Kalee Boisvert: 00:00:33

investment, and create a world where nobody is limited by their

Kalee Boisvert: 00:00:40

equation of living our best lives. So join me as we explore

Kalee Boisvert: 00:00:43

Kalee Boisvert: 00:00:55

Kaylee. And thank you so much for tuning in to this episode of

Kalee Boisvert: 00:00:59

the wealth and wellness Podcast. I'm really excited for today's

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:03

episode, we're joined by a special guest, who very much

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:06

aligns with my views. So I was really excited when I found her

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:10

online and part of her I guess, statement or part of your title

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:17

for your business's health is your true wealth. And that just

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:21

resonated with me so much. So that's exactly you know, what I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:26

want to cover on this podcast, it's wealth is one piece of it I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:30

am always talking about but if we're not healthy and in a good

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:33

place to really enjoy it, and you know, what is the purpose of

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:37

that we need to have the whole package. So our guest today is

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:41

Melissa dealey, she is an integrative health practitioner

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:45

and registered health coach, she's dedicated to helping her

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:48

clients discover the root cause of their health issue and truly

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:51

heal. She uses a two prong approach to first discover your

Kalee Boisvert: 00:01:56

toxic load and lower it. And then to discover your body's

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:00

imbalances and support them with natural supplements and herb so

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:04

the body can come back into balance and heal itself. Melissa

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:22

fellow podcaster. And her podcast is called Don't wait for

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:25

your wake up call. And so yeah, and I would highly suggest to

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:29

check that out too. I was looking through some of your

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:31

episodes and listening to some and you have some really nice

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:33

short ones and which are kind of great little ones to listen to

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:37

quickly for a little tip and then some longer ones. So I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:40

loved it. So Melissa, thank you so much for being here. And I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:43

guess just to get started for listeners, can you maybe tell us

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:46

a little bit more about your journey and what brought you to

Kalee Boisvert: 00:02:48

do this work?

Melissa Deally: 00:02:50

Sure. Thank you very much. And I just want to go

Melissa Deally: 00:02:52

back on one little thing that came out there is it was the

Melissa Deally: 00:02:54

2021 quality care award and USA 22,001. Which I know thanks. So

Melissa Deally: 00:03:02

I'm gonna just correct that one only because it was last year.

Melissa Deally: 00:03:05

And I've been in this line of work now for seven years. So

Melissa Deally: 00:03:09

what led me here will again 100% agree with health as your true

Melissa Deally: 00:03:13

wealth. The other way I say that is that your health is your

Melissa Deally: 00:03:16

greatest asset. But like you with the wealth side, that's

Melissa Deally: 00:03:19

important to me, I actually have a commerce degree. When I went

Melissa Deally: 00:03:22

and got my Commerce degree, never in my wildest dreams was

Melissa Deally: 00:03:25

actually being in a career of health and wellness on my radar.

