## Resource

This episode is a deeply grounding conversation with Eleanor Evans Medina, creator of the Makaranda Method . We explore a different way of understanding anxiety - one that goes beyond mindset and looks at how stress and emotional overwhelm show up in the body. Eleanor shares how learning to listen to the body can create more clarity, steadiness, and a sense of safety over time. This conversation is also the perfect introduction to The Genetic Detox Protocol - a new limited-time offer I created in partnership with Eleanor. Here's what it includes: you get a detox genetics panel (the same one I ran on myself) that shows you which detox pathways are genetically slow in YOUR body, why past protocols haven't worked, and which supplements will actually help. Then you get a 60-minute session with me where I decode your results, explain what it all means for your health, and create your personalized detox plan. PLUS you get a 60-minute session with Eleanor for nervous system and somatic support - because detox isn't just physical. When your body clears toxins, emotions surface. And without tools to move through that, most people quit halfway through. If you often feel overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or disconnected from your body, this episode offers a gentle and thoughtful perspective. In this episode, we talk about: What the Makaranda Method is and how it supports body awareness Why anxiety is often experienced physically, not just mentally The role of somatic practices in feeling more grounded Simple tools you can begin exploring right away How The Genetic Detox Protocol supports both physical detox and emotional regulation Learn more about The Genetic Detox Protocol: https://detox.shetalkshealth.com/ *Early bird pricing ends December 23.
