Liveng Proof Podcast

FREE DISCOVERY CALL What I’m All About I gain so much joy from fostering relationships with my clients and teaching them how to re-connect with their bodies through movement. I am a business owner, a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and a personal trainer. In addition to training I also co-host the podcast: Gal Pals, as well as hosting the Liveng Proof Podcast for 4+ years. My Training Philosophy I work with clients to help them gain acceptance of their body, and provide tools to connect and move their body in a sustainable and joy-filled way. You can read more about my training philosophy here. If you’re like me, and you prefer to listen, you can check out these podcast episodes to learn more about my training philosophy & values: – Wellness Without Obsession: A Non-Weight Loss Approach to Training– Non-Diet Personal Training: Trainer Consulting FREE DISCOVERY CALL Types of Training I Offer: One-on-One virtual personal training sessions (via zoom) One-on-One in-person personal training sessions (available to local clients) 12-Week Training Program A little bit more about me: I graduated from the University of New Hampshire, which is where I earned my B.S. in Biology.  I became an NASM certified personal trainer in 2013, which is when I also started my own business Liveng Proof, LLC. I’ve worked as a trainer ever since. I am now a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).  I have worked with many clients over the years who have a history of an eating disorder, exercise addiction, or just a rocky relationship with exercise/ their bodies. I love working with clients and watching them deepen their relationship to their body and restore their relationship with movement. ASK ME A QUESTION FREE DISCOVERY CALL Non-Diet Trainer Consulting: There’s a lot of pressure on personal trainers to deliver a service to clients that want to lose weight or change their bodies. As I began my own path to recovery from diet culture, I struggled to offer my services in good conscience to my personal training clients. What the industry seemed to want, went against my inner values of trying to promote and educate clients on the practice of intuitive movement, intuitive eating, and body respect.  As I made this transition, one thing became clear: I wanted my clients to feel empowered. I wanted them to walk away with tools they could access to feel more connected to their body.  My training approach began to shift away from weight loss and an appearance-based focus, towards educating my clients on things like their anatomy, biomechanics, and respiration. My goal was to increase things like their proprioceptive awareness and decrease things like self-demonizing their body’s appearance. My training began to center more on optimizing their movement & increasing their overall sense of well being. I no longer wanted to support any practices that reinforced weight loss, diets, or appearances. Perhaps you’re like me, and you’re a trainer with a history of an eating disorder and exercise addiction. You want to promote wellness without obsession to your clients. You want to coach in a way that honors your values. And you feel overwhelmed by the industry’s deeply rooted diet-culture values, which heavily promote things like weight loss and body transformations.  Am I the right fit for this? My consultations are for anyone who wants to become a personal trainer without contributing to diet culture. It’s also for pre-existing trainers that want to learn how to work with clients in a way that aligns with intuitive eating based principles & a wellness without obsession approach. If you’re done with supporting diet culture messages of weight loss, dieting, and body shame, to yourself and your clients, this offer is for you. I’d love to work with you to help you train in a way that speaks to your inner values and serves your clients beyond the standards of diet culture. These days personal training is so bogged down with weight loss, body transformations, and drastic before and afters. If these ideals don’t resonate with you it can be challenging to “make it” in the industry.  This program is for anyone who wants to be a trainer that honors intuitive eating based principles, body respect, and wants to help reinvent the personal training narrative.

It’s always my hope that even if you have a different story that you can hear parts of yourself in the conversations had here, and that you can walk away with tools on how to navigate the not-often-spoken about topics that may be holding you back from living in the present. My mission is to offer you tools, insights and stories to help you on your journey.  But one of those journey’s I have neglected to address – which now seems glaringly obvious – is that of racism. I overlooked this experience most likely because of my privilege as a white person. I am waking up to my role as the “good white liberal”. No one wants to be thought of as racist, but by not speaking up about this topic – is in fact condoning it. So by not speaking about systemic racism I was playing a role in contributing to it.  Here are some resources you may want to look into: Books: White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor  Shows, Movies, & Documentaries : #blackAF (Netflix)13th (Netflix)When They See Us (Netflix)Dear White People (Netflix)12 Years A SlaveGreenbook Podcasts: Balance Black Girl Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/balanced-black-girl/id1438982040  Body Trauma: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/body-trauma-a-storytelling-podcast/id1510247972 2 Dope Queens: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2-dope-queens/id1097193327 Pod Save The People: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-save-the-people/id1230148653 @balancedles@balancedblackgirlpod@thefriendIneverwanted@bodytraumapod Email me: [email protected] me: @livengproof Advertisements (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({ google_ad_client: "ca-pub-1845753290669994", enable_page_level_ads: true }); The post LPP #142 What To Expect Moving Forward appeared first on Liveng Proof.

