Welcome back to Everything Lifestyle—your spot for feel-good inspiration, smart tips, and a little real-talk. We’re all about helping you live well, without the overwhelm.
In this episode, we’re diving into the world of metabolic health—what it really means, why it matters, and how you can better understand where you stand.
If you’ve been frustrated with long ER wait times or struggling to find a family doctor, we’ve got some helpful insights and workarounds that might make things a little easier.
We’re also tackling the topic of forever chemicals—what they are and why they’re showing up in conversations about health and safety.
Plus, we’re joined by the ever-inspiring Stephanie Staples from Life Unlimited, who shares how the words we choose can uplift, encourage, and even shift your mindset.
You’ll also hear a deeply moving story of one woman’s journey—not just through illness, but through the emotional healing of trauma that followed.
And it is part one of the unspoken trauma with Clinical Counsellor Claire Maisonneuve.
So take a breath, settle in, and let Everything Lifestyle bring you some insight, inspiration, and maybe even a laugh. Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a nice review, and share the good vibes. Listen now—wherever you get your podcasts!
