The word interoception might not sound very sexy or important. But this sense is a really big deal. Interoception has a huge influence on many areas of our lives like self-regulation, mental health and social connection.About our Guest:Kelly Mahler OTD, OTR/L, earned a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University, Dallas, PA.

In this episode, Heidi Hadley breaks down the five powerful reasons why pandiculation is more effective than traditional stretching when it comes to creating long-term relief from chronic pain, tension, and restricted movement.Stretching might feel good in the moment, but it often only targets the muscles, not the root cause of the tension: your nervous system. Pandiculation goes deeper. It works with your brain and body to release chronic muscle contraction at the source, retraining your neuromuscular system for real and lasting change.Tune in to discover:Why pandiculation re-educates the brain, not just the musclesHow it resets the resting length of your muscles for greater mobilityWhy stretching can trigger the stretch reflex and cause more tensionHow pandiculation improves proprioception and body awarenessWhy pandiculation creates sustainable results without overloading the bodyIf you're tired of temporary fixes and want a proven, gentle, and intelligent way to reduce pain, improve movement, and feel more at ease in your body, this episode is for you.✨ Curious to experience this powerful approach?

We dive into the interconnected relationship between the mind, body, and soul and how aligning all three can unlock the manifestation of your deepest desires. We explore the non-linear path of self-growth, the power of somatic awareness, and what it actually means to be in energetic alignment. Through personal stories and experiences with modalities like NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and energy healing, we look at how burnout, misalignment, or over-efforting are often invitations to reconnect with your full self. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing the inner work that sustains outer results. Key Takeaways: ✨ How the mind, body, and soul each play a unique role in manifestation ✨ Real-life experiences with burnout and the practices that helped with recovery ✨ Why self-growth is not linear and how to embrace the in-between moments ✨ The role of energy healing, NLP, and EMDR in releasing internal blocks ✨ How somatic work can reveal what mindset work alone cannot ✨ A grounded look at authentic pricing strategies for service-based entrepreneurs This episode is for you if you've been doing the mindset work but still feel stuck, or if you're seeking a more embodied and soul-aligned approach to growth and success.

Our healthcare system treats us like it's one size fits all, yet that's not how true healing works, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Today's guest will help us understand how to fill the gap we experience with Western medicine, including the difference between signs vs. symptoms, and empowers our individualized healthcare. On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why chronic conditions require more than just a diagnosis and a prescription. They unpack Andrea's “three roots, many branches” model, revealing how digestion, inflammation, and genetics lie at the heart of chronic illness—and how nurturing the "soil" around them can lead to true healing. From nutrition habits to the importance of bio-individuality, this conversation empowers you to become an informed partner in your health care.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES: (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation. All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide.

The conversation explores fascia's impact on chronic pain, mood, brain fog, and chronic diseases, highlighting its often-overlooked importance.

Summary In this episode of the Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie Crane discusses the evolving understanding of the body and core muscles in Pilates. She emphasizes the importance of mindful movement, dynamic training, and listening to the body's signals. The conversation also highlights the significance of language in teaching Pilates and how it can shape perceptions of body awareness and self-love. Katie shares insights on how to improve core strength through cross-training and dynamic movement, particularly for runners, and encourages listeners to explore their own body awareness. takeaways Pilates professionals must adapt their understanding of the body over time. Core muscles cannot be simply turned on or off during movement. Every muscle in the body is working to support movement, even in pain or injury. Pilates should focus on the whole body rather than just individual muscles. Dynamic movement is essential for overall body function and health. Language used in Pilates can influence how clients perceive their bodies. Listening to the body can prevent injuries and promote healing. Self-love and body appreciation are key benefits of practicing Pilates. Fascia plays a crucial role in body awareness and communication. Cross-training can enhance performance and prevent overuse injuries. Sound Bites "You don't get to turn your core muscles on or off." "Every single muscle in your body right now is working." "Hydrate the fascia with movement." "Your diaphragm is a core muscle too." "Pilates teaches us to listen to the whispers of our body."

In this conversation, Amber Abila and I discuss the challenges many of us face when it comes to listening to our bodies, setting boundaries, and giving voice to what's true for us. Amber is a binge and overeating coach, while I coach people to speak with impact and clarity from their truest voice.We both see huge overlap in our coaching practices and agree that listening to our body is crucial for understanding our needs and then getting them met - whether that is with moderate amounts of nourishing food or expressing our authentic Selves verbally.It has taken me a long time to learn what it means to create safety in my body, to sit with my emotions and not eat or drink them away. Amber and I dig into matters of self-worth, the struggle against people-pleasing, and the reality of shame and its ability to trigger overeating, binge eating, staying silent or speaking non-truths. It's all related…join the conversation.Guest Bio:Amber Abila helps women stop binge eating & overeating by rewiring their brains so they can feel normal and in control around ANY food.Through coaching and psychology, she learned that there was nothing wrong with her and she just needed some simple brain tools to start making dramatic shifts in her eating habits and life.She now walks others step by step through her process in her signature Confident Eater Program as well as in her podcast, in the top 3% worldwide, called “Become a Confident Eater.”Website: https://www.theconfidenteater.orgPodcast: https://www.theconfidenteater.org/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconfidenteater_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/532434625387487YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@amberabila About Jen Oliver:I pursue and create environments where we converse on the REAL stuff that changes us.

