Holy Detox, Woman

A little detox girl talk with alternative gal Stacie Zimmer, about all-holistic health. We talk mental health, infrared saunas and shoot the sh*t about colon hydrotherapy (think Oprah meets Dr. Oz).

Debbie: So you recently sold your business to consult and have more time to take care of your 4 kids—and we’ll get to that—but first let’s talk holistic health and why you’re a believer.
Stacie (smiling): Sounds good. I believe in providing people with choices to bring about a healthy lifestyle and to help them experience preventative health, rather than just being reactive.

Debbie: What kind of holistic services can people take advantage of?
Stacie (nodding):There’s everything these days from organic facials and massages, nutrition, Ionic Footbaths and infrared saunas, Colon Hydrotherapy, Raindrop Therapy, Iridology and lots more.

Debbie: Wow (deer in lights), most people probably haven’t even heard of most of those things, right? What can you say about inviting women to open their minds to alternative wellness?
Stacie: Well, treatments like colon hydrotherapy may sound a bit awkward, but people are quickly won over by the incredible health results. People are getting the results they haven’t received anywhere else, so it’s made many more opened-minded. I want to give people “hope” for their health.  I’ve been able to accomplish this by the more holistic, nontraditional, more eastern approach.  And results are life changing.

Debbie: I believe in alternative solutions and not just accepting western medicine, which I think is critical, like you said, to give hope to those who’ve hit a wall with their doc or hit a wall with diseases such as cancer, which you also help treat here, right?
Stacie: Yes, preventative as well as existing and often unknown conditions in all areas—from gynecological to oncology to everyday health and wellness.

Debbie: So what is the ONE service women should try?
Stacie: Colon hydrotherapy, it’s a great first step to health. And I often refer clients to our traditional naturopath for an initial health consult and more importantly EFT, emotional freedom technique. I believe you need to deal with the emotions that are affecting your physical health.

Debbie: We’re gonna do an on-camera chat about the colon hydrotherapy, but let’s talk a little about women and taking care of ourselves, juggling all. A topic you know all too well—having two kids of your own and recently becoming guardian of two more children and running your business.
Stacie (amused): Yeah, There’s been a lot going on. And it’s easy to take health for granted. I think it’s important not to take on too many projects and to ask for help when you need it. It’s so important to make time for yourself. Even if it is meditating or praying for five minutes a day. Five minutes feels like an hour to me. We need to set a healthy example for our children. We’re more enjoyable to be around when we have taken care of ourselves. If we’re spent and tapped out, what good are we to our family? This type of viscous cycle has lead to many health crises. It’s about mindset. Ask, ‘How valuable is your health and peace of mind?’ Me? Quality of life is priceless.

Debbie: Very well said. And I admire your prioritizing. Single most life-changing thing women should do in their daily lives to live longer, stronger?
Stacie: Slow down. Focus on creating peace, true peace, in life. When we create this state of mind, everything else just seems to fall into place. We create wellness by taking care of ourselves and making our health a priority!

Debbie: One more thing. I want to point out that there are holistic services for kids too, right? Dr. Koren Barrett treats your daughter.
Stacie: Yes, she is a Defeat Autism Now! doctor. Chelsea, who’s 5, didn’t even speak nor was she toilet trained when she came to live with us last year. Now she’s potty-trained and speaking in complete sentences.  Much success is due to Dr. Barrett, who does so much, it’s hard to explain it all. She helps them with individual nutritional needs to more complicated labs that may need to be done.

Debbie: Now, readers wanting to get in touch with you for holistic advice or referrals, how can they reach you?
Stacie: Well, they can always .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and I’d be happy to help. And as far as Colon Hydrotherapy, I’ve become a big fan of Feel Well 4 Life in Laguna Beach.
