Authentic Wellness Radio

Overcoming difficulty is always hard - and sometimes we find ourselves at our most resourceful and creative in pushing through obstacles when we're at our most desperate hour. Hal Elrod died for six minutes, broke his pelvis, was put in a coma and told he would never walk again when he woke up (and then dumped by his girlfriend) and got pretty creative with his attempts to continue to pursue his dreams. Like all good thought leaders he created a system - it's called The Miracle Morning and he shares it on this week's edition of RAW Health Radio. We covered: - The Life SAVERS that Hal used to remind himself that results come from self-mastery, not being a victim - The surprising results that come when you dedicate a portion of each day to improving yourself - What to do if you're not a morning person Hosted by David White of RAW Health Movement Sign up today so you'll NEVER miss an episode at rawhealthmovement.com

When we think of 'overcoming our fears' some of the mental images that might be conjured are fire-walking, skydiving and enrolling in a public speaking course. There's nothing wrong with those - but if you don't want to be a lecturer, fire-walker or sky diver then there's probably a bit more we can do for you than that. Lisa Phillips joins me for this week's episode to give us some more soothing and encouraging ways to get outside our comfort zone and turn the volume down on the negative self-talk that we create in our heads (this one involves a tiny bit of fire). We cover: - The proper way to free ourselves from the mental slavery we call self-doubt - Creating a new meaning about your experiences that isn't about you (and how Lisa dealt with her divorce by not making things personal) - What's really going on in the minds of other people whose opinions about us cause self-doubt (spoiler alert: it's likely nothing to do with you) Hosted by David White of RAW Health Movement Sign up today so you'll NEVER

Yoga is a funny thing - it's been around for thousands and thousands of years, yet it's been reinvented and rebranded into something almost unrecognisable in the last few decades by the fitness industry.

This week's episode of RAW Health Radio sees me chatting to Dr Robert Brody, ND about one of my favorite topics - individualised nutrition.

We cover: - What foods do (and don't) work for certain blood types - How people with different blood types will respond to the same stress (and what to do about it) - How our ancestral lineage dictates what will and won't work for us nutritionally Sign up for updates so you'll NEVER miss an episode at rawhealthmovement.com

Body Image - it's something that we all can battle with, but should it actually be a battle? This week Michelle Powell of Vitality Reconnected brings the research of her social experiment to the table with the surprising truth about how other people think and feel about the way we look, and why we shouldn't look at others with envy or jealousy for what they have because it's likely that they look at things WE have with envy or jealousy.
