In this episode, Elizabeth teaches us:
- 80% of our immune system is in your gut. The secret to great health begins with healing or resetting your gut microbiome.
- The foundation of health lies in your mindset. Our confidence about our bodies ability to heal has been diminished by modern society because we are focused on using drugs to treat our symptoms, without getting to the root cause of the issues.
- Sleep is when healing happens, where you process memories, digest your food...sleep is FOUNDATIONAL to health and wellness. Further, the first thing to be impacted when you lack sleep is your immune system.
- Schedule at least 5 interrupted minutes a day to do something for yourself! Treat yourself more like a friend and show yourself love and compassion. It is great for your health!
- Symptoms are information. When you experience a symptom, ask yourself "why"? And then ask yourself why you're taking certain mediations? Medications are also stressors to your body because this is another substance they your body knows how to process. There should always be an "end date" to using your medication and you should strive to solve your medical ailments at the root cause of the issue.
