Introduction

In this compelling episode of The Living Your Legacy Podcast, host Rudy Mawer engages in an enlightening conversation with Carrie Drinkwine, a pioneer in holistic wellness and the founder of the Institute of Regenerative Health. Carrie shares her remarkable journey of overcoming severe autoimmune diseases without relying on traditional pharmaceuticals and delves into the transformative world of regenerative health.

Carrie’s Health Journey

Carrie begins by recounting her personal battle with multiple autoimmune conditions. At 30 years old, she was diagnosed with early-onset lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, fibromyalgia, and experienced unexplained infertility.

[00:00] A: "I was diagnosed with early onset lupus, Hashimoto and fibromyalgia, as well as unexplained infertility when I was 30 years old."

The shock of these diagnoses, especially being a mother of two and previously having children, propelled Carrie into a journey of self-healing and exploration of alternative health modalities.

Challenges with Traditional Medicine

Carrie highlights the limitations of conventional Western medicine in addressing chronic illnesses. She expresses frustration with how traditional healthcare often focuses on managing symptoms rather than curing the root causes of diseases.

[04:11] B: "We're studying disease models. We're not studying wellness. So doctors aren't educated on how to keep the body well; they're educated on how to treat symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs."

Carrie details her experiences with endocrinologists, rheumatologists, and functional medicine doctors, noting that it wasn't until she discovered regenerative detox that she could naturally reverse her conditions.

[03:07] A: "I studied with endocrinologists, rheumatologists, hormone specialists, functional medicine doctors, and it really wasn't until I found the work of regenerative detox that I was able to reverse every single condition naturally and in a very short period of time."

The Power of Regenerative Health

Regenerative health, as defined by Carrie, is about addressing and reversing the root causes of health issues rather than merely alleviating symptoms. She contrasts this approach with traditional methods that often rely on medication to manage diseases.

[15:05] A: "Regenerative health is really getting to the root cause of a problem and reversing at the source instead of taking a supplement or putting on a band-aid."

Carrie provides examples, such as improving digestion by addressing why the body isn't producing enough enzymes instead of just taking supplements to manage digestive issues.

Innovative Healing Methods

Carrie shares some of the unconventional and intensive detox methods she employed to heal her body, emphasizing her impatience for quick results.

[06:42] A: "I did some of the craziest detoxes for six months."

One notable method was her 40-day regimen of red grape juice and lime, rich in resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that aids in cellular detoxification.

[06:46] A: "I ate 100% red grapes and then did a 40-day red grape juice and lime."

Building the Institute of Regenerative Health

Following her personal healing journey, Carrie founded the Institute of Regenerative Health, aiming to educate and empower others to achieve health and wealth sovereignty. The Institute offers comprehensive training and certification for practitioners globally, enabling them to build scalable health businesses.

[10:09] A: "Now I own the Institute of Regenerative Health... I train and certify people that want to become regenerative health practitioners."

Carrie discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed the expansion of her Institute, transforming her business model to focus on education rather than one-on-one consultations.

[10:45] B: "During COVID, I think they got forced to do something else... it's easier to create what I created."

The Future of Regenerative Health

Looking ahead, Carrie envisions regenerative health becoming the cornerstone of the natural health industry. She predicts widespread adoption and increased awareness, positioning her Institute as a leading educational platform.

[14:36] A: "I honestly think that regenerative health is going to take over the natural health industry... we are redefining health and wealth."

Carrie emphasizes the holistic nature of regenerative health, integrating biochemical, energetic, and emotional aspects to foster comprehensive well-being.

[16:07] A: "We focus on the toolkit, we have the business, we focus on the energetics, the emotions, the fascia."

Legacy and Impact

For Carrie, legacy is about creating lasting positive change that extends beyond her lifetime. She aims to leave an imprint of hope, health sovereignty, and wealth sovereignty, transforming lives for generations.

[18:16] A: "Legacy is making an imprint and an impact that lasts way past your existence... leaving behind an imprint that will transform for lifetimes."

Advice for Aspiring Practitioners

Carrie offers actionable advice for health practitioners feeling burnt out from one-on-one client work. She highlights the importance of scalable business models and leveraging online platforms to reach a broader audience.

[19:07] A: "We developed this completely online backend system called Regen Pro for the regenerative professional... it's a turnkey business for them."

The Institute provides comprehensive resources, including legal waivers, health questionnaires, workflows, and websites, facilitating practitioners to focus on healing rather than administrative tasks.

[19:56] A: "I took all the hardest things, the legal, the contracts, the questionnaires, the workflows, the websites... it's plug and play."
