SPEAKER_01: my romantic thriller, is now available on Amazon and other online retailers.
0:28
SPEAKER_01: This book explores the intersection of loneliness, love,
0:31
SPEAKER_01: and how chasing perfection through technology can lead to fantasy
0:35
SPEAKER_00: and reality colliding.
0:37
SPEAKER_00: My virtual obsession out now.
0:39
SPEAKER_01: Hey everybody,
0:40
SPEAKER_01: it's Catherine Crestani with another episode of Willow Healing Matters
0:43
SPEAKER_01: and today I am joined by Beth Milbrecht.
0:46
SPEAKER_01: She is a health detective who works with brilliant,
0:48
SPEAKER_01: intuitive people who know their symptoms mean something.
0:52
SPEAKER_01: She helps people get exact answers, not more guessing.
0:55
SPEAKER_01: She uses digital muscle testing to find hidden imbalances
0:58
SPEAKER_01: and provides custom remedies with one-on-one coaching.
1:01
SPEAKER_01: Clients describe Beth as having Google Maps for your health, so a big welcome to the show, Beth.
1:07
SPEAKER_01: Hello, hello, Catherine.
1:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm so happy to be here.
1:09
SPEAKER_01: I love that your Google Maps for Health.
1:12
SPEAKER_01: I love that so much.
1:15
SPEAKER_02: One of my clients said that and I thought it was brilliant.
1:18
SPEAKER_02: I said, I have to use that everywhere now.
1:20
SPEAKER_02: I love it.
1:22
SPEAKER_01: So my first question that I like to find out is kind of how did you come
1:26
SPEAKER_01: to this point where you're a health detective and what led you to
1:30
SPEAKER_01: who you are right now?
1:31
SPEAKER_02: It's a journey.
1:32
SPEAKER_02: Yes, it took years to get to this point.
1:35
SPEAKER_02: I
1:36
SPEAKER_02: have always been very healthy and very aware of my body.
1:41
SPEAKER_02: I thought everyone was like this.
1:43
SPEAKER_02: I thought everyone noticed the moment they ate a food that whether it was good
1:48
SPEAKER_02: or bad for them, like they could just tell, like I could, but that's not the case.
1:53
SPEAKER_02: And I thought that everyone just knew what to do if they
1:58
SPEAKER_02: got a headache or something was bothering them that they would just keep figuring it out.
2:03
SPEAKER_02: They wouldn't just say,
2:04
SPEAKER_02: I guess I'll just have a headache today and not do anything or just try
2:08
SPEAKER_02: to take pain relievers and numb it out.
2:12
SPEAKER_02: But that's not how the world works.
2:15
SPEAKER_02: And I found myself working with just lots of family and friends who had
2:23
SPEAKER_02: I thought they were pretty minor things.
2:24
SPEAKER_02: Like, you can figure this out.
2:26
SPEAKER_02: And they said, no, I can't.
2:28
SPEAKER_02: There's nothing I can do.
2:29
SPEAKER_02: I just have to take the medication.
2:31
SPEAKER_02: I just have to miss work because I feel sick and I don't know what to do.
2:35
SPEAKER_02: And I really wanted to shake them.
2:36
SPEAKER_02: Like, come on, people.
2:38
SPEAKER_02: You can heal yourself.
2:40
SPEAKER_02: Your body knows what to do.
2:41
SPEAKER_02: And they had stopped asking questions.
2:44
SPEAKER_02: themselves and they had started relying on other people.
2:48
SPEAKER_02: And sometimes those answers don't work very well.
2:51
SPEAKER_02: Sometimes they do, but sometimes they don't.
2:53
SPEAKER_02: And you should know this about me.
2:55
SPEAKER_02: I'm a mechanical engineer.
2:57
SPEAKER_02: I've been a mechanical engineer for 35 years and I like to solve problems.
3:02
SPEAKER_02: So your mechanical engineers are the people who build cars
3:06
SPEAKER_02: and make sure you have heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer and all
3:11
SPEAKER_02: of those practical things that make life good.
3:14
SPEAKER_02: They build things with their hands and that's what I do.
3:16
SPEAKER_02: And I couldn't stand it anymore.
3:19
SPEAKER_02: I wanted to help my friends and family.
3:21
SPEAKER_02: And I was uniquely positioned to do this because of the way I'm wired and
3:28
SPEAKER_02: the way I perceive my body.
3:29
SPEAKER_02: So then when I had my family, the way I raised my family was totally unusual.
