This episode features a live panel conversation with Dr. Monique Rogers, Courtney McDermott, and Dr. Anna Marie Frank, recorded at a women's community event in Bakersfield benefiting Casa Esperanza. The evening blends personal storytelling, practical wisdom, and raw honesty as three dynamic women unpack what it truly means to reclaim clarity, trust, and freedom. Topics range from the ego's role in protecting versus connecting, the neuroscience of the mind versus the brain, the art of asking unapologetically, navigating power dynamics in negotiations, healing from trauma, and the danger of competing instead of collaborating. The conversation is grounded in lived experience and offers both provocative insights and actionable tools for women ready to stop conforming and start leading with their soul.

In this conversation, Dr. Anna Marie and high-performance coach James Laughlin explore the shift from hustle culture to sustainable, habits-based high performance. They unpack how chasing external validation and constant achievement leads to burnout, nervous system dysregulation, and emptiness, and contrast that with a life built on clarity, boundaries, and aligned habits. James shares practical tools like micro "exposure therapy" to rest, leverage-based boundaries, and a simple daily journaling framework to help high achievers protect their health, redefine success from the inside out, and create impact without sacrificing well-being.
"If you don't make time for health, you'd better make time for sickness." – James Laughlin
Key Points:
- Hustle feels great until it doesn't.
- External validation (status, money, fame) is not sustainable fuel.
- High performance = results and healthy relationships + well-being.
- Signs of burnout: constant fatigue, flat mood, withdrawal, no joy.
- Reducing work triggers fear; the brain reads "rest" as "danger."
- Use small "exposures" to time off (e.g., 2 hours, then 4, then a full day).
- Boundaries with yourself are harder than boundaries with others.
- Leverage (painful consequence) helps you keep your own commitments.
- Simple daily journaling: gratitude, what went well, what you learned, 1% better.
- Top performers are radically clear on what success looks like for them.

In this episode of the Happy Whole You Podcast, Dr. Robert Melillo returns to explore ADHD, brain development, and why so many modern mental health challenges may stem from brain imbalances rather than fixed "chemical defects." Looking through an evolutionary and developmental lens, he explains how reduced movement, increased technology use, and left-brain–heavy lifestyles are reshaping our brains. Together with host Dr. Anna Marie Frank, they unpack left vs. right brain dominance, ADHD subtypes, postpartum depression, and why focusing on our weaknesses, not just our strengths, may be the key to long-term brain and mental health.
"You're not broken. If anything, you are exceptional at something, and that gift is also what can leave you vulnerable." – Dr. Robert Melillo
Key points:
- Movement is the foundation of brain development
- Modern life (tech, sitting, toxins) is driving brain imbalances
- Many issues (ADHD, autism, OCD, anxiety, depression) are developmental, not fixed defects
- Our culture and schools overtrain the left brain and neglect the right brain
- Right brain: social skills, emotional regulation, attachment, big-picture thinking
- Left brain: data, goals, tech, ego, short-term focused attention
- ADHD has different subtypes with different left/right brain patterns
- True healing means strengthening weaknesses, not just doubling down on strengths
- Medication can help short term, but long-term solutions focus on brain balance
- The brain is highly plastic and can change at any age

In this episode of the HAPPY WHOLE YOU PODCAST, Dr. Anna Marie Frank sits down with leadership and performance coach Sean Patton to explore the real difference between managing and leading, and why so many high achievers still end up feeling unfulfilled. Drawing from his military Special Forces background and his work with top performers, Sean shares how to move from task-focused management to true leadership that expands human capacity, aligns personal and business vision, and prevents leaders from hitting a silent ceiling of boredom and overwhelm. They dive into the inner work, the role of coaching, and the importance of listening to your body and intuition to stay in alignment with your highest, most authentic path.
"Leadership is about empowering and inspiring others to become a greater version of themselves than they ever thought was possible." – Sean Patton
5 Key Takeaways
- True leadership starts with clarity of mission and communication, but in civilian life you must learn to define the mission from within, not just follow one handed to you.
- Management maximizes the efficiency of existing systems, while leadership expands human capacity beyond what people believe they're capable of.
- A simple diagnostic is to list your tasks: if you can't clearly see how you're increasing human capacity, you're probably managing more than leading.
- High-level leaders often hit a hidden ceiling where they feel both overwhelmed and bored, signaling it's time for deeper inner work and a new, more aligned vision.
- Coaches help uncover blind spots and misaligned goals so you don't have to "hit empty" at the top; early alignment between inner purpose and outer impact prevents midlife crises of success.

You've probably heard about peptides for anti aging, weight loss, and recovery, but oral peptides bring a different angle. Instead of injections, you're looking at a simpler approach that still targets growth hormone support, tissue repair, and overall longevity. The key is not just taking them, but knowing which ones work, like MK-677 and BPC-157, and how they fit into your routine.
You also need to think about quality and safety. Sourcing from compliant pharmacies and following proper dosing matters more than hype. Microdosing, working with experienced practitioners, and understanding how your body responds can make the difference between real results and wasted effort.
This is not about chasing shortcuts. When you combine smart peptide use with solid habits like nutrition, recovery, and hormone balance, you give your body a better shot at long term performance and healthy aging.
In this Episode, You'll Learn:
- Understanding Oral Peptides
- Clinical Trials and Peptide Effectiveness
- Natural Peptide Production and BHRT
- Anti-Aging and Weight Loss with Peptides
- Oral vs. Injectable Peptides

Peptides are getting attention for a reason. These small protein fragments send signals in your body that can support healing, muscle repair, immune function, and hormone balance. But jumping in too early can backfire. You're reminded that a solid foundation matters first—clean nutrition, enough protein, and balanced hormones set the stage before peptides can actually help.
You'll get a clear view of how different peptides work and when they make sense. From BPC-157 for injury recovery to thymus alpha-1 for immune support, each one has a specific role. You also learn why proper sourcing, dosing, and cycling are critical to avoid side effects and get real results.
This is about using peptides the right way, not chasing shortcuts. When you combine the right tools with strong fundamentals, you give your body what it needs to recover, perform, and stay resilient long term.
In this Episode, You'll Learn:
- Categories and Uses of Peptides
- Sources and Regulation of Peptides
- Nutritional Foundations and Protein Intake
- Choosing the Right Peptides and Brands
- Blends and Cycling of Peptides
- Injection Techniques and Safety

You might be doing everything right and still feel tired, foggy, or out of balance. One missing piece could be iodine. This conversation brings attention to iodine deficiency, a hidden issue linked to thyroid problems, low energy, brain fog, and poor detoxification. With modern soil depletion and exposure to toxins like fluoride and bromide, most people are not getting enough.
You'll learn why iodine plays a key role in metabolism, mental clarity, skin health, and overall wellness. It is not just about adding a supplement. It is about understanding absorption, dosage, and how iodine supports your body in clearing toxins and restoring balance.
The bigger picture is simple. Health is not one fix. When you combine proper nutrients, clean habits, and awareness of what your body needs, you start to feel the shift. This is your reminder to look deeper and support your body at the root level.

In this uplifting conversation, Suzanne Adams joins the Happy Whole You podcast to share her powerful spiritual awakening story and how it led her to support heart-centered leaders and purpose-driven entrepreneurs. She describes the moment in 2013 when "time froze," catalyzing a journey from numbing and surface-level happiness into deep soul alignment, self-love, and quantum manifestation. Suzanne and Dr. Anna Marie explore playing by two "rule books" in life—the limiting matrix vs. the quantum field of possibility—how to recognize which one you're in, and practical ways to shift into alignment, purpose, and energetic expansion. They also dive into Suzanne's bigger vision: her books reaching millions, Girl Awakened becoming a film, teaching energetics in schools, and leading mass activations in arenas around the world.
Key point:
- Suzanne helps heart-centered leaders and entrepreneurs align with soul and prosperity
- A 2013 spiritual awakening (the clock "freezing" at 4:59) shifted her from numbing to purpose
- She moved from surface-level happiness and people-pleasing into deep self-love and healing
- Discovery of soul work, retreats, and quantum physics transformed her life
- Feeling stuck often means being trapped in the mind instead of listening to the heart
- We choose between the rule book of limitation (matrix) and rule book of alignment (quantum field)
- Your baseline frequency (how you usually feel/live) can be consciously upgraded
- Emotional "activation" from others is a key manifestation tool and sign of your path
- Doubt ("Who do you think you are?") is normal turbulence at every new level—keep going
- Suzanne's vision: her books (Girl Awakened, Quantum Vibes), a film adaptation, big arenas, and teaching energetics in schools

In this episode, the Dr. Anna Marie with Jodi Wellman, founder of 4000 Mondays, about using the reality of our mortality as a powerful motivator to actually live. Drawing from her personal story of losing her mother, her work in positive psychology, and the concept of "memento mori," Jodi explains how acknowledging death can wake us up from autopilot, help us savor ordinary moments, and push us to avoid "pre-grets"—the regrets we're on track to have if we don't course-correct now. They explore savoring past, present, and future, living both wider (more fun, vitality) and deeper (more meaning, purpose), and taking small but bold actions to get off the sidelines of our own lives.
Key Points
- Using the Grim Reaper / memento mori as motivation to truly live
- Waking up from autopilot and choosing a "squander‑free" life
- Jodi's mom's unfulfilled dreams as a powerful wake‑up call
- Leaving a comfortable corporate job for more meaningful work
- Creating 4000 Mondays and using "mortality math" to spark urgency
- Savoring past, present, and future moments to feel more alive
- Balancing life wider (fun, vitality) and deeper (meaning, purpose)
- Noticing that disappointment and fear keep us from big dreams
- Understanding regrets of omission (what we never try) hurt the most
- Taking one small, concrete action now as a vote for being fully alive
Connect with Jodi Wellman:

In this conversation, Dr. Anna Marie, with Cortney, unpacks and reframes what vulnerability truly is—shifting it from oversharing, venting, or seeking validation to a deeper state of relaxation, safety, and authenticity in ourselves and with others. They explore how this redefinition transforms leadership, client work, and relationships, emphasizing that real vulnerability begins with being honest and gentle with ourselves. The discussion also offers practical ways to notice tension in the body, create inner safety, and use pause and non-reaction as powerful leadership tools.
Key Points:
- Vulnerability is deep relaxation and safety in the presence of others.
- It is not gossip, oversharing, or "airing dirty laundry."
- Many confuse vulnerability with venting and victimhood to get validation.
- True vulnerability means sharing without needing validation or agreement.
- In leadership, vulnerability is a calm, grounded presence in any context.
- People are drawn to leaders who feel safe, relaxed, and steady.
- Real vulnerability starts with being honest and gentle with yourself first.
- Your body's tension or relaxation is a key signal of safety or misalignment.
- You don't have to respond immediately—there is power in pause and silence.
- "Don't give it oxygen": choosing not to fuel drama or reactivity is a core vulnerable leadership move.

