Lauren Schultheis of WellWay in Plymouth MN joins us today to discuss integrative nutrition.

She gives us tips on health and wellness from a holistic point of view - reminding us how our entire body is connected and her approach to helping clients involves taking a look at the entire body as one system rather than treating the body as separate systems.

Lauren is a Registered Dietitian and the director of health services at her clinic and company called WellWay - a wellness center in Plymouth, Minnesota.

We discuss how her career came together, starting at Lifetime Fitness, then eventually transitioning to opening her own business with her husband and business partners and how they have expanded this to multiple different states with over 200 employees.

I loved our conversation today because she gives really practical tips on how to be confident in the workplace, brave and bold as an entrepreneur, and balancing all of this while being a mom.

Listen in to hear how her own health journey really shaped the future of her career path.

This episode is great for women who are navigating the career world and want to find ways to weave in their passion for health as well.

Today we have Dr. Cassie Wilder with us - the owner of Minneapolis Integrative Medicine Center & a Naturopathic Doctor of Medicine!

We are kicking off my health series where I am interviewing women in the health care space - but more so in the wellness and Eastern Medicine space.

If you know me, you know that I am a mostly crunchy gal who seeks holistic health options in every way. I have deliberately found ways to be healthy using a more Eastern Medicine approach vs. an Allopathic Medicine approach and it has worked very well for me. That does not mean I don't respect Western Medicine methods, I just think there are more holistic routes available.

Dr. Cassie Wilder offers Naturopathic Medicine at her clinic in the Western Twin Cities area of MN. She focuses on finding the ROOT CAUSE instead of just putting a band-aid on one issue.

I loved this discussion because she shares what her clinic offers, how she chose this route of medicine, and why this can be a great career for women.

She also shares with us some "Crunchy" things we should be considering in our lifestyle.

"Her passion is empowering her patients through education, understanding, and support through their healing journey." This truly comes thru in this episode.

Kenzie is a Dental Assistant in Charlotte North Carolina who shares who went through a 12 week dental assistant program.

During her time in college, she was very intentional on taking a variety of classes and exploring different routes and options to understand and see what would be a good fit for her professionally.

Her career started after completing a fulfilling mission with her church as a nurse licensure specialist for a company that helped nurses get their license here in the United States. This showed her that she was able to make a difference in someone's life & she wanted to make sure her career was meaningful and impactful for the clients and customers she worked with.

This lead her to the dental industry as a dental assistant. In this episode, Kenzie shares the difference between a dental assistant and a dental hygienist because I was not sure!

For her, the dental industry is a perfect combination of a desk job and the medical space.

She loves that being a dental assistant allows a space for her to be a mom and raise a family with the job hours and days that is typical for this industry. This career is very family friendly and conducive for having kids. It can be 8 hour days, or 10 hour days, and 12 hour days.

A typical career path for a dental assistant could be to pursue becoming a hygienist, a dentist, or even a medical device sales rep in the dental industry which is very common.

I had to make sure I asked the question on everyone's mind: "IS IT GROSS TO WORK WITH RANDOM PEOPLE'S MOUTHS?!"

She let us know her thoughts !

Kenzie also shares with us her couponing tricks and tips!!