3:36
SPEAKER_02: I used homeopathy.
3:38
SPEAKER_02: I used hands-on healing.
3:39
SPEAKER_02: I used all of that stuff and it worked out wonderfully.
3:44
SPEAKER_02: So I decided a few years ago, enough.
3:50
SPEAKER_02: I have all of the tools I need.
3:52
SPEAKER_02: I have to go help people because when people are healthy, they think better.
3:58
SPEAKER_02: They make better decisions.
4:00
SPEAKER_02: They are more creative.
4:02
SPEAKER_02: They solve problems.
4:03
SPEAKER_02: They're more fun to be around.
4:05
SPEAKER_02: And that's what I wanted.
4:06
SPEAKER_01: I love that so much, Beth.
4:07
SPEAKER_01: And I love that your background's a mechanical engineer.
4:10
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, you're like, no, we're solving the problem.
4:13
SPEAKER_01: We're not putting a bandaid over that Absolutely And it's funny
4:19
SPEAKER_01: because how you raise your family that's how I raise my family you know
4:23
SPEAKER_01: so it's not I think it's becoming more accepted
4:26
SPEAKER_01: and people are not you know I've interviewed a lot of people on this podcast
4:31
SPEAKER_01: and more and more people are turning for alternative approaches
4:34
SPEAKER_01: because they don't want to accept the diagnosis or they don't want
4:38
SPEAKER_01: to like you said your family just blindly were like oh well this is all we can do
4:42
SPEAKER_01: When it's not,
4:43
SPEAKER_01: when you stop and give over your power to a disease or you give over your power to
4:49
SPEAKER_01: an ailment, then you are losing a part of yourself, right?
4:52
SPEAKER_01: And you're not allowing yourself to be healthy and make those decisions exactly like you said.
4:58
SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
4:59
SPEAKER_02: And I'm in New York in the United States and homeopathy is very much being shut down
5:08
SPEAKER_02: or just really not common anymore.
5:12
SPEAKER_02: Hanneman Hospital named after Samuel Hanneman
5:14
SPEAKER_02: in Philadelphia does not practice homeopathy at all.
5:18
SPEAKER_02: So there's a lot of lost wisdom over the decades.
5:22
SPEAKER_02: And I'm on a crusade to talk about energy medicine,
5:27
SPEAKER_00: all of it,
5:28
SPEAKER_02: all of the ways that you can use your natural body's electric system,
5:34
SPEAKER_02: the energy system to heal.
5:36
SPEAKER_02: There's so many different pathways to healing and that's what is important to me.
5:43
SPEAKER_01: I love that so much and my question is because I use muscle testing on myself all
5:49
SPEAKER_01: the time so when you were sharing that when I was reading out your bio
5:52
SPEAKER_01: but I am curious what you mean by digital muscle testing what is that?
5:56
SPEAKER_02: I am so glad that you use muscle testing and it's for the listeners
6:00
SPEAKER_02: who don't know muscle testing is when you are in person with a practitioner
6:05
SPEAKER_02: and it's also called applied kinesiology and usually that practitioner is
6:10
SPEAKER_02: will ask you to hold out your arm and press on your wrist and ask a yes or no question.
6:17
SPEAKER_02: And if it's true for your body,
6:20
SPEAKER_02: your muscles will be strong and your arm will stay strong and outstretched.
6:23
SPEAKER_02: And if the answer is no,
6:26
SPEAKER_02: then there's a slight weakness and your arm dips a little bit
6:29
SPEAKER_02: and your body just knows like, that's not right.
6:31
SPEAKER_02: For example, if I did it and I said, my name is Beth, my arm would be straight.
6:36
SPEAKER_02: If I said, my name is Louise, that would not be
6:40
SPEAKER_02: That's not correct.
6:41
SPEAKER_02: So there would be a little dip.
6:42
SPEAKER_02: And so then the practitioner needs to interpret that.
6:44
SPEAKER_02: And then also there's,
6:46
SPEAKER_02: okay, we can ask lots of questions about the health of the body and organs.
6:50
SPEAKER_02: But then it depends on the skill of the practitioner, making sure the practitioner is unbiased.
6:57
SPEAKER_02: Because if you were doing it to me and you knew that I had a really stressful day,
7:02
SPEAKER_02: you might know like, okay, I'm guessing at this is what could be the problem.
7:06
SPEAKER_02: And I'd like to have a degree of objectivity.
7:09
SPEAKER_02: so that I'm not projecting my thoughts on what could be the issue with you.
