Podcasts about mind body health

If you have been struggling with chronic health conditions, I see you and I know firsthand how difficult it can be holistically. While you heal your body, it is important to take optimal care of your mindset. In fact, your mindset can greatly influence your healing process. In this episode, I've compiled some sage mind-body healing advice from four expert podcast guests - Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, Ajay Tejasvi, Dr. Josh Axe, and Dr. Anthony Balduzzi. It's time to build a better mindset - you can and WILL heal.  

It's Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! We have a special episode we are bringing back with Yogi Cameron and Yogini Jaima, Ayurveda experts and practitioners, to give us the breakdown of how much better our lives can be with mental, physical, and spiritual connection. If you didn't know, Ayurveda is the science behind achieving the health of your body, and dives deeper into understanding how the elements and environment empower you to maintain optimal health and balance. We also explore how simply addressing unhealthy habits and subtle changes in your routine can restore both the body and mind. Yogi Cameron gives us the first steps to change our lives, and it starts with behavioral habits and asking yourself, “what are you willing to do?” Tune in to reclaim your power and live a more balanced, healthy life! Healers & Heal-Liners Ayurveda is the science behind achieving the health of your body, while Yoga is the science behind achieving the health of your mind. They are sister sciences that go hand and hand.  Take control of your own life, don't give your power away.  The core of your problem can be as simple as your unhealthy habits in everyday life. Address those, what are you willing to change?  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop my Macy's Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/   Yogi Cameron & Yogini Jaima Resources:  Link to Website: https://www.inspireliving.co  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yogicameron/?hl=en  https://www.instagram.com/yogini_jaima/?hl=en  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Everything in your world is changing, including your body, your relationships with other people, and of course, your future! It can be nerve wracking, and it's also an amazing and wonderful time to embrace.

Sometimes I struggle with giving a title to my podcasts... I try to figure out how I can hook people in so that they will listen to something that I find so freaking fascinating and I try to implore how crazy important the topic is.The subject of fascia BLOWS my mind, and I want everyone to listen to this!!Fascia is finally become a more widely discussed area of health and wellness, but it still does not receive the attention it deserves in my opinion.It literally impacts EVERYTHING to do with our mind-body system, something that Anna Rahe of GST Body has known for decades.Anna developed a method of movement years ago when she was trying to heal and understand the root of her chronic pain and digestive and lung problems, despite being a yoga and pilates instructor.She decided that spending 2 to 3 hours per night to undo her pain ignited during the day just wasn't going to fit into her life forever.From this pain, introspection and great curiosity, GST Body was born, and through her methods and tools, she has helped many find ease and vitality in their bodies.This is the first of hopefully several conversations... I have many more questions and don't even know yet the full potential of where this topic can go, but I want to find out!In this interview, Anna tells us about:Her pain that started intensely at 18 years old after releasing emotional traumaHow all her certifications as a trainer, yoga and pilates instructor did not help her and in fact exacerbated her problemsHer revelation that fascia was the thing she was missingHow she learned how to get the results she was seeking via movement rather than with the tools she was usingJunk movement = junk fasciaHow focusing on movement brings permanence to positive changeFascia being our 'energetic' system and is a 'distributive' systemHow unhealthy fascia is an electrical block to the body as plugged arteries are a block to the circulatory systemNot all fascia changes yield the same resultsHow fascia has the greatest sensory network of all tissueHow the 5 different mechanical receptors require different inputsHow the fascial net is wired to the nervous system netThe need for many types of movementHow the body remodels according to its influencesHow frequently we need short movement breaksThe fact that most people have over-contracted fasciaHow fascia likes wide ranges of motion and the three types of action it requiresThe three elements that fascia requiresHow rolling doesn't move the pump of fasciaThe need for a variety of movementIf muscle is over-contracting, fascia is under-animatingMy story of releasing my SI joint after days of it being stuckThe need to contract muscles in a certain sequence in order for fascia to flowHow our biomechanics are no longer naturalIf tissue is not gliding, adrenals are held captive3 tips for what you can start incorporating dailyThe reflex of fascia that initiates the desire to moveHow your anxiety and pain are alarms for you to move your fasciaPoints for healing bad hipsNew understanding fo the brain-body relationshipand SO much more!This is the tip of the iceberg and I can't wait to get into more. I love this topic so much as it invites us to get curious and know ourselves at a deeper level; when we own it, it is totally empowering and up to us.That is powerful!We depend far too much on outside influences. It's time to take it ALL back... and knowing your fascia, I believe, is a path to knowing your SELF.Please share all around and please check out my store at: https://www.sovereigncollective.org/shop/To find out more about Anna and her offerings:Website: https://gstbody.com/Website: https://www.annarahe.com/You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGSTBodyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annaraheofgst/If you like what you heard here then please share!

As you know, I encourage all fertility patients to support themselves throughout their fertility journey from a mind and body perspective. I'm beyond delighted to have Alice D.

She now teaches people strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and distress through relaxation, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and yoga. Research continues to show that mind/body infertility programs not only improves psychological symptoms, but also increases pregnancy rates.

March 28, 2023--Host Dr. Casey Johnston speaks with Dr. Matthew Swain, family medicine physician and  Chief Medical Officer at Mendocino Community Health Clinics.

