"If you want to feel alive and energized and lead people, you've got to do things differently."
In this episode, Heather and Dra. Margarita Ramírez (aka Dr. Maggie) step into a deeply personal conversation about what it means to take ownership of your health, question the beliefs you've inherited about your body, and remain open to possibilities outside the systems and approaches you've always known. Heather shares her own journey navigating the long-term effects of cancer treatment, hormonal changes, fatigue, and the persistent feeling that something in her body was off, leading her to seek a different perspective while living in Mexico. From Heather's experience with placenta injections to the broader conversation around inflammation, metabolism, peptides, and preparing the body for healing, this episode opens the door to a larger question: how good are you willing to let yourself feel?
What to listen for:
☑️ Medical tourism and expanding your healing team beyond traditional medicine
☑️ No longer doing anything that isn't life-enhancing, or that leads to burnout
☑️ Results Heather experienced from getting placenta injections in Mexico
"Listen to your body because if you have any kind of symptoms that you normalize, it's not you. It's something inside of you that needs to change"
☑️ What regenerative medicine is, and how Dr. Maggie started practicing it
☑️ Finding a doctor that knows how to listen to what your body is saying
☑️ The importance of getting different perspectives on health issues
"The placenta is most important for getting nutrition to babies. If you realize that it's responsible for giving growing babies nutrition, imagine what kind of benefits you can get from that."
☑️ Having a proactive, long-game perspective, and looking from varying angles
☑️ The reason placenta healing works more quickly at a cellular level
☑️ Learning how to value your health on a holistic, deep level
