Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today's conversation is with Kim and Holly from CFT Global, the leaders carrying forward Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, a modality that blends craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and oral-structural work into one unified system.We explore why fascia is not just connective tissue, but an intelligent communication network that holds tension, trauma, and adaptation patterns. From infants struggling after birth, to adults with migraines, brain fog, concussions, and chronic stress, CFT works by restoring movement—movement of the cranial bones, movement of cerebrospinal fluid, and movement of the nervous system back toward safety.What struck me most is this: CFT doesn't force the body to heal. It listens. By following the body's innate wisdom, the nervous system shifts into parasympathetic regulation, allowing digestion, detoxification, emotional processing, and cognition to improve naturally. This episode is a deep dive into why healing is not about doing more, but about creating the conditions where the body can finally do what it already knows how to do.Episode Highlights[00:00] – Craniosynostosis, infant skulls, and why cranial plates must move for brain growth[02:16] – What Craniosacral Fascial Therapy actually is (and how it's different from CST)[04:11] – Cognitive clarity, emotional shifts, and whole-body effects of fascial release[06:34] – The origins of CFT: osteopathy, myofascial release, and oral structures[08:29] – Why head pressure persists even when labs “look normal”[10:12] – Tongue ties, airway dysfunction, and the overlooked craniodental system[13:29] – Weston Price, epigenetics, and how modern environments reshape facial structure[17:27] – Why releasing a tongue tie without bodywork can create new problems[23:10] – Are cranial bones really fused? Debunking a long-held medical myth[25:48] – Understanding the “brain cycle” and what zero brain motion means[31:23] – Vagus nerve regulation and parasympathetic healing through CFT[39:41] – Fascia as an organ system and what dissection reveals about the body[41:36] – Adhesions, scars, and how gentle work restores visceral movement[47:26] – Concussions, CTE, and why unresolved cranial strain matters long-term[50:57] – Why CFT is still unknown—and why that's starting to change[01:01:36] – Emotional releases, stored trauma, and the body's ability to unwind[01:04:34] – What infants teach us about nervous system regulation (no placebo required)Links & ResourcesCFT Global Website & Trainings: https://craniosacralfascialtherapy.comKim and Holly's  Instagram: @cftgillespieapproachBeam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1— Code: beautifullybroken   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Unexplained chronic pain/illness trapping you in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April dives into neuroplastic symptoms—brain-generated conditions from stress/trauma (1 in 6 adults, higher in autism/ADHD)—with Dr. David Clarke, MD (Internal Medicine/Gastroenterology), ATNS President (nonprofit ending pain epidemic), and podcast host "The Story Behind the Symptoms." Treating 7000+ patients, Dr. Clarke's book "They Can't Find Anything Wrong" reveals real symptoms (fibromyalgia/migraines/IBS/long COVID) unresponsive to physical treatments—focus on stress sources for recovery. Key insights: Neuroplastic basics: Brain rewires from stresses (current emotions/childhood adversity/being "different" like ND); no structural cause but real (scans prove circuits change).

In this episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life, Brandy Gillmore explores how subconscious emotional patterns can be directly linked to physical pain, inflammation, and unexplained symptoms—and how real healing begins at a deeper level of the mind. Brandy shares compelling research, including documented cases of multiple personality disorder (now called dissociative identity disorder), where an individual experiences different illnesses, symptoms, and even blindness in different personalities—despite having the same physical body. These findings offer powerful evidence of the mind-body connection and show how quickly the body can change when subconscious programming shifts. In a live coaching session, Brandy works with Tracey, a volunteer experiencing migrating foot pain, jaw pain, burning sensations, and inflammation that doctors have been unable to explain, even with MRIs. As the session unfolds, Brandy helps Tracey identify suppressed emotional patterns related to relationships, control, and unmet emotional needs that have been stored in her subconscious mind. You'll Discover: How it's possible for chronic pain to move or flare without a clear medical cause How suppressed emotions can remain active even when you "feel fine" Why positivity, meditation, affirmations, and mindset work may not be enough How subconscious relationship patterns can affect both emotional and physical health What true emotional transformation looks like at the mind-body level As Tracy's awareness shifts, listeners witness her experience real-time reductions in pain and burning, demonstrating how emotional healing can support physical change when addressed at the subconscious level. This episode is especially valuable for anyone experiencing: Chronic pain or unexplained symptoms Autoimmune flare-ups linked to stress or relationships Repeating relationship patterns that feel painful or confusing A sense of feeling unloved, disconnected, or emotionally stuck Frustration after trying meditation, mindset work, or holistic approaches without lasting results This episode offers education, insight, and hope, showing how healing becomes possible when emotional patterns are transformed—not suppressed. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

