Podcasts about heartmath

Modern science, particularly research from the Institute of HeartMath, now reveals that the heart possesses its own "brain" with neurons capable of processing information independently. When your heart and brain synchronize into a coherent state, often described as "the zone," you unlock enhanced intuition, clarity, and your body's natural healing capabilities. This coherence optimizes your inner environment, lowering stress hormones (like cortisol) and boosting beneficial ones (like DHEA). Focus on shifting your awareness from your head to your heart allowing your heart rhythm to become smooth and regular, and noticing the calming effect on your mind. This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Beyond Limits: Embracing Your Infinite Potential," episodes 3325-3331.

Meet today's guest, Helen Valleau, beloved Hoffman teacher and coach. Helen completed the Hoffman Process in March 1992 and began teaching the Process in November 1995. Now, three decades later, Helen sits down with Drew for a beautiful conversation about how the Process changed both her and the trajectory of her life. Growing up in Edmonton, Alberta, Helen's childhood was very different from the other kids she knew. Her parents were corporate bush pilots who flew in the Arctic. Helen's mother loved to fly, daring to dream and follow her passion. She was the first woman inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame and was a recipient of the Amelia Earhart award. When Helen was 13, her mother was diagnosed with cancer and started on a long healing journey. Eventually, Helen lost her mother when Helen was nearing her 20th birthday.  She shares what an incredible experience it was to witness her mother's fierce determination and strength, but also how hard it was to miss out on a softer, warmer experience of her mother. Her mother's imprinting left her with a lot of pain and confusion, as well as the determination to emulate her mother. But as we know from doing the Process, that doesn't work. When Helen came to the Process at 32, she was "ready to lay it all out and be done with it." She knew she was messing up her life because of her patterns. At the Process, Helen realized she had "this Essence of eternal love and grace and wisdom and peace within her." She knew, beyond a doubt, that the trajectory of her life had changed. Helen is a light-filled force of nature full of inspiration, positivity, and profound wisdom. We hope you enjoy this rich, vibrant, and tender conversation with Helen and Drew. More about Helen Valleau: As a certified HeartMath facilitator and long-standing Supervising Teacher with the Hoffman Institute, Helen helps others shed old stories, heal emotional wounds, and awaken to a more vibrant, heart-aligned life. Her inspirational books, A Year of Possibilities and 100 Minutes of Inspiration, offer daily nourishment for the soul—reminders that every stage of life holds the potential for joy, creativity, and reinvention. Her forthcoming work, Inner Power Aging, promises to deepen this journey, guiding readers to discover the strength, freedom, and fulfillment that come with embracing age as a sacred evolution. Rooted in Toronto, Helen shares her voice through writing, teaching, and social media—inviting others to walk boldly into each new chapter with passion, purpose, and self-love. Her work is a call to live fully, love deeply, and age elegantly—from the inside out. Follow Helen on Instagram.

There's a missing link in our mental health routines, and it has everything to do with our HRV (heart rate variability) and the emotional alignment of our mind and heart.In this week's quickie, we're diving into the science of heart coherence — a powerful physiological state that can regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and help you reconnect to your emotional intuition. This isn't just a woo-woo idea… it's backed by decades of research from the HeartMath Institute, and it shifted how I think about emotional wellness after I tried it in a recent therapy session.Tune in as I recount my experience with HeartMath, a heart rate variability (HRV) tool that measures your emotional state and alignment in real time. We cover how heart-brain coherence works, how it improves emotional resilience, and why regenerative feelings like gratitude, compassion, and connection are more effective than logic or deep breathing alone.Listen to learn about:What heart coherence really means and why it optimizes our mental and physical healthThe science behind HeartMath and HRV (Heart Rate Variability)How emotions like gratitude and humour can instantly improve your physiological coherenceWhy common coping strategies (like walking or box breathing) might not lead to coherence on their ownThe role your heart plays in decision-making, emotional regulation, and stressHow to practice heart-focused breathing and coherence-building techniquesWhether you're feeling burnt out, anxious, disconnected, or out of sync, this one's for you.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Chad Woolner: A dedicated leader in functional medicine, Dr. Chad Woolner champions innovative approaches to healthcare through his work with "Simplified Functional Medicine." As a seasoned practitioner, he explores unique strategies that integrate simple lifestyle habits for profound health benefits. Dr. Andrew Wells: Partnering with Dr. Woolner, Dr. Andrew Wells brings a wealth of experience in functional medicine. His focus on effective habit change empowers patients to revamp their health through manageable and impactful routines, making him an influential figure in this evolving healthcare landscape. Episode Summary: In this episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells unveil the concept of "invisible routines" as pivotal strategies for sustainable lifestyle changes. Often overlooked by practitioners, these routines act as subtle yet powerful drivers of long-term health improvements by reshaping habits and altering identities. The episode zeroes in on simple morning and evening routines that can significantly enhance sleep, dietary habits, exercise consistency, and stress management—all without burdening patients with overwhelming changes. By introducing "Trojan horse strategies," Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells emphasize a unique approach to habit formation that prioritizes simplicity and effectiveness. With insights from James Clear's "Atomic Habits," they discuss how identity and habits form a continuous loop of influence. They explore how