Would you like to have more energy, feel better and even reverse a chronic illness?
By addressing the root causes of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and more, you can significantly improve your overall well-being.
We all have an inner guidance system called intuition. Read through the list of key lifestyle habits and notice which one you feel most drawn to.
There’s a good chance you have already adopted one or more of these key lifestyle habits or you just need to be more consistent with them.
But maybe you are just one lifestyle habit away from feeling better and getting your life back.
Here are 11 Key Lifestyle Habits to review and adopt:
Avoid Processed Foods: Reduce consumption of sugar, refined carbohydrates, trans fats, and artificial additives because they weaken digestion, spike blood sugar levels, and speed up aging.
Manage Food Sensitivities: Identify and eliminate trigger foods that exacerbate your symptoms (e.g., gluten, dairy, or nightshades). If you suspect you have Food Sensitivities identify trigger foods by keeping a food diary or undergo testing (e.g., IgG sensitivity tests) to pinpoint problem foods. Once you discover food sensitivities temporarily remove those foods and reintroduce them one at a time to identify reactions. If needed consult a specialist like a Functional Medicine practitioner or naturopath to address sensitivities and optimize your diet. Click here to learn more about Functional Medicine.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support cellular function and detoxification. A general rule of thumb is to drink eight 8oz glasses of water per day.
Intermittent Fasting: For some people, intermittent fasting can regulate blood sugar and improve metabolic health.
2. Physical Activity
Regular Exercise: Engage in moderate activities like walking, swimming, or yoga to improve cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation. Aim to get 10,000 steps per day, which is approximately 5miles.
Strength Training: Build muscle to support metabolism, cognition, moods and bone health. Skeletal muscle is the organ of longevity. Maintaining and building skeletal muscle as you age is key to preventing injuries, dementia and obesity.
Stretching and Mobility: Practice daily stretching or low-impact exercises like Pilates to maintain flexibility and reduce pain.
3. Sleep Hygiene
Prioritize Quality Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to support immune function, hormone regulation, and overall healing.
Create a Sleep Routine: Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily, and avoid screen time 1hr before bed.
Optimize Your Sleep Environment: Keep your room dark, quiet, and cool for optimal rest.
4. Stress Management
Mindfulness and Meditation: Reduce stress and promote relaxation through meditation, deep breathing, or mindfulness exercises. A simple exercise to reducing stress and feeling uplifted is Alternate Nostril Breathing. Click here to find out how to do Alternate Nostril Breathing.
Limit Chronic Stress: Identify stressors and set healthy boundaries to protect your mental and physical health. Often chronic stress is related to judging oneself and or others. If you notice yourself judging yourself and others, ask yourself the question, “What do I not like about myself/this person?” If your stress is about yourself, work on changing the pattern. If the stress/judgment is about someone else, what do you see in the person that you don’t like about yourself? Again, work on improving the pattern within yourself that you don’t like about the other person. For example, if someone’s laziness bothers you, focus on resolving any laziness patterns you may have.
Gratitude Practices: Focus on positive aspects of your life to shift your mindset and reduce anxiety. Pick one day per week and think about 5 things you are grateful for from the previous week and write them down.
5. Emotional Well-Being
Address Emotional Trauma: Work with a therapist or counselor to process unresolved emotions or past traumas so it no longer steals your energy. Build Support Networks: Foster relationships with family, friends, or support groups who understand your condition. This can be truly life altering a such a positive way. Practice Self-Love: Develop compassion for yourself and embrace self-care routines. Join the upcoming Love Accelerator Workshops starting Feb 1 to help yourself with this.
6. Environmental Awareness
Reduce Toxin Exposure: Minimize exposure to environmental toxins by using clean, non-toxic household products and avoiding pesticides. This often flies under the radar for many people with chronic illness because it’s usually a slow, regular accumulation of toxins that are hard to link to poor health. However, once they are reduced, removed and detoxified the person with chronic illness starts healing.
Air and Water Quality: Invest in air purifiers and water filters to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.
7. Functional Medicine Practices
Targeted Supplements: Work with a healthcare provider to identify deficiencies and incorporate supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, or probiotics. You can be suffering from nutritional deficiencies or imbalances and not even know. Find out more about Functional Medicine and how it can help you here.
