Humanity is in a conundrum when it comes to the quality of our food supply, especially when it comes to the topic of pesticides and herbicides on our food.  On one hand, we literally can’t feed the entire planets population of 7.7 billion people on purely organic food and food cycles, it’s impossible.  And any time a government talks about getting serious on their campaign on lowering pesticide use in the country, it's met with uproar from the farming community because modern plants will no longer survive without them.  But, especially with the glaring health effects, it also seems that right now of all times, we need to take as much action as we can to educate ourselves and devise a plan, at the very least starting within our own homes on how we can make the best swaps and adjustments in our products and foods to lower the accumulation of what feels like a constant barrage of a toxic load.

Skin Health is so much more than outward beauty; it is a picture into the internal wellness as well. Every day our bodies talk to us, but are we listening to the subtle messages? Skin issues, digestive issues and hormonal issues are some ways the body is letting us know that we have an imbalance in the body that needs our attention. Our guest this week, Zoe Quindazzi says;

"I would be negligent then as an esthetician to be helping you address your skin concerns and not bring your attention to the internal sources. They are connected, your skin is not separate from your body, in fact it is an immunity organ and so we cannot ignore the connection. The behavior that caused the imbalance needs to be addressed. ACNE is no different."

Zoe is trained and licensed in the USA in spa, medical and holistic esthetics, and has also spent time honing her craft working in a spa, an OBGYN medical clinic and now own my own medical/holistic esthetics studio.

Welcome back to another episode of Embodied Wellness Radio! And today, we're flipping the script a bit. Recently, Sarah had the amazing opportunity to be interviewed by someone who we HIGHLY look up to, Wade Lightheart, the President of BiOptimizers, author, and one of the worlds most renowned biohackers, not to mention 3X Canadian National Bodybuilding Champion. Mid way through the interview, Sarah and Wade get into a passionate conversation about talking about women's health in relationships, how to speak to a partner about it, and much more! We always talk about aspiring to sit at the table with the greats who we look up to, so we couldn't be more proud of this opportunity.

Today's podcast is also available on the Embodied Wellness YouTube, or on the BiOptimizers Instagram in the IGTV section. Now the audio quality isn't the regular studio quality that what you're all accustomed too on our show, but we know you'll still enjoy the interview nonetheless.

On this solo-episode, Denon talks about the January edition of Cosmopolitan's magazine "This is Healthy" cover campaign.    The publication spotlighted 11 women who represent the so-called different "shapes and sizes" of "fitness", and shared the stories of "11 women who prove wellness isn't 'one size fits all."  It raises the question, when does the body positive movement become unhealthy, and what is health anyways?

Each day we're influenced by what we see, and eventually it's what we begin to identify as "normal".  Both Sarah and I have worked with clients that have come to us saying "How come I can't look like that person, they always look so good!" or "how come I can't get leaner faster? This person got shredded in 6 weeks!".  But unfortunately social media isn't reality, and as someone who owns a photography and creative design business, believe me when I tell you that it's far too easy to manipulate and adjust a photo or video to display the most marketable aspects of a person or business.  So I was recently speaking with my friend, todays guest, on some of the realities of being a fitness model, and we decided that it was time to inject some truth and reality into the ecosystem of health and wellness.

On todays episode we speak with IFBB Pro, model, and influencer Tessa Barresi!  Tessa is one of the youngest IFBB pro's ever, has worked with companies such as GymShark, is currently an EHP Labs athlete, but recently has taken a bit of a turn in the way she sees the fitness industry...and THAT is what we are here to talk about today!

Quantum physics tells us that when energy is intertwined with consciousness, we pull from an infinite number of possibilities available to us, and manifest these possibilities in our physical reality.  We are part of a product of our environment and experiences, but believe it or not, we have the ability to alter our reality and our surroundings to create a new future once we truly understand how to use the power of our mind.

This weeks guest is an expert in this field.  She's an author, a speaker, as well as a business and mindset coach! She joins us today to discuss the power of the mind, mindset, manifestation, and money!

We welcome Nicole McLellan on this weeks podcast, which is sure to be a favourite for many listeners!

Welcome to Embodied Wellness Radio, a podcast framed around MAKING WOMEN HEALTHY AGAIN.   We specialize in educating women on optimizing their health through fitness, nutrition, mindset & SO MUCH MORE!

Childbirth is not meant to be quieted nor controlled. Childbirth is a transformation – a song to be sung ! It is subjective and completely intimate. Childbirth is primal, sexual, and full of wild emotions.

There has been many years of harmful programming from the media and in areas of maternal health that has caused women to feel as if they are not in tune with their bodies.  So what better way to learn about these subjects than to bring on an expert!

On todays episode we speak with Madison Dejarlais, a certified birth doula and founder of Ode to Birth, a business offering doula services, postpartum services, miscarriage and abortion offerings, and womb healing offerings.

Todays podcast might touch on some touchy subjects, but we thought we should bring along the wellness gang to learn with us!  We speak about abortion, miscarriage, womb healing and the options that women have with their health in relation to these situations.

We hope you enjoy the show!  If you know someone who may find value in the information presented today, please feel free to share it along!