practitioners can help patients break free from entrenched identities through structured routines. These adaptable methods aim to imbue patients with a strong sense of control over their health outcomes, thereby fostering a proactive, internal locus of control. Simplified Functional Medicine stands as a testament to how integrative and manageable lifestyle interventions can transform patient care. Key Takeaways: Invisible Routines: Simple, structured morning and evening routines can significantly improve patients' health by quietly altering habits and reinforcing new identities. Trojan Horse Strategies: Approachable lifestyle changes presented as 'challenges' or 'games' make adopting new habits less daunting and more engaging for patients. Locus of Control: Patients gain an internal locus of control as they realize their capability to consciously influence their physiological state through deliberate actions. Gamification and Simplicity: Ensuring the routines are easy, enjoyable, and trackable is crucial to sustaining patient engagement and compliance. Empowering Practitioners: These methodologies elevate practitioners' capabilities to effectively facilitate long-lasting lifestyle changes in their patients. Notable Quotes: "If you can get someone to become someone different, their health issues will go away. That's a promise." – Dr. Andrew Wells "Identity is what reinforces habits, and habits reinforce identity. There's this infinite loop that we see back and forth." – Dr. Chad Woolner "Think of the actual story of the Trojan horse. You have to package it as something that's beneficial to the person receiving it." – Dr. Andrew Wells "You're training your brain to think and realize that you have control and you can affect the way your body feels and functions." – Dr. Andrew Wells "What that starts to do, in a simple and very, very small way, it starts to start cueing and priming the mind… to establish a new sense of identity." – Dr. Chad Woolner Resources: Simplified Functional Medicine James Clear's "Atomic Habits" (referenced conceptually) HeartMath biofeedback device (mentioned as a resource for patient routines) Listeners are encouraged to dive into the full episode to explore these thought-provoking insights in detail. Stay tuned for more engaging content from the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, where innovative healthcare approaches are always on the agenda.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Peter Martone @drsleepright, an educator, injury prevention specialist, and chiropractic expert who has spent the last 25 years transforming health by helping people sleep better through spinal alignment. After a personal injury led him to uncover a surprising link between poor sleep posture and chronic health issues, Dr. Martone developed what he calls the “Corrective Sleeping Position” a method that supports spinal health, optimises vagal tone, and enhances parasympathetic nervous system function. We dive into how nervous system imbalances impact fertility, why improving sleep is about who you become, and how simple shifts in your sleep setup can profoundly change your energy, hormone regulation, and overall wellbeing. Dr. Martone also introduces his animal sleep avatar test and shares practical advice on how to align your body and mind for optimal healing, starting in bed!   Key Takeaways:  The autonomic nervous system plays a central role in fertility, especially the parasympathetic (rest and digest) system. Correct spinal alignment during sleep can reduce nerve interference and improve organ function, including reproductive health. Many fertility challenges can stem from imbalances in vagal tone and nervous system inhibition. Dr. Martone's “Corrective Sleeping Position” helps improve heart rate variability and promotes deeper healing at night. Sleep isn't just about rest—it's about becoming a better, more aligned version of yourself. Guest Bio: Dr. Peter Martone @drsleepright, is an educator, injury prevention specialist, and patient care health practitioner with over 25 years of experience in improving biomechanics and overall wellbeing. As a chiropractor and exercise physiologist, he has long held the belief that spinal structure directly impacts the function of the central nervous system, and that interference in this system is often at the root of chronic health issues. Today, Dr. Martone uses this foundational principle to help people achieve W.A.Y. Better Sleep, a transformative approach that supports healing through sleep posture and nervous system alignment. His groundbreaking techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, Fox News, and more than 50 international podcasts. Dr. Martone now travels the country teaching individuals how to reclaim their health, starting in bed.

Dr. Martone is an educator injury prevention specialist and patient care health practitioner who has been focused on improving patients biomechanics for over 25 years. During his private practice as a chiropractor and exercise physiologist, Dr. Martone always believed that the structure of your spine affects the function of the central nervous system, and this interference is at the root cause of most of the chronic problems people face. Dr. Martone now uses this principle as the cornerstone to help people get WAY better sleep. His techniques have been featured on C-B-S-N-B-C, Fox News and over 50 international podcasts. He currently travels the country teaching people how to regain their health in the bed by getting [00:01:00] way better sleep.  Michelle Oravitz: Welcome to the podcast, Dr. Marone.  Dr. Peter Martone: Thank you so much for having me. I can't wait to dive in. Michelle Oravitz: Me too. So I'm really intrigued. We have not had a chiropractor yet on the show. However I love chiropractic work and I also believe. That it can help a lot with the nervous system. And I often talk about the nervous system and how that impacts fertility. So I'm really excited to have this conversation. And before we get started, I would love for you to give us a bit about your background and how you got into the work that you do, and especially when it comes to [00:02:00] sleep.  Dr. Peter Martone: Yeah. Wow. That's like a, it's a big zigzag. A lot  Michelle Oravitz: It always is.  