Green Living with Tee

This week Tee was delighted to welcome Melissa Rohlfs for a conversation about eliminating sugar from our daily diet and the importance of keeping a sharp eye out for processed sugars and sugar substitutes that pop up in foods you might not expect. Melissa Rohlfs is a certified holistic health and life coach helping busy women find freedom and feel at peace with food, their bodies, and their lives. She is committed to empowering women to break free from dieting, emotional eating, and self-image issues so they can ditch the diet mentality and feel empowered in their own skin. Melissa teaches women easy new strategies they can use to feel better instead of turning to food for relief. After her own tumultuous history with food {withholding and then later in life, binging}, she learned how to deal with the core issues around her broken relationship with food. As a result, she felt called to go to school and learn to teach other women how to do the same. Melissa graduated from the Health Coach Institute as a Holistic Health and Life Coach in 2018 and is the proud owner of Free 2B Coaching. She is also a proud Purdue Boilermaker alumni living in Arizona with her husband Chad and two kiddos.

Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine causing serious reactions such as vomiting, headaches, and GI tract disruptions.

Toxins can affect so many different areas in our lives. On today’s episode I was thrilled to talk with Dr. Katie Rose about the relationship between toxins and fertility and how the alarming rates of infertility, as well as low sperm count, are related to both the foods we eat, the lifestyle choices we engage in and the environmental toxins we are exposed to every day.

Her unique 3 step method to support the body, mind, and spirit has allowed her clients to conceive despite years of unexplained infertility, failed IVF treatments, PCOS, Hashimoto's, endometriosis, and recurrent pregnancy losses.  In this conversation, Dr. Katie and I explore her journey into naturopathic medicine while also discussing the key factors that are leading to this epidemic of infertility. We cover some of the environmental, emotional, and practical lifestyle choices that men and women should consider changing while offering essential advice for couples struggling to conceive.  If you have further questions about the information shared on today’s show, Dr. Katie offers a free 3-day mini-series and free fertility strategy sessions for anyone looking to take the next steps.  Connect with Dr. Katie: Website: https://drkatierose.com Brilliant Fertility Program: https://brilliantfertility.com Free 3-Day Mini-Series: https://brilliantfertility.com/register Free Fertility Strategy Session: https://calendly.com/drkatierose/20-min-discovery-call Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkatierose  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drkatierose  ______________________________________________________ Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Tee’s Organics - Therese’s Healthy Products for You and Your Home: https://thegreenlivinggurus.com/shop-tees-organics/ The Green Living Gurus Website: https://thegreenlivinggurus.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greenlivinggurus/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW7_phs1GZUPzG21Zgjnqtw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GreenLivingGurus Healthy Living Group on Facebook Tip the podcaster!

It’s a common misconception that good food and good food alone can make you healthy! Though healthy eating may be one of the most important components of a balanced and healthy lifestyle, the reality is that many other areas of our lives could be causing illnesses or damage to our overall well-being.  On today's show, Tee welcomes Suzy Wood to explain how the integration of healthy practices along all walks of life is vital for achieving a balanced and holistic lifestyle. Suzy explains her journey from global citizen and high-tech marketer to Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Suzy shares how the experience of her divorce and relocation to New York inspired her to make a career pivot as well as overhaul her lifestyle, diet, and social practices.  In this episode listeners will gain a better understanding of how factors such as stress, social anxiety, work-life balance, and proper sleep paired with proper nutrition all contribute to a healthier and happier way of living. In addition, Tee and Suzy share tips on how to detoxify your household in a way that is neither overwhelming nor expensive. Suzy Wood is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach who works with women to get control of their health by analyzing both food and lifestyle choices. After living abroad for over 10 years, Suzy returned to the US, left her job in high-tech marketing, and launched True Wellness Within where she helps people find more balance in their lives, eat better, live better, and regain the vitality they used to have.  Suzy works privately and in small groups to help people achieve their health goals. We look at lifestyle, sleep, movement, nutrition, and more. For anyone who is divorced, Suzy has a free quiz you can take on her website called "Has Your Body Healed from the Stress of Divorce?".  She also has a private Facebook group called the Divorce Detox where she offers support. She facilitates monthly calls. Part of the healing process is looking at your living environment, what you put in and on your body, so you can live your best life going forward.
