Author and Speaker Jennifer Miracle-Best joins Dr. Emma Lockwood to talk about manifesting, and how it relates to all of us as we finally escape 2020 and begin 2021.

We all vibrate at different frequencies, and having self-awareness is incredibly important as our thoughts and feelings manifest themselves.

Gratitude is a conscious idea. In our COVID-19 world, it can be hard to come by, but it can be incredibly powerful.

Dr. Emma and Jennifer also chat about vision boards - and why this might be a great time to put one together.

Finally, Jennifer takes us through her career journey and her work with the LGBTQ+ community.

Desiree Winans rejoins Dr. Emma Lockwood in this episode to talk about adrenal fatigue.  The adrenal glands, just above the kidneys, often kick into overdrive during long periods of stress.  And 2020 has been one long period of stress for so many.

Desiree shares some recommendations, including Rhodiola, CBD, Ashwagandha, licorice root, and bee pollen.  Some of these actually correspond to your blood type.

Emma and Desiree also cover the importance of sleep - how much and when you get it.  Everything in the body starts with sleep. 

Finally, winter may not be the time to try a diet or cleanse - Desiree explains why.

We all know how difficult 2020 has been.  And in the beginning of the pandemic, self care was a popular topic.  But as the months wore on, many of us got away from it. And the holidays are a time when self care is needed.

Cally says it's important to acknowledge sadness and feelings of loss during COVID, and not just push those feelings to the side.  Therapists and mindfulness can be great tools. 

Are you working from home?  Create separation between home space and work space - both physical difference, and maybe even showering and/or changing clothes when transitioning from one to other.

Don't be afraid of holiday weight gain.  Listen to your body at this time and don't be afraid to give it what it needs.  That includes a little bit of grace.

Empaths who are taking care of people at this time may also experience weight gain as the body reacts to its environment.

Cally talks about not body positivity, but body neutrality.  She explains.

Whole Family Wellness has just begun carrying CBD products from Alive Market.  After an exhaustive search, Dr. Emma believes she's found the highest quality products for our patients.

In a conversation with Nicole Ghigliotty from Alive Market, we learn about the different types of CBD products and the vastly different ways they are made.  This is what sets Alive Market apart.

We cover some of the chemistry of CBD and how it helps the body, and why cleaner is better.

There are many different ways to apply CBD -we look at oils, body butters, tinctures, and roll ons, as well as the different scents and flavors each comes in.

Today, Dr. Emma Lockwood is joined by her sister, Lissin Lev Chaya, to talk about vibrational healing.

Lissin discusses her background and passion for singing, and how it - and her voice - led her to everything she does today.  In fact, her voice is her main tool when it comes to vibrational healing.  Other tools that vibrational healers use include stones, crystals, oils, bowls, and even tuning forks.

Lissin takes us inside a typical session with her, and how important the chakra system is to her work.

The seven chakras are the root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, brow chakra, and crown chakra.  We break these down in terms of both description and colors associated with each.

Finally, we spend the second half of our episode with Lissin leading us through a vibrational healing exercise that you can follow along with as you listen.

Today, Dr. Emma Lockwood is joined by acupuncturist Monica Mae Leibson.

Monica tells us how a childhood illness set her on the path toward herbal medicine, and how she found her passion.

Next, she explains acupuncture itself - as it relates to the Chinese concepts of Chi and balance - and what the process is like.  Even people who are afraid of traditional needles quickly learn that this process is much different.  In fact, Monica tells a funny story about treating doctors and nurses, and how they reacted to acupuncture.

We explore the 5 elements of Chinese medicine - wood, fire, water, earth, and metal.   So much of the body is connected, hence why chiropractic and acupuncture often complement each other quite well.

Finally, Monica walks us through what your first appointment with her looks like, and what to expect.

Dr. Christina Coxon-Floyd, co-founder of Whole Family Wellness, joins Dr. Emma Lockwood in this episode to give patients an update on her personal health situation.

We start with an introduction of Dr. Christina, including her background as a chiropractor, and some stories of patients that really had an impact on her.

Dr. Christina then takes us through her story - from being diagnosed with a brain tumor while pregnant to undergoing anesthesia and having the tumor removed at 14 weeks. 

We hear about what's helped her in her recovery -from sleep and sunlight to reiki and THC/CBD, and of course, chiropractic and massage.  We also discuss dry brushing and infrared saunas.