This week's show is with Michael Perez. Michael didn't just learn the standard toolkits – he hit their limits early on (back in the 90s!) and dedicated years to figuring out *what really works* at the deepest levels of the human mind, modeling the true masters like Erickson beyond the textbook explanations. When the neuroscience revolution hit, he wasn't just an observer; he was actively integrating groundbreaking discoveries about the brain, the unconscious, and trance states into a *unified field theory* of change while mainstream psychology was still catching up. His exploration wasn't just academic; studies in Aikido, Zen, anthropology, and primatology revealed the power of primal states modern life forces us to forget. Then, facing a potentially career-ending physical crisis that left him crippled and in constant pain, he didn't just cope – he *innovated*. Using his unique synthesis of neuroscience and hypnosis, he developed new techniques *on himself* to overcome the pain and retrain his body, proving the power of the mind-body connection in the most demanding way possible. This crucible forged the core of the "Neuron Code." Decades of international training, coaching C-suite leaders, pioneering remote work, and deep cultural immersion haven't just given him experience; they've given him unparalleled insight into *how humans actually operate* beneath the surface. In this conversation, Lian is joined by Michael to explore the deeper roots of human communication… not just as a tool of language, but as a primal, somatic inheritance. Together, they trace the evolution of how we've spoken, felt, and connected through time - from the open plains of early endurance hunting to the quiet, intuitive knowing between two bodies in a room. Michael shares captivating insights into our pre-linguistic ways of relating, where emotional resonance, body awareness, and subtle mirroring were our first languages. Lian reflects on childhood memories of communicating wordlessly with other children, inviting listeners to remember a time when connection didn't rely on words, but on presence, attunement, and instinct. Together, they explore why this deeply embodied intelligence still lives within us… and why we so often forget to listen to it. As the episode unfolds, they reflect on how language, while powerful, can become a distraction from what's most true. Listeners are guided through the journey of learning to feel again: how to notice what your body knows, how to ‘reproduce someone else's inner world' within yourself, and how to return to the state of flow that lives beneath overthinking. The conversation asks the deeper question: what might happen if we let ourselves communicate as humans… not just as heads on sticks? We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How emotional intelligence and body awareness are the original languages of human connection, long before words came online Why your body often “knows” the truth before your mind can explain it, and how to trust that knowing in conversation The journey from conscious effort to unconscious competence… and why getting worse at communication might be the sign you're about to get much better Resources and stuff spoken about: Michael's Website Join UNIO, the Academy of Sacred Union.

As we navigate a world that demands our constant attention, we often find ourselves swept away by a relentless tide of tasks and thoughts, leaving little room for introspection or rest. This episode serves as an invitation to hit the pause button and reconnect with ourselves. I begin by addressing the common experience of being overwhelmed by stress and reactivity, where we fail to grant ourselves permission to simply stop and reflect. The essence of this episode is rooted in the transformative power of slowing down, even in brief moments throughout our day. I guide listeners to envision what it might feel like to step away from the rush and take a deep breath, allowing time for observation and resolution. This meditation centers on fostering awareness of the space that exists between stimuli and our responses, a crucial pause that can significantly enhance our emotional well-being. Throughout this guided meditation, I encourage participants to find a comfortable position and embrace the present moment. By focusing on the natural rhythm of their breath and allowing tension to dissipate, I lead them through a body scan, promoting relaxation and mindfulness. As we journey through each breath, I emphasize the significance of being attentive to our surroundings and our internal states. This practice not only aids in reducing stress but also facilitates clarity and presence, essential tools when navigating challenging situations. #guidedmeditation #mindfulness #anxietyrelief #stressreduction #relaxation #pausepractice #presentmomentawareness #emotionalregulation #wellbeing #mentalhealth #selfcare #calm #clarity #resilience #nervoussystemregulation #anxietycoach #meditation #mindfulnesspractice #innerpeace #stressmanagement #emotionalhealth #mentalwellness #healthyliving #selfcompassion #pause #slowdown #reset #GinaRyan #ACP #anxietycoachespodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

"Awareness in the Body - Awareness in Life" is the third episode in the Posture series of Tools of Awakening, Abdi Assadi and I, Pernilla Burke, explore the simple yet powerful practice of body awareness and posture as a way to cultivate presence. We look at what happens when we shift our awareness from the mind into the body—specifically, grounding into the feet—and how this shift can change the way we respond to life.

Is healing pain really as complex as it's often made out to be? While the current drumbeat in the rehabilitation world is that pain is complex, that statement often leads to a lot of resignation for many professionals, which trickles down to clients. Yes, there are layers and work to do, but is it actually complex? I don't think so. When I help someone sense into themselves and into their own rhythm, remarkable change is possible.

