After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and having three boys at home, Heather Chauvin quickly rose to the occasion and chose to build the life she wanted. Facing death was a revelation, to say the least. It forced her to ask, “Why am I fighting so hard to live when I don’t even know how to live?” Life had to mean more than just barely surviving, living paycheck to paycheck, and believing existence meant taking up space. 

Heather Chauvin, BSW has been named the next generation’s thought leader in parenting and women’s leadership. Her mission is to crack women open to their deep potential and help them create the life their soul craves. Heather hosts the Mom Is In Control Podcast, and has been featured on the OWN network, Huffington Post, TV outlets and others. With wit and wisdom, Heather inspires a global community of women to take back control of their lives and evolve how they lead, work, play, and parent.

Heather and I talk about:

• Being a parent at age eighteen

• Battling stage 4 cancer while being a mom of four and wife

• Her time as a social worker, seeing first hand how hurt people hurt people

• Teaching other parents how to heal their children, their family, their world by first healing themselves

• Learning how to be a good parent before having children

• My own experience with PTSD around my father's terminal illness (ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease)

• And more!

Growing up in a beach town in California, Erin Wathen was always an active kid, competed on sports teams in high school, and taught aerobics in college. She has run 1/2 marathons, finished a Tough Mudder and many 6 hour Spin rides for Charity. A graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and a Food Addiction Counselor (INFACT), Erin is also a Certified Spinning® Instructor (STAR 3), Vinyasa Yoga instructor (200 Hour) and Classical Pilates instructor.

Even with all of her knowledge and exercise, she still was not at peace with her own body. Erin found nutrition to be the missing piece of the puzzle, as she was always on a diet and yet never at her goal weight. Through a lot of trial and error, she found her last diet. The last diet became her food plan and the basis of her book “Why Can’t I Stick to My Diet? : How To End The Food Drama”.

Erin's philosophy simply put; Health isn’t a number on the scale or how often we exercise, but our lives as whole. Together we will work on solutions that fit into your lifestyle. I will help you live your healthiest life in our crazy world.

Remember when we were kids, and we spent hours each day enjoying movement? We may not have known it then, but so much of those activities and movement patterns are what we use as adults to build workout plans and keep fitness a part of our life. However, so much of the fun has been taken from working out! We may have success in our commitments to the latest group training class on the block but are we actually being effective? Are we staying true to our specific goals?

Founder of the popular Hormones Balance online community, holistic nutrition coach MagdalenaWszelaki (on Instagram @hormonebalance) knows the value of cooking for hormone balance firsthand. Developing hyperthyroidism and then Hashimoto's, adrenal fatigue and estrogen dominance propelled her to leave a high-pressured advertising career and develop a new way of eating that would repair and keep her hormones working smoothly.

Now symptom free, Magdalena shares her practical, proven knowledge so others may benefit. In Cooking for Hormone Balance, she draws on current research to explain the essential role food plays in keeping our hormones in harmony and offers easy, flavorful recipes to help us eat our way to good health. She also offers clear, concise action plans for what to remove and add to our daily diet to regain hormonal balance, including guides for specific conditions.

Meat, meat, meat, and more meat! Dr. Shawn "The Carnivore" Baker, M.D. is here to share with us his experience about being on a carnivore diet for over three years. He is an orthopedic surgeon, Air Force veteran, semi-pro rugby player, triathlete, Highland Games Masters world champion, and so much more. The main takeaway I hope we all have is that our dietary approach should always be done with doing our research on the foods we put into our bodies, take note of how we feel (internally and externally), and create a sense of awareness of how our diet can positively or negatively alter our health and performance goals. Find more about Dr. Baker on IG @shawnbaker1967 or his Carnivore Training System site here: https://bit.ly/carnivorediet
