Speaker 1:

We said we need to go back to the foundation. We need to go back to observing our thoughts, because our thoughts create experiences. The experiences are stored in our body and then it's not just the mindset, it's tuning into the body wisdom.

Speaker 2:

Do you get confused by all of the information that Vabar does every day on ways to improve our overall health and our overall wellness? Do you often feel stuck, unmotivated or struggle to reach your wellness goals? Do you have questions as to what exercises you should be doing, what foods you should or should not be eating, how to improve your overall emotional and mental well-being? Hello everyone, I am so excited to welcome you to Words of Wellness. My name is Shelly Jeffries and I will Words of Wellness. My name is Shelley Jeffries and I will be your host. My goal is to answer these questions and so much more to share tips, education and inspiration around all of the components of wellness through solo and guest episodes. With 35 plus years as a health and wellness professional, a retired college professor, a speaker and a multi-passionate entrepreneur, I certainly have lots to share. However, my biggest goal and inspiration in doing this podcast is to share the wellness stories of others with you, to bring in guests who can share their journeys so that we can all learn together while making an impact on the health, the wellness and lives of all of you, our listeners. The ultimate hope is that you leave today with even just one nugget that can enhance the quality of your life, and that you will. We all will, now and into the future, live our best quality of lives, full of energy, happiness and joy. Now let's dive into our message for today. Now, let's dive into our message for today.

Speaker 2:

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Words of Wellness. My name is Shelly and I am your host, and I have a very, very special guest today. She has a very unique coaching style for long-term success that involves mind and body connection. She addresses subconscious barriers to health relationships and financial milestones. Her most recent initiative, which I'm very excited about sharing with you all today, is the fact that she has co-founded a women's biohacking and coaching platform called Biohacker. She has a rich background in NLP, quantum energy healing, trichology and more. Alongside her business, she empowers women to take control of their own biology and elevate all aspects of their lives for increased abundance and holistic growth. Genevieve Dowling welcome. I'm so excited to have you here.

Speaker 1:

Thank you so much for having me. Your enthusiasm lights me up.

Speaker 2:

Oh, thank you. You're amazing. I'm just so excited about all that you're doing and I'm really thrilled to hear about it, for not just myself but to share with all of our listeners.

Speaker 1:

Thank you. I think it's quite amazing. There's a line that you said in there, and hearing it repeated back to me just hit my heart. The same way, it's take control of our own biology, and I think that you know even what you said. You were excited about biohacking, and it goes yeah, it's a really cool word, Yet at the end of the day, it really just means like taking ownership of our own wellness. So thank you for of the day. It really just means like taking ownership of our own wellness. So thank you for having the platform to have these conversations.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely, and that is something that I feel so strongly about. That it is. It is us taking control and taking taking the steps, because I always I've always shared with students and clients that it's we have to take the steps. No one's going to do it for us. Right, and especially when I used to teach college, I would impress upon my students you have to, you have to be the one that's proactive, because nobody is going to do this for you. So it goes along the same lines of what you're sharing and what you're doing, and I just love that. How did you get involved? I mean, I know we're going to have a lot to share today. We might have to. You know this will be our first of many, I hope, episodes, but how did you get into biohacking?

Speaker 1:

So that's an interesting question and I'm I believe in backstory and I will say that I believe that the word biohacking came into the scenario a couple years ago. Yet the essence of what biohacking is has been part of my journey for a long time and you know, I really love giving praise to my hero, my mentor, my beautiful father, and he was a single father and when I was seven years old he sold his IT practice and he opened a holistic health practice, and I'm sure you can imagine that back then in the eighties, being a single father and opening a holistic health clinic was very taboo. So I was entrenched in this world of holistic medicine and he really paved the way for me to understand how many modalities were accessible to us to really decondition and then heal the body in a holistic way. So I watched that and I'm sure, as we've all had those experiences growing up, we want to be our own person. We want to be our own you know path, and so I really took a path into the fitness world. I really wanted to be part of that.