In this special podcast episode, CJ turns on the record button during one of his real counseling sessions with breathwork and Somatic Experiencing specialist Jonathan Schechter, offering listeners an intimate look into embodied healing in real time. Together, they explore how we're often taught to view life—and healing—through a strictly material lens, while our medical system is far less equipped to address emotional states, stress, and the nervous system. Jonathan encourages listeners to become their own practitioners by cultivating curiosity and awareness, likening it to discovering new colors beyond a limited palette—and even noticing the space between the colors, where real power lives.CJ shares a simple but revealing moment from daily life: while folding laundry, he noticed he wasn't breathing, unconsciously waiting until the task was finished to take a breath. Inspired by Jack Kornfield's After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, the conversation turns toward bringing meditative awareness into ordinary chores—and celebrating the awareness itself. As Jonathan reminds us, without awareness there can be no change.The discussion deepens as CJ talks openly about chronic pain, rushing habits, and resisting sadness following the loss of a close friend and mentor. Jonathan explains how the nervous system adapts to its environment and why somatic healing takes time. He guides CJ through a gentle practice of finding areas of ease in the body, then slowly returning to the emotional “epicenter” without becoming flooded—a process known as pendulation, developed by Peter Levine, founder of Somatic Experiencing. Like building strength at the gym, healing happens gradually, by moving between discomfort and safety.Jonathan also introduces Levine's SIBAM model, which breaks experience into five layers—Sensation, Image, Behavior, Affect, and Meaning—allowing overwhelming experiences like pain to be gently separated and processed in manageable pieces. They recommend Levine's book In an Unspoken Voice as a key resource and discuss how pendulation and SIBAM can become practical tools during pain or flare-ups.Later in the episode, CJ shares a new healing power statement—“I open my fist to healing; my body and mind harmonize”—and reflects on releasing old coping strategies that once served him but are no longer needed. Jonathan reframes this not as failure, but as safety: now the body is safe enough to heal. CJ even shares a creative way to reinforce intention by turning power statements into daily-use passwords.The episode closes with Jonathan recommending meditation teacher and author Shinzen Young, whose work focuses on working skillfully with physical pain and discomfort—offering listeners yet another doorway into mindful, embodied healing.For more information on Jonathan Schecter visit: https://bluemagicalchemy.com/Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

The holidays can be filled with joy, but for many living with chronic pain or chronic illness, December brings spikes in symptoms, packed calendars, and pressure to perform happiness. We unpack why this happens through a brain and nervous system lens and share a realistic survival guide you can actually use, even on your busiest days.We break down how neuroplastic pain and illness amplifies under holiday “danger signals” such as: family conflict or distance, pressure, people pleasing, financial strain, and social or physical exposure. Then we get practical. You'll learn how to stack safety signals—breathwork, present-moment sensing, qigong, visualization, safe self-talk—in ways that fit your style, whether you prefer scheduled 20-minute practices or quick five-minute resets during gatherings. We also walk through processing dysregulation without suppression, because resisting emotion reliably cranks up pain and symptom sensitivity, while gentle exposure paired with safety calms your system.Finally, we tackle people pleasing with tools that protect your energy and your relationships. Set boundaries inside your healing window—limit events, simplify gifts, and skip conflict-heavy topics. Practice free expression that's honest and kind, reducing resentment and easing your nervous system. Lower intensity on purpose: slow your pace, schedule non-negotiable regulation time, and choose fewer traditions to do. If you've felt trapped between wanting a meaningful holiday season and managing symptoms, this conversation offers a clear route to both. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a calmer holiday, and leave a review to help others discover practical tools for neuroplastic pain and nervous system regulation.Safety Signal Practice: https://youtu.be/gCMCfPZ7Qr0Emotion & Dysregulation Practice: https://youtu.be/qJ-dZ1YRFYcTanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms.

