The Wellness Architect: How Ana Fink Blends Science and Spirituality
Your body speaks a language of its own—are you listening? In this eye-opening conversation with wellness architect Ana Fink, we dive deep into the revolutionary concept of "embodied wellness" and how reconnecting with your body's wisdom can transform your health and life.
Ana shares her compelling journey from medical school dropout to pioneering a new path in holistic health. After witnessing her mother's struggle with autoimmune conditions and experiencing her own health challenges, she embarked on an unconventional healing journey that completely changed her understanding of the body. "The body isn't actually attacking itself," Ana explains, challenging conventional autoimmune narratives. "It's attacking a foreign substance it doesn't recognize as self."
What makes this episode particularly illuminating is Ana's fresh perspective on symptoms we've been told are "normal." From perimenopause hot flashes to hormonal imbalances, she reveals how these common experiences are actually signals your body is sending—codes that can be deciphered and rewritten. Her practical recommendations include surprisingly simple remedies like raspberry leaf tea combined with nettle for hormonal balance and licorice root for adrenal rejuvenation.
The conversation takes fascinating turns through human design (a system that helps you understand your energetic blueprint), the concept of "coding your body" through food and thoughts, and even ventures into how cryptocurrency might create financial sovereignty for health-centered missions. Throughout it all runs a powerful thread: you are the architect of your own wellness.
Whether you're navigating perimenopause, curious about natural healing approaches, or simply ready to reclaim your body's innate wisdom, this conversation offers both practical tools and a profound shift in perspective. Listen now to discover how to decode your symptoms and recode your body for radiance rather than survival.

Hello and welcome to Intuitive Insights. I am your host, megan McDonough, and today I have with me a very special guest. I have Anna Fink. She is a wellness architect and lifestyle designer, pioneering a new path in holistic health. As a creator of embodied wellness, she blends science and spirituality and personal growth into a transformative process and a transformative approach for body, mind and soul. After leaving medical school to heal from personal and family health challenges, embarked on a deep, unconventional study of wellness, naturally reversing hormonal, digestive and reproductive issues. She coined the term preconception era to highlight the sacred space before motherhood, helping women reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their health and step fully into their power and potential. Now, before I welcome Ana, I want to tell you guys I'm so excited because there's a few things we're going to talk about, one of which is being perimenopause, the zone that I'm living in Screw everything up zone, but reorganize everything zone. She also is a radiant health, abundant and abundant wealth coach. Is that? Is that correct, anna?
Speaker 1:A wealth activator. She's got the language Wealth activator, and so we're going to talk a little bit about crypto, which I am intrigued about. I'm not sure where I sit on the fence with this yet, and Ana is passionate about human design, so that's also something that I have opinions, some knowledge and lots of lack of knowledge around, so I'm excited to welcome you. Welcome, ana. Thank you for coming on to Intuitive Insights and sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Speaker 2:Thank you so much, Megan. It's such a joy and an honor to be here. Thank you for your time and thank you for allowing me to be part of your show. Oh my God, I'm so happy to have you.
Speaker 1:So, okay, I'm going to start, I'm going to kick off with my two questions that kind of lay the groundwork, but then I want to dig into some of these topics that we can talk about. So the first one being is how would you define intuition? And let's start there.
Speaker 2:Intuition is something that exists within you. It's like your compass, the golden compass within you, guiding you to your truest and highest alignment. It's in your body. It's a yes, it's a no feeling in your body like interception. It's your body's knowing, your body's wisdom.
Speaker 1:I love that. And then, how do you use it in your life? And, more specifically, how did you use it to navigate your shift from the medical field into what you're doing now? And, specifically, what medical field were you pursuing?
Speaker 2:So that's a beautiful question. I received acceptance to medical school and upon receiving an acceptance letter, in particular, I felt it in my body. Instead of feeling the excitement and the elation and that lightness, I felt heavy, I felt dread, I felt no, my body was moving backwards. I was on this path of living my truth and I discovered in that moment, interception, and I was getting into the spiritual context and watching. You know the secret, and all of these different books were showing up on my path and I realized it's a no, I didn't know why.
Speaker 2:And then, along those same timelines, my mom was going through chronic illness and autoimmune conditions and I was like there's another way to heal. And I just knew it. I couldn't explain it, but I felt it. And so I was on the path to just pursue the conventional medical degree and then said, no, I was looking at naturopathic medical school, osteopathic medical school and even the naturopathic medical doctors that I was meeting One in particular was the president of the board here in New Mexico told me to put a pause on that and just encourage me to reflect. And in doing so, I pioneered my own path, which I call my personalized PhD, which has been the last seven and a half years of healing naturally healing my own symptoms and conditions, naturally helping my mom heal, saving her life, helping her reverse her condition, and delving into research and literature and my own embodied experience with breathwork and yoga and EFT and NLP and human design, and so that's what culminated into embodied wellness.
Speaker 1:Now okay, so let's start with. Let me see if there's anything I wanted to ask with that. Yeah, I do so with that. When you say healing naturally through breathwork and yoga I'm assuming Ayurveda we talked a little bit about Ayurveda, right? Yes, what is that the kind of? And when you say, helped heal your mom, do you want to share I mean, you don't have to what her autoimmune was and what your approach to that was?
Speaker 2:Absolutely so. With yeah, I pursued a lot of different rabbit holes and a lot of different literature, but it really started with the foundation of food. I studied and became an integrative nutrition health coach, so I was really focusing on the physical foundation in embodied wellness, which is the first, and then looking at the lifestyle food, hydration, cleansing the body.
Speaker 2:My mom was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus oh, lupus as well, yeah, and different neurological symptoms, scleroderma, and so what we have to understand is the body's always striving for balance. It isn't actually attacking itself, but they've termed it autoimmune the body attacking itself, but actually attacking a foreign substance, a pathogen, something that it does not recognize as itself, and then these symptoms flare, and so with this approach, we're looking at the root and not just labeling it and suppressing and masking symptoms. So she was in the hospital and they overdrew her blood and she almost died. And when you're drawing blood they often take too much and you have to be really careful, especially as women. Our immune system so much of it is in the blood and especially when you're dealing with chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, much of it is in the blood and especially when you're dealing with chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, that makes a huge difference.
