SPEAKER_01 1:34

Welcome back to the Fulfilled Practitioner Podcast. Today we're doing our very special Meet Your Health superhero segment. And this segment is all about spotlighting practitioners who are not just creating an impact, but they're doing it with fulfillment, purpose, and authenticity. I've met some of the most brilliant practitioners, and I don't want to keep them best kept secrets much longer. And today is a perfect example. One of my favorite people, Krista, is joining us. Hey Krista, how's everything going?

SPEAKER_00 2:02

Hi, Ricky. Good. I'm very happy to be here. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

Yeah, I'm so excited to do this interview. And uh I know you've been uh someone doing a lot of special work and impacting a lot of lives. So uh I definitely want to make sure that uh people learn about who you are and what type of impact you make. So I'd love for you to start by giving us uh a background who you are, uh, what you do, and what your area of expertise is.

SPEAKER_00 2:26

Well, I'm an integrative health practitioner first, I guess is that what is what I would call myself. Um, although I also have the titles of quantum nutrition practitioner, um, emotion co-practitioner, um, and also an integrative um nutrition coach. So those are kind of my certifications. Um, I also um have the certification of being a public school um educator as well. So I did do a lot of teaching um in my past years. Um I run my own small business called Rewrite Your Story Health and Wellness.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

Amazing. And I I your your uh title is one of my favorite uh like names for for a practice or um a program, uh, write rewrite your own story. That's just like so powerful. And I know it's your last name, so it's like the perfect play as well. But uh I learned so much by doing these interviews. So even though I've known you for some time, I didn't know about the public educator background. So how does one go from public educator and then transitioning into like so many different certifications and ways to help people?

SPEAKER_00 3:29

Yeah, so my basically um my story with um becoming rewrite your story actually started during COVID. Um, so you know, all the teachers got sent home and we had a lot of time on our hands during that time. And um with because of my own health struggles, I've um always been researching and finding holistic practitioners. So um I was kind of bored listening to a lot of podcasts. And one of my friends said, you know what? I think it's time for you to go to school because you love to learn about this, you love to help other people. And she and she said to me, You need to do this. And that's where I started. Um I started going to school during COVID and I um really hardly have stopped. So I retired, I did the my practice part-time in the evenings while I taught once I got it started. Um, and then now I do it full-time.

SPEAKER_01 4:23

And that's such a powerful story for for the listeners because so many people use that period in time, like like the whole world changed after that. And then they changed themselves. And I know that's a pretty big pivot, and I know you've uh helped a lot of people. So you mentioned something there that stood out to me, which is uh a personal story. Was there a personal story that inspired you to go into this world?

SPEAKER_00 4:44

Um, just my own health struggles basically. Um, I basically started many years ago. Um, my own health struggle started July 13th, 1999, when I lost my son to a stillborn accident. Um later on discovered it was all due to thyroid disease. And then thyroid disease kind of ruled my life for quite some time. Um, and then also Lyme disease. So I had found out later on that I had that. Um, just didn't get much help from doctors other than them telling me I was a stressed-out mom, and that just didn't fly. Um, so I just kept searching and doing my own research and being my own health advocate. And and that's where I have gotten into rewriting other people's stories as well. So I rewrote my own and I'm helping others.

SPEAKER_01 5:38

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear. And I again I learned so much from interviewing practitioners. And uh, you're someone who's turned like a very traumatic moment into something that's helping so many people. And like what I always appreciate and love about practitioners is almost all of us, it's it's pretty wild when you start picking people's brains and you start finding this out. Uh, there was a personal journey, we lived it. We were living proof of poor health, of things that were stopping us from living that life we dreamed about. Uh, and a lot of times we couldn't get the answers we were looking for through the conventional channel. So that's so powerful. And now the the name makes so much more sense to me as well. So that is so powerful. So uh I would love to hear uh about the people that you help them rewrite their own story. Who do you love working with? Like who's the the perfect person for you?

