Reconnecting with Nature + Resiliency with Nikki Burnett (part 2)

What happens when we reconnect with nature's forgotten wisdom? Functional nutritionist Nikki Burnett reveals how asking deeper "why" questions uncovers crucial health connections most practitioners miss.

Discover the shocking case of a patient with potential Parkinson's whose two-decade exposure to nuclear facilities went unmentioned until Nikki's persistent questioning. Learn how healthcare workers suffer from disrupted circadian rhythms that manifest as mysterious symptoms decades later—connections they never make on their own.

Nikki challenges conventional wisdom about sunlight, explaining why our fear of the sun disconnects us from a vital health resource. "The sun is a gift. We don't have life without it," she explains, offering practical guidance for safe exposure without toxic sunscreens.

The conversation explores grounding (or "earthing")—the practice of connecting directly with the earth's electrical field—and how modern lifestyles have insulated us from this healing connection. Learn about simple solutions like grounding mats that can reconnect us when outdoor access is limited.

Detoxification myths get debunked as Nikki explains how our bodies continuously process toxins and why aggressive "cleanses" can sometimes do more harm than good. She recommends the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org) as an essential resource for evaluating the safety of everyday products.

Most profoundly, Nikki shares why returning to basics often succeeds where complex protocols fail. "The more complex you are, the more complex people want to treat you," she observes, yet sometimes the simplest interventions—quality sleep, appropriate nutrition, sunlight exposure—yield the most powerful results.

Introduction to Reigniting Resilience

Speaker 1 0:06

All of us reach a point in time where we are depleted and need to somehow find a way to reignite the fire within. But how do we spark that flame? Welcome to Reignite Resilience, where we will venture into the heart of the human spirit. Resilience where we will venture into the heart of the human spirit. We'll discuss the art of reigniting our passion and strategies to stoke our enthusiasm. And now here are your hosts, natalie Davis and Pamela Cass.

Speaker 2 0:41

You're sitting down with them for those 15 minutes to an hour. What are some of the questions? You're sitting down with them for those 15 minutes to an hour. What are some of the questions you're asking? Are you you're digging into? I know you say you do an intake form, which I don't even know if I would know a lot of those answers. But I mean I'm sure I could figure it out. But what are some of the things in your that intake that you're doing with them, that you're listening for?

Speaker 3 1:05

That's. You know. It's this interesting thing when I was in pharma, I you're taught how to do sales right and I always there is. There is a time when questions are just unnatural and I hated the job. It was a terrible job, it was no fun, it was high pressure, I was delivering lunches. It's like this is not where I need to be in life.

Speaker 3 1:25

But I say that because you, some things just come to you that you, when you, when you love it and you have to know it, and I'm not saying I'm the end all be all, but I did not do well with asking questions to doctors about taking drugs or about selling drugs.

Speaker 3 1:39

But when I'm with a client or a patient and we're working through the process, going back to always asking why is kind of where I? I'm going to give you an example this is, you're going to go. So I have a patient who is he's really been struggling, potential Parkinson's diagnosis right, don't know for sure, but that's what they're thinking. And so we're going through his history, we talk about the trauma and over the, you know, probably hit on you know, the last 10 years. So I don't know what, how the conversation went, but I think that I might've said well, what happened before that, or why did this happen? Or whatever it was. It was just, you know, continuing to dig. Well, nobody had ever asked him this before and he'd never told anybody this before, but he spent basically 20 years in a nuclear reactor.

Speaker 4 2:31

Key piece. Key piece Minor detail Minor detail, it has no significance.

Speaker 3 2:37

And so and I say, nuclear reactor, that's you know, I don't really know, but it was 10 years in two different nuclear sort of facility, kind of things, right. So I just went, okay, so that might matter a little bit, and he just never thought that it would, and and I, you know, is it the end all be all, I don't know. But I just didn't really even know what to say to that, and so that's that's kind of you know that it was a big lesson for me too, and just never stop asking why and never keep going back further. I always go back as far as I can possibly go in their history and just continue tweaking. Just continue tweaking those questions, because a lot of times they'll go oh yeah, well, so this happened, but I just never thought twice about it. Yeah, I mean, and there's so many professions, oh yeah, well, so this happened, but I just never thought twice about it.

