As a health coach, I’ve had my fair share of challenges in my health.

Back in 2004, I first ventured into (what I perceived to be) healthy eating and was dogmatic in counting every calories that came my way. Years later I struggled with a variety of digestive conditions and poor gut health.

Along the way I’ve experimented with a variety of nutritional therapies and have come to learn that not all of them have the same effect, nor are they suited for the long-term, and, depending on one’s approach, can end up doing more harm than good.

In this episode, I share how I’ve adapted to the shifting nutritional needs that my body has required through different phases of my life.

You’ll hear me discuss:

• My health journey from weight loss to fueling for endurance training to repairing my gut health

• The aha moment when my weight plateaued

• How I’ve come full circle with macros

It’s easy to think that we’re pretty healthy when we take supplements. This is true to some extent, but taking supplements is only one part of living a healthy life, and at times, can be overprescribed.

In this episode, I highlight supplementation and share my journey of how I started taking them back in 2013 when I began my self-healing journey to improve my overall health. I share how supplements helped me achieve optimal health over the years together, along with eating a well-nourished diet, practicing healthy lifestyle habits, and taking an integrative approach with prescriptions from medical and wellness experts.

Adrenal fatigue is used to define a number of symptoms related to your adrenal glands. Though its not always an accepted medical term, it doesn’t mean it's not real.

Adrenal fatigue is real and it’s affecting multiple people. Join me in this episode as I give you a brief intro into what adrenal fatigue is all about, my struggles and experience with it, and my process of recovery.

Have you heard of adrenal fatigue? Or maybe you’re experiencing it right now, you’re not just aware of it. Make sure you listen to this episode as a list of the common symptoms shared by many who struggle from adrenal fatigue.

Without knowledge, guidance, and support you can make mistakes along the way or worse jeopardize your health.

In this solo episode, I want to share with you the 10 mistakes that I’ve made over the past few years especially when I learned that I had adrenal fatigue.

Recovery from adrenal fatigue is slow, challenging, and can be quite confusing, but I’m here to share the lessons I’ve learned from all those trials and errors.

I hope that by sharing this, you’ll be able to avoid those pitfalls and not make the same mistakes that I did.

In this week’s episode, we:

• Explore the dangers of perfectionism when it comes to healthy living

• Examine how we came to form our perceptions on what perfect health

• Why ebbs and flows of health are to be expected and showing yourself grace through it…especially during a pandemic!

In this week’s episode, we examine realities vs perceptions when it comes to how we’re consistent with the basics of health and wellness.

Are your daily habits matching what you think they are, or what you want them to be?

You’ll hear me discuss:

• What the basics of health and wellness are

• Why it's important to do self-audits and assess how consistent you are with them

• How attending to these simple, but often overlooked practices can resolve health concerns

And you’ll hear me share my experiences and challenges with each of them.

After a mini-hiatus, I’m back with a new episode where you’ll hear me share my thoughts on:

• Learning about racism

• Exploring diversity in wellness

• Simplifying health

In this episode, I’m joined by Monica Cox, a Fertility Health Coach, host of the Podcast Finding Fertility, author of “Baby & Me” and creator of #gratedvegbrekkie. Her infertility journey was a 9-year evolution, which led her to overhaul her diet and lifestyle choices.

• What her 9-year journey looked like - the struggles, the wins and the role autoimmunity played in it

• How she’s now a mum to two little boys and she now helps other women create the family of their dreams

Me: “I’m waking up at 2 am every night STARVING!”

My Dr: “Naomi, you have a blood sugar problem.”

This solo episode is the first in a series of solo episodes over the next few months taking you on a journey of my health history over the past 8-ish years. And we’re starting off talking about my blood sugar problem.

You’ll hear:

• What blood sugar is

• Why is fundamentally important to everyone’s general health (even just diabetics)

• How I struggled with a blood sugar imbalance

And then I’ll give you a little bit of coaching by sharing what I did to address it, and what you can do too.
