Dr. Isabelle Amigues unpacks why patients often recover better, faster, and more deeply in a supportive group. From mirror neurons and oxytocin to vagus nerve activation and the power of clinician belief, she explains how community and medicine accelerates remission—then previews UnabridgedMD's upcoming physician-led healing cohorts.What You'll Learn:From competition to collaboration: How traditional, competitive medical training contrasts with the superior outcomes of team-based care—and why adding patients to the care team elevates results.The brain science of group healingMirror neurons: observing others practice skills (e.g., injections, PT) improves your own learning and adherence.Oxytocin up, cortisol down: group practices (breath, chant, yoga) boost bonding hormones and reduce stress chemistry—fertile ground for recovery.Vagus nerve / parasympathetic activation: group rituals nudge the nervous system into “rest-and-repair,” lowering inflammation.Placebo power, reframed: Why clinician belief and a supportive cohort measurably enhance outcomes (a reason trials are double-blind)—and how to harness that effect ethically.Mindset shapes pain: Attention directs perception; scanning for what's working reduces pain. Group programs for chronic pain (e.g., back pain) consistently show greater relief and fewer relapses than going solo.Medication and milieu: Biologics and DMARDs are powerful tools, but outcomes improve further when paired with community practices that activate anti-inflammatory pathways.Safety, accountability, momentum: Groups create a psychologically safe space to try new habits, show up consistently, and stay on track—especially valuable in rheumatologic conditions.What's next at UnabridgedMD: A webinar and physician-led community cohorts designed to help patients reach and sustain remission through evidence-based medical care plus group-based nervous-system and lifestyle practices.If a trusted group could help you heal 25–40% faster, what habit or symptom would you choose to transform first?

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

Many people today describe a pattern they cannot explain. Life feels manageable until something unexpected happens at work or home, then the body suddenly shuts down. The mind spins, energy collapses, irritability rises, and the only thing that feels safe is withdrawing into the couch, the phone, or Netflix. This is not laziness or burnout. This is functional freeze. In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with environmental and root cause medicine expert Dr. Jessica Peatross (Dr. Jess) to reveal why so many people experience chronic fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, histamine reactions, food sensitivities and unexplained inflammation even when routine labs look normal.Instead of chasing symptoms or isolated toxins, Dr. Jess explains how a dysregulated nervous system alters detox, hormones, digestion, immunity and gene expression. She breaks down how trauma, mold exposure, hidden infections, parasites and environmental chemicals overload the body when the vagus nerve is stuck in fight, flight or freeze. And she shows why healing is impossible when the body does not feel safe.From childhood trauma and dorsal vagal shutdown to blocked drainage pathways, cytokine storms, reactivated viruses and misdiagnosed environmental illness, this episode reframes chronic symptoms through a lens of nervous system physiology, not personal weakness or aging.You will learn what functional freeze looks like, why detox often makes people worse, how to identify nervous system dysregulation, and the steps Dr. Jess uses to help patients regulate, open pathways and finally begin to heal. Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Jess outline a clear, compassionate roadmap for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed or stuck in a body that will not calm down.Dr. Taz and Dr. Jess discuss: • What functional freeze is and why it shows up in daily life • How nervous system dysregulation drives fatigue, anxiety and chronic symptoms • The role of mold, parasites, toxins and environmental chemicals in chronic illness • Why detox fails when the body does not feel safe • Vagus nerve physiology and dorsal vs ventral vagal states • How trauma, stress and grief reshape hormones, immune function and methylation • Medical dismissal and the reality of normal labs with real symptoms • The drainage pathways that must open before detox • Histamine issues, MCAS, POTS and their connection to the nervous system • Tools that help regulate the system and support healing • How to track progress through sleep, HRV, emotional stability and digestion • Why healing is not linear and why support and community matterAbout Dr. Jessica Peatross Dr. Jessica Peatross  is a functional and environmental medicine expert known for her work on nervous system dysregulation, toxin-driven illness and trauma informed detox. She is the founder of WellnessPlus, an educational platform teaching step-by-step protocols for mold, parasites, drainage and nervous system healing.