7:15
SPEAKER_02: And there's a limit to how many questions I can ask,
7:18
SPEAKER_02: even if I think in my head,
7:19
SPEAKER_02: but I still have to ask a question and test a response and then determine,
7:23
SPEAKER_02: well, was that really weak or was it only a little weak?
7:27
SPEAKER_02: And so there isn't a really good method of quantifying that when you're doing it in person.
7:31
SPEAKER_02: And then you can do it to yourself like you do.
7:34
SPEAKER_02: So you can
7:35
SPEAKER_02: You can look this up on YouTube, but you can use your fingers.
7:39
SPEAKER_02: You can do all kinds of things.
7:40
SPEAKER_02: And the sway test, if you're just learning, is really good.
7:43
SPEAKER_02: Like, are you drawn to it and you move forward?
7:46
SPEAKER_02: Or no, you do not want broccoli.
7:49
SPEAKER_02: Get that away from me and you move backwards.
7:53
SPEAKER_02: Digital muscle testing, though,
7:56
SPEAKER_02: was started in the 1940s by a German physician who was just tired of not being able
8:02
SPEAKER_02: to get results for his clients.
8:04
SPEAKER_02: And so he studied traditional Chinese medicine.
8:07
SPEAKER_02: And then once he learned about the meridians,
8:09
SPEAKER_02: he decided to measure the electrical resistance,
8:13
SPEAKER_02: the charge,
8:13
SPEAKER_02: the energy flow, all of those things at different points on the meridians.
8:19
SPEAKER_02: So he could actually measure it and he could see where things were stuck.
8:22
SPEAKER_02: So whereas acupuncturist can just feel it, he was measuring it.
8:27
SPEAKER_02: And then he noticed if he gave someone
8:31
SPEAKER_02: A remedy, the measurements would be different.
8:34
SPEAKER_02: So that was the very beginning.
8:36
SPEAKER_02: So fast forward 80 to 90 years with advances in electrical engineering,
8:42
SPEAKER_02: digital technology, and modern physics.
8:45
SPEAKER_02: I have lab-grade equipment that's run by computer software.
8:50
SPEAKER_02: The kind I have is totally customizable.
8:53
SPEAKER_02: So I get to make my own questions.
8:56
SPEAKER_02: And what I'm doing is
8:58
SPEAKER_02: is this device is sending you a text message and it's receiving the answer
9:03
SPEAKER_02: and it's recording it in the software.
9:05
SPEAKER_02: So I can do that very fast, remotely, asynchronously.
9:10
SPEAKER_02: And guess what?
9:11
SPEAKER_02: All of the responses, the strength of what's coming back is in homeopathic dilutions.
9:18
SPEAKER_02: And I'm a homeopath.
9:20
SPEAKER_02: It's like a match made in heaven.
9:22
SPEAKER_02: So
9:23
SPEAKER_02: Digital muscle testing is the same as in-person muscle testing
9:28
SPEAKER_02: or what you do yourself, just with the aid of electronics.
9:32
SPEAKER_02: And it allows me to ask a lot more things a lot more quickly.
9:36
SPEAKER_02: And that's a simple answer.
9:39
SPEAKER_02: And we are connected by the ether.
9:42
SPEAKER_02: So it's very easy to connect with you and do this with your name and birth date.
9:49
SPEAKER_01: This is so fascinating.
9:51
SPEAKER_01: I love this so I have a I have a rife machine so I fully understand the beauties
9:56
SPEAKER_01: of frequencies and you know like I put my fingernails in there and it keeps working
10:01
SPEAKER_01: on me kind of thing but I have never heard of digital muscle testing before
10:05
SPEAKER_01: but it makes to me it makes sense because you know if I'm working with
10:09
SPEAKER_01: a client I can test on myself their their things through
10:13
SPEAKER_01: the screen exactly like you said but to have that
10:16
SPEAKER_01: measurement and to have a device that that gives that feedback it just allows it
10:21
SPEAKER_01: to be more concrete too right and yes you know and so my my question that's popping
10:27
SPEAKER_01: into my head Beth is how does it how does it kind of so you just put the name in and
10:33
SPEAKER_01: the birth date and it just taps into the energy of the being or how does that work
10:38
SPEAKER_02: so my system has copper electrodes so if we were in
10:42
SPEAKER_02: the same room you could just hold on to them and then you'd have to sit there for a
10:46
SPEAKER_02: while as I went through and did everything because it could take a little while
10:49
SPEAKER_02: because I'm really curious and I ask and I run a lot of tests actually one
10:53
SPEAKER_02: of my tests is what test is next and anyway so I keep going and going going
10:58
SPEAKER_02: but you could sit there and hold it so you can do it in person
11:01
SPEAKER_02: when I did my training four years ago so I didn't
11:06
SPEAKER_02: Decide this on myself.