Madison has her degree in interpersonal communication with an emphasis in psychology from Missouri State University, has a certificate in conflict resolution and legal mediation, and is proudly Certified BYCA Coach. This conversation started rolling from the moment I hit record. I decided to just roll with a less “official” starting point and I kind of like the comfortability of it.  SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON IN THIS CONVERSATION WE DISCUSS: How she chose her name (Morrigan is the celtic goddess of war, death, and rebirth) Divorcing her husband & recent coming out experience as queer The resistance that she feels when she feels oblisgated to inform people of her sexualtiy  Wrestingling with not wanting exploiting herself for other people’s understanding, but also share authentically Social media can make us feel like “we” are the product, it can hinder us to really see one another as people “When we treat ourselves like a product, people stop seeing us as a person” How do you know what is sacred (aka not to be shared publicly)? Is social media, trauma bonding? She shares about her childhood, growing up with an alcoholic parent who she was enmeshed with Her experience with spirituality & religion Her coping mechanism of overidentification with high performance /work addiction Understanding our coping mechanisms/ trauma responses served us at one point but may no longer (once we feel ready to heal) Healing her relationship with high performance & owning her voice Upleveling ourselves into things that scare us Getting comfortable experiencing life as a participant/student/peer, accepting instead of being the leader and space holder The vulnerability of being seen in my power around other women, in person Realizing the self work, only works when we’re showing up eventually in relationship There’s information in our patterns (Am I usually the leader? Am I usually the space holder? Do I do things to avoid being the object of attention?) We are not our pain and/or trauma. We are not our coping mechanisms. We are not our beliefs or our stories. Target analogy: Outside ring: our person, our personality, the stories we tell ourselves (the self we become to accommodate the world). Middle ring: True Essence (who you’re actually here to be, outside of what culture/ or your trauma tells you to me). Inner ring: True Divine self  (we are all connected and made of the same thing) Why authenticity is not simply disclosure Processing forgiveness: I don’t have to be punish, resent, withhold, or be angry with someone to feel justified in my feelings Coming to terms with that you “I will never get what I needed” and learning to protect and honor your inner child Learning to honor & feel our anger and grief Unlearning self-abandonment Embracing forgiveness and allowing (allowing yourself to feel your feelings) Forgiveness in the ability to soften around something She speaks to the idea of both/and Pendulate the ability to fluctuate between two places in your body RESOURCES MENTIONED: The ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) Test Irene Lyon Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home CONNECT WITH MADISON: Instagram: @madisonmorriganFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/madisonmorriganWebsite: madisonmorrigan.comEmail: [email protected] Mastermind Class: Rising Sovereign CONNECT WITH ME: Email: [email protected]: @livengproofLiveng Proof Podcast Website Advertisements (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({ google_ad_client: "ca-pub-1845753290669994", enable_page_level_ads: true }); The post LPP #139 Exploitation Vs.

