Heal Nourish Grow Podcast Cheryl McColgan

Dr. Laura Brown is a naturopathic doctor who uses a holistic medicine approach. She has a variety of skills but pays special attention to the inner workings of the gut microbiome, one of the most important parts of our bodies.



This discussion was interesting because Dr. Brown talks about the connection between mind, body and spirit and how all of these work together for a person to be healthy and whole. When a part of the body is out of order or functioning incorrectly, it can throw off everything. Treating people holistically instead of traditionally means choosing to go deeper into the why and how of the body.



This is an important topic because many people put their bodies through stress, unhealthy diet or workout habits, and generally not taking care of themselves. Using this knowledge to change habits and find ways of healing, like eating whole foods, exercising and getting enough rest are key to creating ultimate wellness.

Dr. Alyssa Dweck is an OBGYN with a special interest in female menopausal and sexual health. She has co-authored several books and been on two morning shows. Dr. Dweck also regularly contributes to several magazines and professional publications.



Today's discussion walks through age-related fertility and female health issues. Understanding that fertility takes time is important. Dr. Dweck recommends figuring it out by your early thirties and creating a plan with your gynecologist. She also references using cryogenics to freeze eggs, to save them from aging until you're ready to begin the process.



Toward the end of the conversation, we shifted to perimenopausal and menopausal health. Even though it may sound scary and overwhelming, it's something that should be explored and discussed with your doctor to make the transition as smooth as possible.

This episode is the follow-up to my first New Year's goals podcast episode earlier in December. After learning how to space out your goals and tackle them one at a time, I've got another method to tackle your goals in the new year.



Today we discuss what I call "The Five C's."



These are consistency, commitment, choose, community, and connect. My bonus "C" is clarity. All of these are keys to create habit change through mindset and daily choices.



Everyone needs these things in order to be successful in implementing goals and habits. These keys can make the difference between a short-term changes and habits that actually stick in the long term.

When it comes to New Year's goals, people can easily get discouraged. Everyone starts out with the best intentions and new goals. However, many quickly lose steam and may ditch New Year's resolutions altogether. In most cases, this is because people are overly aggressive with their goals.



In this video, I explain the purpose of my digital ultimate wellness and happiness workbook and how it can contribute to your success in creating new habits. Trying to achieve smaller goals over a long period of time rather than massive goals over a short time, makes new habits easier, more sustainable and will help you achieve your longer term goals.
