In this episode, I discuss a different kind of movement. Hint: it involves your bowels
I can’t tell you the number of people I see in practice who think having multiple loose and messy stools per day or going to the bathroom once a week is absolutely normal. It is not normal, in fact, it is unhealthy and a message that there are imbalances in your body.
Listen in, to learn what healthy elimination looks like, the multiple reasons why your bowel function is abnormally functioning and some of the naturopathic approaches (including the most often over-looked factor) to resolve this issue.

You will learn how to ease the transition into menopause/andropause, maintain lean body mass, prevent osteoporosis, support your nervous system and adrenal gland health all while building confidence and strength.

Like anything in life, too much of a good thing can turn into a problem.
In this episode, I share the consequences of my addiction to exercise as it became my only way to manage my anxiety and depression. I offer what I have learned over the years and the limits that having only one remedy to manage difficult wounds, trauma and emotions has.
I discuss in detail the five flaws associated with over-exercise:
-Missed opportunities
-Further aggravation
-Disconnection with self
-Injury, illness and exhaustion
-Loss of joy and pleasure
And I provide fresh insight, awareness and ideas surrounding a healed relationship with movement.

If we know this then why don’t we access it as part of our self-care routine especially when we are feeling blue?
Of course, we don’t! Because we are tired and down and going to the gym or out for a run is the last thing we want to do.Hence this vicious cycle, of needing to move our body but not being able to jump over these feelings (both mental and physical) to get the job done. We choose the donut instead of the yoga class that gives us short term relief but ultimately just perpetuates the negative state.
In this episode, I dive deep into the real reasons why we can’t access movement at the times we need it most as well as share with you the two key components required to shift this behaviour.
I offer a practical and impactful strategy that will have you reaching for your shoes and getting your body moving as a way to provide ongoing support for your body and mind.
Goodbye, mindless distraction!
Hello, intentional movement!

In this episode, I share my story about what used to motivate me to exercise and how my relationship with movement has dramatically shifted since challenging unhealthy belief systems.
I ask you to take a moment to ask yourself why do you move? What brings you joy and what excites you about exercise?
I challenge you to let go of the “shoulds” and underlying negative thoughts so that you can set your intentions for movement based on your heart’s desire. I ask you to choose to exercise from a place of worthiness and full acceptance so that you can fully experience the joy and self-care that comes from movement.
I offer the true gift of movement with its mental/emotional and physical benefits that is only available to us when it is received from a place of self acceptance.