11:07
SPEAKER_02: The manufacturers of this equipment trained everyone on how to do it remotely.
11:12
SPEAKER_02: And what they did was name and birth date.
11:17
SPEAKER_02: Now, in the software,
11:18
SPEAKER_02: there's a place for name and address and email and phone number and birth date.
11:23
SPEAKER_02: And gosh, I type in as much as I have for my clients.
11:27
SPEAKER_02: I just want to make sure that the universe is going to find you.
11:33
SPEAKER_02: And it always does.
11:34
SPEAKER_02: It always does.
11:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
11:36
SPEAKER_02: But really,
11:38
SPEAKER_02: when you think about it,
11:40
SPEAKER_02: if you wanted to send love and prayers to someone,
11:45
SPEAKER_02: you don't even need their birthday.
11:47
SPEAKER_02: You just need that person that I was thinking.
11:50
SPEAKER_02: I don't even need to know their name.
11:52
SPEAKER_02: You know it's going to get there.
11:55
SPEAKER_02: Yes, but I fill in all the fields in the software,
11:59
SPEAKER_02: but really when I was trained, it was name and birthday.
12:01
SPEAKER_01: I'm assuming that the device that you use,
12:03
SPEAKER_01: it obviously reflects the meridian systems,
12:06
SPEAKER_01: which is how you get the feedback of where the blocks are and that sort of thing.
12:10
SPEAKER_01: So do you get like a little report at the end or do you get a,
12:14
SPEAKER_01: just like these are the frequencies or the meridians that are not working?
12:19
SPEAKER_01: So
12:20
SPEAKER_02: The best part, remember, I want to solve problems.
12:22
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to give you a list of problems.
12:24
SPEAKER_02: I want to give you solutions.
12:25
SPEAKER_02: So what I'm finding out, the first thing is I go through 38 organs and systems.
12:32
SPEAKER_02: So it's specific organs like pituitary and hypothalamus and thyroid and parathyroid,
12:38
SPEAKER_02: but it's also circulatory and digestion and lymphatic.
12:43
SPEAKER_02: So I'm covering both of those.
12:45
SPEAKER_02: So that's the first thing I do is what
12:48
SPEAKER_02: What is your body we're going to work on first?
12:50
SPEAKER_02: And your body is never going to say, well, everything's terrible.
12:54
SPEAKER_02: Let's fix it all.
12:56
SPEAKER_02: Because that would feel awful.
12:59
SPEAKER_02: Your body's going to say, let's start here.
13:01
SPEAKER_02: Let's start with these three things.
13:04
SPEAKER_02: Whatever.
13:04
SPEAKER_02: Whatever the case is for you,
13:06
SPEAKER_02: whatever your body can handle, it's going to say those things are out of balance.
13:09
SPEAKER_02: But that's just the first step.
13:10
SPEAKER_02: The next step is, what do you need to do to get into balance?
13:15
SPEAKER_02: So say it was your thyroid.
13:16
SPEAKER_02: It's out of balance.
13:18
SPEAKER_02: The next thing is, do you need a vitamin?
13:21
SPEAKER_02: Let's check.
13:21
SPEAKER_02: Let's check all the vitamins.
13:23
SPEAKER_02: Do you need a mineral?
13:24
SPEAKER_02: Is it boron, magnesium, selenium, sulfur?
13:27
SPEAKER_02: What do you need?
13:29
SPEAKER_02: How about, is it an environmental toxin?
13:31
SPEAKER_02: Let's go through the insecticides, pesticides, preservatives, all kinds of chemical residues.
13:40
SPEAKER_02: Let's see what you need.
13:42
SPEAKER_02: And so sometimes it's the energetic signature of a nutrient that is helpful to you.
13:49
SPEAKER_02: And sometimes it is the information your body needs.
13:52
SPEAKER_02: Like I've been trying to get rid of this thing and I don't know what to do with it.
13:57
SPEAKER_02: And it's the information.
13:58
SPEAKER_02: You're not getting more of a pesticide.
14:00
SPEAKER_02: So in a homeopathic way, you know, sometimes like arsenic is an arsenic.
