They say you’re a reflection of the five people you hang around with the most, BUT what if you’re a reflection of the environment you’re in the most? 

I’ve long talked about giving patients vacation prescriptions as a catalyst for boosting fertility, invoking calm in the nervous system, and detoxing the body.

This week on the podcast, I’m talking with Dr. Anna Marie Frank about her wellness clinic, Happy Whole You, in Bakersfield, California, and we’re diving into how a weekend trip to dial in your health can be a life-changing experience.

Dr. Anna Marie is a traditional naturopath, so her training is rooted in the foundation of health restoration and rejuvenation.

Her specialty is mental health, and for good reason, as she has quite a history of working through her own struggles using naturopathic medicine.

I tell you this because sometimes you need a vacation for your mental health, and sometimes you just need to change your environment.

Bakersfield, California, doesn’t have the allure of other places in California like Big Sur, yet I can assure you the connectedness of the wellness community there is approachable and much more cost-effective!

Many folks in colder regions of the U.S. escape to the warmth of Palm Springs, California, between November and March, so why not consider a trip to focus on your wellness?

A trip to Happy Whole You starts with a consult with Dr. Anna Marie before embarking on your customized journey with saunas, bodywork, a salt room, a sound lounge, and even an energetic-resetting Biocharger, to name a few of the options to explore during your wellness experience.

What’s even better? Dr. Anna Marie and I already share mutual patients, so we communicate about how I can support patients once they return from their trip.

Dr. Anna Marie is just one of the many friends I have who offer unique wellness experiences, and I’ll be highlighting them more frequently as time goes on.

Wellness travel is one of the most amazing ways to use a change in environment to reset, rejuvenate, or refresh your health.

Check out Episode 621 to learn more about Happy Whole You and what’s out there when it comes to wellness travel.


Here’s to switching up your environment for your health,