Speaker 4 3:26

Yeah, I mean, and there's so many professions like you talk about being in this nuclear reactor site, but I have the thought about nurses and doctors that work these shifts that interrupt their sleep cycle and how that impacts their health. Down their line, right, Like they love having the 32 hours on and then they're off, right, or whatever. It is like the six days and then the two days off or whatever, but they're going like such big sections of their life that they're like not sleeping and it's high stress, high pressure. Everything is urgent in those moments. And then down the line 40 years, they're coming to see you or their medical practitioner to you know, have a discussion because something's off. Yeah, and not making the correlation.

Speaker 3 4:09

It's true, such a beautiful point, because we have so many people who struggle, whether it's from work or from just life, who are not sleeping Right. But I have had one of those situations where we made progress, but it wasn't the progress that she wanted. But she was an emergency department doctor and she was in this place where she couldn't eat. If she tried to eat she would throw up. She was not losing weight, and so in our work together we made, in my mind, really big progress, but she wouldn't lose the weight. She was no longer throwing up, she was eating normally, she was eating good food and all these things were happening. But she was mad, I mean, which I kind of don't blame her, you know things, don't? That's not, it's not happening for you, it's not. But I told her and I even did at least one clinical consult on her case with a with a clinician right, a doctor, and I said this is the situation and he said exactly what I said she's not sleeping, she, her hours are crazy, wonky and she's not going to lose weight if she's not sleeping. And she didn't like it. And I don't again, I don't blame her, there's no blame there at all, but it's, it's a tough spot to be, and she loved it. So what do you? What do you do with that? But it's true, oh, this is gonna. This is super cool, have you? I'm sure you've heard of grounding or earthing. Okay, I'm reading the book called earthing right now, and there are, you know, these really simple things that we can do, that have the potential, and I can't wait to start actually just digging into this. I'm going to start telling my patients and my clients to start grounding in bed, because you can get a bed mat and put it on your bed, so you're grounding while you're sleeping, right? Yes, yes, yeah. And so I have one. I have one under my desk, I have one up at the clinic because I'm on the second floor, right.

Asking the Right Questions

Speaker 3 6:04

But you know these things, this connection to the earth and sorry, I totally went way off I'm sleeping, and how important it is but if we're not connected to the earth, our cycles are circadian rhythm Everything about us is going to be super wonky. We don't know that we wear rubber shoes. You know we have. Yeah, we're in the house, we don't walk barefoot, we don't lay in the grass, and so these are these things that if you're, if you're not getting sleep and you don't have a super wonky schedule. But if you're not getting sleep, because that certainly is going to promote stress, it's going to promote glucose spikes, it's going to promote, you know, you go on down the, you know the, the vicious cycle right there. But something as simple as spending, you know, 150 to 300 bucks, depending on what you want, for a mat that maybe will save your life how cool is that.

Speaker 4 6:57

I love that Well, and I believe Jessica shared that with us when she was on. But I'm glad that you brought that full circle because that's a.

Speaker 4 7:04

That is a big piece, and I think there are additional tools that people can incorporate into their everyday life that will help, and we don't want to give out any type of medical advice. So I'm going to pose this question to you, nikki, as someone that may not have any chronic issues or ailments or pain or things of that nature. Where would you tell them to start just to do that reflective piece of looking at their sleep cycle and pattern, what they're consuming, how frequently they're getting outside and being in nature and things of that nature? What advice would you give a person? Not medical advice at all. This is not treating anyone, yeah.

Speaker 3 7:43

Well, it really is just some of these super basic things, and we don't often see it as basic anymore. Right, we've sort of taken out this beautiful knowledge that the body has and that the earth around us has and our environment has. You know, everything is there for a reason. I probably. You know, I said it earlier, everything that I do is because of you know, I said it earlier, everything that I do is because of you know, god's guidance for me. I try really hard to listen. I don't always hear, but I'm trying really hard, you know.

Speaker 3 8:14

But you know it literally is going outside. We get stuck behind a computer, we get stuck behind a TV, we get stuck behind the video games, we get stuck behind the iPad. Right, you can go on and on. And if you go outside barefoot in the sun, people are so afraid of the sun. The sun is a gift. We don't have life without the sun and we're in this terrible place where the mainstream media and the mainstream medicine has just demonized the sun and people will tell me I shouldn't be in the sun so much. I'm thinking if you're not getting burnt, you need to be in the sun. If you have an autoimmune disease, you need to be in the sun. Right, lots of people are low in vitamin d and they think it's because they're not in the sun enough, and a lot of it's. That's genetic, right, that's, it's part of our you know, we've got these epigenetic variants that don't allow us to convert, and so sometimes it's just the way that it is. But it's the light, it's the infrared, it's the.

