LET’S DIVE IN. 🖤
Hey Hey Sisterhood!!! I’m so excited to introduce you to a dear friend of mine - Dr Meredyth McMichael who is a chiropractor and functional nutrionist. We’re gonna have the BEST convo that I think ALL WOMEN need to hear. We’re talking about the power of getting your body in alignment, gut health and the supplement industry, we’re digging into what functional nutrition is, and Dr Meredyth dives deep into our female cycles and what is actually happening during each phase with our hormones. I know you’re going to love today’s episode bc for me…it’s the things we were never really taught growing up, ya know? But. Before I tell you about her and we get into this amazing discussion…I want to remind you that ENROLLMENT IS OPEN for the VERY FIRST SISTERHOOD RETREAT.
A couple things you need to know if you haven’t heard -
This Aug 30th - Sept 2nd I’m hosting an INTIMATE GROWTH BASED RETREAT.
It’s all inclusive minus the travel to get to the retreat here in Tampa, FL
And bc I want this to be an intimate setting where we can get deep with our healing, growth, and journeys…to create a SISTERHOOD surrounding it all, ya know? I’ve capped the retreat at 10 women. And once those 10 spots are taken, enrollment closes.
I want you to think: SELF CARE meets GROWTH meets COMMUNITY. We’re taking out all the woo woo things a retreat might get a bad rap for and we’re meeting the woo with the WORK. I want you to walk away from these three days with a VISION for your BEST SELF + the goals SHE HAS, but also a PATHWAY to move toward her when you get home.
the pathway to progress retreat is designed to immerse you in an intimate 3-day experience with 9 other women who deeply desire to GROW, EVOLVE, + MAKE PROGRESS… all while remembering to care for themselves - mind, body, + spirit - in the process. THIS retreat is intentionally curated to feel like an exhale all while empowering you to RISE UP to your best, most authentic self.
THIS IS FOR…👯♀️
✻the BUSY WOMAN. Juggling career, family, personal growth, all the things. And you’re seeking a retreat to pause and realign with your passions and calling.
✻the DREAMER. Bursting with ideas, you want a space that helps you turn all of those ideas into manageable action steps so you can LIVE YOUR DREAMS OUT…not just think about them.
✻the LOVING MAMA. Nurturing others and you often leave yourself on the back-burner, you know it’s time to give yourself a pause so you can LIVE OUT THE EXAMPLE you desire to be for your family.
✻the CAREGIVER. Giving so much to others leaves you depleted. And you need this retreat to replenish your spirit and remind you of your worth.
✻the GOAL GETTER. Focused and driven, you thrive on setting ambitious goals and taking strategic steps to achieve them. But…in all the hustle and bustle of your busy life, sometimes you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or losing sight of your priorities. And you know this retreat will provide with the clarity, inspiration, and support you need to realign with her vision, refocus her energy, and create a tangible pathway to success.
Regardless of your individual background, day to day life, roles + responsibilities, unique challenges, or desired future, the goal of this retreat is for each woman to walk away with a renewed sense of PURPOSE, CLARITY, + OWNERSHIP over her life. SO…IF THAT’S YOU…
Okay…back to today’s show - LIVING IN ALIGNMENT w/ my good friend Dr. Meredyth McMichael:
Dr. Meredyth realized her passion at a young age after watching her brother recover after a motor cross accident. Traditional Western medicine wasn’t really doing the trick because the doctors (who were doing the best they could) only really looked at the area of the incident. In chiropractic care, eastern medicine meets west and what Meredyth saw was a gentle way of healing the WHOLE body. We talk about how CONNECTED the body is and how when ONE THING is out of alignment…it truly throws everything else off.
But it doesn’t stop there. Dr Meredyth is also a FUNCTIONAL NUTRIONIST so she breaks down WHAT that even is and how that differs from diet culture. We talk about what all the buzz is surrounding GUT HEALTH and how your gut is connected to your brain. She shares her opinion on the supplement industry and we GO DEEP into talking about all things cycle syncing and hormones. It’s seriously so good. So without further ado…let’s dive in. 🖤
KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE 👇🏼
① Dr. Meredyth shares with us how she discovered the POWER of chiropractic care at a young age and how that has shaped her journey towards helping others. She explains how powerful alignment is in the body and how one thing out of alignment can throw things we never imagined off, such as digestion and fertility.
② We also dive into functional nutrition and gut health. Dr Meredyth breaks down how important a healthy gut is to our brains and quick ways to know if your gut is healthy or not. She also shares her FAVE probiotic supplements and we dive into why the supplement industry is a tricky space to navigate.
③ We talk about cycle syncing and healing + balancing out our hormones. Dr Meredyth walks us thru the 28(ish) day cycle of a woman. She breaks down each phase, how we may or may not be feeling, and the hormones (or lack there of) that are causing this.
④ And then we dive into why BREAKFAST is the most important meal of the day. Dr. Meredyth shares a simple way to help get your adrenal glands healed if you’ve been under a lot of stress. It’s practical tips for anyone who isn’t “hungry in the morning” which is totally ME! Ha!
