Episode 55 callyrae.com In this episode of 'Living WOW Out Loud,' host CallyRae discusses the transformation that the Living Wow lifestyle can have on one's health, particularly during the autumn season. CallyRae shares her personal experience with seasonal illnesses and the steps she took to overcome them by adapting to nature's cues. The episode focuses on three key principles: recognizing the end of the growing season and harvesting, mimicking animals' preparations for winter, and aligning our biorhythms with nature. Key triggers for illness, such as stress, sugar, and always being 'on,' are identified and mitigated by slowing down, managing energy, and adjusting diets to include seasonal foods. CallyRae encourages listeners to embrace the autumn transition for a stronger immune system, enabling them to avoid flu season and live a healthier, more thriving life. https://linktr.ee/livingwow

Episode 53 https://callyrae.com/

Today I want to introduce you to what my husband calls God's pharmacy and teach you how to recognize food as medicine and to think of food a little bit differently. Think of medicine a little bit differently. And as a result, empower you to be the expert in your body. We'll start with thinking about food differently. In the SAD culture, Standard American Diet and Lifestyle, we definitely think about food as calories in, calories out. That is deeply ingrained in our culture.That is not how we view food in WOW, in using food as medicine, using food as fuel. We're looking deeper. We're looking more broadly. Now we're going to flip the script on medicine. And instead of thinking of medicine as this quick fix. Masking.

This is the most delicious medicine you are ever going to experience. I guarantee it.That's a side effect of food as medicine is that you start to understand and realize how delicious whole food and healing food can be. It is not only nourishing, but it is delicious as well.

The last step of using food as medicine is the prescription part. Now you have your data. You know what your superfoods and what your personal poisons are. Now you figure out your personal script. Ratio. Frequency. Duration.

The bottom line is that food addresses the root cause. And when we address the root cause of our symptoms, then we're healing. And when we're healing, we're thriving. Understand that food is medicine. And if we use it that way, we understand how to put it into our bodies, analyze how it is affecting our bodies, and then come up with our personal script of what works best. You will be living WOW, you will be thriving and understanding that root cause and healing. That to me is what it's all about.

Episode 52

So what does it look like to be intentional? It’s simple but it’s not easy. Simple because anyone can do it but not easy because most won’t.

The good news is that intention is found at the beginning of any change because you can’t change something you’re not aware of. So, if you are at the beginning of your transformation from surviving to thriving and WOW vs SAD is new to you this is still relevant.

This episode will discuss the aspects of SAD to be able to recognize it and get out of the current drifting away to surviving.

Next, you will explore the hidden WOW of intention and complete a brief assessment of your 8 systems of the Living WOW framework to become the expert in your body. This will help you identify the 3 areas of greatest need and help you put your feet down and begin to move out of the SAD current and intentionally move into WOW.

Finally, you'll learn how to maintain the thriving in Living WOW as the waves of life crash over you as they undoubtedly will. Just like a butterfly would never go back into a cocoon to become a caterpillar, why in the world would going back to surviving be an option? It's not.

There is a flow that is undeniable when you are thriving Living WOW. It is energizing and joyful. It is easy to love and serve, move and celebrate, learn and grow. When you experience thriving you can’t go back to living SAD.

When I was going through my first transformation that I wrote about in 8 Lessons Lupus Taught Me: From Surviving to Thriving with Autoimmune Diseases the big revolutionary findings were focused on epigenetics and the fact that we could turn on or off our genetic predispositions with lifestyle choices.

Now I am struck by the revolutionary findings of today which are focused on the microbiome and the emerging evidence that our lifestyle choices can support or sabotage our health based on the health of our “bugs” in, on, and around us.

What is the natural response for most of us when it comes to bugs? Kill em, kill em all! Pests! Disease! Unfortunately, we have not understood the role of the bugs and as a result have inadvertently created much bigger problems. The degree of damage is still being determined as the microbiome is being studied and revealed.

The most basic understanding that is widely accepted now is that we are host to trillions of biota that live in, on, and around us. Microscopic organisms that have various roles in our survival. Probably the most recognized are the microbiome of the digestive tract. Lesser recognized, but I would argue also extremely important are the microbiome of the skin.

The question is not as much where they are (just assume they are everywhere) but rather what is their role and how can we cohabitate for thriving together?

Year after year, study after study, the complexity of the microbiome is beginning to be understood. Now it is common to replenish and support the biome with prebiotic and probiotic foods and supplements if you do need to take antibiotics. Doctors do not prescribe antibiotics as quickly and broadly as they once did thanks to the superbugs that began to create a firestorm of terror in the medical community (especially hospitals and nursing facilities).

Some of the latest studies are linking our gut health (aka gut biome) to immune function and brain function. Interesting when you look at the amount of bug killing compounds in our foods and environment. Could it be causing the rise in autoimmune diseases and mental health conditions of all kinds in all ages?

We are making huge strides in understanding the biomes of the body, what some eat, how their waste is necessary to support our organs, how each one is individual and unique like a fingerprint. Western medicine is coming along in some ways but old habits die hard.

Just like epigenetics turned our understanding of DNA on its head, I see the microbiome turning our understanding of our bodies systems and physiology on its head. There is still so much to learn and understand but I believe that the statement that Living WOW is founded on rings more true than ever.

Our bodies are indeed designed to heal if we give them the environment to do so. Trusting and listening to your individual body so that you can become the expert in YOUR body is key while the scientists figure out the universal details for EVERYbody