14:07
SPEAKER_02: And if you need that,
14:09
SPEAKER_02: you know,
14:09
SPEAKER_02: you're taking the energetic frequency because that's a match
14:13
SPEAKER_02: for what you're feeling right now.
14:15
SPEAKER_02: So in that way,
14:17
SPEAKER_02: I'm collecting a list of everything you need to be in balance and it does emotional
14:21
SPEAKER_02: so what Bach flower essence what energetic signature of
14:26
SPEAKER_02: an essential oil crystal affirmation the homeopathic remedies are so beautiful and
14:33
SPEAKER_02: that they address physical as well as emotional and I just keep going
14:37
SPEAKER_02: and getting deeper and deeper until
14:40
SPEAKER_02: Your body says, I'm good.
14:42
SPEAKER_02: Thanks.
14:42
SPEAKER_02: That's enough.
14:43
SPEAKER_02: I got enough.
14:44
SPEAKER_02: So I have all of the things that you need to be in balance.
14:48
SPEAKER_02: And so unlike the Rife machine where you pick a frequency,
14:53
SPEAKER_02: I have a hundred or more frequencies and then I send them and charge them up.
14:59
SPEAKER_02: I put them on the test plate of my device and I charge up a bottle of drops and some patches.
15:05
SPEAKER_02: And then I put them in a box and send them to you.
15:08
SPEAKER_02: and so now you have a custom homeopathic remedy.
15:12
SPEAKER_02: You receive the frequencies while I was testing,
15:16
SPEAKER_02: but you also get a remedy so that you can continue to remind yourself of what it is
15:21
SPEAKER_02: to be in balance.
15:22
SPEAKER_02: And then for report,
15:25
SPEAKER_02: I write it up myself I type it
15:26
SPEAKER_02: with my own fingers no computer export no AI it's like this is what I see
15:32
SPEAKER_02: and I'm not going to tell you a hundred things you don't want
15:36
SPEAKER_02: that you want my interpretation of what's going
15:39
SPEAKER_01: on yeah definitely it's always nice not to have the a hundred things come
15:44
SPEAKER_01: through right
15:46
SPEAKER_01: but I understand what you mean you don't want your body doesn't necessarily need
15:50
SPEAKER_01: everything all at once either sometimes it just needs a boost or an acknowledgement
15:55
SPEAKER_01: You know,
15:55
SPEAKER_01: sometimes if your shoulder's sore,
15:57
SPEAKER_01: your shoulder just wants you to know that you've acknowledged that too.
15:59
SPEAKER_01: Like, oh yes, thank you.
16:01
SPEAKER_01: You're sore.
16:02
SPEAKER_01: I don't actually need a frequency.
16:04
SPEAKER_01: You just need to notice that I'm sore and what's going on underneath here.
16:07
SPEAKER_01: So I really love how you frame that,
16:09
SPEAKER_01: Beth, and how you're not going to do everything all at once.
16:12
SPEAKER_01: It's just whatever your body truly needs in that moment.
16:15
SPEAKER_01: And I feel that comes back to where you started about,
16:19
SPEAKER_01: you know, why aren't people listening more to their bodies and why aren't people
16:24
SPEAKER_01: eating more intuitively or treating themselves more intuitively.
16:28
SPEAKER_01: I know I'm passionate about teaching people how to listen to their intuition more
16:32
SPEAKER_01: because that's how I eat.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: When you get to that point where you're listening to your body,
16:36
SPEAKER_01: like I love going out because I order so quickly.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: I just use my muscle testing of like,
16:42
SPEAKER_01: what do I want off this menu today and what zone I want and it makes it really easy
16:47
SPEAKER_01: because it's like actually I'm listening to what my body needs in this moment rather
16:52
SPEAKER_01: than just defaulting to what I normally order yes yes that is so true so
16:57
SPEAKER_02: when you start to listen
16:59
SPEAKER_02: You start resolving things and your body wants to heal things.
17:03
SPEAKER_02: It really does.
17:04
SPEAKER_02: Those symptoms that are coming up,
17:06
SPEAKER_02: they're signs, they're signals, and there's a method to how to do it.
17:11
SPEAKER_02: And you can get there so many ways.
17:13
SPEAKER_02: I just happen to have a tech aspect to it, but you can do it yourself.
17:19
SPEAKER_02: You can figure it out by learning to self-muscle test.
17:22
SPEAKER_02: You can work with someone who can do it for you because a lot of people at
17:25
SPEAKER_02: the beginning don't trust themselves.
17:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, there's so many different ways and food is a great place to start.