Speaker 1:

Health and nutrition coaching that's what I went to college for initially and traveled the world getting different certifications, like my yoga teacher training in India because I was fascinated with the anatomy of the body. I wanted to understand the body, and that led me into this incredible direction of being in the hair loss industry. And being in the hair loss industry it was a very unique way of understanding how external factors of stress and internal factors of stress and dis-ease affect something like our hair. And so I feel that these phases of my life set a foundation of understanding of biohacking in a very unique way. Yet I've, equally, with the body, been fascinated with the mind. So my dad was really into energy and you know he had all of his spirit guides. He was to say I'm going to go have a talk with JC, jesus Christ, figure out what's going on today. And so I saw that and I loved that and that was normal to me. Yet I didn't understand it, because I'm someone who wants to understand, I seek to understand.

Speaker 1:

So I went out on this big journey to understand, and it was when my father, at 59 years old he, was diagnosed very suddenly with terminal cancer throughout his entire being and he went from my dad who it was this jolly, incredible, social human, to almost unrecognizable in four months. And that was my biggest educational moment, because I had not been in an awesome place in my own life. On the outside it looked very extravagant and successful a lot of travel, a lot of homes, great businesses that were scaling to seven figures but on the inside I felt unworthy, unlovable. I felt like I had to prove myself, and so it really.

Speaker 1:

My father at that time acted as a mirror and I mean, long story short, we can go into it another time too. Yet he passed away in six months from his diagnosis, right before his 60th birthday, and you know, there was a lot of disbelief as to what was going on. And I remember telling myself I have goosebumps right now. I remember telling myself the only thing I can do right now is live each day with no regrets. And so I stepped away from my.

Speaker 1:

I was facilitating my ex-husband's Muay Thai backup plan and my world, my human 3D world, started crashing down. It was like everything I had built got put into this bonfire pit and a flame just took it. Yet I had the most incredible time with my dad and watching him. I would go into the bed with him at hospice and we would have big talks and you know when he finally was in a moment where he would let me in, we, we would unweave the tapestry of his beliefs, of his emotions, the deep seated anger and unworthiness that caused the cancer in the first place. And so he had done all this healing outside of himself to mask what he felt deep within himself. And that was the moment that I recognized that biohacking was when our cells take on emotions, when our cells take on experiences, and I realized that we had become so disconnected from our body as human species, and this is where my adventure got really intense and big and adventurous, and so that's where it all started, shelly.

Speaker 2:

That is an incredible story. I feel like you are you writing a book about this?

Speaker 1:

I hope I am not. I am not, Not yet I should I never say no, not yet.

Speaker 2:

I hope I am not. I am not, not yet. I should I never say no, not yet. Incredible. So many, so many pivotal moments with your dad, and even just to me. I'm thinking I'm almost feeling like envious that you had that in experience with him back in the day. He was like such a pioneer in this whole world of biohacking when it wasn't even a thing, so at one point it might've felt maybe a little awkward. Here he is branching out in this new world and people are probably going what is he doing? And look at it today it's a huge. Everywhere you turn around now it's the thing right, and so what an amazing, amazing man.

Speaker 2:

And I can relate to some degree with what you're sharing because I also went through loss with both of my parents my mom getting diagnosed with cancer and she lost her battle and I always looked at her as being pretty vibrant and healthy. Sick and he he didn't take as good of care of his health but he was like your dad. He was very social, very jolly happy. It's like one of those people. Every time I left him I just felt so good and happy inside and going through those experiences I can relate, as you did. Is that it kind of catapulted me even further into wanting to know more.

Speaker 2:

One of my big missions is to share about more ways we can live in a clean, healthy environment and reduce our toxic exposure, and going through those experiences with my parents really both times catapulted me to want to do more and learn more and share more. So I can relate so much with you in that area. I just think it's so fascinating and it really does. It really does inspire you to do more and almost like I don't know if you felt like this, not so much from an anger, but just like this Okay, something is going on. I want to know what is going on. This should not have happened, you know, just especially with your dad, with all those years of being healthy. But it just goes to show how much of that connection we don't always know what's going on in the inside and how much it impacts our health and our just complete, complete, complete being. So what an experience.

