    The Hidden Path to the Body's Wisdom with Dr. Mary Sanders

    In this episode of Rebellious Wellness Lifestyle, I welcomed Dr. Mary Sanders, a medical intuitive and chiropractor with over 30 years of experience. We explored how our bodies communicate with us through chakras, energy medicine, and intuitive healing. Dr. Mary shares her journey from traditional chiropractic practice to becoming a medical intuitive and offers practical wisdom on how listeners can tap into their body's innate intelligence. I'm always intrigued by the idea--science really--that says our body holds on to traumas, big and small resulting in pain, anxiety, a constant feeling that something isn't right. Mary expands on this concept and emphasized that we can release these traumas and heal. "You have access to all this information just as I do. And you don't have to go to school in order to strengthen those awarenesses.Mary believes that we can practice listening to our body's messages with curiosity and compassion and get answers. She also strongly believes in the power of a meditation practice to expand our awareness beyond the five senses. Accessing Your Intuition: Practical guidance for listeners on how to begin receiving energetic messages without specialized training, starting with expanded awareness through meditation. Body Communication 101: Simple techniques for listeners to ask their bodies questions and interpret the messages behind physical symptoms. Chakra System Overview: Introduction to chakras as energy wheels and vortexes that have existed in Vedic sciences for centuries. First Chakra Deep Dive: Detailed explanation of the root chakra's connection to safety, security, trust, the adrenal glands, and how emotional themes of abandonment and instability can manifest as physical symptoms. Brain-Body Connection: The surprising fact that 80% of information flows from body to brain rather than the reverse, highlighting the importance of listening to physical symptoms. I'm all over this stuff lately more than ever. Perhaps it's the emotional climate we find the world in. Perhaps it's just my inner wisdom telling me it's time to get serious about the world I cannot see. Resources Mentioned Dr. Joe Dispenza - Mentioned for his work on chakras having their own energy bodies and brainsDr. Albin Shahar - Positive psychologist who taught Dr. Mary about neuroscience and meditationFrancesca McCartney - Founder of the Academy of Intuition Medicine in Sausalito, California Connect with Dr. Mary Sanders Website: www.DrMarySanders.comFree 15-minute consultation available on her websiteUpcoming programs: Group healings Energy Medicine Toolbox starting in May

    Life Line Screening could save your life

    My guest this week is Alicia Botyrius from Lifeline Screening. This short episode was sparked after a few conversations with people close to me who had relatives who suffered strokes or heart attacks from unidentified vascular anomalies. With companies like Life Line affordable testing is in our hands regardless of what a doctor might think is necessary. Peace of mind is priceless and the information one gets from these tests can give you that and or, save a life if there is a problem. Here's what we covered: Understanding Lifeline Screening Established in 1993, a leading provider of preventive health screenings in the U.S.Importance and legitimacy due to longevity in the industry. Preventive Health Screenings Explained Focus on vascular system screening not typically covered by insurance unless symptomatic.Early detection for asymptomatic conditions like plaque buildup that can lead to strokes. Importance for All Ages Emphasis on why screenings are relevant even if you feel healthy or are younger. Personal Stories & Testimonials Real-life examples where screenings detected critical issues leading to timely medical interventions. Available Tests at Lifeline Screening Events: Carotid Artery ScreeningAbdominal Aortic Aneurysm CheckPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Test Six-lead EKG for AFib Detection Convenience and Accessibility: Over 15,000 locations across the U.S., making it easy for anyone to access these services. Membership Program – One Life Offers additional screenings at discounted rates with automatic annual renewal options. Professional Medical Reports: Easy-to-understand reports available online within seven days post-screening. Once again I encourage listeners to consider proactive measures especially if there are family history related concerns or if parents are aging and you want to have the best tests that their docs might not order. Look, women are at greater risk of stroke than men and is the third leading cause of death for women. And for many women, stroke is the first sign anything is wrong. With all of the push for unnecessary tests and procedures in western medicine it seems they are missing some vital testing for women. And, arterial health is a way more important marker than cholesterol.

    Stop Fighting Your Body: A Pain-Free Approach to Moving Better at Any Age