17:32
SPEAKER_02: The second place to start,
17:34
SPEAKER_02: the second place to continue really is asking yourself,
17:38
SPEAKER_02: well, what is this telling me?
17:41
SPEAKER_02: Like you said, your shoulder hurts.
17:43
SPEAKER_02: Why?
17:44
SPEAKER_02: What are you trying to tell me?
17:46
SPEAKER_02: and you'd be surprised at what comes up when you listen.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:50
SPEAKER_01: And sometimes you're like,
17:52
SPEAKER_01: I wasn't listening to myself or,
17:54
SPEAKER_01: and I think a lot of people,
17:56
SPEAKER_01: if they're listening, they don't understand what we mean.
17:59
SPEAKER_01: our body is like the biggest sign you know people talk about like numbers
18:03
SPEAKER_01: and feathers and animals and that as spirit signs but your body is a walking sign so
18:09
SPEAKER_01: if you're finding
18:10
SPEAKER_01: that you have lower back problems who's not supporting you you know in your life
18:15
SPEAKER_01: if your your shoulders are really tight how much weight are you taking on
18:18
SPEAKER_01: from other people you know there's always these underlying
18:22
SPEAKER_01: Emotions or kind of things.
18:24
SPEAKER_01: And often,
18:24
SPEAKER_01: you know,
18:25
SPEAKER_01: even my favorite but is it's funny favorite,
18:28
SPEAKER_01: but it's like, why is someone stabbing me in the back?
18:31
SPEAKER_01: Why do I feel like someone's stabbing me in your back?
18:33
SPEAKER_01: Like you already know.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: And this is like the really beautiful thing with that is that often we
18:40
SPEAKER_01: When we start to ask those questions and we live in a world
18:42
SPEAKER_01: where we can be more curious and like you're the Google,
18:46
SPEAKER_01: Google doctor for health, right?
18:47
SPEAKER_01: Or Google Maps for help.
18:48
SPEAKER_01: No, it's doctor.
18:49
SPEAKER_01: We can't say doctor.
18:50
SPEAKER_01: But you know, there is that aspect where you can go, what's the underlying meaning?
18:55
SPEAKER_01: Or I say spiritual meaning.
18:57
SPEAKER_01: I find that gets me the answer.
18:58
SPEAKER_01: What's the spiritual meaning of a sore left shoulder?
19:00
SPEAKER_01: And you can start to ask those deeper questions.
19:03
SPEAKER_01: and go deeper.
19:04
SPEAKER_01: So you don't have to always know all the answers.
19:07
SPEAKER_01: We're at a world where we can just,
19:09
SPEAKER_01: you know,
19:09
SPEAKER_01: ask people or get the right support or just be curious and start to go deeper.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: And if you can't shift that,
19:16
SPEAKER_01: that is when you reach out to people like Beth or myself or whoever it might be.
19:21
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
19:22
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: Every single one of my clients has had an emotional connection to how they were feeling.
19:27
SPEAKER_02: 100%.
19:29
SPEAKER_02: There is an emotional reason why your hip hurts, why your liver is congested.
19:36
SPEAKER_02: You need to take physical action, but emotional as well.
19:38
SPEAKER_02: There's so many ways you can approach that.
19:41
SPEAKER_02: You could do EFT tapping.
19:43
SPEAKER_02: You could do hands-on healing.
19:44
SPEAKER_02: You could just take a hike, go swimming.
19:48
SPEAKER_02: If it's cold, you could take a snowy walk.
19:51
SPEAKER_02: It's wherever, whatever you can do to get into what that feeling is.
19:59
SPEAKER_02: Sometimes people approach healing from the emotional side
20:03
SPEAKER_02: and other times people approach healing from the physical side.
20:06
SPEAKER_02: But from what I've seen, you won't reach a full resolution until you eventually do both.
20:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 100%.
20:15
SPEAKER_01: Even, you know, if you're someone and you've broken your toe, ask why did you break your toe?
20:20
SPEAKER_01: And people are like, oh, but it can be a coincidence.
20:22
SPEAKER_01: There's a reason behind it.
20:24
SPEAKER_01: I will tell you right now, if you start looking into that and then
20:29
SPEAKER_01: If you get to that point that your body is screaming at you and then you go
20:33
SPEAKER_01: into dis-ease,
20:35
SPEAKER_01: you've been ignoring something for a long time for it to get to that point.
20:39
SPEAKER_01: And often we do wait till we get to crisis before we actually start to do something
20:45
SPEAKER_01: to counteract what's going on in our lives.