SPEAKER_00 6:28

So um, in all honesty, since you know, with my um work as a teacher, you know, my favorite client, I guess, is a mom that that was like me, that you know, lives that super mom life that's stressed out, um, that really needs help and hasn't found any help. Um, so they're my favorite clients. And then usually moms bring in their children. And um, in this day and age, um, our kids really need help with their diet, with the amount of screen time they're on, the toxicity load. Um, so I just love helping the moms and then helping those children too. So that's my favorite client. Now, I'm not telling you I don't work with men, but that's my favorite.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

Oh, absolutely. I know you can help pretty much anyone, but that's that's so beautiful because when you do help a mom out, like that's that's often the center focus of the family. Like that's the glue that keeps everything together, and everyone benefits when you uh help that person. And yeah, and then you get to work with uh the kids and the habits that the mom learns that the kids pick up on, and it's just uh a beautiful thing. And like uh the best part I found about working with younger individuals is just how quick they respond to change because they're still very malleable and uh their their brain is still very plastic, so things can move pretty quickly for them as well. So uh I know today you're on the Fulfilled Practitioner podcast, so it wouldn't be right of me if I didn't ask you this very tough, tough question. And what does being a fulfilled practitioner mean to you?

SPEAKER_00 8:00

I think for me, um, and I I think that I've really worked on this in my life. Um, a lot has changed in the last few years on just my um belief system and confidence and everything. So being fulfilled for me is just being aligned with my purpose and realizing, um, I guess, you know, every day that I wake up, I my goal is to help and serve other people and just being aligned with those people that need me.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

I look for that word often, alignment. And I think it's one of the most powerful words. And the definition varies until you experience it, right? And when you're in alignment, that's when things go uh a lot smoother and a lot easier. And it's it's easy to help co-create results, or I shouldn't say easy, but um it's a lot more aligned. It's it's just more in your wheelhouse and and what you focus on. So that's that's a beautiful definition of what fulfillment means. And uh, I know going from a public educator to now, is there is there like a shift or is there something uh specific that changed in the way you see success?

SPEAKER_00 9:04

Yeah, I would definitely um, you know, I've just I've done a lot of work on myself as well, you know. So within that, I feel I can help my clients more too. But it is more about that alignment and realizing um your thoughts matter, you know, your beliefs matter and just um changing those thoughts and making sure um you're attracting the good energy, I guess is the way I want to say it. Um and that that's just been a big shift in success because when you don't have those limiting beliefs, your everything in your life is so much more successful and more um energetically better.

SPEAKER_01 9:49

Absolutely. And to explore those self-limiting beliefs, it's uh it's often through uh through trial by fire and uh there's a lot of personal growth, and uh oftentimes it takes pain to grow further as well. So uh is there is there a lesson that stands out to you since you you shifted into this world and you've been practicing this way?

SPEAKER_00 10:07

I would just say, you know, to learn anything that life throws at you is to take to learn from it. Um, instead of thinking that it something it was something was a burden or a struggle, but to say, okay, what was the lesson in there? Why did, why did that, you know, why did I have to go through that? And to learn from it and to grow from it.

SPEAKER_01 10:30

And I love that because you can then pass that on to the people that you work with as well. Because I find like when I was on my own personal health journey and the people I've worked with, it's often hard to find meaning in what we're experiencing in that moment. And I know it sounds very cliche to say, oh, I've I'm going through this for some sort of purpose or lesson I'm supposed to learn. And sometimes people have a have a very difficult time making that just uh like distinction. So I would say that's one of the most powerful lessons you can learn. So it looks like you you have like 50 years of experience since you started practicing already.

SPEAKER_00 11:04

Yes. Um, and I guess I choose gratitude. That's another big, big thing every day. Um, I don't start my day without gratitude. Um, and just making a complete list um of everything so that I start that way. Um, and that sounds so simple, but and I don't know, and when I tell people that they look at me like, well, how's that gonna change? You know? But it really does. It starts your day the right way, um, with the right feeling, the right energy. And that's been a huge shift as well.

SPEAKER_01 11:35

So yeah, they call them states for a reason, right? And when you enter that state and you truly embrace that state, it's just a whole different experience. Your perception of your day changes, and little things that might get under your skin uh don't seem to get under your skin as much anymore. So it's one of the most powerful tools that that I would say 99.9% of people are not using, right? Like we can approach life from that lens.

