Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1578DMDr. Ellen Langer's decades of research shows our mindsets directly impact physiology, evidenced by her landmark study where elderly men regained youthful strength and cognition simply by living one week as their younger selves. She posits we must challenge the harmful tendency to cling to absolutes since external realities are constantly changing, so mindful awareness of novelty is key to wellbeing. Dr. Langer stresses that psychology, not just biology, will be the future of medicine as data continues to demonstrate that presuppositions shape our bodies, but most still fail to recognize mind-body unity. By revealing the fallacy of certainty, she hopes to revolutionize how we perceive and thus experience aging, illness and the inevitability of change.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!

September 29, 2026: a strangely big day for hypnosis.The New York Times published “Why Are We Becoming So Entranced by Hypnotherapy?”—a look at hypnosis moving further into mainstream culture, featuring practitioners including Melissa Tiers. Get ready for a "coincidence" which brings us to today's guest....Shauna Cummins is a hypnotist, artist, author of Wishcraft, and founder of the Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis. Melissa has been a formative influence on Shauna's work; Shauna says she probably wouldn't be doing this at all without her, while also taking hypnosis into distinctly artistic, spiritual, and experimental territory of that's radically hers. And yes: apparently all Greg has to hear is the phrase “Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis” and his attention is secured.His Facebook algorithm is special. Trust us, we've seen it. However, this episode goes somewhere the newspaper story doesn't quite reach.What if our renewed fascination with hypnosis has less to do with celebrity wellness trends—and more to do with the fact that we're living in an environment increasingly designed to capture our attention, shape our desires, and tell us what to imagine?What if hypnosis can also be a way of taking some of that territory back?In this conversation:Why wishing may deserve a serious second look—and what wishing wells were actually for.The difference between imagination and fantasy, and why one can move you while the other can keep you circling.How hypnosis can become an art form, not merely a clinical technique.Why artists may already be working with trance without calling it hypnosis.The strange relationship between algorithms, attention, suggestibility, and identity.Why Shauna thinks the imagination deserves something approaching reverence.And whether reclaiming your ability to imagine your own future might now qualify as a small act of rebellion. Pasted text Pasted text Pasted textShauna's work sits right at that intersection: hypnosis as artistry, hypnosis as agency, and hypnosis as what she beautifully calls “practical divine magic.” Greg swooned again. Dreams are coming true already....it's Open Loops.

If you're living with MS and wondering what you can do beyond simply managing symptoms, this episode is a powerful place to start.Pam Bartha was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at just 28 after losing vision in one eye and developing neurological symptoms. She was told MS was incurable and that progressive disability was likely. Instead, she began investigating what might be contributing to illness—and rebuilding her health from multiple directions. She now describes herself as having lived MS-free for 37 years.In this conversation, we explore why Pam believes parasites and other chronic infections deserve greater attention in MS, the nutrition changes that became foundational to her recovery, and how the mind-body connection—including stress, mindset, purpose, and community—fits into a much larger healing picture.You'll also learn what Pam wishes every newly diagnosed MS patient knew, why she believes recovery requires looking beyond any single intervention, and how to begin taking a more active role in your own health without becoming overwhelmed.If you have MS—or love someone who does—start here.Learn from and connect with Pam Bartha: www.livediseasefree.comJoin my free email community for practical healing tools, research, survivor stories, and encouragement between episodes:https://TheRenegadeNutritionist.comThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

What if your symptoms aren't simply problems to fight—but signals worth listening to?In this episode of AWAKEN with Nathan, I sit down with Cathy Goldstein, holistic health practitioner and founder of Tru Energy Skincare, for a deep conversation about the connection between our emotional health, subconscious beliefs, nervous system, and physical well-being.We explore why healing may require looking beyond the physical body and becoming curious about the emotional patterns and experiences we've carried throughout our lives.Cathy shares her perspective on the body's innate intelligence, why symptoms can sometimes provide valuable information, and how experiences from childhood may shape subconscious beliefs and coping mechanisms that continue influencing us as adults.We also discuss emotional healing, nervous system regulation, muscle testing and kinesiology, the mind-body connection, addictive and self-protective behaviors, and why lasting change often requires more than searching for another quick fix.Plus, Cathy shares a powerful perspective on aging—especially for women—and why getting older can be embraced as a season of greater wisdom, resilience, and personal power.IN THIS EPISODE:The body's innate capacity for healing and adaptationLearning to listen to the signals your body is giving youThe role of emotional, mental, and spiritual well-beingHow childhood experiences can shape subconscious beliefsTrauma, stress, and the nervous systemWhy unwanted behaviors may actually be attempts to protect usCathy's approach to muscle testing and kinesiologyExploring the emotional component of physical symptomsWhy healing requires more than addressing symptoms aloneMoving beyond the search for a “magic pill”Reframing aging as wisdom, strength, and resilienceIf this conversation resonates with you, like the episode, subscribe to AWAKEN with Nathan, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.CONNECT WITH NATHAN CRANE

