PREVIEW: Ask Me Anything with Jill Blakeway

Most of us are trying to get healthier, but we're kind of guessing at which habits actually matter for our bodies. What if you could measure how your body is aging and know exactly what to focus on next? That's what true diagnostic does. They test your biological age and key health markers like vitamins, nutrients, and inflammation. Then give you a clear 90-day plan based on what your body needs without the guesswork. I just took my second true diagnostic test. It was incredibly simple. A quick finger prick at home dropped it in the prepaid envelope and that's it. Now I'm eagerly awaiting my results to come in the next two to four weeks to see updates on my biological age, inflammation levels, and whether the supplements I'm taking are actually doing what I think they are. True diagnostic offers a true age test, true health test, or combo kit. The process is simple. Order online and the kit ships right to your door. Do a quick, simple finger prick at home, then drop it into the prepaid return package, and your only job is to follow the three most important actions you can take for 90 days. Then retest to see the progress. True diagnostics is trusted by top longevity clinics and health professionals, not just consumers at home.

Today we welcome back Jill Blakeaway, the acupuncturist and energy healer featured in episodes eight and nine of the TLEP THE TAEP Jill is excited to answer all the questions you submitted to her about her work and acupuncture and Chinese medicine and so much more. Thank you so much to the backstage past listeners for writing in and thank you to Jill for taking the time to answer each of your questions with so much thoughtfulness and gratitude. Here's Jill. Hi I'm Jill Blakeaway. I'm an acupuncturist and author and I was featured in the energy medicine episodes of the TLEP THE TAEP and I know people had a lot of questions and I'm really happy to answer them so we're going to take this time to answer some of the things that came up for you when you listen to those episodes. So our first question is Hi Jill. Thank you for being on the podcast. What daily practice would you recommend for each of us to stay in coherence to promote our own health and healing? Daily practices. I don't have many. I adhere to that no dogma have fun kind of way of seeing this so I don't have a very rigid thing at all. What I do is before I start clinic I get into a flow and I start by saying yes to the day saying yes to anything in the day that is going to be a curve ball. Yes yes yes there will be curve balls. I get a yes to my cup of coffee, a yes to the dogs my husband and the and then I carry that yes with me that kind of openness with me into the clinic and then before I start work I ground myself I very much feel my feet on the floor sometimes I even imagine putting a great big anchor chain down into the center of the earth I get myself very in my body and then I after that I just do my thing and have fun and I don't overthink it so I don't I don't think this as as complicated as people think it is I think this is our birthright I think we can all heal each other I think that's what you know when if you're a mum you'll remember your little one falling over scraping many and you kiss their knee and they're instantly much better they stop crying that's the form of energy medicine I think it's not a it's not very complicated one we could all do it but it is a form of energy medicine it's a prompt to self-healing and it may well be placebo but as I said in the episode placebo is also a form of energy medicine it's a prompt to coherence and so I don't overthink it this person says in looking at the reviews of Jill's book there are a number of reports of her citing scientific studies that have been devolved a few examples the EEG twin study where separated twins could have their brain waves altered simultaneously when only one was exposed to a stimuli proving that there's a invisible unifying energy between twins that transcends space and time only two out of 13 groups had this effect and even the scientist writing the study concluded the results should not be taken as conclusive evidence of anything the pair institute showing people with positive attitude or intentions could have a very small effect on the outcome of what is essentially a coin flipping computer look up parents' institute on Wikipedia and find that all of their studies have been heavily criticized for bad practices lack of documentation and results that could not be reproduced by other labs I want to take her seriously that can she respond to any of the responses to her claims thank you well thank you actually very good question and I think it's very important to be skeptical in fact a sort of open skepticism is a very important thing to hear the rest of the AMA and to get ask me anything episodes through the rest of the season from me and other special guests from season two subscribe to our backstage pass you can find it on our website that's love at the tapes.com