Gut Health: Prioritize gut-friendly foods (e.g., fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, kombucha) and consider gut-healing protocols if needed. Everything you eat and drink must be processed through your gut. If your gut is out of balance the rest of your body suffers. A Functional Medicine practitioner can also help address your Gut Health.
8. Energy Healing and Relaxation
Energy Practices: Engage in Reiki, acupuncture, or other energy healing modalities to promote balance and stimulate healing. This form of healing has been lifechanging for millions of people. Find out more about Energy Healing Sessions here.
Breathwork: Practice techniques like diaphragmatic breathing to calm the nervous system and improve oxygen flow.
9. Routine Medical Care
Regular Check-Ups: Stay proactive by scheduling routine appointments to monitor your condition. Bare minimum you should be getting annual bloodwork to check your body’s internal stasis.
Collaborative Care: Work with a multidisciplinary team (functional medicine doctors, nutritionists, therapists) for comprehensive support.
10. Mindset and Purpose
Adopt a Growth Mindset: Embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. If you are someone that gets bored or depressed easily, this is a sign that you need to grow, learn a new skill, meet new people and move out of your comfort zone. There are 5 common reasons why a person gets stuck.Click here to find out what they are and how to overcome them.
As we step into 2025, my guides have urged me to share a message about the frequency of love.
Before diving into why love is so crucial, let’s reflect on what this year signifies. 2025 is a year of truth, change, endings, and new beginnings. It’s a time to complete old chapters in our lives to make room for fresh projects, new ways of being, and exciting adventures. Change is inevitable this year, and to navigate it effectively, we need to anchor ourselves in truth—and truth requires love.
A Year of Completion and Transformation
To welcome the new, we must first release old energies. This year promises to be a whirlwind of activity, both in our personal lives and on the global stage.
My guides have shown me that in the realms of health and medicine, groundbreaking advancements are on the horizon. From holistic and medical breakthroughs in cancer treatments and anti-aging technologies to innovations in memory enhancement and brain function, there’s a lot to be hopeful for. Imagine growing telomeres to age backwards or unlocking the full potential of our brains!
On a global scale, outdated systems will crumble, paving the way for a more connected and loving world. This process won’t be without its challenges, but it is necessary for meaningful progress.
My guides emphasized the urgency of focusing on love’s frequency to heal ourselves, our planet, and our communities. In the face of rapid change and uncertainty, love can bring peace and stability.
The Frequency of Love
Love is the highest vibrational emotion. It has the power to transform, heal, and restore. Whether we’re grappling with feelings of inadequacy, heartbreak, or past wounds, love can lead us to wholeness. I’ve experienced this truth firsthand.
In 2012, a brain injury left me with chronic pain for years. Despite consulting countless doctors and healers, nothing seemed to work. Finally, I turned inward and asked my intuition why I was in pain. The answer was simple but profound: “You just have to love yourself.”
This realization marked the beginning of a transformative journey. By embracing self-love, I was able to heal. The injury may have triggered my pain, but it was the lack of love for my body that prolonged it.
Love as a Healer
Science supports what many of us intuitively know: love heals.
Studies show that love reduces stress hormones like cortisol, lowers blood pressure and pain, boosts immunity, promotes tissue repair, and improves sleep. It even aids in cellular repair and balances the immune system. Could it be that love changes the vibrational frequency of our cells, guiding them toward healing?
While medicine, herbs, and other treatments are powerful, the most profound healing begins in the heart. Love dissolves stress, strengthens immunity, and fosters longevity. It reconnects us to ourselves and others, softens hardened hearts, and helps us release emotions like anger, guilt, and fear. Love is the ultimate catalyst for healing chronic illnesses and emotional wounds.
The Importance of Self-Love
Self-love is where healing begins. Too often, we extend compassion to others while neglecting ourselves. We criticize our flaws, doubt our worth, and strive to meet unrealistic standards. But to truly love ourselves is to honor our journey—to appreciate the simple joys, set healthy boundaries, and practice self-care.