Melissa Deally: 00:03:29

But life has its twists and turns, right. So seven years

Melissa Deally: 00:03:33

ago, I was let go for my 24 year career in tourism, actually. And

Melissa Deally: 00:03:39

I was given an hour to clear out my desk and not a word of

Melissa Deally: 00:03:42

thanks. And it was when big fish bought little fish. So a lot of

Melissa Deally: 00:03:46

people were being let go. But still, in that moment, after 24

Melissa Deally: 00:03:50

years of service, I knew three things. I was never working for

Melissa Deally: 00:03:54

someone else again. Whatever I did next, how to be more of

Melissa Deally: 00:03:58

service to humanity and the planet. And I had no idea what

Melissa Deally: 00:04:02

it was going to be. But I was open to being guided. And later

Melissa Deally: 00:04:06

that year, I stumbled upon a company in Vancouver BC that

Melissa Deally: 00:04:10

specialized in brain health supplementation. And that was my

Melissa Deally: 00:04:14

first aha I use my brain 24/7 And no one has ever told me that

Melissa Deally: 00:04:19

I can do more to support my brain. And I knew there was near

Melissa Deally: 00:04:23

epidemic levels of Alzheimer's and dementia. And yet this

Melissa Deally: 00:04:27

wasn't being taught. I also had a grandmother over here who was

Melissa Deally: 00:04:32

99 years old at the time, still fully cognitively functioning

Melissa Deally: 00:04:37

and living by herself. And I started thinking well what do I

Melissa Deally: 00:04:41

need to do to get on her path? And that had me thinking about

Melissa Deally: 00:04:45

her life and she was born in little Christchurch, New Zealand

Melissa Deally: 00:04:48

in the bottom corner of the world way before all the toxins

Melissa Deally: 00:04:51

that were introduced into our world since World War Two,

Melissa Deally: 00:04:54

growing all their own food on that property. And then I looked

Melissa Deally: 00:04:57

at my life by comparison well I had the good fortune to be

Melissa Deally: 00:05:01

raised in Tokyo, Japan, except that it was in the 70s, during

Melissa Deally: 00:05:04

the height of manufacturing plants spewing out toxins that

Melissa Deally: 00:05:08

were getting on me. And so I knew right then and there that I

Melissa Deally: 00:05:11

was highly toxic compared to my grandmother, and behind the

Melissa Deally: 00:05:16

eight ball, right, so what more did I need to be doing? Well, I

Melissa Deally: 00:05:21

could do more to look after my brain clearly. So I jumped in

Melissa Deally: 00:05:24

started learning about the brain learning about toxins and the

Melissa Deally: 00:05:27

toxic effect on our body. And four months later, my oldest

Melissa Deally: 00:05:31

daughter got a concussion in her first grade 12 soccer game of

Melissa Deally: 00:05:35

the season. And she had just started using this brain

Melissa Deally: 00:05:39

supplementation. And I started going with her to her

Melissa Deally: 00:05:44

appointments, because I realized she didn't have the cognitive

Melissa Deally: 00:05:48

ability while concussed to go to the appointment, listen to

Melissa Deally: 00:05:51

everything they had to say, and then come home and tell me so

Melissa Deally: 00:05:54

that I could support her on her healing journey. So I started

Melissa Deally: 00:05:58

going with her, also for my own learning, because I wasn't

Melissa Deally: 00:06:01

working full time. Two months later, I'm driving to Vancouver,

Melissa Deally: 00:06:06

and I get a phone call from the high school that my younger

Melissa Deally: 00:06:09

daughter has a suspected concussion from gym class. And

Melissa Deally: 00:06:13

in that moment, I literally looked at his driving right by

Melissa Deally: 00:06:18

the ocean. And I looked out over the horizon kind of up towards

Melissa Deally: 00:06:20

the heavens and said, Really, this is how you show me my path,

Melissa Deally: 00:06:24

stop taking out my children. So now I have two very different

Melissa Deally: 00:06:29

concussions in the house. And concussions aren't easy. They

Melissa Deally: 00:06:32

don't want them. They're suffering. And I'm trying to

Melissa Deally: 00:06:35

support it. It's stressful. But I'm not working full time. So

Melissa Deally: 00:06:39

now I'm going to two sets of appointments for both of the

Melissa Deally: 00:06:41

girls. And then that was the next Aha, what does someone else

Melissa Deally: 00:06:46

do that doesn't have a mom that isn't conveniently working right

Melissa Deally: 00:06:49

now to support their healing journey. And I realized there

Melissa Deally: 00:06:52

was this gap. And around the same time, I was invited to work

Melissa Deally: 00:06:56

at a holistic clinic here in town, because it's a small town,

Melissa Deally: 00:06:58

people knew our story, people were already reaching out to me

Melissa Deally: 00:07:01

and asking for support in the concussions that they had

Melissa Deally: 00:07:04

through work or family or whatever. And I was invited to

Melissa Deally: 00:07:08

work there to support more people recovering from

Melissa Deally: 00:07:11

concussions.

Melissa Deally: 00:07:13

And I wanted to do that it felt like the next step, I truly felt

Melissa Deally: 00:07:16

guided in this work. And yet, I couldn't get insurance because I

Melissa Deally: 00:07:20

didn't have a certification. So ever since I've been let go, I'd

Melissa Deally: 00:07:25

have life coach in the back of my head, but it hadn't landed.

Melissa Deally: 00:07:29

But now I thought, Okay, I have to do this. But I call a friend

Melissa Deally: 00:07:32

who was a life coach and said, How do I, you know, where did

Melissa Deally: 00:07:35

you do your life coaching certification? I should do that.

Melissa Deally: 00:07:38

I know, you did a really good one. What was it? I should do

Melissa Deally: 00:07:41

that? And he said, No, you shouldn't. You don't need to be

Melissa Deally: 00:07:44

a life coach, you need to be a health coach. And I went, what,

Melissa Deally: 00:07:48

what's that? Never heard of it. But boy did that land in that

Melissa Deally: 00:07:53

moment. And I found an amazing health coaching course that

Melissa Deally: 00:07:57

night, literally signed up and started Monday. And I think that

Melissa Deally: 00:08:01

was a Thursday night. And their next intake was starting Monday.

Melissa Deally: 00:08:04

So again, perfect alignment. And I jumped in. And from the moment

Melissa Deally: 00:08:09

of starting that program, I knew I'd found my home, I knew I'd

Melissa Deally: 00:08:13

found my purpose. And I never looked back. I did complete my

Melissa Deally: 00:08:17

life coaching, but I didn't have the same passion for it. And so

Melissa Deally: 00:08:22

from that program, I then learned about integrative health

Melissa Deally: 00:08:25

practitioner organization. And when I saw that I just knew that

Melissa Deally: 00:08:29

was the next step in my journey, because the journey of my

Melissa Deally: 00:08:32

learning is never ending, right. And so I added tools to my

Melissa Deally: 00:08:36

toolbox. And that's where I added the tools of being able to

Melissa Deally: 00:08:39

run functional medicine labs for people to truly see what's going

Melissa Deally: 00:08:42

on inside the body and where those imbalances are. And then

Melissa Deally: 00:08:46

I'm super excited for another program that's going to take me

Melissa Deally: 00:08:48

through NLP, NLP coaching timeline therapy and

Melissa Deally: 00:08:51

hypnotherapy coming up next month. So it is a never ending

Melissa Deally: 00:08:56

journey. But through this process, I've truly found my

Melissa Deally: 00:09:00

passion found my purpose and can help people truly heal because

Melissa Deally: 00:09:06

we have a broken medical system. Today. We have a medical system

Melissa Deally: 00:09:11

that is unfortunately run basically by big pharma and Big

Melissa Deally: 00:09:17

Pharma prioritizes shareholder profit over human health. And so

Melissa Deally: 00:09:22

that's where wealth and health can be at odds. But when people

Melissa Deally: 00:09:26

take their own health and their own wealth into their own hands

Melissa Deally: 00:09:30

and that's when they can work in alignment.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:09:33

Amazing I love that the whole kind of journey

Kalee Boisvert: 00:09:35

and how you're adding more and more tools because there is so

Kalee Boisvert: 00:09:37

many I guess different kind of probably circumstances and

Kalee Boisvert: 00:09:41

things like that with the clients you deal with and sorry

Kalee Boisvert: 00:09:43

to hear about your daughter's I'm assuming they completely

Kalee Boisvert: 00:09:46

like healed well cuz we were talking about them before we got

Kalee Boisvert: 00:09:48

on the recording and sounds like they're doing amazing. So

Melissa Deally: 00:09:50

yeah, so yes, they both fully recovered from

Melissa Deally: 00:09:53

their concussions and yeah, it was one of them recovered in

Melissa Deally: 00:09:57

about four months and the other one it was a full year. Was it

Melissa Deally: 00:10:01

they are both thriving now. And it just goes to show how

Melissa Deally: 00:10:03

different you know, different concussions are different

Melissa Deally: 00:10:06

illnesses are where each individual's and our bodies are

Melissa Deally: 00:10:09

so different. And so one person's healing journey is

Melissa Deally: 00:10:12

different to the next. But having the guidance to support

Melissa Deally: 00:10:15

you through it is what leads to that success.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:18

Yeah, I love that. And I love the work you're

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:20

doing. Cuz I think a lot of us are starting to recognize I hold

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:25

that whole idea of the broken medical system just knowing

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:28

that, yeah, you go in with all these symptoms, and it just

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:32

seems like it's if they can't find you know what it is, like,

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:37

if it's not strikingly obvious, it's just like, okay, that's

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:40

fine, right? Like, if you're having pains or feeling bloated,

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:45

or you know, digestive issues, it's just like, Well, if there's

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:48

not something really obvious or a problem, then you're just

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:51

going to be sort of go back to it and, and deal with that kind

Kalee Boisvert: 00:10:55

of thing.

Melissa Deally: 00:10:56

Yeah, well, I heard a crazy stat the other day

Melissa Deally: 00:10:59

from a pharmacist in the US, actually, who told and she's a

Melissa Deally: 00:11:02

holistic pharmacist, so she actually helps people come off

Melissa Deally: 00:11:04

their medications and use natural healing options, right?

