  • Trust Your Gut: Lessons from Lindsey Roy's Health Transformation Part 2

    Trust Your Gut: Lessons from Lindsey Roy's Health Transformation Part 2
    Mar 1 2026
    Lindsey Roy opens up about navigating life-threatening health challenges, including a double lung transplant, and the lessons she learned along the way. She explores the intersection of traditional and alternative medicine, the power of listening to her body, and trusting her inner guidance. Through faith, community support, and a focus on gratitude, Lindsey shares how she became her own advocate and transformed her approach to wellbeing, offering inspiration for anyone facing challenges and seeking balance in life. Key Takeaways: Navigating life-altering health challenges requires trusting your own instincts and advocating for yourself. Combining traditional medicine with alternative therapies can provide a more holistic approach to healing. Listening closely to your body helps identify what supports your wellbeing and what does not. Leaning on friends, family, and community creates a strong support system during difficult times. Faith, gratitude, and moments of stillness can guide important decisions and foster resilience. About Lindsey Roy: Lindsey Roy has twice needed surgery to save her life. The first, a leg amputation after a traumatic boating accident and the second a double lung transplant after being diagnosed with a rare and progressive disease which constricted the blood vessels in her lungs. These experiences, coupled with her natural gifts for speaking and writing, have created a passion in Lindsey to tell her story in the hopes of helping others tackle whatever obstacles life throws at them. She did a TEDx talk in 2017 titled "What Trauma Taught Me About Happiness" which has been viewed by nearly 200,000 people. Her story has been featured in major publications, such as O Magazine, Fast Company, Forbes, and Working Mother. Lindsey's perspective is also honed by her roles as a corporate executive, mother, and wife. She is Senior VP Strategy & Brand at Hallmark, where she is leading various initiatives and groups—many of which draw from the lessons shared in The Gift of Perspective. She has a degree in Journalism & Advertising with a minor in Speech from Kansas State University and serves on many charitable boards, including Ability KC, Steps of Faith, and the Ad Council. Her greatest joy in life is spending time with her family—her husband Aaron and children, Mitchell and Morgan.

  • Bridging the Gap Between Gut and Brain: A Comprehensive Guide to Wellbeing with Dr. Georgia Nab

    Bridging the Gap Between Gut and Brain: A Comprehensive Guide to Wellbeing with Dr. Georgia Nab
    Feb 15 2026
    A thoughtful and educational conversation with Dr. Nab explores tremors, brain health, and the powerful connection between the gut and the nervous system. The discussion reframes symptoms as meaningful signals rather than issues to ignore, unpacking different types of tremors and potential root causes such as nutrient deficiencies, toxins, stress, and gut imbalances. With a functional medicine lens, the episode highlights the importance of early awareness, foundational lifestyle habits, and proactive brain care—showing how small, informed changes can support long-term neurological health and overall vitality. Key Takeaways: Symptoms like tremors are signals from the body, inviting us to look deeper rather than accept them as inevitable. Brain health is closely tied to gut integrity, nutrient status, and the body's ability to manage toxins. Foundational habits—movement, hydration, and whole foods—play a critical role in protecting cognitive health. Stress and nervous system overload can amplify underlying imbalances over time. Proactive testing and early awareness help put the odds in favor of long-term brain resilience and vitality. About Dr. Georgia Nab: Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas. From 2012 through 2017, she joined a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin to provide chiropractic care, nutritional counseling, and educational training to the employees at the company's corporate headquarters. While there, she authored her book called 1 Degree of Change, in addition to numerous other publications. In 2015, she graduated with her Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree. She is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Western States for their masters program. Dr. Nab is a Certified Nutrition Specialist from the Board for Nutrition Specialist and works with Affiliated Monitors, an independent monitoring company for professionals.
