Cold Exposure | S2E1 (E011)
Welcome back to Season 2! And first up is a deeper dive into Cold Immersion Therapy and intentional cold exposure as a wellness booster. Evie and Toréa talk through the various ways to get cold at home and they cover what kinds of health benefits can be derived from such activities. Moreover, highlighting something that can be found in nature and places to find cold immersion opportunities in the outdoors. This conversation is a cross-over episode with the Health In Motion, Cold Immersion Therapy episode where we cover even more benefits, the “how” and “why” and ways to incorporate this into your life. If you have not heard that episode yet, give yourself a treat and check it out.

Circumstances vs Excuses | S1E10 (E010)
One of the most grey areas when talking about health can be determining whether a situation is a circumstance, or is it an excuse? Evie and Toréa would assert it's not black or white, nor should it be expected to be so separate. Listen in on the discussion on ways to determine which is which, and how to modify as appropriate for each.

Blind Corners | S1E9 (E009)
Sometimes what holds us back in health are things we can not see! Such is the case commonly with mold exposure or living/working in a water damaged building. In this special episode we will hear Rachel’s story how she faced mold in two different homes, but also how that experience sparked her interest in a new field, Building Biology. Listen in to learn about the things we can do in such situations.

Where is your Focus | S1E8 (E008)
One of the hardest things to shift is what we focus on while we are healing or working towards health goals. Have you noticed, yet, that you may focus a lot on the symptoms you are experiencing or how you’re “not there yet?” This something Evie and I help our clients (and ourselves, as you’ll hear) shift on a regular basis. And when we start to focus more on what we want, than we on what we don’t want, the biology shifts even faster!

Language Matters | S1E7 (E007)
You know that critic voice in your head right? ;-) I know you do! I have her too! The truth is, those words that our inner voice uses, and the words that we say to others, and the words we hear others say to us, those words impact our biology in ways I would never have imagined. In recent years, scientists have begun to uncover the inner workings of our thoughts and the effect on biology. Which means, that by paying attention to your language, you can have a positive impact on your health! Listen in on the conversation that Evie & Toréa have around how much Language Matters.