If you are tired of treating symptoms without real answers, this conversation challenges how you see modern medicine. You are invited to look beyond prescriptions and quick fixes and start asking why your body is reacting in the first place. Stress, lifestyle, and inflammation often sit at the center of gut issues like IBS, reflux, and chronic discomfort.
You will hear why fiber, sleep, movement, and community matter more than most people realize. Rising gut disorders and colon cancer in younger adults make prevention and early awareness critical. Instead of labeling yourself by a diagnosis, you are encouraged to see symptoms as signals your body is asking for support.
The focus turns to balance. You do not have to reject traditional care, but you can pair it with meditation, exercise, and simple nutrition habits that support long term digestive health. When you shift from fear to understanding, healing becomes more practical and personal.
In this Episode, You'll Learn:
- Differences in Healthcare and Root Causes
- Connection Between Stress and Gut Issues
- Balancing Medical and Non-Medical Treatments
- Probiotics and Overall Health
- Increasing Gut Issues and Cancer in Younger Individuals
- Colon Cancer and Symptoms
- Breaking Bad News to Patients
- Approaching Health with a Different Perspective
- Personal Health Practices
- Simplifying Healthy Eating

In this episode of the Happy Whole You Podcast, Jen Aks shares her powerful journey from feeling "not smart enough" in a test-score-driven world to reclaiming her innate wisdom and creating a body-based practice that helps others do the same. She and the host explore multiple forms of intelligence—kinesthetic, emotional, and somatic—while challenging the old stories that keep us small. Jen also guides a simple, hands-on somatic exercise live on the show to demonstrate how we can listen to and love our bodies, calm our nervous systems, and reconnect with our authentic selves.
Key Points
- How a childhood story of "not being smart" shaped Jen's life—and how she rewrote it
- Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences and why test scores are not the ultimate measure of intelligence
- The power of kinesthetic, emotional, and somatic intelligence in real-life success and fulfillment
- Why so many people (especially teens and young adults) feel like they don't belong in today's comparison-driven culture
- The concept of "body set": using hands on heart and belly to pause, notice, and reconnect
- Introduction to Jen's somatic practice and the Power of Gesture—using hand movements to embody and release emotions
- A live guided exercise to ease lower-back tension using touch, breath, and loving attention
- Why simply paying attention and pausing (without attaching meaning) is the first step to reconnecting with your body's wisdom
- How emotional and body-based practices can support leaders, executives, students, and kids alike
- Where to find Jen's work, including her book Your Body Is Speaking and her "Body Set to Reset" 5‑day email series
About Jen Aks:
Her journey into leadership and embodiment began as a self-conscious student who felt unseen by traditional education. Through decades as a dance educator, she rediscovered the body's wisdom and the power of kinesthetic and emotional intelligence.
Today, she helps others reconnect with their inner intelligence, worthiness, and courage—guiding them toward embodied leadership and aligned, purposeful living.

What if optimizing your health is less about guessing and more about testing? You explore the science behind diet and intermittent fasting while learning why food quality, timing, and even your wine choices matter more than most people think. The focus shifts toward intentional living—where data, not trends, guides your next move.
You'll also look into practical biohacking tools you can actually use, from blue light blockers and red light therapy to continuous glucose monitors and cold exposure. The big idea is simple: when you measure what's happening inside your body, you make smarter decisions outside of it.
Along the way, you're encouraged to take a more holistic path—one that blends modern tech, ancient longevity principles, and open-minded medical care. Because real performance and long-term health come from understanding your body, not just managing symptoms.

In this final episode of The Becoming Years series, the conversation reframes midlife as an identity shift and powerful invitation rather than a breakdown. Dr. Anna Marie explores loneliness among high-achieving women, the impact of nervous system burnout, and how changing bodies and roles call for new ways of living. Listeners are encouraged to prioritize self-care, deepen relationships through honest conversations, and courageously pursue what they truly desire in the second half of life. Practical reflection tools—like the "seven whys" exercise—are shared to help uncover deeper needs and design a more aligned, energizing future.
Key Points

- You are not behind; you are becoming
- Loneliness is common for high-achieving women after 40
- Career, parenting, and success can quietly erode connections
- Exhaustion often comes from nervous system burnout, not weakness
- Invisible labor and hormonal shifts add to midlife fatigue
- Regulating the nervous system is vital for healthy relationships
- Partners benefit from syncing and co-regulating together
- Honest conversations about needs reduce the urge to "fix" each other
- Self-care: eat well, move your body, protect your energy

- Forgive yourself for relationships that have run their course
- Midlife is a chance to reinvent friendships and lifestyle
- Try small changes: new routes, classes, trips, experiences
- Be bold and stop living by others' expectations
- You can choose a different path for the second half of life
- Feeling empty or ungrateful after success is common, not wrong
- Deeper conversations about "taboo" feelings are essential

In this episode, Dr. Anna Marie speaks directly to women over 40 navigating perimenopause and midlife changes. She connects common physical symptoms—like irregular periods, sleep issues, low libido, and weight changes—to deeper emotional and identity shifts. The focus is on building simple but powerful foundations of health: nourishing food, strength training, quality sleep, stress regulation, and asking for help. Rather than seeing the body as "betraying" us, she reframes this season as a transition that can be supported with intentional self-care and support systems.
Key Points * Women over 40 are searching for answers on hormones, sleep, libido, and weight * Perimenopause symptoms affect mood, identity, confidence, and relationships * Self-care is essential, not optional, during midlife transitions * Eat to nourish your brain and emotions, not just your waistline * Prioritize strength training over endless cardio for longevity * Good sleep hygiene supports blood sugar, metabolism, and mood * Nutrition choices can regulate stress and low mood * Hire help (cleaner, organizer, chef) to reduce mental and physical load * Build health foundations: water, protein, fruits, vegetables, rest, meditation * Your body isn't betraying you; it's transitioning and needs support * Health is the bedrock of identity, connection, and success in midlife

In this episode, the conversation explores what women commonly experience after 40—hormonal shifts, identity changes, and new health concerns—and how these changes impact relationships. Rather than blaming anyone, the focus is on insight, understanding, and practical ways couples can support each other, regulate their nervous systems together, and build deeper, safer connection in this season of life.
Key Points:
- Women 40+ face hormone changes and lower libido
- Nervous system becomes more sensitive and reactive
- Identity shifts as kids need mom less
- Need more rest, quiet, and alone time
- This is recalibration, not rejection of partners
- Women need safety, support, and listening, not fixing
- Women are allowed to change and ask for what they need
- Shared nervous system regulation (walks, breathwork, rituals)
- Prioritize sleep and a calm, tech-free bedroom
- Being rested reduces conflict and reactivity
- Take ownership of health: food, movement, sleep
- Nurture nourishing relationships; drop draining ones
- Reduce phone use and comparison to others
- Google searches show concern about perimenopause and hormones
- Women worry about heart, bone, sleep, and chronic health
- Relationships in your 40s will (and should) look different
- With communication, this season can deepen connection
- Quality of relationships shapes quality of life

In this episode, the focus is on the "quiet crisis" many accomplished women experience in midlife: having everything they worked for yet feeling empty or misaligned. The conversation explores how success driven by external validation and constant achievement can leave a gap where meaning, alignment, and inner peace should be. Listeners are invited to slow down, regulate their nervous system, get quiet enough to hear their intuition, and begin honoring the desires that have been quietly calling to them.
Key Points
- Quiet crisis: success achieved, but inner emptiness remains
- Many goals were built on others' expectations, not true desires
- Midlife shifts focus from "What can I do?" to "Who am I?"
- External success vs. internal alignment and meaning
- Dopamine-driven achievement can't fill a deeper soul need
- Regulating the nervous system allows more calm and clarity
- Silence and stillness make room for intuition to be heard
- Notice what now feels heavy that once felt exciting
- Notice what feels alive and keeps "tapping on your shoulder"
- Example: prioritizing short, frequent trips to see a loved one
- Midlife as recalibration, not crisis

In this episode, Dr. Anna Marie explores the idea that women are not "too much" — they are often just carrying too much for too long. She shares a vulnerable story about burnout while planning a conference, how being labeled "too much" is often about dysregulated nervous systems (ours and others'), and why midlife can feel like a breaking point. She reframes exhaustion, grief, and the loss of hustle as biology and awakening rather than failure, and offers practical ways to regulate the nervous system, release people-pleasing, and honor rest as a form of leadership.
Key Points:
- Being "too much" is often just carrying too much.
- Dysregulated nervous systems shape how we see ourselves and others.
- Midlife burnout can feel like grief for a former self.
- The body says "no" when the mind won't listen.
- Women hold an invisible emotional and mental load.
- Most women want presence and acknowledgment, not fixes.
- Regulating cortisol: light exposure, protein, consistent sleep.
- Reduce triggers: inflammatory foods, media, draining conversations.
- Use simple breathing rituals morning and night.
- Rest is not laziness; it is leadership.
- Outgrowing survival mode can make life feel heavier at first.
- Let go of people-pleasing and energy-draining commitments.
- Choose what gives energy; if it drains you, it's a "no."