Speaker 1:

You are bang on with that because and, by the way, I love hearing your story and it's why we connect energetically so well we just have this understanding, and so thank you for sharing that when I saw my dad go through his very accelerated journey towards returning to heaven once you see it, you can't unsee it, and so it was at that moment that I could no longer ignore the things that were going on inside my own body. And a couple years prior, when I had gone through many very unhealthy relationships, and that was me, that was me searching for them, longing. I remember being a little girl, shelly, and just like I just would imagine this like Uzi over the top love, like I longed for love. You know, most girls like to plan their wedding. That wasn't me, but I longed to just be loved. You know, I think we all, as women, we deeply crave just being longed for, and so I searched for it in outside of myself and by doing that, I searched for it in relationships, I searched for it in my career, I searched for it in all of these areas and I was so disconnected to my own femininity I didn't know that then I can say that, now that I had suppressed all of the shame and all of this unworthiness into my womb, and so I I think I was 25, maybe 25, I believe and I was rushed into the hospital and they had found 86 cysts on my ovaries and two six centimeter fibroids on my uterus, and they had told me so what happened is one of them lacerated. I bled into my stomach. It was excruciating pain.

Speaker 1:

They did laparoscopy surgery and then but this is the moment that I look back on now and it fuels me they said you should get a full hysterectomy. You will never have children. It will be so dangerous for you to do that If you don't have a partner and children by 30, like it's you, you need to come back. And my dad, he was like this is not your story and they wanted to do all these things to me. And I remember I just couldn't really. I couldn't really like figure it out at the time. I was so lost in my own realm of who knows what.

Speaker 1:

Yet when he passed, I could no longer ignore what was going on. I could no longer ignore that the root cause wasn't a period that I hadn't had in nine years. It was not any of the birth control that they had tried to put me on. That made me feel crazy. It was what is the root cause of my unresolved emotions that is causing this, and I will say fast forward. Since that moment in 2018, when he passed to now, that's been 10 years since that surgery. I have a menstrual cycle every month, I am fertile, I have hips for the first time. I went in last time. 95% of the cysts and fibroids are gone without surgery, and it really got me thinking. What stories are we implanting in people's minds that make them believe that they cannot heal themselves? And so I share that, because my dad's journey opened my eyes to the ridiculousness of us, as humans, believing the stories that are pressed upon us.

Speaker 2:

Genevieve. That is incredible, absolutely incredible. It's not even that. However, we do know that people are being over prescribed every single day and you know, I can relate to my dad at the end had so many different medications he was taking. I'm like, how do you even, how do you even keep track? And you know, we know too, that one thing you take this medication. Okay, now, to counteract what that is doing to your body, now you have to take this. And to counteract that, now you have to take this. I mean, I went through that with myself personally years ago, and so it is so important what you are sharing for people to understand, to be able to tune into their bodies and to listen to how they're feeling and to be able to stand up for what feels right for them. And thank God you did that and you didn't go through with what those doctors were recommending at the time. And again, that might have been all that they knew at the time, right, they didn't know any different, but thank goodness you didn't go through with that.

Speaker 1:

You said something so important, shelly. You said to listen to how we're feeling, and we talk about this world of biohacking and I think we can all agree that the newest shiny object gets really exciting, and so we search for all of these available technologies and supplements and all of these things, and I think they're great. Trust me, I have a lot of them. I love that. That's like for me, that's my playground. Yet the fundamental basis of biohacking is to bring coherence back to our mind and our body and you've said it, to listen.