What’s come up for her during this global uncertainty Informed consent in how we heal The western approach of the medical model. What this model excludes.  She offers an alternative inclusive approach to the medical model – for those who have not found resolution with the medical model – one that offers the patient agency and sovereignty in their healing journey. How seductive it can feel to use ways to escape reality  The non-linear journey of healing  She shares about her own struggle with an eating disorder from ages 10-19 Having gratitude for our coping mechanisms Learning to sit with our own pain rather than obsessing about the symptom.  Learning how the symptom (obsessive thoughts about food + body, or depression, anxiety, etc.) is an indicator of something that needs our attention. Working with diagnoses in mental health: when are they helpful? When are they harmful? Who do they serve? Who do they disempower? How a mental health diagnosis can feel like a trap to some and empowering to others.  Everyone is the master and expert of their own experience  The power differential that can occur between a therapist and client (therapeutic aggression).  How we can lean more towards a client centered approach where co-creation is the foundation of the relationship. The anti-psychiatry movement The history of diagnoses in mental health Psychiatry is a modern day witch hunt The history of the DSM How have mental health diagnoses created a broader cultural implication of pathologizing the human experience?  Archetypes: pathologizing the neurotic expression vs. the wisdom expression What are the causes of mental illness?  Are there some causes that don’t get validated as much as others?  At the end of the day- what matters most is how each individual/client works with diagnoses and if they experience it as helpful or harmful.  RESOURCES MENTIONED: Dr. Kelly Brogan  Medicalization of Everyday Life: Selected Essays Silvia Federici  Advertisements (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({ google_ad_client: "ca-pub-1845753290669994", enable_page_level_ads: true }); The post LPP #137 Reclaiming Your Mental Health Experience with Evie O’Conner appeared first on Liveng Proof.

Bri (she/her) is a mental health and lgbtq+ advocate who goes by Little Wandering Soul online. She is originally from NJ, but has called Boston, MA her home for the past 8 years. Bri started Little Wandering Soul on Instagram in January 2019 when she was going through a hard time. Her relationship was deteriorating and she was just back to work after being on a leave of absence for her mental health struggles. As she struggled to find passion in her work, love life and within myself she took to Instagram as a way to express herself. She started to write transparently and authentically about what was going on in her life. About her struggles with depression, anxiety, coming out and her life-long journey of learning to love herself. As time went on and she wrote more about my experiences, people began reaching out and sharing their stories. Bri began feeling like she wasn’t alone anymore – she felt encouraged, valued and like she had purpose. It’s been less than a year and she is so grateful for this platform that has given her opportunity, connection, confidence and most importantly, a way to give back to her community.  She makes sure to leave everyone with this message as they find her page: While every story is different, know you are never alone in your struggle.

The term ‘orthorexia’ was coined in 1998 and means an obsession with proper or ‘healthful’ eating. Although being aware of and concerned with the nutritional quality of the food you eat isn’t a problem in and of itself, people with orthorexia become so fixated on so-called ‘healthy eating’ that they actually damage their own well-being. Without formal diagnostic criteria, it’s difficult to get an estimate on precisely how many people have orthorexia, and whether it’s a stand-alone eating disorder, a type of existing eating disorders like anorexia, or a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Studies have shown that many individuals with orthorexia also have obsessive-compulsive disorder. According to the American Psychiatry Association”: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which time people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). The repetitive behaviors, such as hand washing, checking on things or cleaning, can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and social interactions. HALLMARK SYMPTOMS: OBSESSIVE/COMPULSIVE: Obsessive thinking around what you’ve eaten, what you will eat, meal preppingMaking food choices often coincide with thoughts like “Is this a good nutritional choice?”Obsessively checking nutritional labelsOften eliminating foods from what you “can” eat → cutting out an increasing number of food groups (no sugar, no dairy, no meat, no animal products)When workout routine is sacrificed, interrupted or delayed, it causes anxiety/worry/panic MORALITY: Feelings of shame/guilt associated with particular foodsAttaching morality to what you eatLabeling foods as “good” or “bad”Believing certain foods are “clean, pure, superior” Often binge eat “healthy” foodsDesire to feel clean & pure  Feelings of superiority to others, because of food choicesUnusual interest in the health of what others are eating SOCIAL EFFECTS:  Spending hours per day thinking about what food might be served at upcoming eventsEating out of the norm causes anxietyLimited number of restaurants you’ve deemed appropriate that have things you “can” eatAnxiety around unplanned outingsYour food choices/ the way you eat often limits your ability to socialize Actively choose to abstain from social engagements because the setting is not conducive to the way you eat Anxiety associated with eating outShowing high levels of distress when ‘safe’ or ‘healthy’ foods aren’t available ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: Thinking “diet” / “health” foods are delicious when they really aren’t In some cases stomach and digestive issuesObsessive following of food and ‘healthy lifestyle’ blogs on Twitter and Instagram  RESOURCES/ REFERENCES: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nourishing-women-podcast/id1273444999?i=1000418421467 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nourishing-women-podcast/id1273444999?i=1000418421467 NWP Episode 98: Q&A- Recognizing and Combatting Orthorexic Tendencies, the Hallmark Symptoms of SIBO, and Hunger/Fullness Cues During Recovery — Victoria Myers https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nourishing-women-podcast/id1273444999?i=1000440847525 https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/learn/by-eating-disorder/other/orthorexia https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/ocd/what-is-obsessive-compulsive-disorder https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0219609 Advertisements (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({ google_ad_client: "ca-pub-1845753290669994", enable_page_level_ads: true }); The post LPP #123 Orthorexia: What is it? & My Personal Experience appeared first on Liveng Proof.