In this episode, Dr. Anna Marie explores why making friends after 40 can feel so hard—especially for women—and reframes it as a sign of growth, not failure. She explains how changing priorities, nervous system shifts, and evolving values make us crave deeper, safer connections instead of draining, surface-level relationships. The episode offers both emotional validation and practical strategies for regulating your body, rethinking friendship, and intentionally building a new social life focused on quality over quantity.
Key Points
- Friendships feel harder after 40 because we're more awake, not broken
- Early-life friendships often formed through proximity (school, kids, work)
- After 40, shared routines change and built-in social circles shrink
- Women want depth, safety, and energy-giving relationships, not small talk
- Old friendships can feel "off" even if no one did anything wrong
- Nervous system changes reduce tolerance for gossip, comparison, drama
- High-achieving women often feel lonely after stepping back from draining ties
- True belonging doesn't require changing who you are (inspired by Brené Brown)
- Connection needs energy; energy depends on nervous system regulation
- Poor sleep, blood sugar issues, and inflammation reduce social capacity
- Supportive habits: magnesium, protein before socializing, less coffee
- Prefer walks or tea to overstimulating coffee meetups
- Focus on quality over quantity in midlife friendships
- Build friendships slowly and intentionally; no forcing or rushing
- Join communities that combine movement and conversation (e.g., pickleball)
- Consistency in showing up is key to forming deeper bonds
- Be willing to change routines to meet new people
- It's never too late to build a meaningful social life
- Choose alignment and energy over chaos and people-pleasing

Key Points:
- Rebuilding identity, connection, and success after 40
- Feeling "behind" at midlife and reframing that belief
- The "meantime space" between life's highs and lows

- Burnout from running on adrenaline and approval
- Letting go of proving and people-pleasing
- Choosing relationships and activities that give energy
- Discomfort of slowing down and being less "busy"

- Gratitude for how far you've already come
- Invitation to redefine success and deeper connections after 40

You can follow every diet and still feel stuck if the real issue lives beneath the surface. This conversation invites you to look at eating disorders and addictions through an emotional and nervous system lens, not willpower. You start to see how trauma, shame, and unprocessed experiences quietly shape your relationship with food, weight, and control.
You're introduced to holistic tools like Emotional Freedom Techniques that go beyond talk therapy and calorie counting. By addressing emotional blockages directly, real change becomes possible. The focus shifts from fixing your body to understanding it, setting boundaries, and reclaiming authenticity.
When you stop fighting yourself and start listening, health becomes more than a goal. It becomes a sense of wholeness. This is about coming back home to your body, trusting your worth, and choosing healing that actually lasts.

In this episode, Anna challenges hustle culture and reframes rest as a powerful productivity tool and health necessity. She explains how chronic overwork and lack of sleep can dysregulate hormones, weaken the immune system, and increase emotional reactivity—especially for women whose biology requires cyclical rest. Drawing on Barbara O'Neill's "8 hours rest / 8 hours work / 8 hours play" framework, she offers practical tips for improving sleep quality and using visualization and breathing techniques to wind down. The episode closes with an invitation to rethink daily rhythms so that rest, work, and play are all honored.
Key Points
- Rest is productive, not lazy
- Hustle culture can harm health
- Women's biology needs cyclical rest
- Immune system depends on sleep
- Chronic sleep loss raises illness risk
- Emotional reactivity can signal fatigue
- Aim for 8 hrs rest / 8 work / 8 play
- Make bedroom dark, quiet, and cool
- No electronics 1 hour before bed
- Consider blue-light blocking tools
- Use cooling pads if you overheat
- Try deep breathing before sleep
- Visualize safe, familiar places
- Visualize future goals in detail
- Reassess how you spend your 24 hours

In this episode, you explain how thoughts are not harmless but act as biochemical instructions that can either support healing or keep the body stuck in stress and illness. You connect mindset with physiology—stress hormones, sleep, inflammation, and even gene expression—and encourage listeners to consciously choose more supportive inner dialogue, explore epigenetics (e.g., Dr. Bruce Lipton's work), and consider coaching to rewire their neural networks.
Key Points
- Thoughts act as biochemical instructions in the body
- Chronic negative self-talk raises stress hormones (e.g., cortisol)
- High cortisol disrupts melatonin and healthy sleep
- Negative thinking keeps the body inflamed and blocks healing
- Inner dialogue is as important as nutrition and supplements
- Beliefs can shape physiological outcomes and health
- Thoughts and environment influence gene expression (epigenetics)
- The reticular activating system (RAS) filters reality to match beliefs
- Reframing with "What if that wasn't true?" opens new perspectives
- Choosing positive thoughts helps healing vs. staying sick and stuck
- Coaching can help rewire neural networks and shift mindset

In this episode, we explore why you can be eating clean, working out, and taking all the right supplements yet still not feel well. Anna explains how unresolved emotional stress keeps the body from feeling safe, which blocks physical healing. You'll learn why safety cues, breathwork, and coaching support are crucial for deeper, lasting healing beyond diet and exercise.
Key Points:
- Doing "all the right" health habits but still feel unwell
- Body won't heal when it doesn't feel emotionally safe
- Unresolved emotional stress suppresses immune function
- Stress slows tissue repair and workout recovery
- Brain prioritizes survival over healing and recovery
- Safety cues are essential for healing (trauma-informed view)
- Breathwork helps release stored emotional stress
- Coaching provides guidance, support, and accountability
- Visualization used to help the body feel safe to heal
- Anna shares personal journey of "perfect" habits but inner struggle
- Invitation to seek support and not do the inner work alone
- Healing is a journey; it's not instant but accelerates once you start

In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between your gut, stress, and emotions. Anna explains how anxiety and chronic stress can disrupt the gut-brain axis, damage immune function in the gut, and show up as bloating and digestive issues. You'll learn simple daily practices and supportive supplements that help calm the nervous system, restore gut lining, and address both the emotional and physical sides of gut healing.
Key Points
- Stress and anxiety strongly affect gut health
- Gut-brain axis communicates via the vagus nerve
- Fight-or-flight state disrupts digestion and heart rhythm
- Deep breathing, humming, and singing support vagus nerve
- Most anxious clients also have digestive/gut issues
- Gut often reflects emotional stress and life strain
- Simple daily practice: barefoot in grass + deep breathing
- Sunlight exposure (5–10 min) helps regulate the body
- Lemon balm (in Calm You) gently calms the nervous system
- Solar plexus chakra links digestion and emotional processing
- Emotional work must accompany supplements for true healing
- Bloat List You formula supports gut lining (with mastic gum)
- Stress can weaken gut lining over time
- Combining lifestyle tools + Calm You + Bloat List You is recommended

In this episode, Anna explains why what we label as "laziness" is often actually burnout and nervous system overload. She shares her own experience of hitting a wall after years of high productivity, describes how chronic stress keeps us stuck in survival mode, and outlines simple, science-backed ways to regulate the nervous system. Listeners are encouraged to see burnout as a biological state—not a character flaw—and to reclaim energy through rest, boundaries, and basic self-care.
Key Points
- Burnout is a nervous system issue, not a character flaw
- Mindset matters at first, then stress becomes a physical response
- Chronic stress keeps you in sympathetic "fight-or-flight" mode
- Symptoms: exhaustion, no joy, low motivation, poor sleep
- Burnout can impact digestion, immunity, focus, and metabolism
- Anna shares personal story of overworking and hitting a wall
- People-pleasing and fear of disappointing others fuel burnout
- Regulation, not "more discipline," is what you actually need
- Be mindful who you spend time with—some drain, some energize
- Step back from draining people and obligations when needed
- Protect your schedule and take real time off to reset
- Prioritize basics: sleep, healthy food, movement, sunlight
- Do 2–3 minutes of deep breathing first thing in the morning
- Morning breathwork can reduce reactivity throughout the day
- Feeling "lazy" may be your nervous system asking for rest

In this episode of "Lessons I Didn't Expect to Learn," Anna reflects on how losing her grandmother reshaped her understanding of success. Instead of measuring life by revenue and achievements, she explores family time, presence, and connection as the metrics that really matter. Through a tender story of her grandmother's final days, she shares how grief led her to redesign her life around proximity to loved ones and choosing memories over milestones.
Key Points:
- Success is often measured by numbers, not connection
- Loss of grandmother prompted deep reflection on priorities
- Final visit with grandmother became a cherished, intentional goodbye
- Grandmother valued experiences and relationships over accomplishments
- Her gift was making others feel seen and special
- Realization: family time must be prioritized now, not "when life calms down"
- Decision to create homes in Michigan and California for family proximity
- No amount of success can replace missed family moments
- Listeners urged to ask: "Who am I building this for?"
- A life well lived: connection is central, not an afterthought
- There's always another email or sale—but not always another chance to see a loved one

In this episode of "Lessons I Didn't Expect to Learn", Anna explores how reframing disappointment as information rather than a personal failure can be deeply freeing—especially for people pleasers. By recognizing that many disappointments reflect others' capacities, fears, and seasons (not our worth), we can release self-blame, soften resentment, and respond with more clarity, peace, and self-compassion.
Key Points:
- Disappointment isn't personal; it's information
- We often over-own disappointments that aren't ours
- Many disappointments reflect others' stress, fear, and limits
- Shifting perspective reduces shame and self-criticism
- Disappointment can reveal capacity and alignment in relationships
- People pleasers tend to internalize others' dissatisfaction
- You can't be everything for everyone
- Some disappointments are your responsibility—and you can own them
- Others' reactions are not a verdict on your worth
- Ask: "What is this situation showing me?" (no story attached)
- Clarity brings peace and reduces self-blame
- Viewing disappointment as data supports self-love and compassion

In this episode, Anna explores the uncomfortable reality that hitting big goals doesn't always bring the fulfillment we expect. She shares candid stories about giving keynotes that didn't feel authentic, how borrowing others' "success frameworks" shook her nervous system, and why tying worth to achievement leads to restlessness and anxiety. The conversation centers on reclaiming authenticity, listening to the body's signals, and examining whether our goals are truly ours or shaped by others' expectations.
Key Points:
- Success can feel empty even when goals are met
- Fulfillment is not guaranteed by achievement
- Self-worth must be separate from results
- Constant "next level" chasing is exhausting
- Using others' frameworks can dilute authenticity
- A keynote based on someone else's style "did not land"
- Misalignment can trigger nervous system distress
- Panic and anxiety amplified by inauthentic success
- Take advice, but don't abandon your own blueprint
- Other people's goals can reshape your original vision
- Reflect on whether a goal was truly yours
- Ask what feeling you hoped the goal would create
- The body's signals are important data, not a flaw
- Misaligned success is an invitation to deeper self-inquiry
- True success is rooted in purpose, not ego or validation

In this episode, Anna reflects on the moment she realized she didn't need another program, course, or coach—she needed to live what she already knew. She explores the subtle shift from endlessly preparing and collecting frameworks to actually integrating, embodying, and trusting her own wisdom. This is a gentle call, especially to high achievers, to step back from constant "doing," embrace stillness, honor their values, and become the work instead of buying more of it.
Key Points:
- Realizing it's time to live the work, not buy more of it
- Love of growth can become a distraction from embodiment
- Pattern of always preparing but never fully "arriving"
- Not lacking information—lacking integration and trust
- True work requires stillness, slowness, and discipline
- Transformation often looks unglamorous and repetitive
- Integrity, alignment, and presence aren't what gets "sold"

