“What if you could uncover hidden diseases, optimize your emotional well-being, and lead a healthier, longer life by managing your health like the CEO of a company?” This is the transformative idea Natalie Lefevre, longevity expert, keynote speaker, and travel journalist, shared on A Healthy Point of View podcast, hosted by Sam Tejada, founder of Liquivida®. Through a compelling mix of personal experiences, scientific knowledge, and actionable advice, Natalie redefines the way we think about health.
Be the CEO of Your Health: What Traditional Doctors Won’t Tell You! | Natalie Lefevre | Ep. 29
The CEO Mindset: Taking Charge of Your Health
Natalie advocates for a proactive, data-driven approach to health. She urges individuals to take charge of their well-being by adopting the mindset of a CEO overseeing a business. “You need to know what’s happening under the hood,” she explains, comparing the body to a vehicle that requires regular maintenance.
Routine diagnostic tests like MRIs, heavy metal screening, microbiome analysis, and methylation profiling are the cornerstones of her approach. Traditional healthcare systems often overlook critical details until it’s too late. Reflecting on her father’s sudden passing from stage-four cancer, she highlights the devastating consequences of late diagnoses. “Disease hides very well,” she says. “If you wait until you feel something, it might already be too late.”
Emotional Regulation: The Foundation of Wellness
One of the most striking aspects of Natalie’s philosophy is her emphasis on emotional health as a cornerstone of longevity. Stress, negative thoughts, and unresolved emotions can lead to hormonal imbalances, weaken the immune system, and create a fertile ground for disease. “Cortisol, the stress hormone, can mutate proteins in the body, creating long-term damage,” she explains.
Natalie has adopted practices like meditation, breathwork, and fascia release to regulate her emotions and maintain a calm mind. During her father’s illness, these techniques allowed her to navigate grief with grace and emotional strength. She describes her journey into meditation as a profound turning point: “It’s like training a muscle. Emotional fitness requires the same commitment as physical fitness.”
Techniques like screaming therapy—literally releasing pent-up emotions through vocal expression—also contribute to her emotional toolkit. Emotions are often stored in specific organs, with anger affecting the liver and sadness impacting the lungs. Physically releasing these emotions helps clear the body and mind.
The Hidden Dangers in Your Diet
Even foods considered healthy, like fish and rice, can contain harmful toxins such as mercury and arsenic. Natalie’s own experience with heavy metal toxicity opened her eyes to the importance of testing and informed dietary choices. She now prioritizes organic foods, avoids non-stick cookware, and chooses glass water bottles over plastic.
“Nutrition should be a healing factor, not a source of harm,” she says. She also calls attention to the deceptive labeling in the food industry, particularly in products marketed as organic. By advocating for greater transparency and awareness, Natalie encourages individuals to scrutinize their food sources and make informed decisions.
Personalized Medicine: The Blueprint for the Future
Natalie highlights personalized medicine as the future of healthcare. Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, personalized medicine considers individual factors like genetics, environmental exposures, and lifestyle habits to create a tailored health strategy. Liquivida’s protocols, which integrate advanced diagnostics and global expertise, serve as a model for this approach.
“Your precision blueprint is unique to you,” Natalie says. By understanding the unique interplay of genetics, stress, and environmental factors, individuals can take targeted steps to optimize their health. This method is the key to achieving long-term wellness.
The Power of the Mind in Healing
Natalie emphasizes the mind’s incredible capacity to influence physical health. Guided meditation, energy therapies, and mindfulness exercises can reduce stress, alleviate pain, and promote healing. “The mind can make you sick, but it can also heal you,” she explains, drawing from her experiences with tools like Brain Tap.
Imagine biting into a lemon. Even though you haven’t actually done it, your mouth starts to salivate. That’s the power of thought. This ability to create physiological changes through mental focus is a cornerstone of wellness philosophy.
A Paradigm Shift in Healthcare
Natalie calls for a shift in how society approaches health. She envisions a world where advanced diagnostics, emotional intelligence, and preventive care are prioritized over-reactive treatments. Her father’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the gaps in conventional healthcare and the urgent need for change.
She also critiques systemic issues in the medical industry, such as profit-driven motives that delay or limit necessary treatments. By empowering individuals to take control of their health, Natalie hopes to inspire a movement toward more equitable and effective healthcare practices.
Starting Your Health Journey
For those feeling overwhelmed, Natalie offers simple advice: just start. Whether it’s scheduling a diagnostic test, changing your diet, or incorporating mindfulness practices into your routine, taking that first step is crucial. She emphasizes the importance of testing in key areas:
- Microbiome health
- Heavy metal and toxin levels
- Methylation processes
- Comprehensive blood work
- Genetic and epigenetic factors
“Don’t let analysis paralysis hold you back,” she says. “Even small changes can lead to transformative results.”