Every Word We Speak Matters: Mind, Emotions, Body and LifeEvery word we speak matters. It affects our mind, our emotions, our body, and our life. In this episode of Words... with Jill, Fiona and Jill explore the energy of language and how conscious speech changes the way we move through the world. The idea that words carry power is ancient. Sanskrit traditions hold speech as sacred, and Kabbalah sees the Hebrew letters as the building blocks of creation. Today, research on self-talk and on putting feelings into words suggests that the language we use can ease stress and change how we respond to difficult moments. Drawing on Florence Scovel Shinn's classic Your Word Is Your Wand, Fiona and Jill share practical ways to reframe conflict, meet everyday encounters with empathy, and be gentle with yourself when emotions run high. You'll come away with a new awareness of what you say to others and to yourself, and how much of it is your choice. This week, notice one word you use often. How does it feel in your body? Spiritual and cultural traditions on wordsBuddhism: Right Speech is one of the steps of the Eightfold Path: speak truthfully, kindly, and without harshness or gossip.Hebrew Bible and Judaism: Proverbs 18:21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue. The teaching against lashon hara (harmful speech) is central to Jewish ethics.Christianity: The Gospel of John opens with "In the beginning was the Word."Ancient Egypt: In the Memphite theology, the god Ptah creates the world by thinking and then speaking it. Heka, the power of the spoken word, was central to Egyptian magic and healing.Hawaiian tradition: A well-known saying, "I ka ʻōlelo nō ke ola, i ka ʻōlelo nō ka make," means "in the word is life, in the word is death."Islam and Sufism: Dhikr is the repetition of sacred names as a practice, and a well-known hadith says to speak good or remain silent.Toltec wisdom: Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements opens with "Be impeccable with your word."Aboriginal Australian tradition: Songlines carry the creation of the land through song and speech. Since you know Australia well, you may want to speak to this one yourself.Words, affirmations, and the bodyYou Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay (1984): affirmations and the link between thought patterns and physical wellbeing.The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn (1925): her earlier companion to Your Word Is Your Wand.The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton (2005): how beliefs may influence cells and health.

Week 5 — The Compound Effect: Small Practices, Powerful ChangeWhat if changing how you feel in your body doesn't require one enormous breakthrough?What if meaningful change begins with something much smaller?A moment of awareness.A gentler movement.A pause before reacting.A little more curiosity and a little less judgement.Welcome to the final episode of Somatic in September.Over the past few weeks, Heidi Hadley has taken us on a journey through the Australian landscape to explore the remarkable relationship between your brain, body and nervous system.We've stood beneath the ancient trees of the rainforest and explored resilience.We've travelled beneath the surface of the Great Barrier Reef to discover the importance of interconnection.We've encountered the crocodile and considered the protective wisdom of the nervous system.And we've stepped away from the noise to rediscover stillness, connection and presence.Now, in our final episode, we bring everything together with one powerful idea:Small practices, repeated consistently, can create powerful change.

