I'm honoured to introduce you to Dr Tonya Cruikshank, a Holistic Doctor and Coach, and in this week's episode, we are diving deep into the importance of empowering conversations in healthcare.

We discuss how bravery and vulnerability can transform your interactions with medical professionals. It’s all about feeling confident to communicate your symptoms and experiences. After all, your story is a crucial part of the diagnosis process.

We talk about how emotions and psychology affects physical health and the way the nervous system can impact acute medical requirements versus longer term sustainable health.

We also touch on the value of building a supportive health team. Whether you’re seeing a GP, a nutritionist, or a coach, having a variety of perspectives can provide a more holistic approach to your wellbeing. The old model of relying on a single provider for all answers is fading, and it’s time to take charge of your health journey.

Join us for insights on fostering curiosity, self-advocacy, and ultimately creating a healthier you.