SPEAKER_00 12:00

That that's so simple to start, you know. You don't have to buy anything, you don't you just you know, you get up and you do it.

SPEAKER_01 12:07

So yeah, often uh like a lot of the lifestyle stuff, a lot of it is just you need the knowledge and how to apply it, but some of these things are uh quote unquote experiential, right? You you need to experience them to really get it. So the people that are listening and they know what we're talking about, they know what we're talking about. But then to some people, it might be like, oh, that doesn't look like it's gonna make a big difference. Give me that new cutting edge supplement or something like that. So, no, absolutely. And like I love that you're bringing all of this up because one thing you mentioned at the start of the call was just in terms of the certifications you have and all of the education you've been through, and you continue to just be a sponge and you've been such an amazing student overall, and I see that growth every single day. Like, how has your approach to practice evolved over the years? Uh, how are you blending all of these things together?

SPEAKER_00 12:55

My, you know, I'm a lifelong student. And you know, I I absolutely love to learn. So I I bet you every single day I'm either reading something or researching something. Um, you know, when I have a client with something, I don't just um, you know, I take a lot of time on them. So I guess that's you know how I really I really work on constant learning. That's just a big part of my life. So when I first started, of course, I was going to school um getting the certifications, but I just keep continuing and not necessarily getting another certification, but I just keep continuing the learning, learning from other doctors, you know, whatever research is out there, I just constantly am soaking it up.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

That's amazing. And you sound like you you remind me of myself because I've been in that same like wavelength for a while where I'm like a I'm I kind of take it to some extremes at times too, where it's just like so much learning, right? And and you need to eventually apply it as well. Uh, but is there a secret to you keeping up with all of this education and all of this learning? I I talk to a lot of practitioners who that is actually a big point of overwhelm for practitioners, is all of the continuing education they have to keep up with. And it's not just singular focus. Like when we go to school, we know that, okay, this is science class, or it even divides from there. This is biology, this is physics, this is statistics, this is calculus. But I find when we're talking about practitioners, we have to sometimes switch gears completely because you might be learning something clinical, then you go to learn something from a marketing standpoint, then you go to learn something, especially in today's day and age from a technology standpoint and all of that. Like, is there a secret that you found to avoid the overwhelm and the burnout from all of the education?

SPEAKER_00 14:42

I think that the yes, my brain gets overwhelmed because I I do put a lot too much into it a lot of the time. But I think I just, you know, make sure that I do also self-care because if I allow that to overwhelm, then I'm not walking the talk that I'm telling my clients, right? I'm getting myself stressed out. Um, so I just make sure that I do some self-care for that, be for my the stress or the overwhelm and um get some clarity on what's the most important. Um, and I guess I do that. I do a lot of walking, a lot of hiking. I'm in nature a lot, and that's where all my ideas and clarity comes from. So I make sure uh that's you know, just in my day always.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

And it sounds so simple, but I'm sure that is in some ways it's the most difficult thing for people to do as well. Uh, a mentor of mine, he uh he introduced me to the term white space. So you basically need that white space where like all of these things that we're bombarded with throughout the day, that that just stops a little bit, that the noise kind of quiets down, and then you get the ideas and the creativity. And uh one of my favorite um concepts, uh psychological concept, is the flow state. So I find that a lot of us practitioners, we struggle to find these moments of flow where things are just our brains firing on hyperdrive, things are just moving smoothly, the ideas are coming to us, the energy is there. So I know you touched on a few of those things in terms of the habits that are uh there for you. Are there any, is there a specific kind of morning flow you follow? Is there like a routine day-to-day you follow to stay grounded and clear?

SPEAKER_00 16:18

Yeah, my my routine always is gratitude first when I get up. Um, I usually write it all down. Um, I choose that. I think it it just flows better when you see it in writing and and you feel it, you believe it. Um, and then I go for a walk out in nature. I'm a big trail person, so I love that. Um, and then I start my day in my office. So I just feel like my head is ready, you know, I have clarity. Um, I also like to do the night before, just kind of make my list of things I do need to get done or people I need to contact, just so I have that organization and I start in the morning after my walk, ready to go. So I just try to keep my brain more clear that way.

