In this Bonus Episode

In this bonus episode of the Vitality Exchange podcast, Shannon Vivar is joined by holistic health coach and nutritional counselor Jennifer Becker from Aspire Integrative Health. They discuss the importance of addressing root causes of diseases like toxins, parasites, inadequate energy, poor blood circulation, and EMF radiation, beyond just focusing on diet to resolve gut issues.

Jennifer emphasizes the significance of incorporating play, joy, exercise, and specific detoxes such as parasite cleanses into one's lifestyle to achieve homeostasis and prevent diseases. Highlighting the critical role of the microbiome in overall health, Shannon and Jennifer talk about how it can influence one's predisposition to diseases more than genetics. The discussion also touches upon the societal neglect of fun and the psychological aspects of health, including dealing with trauma and the fear of judgment.

In 2020 she completed her 200hr Yoga teacher training certification through the Regenerative Living School and found a passion for sharing the practice. In 2022 Jennifer and her husband became curious about microgreens and started growing them for friends and neighbors.

They are currently expanding their business 904Microgreens and hope to include more produce, herbs and citrus in the future.
