    Episode 12 | featuring Christa Rymal

    On this week's episode, Christa Rymal transitions from host to featured guest! Interviewed by podcast producer Marshall Saunders and recorded onsite The Point Property- a rare and welcomed location for the Rebel & Be Well show. The duo discusses the history behind The Point property and the intimate story of its evolution from a private cabin to a purpose-driven health retreat center. Better understand what different communities The Point serves, and what its founder, Christa Rymal, has as her own mission when employing the space. As she shares her story, Christa also reinspires listeners as she comments on the importance of proactive (vs. reactive) medicine and whole-being care (vs. siloed practices). Take a look backward as Christa helps listeners learn of the Native American History that exists on the peninsula, and understand more about Dave Hubers, Christa's father who had initially acquired The Point property years ago. Explore the legacy he leaves behind, as well as how his personality and career have shaped Christa and The Point live on. Tune in to enjoy the rare opportunity to listen to Christa answering questions instead of asking them; gleam insight into The Point behind-the-scenes; and gain a breath of fresh air in your own health journey! #rebelandbewell Subscribe to the show:     / @rebelandbewell   Sign up for a Dry Farm Wines membership and as a new member you will earn an extra bottle for a penny with your first order of wine when you use this link: http://dryfarmwines.com/thepointretreats Shop Paddle North Paddleboards Here: https://paddlenorth.com/ Listen to the Rebel & Be Well Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wA365k...

    Ep. 11: Ancestral Health

    On this week's episode, Christa Rymal is joined by host and producer of the popular Wise Traditions podcast, Hilda Labrada Gore; an ancestral health advocate and podcast coach. Meeting back in Minnesota, USA (as Hilda is regularly off traveling the world—from Kenya to Peru to Australia to Ecuador and beyond) the duo talk about exploring indigenous practices for optimal well-being. Hilda and Christa take a fun and relatable turn in this podcast as they use Hilda's knowledge to come up with a handful of best ancestral health practices to use while traveling. Teaching us that, we can enjoy a modern lifestyle, well, by using just a handful of hacks that still hold true from our ancestors. We also turned the tables on Hilda in this episode and invited her to apply a CGM (continuous glucose monitor)- a more modern approach to wellness. Watch as Christa (RN) delivers Hilda the tool, and also shares with the audience some benefits modern tracking, too, can have on health. A great example of bridging ancestral health with modern medicine. Tune in to be reminded of the wisdom past generations held, how we still have much to learn from other cultures, and how to mindfully use this old age wisdom to better improve health, now.

    Ep. 10: Biohacking & "Silver Bullets"

    On this week's episode, Christa Rymal is joined by biohacking-influencer, Thaddeus Owen; also the Manager of Global Product Regulations for MillerKnoll Company. Thaddeus and Christa discuss the now-popular industry of #biohacking, the renaissance of cold plunging, and other wellness "silver bullets". For listeners looking to grow, the duo covers common health struggles including anxiety, weight loss, and disrupted sleep. Thaddeus offers realistic opportunities to biohack your own lifestyle at home- ideas like cold exposure (e.g., cold plunges), sauna therapy, walking barefoot, grounding, morning sunlight for circadian rhythm, blue lockers, and much more. Additionally, the couple reviews the literature and what is being discovered in research about the human use of modern technology. Ultimately, begging the question: Just because we can, does it mean we should? Tune in to learn from an original biohacker, new research done in the industry, and zero/low-cost tips for increasing performance and improving health at home.

    Ep. 9: Choosing the "right thing" Regardless of the Nay-Sayers ft. Julie Schmidt

    On this week's episode, Christa Rymal is joined by Julie Schmidt- Previous Sr. VP & CAO at HealthEast, and earlier CEO of Woodwinds Health Campus. After 43 years in leadership roles, and humbly learning from mistakes early in her career, Julie offers some wisdom in leadership, life, and purpose: - Address the struggle instead of denying it - Leading by example; offering permission to rest in a stressful burnout culture - In leadership, as in life, things often come full circle - Ask your supporters/employees/followers what they think is the best solution. (Often leaders can best serve by listening and supporting their audience, not having all the answers.) After retiring as a leader of hundreds, Julie still continues to guide many on their leadership journey. She does the same for our audience on today's podcast by reminding us of the importance of asking questions, giving honest feedback, and imagining possibilities. Tune in to hear from a servant leader and how she found success in business using a heart-forward approach. (Bonus for business leaders: Julie shares a suggestion for what's truly needed to ensure a company's financial future.)

    Ep. 6 - Wellness or Wellbeing? ft. Dr.Bryan Williams

    On this week's episode, Christa Rymal is joined by Bryan Williams- a practicing pulmonary and critical care physician and the first Chief Wellbeing Officer at MHealth Fairview. Bryan offers listeners insight into what can be learned from his experience as CWO. Bryan sets the stage for today's conversation by emphasizing one large distinction: Wellness = A Lack of Disease Well-Being = Feeling Content with Your Station in Life (e.g. If in the workplace- experiencing joy in work, etc.) Christa and Dr. Bryan move on from here as we they discuss burnout, successful and unsuccessful systems, the business cases for wellness interventions, and seemingly small changes that make large differences in the health of employees. Bryan shares the value of understanding what is inside and outside of our control and reminds us of our own resilience. (Note: The ideas Bryan shares can be used to improve the health and well-being of healthcare workers, yet can also be applied to listeners' personal lives and corporate workplace cultures.) Tune in this week to soak up hard-earned wisdom from someone making large policy changes in the health industry.