Melissa Deally: 00:11:09

She told me 98% of doctor's visits result in a

Melissa Deally: 00:11:12

pharmaceutical drug prescription 98%, right, at their 15 minute

Melissa Deally: 00:11:18

appointments, or less. And so very often, the doctor doesn't

Melissa Deally: 00:11:21

even have time to begin to understand anything close to the

Melissa Deally: 00:11:26

root cause, right? So they're just looking at the symptoms,

Melissa Deally: 00:11:28

and then the box, and then what pharmaceutical might cover up

Melissa Deally: 00:11:31

those symptoms. But the problem is, is the symptoms are your

Melissa Deally: 00:11:34

body's way of asking you to do something differently. And it

Melissa Deally: 00:11:38

doesn't want to be covered up it wants to be heard. And so what

Melissa Deally: 00:11:42

happens is you start taking that prescription drug, and sure you

Melissa Deally: 00:11:44

might feel better temporarily, but then some more symptoms come

Melissa Deally: 00:11:47

up. And something else is happening. Because your body's

Melissa Deally: 00:11:50

trying to say hey, listen to me, listen to me, I want you to do

Melissa Deally: 00:11:53

something differently. And you go back to the doctor, and now

Melissa Deally: 00:11:55

you get another drug and how many people are on multiple 6789

Melissa Deally: 00:11:59

different medications, because the next symptom comes up and

Melissa Deally: 00:12:03

the next symptom comes up, and none of them are truly healing,

Melissa Deally: 00:12:06

which is what Big Pharma wants. That's how they make money by

Melissa Deally: 00:12:09

keeping us all in a state of chronic illness and needing to

Melissa Deally: 00:12:12

take their drugs every single day. And so our mainstream

Melissa Deally: 00:12:15

medical doctors don't even have access to the same labs that I

Melissa Deally: 00:12:18

have access to on the holistic healing side that show us where

Melissa Deally: 00:12:22

these imbalances are, right. So you mentioned digestive issues.

Melissa Deally: 00:12:26

Well, that's an area that I work with a lot of people on. And I

Melissa Deally: 00:12:30

can run labs that will show if we've got bacterial overgrowth

Melissa Deally: 00:12:34

or yeast overgrowth, mold fungus in the gut, I can teach people

Melissa Deally: 00:12:38

why they have heartburn and indigestion and that they don't

Melissa Deally: 00:12:43

need and acids. And in fact, that's the worst thing they can

Melissa Deally: 00:12:45

be doing. Right? In order to alleviate all of that. And

Melissa Deally: 00:12:50

mainstream medicine doesn't even have access to those labs. And

Melissa Deally: 00:12:53

so that's why they're sending people away, just you know, with

Melissa Deally: 00:12:56

a prescription drug or hope it gets better or telling them

Melissa Deally: 00:13:00

there's nothing wrong with you. And by the time people come to

Melissa Deally: 00:13:03

me, they're frustrated, because they know something's wrong with

Melissa Deally: 00:13:06

them. And I teach people to listen to their body to listen

Melissa Deally: 00:13:11

to those symptoms. And so it really bothers me when somebody

Melissa Deally: 00:13:15

does go to the doctor, because let's face it, the first inkling

Melissa Deally: 00:13:18

they don't just make a doctor's appointment, right. By the time

Melissa Deally: 00:13:21

they actually make the doctor's appointment. It's been going on

Melissa Deally: 00:13:23

for a while.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:13:24

Yeah, yeah, it's usually bad by that point.

Melissa Deally: 00:13:26

Yeah, now they've got up the you know,

Melissa Deally: 00:13:28

okay, I have to do something. So now I'm going to doctor and they

Melissa Deally: 00:13:30

go to the doctor, and the doctor runs labs, and nothing's out of

Melissa Deally: 00:13:33

ordinary or out of the normal range. And then you get told,

Melissa Deally: 00:13:37

Oh, there's nothing wrong with you go home until it gets worse.

Melissa Deally: 00:13:41

Well, that doesn't work. Yeah. And so that's where I end up

Melissa Deally: 00:13:46

working with people. Yes, and helping them understand what is

Melissa Deally: 00:13:50

truly going wrong. And when we know that root cause then we

Melissa Deally: 00:13:53

know exactly what to do about it. And I don't diagnose. labels

Melissa Deally: 00:13:58

don't matter to me. I'm not a doctor. I also don't care. I

Melissa Deally: 00:14:02

literally look for those imbalances, which the lab will

Melissa Deally: 00:14:05

show up. And then we support the deficiencies because those

Melissa Deally: 00:14:08

imbalances are always triggered by either deficiencies, or too

Melissa Deally: 00:14:12

many toxins, too much Candida too much bacteria. So sometimes

Melissa Deally: 00:14:15

we will all the time we also have to remove because there's

Melissa Deally: 00:14:17

always toxins, right? So we remove first, support the

Melissa Deally: 00:14:21

deficiencies. When the body comes back into balance, it will

Melissa Deally: 00:14:25

heal itself. That's what it's designed to do. It can heal a

Melissa Deally: 00:14:28

cut finger, it can heal a broken bone. But some of these other

Melissa Deally: 00:14:31

things going on were to deficient in our key minerals

Melissa Deally: 00:14:35

and vitamins. Because of stress, for sleep, poor nutrition. The

Melissa Deally: 00:14:41

body can't bring itself back into balance. But when we

Melissa Deally: 00:14:44

support it and coming back into that place of balance, then it

Melissa Deally: 00:14:48

can heal itself. And that's what true healing is is when we

Melissa Deally: 00:14:52

create that environment for the body to heal.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:14:55

Yeah, I love it and I liked on your website. You

Kalee Boisvert: 00:14:59

had something great In saying that the public health and our

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:02

school system just doesn't teach us about these topics either

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:05

about like nutrition, about sleep about stress, all these

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:08

very much health related and I agree so much with that. And I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:12

feel the same way. Like I always say that about money and wealth

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:15

and investing, it's we're not learning this. So the same thing

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:17

goes for this is like we can learn, we can use so much more

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:21

education in this. So we can, you know, be our own advocates

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:25

and do what we can on our like for ourselves and heal

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:28

ourselves. And I guess, like you said, there's other interests,

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:31

though, like being protected by you know, people being ill and

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:35

buying, you know, the the big farmers and their products. So

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:38

that's unfortunate, because we could have more of a proactive

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:42

stance on this, then, if we were learning about these things

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:45

along the way, like that would just be amazingly beneficial for

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:48

everyone. I think anyone would want more information on these

Kalee Boisvert: 00:15:51

topics.

