My word and focus for this year is CHOICE & CHOOSING. Deliberate choice is so damn empowering! My choice for myself and what I am challenging you to do this year is CHOOSE, what makes you happy. CHOOSE what lights you up. CHOOSE to do or NOT do what you want in your life.
Life is too short to feel victimized or forced into doing anything that is not in alignment with your purpose. I challenged myself to choose my job, choose my path, choose my truth. What I learned is that there are tons of options out there I just have to choose to take action to create something new in my life. So I did! And I feel so much better and happier.

How Spark Summit came to be Spark Virtual Healing Summit was envisioned by scientist, metaphysical teacher, entrepreneur, outdoor enthusiast, and curiosity-driven woman, KC Kent. She believes that healing happens at the intersection of all modalities.
After a medical trauma in 2017 nearly extinguished her light - KC created Spark Healing Summit as a place for practitioners to show up as their whole selves, to embrace the light and shadow of their (collective and individual) humanity.
She found that practices focused on heart-centered community deeply nourished her in her darkest of days. And so she crafted Spark to draw people together to go on a journey within - to touch the Spark of life that lives within each one of us and to witness and be witnessed exactly as we are.

What is Live Unbreakable? TL/DR - Live Unbreakable is a lifestyle where you learn to treat your body like your best friend instead of your enemy. Learn to fuel (eat), condition (train) and maintain (live) Unbreakable. The best part? You have experienced trainers with you every step of the way. There’s all too much information out in the universe about how to get healthy, stay healthy, work out, what to eat, what not to eat, how to drop weight, how to gain weight, how to get abs FAST, how to follow the next fad diet - you get the point. And you’ve probably been there. Maybe you’re there right now. It’s exhausting to read the title let alone the lists. And how do you choose? They’re confusing, often contradicting, and almost never worth the effort when it’s all said and done. So what makes Live Unbreakable different than the rest? Experience. Passion. Tenacity. Dedication. Understanding. We’re not a company - we’re a lifestyle. Originally started as an early morning boot camp, Live Unbreakable became a much bigger and more bad-ass business than ever anticipated. Live Unbreakable has become a way of life. Virtual, personal, and group training, strength coaching, obstacle-specific coaching, run coaching, and nutritional / healthy lifestyle coaching combine under one umbrella. Try saying that three times fast. Did you know it takes three minutes of stretching four to five days a week for ten weeks to actually stretch and lengthen a tight muscle? Or that your body carries the stress of two and a half to three times your body weight every single stride when you’re running? We do. And we account for all of it so you don’t have to.

About Zoe Stern: Zoe is the owner of RAGE Fit Nutrition and has taken her love of healthy living and turned it into a passion for helping others transform their lives. Growing up as a dancer Zoe had always been side by side with a life of health and fitness, or so she thought. Little did she know that what she was being exposed to was not the way to live a healthy life. At the age of 18 Zoe moved to Mexico which sparked years of world travel and adventure. But it also sparked something else, years of yo-yo dieting and frustration as to why she couldn't maintain her body. In her quest to get in shape once and for all she learned what she'd been missing all those years and made it her mission to help others who were facing the same struggles. In this time Zoe also began having troubles with bloating and what started as something small began to get worse and worse until it turned into nonstop discomfort and spiraled her into an obsession with getting to the bottom of her bloat. Like yo-yo dieting, Zoe found quick relief multiple times but nothing lasted. Turning to traditional medicine provided no answers to her pain which led her to the world of natural medicine. Once Zoe began looking at her body as a whole she discovered why she was bloated and was able to heal. She now works with others to create lasting change so they can stop starting over in their health journey.