In this episode, we explore why hiring the "right" people or reaching big milestones doesn't automatically create the inner fulfillment we imagine. Anna shares how chasing external solutions, experts, and next steps led to a powerful wake-up call: true clarity, alignment, and purpose can't be outsourced. You'll hear reflections on confusing productivity with alignment, the emptiness of goals set by others, and the importance of slowing down, trusting your timing, and returning to your own inner compass.
Key Points:
- You can't outsource fulfillment
- Experts can't give you inner alignment
- Productivity ≠ true alignment
- Outward success can still feel empty
- Emptiness is a sign of misalignment
- Many "goals" are set by others' expectations
- The journey of self-discovery is ongoing
- Build and hire from authenticity, not fear
- You are not behind in your journey
- Trust timing and enjoy the process

In this episode, Anna reflects on a powerful realization: no amount of hiring, delegating, or expert support can replace the inner work of finding clarity, alignment, and fulfillment. Even when everything looks "right" on the outside—team, investments, progress—if it's not aligned internally, achievements can feel strangely empty. The episode explores the difference between productivity and true alignment, the danger of chasing goals set by others, and the importance of slowing down, trusting timing, and returning to your own inner compass.
Key Points:
- You can't outsource your fulfillment
- Experts and hires can't give you inner clarity
- Productivity is not the same as alignment
- Outward success can hide inner misalignment
- Emptiness after achieving goals signals misalignment
- Many goals are unconsciously set by others' expectations
- The journey of self-discovery never really ends
- True growth must come from authenticity, not fear
- You are not behind; timing is unique to you
- Slow down, breathe, and trust where you are now

In this episode, we explore how our thoughts directly influence our biology through stress chemistry, epigenetics, and neuroplasticity. Drawing on the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton, the conversation reframes illness as something we can influence through our mindset. You'll hear practical tools—like better questions, emotional anchor words, and healing visualizations—to shift from chronic stress into a state of safety, gratitude, and calm, so your thoughts send healing signals instead of stress signals to your body.
Key Points:
- Thoughts act as biochemical instructions to the body
- Illness is not only aging or genetics; mindset matters
- Negative thoughts trigger stress chemicals like real danger
- Neuroplasticity: repeated thoughts strengthen brain pathways
- Chronic worry and self-criticism lock in stress patterns
- Choosing optimism trains the brain to see what's good
- Replace "Why me?" with "What does my body need now?"
- Problem-solving questions calm the nervous system
- Pick a daily emotional anchor word (e.g., calm, safe)
- Anchor words help lower stress hormones
- Use vivid visualization of your body healing and flowing
- The brain responds to imagined events like real ones
- You always have a choice: stress signals or healing signals

In this episode, explains how stress is not only a mental experience but a physical one that shows up in your gut, hormones, and immune system. Emphasizes that the body follows the mind, and that chronic stress pushes the body into survival mode, blocking healing—even if you're taking high-quality supplements. Shares simple, practical tools to regulate your nervous system, including breathwork, nature time, and naming your emotions, so you can move from survival into a state where true healing is possible.
Key Points:
- Stress lives in the body, not just the mind
- Chronic stress disrupts digestion and gut microbiome
- Stress increases systemic inflammation
- Prolonged stress weakens thyroid, hormones, immunity
- Supplements alone can't heal a stressed-out body
- Mindset work is foundational for real healing
- Regulate your nervous system while you supplement
- Use affirmations to shift perception and state
- Breathwork is a core tool to calm the body
- Morning slow, intentional breathing sets the tone for the day
- Improved heart rate variability linked to slow breathing
- Spend time in nature to reduce stress load
- Name your emotions ("I feel overwhelmed/anxious")
- Labeling emotions calms the amygdala (fear center)
- We don't heal by just pushing harder
- Healing happens in a safe, de-stressed state
- The body follows what the mind believes and repeats
- Seek support and help; don't carry it all alone
- Use breath, movement, and nature to support your nervous system

Key Points:
- Symptoms = body's responses, not failures
- Thoughts influence hormones, gut, immunity, inflammation
- Brain reacts similarly to real and perceived threats
- Awareness of thoughts helps calm the nervous system
- Slow breathing with longer exhales activates vagus nerve
- Language shifts (e.g., "I choose to") change how you feel
- Compassionate self-talk supports healing
- Your body is asking for support, not failing you

In this short year-end reflection, Dr. Anna Marie shares three powerful lessons from 2025:
- The answers are within you – Why thousands spent on coaches, shamans, and courses ultimately pointed her back to her own inner wisdom.
- Keep your authenticity – How following other people's blueprints (in speaking, business, and selling) pulled her out of alignment—and what it took to return to her unique soul blueprint.
- You are the medicine – How shifting your thoughts can rapidly change your biochemistry, move you from fear to expansion, and help you live from love, peace, and integrity.
She also briefly shares her favorite brain, gut, and calming supplements and invites listeners into her 1:1 Quantum Body Energy Code Coaching Program to align mind, body, and energy with the future they desire.

You don't communicate just with words. You communicate with presence, tone, and how well you listen.
This conversation invites you to slow down and notice how awareness and alignment shape every exchange, whether at home or at work. When you learn to listen without preparing a response, trust starts to build on its own.
You also get a clearer look at different communication styles and how simple shifts like using I statements or allowing silence can change the outcome of a conversation. The more you understand yourself, the easier it becomes to meet others where they are. Communication stops being about control and starts becoming a connection.

If money has ever felt heavy, confusing, or out of reach, it's not about your bank account. It's about how you relate to your own value. This conversation challenges the idea that wealth lives outside you and shows how fulfillment, creativity, and self trust shape the opportunities that show up in your life.
You hear stories that flip the script, from a mystic who gives away a diamond to a business deal that turns around the moment alignment replaces effort. When you stop questioning your worth and start honoring it, work becomes an exchange of energy, not sacrifice. Wealth follows when you trust yourself enough to receive it.

Your body is always listening to your thoughts. When your mind is rushed or stressed, digestion slows and energy drops. When you slow down, listen inward, and act with gratitude, your body responds. This conversation explores how coherence and alignment shape your health more than any single protocol or plan.
You hear how breath, visualization, and imagination can shift your nervous system and unlock real physical change. The brain becomes your own pharmacy, guided by neuroplasticity and inner knowing rather than outside noise. When you trust yourself and practice presence, health stops being something you chase and starts being something you create.

In this episode, we explore the power of the Inner Teacher—the gentle, loving inner guidance that reconnects you to your own truth. Rather than searching externally for answers, true alignment comes from turning inward and learning to deeply listen.
We break down how intuition is an inner knowing that arrives softly and quickly, often felt in the gut or heart, and how the mind tends to overtake it when we don't listen. The conversation highlights why inner guidance is essential for coherence, alignment, and living in flow.
We also reframe manifestation, shifting it from "doing more" to a state of remembering and alignment—recognizing that what you seek already exists within you. True healing and peace come from addressing not just the physical body, but also the mind, spirit, and energy.
Finally, we share simple practices to help you reconnect with your inner truth, relax your nervous system, and access intuitive guidance more easily.

You know those conversations you keep putting off because they feel heavy or tense? This talk gives you a clearer way through them. Mathew Blades explains why tough conversations trigger anxiety and why they matter even more when the person is someone you'll have to face again. You hear how "I" statements, honest intentions, and simple clarity can shift the whole tone. And you learn why giving someone space to process can be more effective than pushing for instant resolution.
You also get a practical look at how to lead the conversation instead of reacting to it. Role-playing, knowing what outcome you want, and assuming the other person didn't mean harm help you stay grounded. By the end, you see that hard conversations don't have to drain you. They can open the door to understanding, peace, and healthier relationships.

You don’t need to overhaul your life to feel better!
Start with one small habit each week and watch how 52 tiny changes stack up in a year. Dr. Anna Marie Frank calls it the “add in method,” and it can touch everything from your mood to your bank account. Think simple: stretch while you wait for your coffee, step outside in the morning light, sip more water, take short breathing breaks, and jot down what you’re grateful for.
Even your finances get a boost when you shift perspective. Redirecting just $5 a day could mean $1,800 by the end of the year. It’s about trading quick wins for lasting value and showing up for your future self in small but powerful ways. One upgrade at a time, you start to see the bigger picture—and the bigger payoff.

You can have the dream job, the big contract, the public recognition—and still feel empty.
That’s what Matthew Blade faced after 28 years in radio and TV. The real breakdown came with a panic attack and a gut-level truth: something deeper needed to change.
What followed wasn’t a pivot—it was a full reset. Rehab, honesty, and a commitment to healing past wounds, including reconnecting with his mother before she passed. Now, he helps others—podcasters, youth athletes, and even inmates—find their voice and purpose beyond performance. If you’ve been chasing success and still feel lost, this story might hit close to home.

What if anxiety isn’t something to fight, but something to work with?
Dr. David Rosmarin believes anxiety is a natural emotion, not a disorder to fix. He shares a simple four-step process that helps you stop running from it: get honest about the cause, talk to someone, lean into the feeling, and drop the need to control everything.
He also explains how tech, pressure, and even well-meaning parenting have made anxiety more intense for all of us, especially kids. If you're tired of trying to “get rid of” anxiety and ready to handle it differently, this conversation offers a healthier way through.

About Martin Pytela:
Martin Pytela, a respected functional medicine expert and Metabolic Typing coach, is dedicated to "Restoring Vitality to You and the Planet."

Linda Ugelow, a speaking confidence and vocal coach, to discuss her journey from struggling with public speaking to becoming a guide for others in overcoming their own fears. Linda shares her story, beginning with her career as a dancer and musician in a women’s world music group, where she excelled in performance but grappled with introducing songs from the stage. Despite her extensive background in expressive arts, Linda’s fear of public speaking persisted until she found herself facing it head-on in the emerging world of live-streaming with Periscope.
Through determination and self-reflection, Linda began her quest to conquer her fear, experimenting with common techniques like meditation, affirmations, and deep breathing. However, she soon realized that simply managing her fear wasn’t enough—she wanted to eliminate it completely. In a breakthrough moment, Linda uncovered deep-rooted memories that had taught her it was unsafe to be in the spotlight, which she was able to address using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), visualization, and forgiveness exercises.
By tapping into these root causes, Linda transformed her anxiety and embraced a new career path: helping others overcome their speaking fears. Now, as a confidence coach, she equips her clients with practical tools and insights for letting go of stage fright and stepping into their true voice.