Dr. Peter Martone: we  Michelle Oravitz: It always  Dr. Peter Martone: wait. I never thought up. I never like, woke up one day and said, oh, you know what? I'm gonna be in the most exciting field of my life. I'm gonna be in the sleep industry. Like, it's so, it was like so boring. But you know, it, so what I was, I'm a chiropractor, I'm an exercise physiologist, a nutritionist. I've always loved the to help people. Improve their function and quality of life by changing their lifestyle. So I was, I was, I was big on helping people, what's called balance, the autonomic nerve nervous system. So there's, in our, in our system, we have organs and our organs are typically not controlled by like the conscious nerves that controlled by like autopilot stuff, which is the sympathetics and the parasympathetics. So what I found a long time ago is that most people when they have chronic illness or dysfunction. They have an imbalance within that autonomic nervous system. So I [00:03:00] spent a good part of my first 15 years in practice helping people balance their autonomic nervous system until finally, and I always had bad back, which isn't really what brought me to chiropractic. What brought me to chiropractic is I got adjusted once and my stomach problem went away, and, and I'm like. I'm a chiropractor, I have a bad spine, and I was in a little bit of an injury mountain biking, and I finally herniated my disc. So I was in the emergency room. I'm sitting there saying, how can I come to this? I've been helping people with back pain and wellness, and I'm now hooked up on Dilaudid because I'm in the emergency room because I'm, I was just, my back finally failed. And in your own brain? at a subconscious level, I felt like I was a failure because I'm like, how can. I not help myself, so not a really good place to be. And then, so out of big lows, a lot of times you can learn from those. And, and I have a very [00:04:00] competitive mind, so I'm like, I gotta figure this out. I have to figure out why I had disc issues and, back problems. So I started reviewing x-rays. I reviewed 3000 x-rays and I found a pattern. And that pattern was I had loss of cervical curve in my neck. And, and due to an adaptation, which I found is that it, it adapts with a, what's called a SOAs, major muscle spasm in your lower back, and the SOAs attaches directly to a disc. So I'm like, holy Mac, maybe I had a neck issue, no pain in my neck. Maybe I had neck issue all this time, and it was messing with my lower back. So I'm like, well, how do I fix that? I've been getting adjusted. I'm like, the only time I can do it is a one third of my life. I ba basically do nothing and that's sleeping. So I started to cha, I was always a side sleeper. I curled up in a ball and my back was always twisted. I had shoulder issues and I'm like, you know what? I bet you it's alignment when I'm sleeping. So I started [00:05:00] to put pillows under my neck and I started to force myself to sleep in a specific position, which we now call the corrective sleeping position. Then once I started to. Have my patients sleep in those positions. Now, their chronic issues I've been dealing with, they're needing me so much less because their body's healing really at night while they sleep, which now, hence now another 10 years later. I am in the sleep industry after 25 years of zigzag, right? Michelle Oravitz: That's so interesting. And so how have you noticed that impact? Well, actually let's take it back to like why chiropractic works, not just for the spine. I think people think, just like you said, you went for for back pain or for the stomach pain, or you ended up getting your stomach issues resolved. People don't, may not realize that chiropractic work. Can impact [00:06:00] internal organs, systems and other things other than just your back.  Dr. Peter Martone: Yeah. So let's look at, so this is gonna be a really different way for people to think, okay, but I'm going to make it and break it down into a very simple analogy. If you go to into a room and there are lights in the room, and then you take the dimmer switch and you dim the switch down to 50%. Somebody walks into this room, they're like, wow, it's really, it's not light in this room. Now what you would do is you go to the Dimmi switch and you turn it up. Well, now in our current paradigm, people don't even look at the dimmi switch as the problem. They look at the light bulb, which is the organ. Nobody looking at the nervous system going to that organ. They all look at the organ. So they'll put new bulbs in there. They'll put a transformer in there that puts more energy at the bulb when. The pressure, the, the, the li the, the dim switch being down is an issue. [00:07:00] So the spine is basically your fuse panel to the body and, and it's set up where these nerves come out of these holes in the spine. And if the spine's out of alignment or your hips out of alignment or your neck's out of alignment and you have these curves, you're putting pressure on a nerve. There's research that's been done. Pressure equal to the weight of a quarter on a nerve will cause a nerve to malfunction by 60%, leaving it only with 40% function. So think about that. If the nerve is only functioning at 40%, how can the organ be healthy? And nobody on the planet looks at that as cause of disease, except chiropractic. Everybody looks at it like, oh, you just get your spine adjusted 'cause you're in pain. I was never in the industry for pain. And I tell my patients, listen, I'm a little different. I said, look, I wanna help you with the pain, but if you are walking with one shoe on and one shoe off, you're gonna have back pain. If I just focus on [00:08:00] your back and I don't create it, don't fix the imbalance, then you're just gonna be dependent on what I do. And that's the same thing. Now, when we help our clients with chronic illness and fertility and breathing issues and digestion issues, the first thing we do is align the spine, turn up the dimmer switch. Then we see what happens. Internal organs. Michelle Oravitz: Interesting. And so what I know that obviously. Because I know in Chinese medicine there's so many different reasons that cause one thing, so we look at the root cause for fertility conditions. What have you seen so far? I.  