What We Discuss [00:02:01] - Introduction to Karden Rabin [00:08:09] - Discovery of healing back pain [00:09:24] - Psychological correlates of pain [00:12:53] - Signs and impact of an unregulated nervous system [00:17:45] - Connection between mind and body [00:21:17] - Amygdala hijack concept [00:23:32] - Kinesiology and movement [00:26:35] - The view-breath technique [00:27:47] - Feeling body energy [00:28:59] - Cross-crawl movement [00:29:32] - The power of cross-crawls [00:30:08] - Emotional and cognitive regulation [00:31:10] - Physical vs. verbal processing [00:33:38] - Book recommendations and resources [00:36:21] - Closing remarks Notable Quotes [00:08:09] "Are you an overachiever? Are you type A? Are you a perfectionist? Do you put everyone's needs before your own? Do you repress most of your feelings? It started with a personality diagnosis, and I'd never seen anything like that before." — Karden Rabin [00:14:15] "Most people learn skills to become more efficient and get more done, but they don't use the benefits of that efficiency to seize back time for themselves. They just use the time to demand more output from themselves, and they are 1000% complicit in their own exploitation." — Karden Rabin [00:21:11] "Regulation gives you the ability to really think clearly and focus on what matters. All of our functional MRI measurements show that under stress or trauma, your higher executive functions start to shut down, and your old lizard survival brain turns on." — Karden Rabin [00:26:35] "When you physically stimulate a nerve, you create electrical activity in that nerve, and it sends good messages." — Karden Rabin Our Guest Karden Rabin is a co-author of The Secret Language of the Body, a guide to connecting with one's body and mind. In collaboration with Jennifer Mann, Karden explores how habitual patterns in response to stress can lead to mental and physical health issues. The book invites readers to experience their body, sensations, and emotions more consciously, offering science-based insights and practical techniques for healing and self-care. Karden's work emphasizes nurturing a balanced relationship with the organism we inhabit, moving beyond mere survival.

We cover the ins and outs of body-oriented coaching, how to discuss embodiment without getting lost in jargon, and what it means to build “minimal trust.” Along the way, we tackle neuro-hype, research credibility (with a nod to Amy Cuddy and Wendy Palmer), and the delicate balance between theory and practice. Expect insights into empathy, embodied self-awareness, interoception, proprioception, centring, and the all-important “keystone” of becoming your best self.

As today is Christmas Day, I offer a special guided meditation designed to resonate with everyone celebrating this time of year. My aim is to create a space where listeners can step back from the hustle and bustle, even for just a moment, to reconnect with their innate sense of tranquility. Throughout the meditation, I emphasize the importance of gratitude for the listening community we've built together. I acknowledge the support and connection that exists among us, even if we are geographically apart. Each individual's journey toward calming their nervous system not only benefits themselves but creates a ripple effect, fostering peace in the world around us. It's a reminder that taking time for self-care should never be viewed as selfish but rather as a necessary step toward collective well-being. As the guided meditation unfolds, I encourage listeners to pause and breathe deeply, releasing the stress and anxiety often associated with the holiday season. I invite everyone to set aside their worries and expectations, allowing them to reconnect with their center and inner calm. The meditation guides listeners through a series of breathing exercises and sensory awareness, promoting relaxation and grounding in the present moment. #GuidedMeditation, #InnerPeace, #ChristmasMeditation, #HolidayRelaxation, #AnxietyRelief, #Calmness, #BodyAwareness, #BreathingExercises, #MeditationForStress, #Mindfulness, #HolidayStressRelief, #InnerCalm, #PeaceOfMind, #SelfCare, #MentalHealth, #RelaxationTechniques, #MeditationForAnxiety, #MindfulnessMeditation, #ChristmasMindfulness, #NervousSystemHealing, #ACP, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Connecting Mind and Body[00:12:20] “So often we'll have a breakdown that happens in our life or we'll have an injury, or we'll have something that comes along, pain that comes along and interrupts the life we're living. And it's one of our most frustrating experiences as human beings, like, oh, I wish I could get rid of this or fix this or this hadn't happened. And yet often it's those really challenging moments that create a lot of disruption that bring us into new places.” [00:16:08] “Even just first being introduced to the idea that they're not separate, that our body is not separate from our emotions, is not separate from our mind, is not separate from our identity and our personality, from our habitual behaviors, from our lived experiences, our traumas and our triumphs, none of it is separate. And the body is the place where all of these things meet.” [00:58:15] “If it doesn't feel a little scary, no change is going to come from it. If I'm actually growing, I'm expanding, I'm stepping into more. I've got to feel all those feelings. So it's not that the discomfort goes away, but we start to have a different relationship with it. We're like, okay, and I can breathe with it and I can keep going through it.”Connect with Dr. Aiden Kinsella Website - https://www.vervewellnessstudio.com/network-spinal-care LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-aidan-kinsellaAudio/video editing and show notes by Podcast Abundance.
