#202: Are you missing the forest for the trees when it comes to your health with Dr Alex Orton
A lot of women get caught up in new fads, supplements, and technology - forgetting about the basic fundamentals. So, I wanted to sit down with Alex, who is a Naturopathic doctor and runs an online holistic practice, to talk about what a lot of people miss along their health journey. Are you missing any of these fundamentals?
In this episode, Alex and I chat about:
➡️The basic fundamentals and why they matter
➡️The purpose of supplements
➡️How stress presents itself
➡️What happens with chronic emotional stress
➡️How the body deals with trauma
➡️Learning lessons in life
➡️Examples of foods Alex recommends for his clients
➡️How it’s what you do 80% of the time
➡️Drinking to cope with stress
➡️Building internal awareness
➡️Good indicators of health
➡️Moments of pause or “doing nothing”
