In today’s episode we talk with Functional Medicine Practitioner, Rachel Headings, founder of Rachel’s Healing Arts on her passion for health and her journey to guiding others on their own journey of reconnecting to their intuition to help create the health they deserve and desire.
Today we cover:
* Rachel”s first ten years growing up in the unique setting of an intentional community and how the experience of communal living affects her life today.
*. The importance of breaking through “the need to achieve cycle” to find our inner wild.
*. How Rachel found clarity through grieving the loss of her father
* The family choice to move to Guam and the unexpected surprise of a pregnancy and then a shocking cancer diagnosis that led the family back to Iowa.
* Functional medicine: what it is and the steps we can take toward healing
* The importance of dealing with emotional blocks, creating boundaries, stress management, healthy nutrition, hydration, sleep and ultimately the awareness that you are worthy. It’s your decision to respect and love yourself enough to align your actions to get better.