What if the future we're building is also building us?Two years after her first visit to Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell, dancer, artist, and creator Kristen Mangione — The Dance Alchemist — returns for a beautiful exploration of creativity, movement, presence, and what happens when the work we create begins speaking back to us.Our conversation was inspired by Kristen's recent Artist's Letters, where she shares the discoveries emerging from her own creative process rather than simply reporting what she has done or promoting what comes next.Together, we explore some wonderfully expansive questions:✨ What happens when we revisit something we created years ago and discover it still has something to teach us?✨ Can the future we are creating actually participate in shaping who we become?✨ What happens when the clock becomes irrelevant and we become completely absorbed in an experience?✨ What is the difference between **doing** and truly **being**?✨ Can an old story remain part of our history without continuing to organize our future?✨ What changes when movement becomes ceremony — art that is not simply observed, but inhabited?Michelle also brings these ideas into conversation with BioEnergetic Wellness (BEW) and its person-led, future-oriented approach to wellbeing. Rather than prescribing what someone should become, what might happen when we create the conditions for awareness, possibility, organization, and new experiences to emerge?

Free Guided Meditation for Calming Your Anxious Mind 10-Minute Body-Scan Meditation for AnxietyQuote:You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.-Jon Kabat-ZinnChapters0:27 Anxiety and the Stomach5:04 Breaking the Fear Loop9:19 Reframing Food Fears12:51 Letting Sensations Pass16:05 Living Beyond Symptoms18:58 Surfing the WavesSummaryIn this episode we talk about the connection between anxiety and stomach symptoms, including nausea, butterflies, bloating, urgent bowel movements, tightness, and a feeling of a knot or pit in the stomach. We explain that anxiety is not only a thought process, but also a physical experience.We describe how the digestive system and nervous system are closely connected. When the nervous system senses stress or threat, digestion can change, and ordinary stomach sensations can become more noticeable. We note that a sensation can be real without meaning that something is dangerous.We also talk about the cycle that can develop when we begin watching the stomach closely. Attention can make normal digestive activity feel louder, and fear can lead to more scanning, checking, and concern. We encourage letting the stomach do its job without constant monitoring, while also seeking medical advice for new, persistent, severe, or concerning symptoms.We then discuss how anxiety can affect eating habits. People may avoid foods, eat less, or limit themselves to what feels safe, which can keep fear going. We suggest shifting from trying to guarantee certainty to accepting that sensations may come and still being able to continue with the day.Finally, we focus on practicing a different response when stomach sensations appear: pausing, breathing, allowing the sensation to be there, and returning attention to daily life. We emphasize that a calm life does not require a perfectly calm body, and that we can learn not to panic every time the body sends a signal.#AnxietyRelief, #GutBrainConnection, #AnxietyAndStomach, #NervousSystemRegulation, #SomaticHealing, #AnxietyCoach, #MindBodyConnection, #HealthAnxiety, #ChronicAnxiety, #CalmYourBody, #MentalHealthSupport, #PhysicalAnxiety, #AnxietyRecovery, #MindfulnessPractice, #EmotionalWellness, #AnxietyRelief, #GutBrainConnection, #StomachAnxiety, #NervousSystemRegulation, #SomaticHealing, #AnxietyCoach, #MindBodyConnection, #HealthAnxiety, #ChronicAnxiety, #CalmYourBody, #MentalHealthSupport, #PhysicalAnxiety, #AnxietyRecovery, #MindfulnessPractice, #EmotionalWellness, #DigestionAndAnxiety, #PanicSymptoms, #BodyAwareness, #SomaticSymptoms, #AnxietyHealingJourney, #NervousSystemHealing, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #ACP, #GinaRyanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if your thoughts could allow you to feel the texture of an object, type a message or move a robotic arm? How does the brain translate thought into physical movement, and can technology bridge the gap for paralyzed patients, whose pathways are broken?University of Chicago neuroscientist Nicholas Hatsopoulos is transforming that fundamental neuroscience into life-changing medical technology. By implanting microelectrode arrays directly into the brain, his team decodes the neural patterns that fire when a person intends to move. This brain-machine interface technology is allowing patients who are paralyzed or have ALS the ability to control robotic limbs, reach for objects, and regain touch sensation through their thoughts.