Speaker 2:And so bringing her back by building her blood, cleansing her body cleansing has been such a huge part of her healing because we are exposed to so many toxins, chemicals, synthetic artificial substances that compromise our health and increase our toxic load, and toxic heavy metals feed these pathogens, these viruses that are leading to these chronic illnesses, autoimmune conditions, infertility, all of it yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Food is the first medicine. Right and um and in yoga, I know that if you're not, if the body isn't at ease, it's's in dis-ease, it's not. In're always coding our body for something, whether that's survival and stress or radiance and healing.
Speaker 2:So what are we going to be coding our body for? These symptoms are just symptoms that are signals. They're not normal, but because so many people are experiencing them and they're so common, they've become normalized they're not. People are experiencing them and they're so common they've become normalized. They're not.
Speaker 1:So you becoming your own wellness architect learn to decode your symptoms and recode your body for radiance. I love that and I was actually going to ask. I was like, oh, that's a good topic, thank you for not sliding by that. But the coding your body specifically, I wanted to just hover on that for a hot sec because I'm finding like, especially with my own little journey right now, where my body's reorganizing itself and the world around us is kind of reorganizing physically, energetically, mentally, and so there are a lot of things that are subconsciously being coded into our bodies, without sometimes awareness, and a lot of that disrupts the nervous system to the point where the nervous system no longer knows its home, its stasis, you know its stasis is not at the regular balance. Now, it's kind of like off to the right, it's not. So the balance balance isn't really balance, it's like it's just the closest thing it can get to them. So is that what you mean by when you say coding, that kind of like how you're training, like training the body to body, mind, spirit combination?
Speaker 2:Yes, and also there are certain foods that can code our body for survival the health hindering foods is what I call them. And then there are certain foods that code our body for creation, for radiance and repair, and those are the health promoting foods. And so it's that, and also the impact of the mind and the thoughts, because 70% of our body is comprised of water, roughly, and you've seen how water responds to different frequencies and thoughts, and it responds to our thoughts.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, when you have the health promoting and the health not promoting. I can't remember what you just said, the word you just used, health hindering. Yes, hindering, that's better. See, you got the language, girl. Your language is like spot on. Well, that's something we can dive into more too. Yeah, you're very good with the language and we can totally dive into that. So okay, can dive into more too. Yeah, you're very good with the language and we can totally dive into that, so okay.
Speaker 1:So, but according to our right, as far as I'm aware in my experience with it, is that the food itself has properties, but the properties change based on the way the food is prepared. So the food itself isn't. It's like like, the idea is like there is no good or bad, there just is, and what there is is information. The information is either going to add balance or take away balance. So it's either going to add to the like, like balance.
Speaker 1:I always talk about like with people. When you know, when we talk about balance, either in a yoga class or just in life and talking about in general, energetically, if you think about balance, is it static or is it kinetic? And most people kind of look at it and they think well, static, it's unbalanced and right moving. But the thing is, is balance is consistently moving, like if you've ever stood on a paddle board, or stood on a board on a on a roll, whatever it's. You're constantly making micro movements, either to adjust in opposite. You know one way or another. So the adjustment isn't like go left isn't bad, go right isn't bad. It's that left and right are determined on where the balance lies. Does that make sense to you?
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, exactly, and it does. It's always finding that balance and recalibrating as you go, and your body's always striving for balance, and there are ways to enhance our body's balance through the food, through lifestyle, right. And so with Ayurveda, there is a lot of wisdom there, and there is some wisdom that I found did not support my own journey, and so there are things where it's like take what resonates, but there are things where it's like take what resonates, but there are things where there are misunderstandings with certain foods, like Ayurveda doesn't really love raw foods, you know. Yeah, that's true. Well, that's not entirely true.
Speaker 1:I think it depends on the dosha or the imbalance. Yes, primarily more soft vegetable, highly spiced, is better for the digestive system process, but, like, if you're very heavy and you know you want lighter foods, you know it depends on where the balance is. I think when the balance is, yes, but like they're not. Ayurveda is not a fan of like smoothies or juices because it doesn't give the body the chance to properly digest and work its juices and function the way it's supposed to. But I have found, and you know, someone who loves Ayurveda.
Speaker 1:I love a good juice cleanse. I'm down with a juice cleanse. You know if I can work it into lifestyle with the kids. I used to do them all the time. So it's again like what you say. I think it's more. I think the what I'm hearing us both say in a way is that it's about being a scientist, to your wellbeing, to your balance, like treating yourself like a science experiment. You know, did this work? Did this not work? If this worked, put it in this category, continue to do it until it doesn't work. And if it doesn't work, you know what I mean. Like consistently monitoring in a detached way, just trying to get the information.
Speaker 2:Totally. And I will say sometimes what we think is not working might actually be working when you're starting to cleanse your body there are cleanse reactions that happen.
Speaker 2:And so some people I've spoken to who are very into Ayurveda or they say you know they're following traditional Chinese medicine they say they can't eat leafy greens. They have to have them cooked, if at all. Leafy greens are some of the most alkalizing foods and they have a very cleansing effect on the body and the intestinal tract. So when they're going through the intestines they're scouring the walls of the intestines. And if you have a lot of putrefied protein and rancid fat and oil in your gut that's lodged in the walls of your intestines, those leafy greens are going to scour the walls. So it's not going to feel good, it's going to have this intestinal discomfort kind of effect and people interpret that and say, oh, it's leafy greens. I mean you feel bad, when actually they're helping to heal.
Speaker 1:Is it you're talking about? Like, if they feel like it makes them gassy or uncomfortable?
Speaker 2:If it's like an expectorant and it's releasing the gas, causing that gas to be released, yes. Or it's just like maybe this discomfort, that's this feeling in their intestines and their tummy, ache kind of feeling where it's like, oh, this, so there are cleansing reactions, because these?
Speaker 1:well, how then? Here let's let's roll with this question. How do you know? It's a cleansing reaction versus an ill reaction right.