SPEAKER_01 17:04

So you take care of yourself before taking care of anyone else. So that that's uh it's such a again, simple distinction, but uh simple is complex because uh sometimes people find it really difficult to do that. A lot of the practitioners I've uh had discussions with uh when they were not in a good state, it was often just wake up and go, right? There was like no priming. There, there's nothing that they were focusing on. So it's very, very powerful. A little bit of a question to put you on the spot because again, a lot of practitioners listen, but one of the other big um, I don't want to call it a pain point, but it's just reality. Something practitioners suffer from a lot is there is an energy exchange when you're working with people with health issues. And a lot of times they're coming in needing help and they're usually in a more of a, I don't want to call it a negative state, but more of a state where they're like just in not a good place, that happiness is not there, gratitude's often not there. Is there anything you do to kind of protect yourself from that energy?

SPEAKER_00 18:00

That is a tough one because I am a very empathetic person. So I tend to absorb um energies from people. So um I do have to really protect myself. Um, I do um I, you know, I do a lot of prayer and meditation, you know, to help to release, um, and you know, basically to protect me from that. Um, grounding, um, I, you know, like trees in nature always help me with that. So when I'm out in nature, that's just kind of my my prayer session out there as well. Um, and I I do find um I find that a lot of my clients tend to use me also as a counselor sometimes because of that, um, which is fine. You know, I know they need somebody to listen to. So um I think I just try to talk to them positively and and redirect them on more positive energy when they start to go down the negative um zone. And usually by the end of the conversation, they're all they're usually saying, Well, I just feel so much better when I talk to you. So I feel like I'm trying to just push that energy onto them in a positive way so I don't take their negative, if you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

Yeah, and that's huge. I know a lot of the practitioners listening, especially if they're neuro practitioners, that's a point that they don't recognize. And you need to recognize that because, like, and and this might sound woo-woo to some, but uh I feel like we're energetic beings. So we need to make sure that we maintain our energy. And oftentimes you have to protect your energy to do that as well. So if you're working with Krista, what's going to happen is you're going to get this primed version that has taken care of herself beforehand. So then those uh visits and consultations are going to be really mind-blowing and expanding. Uh, with everything that you've touched on here, like getting into kind of the way that you practice, how do you find yourself kind of blending science, intuition, connection into your work right now?

SPEAKER_00 20:00

So um, you know, like with science and everything, like I told you, I'm always learning, always researching um what's going on. Um, but with my practice, I'm a quantum nutrition practitioner as well. Um so what that means is there's the science of quantum physics obviously comes into that. Um, I do muscle testing, but I'm able to do that through frequency so I can do it remotely. Um, so that's um also kind of you know woo-woo to people. But as you just said, we're all energetically connected. Um, that's the heart of my practice anymore because it's just a main um way I can do root cause. Um, and then I also have um like a biofeedback system I use too. And then just learning the training and science of how that works has been incredible too. So I kind of bring that in. Um connection, I would say I'm very connected to my clients. Um, in all honesty, when I'm out in those woods, I'm praying for my my clients every day, playing praying for success, um, um, and just connection that um they're healing on their health journey. So, does that answer the question a little bit?

SPEAKER_01 21:14

No, absolutely beautifully answered. And uh it shows um all of the things you're doing and the ways you're thinking about helping people in the background. And and that's just the thing that uh I find a lot of the times when we're working on our health, it could have a very singular definition. So some people who are working on their health they're only really avoiding. Eating bad foods or processed foods, right? So it's it's kind of a very singular thing. But when you can help people with multiple modalities at the same time, multiple methods at the same time, I find each of those carries a different probability of success. So I love that you're building it all together, but then it's connected by what you're doing and the intuition that you're bringing into it as well. Now, one of my big things, and I find especially in this new world, that people are more disconnected than they've ever been before. And as someone uh like yourself and myself who have been through personal health journeys, it is the most lonely road often. Uh, there's a lot of darkness there as well. Uh, are you doing anything to build community uh into your practice?

