Dr. Jill Blakeway, Best Selling Author & Functional Medicine Practitioner: Link Between Fertility and Holistic Medicine, Imbalanced Hormones, Insulin Resistance, Counteracting Sugar Cravings, Energy Healing, Reiki, and Meditation
On today's episode I'm chatting with Dr. Jill Blakeway, best-selling author and functional medicine practitioner. She’s the Founder of Yinova Centre in New York and is known as one of the top functional medicine practitioners in the city. She specializes in the field of fertility, so it was really interesting to discuss how functional medicine can be used to address fertility issues. Dr. Jill also talks about the really widespread health issues that are particularly common amongst women like imbalanced hormones and insulin resistance. We discuss Dr. Jill’s new book, Energy Healing in-depth. She traveled around the world, both to Eastern energy healers and to top universities doing research in this field. She was commissioned to write this book for the skeptic, so her findings are very much science-backed and will definitely pique a new interest in energy medicine!

#31 - Meagan Williamson, Pinterest Consultant and Industry Expert: Pinterest 101 for Beginners, Finding Keywords, Tripling Income Using Pinterest, Original Content vs. Re-Pin Ratio, Recycling Old Blog Content and Optimizing Images For Pinterest
On today's episode I'm chatting with Meagan Williamson. Meagan is a Pinterest consultant who’s workshop I attended last year and who helped me quadruple my blog traffic in just a few months. When I did her workshop, Meagan told us about the time she sold an engagement ring on Pinterest and made a ton of commission, a concept that was lost on me, since up until that point, I used Pinterest to plan my dream house. Moral of the story: Pinterest is the most powerful tool that small business owners can have in their arsenal. Pinterest tends to be one of those things that may mystify and confuse you. You may have heard stories about how great it can be, but you never quite understood how. This episode breaks it all down with actionable tips about how you can take your Pinterest game (and business) to the next level.
