Melissa Deally:

Imagine getting up every day full of energy is

Melissa Deally:

if you were in your 20s. Again, what would that be like? What

Melissa Deally:

would that be worth to you? What is your health worth to you?

Melissa Deally:

Think about it. Your health isn't everything. But without

Melissa Deally:

it, everything else is nothing. And yet too many of us are

Melissa Deally:

taking it for granted until something goes wrong. No one

Melissa Deally:

wakes up hoping to be diagnosed with a disease or chronic

Melissa Deally:

illness. And yet we've never been taught how to be proactive

Melissa Deally:

in our health through our school system, or public health. As a

Melissa Deally:

registered health coach and integrative health practitioner,

Melissa Deally:

I believe it is time this information is made available to

Melissa Deally:

everyone. Combining new knowledge around your health and

Melissa Deally:

the ability to do my functional medicine lab tests in the

Melissa Deally:

comfort of your own home will allow you to optimize your

Melissa Deally:

health for today and all your tomorrow's don't wait for your

Melissa Deally:

wake up call

Melissa Deally:

Welcome back to the don't wait for your wake up call podcast. I

Melissa Deally:

am your host Melissa dealey. And this month my phim is intuition

Melissa Deally:

something we all have, but do we listen to it? Firstly, I'd love

Melissa Deally:

to share a testimonial I received recently from someone

Melissa Deally:

who listened to her intuition that her stomach issues were

Melissa Deally:

caused by being on a prescription drug for way too

Melissa Deally:

long. And now she needed to heal her gut. After doing some

Melissa Deally:

research she found Dr. coveralls CBO protocol and purchased it

Melissa Deally:

but found following it was difficult. She didn't know if

Melissa Deally:

she was doing it right or where to turn to for support. So she

Melissa Deally:

put a comment in the group on Facebook which I was alerted to

Melissa Deally:

and reached out to her to offer the support she was looking for.

Melissa Deally:

And here is her testimonial. Melissa found me last fall

Melissa Deally:

thanks to the natural healing of echolife and since then, she has

Melissa Deally:

been a godsend. In June of 2021. I was having all kinds of

Melissa Deally:

stomach issues due to being told to stay on Pilocytic for way too

Melissa Deally:

long, following a stomach ulcer diagnosis. Fast forward to the

Melissa Deally:

fall of 2021. I had developed food intolerances and had

Melissa Deally:

constant indigestion type pain under my ribs. I was on my path

Melissa Deally:

to healing while doing the CVO protocol from Dr. Cabral. When

Melissa Deally:

Melissa took me under her wings and guided me to healing, it was

Melissa Deally:

a very long, hard struggle with many frustrations and tears.

Melissa Deally:

Melissa was with me every step of the way, her support and kind

Melissa Deally:

uplifting words are something I will forever be grateful for.

Melissa Deally:

Fast forward to 2022, my gut has healed, I no longer have food

Melissa Deally:

intolerances and have never felt healthier or better. Not only

Melissa Deally:

did Melissa teach me about gut health, she also taught me it

Melissa Deally:

was okay to not be okay. And to make time for me. I have learned

Melissa Deally:

stress relief techniques to calm the nervous system that I have

Melissa Deally:

also used in my feisty toddler. Melissa is a wealth of knowledge

Melissa Deally:

and truly cares about her clients, she goes above and

Melissa Deally:

beyond, she truly cares. Thank you, Melissa for all you have

Melissa Deally:

done for me and taught me. And that is from Jamie Mackiewicz in

Melissa Deally:

Pennsylvania. So thank you for sending that in Jamie, I've

Melissa Deally:

truly loved guiding you and your gut back to full health and love

Melissa Deally:

the progress you have made. So let's get back to talking about

Melissa Deally:

intuition. And what is the definition of intuition? I

Melissa Deally:

looked it up. And it is the ability to understand something

Melissa Deally:

immediately without the need for conscious reasoning. That last

Melissa Deally:

bit is key without the need for conscious reasoning. In other

Melissa Deally:

words, it is driven by our unconscious mind, that part of

Melissa Deally:

us that keeps us alive by keeping us breathing or heart

Melissa Deally:

pumping our digestive system working and breaking down our

Melissa Deally:

food, and so much more without us ever giving it a second

Melissa Deally:

thought. In fact, our unconscious preserves the body

Melissa Deally:

despite the lifestyle choices we make and what we put in it. Just

Melissa Deally:

stop and think about that for a minute. Do you ever stop and

Melissa Deally:

think about breaking down the food that you put into your

Melissa Deally:

body? You know, do you ever stop and think about your heart

Melissa Deally:

pumping and choosing to keep it pumping, you might notice it if

Melissa Deally:

you're doing a workout and you get your heart rate up. You

Melissa Deally:

might consciously slow down and think about your breath. But

Melissa Deally:

there's so much happening inside our body thanks to our

Melissa Deally:

unconscious mind that happens despite what we do and what we

Melissa Deally:

put inside our body because that is all part of the

Melissa Deally:

responsibility of our brain which is to keep us safe and

Melissa Deally:

keep us alive. So our unconscious mind is responsible

Melissa Deally:

for 90% of our brain function, whereas our conscious mind is

Melissa Deally:

only responsible for 10 percent, which is where you hear that

Melissa Deally:

saying that we only use 10% of our brain, we're actually using

Melissa Deally:

it all. But we are only consciously aware of the part

Melissa Deally:

that is 10%, right. But we can tap into the other 90%. And one

Melissa Deally:

way of doing that is to learn to tap into your intuition. We all

Melissa Deally:

have intuition, but for some, it's stronger than others. And

Melissa Deally:

there are several reasons for this. Those people who have a

Melissa Deally:

stronger intuition or opening too, are open to listening to

Melissa Deally:

their intuition. They slow down enough to listen to their

Melissa Deally:

intuition, or intuition. When we're in a Go, go go doo doo

Melissa Deally:

doo, rush, rush rush mode, we are not hearing our intuition,

Melissa Deally:

we're in a state that is far too consciously driven at that

Melissa Deally:

point. They also practice listening to their intuition, it

Melissa Deally:

is like a muscle and the more you slow down and allow yourself

Melissa Deally:

to be guided by your intuition, the more you can be as your

Melissa Deally:

awareness of it increases. And of course, it's not just humans

Melissa Deally:

that have intuitive intuition. Look at the entire animal

Melissa Deally:

kingdom. I mean, they put so much of what animals do is run

Melissa Deally:

on intuition. You just need to look at the pets in your own

Melissa Deally:

house to see that right. And animals in the wild too. They

Melissa Deally:

intuitively know which food may not be good for them, and which

Melissa Deally:

food may be good for them, right. And we even know that as

Melissa Deally:

young children when we listen to our bodies, but sometimes that

Melissa Deally:

gets overwritten by parents who meant well. And we're

Melissa Deally:

encouraging us to eat everything on our plate because there's

Melissa Deally:

children starving in Africa, etc. And we're not allowed to

Melissa Deally:

not eat the food that intuitively our body is

Melissa Deally:

suggesting, doesn't want. And as young children, we don't

Melissa Deally:

necessarily have the vocabulary, or even the gumption to stand up

Melissa Deally:

against those well meaning parents telling us we can't

Melissa Deally:

leave the table until we've eaten everything on our plate.

Melissa Deally:

And over time, we learned to tune out our intuition. Because

Melissa Deally:

that must be important when we have to listen to what our

Melissa Deally:

parents are telling us, right. So the way we listen to our

Melissa Deally:

intuition can also vary. For some it might be a feeling in

Melissa Deally:

their gut, hence the saying listen to your gut, for some

Melissa Deally:

maybe felt more in the heart area. For others, it might be a

Melissa Deally:

random idea that just pops into your head. It can be felt in

Melissa Deally:

different ways in the same person. I know for me, I feel my

Melissa Deally:

intuition in my gut. But I do also get those random messages,

Melissa Deally:

ideas, thoughts popping into my head. And sometimes it's a

Melissa Deally:

little bit of the butterflies in our gut, that can be a sign of

Melissa Deally:

nerves as well. And our our nervous system kind of turned on

Melissa Deally:

because we're stepping outside our comfort zone. Like if we've

Melissa Deally:

got a big race or a piano recital or settlers speech.

Melissa Deally:

We can feel those butterflies. But we do have a knowing in our

Melissa Deally:

gut it is, after all, our second brain. So now I am definitely

Melissa Deally:

not an expert in the field of intuition. But I am learning and

Melissa Deally:

I'm excited to bring you two ladies who are experts in

Melissa Deally:

intuition to my show this month in episode number 70 and 72.

