It has been a beautiful, AMAZING, journey creating and sharing the Wirth Wellness podcast with you, and for you. I've grown so much as a result. But, as it goes with Body-Partnership, sometimes, even good things, reach a point where change is needed. Today, I'm sharing what's next for Wirth Wellness, and why I've decided to press "pause" on the podcast, for the time being. I don't know exactly what the road ahead looks like, but I'm responding to the inner-call I feel to explore a new direction with this business. Don't worry though, I'm still here for you, and will be offering 1x1 coaching, as I also work to create new and exciting opportunities for you to grow in friendship with your body, and love living in your own skin.

Are you totally over feeling sick and bloated after every meal? When was the last time you paused to ask, "are my bowel movements" normal? For most of us, this isn't a popular topic, but an important one for your health!

Description: Tired of feeling at war with yourself? Ready to experience a deep sense of inner-harmony? You’ve come to the right place! Today on the show, I’m chatting with Dr. Richard Schwartz, the founder and developer of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapeutic model.
Trained as a family therapist, Dr. Schwartz became curious about why, after rearranging his clients’ external environments, they weren’t experiencing the internal-relief he hoped they would. Digging deeper, he began asking his clients what was keeping them stuck. They spoke of “parts” dialoguing within themselves, who were in conflict with one another. Client after client spoke to this phenomena, and Dr. Schwartz discovered that there was a way in which these parts related to one another that was universal from one client to the next.
This was the beginning of IFS! Now an evidence-based form of psychotherapy, IFS is a model designed to help individuals heal their inner-family of parts who get burdened and exiled through traumatic experiences, and are forced into roles they don't want to play. When these parts feel safe to relax and release their burdens, one is able to access a state of being characterized by a sense of calm, clarity, wisdom, and confidence- or the "Self, as Dr. Schwartz he came to identify it. The Self exists in all of us, and it can’t be damaged by trauma. Internal Family Systems is designed to support individuals to access, and lead their inner and outer worlds from, the “Self.”
In the Episode:
-
His shift from practicing as a family therapist to creating the Internal Family Systems model
-
Listening to your parts as “inner assets”
-
Parts get forced into extreme roles that then lead to inner-distress
-
Through working with one of Erika’s parts, Dick gives a demo of how he uses IFS with clients
-
The role of the “Self” in the IFS model
-
The universal qualities of the Self- the part of us that can’t be damaged by trauma and knows how to heal hurting parts
-
How to differentiate between parts and the Self
-
The three categories of “roles” that parts get forced into playing: Managers, Exiles, and Firefighters
-
How IFS can be used with children and in couples therapy
-
How to lead your life from Self and relate to your inner-family, in a loving way, as a daily practice

Today's episode is the audio replay from Day 3 of the Stress Rehab Challenge. The topic of discussion is Tapping, also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Tapping combines modern psychology and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the process of tapping, on the various acupressure points, you’re working to clear stagnant energy from your body, and reprograming your subconscious, by drawing attention to painful emotions, traumatic events, and beliefs that are keeping you from stepping into your highest potential. Through tapping, you begin to restore a healthy flow of energy throughout the body allowing a new inner-world to take shape.

Description: Leah Herr is a clean beauty advocate, nurse, wife, and momma of two. After the birth of her son, four years ago (and one year after her father’s passing), she was searching for answers as to what she could do to prevent devastating diseases, such as cancer, from ravaging her family again. It was at this time, when she came across a clean beauty brand, who was advocating for more ingredient regulation and transparency, in the personal care market. Advocacy work has become her “passion project,” and today, she is using her voice to change the ingredient safety standards, in the personal care market, to protect the health of this generation and those to come.
In The Episode:
- Leah’s introduction to the world of clean beauty
- How the “personal care market” is regulated in regards to ingredient safety
-
The top 3 ingredients to look out for, when choosing safer products:
-
Ingredients that are linked to hormonal imbalances and infertility
-
Ingredients that are linked to cancer
-
Ingredients that have been shown to possibly compromise immune and nervous system health
-
What is “Fragrance” and why you want to select products without it
- Leah highlights other ingredients to avoid, such as those that release formaldehyde, as well as parabens
- “Green washed” products, decoding labels, and how to know the difference between truly safe options and marketing tactics
- Look at both what is and what isn’t in a product when considering whether it is the right option for you
- Leah’s thoughts on “organic” in skin care, and what does it actually mean
- Common barriers when making the shift to safer products, and how to overcome them...