Caitlin Schmitt is a physical therapist, massage therapist, and craniosacral therapy practitioner in Durham, North Carolina. Her educational background includes a BA in Religious Philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. The emphasis of her studies was the mind-body connection and the variety of spiritual practices and beliefs that relate to the body.  In 2009, she earned her certification in Therapeutic Massage and Health Education from The National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, CA. She practiced massage for 6 years in California before her curiosity and passion for the complexity of the human body got the best of her and she earned her Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ in 2017. Her passion for craniosacral therapy began at her first course in 2011;  since then, she continues to take courses with the Upledger Institute to deepen her skills and practice of craniosacral therapy. Currently, she works in a small private practice called The Wellness Station in Durham, NC alongside Paul McAndrew, a Feldenkreis practitioner and PT. Together, they create a supportive learning environment for their clients to develop awareness, curiosity, and intimacy with their body and how it moves. They are integrating evidence based principles of pain science with what we know about how the brain and body learn. Their approach to physical therapy blends the practical skills of mindful movement with self-compassion. They support this process with gentle therapeutic touch and their grounded, therapeutic presence.

It’s safe to say that today’s guest Julie Ryan wears many hats. She is a businesswoman, an inventor, an author, and a serial entrepreneur. During her 35-year career, she has invented surgical devices that are sold throughout the world and founded several companies in the medical, natural gas, advertising, long-term care, compliance, and data breach prevention industries. In this episode, however, we are diving into her work as a medical intuitive. She says she senses what medical conditions and illnesses a person has. She works to facilitate energetic healings, can see energy fields—and says she can communicate with spirits both alive and dead.  IN THIS EPISODE: Explains how she learned to become an intuitive that “connects to spirit” How people are skeptical of the “wu-wu” The body is inside the spirit (Goldfish in a bag of water. Goldfish = our body + Bag Of Water = our spirit) Having the human experience and being able to tap into the spiritual side of the equation How she “scans” people from afar The body always follows what the brain tells it, even if the brain doesn’t believe it (e.g. watching a scary movie) Her experience as a medical intuitive and practicing remote energetic healings Why it might be helpful to someone, to know about their past lives The 12 Phases of Transition BOOKS MENTIONED:  Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field ADDITIONAL LINKS: Barbarabrennan.com CONNECT WITH JULIE: Website: askjulieryan.com Podcast: askjulieryan.com/podcast CONNECT WITH ENGRID: Instagram: @livengproof Liveng Proof Podcast  Website Advertisements (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({ google_ad_client: "ca-pub-1845753290669994", enable_page_level_ads: true }); The post LPP #120 Energetic Healing with Julie Ryan appeared first on Liveng Proof.

This is a VERY special episode because it is the recording of my very first ever LIVE podcast episode! Which has been a dream of mine for years and I’m still shook that it actually happened. I had the honor of hosting it alongside two of my favorite women here in my community: Kat Beck & Dr. Sarah Cohen. It’s an hour of serious courage and truth telling.

The stigma surrounding alcohol What factors played into your decision to give up alcohol not “giving up” alcohol nor am I making a “sacrifice”. I am simply CHOOSING to no longer drink alcohol as alcohol no longer serves me. It never did. The illusion of alcohol = fun Why do you think we have such a hard time “letting loose & having fun” without alcohol.  Alcohol was not allowing me to be my true self → Alcohol made me believe that drinking rosé all day on a unicorn float was the only way I could express my personality.  Her experience in college “everyone around me was literally drinking the exact same way.

