Show Notes

#044  Fed up with diets and wellness hype? Christine Okezie is on a mission to guide you to approach your food, weight and body image challenges from a genuinely "whole-istic" perspective.  She's passionate about you having the right tools to understand the deeper soul truths in your health challenges so you can feel empowered in your body and in your life.

On today’s show, I spoke with my dear friend and fellow holistic health colleague Denise Schwendeman whose journey to help her son heal through severe challenges is a living testament to the power of integrating our intellect and our intuition when it comes to advocating for our health.

Inspired to use natural modalities of healing alongside western medicine, she incorporated essential oils into his care.  A decade later, she’s become a passionate educator of natural healthcare in the US and internationally, becoming a Diamond leader distributor with dōTERRA Int'l, a  leader in the essential oil industry .   

Denise is also certified in Ageless Grace,  a cutting-edge brain fitness program based on neuroplasticity that incorporates exercises that focus on the healthy longevity of the body and mind.

Denise’s goal is to empower others to incorporate natural products into their daily lives to support the body physically, mentally and spiritually. 

Listen in on this fun and highly informative conversation where you’ll  learn some amazing tips on how essential oils can help with some of the most common ailments.  And get lots of inspirational guidance on how to honor the innate intelligence of our bodies.