Speaker 2:So I think it depends on the food I mean if you're eating. For me, what didn't feel good with Ayurveda is that they said no to juices and smoothies. And I juice daily and I have smoothies daily because with the high voltage or with the you know, high centrifugal rate of the blender, it's cutting those cell walls, it's breaking those cell walls down so that the nutrients are released and then maximizing absorption in your body. So cleansing foods are fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, and so I've actually found embracing more of that lifestyle and I say cleansing isn't just a trend or a one time thing, it's like it's a lifestyle. So how do we incorporate it more into our lifestyle?
Speaker 2:And I have found that has been what's key for me, because the juices give you those nutrients in a highly concentrated form, without the fiber. Sometimes you want the fiber and that's why you do a smoothie, but there are specific fruits, vegetables, herbs to juice to maximize their medicinal properties, to maximize absorption into the cells, and so I have found that that works really well for me. And so for people who are eating fruits and vegetables and leafy greens, who are eating these foods and they're like oh, I'm not feeling good, like apples give me this intestinal discomfort or this tummy ache, because I've heard that a lot People say they can't eat apples. Well, apples are one of the most cleansing fruits as well, and so Are those people constipated. Some can be very constipated.
Speaker 2:Because apples can amplify constipation. No, they actually promote elimination. They have the pectin. But all these other living water and nutrients that cleanse the liver and you want to focus on cleansing the gut and the liver and the digestive health are intricately connected.
Speaker 1:Yeah, amazing, okay, okay. So let's pull human design in now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1:So how did you get interested in that?
Speaker 2:So that came about? I had always known about astrology and then I was listening to one of my mentors and I heard about human design through a podcast and I was intrigued and so I went and I found my. I pulled my chart, I inputted my details and I was like this is fascinating. I felt so seen. I felt so validated. I was like what is this? I am so curious.
Speaker 2:But I also felt like an ocean that was so unknown and so overwhelming at first, and so I just started dipping my toes in and the more I learned, the more I wanted to learn, and so it's been an evolution over the last probably six years of deepening my own understanding of my design but then other people's design and reading books and going through different programs and experiences centered on human design, and I found that it's changed my life, my relationship to myself, how I live, how I create and how I relate to others, because knowing another person's human design also helps me to communicate with them in a more efficient way. It's helped ease relationships and deepen connection with people. So it's been fascinating and it was just an organic process of finding human design or it found me. So do you use human?
Speaker 1:design with your clients when you're working with them.
Speaker 2:Always.
Speaker 1:Does that? Does it give you insight into what? Does it give it an insight to other than communication, like you mentioned?
Speaker 2:It gives me insight into how they're designed to make decisions, into how they're designed to work and designing their lifestyle and listening to their intuition. What is a yes, what is a no? Creating more alignment, creating more health, creating more wellness, creating more wealth.
Speaker 1:Let's get into that for a second, because for the intuition part sorry, because I have I don't know if I can pull my chart up for a second, but I was going to say we had talked earlier about my chart and I. There was a couple of things like the only thing that was open was the one kind of off to the side and the head on me, the crown, crown and so the other. So there was only the head was the only one. That was because what are the intuition centers again, so the head was the only one that wasn't.
Speaker 2:Because what are the intuition centers again? Well, I mean the G center can be a very strong one, because it's the sense of knowing who you are and knowing your direction in life and where you're going.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Your spleen is a huge intuition center, so you get these splenic hits, these intuitive hits, and the sacral is huge as well.
Speaker 1:Well, sacral, I know, is like filled in, yeah. Yeah, you remember that because one was open. That's off to the side, kind of you're a manifesting generator, just a generator.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're just a generator. I'm really bummed about that too. You're six, two generator, it doesn't matter. You, yeah, still got all the characters, but you're a pure sacral. So the one, the center that was not defined was the emotional, the solar plexus.
Speaker 1:So you're that had stuff in it. Everything had stuff in it except for the crown and then the one off to the side on the spleen, the spleen on the other side.
Speaker 2:You mean okay?
Speaker 1:yeah, there's like it looks like it's going along, and then it's just like one off to the side.
Speaker 2:Yes, and if you're looking at it, it's on the left side.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, that's your spleen. Sorry, we were speaking differently. We were speaking as if it were.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so how would you interpret?
Speaker 2:that in an intuitive space yeah, I mean the crown is connected to the divine and all this wisdom coming through. So you're open there. But there's also your Ajna, which is your third eye, which is also another intuitive center. And I always say it's your body, is the technology, your body is this divine channel for the wisdom to flow through you. And when you're sound in your mind and your body, this wisdom is just like this constant stream through.
Speaker 2:And so for us, it's about aligning the physical body and optimizing our physical health and our wellness to then really step into our power and potential. So for you, it's like leaning on your defined G center, that sense of I know who I am, I know where I'm going, and anything that is not in alignment, let that go, because so much of coming into alignment and listening to our intuition, it's not about doing more, it's about less and letting go of what is not aligned.
Speaker 1:Right, right, and so what's the difference between a defined and an undefined center?
Speaker 2:So the centers simply convey how we receive and transmit energy Right, and so when we have a defined center, we're more consistent in that energy and in that characteristic and those qualities, whereas an undefined center is consistently inconsistent. You're more open to the cultural conditioning, the narratives, others, energy, and so you don't just pick up what they are experiencing and feeling but you amplify it. So having that undefined crown is the crown and the root at the very base of your centers is your root and yours is defined. But those are the two pressure centers. So when we have the open or undefined crown, we can feel like all this pressure of insight and wisdom and ideas coming through.
Speaker 2:Well, knowing what to act on, what to go with it really comes down to your body, wisdom and intuitive insight of asking your sacral Does this feel in alignment? Is this an alignment? And you can really see if there's a connection between your sacral and your G-Center. To really speak from that knowing of I know who I am like, making decisions using the G-Center for that guidance of you. Already have that vision so clear. Now consult your sacral. Does this align? Is this an alignment? Does this bring me closer to that vision? Yeah, and amplifying your intuitive insight with that.
Speaker 1:I like that. What the hell is the G-Center? What about the G-Center?
