Episode #281 - How do you define living life?

Episode #281 - How do you define living life?

Helping me answer that question and to speak about all things health-related is Jen Beck!

If you are ready to experience love for your body and make food your friend again, I am your gal! My name is Jen Beck and for the last 15+ years, I have worked with clients dealing with chronic conditions to folks that have struggled with their weight their entire lives, and across all age spectrums from kids to 80-year-olds – so I know no 2 bodies are alike, nor are their issues the same. Most people struggle to make sense of all the so-called expert advice out there.

It breaks my heart to see people fail through 15 different diets, suffer through knee surgeries, wake up feeling like crap, and go through life believing “This is as good as it gets”… and I see this with people in their 30s! I was just like that, and I turned it around. I can help you figure out exactly what you need and how to make it work within your busy lifestyle! I will be your guide, cheerleader, and support along your journey to find what your body needs specifically for you to feel fantastic, so you can fall in love with your food, body, and life again.

I swore in my 20s that I would do whatever it takes to make it so that no family had to endure what we did. I have been on a mission ever since! In my 20’s, I was living on coffee, Diet Mountain Dew, sugar, and convenience foods. I was dragging through the day, getting sick a couple of times a year and just not feeling awesome, but I had no idea how bad it had gotten because my health had declined so gradually I hadn’t noticed. Then I got a wake-up call! I was 26, standing in my mom’s living room watching her entire life being sorted through as she was being packed up to move into a nursing home at 49 years old! Through research, I found that with a different lifestyle, this situation may have been completely avoidable, or at least delayed by many, many years. I saw people reverse disease, and reclaim their health from “terminal” and chronic diseases that I had previously believed were life sentences.

Joining the show today is Angela Legh!

I lived through much adversity; and as it is said, what didn't kill me made me stronger. I had an abusive, alcoholic father whose behavior had a major impact on my life. Based on his behavior, my young mind decided that rage was an emotion no one should feel. My judgment of anyone who became enraged did not serve me well in my first marriage, nor in my life.

A wildfire destroyed our home . . . that was the catalyst for significant change in my life. Over 12 months, I lost my home to fire, left my marriage, quit my job, and moved across the world. During this journey, I discovered many tools for overcoming adversity and achieving emotional balance. I now share these tools with children through the power of story; because with this knowledge, they can make better life choices.

Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR? Institute (www.pabrinstitute.com) with the mission to provide pain, stress, and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 12 years. Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions. Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues, and the need for medications. She co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling books Don't Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR?