Speaker 3 9:08

I think there's so many things about the sun that we don't even understand and what it does for us and what it gives to us. But that's for me. I mean, one of the things that I tell people all the time is, that's what gets me outside to meditate is. You know, I sit in my office here and I see the sun outside, you know, on the other side of the computer here, and I just think I have to get outside and I need to be in it. I don't care if it's five minutes or if it's 20 minutes, right, I try not to ever get to the point to where I over overcook myself, because that's not good either. Right, there's a respect in what it can do for us and how it can certainly hurt us. Right, we get burnt and we peel and we do these things. This is not good for us.

Speaker 4 9:51

Yeah.

Speaker 3 9:52

But spending depending on your skin tone. You know I'm pretty white in the winter but I do get darker in the summer. But I build up to it, summer, but I build up to it. And so anybody who is you know just a. You know you have a really pale complexion. You sit out in the sun for a minute, two minutes, three minutes, until you get a little bit of pink and then you go inside and then you do it again the next day and then you go inside right it's, but we all need to do it. We cover up with toxins and chemicals to to repel the gift of the sun and we're putting these endocrine disrupting, cancer causing toxins on our skin. I mean, it's so backwards.

Speaker 1 10:33

It's totally backwards.

Sleep Cycles and Body Connection

Speaker 4 10:35

I'd love to just hear, like, just as we, as we talk about the sun, like what's your thought process or just your own personal feeling in terms of how we got here? Where do you feel that we've taken that turn to get to this place? Where it's? You know, don't look at the sun, don't spend too much time there, put the block on, stay away from. You know, I get it like the from the safety piece for those that you know have those sensitivities or issues, and the exposure being a challenge.

Speaker 2 11:01

It's not for the general masses, and yet we've all accepted this to be we went from like I mean, I grew up in a time where we put baby oil on us and now it's like, you know, sun factor 50 or 100 and it's like this white you can't even see your skin. So yeah, so we've yeah. When did yeah, like huge pendulum switch?

Speaker 3 11:25

I think that. How do I say this? I think that politics plays a big role. We've got the politics of food, we've got the politics of health. Big money plays a big role. Big food, big pharma, big government, big. You know, and my intent is not to go political, but when you have a lot of money behind these things, like the toxic sunscreens, you know I'm just gonna say this, and I don't know if I'm gonna get in trouble or not.

Speaker 3 11:53

I say it all the time, though, so you know it is what it is, but Neutrogena is one of the most toxic products out there on the market, and that's all. And they the biggest, and that's all they do is promote their crap. So, okay, so let's do this. So don't take my word for it. Have y'all heard of Environmental Working Group? Yes, good, okay, so you're going to rabbit hole. It's the best rabbit hole ever. But environmental working group, it's ewgorg.

Speaker 3 12:20

You can put in almost any product or any ingredient, whether it's food, if it's home care, if it's dishwasher, if it's laundry, if it's body care products, washer, if it's laundry, if it's body care products, food, all of it, everything. You can put it in there and it will rate it for you and it'll show you why. So it'll tell you. If it's a, so there's EWG verified, and then there's A, b, c, d and F. It is a huge database.

Speaker 3 12:52

So this is what something that I will tell my clients and patients to do as we're working through. You know, getting labs back and their toxic load is through the roof, right, I mean, no wonder they feel bad because their body is struggling like crazy. We have to work through. Okay, where are these coming from? And that's the cool thing about doing some of these labs is you can start to understand. Based on the type of toxin that is elevated in the body, you can say, okay, this is coming from a food or a moist environment, or your body care products, or you know, the list goes on, and so you can take it and you can put it into ewg, and you can. You can search for whatever you're using, or you can just put in body wash and it's going to come up and say all of these are ewg verified, and then you have your abc and so forth it's an amazing abc def.

Speaker 2 13:45

That's like the grading like. If it's an f, it's like you don't even put that on.

Speaker 3 13:49

You're going to glow green okay, yeah, wow, yeah, that's it is, and it's sad because we believe when, when marketing tells us something is natural or it's healthy or you know, whatever the case may be, that we're going to believe it. I mean, and marketing's there for a reason, right, it works and we all have to do it. It's part it, it's part of it, but there's some out there that's just not on the up and up, okay for lack of a better word.

