Our guest Daniel Maresca, CCHt has a secret about this that we think you’ll want to hear… Its not the REAL you that is feeling overwhelmed, stressed-out and feels like there’s not time to get things done. It’s not the real Self that is creating those self-sabotaging behaviors like late night snacks, skipping the gym or meditation. In this podcast Clinical Hypnotherapist Daniel Maresca and Dr. Nicole will explore how you can connect to the REAL you, create space in the present moment and feel more at-ease so that you can create the changes that you desire. And most importantly get those self-sabotaging inner parts on board with what you really want in life. About Daniel Maresca, CCHt Daniel Maresca has supported his clients' health and well-being for the last 18 years using a holistic and functional approach. During that time he began working with clients using corrective and rehabilitative exercise and then functional nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Following that his path evolved into hands on energy healing, and a modality to address early traumas. Over his career, he has come to recognize that at the core of all of his clients' complaints has been negative emotions and beliefs. He subsequently was trained at the top Hypnotherapy School in the Country, the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy which included over 500hrs of training including parts work, eye movement therapy, clinical hypnosis for pain, and regression to name a few of the techniques he uses. Additionally he is trained in a 100hr modality called Holographic Memory Resolution using the frequency of color to holographically replace the unmet childhood and adult needs of clients.

Podcast #28- Reducing Allergies & Essential Oils with Lila Collins, RN 04/22/2022

Podcast #28- Reducing Allergies & Essential Oils with Lila Collins, RN Reducing Allergies with Essential Oils with Lila Collins, RN Let’s talk about ALLERGIES! Allergies can either be seasonal or year round, and the pesky symptoms include sneezing, itchy red/watering eyes, runny nose, wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing, rashes, swollen lips or skin, and just overall feeling sick. They can be triggered by airborne allergens such as pollen, pet dancer, dust mites, and mold; or they can be from foods such as peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, etc. They occur when the body’s immune system is reacting to a particular substance as though it is harmful. Here’s how it happens: When allergens are breathed in, the immune system views it as danger, so it releases antibodies that attack the allergens. A chemical called histamine is released into the nose, eyes, and lungs, which is intended to attack harmful agents and remove them from the body. Allergies and Your Immune System Allergies generally indicate that your immune system us in overdrive, reacting to a whole host of things that don’t usually cause harm to the body. Things You Can Do to Control Allergy Symptoms Cleanse your nose with a net pot Detox Your Body Chiropractic Care Essential Oils Essential Oils Essential oils help detoxify the body and fight infections, bacteria, parasites, microorganisms, and other harmful toxins.

Podcast #27 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Brain Fog & More - Interview with Nourish Center Avl 03/29/2022

Podcast #27 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Brain Fog & More - Interview with Nourish Center Avl An interview with owner of Nourish Center or Asheville, Valerie Holbert. In this episode we discuss the history of Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy and how it differs from Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers and higher pressures of chambers. We also talk about who benefits from the therapy, how many sessions are needed, and whether or not it's possible to do from home. You don't want to miss out on this wonderful therapy! Valerie Holbert, NCB-HWC, RYT-500 is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Registered Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master and Hyperbaric Technician. Working through her own past traumas and learning to be present and regulate her nervous system have been an integral part of her own healing journey—physically, emotionally and spiritually. Through mindfulness practices, self care practices and yoga along with changes in diet, lifestyle and stress management, Valerie changed her relationship with and experience of chronic pain, autoimmune issues and a Fibromyalgia diagnosis in her 20s. It’s been an ongoing journey since then adding ancestral healing, reiki and energy work to the mix. She strives through her work to help others release what is no longer serving and connect to their most authentic and vital selves. In her new practice, Nourish Center Asheville, Valerie brings an additional offering—Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Her husband suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2021 and immediately after coming home from the ICU she drove to Atlanta and rented a chamber. After seeing the benefits for his healing and learning of the many benefits, she purchased a new tank to share with clients here in WNC. She believes it’s important to nourish our souls and our cells, and that we all need support with both to truly find clarity, reconnect to our own inner knowing and implement steps to reach goals. When she is not in the office, you’ll likely find her kayaking on a local river or lake or walking trails within view of the water, walking her crazy dogs, staring at the moon and clouds or spending time with her husband and teenage daughter. /episode/index/show/backinbalance/id/22614704

Podcast #18 Foods That Boost Your Immune System Podcast 18: Foods that Boost Your Immune System What is your immune system? Your immune system is made up of a complex network of organs and glands that fight off viruses and bacteria to keep you healthy. How to boost your immune system? Good diet Exercise and movement Stress reduction Sleep Vitamin D Chiropractic adjustments Foods you can eat to boost your immune system: Vitamin C Foods Why Vitamin C? Vitamin C raises the production of white blood cells, which are vital in fighting off infections. All citrus foods are high in Vitamin C (grapefruits, lemons, oranges, limes, etc). The recommended daily dose is 75mg for women and 90 mg for men. Broccoli Broccoli is supercharged with vitamins A, C, and E and minerals. Steaming broccoli is the best way to retian the nutrients Bell Peppers Did you know that bell peppers have 3x as much vitamin C as a Florida orange? It is also loaded with beta carotene, which is great for the immune system and skin health! Prebiotics Probiotics are beneficial bacteria, while prebiotics are the food foundation for these bacteria—we need both! Prebiotics come from mostly fibrous carbs that humans can’t digest. The beneficial bacteria in your gut then eat this fiber. Prebiotics are found in vegetables, fruits, and legumes! They are also found in oats, bananas, garlic, onions, asparagus, and berries. See the link below for a list of recipes!! Foods Rich in Probiotics Probiotics are found in naturally fermented foods like kimchi, kraut, yogurt, and kombucha. Probiotics create a balance of bacteria in your digestive system, which inhibits growth of harmful gut bacteria! Zinc Zinc activates the enzymes used to break down proteins in viruses and bacteria, so they are less able to spread. Our bodies cannot make zinc, so it is important to eat foods high in it such as seafoods, meat, tofu, lentils, yogurts, oats, mushrooms, and unsweetened dark chocolate.

