Cornerstone Integrative Healing Podcast

Guess what your body might be trying to tell you? It knows exactly what it needs. Muscle testing—a powerful yet often overlooked tool—has opened up a new way of understanding our body's true needs, directly tapping into the wisdom of the subconscious mind. Many of us don't realize the vast knowledge stored in our subconscious. This week, we dive into the world of muscle testing to explore how it r...

Guess what supplements can't do alone? Heal your body completely. Do you know anyone who has taken endless supplements and still feels like something's missing? We do, too. One of the most common frustrations we see is people feeling stuck in a cycle of adding more and more supplements, hoping for a breakthrough, but still feeling tired, sluggish, or unwell. We get it—it's hard to know what's real...

You may know that healing is a journey. But did you know that discovering what's holding you back can sometimes be as simple as looking at your hair? In this episode we dive deep into one of the most insightful tools we use to guide our clients toward wholeness: Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). You'll hear us share how this simple, non-invasive test reveals crucial insights about your mineral...

Ever had your blood work come back "normal," but you still feel... not quite right? You're not alone—and you're not crazy for feeling frustrated. It's easy to feel stuck when your test results say one thing, but your body is telling you another story. Tune in to today's episode for more on why that might be!  Special links mentioned: Bloodwork Says You're Fine, But You Still Feel Off? Here's What...

Guess what we'll never be able to eliminate completely? Stress.  Do you know anyone (above the age of 25) who has never, in all her life, been stressed? We don't either. One of the hardest things to watch is women forcing themselves to survive instead of equipping themselves to ease and eliminate the stress and overwhelm that inevitably becomes a part of each day. How we manage stress is a huge pi...

According to a 2023 Gallup poll, only 36% of US women reported feeling rest. That's 64% of us functioning in various levels of fatigue. That's 64% of us powering through our days because...what other choice do we have? That's 64% of us experiencing a growing sense of overwhelm as we try to run harder, check more items off the list and prove we can be everything to everyone who needs us. That's too...

We kind of sound like broken records don't we? Could we harp on morning light ANYMORE?! Yes, we in fact could. Because that's how important it is. Everyvery time we take on a new client, we'll spend time assessing their past and present to create a plan that's unique to who they are and the season of life they're in. But we love being able to give some quick edits that offer a huge impact and one...

  What if instead of looking at all of the outward causes of your exhaustion, overwhelm, stress and lack of energy...we looked at what's going on inside? That's always our first step. By the time our clients get to us, most have medicated, supplemented and reallocated just about everything you can feasibly try. But we know, oftentimes, real healing is done by subtraction - not addition.  We want t...

So many are burnt out, stressed and run down when they start with us. We just keep digging with the same question: Why? As we investigate your operating system, we find what's broken. Then we partner with you in mending it. We don't just chase physical roots of issues - we go deeper. We get specific until we can answer the Why? Because it's ONLY then that we can begin to treat and walk toward ulti...

Living in overwhelm means our bodies are functioning in a stress response all the time. The fatigue, memory-loss, exhaustion, gut-issues, hormonal responses - all of it could be attributed to the overwhelm you're functioning in everyday life with.  What if slowing down is what lets your body catch up? What if evaluating and equipping yourself to beat overwhelm is what could heal what's been broken...

So many of our clients are fixated on addressing symptoms - which is fair. We want to do that, too. But what we really love to do is go deeper. What's the root of the physical? In this episode, our client Kendra, shares her story of doing everything she knew to do nutritionally and physically - but still feeling like something was off. It was when we started asking specific questions, asking her t...

I (Kari) fought digestive and gut issues for years. YEARS.  When I finished pharmacy school, I went to the doctor and he could literally feel the swelling of my gut because of my constipation. I did years of supplements, every detox you can think of and would find relief for a few weeks…then all of the symptoms would return. After making myself sick with a parasite detox - I was done. I decided I...

What do you do when you feel unsafe? Our brains are wired for safety. When safety decresese, desire for control increases. Eventually, we can find ourselves trying to control relationships, outcomes, effort... and we wonder why we are so tired. " Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good...
