E-28 Bio-individuality: One Person’s Medicine is Another Person’s Poison
In this episode, I discuss the importance of bio-individuality and what factors play into it: everything from genetics to gut health to blood type and more! Also, you’ll learn why comparing your journey to others and replicating what other people do for health and wellness can be risky. We’re all unique and our bio-individuality can determine what we need to be healthy, which is going to be different from what anyone else needs.
I also briefly talk about how muscle testing can help you determine what is compatible with your body and its unique needs.

E-26 From Being an Overmedicated Child to Living Rx Free - My Story: Stopping SSRI, ADHD, antibiotic, & Birth Control Usage
In this episode, I talk about my experience of being overmedicated as a child and how it impacted my health growing up. I explain how ended up on 7 different prescriptions at just 17 years old and the plethora of side effects that left me feeling like a shell of a person.
Taking SSRIs, ADHD stimulants, birth control, and long-term antibiotics for acne had a detrimental effect on my health and led me to develop chronic illnesses (which I have since put into remission). Stopping the medication came with severe withdrawal symptoms that impacted my life for years.
If you’re contemplating getting off medication (with your doctor's supervision) or have been a victim of medical abuse and/or being overmedicated, I invite you to listen to connect and learn about the predatory system that the medical-industrial complex is.

E-24 The Connection Between Food Fear and IBS
Many people diagnosed with IBS turn to restricting certain foods or food groups in hopes of alleviating their digestive troubles. Oftentimes, this restriction can lead to fearing food and unhealthy eating habits. Not only does this negatively impact the psyche but it also impacts the body on a physical level. This anxiety around food can worsen IBS symptoms, thus creating more anxiety.
In this episode, we will discuss what food fear is, how the anxiety it creates can worsen digestive symptoms, the role of the gut-brain connection, and tips to minimize food fear.