Podcast #17 What is Chiropractic? 09/05/2020

Podcast #16 The Power of pH 07/12/2020

Podcast #16 The Power of pH Welcome back everyone! Today we are going to talk about the POWER OF pH! Your acidity levels can affect SO many factors of your body's health--from digestive issues to degenerative diseases. As we age, our pH tends to decrease, causing a slew of issues. HOW CAN YOU FIX IT? There are diet and lifestyle factors that can have a play in your pH, and you have the power to control it through upping alkaline-based foods (fruits and vegetables) and lowering stressors such as alcohol and pharmaceutical drugs. Stop by and get your pH tested! In this Episode.... What is pH? pH is the scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acid lowers the pH whereas basic raises pH. Room temperature water is neither acidic nor basic, it is neutral with a 7pH. The scale ranges from 0 to 14. The pH scale is used in common settings, such as when you have a pool or hot tub and use the strips to know whether or not to add chlorine or bromine. Just as your pool needs to be balanced, your body needs internal balance as well. Why is a Healthy pH important? Must be at a certain level for living organisms to survive. For example, stomach acids tend to be at a certain pH to work properly. Human life requires a 7.4 (slightly alkaline) level in the serum to survive and be healthy. When Alkaline- body converts free radicals to harmless water and oxygen Cells are in homeostasis Cells receive proper nourishment Cells can release waste with ease Healthy inflammatory response Stronger immunity Good bone density When acidic- cells inner environment becomes toxic Higher levels of free radicals which cause more inflammation, leading to chronic inflammation Strain is put on digestive system, liver, kidney Weak immune system—harder to fight off viruses and bacterias Bone loss Unhealthy cellular environment, higher chance of pathogen growth and cancer How do we become acidic? Diet- the foods that we eat on a regular basis (dairy, meats, trans fats, cooked oils, baked goods, refined sugars, coffee, carbonated drinks) can increase acid levels Lifestyle factors such as stress, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, and stimulants can all lead to acid buildup in the body. Age- as we get older, our bodies accumulate acid wastes. Research published in the Journal of Gerontology shows alkaline reserves remain constant until 40 years of age. After 40, these reserves decrease severely. This can lead to degenerative diseases sycg as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and more. Researchers conclude that the “accumulation of acid and reduction of the alkaline state as we age and eating the standard American diet causes age-related metabolic acidosis, which further causes degenerative diseases.” How to Test: Saliva Test with litmas paper strips can be found at the pharmacy (we have some here if you want to get tested at your next appt!) With the strip of litmas paper, you dip into a spoon with your saliva or directly into mouth for 1-2 seconds. After this, it will take about 10 seconds to change colors, and then with a pH color chart, you compare your strip to that of the chart. Record this number and it is best to test a few times a week for two weeks. Each point is a multiple of 10, 10x more acidic! For example, coffee has a pH of 4 and soda a pH of 2—when your body should remain at 7.4! How to Fix Your pH? 1. DIET- healthy cells thrive on an alkaline, 02 rich, plant based diet, whereas unhealthy cells, bacterias, and viruses HATE oxygen! An increase in 02 directly equals an increase in HEALTH. a. Acidic food removal- pasteurized dairy products, meats, trans fats, cooked oils, baked goods, refined sugars, coffee, carbonated drinks b. Alkaline food additions- plant based green foods such as barley grass, chlorella, spirulina, veggies (carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, parsley, kale), fruits ( blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, plums, pears, etc) 2. LIFESTYLE FACTORS- decrease stress, pharmaceutical drugs, and alcohol. 3. GREEN DRINK SUPPLEMENT- Superfoods, complex carbohydrates, alkaline protein, and vegetable based healthy omega oils help quench free radicals, decrease inflammation, alkalize surrounding tissue, and provide a proper acid/alkaline balance. A green drink supplement helps fulfill the recommended 7-13 servings of fruits/ vegetables Chlorophyll helps plants absorb light. Molecular structure of chlorophyll is similar to hemoglobin, a substance of red blood cells that help transport oxygen. Chlorophyll helps your blood deliver 02 throughout the body, creating stronger cells, and healthier blood! Greensfirst is filled with certified organic fruits and vegetables that. Have been juiced, then spray dried at low temperatures to retain nutrients and live enzymes. There are 15 servings of fruits and vegetables in ONE SCOOP! /episode/index/show/backinbalance/id/15172430
