Functional Medicine with Paul Petronella
2026/10/03
Paul comes from a large Italian family versed in the restaurant industry.  After many years of running a family restaurant, He noticed a decline in overall health.  He was disappointed in doctor visits that led nowhere.  He eventually went down the Functional Health rabbit hole which led me to investigating his blood work. He wanted to learn how to read blood work and lab tests so He could investigate his own symptoms.  He experimented with a few Health Coaching programs and eventually landed at IHPI, Integrative Health Practitioner Institute.  He fell in love with Dr. Stephen Cabral's knowledge and his approach with his clients and students.  He knocked out 4 levels of certifications one after the other for his own personal knowledge.  Once he realized the restaurant was closing, it was an easy transition for him.  Now he is helping folks with personalized plans based on their goals and symptoms paired with test results.  Instagram: @petronellafunctionalhealth Facebook: Paul Petronella Website: PetronellaFunctionalHealth.com  Mention- Leap of Health Podcast during a Discovery Consultation and get a discount If you’d like to connect or learn more about me and my podcast, Leap of Health, you can find me at the links below: Website: www.alexbalgood.com Facebook: @AlexBalgood @LeapOfHealthWithAlexBalgood Instagram: @AlexBalgood YouTube: @alexbalgood.leapofhealth Book: -Parents, Our Greatest Teachers  -Spring WithIN -Despierta y Florece a la Vida Available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon, and at Barnes & Noble.

Somatic Psychotherapy with Suzy Butz
2026/02/18
Suzy knows what it’s like to live stuck in survival mode. She grew up in a dysfunctional family, married young, and went through three near-death experiences—including domestic violence.

She realised she was living in her head, completely disconnected from her body, and began training in somatic psychotherapy. That journey not only helped her heal, but also uncovered her gift for turning complex neuroscience into down-to-earth, practical tools that anyone can use.Today, she works with clients around the world and recently launched her program From Surviving 2 Thriving. Her first course, From Stress 2 Bliss, teaches people how to understand their body’s stress responses—and how to finally break free from survival mode and live with more ease, resilience, and joy.
