Join me as I have an interesting conversation with Steph who is an emotional release therapist. She works with trapped emotions, limiting beliefs, stored trauma and all the things that we suppress and store in the body. Steph helps to release these emotions.
We talk about emotional release therapy and how a session works. As well as:
- Talk therapy, hypnotherapy, body testing, energy work
- Find your limiting beliefs and what emotions are holding you back
- It's so important to feel our emotions
- Subconscious mind + conscious mind
- Deep beliefs of who we are and why we do what we do - sometimes when we don't even know ourselves
- How important the first 7 years of our lives are and how it relates to our life now as an adult
- Meditation + Breath-work
- Think from our heart space not our brain space
- Everything is from within
- We can only hold an emotion in its full capacity for only 45 seconds
- Choosing yourself

In this episode we chat about my experience and my journey to compete in my first two body building competitions at 35yo. I jumped on stage in August 2015 and October 2015 in the NABBA Physique Novice Class in Auckland,NZ.

We chat about what I did to get to the stage, my mindset, what it was like the day of the competition, and what to look out for when you see 'those' photos on your social media feed.

We also talk about:
- llegal substances
- body image
- prep for competition
- life after a competition
- mental health
- having a good support team around you is everything in this sport

I hope you enjoy this episode.
Much Love,

In this episode I chat with Dr Emily Parke all about Functional Medicine.
Dr. Emily Parke, D.O., is a certified functional medicine doctor, board-certified in anesthesiology & pediatric anesthesiology and trained in medical acupuncture. She’s an experienced speaker in the medical and functional medicine community.

Dr. Emily Parke has supported thousands of patients on their journeys to becoming healthy, happy and symptom-free from her experience in both traditional and functional medicine for a well-rounded approach with their health.
Her credentials:

• D.O. from Rowan University
• Anesthesiology residency | Cleveland Clinic, Chief Resident
• Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship | Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Chief Fellow
• Diplomat of the Board of Anesthesiology | Board Certified in Adult and Pediatric Anesthesiology
• Medical Acupuncture | Helm’s Medical Institute
• Institute for Functional Medicine | Certified Practitioner
• Kresser Institute for Functional and Evolutionary Medicine/ ADAPT Trained

In 2015 she opened Arizona Wellness Medicine where she is the founder and owner of this practice.

Functional medicine addresses the whole person, instead of a set of symptoms, by shifting the focus from disease-centric treatment to a multi-dimensional understanding of how the full spectrum of a person’s life impacts their overall wellness.
The need for functional medicine:
Increases in chronic disease demonstrate that our society is dealing with a health crisis. Traditional medicine emphasizes acute treatment for issues that have already risen, whereas functional medicine emphasizes finding and treating the causes of symptoms and disease using the following science-based strategies:

• Nutrition
• Exercise & movement
• Sleep
• Advanced laboratory testing
• Stress management
• Toxin reduction

Through this full-spectrum approach to each person’s total wellbeing, functional medicine offers a comprehensive solution to not only ease chronic conditions but prevent them entirely.
