Summary

Ep 70. In this episode I’m sitting down with Megan Blacksmith and Dr. Alex Golden, the force behind Zesty Ginger, to talk about the power of subconsciousness and how brain chemistry is a deciding factor for everything in your daily life. After individually dealing with chronic hormonal imbalances, the duo developed what’s known as the Four Phase Cycle Approach to help women regain control over their health. In this episode, we had the opportunity to discuss an array of incredible topics, including everything from the irrefutable mind-body connection to seven practical steps you can take to “heal,” whatever that means to you.

A big focus of this episode is looking at how to account for your complete health while trying to achieve a specific goal. This is where the “Four Bodies” come in: Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual. In order to reach total fulfillment where happiness and wellness merge, you must nurture the mind-body connection. Simply put, you could take the most amazing supplements in the world, but if you’re not nourishing your mental health, the effort is futile. 

As always, tune into the podcast for all of the juicy goodness, and be sure to share your thoughts with me on IG: @shoporganicolivia. I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Hi everyone. Welcome back to What's the Juice podcast. I'm Olivia, clinical herbalist and founder of

Organicolivia.com and just human who is very passionate about arming people with the tools that I wish

0:14.0

I had when I first started my very own healing journey. And that is why I created this podcast so that I

0:20.0

could give you guys as much information

0:22.4

and empowerment and knowledge as possible as you dig deeper into your physical, emotional,

0:28.3

and mental health. With that being said, I have such a powerful episode for you guys today.

0:34.7

I've interviewed the infamous duo from Zesty Ginger, Dr. Alex, and

0:39.7

Megan, two women who I've been following on Instagram for years now. And when I first started

0:46.1

following them, they were both functional practitioners. They were very into hormone health.

0:51.1

You know, the things that we talked about on this show before. They were very into

0:54.2

hormone health. A lot of the things that we've talked about on this show before, like cycle

0:57.9

sinking and the four phases of your menstrual cycle and how your body and your hormones are

1:02.6

different depending on what phase you're in and all the different things that you can do for your

1:07.6

hormones, like supporting detox pathways and functional testing and all of that good stuff.

1:12.6

And for years and years, I watched them help so many women with hormone issues by addressing these very real physical aspects,

1:21.6

by doing these functional lab tests, by arming women with foods and herbs and elixirs and tools that they could consume during

1:30.0

their cycle to optimize their hormones. And then at one point, I really saw their content start

1:36.0

to change. And this was because Megan and Alex realized that treating people on paper and solely

1:43.9

physically by getting them to change their diet or start a

1:47.0

supplement regimen or do functional testing was only addressing a part of the problem. And so many

1:52.5

of their clients were actually having a totally different problem or perhaps a more root cause problem

1:59.6

that was on a nervous system and brain level. And you will
