In today’s show I got to have a really cool conversation. We talked about something that everyone thinks about, but no one really wants to talk about, and that is money. Money is an issue, and whether we like it or not, we all hold beliefs around money. Some of us believe that money is a bad thing, that it is evil. Others have evolved to a place where they allow money to flow into their lives freely and easily. We hear about these people; they are like myths, like mermaids. It’s rare to get to sit down with one and really understand what that mindset looks like in real life, but that’s what I did today.

 

Today I sat down with David Binns. David is a real estate agent by background and training, and a contributor to the self-improvement movement. We looked at the concept of money mindset, and learned how to transition our way of thinking to allowing money to flow toward us. The conversation was insightful. It gave me goosebumps throughout, and it was really foundational to addressing a concept that I believe is important to everybody’s health; financial freedom. This conversation is a gateway to the liberation that comes from looking at money in a whole new way.

 

Key Takeaways:

[:40] Please join our Facebook community, Legacy, a group of bad-ass women collectively committed to leaving the world better than we found it.

[3:58] David grew up in a lower class family in an affluent town, and his self-improvement journey began when he saw Tony Robbins on TV.

[7:05] David recognized that he was no different than a wealthy person, and that he could achieve financial freedom.

[8:50] Money is not mechanical.

[12:09] Where should you start if you know you have a limiting view of money?

[13:34] How do you stay in a place of abundance?

[16:20] Trust is not entitlement.

[17:13] We acquire much of our money mindset in our family of origin.

[18:45] David is unwilling to give up on what’s possible.

[21:03] Is money a problem to be solved?

[22:57] Be specific about what you’re asking for.

[23:45] Invest in yourself.

[25:05] David examines his health and the impact he wants to have on the world.

[26:28] Most people don’t know what their purpose is, or they don’t know that they know.

[29:24] Your purpose will evolve.

[29:53] David’s purpose is to be a leader and a contrarian.

[30:54] What does David want his legacy to be?

[32:43] Health is having your mind, heart, and body reflect how you want to experience life.

Today I sat down with Samantha Gladish. Samantha is a nutritionist by background, health crusader and a renowned online entrepreneur. While I thought we were actually going to talk about health, where we went with this conversation was really getting to know the fundamentals that entrepreneurs require to be effective in this world. We broke through some of the commonly-held beliefs that hold people back in terms of being able to achieve what they want to achieve, and then we got into health from an unexpected angle, where we started to explore the connection between hormones, the birth control pill, and their collective incapacity to enable us to be our best selves.

 

Key Takeaways:

[26:06] Because of her own health issues, Samantha became passionate about hormonal health.

[31:53] Just last year Samantha found out that she has Hashimoto’s.

[34:52] The birth control pill stops your own hormones from working, and can lead to PCOS and insulin resistance.

[43:15] Health is living with joy.

[43:40] Thank you to our sponsor, The Interpreting Your Genetics Summit.

[44:55] Samantha’s morning routine includes affirmations and drinking water and tea or coffee.

[46:29] Samantha reads both fiction and nonfiction.

Today I sat down with Heather Allen. Heather is a nutritionist, an entrepreneur, and all around community builder. She’s a queen on Instagram and someone you absolutely have to know. Heather has a love affair with food, and has an innate capacity to take complicated concepts and turn them into something simple that you can easily cook up in your own kitchen. We talked about fermented food, building community, and the concept of “hangry,” and the blood sugar balancing that we all need to do to be able to optimize ourselves on our daily mission. This is a practical talk about how to put things into action, and how to take your body and your physiology to the next level, with the decisions that you make day in and day out, each time you make the choice to eat another meal. You’re gonna love it!

Today’s interview was really interesting for me. I sat down with Mike Mutzel, the author of Belly Fat Effect. He’s also the host of High Intensity Health, a practitioner, and someone who has immersed himself in this field since he was a teenager. We talked about a lot of things, but mostly we dove deep into the concept of the ketogenic diet. This is actually a concept that, previous to this interview, I wasn’t particularly familiar with. I was used to talking about ketosis from a medical standpoint, but the ins and outs of actually doing the “ketogenic diet” was not something I was familiar with, or something I used with my patients. But now, I might.