Melissa Deally: 00:15:53

I 100% agree with you. And that's why I

Melissa Deally: 00:15:56

created my podcast. And my little mini health hacks that

Melissa Deally: 00:15:58

you mentioned earlier, is trying to give people that empowerment

Melissa Deally: 00:16:03

in their health with actionable steps that they can take today

Melissa Deally: 00:16:07

that will have profound outcomes on their health. Because I know

Melissa Deally: 00:16:12

when I started my health coaching, career and courses, I

Melissa Deally: 00:16:16

didn't know this either. I hadn't been taught it either,

Melissa Deally: 00:16:19

right. And I already had teenage girls at that point. And I just

Melissa Deally: 00:16:23

sat there literally going, why didn't I know this? How come

Melissa Deally: 00:16:27

nobody ever told me this? How come I wasn't told this for so

Melissa Deally: 00:16:31

many things. And then when I knew it, I realized, well, I

Melissa Deally: 00:16:35

want to do better, right? When we know better, we do better.

Melissa Deally: 00:16:38

And so I was starting to make all of these shifts in my own

Melissa Deally: 00:16:41

life towards lowering stress, better sleep, etc, etc. And then

Melissa Deally: 00:16:45

I was like, well, now I can teach this to others. Because if

Melissa Deally: 00:16:48

I don't know what there's probably millions of other

Melissa Deally: 00:16:51

people out there, through no fault of their own, don't know

Melissa Deally: 00:16:54

this. They're all just as busy as I was trying to raise their

Melissa Deally: 00:16:57

family and earn their income. And so that's where my podcast

Melissa Deally: 00:17:01

came from. Right? is paying it forward and putting that

Melissa Deally: 00:17:04

education out there for people because in so many cases, they

Melissa Deally: 00:17:08

really are a little tiny habits that we can change that aren't

Melissa Deally: 00:17:14

difficult to change, we just need to know that we can and we

Melissa Deally: 00:17:18

need to know why. Right? So when I'm working with people on

Melissa Deally: 00:17:22

sleep, for instance, our modern world today has us getting so

Melissa Deally: 00:17:26

much blue light in our eyes, right? Because of screens, TV,

Melissa Deally: 00:17:31

whether it's phone, iPad, whatever. Back in our hunter

Melissa Deally: 00:17:35

gatherer days before electricity, our brain knew to

Melissa Deally: 00:17:38

start producing melatonin at dusk. But we don't have desk

Melissa Deally: 00:17:43

anymore inside our houses because of electricity. And on

Melissa Deally: 00:17:46

top of that, we have blue light, which is the light of noon.

Melissa Deally: 00:17:50

Right? So that does not tell our brain that it's almost time to

Melissa Deally: 00:17:53

get ready for bed and I need to start producing melatonin. So it

Melissa Deally: 00:17:58

doesn't. On top of that melatonin is the inverse hormone

Melissa Deally: 00:18:03

to cortisol. Well, living in a state of chronic stress has us

Melissa Deally: 00:18:06

with tons of cortisol running through our body, right? So when

Melissa Deally: 00:18:08

cortisol is high, melatonin is also low. Is it any wonder that

Melissa Deally: 00:18:13

70 million Americans struggle with sleep. And they don't know

Melissa Deally: 00:18:19

these simple things, right? When we eject when we can look at

Melissa Deally: 00:18:22

what our cortisol levels are, which we can look at through lab

Melissa Deally: 00:18:24

testing. When we understand what screens are doing to our body's

Melissa Deally: 00:18:29

inability to make melatonin, we can start to change our habits.

Melissa Deally: 00:18:35

For every hour that we're on a screen after dusk, it blocks the

Melissa Deally: 00:18:39

body's ability to make melatonin for half an hour. So you come

Melissa Deally: 00:18:43

home and you're on a screen with blue light for three hours

Melissa Deally: 00:18:46

really common, right? Yeah, that's an hour and a half when

Melissa Deally: 00:18:49

you turn it off, that your body isn't even producing melatonin

Melissa Deally: 00:18:52

so that you can have a restorative sleep. But what

Melissa Deally: 00:18:55

happens most people turn it off, brush their teeth, hop into bed,

Melissa Deally: 00:18:59

want to sleep, lie awake, don't understand why. That's one

Melissa Deally: 00:19:03

reason. But when we put together multiple reasons, and people

Melissa Deally: 00:19:06

understand why, then people can start to change their habits.

Melissa Deally: 00:19:10

And it's just the education that's so critical. Yeah.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:19:14

I love that. What else was I gonna say? Oh,

Kalee Boisvert: 00:19:18

are there like ideas for like big, obviously too hot topic of

Kalee Boisvert: 00:19:21

conversation is with COVID. And people getting sick and wanting

Kalee Boisvert: 00:19:25

to avoid getting sick and things like that. So our immune system

Kalee Boisvert: 00:19:29

like ideas for boosting our immune system that you could

Kalee Boisvert: 00:19:32

share?

Melissa Deally: 00:19:33

Yeah, so I've actually done this several times

Melissa Deally: 00:19:35

now as an immune boosting system workshop. Oh, God, that so I

Melissa Deally: 00:19:39

just did it last week, the week before and a couple times in

Melissa Deally: 00:19:41

November, December because yes, that is what's so important. And

Melissa Deally: 00:19:45

yet is our media talking about that? No, they give one option.

Melissa Deally: 00:19:50

I'm all about pro choice. Everybody has to decide what's

Melissa Deally: 00:19:53

right for them. But how can you decide what's right for you if

Melissa Deally: 00:19:56

you don't get the other options? Right Guess who owns media, Big

Melissa Deally: 00:20:02

Pharma that pays for all those ads that tell you like, try that

Melissa Deally: 00:20:05

if you have this, this and this, then you should take this drug.

Melissa Deally: 00:20:09

But don't take it if you have this, this, this, this, this,

Melissa Deally: 00:20:11

this, this, this and this. And I hear those ads. And I'm like,

Melissa Deally: 00:20:14

why would it? And then it says Ask your doctor, like, why would

Melissa Deally: 00:20:16

anybody ask their doctor for this drug, right? But those ads

Melissa Deally: 00:20:22

pay media, right? So then the media tells their story. So yes,

Melissa Deally: 00:20:27

boosting our immune system, one thing through COVID, that is

Melissa Deally: 00:20:31

incredibly powerful, and incredibly inexpensive, is

Melissa Deally: 00:20:35

vitamin D, okay. In Canada, 100% of people are deficient in

Melissa Deally: 00:20:42

vitamin D, if they do not supplement. And that is because

Melissa Deally: 00:20:47

we live so far north, right, we do not get enough hours of

Melissa Deally: 00:20:52

sunlight for enough days of the year on our bare skin. Right, so

Melissa Deally: 00:20:58

we have two supplements, I like the drops, because you can count

Melissa Deally: 00:21:01

out the drops under your tongue instead of the little gel caps.

