What if there was something free, simple to use that could help you sleep better, reduce stress, improve your immune system, digestion and metabolism?
What if you already had access to it?
My friends, do not skip this episode!
For years (in fact, just until the last few months), I avoided learning or engaging in anything related to breathwork. I thought I already was good at breathing. I thought I knew how important it is to breath properly. I thought learning to use your breath could be done in less than 5 minutes. I mean, we breath 22,000 times a day; it can’t be that complicated!
But what I knew was just scratching the surface.
Since I’m a newbie to breathwork, so I wanted to bring on an expert to the podcast to pique your interest to start to pay attention to, and unlock the power of your breath.
My guest, Sachin Patel is a father, husband, philanthropist, functional medicine practice success coach, speaker, author, breath-work facilitator, and plant medicine advocate.
Sachin is committed to to helping others raise their consciousness, activate their inner doctor, and initiate their deepest healing through the use of lifestyle, breath-work, and respectful utilization of psilocybin.
Sachin founded The Living Proof Institute through which he pioneered a revolutionary approach to patient-centered healthcare. Sachin coaches hundreds of practitioners around the world so that they are empowered to deliver affordable and inspired care to their communities through his Perfect Practice Mentorship Program.
He is an advocate of transforming the healthcare paradigm and he has devoted his life to the betterment of healthcare for both patients and practitioners.
Whether you're a seasoned yogi or someone just starting to dip your toes into mindfulness practices, this podcast will have something for everyone.
Here's a sneak peek of what's in store for you:
🌀 Why how we breathe matters, and how to breathe correctly (including the negative consequences of poor breathing)
🌀 How different ways of breathing can change your physiology (this still blows my mind)
🌀 Quick tips for getting started and everyday practice: No need to wait for a retreat in the mountains to start benefiting from breathwork. We'll equip you with practical tips to incorporate conscious breathing into your daily routine.

Do you WANT to take better care of yourself, but find that there is always something competing for your time? Do you wear multiple hats, balancing being a mom or grandmother, or caregiver with work, taking care of the household, and always find self-care and health goals at the bottom of your list of things to do?
My friend, you’re not alone, and you’re going to love my interview with Caroline Milne.

The power of simple questions to remove overwhelm and find clarity
HOW to get and stay consistent when you have a full life
When you’re listening, ask yourself what is the ONE THING you’re going to take away from this episode, and let us know!

You've probably heard that if you want to create change, you need to find your WHY
I agree. I think knowing the reasons why you want to do something, such as losing weight or improving your health is important.
But what if you don't have a good reason why? Is wanting to be thin enough?
I have some thoughts 🙋♀️
1. You need a earth-moving reason why you want to lose weight. I have seen many people completely transform their life with a reason such as "I want to feel a bit better" or even "why not?". In fact, these smaller why's can be more relatable, versus "I want to live life to the fullest", which can feel too far away.
2. Your why has to go beyond just weight loss. It becomes way too easy to justify indulgences because you'll make up for it tomorrow, if weight loss is the only goal. It is possible to make up for it tomomorrow by fasting or overrestricting, but you cannot undo that you are acting out of alighment with the person you want to be. You cannot undo the fact that you just broke a promise to yourself or perpetuated the all or nothing cycle.
3. You need to have a plan that is CLEAR and REALISTIC. One of the reasons we aren't consistent is that we never defined what consistency is. No vague goals! And, make your plan realistic. I know you know this, but in a moment of inspiration or urgency to want to lose weight, it can be really hard to slow down and focus on one small step at a time.
4. Knowing your why and having a plan isn't enough; you need to follow through. Follow through is mindset (our thoughts and conversations with ourselves) and environment. And that's why most of the work I do focuses on helping my clients level up the way they think.
I dive into all this and much more on today's podcast. Listen in and let me know what you are going to take action on!

Do you suffer from fatigue, joint and muscle pain? Have you ever through that these symptoms could be due to iron overload?
Iron is a crucial mineral necessary for maintaining good health. It plays a vital role as a primary component of hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. By carrying oxygen to the cells, hemoglobin facilitates energy production and supports cellular development and repair processes. During the menopausal transition, which can be likened to a roller coaster ride, iron levels may also experience fluctuations.
Many women, when they have a regular menstrual cycle, or go through peri-menopause and experience heavier menstrual periods, are at risk for iron deficiency.
In post-menopause, women are more likely to have issues with toxic iron overload. When you are no longer menstruating you don’t have the opportunity to release iron with your monthly bleed anymore. Over time your iron starts to store, leading to iron overload.
Iron overload is a condition characterized by excessive accumulation of iron in the body. Iron overload often develops gradually, and symptoms may not be apparent in the early stages.Common symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, abdominal pain, loss of libido, and darkening of the skin.
If left untreated, iron overload can lead to serious complications, such as liver cirrhosis, diabetes, heart problems, and joint damage.
In this episode of the Fit and Vibrant You podcast, I chat with Dustin McFarland all about iron and iron overload.
He shares:
✔︎Common symptoms of iron overload
✔︎What to blood marker to test (and the optimal values)
✔︎Why you might have excess iron
✔︎Simple (and mostly zero cost) strategies to reduce your iron levels