The energy of 2025 demands self-love. Without it, we cannot stand in our truth or radiate love outward. As the world undergoes massive changes, self-love becomes essential for fostering peace, hope, and positive transformation.
Practical Ways to Practice Love
Incorporating love into your daily life can be simple yet powerful:
Speak words of kindness and encouragement to yourself and others.
Practice gratitude by focusing on the good in your life.
Forgive yourself and those who’ve hurt you.
Say “I love you” to yourself and feel its transformative energy.
Take a moment now to say “I love you” to yourself. Feel the shift that love creates within your body. It’s a remarkable tool for healing.
Throughout history and across cultures, the power of love has been recognized for its ability to heal and connect.
In 2025, love has the potential to create a ripple effect, bringing positive change to individuals and communities alike. This year, as you face endings and new beginnings, let love guide you.
Let love be your compass in 2025. Allow it to heal you from the inside out, and watch as its transformative power extends to the world around you.
Why you need good energy flow in your body to be healthy.
Good energy flow in your body is essential for health because energy underpins the functioning of every system in your body. Disruptions or blockages in this flow can lead to physical ailments, mental stress, emotional imbalance, and spiritualdisconnection.
Here's why maintaining good energy flow is vital:
1. Supports Physical Function
Cellular Health: Energy fuels your cells to perform vital functions like repair, regeneration, and detoxification.
Organ Efficiency: Free-flowing energy ensures your organs receive the necessary vitality to function optimally.
Healing and Immunity: Proper energy flow strengthens your immune system and accelerates your body’s natural healing processes.
2. Enhances Mental Clarity
Focus and Concentration: Smooth energy flow to your brain enhances cognitive abilities like memory, focus, and decision-making.
Stress Reduction: Proper energy flow calms your mind, reducing stress and preventing overactivity.
Mental Resilience: Balanced energy supports your ability to handle mental challenges and recover from setbacks.
3. Balances Emotions
Emotional Processing: Good energy flow allows your emotions to move freely, preventing the buildup of unresolved feelings.
Emotional Stability: A balanced energy system fosters emotional equilibrium, reducing mood swings and promoting joy.
Inner Peace: Harmonized energy creates a sense of calm and emotional resilience.
4. Boosts Spiritual Health
Self-Connection: A smooth energy flow strengthens the connection to your inner self and higher purpose.
Awareness: Balanced energy facilitates spiritual growth and heightened intuition.
Fulfillment: Free-flowing energy helps you align with your values, bringing a sense of purpose and contentment.
5. Prevents Disease
Energy Stagnation: Blockages in energy flow can lead to stress, which is linked to chronic conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes.
Holistic Health: Energy imbalances often manifest as physical symptoms; maintaining flow can address issues at their root.
6. Promotes Longevity and Vitality
Aging Gracefully: Good energy flow slows cellular aging by reducing oxidative stress and enhancing repair mechanisms.
Sustained Energy: A balanced energy system prevents fatigue and supports sustained vitality throughout life.
How Energy Flow Gets Blocked
Stress and Trauma: Prolonged stress or unresolved emotional trauma disrupts energy pathways.
Poor Lifestyle Choices: Lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, and insufficient sleep can stagnate energy flow.
Environmental Factors: Exposure to toxins, electromagnetic pollution, or a negative environment can impact energy.
Practices to Maintain Good Energy Flow
Mindfulness and Meditation: Cultivate mental and emotional balance.
Physical Activity: Engage in yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, or other practices that harmonize energy flow.
Would you like to have more energy, lose weight and be mentally and emotionally stronger?
This can be achieved by decreasing inflammation and improving your elimination pathways.
The foods you consume are one of the most profound ways to improve your overall health.
There is no one diet that works for everybody, but by improving your food choices your body can eliminate naturally.
If you are vegan, you can continue to be. That goes for keto, gluten free, paleo, dairy free, etc.
If you want to decrease inflammation, which is at the root of all chronic symptoms incorporate the following dietary guidelines.
General Diet Guidelines
Eat organic where possible.
Avoid the Dirty Dozen. The Dirty Dozen are strawberries, spinach, kale, collard and mustard greens, nectarines, apples, grapes, bell and hot peppers, cherries, peaches, pears, celery and tomatoes.