Melissa Deally: 00:21:04

Because I literally right now I'm taking 8000 iu a day. So

Melissa Deally: 00:21:07

that eight of those little gel caps and they come in a bottle

Melissa Deally: 00:21:10

of what 90, so that's going to last me 12 days or something,

Melissa Deally: 00:21:14

the bottles last me a month or more, right? So you can run

Melissa Deally: 00:21:19

through your mainstream doctor, it's $65. In Canada, I don't

Melissa Deally: 00:21:23

know what it is in the US, but you can get your Vitamin D

Melissa Deally: 00:21:25

tested. optimal level is 50 to 80. I also run these labs for

Melissa Deally: 00:21:31

people. sufficient level is considered 35. And up. Most

Melissa Deally: 00:21:38

people are below that. Here's the thing is back in October of

Melissa Deally: 00:21:43

2020, there was research done directly related to COVID and

Melissa Deally: 00:21:47

vitamin D. And for people that were treated with the normal

Melissa Deally: 00:21:52

treatment, this was done in the US. So the normal treatment 40 I

Melissa Deally: 00:21:57

think it was 42% didn't need to be admitted to ICU. And then

Melissa Deally: 00:22:02

another 40% were admitted to ICU. And then there was another

Melissa Deally: 00:22:09

8% that passed away from ICU. But when they gave them the

Melissa Deally: 00:22:14

regular treatment for COVID Plus vitamin D 98%, did not even need

Melissa Deally: 00:22:22

to be admitted to hospital. Oh my gosh, and 2% ended up in ICU

Melissa Deally: 00:22:30

and nobody died. Wow. And they have a graph that I've seen that

Melissa Deally: 00:22:36

if when your vitamin D level is above 34, your risk of dying

Melissa Deally: 00:22:40

from COVID is like negligible. Oh my gosh, when your vitamin D

Melissa Deally: 00:22:46

level is really low, like below 20, your risk of dying from

Melissa Deally: 00:22:51

COVID is significantly higher. So vitamin D is incredibly

Melissa Deally: 00:22:55

powerful. It helps with bones and chief health, but it helps

Melissa Deally: 00:23:00

with respiratory health is helping boost the immune system.

Melissa Deally: 00:23:03

Right. So for this particular virus, it's very, very powerful.

Melissa Deally: 00:23:07

Yeah. Combine that with some vitamin C, and some zinc. And

Melissa Deally: 00:23:12

you've got a really good strong immune support going on. And so

Melissa Deally: 00:23:18

that's what I do every day. Another one you can throw in

Melissa Deally: 00:23:21

there as quercetin which again, helps with respiratory health.

Melissa Deally: 00:23:26

Again, I'm not a doctor, I can't diagnose I don't know anybody's

Melissa Deally: 00:23:29

health that's listening to this. So this is for educational

Melissa Deally: 00:23:32

purposes only. And if you are on other meds, you need to check at

Melissa Deally: 00:23:35

least with your pharmacists first to make sure that there's

Melissa Deally: 00:23:38

no contraindication with any of those before you start taking

Melissa Deally: 00:23:41

them. But they're all inexpensive, and can really

Melissa Deally: 00:23:46

strengthen your immune system so that your body can fight off the

Melissa Deally: 00:23:50

virus and or bounce back quickly. If you were to get it.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:23:55

Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. And it's just

Kalee Boisvert: 00:23:58

understanding exactly like it would be nice to get information

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:01

of what we can do you know, what is in our control, rather than

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:05

just hearing the stats and how, you know, people are like all

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:09

that there's a lot of fear then and you start wondering, okay,

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:12

what do I do and you isolate and you do all those things. But

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:15

it's nice to know that there's other things that are available

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:19

that we can you can do even more to just help like so if you do

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:23

feel stressed about okay, here are some things I can do. Here

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:26

are some things I can control, and they will make a difference.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:24:30