In this episode, we welcome Justin, founder of New Frontier Consulting, to discuss the power of coaching, accountability, and finding purpose in professional and personal growth. From his beginnings on a Kansas farm, through roles in pastoral work and personal training, Justin shares his journey of discovering his calling in coaching. His work now focuses on guiding small business owners to scale from “stuck” to “thriving.”

He talks about how accountability is crucial for consistent growth, emphasizing that it’s not just about knowing what to do, but consistently doing it.

By focusing on the four M’s of business: Mindset, Management, Marketing, and Money, Justin helps business owners identify their limitations and overcome them. His clients learn to think like business owners instead of employees, develop and lead people well, reach their target audience, and build long-term wealth.

In this episode, we dive into Part 3 of the Stop Bullying Yourself series, focusing on reflection and learning from the past. We explore how blaming others or circumstances keeps us stuck in a victim mentality, and how we can reclaim our power by taking personal responsibility.
We highlight the “Value Gain Exercise,” which helps turn difficult experiences into valuable lessons that guide better future decisions. By recognizing patterns in our personal struggles, like failed relationships or setbacks, we can align our choices with our values.
This episode encourages moving past self-sabotage and using lessons from the past to build a more fulfilling, self-aware future.

In this episode, we explore Part 3 of the Stop Bullying Yourself series: reflection and learning from your past to own your future. This chapter is about recognizing how we often stay stuck in a victim mentality, blaming our past, circumstances, or others for our struggles. But it also offers a way out—how we can choose to take personal responsibility and reclaim our power by learning from those experiences.
We discuss the importance of shifting from a blame mindset to one that extracts value from the tough times. Using the “Value Gain Exercise,” we look at how traumatic or difficult situations can offer powerful lessons, helping us grow and make better choices moving forward. By reflecting on personal experiences—like failed relationships or professional setbacks—we can begin to see patterns and start making decisions that align more with our values and self-worth.
Through this discussion, we focus on how our past doesn't define us but can empower us to create a more fulfilling future. This episode encourages listeners to move away from self-sabotage and embrace the lessons from their past as stepping stones to a better, more self-aware life.

In this episode, we dive into part 2 of Stop Bullying Yourself series: happiness, and success, focusing on the inner bully—the voice in your head that both motivates you and sabotages your ability to enjoy success. This chapter highlights how we often give that voice too much attention and power, but also how we can choose to think and act differently. We discuss the importance of holistic health over a reductionist approach, drawing inspiration from the concept of systems thinking. Using the “Happy Holistic Matrix,” we examine the balance of all aspects of life—relationships, spiritual health, hobbies—and reflect on personal experiences, like realizing how work-life imbalance can affect well-being. Through this discussion, we emphasize the need to reconnect, become aware of the bigger picture, and prioritize the important areas of life that often get neglected.

What exactly is this inner voice that criticizes and holds us back, even when we achieve success? It’s the voice that tells us we’re not good enough, that we need to keep pushing harder, and that our efforts will never be enough.
In this episode, I take a deep dive into the origins and behaviors of the inner bully, how it shapes our mindset, and why it often gets louder when we should be celebrating our accomplishments. You'll also learn about the Trashcan Activity—a hands-on exercise from my book, Stop Bullying Yourself, that allows you to physically and mentally release toxic thoughts, habits, and even relationships. This simple, yet powerful activity helps create a shift by combining a strong intention with a physical action to let go of what's no longer serving you.

Hey there, Happy Whole You fam! It's great to be back with a bonus episode, even after I thought the last recording for 2023 would be the finale. So, here's the deal – I recently got the chance to chat about New Year's resolutions on ABC 17 News at Sunrise, and it got me reflecting on the whole habit-building journey. You know, about 44% of folks dive into New Year's resolutions, and it's pretty much a 50/50 split between success and, well, not-so-much success. Habits, they say, take anywhere from 18 to 254 days to stick, and they make up a solid 40% of our daily actions. That's where my brainchild, the "Add In Method," comes into play. It's all about incorporating small habits every week throughout the year, accumulating to over 50 new habits annually. If you're curious about the 2024 Add In Method calendar, shoot us an email. I developed this method because, truth be told, I used to be terrible with those traditional New Year's resolutions – gone by February, every single time. The Add In Method, though, focuses on that slow, consistent build-up of small actions over time, yielding major results. In this episode, I break down five key factors that have been game-changers for me when it comes to creating and sticking to habits. So, if you're gearing up for a fantastic 2024, give this episode a listen and share it with someone who could use a boost in the habit-building department. Looking forward to sharing more insights in the upcoming year – let's make it an incredible one together!
“In the journey of building habits, remember: change your environment, focus on actions, reduce friction where needed, increase it where helpful, and reward yourself with those dopamine hits.”
- Incorporate small habits weekly for over 50 new habits yearly
- Make unwanted behaviors challenging
- Make desired behaviors easier
- Create a healthy reward system
- Strategic planning and mindset shifts are crucial for successful habit-building

Hey everyone, it's been an incredible journey on the Happy Whole You Podcast, and I'm so grateful you're here for our last episode of 2023 as we step into 2024. I've got my notes in front of me because there's so much I want to share today. Reflecting on 2023, I realized the importance of pausing and taking inventory. Life allows us to rewrite our stories, change our paths, and course-correct at any moment. Despite feeling rushed in 2023 with the expansion of Happy Whole You, I took a moment to reflect on the 20 things that truly impacted me this year. From logging over 200 volunteer hours to completing my PhD, growing my business, and traveling to various places, these experiences shaped my journey. As we dive into making New Year's resolutions stick, I shared tips like creating new habits, saying goals out loud, and banishing the all-or-nothing mentality. Remember, it's about progress, not perfection. So, here's to an amazing 2024 filled with growth, joy, and success for all of us. Thank you for being part of this journey, and until next time, take care and stay whole!

- Importance of taking a pause and rewriting one's story for the new year

In this podcast episode, I have a fascinating conversation with an esteemed holistic health expert and author of "Why You Are Still Sick", Dr. Gary Kaplan. We delve into the significance of a strong immune system, especially as we approach the fall season. We also explore their journey in writing the book, driven by the aim to address chronic health issues like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and neuro-inflammatory diseases. We discuss the challenges of battling misdiagnoses and the importance of sleep for overall health, highlighting sleep apnea and narcolepsy management. The complex relationship between childhood trauma, immunity, inflammation, and mental health is revealed. Additionally, we stress integrative approaches involving gut health, mold toxicity, heavy metal exposure, and immune system functionality. This conversation concludes with a call to prioritize health and explore holistic strategies for enduring well-being.
“Pacing, not pushing is extremely important and you want to be respectful to yourself and the process of exercise or anything else you do. So anything worth doing is not worth doing to access.”

In today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Fred Moss, a psychiatrist who challenges conventional approaches to mental health. Dr. Fred shares his journey from traditional psychiatry to his unique "undoctoring" approach. He reflects on his early fascination with communication and how it led him to the field. He discusses the pitfalls of medicating mental illness and the unintended consequences of pharmaceutical solutions. Dr. Fred’s pivotal moment in 2006, where he began helping patients taper off medications, is highlighted. He explores how mental illness varies across cultures and challenges the universal concept of diagnosis. Dr. Fred encourages listeners to consider alternative perspectives, embrace personal empowerment, and think critically about mental health narratives.
“It is such a rare event to find satisfaction in life. And if you feel like you've gotten what you've gotten in a way that is satisfactory to you in the mental health world, I am not suggesting that you should change horses in midstream at all.”

In this podcast episode, Dr. Kirsten will discuss the importance of protecting the brain and increasing blood flow for neural protection. She emphasizes the power of calming the mind and transitioning to a relaxed state. Creating a calm environment is highlighted, with dimmable lights, pleasant scents, and calming music recommended. She also talks about the impact of a calm state on children's well-being and the benefits of starting the day in a calm state. The significance of hydration is discussed, with the suggestion of drinking fresh organic green juice for brain health. She emphasizes the simplicity and accessibility of these brain health hacks and encourage listeners to incorporate them into their daily routines.
“Over time, as we age, you might start to leach minerals from your bones to help keep the pH of the blood balance. So, one of the best ways to combat that is just a green juice every day. You're replenishing and remineralizing so that you don't need to actually leach those from the bones and you don't have osteoporosis. The bigger pitch not just for the brain, but for the body.”

In this episode, we bring you a lively discussion with Sue Watson, a dear friend who has had a profound impact on our lives. We delve into the story of how we met, initially unsure of our connection but later realizing the value of finding our close circle of friends. Sue's guidance has pushed us personally and professionally, and she's known for holding us accountable and pointing out when we stray from our commitments. We explore the importance of being truthful and honest with ourselves, as well as the power of having a friend who sets high standards for growth. Together, we unpack the concept of rackets, which are recurring complaints that persist due to underlying payoffs. We discuss how rackets keep us in victim mode and hinder our well-being, satisfaction, and vitality. Sharing personal examples, we emphasize the need to question and overcome our rackets, focusing on what we truly want rather than perpetuating complaints. Tune in to this enlightening episode as we challenge you to reflect on your own rackets and discover the costs they may have on your life.
“If you're a person whose word can be trusted, then you can create anything for yourself and your life and your business. Because your brain already knows that your word can be trusted.

I'm going to read from my own book in this episode, and while I do, I want you to know that I'm doing it out of appreciation for all the people who helped me write the book but who probably didn't get much credit for it. There are so many people that contributed and there are so many souls. The books' title is "Stop Bullying Yourself: Identify Your Inner Bully, Get Out of Your Own Journey & Enjoy Greater Health, Wealth, Happiness and Success." We all make mistakes along the way and can fall or stumble, but the important thing is to decide to get back up. And ultimately, the goal of the book is to silence the inner bully—the voice in each of our heads that tells us we're not good enough and that we need to keep working harder—that tells us to keep trying.
“Remember, develop yourself, build skills, and challenge yourself. Don't get caught up in the wishing game looking outward for perfection or your inner bully will control your life.”

Today, I want to talk values with you. I'll tell you about my personal experiences with negative downloads. As an adult, whatever negative downloads we may have may not make sense, let me remind you of that. However, it involves looking back and immersing oneself in the circumstance of your childhood. And as you go through that, just kind of sit there, feel it out, and see what comes up for you. That's what I did as well. And in this experience, that's what I encountered. Independence, having my own means of transportation, and being able to do and go whatever I need to whenever I need to were the values in the game. Learn a lot from this episode and enjoy!