Is God still with you when the pain doesn't go away? This episode dives deep into the invisible torment that chronic pain brings. Dr. David Hockman (a former surgeon who now lives with chronic pain himself) and Pastor Shay Roush unpack what chronic pain actually is, why it's far more than “just physical,” and how it rewires your brain, drains your energy, strains relationships, and can shake your faith to the core.  The conversation walks you through the biology of tolerance and withdrawal, the red flags of addiction, the proper (and improper) use of pain medication, and a long list of practical, whole-person strategies that can help you live with pain instead of being owned by it. At the heart of this episode is a life-changing truth: God's strength is made perfect in weakness, not in the absence of suffering.  Your chronic pain does not mean God has abandoned you; pain may remain, but it never gets the last word. Someday you will be united with Jesus and your present sufferings will be but a “light and momentary affliction” when you receive your pain-free resurrected body. Our prayer is that this hope sustains, guides and comforts you even when the pain doesn't go away.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger and Dr William Kalatsky continue their discussion on holistic healing, focusing on Manon's partner Tony's chronic pain and emotional stress. Tony has been suffering from neuralgia pain since a shingles outbreak two years ago, which has been exacerbated by family conflicts and societal pressures.  For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/william-kalatsky2       Highlights from today's episode include:  Dr. William explains Emotions create measurable physical effects, so clearing emotions can ease physical pain. Dr William describes how changing your inner "frequency" (beliefs and default emotions) gives you more freedom and choice. Manon shares that William helped clear her mind and had a peaceful impact on her. Manon and William discuss the importance of gratitude and how it can positively impact one's life.   ABOUT DR WILLIAM KALATSKY: Dr. William Kalatsky is a pioneer in the field of consciousness and emotional healing. With decades of experience in chiropractic care, meditation, and energy work, he developed Field of Consciousness Healing, a method that helps people release trauma, dissolve limiting patterns, and step into new levels of clarity and freedom. At the heart of his work is a simple yet profound truth: emotions are frequencies stored in the body and field of consciousness. When unresolved, they continue to shape our thoughts, relationships, and health. Dr. William's method guides people to identify these patterns, clear the frequency of trauma, and install new emotional codes of peace, gratitude, and empowerment. He is the author of The Intuition Method, which offers practical tools to strengthen intuition, rewire subconscious patterns, and manifest aligned outcomes. His sessions and workshops have helped clients from all walks of life—professionals, entrepreneurs, and trauma survivors—experience rapid transformation. Many report that painful stories can be remembered without emotional charge after just one session. Dr. William's work bridges science and spirituality. Collaborations with institutions such as the University of Miami explore how brainwaves, HRV, and biometrics validate what thousands have experienced firsthand: when the field of consciousness is cleared, the mind and body reorganize into health, resilience, and creativity. Whether speaking on stage, leading group healings, or working one-on-one, Dr. William brings clarity, compassion, and a deep commitment to human potential. His mission is to show that freedom from trauma is possible—not in years of struggle, but often in moments of breakthrough. Core purpose/passion: My purpose is to help people free themselves from trauma by clearing the specific frequencies that keep old pain alive. This work is always evolving. Years ago, I was clearing the frequencies of migraine headaches in hospitals in England. That led me to discover that unresolved emotions were behind the pain. Each realization has taken me deeper, and I don't know where the next evolution will lead. What I do know is that when people release trauma and move into peace, joy, or love, it shifts not only their life but the frequency of the entire planet. –  Facebook |  YouTube | Instagram |  LinkedIn  |  Website ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER: As a recently De-Registered board-certified naturopathic physician & in practice since 1992, I've seen an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

Dr. Daniel Amen reveals that most chronic pain isn't just in your back, knee, or neck - it's in your brain. He explains the doom loop, a vicious cycle where pain triggers suffering, which activates automatic negative thoughts, creating physical tension that leads to harmful coping habits and more pain. Through scanning over 300,000 brains from 155 countries, he's proven that healing your brain can eliminate pain that's haunted you for years, even when MRIs show structural damage. You'll learn why believing every negative thought is literally damaging your body, and discover how practices like gratitude, managing your mind, and connecting to faith can set you free. This episode gives you the complete roadmap to heal both your brain and your body by understanding they've always been connected.Dr. Amen's books:Change Your Brain Every DayConquer Your Negative Thoughts30% Happier in 30 DaysRaising Mentally Strong KidsAmen clinicsIn this episode you will:Discover why 70% of chronic pain is linked to brain health rather than physical injury aloneBreak free from the doom loop that cycles between pain, suffering, negative thoughts, and harmful habitsLearn to stop believing automatic negative thoughts that damage both your mind and bodyUnderstand how faith and belief in God can triple your protection against depressionUncover the hidden brain damage caused by alcohol, marijuana, and artificial sweeteners like aspartameFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1860For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Gabor Maté – greatness.lnk.to/1849SCDr. Andrew Huberman  – greatness.lnk.to/1830SCDr. Joe Dispenza – greatness.lnk.to/1857SC Get more from Lewis!

