"So many people don't realize having a healthy poop and releasing toxins out of your body is your ticket to health." Tia Maher

In this episode, I talk to Tia, a gut health coach, who decided to quit her high-stress corporate job a couple of years back and started to focus on healing multiple health issues that no doctors around the world were able to help her with.

Once she figured out the way, she decided to share it with the world and help other people who encounter the same struggles.

Tia talks about how chronic health issues can come from trauma and constant high stress, what to do when doctors don't recognize your issues as valid, how and why you should get your poop tested, and how can you ship it across the world, how alcohol and processed food affect your body, and much more.

Elisabeth Bohler, explains why she decided to fight cancer only with holistic methods and refused surgery and radiotherapy:

 "I sat with myself at some point and I thought: If you really believe in everything you're doing, why don't you try it? If I go through the normal medical way, it's not giving credit to everything I'm trying to learn."

In this episode, I talk to Elisabeth - a breathing coach, Ice Bath facilitator, Meditation teacher, Yoga teacher, and much more.

Elisabeth shares her story of discovering holistic methods, that helped her fight depression, anxiety, and even helped her heal from cancer.

She has been studying and practicing these techniques for 10 years, and she decided to pass the knowledge to everyone who needs it.

We talk about the benefits of breathwork and how can simple breathing techniques help you be more in control of your emotional, but also physical state.

Elisabeth shares two specific techniques, that can help you instantly deal with overwhelming stress and even a panic attack. We talk about the benefits breathwork has on athletic performance and dive deep into the positives of ice baths.

I recommend this episode to everyone because the information Elisabeth shares can literally change your life.

“You need to understand the bare fundamentals before you move to level two. So if you don’t understand level one, even though it’s the basic of the basics, if you don’t know it at 5 a.m. when someone wakes you up randomly, you cannot go to level two, cause there will be the one time when you’ll need it and you’ll not be ready.” Jan Pavlovcik - talking about his process of learning and applying the knowledge.
