Heart to Heart with Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Stacey Kargman

Our mission behind the Coaching Coast to Coast podcast has always been to connect with like-hearted leaders, people who lead from a place of compassion, love and a belief in greater possibilities for humanity. In these special Heart to Heart episodes, we take a brief detour to interview health and wellness practitioners who’ve come together to build the FreshLeap Life community – a community that helps empower people to live more balanced, nourishing and joyful lives.  In this episode, Chris speaks with naturopathic doctor, Dr. Stacey Kargman. Stacey shares how vital it is to treat the whole human being, and her holistic approach to medicine, blending naturopathic licensure and traditional Chinese medicine with coaching and hypnosis. She also talks about the vital role of community in longevity and how that led her to being a guide in the FreshLeap Life community. Listen to learn how Stacey uses her Eastern and Western medical lenses to look at the body as a complete system rather than a series of isolated parts.  Learn more about Stacey and the integration of Eastern and Western medicine by registering for her Speaker Series on Tuesday, June 9 at 6:30 pm ET https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/DoN9DMgfQ-S9lbLqeZp_-g [https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/DoN9DMgfQ-S9lbLqeZp_-g]   And get a chance to work with Stacey in her workshop, Tuesday, June 16 @ 6:00pm ET https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/OjFdWIlQSHe9JamrTd7ziw [https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/OjFdWIlQSHe9JamrTd7ziw]   Learn more about Stacey’s practice on:  * Facebook @marylandnaturalhealthcenter  * Instagram @thebaltimorenaturopath  * www.marylandnaturalhealthcenter.com  Click the link to check out the ⁠FreshLeap Life community⁠ [https://freshleaplife.mn.co/landing/] or follow Chris on Instagram & Facebook for the latest updates @freshleapcoach
