How often do we pause and check in to see if things are working, and importantly if things are working for us? I share more about this in this Episode of the Wonder with Me Podcast, where you’ll discover how you can assess the results you currently have and reverse engineer what you need to change to get different results. You’ll also learn what happens inside your nervous system when you observe the world around you and what that ...

There is a lot going on in the world these days that makes it really easy to spiral into fear, confusion, and uncertainty. Speaking to my American friends and clients over the past several weeks, not one of them has said, “I’m perfectly comfortable with how things turned out.” There is a pervasive culture of stress and anxiety, globally. It’s all really heavy stuff. And it can be easy to get really bogged down in it. For me, I know...

What does it mean to give yourself space? To give your goals space? What are you saying yes to that is getting in the way of you making the space for your dreams? And what behaviors are blocking that from happening? After reviewing an archived blog post I share how our problematic behaviors that might be taking up too space on the path to reach our dreams can over insights about what we truly want and are looking for. When we know ...

What does it really take to reach a goal? Well, I suppose first it takes knowing what the goal is. And what comes next? Obviously every goal will have different steps required to get there. What I’m really wondering is what is underneath that? What drives us? What starts the engine? What keeps us moving? What happens when we get bored or tired? These are the types of questions I’m getting curious about in  this Episode of the Wonde...

If you could learn one thing that would positively affect everything in your life, what would that one thing be? I'm also curious about why it is so hard for people to withhold judgment of themselves? To love themselves unconditionally? To have faith in their own abilities? In this episode of the Wonder With Me Podcast we explore these questions by re-reading an old blog post from 11 years ago.

Have you ever hidden part of yourself? Of course you have! We all have. We all do that regularly! But… why? Why do we all lie to ourselves? What do we negate ourselves? Pretend like we’re different people? Listen in as I I share my experience about recently listening to the lyrics of a very well-known song and how this sparked a whole train of questions and curiosities. It really got me wondering about why we deny our truth - both ...

This episode is the first retro-sode which is a throwback recording of my early blog posts to see how they hold up over time and if my tune has changed about them. 

In this episode I read and comment on the very first blog post I ever wrote called “Three Must-Read Lessons for Grown-Ups Who Are Kids at Heart,” published on June 1st, 2013 on drtoniawinchester.com.

It’s hard, isn’t it? Hard to sift through all the information out there - especially when it comes to your health? 

What's good? What's not good?

What's right? What's not right? 

What's helpful? What’s not helpful? 

In the age of information, it can be completely overwhelming to find out what's actually good and true and that's because what's good and true is going to be quite different for most people. 

However, there are some com...

How do we really create new results in our life? This is one of the questions I wonder about a lot and get really curious about. Of course, there are lots of ways of doing this but I’m slanted to suggest that it has to start on the inside first. We have to shift - not just our thinking - but something deeper than that. And when we are able to do that (spoiler alert: I can help) then what seems like miracles can occur in our health ...

Do you look at others and think, “That’s easy for you to say, or do.” And then you fill in the reason why you think that thing is easy for them? Over the years certain patients have expressed something similar to me. “That’s easy for you to say. You’re a naturopathic doctor.” As if that excludes me from being a mortal human with pain, struggles, vulnerabilities, and susceptibilities. The truth is you never fully know someone’s stru...

If you were to have a framework that could help you live a healthy, happy, life... would that be valuable to you? In this episode I share a (very positive) experience of my first ever blood donation with Canadian Blood Services, because my experience allowed me to weave together the perfect way of describing a really helpful approach to living and life! This episode serves as a prelude to episode number 46, where I'll revea...

Have you ever tried to create a new, healthy habit and started off really well, but quickly lost your momentum and found yourself back when you started or even worse off? It’s something I see commonly with the people I work with - and I’m not immune to it myself either! When patients or clients bump up against new ideas or explore new habits (often a by-product of working with a naturopathic doctor or mind-body healing coach), t...

What is struggling? What is suffering? How much of it is necessary? How much of it is optional?

What about our habits or choices that lead to our struggle and suffering?

How much of that is optional?

We chat about exactly that in this episode. We'll talk about what is and isn't optional when it comes to our choices, health, healing, struggling, and well-being.

Come wonder with me!

This episode is for my busy folk, the overdoers, the over-carriers, the over-pleasers, the over-busiers. Did I say that one already? The overwhelmed. It's for the people with schedules that could make a monkey dizzy and probably do make monkeys dizzy. It's for those of us who do too much.

In this episode, I'm going to share with you a very common and frequent conversation that I have with my husband about how I tend t...

Have you ever wondered what it really takes to be healthy and well? Maybe you think you know what to do but everything you've tried hasn't helped you to get to where you want to go? In this episode we get curious about different behavior categories that all lead to a healthier body and mind. I also share the 2 stone cold truths about health that you just can't deny if you want to be well.

What if that one bad, problematic behavior of yours was gone? In this episode, I speak very candidly and personally about something that has changed in my habits. There was a particular behavior that wasn't great, helpful, or productive, and in fact hindered my progress in a lot of ways. And now it's gone. I share what it was, why it's gone, and how you too can help these types of habits disappear.

You’ve probably heard me rattle on about the Formula for Health. You know the simple idea that health equals nutrients in and wastes or toxins out? 

And how we need to apply this formula to all levels of health: biochemical, physical, emotional, mental for balanced well-being? 

Well… there’s another ingredient I’d like to stir into the mix. I recognized it consciously some time ago while leveraging my clinic record keeping software...

My brother in law leaned in to my car window and said, “Hey Buddy” He was directing party guests where to park. My response to his question was to just start bawling. And maybe you’ve had something totally innocuous happen and be swept off your feet with emotion. I was bumping up against another layer of grief about my dad passing, which I didn’t know was there, until it poured out of me. I tell this story and others in the latest ...
