From Chelsie Ward.....
We are misinformed. We don’t have to expect illness as we age. It’s simply a choice when we know what to do. The problem is, how do we learn these techniques if they aren’t being taught?
I never intended to share this story. I did it because I saw so many others who desperately longed for the answers I had. As I looked around, I saw the energy depleted faces that I once knew so well. I knew I had to share this information with others. It was my gift back to a world of hurting people. It wasn’t fair to keep this knowledge to myself.
I wrote my story in a book called Healed His Way and filled it with as many resources as possible. To my surprise, it hit the Amazon Bestseller List! My next steps became clear – I had to create a program to help others get their life back.
It is my mission to make sure you gain an understanding of how to heal naturally, no matter how hopeless the situation may feel right now.
Healed His WayBY CHELSIE WARD
God created your body with an amazing capacity to heal itself when you give it what it needs. Most Western medicine is focused on alleviating symptoms without addressing the root cause. Chelsie’s approach to health and healing takes into account spirit, soul, and body. By cooperating with our body’s systems, providing proper nutrition and supplements, along with exercise and common sense, we can experience optimal health and wellness.

I’ll never forget when I was about ten years old and my grandmother looked at me one day and said, “child, you get everything that comes down this family line.”
What was she talking about?
Blood sugar issues, inability to pay attention, gas, bloating, constipation, and nausea after meals. My doctors labeled these symptoms as IBS, hypoglycemia, and ADD.
The older I got, the more diagnoses I received. In college, it was anxiety, depression, hypothyroidism, and then came the dreaded perimenopause at age 27.
My migraines would sometimes last a month with no relief. Chronic fatigue would land me on the couch daily for a nap. I suffered from sugar addiction, hair loss, stuttered speech, foggy thinking, poor memory and concentration, chronic pain, acne, and metabolism issues.
This list kept growing year after year with no end in sight. My cry for help was LOUD! I tried everything I knew. I met with doctors and specialists and even hired functional medicine doctors to help. I filled my sack full of prescriptions each month, but I wasn’t getting well.
As a nurse, I realized that I was just like my patients – being told that medication and surgery was the way out. I was told I would have to live with it. That’s not an answer I was willing to accept.
One day it clicked. I thought, “what if there’s a better way?”
I began to study how food is medicine and how our bodies were created to heal themselves. I realized that when we give the body what it needs, it will give us what we want in return. I needed a strategic plan to help me heal, using what God provided.
We don’t heal many times, because we don’t address the root of our health issues. We look at a physical symptom as that – a symptom. We don’t take into account that the cause may be something mental, emotional, or even spiritual. There is such a disconnect.
I tried to partner with others in the natural health space and learned quickly that I needed a different approach than what these doctors had to offer.
It was challenging to find someone who would look at me as a whole person, from a mind-body-spirit approach. I don’t think I even realized that’s what I needed at the time. So I went on a mission to study everything I could to address these health challenges myself.
I was already a nurse with a degree in psychology. So I went on to study health from a natural perspective and was certified in functional medicine and functional diagnostic nutrition. I also studied the spiritual and emotional components through energy medicine and was ordained as a healing minister, using the power of prayer. This all-encompassing approach was life-changing for me personally.
I felt so much joy and energy some days that I could hardly contain myself. I had never had that in my 30 years prior.
I remember thinking, “this is how we all should feel all the time.” How could this simple approach to health be hiding from so many people?
We are misinformed. We don’t have to expect illness as we age. It’s simply a choice when we know what to do. The problem is, how do we learn these techniques if they aren’t being taught?
I never intended to share this story. I did it because I saw so many others who desperately longed for the answers I had. As I looked around, I saw the energy depleted faces that I once knew so well. I knew I had to share this information with others. It was my gift back to a world of hurting people. It wasn’t fair to keep this knowledge to myself.
I wrote my story in a book called Healed His Way and filled it with as many resources as possible. To my surprise, it hit the Amazon Bestseller List! My next steps became clear – I had to create a program to help others get their life back.

Lori Saitz is the CEO of Zen Rabbit and host of the podcast “FINE is a 4-Letter Word.” She’s a nationally recognized expert in using gratitude and meditation for business success. Entrepreneurial professionals hire her to help them achieve their goals faster – without working harder.
Through her first business, Lori introduced the world to The Gratitude Cookie and built what looked like a million-dollar business. In reality, she ignored a key growth factor and ended up frustrated, in debt, and ashamed.
She’s now evolved that experience into creating tools for moving from that place where you say everything’s fine – but it’s really not! – to fantastic.
When she's not working, you can find Lori in the weight room at the gym, because she also loves baking and eating.

Beginning with her first job in high school, Ginger has had a strong work ethic. She possessed a competitive striving for excellence in working fast food that has extended into other jobs throughout her life and created a strength to go above and beyond.
The instant Ginger saw the cobblestone wall, it hit home! It reminded her of the determination she’s had to have since the birth of OSA in 2003. There were many visions and goals that have driven her from the beginning even though she knew it wasn’t going to be easy to reach them all. Even knowing how difficult it would be, Ginger admits she truly had no idea of just how much strength she would need to endure all that was coming her way. During the first two years after forming the business, she worked a full-time “day” job and would come home every night to work in her basement office. Her husband was a huge help in taking care of their children and their house while she pressed on toward her aspirations. She had an ardent desire to provide what every customer was ultimately looking for in their purchase – strong customer service. She also knew, from her years in the industry, that customer service was severely lacking. After a few years, One Stop Apparel began to flourish as referrals about her exceptional customer care began to pour in. This allowed her to take the leap into her business full-time. Her mission was to offer the perks of a large company without losing the attention to detail afforded to her clients that is so often missing in many businesses she had observed. No matter the challenges Ginger faced, her focus remained on the passion she had for her clients. This remains firmly true 15 years later.

Marilyn Swanson is the “Go to” person for Medicare and major health insurance. She is a senior herself and became a licensed life and health insurance agent for Texas in 2010.
But her story is not traditional. She has had several previous careers including serving as a college professor at the University of Idaho, South Dakota State University, The University of Mississippi and the Baylor College of Medicine. In fact, that position at the Baylor College of Medicine brought her to Texas in 2005. Marilyn became interested in Medicare in 2010, when she became eligible for Medicare and realized she was confused about her personal options.
She started learning and realized it was important to share her knowledge and experience with others.

Your brand, your image, your logo should all be consistent.

"Helping people see that their own success depends on THEM not ME. I tell them what I learned from Eric Worre years ago, "You are going to be the difference between success and failure. I'm here to guide you every step of the way, but I can't do it for you. I'm here to work with you but not for you."I think at the end of the day, the big secret is there is no secret. You just have to decide what you want, and then ultimately what you're willing to work for in your business." Heather

Well, I believe that diversity and inclusion is important, first of all, because it is really, it's all of our earth and world. And that's really the way that it's supposed to be. And I think that we shortchange ourselves, even financially. I think that financial opportunities suffer because we are not willing to build teams according to talent all the time.

Can we talk a minute about those of us who may not be as passionate about fitness?
Fil
Yeah, so that's a really good question. I deal with this all the time with clients. The one thing that that people need to understand, I think, is that it's somewhere inside of you. I wasn't passionate about fitness either, but I knew that when I was 15 years old, I lost the one person in my life that could do things for me. Why? One reason she did not pay attention to her health. So you just have to find that thing for you. It's different for everyone, so I can't talking in general terms.