Melissa Deally:

Cheryl Brewster who is an intuitive coach who I've worked

Melissa Deally:

with myself, as well as Laura Powers, who is an entertainer,

Melissa Deally:

celebrity psychic actress, model host of her own podcast, healing

Melissa Deally:

powers, podcasts and TV show behind the scenes with Laura

Melissa Deally:

powers. So I'm super excited to have both of these wonderful

Melissa Deally:

ladies on the show this month to share their expertise on the

Melissa Deally:

topic. But today, I just want to share with you a few of my

Melissa Deally:

experiences with intuition, as you may relate. And it may

Melissa Deally:

encourage you to or spark an interest to, you know, start

Melissa Deally:

digging into your own intuition again, and figuring it out and

Melissa Deally:

learning how to listen to it and interpret what it's trying to

Melissa Deally:

tell you. Right. So whether this is all brand new to you or you

Melissa Deally:

are possibly afraid of your intuition as I was. Or you might

Melissa Deally:

be dipping your toes into working with your intuition and

Melissa Deally:

looking for guidance to learn more. Stick with me these four

Melissa Deally:

weeks and I promise you will learn a lot. If you're enjoying

Melissa Deally:

So when I was a very young child, probably three to four

Melissa Deally:

years old, I have a memory of my mom telling me in the morning

Melissa Deally:

one morning that she'd woken in the night and knew that my dad

Melissa Deally:

had been in a car accident. We lived in Australia at the time,

Melissa Deally:

and he had driven down to Thredbo, a ski resort. And as I

Melissa Deally:

said, she knew he had been in an accident. And that kind of

Melissa Deally:

frightened me. But soon after he had called, and told her that he

Melissa Deally:

had been in an accident and that he was okay. And so she was able

Melissa Deally:

to go back to sleep. So all's well that ends well, right. But

Melissa Deally:

as a four year old, or three year old, however old I was this

Melissa Deally:

whole conversation frighten me. Firstly, the thought of my dad

Melissa Deally:

being in a car accident was scary. But I was also confused

Melissa Deally:

as to how my mum knew that before he even called her and I

Melissa Deally:

decided, I didn't want to know stuff ahead of time like that.

Melissa Deally:

And honestly, I don't remember if I had the cognitive ability

Melissa Deally:

to make that decision at age four. Or if I made it at an

Melissa Deally:

older age when I heard my mom retelling that story, because

Melissa Deally:

that is a very conscious mind decision. Regardless, I didn't

Melissa Deally:

want to know bad things. And so I unconsciously spent a lot of

Melissa Deally:

time blocking my intuition, as that felt safer to me. But

Melissa Deally:

ironically, our intuition of course, can also keep us safe.

Melissa Deally:

And another event occurred when I was four, that I remember

Melissa Deally:

clear as day. And we do tend to remember traumatic incidents

Melissa Deally:

that occurred before age six, even though we don't remember a

Melissa Deally:

lot of what happened in our life before age six, our unconscious

Melissa Deally:

mind remembers all of it, but our conscious mind doesn't

Melissa Deally:

remember it. But this was traumatic. And that is why I

Melissa Deally:

remember this particular event. So well. I was baking in the

Melissa Deally:

kitchen with my mom and her intuition kicked in, she told me

Melissa Deally:

to run to check to see if my two year old brother was with my

Melissa Deally:

dad, who was in the garage, I ran to the garage, and he did

Melissa Deally:

not have my brother. So I ran back and reported to mom that my

Melissa Deally:

brother was not with dad, she took off ran out of the kitchen

Melissa Deally:

outside to our pool that we had literally just had built and

Melissa Deally:

gated, and she looked over the fence at the pool, couldn't see

Melissa Deally:

him in the pool or any or anywhere around the pool area.

