Noelle is very savvy about nutrition and fitness but also very realistic about women's health, in the sense that we can't all look like super models and we can't be perfect about our diets 100% of the time.   I love that Noelle crosses the bridge between, yes, let's have good nutrition and habits, and, yes, let's also embrace our bodies "as-is" and embrace a full life (without the need to count calories or miles run).  It's a bridge that's not crossed enough in conversations about women's health. I hope you can check out this episode with Noelle Tarr, and you can also check out the podcast she co-hosts, The Paleo Women podcast.   You can also learn more about your host, Bridgit Danner, and grab her resources on Ease and Gratitude, plus how your cycle works at bridgitdanner.com. 00:41:00Womens Wellness RadionoPaleo,Paleo diet,noelle tarr,women's health,Body ImageAn interview with Paleo blogger Noelle Tarr about Women's Healthhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/womenswellnessradio/2015/08/25/stress-the-emotion-freedom-technique-with-dr-linda-wilsonHealthhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/womenswellnessradio/2015/08/25/stress-the-emotion-freedom-technique-with-dr-linda-wilson/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/womenswellnessradio/2015/08/25/stress-the-emotion-freedom-technique-with-dr-linda-wilsonTue, 25 Aug 2015 22:00:00 GMTStress & the Emotion Freedom Technique with Dr. Linda WilsonDo you feel like stress has become your norm?  Or that you are way too busy but can't see how to reduce your load?  Do you have trouble letting go of stressful events, and end up in constant anxiety?

Learn from our Guest Expert, Jeevani EigenI am a yoga-loving American woman, having practiced for over a decade, but still don't know much about Ayurveda.  If you're like me, Ayurveda curious, then enjoy this new podcast with my old friend, Jeevani Eigen.   Jeevani will give us some context, taking the elements and how they influence Ayurvedic theory.  Then we'll dive into one theory within Ayurveda, the tri-doshic theory.   The three doshas are:  Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.  When there are imbalances in these subtle energies, it can signal a pre-curser to disease.  For show notes, including a description of the 3 doshas and Jeevani's resources, please follow this link to our blog. 00:52:00Womens Wellness Radionoayurveda,doshas,tri-doshas,jeevani eigen,ancient healingLearn about the Tri Doshas of Ayurveda in this Guest Expert Interviewhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/womenswellnessradio/2015/07/14/holistic-dental-care-with-cindy-haasHealthhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/womenswellnessradio/2015/07/14/holistic-dental-care-with-cindy-haas/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/womenswellnessradio/2015/07/14/holistic-dental-care-with-cindy-haasTue, 14 Jul 2015 22:00:00 GMTHolistic Dental Care with Cindy HaasCindy Haas was a Dental Hygienist for many years before also becoming a Certified Holistic Health Coach.

I would say that we speak the most on the subject of post-partum, as it's a subject close to my own heart, as well as Jolene's, who discovered well past childbirth that she had post-partum autoimmune thyroiditis. One thing I think is important to understand deeply is that our reproductive stages are linked, and minding this continuum is critical to our health as we try to conceive, carry a child, and then support a new baby. Dr. Brighten talks about: Why and which thyroid markers to test pre-conceptionHow an untreated thyroid condition can lead to miscarriage and developmental deficitsWhy it's important to test thyroid markers in weeks 6-12 of pregnancy if you are autoimmune thyroidWhy changes in our immune system potentiate thyroid imbalance after childbirthWhich underlaying factors to consider of you have autoimmune thyroidWhy getting support is needed for post-partum health complaints If you are an autoimmune mom, a mom suffering with post-partum symptoms, a woman diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis, or someone curious about thyroid disorders (which are highly on the rise in women,) I think you'll benefit from the info-packed interview with Dr. Brighten.

But you don't have to eat only whale blubber to get into ketosis!  Our guest today, renowned podcaster Jimmy Moore of Livin' La Vida Low Carb, joins us to talk about his book, Keto Clarity, co-authored with Dr. Eric Westman, MD.

HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training, and the cool thing about it is that it gives you a muscle-building, calorie-burning work-out in about 20 minutes.   Doing long runs is hard on your joints.  Hanging out on the elliptical machine while you watch TV at the gym doesn't get results.  Besides, you're busy, and you don't have time to make it to the gym much anyway. Enter 20 year veteran of the fitness industry, Brett Hoebel.  Brett was once a trainer on the TV program The Biggest Loser.  While the other trainers were having their clients work out all day, Brett was giving short, effective work-outs. He brings that confidence and clarity on what works to his new book and DVD program, The 20-Minute Body. I really enjoyed interviewing Brett, because he has so much passion for what he does.  He also sees the whole picture on why most folks don't get fit and healthy, and goes about solving that problem. As as result, he introduces: Easy 20-minute healthy recipesShopping guides that make it a snapSuper fun 20-minute work-outsInner game journaling ideas to keep yourself inspiredAn online community to share in your journey with others. Whether you grab the book or the DVDs, I think you'll benefit from Brett's work.  I recently started doing his 20-Minute Body work-outs, and I'm feeling psyched to get really fit this summer.  You can check out his offerings here:  20-MINUTE BODY To learn more about your host, visit bridgitdanner.com. 00:42:00Womens Wellness RadionoHIIT,interval training,Brett Hoebel,20 minute body,exerciseHave you been wondering what all the buzz is about with these HIIT work-outs?
