Highlights
05:20

So it started slowly, organically. We put out a show a week and we just kinda kept going and we did a couple shows ourselves, we interviewed some guests, we started to kind of get a feel for what our audience was looking for. It took us about 50 episodes to get our first sponsor and then slowly we started to realize this is becoming a business.
06:14

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and the way I was eating and living wasn't conducive to my wellbeing anymore and I drastically changed everything. I went from being vegetarian to eating more of a Paleo and animal based diet, of course with lots of good fats and lots of veggies still, but I, I really turn things around so I could no longer teach that in my cooking classes.

08:21

For me it was just this organic unraveling of love and wanting to learn everything I could about food and teaching. So it's, it's kind of funny that, you know, seven years or whatever it was into my career teaching and educating about health, I had this little wake up call that was showing me that the path I was on wasn't necessarily the right one for me at the time.

15:31

But it took about, I'd say six months to a year before Jesse, my husband and I decided to work with a functional medicine team to go a bit deeper, to get some gut testing done, to go on different protocols to find out what's at the root cause, what's going on in my body, in my blood, in my urine with my hormones, all that stuff to see what's at the core of this or where can we start to clean up shop from the inside out.

21:44

Everyone can eat more vegetables. And it always starts there. And I know it always sounds Cliche, you know, I feel like nutrition 10 years ago saying, eat your veggies. But it's so foundational because so many people can raise their hands in a room and say they are not even having a serving a day.
27:16

Whether it's just raw veggies cut up or whether it's a couple of soups done or a dip or a couple of prepared meats or proteins that are ready to go. You don't have to put everything together. You can just have different components and then every night of the week you can even build each one. It's just something different.

Highlights
01:46
I try to drink it out of me. I tried to fight it out in me. I tried to run from make, ignore it. I tried to do all the thing is I I could do to get rid of it. Um, and then the last 10 years I've changed my perspective of it and I got to the root of the matter.
04:40
It became, I became the anxiety. It was interesting for me and most people do this a lot. As I became the one thing I hated, right. I the anxiety, but my whole identity was caught up in the anxiety.
07:55
And what I found, um, in that journey was everybody wanted to show me how to treat the anxiety for me. It was only maintaining it, right? That was only, I was only treating the symptoms. I was only treating the manifestations.
09:38
That's when things really start to get real. And you know, to be honest with you, I didn't want to forgive the people in my life, right? I didn't want to eat.
11:21
You just deal with it and look at it differently. And as you do that, you know, start to heal, right?
14:59
Yes. And that's what she did for me. She allowed me and gave me tools and techniques that I needed not only to be sit within the moment, right. Cause I was still having panic attacks and I was still having those manifestations even more because I started digging up this stuff. Right?

In this exciting episode, we are talking with Alison Ashley.We are talking about the importance of self care and forgiveness is with our health and wellness.
Highlights
00:00
Like we're always, we always talk about all we have to forgive others. So I'm really excited to talk about self forgiveness and I'm super intrigued about what that means from a perspective of creating a forgiveness journal.
02:36
So, but the frigging forgiveness is huge and it's such a stress reliever and just like sometimes it's, you know, you're thinking that you're forgiving and you have to go deeper, deeper, deeper. There's deeper levels. There's not just one level of forgiveness.
06:30
And then finally they come to it themselves. And that's the best is, is that you're not giving the advice. You're letting them get it themselves. So that's the best.
10:17
You know, the forgiveness part, it gives you more power, just individual power and it just gives you that extra energy where you could use it in a forceful way instead of in a negative way. Um, and forgiveness is just so deep rooted that it leads into a lot of different things.
15:44
The weight thing is the hardest thing to lose because everybody's doing the diet, everybody's doing it the right way and they're just like, I can't lose this weight. What is going on?
16:36
... it's complicated part of the whole thing that's happening. So mind, body emotions on how it all works. Emotions are a big part that we haven't quite figured it out. Yeah. So like that. So how do you guide people through self forgiveness?
23:08
It's really about free writing, free letting things go. What are some questions you could ask themselves that would like if they're feeling stuck around how to do it, what are some questions that might help them get that writing process going?

It's changed my life this last, this last 13 months has changed my life for myself as a father, as a husband, as a friend. It's certainly changed my waistline's sides and the type of jeans that I can wear.
05:43
It sounds like it was your mindset that's really allowing you to fully become yourself, but also it's that mindset that's helping you change your health habits.
07:57
Oh, that's beautiful. Like, I talk about this a lot, this idea of leaning into the pain and really the human work that we have to do in order to make a lifestyle change. Like those emotions, those feelings, those wounds of the past, whatever it is, those beliefs and perceptions that we grew up with, all of those, like it's in our mind.
15:12
I remember scarlet and grace and looking at each other going, oh, daddy can run now. That was a moment that I will not forget because it was massively important to me to be able to play with my kids...
25:15
I think it's natural for you to feel frustrated when you reach a point of Plateau because, you sort of have to begin to find your value in your ability to lose weight and to transform.
30:07
I think it's available for anyone and everyone, you know, to have to have their own tribe.

Hi, I'm Christa King and I've cracked the code to making healthy habits stick by learning how to rewire my mind through my recovery is a burned out corporate exec to becoming a certified hypnotherapist and nutritional therapist.
02:20
I was 50 pounds overweight, drinking a bottle or two of wine every night, working 70 hours a week, traveling three to four weeks out of the month, all while my mother was suffering from severe mental illness 3000 miles away.
06:37
Once I unlock the secret, I started with myself losing and now maintaining 30 pounds of weight, but weight loss aside, it was my mind that had change. Weight loss was a byproduct.
12:18
I asked myself, how do I share the stories of people who have made massive changes in their lives by merely stepping out of their day to day for a few days?
14:49
Doesn't matter if you failed before, what your struggles have been, how chaotic things are right now. If you can step out of your life for a few days, you can experience a transformation and I invite you to do that now.

about six months ago left Portland and moved down to Sonoma County, California for a job opportunity to kind of step up what I'm doing in the rehab world going from part-time as a physical therapist to the director of Rehab at a clinic that focuses on kind of acute care, geriatrics.
05:07
How, you know, problems aren't usually formed in isolation or solved in isolation. So, it takes people with different perspectives coming together to, to, to either solve problems or even to figure out what the problem is.
08:13
And over the course of the last six years, I can't believe it's been six years almost since I went on that retreat. I've really started to not only embody the power of, you know, what that five days away did for my entire life.
13:25
You know, I talk all the time about the four cornerstones of fitness, these principles, if you will, of what it takes to truly make a lifestyle change, to get off that Yoyo dieting cycle, to actually change the neuro pathways in your brain.
16:00
Well, there's a quote I love and it's really simple. It's happiness is reality minus expectations. So how can you enjoy where you are and what you're doing? And I think part of that is, you know, no one's ever going to be able to stop thinking about the future and thinking about the past.
