98 - Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System with Susan Salenger

Have you ever felt like you had to fight tooth and nail just to get the medical care you deserve? You're not alone. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the broken healthcare system, particularly as it pertains to women. We'll be chatting with Susan Salenger, author of "Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System," as she sheds light on the barriers women face in accessing quality medical care.

Susan opens our eyes to the harsh reality that, even in 2021, gender bias still runs rampant in the medical community. But here's the kicker – some of the barriers women encounter stem from within themselves. It's a double-edged sword, really. Women often find themselves prioritizing the health needs of their families over their own. Can you relate?

Navigating the healthcare system as a woman is no easy feat. But armed with knowledge and awareness, we can begin to dismantle these barriers and advocate for the quality care we all deserve. Tune in today as Susan Salenger shares her invaluable insights with us. Your health matters – find out how to make sure no one sidelines it!

# 97 - Are Electronic Devices Secretly Ruining Your Health? Nature's Brilliant Solution with Justin Frandson

Ever feel that something is “off” no matter what you do? Your energy never seems to rally and you can’t drop stubborn weight even though you’re doing “all the things”? 



Today, I’m joined by an incredible guest, Justin Frandson, Athleticism Performance Coach, founder of EMF Rocks, and author, who's here to shed light on the fascinating link between your environment and your ability to feel and perform your best.



In working with his athletes, Justin noticed that many were experiencing problems with performance, and he began to connect the dots to the effects of technology.



For example, he noticed that when one of his athletes stopped wearing his smartwatch, his performance dramatically improved. 



In his research, Justin found that the EMFs we’re exposed to from 5G, technology wearables, Wifi, and other various forms of electricity, are harming the human body in many ways.



In this episode we dive into EMFs and their effects on our natural sleep patterns, hormones, energy, and performance, along with lifestyle tips to reduce EMF exposure.



We also dive deep into EMF rocks and how they can reduce EMF toxicity that significantly affects your health. 



Justin shares easy changes we can make that reduce our EMF exposure. He also shows us how his innovative solution – EMF Rocks – can reduce EMF toxicity that you’re exposed to.