Speaker 2 14:23

You always hear about these cleanses. Do you recommend people doing like heavy metal cleanses and and different types of cleanses, like on a consistent basis, to kind of rid your body of some of this stuff?

Grounding and Earthing Benefits

Speaker 3 14:35

So yes, and or yes, but we've got to be really careful with with these things, right? So you look at, you know people are doing these juice cleanses. Like what's a juice cleanse going to do besides spike your blood sugar, right? I mean, does that really what the goal is? No, detoxification is exceptionally tricky and it's beautiful, right Again. Going back to this, this amazing gift that God put us in, you know we're these little cool bodies, you know, carrying our souls around and doing all these cool things full of bugs that are our personalities. It's just fascinating. It's so fascinating. But you know, when we're looking at detoxification, you know we've, of course, we've got the liver, and then we've got the lungs and the skin and the kidneys and all of these things that work together. The lymphatic system to detoxify, the liver in and of itself goes through multiple phases to detoxify, and then we got to make sure we're going to the bathroom every day. So you know we have most toxins come in a fat soluble form, which means they don't just eliminate from the body, they're going to sit in the tissues because they're they're like they're fat loving, right, that's what they do. They're fat soluble. They stick to the tissues and to the fat layers, the lipid layers. So in detoxification, what the liver does is it converts it into a water soluble, so then it can be eliminated. So how cool is that? That's what the liver's job is. One of them is to just to make that happen. Now, due to some people's genetics, due to certain variants that can be turned on or off, we can get into epigenetics if y'all want to, because that's my favorite thing in the world. But there are reasons why maybe we don't detoxify very well, or the liver is just not functioning as well as it could because it doesn't get the nutrients that it needs in order to move it through, you know, phase one, phase two detoxification. So there are lots of ways to go about this. Then you put on the layer of somebody who is super sick and super sensitive and you start mobilizing toxins from the tissues. You start killing off microbes that carry a whole bunch of toxins on their own right. You can start to spin people out of control. So so the answer is, yeah, we got to get rid of that stuff, but we got to do it very carefully. And if somebody's super healthy and you want to do a quarterly detox, I think that's great. But what we need to keep in mind. We don't detox once a quarter. We detox every single day, all day long. It's part of who we are and what we do so in the food that we eat, in the water that we're drinking right, good, clean, clear water. Most of the filters out there are trash, so drinking clean water, you know eating.

Speaker 3 17:20

Going back to what you, you know what we're talking about earlier, these basic optimizing, optimization. You know tactics. Eat real food. You know. Eat your vegetables. If you can't eat vegetables, that's a symptom. There are people who are like they don't sit well with me, okay, so that's a symptom. Or they can't eat vegetables, that's a symptom. There are people who are like they don't sit with well with me okay, so it's a symptom. Or they can't eat beef, like, oh well, if you can't eat beef, you're not digesting it. Well, that it's a symptom. So these things, that these are other things that you know. You ask me what I'm. You know the questions. I also have to be trained to hear what they're saying, even if they don't know, that's what they're saying. And there's a lot that I don't know, but you know, some of these things are things that you listen for.

Speaker 2 18:00

But no, but it's so interesting because you just said that about beef, about certain vegetables and stuff. It's like how many of us have symptoms. We don't even realize it. It's just become something that just this is just how my body works. I don't eat that because it upsets my stomach. Well, why does it upset your stomach? So not asking those? Why questions for everything? And then I think to your point and you mentioned it, I think, at the beginning with insurance. I think people don't call the doctor, go to the doctor, ask the questions because they're like, well, I can't afford it, my insurance doesn't cover that, I can't do that. The questions because they're like, well, I can't afford it, my insurance doesn't cover that, I can't do that. And so are there options for people when that's not an option for them, or at least a starting point to know okay, yes, this is something that you should probably bring to your doctor.

Speaker 3 18:50

So, so, yeah, I mean, you know, I think for like for me, I, you know, I talk to people for a while before I ever bring them on as clients or patients, right? So that's it's. It's a let's talk about what's going on and I can tell you what I think, I see and I, you know, part of my intake is what's called an MSQ. It's a medical symptom questionnaire and it's just rating your symptoms and rating what's going on with your body. I, it's just rating your symptoms and rating what's going on with your body and it can be eyeopening for the patients and the clients and it can help me to see where some of the main issues are. So that's the stuff that we can talk about. And then, you know, if, if that's not, if it's not something that I think that I can take on, then I'm going to refer and say I mean, yeah, you need to go to a doctor. Going to refer and say, yeah, you need to go to a doctor, and I have people who I, who are open minded and will are, you know, kind of along the same lines as me. Right, it's the drugs. If the drugs are necessary sometimes drugs are necessary, right, sometimes we are in acute situations and we've got to manage that situation and that's where that's where our medicine is amazing. You know, it's really great in acute care, but it's the chronic care that is more problematic and so it is hard and it's a it's.