I wanted to talk to you today about the vibrations and frequencies that your emotions actually carry, which have an effect on your general wellbeing and physical health. As a result, you've probably heard people say to raise your vibration, frequency, and energy if you've heard of frequencies and energy. And I just wanted to discuss how living in fear and concern leads to a life of contraction rather than expansion. In light of that, I wanted to share with you the three feelings that lead to higher self-awareness and more enlightenment. Tune in and enjoy!
“Once you shift your frequency and your vibration to really start to change what's going on within you so everything around you start to change.”
- The lowest vibrational frequencies are shame and guilt
- The future of medicine will be the medicine of frequencies and vibration.
- When you shift your vibration, everything around you will change

You may find out more about it by watching this episode!

But I wanted to take a moment to share with you some of the lessons I've learned so far from all 100 episodes. I'll therefore attempt to keep it short. Enjoy the journey!

What is the prime reason underlying our birth? What brings us here? What is this sacred agreement we are engaged in? I think that everyone has a soul contract that ultimately determines our purpose for being on Earth. And I believe that if we can find enough silence, our souls can detect it. And I believe that when we realize it, we experience that feeling of knowing exactly what to do.
“When we're seeking things outside of ourself, we're seeking ultimately the wants versus embracing what we already have within us.”
- What is the purpose of why we are here?
- What is it that you want with your life?
- How do you know if you’re on the right path?

For today’s episode, I'll discuss biofeedback, one of the main modalities I utilize to assess the fundamentals of my clients' health. I'm going to explain what biofeedback is, some of its advantages, and just a little bit about it. You've certainly heard of biofeedback, but you might not be sure what it is. The addition of this biofeedback technology and the way we use it at Happy Whole You have been incredibly beneficial in assisting people in better understanding their health, putting them at ease by providing them with answers, and giving them a sense of direction.
“The more knowledge we can gather, and the more we know, then now we can do take action, and when we know better, we can do better.”
- The definition of what biofeedback really is
- Giving us a great picture of what's going on with a client's health from a foundational standpoint

Today I'm going to discuss how to reprogram your cells with you. There are many factors that can affect our biology and ourselves, and this is just through your ideas. But today, I'm going to address your thoughts and how they affect your body, your energy field, and ultimately, how you express emotions in the outside world. A single thought we have has the power to alter our own vibration. And we may achieve this by reprogramming our thought patterns, which will enable us to alter our own vibration. Additionally, changing a pessimistic perspective to an optimistic one can have a profound impact on your body.
“Shift how we are thinking and what we are thinking, because every thought carries that specific vibration that can reprogram the biochemical makeup of our body”
- How you can shift what you’re thinking
- Every NO is a one step closer to your YES
- It’s important that we start to program over those imprints with what it is that we do want

I'm going to discuss why we should take supplements today. I wanted to break out a little bit of information for you, just to talk about how different drugs may lead you to become deficient in specific nutrients, as well as a little bit of USDA history, and then just go into a few products that are very lacking nutrients in our food system.
“Older consumers pay more than half of the prescription drug expenditure out of pocket than everyone else so the older you're getting, the more you are being prescribed medications.”
- History of USDA
- Find out more about SSRIs
- What are you missing in your diet?
I'm going to talk about something I'm quite enthusiastic about in today's episode. And this is because to my personal journey and how I came to be in nature, apathy, and what I do for a career, which is to work with individuals holistically to help them develop their foundations of health.
“I am not against western medicine at all. What I am against is this one size fits all programming I'm also against this whole idea that there's a pill for every ill, if you will, in terms of medications”
- Preventative care
- What gave birth to modern medicine?
- A brief history of what shaped medicine today

For today’s episode, we have Bob Doyle who is well recognized for his work on The Secret, both the film and the book. As a result, he is an expert and coach in the law of attraction. Since 1998, he's been teaching these principles through television shows, live events, podcasts, live streaming, writing, and virtual reality. His work is largely focused on helping people select who they want to be and how they want to express themselves, and he is driven by his passion for creative self-expression. Bob's focus has lately switched from mystical parts of the law of attraction or the reality creation process to a more grounded biology look at what governs our experiences, which is our brain, so I'm thrilled to share him with you today.
“We don't know who we are. And it's not going to happen to us. But all of that can be unraveled.”
- Awareness about rewiring the brain
- What is an autopilot zone?
- Identifying the patterns

For today’s episode, we have Dr. Patti Gonzalez who is a mom and business owner who is married to a talented designer. She is a retired chiropractor who built, scaled and sold her chiropractic practice generating over $2 million in sales. She now empowers driven women to say goodbye to overwhelm, burnout & frustration to find their joy, success & fulfillment through Alignment Coaching. And today, we are going to talk about success. Success is different for everybody and everyone has their own definition of it. Tune in to this episode and find out more about Dr. Patti!
“Don't forget that your version of success has to be in alignment with you. And if it's not, then you can push it away. You don't have to listen to all the other voices around you. You get to listen to your voice, find out what's yelling the loudest on the inside. And then run after that. And then refine, refine, refine, because that's the beauty of it. You get to decide this is your life. And you get to decide on how you show up and to what success is to you.”
- What are some things women need to be aware of as they're embarking upon their journey and setting goals and finding their own way through success?
- We don't give ourselves enough time to just connect and listen, because there is so much noise around us.
- Showing up differently in your personal life

For today’s episode, we're going to talk about different things to avoid foods that you could eat more of herbs that are supporting your thyroid, but we're mostly going to focus on hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. One thing I do want to share any issues with the thyroid, whether it be nodules, whether it be enlargement of the thyroid, all happens within your throat chakra. And so just remember, even though I'm gonna go over more of the physical aspect of the thyroid today, and different testing, and results from blood work, just know that there is an emotional component to the thyroid and the thyroid either being overactive or underactive, and that is another element that we can get into down the road.
“If we could start with some foods to avoid foods, to include more of knowing what herbs can be supportive of we can start there. And then you know, getting into the energetics of expressing ourselves and voicing how we feel about things. All of these can be supportive in terms of the healing process.”

We all have these stories that we make up in our minds of different things. And sometimes it's really just that it's a story, it's not really what's real.

For today’s episode, I'm going to share with you something that I have been working on namely QBEC which stands for Quantum Body Energy Coding. Tune in and learn so much about it!

For today’s episode, I will talk about emotional blockages. This is something that impacts me and mostly all of my clients and it probably impacts you too! And this is the fact that we have emotional blockages that get stored in our body, and they can manifest into physical ailments later in life. We also have different organ systems in the body. So today, I want to go over with you some of the organ systems, some emotional blockages that can be associated with those or emotions, and then also physical aspects of the body and different blockages that could be there.

What I wanted to talk about for today’s episode is something that has been brought to my attention quite a bit in my own life, and even more recently, and it was something that used to make me feel bad about myself and now it's something that I find annoying. You know, this thing that people put out that they're living a certain lifestyle, that they have this certain amount of success, a certain amount of money. And they're putting out there, these false images, and just all this energy that essentially you need to do what they're doing, because or you're going to miss the boat, this is the next big thing, or you're not going to make the money or you need to do something like how they're doing it. But is success really supposed to be this way? Find out about it in this episode!
“When it comes to having an all, we can have all but we can't have it all at once. And when we are choosing one thing, we are essentially saying no to another because that's just how it is right? We can't be in five places at once. And there's tradeoffs, and there are balances. And so really life is a bunch of tradeoffs is what ends up happening.”

In today’s episode, I’m going to talk to you about Vitamin D and what it does for our body. And the main thing that vitamin D does is it helps us regulate the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the gut. Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral behind calcium in the body. And phosphorus helps us utilize carbs and fats and ultimately helps with moving muscles. And it helps also with making proteins that help with repairing cells and tissues, and it helps to remove waste within tissues in the body. I will also talk about some health conditions that can lower your phosphorous count. Find out more about it in today’s episode!

