In this week’s episode of Loving Wellness, I am joined by quantum biology expert Carrie Bennett. As a college athlete, supposedly at the pinnacle of health, Carrie began suffering chronic joint issues and insomnia. After her first child was born, she developed debilitating stomach pain, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog. Armed with a BS in Biology, an MS in Nutrition, and certifications as a personal trainer, massage therapist, and breathing coach, she still couldn't find the root of her issues. That's when she found quantum biology. Now, as an online educator, clinician, and faculty member of the Quantum Biology Collective, Carrie's mission is to teach her clients how to create a healing environment by applying quantum health strategies around light, water, electrons, and mitochondrial support. Given these tools, clients who have spent years trying to improve their health—just as Carrie did—finally experience powerful healing and lasting benefits.

In the episode, we cover: 


What is quantum health?
Why circadian practices should be the foundation of any wellness routine & how to optimize your circadian rhythm 
When are the best times to get light exposure for optimal health?
The key time of day to get sunlight specifically for gut, brain, & thyroid health
How to properly block artificial blue light & the best blue light blocking glasses 
The truth about melatonin and vitamin D supplements
Myths about sun exposure & why we shouldn’t be afraid of the sun
Why you may want to rethink wearing sunglasses
Leptin: the crucial hormone no one’s talking about
Signs you have leptin resistance and how to optimize leptin levels
All about mitochondrial health & tips to boost mitochondrial function and energy + decrease inflammation 
EMFs and the role they play in mitochondrial dysfunction
The science behind grounding / earthing
Bridging the gap between science and spirituality: the science behind using compassion, love, and intention for better health

...and so much more!

In this week’s solo episode of Loving Wellness, I am sharing all of my favorite tips on how to actually incorporate more whole foods in your diet! We're often told we need to "prioritize whole foods" but aren't given the tools to actually integrate this dietary advice into our lives, so in today's episode, I break down the exact step-by-step process I walk my clients through as we work on eating more whole foods. I share practical tools and resources to help you simplify your diet and make healthy eating easier, and I also share about the importance of starting with a positive, loving intention in the process of cleaning up your diet. As always, thank you for listening!
