New Paradigm Wellness: Functional Medicine and Human Design with Hope Pedraza

In this illuminating conversation, we sit down with Hope Pedraza—a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Human Design guide and Clinical Hypnotherapist—to explore how physical health and energetic alignment are deeply intertwined. Hope shares her journey from dance and pilates into integrative wellness, blending lab-based science with energetic healing. Together, we dive into how burnout, hormones, minerals, and emotional regulation are all connected through the lens of Human Design. This episode invites you to see your body as an intuitive system capable of self-healing when you learn to listen, rest, and reconnect with your innate balance—and encourages you to honor your rest cycles by viewing rest as just as valuable as your productivity.

 

Key Takeaways:

• How true healing happens when we integrate the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of health.

• Why learning your body's language—its signals, sensations, and subtle cues—is the foundation for self-healing and empowerment.

• How burnout often stems from over-identifying self-worth with productivity, and why healing requires shifting your frequency and cultivating safety around rest.

• How reframing rest as a safe, worthy, and necessary part of healing can rewire long-held trauma responses around overworking and "doing enough."