Speaker 1:

Well, we don't know how to listen anymore. We've been inundated with information constantly and I think you know we can, we can, we can talk about how how dare they do that to us, and just like, well, you know we can, we can, we can talk about how, how dare they do that to us, and just like you know, like the medical, this and that it's like you know what. It's no one else's responsibility to teach us how to know ourselves. And I think that we being able to even have these conversation what a blessing amongst all the noise, and that's one of the things my business partner and I, when we put biohack her together, we said we need to go back to the foundation. We need to go back to observing our thoughts, because our thoughts create experiences. The experiences are stored in our body and then it's not just the mindset, it's tuning into the body wisdom. And if we can start observing the thoughts and we can start tuning into how we feel, and we can start noticing a correlation between those two.

Speaker 1:

And now we add in the foundational nutrition, the detox, because that is huge. We must detox in this time and age, not just once a year. All the time we add these layers and we have it stack on top of it. Well, now we not only have taken control of our own biology, we've actually done one better. We've gotten to know ourselves in a deeper way than ever before, and I believe that that's when we have that direct line to our creator. I believe that that's when we are zoned into the divine. But we cannot do that, we can't search for it outside of ourselves, it's within ourselves. And so when you said listen, it's like, yes, this is the basis.

Speaker 2:

And you hit it right on the head too with the fact we have gotten so caught up in all of the noise and when I share tips on managing stress or taking time for yourself, just taking five minutes outside where it's quiet or going someplace where it's quiet. Five, 10 minutes. It doesn't have to be very long, but to have that quiet time, because how many take that time? How many of us take that time? I mean, I do personally, but encouraging others to do that because otherwise there's a constant, it's constant. It's worse now than ever.

Speaker 2:

Right, we have our cell phones, it's at our fingertips all of the time, and I know one of my big. It's not a concern so much, but we've had conversations with our kids because they've grown up in this world. They've grown up with the computers and the cell phones and the internet, social media, stuff that I I mean, I'm a little older than you are, but I didn't grow up with all of that. And so I sometimes look back now and have a little bit not so much a regret because I don't like to live in that in that space ever but thinking back to maybe we shouldn't have given them a cell phone at age 10 or 11, whatever it is, but we can't obviously rewind the clock.

Speaker 2:

But the point of that is the noise. It's always there. So unless we take that initiative and really we are intentional it's always going to be there. It's always going to be there and I think that's such an important message that you're sharing is that you have to sit in silence, otherwise that's the only way we're going to be able to tune into our bodies and our mind. And there is such that connection. We know that now. I mean, we used to say there was, we knew there was, but now there's the research to support that there absolutely is that connection and we know that the mind powerful.

Speaker 1:

And in those moments of silence I'm sure we agree on this All the noise to me. Now I look at it and I go, okay, what is this teaching us? Because I truly believe that everything we experience is for evolution. You know, polarity is the greatest teacher, so we have tons of noise. Imagine what it feels like when we finally experience quiet. You know, I love polarity and I feel that right now, with all the noise, it acts as a numbing. Okay, so I recognize for myself, I go okay, so we're on our phone, we're scrolling, we're doing all these things. What is that doing? It's numbing the mind and the body. And so what I recognized was that, well, if we're always numbing, then wouldn't it be safe to say that we are constantly running away from pain or towards pleasure?

Speaker 1:

So if we're away from pain and towards pleasure, then how do we know what's going on? I mean symptoms. The body has this beautiful way of speaking to us. I am so big right now on body wisdom, body talk has this beautiful way of speaking to us. I am so big right now on body wisdom, body talk.

Speaker 1:

And you know, as soon as we feel something like a tickle in the throat or a pain in this, we want to just like bandaid it, make it go away, instead of being like whoa, hey, throat, what are you sharing with me right now? What is it that happened? What am I blocking and creating that relationship with ourselves so that most of the time, these symptoms are just the body speaking and once we listen you said earlier listening once we listen, it dissipates or we know what to do next. And that's one of the beautiful things I mean both of us when we're educating people on detox. A lot of the time, as soon as something feels uncomfortable, we want to run from it, but I go, okay. How can we truly enjoy pleasure if we can't understand our pain? And I think that's one of the most beautiful parts of becoming quiet.