This is probably the episode of the show Greg thinks of first when people ask, "Which interview was your favorite?".... In Tribute to Dr. Richard Alan Miller (1944-2026) Earlier this week, we learned that Dr. Richard Alan Miller - who appeared on Open Loops twice, became a friend of the show, and someone Greg was fortunate to know personally - had passed away suddenly.In tribute, and in RAMembrance of him (Doc even loved a bad pun), Greg shares a few words about what he meant to him before this rerelease of their first conversation from 2021.Dr. Richard Alan Miller dedicated his life to exploring altered states of consciousness, the paranormal, physics, metaphysics, agriculture, and seemingly everything in between.Dr. Richard Alan Miller dedicated his life to exploring altered states of consciousness and all things paranormal. He was a polymath physicist, meta-physicist, agriculturalist, and the inspiration for Fox Mulder on "The X-Files." In some ways, his real-life adventures around the world had been even weirder. He did LSD with Timothy Leary, he'd been to Antarctica's secret underground base, he'd met the real-life "Don Juan" from Carlos Castaneda's works, he invented an artificial intelligence prototype in the 70s and he was a Mensa-level genius. This episode itself is one of the most profound trance experiences Greg has ever had. You will go into an altered state listening, but that's by design. Doc R.A.M. takes you there deliberately and it's simply unforgettable. Ready for mind-blowing moment after mind-blowing moment? You aren't. And that's why this episode is one of the best Open Loops has ever put out....Dr. Richard Alan Miller's Link: https://www.richardalanmiller.com/If you enjoy this podcast, please rate this show and leave a review!

What if the answer to better health isn't always another prescription?In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Dr. George Kramer for a fascinating conversation about the history of medicine, the rise of the pharmaceutical model, and the growing return to natural and whole-person approaches to health.Dr. Kramer shares how his experience at Mayo Clinic and decades of practicing physical and integrative medicine shaped his approach to healing. They discuss how medicine moved from an emphasis on prevention, nutrition, lifestyle, and the body's natural ability to heal toward a system increasingly focused on diagnosing disease and treating symptoms with medication.They explore the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, morning light, breathing, stress reduction, gut health, vitamins and minerals, and spiritual health. Dr. Kramer also explains why he believes the mind, body, spirit, and soul should all be considered when looking at a person's health.You'll also hear personal stories about magnesium, migraines, atrial fibrillation, chronic pain, hormone health, prayer, and the surprising ways seemingly simple changes can make a difference.Dr. Kramer explains why he believes medicine is beginning to rediscover some of the principles that natural and integrative practitioners have emphasized for decades—and why patients can take a more active role in understanding and caring for their health.Most importantly, this conversation points back to a biblical perspective: our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and caring for our health can be part of caring for what God has entrusted to us.Find more from Revelations Podcast hosted by Reagan Kramer: Website | Instagram | Apple Podcast | YoutubeBecome Part of Our Mission!

Your labs keep coming back acceptable. Your symptoms keep getting harder to hold. And you have probably landed on one of two conclusions: either something is wrong with you that nobody has found yet, or something is wrong with how you are handling it.I want to offer a third.Full show notes Three things change at the same time in this decade, and each one is invisible on its own.Your immune baseline was set decades before perimenopause. Estrogen, which your immune system has been reading as an instruction every day for years, stops declining in a straight line and starts swinging. And cortisol, which is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory signals your body makes, stops being received even while your body is producing more of it.That third one is why a normal lab result can be a false negative. The all clear is being sent. It is not landing.In this episode I walk through all three, and I translate the research into language you can use with your own provider. I also tell you why I stopped calculating ACE scores, what a hazard ratio actually means when you read one about your own health, and what has to be stabilized before anything else will hold.Perimenopause does not create the autoimmunity. It does not create the pattern either. It removes the margin that had been holding that pattern quietly, which is why it feels like it arrived out of nowhere.In this episode:Why a cortisol test can read normal while inflammation gets worseThe four immune control points estrogen sits atWhy unpredictable estrogen costs more than declining estrogenWhat "seventy percent increased risk" really meansWhy I stopped calculating ACE scoresWhat has to come first, and why most people start at the wrong endResources:Take the free 2-Minute Assessment for Stored Trauma: https://biologyoftrauma.scoreapp.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast_audio&utm_campaign=ep195-autoimmunity-perimenopause&utm_content=show-notesThe Biology of Trauma by Dr. Aimie Apigian: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1637746237?tag=draimie-20Full show notes: https://www.biologyoftrauma.com/post/episode-195-why-autoimmune-symptoms-get-worse-in-perimenopauseFull show notes Grab your copy of The Biology of Trauma