Speaker 2:What is the G-Center? The G-Center is right here in the center of the chest, so it's like your Mani Chakra, that would be. Yeah, it's like the heart, but in human design the heart is off to the side and it's right here in the center. It's like right at your heart, and the heart, the G center rather, is all about your direction. No-transcript.
Speaker 1:I like it. I like it because I've heard a lot of, I've had a you know, explored a little bit about human design, like I share with you and I have friends who are very passionate about it and I find it intriguing. But I found it was making me too cerebral, you know, and which I guess anything when you're learning it does at the gate, like even like astrology, can seem too cerebral and, you know, structured, until you understand the language you know. So that is, we're very good at communicating that language, so it can tell you where your intuitive centers are, can it tell you about your communication style? But did you say something about your health?
Speaker 2:Like, yeah, like there is the personal health system in human design, but really it's like there. It'll tell you your environment, your arrow of digestion. It reveals to you your personality. What I find really fascinating is using it to create and curate a lifestyle that aligns with your vision for your life and for yourself and your health. So when you start to come into alignment and you listen to your authority, which is how you're designed to make decisions, and you begin to honor your strategy, which your strategy in human design is all about how you make things happen in life, and many people are out of alignment with their authority and out of alignment with their strategy. So we're pushing and we're overdoing it and we're depleting the adrenals and causing all this excess stress, coding the body for stress instead of coding the body for radiance.
Speaker 2:And so, as you know your human design, you know what a yes feels like. You know what a no feels like. You know how to make decisions that are in alignment with you. You know what your signature theme of alignment is. So, when you feel for you it would be frustration, the signature theme of misalignment, and the signature theme of alignment being satisfaction. And when you start to cue in on what makes you feel so satisfied, because you're a generator and you're designed to go and pursue more, and that which lights you up produces more fuel, more motivation, more inspiration, and you just want to go down the rabbit hole. And generators are here for mastery. They're here to dive deep and focus, and we have this intense aura sometimes where it's like we get so focused on one thing and we get obsessed and then it's like everything is blocked out.
Speaker 1:That's true, that is true. Well, how do you, how do you find your?
Speaker 2:strategy. So your strategy is just based on your energy type. So for you and for generators and manifesting generators, it is to respond that can be to thoughts, to feelings, to emotions, to ideas, to invitations, to people's conversations. So if you're responding to thoughts that are not making you feel empowered and connected, you're spiraling down into that vortex of frustration and then that generates more frustration, because when you focus on a feeling and you focus on a thought that generates a feeling that is not satisfying, you create more of that which you don't desire. So when you notice yourself spiraling, it's like, okay, what can I do to bring myself out of that frustration? What can I do to create more satisfaction?
Speaker 1:No, it's interesting is that recently I have been trying a new strategy consciously, slash, subconsciously with someone who I have frustration with, you know, and frustration with communication styles. Specifically, a new strategy has been to just not respond, and I gotta say it's feeling fabulous. I mean, it doesn't feel fabulous to, you know, have someone not communicating a style that you prefer, but you know, um, it's a hell of a lot better than losing your peace, you know. Yes, it's a life lesson for everyone absolutely what was I gonna?
Speaker 2:say okay, so, okay, so let's talk about this then. Does human design bleed into, like, say, per, about going back to the health piece? Because the reason I'm focusing on the preconception era is because I saw my mom experience very traumatic miscarriages, pregnancy, stillbirth, and she almost lost me at four and a half months. Becoming a mother has been one of my greatest dreams and desires, but I've also noticed that it's one of my greatest fears, just because of all the collective narratives around pregnancy and it's symptomatic and it's dangerous, or it's really uncomfortable and it's miserable, but it's worth the pain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like. Why is it that we have so many narratives around pregnancy? Like none of the symptoms that we're experiencing are normal. They're so common. At least every individual is experiencing one symptom, but symptoms are simply codes from the body that we learn to decode.
Speaker 2:And so it put me on this quest where I lost my period for three years. I was experiencing severe adrenal fatigue, I lost my libido, lost my ovulation cycle, and so I, at the peak of my health crisis, was feeling so broken, like there was something wrong with me. And someone was like you're so healthy, or the picture of health, and asking me about grandchildren, like if I was going to have children so that my parents could be grandparents. And I didn't even know if that was possible. And I felt heartbroken and I was like I don't know how to heal naturally, but I know there's a way and I'm going to find that. And so I created the evidence that I didn't have.
Speaker 2:And in doing so, I became so aware of all these other things, like infertility and perimenopause and menopause and all these other symptoms that are not normal. And so I started focusing in on the preconception era, so that I can support myself in creating radiant health, which is the foundation for a radiant pregnancy and a foundation for later in life, post-pregnancy, the future of my child, the future of my body, because perimenopause and menopause symptoms are simply symptoms, they're not normal, and you can recode your body for radiance, the hot flashes, the weight gain, the libido, the adrenal fatigue, that all those symptoms can be reversed, and I've helped so many other women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s reverse these hormonal imbalances and issues that they have lived with and learned to manage for so long because we were told it's just the way and there's no way to heal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1:There's so much coming out now about women's health not being explored, not being understood, not even being cared enough about to look at, you know, and that it is marginally different from men's health.
Speaker 1:That is very intriguing to me because I even my own doctors and you know going to them and being like and look at my chart and I realize I'm like the more I know about I didn't know what perimenopause was, because I had my children late and I kind of went my second child kind of into, you know, postpartum, into peri, you know, and I don't really know that that was happening and I was like God, what is going on? Everything I was doing before no longer is working. Like, it's just not working and it's like, you know, somebody took my body in the middle of the night, changed the rulebook, didn't leave the rulebook and just like I was like left trying to figure this out on my own and the doctors have always been like you know, well, it's just this. And I'm like, yeah, no, that's not an excuse, sorry, you can't just say it's just perimenopause.
Speaker 1:You're going to have to live with it Like screw you, no way.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, you know what I mean. I know what you mean. And it's by design. They tell us that by design. You look at the medical system and the history of the medical system. It's very patriarchal.