Speaker 2:

It's so true. Oh my gosh, I have my mind. I have so many thoughts on this because it's so true and it's just anything in life. You know I was sharing about this most recently, about the fact that life is, is the journey, like we were sharing earlier, and there's going to be the highs and lows, and if we can't experience the lows, then we can't experience the highs, and vice versa.

Speaker 2:

And you know I'm more of the emotional person in my home with my husband and we make jokes about it, but I'm, I'm like, hey, I'm, I'm okay with that, you know. I'm okay with that because I know that there are going to be moments where you have to experience the lows, but then the joyful moments are even much more so. That because that's just the way it is, that's the, that's the journey of life that we're in. And so, going back to to experiencing that with our mind and our bodies, it's so interesting when you were talking about how we have all the noise and we become numb to what's going on around us. So many people are in that space and it's so sad because from our perspective we can maybe kind of see that. But they're, they are running from something or there's something that has happened early on that has caused all these years later for them to not want to face it. I mean, I don't want to get too, you know, into the whole mental part of this, but we see that and we know that we've experienced with other people. Once they start to realize what is causing more of their pain or their trauma or whatever it is, and they recognize it, then they start to get healthier mind and body. It's just amazing the connection and to see how that progresses. Like that. It's just such proof that there, I mean, there's that connection and for so many years and so many, so many individuals, they, they just I don't know why exactly, and I feel like it's almost like a generational thing. Like some of the older generations, they weren't I don't know how to say, they didn't learn how to express themselves, or they didn't to say they didn't learn how to express themselves, or they didn't. It wasn't part of their growing up to just openly share what was going on.

Speaker 2:

And I feel like, for maybe our, our parents, maybe that's what caused them to to become ill. And we, you know, we're getting really into the weeds here, but I often wonder that I've spoken, I often wonder that, with both my mom and my dad and yeah, you just never know. But you, you do know, we do know there's a connection, but we'll never be able to necessarily prove you know that that's what caused them to be ill. But especially with your dad, when he was, I mean, my parents weren't as healthy and doing what your dad was doing and he still ended up with the cancer diagnosis. And that, to me, is that's when you start to go okay, there's much more to this than just a diagnosis of a tumor growing in my body right. There's a reason. So, just like what you experienced, everything that you had growing inside of you and now it's gone I mean that's incredible to so incredible and such a testament to the power that we have with our, with our own bodies and our mind. I love it.

Speaker 1:

Oh, shelly, and I don't think it is getting into the weeds because, at the end of the day, this whole conversation just shows it's all connected.

Speaker 1:

And the moment that, at the moment that we settle into the understanding of it's all connected, we also get to take off the armor of keeping us safe, because we can just settle in and soften. And that was my biggest lesson, and I think that's why, right now, I'm so passionate about empowering women to soften. You can be successful and soft right, you can be powerful and still be led. We have these like polarities, that we think we have to be one or the other. And you know, last year, last summer, I went I still have a property in Canada, that was my dad's sanctuary and I sat there and I looked out over this fast, vast, rolling meadow and I went. This is the first time I'm actually seeing this, and what I mean by that is I was always so in my own head that I was never able to just be, and as a woman and as a female, our essence is the most potent when we're able to just be. And I thought, at 34 years old, I'm seeing this landscape that I've been to since I was probably two years old for the first time, and that was a moment where I went.

Speaker 1:

Biohacking is way more than longevity, it is way more than just looking young. It is to uncover this childlike essence of who we truly are and allow that to be our safety, instead of masks that we're wearing to be what other people that we think we're meant to be. And it really hit me because people often will say no-transcript, true, and we now are looking at how to biohack our body through mind, body and soul. Could it not be that we're coming back into this convergence of being more in community with each other and going back to those I don't want to say roles of the divine feminine and divine masculine, but the essence of what that means, and not just gender, and that's what excites me right now is creating safe places for us to start peeling back the onion layers so we can get to the core. Because in the core of all of us is this child that just wants to be loved and give love and experience things and be on a grand adventure of this lifetime.