What if midlife isn't a crisis at all—but an invitation to become more fully who you are?In this inspiring episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine welcomes holistic health and wellness coach Erin Dougherty for a powerful conversation about reinvention, menopause, the mind-body connection, energy healing, and learning to trust yourself through life's transitions.Erin shares her own winding journey from an 18-year career as an English teacher to clinical research and eventually holistic health coaching. After experiencing severe burnout during the pandemic, Erin made the courageous decision to leave teaching at age 47 without knowing exactly what would come next.That leap became the beginning of a new chapter.Erin reminds us that when we reinvent ourselves in midlife, we are not starting from zero. We carry our lived experiences, education, wisdom, challenges, relationships, successes, and failures with us. Every experience can become “fodder for your next move.”Dana and Erin explore why women in perimenopause and menopause often need more than another one-size-fits-all wellness plan. Hormonal changes may collide with chronic stress, changing bodies, aging parents, children leaving—or remaining—in the home, career transitions, relationship changes, and years of putting everyone else first.Erin's whole-person approach begins by asking deeper questions: What is happening in your life? What do you value? What do you truly want to change? And perhaps most importantly—why does that change matter to you?Rather than focusing only on numbers such as weight on the scale, Erin helps women connect their health goals to the life they actually want to live.The Mind-Body Connection in MidlifeThis conversation also explores two of Erin's therapeutic tools: Reiki and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping).Erin shares how grief originally led her to Reiki after the sudden loss of her best friend. After experiencing a profound shift in grief she had carried for years, she became a Reiki practitioner and eventually a Reiki Master.She also explains EFT tapping, a technique that combines tapping specific points on the body with intentional language and thought patterns. Erin uses EFT to help clients explore emotional blocks, repetitive thought patterns, stress, setbacks, and beliefs that may be keeping them stuck.During perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal fluctuations may coincide with anxiety, overwhelm, disrupted sleep, changing emotions, body changes, and increased stress, reconnecting with the body can become an important part of wellness.Wordds of Wisdom“Wherever you go, there you are.”Erin encourages women to stop trying to escape themselves through the next house, job, relationship, goal, or version of the future. Instead, begin meeting yourself where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and love.If this conversation speaks to you, share it with a friend, sister, or woman in your life who needs the reminder that midlife can be a rebirth—not a crisis.

What if our physical symptoms could be influenced not only by what's happening in the body, but also by what we've experienced emotionally?In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Dr. Katherine Willow, a fourth-generation naturopathic doctor with more than 40 years of experience, to explore German New Medicine and its perspective on the connection between emotional experiences, the brain, and physical symptoms.Dr. Katherine shares what first drew her to German New Medicine, how it differs from other mind-body approaches, and how she has incorporated this framework into her naturopathic practice. We also explore how unresolved stress and emotional experiences may be viewed through the GNM lens when it comes to hormonal symptoms and other complex health concerns.We talk about: What German New Medicine is and how Dr. Katherine discovered it  The mind-body connection from a GNM perspective  Emotional conflicts, triggers, and physical symptoms  How this framework may be applied to hormonal concerns  Examples from Dr. Katherine's clinical experience  Using self-awareness and emotional exploration as part of a broader wellness journey  Where someone can begin if they're curious about learning more This conversation offers a different perspective on the mind-body connection and invites you to become curious about the role our life experiences, stress, and emotions may play in how we feel.Learn more about Dr Katherine Willow:https://ecowellness.com/katherine-willow-3/Connect with Dee Davidson, FDNP:https://www.instagram.com/confidently_love_yourself/Important note: This episode is intended to explore Dr. Willow's perspective and should not be used as a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.

What if your emotions could offer valuable clues about your health, resilience, and overall well-being? In this episode of Light Body Radio, we explore the connection between chronic stress, heart coherence, the mind-body connection, and human potential. Dr. Lara May welcomes Daniel Zavrel, founder of Conscious and creator of the Conscious Scan method. Drawing from neuroscience, HeartMath, mindfulness, yoga, and consciousness-based approaches, Daniel shares how his work helps individuals, athletes, and organizations better understand the relationship between stress, emotions, and physical health. Together, they discuss how prolonged unpleasant emotions may influence the body's stress response, why heart coherence matters, and how greater self-awareness can support meaningful changes in the way we live. Daniel also shares the inspiration behind his work, the development of Conscious Scan, and his experiences applying these approaches in athletic and corporate settings. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about emotional awareness, resilience, and the possibility of using consciousness as a pathway toward greater health and transformation. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