Dr. Peter Martone: That is so great. So that's a great question. Now when within our sleep system we the, the, I guess you can say the crust. That, that connects all the, all the other, like everybody give anything that most of the experts tell you, you can Google, right? Oh yeah. Room temperature and beds and all this stuff. It's all [00:09:00] Googleable. But the crust that holds all of the, be the missing pieces, the crust, and that's, we live our life through our nervous system and everything we say, do function, feel, happens through that system. So when you look at fertility, don't look at it as the infertility, as the issue. That's the outcome. Look at it as. What controls fertility? People would say hormones, right? What controls hormones? Nervous system. Okay. What specific nervous system? That nervous system is called the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is your thrive nervous system verse, your survive nervous system, which is your sympathetics. So you can either run from a tiger and you're in survive 'cause your body needs to get away from it. You can sleep and thrive. So our bodies thrive at night and survive during the day. So it needs to be a balance. The three systems that are controlled by your Thrive system. And when you have infertility, you have [00:10:00] an issue with all three of these systems. It's immune system, it's digestive system. It's reproductive system, so anybody that has an issue with one or of them has an issue with all three of them because you have an issue with parasympathetic inhibition. So, so it's not that you're just all sympathetic dominant because you're, you know, you're, you're super excited, you're inhibited because you're dimmer switch is down 50% and nobody's addressing it. So most of the time what we see with our, our patients that have infertility, they have issues at the atlas, which is right at the brainstem, and it's due to loss of function there, or it's down in the Coio plexus, which is in the, which is in the, in the, in the coic, which is in the pelvis. So a lot of times it's pain associated, but there's also digestion issues. There's eczema, there's skin issues, there's all of these other issues. But all, all that's telling us is the nervous system imbalance. Michelle Oravitz: That's interesting. It's interesting that you pointed [00:11:00] behind the ears because that's where you can stimulate the vagus nerve.  Dr. Peter Martone: Correct. That's, that is the reason why, 'cause it's true to the carotid sheath. There's three nerves that go through there. It's the vagus, the glossopharyngeal, and the spinal accessories. So, lot, lot of times if, if a, a woman has infertility, she has definitely a loss of cervical curve, but. Her hands might fall asleep or she has a thyroid issue also because of that forward posture, or she gets reflux because of the upper portion of the stomach is also addressed by the carina, which is, you know, the cough reflux Michelle Oravitz: Interesting. And do you see this for men? Men as well?  Dr. Peter Martone: I do, but a different manifestation of symptomatology. A lot of times that's gonna be a low testosterone. That's gonna be like especially with men with the prostate is a, is a big issue at that area, but men, women, some, a lot of times will have it. We're, we're seeing it now more than ever in women. I have my own theories on it, actually. I believe it's covid [00:12:00] vaccine, but they we're seeing a lot of heart palpitations, so we're seeing a lot of imbalance within the arrhythmia of the heart. That's why I am I have these rings on. I always measure my heart rate variability and that's what  Michelle Oravitz: Oh yeah. I love that. The HeartMath.  Dr. Peter Martone: clients. Yeah, absolutely. Michelle Oravitz: Yeah, so, so talk about that. I talk about it a lot too, but I always like to get different perspectives. 'cause I feel like even if it's the same topic, if somebody else talks about it, you might get something different. So,  Dr. Peter Martone: This is so great. So the, so just to understand what heart rate variability is, is your heart needs to beat. And when you're running from a tiger, your body wants a very rhythmic beat so that the muscle in the brain can really consistently know the amount of sugar that the organs are getting, right? So the, so when you're sympathetic dominant, which means you're in survival, you have a very rhythmic heart rate, which means if you, let's say, have a a heartbeat of 60 beats per minute, every second you have a beat. And that's what [00:13:00] people think is good. That is really bad to have that chronically because you put the same stress on the heart and the heart will fail. So when you're, when you're in thrive or you're parasympathetically dominant, your body's ready for anything. So the heart rate is very in irregular interval. So instead of every second, maybe it's 0.75 seconds. Then the next one is 1.1 second. Then the next one's 0.5 seconds. Then the next one's 0.8 seconds. So it's done. So you're, you're spreading the stress around the heart, which is a very healthy thing to do for the heart. But what that's telling us is when you are, when your heart rate variability is high, your parasympathetic dominant. When your heart rate variability is low, you're sympathetic dominant. So most people that have dysfunction, especially in the, in the autonomic nervous system or in the parasympathetic nervous system like fertility, they're going to have low HRV readings because they're going to be [00:14:00] sympathetic dominant. Whether it's due to parasympathetic inhibition because you're, you're turning, you're putting pressure at the brainstem on the vagus nerve, or it's due to you just so stressed that you never turn this on into weak muscle, whether it is, you can analyze that through these trackers and then, and then we can then, let's say meditate and then connect the subconscious brain to a scent every time you meditate and then take a heart rate variability reading. Then know what improves your high rate variability during the day, then connect you to a scent any other time. That's a scent. So when you smell the scent, your HRV comes down and then you can start to retrain the  Michelle Oravitz: It's an association.  