Happy Thanksgiving & welcome back! This week I am joined by Stephanie May, LMT, CPT, Usui & Holy Fire III Reiki Master.
Have you heard of this energy healing mechanism called Reiki? If not, this is a great episode to introduce you to both Usui and the Holy Fire systems of Reiki.
Stephanie and I are both Reiki Masters and are passionate about teaching others to manage their energy and improving their lives. Tune in to learn more about our new programs, the Reiki Booster Series, which is happening Dec 19 & 20th, 2020. We are offering a level 1 & 2 class as well as a master class. Learn more here.
https://drlaramay.com/store/blackfriday
Follow Up Notes from Episode: Holy Fire Reiki: Why placements?
- “The ignition style of Holy Fire is more powerful because of the fact the teacher’s energy was not involved. It was a hands off style. So he asked his Guide, to which he was answered, yes, and then began receiving the downloaded information during an ignition like experience.”
- The difference between Holy Fire and other forms?
“Introduced to the ICRT in 2014, it is included part of Usui classes and Karuna Reiki training. The energy is noticeably more refined and comes from a higher level of consciousness.
Notable differences include:
i. Working continuously even when not thinking about it. Spontaneously heals issues as they come up.
ii. It works very quickly WITHOUT distress, aka healing crisis.
iii. Always respects free will.
iv. Heals relationships and interactions with others. Can be long term or also be spontaneously with others. It especially heals religious trauma.
v. Releases worry and replaces it with feeling of safety
vi. Spontaneously provides guidance applicable to every level of life experience
vii. Effects of feeling continuously loved, a deep and refined nurturing feeling.
viii. Develops the healthy personality traits more that will serve a persons higher self more.
ix. It continuously evolves within the person and becomes more effective.”

Welcome back to Light Body Radio! This week’s episode is for all you out there who still think eating every 2-3 hours is doing your metabolism some fantastic favor. It’s not! Eating 6 meals a day is actually doing more harm than good.
The intention of this EPISODE is to take a good, hard look at the topic of meal frequency, and figure out how many meals you should actually be eating each day.
There are NO STUDIES supporting the recommended “eat every 2-3 hours” dogma. None. Zero. Zilch. Matter of fact, I found the opposite to be true. Study after study showed a health benefit to eating less frequently…lower overall blood sugar, a faster metabolic rate, and even increased protein synthesis! (that’s building muscle)
So, join me today in this dive into the myths we’ve been told about meal frequency and much more about hunger regulation.

Welcome back to Light Body Radio! In this week”s episode I am joined by Stephanie May, LMT, Reiki Master to discuss the victim state of mind and taking control of your mental health.
We are all living through unprecedented times for sure! But that does not mean that we should allow ourselves to be victimized. Being the victim is a challenge that we must all face at some point in our lives, and actually will face multiple times throughout our lives. But there is a way you can perceive and move through those challenging times with empowerment and mindfulness.
That’s what Stephanie and I wanted to bring you today, the tools to be empowered, to be the driver of your own mental state. You have the power to choose what and how you think and feel. You are not weak. You are not alone.
I also wrote a blog about this back in March of this year right as COVID was starting to take off in the US. How timely?! Definitely check that out for tools to support mental health and self-care.
If you or someone you love are in crisis, you are not alone! Please reach out and get help. I have listed some resources below to support you. You are needed. You are loved. You are valuable!

Welcome back to Light Body Radio! This week I want to give you a tool you can use daily to dig deeper into the issues that ail you. The Body Scan Technique is a way to quiet your mind, tune into your body, and open up to intuitive guidance about the root of your dis-ease. This can be used for emotional or physical ailments alike.
Today’s episode is akin to a guided meditation, so be ready with your journal and pen to take notes. While I will guide you into a relaxed receiving state, you will not be deep into mediation. You want to be present and able to jot down thoughts, feelings, emotions, colors, and even temperatures that come up as we scan through your body. You can do this as a focus in just one area of the body or you can use this as a whole-body scan.
I’d love to hear how this tool helps you get to the root of your imbalance. Make sure to leave me a comment below!

