Hacking Your Health: Baby Steps Render Huge Results

Cassie Wilcox & Erica Scheifflee Season 2 Episode 23

In this special episode, Natalie Benoit, co-owner of Inspiration Wellness Center, joins us for a BIG talk on taking our health and power back. Join us to hear about Natalie’s own health journey. Natalie shares about having a stroke at 15 years old, experiencing constant migraines, and being diagnosed with bipolar, depression, anxiety, and a neurological disorder. And that’s just to name a few! By age 31 when having her first child, Natalie discovered the path to optimal health and ALL of her ailments had disappeared. How did she do this? A major avenue was FOOD AS MEDICINE.

Natalie shares about the “miracles” she has witnessed working with clients facing everything from cancer to MS, ADHD, diabetes, and various other psychiatric and autoimmune disorders. Miracle? Or the power of food to allow our body to heal? 

If you or a loved one is experiencing ANY issues with physical, emotional, or mental health, this episode is for YOU. 

During this extended episode, Natalie covers:

  • The top things to AVOID in your diet:
    • Processed foods, faux foods including artificial dyes, flavors. Preservatives.
    •  White sugar, corn syrup, HFCS, artificial sweeteners
    • Vegetable oils, partially hydrogenated oils, canola oils
    •  Wheat: whether organic or not
    • Pasteurized diary: whether organic or not
  • The top things to ADD in your diet:
    • Produce, produce, produce! Including fruit – no “fruit fear” here!
    • Fermented foods and beverages
    • Bone broth
  • The power of zeolite
  • And so much more!

We admit there’s a lot of information here. We invite you to hold onto what resonates and let the rest go for now. Pick a starting point. Select one baby step. And then another…and another. Because after all, as Natalie says, “baby steps render huge results.”
