037 Bio-hacking your way to health | Dr Jamie Koonce

“Whatever you might be going through with your health right now you probably have more control over it than you think”

— Dr Jamie Koonce -

Good for us that Dr Jamie Koonce is a self-professed nerd from playground days.  Who would have thought that a childhood intuition to change her diet to prevent migraines would put her on a path to learning and discovering the role of epigenetics and the influence on our health and appearance.  Her passion for learning has not stopped and she now teaches people like you and I how to bio-hack our way to health.  You will be pleased to know that Jamie dispels the belief that there is ONE diet or nutrition protocol for everyone!

Inspire yourself with these essential insights from Dr Jamie Koonce

We spoke about 

• Jamie’s curiosity with the way the body worked from a young age

• Having more control over our health than we think

• The influence of epigenetics on our health and appearance

• The role of genetic inheritance, lifestyle and environmental inputs

• Understanding the effect of your genetics in relationship to your own diet and nutrition

• Never too late to make changes that will improve your health and wellbeing

• Determining and interpreting your genetic profile

• Bio-hacking School

• Why assessing how you’re doing with your health regularly is so important

Value Quotes 

”I was fascinated by the body, how you could change the way that you feel, the way that you look, everything about the body just by different environmental inputs”

“It seems a lot of people don’t make that connection even after they get very sick. They feel like they have no control and it’s just something that happened to them. They really do have control and I think that’s empowering to know.”

“Whatever you might be going through with your health right now you probably have more control over it than you think”

“You can turn off or turn on a gene for better or for worse depending on the environmental inputs”

“I’ve been studying this for several years and have found some very interesting things about how you can change your diet and your lifestyle to basically cause these epigenetic changes that are very desirable and to prevent the changes that are not”

“Understanding your own genetics helps you understand why none of these diet books work for everyone”

“Never settle for ‘this is just the way things are’ because it doesn’t have to be that way”

“Why would you settle for a mediocre life or mediocre health when you can have vitality and really feel amazing and do amazing things because you feel amazing”

My online course Sleeping Fabulously is a four week course where I take troubled sleepers through the process of understanding their sleep habits, to creating new habits that let them sleep soundly through the night.

You know how passionate I am about this subject and you know that it’s time for me to take my sleep message to more people.

Can I ask you to do something?

Would you be willing to be my Champion and champion the cause of better health and sleep with me?

What if, together, we could change ONE person’s life for the better? What if we could start more conversations about the topic of well-rested living? What if we could be...well, be rebels… together?

Are you in?
I hope so!

Contact me if you need ideas or head to http://bit.ly/sleepfabulously to check out all the details and share the link thoughtfully with your friends and on social media

Thanks in advance for being a fabulous change maker

036 Modern day miracle | Cornelia Constantinescu

“I told my husband that we have to forgive the person that hit us, who caused the car accident, because if we don’t forgive that person we can’t heal ourselves”

— Cornelia Constantinescu -

What would you do if your young child was so badly injured in a car accident that the doctor’s treatment plan seemed as traumatic as living with a disfigurement? In such a difficult situation Cornelia Constantinescu turned to what she intuitively knew about forgiveness, the belief her child could recover and took action within her control. This truly is a modern day miracle of recovery and creates the context to explore how we can release trauma and bring about healing in our lives.

Inspire yourself with these essential insights from Cornelia Constantinescu

We spoke about 

• Cornelia’s journey to find a better life

• The need for forgiveness

• A modern day miracle of recovery

• Releasing past trauma and moving forward freely in our lives

• The power of Emotional Freedom Technique (or Tapping) as a mind body tool

• Addressing the experience underpinning your emotions

• Finding a way to be with ease and joy even when challenging

Value Quotes 

“I wanted to do whatever I knew and I could do or possibly do because I’m a human being”

“I told my husband that we have to forgive the person that hit us, who produced the car accident because if we don’t forgive that person we can’t heal ourselves”

“In 2 days, the same doctors told my husband it’s a miracle that they didn’t see anything like this They asked us what we did that the girl recovered so well”

“I help so many people heal from their illness, with their money and their relationship that for me it was a must to do everything that I knew and could to help my daughter to heal”

“It is very important to get to the root of the trauma or emotion”

“Release the old habit and we put on a new habit”

“We have to address the emotion.  We have to give the emotion a voice because this way we find our balance”

“We are coming from our childhood with the life that we have until we release these traumas and these past experiences. The life that we have is something we learned in our childhood”

“We are so attached to our emotions and our past experiences that we are not even aware that we are doing the same things that our parents did”

“Just be present that the goal is to live fabulously and things will align. A mentor will come. A coach will come. A friend will come. A book will come”

“We are here to help one another and to do great things in the world and we deserve it”

Value Quotes 

“Change puts you in a new position to rethink things you’ve always thought even though they weren’t working, you’ve always thought them and there is some comfort in that”

“Looking at the story and recognising and accepting that it got you where you are but it might not or won’t likely get you to where you need to be” [sic]

“Resistance comes from not feeling mastery over where you’re headed”

“Going to sleep may not meet the need for validation or connection so they’re going to go find it before they go to bed which is going to have them lingering on social media for a long time”

“You can change how you feel if you change how you think”

“Shifting the narrative on how we are coming to the conclusions that bring us to be really berating ourselves”

“What we focus our attention on we get more of”

“Receive things in a way that makes us grateful… and those things then help us to focus in those positive, grateful, abundant kind of mindset vs getting stuck in that old tape of ‘I’m not good enough’, ‘I’m not smart enough’, ‘I’m not hard working enough’”
