Is it possible to be drug free with bi-polar? Does food influence mood? Join Matt and Shelly as they discuss Shelly’s journey of mental health to mental wealth.

The greatest root cause of your health failures is that you are trying to change behavior. The reality is that behavior change can never change unless there is BELIEF change first.

How do we change beliefs? We have to be open to asking questions. And I want to share the 2 most important questions I ever learned in creating health for myself, my family, and clients.

The Kerns are taking us through their journey of getting comfortable with uncertainty. How do you navigate the needs of an autistic child when you also have to take care of 4 other kids? How do you keep a marriage strong in the face of a lot of unknowns?

What happens when you’re natural healthcare family but have to enter the traditional for crisis care? Join Sarah as she discusses her family’s journey with their youngest after contracting RSV at 3 weeks old. And stay as we get side tracked in Sarah’s journey with trail racing on a keto diet.

Burnout realized. Burnout conquered. What happens when the body says ‘no,’ to a high-achieving, big-missioned person? Most are used to outworking the problem. For Dana, that wasn’t working on her own. She needed some guidance and direction but won big because she stayed patient with the process.

What happens when you have an amazing family, no history of trauma but your pre-teen starts expressing depression, emotional outburst, and even suicidal thoughts?

Listen to Robin and Daniel’s journey in finding health success from blood clots, obesity, and digestive issues to using those gains to serve others more fully.

What happens when you leave the corporate world to pursue your life’s purpose, passion, and mission?  You might end up really sick.  What happens when that life’s passion is potentially wrecking your health?  Do you double down and work harder?  Do you change course?  Do you give up the dream?

Follow Lynn’s journey from Washington DC to a farm outside of Austin, Tx and the toll pursuing one’s passion can have on your health.  But also follow Lynn’s incredibly inspiring words that helped her pick her self up and create health so she can continue to pursue her passion and life’s work.

A wife, author, future 90 year old bad ass, and race horse rescuer, Lynn has fought hard through Hashimoto’s, arthritic pain and inflammation, fatigue, and plenty of natural disasters.

My two oldest kids join me today with an experiment of having a conversation about health with kids.  I can’t guarantee there’s no reference to poop or male body parts.  Short and sweet, and definitely a little loud in the ears at times, here’s a glimpse of the Perkins boys at home.

My personal chiropractor, Dr. Jason Cahill, joins the podcast today to put the shoe on the other foot.  Past interviews have focused on the clients that are using their health gains to serve their purpose and passion more effectively.  If it were’t for Dr. Jason, I wouldn’t be able to keep up the demands of life I place on myself without creating a tipping point into dysfunction.  

A husband, Chiropractor, and Man of the Woods; Dr. Jason is intricate in my health journey and not being a victim to my circumstances.

Kortney joins us on this episode.  A series of health issues stemming from vaccine reactions at 2 years old catalyzed a host of health issues and some dark times as a teenager with suicidal thoughts.  Regaining her health by recognizing the God-given self healing, self regulating capabilities is now launching her into a career in the holistic health field.

A sister, daughter, essential oils coach, photographer, and nutraphoria student; youth, fear, hormone swings, and inexperience were no excuse to play victim to her circumstances.

Jordan joins us with her reality of grief.  Being a primary care taker for 8 years for a husband battling brain cancer and raising a toddler at the same time, her health disciplines are what kept her strong.  The road was never easy, it still isn’t, as life threw more at her with the sudden death of her sister a year after her husband passed away.  Find comfort in Jordan’s story that you have the strength to keep pushing too.  Health isn’t just about what goes into your mouth or what body parts are moving but the community built that lifts you up in the midst of the storms.

Amanda and I got off to an interesting start when she called me a quack to my face.  At her wits end, dealing with chronic hip and back pain that was robbing her of running, the potential for a second child, and contributing to emotional swings due to pain, we created some common ground.  Adding to her frustration was the chronic ear infections her daughter was experiencing with no answers except more antibiotics and tubes.

Jamie has struggled with digestive issues, ADHD, hormone problems, and weight issues for years.  Join us as she discusses her journey and how she is using that to impact YOUR kids on a school district nutritional level.  

A wife, mother, dietician, and community nutritional leader; digestive issues as a kid, ADHD as a teen and young adult, and hormone and weight issues have been no excuse to play victim to her circumstances.

Vanessa has always been ‘bigger and curvier’ which created a negative perceived self value growing up.  Join us as she discusses the past, present and potential future struggle in not only breaking down those emotional barriers but making sure her kids don’t follow suite.  With the emotional slap in the face from having a sibling pass away, it was at this point that she had to make a change or else.  

A wife, mother, business owner, CrossFit enthusiast and now a yoga teacher; anorexia, depression, and chronic pain have been no excuse to play victim to her circumstances. 

This one is especially pertinent to the ladies.  

Josh, going from a collegiate baseball player to being 60 lbs over weight, had a wake up call when he suffered with some panic attacks and really no answers from the doctors other than, ‘take this antidepressant.’   Listen in on his journey to get healthy, the real life struggles of being his own advocate, and the way he looks at his darkest point with health as a blessing and with gratitude. 

A husband, father, minister, and real estate agent; obesity, panic attacks, and fatigue have been no reason for Josh to be a victim to his circumstance.

Russ has always had a life of high achievement from military, powerlifting, and running his own business.  A rude awakening was realized on the 1 year anniversary of his son’s death that he faced open heart surgery.  Join us he shares the series events that lead him to shifting his focus from performance to health stewardship.

An Army vet, husband, father, and a competitor powerlifter; sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, and heart valve replacement has been no excuse for Russ to be a victim to his circumstance.

Ian has had a battle with Ulcerative Colitis for 15 years. It wasn’t until he bucked the traditional healthcare system that he finally got some breakthroughs. Though the journey continues, he now has hope, experience, and empathy for those that suffer with digestive disorders and has used his health gains to start a second career as a health coach.
