Hormones and the Divine Feminine with Dr. Kayla ClarkeHello and welcome to another episode of Courageously Authentic. My name is Alana Capesky and I am so excited about today’s episode which emanated from my personal curiosity and desire to better understand and deepen the relationship with my divinely feminine self. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Kayla Clarke. Kayla was born in Vancouver, BC and has spent her life amongst the forest, ocean, and mountains. After completing a degree in Behavioral Neuroscience from SFU, she enrolled in the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program which allowed her to answer her calling as a healer, but not within the realm of the dysfunctional western medical system. Dr. Kayla draws from values of connection and balance, and enjoys helping modern humans connect with their health, thrive in their worlds, and execute their purpose. In her practice, she often combines elements of neuroscience, modern medicine and technology with ancient knowledge, tradition, and culture. WOW! This episode and conversation with Kayla really solidified why I started Courageously Authentic. I fundamentally believe that the world cannot heal until we heal ourselves first, and that our external world reflects what’s going on inside of us. From our thoughts and beliefs to our physical environments, relationships, daily habits and more – we are in the driver’s seat.  Love always,AlanaThis Week on Courageously Authentic:Recognizing the differences between western medical practices and those of a Naturopathic DoctorPhases of the menstrual cycle and how they impact your mood, libido, and physical bodyWhy tracking your cycle is importantWhy westernized countries experience more intense PMS, menopause, and hormonal type symptoms in comparison to non-westernized countriesBrassicas!
