In this episode I interview Renee Wroten, a Holistic Health Coach and wellness strategist. Renee and I discuss all things HORMONES. Specifically, we talk about the things you should avoid that can interfere with proper hormone production. Renee also talks about how she healed her uterine fibroids by changing her diet and lifestyle. Health starts with what we put in our mouths. Renee provides a long list of things everyone should stay away from to protect their hormones from becoming unbalanced. Tune in and learn from the best! Stay tuned at the end for a special gift from Ms. Wroten More About Renee: I’m Coach Renée, your personal online Health and Wellness Strategist and I’m here to help guide you towards living a healthier and happier lifestyle through healthier options: spirituality, physical fitness and overall optimal health and well-being. Renée Wroten is the Founder and CEO of The Academy of Holistic Living. She is a Certified Holistic Health Coach, an Author, Personal Skincare Formulator, Connoisseur and Creative Designer of 20-Minute Healthy Meals and a Smoothie Junkie of tropical fruits and blueberries. She is the go-to Boss when it comes to helping women balance their lives forward to living healthier and happier lifestyles. Ms. Wroten has first-hand experience when it comes to battling a series of multiple personal health challenges that lasted over a decade of her life. In 2005, she was diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids, which are muscular tumors, usually benign that grow inside the wall of the uterus. In her early 40s, in fact, at age 42 is when she had her first experience of a hot flash, something she never wanted to experience. “You never want to experience something without understanding the root cause”, says Wroten, which now explains why she went on a mission to research “how to naturally heal the body without over-the- counter, prescribed medications and surgical procedures without cause. Fast forward, she was hit with a long laundry list of food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances that her body started to reject; namely, wheat/gluten, corn, cruciferous veggies (broccoli and cabbage), citrus fruits, red meat, nuts and seeds. These food sensitivities/intolerances eventually led to intestinal permeability, leaky gut, chronic atopic dermatitis, chronic severe seborrheic dermatitis and adrenal stress, due to delays of underdiagnoses. After numerous bouts of testing and questions, the “all-inclusive” diagnoses received were classified as an autoimmune disease. Later she concluded that autoimmune diseases stemmed from years of battling with uterine fibroids. Finally, the autoimmune diseases started to wreak havoc on her immune system, causing her body to reject beneficial vitamins and minerals that her body was desperately craving, later causing vitamin and mineral deficiencies (mal-nutrients), which caused more health problems for Wroten. And that’s when her research, turned passion for healthy living began, later enrolling in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where she earned a Certification in Holistic Nutrition. During her education at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, she had the pleasure of studying under world-renowned leaders and thinkers; these icons included Joshua Rosenthal, Founder and CEO of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition; Dr. Andrew Weil, an American celebrity doctor who advocates for alternative medicine; Dr. Joel Fuhrman, an American celebrity doctor who advocates a micronutrient-rich diet; Dr. David Katz, the founding director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center; Deepak Chopra, author and alternative medicine advocate; and Dr. Bernie Siegel, writer and retired pediatric surgeon who writes on the relationship between the patient and the healing process, just to name a few. She gives credit to God who has allowed these big thinkers to make a huge impact on her health and well-being. Because of this impact, it has propelled her into conducting further research into healing multiple Uterine Fibroids that plagued her body for 11 plus years. Recognizing the fact that “whole” foods, proper nutrition for her bio- individuality, proper rest and supplementing in the area where deficiencies were visible, leading towards the healing of her autoimmune diseases. Ms. Wroten regularly continues her education and conducts research for alternative methods for optimal well-being to prevent the onset of illness and disease for the well-being of herself and the clients she serves. She is now The Holistic Boss of her healthy lifestyle and that is her unique way of putting her health before anything else and she wants to help you do the same so you can become the Boss of Your Healthy Lifestyle! She’s been educating, mentoring and guiding others to live healthier and happier lifestyles through the Holistic Approach of living.

I’ve always love the human body and understanding it but I was inspired by my grandmother who was a eastern medicine healer to blend both what she taught me with western medicine. I firmly believe that our bodies are designed to heal after I had my first burn out at the age of 22 and my hair fell out. Without a diagnosis but armed with my own understanding of science I Created my own program which is what I share with others today . Learning to live With my own auto immune condition has taught me so much and how to encourage and treat others who might be going through the same. I believe the body has the resources to heal as long as were able to reconnect the brain and body. How long have you been at this career? 20 years! What is your favorite success story? I have so many stories over my career…. One of my clients who have worked with for multiple years Was able to reduce his pain medication by 90% after being in them for almost 15 years and regain his ability to have control over his life and activities. I have another patient where she was in so much pain that the only body part that didn’t hurt was the tip of her middle finger. But after working together she was able to run/walk a long distance race! I’m so grateful to be surrounded by amazing patients every say Do you have a specialty? See above. Mostly I help people reconnect their brain and body is using a blend of neuroscience and eastern medicine. My main focus right now is helping people out of burn out- The physical and mental exhaustion from the pandemic is resulting in people burning out in their health.