20:49
SPEAKER_01: So I guess my big thing is here.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: Don't let yourself get to crisis.
20:53
SPEAKER_01: You know,
20:54
SPEAKER_01: actually start paying attention when things start to feel uncomfortable rather than
20:59
SPEAKER_01: when it gets too unbearable.
21:01
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
21:02
SPEAKER_02: Right at the beginning.
21:04
SPEAKER_02: My two things to look at are sleep.
21:07
SPEAKER_02: Are you getting on?
21:08
SPEAKER_02: You know,
21:08
SPEAKER_02: we all have restless nights sometimes,
21:11
SPEAKER_02: but on a regular basis, would you say generally you sleep well?
21:15
SPEAKER_02: If you don't, you got to look into that.
21:18
SPEAKER_02: And during the day, can you move around without any aches and pains?
21:23
SPEAKER_02: If you're moving around and things hurt, don't let that go.
21:27
SPEAKER_02: that's something to figure out yeah a hundred percent I so agree
21:30
SPEAKER_01: and you know be curious be curious like oh why is my ankle suddenly hurting
21:35
SPEAKER_01: but it didn't yesterday or you know why have I got a headache all of a sudden and
21:40
SPEAKER_01: so many people will then go and numb the pain this is where I'm like please don't do
21:45
SPEAKER_01: that you know taking in Australia we have Panadol I think Tylenol is the equivalent
21:50
SPEAKER_01: in America and people just completely numb it
21:53
SPEAKER_01: I'm like no like actually maybe you just need some salt for that headache
21:57
SPEAKER_01: or maybe you know your neck's out of alignment
22:00
SPEAKER_01: or there's always some other bigger thing and even my sister used to suffer
22:04
SPEAKER_01: from migraines when she was younger I think she still does a little bit
22:07
SPEAKER_01: but knowing you're as bad and I gave her lavender and peppermint oil and she said
22:13
SPEAKER_01: and she would put it on and she goes you know
22:16
SPEAKER_01: it takes the edge off way quicker like she goes and it can sometimes stop it getting
22:21
SPEAKER_01: to that full blown migraine so she found a way to make it work for her
22:25
SPEAKER_01: but she said sometimes she messaged me the other week and she said sometimes I'm in
22:29
SPEAKER_01: a situation where I can't get to those things like she was in a meeting
22:33
SPEAKER_01: and she felt it coming on
22:34
SPEAKER_01: and she had nothing she just had you know her note notetaker
22:38
SPEAKER_01: and she's like no you know I can feel it and then by the time she was able
22:42
SPEAKER_01: to remediate it she did need to go back to
22:45
SPEAKER_01: the other remedies but at the same time it's finding that balance of what works
22:50
SPEAKER_01: for you too you know it's finding that you know don't automatically numb things
22:56
SPEAKER_01: because it's more comfortable and allows you to keep going because
22:59
SPEAKER_01: when you keep numbing things then your body will go numb and then the
23:03
SPEAKER_01: the sign will just get louder and louder until it starts screaming at you as well
23:07
SPEAKER_02: and really what happens is something else develops you take that medication it
23:13
SPEAKER_02: really damages your liver.
23:15
SPEAKER_02: And then something else happens and you say, oh, this is totally unrelated.
23:20
SPEAKER_02: No, actually, if it's in your body, it's related.
23:24
SPEAKER_02: It can't not be because you are only one body.
23:27
SPEAKER_02: So I hear from, well,
23:29
SPEAKER_02: I have this other thing and then totally separate is this thing like, it's together.
23:35
SPEAKER_02: And if you don't know how the body works,
23:39
SPEAKER_02: You don't know that until you don't see the connection and the downstream harm
23:43
SPEAKER_02: that might be happening.
23:45
SPEAKER_02: But the good news is you can reverse that.
23:47
SPEAKER_02: You can make better choices starting right now.
23:50
SPEAKER_02: You don't need to.
23:51
SPEAKER_02: You can make one choice that is stepping away from perhaps poisoning your body.
23:57
SPEAKER_01: and Choosing a Better Method yeah for me I remember my turning point at this moment
24:03
SPEAKER_01: so I was already a little bit disillusioned with some medical advice
24:06
SPEAKER_01: that I've been given over a certain incident
24:09
SPEAKER_01: but I was like feeling this deeper pool like I started going to acupuncture
24:14
SPEAKER_01: and I like then ended up finding a naturopath but the biggest thing
24:18
SPEAKER_01: before I even found my naturopath was
24:21
SPEAKER_01: I came home one day after going to this conference and I opened the cupboard
24:25
SPEAKER_01: and saw all the disrupting hormone things and all the poison chemicals that were
24:30
SPEAKER_01: under my kitchen sink.
