For many people, perfectionism is a response to trauma. It's not
that you just want to do everything perfectly. So, when you are a
perfectionist, you have this constant inner voice telling you,
'That's not good enough. You need to do it again.' It's a defense
mechanism that we create which can lead to a negative mindset and
inner voice that's a constant critic. That can then override these
beautiful emotions like joy and love. Your heart resonates so many
positive emotions but trauma can really override that in the inner
critic. - Dr. Wendy Myers

PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks
Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only
beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef
and organic spices that are naturally fermented.
Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the
market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one
of the top snacks of the year.
The reason is that they are committed to making the highest
quality, clean products that are free from problematic
ingredients.
Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on
natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As
a result they are healthy and happy.
Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to
live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of
sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising
turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein
with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s.
Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally
raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually
meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access
to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have
access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight.
Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to
outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects
for them to nibble on.

Power Quotes From The Show
Over 65% of Health Issues Caused by Emotional Trauma
"In my research, I found that emotional trauma causes over 65%
of physical health issues. It's really a bigger issue than I
expected for both little 't' and big 'T' trauma. There will be
people with extreme cases such as PTSD but what's more common is
childhood attachment trauma or developmental trauma because of an
abusive or neglecting parent. This creates a cycle of stress in the
body and a person can then develop a high-stress set point where
they can be more sensitive to a stressor than the next person and
it causes this cascade of stress hormones that can lead to this
whole biological domino effect in the gut and brain." - Dr.
Wendy Myers
The Genesis of Self-Hatred
"The genesis of self-hatred comes from how you were treated as a
child by your primary caregivers. The reason why you can't talk or
intellectualize away these negative feelings about yourself or your
parents as an adult is because many of these abusive or neglectful
situations happened before you were even able to intellectualize or
verbalize them. As a child, you were not even consciously aware of
what was happening and that is why talking about them doesn't
really work. A lot of people aren't even aware that they still have
these issues and you don't have to know what happened to you or
what your negative emotions are to tune them out of your energy
field." - Dr. Wendy Myers
How Different Enneagram Personality Types Respond to
Trauma
"So many of us have this negative inner voice that can creep in
and in the Emotional Detox program, we explore the different
enneagram personality types that people have and how this changes
their response to trauma. Based on the trauma that you have, your
different personality trait(s) might be expressed. Some such as
Type 1 or Type 3 might become perfectionists in response to
trauma." - Dr. Wendy Myers
She is passionate about educating the public on the importance
of long term detoxing considering our toxic world. She healed her
own health issues through hair mineral analysis and developed a
unique detox and supplement program. Wendy wants to help others do
the same.
Wendy’s interest in nutrition began with the death of her father
from esophageal cancer. Intuitively, she knew his chemo, radiation,
and ten medications killed him prematurely. She vowed to find out
what made him sick, why he died, what role medications played in
his demise, and how she could avoid the same fate. The more Wendy
learned, the more she realized that all the answers to health do
not lie in our medical system. Food, detoxification and natural
healing modalities must be used to compliment the advances in
modern medicine.