This week’s guest is David Krantz a certified Epigenetic Coach. This week joining me to discuss epigenetics, precision wellness, and what it could mean for feeling your best more of the time, is David Krantz a coach specializing in using genetics and epigenetics to dial in personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
In biology, epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations in the actual DNA sequence itself. In this week’s discussion with David, we are going to explain more about what epigenetics means for wellness, treating illness, and how you can influence your genetic expression every day.
We also dive into nutrigenomics, which is how food can influence genetic expression. Your unique DNA blueprint has a huge influence on how you experience your everyday life. What these two topics bring to the table is the empowerment for you to choose how you think, what you expose yourself to, and how you approach your wellness. Are you predetermined and powerless to be the combination of genes your parents passed on to you? Or are you empowered and ready to change how those genes are expressed to enable your life to be full, energetic, and healthy?
Tune in. Get all the juicy details. And decide for yourself!

Welcome back to Light Body Radio! This week I have a guest with me! This week I welcome back Stephanie May, BA, LMT, CPT, CRT joining me to discuss common-sense cleaning with natural products. We will dispel some myths that are being perpetuated in the media and give you some actionable tips you can start using today. Join us today to learn how you can keep your spaces clean and support your immune system without toxic chemical cleaners.
Here is the excerpt from Stephanie’s newsletter discussing essential oils for cleaning:
When it comes not just to cleaning, but to boosting immunity in general, I like to use the following essential oils or foods as topicals.
Melaleuca oil (aka Tea Tree Oil) is one of my all-time favorite oils to use for a plethora of reasons. To me it is God’s gift to man. It is a natural anti-fungal, antiseptic, stain remover, bug repellent, astringent, fabric refresher, etc. It can be used for so many things. It does need to be diluted as it is very potent, but when used as a spray, and/or in combination with other oils, it is just as effective.
Lemon (or other citrus) is also a natural disinfectant, hence why it is used in so many cleaners. Citric Acid is very effective. Likewise, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is great for boosting immunity and the colder winter seasons.
Lavender is also amazing. Not only is it great for relaxing (and therefore good for stress), it is also a very effective degreaser and cleaning agent. Additionally, lavender is a natural antiseptic and anti- inflammatory. Some of its other many uses are for burns, bug bites, in baths, and in humidifiers.
Ginger is also a very popular as a food and oil both. As a powder it can be used as a topical paste and as an oil in soaks or baths. It aids in digestion which helps boost your immunity because most of your immune system lies in your gut. Ginger is also beneficial for inflammation and detoxing the body and tissues which explains why you may be seeing it included in more and more supplements these days, especially joint supplements.
Turmeric, like its 4 friends mentioned previously, is a miracle worker. It has incredible healing properties by being a natural anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent as well. Combined with ginger and omegas, it is great for healing injuries and likewise natural pain relief. I love putting it in my baths and making pastes with it also.

This week’s guest is Marianne Schneider from Reiki Tahoe & 5th Element Healing. This week I joining me to discuss the energy of the heart space and the benefits of finding the energy of coherence is Marianne Schneider.
Our heart space in the bridge between the spiritual and physical realms. It is the area of our body where we integrate the two realms for manifestation and understanding. Through the heart, we have the ability to improve the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our health. Many of us have built walls around this area to protect ourselves from the challenging aspects of human life. Today we are going to encourage you to open up and let go, to grow, and allow the love to shine through. Tune in and get all the juicy details.

Welcome back to Light Body Radio! This week I have a special treat! My good friend and colleague, Julie Ford, and I got together to bring you a special episode on “Navigating the New Normal”. As we all adjust to the dynamic that COVID-19 has brought upon us, we talk about how to find our grounded calm, acknowledge and move through grief and so much more! Join us this week for a lively conversation and take away some tools you can use today! In today’s show, we offer you something to ponder, to practice and to play with.
To ponder:
“One day when you wake up, you will find that you have become a forest. You have grown roots and found strength in them that no one thought you had. You have become stronger and more beautiful, full of life giving qualities. You have learned to take all the negativity around you and turn it into oxygen for easy breathing. A host of wild creatures live inside you and you call them stories. A variety of beautiful birds rest inside your mind and you call them memories. You have become an incredible self sustaining thing of epic proportions. And you should be so proud of yourself, of how far you have come from the seeds of who you used to be.”
– Nikita Gill, You Have Become a Forest
Practice -
- Honor and mourn/acknowledge the loss of OLD Normal
- Be open to the possibilities and ways to thrive in NEW Normal
- Choose to take small, do-able steps toward creative solutions in NEW Normal.
The meditation that I led us through - at min 26:30 - 32:00. It's a beautiful 5 1/2 minutes. So CALMING AND GROUNDING!
Play with-
Step 3 - creative solutions- Make it FUN!
Have a dance party! Movement is GROUNDING!
Tools of Life is written and produced by Julie Ford of Julz of Life where we've been supporting parents and teens as they navigate the challenging richness of raising the next generation. This stage of life is full of our own "remember when" and "oh boy, here we go" moments that we can choose to either DREAD or RELISH. No stage of parenting (or life…) should need to be endured. Let's enjoy every stage.