Cut out sugar and alcohol.
Eat grains only in their whole food form. Eating rice instead of rice bread or rice pasta.
Keep caffeine to 1 cup. Caffeine can over stimulate the nervous system.
Tune into your body and notice its signals. Your body will tell you when it is full, what kinds of foods it is wanting and even what it does not want.
Dietary Recommendation to Reduce Inflammation and Improve Detoxification.
Upon Rising – Warm lemon water and/or apple cider vinegar (wait 5-10 minutes to have coffee or tea or breakfast).
BREAKFAST – Protein heavy (20-30g). Protein feeds your brain, muscles, and body.
SNACK #1 – Fruit. This can be mixed fruit. Any fruit goes. Fruit is essential for lymphatic drainage. This gives your lymphatic system a boost and delivers glucose to the brain, so you don't get low energy mid-morning.
LUNCH – Vegetable heavy with added protein and leafy greens. You can add in grains and heavier carbs and vegetables when needed. This should be your biggest meal of the day.
SNACK #2 – Raw veggies. You can add dips, cheese, or nut butter. I like raw carrots as it also helps to detox excess estrogens. You could also have nuts or seeds here too.
DINNER – Protein heavy with added vegetables and leafy greens. Dinner should be enough to fill you up, but smaller than lunch.
This diet is best followed for three months for results of improving energy, losing weight improving brain function and overall wellbeing.
Comment below about any questions you have about your diet. I would like to hear what you've found that works or doesn't work for you.
Understanding Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Could Change Your Life
Sunday, October 6, 2024
Do you experience any of these symptoms: incontinence (loss of bladder control/leakage), bowel incontinence (loss of bowel control/leakage), lower back pain, pain with intercourse, premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction.
These are all symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Your pelvic floor muscles are part of your core muscles. Which also include abdominal muscles, back muscles, and diaphragm (the muscle that controls breathing). Together, these muscles attach to your pelvis and spine, creating stability throughout your body's center.
Each of these muscles has influences over specific organs, glands, and body parts.
In my practice I see a lot of people with pelvic floor dysfunction. This video describes it perfectly.
The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, uterus, bowel, hips, and pelvis. They prevent incontinence of bladder and bowel, prolapse and are also important in sexual function.
There are two different types of Pelvic floor dysfunction.
Hypotonic
Hypertonic
Hypotonic Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
This is when the pelvic floor muscles are weakened by pregnancy, childbirth, prostate cancer treatment, obesity, seen more in people 50yrs and older and the straining of chronic constipation.
This can lead to problems related to your hips, pelvis, bladder, bowel, low back, sacrum, coccyx, tailbone, or sexual function.
This is referred to as Hypotonic Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. A condition where the pelvic floor muscles are lengthened at rest, demonstrate poor motor power and/or are inadequate to respond to voluntary contraction) and/or are too weak.
Hypotonic Pelvic Floor Symptoms Include:
Urinary incontinence
Bowel incontinence
Orgasm dysfunction
Vaginal laxity
Pelvic organ prolapse: bladder, rectum, intestines, uterus
Sexual dysfunction: erectile dysfunction
You can also have problems with your pelvic floor muscles if they are working too hard, or overactive.
Hypertonic Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Hypertonic pelvic floor is a condition that typically affects people aged 20-49 yrs. old. It’s where the muscles in your lower pelvis are in a spasm or state of constant contraction. This can be temporary or constant. When your pelvic floor muscles are in this state, they can’t relax and coordinate the control of certain bodily functions. This causes pain (either constant or with certain activities), problems with urination and bowel movements as well as sexual dysfunction and painful intercourse.
These symptoms can greatly impact quality of life.
Hypertonic Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Symptoms
Bladder pain
Pain while urinating
Frequent urination
Difficulty starting or maintaining a urinary stream
Difficulty starting a bowel movement
Feeling like you’re unable to empty completely
Pain during or after bowel movement
Pain with passing gas
Constipation
Unexplained lower back pain
Unexplained sacral, coccyx and or tailbone pain
Pain during or after sex.
Inability to achieve orgasm.
Erectile dysfunction or pain with erection or ejaculation.
