Ep. 004 - Bio-Individividuality: A Freedom You've Never Known

Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast

Bioindividuality is the recognition that each of us is unique, with our distinct genetic composition, biological needs, preferences, and responses to various aspects such as lifestyle choices, diet, exercise, sleep, stress management – interpersonal relationships - mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, geographical location, our gut microbiome, our socio-economic status - - - it spans virtually every area of our unique lives as we consider all of the unique inputs and our unique responses to each.

It's a lot to consider, but it’s liberating. Once embraced, bio-individuality is the understanding, acceptance, and embodiment of the truth that there is no “one-size-fits-all” cookie–cutter approach to health and well-being.

Points of Consideration/Questions (for everything!)

What's going well? What's not?

How does it impact my energy? Is it draining or energizing?

Does this increase or decrease stress?

What am I proud of?

What do I need more of? Less of?

How am I feeling about that?

What brings me the most joy?

What seems to come naturally?

Do I still need some healing in that area?

Why do I avoid that?

How satisfied am I with my performance on that?

Is something too time consuming?

What's the ROI on that?

What feels unsettled?

Where and when do I feel welcome? Appreciated? Loved? Encouraged?

What should I be doing? What should I stop doing?

Where am I seeing patterns?

Why does that prompt negative self-talk?

Who is getting the best of me? Worst of me?

Why does that subject draw anxiety?

When do I feel most inspired?

...now replace the "what" with "WHO" in these.