The mind-body connection is more than a wellness buzzword. It's the ongoing, two-way communication between your brain, nervous system, thoughts, emotions, and the physical processes happening throughout your body.In this episode, Deb and Lindsay explore what the mind-body connection really means—and what it doesn't. Your thoughts don't simply “cause” chronic pain or illness, and physical symptoms aren't “all in your head.” Instead, the brain and body are constantly exchanging information, influenced by stress, past experiences, emotions, relationships, environment, movement, and more.We'll talk about how the nervous system, hormones, immune system, and gut-brain connection all play a role in this communication, and why stress can influence the way we experience pain and other physical symptoms.You'll also hear practical ways to support a healthier mind-body connection through nervous system regulation, movement, recovery, social connection, and simply becoming more curious about the patterns your body is showing you.If you're living with chronic pain or chronic illness, understanding the mind-body connection can offer a different way to look at your symptoms and bring greater awareness and more options for supporting your health.Follow Us:Website: LessStressinLife.com/podcast/Stay tuned for more conversations to empower you to live well, manage stress, and build a thriving, healthy life!

In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Sue Morter, master of bioenergetic medicine, founder of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening, to explore how energy medicine connects to the nervous system, chronic stress, emotional patterns, and the body's ability to heal.In this  episode Dr. Sue explains how energetic blockages can show up as a lump in the throat, tightness in the chest, a knot in the stomach, chronic tension, anxiety, digestive issues, allergies, pain patterns, and other symptoms that often appear disconnected from the deeper root cause.Dr. Sue shares how the flow of energy through the body acts like a master system, influencing the nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and the body's self-regulating capacity. When that flow becomes blocked by unresolved emotions, survival patterns, stress, fear, or disconnection from the self, the body may move into dysregulation and lose access to its natural healing intelligence.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here: 

There is a lot of conflicting information online about progesterone right now, particularly around whether women need to take it continuously, whether cycling is necessary, and whether progesterone can somehow interfere with estrogen or increase dementia risk. In this conversation, Dr. Phyllis Bronson, Carol Petersen, RPh, CNP, and Jill Chmielewski, RN, BSN, discuss some of the biggest claims circulating about progesterone and hormone therapy. The conversation explores the importance of progesterone, how different delivery methods can affect the way it works in the body, and why dose and individual response matter. They also discuss oral, topical and vaginal progesterone, the role of allopregnanolone, estriol and Bi-Est, and why measuring hormones in the blood doesn't always tell the full story of what is happening at the tissue level. They also tackle one of the biggest current controversies: the idea that continuous progesterone may increase dementia risk. The group discusses the evidence and theories behind this claim, the importance of balancing estradiol with progesterone, and why women need to be cautious about making hormone decisions based on simplified social media messaging. This is a wide-ranging conversation designed to give you more context, more questions to ask, and a deeper understanding of the ongoing debate around women's hormones.

I do not ask about your past. I do not get out the checklist of adverse childhood experiences. I am not calculating your ACE score. And I know how strange that sounds coming from a physician who works with stored trauma.Full show notesWhat I look at is the impact of your past on your today, because that is where it is still leaving its footprint.In this episode I walk you through the assessment I teach practitioners, so you can run it on yourself. Three domains, one repeating pattern, and the equation that decides whether a stressor stays a stress or tips you into overwhelm.Then I take you to the part that surprises people most. Trauma work runs on energy. If your body does not have the capacity, the work cannot integrate no matter how willing you are. Which means the most useful place to start is sometimes sleep, or brain inflammation, rather than the trauma itself. That is still trauma work.I also tell you about the pattern I carried for thirty years, and how it changed without me ever going looking for the reason.In this episode:Why the word trauma gets in the way of finding traumaThe three domains I ask about, and the one pattern that runs through all of themYour capacity against your stress load, and what happens when capacity is smallWhere stress ends and overwhelm beginsWhy perimenopause costs more capacity than most women expectThe nervous system dashboard, and the three things that feed itWhy I sometimes tell someone not to do the trauma work yetHow to find your biggest block without handing yourself the whole listFind your pattern: Take the free 2-Minute Assessment for Stored Trauma The book: The Biology of Trauma by Dr. Aimie ApigianFull show notesThis podcast is educational and is not medical advice.