Description:
This is the conversation missing in the mainstream money management and personal finance space, and it was what was missing for me! Today, I have the honor of introducing you to my brilliant guest, “conscious wealth” expert, Selina Gray. She is shifting the conversation from money as a set of numbers to "money as energy," and teaching us how to cultivate a relationship with it that is free of shame, and aligns with our highest values. Selina has been a CPA, CA, for 15 years, and after chasing “wealth” in her early adulthood, in a way that required insane 100+ hour work weeks, travel between 12 counties, and little time for friends, family, or what she calls “inner richness,” her health reached a crisis point. After a lengthy stay in the hospital, and being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, she was called to re-examine her relationship with money. Out of that experience, Selina found a new sense of passion, and has dedicated her life to helping others unpack their “money stories” and the beliefs that are holding them back from experiencing richness from within. She now spends her time teaching women entrepreneurs how to approach wealth building using her unique “inside out” approach, and call in more abundance, from a place of self-worth and connection.
In The Episode:
- What inspired her desire to help others heal their “money wounds”
- What shaped her “money story” as a childhood
- Amassing wealth, in her early adulthood, in an attempt to sooth a deep hunger for inner-worthiness and a sense of not being “enough”
- Experiencing a life-threatening health crisis, where she had to face the forces that were driving her compulsion to fill her life with things, and acquire wealth, at the cost of her own physical and emotional wellbeing
- Following the feeling of “not enough,” to find your “money wounds”
- How to identify what childhood experiences have shaped your own relationship to money
- Where are your childhood “money wounds,” showing up in your present day relationships?
- Money healing in relationships: how to create compassion around the conversation and explore how to honor each other's “money wounds,” and cultivate an environment where both parties feel valued and safe
- Examine how shame has impacted your relationship with money
- Money is a harmful measure for evaluating your worth
- Money is an “energy”- our perception and reality shapes the energetic quality it possesses

Description:
In this episode, Erika shares her story of recovering her period, naturally, after coming off hormonal birth control. This conversation is full of tips and strategies for bringing your hormones back into balance, and replenishing your body with the nutrients hormonal contraceptives are known to deplete. While many women are prescribed the "pill" for the management of adverse hormonal symptoms, rarely are they given information about the many, and serious, health risks associated with long term use of this medication. Women deserve better! It's time to ask for more from women's health practitioners- more information and education around birth control options, that don't pose a considerate threat to our health, and real solutions to hormonal imbalances, that address root causes, rather than merely "band-aiding" symptoms.

Description:
Your truth is nothing to be feared! This week on the podcast, Erika is bringing power and passion as she explores:
- The fear that following your truth will lead to unbearable loss
- When your body stops tolerating self-denial
- Knowing yourself is the most loving contribution you have to offer the world
- Why you cannot heal a self you don't know, or aren't willing to get to know
- How the dysfunction showing up in the body can either distract or lead you, to the source of your pain
- Stop going with the flow!
- Healing is not waiting for the “right” teacher, expert, pastor, or book. It’s waiting for you to show up for yourself.
- Contrary to the belief that it is "heroic," to loose yourself for the sake of the relationship, it's actually in the full embodiment of your truth, and the liberation of the truest version of you, that makes way for the love, connection, consciousness, and depth of intimacy that you desire with others.

This week, I had the honor of getting to interview my hero in the functional-food-as-medicine space, registered dietitian Ali Miller. She is an integrative functional dietitian, author of Naturally Nourished, The Anti-Anxiety Diet, and The Anti-Anxiety Diet Cookbook, and has over a decade of clinical experience using a whole foods ketogenic diet, to help others regulate their stress response system (a.k.a the HPA-axis), balance hormones, optimize metabolic health, improve autoimmune conditions, repair “leaky gut,” and reset the gut microbiome. Her method is supported by the most up-to-date scientific literature, offering a functional approach to whole-body healing.
In The Episode:
- Ali’s personal journey to becoming a registered dietitian, and what ignited her passion for using food, therapeutically, to treat anxiety
- Why and how Ali transitioned from a raw vegan lifestyle, to an ancestral, “nose to tail,” ketogenic dietary approach
- Ali provides a deep dive of the HPA-axis (a.k.a the “fight or flight” response). Ali breaks down each component of this system
- Indicators of HPA-axis dysregulation. We could all probably use some more support here!
- The gut-stress connection. Understanding the difference between dysbiosis in the microbiome, and “leaky gut”
- How stress drives leaky gut
- The role leaky gut plays in autoimmunity, inflammation, and food sensitivities
- Common drivers of leaky gut
- Therapeutic foods to aid in the healing of leaky gut
- The overwhelming benefits of a ketogenic diet on managing HPA-axis imbalances
- The “Nocebo Effect”- how mantra and belief impacts HPA-axis regulation

In this episode of the Wirth Wellness podcast, Erika reveals six sneaky symptoms that might indicate your Body Partnership practice could use support.
In The Episode:
- Turn off “auto-pilot-" the secret killer of Body Partnership.
- Numbing can look like a lot of things. Connecting with your pain, rather than silencing it, supports healing.
- What resentment might be trying to tell you
- Has the theme of your life become “energy conservation?"
- Decision fatigue. Does deciding what toothpaste to buy feel “life-altering?”
- Being alone with yourself feels scary

Description:
In this episode, Erika invites you to re-imagine the way you engage with difficult emotions, in crisis. Instead of being problems to "solve," what if you allowed your painful feelings to became bearers of illumination and clarity, shedding light on the things you value most? In turbulent times, your emotions don’t have to dictate your actions, as sometimes allowing them to do so wouldn’t align with who you were made to be, and want to be, in the world, but they can help reveal the way forward. A crisis is not permission to engage in self-abandonment, but rather an alert signal to maintain your inner peace, realign with your values, and guard the health and vitality you’ve been commissioned to care for and cultivate, during your beautiful time on earth.

