Episode Summary

This episode is a thoughtful, grounding conversation with Eleanor Evans Medina, founder of the Makaranda Method – a mind-body approach that helps people understand anxiety through awareness rather than force.

Eleanor explains how anxiety often shows up in the body before we can name it in our thoughts, and why working only at the mindset level can sometimes feel incomplete. Her work focuses on reconnecting with the body, slowing down, and learning how to feel safe and supported from the inside out.

This conversation also introduces The Genetic Detox Protocol – a new offering I created in partnership with Eleanor.

Here’s how it works: You run a detox genetics panel (the same test I ran) that reveals which of your detox pathways are genetically slow, why certain supplements haven’t worked for you, and what your body actually needs. Think of it like getting the manual for YOUR specific body instead of following someone else’s generic protocol.

Then you get a 60-minute call with me where I walk you through your results, explain what it all means in plain English, and create your personalized detox plan – one you can use for the rest of your life every time you’re choosing supplements or protocols.

And you get a 60-minute session with Eleanor for nervous system and somatic support. Because when your body clears toxins, emotions rise. Old patterns surface. Your nervous system gets activated. Without support for that piece, most people quit. The Genetic Detox Protocol gives you both: your personalized genetic roadmap AND the emotional tools to actually finish.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in stress patterns, this episode offers a compassionate and accessible place to begin.