Melissa Deally:

So we ran around the house looking for him. And then she

Melissa Deally:

ran back to the pool. And this time, she saw him floating on

Melissa Deally:

the surface of the water. And he's very, very fair. And the

Melissa Deally:

first time she looks, she thinks that just the way the sun was

Melissa Deally:

coming in to shining on the pool that he might have been in the

Melissa Deally:

sunlight and because he's like literally white blond hair white

Melissa Deally:

skin, that she hadn't seen him in the sunlight. But now he

Melissa Deally:

floated into the shade, and she could see him. So she ran

Melissa Deally:

through the gate and dove into the pool fully clothed with her

Melissa Deally:

shoes on to get him out after telling me to run and get my

Melissa Deally:

dad, I watched in horror thinking my mum was going to die

Melissa Deally:

because my little four year old brain was telling me, you don't

Melissa Deally:

go into a pool fully clothed with shoes on that's just gonna

Melissa Deally:

make you sink to the bottom. But I ran and got my dad. And by the

Melissa Deally:

time my dad got there, and I got back to the pool, my brother was

Melissa Deally:

out of the pool and my dad started giving him mouth to

Melissa Deally:

mouth. And I was told to run next door to the neighbor who

Melissa Deally:

was a doctor. Fortunately, he was home and call for an

Melissa Deally:

ambulance. And he came running over and my brother was taken

Melissa Deally:

away in the ambulance. He spent two days in hospital while they

Melissa Deally:

monitored his symptoms and watch for possible pneumonia. And then

Melissa Deally:

came home. And the great news is that he survived falling in the

Melissa Deally:

pool with absolutely no negative side effects, all because of my

Melissa Deally:

mom's intuition kicking in, and her knowing something was wrong.

Melissa Deally:

And we had to find him. Now. Imagine how easy it would have

Melissa Deally:

been to think. I wonder what he's doing. Oh, he's probably

Melissa Deally:

fine. I'll just get the cookies in the oven and then look for

Melissa Deally:

him. Right. But my mom's intuition is so strong, she knew

Melissa Deally:

she had to look for him now or that we had to look for him now.

Melissa Deally:

So it turns out our dog had dug a hole under the fence, which

Melissa Deally:

was big enough for my two year old brother to follow him

Melissa Deally:

through. And my brother had a matchbox harvester truck. Some

Melissa Deally:

of you listening probably remember Matchbox cars and

Melissa Deally:

trucks. And he decided to throw that in the pool for whatever

Melissa Deally:

reason. And of course, once he did that he wanted to have it

Melissa Deally:

back. And so he jumped in after it to get it. And guess what

Melissa Deally:

that entire incident was the start of our swimming lessons

Melissa Deally:

and a long high level swimming career for both of us. And in

Melissa Deally:

fact, my brother still swims as a World Cup champion at a World

Melissa Deally:

Cup champions master's level. So yes, thank goodness for

Melissa Deally:

intuition, when it can save us from danger. You're and save

Melissa Deally:

lives is the same intuition that might stop you from, you know,

Melissa Deally:

stepping out in front of a car, you

Melissa Deally:

look left, you look right, you look, you know, and then it's

Melissa Deally:

just like, Wait,

Melissa Deally:

there's something there. I thought I checked, but something

Melissa Deally:

has was in my blind spot. And I caught it, you know that

Melissa Deally:

intuition tells you to do that double check, right? It's the

Melissa Deally:

same thing. So fast forward to when I was 13. My father passed

Melissa Deally:

away suddenly after surgery, and then blood clots in the

Melissa Deally:

hospital. And yes, it was a shock. And yes, we were

Melissa Deally:

grieving. But I think I started tapping into my intuition, then,

Melissa Deally:

because somehow I knew he was still with me. I couldn't see

Melissa Deally:

his physical form anymore. But I felt like he was with me as if

Melissa Deally:

perched on my shoulder. And whenever I had a difficult

Melissa Deally:

decision to make, I could consult with him and get an

Melissa Deally:

answer. Is this intuition? Is this my spirituality? Is it a

Melissa Deally:

blending of the two? I'm not sure. But I know that my

Melissa Deally:

conscious mind wasn't involved in the answers that I was

Melissa Deally:

receiving. So I know, this helped me make some tough

Melissa Deally:

decisions over the years and feel confident in the choices

Melissa Deally:

I'd made, or rather was guided to making. So what about you is

Melissa Deally:

your intuition something you turn to often for guidance, or

Melissa Deally:

something that guides you to safety or the safety of loved

Melissa Deally:

ones, like my mom's did, or something you haven't really

Melissa Deally:

tapped into yet? Intuition can absolutely guide us with our

Melissa Deally:

health as well. And in rewriting my bio, recently, as I went

Melissa Deally:

through the process, I was reminded of a story where I use

Melissa Deally:

my intuition, when it came to my own health. This time, my

Melissa Deally:

intuition told me not to panic, but instead get a second

Melissa Deally:

opinion. And with the knowledge I have today, I'm very glad I

Melissa Deally:

did, because when we panic, we set off our sympathetic nervous

Melissa Deally:

system, our fight or flight system, and this shuts down

Melissa Deally:

other systems in our body in order to give us the energy

Melissa Deally:

needed to fight or flee. And one of the other systems that shuts

Melissa Deally:

down is our immune system, not something you want to have shut

Melissa Deally:

down when dealing with a diagnosis of melanoma. Melanoma

Melissa Deally:

was what had landed my dad in hospital for surgery. In my

Melissa Deally:

case, when I was given the diagnosis, the doctor was

Melissa Deally:

panicked. It was a Thursday, she wanted me to book in for surgery

Melissa Deally:

on Monday morning, she was going to do the surgery herself at our

Melissa Deally:

local clinic. I was supposed to go on a business trip on the

Melissa Deally:

Saturday and she told me Nope, there was no way I could do that

Melissa Deally:

I had to cancel, I must have this surgery immediately. That's

Melissa Deally:

just what I had to do. But in my gut, I felt this was wrong, that

Melissa Deally:

I needed some time to assess my options, and not take months and

Melissa Deally:

months to do so. But, you know, take a week to just assess my

Melissa Deally:

options. And I felt that while I was on my business trip, I

Melissa Deally:

couldn't be doing that. And it felt right to not cancel that

Melissa Deally:

business trip. And so I thought, well, I should get a second

Melissa Deally:

opinion on all of this. And this is what felt right in my gut.

Melissa Deally:

And so I didn't book that surgery. And even the people in

Melissa Deally:

the clinic at the front desk, were telling me no, you're

Melissa Deally:

wrong. You have to do this. You've got we've got to get you

Melissa Deally:

booked in it's very, very urgent. So I was feeling very

Melissa Deally:

pressured. But I listened to my gut. And I came home. And what I

Melissa Deally:

did is I called the doctor, this skin cancer specialist who was

Melissa Deally:

the one who had actually taken the biopsy of the mole that had

Melissa Deally:

now come back as melanoma. And he called me back later that

Melissa Deally:

evening, and I was able to ask him if he felt I needed to

Melissa Deally:

immediately have surgery on Monday morning, or would it be

Melissa Deally:

okay if I go on my business trip, and have surgery when I'm

Melissa Deally:

back. And he replied, was something I hadn't even thought

Melissa Deally:

of. He said, This will be a very large incision to ensure we get

Melissa Deally:

it all it needs to be done by a plastic surgeon, not your family

Melissa Deally:

doctor, I will submit a referral for you. So and you will be

Melissa Deally:

close to the top of the list because we do take melanoma

Melissa Deally:

seriously. And we do want to get it out that more out of you very

Melissa Deally:

quickly. But it's not going to happen for a couple of weeks. So

Melissa Deally:

go on your business trip, we'll get your surgery day booked, and

Melissa Deally:

you'll have the surgery once you're back. And so my intuition

Melissa Deally:

had told me that option one of immediate surgery by my family

Melissa Deally:

doctor wasn't the right path. And that made me seek out a

Melissa Deally:

second opinion, which gave me an option that simply made much

Melissa Deally:

more sense to me and allowed me to stay out of panic mode and

Melissa Deally:

not weakened my immune system. And the great news is that the

Melissa Deally:

melanoma was fully excised, and it's been nine years and I've

Melissa Deally:

embarked on a path of health, health and wellness ever since.

