Sharing a full recap of my experience at the Reimagining Health Summit, along with what I learned. My attendance and travel was provided through EquiLife as one of the winners of their 100-day Challenge. You don\u2019t have to be an Integrative Health Practitioner<\/a> to attend \u2013 I\u2019d love to see you at the conference next year!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi friends! How are ya? How was the weekend? Ours was good, but crazy. It was the Pilot\u2019s Change of Command Ceremony (after 3 years as a commander), school auction, and NCL Tea and Fashion Show. It was all a blast but my social battery is in need of a recharge. I\u2019m spending most of the day in my pajamas working, and will escape for a short hike later \u2013 the weather has been a dream!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019re home from our trip and I\u2019ve had a chance to process everything, I can finally share a full recap of the Reimagining Health Summit. It was my first time attending, and it definitely exceeded my high expectations. I also had time to hang out with my business and health bestie, Giselle<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Reimagining Health Summit Recap + what I learned<\/h2>\n

About the RHS and Featured Speakers<\/h3>\n

The Reimagining Health Summit is a conference focused on healthy living and longevity, and is presented by EquiLife<\/a> and the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute<\/a>. The EquiLife products, functional labs, and this company have absolutely changed my life in the best possible way, and becoming certified as an IHP is one of the best things I\u2019ve done for my business, the health of myself, my clients, and our family. I\u2019ve learned so much and have been able to connect with an incredible community of IHPs, while supporting a company that I respect and admire greatly.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a three-day conference, and this year\u2019s was in Orlando, FL.<\/p>\n

Some of the featured speakers:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Dr. Stephen Cabral<\/p>\n

\u2013 Dr. Antonio Jimenez, MD, ND (founder of Hope 4 Cancer in Mexico)<\/p>\n

\u2013 Dr. Sean Drake, breathwork facilitator<\/p>\n

\u2013 Dr. Staci Whitman, Functional Dentist<\/p>\n

\u2013 Roudy Nassif (founder of Vivarays)<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Mind Pump crew!<\/p>\n

\u2013 Angi and Arland (co-founders of Mamoosh and HRD\/\/KLL)<\/p>\n

\u2013 Kate Mills<\/p>\n

and so much more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What I learned:<\/h3>\n

I took a lot of notes during the conference, which could be spread into multiple blog posts (I\u2019ll spare you hah), but here are some of my top takeaways:<\/p>\n

\u2013 How energy is tied to mitochondrial function and a keep component to longevity. If you don\u2019t have energy, you don\u2019t have anything.<\/p>\n

\u2013 How to use methylene blue- I\u2019ve been wanting to try it!<\/p>\n

\u2013 About hydrogen water and how it can increase hydration 6-10x. I got to try it at the summit and LOVED it. I kind of want a Kangen machine now.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Stop 2-3 reps before muscle fatigue. You will get the same results without being too sore to maintain consistency.<\/p>\n

On LIGHT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 1\/3 energy from food, 2\/3 from light. Blue light at night affects insulin sensitvity and can make you crave more sugar and cabrs<\/p>\n

\u2013 Morning sunlight 20 min- cloudy 30 min<\/p>\n

\u2013 Go outside 2 hrs after sunrise to get UVA light \u2013 allows you to make seratonin and dopamine<\/p>\n

\u2013 Wear vivarays harmonizing daytime lenses<\/p>\n

\u2013 Watch the sunset- light is information<\/p>\n

\u2013 Turn off overhead lights at night. Use candles and salt lamps<\/p>\n

\u2013 Wear evening glasses after sunset<\/p>\n

\u2013 1 hour before bed switch to red lenses for sleep<\/p>\n

\u2013 Eyes are rich in mitochondria<\/p>\n

\u2013 Take off your glasses so you can see book (downloaded this!)<\/p>\n

On dental health:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 The mouth is the gut \u2013 the gateway to the body and start of digestive tract<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ask about fillings, root canals, gum disease, periodontal disease with clients<\/p>\n

\u2013 Microbiome and impact on systemic health<\/p>\n

How oral inflammation can contribute to chronic diseases<\/p>\n

\u2013 heart disease<\/p>\n

\u2013 RA and other autoimmune<\/p>\n

\u2013 diabetes<\/p>\n

\u2013 Respiratory diseases<\/p>\n

\u2013 Fertility and pregnancy complications<\/p>\n

We give the bacteria in our mouth to our babies. Focus on nutrition, anti inflammatory foods, foods to avoid, sugar, and processed foods<\/p>\n

