Brian and Jill, founders of New Self, are here as our guests to debate this topic. The medical approach commonly will proclaim your health is dominated by your Genetics (what health conditions, body type, etc. are passed down from our parents); this means you are largely NOT in control of your health. There is long-term evidence that rebuttals this is the study of Epigenetics. Brian and Jill have over 40 years of experience in the health care arena. They have both experienced set backs in their personal health that was helped through a functional medicine approach. Now as functional health wellness consultants they want to help people take control of their own health. Jill and Brian will breakdown Epigenetics to help you understand how to control your ability to stay healthy through your lifestyle, and more.

Through the pandemic most massage centers were shut down. Massage therapist who had a passion to help people during this time were able to adapt and (when it was safe) find ways to practice their craft. Monique Johnson was one of those people. I am fascinated by Monique’s story of resilience, and now success, in growing her personal massage spa, Total Body Bliss. As an expert in her art, I want to help us understand the different massage techniques and other services Monique uses to help her clients feel healthy. And then why Monique’s clients continue to use her services to stay healthy.