Premature ejaculation
Chronic prostatitis
However, there are solutions.There are pelvic floor exercises designed to improve muscle strength if you have hypotonic (weak pelvic floor muscles) or hypertonic (tight pelvic floor muscles).

Would you like to have a strong robust heart, immune system, and brain?
If so, exercise is a FREE way to help you achieve your goals.
Research shows people that have a regular exercise routine have the following:
Reduced inflammation in the body.
Lower blood pressure.
Decreased risk of developing diabetes.
Maintain healthy weight.
Reduced stress and anxiety.
Suffer less heart attacks and life threating cardiac events.
Improved memory and thinking because exercise increase area of brain responsible for these processes.
Reduced age-related bone and muscle loss that help prevent injuries.
Improved immune response.
Decrease in 13 types of metabolic cancers.
These are only some of the benefits of exercises. There are so many more.
With all the positive benefits of exercise there is one body system that ties all of it together and makes it possible for you to exercise. It is your skeletal muscle.
Your skeletal muscle is the largest organ in your body. Skeletal muscles are primarily characterized by their mechanical activity required for posture, movement, and breathing, which depends on muscle fiber contractions. However, skeletal muscle is not just a component in your muscular skeletal system but a secretory organ that produces chemical messengers that communicate with other organs like adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, bones, and brain. Some of these chemical messengers even have anti-cancer effects. However, all these benefits are depended on muscle contraction.
How Much Exercise Do You Need to Get?
It depends on your current state of health. If you’ve been living a sedentary life, I would suggest working with a personal trainer for a few months to help build you a good exercise routine.
Some recommendations I do have are:
To prevent, slow down and even reverse sarcopenia (age related muscle loss, strength, and mobility) – do 30-40mins of full body resistance training 2-3 days per week.
Exercise and Cancer
People that exercise at least 30mins per day have a decreased risk in 13 different types of metabolic cancers.
Based on research people that exercise after a cancer diagnosis shows a decrease in three types of cancer: breast, prostate, and colon. This can be walking, cardiovascular exercise and or resistance training.
Exercise and Brain Health
One study found that engaging in a habit of regular exercise of moderate intensity over six months to a year was associated with an increase in the volume of brain regions related to improved memory and thinking.
Exercise and Heart Health
A number of studies have also shown that people who exercise regularly are less likely to suffer a sudden heart attack or other life-threatening cardiac event.
Let me know in the comments, do you have an exercise routine? If so, what does it look like?
Have you ever wished that you could get clarity from your intuition, talk to your guides, and feel confident in your decisions?
Perhaps you've wished that you could see into the future, or that you had an intuitive counsellor on speed dial?

It can help you live your very best life and bring you so much love and joy.
Your soul has been whispering to you all along.
I am a Medical Intuitive and Functional Medicine Practitioner.
For many years now, I have been doing Medical Intuitive Readings and helping people connect to their intuition.
I once was in deep chronic pain, not knowing where to turn or who to turn to for answers. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars seeking answers outside of myself. I remember what it felt like to feel alone and lost, scared to make decisions in fear I would make the wrong ones. It took me years to realize that all I had to do was return home to my inner voice. She led me to exactly what I needed to heal, find my ultimate joy, and feel confident in life once again.
What I have come to realize, is there is no better intuitive than you.
You have the power to know exactly what to do in every area of your life. Your soul has a whisper that you can hear better than anyone else. It has been with you since the dawn of time. It knows you better than any other person on the planet.
Your soul has been waiting for you to speak to it, it has been waiting to give you all the answers you need for a joy-filled life and more.
That is why I created the FREE Meditation: Activate Your Intuition.
In this meditation I guide you how to Activate and Connect with your Inner Voice and come up with the answers you’ve been searching for to improve your health your health, life, purpose, and passion.
Do you experience low energy, lack of focus and brain fog?
My question to you is how do you want to feel?
Do you want to feel energized and focused?
Write in comments how you want to feel?
A simple trick to upgrade how you feel is to align yourself with it.
To do so, close your eyes, take 3 deep belly breaths, and say to yourself, “I align myself with the highest form of energy and focus so it can flow through me with ease and grace.”
Notice how it makes you feel and share your experience in the comments.