So that's amazing. I love that and

Melissa Deally: 00:24:34

add in there that that's that fear and that

Melissa Deally: 00:24:36

stress actually weakens your immune system. So one minute of

Melissa Deally: 00:24:42

fear, stress or anger, weaken your immune system for four

Melissa Deally: 00:24:45

hours, but one minute of laughter strengthens it for 24

Melissa Deally: 00:24:49

hours. So the first thing I tell people to do is turn off the

Melissa Deally: 00:24:53

news. It's aiming to make you afraid because your brain is

Melissa Deally: 00:24:58

always looking to keep you safe. Right. And they know that. And

Melissa Deally: 00:25:01

so they deliberately, they add the music and the drama and all

Melissa Deally: 00:25:05

of that, because it sucks your brain in, which is on alert, oh,

Melissa Deally: 00:25:08

I have to pay attention, it could be dangerous, I have to

Melissa Deally: 00:25:10

pay attention and you get sucked in, right? But that then lift or

Melissa Deally: 00:25:15

turns on your whole nervous system and raises your stress

Melissa Deally: 00:25:19

levels way up high. And now you're weakening your immune

Melissa Deally: 00:25:22

system. But if you just turn off the news, and instead read it

Melissa Deally: 00:25:27

online, instead of watching videos, etc, you're only getting

Melissa Deally: 00:25:32

the story through your one sense your eyes, right. And you're not

Melissa Deally: 00:25:36

getting all the sound bombarding you as well. And so it doesn't

Melissa Deally: 00:25:39

feel as scary. And so your nervous system doesn't get as

Melissa Deally: 00:25:42

triggered. And you're not doing as much damage to your immune

Melissa Deally: 00:25:46

system as you are when you're watching the news and having

Melissa Deally: 00:25:49

that run constantly or checking it out on three different

Melissa Deally: 00:25:52

channels to hear the same story over and over again. So it's

Melissa Deally: 00:25:56

funny because I was actually this is years ago, now probably

Melissa Deally: 00:25:59

about 15 years ago, I was at a parent teacher, not a parent

Melissa Deally: 00:26:03

teacher night of pack a parent advisory council night for

Melissa Deally: 00:26:06

parents of my kids elementary school. So that's how long ago

Melissa Deally: 00:26:09

it was there a university now. And we were told there to turn

Melissa Deally: 00:26:14

off the news for all of the stress triggers that it creates

Melissa Deally: 00:26:17

in the household and for young children, etc, etc. And I went

Melissa Deally: 00:26:20

away from that, thinking, well, how will I know what's going on

Melissa Deally: 00:26:23

in the world, I might feel like I'm this really uneducated

Melissa Deally: 00:26:27

person, right? Not being able to have conversations around what's

Melissa Deally: 00:26:29

going on in the world. But I decided to try it anyway. And I

Melissa Deally: 00:26:33

turned off the news. And we used to watch it every night at six

Melissa Deally: 00:26:36

o'clock, we'd have dinner with the news on, we just stopped the

Melissa Deally: 00:26:39

news. And guess what? I still know what's going on in the

Melissa Deally: 00:26:43

world. Right? And even if somebody says something, and I

Melissa Deally: 00:26:46

haven't heard of it, I'm hearing it now they're gonna tell me,

Melissa Deally: 00:26:49

right? Yep. And I can read it, etc, etc. So I don't feel like I

Melissa Deally: 00:26:55

don't know what's going on in the world. I know what's going

Melissa Deally: 00:26:57

on in the world. But I get the information in a way that

Melissa Deally: 00:27:00

doesn't trigger my nervous system, and put me into a state

Melissa Deally: 00:27:05

of chronic stress, which leads to a whole myriad of other

Melissa Deally: 00:27:07

health issues, as well as weakening my immune system.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:27:11

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we could Yeah, we could

Kalee Boisvert: 00:27:14

have a whole episode two on strength, just stress alone, we

Kalee Boisvert: 00:27:16

can have a whole you probably have lots of episodes on yours,

Kalee Boisvert: 00:27:18

though, about that, right? So

Melissa Deally: 00:27:20

I do and my next workshop in March is going to be

Melissa Deally: 00:27:23

on stress actually, because important, it is particularly

Melissa Deally: 00:27:27

important for women to understand how stress is

Melissa Deally: 00:27:29

impacting our body, because stress is actually driving

Melissa Deally: 00:27:33

hormonal imbalances, right. And there's many women out there

Melissa Deally: 00:27:37

that are suffering with PMS, or infertility or menopause. And

Melissa Deally: 00:27:43

taller tolerating that. Thinking that it's part of being a woman

Melissa Deally: 00:27:48

that they have to put up with these symptoms. And, you know,

Melissa Deally: 00:27:52

they talk about it with their friends, and all they have the

Melissa Deally: 00:27:54

symptoms to and then we normalize it. Yeah. Here's the

Melissa Deally: 00:27:57

thing about our human body. It was never designed to cause you

Melissa Deally: 00:28:01

pain, every single month, or on an ongoing basis, or not

Melissa Deally: 00:28:06

procreate, or, you know, take, you know, be painful going

Melissa Deally: 00:28:11

through menopause. Those are all symptoms of imbalances in your

Melissa Deally: 00:28:16

hormones. And those imbalances are triggered by stress, by

Melissa Deally: 00:28:23

toxic load, those are the main two. And we can correct all of

Melissa Deally: 00:28:28

that. So that those symptoms don't have to be tolerated

Melissa Deally: 00:28:32

anymore. And for menopause, women going through menopause

Melissa Deally: 00:28:34

that can take, you know, eight to 10 years. Well, those should

Melissa Deally: 00:28:38

be the eight to 10 best years of your life, right? Not suffering.

Melissa Deally: 00:28:43

And I've been through that myself. My hormones were out of

Melissa Deally: 00:28:47

balance. And that was even before I was in my health

Melissa Deally: 00:28:52

coaching journey, I was struggling with hormonal issues.

Melissa Deally: 00:28:55

And I found a naturopath and I discovered the imbalances

Melissa Deally: 00:28:57

through the very same labs that I run today. Wow. And I was able

Melissa Deally: 00:29:01

to fix them. And that was back when I was getting migraines at

Melissa Deally: 00:29:04

the onset of my cycle every time. And then I was able to fix

Melissa Deally: 00:29:08

that. So the migraines nearly went away. And then I hit

Melissa Deally: 00:29:10

menopause. And they were different. So I went back into

Melissa Deally: 00:29:12

the lab again and found out Oh, different imbalances. So I fixed

Melissa Deally: 00:29:15

it. Right, because I knew I could and it's the same thing as

Melissa Deally: 00:29:19

people just need to know they can these labs are available.

Melissa Deally: 00:29:23

You can choose to run the labs and follow the protocols to

Melissa Deally: 00:29:28

allow your body to be rebalanced as opposed to thinking that you

Melissa Deally: 00:29:32

just have to live with this and you got a shitty lot in life

Melissa Deally: 00:29:35

that your symptoms are so awful. Yeah.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:29:38

Yeah, I love that. So and these are all like

Kalee Boisvert: 00:29:40

labs and if you're working with someone, I'm assuming this is

Kalee Boisvert: 00:29:43

what they can expect that you'll go through this with them.

Melissa Deally: 00:29:47

Absolutely. So beautiful thing is in the day of

Melissa Deally: 00:29:50

an age of COVID is my business is 100% virtual the labs get

Melissa Deally: 00:29:54

mailed to people's homes. You do the labs you've got all the

Melissa Deally: 00:29:57

instructions I give you a you know edition Instructions on

Melissa Deally: 00:30:00

doing the labs, they get mailed off, and then the results come

Melissa Deally: 00:30:04

to me. And then I don't work with people on just one

Melissa Deally: 00:30:07

appointment. Because I've seen that, and it doesn't work.

Melissa Deally: 00:30:10

Here's what the lab says, Now go and do it.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:30:13

Like you're a member, you retain maybe one or

Kalee Boisvert: 00:30:17

two things, and then it's like,

Melissa Deally: 00:30:18

Oh, this isn't? Exactly. So I've seen that I've

Melissa Deally: 00:30:23

seen that even with naturopaths, that, you know, you get the

Melissa Deally: 00:30:25

results. And maybe it's a food sensitivity lab, and it's like,

Melissa Deally: 00:30:28

Oh, my God, it says, I can't eat anything, right. And that's not

Melissa Deally: 00:30:31

at all what it says. But that's what your brain heard, right?

