Michelle shares homemade recipes like a spiced and spiked apple cider and a cozy Organifi hot chocolate pumpkin spice chai latte that’s sure to add some magic to your celebrations.

Now, she encourages women in perimenopause and menopause who feel like “something’s just not right” to consider getting their hormones checked. To wrap things up, Michelle shares some delicious holiday recipes infused with olive oil and love that will keep you feeling vibrant all season long!

    487: The Science, Secrets, and Wisdom of Water: How Coherent Water Can Transform Your Health with Mario Brainovic

    Today, we're diving into a topic that's as vital as the air we breathe but often overlooked: the water we drink. And not just any water—coherent water. What if I told you that the quality of the water you consume could drastically change not only your health but also the quality of your life? Imagine this: 98.6% of the molecules in your body are water. That means water isn’t just something you drink; it’s essentially who you are. But here's the kicker: the state of that water matters. It’s not just about being H2O—it’s about how that water is structured, how it’s energized, and how it interacts with every cell in your body. When we change the state of the water we consume, we change our entire biology, boosting our energy, enhancing brain function, balancing our gut microbiome, and even reversing the signs of aging. That’s where our guest today comes in. Meet Mario Brainovic, the CEO of Analemma, a revolutionary company that’s transforming the way we think about water. Mario is on a mission to change the world one sip at a time by upgrading your everyday tap or bottled water into something truly remarkable: coherent water. This isn’t your average filtered or purified water. Coherent water is structured and charged to mirror the natural, harmonious state found in untouched nature. What is coherent water? Think of it like this: regular water is chaotic and disorganized at the molecular level. It’s like listening to a symphony where all the instruments are out of tune—it’s still music, but it’s not pleasant, and it’s certainly not optimal. Coherent water, on the other hand, is like that same symphony but perfectly in sync, every note harmonizing beautifully. And when you drink that symphony, every cell in your body starts to perform at its best. The technology behind Analemma isn’t just about filtering out impurities—it’s about transforming the water’s molecular structure, restoring it to a state that can significantly enhance our health. Clinical studies have shown that drinking this water can increase your cellular energy by boosting ATP production—essentially the battery that powers your body. Imagine having 20% more energy simply by changing the water you drink!  Analemma water has been shown to improve brain function, enhance gut health, and even slow down the aging process. In one study, participants who drank coherent water daily for three months showed up to 12 years of biological age regeneration. That’s right—just by drinking better water, you could potentially turn back the clock on your cellular age. So today, Mario is here to unpack all things coherent water: what it is, why it matters, and how you can start upgrading your water—and your life—today. Whether you’re dealing with low energy, brain fog, gut issues, or just want to optimize your health in every way possible, this conversation will open your eyes to the power of water like never before.

    Introduction to a Brain Rewire: Why Your Brain May Be Sabotaging You And What To Do About It

    Today, we're diving deep into something that so many of us are grappling with right now—our mental and emotional well-being. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in patterns that don't serve you, then this episode is for you. Lately, I've had countless conversations with friends who are struggling. They keep asking the same questions: Why am I still suffering? Why can't I break out of these unhealthy patterns? Why don't I have the career, the body, the relationship I want? If these questions resonate with you, then you're in the right place. In this episode, we're talking about How to Rewire Your Brain For Success: 4 Core Beliefs to Adopt to Upgrade Your Life. This is for you if: You want to stop the negative thinking and fear-based thoughts. You struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or "I'm not good enough-itis." You're ready to upgrade your life in every way—spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and emotionally. You're tired of feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, or as my friend Ashley calls it, "quicksand." You know deep down that you're meant for more and you're ready to step into that. The Four Core Beliefs to Upgrade Your Life In this series, we're going to cover four essential beliefs that will transform your life. I'll give you a sneak peek now, and then we'll dive deeper into each one. You Can Rewire Your Brain to Change Your Patterns Yes, you can! It's possible to reprogram your mind to overcome fear, anxiety, self-hate, and overwhelm. Imagine waking up each day with self-love and joy. That's the upgrade we're aiming for. You Can Live in the Present Moment We often get stuck in negative programming from the past or anxiety about the future. But when you live in the present moment, you can become the person you're meant to be and fully experience your life. You Have the Power to Change And guess what? That change can happen instantly. By harnessing your inner power, you can make the shifts necessary to upgrade your life right now. You Can Do Hard Things Growth happens when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones. By doing hard things, we create new neural pathways that lead to an upgraded life. Breaking Free from the Mental Shackles I know this might sound impossible to some of you. Your brain might be telling you, "This isn't possible for me." But that's your brain trying to protect you, keeping you in a loop of unhealthy thought patterns. Today, we're going to talk about how to break that cycle. You're Not Alone If any of this resonates with you—if you feel like a prisoner to your circumstances, overwhelmed by negative thoughts, or just exhausted from trying to stay positive—know that you're not alone. I've been there, and I understand how hard it can be. But I also know that change is possible. This episode is for anyone who feels ready to give up, who has tried everything and still feels stuck. We're going to explore the neuroscience behind how our brains work and how we can rewire them to create lasting change. What If You Could Shift? What if I told you that you could: Have real, authentic love for yourself no matter your body shape or level of success? Overcome depression and anxiety and rise above your fears? Experience true freedom in how you think, feel, and live? Follow your dreams with confidence and thrive every day? You can have all of this and more. By adopting the four core beliefs we'll discuss, you can rewire your brain, break free from past limitations, and start living the life you've always dreamed of. So, are you ready for an upgrade?

    From Fear to Freedom: Overcome Fears and Unlock Your True Potential

    Today marks the fifth episode of The Upgrade series, where we continue our journey of self-empowerment and personal growth. In our last episode, we explored the first five of ten fears that often keep us from realizing our true potential. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, be sure to go back and catch up! This episode is for all of you current and aspiring thought leaders, creatives, visionaries, influencers, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Whether you're already established or still dreaming of making your mark, this episode is your guide to breaking through those final barriers that hold you back. One of the most common fears is the fear of bad reviews, trolls, and haters. When you're doing something worthwhile, negativity is almost inevitable. The key is not to let it affect your energy or mission. Learning to forgive, block, and bless those who bring negativity into your space is essential to maintaining your positivity and focus. Remember, it's the people who resonate with your message that truly matter. Another significant fear is the fear of failure. But failure is not the end—it's merely a stepping stone to success. Every setback offers an opportunity to learn and grow. Many of the world's most successful people faced significant failures before they achieved greatness, and your journey can be no different. The fear of being too old can also be paralyzing, but age is just a number. Whether you're 30, 40, 50, or beyond, it's never too late to start something new and impactful. The world is full of examples of people who found success later in life, and you can be one of them. Often, we feel that we need permission to pursue our dreams. But stop waiting for external validation—the only permission you need is your own. Everything you need to start making a difference is already within you, and the time to act is now. Lastly, there's the fear that you won't convince people of your message. It's important to remember that your message isn't for everyone, and that's okay. Focus on those who need to hear your story and who will be moved by it. When you're passionate about what you're sharing, the right people will find you and be inspired by your journey. This episode is dedicated to helping you gain the confidence you need to live a life filled with passion, purpose, health, and wealth. If you’re ready to overcome the imposter syndrome once and for all, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss. Let’s leave those fears in the past where they belong and step into the greatness that 2024 and beyond have in store for us. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