Melissa Deally:

Including detoxing which how Oops, ensure that I haven't had

Melissa Deally:

any further health problems since that time when I teach my

Melissa Deally:

health, kickstart, and detox program to others, because as

Melissa Deally:

humans, when we find something that works and is highly

Melissa Deally:

effective, we want to share it with others, right. So that

Melissa Deally:

wasn't the immediate start of my health journey. But over, you

Melissa Deally:

know, the next few years, I was definitely guided into this. But

Melissa Deally:

I did start detoxing

Melissa Deally:

after my melanoma because I really wanted to ensure that

Melissa Deally:

cancer wasn't coming back. And so now when I teach my health,

Melissa Deally:

kickstart, and detox program, one of the greatest benefits my

Melissa Deally:

students talk about is the new awareness they have around how

Melissa Deally:

their body feels in relation to the food they're putting into

Melissa Deally:

their body, their sleep, their exercise, as they learn how to

Melissa Deally:

tune into their body. And in this process, they are tapping

Melissa Deally:

into their intuition to working as one with their body instead

Melissa Deally:

of just being in their conscious mind and ignoring symptoms and

Melissa Deally:

intuition that can come with those symptoms, suggesting you

Melissa Deally:

should take action steps to reverse the imbalances causing

Melissa Deally:

those symptoms, right? How often do we ignore symptoms, which

Melissa Deally:

again, is another way of our body talking to us. And we

Melissa Deally:

simply ignore them because we're in that gogogo, rush, rush,

Melissa Deally:

rush, rush mode, and we're not tapping in and listening to our

Melissa Deally:

body. So as you can see, I've learned to listen to my

Melissa Deally:

intuition. And as I said, I'm no expert. So it's still definitely

Melissa Deally:

a work in progress. But this is such powerful information that

Melissa Deally:

you can learn from your body, when you allow yourself to be

Melissa Deally:

guided by your intuition, even the signal of being full, so

Melissa Deally:

that you aren't over eating, even if your plate is an empty

Melissa Deally:

can be considered intuition. It is the result of hormones

Melissa Deally:

sending the signal. But when you understand the message without

Melissa Deally:

any conscious thought, it is also intuition, right? If we

Melissa Deally:

wolf our entire meal down, because we're really hungry, our

Melissa Deally:

body doesn't have time to release our satiety hormone and

Melissa Deally:

give that signal. And if we're rushing through, we're not

Melissa Deally:

listening for it anyway, right? When we slow down and we give

Melissa Deally:

our body a chance, our body will talk to us, and you can then

Melissa Deally:

take the appropriate action. So I did learn something a few

Melissa Deally:

years ago, because remember, I said that I was afraid of my

Melissa Deally:

intuition more, I was afraid of my mom's intuition. And she's

Melissa Deally:

highly intuitive. And it just frightened me, how does she know

Melissa Deally:

all this stuff. But I learned that you can also ask that your

Melissa Deally:

intuition be sharing with you what you need to know, and not

Melissa Deally:

sharing with you, you know, the negative or the scary things,

Melissa Deally:

right. And so that's how I felt safe to start tapping into my

Melissa Deally:

intuition and using it, which is what I've been, you know,

Melissa Deally:

developing that myself, because as I said, it's a muscle, you

Melissa Deally:

have to strengthen it. So I am literally just touching the

Melissa Deally:

surface here on the topic of intuition as I share my stories.

Melissa Deally:

And I hope that you relate to one of the stories or it sparked

Melissa Deally:

an interest maybe in working with your own intuition at a

Melissa Deally:

deeper level. So that you can be more guided in whatever it is

Melissa Deally:

that you're doing, instead of just, you know, trying to figure

Melissa Deally:

it all out on your own and pushing through in your

Melissa Deally:

conscious mind. When we're guided, we know that we're

Melissa Deally:

actually on the right path, right. And so please join me

Melissa Deally:

again next week when I have Cheryl Brewster on the show. And

Melissa Deally:

we'll be diving in and talking about the ABCs of intuition. And

Melissa Deally:

she is a real expert in this topic, her business is called

Melissa Deally:

the intuitive life. So until then, have a great week, start

Melissa Deally:

thinking about your intuition getting you know, dipping your

Melissa Deally:

toe in coming back to your intuition if it's something that

Melissa Deally:

maybe you worked with before, and you've kind of moved away

Melissa Deally:

from I know when I was in the corporate world for many years.

Melissa Deally:

It wasn't something that we ever talked about thought about. And

Melissa Deally:

I felt like it was kind of pushed out of me. And ever since

Melissa Deally:

getting out of the corporate world is when I've been coming

Melissa Deally:

back to that intuition and using it and maybe you relate to that

Melissa Deally:

as well. It's something you've used before. Let go of and now

Melissa Deally:

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?