Sleep and oral health- airway. How are they sleeping and breathing at night?<\/p>\n

Posture and oral health- posture affects jaw and bite, TMJ, headaches and neck pain related to oral health<\/p>\n

Toxins: how toxins affect oral health, mycotoxins, heavy metals, reducing exposure to toxins. Mold affects nutrient absorption<\/p>\n

Hormonal changes in oral health- gum inflammation, low progesterone can impact collagen<\/p>\n

Brush in morning or 30 min after breakfast and tongue scrape<\/p>\n

Add baking soda to water pick<\/p>\n

Fygg brand, rise well, biocidin (newer one),<\/p>\n

Whitening: Lumiineaux<\/p>\n

Book: Breath by James Nester<\/p>\n

The expo:<\/h3>\n

The expo at RHS was fairly small (especially compared to the behemoth that was the Biohacking Conference), but quality. So many of my favorite products and companys were there, inclduing EquiLife products for days, Therasage, Air Doctor and AquaTru, Kangen, Vivarays, and more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was also a spot for IVs, so Giselle and I got a Meyer\u2019s Cocktail IV with added glutathione (my go-to combo, especially if I\u2019m at conferences, traveling a lot, or feel like I might be fighting something).<\/p>\n

VIP\/Speaker\/Challenge Winner Dinner:<\/h3>\n

During the conference, we also had an opportunity to attend the VIP dinner as challenge winners. This was a small private event, including EquiLife faculty, the conference speakers, and fellow challenge winners. They really went above and beyond with this dinner, with a gorgeous and healthy four-course meal, open bar, presentations, and recognition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Surprising pro: the food!!<\/h3>\n

One of the things that truly blew me away about RHS was the food. I knew that EquiLife and Dr. Cabral put a lot of thought and care into the food that was served, and it was apparent. The food was still festive and fun, while still being nutrient-dense and not greasy at all.<\/p>\n

The cockatil hours had sushi one night with multiple types of sushi and mini poke bowls, and the second night was giant charceuterie spreads, hummus, and veggies. The lunches were protein-dense (salmon and chicken) with lots of veggies, and seasoned potatoes, soups, and gluten-free and vegan dessert options.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They had bars set up around the venue during the cocktail hours, which had a signature mocktail each day.<\/p>\n

The menu was extremely thoughtful and it was one of the only times I\u2019ve been to a conference and was able to eat food that I love and makes me feel good the entire time.<\/p>\n

RHS outfits:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had some questions on IG<\/a> about my outfits for RHS so I figured I\u2019d link them here!<\/p>\n

This bodysuit<\/a><\/p>\n

HM skirt<\/a><\/p>\n

Dolce Vita flats<\/a><\/p>\n

Nude heels<\/a><\/p>\n

White sneakers<\/a><\/p>\n

Cardigan<\/a><\/p>\n

This BOSS dress<\/a><\/p>\n

Veronica Beard blazer<\/a><\/p>\n

Veronice Beard shirtdress<\/a><\/p>\n

We headed straight to the cruise from the Summit so I had two pack for two trips in a row. I kept all of our Orlando stuff in one suitcase and our cruise stuff in another; it worked out well!<\/p>\n

Meeting Dr. Cabral in real life:<\/h3>\n

One of the highlights of the trip was the ability to meet Dr. Cabral in real life. It\u2019s funny because he was a podcast guest a couple of years ago, and at the time, I didn\u2019t know that much about him. (I did some very basic research before the episode, mostly winging it but figured we\u2019d have a good conversation.) As soon as the episode ended, I knew I wanted to learn as much as possible from him. He\u2019s the real deal and genuinely wants to help as many people as possible. I\u2019m grateful that he\u2019s been my mentor for the past couple of years, and it was amazing to finally meet him in person.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was also able to meet so many of my IHP colleagues (fellow board members and CPC friends), and EquiLife<\/a> mentors, in person. It\u2019s an environment where everyone is helping each other grow; it\u2019s pretty exciting and refreshing. I can\u2019t wait to see what EquiLife continues to do in the next few years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be an Integrative Health Practitioner to attend, but I will say that it\u2019s the best certification I\u2019ve done (I\u2019ve done Level 1, Level 2, and am working through HPH now). You don\u2019t have to currently work in the health and wellness industry to become certified. If you\u2019re interested in learning more, my referral link is here<\/a> and FITNESSISTA will get you up to $250 off levels 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

How often do you travel for work? What\u2019s an event that you look forward to each year?<\/p>\n