Dr. Peter Martone: Yes. Michelle Oravitz: That's interesting 'cause I've said that before. You know, that's what in India they used to put the incense on during meditation. So immediately when you smell it, it puts you in that state so that it's quicker to get into a deeper state of meditation. And it's kind of [00:15:00] interesting how really the heart becomes so adaptive when we're in this rest and digest mode. The parasympathetic. And it's also more creative in a sense because it's not, it doesn't act predictably. It's creative based on the needs, And that's  Dr. Peter Martone: becomes creative when  Michelle Oravitz: and your body becomes creative,  Dr. Peter Martone: then yeah, the mind becomes creative because you're taking the blood from the, what I call the immature, ignorant child brain, right? Or the Yeah, the, the, the, the  Michelle Oravitz: reptilian  Dr. Peter Martone: Yeah. Reptilian brain. And it starts to transfer it to where really, where you can get true inspiration and innovation in, in, in, in that, in the back portion of the brain. So you can, you can start to think better and consequently. You, we, my, my daughter's now working on one of my companies and she's like, dad, I don't care what's mindset mastery? Because we have five core elements of sleep. I'm like, honey, mind [00:16:00] mindset mastery is like everything, right? If you, if you can master your thoughts, remember thoughts, create an adaptation within the nervous system. So if you want to. Be sympathetic, dominant, fair anxiety, financial stress, relationship, stress, hate, envy. Those are sympathetic emotions. If you want parasympathetic emotions, focus on gratitude, love, caring, prayer. Those are parasympathetic emotions. So if you can master the mind and focus the thought, which you can. Then you can focus the neurology, which is the real step in bringing back control in chronic illness. Michelle Oravitz: So fascinating. I love this topic and I love how you could look at it in so many different ways, but there's so many different schools of thought and they all kind of point to the same thing, even like ancient. Teachings and then now some of the current [00:17:00] research that's coming out. And it's fascinating because it really is something that can be measured, like you said, with the heart rate variability and also the heart brain coherence, and that they do actually communicate, you know, there's a communication between the two and the fact that people do have a choice in this, I think that that is often missed. I think that people don't realize that they actually have a choice.  Dr. Peter Martone: Yeah, and I think that that's, you know, that is a great. Way to say it, right? You do have a choice. And, and like I told my daughter, I'm like, you have a choice on what to think, right? And, and, and, and what we focus on is what we become.  Michelle Oravitz: Mm-hmm.  Dr. Peter Martone: When you are looking like, think about this. So I'm not, we haven't even talked about sleep. I've only talked about my intention. My intention is balance, the autonomic nervous system and health. Sleep is, you can't just put your head on a pillow. Buy. Buy a new what? Buy a new pillow. Buy a new [00:18:00] bed, buy a new sleep supplement and get better sleep. So what we talk about is who do you have to become to do what you need to do during the day? And then sleep is a byproduct of living a healthy life in our intention is everything. Our intention is balance in the nervous system. Yes, I wanna help you sleep, but I didn't enter the sleep industry to make you a better sleeper. I'm there now. I entered the sleep industry to allow you to become a healthier individual. So who are you when you're waking up? I want that to be a better version of you, A more energetic version of you. So we have this animal sleep avatar test that we have people take. It's a free test. And what animal do you sleep like? And then based on what animal you sleep, like I can give you. The tips specific to how you sleep and tell you how you need to fall asleep because each animal needs to fall asleep differently. Michelle Oravitz: That's fascinating. That's so, so I'd love to hear how you approach sleep altogether, like how [00:19:00] your method works to doing that. You'd mentioned obviously figuring out really how you sleep, what type of animal but how do you really help people? What are the different steps you take them through?  Dr. Peter Martone: So the, the, so think about, think about the, let, let's look at sleep as an analogy. This is a analogy that we're actually putting into our way Better Sleep program now is think about it as a, a battery charger. Okay? First thing you do with the battery charger or a charger is you have set up. So first have to set it all up, plug it in. You have to, you know, do a whole bunch of stuff to set up. Set up is how you fall asleep. Okay? I have three steps. It's called the triune of sleep, so we put people to sleep. Then we have the five core elements of sleep, which is when you're sleeping, are you waking up refreshed? How much. Is your energy being recharged? Are you only recharge it from, you know, zero to 25%, [00:20:00] 25 to 50%, 50 to 75? Or are you waking up like me? You are freaking ready for the day because your battery is so full. So most of the time where, where it, it's too complicated to dive into the five core elements 'cause there's just so much. That you have to do. It's, it's, it's, it's be, do, have, it's changing your life, eating right, being fit, and thinking well. So, so we, we have different roadmaps on every month. We change a different lifestyle habit to be, make somebody become healthier and then a better sleeper. But I think really where, where the most applicable advice I can give you right now is the setup in talking about what we call the triune of sleep. This is what 99% of the people on the planet get wrong. And this is why really my first step was figuring out the triune. And then the other step, you know, is different. So the triune of sleep is [00:21:00] this. You have three things at play when you need, when you're falling asleep, you have the body, the need, the needs of these three things, the needs of the body. The needs of the subconscious brain and then the needs of the conscious brain. Okay? The body wants alignment. It just doesn't want to be in pain. It just, it needs to be in a pain-free situation. The average person tosses and turns 20 to 40 times a night because the body's in pain. That's it. That's why we toss and turn, so. The next thing is the subconscious brain. The subconscious control sleep. The body pain will interfere with sleep or the subconscious control, sleep, the subconscious need. Safety. The sub body just wants to feel safe and protected. I grew up in Malden, Massachusetts and it was on a busy street, and every once in a [00:22:00] while the kids would bang on my window to play a prank. I was on the front, front porch, so I thought when I went to sleep I was going to get abducted every single night. So the only reason I could, I would be able to fall asleep is I'd have to put all my stuffed animals around me. I'd curl up in a ball to feel safe, then I would be able to fall asleep. So think about that. When you put your kids to sleep, there's subconscious need for sleep, and the reason why they wanna sleep with you is safety. And now the. The conscious brain, it's where everything screws up. It's like, oh my