Jenny Ryce shares her story of waking up with panic attacks, a racing heart, leading to her finally listening to her body and realizing something was wrong. A doctor made her admit to her stress, which got her out of denial, and finally taking action to create habits that allowed her to heal and shift into a place of true wellness and a life of joy. She isn’t perfect, she still has stress in her life, but she also has the awareness to recognize when it’s getting out of control and the tools to bring herself out of that stress state.

Today I discuss why eating in a stressed state causes weight gain, and provide a simple trick to turn on your digestive system, even when you are feeling stressed out. I also explain how high cortisol levels are negatively impacting our sleep and then when we don’t sleep well, we are less stress-resilient and again have high cortisol levels, as well as when we don’t sleep well, our brain looks for energy and so we reach for food, which further adds to the weight gain. This is a very common scenario that I see in my clients all the time and it shows up on their lab tests, even if they don’t feel stressed, BUT they don’t know why they have gained weight. So tune in to learn more about the relationship between stress and weight gain and what you can do about it.Click here if you’d like to know more about the lab tests I offer – the labs are mailed to your home, so you can be anywhere in the English speaking world for me to work with you and read your labs: https://yourguidedhealthjourney.com/lab-test-info Discover Your Toxic Load Quiz: https://welcome.yourguidedhealthjourney.com/yourtoxicloadLink to my next Health Kickstart + Detox group programhttps://welcome.yourguidedhealthjourney.com/2021-Health-KickstartAbout the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner helping people get to the root cause of their health issues.

In this episode, I invite Mandy Gefle to tell her story, as she moved from being a nurse in a rural setting under high stress, into a state of burnout and then gave birth to her first son and suffered “postpartum depletion” as she calls it.  A tough decision on her healing journey led her away from mainstream medicine, which was all that she knew, and into the world of holistic health, and using food to help her body heal and that of her son as well.  Ultimately she left her job in mainstream medicine as it no longer aligned with her values to mask symptoms rather than teach people how to truly heal.   Mandy shares her road to recovery and how she now helps others get healthy meals on the table without spending all day in the kitchen because food truly is the best form of medicine!  Mandy has also offered listeners the opportunity to connect with her to discover the best way she can guide them to providing nutritious meals to your family. About the Guest: Mandy Gefle, BScN, RN, Licensed Holistic Nutrition PractitionerMandy Gefle, owner of Pura Vida Nutrition, specializes in helping clients who struggle with low energy, and exhaustion related to chronic stress. Associated symptoms have a major impact on individuals; both personally, and professionally. Mandy realized her passion for prevention after recovering naturally from postpartum depression, without the use of pharmaceutical intervention. Drawing from her experience as a registered nurse in acute care, and her subsequent education as a holistic nutrition practitioner, she has found success in her business by focusing on the benefits of high-quality whole food, appropriate sleep, and effective stress management. She takes a holistic approach and integrates easy-to-follow strategies to promote a balanced lifestyle for individuals who feel they have nowhere else to turn.In addition to working as a registered nurse and entrepreneur; Mandy is a mom of two boys, the best-selling co-author of Heal, and an educator through the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Edmonton.Links:Calendar: https://calendly.com/mandygefleWebsite: https://www.puravidainspires.com/pura-vida-nutrition-holistic-nutrition-coach-mandy-gefle1587334787405Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mandy_pura_vida/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/momnurseceo About the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner helping people get to the root cause of their health issues. Melissa neither diagnoses nor cures but helps bring your body back into balance by helping discover your “toxic load” and then removing the toxins.

We all know we need to eat food for energy – BUT our struggle comes in determines what is the RIGHT way to eat for our body. Just like we eat differently at various stages of our lives, we all need to eat differently from one another, and figuring out the best way to eat for our unique body can be difficult, and is perhaps not a concept you’ve heard about before. Tune into this episode to learn why we all need to eat differently, and why I encourage you to say away from following one diet plan popularized by media over another and instead find the right way to eat for your unique body in order to thrive and bring your body into balance, at which point it won’t hold onto excess weight. Learn more about my lab tests here: https://yourguidedhealthjourney.com/lab-test-info Book a complimentary 30 minute call to discuss lab test options here: https://YGHJappointments.as.me/?appointmentType=16156436 Register for the Blissful Parenting Boot Camp at https://www.blissfulparentingbootcamp.com/ About the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner helping people get to the root cause of their health issues. Melissa neither diagnoses nor cures but helps bring your body back into balance by helping discover your “toxic load” and then removing the toxins.

You might wonder how a typo can lead to having half your thyroid removed unnecessarily….you’ll have to tune in to hear Lisa Wilson’s story, which is almost unbelievable except that it really happened to her. Then we discuss her long recovery, navigating mainstream medicine, and finding her way to Naturopathy and intuitive healing resources in order to really advance her healing. It’s been 7 years, and Lisa is still healing, but has come so far, and is doing much better thankfully.&nbsp;&nbsp;When our body is out of balance it sends us messages to get us to change something, so we can come back into balance, but that is so much harder to do when you’ve had ½ your thyroid surgically removed, and yet, it can still be done with the support of holistic health practitioners.&nbsp;About the Guest: In 2014 after the blessing of a layoff allowed her to start her own business&nbsp;she had a surgery (by mistake) that left her feeling an exhaustion best explained by calling it "Cellular tired". It's a tired feeling that is right in your core, your body won't move, and your brain can't focus. Making it very difficult to stay in a good mental state. Lisa has shared her story in several books, and while it's not the focus of her business it does inform everything she does. Still not fully back to her "old" self Lisa has made many improvements in her health by seeking alternative health solutions.&nbsp; Lisa Wilson has taken her success as a Human Resources leader in large corporations and is bringing this same opportunity to small to medium-sized companies. Offering training and coaching before and during those particularly sticky situations. Lisa is a Leadership/Corporate Coach, Certified Human Resources Leader, and a trained Mediator. With an HR career spanning 15 years, her drive had her in a manager’s role 5 years into her career. She is an active volunteer with Toastmasters and the Human Resources professionals Association. She is no stranger to leading and loves sharing her knowledge and experience with her clients.&nbsp;&nbsp;People can reach me through my website.&nbsp;www.lmwconsultation.ca&nbsp;or social media&nbsp;@lmwconsultation.&nbsp;&nbsp;About the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner helping people get to the root cause of their health issues.&nbsp;Melissa neither diagnoses nor cures but helps bring your body back into balance by helping discover your “toxic load” and then removing the toxins.