Speaker 1:

And I think that's the most exciting part is that when we feel safe, to feel seen and to just be is when the true purpose of our being starts to show itself. Because now we get to take divine direction, now we get to make conscious choice. And most of the time, when we get to those places, not saying that that's an end goal. When we get to those places, not saying that that's an end goal there is no end goal. But when we get to those places, we're back in. Everyone in our world is our brother and sister. We are all one and I think that's all we're meant to come back to is like we're all just here having this experience. So why not feel incredible? And peace is something that can be felt even with all the noise.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my gosh, Love that. I feel like that's a mic drop. That's beautiful. That's beautiful and it's so true, If enough of us just take a step back. And it's so amazing what you're saying and it makes so much sense.

Speaker 2:

Like we've this evolution. We've come now to this point where we can be more in tune and with ourselves and with each other and be part of these communities, and we know how important community is. I mean that's we are not meant to be alone. I mean we know that from our creator we are meant to be in community and, if anything, one major lesson from these most recent years is how critical it is for us to be in community and and like you're saying, being community, being in one and having just being in peace with one another, I mean it's definitely possible and it happens. We just sometimes need to break down some barriers right and just be open to the possibilities, because there's just so much goodness out there. There's so much goodness out there and I think that's something that has happened over the years recently is that there's so much focus on what's not so good, rather than there's a lot of very good things going on, Very good people out there, and again, it's what you focus on, you find. I mean, that's how I found you.

Speaker 1:

You know, there's so much good, so much goodness, even you having these conversation and hosting this podcast and just allowing people to open their mind. I, I just honor that and value that, and that's you just said it. That's something I learned in the last year. The dark energy, the negative energy, the whatever you want to call it it has to be really loud because we're not that, we're not born that way, we become that way. So they have to be louder because they want to be seen. It's like a tantrum, right, you know. It's like the kid in class who's having a tantrum. He's not a bad kid, he just wants to be seen. And I feel it's the same when we think of the bad going on. Yet if you take a step back and tune out of it and you just said it there's so much good going on, but the good is moving in peace and silence, because it doesn't need to be loud, it doesn't need to say, hey, look at me, it just is, it's just being so, it's all where we're looking so true.

Speaker 2:

It's almost like when someone has a calm confidence about them and they have humility, they don't have to be loud, right? It's the same kind of thing that just made me think of that. I love that analogy. How you just shared that. That's beautiful. I know we could just talk for so long. Tell us a little bit more about what you're doing with Biohack, Her and your program.

Speaker 1:

So right now, we have been building a new platform for women specifically, and this platform will have quarterly containers that women can be part of, and we have a very large network of wellness professionals and biohacking experts that are going to be coming in to do a very advanced and intensive educational series for people that are looking for that. Yet, at the same time, right now, what we're building are independent courses that people can do at the comfort of their own home to, because I believe that we can learn and be on a learning spiral, but we have to integrate, and so this is going to be a platform for women to learn how to nurture their body, how to quiet their mind, how to start that self-healing process and then have the tools to practice it on their own and come back into community, to be supported. Corporate wellness educational summits online and really working with that high performance woman who's always had to prove and push and be in that masculine role and teach her how to be just as, if not more, powerful in her feminine essence. And so right now, we are in the beginning stages of this incredible platform, and a lot of the courses in the meantime are going to be showcased on another platform that we have called playabiggergamecom, and this is a mastermind community where people can come in for coaching, for community calls and for educational courses. So we're going to have a cohesion of these two platforms coming together to really allow people to build their own learning experience.

Speaker 1:

But the biggest part of it is being in a high frequency community where you are going to be surrounded by people that bring out the best in you, and that's what we are all about, and if I put all the info, I'll give it all to you for the show notes. If anyone wants to learn more about it, I also have a free discovery call for any woman who is just learn, who just wants to learn more about it. I also have a free discovery call for any woman who is just learn, who just wants to learn what it would look like to start a biohacking discovery and if that, whatever that looks like for them cause. Each human is different, and so I do offer a free discovery call just to see what their plan would look like and be able to come into the community right now, in the inception stages, to be amongst sisters and other women all around the world who are doing the same.

