E106: How STRESS can be an MS CATALYST - with Susan French

Susan French is my guest here and she has a lot to share on how stress can be a big catalyst in disease. She has become a leader in the holistic health world. We chat about childhood trauma, stress, and how to heal from it. She's got some great ideas on how to minimize stress, eat a healthy diet, and practices on self care. We all have stress but learning how to manage it is key.

BIO on Susan:

After working exclusively with individuals and couples, Susan noted that most of the healing came from the initial “Tier One” information that she provided – basic details about a person’s physiology and function, nutrition, and the effects of external influences. Once understood, her clients find that making healthier lifestyle choices makes sense – and championing their own best well-being can become second nature.  Simple modifications led to lower blood sugar levels, improved liver function, better sleep, desired weight loss, and reduced anxiety, depression, brain fog, and fatigue – along with many other health benefits. 

Susan wanted to reach more people and empower them with this basic – life-improving – information.  Understanding that employers would benefit from a healthier workforce, and the workforce would benefit from a healthier life and that groups in general benefit from the build-in support, Susan worked to create adaptable, easy-to-understand, information-packed group programs.  

Her grasp of business, knowledge of functional nutrition, desire to empower people via education, and her comfort in providing helpful instruction combine to make Susan a rare, relatable, and empathetic leader and educator.
