Holistic Health Made Simple | Reclaim Your Health by Optimizing Your Gut and Boosting Metabolism Jolene - Nutritional Therapy Practitioner

In this episode I talk about the fear of food and toxins that many people have in the health and wellness space. I dive into why fear has no place in holistic health and wellness, and how it can actually make you sicker and more stressed. I share some tips on how to overcome the fear of food and toxins, and how to make the best choices for your health and budget. Encourages you to listen to your body and see how different foods affect you, rather than following the fear mongering of others. Some of the key takeaways are: 
- Fear of food and toxins can stem from removing certain foods or food groups to heal your body, or from being exposed to too much information and misinformation about the dangers of certain foods or substances. 
- Fear is detrimental to your health, as it can cause inflammation, stress, and anxiety. It can also prevent you from enjoying the foods that nourish your body and soul. 
- You can overcome the fear of food and toxins by doing the best you can within your budget, buying the best quality food you can afford, and making small changes as you go along. You don't have to be perfect or avoid everything that is not natural or organic. 
- You can also overcome the fear of food and toxins by listening to your body and seeing how different foods affect you. You can reintroduce foods that you removed while healing, and see if they cause any negative symptoms or reactions. You can also experiment with different foods that are in season, and that you like and enjoy. You don't have to follow the rules or opinions of others, as your body knows best what it needs and wants. 
- Do not fear food, as it is meant to nourish your body, mind, and soul. Food is not the enemy, but a friend and ally. Enjoy it and appreciate it, and don't let fear ruin your relationship with food.

Caregiving is a difficult and rewarding role that many people find themselves in at some point in their lives. Whether it's for a parent, a spouse, a child, or a friend, caregiving can take a toll on the physical, mental, and emotional health of the caregiver. That's why it's so important to have support, resources, and strategies to cope and thrive as a caregiver. 
In this episode, I interview Danae, a yoga instructor and a caregiver for her father who has been diagnosed with three different cancers. We talk about the challenges and joys of caregiving, the importance of self-care, and the lessons we have learned from their experiences. Danae shares how she balances her life while caring for her father, how she copes with grief and guilt, and how she uses laughter, yoga, and podcasts to stay healthy and happy. She also gives some advice and encouragement for anyone who is new to caregiving or struggling with it. Danae and I also discuss the role of siblings, doctors, and neighbors in the caregiving journey, and the value of communication, boundaries, and acceptance. 
This episode is a heartfelt and honest conversation that will inspire and empower anyone who is a caregiver or knows someone who is. It will also give you some tips and tools to take care of yourself and your loved ones in the best possible way.
