In our fast-paced world, it's easy to lose touch with the intimate understanding of our bodies and the ways they communicate their needs. In a recent episode of the "What The Gut" podcast, Allison sat down with Polina LeRoy, a medical intuitive and holistic wellness coach, to delve into the connections between mind, body, and spirit. Together, they explored the transformative power of understanding health through a holistic lens—a journey fueled by curiosity and personal experiences.
A Journey Through Hardships to Intuitive Insight
Polina's journey in the wellness space started with a deeply personal mission: understanding cancer after losing her father. This exploration led her to insights about autoimmune conditions and postpartum depression through her unique mind, body, and spirit approach.
Interconnectedness of Body and Spirit
In the podcast episode, Polina shared her profound belief in the interconnectedness of the mental, spiritual, and physical realms. Her experiences have shown her that emotions, lifestyle, and thoughts significantly affect physical health.
Intuition Over Information
One of the more radical approaches that Polina discussed was her intentional distancing from conventional informational resources like Google. Instead, she trusts her intuition to guide her in understanding the body, particularly how she addresses autoimmune conditions.
Addressing Postpartum with a Holistic View
Polina knows firsthand the struggles of postpartum depression, which provided her with rich insights into adrenal and liver health and their impacts on mental well-being. She advocates for preparing women before the onset of postpartum by nurturing the liver and adrenal glands, thus warding off potential depressive states.
Embracing Mind-Body-Spirit Healing
For those new to Polina’s realm of holistic health, she advises starting with a simple practice: listening to the body. Polina’s practice teaches individuals to respect their bodies and manage illnesses by acknowledging their emotional and spiritual states, ultimately leading to an enriching and fulfilling life.
Final Thoughts
In closing, Polina reminds us that our bodies are living miracles deserving of love and respect. By understanding and attending to our bodies, we can eliminate the fear of aging and the limitations brought on by illness.