24:32
SPEAKER_01: So that's where I started.
24:33
SPEAKER_01: I started by, first of all, okay, I don't
24:37
SPEAKER_01: I can just clean with eucalyptus oil you know I'm like right I'm just gonna get rid
24:42
SPEAKER_01: of all of this so I did and
24:44
SPEAKER_01: then I was like all right now I'm gonna start my cupboards so then I started going
24:47
SPEAKER_01: through all the ingredients in my cupboards if it had a number on it and
24:50
SPEAKER_01: the number wasn't a safe number I had a little app you don't have
24:53
SPEAKER_01: to know all these things there's apps these days you know I'm like nope nope nope
24:58
SPEAKER_01: nope nope you know and then
25:00
SPEAKER_01: you know you just start doing those shifts one at a time I went extreme I did it all
25:04
SPEAKER_01: in the space of two days because I was I like when I'm in I'm all in you know but at
25:10
SPEAKER_01: the same time I guess for people listening it's just start first of all listening
25:14
SPEAKER_01: to your body and then second if there is things disrupting your life start
25:20
SPEAKER_01: to make those changes you don't you don't have
25:22
SPEAKER_01: to say oh it's too hard isn't it too hard to stay in pain or isn't it too hard to
25:28
SPEAKER_01: Stay in the symptoms you have.
25:30
SPEAKER_01: Isn't it easier just to throw out those sprays under your kitchen sink
25:34
SPEAKER_01: and get something natural?
25:36
SPEAKER_01: That's my feelings on it.
25:39
SPEAKER_02: You'd be surprised how much that really is on your skin.
25:44
SPEAKER_02: You inhale it.
25:45
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're a little more damaging, all those scented things.
25:50
SPEAKER_02: You don't need it.
25:51
SPEAKER_02: So whatever your entry point is, I like to say there's lots of on-ramps.
25:55
SPEAKER_02: You can get on the highway in any part you want,
25:59
SPEAKER_02: but once you're on,
26:01
SPEAKER_02: you will have new eyes and you will see this is how it should be
26:05
SPEAKER_02: because you will notice.
26:07
SPEAKER_02: You will notice what feels right to you and you will notice what is just not right
26:13
SPEAKER_02: and you'll change out your laundry detergent and you'll change everything out.
26:17
SPEAKER_02: My best thing is to cook dinner at home.
26:20
SPEAKER_02: cook dinner at home with real ingredients once you do
26:23
SPEAKER_02: that you'll you'll want fresh things because it will taste so good yeah
26:30
SPEAKER_01: and I just had the image when you're talking about the freeway
26:32
SPEAKER_01: then I was like yes Google Maps has an upgrade for your health
26:36
SPEAKER_01: and now you're driving on the freeway and you actually have
26:39
SPEAKER_01: the directions it's not getting lost
26:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:43
SPEAKER_02: So all those packaging,
26:44
SPEAKER_02: all that marketing,
26:45
SPEAKER_02: they spend lots of money to think that green leaf on the box is going to be healthy.
26:50
SPEAKER_02: Skip the box, go right to the market, get the vegetables, get it from the source.
26:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 100%.
26:58
SPEAKER_01: And as we start to finish our time together, Beth,
27:00
SPEAKER_01: I asked the guests that come on the show,
27:02
SPEAKER_01: if you could heal or change something in the world, what would it be?
27:06
SPEAKER_02: I would heal each person's heart.
27:10
SPEAKER_02: so that it was stronger.
27:12
SPEAKER_02: And so each person could feel how precious and valuable and how much love each one
27:20
SPEAKER_02: of us has inside.
27:22
SPEAKER_02: Because if you felt that, that would be your first priority.
27:27
SPEAKER_02: And when you have that self-love,
27:29
SPEAKER_02: when you want to honor that heart that's in you,
27:33
SPEAKER_02: that you know that you're a temple, it changes everything.
27:36
SPEAKER_02: It changes how you treat yourself and it changes everything.
27:39
SPEAKER_02: Now that you know everybody else has the same thing, it changes how you treat other people.
27:44
SPEAKER_02: It would be beautiful.
27:45
SPEAKER_02: 100%.
27:45
SPEAKER_02: 100%.
27:46