Speaker 2:

I love it, I love this. I cannot wait. I am going to follow this and become a part of this, because this is incredible and we will put all of the information in the show notes and I am really excited to. We'll have to talk a little bit more about this, because I would love to somehow integrate and completely integrate parts of what you're doing with a program that I have been creating for moms specifically. So, along the same lines of what you're doing, my focus is on moms and helping them to prioritize their health and their self-care, and you know mindset is a huge part of it as well, of course, and so we'll have to chat about that. I would love some integrate a little bit. It would be fantastic.

Speaker 2:

I wanted to go back for a quick moment before we wrap up, because I know this is something we share and we've spoken about and we know how critical it is for our overall health. But you did touch upon the importance of detoxing and I want to know just you know if you can share for a minute, because we still we've talked about this, but we still come across the thought and the belief that our bodies can detox, our organs can do that for us and we know this day and age, they cannot, because we are bombarded with so many toxins daily. So what is your? Maybe? Share your routine, share your belief. You know it's not belief, it's fact that we have to do this. So I would love for you to speak on that for just a moment, okay.

Speaker 1:

Okay, this is something I'm very passionate about and this is what I love working with people on an individual basis, because this is not. I do not believe that the detox process can be a group think, and the reason for that is that we are all at different stages, because I've been habit stacking for years. Yet what I will say? It would be absurd to think that our organs can detox on their own. With being inundated with what we are consuming, breathing, drinking, listening and seeing. Some of the toxins are not even environmental or food related. They're created from our own mind, and so it is imperative for us to be able to tune into our body and have support and coaching on that, to learn what it feels like, because most people don't even know what good feels like until they feel good, so they think they're fine. Yet I will say this If you have constant brain fog, if you are not able to sleep without medication trust me, that was me for a long time If you have bloating and indigestion, as a woman, if you are not having a minimum of one bowel movement a day, then there's things that are not functioning properly, and what I say to women a lot of the time is we're so focused on this outside appearance and people want to lose weight. Well, weight is toxicity trapped in fat cells. People want to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is because the body's trying to protect us from an invader. And I don't know about you, but I can say that I've had many years and many moments where I did not treat myself very well and I definitely wanted to be able to reverse some of the damage I've even imposed on myself, let alone what we're exposed to in pollutants and environmental. So what I would say is that, at the very baseline for someone who wants to get into detox, some great ways is water fasting or a supported intermittent fast. As women, we now know a lot of the research on this was male dominant. So we want to make sure that we're fasting in relation to our cycle. I do have a free guide on this cycle syncing and fasting for women because it's important to recognize our hormone cycles, and fasting for women because it's important to recognize our hormone cycles.

Speaker 1:

The other thing is really detoxing our body with NAD. This is a proven daily cellular detox for our cells to be more efficient. And then, when we get into more things I am a firm believer in coffee enemas. I am. I love that our intestinal tract is filled with pollutants.

Speaker 1:

And then another thing that I really work on with women who are looking to really take it to the next level is really looking at the liver, looking at the gallbladder and the liver bile ducts, and that seems really advanced, but I will say we think that we have so many causes of dis-ease and sickness yet at the end of the day, it really comes down to a few vital organs that are not functioning efficiently and we've been made to believe that it's all of these other things.

Speaker 1:

And the number one thing we can do to detox is detox what you're consuming, and I'm not talking food, I'm talking music, I'm talking conversation, I'm talking TV. Look at what you're consuming, because a lot of the TV shows on there and a lot of the music out there, it is a negative frequency, and a negative frequency is going to cause acidity and toxicity in the body, just from our stress response alone. So start there and then get with people that have done what you want to do and get them to advise you. Don't just go all in, because it may actually do more damage than good.