Melissa Deally: 00:30:34

And so then by the time you get home, you've talked yourself out

Melissa Deally: 00:30:36

of it. Yeah, I can't do this, right. Whereas I work with

Melissa Deally: 00:30:38

people over a minimum of four sessions up to 12, depending

Melissa Deally: 00:30:42

what they want, and how many things they have going on

Melissa Deally: 00:30:44

providing meal plans and recipes, etc, if we are changing

Melissa Deally: 00:30:47

the way someone eats, or supporting them through

Melissa Deally: 00:30:49

rebalancing hormones, etc, with different protocols, and then

Melissa Deally: 00:30:53

tweaking them as those hormones come into balance, and then

Melissa Deally: 00:30:56

weaning them off those hormones because guess what, now the

Melissa Deally: 00:30:59

body's back in balance, and it can do it itself. Versus if you

Melissa Deally: 00:31:02

get a hormone replacement therapy treatment from a

Melissa Deally: 00:31:05

mainstream doctor, guess what that does? The body's like, Oh,

Melissa Deally: 00:31:08

I've got enough of that. I don't need to make it. So it just

Melissa Deally: 00:31:10

stops making those hormones. And now what? Oh, you need that

Melissa Deally: 00:31:13

therapy for the rest of your life? Yeah. We want to get the

Melissa Deally: 00:31:17

body back to doing what the body is supposed to do.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:31:20

Absolutely. And you mentioned at the beginning

Kalee Boisvert: 00:31:23

to toxins toxic effect, and you have I guess, like a treat for

Kalee Boisvert: 00:31:27

listeners to what we will include it in the show notes.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:31:30

It's a discover your toxic load quiz. But can you talk then a

Kalee Boisvert: 00:31:35

little bit about toxins? And if someone, I guess, is going

Kalee Boisvert: 00:31:39

through the effects of that, like, how would they know or

Kalee Boisvert: 00:31:41

what are some signs?

Melissa Deally: 00:31:43

So yes, unfortunately, we live in a

Melissa Deally: 00:31:46

toxic world today. Since World War Two 144,000 manmade

Melissa Deally: 00:31:51

chemicals have been introduced into our atmosphere, they're

Melissa Deally: 00:31:54

getting into our body through the food, we eat our waterways,

Melissa Deally: 00:31:57

our airways onto our skin, right? And so many of the

Melissa Deally: 00:32:01

symptoms of a toxic load. And this quiz does go through quite

Melissa Deally: 00:32:06

a few. But some of the really common ones are things that we

Melissa Deally: 00:32:09

typically end up writing off as was aging, its genetics, it

Melissa Deally: 00:32:14

seasonal allergies, thinking we can't do anything about it, and

Melissa Deally: 00:32:18

we just have to accept it. But the reality is, that is

Melissa Deally: 00:32:22

absolutely not the case. So whether it be things like you

Melissa Deally: 00:32:26

know, headaches and mucus and sneezing and nasal drip, etc,

Melissa Deally: 00:32:29

you know, all signs the body's trying to get something out, or

Melissa Deally: 00:32:32

whether it be you know, gas and bloating and digestive issues,

Melissa Deally: 00:32:36

etc. Whether it be poor sleep, whether it be just brain fog,

Melissa Deally: 00:32:42

and poor mental clarity, whether it be aches and pains and muscle

Melissa Deally: 00:32:46

stiffness. All of these are signs of a toxic load. And

Melissa Deally: 00:32:54

because we have so many toxins in our world today, we can't

Melissa Deally: 00:32:57

avoid them. So instead, we have to go okay, there's toxins

Melissa Deally: 00:33:02

around me, what can I do about it, and we need to help our body

Melissa Deally: 00:33:06

get them out, because our liver is just overburdened now by all

Melissa Deally: 00:33:09

of these toxins. And unfortunately, undernourished at

Melissa Deally: 00:33:13

the same time because we've got depleted soil systems. And so

Melissa Deally: 00:33:17

specific nutrients that the liver needs to do its job really

Melissa Deally: 00:33:21

well are no longer in our soils, so they're not in our food, so

Melissa Deally: 00:33:25

they're not getting in our body. So then our liver can't do what

Melissa Deally: 00:33:28

it's supposed to do, which is get the toxins out, because the

Melissa Deally: 00:33:32

nutrients needed for phase two of detoxification aren't there.

Melissa Deally: 00:33:36

So what does it do? It stores them in our fat closets in order

Melissa Deally: 00:33:40

to try and not have them get into our bloodstream. So that's

Melissa Deally: 00:33:44

one reason for weight gain. It's not the only one, but it means

Melissa Deally: 00:33:48

we are toxic. And I take people through a detox program all the

Melissa Deally: 00:33:52

time, and I love hearing their results from wow, I have so much

Melissa Deally: 00:33:58

energy that I I didn't know that. I could have again, right?

Melissa Deally: 00:34:04

I don't need an afternoon nap anymore. I my aches and pains

Melissa Deally: 00:34:07

have gone right. I was on a call recently with a group of people

Melissa Deally: 00:34:10

and one lady's like, Well, I used to have this pain in my

Melissa Deally: 00:34:12

pinky finger and I just had it for years and it's completely

Melissa Deally: 00:34:15

gone. I had a pain in my knee. I had another lady who couldn't

Melissa Deally: 00:34:18

walk barefoot. On her bedroom floor or anywhere in her house.

Melissa Deally: 00:34:23

She had to have these special shoes all the time. And after

Melissa Deally: 00:34:25

doing the detox, she could walk barefoot again. She's like, wow,

Melissa Deally: 00:34:29

I had no idea how inflamed I was right? Because these toxins

Melissa Deally: 00:34:32

build inflammation and cause pain. Just people that say I

Melissa Deally: 00:34:36

can't remember ever feeling this good, right? Because we don't

Melissa Deally: 00:34:40

realize that all of the symptoms they creep up on us slowly. We

Melissa Deally: 00:34:44

ignore them just thinking. It's aging is genetics. It's seasonal

Melissa Deally: 00:34:50

allergies, and we do nothing. Right. Have a saying that the

Melissa Deally: 00:34:55

body when it talks to us. It first whispers The gentle touch

Melissa Deally: 00:35:01

of a feather. And if we don't listen, it might thump us with a

Melissa Deally: 00:35:05

brick. And if we still don't listen, it might walk us with a

Melissa Deally: 00:35:10

wrecking ball. And I like to talk or work with people when

Melissa Deally: 00:35:14

they're at the feather or the brick stage. So we never have to

Melissa Deally: 00:35:17

get to the wrecking ball stage. But every single one of us knows

Melissa Deally: 00:35:21

someone at that wrecking ball stage. And it's so important,

Melissa Deally: 00:35:28

because we now know that 90 to 95% of all disease is triggered

Melissa Deally: 00:35:36

by the environment we create inside our body. Right? Yes, we

Melissa Deally: 00:35:42

have genetics, yes, we might be predisposed to some disease

Melissa Deally: 00:35:47

through those genetics, but that's only five to 10% of the

Melissa Deally: 00:35:50

time, the 90 to 95% of the time is the environment we create

Melissa Deally: 00:35:55

inside our body. So if we create a toxic, inflamed environment

Melissa Deally: 00:35:59

inside our body, that inflammation triggers those

Melissa Deally: 00:36:02

genes to turn on disease. But if we create a clean environment,

Melissa Deally: 00:36:09

as I call it inhospitable to disease, those genes never have

Melissa Deally: 00:36:12

to be turned on. And that's powerful. Because we have the

Melissa Deally: 00:36:18

choice. And in the Western world, we're taught, oh, you

Melissa Deally: 00:36:22

have a shower. And that's enough for good hygiene and good

Melissa Deally: 00:36:25

health. But it's not because we've completely forgotten about

Melissa Deally: 00:36:29

our inner body. And if we look back at tribal cultures, and

Melissa Deally: 00:36:33

longer histories, like Ayurvedic medicine out of India, or

Melissa Deally: 00:36:37

Chinese medicine, you know, these are 5000 6000 year old

Melissa Deally: 00:36:40

practices, they still detox to this day.