Speaker 3 20:06

I think it's a battle that that most of us in sort of this functional holistic world battle with, because most of us don't take insurance. But because I don't take insurance, but because I don't take insurance, I can spend as much time with you as you want and we can talk through it. My goal is to be a partner with you throughout the process. You know, most of my people I see every week, sometimes it's every other week, sometimes it's even a little more than that, because there's enough going on where we just got to work through stuff and when the body's changing it can be scary.

The Gift of Sunlight

Speaker 3 20:39

Yeah, people get if people are afraid of symptoms and and they're also afraid of what's going to happen. You know, without the symptoms right there, it's afraid, being afraid of change, and I get it, I do. But it's my role and my goal is again to be that partner and say you know, this is not an emergency, it's okay. If it is an emergency, there's a, you know, emergency department down the road, but symptoms are going to happen. Markers go out of whack. We can see liver enzymes go out of whack, you know, if we're kind of going through a healing crisis, we can see, you know, multiple I don't need to go too deeply into it but multiple markers that can start going super wonky, like what is happening. Well, it's the body's the body's working and that's the cool thing too, because when you give it what it needs, it's going to start doing all of these other these things that it couldn't do before you.

Speaker 4 21:36

It's going to start doing all of these other these things that it couldn't do before. You know, I think it's interesting that you you talk about the symptoms that that people have and kind of the fear of letting go of those symptoms. I think the other piece of that is realization that we have symptoms, right, I think? There you get to a certain point in life and you've just had an ailment for so long. It's part of who you are and you just let it go right. I just even what you consume or how your body feels. You've let go of it being a challenge because you haven't been able to identify the source. And then you start doing all of this other work and it comes back up again. It's like that's right, I forgot that my shoulder hurts whenever it rains right or whatever it is. Yeah, yeah, I love that, I love that.

Speaker 3 22:16

Yeah.

Speaker 4 22:16

Nikki, if someone wants to work with you or get a hold of you, tell us a little bit about that process and how they can get a hold of you, to connect and maybe get started on their journey as they, as they progress through this.

Speaker 3 22:28

It's pretty, pretty straightforward. Yeah, taste Life, nutrition, all the socials, the website I do have, so that MSQ I have on my website that you can go and fill out and it just comes straight to me and then I reach out to people and we we chat about it. So, whether it's me if I can help, or you know, I know a lot of really cool people who do a lot of really cool things, so I'm always, always open to to refer to my goal, I really just want to be of service the best that I can and and have some fun.

Speaker 2 23:01

I love that. Tell us a little bit about your podcast and what made you start the podcast and what's kind of what do you hope to gain from that, which is your message?

Speaker 3 23:13

So the funny thing, I went early on and I was probably had been practicing for a couple of years. I met a friend of mine and he said I have this radio show. Do you want to join me? And I was like no.

Speaker 4 23:26

That's how all great things start, yeah.

Speaker 3 23:32

It scared the crap out of me and so, and I had to hound him like, send me your questions. I got to know what I got to talk about. What, if I don't know, have an answer. And I, you know, is this whole thing. There's no do-overs, it is what it is. And so it wasn't. You know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 24:00

A few months later, after I'd been on his show a couple of times, he and the owner of the studio or the station said you should have your own show. And I went hell. No, so here we are, five years later, I, so I started my show. It's just taste like nutrition, radio and podcast. Um, it is a radio show first, and then we turn it into the podcast.

Speaker 3 24:26

And as I had just, you know, had decided to do this, you know, I was kind of, I was thinking about what is, what is this show? Why do I want to do this? And the word that kept coming to me was truth. And it was kind of funny too, because at that same time it was so I started the show. It was first week in January, so I had a friend who had a party back in December, which and it was a, you know, whatever kind of party, but it was a let's let's, you know, have your word of the year bracelet. I was like, I mean, I'm 45, whatever old I was, you know like this is really what I want to do anyway. But I did, but and that's the word that popped up and so my bracelets here are my words that I've done every year since then and it's fun to.