Most people over 50 have disc bulges and degeneration and are not in pain. 30% of people in their 20s have disc bulges and are not in pain. Janda would say that the disc is being injured by postural issues due to muscle imbalances and also because of dysfunctional movement patterns caused by those Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes.  Treating a disc bulge only gives temporary relief. The underlying sheering force caused by a short tight psoas or a forward head placement will start to injury adjacent discs and will perpetuate pain.  Fix the Function! Correct the Crossed Patterns and retrain the movement patterns for lasting relief of chronic pain.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4464797/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921966/   BLACKFRIDAY20 at Checkout (look for the link to click) for 20% off all Courses and Bundles of Courses on my Podia site.

Send your questions to be answered live on the podcast to: info@painpsychotherapy.caLove doesn't disappear when chronic pain shows up, but it can get buried under appointments, bills, and long stretches of silence. We open up about the years when pain became the only topic in our home, the ways our roles warped into caregiver and patient, and the slow, deliberate choices that helped us find our way back to closeness while symptoms were still present. This is a story about social safety—how relationships can signal danger or safety—and how changing that signal can reduce neuroplastic pain.We break down the hidden traps couples fall into: letting pain consume every conversation, organizing the relationship around “fighting the system,” and staying too long in a caregiver role. Then we share what worked. Communication that aims at co‑regulation rather than debate. Partner involvement that supports, not polices. Shared learning about brain-based approaches so skepticism doesn't sabotage progress. And boundaries that protect the supporter's identity—because a regulated partner has more to give than a depleted one.Expect concrete takeaways you can use right away: weekly “no symptom talk” windows to protect connection, small exposure steps that rebuild everyday life together, one‑sentence appreciations that melt shame, and a clear plan to shift roles back from caregiving to companionship. If chronic pain has narrowed your world, this conversation offers a map to widen it again—without waiting for perfect health to start living. If this resonates, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and tell us: which step will you try this week?Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make gradual changes in your life and health!

Athena Brownson is no stranger to pain. As a former professional skier, she sustained so many injuries, her doctors warned that if she kept it up, she'd have to have her knees replaced before she was 30. After she retired, she found success as a Realtor in the Denver area, and all was great until Athena was hit with a major medical setback. Lyme Disease threatened her bodily peace, her mental peace, her work, everything. The daily pain was debilitating, and yet, she while she was no stranger to pain, she was also no stranger to resilience. That resilience can be seen in her discussion with Max. It's inspiring, to say the least.    For more from Athena:  AthenaBrownsonRealtor.com Instagram: @athenabrownsonrealtor   For More From Sober Coach/Substance Abuse Counselor Max Njist, visit MaxNijst.org

His story is a testament to resilience and innovation in healthcare, as he expands his business model nationwide to tackle opioid dependency. Furthermore, David touches on the unique interdisciplinary nature of his practice, combining various healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive pain management.Key Takeaways:Transformative Business Model: Elite Pain Doctors emphasize non-opioid pain relief solutions, making significant strides in chronic pain management.From Personal Struggle to Solution Provider: David's journey from an opioid-affected community to a healthcare innovator shows resilience and determination.Nationwide Expansion: Plans are in place to grow the model nationally, advocating for policy changes to support innovative pain management techniques.Interdisciplinary Approach: The incorporation of diverse medical professionals ensures holistic patient care and improved outcomes.Advocacy and Transparency: Radical transparency in interactions and educating patients on their treatment options is pivotal for patient empowerment and trust.Notable Quotes:"We're changing lives that way.

Try Pain Coach Connect with Lachlan on LinkedInStruggling to turn complex chronic pain into simple, actionable care plans your patients can follow?In this episode of the Modern Pain Podcast, Mark sits down with physiotherapist and Pain Coach founder Lachlan Townend to unpack how lifestyle data, clinical reasoning, and tech can finally work together instead of against each other.Lachlan shares his own journey with persistent groin pain, why the traditional biopsychosocial model often becomes “woo-woo” and unmeasured, and how he built Pain Coach to help clinicians track sleep, exercise, social connection, nutrition, and psychological distress in a way that actually guides treatment.You'll hear us dive into:How Lachlan's personal pain story shaped his empathy and practiceWhy patients don't want “complexity” – they want simple, actionable stepsThe limitations of manual therapy and short-term fixes (without throwing them out entirely)How to use lifestyle tracking as a clinical support tool, not a replacement for reasoningUsing data to test-treat-retest lifestyle changes over timeThe tension between research, incentives, and real-world outcomesHow AI could help clinicians ask better questions of their patients' dataIf you're a physio, PT, chiro, OT, pain coach, or any clinician working with persistent pain, this conversation will give you a concrete way to move beyond the “magic hands” model and into measurable, whole-person care.*********************************************************************