 

Key Takeaways:

[:45] Please join our Facebook community, Legacy, a group of bad-ass women collectively committed to leaving the world better than we found it.

[2:57] How did Mike become passionate about health and the ketogenic diet?

[5:32] The toolbox of the average MD is very limited.

[7:35] Choose a healthy alternative to alcohol or other comfort substances.

[9:53] Seasonal eating and circadian rhythms are crucial.

[16:47] What exactly is a ketogenic diet?

[22:33] Dietary supplements can help you in your journey into ketosis.

[24:36] Some people are not ready to go into ketosis.

[27:58] Is ketosis harder for women?

[29:07] You should know why you want to adopt a ketogenic diet.

[31:01] Most women are estrogen dominant.

[32:24] You may not have to change what you eat to enter ketosis.

[33:03] Can you have alcohol on a ketogenic diet?

[35:16] Diversity of vegetable matter is good for your microbiome.

[39:46] Who has Mike learned the most from?

[42:56] Vitality and energy equal health.

[43:49] Thank you to our sponsor, The Interpreting Your Genetics Summit.

[45:08] Mike journals and meditates every morning.

[46:40] Mike likes fiction but always ends up reading nonfiction.

[48:17] Mike is very consistent about exercise.

[49:17] Mike plays the guitar and loves to travel and hike.

[49:36] Are we born this way, or do we learn to become entrepreneurs?

Today I’m joined by Dr. Kristy Prouse. Dr. Prouse is an OBGYN who has gone on to discover the world of functional medicine. Dr. Prouse is an associate professor at the University of Toronto and is the founder and chief medical officer at the Institute for Hormonal Health. She has walked the full spectrum of medical experience, and she has landed at a place where she is able to address people’s health through a lens of hormonal balance, with so many tools in front of her. We had a really enlightening conversation about how we assess and treat hormones, the pressures that cause these things to run amuck, and ways that we can go about controlling them without applying the birth control pill as a universal tool. It was a really fascinating conversation because we were able to have it from a perspective that gave us access to multiple ways of thinking about our hormones and our bodies, and ultimately their effects on our brains and our performance out there in the real world. It was an enlightening conversation for me personally, and I know it’s going to be fascinating to all of you.

 

Key Takeaways:

[:43] Please join our Facebook community, Legacy, a group of bad-ass women collectively committed to leaving the world better than we found it.

[2:48] Dr. Prouse’s own health crisis brought her into the world of functional medicine.

[5:25] How did Dr. Prouse’s colleagues react to her new paradigm?

[8:00] Many patients know that they aren’t okay, even though their blood work looks normal.

[9:29] Many undiagnosed health issues can be tracked back to stress and adrenal fatigue.

[9:55] What is cortisol dysregulation?

[11:57] Preventing adrenal fatigue is about connecting mind, body, and spirit.

[14:32] Even if you believe you are good at managing stress, you may be taking on too much.

[15:46] How is adrenal fatigue related to estrogen dominance?

[18:09] Stress and environmental toxins can both throw off our hormones.

[20:05] How can we avoid environmental proponents of estrogen dominance?

[22:44] How should you feel if your hormones are balanced?

[25:51] If you have abnormal periods, birth control is definitely not the only solution.

[29:50] What is the best way to assess sex hormone balance?

[31:15] What is the least interventional birth control method?

[33:03] We underestimate the physiological damage caused by stress.

[36:42] Dr. Prouse tells us her hormonal health hacks.

[40:36] Health is so much more than the absence of disease.

[41:59] Thank you to our sponsor, The Interpreting Your Genetics Summit.

[43:27] Dr. Prouse is not a morning person.

[44:28] Dr. Prouse enjoys reading about quantum physics.

[44:53] Mindfulness has become a constant in Dr. Prouse’s health.