God, I wanna feel comfortable. You're not comfortable 'cause the body isn't comfortable. What you mistake for comfort is safety for the con subconscious brain. So the conscious brain screws everything up. So we have a whole host of things that we do to get people mindset mastery, to get them out of their consciousness, and we can go over some of those. So to set the try put, most people put themselves to sleep with their conscious brain thinking they're comfortable. We want to [00:23:00] reverse the triune, put the body in an aligned position. I, I'll show you that in a second. It's called the corrective sleeping position. This position inherently is unsafe for the subconscious brain. That is where people take an animal sleep avatar test to develop to, to identify the amount of safety that needs to be created by each avatar. So you have a gorilla and armadillo and an ostrich. Ostrich, it wants to stick its head under the ground. Right. It is so timid. You know, that's where abuse relationships, those are timid, timid people that need so much safety created. You know, when you sleep, it's gonna be very difficult to get them to sleep in a line position. Then you have the armadillos, which are like 60% of the population. They curl, they, they, they need safety, but they curl up in balls. They, they like to have their, you know, on their side with that pressure on their  Michelle Oravitz: That's me.  Dr. Peter Martone: And then I can tell 'cause your head's tilted [00:24:00] and then, and then  Michelle Oravitz: Oh, is it  Dr. Peter Martone: it is, and then when, and then the gorillas, they can, you know, they can fall asleep anywhere. So, so depending on what avatar you are, then we give you advice and tips based on your avatar to  Michelle Oravitz: husband's a gorilla  Dr. Peter Martone: yeah. Right.  Michelle Oravitz: anywhere  Dr. Peter Martone: Yeah.  Michelle Oravitz: with his mouth open.  Dr. Peter Martone: And then and then, and, and then, and then from there, then we teach you to, to shut down the conscious brain. Michelle Oravitz: Got it. That's interesting. So what's the proper position?  Dr. Peter Martone: All right. Is this, is this on video?  Michelle Oravitz: Well, it is for some people  Dr. Peter Martone: Okay. So then what you'll do is  Michelle Oravitz: you guys could check, check it out on YouTube if you wanna check this out.  Dr. Peter Martone: and then you explain what I'm doing. Okay.  Michelle Oravitz: Mm-hmm.  Dr. Peter Martone: Alright, so the position is typically, hold on, I gotta, I don't, I've shorted an out outline. Alright, I'll  Michelle Oravitz: Okay. He's moving away from his mic, so I'll have [00:25:00] to explain. I.  Dr. Peter Martone: Okay. All what I have right now is I have a a neck nest. That's the pillow we created, but you can do this with a soft down pillow or, and, or, you know, any type of  Michelle Oravitz: so he's got basically a pillow. that looks like it's gonna support his neck, Right?  Dr. Peter Martone: Yep. So the one thing with sleep is, or, or anytime you support something in the body, you weaken it. I, that's why, you know, sneakers or art supports, it weakens the foot. Back support weakens the back chair. Support weakens the back. A pillow defined as a support for your head. Anytime you support your head, you weaken the cervical curve. So what you wanna do is you wanna support the neck, but let let the head hang off the back of the pillow so it's not supported  Michelle Oravitz: So basically just have a pillow for your neck.  Dr. Peter Martone: And then you don't want the head supported because the weight of [00:26:00] your head will cause a, a sense of distraction. And that distraction will reinforce the curve in the neck, aligning it, improving vagal tone, improving the function of the vagus nerve. So just by sleeping in this position, you're gonna improve higher rate variability by 10 to 30%. Michelle Oravitz: Interesting. Okay, so he's basically laying on his back and he is got something that looks like a bolster, but it's soft and it surrounds his neck. He put, he has it supporting his neck and it surrounds on the side, and then his head is not supported behind it. It's just laying back.  Dr. Peter Martone: Yes. And that's, that's the design that we created with the Neck Nest. So I'll, this is, so I'll show you now how to do it with like a sound. It would be. It has to be a soft, soft pillow. This is what I used before we created the ness. So I, I would put pillows on their edges [00:27:00] and see a pillow is support for your head. You do not wanna support your head when you're sleeping on your back. You want to support your neck and allow the head to hang off the back. Michelle Oravitz: Okay, so now he's using it with a pillow, but having the pillow on its side, so it's basically not laying flat and it's a very soft pillow, so he's able to adjust it.  Dr. Peter Martone: of your head is unsupported. That is really, really, really important. Michelle Oravitz: That's interesting. I'm gonna try that.  Dr. Peter Martone: It's,  Michelle Oravitz: I'm gonna try that.  Dr. Peter Martone: That's awesome.  Michelle Oravitz: So you gotta train yourself to be a back sleeper.  Dr. Peter Martone: Yes. Well, you have to train yourself to fall asleep in that position. Remember, when you are trying to start to get to that type of mindset where you gotta be a back sleeper, you're not in control. All you have to train yourself to do is fall asleep in that [00:28:00] position and go take your animal avatar test, and then it'll tell you how to, how you need to create safety to start in that position because you won't be able to shut off the brain. Actually, you know what? Let me give you another tip. Because this is important. If you're gonna start to fall asleep in this position, a lot of times people will feel like they're falling backwards or they, they, they'll, they'll, they'll lose their breath because their body does not like that extension, because of the vestibular. You feel like you're, you know, you, you're, you're, you're,  Michelle Oravitz: you're not supported.  Dr. Peter Martone: Yeah. Yeah. Your, well, your body your body's brain or valid system doesn't like it. So you can use either a bed wedge or something and sleep slightly sitting up.  Michelle Oravitz: Mm-hmm.  Dr. Peter Martone: another way that I do this  Michelle Oravitz: So he's saying to put a bed wedge if that's the case. If it makes you feel uncomfortable Or not safe and supported, you can use a bed wedge. [00:29:00] And then on top of that, use that neck support that he was mentioning before.  