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Being seen through fresh eyes for who she’s become, not who she was It’s an inside out world, and how her branding reflects this Going within everyday is the most important thing we can do for ourselves Not knowing you have lived through a Trauma The recent Michael Jackson documentary The experience of trauma that comes when you become aware of the suffering you endured Ask not why the addiction – but why the PAIN Not minimizing/ comparing our own trauma Dr. Gabor Maté  – There is no such thing as blame Her concern with how we are talking about taxic male culture – instilling fear with this “us against them” mentality The Kindness Diaries on Netflix Asking for help & being receptive to receiving kindness The judgment she received when she became pregnant, and the self-narrative of doubt that crept into her mind. How the thoughts we tell ourselves create our reality Her experience with postpartum depression Conditional love and how it causes us to not show up as who we really are Her experience feeling unheard and misdiagnosed by doctors during a serious health scare Trusting our intuition over input from external sources How easily we can be swayed away from out deep inner knowing – and begin to question to ourselves Her career as an international model starting at age 15 Eventually waking up to realizing her own body dysmorphia Her years partying – because it was the only thing that made her feel alive, connected, and a sense of release Going to AA – after several near death experiences. Making the switch from choosing recovery for her child, to doing it for herself Starting to like herself and have feelings for her self How our culture reveres pregnant women – but post-birth that reverence switches to the child and the mom is cast aside so to speak. Her call to nurture our mothers, as this will naturally lead them to nurture their babies How relationships are essential to our overall health and well-being How we’ve almost swung too far in the opposite direction when it comes to self-care/mindfulness – where we are talking about it so much but not necessarily practicing it The intention of mindfulness and meditation is to bring back what we naturally have. Having an equanimous mind: not wishing for the bad times to go and the good times to stay Not medicating our emotions and feelings away. We need to accept all of who we are, in order to truly heal. Emotions have a life of about 90 seconds, when we acknowledge them. How children mirror our Central Nervous System Unplugging your Wi-Fi at night to reduce stress Changing your state with movement (dance, shaking it out, jump etc.) It’s okay to cry and not identify the reason you are crying (we can release the pressure of needing to understand our emotions).

To celebrate episode 100 – I have a very special guest on the show with me today. I asked one of the Liveng Proof Podcast’s biggest fans: Claire Purnell to be on the show so that she could share her eating disorder recovery story and how the Liveng Proof Podcast has impacted her. Claire Purnell is an 18 year old writer, health & wellness enthusiast, blogger, and dog mom. She has been an ice dancer with her brother for 9 years and they have competed in five U.S Championships but as of February 2019, she has ended her skating career to follow her dreams of being a writer. Claire is transferring colleges next fall and plans to major in journalism. She has a health & wellness Instagram where she aims to spread positivity, mental health awareness and motivation to all. She hopes to do the same one day with her writing. FYI this is a very open and honest conversation. So friendly disclaimer: there may be topics in this episode that you personally find triggering, and that is okay! Should this happen, please do whatever it is that you need, to take care of yourself. Lastly, some number have been bleeped out, in the interest of mitigating triggering thoughts.

On this episode Engrid sits down with fellow podcaster Katherine Weltzein to discuss what initially drew her to start her personal training business, how her business fostered her recovery from an eating disorder & exercise addiction. Katherine is a blogger & podcaster, who created a platform where self-identified young women can show up as their honest, imperfect selves, and still be considered important. When Katherine interviews she asks thoughtful, non-obvious questions, and holds space for her guest to share. The tables have turned as Engrid share’s how business acts as a mirror for our mental and emotional health, practical advice on exactly how to deal with people who say things we disagree with, and the importance of allowing your business to evolve with you.

