68 Hear Your Body Whisper with Otakara Klettke and Ashley James on the Learn True Health Podcast

My guest today is holistic health author Otakara Klettke. As a child Otakara was so sick she couldn’t even carry her school books. She spent most of her childhood in and out of hospitals and doctors offices.  Drugs, treatments, and surgeries only made her feel worse.  If she had stayed on that path she would have lived a very short, sick and painful life. In our interview, Otakara shares how she broke free from the old patient paradigm of giving over our personal power to doctors and found her path to true healing. She became a personal fitness trainer, adventurer, and TV reporter while continuing to grow stronger and healthier than ever. Now she teaches others how to listen to their body, advocate for their own care and follow holistic methods for gaining true health. She learned to never let doctors dictate the quality of her life. In her book, Hear Your Body Whisper, she shares how she said “No!” to the limitations of her health problems, left doctors in the dust, and started living life to the fullest. In our interview, Otakara shares about the ability of your own body to self-heal. We discuss helpful microorganisms that live inside and outside of the human body, about meditation, food, exercise, time in nature and many other key points to keeping the body healthy that aided Otakara in breaking free from her childhood illness. Three key points that Otakara brings up are: How to tune inside of your body and understand messages your body is sending you. How to stop the war between the mind and the body. How to switch to organic food without increasing your budget.