Most everything you do is done based on how you feel. You sleep in because you feel tired. You eat junk food because you feel entitled or you deserve it (for whatever reason). You shop because you feel you deserve something new. You get upset with our boss because he hurt your feelings. You skip a workout because you feel overwhelmed with everything going on. You choose a job that makes you feel safe. You choose activities that make you feel comfortable and confident. All these reactions are inspired by emotions. What if you shifted your mindset and started thinking – not feeling – before making decisions? What if you trusted yourself and stopped trusting your emotions? Do you think this is possible?
I want you to stop the “feeling – then – reacting” pattern in your life. Yes, feelings are good and have a place but for you to truly be happy and satisfied you need to ask yourself, without feeling, what do I want to become? What is it that you want to become based on your destiny? This may take you some time to figure out but I will tell you this. If you stop acting based on your feelings and start acting based on what you want to truly become you will make better decisions by taking productive action.
For example: If you want to become a successful business owner you will need to draw up a business plan, talk to investors, and maybe take some business classes or look to those doing what you want for direction. Now if you start to feel overwhelmed during this process and you start to feel it is too hard, you will start taking actions that drive you away from your goal. Like, putting off business calls because you just can’t take one more rejection… again your feelings getting in the way. You may choose to sleep in and take the day off because you feel you have done so much and nothing is changing… so what is one day off, right? You make these decisions based on your feelings when you really should be asking yourself, “What do I want to become? Why did I start this? Who do I want to become?” Ask yourself these questions when you start reacting and making decisions based on your emotions. Answer these questions straight to the point and take actions that move you towards your goals and towards the person you want to become.
We stop reminding ourselves of what we want to become because our feelings get in the way and cloud our vision. We all struggle, and when struggle occurs, that is most often when people stop doing the things that were moving them towards their goals. We get sidetracked by our emotions and lose sight of our goals and focus too much on how we feel. This emotional distraction can even occur when we hit a high. We get excited about something that happened and we did so well, then shortly after this high, we stop doing the things that got us to that excitement. This takes us back to our autopilot state and you know what happens there (if you don’t know what autopilot is you must read Stop Bullying Yourself! Available on Amazon in April 10, 2017).
I believe the biggest reason people fail at meeting their business goals and even their health goals, such as, eating healthier and exercising, is because they let their emotions control them. They don’t let the person they want to become be their focal point. They focus on how they feel, what they don’t have, what they are missing out on, when in fact if they focused on who they were becoming and the actions needed to reach their goals they would find success.
Tips to stop letting emotions lead your life:
- Find others that are who you want to become. Proceed with caution as well. It is great to have a mentor but understand that they are not perfect and it was not easy for them either. Be mindful of this.
- We must stop asking our friend who is working as a computer technician how to successfully open a gym. We need to stop asking our family or friends about their diet plans when they too are still overweight, not eating healthy or reaching their goals. We go to those we feel comfortable with instead of going to those who know, who have done, and those who are doing what we want.
- Check your feelings at the door when you are deciding who it is that you want to become. Our feelings will make you choose to be practical and will guide you to choose the easier route. Just think, “Who do I want to become and why?”
- Be okay and proud when you fail at something and look for the lessons, then remind yourself of what you learned and how that is helping you become or achieve your goals.
Remember, true happiness comes out of struggle if and only if, when you were struggling, you did not allow your emotions to dictate you, but you allowed your vision of who you are becoming to drive you and guide you. Look very closely at how your day is dictated. Is it dictated by your emotions or your destiny?
Jealousy is an ugly word surrounded with bad energy. But Jealousy is also a very complex emotion that deserves some unpacking. The interesting part about feeling jealousy is that it forces us to look within and reflect. We feel jealousy for two fundamental reasons. One, we are witnessing a quality within someone else that we are capable of but just haven’t yet achieved it ourselves. And two, jealousy is an emotion based in fear. You can feel jealous of another’s success yet, you are fearful to take the same leap they took to get to that point. You can feel jealous of another’s relationship but you have yet to lay down the foundations for a strong loving relationship because of the fear of rejection or dissatisfaction or disappointment, etc.
Why do we even feel jealousy in the first place? Low self-esteem? Feelings of jealousy can be rooted in the fact that you haven’t done the work to increase your self-esteem to a healthy level. Need I remind you that strong self-esteem is rooted in: seeking and developing positive relationships, eating the right foods, following your higher purpose, exercising, getting enough sleep, practicing good posture, following your dreams, managing your money, moving beyond your past experiences, and being a part of something bigger than yourself! I know it takes a lot to build confidence, so make sure you are always building up and not knocking down.
We must shift jealousy into positive energy. We must shift jealousy into praise and encouragement for that person, all while squashing our fears and taking action towards what we truly desire. See jealousy as a friendly reminder that it’s time to do some emotional health maintenance.
Other words that are similar to jealousy are envy, desire, and resentment. One can understand envy and desire, but resentment? The resentment felt is probably not for that person but for the fact that you are not being the best person you could be or you are not living your true purpose. That resentment is towards ourselves yet we are projecting it onto someone else. Feelings of jealousy should be shifted into feelings of encouragement for you to start living the life you desire.
If you find yourself feeling jealous, ask yourself…
- What do I see in them that I could work on within me?
- What actions can I take in my life to live my higher purpose?
- What is it that I truly need at this moment to feel better? (Do I need more rest, nutrition, water, exercise?)
- Why does this person bring out these emotions in me? What is my lesson here?
- What can I do to improve my self-esteem right now?
- What can I do to build self-esteem in the long-term?
- What is jealousy telling me I need to work on?
Let the feelings of jealousy be a motivation to go deeper within and reflect as to why you actually feel jealous. All jealousy represents is something within you that is not being expressed, accomplished, or discovered for your highest good. Also, practicing mindfulness and keeping a gratitude journal can be great practices to combat the negative feeling of jealousy. Do you have a mindfulness practice? Could you pick up a notebook to journal in?
Go deep, take action, encourage others, and know jealousy is rooted in dark energy to slow you down and block you from your greatness. Unblock yourself! – Anna Marie

In this podcast Anna Marie shares some tips and her thoughts on how we need to “chill” during this difficult time. She shares her “flip-it” mindset. How we should all be looking at the positive during this trying time. Also, she recommends letting go of the idea of homeschooling your child as if you were their public school teach and embrace this opportunity to teach them how YOU see fit. Also, now you have the time to exercise, work on scrapbooks, read the book you have wanted to crack open, and do all the things you have wished you had time for... now is your chance. However, Anna Marie also recognizes those who are still working. Our Heath care industry, our food industry, the women and men working on our roads. Give a moment to thank these people as they are risking their wellbeing for the greater good. Enjoy!

How and why Beauty by Earth was started. Prudence and her partner wanted to start a product line that is clean and affordable. She has a child that needed these clean products and she wanted all people to be able to afford these amazing products. One product can take 2-3 years to bring to market.
Prudence thought she was using safe products but was disappointed to find out not all her products were safe. Labels do not tell you everything you need to know. Marketing can confuse us. All natural doesn’t mean it is safe. Sulfate and paraben free is a great start but there are other ingredients that are not safe.
The top three things Prudence says to look out for when choosing a product. It was hard for her to just pick three things but the three she shared were parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances.
Be aware of the word fragrance on the bottle. Fragrance is toxic and can contain many harmful products. Beauty by Earth sticks to essential oils and fruit and plant extracts only for their fragrances. Companies that have products with “fragrance” in them sometimes don't even know what is truly in that word “fragrance” because it is proprietary to the formulator who created that smell. Simple essential oils smell great and are safe.
Anna Marie shares the product that got her hooked on Beauty by Earth products.... The Self Tanner. It actually works and smells great. The other product is the deodorant.
Let’s talk deodorant. This is a great product to change out and go 100% clean with. Aluminum is in many deodorants and can get into our breast tissue and lymph nodes. Be aware and men can use this. Be aware of “antiperspirant.” Your body naturally detoxes out of the skin and armpits. We do not want to disrupt this.
Switching to clean products can cause a detox effect with the body (which is natural) and a rash and other things happening should not scare you away. Using a mud mask under your armpits can help speed up the detox impact. Give your body time to get back into homeostasis. Give these products some time - they work.
Prudences non-negotiable when it comes to her health. Most of her life she has been aware of natural products. “What goes on and what goes in,” she says are very important. She encourages using a natural health practitioner and getting tests to see what it is your body needs. Also, she added to move your body and eat healthy foods. Her practices are all about her living a quality life.
Being healthy is simple. Drink clean water, eat healthy foods, move your body. How does Prudence protect her brain health? And keep herself from going crazy with knowing what she knows. She tries not to buy packaged foods, fried foods, refined sugars. She also makes sure she has clean products all around. Don’t buy what is not healthy.
Keep your skin clean and hydrated. You don’t need a million products. Don’t put junk on your face and just because something costs a lot doesn't mean it's healthy nor that it works better. It comes down to marketing. Cleaner is not necessarily more expensive. Keep it simple!
Beauty by Earth is serving a higher purpose. In 2020 Beauty by Earth is going to be shooting more videos and sharing information about products to educate their customers. It is important for them to share - why!

Anna Marie loves the brain and it wasn’t until she got her brain right that she started to experience true happiness and success. Your brain uses more oxygen per unit of tissue than any other organ. Your brain also uses more energy per unit of tissue than any other tissue.
Staying hydrated helps your brain function. Students in a study had higher test scores when they brought a water bottle to a test. Keeping your brain hydrated helps improve problem-solving, improves mood, memory, and can help prevent headaches. How much water should you drink? Half your weight in ounces of water daily and add 4-6 ounces for every 15 minutes for exercise you do.
Cut back on the sugar and carbohydrate intake. High carbs and sugar are not a friend to our brain. They impact our brain function. We eat too many carbs in America. You shouldn’t be consuming high carbs and sugars in the morning. Sugar is hidden. The 61 names of sugar are in the link below. 51% of our kiddos lunches are consisting of wheat aka sugar when it is converted into the body.
Sugar is addictive and lights up our reward pathways. Sugar impacts our insulin levels and impacts our mood-boosting neurotransmitter serotonin. When we develop insulin resistance this impairs our neurotransmitters in the brain that depend on insulin to help neurotransmitters. High Carbs and high endurance running left Anna Marie inflamed and depressed. She started to add more proteins and fats into her diet while lowering carb intake and she felt a major shift in her brain and body - towards happiness.
Diets that work well with brain function are lower-carb diets, keto, Mediterranian, and anti-inflammatory. Find what diet works for you and what foods do not cause you to go into an inflammatory response. Skip packaged foods and eat real foods. Try to go for a week without eating packaged foods.
Tips to restore brain health: stay hydrated, limit sugar and carb intake, try supplements. Supplements like curcumin, resveratrol, Ginko, decaffeinated green tea, b-vitamins, and some good omega. Links below in show notes. Also, take time to breathe. Take deep breaths and sometime each day to practice some slow breathing. Lastly, exercise daily to force blood flow to the brain. Try moving the body for two minutes four times a day. Reflect on how your brain and body feel after. You may experience better mental clarity, more energy, and better brain function.

Dr. Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical degree at the University of Maryland and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. For the last seven years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, a nationally recognized center of excellence.
Her avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilize- ing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology, and physiology, this hobby has now become the main focus. The Kaufmann Protocol represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first-ever, comprehensive theory of aging, complete with an explanation of why we age and the tools to decelerate the process.
Dr. Kaufmann has lectured at Raad Fest, People Unlimited, The Church of Perpetual Life and can be heard on talk radio as well as innumerable podcasts such as Ben Greenfield and Bulletproof podcasts.
The interview:
Sandra shares a little bit about herself admitting she doesn't have the best diet but really kicks butt exercising. She started off as a cell biologist but dove into antiaging and found she can decelerate cellular aging. Sandra shares molecular ways to cheat the system. She loves rock climbing
Dr. Kaufmann’s non-negotiable antiaging practices. She shares the 7 ways we age. Check them out here: https://www.kaufmannprotocol.com/7-tenets
Dr. Kaufmann’s five agents she takes that helps with the 7 tenants of aging. Check out her page with all agents and dosages: https://www.kaufmannprotocol.com/doses-links-2
NICOTINAMIDE: General Information Nicotinamide is made naturally in the body, beginning with the amino acid tryptophan. Eight steps later, it is converted into our usable substance, NAD or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. There is also a salvage pathway which is more efficient. It does four things in the body. It helps make energy, What does NAD do? It is crucial for cellular activity. Specifically, it does the following:
1) In mitochondria, it is an essential part of the electron transport chain which is necessary to produce cellular energy.
2) It is necessary for DNA repair. The molecule itself gets disassembled, and its pieces are used as replacement parts in the actual DNA.
3) It provides communication between the nucleus and mitochondria
4) It acts as a necessary Co-factor for the sirtuin family
12:01 We have never eaten well. There has never been a golden age of eating. So supplementing can give us some edge and be a great thing.
Let’s talk Metformin. (WWW.QUALYTUDE.COM to get Metformin) Metformin does so many amazing things
General Information on Metformin:
Earlier use of the base plant, Galega officinalis or the French Lilac, was documented in Medieval Europe as an herbal remedy for diabetic symptoms.
Metformin was officially discovered in 1922. Human studies didn't begin until the 1950s, however. It was then that the French physician Jean Sterne introduced the substance to her countrymen as a prescription medication in 1957. The compound debuted in the United States in 1995. Presently, up to 150 million people are on the agent.
Interest in the medication as an anti-aging agent was peaked by a study released in 2014. Type 2 diabetics on either metformin or sulfuronureas (a different type of glucose controlling agent) were retrospectively compared with non-diabetics on neither of these drugs. Comparing 150,000 people, the type 2 diabetics on metformin had higher survivability. Let me rephrase…The diabetics did better than non-diabetics. In fact, among patients in their 70’s, mortality was reduced by 15% in the metformin group.
Be aware you may need more amino’s and B vitamins when taking Metformin!
Two personal questions Dr. Kaufmann answered. She shared she is in talks with QVC to bring her protocols to people in an easy and cost-effective way. Also, anti-aging starts at the cellular level. Botox and injections are just spackle. They don’t change the infrastructure,