Understanding Detoxification

Speaker 3 25:13

This is again a little off topic, but to watch how I've changed in my approach to things. But truth was the first one and truth is the show, and it really is doing my best to get good information out to people who may not know what they have accessible to them. New, cutting edge people who want to serve, people who are there to give and to love and I say this a lot because it really is people. Everybody who I brought on the show today, they're all entrepreneurs. It's not all just health and well, so that's a lie. It's all health and wellness, but health and wellness is physical, mental, emotional, relational, spiritual, financial right. It's all of it. And but health and wellness is physical, mental, emotional, relational, spiritual, financial right. It's all of it. And so it's a pretty broad show, but it's people who just have some goodness to share and you know and have special capabilities or whatever it is.

Speaker 3 26:06

We've had some really interesting, unique people on the show and that's their goal is. I just want to get good information out to people and I want them to know. Even if it's not, if I don't get clients or patients or customers or whatever from it, you know, at least I'm able to share what I know, and so sometimes it's just me. Most of the time I have people on with me, but yeah, that's what it's been over the last few years. It started out at 30 minutes every other week and now it's an hour every week and booked out through, I don't know, september, october, november or something like that, I think, but it's fantastic, so that might be a great place for people to start to get to know you, to to learn some great stuff from you.

Speaker 3 26:46

So this has been amazing yeah, and so I think that we should talk about having you ladies on with me okay done you just let us know when. We would love that, yes.

Speaker 2 27:00

I love it I love it.

Speaker 4 27:02

well, nikki, as you talk about truth, we kind of have the same mission here at reignite resilience we want to make sure that we give our listeners something tangible that they can walk away with, apply to their life in time together. You've shared so much already, so thank you, but is there anything that you hoped that you could share with our listeners that we haven't touched on today?

Oh, that we haven't touched on Goodness. Yes, I think maybe one of the things that I learn as I work with people who are more complex is, the more complex you are, the more complex people want to treat you and I don't mean treat in a medical sense, because it's not something that I can say, but it's more. You know so many like let's try this and all of these things and these big therapies, and sometimes it's a really important thing to do, but what I find oftentimes is when we take it back to basics, that's a big piece of it, and so we talked about some of these basics. You know, the free stuff is going outside and eating good food, but what I have in my head is something as simple as getting in good protein, and some people can't digest it well. So I'm saying I'm taking it even back to even more basic and saying let's get you some amino acids, right, let's build up this baseline so your body can function.

Speaker 3 28:27

So many people are deficient because their GI is not working properly or you know, we give a number of reasons, but they're not utilizing the nutrients they're taking in or they don't eat. They're like I can eat five foods. Okay, that's no good? You're definitely not. All of the things are not going to work. And I'm also not trying to say that everything's about supplementation, although it can play a huge therapeutic role when necessary. But that's kind of. My example is really looking at basics, hitting the foundational stuff, and then trying to work up from there, and sometimes it's not simple, and well, a lot of times it's not simple, but that's. I think that that's the piece that I see oftentimes is is really is missed. You know, I have they're coming to me with these bags and bags and bags of supplements, but I everything is to treat or address you know SIBO, or you know neurological disorders or whatever instead of saying are you getting your B vitamins?

Partnering in the Healing Process

Speaker 4 29:40

yeah, so I hope that helps. I hope that's a good answer. It does. That's huge. That's huge. Well, nikki, I think the other thing that you you touched on that is really helpful as we talk about like health and nutrition and our wellness, is that you mentioned the emotional piece of it as well. Right, there's, it's. So it's not just the physical changes or issues that we need to address, but it's also making sure that we're preparing ourselves to address the emotional connection to that, or even environmental, like where are we and how are we setting ourselves up in our career and our relationships? Things of that nature. It's all woven together to make us who we are. So to extract just nutrition or our wellness outside of everything else is really a challenge. We have to remember that it all comes together to make us who we are.

Speaker 3 30:21

Nothing. Everything is connected. Everything you know, from the internal to the external right. Everything is connected, whether it's energetically or physically. Everything is connected, whether it's energetically or physically, it's, and I think that that's stuff we have to remember in our relationship with ourselves, in our relationship with our family, with our community. You know people, we know people, we don't know. Yeah, like it or not, we're all connected yes, exactly yeah, and we're already here.
