In this episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast, Kelley welcomes Dr. Stephen Cabral, an experienced naturopath, Ayurvedic, and functional medicine practitioner. Stephen Cabral developed his passion for health & wellness after going through severe health complications at the age of 17. He saw over 50 different doctors, tried over 100 different treatment protocols, but still saw no hope of recovery. It wasn’t until he met an “alternative” health doctor who explained to him how he got here and how he could become well again, that he began his recovery process. It was at this young age that he knew his life would be dedicated to helping others rebalance their bodies and renew their health. Dr. Cabral is the founder, creator and teacher of the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute. He is extremely passionate about sharing his wisdom and knowledge with the world so that he can help people to heal at a root cause level.
Today Kelley and Dr. Cabral discusse the impact of stress on disease and emphasizes its role as the number one causal factor. He introduces the "distress protocol" which includes diet, exercise, stress reduction, toxin removal, rest, emotional balance, science-backed supplements, and a success mindset. Dr. Cabral explains how genetics and the environment contribute to disease, but it is the triggering event of stress that leads to diagnosis. Together they break down how stress can impact the thyroid and other hormones, understanding different methods of testing and why getting to the root cause is so important for healing, and together they review Kelley's results of her lab testing. Tune in for a wealth of knowledge on cultivating a harmonious and healthful lifestyle.

Reclaiming Parenthood: Navigating Infant Sleep without Sleep Training with Holistic Sleep + Parenting Educator Taylor Kulik
In this week's episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast, Kelley welcomes Taylor Kulik, an advocate for families who choose not to sleep train their infants. Taylor is an occupational therapist turned holistic sleep consultant with a passion for non-toxic living, homeschooling, and snuggling babies all night. Years ago, Taylor was struggling with trusting what she knew was best for her children, and was consumed by fear-based parenting. This experience led to her passion for sharing her experiences and education with other parents who are going through the same journey to help lead them from fear to freedom.
Today, Kelley and Taylor discuss the concept of self-soothing and how babies are not capable of self-regulation. Instead, babies are meant to co-regulate and borrow calm from a calm caregiver. They discuss how certain types of sleep training can raise cortisol levels in infants, insights on infant sleep and how to bed share safely, how co-sleeping benefits mental health for both parents and children, how to transition children into their own beds, and the most common reasons beyond children that adults aren't sleeping well or deal with insomnia. To learn more about co-sleeping and improving sleep for both baby and parents, tune into this episode!