End of 2019 and 2020 is here to give us everything we want. Anything can happen and anything is possible in 2020.
Lets approach 2020 as not only the start of a new year but the start of a new decade. Anna Marie’s story and encouragement from the last decade and moving into the new decade.
Create your own vision board. Anna Marie shares what she put on her first vision board. All items she put on her vision board came true. Sometimes we need to go out of our daily routine to earn more. Knowledge is power and no one can take your knowledge from you. Keep educating yourself
Vision boards can help you evolve into who you want to become. Life is not perfect. You will have ups and downs and those ups and downs hold lessons for us. Shifting your mindset from negative to the positive can help your life grow into a happier and healthier life. Don’t get caught up playing the victim. Look at what is good and not what is not.
Anna Marie shares how she was drama and had to shift her victim mentality mindset to the abundance mindset that she has now. She is hungry to collaborate and share love and happiness. Cheers to a new decade.

What is earthing- connecting to the earth's natural surface. Touch bare feet to the ground, hold a leaf between your fingers, or hug a tree. The earth helps to restore internal electrical stability.
Our shoes have changed over the years. This has prevented us from connecting to the earth like we have done in the past with leather sole shoes. Some research links lack of connecting to the earth's energy with the increase in diabetes.
When we stand barefoot on damp grass this helps activate an acupuncture channel that is known to be the entryway for the absorption of the earths energy, according to Chinese medicine. This point is called the K1 acupressure point. It connects up to the bladder and other vital organs and continues up to the brain.
Earthing has many benefits. One Anna Marie discusses is the impact on the parasympathetic nervous system. She also shares how earthing can help reset your internal clock and help you sleep better.
When people are electrically charged they feel more centered, stronger, balanced, and less stressed. Anna Marie encourages you to earth and get kiddos and older people to join you. Be aware that earthing also acts as a natural blood thinner and as it can help organ systems and the body work more efficiently be aware of any medications you are on may be more efficient too.
Start with 22 minutes of earthing on damp grass and shoot for at least 5-10 minutes a day. Stay connected and you can also purchase products to help keep you grounded. A link for an earthing mat example is below.

Two anti-aging supplements that Anna Marie takes and Anna Marie read a book called “The Kauffman Protocol” that left her excited because a few of the supplements she takes were listed as amazing anti-aging supplements.
Resversotrol is Anna Marie’s first anti-aging supplement she talks about. Thanks to the French Paradox we started to look at what was keeping the French from getting heart disease is higher numbers like the United States. The French have that sweet red wine but it is the grape skins that actually have the most abundant resveratrol in it.
Eat grapes, blueberries, mulberries, blackberries and even eating peanuts! Yup, peanuts. Resversotrol impacts our DNA and telomere length.
Difference between blood glucose and A1C levels. The best indicator of pre-diabetes and diabetes. What is your fasting glucose? It is also a lipid soluble and crosses the blood brain barrier.
The no-so-good info about resveratrol.
Curcumin vs turmeric. Curcumin makes up about 3-5% of the tumeric. This is an anti-inflammatory for the entire body.
Helps how our brain functions and prevents brain diseases. This is an amazing supplement to take if you have chronic inflammation and or have a family history of brain dysfunction.
Longvita developed at UCLA. Helps the curcumin stay in the body and you absorb 65% more due to the increased bioavailability. I give this to my kiddos too.
Curcumin help with cold and flu. It is also anti-microbial!

Communicating: How the holidays are a great opportunity to show your kids healthy communication skills.
0:19 Meet Caroline Maguire. She is an author and total communication badass. She talks about showing our children proper communication during this holiday season. Don’t wait to show your kiddos healthy communication skills. Have you thought about how you communicate? How about how your communication skills influence how your children will communicate.
2:20 Why Will No One Play With Me? A book Caroline wrote as a guide to help guide parents to help their children with communication. She shares her nuggets with you in this book. Communication has drastically changed over the last twenty years. Part of this change is due to social media and we have children that are much more scheduled and they play less. So, they have less time to practice social skills that are not scripted.
3:55 Parents be aware of how you are communicating. You are modeling for your kiddos. Kids notice everything. Instead of being a house divided be more litigious and set rules of best practices. Also, try putting yourself in others' shoes. We can always learn from each other and we need to listen. We need to talk about emotions and ask more questions.
6:55 Let’s stop jumping in to speak. Listen and then repeat or recap what the person said. This clarifying technique works so great with teenagers. Let’s not talk poorly about others. Anna Marie’s mom set a great example. Children are always listening.
8:35 Catch yourself! How your talking about the upcoming event or holiday get together. Talking poorly about others or speaking anxiously about an upcoming event can raise anxiety levels. This leads us into the festivities with a story we have already made up a story in our heads. This sets everyone up for stress.
10:05 We need to be more self-regulated. Are you self regulating your communications? What are your triggers? Check them and regulate them. Under pressure when you can self regulate you can communicate better.
11:18 Self-regulating skills. Know your triggers and take time to breathe, reflect, meditate, and reflect on your triggers if you already know them. We can’t control others but we can control how we respond vs. reacting.
12:49 How can you protect yourself from self-induced anxiety. Stop making up stories in your head. We all have stories around the holidays. These stories can turn any little comment into something way worse. We don't know what someone else is feeling.
12:14 Don't set yourself up for not having enough time to recoup. Give yourself time to recover events. Also, skip using words, “always” and “Never.” People will match your energy.
15:55 Parents use the holiday as an opportunity to teach your child communication. Get Carolines.
16:50 We all need coaches and we have more coaches today that are widely available and these coaches have more specific skills.

This is not mainstream stuff but great information you can use at home to help with your longevity and quality of your life. How your face, tongue, and nails tell you about your health and genetic tendencies. What organ systems you need to support more.
Your tongue! Let that tongue hang out and check out the markers on your tongue. Do you have a white coat on the tongue? You might want to look at candida/yeast overgrowth. Use a tongue scraper. Drink up on H20. What about a line down the tongue in the middle? This represents your stomach and digestion support that is needed. How about the sides of the tongue? Scrapes and inflammation there? This represents the liver and spleen needing support. Also, the tip of the tongue represents the heart and circulatory system. If it has markings or is bright red this area needs support. Very back of the tongue is your kidneys. Any markers there you may need to drink more water and support the kidneys. Under the tongue? And other tongue markers.
Your fingernails! Got cracks at the tip of nails? How about lines down the nails? Or White markings? What are your nails trying to tell you?
Your face markings! What is your face telling you? Your forehead represents a lot of your digestive system. Around the eyes. Do you have dark under eyes and darkness on the inside of the eyes? This represents you need kidney support. Do you have the anger lines? What about the bridge of your nose? Any markings there? This represents your pancreas that needs support, so look at your sugar intake. Do you have a nose that has a red tip? This is tied back to your heart. Your chin and around your lips represent your hormones. How can you support your hormones?
Be sure to listen to the iridology podcast I did.

1:10 Do you have overactive basal ganglia? Do you know what that is? Are you going every which way? A lot of women with children come and see me and share they are very anxious every day. They are exhausted by the end of the day and they have a hard time paying attention and have brain fog… O’yeah and they only poop every 3-4 days or they have the opposite and have loose poo with digestive issues. This is not normal! Women and others are living with this and accepting this as if it is their new normal.
3:05 Supplements that can help. Magnesium: Dr. Amen Chewables and his Gaba calming support https://amzn.to/2pTGa0o . You need to be pooping daily - by the way! Drink ½ your weight in ounces of water a day.
5:32 Breathe! Practice breathing exercises. Fill your belly with lots of air. You should look like you are six months pregnant.

1:30 Consult your doctor!
1:43 Impulse Control ADD. This type of ADD has low blood flow to the frontal lobe of the brain and the brain could be in a low dopamine state. Do 30 minutes of continuous cardio to get increase blood flow to the frontal lobe. Then Anna Marie shares some vitamins and herbs to help improve brain function with this type, such as decaffeinated green tea, B12, and other supporting supplements.
2:42 Over focused ADD. This is where people get so fixated on things and have a hard time shifting gears. They may have low dopamine and low serotonin levels. Tryptophan, B6 are great with Saffron flower and other herbs and nutraceuticals are suggested by Anna Marie.
4:20 Inattentive ADD. This is where someone with ADD is NOT overactive and people can mistake these individuals for someone that doesn’t care. With kids, we can think they are just lazy and they don’t care but they really just can’t focus. They can also have low dopamine and lower serotonin, similar to impulse control ADD. Good supplements for this person can be decaffeinated green tea, ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and some B12 and other supporting supplements.
5:46 Talk to your doctor or get a brain health specialist coach or brain health professional that can help you in a natural way.

1:08 This is the first episode of many more to come. Speaking to you from her home office. Anna Marie shares a brief summary of how she got to be this brain health fanatic and wellness expert.
1:45 She shares that true wellness is more than just exercise - even though when she first started in wellness she would just tell everyone to exercise as if it would solve all their problems and she soon realized how important nutrition was as well.
3:05 Unfortunately, Anna Marie would use exercise as a punishment for what she would eat and she shares how she navigated this struggle. She started to study nutrition. Food is informational.
4:02 Ultimately, she realized no amount of exercise and green salads would make her happy until she changed how her brain was functioning. She started to rewire her brain by hacking into her biology. She will share more tips in the episodes to come. Her one quick tip in this episode is to add Omega’s to your supplement protocol.