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas sits down with Dr. Hany Demian, physician innovator, regenerative medicine pioneer, and CEO of the Biop Spine Institute. With over 20 years of experience treating chronic pain, Dr. Demian has shifted away from traditional pain management toward a groundbreaking model that blends AI-driven diagnostics, cellular-level therapies, and microinvasive procedures—all aimed at restoring the body rather than simply masking symptoms.Dr. Demian shares the personal and professional turning point that pushed him to transform his approach: patients repeatedly returning with the same pain, coupled with his own struggles with chronic spine and joint issues. This inspired his mission to move beyond management and into true healing. Today, his clinics combine biologic treatments such as stem cells, PRP, and peptides with data-guided rehabilitation and AI-based predictive modeling that assesses lifestyle, genetics, wearables, inflammation markers, and more.He explains how AI is unlocking unprecedented insights—predicting who will develop back pain, how quickly degeneration will occur, and which interventions will work best. Inspired by early breakthroughs in AI-driven cardiac prediction, Dr. Demian believes spine and joint care will soon shift from reactive to proactive, catching problems 5–10 years before they become symptomatic.Looking ahead, Dr. Demian envisions a radical shift in musculoskeletal care:Regenerative therapies as first-line treatmentNear elimination of traditional pain clinicsFewer surgeries due to earlier detection and cellular repairWidespread reversal of aging-related degenerationHe predicts a future where aging becomes a “modifiable condition,” supported by advanced stem cell treatments, peptides, exosomes, genetic insights, and healthier lifestyle habits now emerging in younger generations.Dr. Demian's optimistic, science-backed vision points toward a world where chronic pain is rare, mobility is preserved, and humans age healthier and stronger than ever before.A fascinating conversation for anyone interested in regenerative medicine, longevity, AI in healthcare, and the future of pain-free living.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review - Apple or Spotify.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chronic pain affects over 50 million U.S. adults, but research shows that pain resilience — your ability to adapt and stay active despite discomfort — matters more than pain severity itself Pain resilience acts as a mental shock absorber, helping people maintain physical activity even with significant pain, while fear of movement has weaker influence when resilience is present Five components define pain resilience. These are emotional self-regulation, psychological flexibility, self-care behaviors, religion and spirituality, and internal strengths like optimism, persistence, and problem-solving skills Building resilience requires practical daily habits, including consuming healthy carbohydrates for energy, training your brain toward optimism through reframing challenges, and learning new skills or hobbies Physical activity and quality sleep strengthen resilience. Walking around 8,000 steps daily improves metabolic health and pain management, while good sleep helps you handle stress

In this episode, Larry sits down with Mary to break down one of the biggest problems facing the United States today: the chronic pain epidemic. Even with over a million personal trainers, hundreds of thousands of clinicians, and countless medical institutions, people are still falling through the cracks — stuck between incomplete medical discharge and a fitness industry unprepared to handle their limitations. Mary and Larry explain how this “gray zone” traps millions, leaving them unsure where to turn next.  They discuss why so many people are told “this is as good as it gets,” and why that message is almost never true. From painkillers to braces, orthotics to modified gym routines, they outline how tools meant to be temporary often become permanent when there is no professional capable of guiding people out of pain. The pair break down the Active Life view that chronic pain resolution requires active participation — physical, mental, and environmental changes that create adaptations, not dependency.  Finally, Mary shares the larger vision: a world in which people understand that living with chronic pain is a choice — but only when supported by professionals trained to guide the full journey. They explore the need for thousands more ALPs (Active Life Professionals), the gap after physical therapy where most people regress, and how Active Life's dual mission (education + brick-and-mortar locations) will reshape the future of pain resolution.

Living with a disability shouldn't mean fighting for basic care—but for far too many, it does.

Listeners learn how relaxation improves not only performance and focus but also emotional intelligence, creativity, and resilience in business and life. Quotes: “Most pain comes from excess muscle tension. When you relax the muscle, you release the problem at its root.” “Your emotions live in your body. You can't think your way out of tension—you have to feel your way through it.” “Real yoga isn't about poses or flexibility. It's about awareness in motion.” “When you slow down and reconnect with your body, thinking quiets down, and action becomes effortless.” Resources: Visit David Scott Lynn's Website Connect with David Scott Lynn on LinkedIn Connect with David Scott Lynn on Facebook Follow David Scott Lynn on X