SPEAKER_00 22:14

Um, well, I've just um start, I'm just getting a gut course, like a group online gut course started. Um, so that once you know I launch my um kind of the registration for that and everything and get more people signed up, that'll be a huge deal because it'll have a group community connection with that. Um, it'll have an online QA. And um so I'm hoping that the people that sign up can connect with each other and mainly talk about what's going on with them, but maybe they can connect in other ways as well. So that's one way um um I'm doing group connection or things like that, but I also love to be out in the community and I absolutely love presenting. That's the teacher in me. So um I have been doing a lot of presentations on like health barriers that affect our health. I I do one on children's health, I've been doing it on gut health, um, nervous system. So I absolutely love um going out and presenting and educating people and opening their eyes to things they could do to change their health.

SPEAKER_01 23:22

So wow. Well, once an educator, always an educator.

SPEAKER_00 23:26

Yes, that's so true.

SPEAKER_01 23:29

You're the perfect person for that. So I'm so glad that you're doing that. And also with the gut side of things, uh, I know the gut is this foundational like source of health, but also source of poor health for a lot of people. And when people are going through anything gut-based, I'll be the first to tell you you don't think anyone else is. Like you think you're alone. So the fact that you're going to have a place where people can come and connect with people who are on a similar health journey as them, it really helps because people learn that it's not just them, they're not in it alone. And number two, if if one of them gets a good result, that's proof to you that it's it's a possibility, right? So I find that one of the things that gets beaten out of people, and I'm I'm again just maybe living out a I'm speaking from an old trauma uh in a way is that when I was going through my health issues, it's like you you lose hope, right? Like so that hope is so powerful, and and that's the only thing that can kind of keep us going. So uh I I really love that you're creating a system to build hope in individuals and keep them connected as well. So that's amazing. And I know, like with that, if you just think about it, if if you had said this 20 years ago that you wanted to create um a program where people are connected to each other, uh it would be near impossible. That the technology wasn't there. All of these people would have to meet in person only. So now we have technology to do all that for us. Do you see any trends right now? Are you are you following any trends closely in the the healthcare space or the technology space that you're trying to learn and keep up with?

SPEAKER_00 24:56

Um well, I would say AI, that's a big one. But but AI is extremely helpful in in um a lot of ways. So I'm learning more about that. Um a lot of, you know, like with this group course, um, it was a lot for me to learn technology and and to um, you know, design all the modules and get them all set up in a portal that clients can access. So um technology for me, since I have the school experience of a teacher, it was kind of like, here you go, sink or swim, figure it out. You know, we got a little bit of help, but we were just always given things, and that's kind of where I still am at. I just kind of try to dive in and figure it out and ask for help, or ask Google to help me to figure things out. So I think that's where it's going. Um, and I just think that like a group course or you know, online things like that is what you know the busy people want. They don't have to go anywhere. They can do all that from the comfort of their home and and work on their health that way. Um, and I really think that's where we're headed because there's so much health issues right now. Um, gut is huge, you know, gut issues are huge, but also the nervous system is huge. So I really think that this is where people need to be at.

SPEAKER_01 26:17

I love that. And and like you're you're right on the same wavelength as me, because I find that's the big thing with practitioners, even yourself. If we uh go back a few years here, like the amount of technology you know today and how to leverage that technology and how to create things, like all of that, the old version of you probably didn't think you would ever need, right? Because at that time, a lot of the visits were simply one-on-one and a lot of them were in person. And especially if you're doing things like Reiki, a lot of that I know is in person uh also. So that's the main focus. But I feel so many practitioners are being left behind today because they don't realize this trend is it's moving very, very quickly. And people are valuing things that they can do in the comfort of their own home, things that they don't have to travel 45 minutes in traffic to an office and then wait for you to see them uh for. So the fact that you're setting yourself up for success that way and helping people connect that way, it's so huge. So I love that you're keeping up with it. It's it's uh it's so important. And uh for any of the listeners who are not keeping up with it, the the the landscape has changed. That the shift is here. So it's not even something that's that's minor right now in the background. Like the way that we operate has forever changed, and I think it's gonna change at a very rapid pace coming up. So uh I'm so glad that those systems are in place for you. And I know you're going to impact so many people going forward with that as well. Uh, kind of an interesting one because uh as I've learned more about you today, I always like to ask this question is uh if we could go back and you could speak with your younger self, is there a piece of advice that really has stood out to you that you wish you could just like shake them and yell at them?