Dr. Peter Martone: if you don't have a bed wedge, which a lot of people don't, you can put two pillows. See how I have two pillows down there Michelle Oravitz: Yeah. So instead of a bed wedge, you could put two pillows to support your back.  Dr. Peter Martone: and then  Michelle Oravitz: So that it elevates you  Dr. Peter Martone: And then you're sleeping elevated. Michelle Oravitz: got it. Yeah. So you could elevate yourself to make That, an easier way to fall asleep. Interesting. Dr. Peter Martone: Yeah. that  Michelle Oravitz: you got me curious. And that helps your vagus nerve and it helps get you in parasympathetic mode, which helps your hormones. Gets you in creative mode, which of course the physical creativity is your fertility. Dr. Peter Martone: And that you can't Google,  Michelle Oravitz: No, that's really fascinating. So how can people find this or really find out how [00:30:00] to like learn all of these amazing techniques?  Dr. Peter Martone: they can take they can go to Dr. S-L-E-E-P-R-I-G-H-T, that's dr. Sleep right.com. They can take a free animal sleep avatar test and then, then you're in our world, you'll get some you'll get anytime we do like sleep things, you can do that. And then there you can find out about our programs. And then if you wanna dive deeper and, and look into Neck Nest, there's you can get a link for to Neck Nest from there. Michelle Oravitz: That's so interesting. Dr. Peter Marone. This is really, really fascinating. I've never had anybody come on here and talk about it with also, I mean, first of all, talk about this subject, but also with such a unique approach to sleeping.  Dr. Peter Martone: Yeah, thank you. It's we put a lot of, a lot of sleepless nights into it and you know, now it's, it's act two, it's, my mission is to change the way the world sleeps. Helping them get way better sleep. And the way [00:31:00] is awakening the full potential of a well-rested, aligned you and the you's important. It's who do you need to become to have the be be the best version of you?

Is your gut health silently sabotaging your hormones? In this must-listen episode of Vitality Made Simple, Dr. Debbie Ozment, DDS, sits down with Dr. Lorraine Maita, a holistic longevity doctor with over 40 years of experience, to explore the powerful connection between gut health, bone strength, hormonal balance, and overall well-being.Dr. Maita dives into the often-overlooked topic of constipation and its impact on detoxification and nutrient absorption—likening a sluggish digestive system to a “backed-up toilet.” She introduces her practical "choose, chew, and chill" method to optimize digestion and explains why bile is a key player in hormone detoxification. The conversation then shifts to stress and sleep—two lifestyle factors deeply affecting hormone health. Dr. Maita shares the science behind HeartMath, a heart-focused breathing technique that helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system and improve stress resilience. She also breaks down her top sleep hygiene tips, including maintaining a cool, dark room and avoiding late-night snacking to protect melatonin production and your circadian rhythm.When it comes to hormone replacement therapy (HRT), Dr. Maita clears the confusion. She explains the difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormones, emphasizing that transdermal bioidentical estrogen doesn't carry the clotting risks associated with oral synthetic versions. She also shares recent research that shows estrogen alone doesn't increase breast cancer risk—while synthetic progestin does—making bioidentical progesterone a safer choice.For women navigating midlife hormone shifts, Dr. Maita emphasizes that personalized, bioidentical HRT—combined with good gut health and lifestyle changes—can dramatically improve quality of life. She invites listeners to take a hormone quiz and check out her course, which is filled with the latest studies and expert guidance on HRT.Visit my website DrDebbieOzment.com for valuable free downloads.

Our special guest for today's New Year episode is Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., innovator, psychophysiologist and director of research at HeartMath® Institute Research Center. One of Rollin's primary areas of focus is the physiology of emotion, investigating the mechanisms by which emotions influence cognitive processes, behavior and health. Hear his transformative journey from a communications engineer to a trailblazer in consciousness studies. He shares transformative early experiences with Doc Childre, founder of HeartMath, which ignited a profound heart awakening and reshaped his life's mission. Rollin reveals how the heart's electromagnetic field communicates emotional states between individuals and can synchronize heart rhythms. We discuss why it's important for people to consider their “emotional diet", as he guides us through the intricate connections between the heart and brain, shedding light on the heart's crucial role in intuition and decision-making. We unpack the science behind how emotions like love and appreciation can shift physiological states and why heart-brain coherence is key to emotional balance. We also discuss the groundbreaking work of Mae-Wan Ho, Ph.D., on the multidimensional quantum coherence of living systems. Learn about the brain of the heart, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS), and how HeartMath techniques can enhance intuition and increase synchronicity. Rollin explains the implications of these phenomena for energy healing practices and global, collective coherency. Furthermore, he provides practical steps for self transformation from mindfulness to the awareness of what he calls “the vibrational spectrum of love”. Whether you're intrigued by the science of heart coherence or its broader implications regarding human interconnectedness, this episode offers a compelling look at the heart's profound role in our existence and the science behind it.Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., is director of research at HeartMath® Institute Research Center, a professor at Florida Atlantic University, and a psychophysiologist. He has been with HeartMath Institute since its founding by Doc Childre in 1991. Rollin's critical research on heart rate variability and heart-rhythm coherence has gained international attention in the scientific community and is helping to change long-held perceptions about the heart's role in health, behavior, performance and quality of life.heartmath.comLiked what you heard?

