About this episode

A lot of women get caught up in new fads, supplements, and technology - forgetting about the basic fundamentals. So, I wanted to sit down with Alex, who is a Naturopathic doctor and runs an online holistic practice, to talk about what a lot of people miss along their health journey. Are you missing any of these fundamentals?

In this episode, Alex and I chat about:

➡️The basic fundamentals and why they matter

➡️The purpose of supplements

➡️How stress presents itself

➡️What happens with chronic emotional stress

➡️How the body deals with trauma

➡️Learning lessons in life

➡️Examples of foods Alex recommends for his clients

➡️How it’s what you do 80% of the time

➡️Drinking to cope with stress

➡️Building internal awareness

➡️Good indicators of health

➡️Moments of pause or “doing nothing”