Speaker 2:Whenever a woman was dealing with something real, oh, it's in your head, you'll get over it. Oh, take a pill. Oh, get on birth control. Oh, you're hysterical. Let's do a hysterectomy. That's the issue.
Speaker 2:Women, our bodies are the source of our power.
Speaker 2:All humans, our bodies are the source of our power and when we are dealing with symptoms, we sense this disconnect that's happening in our body. And instead of connecting to the body and the body, wisdom, we often go into the mind and try to figure it out and go to the doctors and go to all these different practitioners and who's going to help me heal and how do I heal? And then we get sent down a rabbit hole and I've seen people go to 30, 40 different specialists and get worse because they're told so much that conflicts and it's all this misleading information. And what heals is truth and we need truth. Like our bodies are the source of our power, our bodies, our health has been under attack because there aren't answers that we need in the mainstream like I, I've found answers that are misleading, and actually what's ironic is the very things they tell us to avoid are the actual things that our body needs to heal, and the very things they tell us to do to heal can actually create more symptoms and prevent our healing.
Speaker 1:So what are some specifics in those that are said to not do that could heal and vice versa, to do that could harm?
Speaker 2:said to not do that could heal and vice versa, to do that could harm. Yeah, so I know. For me, I was told to do high fat, high protein diet to promote fertility and healthy cycle and healthy hormones. That actually made me a lot worse. Yeah, weight gain, inflammation, digestive health issues, skin health issues flared, my libido still didn't come back, my adrenal fatigue was worse than ever, still no cycle. All of these different things. And I was like why are they telling me to eat all this protein and high fat? Well, it's good for the you know your uterus. It's good for your ovaries. Well, come to find some of those. Like those animal-based products, protein can actually create hormonal imbalance for several reasons Because a lot of them have hormones in them.
Speaker 2:Yes, that and their adrenalized foods. So some of the health-hindering foods are those that create more adrenaline, Because anytime we're eating something that has adrenaline, like animal meat, it's going to stir an adrenaline spike in our body and that adrenaline is a stress hormone that says okay, code your body for stress.
Speaker 1:And survival not creation, not healing.
Speaker 2:You're in fight-flight mode. But also, when we eat a high-fat diet, we're eating foods that are thickening our blood and the body, in order to compensate, is so intelligent in its design and releases adrenaline from the adrenals to thin the blood. There's another adrenaline reaction and the liver, in order to compensate and protect the rest of the organs in the body, soaks up that adrenaline. To protect the body and the liver is vital. It is the most overlooked and undervalued organ. It has everything to do with our hair, skin and nails, weight, aging with grace, digestive health, heart health, lymphatic system health everything stems from the liver. So when we start to cleanse our body and we cleanse the liver, things come back into balance.
Speaker 2:Similarly, I was told to avoid fruit and be careful with certain high glycemic index fruits, but fruit is the most cleansing food that exists food group really that exists in the world. So why are we told to avoid fruit? You know, for every patient cured, a profit is lost, and this is what I became so aware of on my path to become a medical doctor. Is that so many other doctors that were mentoring me were like I just feel like a medication manager. I don't have the time with my patients. I don't get to speak with them about the deeper underlying narratives and emotions, and one of my mentors wrote a book and called the healthcare system a disease care system, and that stuck out to me.
Speaker 1:That's true, it's very true.
Speaker 2:And so now we're in this revolution of personal power and people are becoming aware of what has been told to us, the misleading information that has led us astray, that has led us to disconnect from our body, disconnect from our power, because when we're connected to our bodies, we're connected to our power. When we rise in our power, we are unstoppable. We activate our true purpose, our true potential, and that turns the current system and powers that be on their head.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember reading years ago like, natural medicine has always been kind of a geek out subject of mine since my well, early 20s, before my 20s, late teens and um, one of the things I remember reading back then this is a while ago was, um, that, uh, in ancient china the king would pay the or emperor, whatever, would pay the doctor, the health person, whatever he was called, you know, the, the doctor guy, every month a certain amount of money, and if he got sick he stopped paying him until he got well again. And I remember thinking like, well, that's how it should be. You know, like we're paying people to stay sick, not to get better. You know, if their health is in someone else's hands, wouldn't you want to pay them to stay healthy instead of to pay them when you're sick? And I thought that was really interesting.
Speaker 2:It's brilliant and that's what I have found too is I choose and I hire mentors who exude and embody that which I desire, whether it's Radiant Health, the business, whatever it is, I'm like that person. So if I'm going to my doctor and they're not an embodied, living, breathing example of radiant health, what am I learning from it? They're telling me to do the very things that they themselves are not doing, or they're telling me to do something that is actually health hindering rather than health promoting, and it's not their fault. This is the design of the system, right, you know? And we start to give our power away at a very young age and trust others external to us, rather than the wisdom of our own body and the truth within, rather than you know. We just give it all away and think that they know best. And this is my body and these are symptoms and I just like.
Speaker 2:This is what I'll have to learn to live with, and I have to suffer and struggle, and so many women, especially women, because our immune system, when we're menstruating is lowered by 80 percent, and when we're ovulating it's lowered by 40 percent, and during pregnancy it's lowered by 50 percent, 40%, and during pregnancy it's lowered by 50%, and something so interesting is that when you're giving birth, you release more adrenaline in one birth than one woman in her whole life if she's never had a baby, and so that adrenaline really has that effect and so it takes a toll on the body and the strength of the body. So when you're dealing with perimenopause and menopause, you want to focus on your adrenal health. The adrenals are so overlooked as well. Bring those into balance, and there are certain foods and supplements and herbs to really support the balance of the body.
Speaker 1:So what would you say to someone like moi who is going through perimenopause and the thing I've also noticed that is that it's not one size fits all? I have a lot of friends at different stages of perimenopause menopause, and they all experience different symptoms. They all have different it manifests differently, just like everyone's cycle is different. So what are the? Do you have like a few things that you would recommend or, like you know what I mean Go-to strategies for finding that alignment in the chaos of change?
