Don't Wait For Your Wake Up Call!

As an Integrative Health Practitioner I have come to realize that we simply haven't been taught how to optimize our health, and that the average person has habits that are negatively impacting their health, due to this lack of knowledge, through no fault of their own. Public health and our school system simply don't teach us enough about nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health or how interconnected our bodies are! Modern life has us more sleep deprived, stressed out and the sickest ever, and I believe it is time to bring this education to you, so that you CAN be empowered in your health and you can then make the right choices for you and your family. The choices you make today impact your future 1 year, 5 years, 10 years + from now. It is never too early to start looking after your health, as Health is your TRUE wealth....without it what do you have?

episode 14: E014: A Difficult Decision has Nurse Turn to Holistic Health to Find True Healing for Herself and Her Infant Son


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.
