    Why Digestion is the Key to Achieving Optimal Health

    Why Digestion is the Key to Achieving Optimal Health

    This week we have a masterclass on digestion in our Foundations Series.
    The digestive system plays a major role in your overall health as it brings nutrients to your body. Without good digestive health, you will experience a host of uncomfortable symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, indigestion, and more. Additionally, you may also get a lack of proper nutrition from the food you eat, which can negatively impact your health and wellbeing. This is why digestive health is so important.
    So, how do you keep your digestive system healthy? Listen to find out!

    Lymphatic Massage for Health & Detox with Dayna Marsh

    Lymphatic Massage for Health & Detox with Dayna Marsh

    Show your lymph some love! Dayna Marsh joins the show today to talk about the benefits of lymphatic massage. Dayna is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and owner of Body Therapy Salt Lake, in Salt Lake City, UT. She offers in person massage therapy sessions and in person or virtual nutritional therapy services.
    Lymph, is like blood in that they both are liquids circulating in the body. Unlike red blood’s circular, pumped by the heart movement, lymph moves just one way: out. However, lymph has no organ pump so it’s up to individuals to help move it along.
    Lymph is the body’s liquid trash can. It picks up waste products formed from all the chemical reactions needed to keep people alive, ushering them out of the body. 
    Besides the congested head, puffy eyes, and swollen ankles that signal lymphatic dysfunction, there are more signs and symptoms of lymph blockages that may not be as obvious as fluid buildup. However, they can be severe lymph-related issues just the same. These signs include: 
    Bloated stomach or extremities Brain fog Cellulite Chronic headaches  Chronic sinus infections  Constipation Eczema  Excessive sweating Mucus and phlegm production Painful and hard swellings (especially in armpits, groin area, and neck) Sluggishness Stiff or painful joints Key takeaway from this episode: If you have one or more of these signs of lymphatic blockage, you can’t eliminate toxins, and you’d benefit from supporting your lymphatic system with massage and a variety of other techniques.

    How to Overcome Anxiety According to a Holistic Psychiatrist

    How to Overcome Anxiety According to a Holistic Psychiatrist

    “We are suffering unnecessarily because our physical bodies are out of balance.” Dr. Vora
    Our guest this week is Dr. Ellen Vora, a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher, and she is the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root. Dr. Vora received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University.
    It’s normal to occasionally experience anxiety, such as when we’re faced with a high-stakes meeting, a stressed-out boss, or a conflict with a colleague. But according to the National Institute of Mental Health, in any given year, 19% of U.S. adults are suffering from an anxiety disorder, and 31% will deal with a disorder at least once in their lifetime.  
    Dr. Vora explains false anxiety – avoidable anxiety, causes real suffering but can have a straight forward, physical basis. When anxious, we tend to get trapped in false or limited ways of thinking – not that the feelings we are experiencing aren’t real or valid. However, these thought patterns create a debilitating negative spiral that can take over our lives by convincing us of impending doom and further exacerbating our sense of helplessness. Dr. Vora shares her tips to learn how to translate anxious feelings into purposeful action.