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARE: Why I couldn’t release the episode I had planned & the value of rolling with it Why I tried the Ivy Lee method and ultimately why I stopped The productivity vortex Behaviors/practices (like productivity and exercise) that are positively reinforced in our society, can be negative/numbing for some while beneficial for others Learning to recognize when things don’t feel good for me and knowing I can stop Letting go of the shame I used to carry in stopping a practice that wasn’t serving me I unpack the fears I’ve carried around the concept of “do your best” I share how ‘The 4 Agreements’ explains “doing your best” Overdoing and underperforming Finding the middle ground and why this theme keeps showing up for me Growing up with the message: the only way to improve at something is to be hard on yourself Changing our patterning is not instantaneous, and how this does not align with out instant-results focused culture The stages of change What allows people to preserve through the discomfort of change In my eating disorder recovery: the first obstacle of re-establishing a healthy relationship with food and I am now in process of my second obstacle: healing my relationship with exercise Valuing the “likes” vs. valuing the people behind the likes What I’m struggling with now in regards to fitness/exercise Why I don’t enjoy tracking things anymore Labeling certain kinds of workouts as “good” or “bad” (dichotomous thinking) The association I noticed I was making between intense workouts and old ED thought patterns Why I started feeling guilty to do higher intensity workouts Less intense, slower paced workouts are not better or worse than higher intensity workouts The exercise rules I am working through How to break the thought patterns Fear Setting (Tim Ferriss) Sign-up and both you and a friend can join in on the 4-week coffee tasting experience with S.K.

In this episode I’m chatting with the Stupid Fit Couple, Karley Phillips & Aaron Denius. Karley is a Los Angeles based interior designer Karley Phillips and Aaron Denius is an author/TV writer. Both are full-time career people by day and fitness enthusiasts by night. They believe that fitness doesn’t have to be so serious to make a difference in your quality of life. Their refreshing approach to exercise stemmed from their desire to show others that fitness can be fun, goofy, and still have a great impact on your life.

Sue Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT is the creator of the MELT Method®, a simple self-treatment technique that helps people get out and stay out of chronic pain. A nationally recognized educator, manual therapist, exercise physiologist, and founding member of the Fascia Research Society, Sue is the author of the New York Times bestselling book The MELT Method, which has been translated into eight languages and helped over 200,000 people lead a healthy, pain-free life. Sue’s interest in neuromuscular and manual therapies began when she was in her twenties with her quest to find a resolution to her own debilitating pain. Even top doctors and physical therapists couldn’t explain what was going on in her body. In hands-on bodywork, she found solutions she was desperately seeking. Determined to share this, she changed her focus from fitness to manual therapy and became known in New York City as the person who solved seemingly impossible pain issues. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: The power of LESS in a “no pain no gain” culture The cultural landscape of “I am not enough” The beliefs we subscribe to – that we have to WILL ourselves to change The benefits of a softer more gentle approach to our bodies Frequency of body dysmorphia in the fitness industry The irony of how we often resist to change, when change is the only constant The concept of “Detox” What caused her to shift from intense bootcamp instructor to teaching pain-relief modalities How emotion is stored in the body (our issues are in our tissues) Limbic system and the role it plays in processing of emotions Getting curious about how we tie emotion to a circumstance (movement behavior, memories, and future intentions) Potentiation – our ability to manipulate and rewire our brains Somatic emotional release & cellular memory Hands on bodywork and somatic therapy Cranial Sacral Therapy Visceral Manipulation of the gut The importance of getting quiet, slowing down, and tuning into the signals our body is sending to us Cellular hydration & Rehydrating connective tissue Causes of poor cellular hydration Her theory of why women experience more pain and systemic problems over their lifetime than men The effects of inflammation & fascia The desire to “fix” ourselves which can incidentally lead to keeping ourselves stuck The importance of switching up your routine We live in a touch-starved society How essential touch is to happiness BOOKS MENTIONED: The Perfection Detox: Tame Your Inner Critic, Live Bravely, and Unleash Your Joy CONNECT WITH SUE: Website: meltmethod.com Instagram: @meltmethod Her Book: The MELT Method: A Breakthrough Self-Treatment System to Eliminate Chronic Pain, Erase the Signs of Aging, and Feel Fantastic in Just 10 Minutes a Day!

