E189 Leading Global Mental Wellness w/ Alyssa and Jackie and their company “Amare”

Alyssa Markham and Jackie Britton We'll be talking about Amare: The Mental Wellness company who has the first gut-brain axis nutrition system. As for Alyssa’s background and education, she was born and raised in Colorado by parents who turned to homeopathics for relief for her mother who had found zero results with western medicine after having closed head injury in a car accident and was unable to sleep. Her shift with homeopathics led her mother and father to becoming practioners after her dad broke his back and was unable to work as a Master Electrician/Electrical Contractor. So she grew up in the traditional health world with her parents serving as her doctors, per se. “I've always been open to traditional healing modalities and when Amare: The Mental Wellness Company came into my world I was actually slightly resistant to it b/c it was about mental wellness and I thought I was great in that department. Needless to say I wasn't b/c after two weeks I saw a dramatic shift in my stress levels and I knew I had stumbled onto something big, so now I'm out to share this mental wellness message: That how you feel isn't in your head, it's in your gut and if this mom can stop screaming at her girls, we can change the world.