In celebration of the completion of my functional medicine training, I wanted to bring you an in-depth examination of the difference between functional medicine and allopathic medicine. I also wanted to illustrate how medical intuition & energy medicine can be complementary to your healthcare approach.
Today I cover the 5 tenents of functional medicine…
- Functional Medicine views us all as being different; genetically and biochemically unique. This personalized health care treats the individual, not the disease. It supports the normal healing mechanisms of the body, naturally, rather than attacking disease directly.
- Functional Medicine is deeply science-based. The latest research shows us that what happens within us is connected in a complicated network or web of relationships. Understanding those relationships allows us to see deep into the functioning of the body.
- Your body is intelligent and has the capacity for self-regulation, which expresses itself through a dynamic balance of all your body systems.
- Your body has the ability to heal and prevent nearly all the diseases of aging.
- Health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of immense vitality.
I also talked about the difference between healing and a cure.
And finally, I gave a brief intro to medical intuition.

One aspect of life where we can create more flow is how and what we eat. How do we think about food and eating? How can we create a more calm, smoothe and flowing approach? For me the answer is simplification, and what is more simple than clean eating? Are you considering moving to clean eating, but cannot find the motivation to start? It may be that clean eating sounds like an entire lifestyle shift, one that requires proper planning and proper initiation. You may be putting it off until you get a few days off from work or when that one big project is over. But here’s the problem with waiting until…”I have this”, or “This is done”…You will keep looking for reasons to put off change until you realize that you can just break down that change into smaller pieces and start integrating it slowly into your life. Right now. Today!

Today’s episode is a continuation of the Self-Love episode in Sept.

In today’s episode, I get personal about my struggle with my body dysmorphia, self-talk, and struggle with self-love.
Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and rarely are they accepted by society/the media. Too many of us are self-conscious and self-critical, and focusing too much on our flaws. The worst thing we can do is make comparisons to and assumptions about ourselves and others. When we judge others, we are really just projecting our own self judgement onto someone else. We all need to learn to love who we are because we are all unique; there is no perfect body, no perfect person. Tune into today’s episode to learn more about the best ways to cultivate self-love.

How we prepare our food has a direct effect on how nutritious or harmful it can be to our health. If we are going to go out of our way to get the best quality food, then shouldn’t also stand to reason that we should cook it in such a way as to preserve the nutritious value?

Today’s episode dives into how eating plants can cause inflammation in the body.
“WHAT?!” You’re probably thinking. “I thought I was supposed to eat plants!”
The short answer is yes, eat plants. But the more in depth answer is maybe there are some plants that are contributing to the inflammation in your body. Today I give you the run down on lectins, plant defense systems. Lectins are thought to have evolved as a natural defense in plants, essentially as a toxin that deters animals from eating the plants.
In “The Plant Paradox”, by Dr. Steven Gundry, MD, the mechanism by which plants defend themselves from predators (us/humans) is related to (and possibly the cause of) how it affects our GI system and our ability to absorb and process nutrients. It’s an interesting hypothesis and one that as the title refers to is a paradox to what we’ve been told about how and what to eat.
Tune in to today’s episode to find out if some plants could be the source of your digestive troubles, fatigue and many other symptoms.