Description:
This week, on the Wirth Wellness podcast, Erika breaks down and demystifies the functional medicine approach to healing, what this model of healthcare provides that the conventional model lacks, and what she wishes someone would have told her about alternative medical treatment, at the onset. Oftentimes, a functional medicine practitioner is sought out only after all other resources have been exhausted. But, imagine what could be possible, if you had a guide from the BEGINNING, whose role was to empower you to activate your body's unique healing power, and help you learn how to partner with, and support, your body, through the recovery process? With you in the driver's seat of your health, functional medicine offers the opportunity to reclaim your health and vitality, in a way that honors your bio-individuality, unique background, and experience using customized treatment strategies, targeted to address the root causes of dysfunction, and prevent adverse health conditions, in the future.
In the episode:
-
My entry point into functional medicine
-
Healing from my concussion through IV therapy
-
Functional medicine as a strategy for restoring the body's natural ability to heal itself
-
Why the conventional medicine model of "disease-management," leaves much to be desired
-
How to find the "right" functional medicine practitioner for you
-
What to consider prior to your first functional medicine appointment
-
Examine your mindset. Treatment is most effective when you're embracing your role as "leader," and "co-creator" of your health

Description:
Are you taking the path of most “emotional resistance,” when it comes to managing your daily stressors? The way of resistance and anxiety, is narrow and contracted, and doesn't produce long-term satisfactory outcomes. What if there was a different way to encounter your stress, that would lead to a more favorable emotional climate? In this episode, Erika offers a strategy for addressing, your all too familiar, stressors, that could help to increase your sense psychological ease. Emotional growth and expansion becomes possible, when you practice the art of turning towards and embracing, with curiosity (eyes wide open), what's keeping you "stuck," rather than resist it.
In This Episode:
- Is resistance causing your emotional pain?
- The power of embrace, and the 20 second hug
- Our eyes widen and narrow with our emotions
- Examine if your stress is experiential or cerebral
- Don’t get stuck, in the stress “tunnel”
- Get curious about taking the alternate thinking “path,” the next time you’re triggered
- “Embrace” as the "alternate route," for stress management

It's time to check the "vital signs" of your relationship with your body! This is the first, of a mini series, where Erika is sharing the fundamentals of Body Partnership, and giving you easy to implement strategies, for incorporating the principles into your everyday life. More than simply another "self-help," message, this is about refusing to show up any longer as a "half-self," to face the feelings that scare you, and extending the gift of emotional safety you've found, to those around you.
In This Episode, Erika Will Discuss:
- What the "vital signs" are, indicative of a thriving relationship with the body
-The relationship between being able to "hold space" for your own emotions, and how you're able to extend space for others to experience their own emotional valleys
- Receiving your feelings as feedback, and refraining from immediate reactivity, labeling, shaming, and silencing
-Learning the language of the body
- Why the work of healing our response to our own emotional climate matters, and plays a crucial role in carrying out our purpose in the world at large.
-Body/emotional intelligence is inspiring, and births freedom in the hearts of those who witness it.

-Description-
I was honored to have the opportunity to speak with Colin Stuckert, CEO and Founder, of Wild Foods, on the podcast this week. As a young man, Colin became interested in health and wellness, but found the typical approach to exercise and dieting, left much to be desired. A year after joining CrossFit he found the Paleo diet, where he began to pay closer attention to what he was eating, its quality and source, while also experimenting in the kitchen with cooking real, whole, foods, and eliminating sugar. In only 30 days time, he had astounding body composition and overall health outcomes. He wondered why more people weren't talking about this. Enter the birth of his obsession with the ancestral approach to eating, and quality, sustainable sourced, food. This obsession would lead him to develop the concept of "First Principles", a lifestyle framework he would later go on to build his entire brand around- Wild Foods.
-Episode Details-
Colin unpacks the fundamental elements of ancestral living, in the areas of:
-Food
-Sleep
-Technology
-Mindset
-Movement
-Personal Development
We also discuss:
-The importance of autonomy, and taking personal responsibility for your health and well-being
-Why it's critical to surround yourself with people who challenge you to grow and evolve for the better
-And how to become less “fragile,” more resilient, and stop living for the approval of others.

Description: In this episode, I had the priviledge of talking with budding enterpreneur, Morgan Wirth, of Morgan Wirth Photography! She shares her personal journey of building a successful, passion-filled, business, with no formal training or experience. You'll learn about how her greatest success has been discovering her own capibility and confidence. For Morgan, success is loving and being inspired by, the work you do everyday. Sometimes that involves learning to say, "no," to opportunities, or a way of life, that doesn't preserve the passion the work was born from. We also dicuss what it looks like for Morgan to prioritize her own health and well-being, what have become non-negotiable practices for managing a highly demanding career, and how she stays grounded.
