This holiday had a profound effect on me. It was like a pivotal moment that I knew I’d finally healed and reached my health goals. All those years of research, hard work, dedication & visualisation had finally paid off. On the plane home I had a little moment where I let it all sink in and just thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of the trip. The only reason I’m sharing this one year later is because I didn’t release podcast episodes in 2022 as I wanted a break from them to just focus on living life - which I most definitely did!

Today I’m joined by my friend Chloe, who was a past client of mine, and her story is one of the most inspiring out there. She is now a friend, a practitioner colleague, and here I have an interview that she kindly did for my Mold Course discussing the importance and connection with the lymphatic system. Chloe Stickings is a women's pelvic health coach who combines lymphatic work with energy healing and pelvic realignment to create a whole-body, whole-you approach to women’s health.  We discuss: Chloe’s health story - developing chronic illness at 12 years old How Chloe got into lymphatic system work  What the lymphatic system actually is How the lymph system is connected to almost every condition Symptoms of lymphatic congestion Is lymphatic massage suitable for everyone at every stage of their healing?

Today we are on episode 155 and it's crazy to look back over the past few years to where I am in my health today. When I first started this podcast I was purely managing my PCOS symptoms, not healing them. I was still unsure what the root cause and triggers were, but that was almost 4 years ago now and my goodness I've learnt a lot since then, including the answers to my PCOS which thankfully I no longer experience! This episode is an updated look into what I used to deal with on a daily basis and how I've come to understand the root cause of the imbalances I once had. I share a short lesson from my online PCOS course in the desire to give you hope if you have PCOS, or PCOS symptoms if not diagnosed MENTIONED: PCOS SUCCESS COURSE CASTOR OIL PACKS: QUEENS OF THRONES CASTOR OIL KIT - Use code VIVANATURALHEALTH10 for 10% off - USA CASTOR VIDA on AMRITA - Create an account using my invite code 'LSO6PQ' & you will receive 10% client discount on your orders - UK MY LINKS: AIR DOCTOR & AMAZING AIR - Use code AMAZINGVIV for £200 off, applicable for UK purifiers BON CHARGE - Grab my favourite Blue Light Blocking Glasses -  Use code VIVA for 15% off worldwideoff worldwide  COLLEGE OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE (CNM) REFERRAL LINK (GET £250 OFF) GET FITT INFRARED SAUNA - Use code Vivien10 for 10% off KING - Try my favourite ORGANO KING coffee WELLEASY FAVOURITE PRODUCTS - Use code VNH10 for £10 off (first £50+ order) & a 30-day free trial  YES SUPPLY referral link  ------- Got a podcast question?

Today I’m talking about the importance of minerals which are crucial when it comes to our health and of course, our hormones. I’m repurposing an Instagram Live from 2022 because this information is too good not to share on the podcast I’m discussing the minerals needed for blood sugar balancing, those needed to use and clear sex hormones, which minerals are implicated in thyroid and adrenal health, and so much more Minerals are the co-factors for enzymes in our body and what do they have to do with our hormones?

Today, I’m telling you all about my recent wisdom tooth infection. I had not experienced an infected wisdom tooth before, and if you haven’t either, let me tell you - it was NOT fun! However, with all my holistic and natural remedies up my sleeve, I managed to overcome this infection naturally and avoid antibiotics - thank goodness! This situation also lead me to trying out homeopathic remedies for the first time properly, and I’m hooked. With the help of my homeopathic friend Cassie and a kit I bought online, I haven’t stopped trying them out on myself and my family. I’ve linked to the kit I bought in case you are interested in trying it for yourself.  Hope you enjoy the episode! ------- MENTIONED: HELIOS Homeopathic Kit AINSWORTH Homeopathic Kit KING - Try my favourite ORGANO KING coffee MY LINKS: AIR DOCTOR & AMAZING AIR - Use code AMAZINGVIV for £200 off, applicable for UK purifiers QUEENS OF THRONES CASTOR OIL KIT - Use code VIVANATURALHEALTH10 for 10% off - USA CASTOR VIDA on AMRITA - Create an account using my invite code 'LSO6PQ' & you will receive 10% client discount on your orders - UK BON CHARGE - Grab my favourite Blue Light Blocking Glasses -  Use code VIVA for 15% off worldwideoff worldwide  COLLEGE OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE (CNM) REFERRAL LINK (GET £250 OFF) GET FITT INFRARED SAUNA - Use code Vivien10 for 10% off KING - Try my favourite ORGANO KING coffee WELLEASY FAVOURITE PRODUCTS - Use code VNH10 for £10 off (first £50+ order) & a 30-day free trial  YES SUPPLY referral link  ------- Got a podcast question?
