Having a hard time dealing with stress? Unfortunately, stress is not something that can be completely eliminated from our lives, but we can empower ourselves to deal with it better. Laurie’s guest, Jennifer Wren Tolo, mom of four boys, is an RN, Whole Health Educator, and the owner of Butterfly Family Wellness. She acts as ‘An Integrative Bridge to Health’ helping bridge the gaps between modern medical healthcare and alternative health, & between self-care and caring for others. Listen to hear about how you can be empowered to heal herself! Key Points: *Jennifer uses a “whole person health“ approach to help people. *It is possible to heal yourself. *You need to take care of yourself because you can take care of others. *It’s important to be mindful and check in with yourself and how you’re feeling. *Letting your child with mental and physical health issues lead their healing. *A healthy diet is essential. *The dairy, soy, corn, and pesticide industries have a vested interest in having studies published that are favorable to them. *Pharmaceuticals and alternative medicines can be used together in a balanced way.