Today I’m chatting with Dr. Grace Chang, who is a naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist practicing in Seattle, Washington. Trained in both Western and Eastern medicine, she blends the two worlds to empower her patients to take charge of their health. She completed her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Exercise Biology at the University of California, Davis and received her medical degree from Bastyr University in Washington. Since then, she has completed a CNME accredited, two-year residency focused on IV therapy and primary care. Dr. Grace rallies for wellness and preventative health care, applying evidence-based medicine and natural modalities to restore balance between the body, mind, and spirit. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: How she blends Eastern & Western Medicine How the entire body is connected examples of IBS and C-Section scars The manifestation of physical symptoms in connection with trauma (physical and/or emotional) She acknowledges that although a medical professional, she doesn’t have the answers for everything How we are in charge of our own health – she invites people to not be a victim and provides tools that empower them Her original pursuit of physical therapy what initially drew her to it & what ultimately lead her to pursue acupuncture instead True medicine and why it accounts for so much more interaction and connection between the patient and the doctor Her explanation of naturopathy and how it encourages your own body to heal itself The importance of self-reflection instead of always “putting a bandaid” on our symptoms The importance of the WILL to want to heal Pain/suffering comes from we don’t accept our reality You don’t have to identify with your diagnosis When we take authority over our situation we take the power back Shopping around for your ideal health care team We dive into gut health/ gut microbiome We talk about language and the words we choose to describe our health – and the impact they can have She shares about her experience being raised in a culture where women traditionally play the supporting role, and how she challenged the status quo. “Be the doctor your parents wanted you to marry” Doctor as teacher Once finishing residency and not knowing what she wanted to do – and feeling like she was “supposed to know The rise of functional medical practitioners The power of being out in nature and disconnecting RESOURCES MENTIONED: natropathic.org CONNECT WITH GRACE: Website: naturalmedicineofseattle.com IG: @drgracechang CONNECT WITH ENGRID: IG: @livengproof EMAIL: [email protected] Website JOIN the Liveng Proof Pod Squad DONATE TO THE PODCAST LISTEN ON ITUNES GET INVOLVED Hang out with the Pod Squad on Facebook for your daily dose of health, wellness, and uplifting conversation.

Today is Part 2 of my conversation with Ryan DeBell, founder of Movement Fix. Join us in the wondrous and winding conversation where Ryan shares about the journey unpredictable journey of his business, why you have to almost be delusional to believe in what you want to create, and that things DO happen if you don’t stop creating. GET 15% OFF WITH THE CODE: PROOF15 FOR ANY PRODUCT AT THEMOVEMENTFIX.COM THIS EPISODE IS GREAT FOR ANYONE WHO: Has a vision but has felt discouraged at times with the journey Feels compelled to create something but has yet to understand why Is thinking about starting their own business IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: How posture directly affects our perception How our perception correlates to our experiences, behavior, and choices Looking at the body as a whole collective and connected mechanism How often we look to make things more complicated than they need to be His recent discovery that its okay to be confrontational Say what you mean without being mean – you’re not responsible for how others receive it The value of being particular to what media you choose to expose yourself to Reactive behavior vs. introspection of our emotions and the underlying issue – what triggered those emotions to arise The better your can handle and understand your internal environment allows you to have more authentic relationships — allows you to resolve conflicts rather than further the conflict   Why you have to almost become delusional to the things you want to create/make happen – to believe in the possibility that they CAN happen “The people that are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who can” – Steve Jobs There are more opportunities in life than we appreciate Fear Setting (from Tim Ferriss) / Worst Case Scenario Analysis “I think the problem is that we’re thinking too small” Doing what is easy – what anyone else can do – is going to make your chances of success more difficult Doing what is challenging – what no one else is necessarily willing/qualified to do – drastically improves chances of success The misconception that there has to be some kind of “magic” in order for an idea to work/be successful- but maybe you just need to work at it until it works, instead of thinking it’s mysterious There’s no magic – it’s just not giving up Perhaps it’s not what you’re doing that is wrong, but rather your timeframe (we often have to do things consistently and for longer in order to achieve the change we want to make) Relax because it’s all going to be okay and just make the next best decision for you Things DO HAPPEN if you don’t stop Sometimes we are too close to what we like/passionate about to realize it BOOKS MENTIONED: Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle The Ultimate Jim Rohn Library CONNECT WITH RYAN: Instagram: @themovementfix Youtube Website Facebook Email: [email protected]    Movement Fix Morning Stretch Routine with Ryan Debell CONNECT WITH ENGRID: IG: @livengproof EMAIL: [email protected] Website JOIN the Liveng Proof Pod Squad DONATE TO THE PODCAST LISTEN ON ITUNES GET INVOLVED Hang out with the Pod Squad on Facebook for your daily dose of health, wellness, and uplifting conversation.
