About Halina Kowalski

Halina Kowalski is a mental health professional & clinical researcher with an insatiable thirst for learning ancient healing methods and practices from all cultures and peoples. Her studies led me down a path and quest to learn the traditional healing methods of her own Latvian ancestry. She discovered, by no coincidence, she had already been deeply drawn to the Latvian-Baltic tradition of sauna (pirts) that incorporates wild foraged plants and herbs into the heat and steam ritual of sacred mind/body/spirit healing. Her role as a researcher allowed her to piece together a combination of precision medicine, functional medicine and these ancient healing practices to place her own long covid into remission.

We’re always breathing, so what’s the big deal, right?

Should you be aware of how you are breathing?

In this week’s episode, Evie and Toréa have the pleasure of talking about functional breathing with Dr. Andy Sabatier of Academy West Performance. For something we do over 10,000 times in a day, you’d think that we were all breathing with correct form! Shockingly, most of us are not using our anatomy in the way it was designed. In this episode you will learn what parts of our anatomy are most important for functional breathing and why this is so important for your health, for your athletic performance and for longevity.

Let’s dig in!

Ever wonder what health coaches talk about when they talk shop? Or wonder what their lives look like behind social media?

In this week’s episode, Toréa & Evie just let the conversation roll. In this episode we talk about the importance of fluidity in routine, creativity in our food, the dangers of all or nothing thinking and how to know when your brain lies to you.

Wait, what?

Yes, the brain likes to lie to us, our job is to figure out when that is happening.

Come get your lie detector on!

Is our lighting in our homes changing our biology?

Should you care?

In this week’s episode, we are talking specifically about blue light wavelength exposure in the evenings can be making changes in your biology. This light has an effect on your hormones, your fascia, neurotransmitters and your nervous system and usually not in a good way if the exposure is after the sun goes down. So what can you do? Well this week we talk about how you can reduce blue light from your mobile screens, block it with blue & green light blocking glasses and use lightbulbs specifically made without those kinds of wavelengths for night time.

Let’s shine a light on it shall we?