Speaker 2:Absolutely so. What I would say is that chaos precedes creation. So we can harness that chaotic energy and create radiance, right. So? And there's an intelligent design behind the words that I use. I've been studying with a mentor and we speak a lot about the coding and the frequency of words, because every time we speak, it's like abracadabra as I speak, I spell and we're unlocking frequencies and realities in the quantum field as we speak. So there are words that create and promote success and health and wealth and feeling good.
Speaker 2:And how do we speak about ourselves? How do we speak about our body? Right? So that's the first step. But then, knowing your body blueprint, you have a unique body blueprint which is influenced by your history, your environment, your toxic load, pathogenic load, etc. So that's going to then lead to a different presentation of symptoms. But there are so many things that you can begin doing, like raspberry leaf tea, that's going to help harmonize your body and your hormones and balance them naturally. I've had so many women who either tried synthetic hormones or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and they were able to come off of them because we balance the body naturally and they felt better without those synthetic hormone replacements.
Speaker 1:I swear by red raspberry leaf tea. I swear by it. I tell everyone who's pregnant to do it in their last trimester. And then I found that I always had bad cramps with my menstrual cycle and I swear by it. Then I started taking it after I had my kids for that and it's like it's a wonder drug it's amazing.
Speaker 2:It's an herb and if you want to amplify its effect, combine it with a nettle leaf, which is an adaptogenic herb that has high silica content. That's amazing for hair, skin and nails. Antiviral, amazing to rejuvenate the adrenals. Red clover is another one that helps to flush the lymphatic system and purify the body, so it's releasing phytoestrogens and all these different estrogens and chemicals from the body. There, it's releasing phytoestrogens and all these different estrogens and chemicals from the body. There are so many supplements. Zinc sulfate would be an amazing one. A lot of times, it's a zinc deficiency that creates symptom arising, because zinc is so foundational for immune strength and support. I also love oh my gosh licorice root. Licorice root is a huge one because it is one of the fastest ways to rejuvenate your adrenals and your adrenals digestion as well, and so throat.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, and it's adaptogenic and it's antiviral and it brings back the adrenals online very quickly. So you'll want to do two weeks on, two weeks off.
Speaker 1:That's good to know. Okay, so, and then, what did you? How did your body blueprint? Where are you getting that from? Where do we find that out?
Speaker 2:So I that's one of my signature sessions is a body blueprint breakthrough session. It's this wellness intake form based on your history, based on past illness, based on past pregnancy symptoms, and it's like, okay, what are the symptoms you're experiencing? And then we look at all of this and see, okay, well, it looks like you're like high toxic load, there's pathogenic activity, there's toxic heavy metals in the environment that we're exposed to on a daily basis, even if we're not aware, or even if we are aware and so controlling our own environment, our personal care products, those can have a lot of endocrine disruptors. If we're not hydrating how we're nourishing our food, our environments, our stress levels, all of that impacts our body blueprint. And so, just like you're building a home, you begin with the blueprint right and then the architect comes into play.
Speaker 1:Exactly Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2:So wellness architecture and lifestyle design truly is an art, it's an alchemy, it's a science, it's a journey of becoming the healthiest, most radiant, embodied version of yourself. And so we have your body blueprint, and that sets the foundation for radiant health. And as you begin to come into balance with your body and reconnect to your body, your power unlocks in a whole new level. You stand differently, you sit differently, you speak differently, you feel differently about yourself, you see the world differently, and you then begin to design your life in a way that aligns with this new vision that you hold, or maybe it's a vision within you that you've always held. The embodied woman is within you. She's a frequency that already exists within you. It's not about getting there or doing more to get to be her.
Speaker 1:It's activating from within. Amen, amen, sister. Yes, okay, so all right. So, anna, how do people find you?
Speaker 2:How can they work with you? Yes, so find me on Instagram. My handle is I am like the mantra. I am Ana Fink and you can also go to my website, anafinkcom. If you would like to book a speak with me, call. That is a free 30 minute discovery call to really hone in on your unique body, your unique story, your symptoms. I know for me, when I was going through my health crisis, I just wanted to speak with someone about what I was going through and to speak with a wellness architect that didn't yet exist but influenced and inspired me to create what I've created. Because I wanted someone who knew the body, who also was aware and passionate about the spiritual element of wellness and the mindset, the personal growth aspect. Book a call with me and we can see if we're a good fit and I can offer you different guidance and I do one-on-one curated experiences so they're really tailored to your unique body blueprint, your human design, your vision. It's all this intentionally curated experience to build and architect that radiant health and become who you're here to be.
Speaker 1:I love it, I love it and I'll put all your information in the show notes and everything. Thank you so much, ana, for coming on. My pleasure. This was fun. I learned a lot. I'm like making. I took notes, you know, I'm like making, I took notes, you know. And actually I appreciate too that the way you speak about human design was illuminating for me, because I haven't. I was always curious about it, I felt boxed in by it, but the way you spoke about it opened that up for me, so I appreciate that.
Speaker 2:Well, my pleasure. I'm so happy too, because truly human design was never intended to limit us, rather expand us, opened that up for me. So I appreciate that. Well, my pleasure. I'm so happy too, because truly human design was never intended to limit us, rather expand us. Human design is the science of differentiation. We are not here to conform to the conventional standards and norms. We are here to pave an unconventional way, and we are the ones to walk our path. We are the ones to architect our health, we are the ones to architect our wealth, and so we are the one. We are the foundation, we are the art, we are the alchemy, the artist, the architect, the architecture it's us. So human design really is an embodied experience. I don't want you to just know it. I want you to go from understanding and knowing it to embodying it, to living it, because that's when it changes your life. You can learn all this information at a cognitive level but, then you're just in that disembodied, disconnected state.
Speaker 2:Yes, you begin to embody it.
Speaker 1:That's the transformation well, that's pretty much anything, isn't it too right exactly?
Speaker 2:right. Yes, and something I know you mentioned in the beginning. We were going to delve into crypto. I'm just going to share one. Do I have a few?
