Getting Back to Health with Nature and Your Own Mind & Body Connection

Next to Natural - for conscious parents

Could connecting to nature and slowing down, be the key to finding better health and wellness? Today’s guest thinks so. Meet Dr. Elizabeth Wade, a Naturopathic doctor who believes nature is our best teacher and that there is no one size fits all cure. Her approach to medicine is getting to the root cause with a medically based and naturally focused approach. She practices a trauma-informed and body-positive model of care. Elizabeth’s journey to healing began in college, and included traveling to over 30 countries around the world working with US embassy’s to promote cultural awareness and appreciation. Elizabeth said she found radical health in Seville Spain, and now works with clients around the world in her thriving online practice online. In this episode, we discuss the three pillars of health - physical, emotional, and mental - and how this hierarchy works in reverse to what most people think. While most people come to her for their physical ailments, it’s the mental and emotional issues that are at the root of healing. Learned from her own discovery of finding health during her time in Spain, Elizabeth emphasizes the importance of community, stress and the environment in relation to health. She believes that the answers to our health lies within each of us and physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, genetic, environmental and social factors all contribute to health and disease. Join us for this thought-provoking and informative episode to discover what it truly takes for our bodies to heal, and how starting on your own healing journey is simpler than you think.