Week 2 — Your Body Is Listening to Everything — Are You?What if the tension in your neck isn't just about your neck?What if your breathing, nervous system, fascia, muscles, thoughts and emotions are all part of a much bigger conversation happening throughout your body?In Week 2 of Somatic in September, Heidi Hadley takes us beneath the surface of Australia's spectacular Great Barrier Reef to explore a powerful idea:Your body is not a collection of separate parts. It is an interconnected system.Just as a coral reef thrives through thousands of living relationships, your body relies on constant communication and adaptation.Your fascia, muscles, nervous system, breathing and sensory experiences don't operate independently. They continually influence one another.And when we stop focusing solely on individual “problem areas” and begin paying attention to the relationships between the parts, something can shift.Perhaps wellbeing isn't about achieving perfection.Perhaps it's about improving connection.

It was a ball of trapped anger from being wrongly accused of embezzling 20 years earlier, just sitting in his low back this whole time. He'd been a self-described rageaholic for years, road rage, fights with his wife, anger management that never stuck. Nobody connected it to a decades-old grudge lodged in his body. Release the trapped emotion and the pain vanishes on the spot, guy's literally bending and twisting in the office asking “where did it go?” Days later he comes back saying the pain's still gone, but also, the rage is gone. Things that used to set him off instantly just don't anymore. Dr. Bradley Nelson's theory: trapped emotions are invisible balls of frequency stuck in your tissue, distorting your body's energy field until they're released. 90% of physical pain, according to him, traces back to emotional baggage, not injury.

What if your symptoms weren't your enemy—but your body's way of asking for help?In this fascinating and empowering episode of Linda's Corner Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Kelly McCann to explore the deeper meaning behind chronic illness, physical symptoms, and the body's incredible wisdom. Dr. Kelly is a pioneer in Functional, Integrative, and Environmental Medicine who specializes in uncovering the root causes of complex chronic conditions like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and persistent infections.You can learn more about Dr. Kelly and her work at Dr. Kelly McCann's WebsiteAfter navigating her own serious health challenges—including mold exposure and Lyme disease—Dr. Kelly discovered how profoundly our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and environment influence our physical health. Through her work at The Spring Center in California, she helps patients reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and reclaim their vitality.During this conversation, we explored the relationship many people have with their bodies. Too often, we view the body as broken, inconvenient, or even the enemy. But Dr. Kelly teaches that the body is deeply intelligent and always communicating with us. Symptoms are not random punishments—they are messages guiding us toward healing.We discussed Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a condition where the body's defense systems become hypersensitive and overreactive. Dr. Kelly shared the powerful idea that our mindset and emotional state can influence our susceptibility to toxins and illness. Two people may experience the same toxic exposure, yet one becomes very ill while the other does not. Why? According to Dr. Kelly, our internal beliefs, stress patterns, emotional wounds, and nervous system regulation all play a significant role in how the body responds.She explained how thoughts such as “I'm not safe,” “I'm not good enough,” or “My body is failing me” can create chronic stress patterns that are reflected physically in the body. Rather than blaming ourselves, Dr. Kelly encourages us to become curious and compassionate toward our symptoms and to recognize them as invitations to heal more deeply.We also discussed her transformational masterclass, The Unforgetting Project, which teaches that we are already whole and enough—we have simply forgotten who we truly are beneath the conditioning of the world. From childhood onward, many people absorb messages that they are flawed, unsafe, or unworthy. Dr. Kelly believes healing involves “unforgetting” our true nature and reconnecting with our authentic selves.One of the most practical insights she shared was the importance of allowing emotions to fully move through the body instead of suppressing them. She explained that emotions often complete their natural cycle in about 60–90 seconds if we allow ourselves to feel them fully without resistance. By noticing sensations in the body, identifying the associated emotion, and allowing it to flow through us, we can release trapped emotional energy and create space for healing.This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not just physical—it's emotional, mental, spiritual, and deeply personal. If you've struggled with chronic symptoms, unexplained illness, or feeling disconnected from your body, this conversation offers hope, insight, and a compassionate new perspective.In This Episode We Discuss:Listening to the wisdom of the body The mind-body connection Why symptoms may actually be messages from the bodyMast Cell Activation Syndrome and hypersensitive defense systemsMold toxicity, Lyme disease, and environmental illnessThe impact of thoughts like “I'm not safe” or “I'm not enough”Nervous system regulation and susceptibility to illnessLearning to trust the wisdom of the bodyEmotional processing and allowing feelings to complete their cycleDr. Kelly's “Unforgetting Project”Remembering that we are already enoughListen and ConnectTo learn more about Dr. Kelly McCann and her work, visit: Dr. Kelly McCann Official WebsiteListen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