Podcast Show Notes Episode Title: From Pissed Off to Poised: Understanding Anger and Trauma with Dr. Arpita Gupta de Palma Episode Summary: Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're thrilled to be joined by Dr. Arpita Gupta de Palma, a pediatrician, trauma-informed physician coach, and podcaster. Dr. Arpita first joined us in 2022 to discuss anger (Episode 37), and now she's back to dive even deeper into the topic. In this episode, we explore how trauma influences anger responses, why anger can act as an alert system, and how understanding these connections can lead to healthier emotional regulation. Dr. Arpita also shares insights into her new podcast, From Pissed Off to Poised, which combines practical tools for anger and time management. This conversation is packed with relatable examples, actionable strategies, and a generous dose of grace for anyone who struggles with frustration, anger, or the fast pace of life. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How trauma—past or generational—affects anger and emotional responses. Why anger is an alert system signaling core value violations or perceived threats. The biological and psychological mechanisms behind anger, including the role of the heart-brain connection. Strategies to pause and identify underlying emotions behind anger (e.g., disappointment, fear, or frustration). How anger develops in childhood and how early experiences shape adult reactions. The impact of trauma on leadership and how curiosity can enhance interpersonal dynamics. Key Highlights: Recognizing Trauma as Physicians: Training in medical school, residency, and beyond can carry trauma that shapes how we respond to stress and anger in professional and personal settings. Understanding Anger's Evolutionary Role: Our brain's survival mechanisms can confuse emotional threats with physical ones, leading to reactive anger. Generational Trauma: Trauma can be passed down through generations, influencing our responses in ways we might not consciously understand. Transforming Anger: Identifying and naming underlying emotions helps reduce the intensity of anger and shift to more productive reactions. Dr. Arpita Gupta de Palma's Podcast: From Pissed Off to Poised is a limited-series podcast that explores anger, trauma, and time management. Packed with actionable tips and insights, it's perfect for anyone looking to better understand their emotions and find practical solutions for managing life's pressures.

Send us a textEmily Finnell returns to the podcast, sharing her deeply personal and emotional journey through the postpartum phase of motherhood. With a background as a certified HeartMath coach and former special education teacher, Emily opens up about the emotional turbulence she faced post-C-section, grappling with isolation, self-doubt, and societal pressures that often push new mothers to "bounce back" too quickly. Through candid conversations, we explore how connecting with one's own body can bring peace and alignment, and Emily shares the tools she developed to cultivate self-trust and well-being in both parenting and personal relationships.Listeners are introduced to the transformative practice of embracing and naming emotions aloud—a potent method for navigating the intense feelings that arise during motherhood. Emily shares how acknowledging emotions without getting lost in their narrative can lead to clarity and calmness, even in high-stress situations. We also discuss the importance of community support and its impact on mental health, contrasting the security found in shared experiences with the isolation that can occur without a supportive network.Emily's insights extend to the power of heart coherence, emphasizing personal empowerment rather than controlling others. She shares a heart coherence exercise, illustrating its benefits in everyday life, such as setting boundaries or calming heated discussions. The conversation moves towards accepting a "new normal" after life changes, with Emily introducing her coaching services and courses aimed at helping individuals align with their purpose through somatic and emotional work.

If you've been in a rut lately, maybe it's time to rewire your thinking patterns. Our brains are a fascinating thing… We are so quick to believe that our thoughts are all real. That what swirls in our brain is the truth that your entire perception of your life experience is built upon. But what if it isn't fully true? My special all-star guest today is author Thomas Sterner and he's simplifying how to rewire your thinking patterns. You'll gain a better understanding of your conscious and unconscious thinking to open your mindset to new ways of perceiving what's happening in your life and all around you. Here's how.  My special all-star guest today is Thomas Sterner and he's simplifying how to rewire your thinking patterns. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: Why humans are “victims of automated thinking” vs realizing that we are the master creator of our thoughts. How to better understand the language of your subconscious thoughts. What “deliberate thinking” is and why he believes it can give us emotional freedom. How to tell the difference between a reaction and a response. …And ultimately, he shares a concept called “Heartmath” and how it can help you to effectively communicate with others. When you peel back the layers of the onion, you realize that how you perceive what's happening to you in your life is literally affecting every other aspect of how you move through life. Even the notion of “what's happening TO you” vs “what's happening FOR you” is one to take a moment to consider. Are you always on the defense, with your guard up and very rarely letting people (and opportunities) in?  Q: Are you ready to learn how to rewire your thinking patterns? If yes, this one is for you.