Speaker 1:minutes. Let's talk about it quick. Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2:So I have always felt the pull to crypto. I felt it five and a half years ago, yeah, and I didn't listen to that intuition to invest in the mentor and to invest in crypto at that time. So last year I felt the ping very strongly again and I found a mentor In in fact, I found three plus. So I've been in three masterminds with these mentors, and cryptocurrency is not conspiracy, it truly is divine prophecy. So when we're speaking it in a very embodied and spiritual way, it's here to liberate humanity from the slavery, debt-based system. So cryptocurrency has been portrayed as volatile, a scam, it's risky, it's complicated, it's hard and all of these things, and it can feel really intense and, especially based on what we've known and especially on the financial system, it's been more dominated by male individuals, male role models and figures leading the way, and so for me, I feel like it's very Sorry, finance Crypto's led by males too, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Exactly. Oh, okay, a lot of yeah, majority of the individuals are male, yeah, yeah. And so it felt like this field that was kind of obscure and hard to understand and it's by design, like what's going on here. And so when I felt into crypto, it was a ping, it was an intuition that I felt in my body, that I was like something big is happening. We are, if you look at it, from the Kali Yuga Iron Age, now the Satya Yuga, the Golden Age. We are in such a period of transformation and revolution.
Speaker 1:There's two other ages in between Kali and satya.
Speaker 2:There's treptia and dwarpa as well right, right, but moving from the iron age, moving from the dark to the light, yes, yeah, or golden age of satya exactly yes. So, moving into the light, we're seeing the dissolution of what was, yes, the systems global, global political, financial, all those that serve the powers that be the powers that were but didn't serve humanity.
Speaker 2:Cryptocurrency is not just speculation. It's the foundation for the new financial system, and that foundation is set. We already have the infrastructure that's been set. Now we're in this period of regulation, and with that regulation comes more clarity and stability in the prices. So, yes, you have these things that were happening that it feels so volatile. It feels risky. But again, there's risk with anything right, and for me, it feels riskier not to invest in crypto than to invest, because we are at such a juncture in our period of history where it's the greatest wealth transfer of our time and it's not just a financial evolution, it's a revolution. What's transforming right now is going to empower us to position ourselves accordingly, to create sovereign generational wealth to fund our visions, our missions, our visions for this world and for what's coming to create in a new way.
Speaker 1:Well, explain to me then, just give me like the elevator pitch of how crypto does that in a different way.
Speaker 2:And how it does it.
Speaker 1:So how it does what exactly how it does that, creating generational wealth versus what we have now.
Speaker 2:Right. So there are things that are going to be kind of similar to what we've experienced, but as they're easing into the new system, they need to make it more of that smooth transition but to create the generational wealth in a way that we haven't seen. I mean, you saw earlier with Bitcoin it made a lot of millionaires, but now this is about positioning yourself before retail adoption, because right now prices are lower on these utility based coins and so when you invest in the infrastructure and you're not just a retail user of something like Square, you know those payment systems like Square and different things and like Square, you know those payment systems like Square and different things, these technologies. When you invest early, the ROI is huge. So then you, as that investor, receive that ROI and then you set yourself up to create wealth. But then you create generational wealth because of the way you structure it, because of the way you invest because of the way you invest.
Speaker 1:The only thing I have I'm wondering, though, is how is that different than like getting in on oil early or getting into the stock market before it started, and both of those things created generational wealth for very small amounts of people, so how is that?
Speaker 2:different. So for these coins, like oil, is very different. That's extrapolating the earth, right? That's extrapolating the earth right. That's extrapolating these resources from the earth in a way that is not very conscious at all. That is not very harmonious.
Speaker 2:But this, these technologies, they have a frequency of their own. There are like 21,000 cryptocurrencies, thousand cryptocurrencies. Of those, maybe 1% will survive regulation because we're really moving out of the speculative market and into utility-based markets and utility is what drives the price stability and is what is going to be used the infrastructure. So it's not like oil, it's not like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is very energy intensive. One Bitcoin transaction can give power to a home for a week. You know they're not very efficient. The Bitcoin transactions, they're not green. And so with these newer technologies XRP, xlm, these different utility-based coins those are green, they're fast, they're effective, they're solving real world problems. So there's a real use case and it's putting the power back in the hands of the people. Because they are deflationary assets, meaning they increase in value over time because there's a fixed supply. You can't print it infinitely like you can money, paper money, fiat system. That dollar has depreciated in value 99% over the last 100 years.
Speaker 1:So who would you say to invest in XRP? Xrp is your go-to.
Speaker 2:Yes, okay, it's a technology. It's solving a huge problem within our payment system Slow cross-border payments with SWIFT that take days or weeks to settle, that are costly, that go through these vostro-nostro accounts, these intermediary institutions, instead of directly to the recipient from the sender, and they're fast. It's the internet of value, it's the bridge between currencies. So it's like.
Speaker 2:The analogy I like to use is like when people were, you know, driving a horse and buggy and they were like, hey, do you want a car? Well, it wouldn't have made sense because there were no roads, right, well, once the roads were created and paved, they're like, oh great, we have smoother terrain to drive on. Then they see a car driving and that car goes fast. So now they're like, hey, what about that car? Well, the XRP Ledger and what? Ripple, the company has created, ripplenet, and all the banks and institutions that they have partnered with Deloitte, santander, all of these big banks they are the highway, that's the plumbing for the financial system, and so XRP is the car that drives on the highway, all right, I will look into it.
Speaker 1:drives on the highway All right, I will look into it. I do know that a lot of astrologers have spoken to this point of I think it has to do with where Uranus is positioned or transiting that the disruption of the financial system is happening, and so a lot of them are pointing to cryptocurrencies, and I have been hesitant to look into it because it sounds like the car when you have a horse and buggy. You know, although I, and also I personally don't think that we are in a space as humanity yet that is as elevated as the currency in which you speak. Right, I'm happy to look into it, but humanity still has a lot of lessons to learn. Unfortunately, it feels like about power, greed and hoarding resources.
Speaker 2:I totally understand and I hear that, and that's why I'm like okay, when we have the power, when we have the money, we can then use that. With that great power comes great responsibility and also great impact, so then we can influence the new systems, new creations, and the window of opportunity has never been better, the reward has never been lower and the risk has never been lower. You're like what are you saying? You're opposite. No, risk has never been lower and the reward has never been higher. Yeah, so right now there's so much momentum and we're seeing more clarity come through and this isn't just going to go away. Crypto is here to stay. The crypto future is here.