Week 1 — Resilience: How Your Body Learns to AdaptWhat if resilience isn't about staying strong, pushing through or never struggling?What if resilience is something your body is already learning — every single day?In Week 1 of Somatic in September, Heidi Hadley takes you into the ancient Daintree Rainforest to explore what nature can teach us about resilience, adaptation and the remarkable capacity of the human body to change.Ancient trees don't survive because they avoid storms. They survive because they adapt.Your body does something remarkably similar.Throughout life, your nervous system continually responds to experience, while your fascia and neuromuscular system adapt to the demands placed upon them. Rather than seeing ourselves as permanently “stuck”, understanding this adaptability can offer a very different perspective:Change is possible.In this episode, Heidi explores:Why resilience doesn't mean being calm all the timeWhat ancient trees can teach us about adapting to changeHow your nervous system continually responds and learns from experienceHow fascia remodels throughout lifeWhy patterns in the body don't necessarily have to be permanentThe difference between resilience and simply “pushing through”How curiosity can help us develop greater body awarenessWhy small, consistent experiences can create meaningful change over time

Dr. John Demartini called in to discuss the connection between psychology and physical health and why he believes your body's symptoms are giving you important feedback. Tune in to hear all the details including how being raised to see things as one-sided can affect us, why the desire for what is unobtainable and trying to avoid what is unavoidable can create stress and suffering, how black-and-white thinking can make us less resilient, the connections he draws between emotions and thyroid issues, knee problems, digestive issues and chronic stress, how stress can affect the liver and other parts of the body, the emotional states he connects to car crashes and the crazy car crash story he shares, what he says about psychosomatics and autoimmune conditions, how he traced one mans neck issue back to something that happened during gestation, his Breakthrough Experience and what people get out of it, the incredible hurdles he overcame in his own life and a whole lot more.

Tens of millions of Americans live with chronic pain, often after years of tests, treatments, and specialist visits without finding relief. Chronic pain can also be misunderstood, whether it takes the form of migraines, IBS, fatigue, or other symptoms, and can significantly affect quality of life and emotional health. We spoke with Howard Schubiner, MD, author of Unlearn Your Pain: The Science of Recovering from Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Anxiety, and Depression, about “neuroplastic” pain, how to distinguish structural injury from brain-driven symptoms, practical steps to take alongside pain treatment, and his five-step approach to unlearning pain. We also emphasized how trauma, stress, life pressures, and experiences of medical dismissal can shape and amplify chronic pain. For those suffering from chronic pain, having their experience validated and understood – not minimized – can be an important part of healing.

Imagine someone places their hands on your shoulders, says, “Enjoy the trip,” and you enter a profound altered state. Completely sober. No expectation. No hypnotic induction. Yet suddenly, you're buzzing.   Nearly thirty years ago, NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer Hugh Comerford encountered an enigmatic French-Canadian energy healer who could produce experiences Hugh couldn't explain=and couldn't explain himself. So Hugh became obsessed with a question: Could you model the unconscious competence of a “unicorn” healer and teach it to anyone? The result is The Hümmo Method—a strange nexus of NLP, breathwork, perceptual shifts, and energy work. In this episode of Open Loops, Hugh reveals how the method emerged, why he says belief isn't required, the curious power of turning your problem into an “it,” and what happens when an NLP modeler spends decades trying to reverse-engineer the seemingly impossible.   .....Like Greg does sometimes when he looks into the ingredients of a Celsius can.   What happens when something shouldn't work according to your model of reality...but somehow does?   Listen to this week's episode to feel the shift(s) yourself...
