    EP115 - Reclaim mobility and reduce back pain with Dr. Darren Subrayan

    Play Episode Listen Later May 20, 2025 33:02


    in today's episode, we're diving into something that so many people silently struggle with — back pain. But not just the kind that comes from lifting something heavy or sleeping funny. We're talking about the kind of pain that builds up over time — often linked to stress, emotional tension, and the all-too-common habit of spending most of our lives sitting still. Chronic stress doesn't just affect your mood or your sleep — it can literally reshape the way your body feels and functions. Combine that with a sedentary lifestyle, and you've got the perfect recipe for persistent back pain. To help us unpack all of this, I'm joined today by someone who truly understands the intricate connection between the spine, the nervous system, and overall well-being — Dr. Darren Subrayan. Dr. Darren is a chiropractor with a deep passion for spinal health. He brings a wealth of clinical experience and a compassionate approach to understanding not just the symptoms, but the story behind the pain. In our conversation, we'll explore how stress shows up in the body, why movement is medicine, and what simple, effective steps you can take to support your spine and your health — starting today.

    In this episode we're diving into a conversation that so many of us—especially mothers—need to hear. Setting boundaries is one of the hardest things to do, yet it's essential for our health, well-being, and the way we show up for our families. Why do we struggle with it so much? Why do so we feel depleted, constantly giving without refilling their own cups? To help us unpack this, I'm joined by Dr. Kirsten Lauritzen, a highly respected functional medicine practitioner who specialises in women's health, burnout, and performance. She's here to shed light on why boundaries are so difficult to maintain, the physiological and emotional toll of over-giving, and how we can start reclaiming our energy and well-being.

    Hi Everyone In episode 91 I have the wonderful Niki Seberini back on the show. This time dive deeper into what each and everyone of us can do to manage stress, anxiety and optimise our health better. All through the one modality we have available to us at any time. That being our breath. Breathwork is the missing key to optimal health. You don't have to go outside of yourself to find it, nor do you have to join a club or spend lots of money in order to access it. You just have to consciously shift it and the benefits are extraordinary.  According to Dr Darragh O'Carroll breathwork may: - boost mood - decrease high blood pressure - deepen relaxation - help with symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - improve alertness, focus, and memory - increase heart rate variability (a metric associated with longevity,  fitness, and mental health) - promote creativity - promote quality sleep - soothe emotions associated with grief and trauma - reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression - reduce symptoms of asthma - reduce symptoms of stress You can contact Niki at nikiseberini.com  #breathworkfacilitator #breathismedicine #breathwork #breathe #breatheeasy #nikiseberini #halcyon #calmmoment

Anyone who has ever suffered with long term abdominal pain will know how difficult it is to treat let alone cure IBS  and how many different approaches you have to try before finding some kind of relief, only for it to be temporary.  I do need to emphasise up front that if you are suffering from any health concern, your first port of call should always be your doctor. It is really important to rule out any serious medical conditions first.  If you have any questions that you would like to hear answered on the show, please visit www.reinventhealth.co.za and leave a message
