Walking into what Wendy affectionally refers to as her “70’s disco condo” for our interview I could tell right off the bat that Wendy and I were going to get along. Her carefree spirit and welcoming energy made me instantly feel like we had been friends forever. This ability to make people feel comfortable and at ease plays a major role in her business. Wendy has been in marketing, branding and advertising for years, but a year and a half ago she decided to leave the agency life and go out on her own. Within a year Wendy was matching her corporate salary and doing it all from the comfort of her own home. In this episode we talk about so many different things, but the heart of the conversation is centered around the idea that you don’t have to settle for a job or work environment that doesn’t fulfill you. Wendy took the courageous steps to create a brand of her own and although she had fears and doubts she pursued her vision and now works helping small businesses make their mark. Here are some of the things we discuss: -Wendy’s experience going back to work 6 weeks after having a baby - The 5 year question Wendy’s business coach asked her that gave Wendy a more clear picture for her business- Eliminating toxic people and anything that cause you to doubt yourself- Why Wendy needed to mentally and physically cleanse herself of everything from her former agency life to allow her true talent to shine - Learning to truly believe it when people compliment you and your work - Setting up “sacred times” for you and your business- Creating workflow processes that will allow you to manage stress - Where Wendy’s inspiration comes from - The process Wendy goes through with her clients to flesh out what it is they actually want their business and message to convey - The ONE thing you should absolutely be doing to build a successful brand - Where Wendy’s love of Black & White cookies came from and where you can find the best Black & White cookie in Atlanta Contact Wendy:wendypruittcreates.com Wendy’s business coach: Shelly Brockman of themoxieproject.com https://www.facebook.com/wendypruittcreates/Books that have inspired Wendy: The E Myth You are a Badass

The lady who cuts my hair must think I'm a freak. It seems like every time I visit her for a haircut, I'm politely requesting that she save several clumps of my hair clippings for me to place in a small envelope and mail to my friend Wendy Myers. Why am I mailing my hair? Because Wendy is the expert when it comes to something called "hair mineral analysis". And she doesn't stop there: she does urine and stool too, so I sent her that way last month, and she was able to reveal a host of health information we can find from our hair, our urine and our stool - all topics that we address on this podcast. Wendy is a functional diagnostic nutritionist (FDN), a certified holistic health coach (CHHC), and the founder of Liveto110. She attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York and has a degree in Entrepreneurship from the University of Southern California. She is certified in Hair Mineral Analysis for the purpose of designing programs for clients to correct their metabolism and body chemistry with customized targeted nutrient therapy. Wendy’s interest in nutrition began with the death of her father from esophageal cancer. Intuitively, she knew his chemo, radiation, and ten medications killed him prematurely. She vowed to find out what made him sick, why he died, what role medications played in his demise, and how she could avoid the same fate. The more Wendy learned, the more she realized that all the answers to health do not lie in our medical system. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why a lot of people say that the hair is really not a reflection of what's going on inside the body...[4:00] -How hair analysis actually works in terms of accuracy and lab testing...[6:25] -Why you need to look at mineral ratios and metal ratios when you do a hair tissue mineral analysis...[8:25] -Why Wendy thinks my "soil" is high in heavy metals...[15:45] -Why cooking in cast iron skillets can actually cause oxidation in the body...[23:02] -The problem with the way that most physicians do a urine test...[36:15] -What Wendy learned from my urine test in the "pre metals" and "post metals" results...[38:55] -What the Fukushima disaster in Japan is doing to people's metal levels of metals like cesium...[40:50] -How a stool metals test is different than a stool test for gut health...[50:15] -What Wendy learned from my stool test...[51:10] -And much more!
