Today I speak with Gold Coast based Naturopath, Olivia Odey from Adaptive Naturopathy. Liv is not only a qualified Naturopath, she is Author of ‘Stress Less’, Recipe creator, and all round beautiful human. Liv had a life changing experience last year having a seizure which inspired her journey to deeper understand stress and its impacts on our health and nervous system.

Today we dive into:

~ What led her to become a Naturopath

~ What inspired her to write her book ‘Stress Less’

~ Her experience with a life changing nervous system condition in her teens and then last year experiencing a seizure & how these experiences led her to develop a huge passion for wellness & neuroscience

~ The impacts on our body and nervous system when we are constantly busy and rushing and chasing after the next dopamine hit

~ The pressure we put on ourselves to do it all

~ The importance of rest and actually doing nothing

~ The Allostatic load explained

~ The impacts of having a seizure on her mental health

~ How this inspired her to write her book