SPEAKER_00 27:52

I think um kind of what I you know talked about earlier is that I think about this all the time. I I as it, you know, since I was a teacher, but I always think, gosh, a lot of this should be taught in schools because um learning to trust my own intuition and learning how to um not to get rid of those, release those limiting beliefs and you know, believe in more beliefs that are empowering has completely changed my life. Um so we, you know, in schools we used to teach a mindset piece, but it wasn't this powerful. Um, when I've been on my own discovery in the last few years, it's powerful and it has changed my life. So I honestly I wish I would have known this a long time ago. You know, trust your journey and learn from it. Um, I guess is what I would like to tell my um younger self. And I'm kind of glad I'm not the younger self anymore because I've learned so much.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

Yeah, absolutely. Uh it's it's bittersweet in a way, right? We reflect back and we're like, oh man, that like that version of me, they just they took things the wrong way. They didn't, they didn't think this way. So you definitely want to pass that down. I think that's a powerful lesson to pass down as well, because like to get to that point where you actually recognize what intuition is and and it actually coming up and you seeing evidence of it at play, it just changes the way you think forever. So that's that's very powerful, but it's so difficult to instill in younger individuals. So the earlier you start, the better. Uh, I I know just getting to know you today, I've got to kind of see, okay, the the educator background and then the personal health journey that that shaped the trajectory of your entire life. Like if I were to have run into you as a teenager, let's say, like what type of person were you at that time?

SPEAKER_00 29:37

Oh gosh, as a teenager, I was involved in everything, you know, in in high school. So I was a musical person, you know, in band, um, social kind of person, but I also was the person that um probably where I get my nature, my height, all that. I needed to be out. And I was always with my one of my dogs, loved animals, you know. So um, and then I was also always a very, very artistic person. I used to teach, honestly, that was that's another part of my life. I used to teach private art classes for kids out of my garage. Just because that I I absolutely love seeing people, the joy and people getting creative and doing things too. So that was me. I was always doing something creative.

SPEAKER_01 30:21

Wow. The the fulfilled practitioner picture is like now, like it, like the art pieces are coming together for me, and I can kind of see all those moments in in time, right? And like I think this is a powerful exercise for anybody that's listening to also go through is like like look at those past versions of yourself, like go back all the way to your childhood, go back to those teenage years and just think about what did I like at that time? Like what kind of person was I? And it's so funny because uh now that I've I've had the blessing of uh interviewing many practitioners. One thing I'm learning is that some of the common themes are that that these people were um they they were still very strong learners. They wanted to kind of know everything, they had a beautiful creativity and curiosity about them as well. Uh, they were able to put things together. And then on the other side, I do get my rebels as well that like rebelled against the system and just were um.

SPEAKER_00 31:07

I probably had a little bit of that too.

SPEAKER_01 31:09

I'm sure, I'm sure. That's beautiful, that's beautiful. So, so thank you so much for today. I I hope uh the listeners get uh a better idea of the amazing and beautiful person you are and uh how passionate you are about helping people as well. I'd love to ask you uh what's next for you? What's kind of lighting you up right now?

SPEAKER_00 31:27

So, my what's next is to get my um online gut course really um out there and um launched so people are aware of it. Um and then I I honestly keep getting messages, um, and that sounds kind of funny, but I have written a book, one book with a friend of mine, but I um I have this idea for a second book. So that's definitely um somewhere out there in the future that will happen as I have find the time to do that. Um, but yeah, just just enjoying my clients and and um continuing what I do. So, and I would absolutely love to present more. I absolutely love educating people and um seeing the light bulb go on, like, wow, I didn't realize you know, all these this toxicity is out there, or these things could affect my health or things like that. So that's what I'm hoping for is more opportunities for that as well.

SPEAKER_01 32:22

And and you're somebody who's very passionate, very persistent, consistent, uh, and you have a very strong work ethic. So I have no doubt about that.
