[Bonus Episode] Getting To The Emotional Root Cause With Nadeije Athlan

[Bonus Episode] Getting To The Emotional Root Cause With Nadeije Athlan

Today I’m talking to Nadeije Athlan; Naturopath, Medicine Womxn & creator of Wholistic Biology about getting to the emotional root cause of “dis-ease”.

In this episode we talk about:

• How inner conflicts and traumas can manifest as dis-ease in the body
• How our brain and body are constantly trying to keep us safe, even if that means creating an illness
• The trigger that can sabotage healing and get us back to square one
• How Wholistic Biology is often the last resort for people who have tried everything (diet, lifestyle changes, supplements, medications…)

We also talk about our upcoming 4-week program Self-Heal that teaches a system to get to the emotional root cause of dis-ease and the key to finally unlocking your healing.

Have you ever considered that what is manifesting as rosacea could be the result of past emotional traumas?

This is something I’m currently exploring with an incredible guide: a medicine woman / naturopath / expert in the connection between emotions and how they manifest as “dis-ease” in the body.

When she told me the emotional root cause of rosacea, something in me clicked” and a series of events flashed before my eyes.

In less than 2 sessions, I was able to identify pivotal moments in my life that laid the foundation for rosacea to manifest in my life. And now, for long-lasting healing to take place.

I won’t lie, after 3 years of diving deep into root cause medicine, THIS is the work I’ve been avoiding even though it’s been gently and consistently tapping on the window of my consciousness.

Tap, tap…

Synchronicity led me to this guide and thanks to the transformative space she created, I’m having so many a-ha moments.

I’m hesitant to say what she shared about the emotional root cause of rosacea, instead, I’d like to hear what YOU think it is.

Feel free to share in the comments or ask any questions that could guide you on this truly healing path.

JTG#63 Herbal Medicine For Skin Health With Alicia Hamilton Founder of Wild Bloom Botanicals

Herbal Medicine For Skin Health With Alicia Hamilton Founder of Wild Bloom Botanicals

In this podcast interview, my guest Alicia Hamilton founder of Wild Bloom Botanicals, and I dive into herbal medicine to support skin health as well as how to tune into the spirit of plant allies with the help of our intuition.

About our guest:

Alicia is a certified Holistic Nutritionist and Herbalist who’s passionate about holistic health. Her journey to health started after years of being sick with mystery illnesses that the doctors couldn’t help her with. She struggled with PCOS, adrenal fatigue, extreme deficiencies, brain fog, poor memory, anxiety and depression. For years she thought that she was going to live her entire life feeling unwell because she was just ‘unlucky’ and living in a faulty body but then discovered yoga and herbal medicine.
After years of experimenting with diet, herbs, and supplements, she diminished all of her symptoms and finally felt amazing in her body. Alicia decided to go to school for holistic nutrition and herbalism so that she could make it her life’s work to help others heal the same way she did.
Since then, her brand of Wild Bloom Botanicals has been growing and she now ships health products all over the world and teaches as much as she can about diet and natural wellness.

What we cover in the interview:

• The mistakes people make when following the Medical Medium advice

• Underlying cause of brain fog

• How to improve your digestive system

• Symptoms of low stomach acid

• Do digestive enzymes work?

• Understanding the role of stress and its impact on our skin

• The concept of Shen in Chinese Medicine and how it affects our inner radiance

• The difference between tinctures and supplements

• Choosing between alcohol-based or glycerin-based tinctures

• How to shift into a more loving, compassionate state of mind

• Why self-acceptance does not mean giving up

• How to talk to and get messages from plant allies

JTG #46 MRT (Mediator Release Test) For Food Sensitivities with Megan Pennington

MRT (Mediator Release Test) For Food Sensitivities with Megan Pennington

In this episode, we’re talking Megan Pennington about MRT testing (Mediator Release Test) and how food testing to pinpoint food sensitivities can help you get the root cause of a skin issue.

Before diving into my conversation with Megan, I talk about the importance of working with pure essential oils and how to decipher high quality oils from adulterated oil you’ll currently find flooding the market. This was brought on because I came across an essential oil company that is selling a wide array of essential oils all at the impossibly low price of $10 to $20, including precious oils such as Frankincense and Blue Tansy. So I thought it was necessary to clarify why essential oils cannot be sold all at the same price and why it’s a big huge red flag.

Unfortunately, there are companies that will flat out lie to our face (and lie on their website) and people will fall prey to their marketing, thinking that all essential oils are created equal and why not pay as little as possible!

If you care about quality and want to purchase and use essential oils that are actually effective, you’ll want to research companies properly AND know what to look for so you don’t fall prey to greenwashing.

About our guest:

Megan Pennington is a Food Sensitivity Specialist and Certified Holistic Health Practitioner with a BSc in Dietetics and Human Nutrition. She specializes in immune related conditions and inflammatory disorders. She works with the biophysical, emotional, spiritual, energetic and psychological aspects of the body for a full healing experience.

In this episode, Journey To Glow host Caroline Frenette and Megan Pennington explore:

• How to stay grounded during challenging uncertain times
• Megan takes us through an exercise that connects us to Higher Self & the Cosmos
• How state of mind impacts your health and your skin
• The impact of genetics and epigenetics
• What is MRT testing
• How food sensitivities may be the missing link in your skin healing journey

Holistic nutritionist and wellness entrepreneur Tori Holmes has developed ways to turn the simple act of hydration into a self-care ritual.

As part of a timely conversation on beauty by ways of nutrition and supplements, she created 50 recipes for water-based elixirs that improve vitality, support longevity, and aid our bodies’ natural recovery mechanisms.

JTG #31 The 30-Day Alcohol Experiment With Annie Grace 

Annie Grace is no stranger to success whether it is in business or personal matters.

At 26, Annie was the youngest Vice President in a multinational company and her drinking career began in earnest. At 35, in a global C-level marketing role she was responsible for 28 countries and drinking almost two bottles of wine a night.

Annie didn’t want to live life in a daily battle for sobriety. To live a life avoiding temptation. She didn’t want her entire existence to revolve around alcohol. She wanted to take the power away from alcohol rather than make it a reward she was depriving herself of. She wanted freedom from alcohol and freedom, she found.

Annie Grace authored; “This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness And Change Your Life.” Her book reprograms your unconscious allowing you to break free from alcohol. Countless hours of research went into the writing of the book – it breaks down how alcohol changes us both physically and mentally.

Annie no longer drinks and has never been happier. Since publishing her book, she’s been featured in publications such as Forbes, New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune and Mind Body Green.

Beyond the book, her goal is to reshape society’s views and our alcohol centric culture so that the non-drinker is no longer an exception to the rule.

In this episode, Annie Grace and Journey To Glow host Caroline Frenette explore:

• Why I said “yes!” to the 30-day alcohol-free experiment with Annie Grace
• Annie’s move to New York starting a big corporate job
• Noticing the everyday healthy habits that are innocently replaced with a glass (or 2) of wine
• My (Caroline’s) biggest AH-HAs about drinking
• Did quitting alcohol heal my rosacea?
• Why making a list of pros and cons is helpful to break a habit
• The turning point for me (Caroline) and why I decided to stop drinking
• Why asking the question: “Do I have a problem?” is the wrong question to ask and which one to ask instead
• Removing shame and judgment in our self-examination
• The importance of surrounding ourselves with a community when we want to break a habit
• Getting curious about our drinking instead of getting defensive
