In episode 16, Dr. K is joined with Dr. Eileen O'Grady to discuss her new release book entitled "Choosing Wellness: Unconventional Wisdom For the Overwhelmed, the Discouraged, the Addicted, the Fearful, or Stuck. 
Eileen O'Grady is a board certified nurse practitioner, certified wellness coach, an author and the CEO and founder of The School of Wellness which offers workshops and retreats designed to give hands on experience with tools that build the motivation and resilience you need to flourish.
Eileen transparently and authentically shares her own life story about choosing wellness and that of her clients. Choosing wellness reaches far beyond our physical health but extends to our emotional, spiritual, mental, social, intellectual, financial and environmental needs. Choosing wellness is about releasing what is no longer serving us in mind, body and spirit and committing to practices of self-care. Eileen expresses the importance of taking time to replenish your mind, body and spirit, through actionable day to day steps such as through meditation, mindfulness and conscious awareness. Self-care is not being selfish… it’s self preservation.
Change is never easy and with all of the misleading health information out there about how to best care for our health, making the right lifestyle and health adjustments can be sometimes stressful and confusing. That’s why it’s so important for us to do whatever it takes to be a warrior for our own health… so that we can be well informed about what’s best for our own holistic healing and how to best prevent illness and dis-ease.
Eileen talks about what you can do to begin reaching your own level of optimal health based on your own personal needs.
