E61: The Link Between Emotions and Physical Health, W/Christina MacFarlane

Christina MacFarlane is a holistic nutritionist, environmental activist, yogi & advocate for creating a kinder world. Ever since she was a child, she’s been absolutely fascinated with the human body & how it works, probably because deep down she knew that her health was struggling and wanted to learn as much as she could so one day she could feel stronger, healthier and more confident in her skin. Over the years, she’s experimented with many healing modalities from diets, to breathwork practices, to biohacking and plant medicine. Her curiosity for life has been her ultimate guide. Although her definition of true health has adapted over the years and she now wholeheartedly believes that feeling her best is the essential key to being the kindest and most loving version of herself, so that she may be of service to others and make this world a more beautiful and loving place.Christina's Instagram: Click HereOn today’s episode:Book referenced: The Body Keeps the ScoreChristina's experience with being prescribed thyroid medication for lifeHow going vegan gave her a sense of purposeThe connection between weight loss and waste eliminationConstipation as a potential sign of unresolved personal issuesRain Meditation by Tara BrachPoetry Meditation by Sarah BlondinThe benefits of moving your body to release energySocial anxiety and its relation to disconnection from oneselfNavigating separation after 10 years of marriageThe challenge of facing the fear of the unknown versus enduring painThe importance of intentional quality time in relationshipsMaintaining autonomy within a relationshipAddressing emotional issues to improve healthSelf-soothing through foodThe shame of not living up to one's potentialAND MORE!Did you enjoy this episode?
