E74: The Mind/Body Connection with Carrie Schell
After a couple of decades as a midwife, Carrie Schell decided she wanted to keep growing in her practice as a primary care provider. She started researching the connection between mental wellness and physical activity. She became a personal trainer, got certified as a yoga instructor, and then took a position at a drug and alcohol treatment center. She had discovered that yoga, meditation, and physical activity were more useful in treating addiction than some traditional methods.
Carrie would later take on a role helping veterans who had experienced trauma. She made a surprising correlation, that just like an addict would shift their moral compass by doing things while in the depths of addiction that they wouldn’t do while sober, service members often had their moral compass shifted while being asked to do or experience things they wouldn’t normally. Carrie is currently working on a moral compass program and book. She hopes to partner with the government to make it free to all service members.
What You Will Learn:
- How a lack of connection leads to addiction.
- What the difference between a gray drinker and an alcoholic is.
- How yoga is a great gateway into fitness.
- What the difference between self-worth and self-esteem is.
- And much, much more!
