Hip and Trending Holistic Medicine

At long last I’m able to give you a bit of an update on my recent health struggles! If you’re catching up, read this post and this post (and the comments) first. Well, where did we leave off? To start, I’m so thankful to have found a great naturopath after not having an overly helpful experience earlier in the year. I’ve been struggling with my symptoms on and off for years now, so it’s been a huge relief to finally get some answers! Slowly but surely I’m starting to feel like a new person. My recent tests showed that my hormones are a hot mess…estrogen is too high, my morning cortisol is way too low (hello, feeling like a zombie even after a decent night’s sleep), and one of my thyroid hormones is also too low. My doctor had suspected many of these results based on my symptoms, but it was interesting to see them on paper! I’m definitely no expert on this stuff, but I learned that when one hormone is off, it can impact another…and on and on the cycle goes, often throwing your e...

Jon founded the Martial Arts Chat Podcast 3 years ago and his fanbase is growing exponentially. He is currently reaching upwards of 70.000 subscribers and his growth is not showing any sign of slowing down. He recently had me on his show and it was a true pleasure talking with him about our Personal Development through Martial Arts Movement (https://ift.tt/2OexY4Z), so I thought it would be great to return the favour and have Jon as a guest on our show. I loved learning about his decision to start a podcast, his martial arts journey and his vision for the show and I think you will find this conversation to be quite interesting. Help me welcome Jon to the show and don’t forget to give us a 5 star rating! It always helps! Thanks for being a Rock star! Do you find it hard to get new clients, maintain your current ones and grow your business? Are you sick of not living to your full potential? Do you want to become a black belt in business success? Let me help! Get in touch with me ove...

Post sponsored by Bob's Red Mill. See below for more details. Usually towards the end of summer, I feel like I'm falling out of love with cooking. I worry that the feeling will last. And yet, inevitably, with the return of the cooler comes the pull to be back in the kitchen. I'm called to bake scones and quick breads. Warming dinners replace the easy summer favorites. And home-cooked brunches become more frequent. This oven pancake feels a bit magical to me (which might also be why I end up making these more in the fall). It's so minimal on ingredients but, with the help of a hot oven, puffs beautifully. Add seasonal fruit to the top and it's a beautiful and delicious presentation One quick note. I typically push for a greater percentage of whole wheat flour (somewhere around 100%) but I've never been able to create the perfect puff with wheat-flour only. This is one of the handful of reasons I keep Bob's Red Mill all-purpose flour on hand. Of course, yo...
