Who's in Your Corner?

Who's in Your Corner?

Who's in Your Corner? Trying to navigate your health on your own can feel overwhelming. The good news? You were never meant to. Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they talk about one of the most overlooked parts of living well: building a team of people who can support you along the way. They discuss why asking for help is often harder than offering it, how community plays a vital role in healing, and why finding the right practitioners isn't about chasing the latest trend but surrounding yourself with people who truly listen and care. They also share what their own healthcare teams look like, how those teams have changed through different seasons of life, and why your team doesn't have to look like anyone else's. They also tackle practical questions that many people don't know they can ask. How do you know if a provider is the right fit? Is it okay to get a second opinion? What questions should you ask before starting a treatment or medication? How do you advocate for yourself without feeling difficult? Throughout the conversation, they remind you that your healthcare decisions should be made from a place of knowledge, not fear. If you've ever felt alone in your health journey, unsure where to turn, or overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this episode will remind you that healing isn't something you're meant to do by yourself. The right people in your corner won't just help you get healthier. They'll help you carry the weight so you don't have to do it alone.

Your Hidden Kryptonite

What if one of the biggest threats to your health isn't what you're eating, but what you're breathing, cleaning with, and putting on your skin every day? Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they pull back the curtain on the hidden chemicals found in many everyday household and personal care products. From laundry detergent and candles to makeup, lotions, and cleaning supplies, they discuss how seemingly harmless products can affect your hormones, nervous system, skin, energy levels, and even your mental health. They also explain the idea of "toxic load" and why it's often the small, everyday exposures that add up over time. If you've ever wondered whether clean products are worth the extra cost, felt overwhelmed by all the conflicting information online, or simply wanted to know where to start, you'll find practical, realistic advice without the fear or guilt. They share simple ways to begin making healthier choices, helpful apps for evaluating products, and why you don't have to change everything overnight to make a meaningful difference. Better health isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about paying attention to the things you've overlooked all along.

I'll Sleep When I Die

I'll Sleep When I Die Think getting by on five or six hours of sleep is just part of being an adult? Think again. Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they explore why sleep is one of the most overlooked foundations of physical, mental, and spiritual health. In this episode, the hosts unpack what happens when we consistently sacrifice sleep, why falling asleep and staying asleep are often two different challenges, and how everything from stress and hormones to blood sugar, nighttime routines, and screen time can impact the quality of your rest. They also share practical strategies for building healthier sleep habits and explain why the goal isn't just more sleep, but better sleep. The conversation also explores the deeper purpose of rest. Why did God design us to spend nearly a third of our lives asleep? What if sleep isn't an interruption to productivity, but one of the ways He reminds us that we're not meant to carry the weight of the world on our own? Along the way, the hosts offer encouragement for anyone who struggles with anxious thoughts, restless nights, or the pressure to always keep going. Whether you're running on caffeine, waking up at 3 a.m., or simply wondering why you never seem to feel rested, this episode will challenge the way you think about sleep and equip you with practical steps to help you rest well. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is close your eyes and trust that God will take care of the world while you sleep.

When Did the Hindus Get the Monopoly on Breathing?

Breathing is something you do every moment of every day... so why are so many people talking about how to breathe? Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they explore the surprising connection between breathing and whole-body health. In this episode, the hosts unpack how your breathing affects everything from stress and anxiety to sleep, focus, energy, and physical performance. They discuss why many of us have forgotten how to breathe well, how chronic stress changes our breathing patterns, and why something as simple as slowing your breath can have a powerful impact on your nervous system. They also tackle common misconceptions about breathwork, explaining that you don't have to adopt a particular philosophy or spiritual practice to experience its benefits. Instead, they explore how intentional breathing aligns with the way our bodies were designed to function and how it can become a practical tool for everyday life. Whether you're looking to manage stress, improve your health, or simply understand why breathing has become such a popular topic, this conversation offers a thoughtful, science-backed perspective that anyone can apply. After listening, you may never take your next breath for granted.

You're Going to Stick That Where?

Needles probably aren't your first choice when it comes to improving your health... so why are more and more people turning to acupuncture? Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they explore one of the oldest healing practices in the world and separate fact from fiction. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or convinced acupuncture isn't for you, this conversation takes an honest look at how it works, what it actually feels like, and why it's used to support everything from chronic pain and stress to sleep, digestion, and emotional wellbeing. Along the way, the hosts discuss the body's remarkable ability to heal, how acupuncture complements other approaches to healthcare, and why treating the root cause often matters more than chasing symptoms. If you've ever wondered whether acupuncture is worth trying—or simply wanted to understand why someone would willingly volunteer to be poked with needles—this episode is for you. You might be surprised by what those tiny needles are actually doing.
