    501. A New Kind of Gut Feeling with Steve Wiltshire

    In today’s Friday with Friends, I spend some quality time with Steve Wiltshire to hear the remarkable story of how he cured his autoimmune disease through mindfulness and wellness. 

    Steve has made health, fitness and mindset his priority for three decades! He was diagnosed shortly being crowned Mr. Oregon at a bodybuilding competition. It originated from a serious gut complication and almost ruined his health. After trying conventional treatments, he took things into his own hands, and, eighteen months later, he was cured. 

    Using the philosophy and wellness practices he learned at the Hypocrites Institute in Southern Florida, he put his life back on track. He’s since developed a process that has led to him assisting thousands of people in reclaiming their own health and power. 

    He’s now a keynote speaker and author who educates on the topic of our gut. As he says, the gut is the engine that drives the body, and he believes that so much of our health comes straight from how we treat it.

    How can we make sure our guts are healthy? He started his Body Temple Health and Wellness platform to share just such information. Let’s hear what he has to say.

  • 499. Combating Despondency By Owning Self-Care

    This Monday Motivation is all about, well, motivation. It seems like a lot of people are dealing with despondency in their lives right now, so let’s take a look at how we can turn the tides with a few simple tips.

    Despondency can take hold for any number of reasons. Simple causes like not getting enough sunlight, not moving your body during the day, or eating poorly are more common, and consistent, than they’ve been in decades. Between lockdowns and working from home, it’s never been easier to neglect the things our body needs to stay happy and healthy.

    The answer to it all? Self-care. Listen to learn more.

    498. Eat to Be Who You Want to Be with Dr. Julie Pantelick

    It’s a very special Friday with Friends as we sit down with my dear friend – and my doctor! Julie Pantelick is a functional medicine genius and I am so excited to share her with you. 

    Julie’s entire approach to health is about arming yourself for whatever the future may hold. We’re all going to go through menopause at some point, for example, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. A few tweaks to your lifestyle can make all the difference.

    Whether we’re talking about hormone replacements or osteopathic medicine, one of the simplest places to start when building your long term health is eating right. You are what you eat, and what you eat has an immediate impact on your gut biome! All this and more in this extra informative Friday episode.

  • 496. Building Your Capacity to Bite Off as Much as You Want to Chew

    Let’s build on the new year’s momentum while you put your carefully laid plans into action. But before we expand too far, remember, we only have the capacity to do so much. In this episode, we discuss how you can grow your capacity in order to take more on without sacrificing your health or sanity.

    It comes down to forming good habits. Doing so can increase your ability to hold onto anything you want, be it energy, your commitments, your strength, and more. Being able to remain calm, clear, and centered through life’s ups and downs is so helpful – especially considering all of the ups and downs we encounter these days!

    495. How to Be a Modern, Witchy Woman with Sierra Vandervort

    Sierra Vandervort, The Local Mystic, is a traveling yoga teacher, mindset mentor, and the creator of The Mystic Moon School. We dig into what it means to be in touch with nature and the energies surrounding us these days. A little witch goes a long way!

    In this episode, we explore why even lifelong skeptics should take note of what mystic teachings can show us, because everything is connected and the smallest things can make a huge difference in how we actually feel.

    Sierra believes that life should be easy and enjoyable, and that the pivotal way to make that so, for you or for anyone else, is to explore how we interact with the cycles of energy that surround us. It’s time to get a little witchy and start spirit-seeking to uncover our own power potential. Doing so can help us express our highest selves to the world.
