Rebel and Be Well

On this week's episode, Christa Rymal transitions from host to featured guest! Interviewed by podcast producer Marshall Saunders and recorded onsite The Point Property- a rare and welcomed location for the Rebel & Be Well show. The duo discusses the history behind The Point property and the intimate story of its evolution from a private cabin to a purpose-driven health retreat center. Better understand what different communities The Point serves, and what its founder, Christa Rymal, has as her own mission when employing the space. As she shares her story, Christa also reinspires listeners as she comments on the importance of proactive (vs. reactive) medicine and whole-being care (vs. siloed practices). Take a look backward as Christa helps listeners learn of the Native American History that exists on the peninsula, and understand more about Dave Hubers, Christa's father who had initially acquired The Point property years ago. Explore the legacy he leaves behind, as well as how his personality and career have shaped Christa and The Point live on.Tune in to enjoy the rare opportunity to listen to Christa answering questions instead of asking them; gleam insight into The Point behind-the-scenes; and gain a breath of fresh air in your own health journey! #rebelandbewellSubscribe to the show:    / @rebelandbewell  Sign up for a Dry Farm Wines membership and as a new member you will earn an extra bottle for a penny with your first order of wine when you use this link: http://dryfarmwines.com/thepointretreatsShop Paddle North Paddleboards Here: https://paddlenorth.com/Listen to the Rebel & Be Well Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wA365k...Listen to the Rebel & Be Well Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Check Out Retreats & Events Hosted By The Point: https://thepointretreats.com/Sign up for our Newsletter: https://thepointretreats.us17.list-ma...Follow The Point Platforms On Social Media:Rebel & Be Well Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebelandbew...The Point Retreats Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pointretrea...The Point Retreats Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PointRetreats/The Point Retreats LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-...

On this week's episode, Christa Rymal is joined by host and producer of the popular Wise Traditions podcast, Hilda Labrada Gore; an ancestral health advocate and podcast coach. Meeting back in Minnesota, USA (as Hilda is regularly off traveling the world—from Kenya to Peru to Australia to Ecuador and beyond) the duo talk about exploring indigenous practices for optimal well-being.Hilda and Christa take a fun and relatable turn in this podcast as they use Hilda's knowledge to come up with a handful of best ancestral health practices to use while traveling. Teaching us that, we can enjoy a modern lifestyle, well, by using just a handful of hacks that still hold true from our ancestors. We also turned the tables on Hilda in this episode and invited her to apply a CGM (continuous glucose monitor)- a more modern approach to wellness. Watch as Christa (RN) delivers Hilda the tool, and also shares with the audience some benefits modern tracking, too, can have on health. A great example of bridging ancestral health with modern medicine. Tune in to be reminded of the wisdom past generations held, how we still have much to learn from other cultures, and how to mindfully use this old age wisdom to better improve health, now.

Episode 4 of the Rebel & Be Well Show: On this week's episode, Rebel & Be Well spins off to record a winter wellness special - covering a handful of seasonally and culturally relevant wellness topics.Christa Rymal is joined by Mike T. Nelson, Ph.D. an advanced research expert specializing in metabolic flexibility, heart rate variability, and human performance; as well as Thaddeus Owen, #biohacker, chemical engineer, and Manager of Products Regulations for MillerKnoll (also certified in training and nutrition). During this conversation, ⁠ the trio gives listeners the inspiration, background, and knowledge needed for anyone wanting to safely try the dopamine-boosting (and now-popular) wellness practice: cold-plunge & sauna therapy. Christa highlights what listeners may want to consider, while Thaddeus and Mike dive deep into perceived stress and adaptability; how experimenting with extreme temperatures can improve not only your physical (chemical) resilience but also your mental resistance. As two guests with a large preference for supported science, the gentleman thus make themselves a valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn how-to begin cold plunging, breathwork and/or sauna therapy. The duo is exceptionally advanced in the field as well, so even those already familiar with the practice and now looking to improve performance will step away with clear suggestions on how to do so. Thaddeus offers tips on technique and the less observable benefits (spiritual, emotional) of these practices, and Mike grants us insight into the physiological associations (and improvements) we see in ourselves and in studies from those who practice any or all of the above- regularly. Enjoy the backdrop as the discussion was held live for an audience in the midst of The Great Northern Festival- a celebration of winter held in Minneapolis, MN. Thank you to those of you who were watching LIVE with us in January of 2023, and for new listeners: tune in to discover how outside-of-the-box experiences like heat-cold exposure will give- way to improve other areas of your life.
