I Think, I Can Luella Jonk

Yes, I decide to close up this Podcast!
In this final episode, I explain why. The health and wellness space is flooded with fear-inducing health claims, often implying that you need to invest in various products to improve your well-being. It’s making us stressed and may even be causing orthorexia for some.
Very few people are telling you what you really need to hear, which is that you need to dumb down and simplify your life. This doesn’t cost you money and only requires common sense—not a biochemistry degree.
I will continue to interview expert guests, just on another show. Listen in to learn more about why I am doing this and what my intentions are for the new show, Mixing Business With Pleasure. 
Vroom Vroom!! Let’s go!!

In this episode, we explored many exciting and surprising points. However, they all circled back to one crucial theme: the importance of defining your purpose.
This is the key to feeling fulfilled in your personal relationships and financial goals, and it's a journey that can inspire and motivate you.
Andrew uses science and experience to validate his teachings in a way that is impossible to argue against. If you were to track the historical data over time, it would be all there—if you care to look at it. Doing so would provide you with great insight in to why you have found yourself in the state you are in right now. However, most people would rather ignore their spending habits and, possibly, their partners by going after instant gratification.
Tune in to discover how listening, being curious, and avoiding a me-centric mindset can lead to more happiness and security in finances and personal relationships.

In true ‘Luella’ style, which some might call somewhat disorganized, I did a mind dump for this episode on all the reasons why you might be feeling lost and apathetic about life.
This episode is for the person trying to find a sense of meaning and happiness in everyday life. 
In this episode, I uncover:
The importance of having a sense of community while also spending more time in solitude. The need to connect with Source, albeit God or another higher power. Why is it never a means to an end but rather a journey that will feed the soul. How self-awareness is the first behavior you must strive towards in order to change.  Most of humankind’s lack of focus keeps them in a scarcity loop. How abundance is already yours and how gratitude will allow you to see it.  My Program for Entrepreneurs, Executives and others who are addicted to dopamine:

Today, I had an enlightening conversation with Dennis Wong, a functional and integrative registered pharmacist, about the various manifestations of stress on a physiological, emotional, and mental level. We combined his expertise in pharmacy (the science) with my observations of stress in my therapy room (psychology).
In essence, stress presents itself in physical and emotional signs, and it is crucial for us to heed these signals from our bodies on a daily basis, empowering us to take control of our well-being.

If you have never worked with a functional integrative dietician before to combat your ills, perhaps consider doing so. In today’s episode, Michelle and I discussed just some of the misguided information playing on various media channels, so you don’t need to continue to guess. We spoke about how stress plays a massive role in combating disease and made the argument it is not only one lifestyle factor playing a role in chronic illness; it is diet, exercise, social circles, sleep, environmental toxins, and possibly most importantly, stress.
Michelle Shapiro is an Integrative/ Functional Registered Dietitian in NYC who has helped over 1000+ clients reverse their anxiety, heal long-standing gut and immune issues, and lovingly approach their weight.

In today’s solo episode, I explained how maintaining a personal vision is imperative to ridding oneself of guilt, staying true to one's values, and likely circumventing a possible identity crisis down the road.
I also spend a fair bit of time discussing John and Julie Gottman’s latest book Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection,and the excellent job they did reminding couples that attuning and attending to their partner’s needs or ask, rather than planning their next comeback response in their heads, is the key to lasting relationships.
Finally, I shared my viewof why most couples are holding on for dear life right now, which is incongruent with Gottman’s current perspective.
