141: What Is Quantum Biology and Why Does It Change Everything About How You Heal | Dr. Catherine Clinton
2w ago00:46:50Tap to summarizeWhat if the reason you are still struggling with your health has nothing to do with what you are eating and everything to do with the invisible forces your body is swimming in every single day?In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie sits down with Dr. Catherine Clinton, a licensed naturopathic physician and founder of the Quantum Biology Health Institute, to explore one of the most fascinating and underutilized frameworks in modern health. Quantum biology.Dr. Clinton was not always the expert in the room. She came to this work because she got sick. In her second year of naturopathic medical school, her nervous system buckled under the pressure, and she was diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease, and a cascade of GI infections. Conventional tools helped her function. Quantum biology helped her actually heal.In this conversation, Lizzie and Dr. Clinton break down what quantum biology actually is, why your mitochondria are the key to almost every modern disease, how light, water, sound, and the earth beneath your feet are sending real biological signals to your cells, and why the outdoors is not a nice-to-have but a genuine prescription for healing.This is the episode for the woman who has tried everything and still does not feel well.

Apr 700:52:30Tap to summarizeWhat happens when the life you built no longer feels like the life you’re meant to live?In this episode, Lizzie sits down with Elizabeth Miller to share a story that is as confronting as it is freeing. From the outside, Elizabeth had everything, a thriving business, a family, a respected place in her Amish community. But internally, something didn’t feel right.That quiet knowing became impossible to ignore.What followed was a decision that would cost her nearly everything, her business, her home, her community, and her sense of identity. Because when Elizabeth chose to follow truth over approval, she was given an ultimatum. Stay and conform, or leave and lose it all.This conversation is about more than leaving a community. It’s about what it means to actually listen to yourself, to trust what you feel before you can explain it, and to choose a life that aligns, even when it comes with loss, fear, and uncertainty.Because sometimes the hardest decision is also the most honest one.In this episode, you’ll learn:What life inside the Amish community really looked like beyond the surfaceThe internal “knowing” that something wasn’t right, even when everything looked perfectHow early experiences of feeling unwanted shaped identity and decisions later in lifeWhy success on the outside doesn’t always equal alignment on the insideThe turning point that led Elizabeth to question everythingWhat happened when she began speaking up and living differentlyThe ultimatum that forced her to choose between staying or leavingWhat it actually looks like to lose your business, home, and community overnightThe emotional weight of being misunderstood, rejected, and labeled as “wrong”Why most people don’t leave environments that no longer alignThe difference between living for approval vs living in truthHow to start reconnecting with who you are underneath roles and expectationsWe talk about:00:00 How Elizabeth and Lizzie connected01:30 Life inside the Amish community and early identity03:00 Feeling like something wasn’t right despite “having it all”05:00 Childhood experiences and the need to feel wanted07:30 The internal shift that started everything10:00 Faith, searching, and the desire for something deeper14:00 The moment everything began to change18:00 Speaking up and becoming “different” in the community22:00 The ultimatum, stay and conform or leave everything24:00 Losing their business, home, employees, and stability26:00 Living in a camper with four kids and starting over28:00 The tension in marriage and “can you just stop talking about it?”32:00 Being misunderstood and labeled as needing help36:00 Family dynamics and navigating rejection40:00 Why most people stay even when they know something is off44:00 Fear, identity, and breaking away from expectation48:00 Who are you without your titles, roles, or labels?50:00 The question that changes everything, what are you afraid of?Connect with ElizabethFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.paige.miller.2025/ Website: https://www.benspretzels.com/ Connect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzieens_wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lizzieenswellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizzieh_wellness Website: https://undietyou.com/ #LeavingTheAmish #FindYourVoice #PersonalFreedom

Mar 1700:22:46Tap to summarizeWhat if the symptoms you have been chasing for years are actually coming from your gut?In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens breaks down one of the most powerful functional health tools available today, the GI Map test. This advanced stool test provides a detailed snapshot of what is actually happening inside your digestive system, including bacteria, parasites, yeast, inflammation markers, and how well your gut is functioning overall.Many people struggle with symptoms like bloating, fatigue, hormone imbalance, brain fog, skin issues, anxiety, and stubborn weight changes without realizing that the root cause may be living inside the gut microbiome.Lizzie walks through what the GI Map test measures, why conventional testing often misses gut imbalances, and how this type of functional testing helps uncover the deeper drivers behind chronic symptoms.Instead of guessing or masking symptoms, GI Map testing allows practitioners to see the full landscape of the gut ecosystem. From beneficial bacteria to harmful pathogens, the results provide a roadmap for restoring balance and improving overall health.If you have ever wondered whether parasites, bacterial overgrowth, inflammation, or digestive dysfunction could be contributing to how you feel, this episode offers a clear and practical explanation of how gut testing works and why it can be a game changer for long term healing.Your gut influences everything from metabolism and hormones to immunity and mood.