Speaker 1:It doesn't seem to be going away. I mean it's like the butt of a joke, but it's not going away.
Speaker 2:It's not, it's not. But here's the thing. Talking about frequency, xrp holds the frequency of Christ consciousness. Okay, feel into that, because for me, bitcoin has been exploitive like it's been exploitation. Well, here.
Speaker 1:Hold on a second. I need to slow you roll on this a little bit. Hold up, hold up, because Christ consciousness in this day and age doesn't carry a lot of weight because it's been tossed around, like you know, like a bad hooker not to be. You know gross about it. But consciousness has been labeled on a lot of things that I would not align with the frequency of Christ consciousness. The frequency of Christ consciousness and what that means to one may not mean the same to another. The value of those alchemical words is not consistent across boundaries. Does that make sense? Makes sense, but I'm happy to look into it and to feel into the energy of the company and what this is. And you've got me curious enough that I'm going to sit down and meditate on it. Yeah, meditate on it. That's also another. That's a beautiful. But to everything we've been speaking about today, having the process of I'm not sure, but I'm going to look at it in an intuitive space. I'm going to meditate on the energy and the root of what this is, to see. If I'm experiencing a symptom or an illusion or a story, what is it that it really is at its root? And I'm open to looking at that and for the first time, because it's been on the back of my mind a lot.
Speaker 1:You know, I was very much into solar energy when it first started coming out and I told my husband to invest in SolarCity. We lived in California and SolarCity and the specific reason I said SolarCity I got like something at a farmer's market, somebody was handing out something for SolarCity and I didn't even own a home but I was like I thought it was interesting, I like the idea of solar panels and just solar energy in general. And then I looked into the company and Elon Musk owned it. Now, this is before he went back to it, but he owned that. This is before Tesla came out, you know, and or maybe it was around, but not as out in the open as it is now. So I suggested to him to invest in it. He did. It ended up, you know, tesla.
Speaker 1:Tesla swallowed up SolarCity and so our stock became Tesla stock and so that was like you know, but that was an energetic thing and I consistently feel into that because he started getting volatile and so then so did the stock. The stock became volatile because he was volatile, and so the energy of the company and the stock were the same and I'm really kind of been on the fence like do we sell, do we keep? Do we sell, do we keep? Because of that? But he is forward thinking, which is what I liked about it initially. So what I'm saying is is like going back to the making decisions on an energetic space that are forward thinking, forward movement. I am 100 with you there and I have not done the homework yet to sit down with crypto. I've just made fun of it.
Speaker 2:Sorry, I have, but no, that's fine, most people do and everything, yet to sit down with crypto I've just made fun of it, sorry, I have.
Speaker 1:No, that's fine, most people do and everything can. Now I'm willing to sit down and look at it. Now you've made me curious enough to sit down and just like not make fun of it. Just look at it.
Speaker 2:Look at it, yeah, feel into it and know that it's your intuitive no and your knowing, you know and honor that.
Speaker 1:And there is made money, a ton of money, on crypto out the gate, like like crazy money. Like you know, in like a couple of months or something. I don't know what he's doing now, but you know, I know he's out of it now. I think it was Bitcoin or something coin or something, but yeah, I mean, I guess I guess for me, what it comes back to and this is something I'll also sit with is Is it, is it truly about just making money, or is it about what's better energetically for humanity? And from my understanding about what Bitcoin is, I'm not, I haven't been convinced that it's a better situation. So, and that is the time that you sit down and you look at it- yes, yeah, and Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency.
Speaker 2:Btc is the ticker beta test coin, so it was the test. That hasn't been updated. And that frequency of Bitcoin? I don't own Bitcoin. I have not invested in any Bitcoin, because that frequency to me is it's not it's that heavy.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's very awkward, it's very greedy, and that's right?
Speaker 2:No, exactly. And this like for me, it's like I'm doing this not just for me but the world and for the wellness center and this healing center that I have in my mind to create.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So we have wealth in the hands of people with hearts for humanity that then have the power to shift the direction and to influence the new era that we're coming into, especially in 2027, with the new paradigm. Yes, well, I love your vision. Yeah, so many different tangents, but also everything connects. Yeah, because in embodied wellness it's multidimensional wellness for the multidimensional human, and health and wealth and human design and all of these things all relate. I did do a masterclass, if you would like to watch the replay, on crypto. It's called Decrypted, decoding Crypto.
Speaker 1:And I would like to watch the replay on crypto. It's called decrypted, decoding crypto, and I'd be happy to share that with you. You share with me and I'll put it in the show notes as well, everyone.
Speaker 2:Yes, because it's so fascinating. Like so many people, I'm running this mastermind right now worthy, wealthy woman. Yes, and I had no intention on sharing about crypto publicly in the way that I am now, because it was just a personal journey. And then I was like I see the power of what it can create for the world and I started talking about it and people are like I don't trust crypto, but I trust Ana and I trust your vision and I'm borrowing your beliefs and I also was speaking about it and they're like I love how you're weaving the human design and energetics and spirituality and consciousness and crypto. So it's not just the crypto. Crypto it's just. Crypto is like a vehicle for this greater expansion and evolution. Sure, and for me, it's like it's hard to be broke and it's not spiritual to struggle and it's hard to be wealthy. What hard do we want to choose? Well, it is spiritual to struggle.
Speaker 2:It's just spiritual to not be in the struggle of the struggle right, exactly like there is the like energy hod the inner struggle of like facing those inner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's the struggle no longer affects you, right, right, but, but the struggle in the 3d form continues to exist, and that's part of the lesson, that's part of the journey, that's, that's part of the evolution of wealth and wisdom, you know? Anyway, all right, I love this. Yeah, I'll definitely put that in there and thank you so much. We'll talk more soon.
Speaker 2:Yes, we'll be in touch. Have a beautiful day.
Speaker 1:Thank you so much. Ditto Back at you so much. All right, take care Bye.