Melissa Deally: 00:36:45

And we don't, but we should, because it's life changing.

Melissa Deally: 00:36:50

Right? And to your point that you're talking earlier about,

Melissa Deally: 00:36:54

you know, not being educated, etc, etc, in our health and not

Melissa Deally: 00:36:58

being proactive in our health. Back in ancient China, in

Melissa Deally: 00:37:03

ancient India, their doctors didn't get paid if their

Melissa Deally: 00:37:06

villagers got sick. Because they hadn't done their job. And

Melissa Deally: 00:37:13

today, unfortunately, the doctor won't see you until you're sick

Melissa Deally: 00:37:18

enough. It's completely backwards. Yeah. We can all take

Melissa Deally: 00:37:24

proactive action in our health, we just need to know how, yeah,

Melissa Deally: 00:37:28

don't reach out to me. And you either pay now or pay later

Melissa Deally: 00:37:35

coming back to the wealth thing, right? People think, Oh, I don't

Melissa Deally: 00:37:39

need to pay for my health now. Because I'm healthy. Or, you

Melissa Deally: 00:37:42

know, why would I pay you when I can go to the doctor and that's

Melissa Deally: 00:37:45

free. Right? But if you go that path, and you end up chronically

Melissa Deally: 00:37:50

ill, and the last in Canada, on average, the last 10 years of

Melissa Deally: 00:37:55

someone's life is spent in some kind of nursing home hospital

Melissa Deally: 00:38:01

bed, without any quality of life. What's the cost of that 10

Melissa Deally: 00:38:06

years, not only financially, but emotionally on your family, etc,

Melissa Deally: 00:38:11

etc. Alright, pay now to be empowered in your health, to

Melissa Deally: 00:38:18

live that long, joyful life and have quality life to the end.

Melissa Deally: 00:38:24

And it costs you far less than the other way around. And that's

Melissa Deally: 00:38:29

what I want. My grandmother died at 101. In bed, at home. Yeah.

Melissa Deally: 00:38:38

That's amazing. We're sad. But we were also celebrating this

Melissa Deally: 00:38:41

amazing life. Right? So I'm on her path. And I'll take anybody

Melissa Deally: 00:38:47

with me that wants to join me. Because that's how I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:38:51

want to go. Yeah, that's the path. Exactly.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:38:54

I want to be on that path to exactly. And it's yeah, when

Kalee Boisvert: 00:38:57

you're doing things for your money, same thing. It's like

Kalee Boisvert: 00:38:59

you're doing things now to build it for your future. And then

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:03

it's what are you going to do, though, with all this money?

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:05

When money can't? What if you've gone too far down that way, like

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:08

you said, if it's a chronic illness, and if it's, we haven't

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:11

done the things proactively now, money can maybe can't even

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:15

reverse or fix that. Like there's no amount of money that

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:17

can help you in those scenarios sometimes.

Melissa Deally: 00:39:20

Exactly. I agree. 100%. And so, to your

Melissa Deally: 00:39:24

point, at the very beginning, we're not taught about our

Melissa Deally: 00:39:26

wealth creation, and we're not taught about our health. But,

Melissa Deally: 00:39:31

you know, I encourage anybody who's listening to this, that

Melissa Deally: 00:39:34

it's never too late to get started on both right? Create

Melissa Deally: 00:39:39

the wealth and create the health so you have the health to enjoy

Melissa Deally: 00:39:42

your wealth, and vice

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:44

versa. Absolutely. I love it. You

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:46

couldn't sum it up better than that. I won't even try. So for

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:51

people wanting to get a hold of you getting contact, like I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:55

said, I'll include that quiz. The link for the toxic load

Kalee Boisvert: 00:39:59

quiz, which sounds very interesting. I want to try that.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:40:02

How else can people contact you reach out what's the best way,

Melissa Deally: 00:40:05

they can just go to my website, which is your

Melissa Deally: 00:40:07

guided health journey.com. And there's a book button or contact

Melissa Deally: 00:40:11

me button, the Book button, just books a 15 minute introductory

Melissa Deally: 00:40:14

call so that we can get to know each other. And anybody who does

Melissa Deally: 00:40:17

the quiz, I will also follow up with you inviting you into a

Melissa Deally: 00:40:20

call to discuss the results, so that you can get a deeper

Melissa Deally: 00:40:23

understanding of those results. And next steps. Perfect, I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:40:27

love it. I want to try it seems very valuable.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:40:30

I'm gonna be proactive with my health. This is important. So

Kalee Boisvert: 00:40:33

thank you so much, Melissa, I love this conversation. And it

Kalee Boisvert: 00:40:37

really has, you know, given us a different way of looking at

Kalee Boisvert: 00:40:40

things that it's empowering. Like, it's exciting to know

Kalee Boisvert: 00:40:42

that, oh, I can do this. I don't have to be a doctor, I can take

Kalee Boisvert: 00:40:46

these steps right now myself, and make improvements.

Melissa Deally: 00:40:50

We just gave me full body goosebumps because

Melissa Deally: 00:40:53

you're right. And something that I like to tell people is that

Melissa Deally: 00:40:56

you are actually your own best doctor, you've lived in your

Melissa Deally: 00:41:00

body your whole life, right? You know, when something's off. And

Melissa Deally: 00:41:05

when we slow down enough to just tune in and listen. We very

Melissa Deally: 00:41:11

often know what's going on or that something's going on, and

Melissa Deally: 00:41:15

then seek that answer. And if somebody else tells you there's

Melissa Deally: 00:41:19

nothing wrong with you get a second opinion.

Kalee Boisvert: 00:41:23

Yeah, yeah, cuz it's that intuition to let's

Kalee Boisvert: 00:41:26

build that into ourselves Absolutely, accurately. Well, I

Kalee Boisvert: 00:41:29

love that. Thank you so much, Melissa, for joining us on this
