  1. Hi, my name is Kayla Hill.
  2. And
  3. in the past three things that has
  4. encouraged me to
  5. pursue
  6. integrative holistic health
  7. is my health career,
  8. going into the medical, going into the health career
  9. and pursuing my medical degree,
  10. which has been the goal that I've been working towards since
  11. I was a child and before I came to college,
  12. I really didn't know anything about holistic health or the benefits that it gave.
  13. So when I took the class and I was able to connect
  14. study of whole ism
  15. with
  16. the practice that I wanted to go to in the medical field.
  17. Some influences that have encouraged me
  18. was when I was in,
  19. well, I should say, influencers when I was in,
  20. when I was a freshman
  21. at Western,
  22. um,
  23. I was registered for classes my first day and do adore
  24. orientation and a lady was helping me register for classes.
  25. I don't remember her name,
  26. but
  27. she was explaining to class to me and
  28. one class that she pointed out that really
  29. stood with me was holistic health and she told
  30. me that this class would be the best thing I've ever done in my college career.
  31. So,
  32. I mean, you hear that a lot from a lot of different teachers.
  33. So I was, I was curious because I didn't, I've never heard of holistic health before,
  34. but I also was like, well, how is she now?
  35. So, but after taking the class, I really feel like
  36. it was the best decision I ever made exactly what she told me
  37. and then dealing with anxiety. So I was had anxiety since I was in high school.
  38. It wasn't as bad until I got into college,
  39. especially between the transition from high school and college
  40. and the first time I had an anxiety attack was when my family left me
  41. after dropping me off at the dorms and I had a breakdown.
  42. It was horrible and I went home literally every weekend, every time that I could.
  43. And the first time that I had an anxiety attack,
  44. I tried to run to the doctors and asked them if they can give me, I don't know
  45. and help me with my anxiety attacks. And the first thing they pointed out was
  46. taking medication. Um
  47. I didn't take them,
  48. they didn't, I told them no.
  49. And then when I took the class,
  50. I was happy with my decision and I told him I
  51. didn't want to take it because I learned that there are other
  52. ways that I can help control my anxiety.
  53. Okay,
  54. currently I am interested in meditation, which has been a huge part of my life
  55. since I started my whole ISM journey four years ago,
  56. I've benefited so much from
  57. holistic and have learned that there are so
  58. many different ways meditation can heal the mind.
  59. I'm interested in learning level them
  60. and integrating them into my daily life.
  61. Mhm.
  62. Acupuncture.
  63. Um I have done a lot of research on
  64. the benefits and also have tried it
  65. in the past
  66. and enjoyed how it made me feel
  67. after we just relaxed and
  68. it relieves some stress but not all.
  69. And then yoga. I'm not the most flexible person in the world.
  70. So yoga have been trying to practice
  71. and
  72. trying to find how the flexibility can relieve areas of the body that are tense.
  73. Um
  74. I feel like this kind of form of holistic dissimilar to meditation which I have
  75. which is why I've tried I'm trying to incorporate into my life because I know
  76. it will relieve the mind and body at once.
  77. Okay.

  86. explore different forms of natural medicine
  87. that will help them benefit from.
  88. And then using the holistic approach for my anxiety.
  89. Um I feel like since it has helped me in the
  90. past I still want to incorporate it into like the future
  91. and
  92. not only stick to meditation and yoga
  93. even though they have been
  94. big helpers in my life.
