Episode Summary:

Michelle's story of recovery @ 0:00

Michelle detailed her journey of ignoring her health needs until pneumonia landed her in a medically-induced coma for 3 weeks. Doctors gave her no hope, but through natural healing, hydration and lifestyle changes she regained her health.

The importance of gut health @ 2:00

Michelle and Melissa discussed how gut health impacts everything, citing Hippocrates. Testing pH levels reveals disease environments; balancing pH through diet optimizes health.

Testing and maintaining pH levels @ 6:31

Michelle guides clients to test saliva and urine pH weekly using strips, aiming 6.2-7.6 range. Values reveal needed adjustments like more water, less caffeine. Consistency prevents issues from manifesting.

Making lifestyle changes through baby steps @ 10:44

Michelle advocates incremental changes clients can sustain, like replacing one fast food meal weekly. This builds motivation through improved feelings, avoiding failure from overwhelming changes.

About the Podcast

Don't Wait For Your Wake Up Call!
with Melissa Deally, Integrative Health Practitioner
As an Integrative Health Practitioner I have come to realize that we simply haven't been taught how to optimize our health, and that the average person has habits that are negatively impacting their health, due to this lack of knowledge, through no fault of their own. Public health and our school system simply don't teach us enough about nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health or how interconnected our bodies are! Modern life has us more sleep deprived, stressed out and the sickest ever, and I believe it is time to bring this education to you, so that you CAN be empowered in your health and you can then make the right choices for you and your family. The choices you make today impact your future 1 year, 5 years, 10 years + from now. It is never too early to start looking after your health, as Health is your TRUE wealth....without it what do you have?
