One of my old college friends and founder of Modernally Balanced, Jess Erceg, joins me to talk about her journey of balancing her hormones, mind body health explorations, and living a less toxic life. We discuss how body acceptance comes from a focus on properly nurturing the body through nutrition and disconnecting from the limiting beliefs about “health.” Jess shares the emotions behind her journey and her own awakening through a deepened level of consciousness and detoxification.

“ It’s not that we have to dig up the pain and remember it forever.
We just have to dig it up enough to work through it. ”
Today we are joined by Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Clean Living Consultant, Jess Erceg who created Modernally Balanced out of her own journey of balancing her hormones and embodying a non-toxic lifestyle. We share all about the evolution of body confidence and acceptance down to releasing our own limiting beliefs about the term health and lifelong restrictions we had previously placed on ourselves. Jess divulges so much authenticity in her own stories around binge eating, restrictive lifestyles, and waking up to her own suppressed emotions.
Together we cover the importance of poop as it mirrors what is going on in our own bodies and the importance to tackling the health of your gut and digestive system. Jess vulnerably shares her own history of irregular cycles, taking her health into her own hands, and the complexity of gaining weight in high school, to then completely depleting her body. She shares her radical mindset shift to aligning with the present moment in order to find her greatest self. Without intending to cause overwhelm to anyone listening, we then discuss ways to lower the toxicity in all aspects of life and the common toxins we are unknowingly coming into contact with on a daily basis.