We take another deep dive into the world of psychedelic research with our guest, Brian Anderson, this week. Is there a place for group therapy with psychedelic medicine and treatment? Brian just concluded a clinical trial to study just that. Working with HIV/AIDS survivors, Brian and his team focused on the efficacy of group therapy following psychedelic treatment. The outcome was generally positive, not just for the trial participants but also for Brian and his fellow researchers, who have a renewed curiosity and optimism about what we can offer those seeking help from past trauma. The burning question on everyone's mind: will the government allow psychedelic research and trials to continue? Tune in to find out!“I'm certainly more optimistic about how we can find ways to make psychedelic healing fit into conventional settings and do that in respectful and safe ways.”Brian Anderson, MD MSc, is a psychiatrist and assistant clinical professor in the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. He is affiliated with the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics and UCSF Neuroscape. In 2018 he led a pilot clinical trial of psilocybin-assisted group therapy for demoralized long-term AIDS survivors. His research includes clinical trials as well as observational methods to assess the safety, clinical implementation, and regulation of the uses of psychedelics and other controlled substances.Show notes:* How Brian Anderson got involved with Psychedelic research* Why research focuses on Psilocybin rather than LSD* Is psychedelic group therapy in the near future?* Brian's study with HIV/AIDS survivors* The impact dosage and preparatory work has on trail participants* Some unwanted consequences to psilocybin treatments* The headline of his trail* Will the government allow psychedelic research and trails to continue?Links and references:* Psychedelic Wisdom* Psychedelic Medicine* So You Want to be a Psychedelic Researcher?* clinicaltrials.gov* Pragmatic Trial of Psilocybin Therapy in Palliative CareWant the episode transcript and video?

Sex work is a complex and multifaceted topic that is often surrounded by stigma and misconceptions.

We will have an open and honest discussion about the industry and the impact of current laws on sex workers and sex trafficking victims. Join us as we tackle this important topic. Together, we can work to make a safer, healthier, and better society for all.“Decriminalizing sex work does not lead to a proliferation of folks engaging in sex work or trafficking in any way. On the contrary, decriminalization promotes health and safety, and we need to be realistic about that.”Ariela Moscowitz is communications director at Decriminalize Sex Work (DSW), national organization pursuing a state-by-state strategy to end the prohibition of consensual adult prostitution in the United States.

From exploring the philosophical history and the substances great philosophers may have used to how these principles apply in today's world, Peter brings light to a field that is often overlooked in today's psychedelic renaissance.“People did say I had a lot to lose about 10 years ago, they said 'don't mention this it's a career killer.' But actually, it sort of made my career many ways.”Dr Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes is philosopher of mind and metaphysics who specializes in the thought of Spinoza, Nietzsche, and Whitehead, and in fields pertaining to altered and panpsychological states of consciousness.

Our topics include: how the medicine affects consciousness, proper dosing and safety, frequency of experience, potential negative effects, who should not take the medicine, anxiety regarding end-of-life transitioning, effects on sexuality, and so much more. This is a must-listen for all those interested in this topic.“The point of psychedelic experiences is to have a good life.”Jahan Khamsehzadeh, Ph.D. completed his dissertation on psychedelics at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco. His book, “The Psilocybin Connection: Psychedelics, the Transformation of Consciousness, and Evolution of the Planet—An Integral Approach” was published by North Atlantic Books and distributed Spring 2022 by Penguin Random House. The Audible version became the #1 new audiobook on mushrooms on Amazon. He earned his Masters in Consciousness and Transformative Studies from John F. Kennedy University, and his Bachelors from the University of Arizona with a major in Philosophy and minors in Physics, Psychology, and Mathematics. Aside from academic work, he has undergone several major trainings, including graduating from the Hakomi somatic-psychotherapy program and training within the Mazatec mushroom tradition. He assisted the Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy Certificate training at CIIS for two years and mentored at the newly emerging School of Consciousness Medicine. He is a consultant for the Synthesis Psychedelic Guide training and a teacher for the PsiloHealth psychedelic peer supporter training. He works as a facilitator for legal psilocybin mushrooms ceremonies in Jamaica with Atman Retreats and offers integration sessions as part of his private practice. Jahan has been on dozens of podcasts talking about different cross section on psychedelics—from therapy and history to sexuality and development.

As you know, I encourage all fertility patients to support themselves throughout their fertility journey from a mind and body perspective. I'm beyond delighted to have Alice D. Domar, Ph.D back on the podcast to talk about how to support fertility with mind/body strategies and techniques. She is the Executive Director of the Domar Centers for Mind/Body Health and the Director of Integrative Care at Boston IVF. She is an Associate Professor Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology, at Harvard Medical School.   Dr. Domar established the first ever Mind/Body Center for Women's Health ~ as well as the very first Mind/Body Program for Fertility. She now teaches people strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and distress through relaxation, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and yoga. Research continues to show that mind/body infertility programs not only improves psychological symptoms, but also increases pregnancy rates. We will be talking about all of this, along with her redesigned mobile app FertiCalmPro (which contains more than 500 solutions to the events and situations most likely to cause distress for anyone experiencing infertility), and her new program with Best Shot.    This discussion about the mind/body connection is so very important, because the mental and emotional strain on fertility patients is something that doesn't get enough attention. Be sure and check out Dr. Domar's books and resources for more information.

Just being pregnant can put your anxiety into overdrive—even if you haven't had any fertility issues or faced a pregnancy loss. Everything in your world is changing, including your body, your relationships with other people, and of course, your future! It can be nerve wracking, and it's also an amazing and wonderful time to embrace. I know that for women who have faced a pregnancy loss or infertility that pregnancy, especially the first trimester, can be really really challenging.
