Michelle Norris is a motivational speaker, the CEO and co-founder of Paleo f(x)™: the largest Paleo health and wellness event in the world, and the Presidential Director and Founding Partner or IDLife, a health and wellness company offering customized nutritional supplementation plans.

Norris is an expert in distilling the information she receives from multiple experts to get to the heart of issues.  She believes that many problems can be solved through holistic pathways without causing further damage to the body.

Norris suffered severe mold exposure in 2015 that activated a dormant Epstein Barr virus in her body and threw her hormones into a tailspin.  Throughout that experience, Norris lived with emotional and physical pain, extreme weight gain, and a loss of sexual desire, performance and pleasure.  With determination and hard work, Norris found the solutions that worked for her and was able to normalize her hormonal balance.

Norris is passionate about helping others understand how to educate themselves about their own health.  She believes that people have a responsibility to seek out the information they need and become their own best health advocates.

After climbing off the corporate ladder, Norris became a passionate voice for changing a broken healthcare system and a top supporter of the Paleo movement.

Today, she is bringing her expertise on how to stay positive and take control of your sexuality while managing chronic pain to the High-Tech Wellness podcast.

Some of the insights Norris will offer are:

 Appreciating Your Body

When pain is present, you can feel like your body has turned on you.  But the natural responses that lead to pain and other problems, such as lack of sexual desire, are your body’s way of protecting itself. 

“We sometimes think our bodies are against us when in reality, it is doing exactly what it was meant to do.  It’s doing exactly when it needs to do to make sure that you survive.”

Changing your thinking about the body you live in can be one of the most powerful tools at your disposal.   Without these natural processes, death would be far more common.  Instead of being angry, Norris says, it’s beneficial to find gratitude for the important work your body is doing.

 “You won’t be able to escape it. This is one of the reasons I believe it’s important to understand the risk of this exposure and to take steps to protect your biology, so you don’t get damaged from excessive exposures.”

Dr. Mercola embraces technology while also understanding the risks.  

“That’s one of my first recommendations…taking a moment to be very grateful for the fact that you have this body that is doing everything that it can to make sure you stay alive.”

The Role of Sexuality

Sexuality is one of the cornerstones of human connection and relationships.  Research has shown the importance of touch and the chemical reactions that happen in the body in response to this touch. 

Releasing Trauma

In the animal kingdom, the release of trauma is instinctual.  Humans have been trained not to run on instinct any longer, and in the process, have lost the essential ability to release trauma.