Speaker 2:

Yes, no, that's so good, I mean, and what a simple place to start. What we're listening to, what we're watching, it's so important and people don't always think about that and I'm so, so grateful that you brought that up, because that is huge, that is really huge. And you know it's interesting. Going back to all of the different symptoms, when I first started doing a cellular detox and the intermittent nutritional fasting, I felt like, oh, I'm pretty healthy and energetic, my whole background's health and wellness, I know what to do and I feel good. But let's try this. And you know, the crazy thing is and you probably experienced this as well is when I felt even so much better.

Speaker 2:

It just goes back to the fact that we don't know what we don't know, even for someone who is healthy and energetic. It made such a difference in my life and how I instill dots, to how I feel on a day-to-day basis, and to me that was that's been such a huge testimony because it wasn't like I was coming from a, a sick place per se. I was coming from a pretty, for the most part healthy place, and even I still was able to take it to a whole other level in my life and just feeling so good. So I just I love to share that, because I think that sometimes people accept where they're at and think, oh, this is how it's going to be, oh, I'm older now, this is how it's going to be, or or they just don't realize how much better they can feel. And that's a hard thing to come, you know, verbalize to someone until they actually feel it. But it's so true, wouldn't you say?

Speaker 1:

Okay. Well, I mean, I'm getting fired up and I know we're cutting close, but I'll end. I'll end with this. So one of my firm beliefs right now and I always say right now because I'm open to changing and evolving all the time yet people want to be manifestors. Okay, you want to manifest things into your life? Well, let me tell you that even the healthiest people I detox two to three way different ways every single day, on top of detox protocols and fasting, and I consider myself a very healthy human. The healthier you become, the more you can feel when things are off. I know when it's time to insert one of my protocols.

Speaker 1:

So I say to people who think they don't need to detox I go. If you want to attract more abundance into your life, if you want to have more love in your life, if you want to have more financial security in your life and your body is full of metabolic waste, you are going to have to work double as hard to get what you want. Because we know that the more metabolic waste that exits the body, the more light frequency and energy we can hold. You cannot have those coexisting at the same time. It's impossible. It's just facts, it's scientifically proven, and so if we want to even talk as an energy standpoint, I mean, just look up in the sky one time and tell me you don't see things that maybe weren't there a long time ago and tell me that we don't have to get rid of those heavy metals in our system every day if we want to have more of that light body in this time and age. So I don't think it's an option, it is essential.

Speaker 2:

Perfect. It is essential, absolutely. Yeah, I'm going to get fired up too, I know. Oh my gosh, thank you for this, genevieve. So much, I mean, so many nuggets of wisdom coming from you, and you just speak so eloquently and so clearly and I just I honor you for being on today. Thank you for your time, thank you for everything that you have shared. I really truly appreciate you so much and, yeah, I just can't wait to do this again. Where can everyone find you? I know you shared about your program. What's the best place for people to reach out to you?

Speaker 1:

Right now I would say Instagram. So at G-G-D-O-W-L would be the best place to come and find me, because my link tree is in my bio. I have two different YouTube channels. I'm giving lots of free content away all the time programs for free. Everything is there and then from there, as we open up this community to the public, we will be showcasing it on there, so that's the best place to come and find me.

Speaker 2:

Well, anything any last bits of inspiration or tips you want to share before we close out? I mean, you've just covered it all in such a fire. It's just been amazing.

Speaker 1:

I will say one thing that changed my life. In a world We've said this, the whole episode in a world where we are inundated with stress and pressure and noise, when you start feeling that pressure in your chest and you think it may be anxiousness, I invite you to pause for 30 seconds and breathe into your heart space and maybe change the narrative that your heart, your creative center and your soul is just looking for more. And take three deep breaths into your heart and notice that what used to feel like pressure will feel like expansion, and that is an indication of how alive we are and all it takes is intention that's beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker 2:

Just taking that one moment, a step back and just breathing can be all we that we need in that moment in time. That's beautiful.

Speaker 1:

Thank you for being bold and for having these conversations. I admire you. You are amazing. Your energy speaks volumes. I'm so magnetized to you and I can't wait to have you on my podcast too you're so sweet.
