What if your quest for optimal health is failing because you're overlooking the most fundamental human needs — connection to nature, meaningful relationships, and genuine presence. Shayna’s journey is the perfect example. Despite living the “healthy” LA lifestyle as a model and chef, she struggled with chronic gut issues, anxiety, and skin problems that 11 different doctors couldn’t solve. The turning point? Moving to Italy and rebuilding her life around her non-negotiable wellness practices.
