77. Unlock Your Energy: Busting Health Myths & Optimizing Wellness for Moms with Shannon Salge

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm so excited to chat with my amazing friend and fellow mastermind peer, Shannon Salge! Shannon is a women's health guru, and seriously, you guys are going to be blown away by her knowledge. We had the best conversation on a bus ride once where she was just dropping truth bombs about health myths, and I knew I had to bring her on the show.

As moms and entrepreneurs, it's so easy to put our own well-being on the back burner. But Shannon, a women's health guru specializing in metabolism, hormones, and gut health, is here to change that.

Shannon shares her powerful personal journey from being a professional dancer and high-achiever to battling a debilitating autoimmune condition. Her story is a testament to the importance of listening to your body and finding the root cause of health issues, rather than just masking symptoms.

Here's what you'll learn in this eye-opening conversation:

• The common mistakes moms make that deplete their energy and sabotage their health (you might be surprised!).

• Why "hustle" culture and pushing yourself too hard can actually backfire.

• The truth about postpartum health and how to optimize your body for a smoother recovery.

• Simple, actionable tips to boost your energy immediately (hint: it involves water, protein, and sunshine!).

• The power of mineral balancing and blood sugar regulation for overall well-being.

• Why self-care is more than just scrolling on social media (and what to do instead).

• Introducing bioresonance testing: a cutting-edge approach to understanding and balancing your body's energy.

• What it means when someone says "functional freeze".

Plus, Shannon shares exciting news about her upcoming podcast and the new direction of her company!

If you're ready to ditch the exhaustion, reclaim your energy, and feel your absolute best, this episode is a must-listen. Let's break down the myths and empower you to thrive in motherhood, business, and life!
