Inspired Grownups with Alana Banana
I'm Alana Gentry, aka Alana Banana (children’s music artist & content creator for The Alana Banana Show). I love hanging out with kids but I also really love connecting with you, the Grownups.
We all want the best for our kids and so much of that starts with how we treat ourselves. When we give ourselves permission to find and do the things we love each day, even if it's for a short amount of time, we feel better. When we feel better that influences those around us, especially the little one's in our lives.
With my short solo episodes or conversations with other grownups, I hope to give you a boost of inspiration for your day, a new perspective and a reminder that we can create anything we want in our lives for ourselves and for our family.

How Acupuncture and Sourdough Can Heal You with Mary Parr
Have you ever wondered if acupuncture can really help? Do you have a gluten sensitivity and don’t think you can eat real bread? In today’s episode we talk with Mary Parr about these topics as well as a severe condition that can happen during pregnancy, Hyperemesis Gravidarum or HG. To learn more about it you can go to HER Foundation at https://www.hyperemesis.org/.
About Mary:
Mary is an Acupuncturist, Intuitive Healer, and Sourdough Bread teacher. She seeks to empower people through the wisdom of Eastern Medicine and ancient methods of baking real bread. After she herself had many issues with “gluten”, she took a chance on eating bread when she was away in France and found herself feeling great, without any of her usual digestive upset nor brain fog. With a Master’s Degree in Eastern Medicine and a keen interest in whole food nutrition, she came home determined to find out why she and so many thousands of other people In the US had a similar issue with bread. After returning home with French flour, she started baking, quickly realizing that the secret was in the use of a sourdough starter, whole grains, and longer fermentation. Fast forward 7 years later, Mary has taught nearly 2,000 people to bake their own sourdough in the comfort of their own home.
She combines her Eastern Medicine practice, plant medicine allies, and intuitive healing work with her love of great bread and connection. It’s become a spiritual practice for her and she loves sharing her methods with everyone she meets.
Mary lives in Central NJ, where is is in Private Practice and teaches sourdough both on Zoom and in-person. She is a proud Mama to two sweet boys and one fur-baby, and a loving wife to her amazing hubbie.