If you've ever wondered why you can't “just stop” watching porn—why you cycle through cravings, shame, self-promises, and relapse—this episode will change the way you see your struggle forever. Because the truth is, porn addiction is not a willpower problem. It's a nervous system problem.In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Chris Chandler, a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), trauma specialist, and one of the most grounded, brilliant men I know in the world of addiction neuroscience, trauma healing, and nervous system regulation. Together, we break down the deep biological, emotional, and spiritual roots of pornography addiction and why most men stay stuck for years without ever understanding why.We explore polyvagal theory, the fight-flight-freeze response, and how sympathetic activation, dorsal vagal shutdown, and ventral vagal connection shape everything—from your cravings and emotional triggers to your patterns of withdrawal, anxiety, and relational disconnection.This isn't just another conversation about “trying harder.”This is about learning how your body, brain, and nervous system actually work—and how to regulate yourself in moments of anxiety, craving, emotional pain, conflict, and stress.We discuss practical strategies for recovery, including:Vagus nerve regulationBreathwork for anxietyEmbodiment practices that increase emotional presenceIFS (Internal Family Systems) for understanding your protective partsHealthy boundaries and relational repairMindfulness for addictionAnd why the opposite of addiction is connection, not sobrietyIf you're ready to stop feeling defeated…If you're ready to stop fighting your body and start understanding it…If you're ready to step into grounded masculinity, emotional depth, and real long-term recovery…Explore more of Chris's work at: https://www.breathtobones.com/Learn more about his program at: https://www.joinrelay.app/Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeIf you're ready to build the mindset and lifestyle that lead to long-term freedom from porn addiction, visit NoMoreDesire.com and apply for my 1-on-1 Porn Addiction Recovery Coaching Program.

In this episode, we explore the biological reason why willpower so often fails in the face of binge eating. We dive into Polyvagal Theory to understand how your autonomic nervous system hijacks your decision-making to keep you safe, explaining why you can't simply "discipline" your way out of a survival response. You'll discover why your body is actually trying to protect you when it demands food, and how to create true safety without relying on the pantry.Important Points CoveredWhy Willpower is No Match for Biology We discuss the uncomfortable truth that binge eating is often a biological safety response, not a character flaw. When your nervous system senses a threat, it shuts down the logical part of your brain (the prefrontal cortex), making it physically impossible to access your "willpower" or long-term goals during a stress response.The Three States of Your Nervous System We break down the "traffic light" system of your body: the Green State (safe and social), the Red State (fight or flight), and the Blue State (freeze or shutdown). You'll learn how to identify which state you are in based on whether you are craving crunchy, aggressive foods (Red State) or soft, comforting foods (Blue State).Reframing the Binge as a Safety Solution Here is the part most people don't want to hear: your bingeing is actually a functional solution your body found to regulate your nervous system. We explain how the physical act of eating massages the Vagus nerve, providing immediate chemical relief from anxiety or numbness, which is why it feels so addictive.The Danger of Restriction We look at why the standard advice to "go on a diet" inevitably backfires for emotional eaters. To your primitive brain, restriction looks like starvation, which acts as a massive danger signal. This pushes you right back into the "Red State," creating a vicious cycle where trying to be "good" actually triggers the next binge.Practical Tools for Somatic Safety We move beyond theory into action with "Somatic Resourcing"—using your body to change your state instead of food. You'll learn specific physical movements to discharge anxious energy (like shaking or pushing) and gentle techniques to wake up from a shutdown (like humming or weighted blankets).Your body has never been your enemy; it has been your protector, working overtime to help you survive stress. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear which "state" you find yourself in most often—Red or Blue? Reply to this week's newsletter. I'll see you Thursday for our Q&A, where we'll dive deeper into how to navigate these nervous system storms in real-time.Key Takeaway Binge eating is not a sign that you are broken or weak; it is a sign that your nervous system is desperately trying to regulate itself to keep you safe.

I denne episoden guider jeg, Annette Løno, deg gjennom en kort og nærende meditasjon som hjelper kroppen inn i dypere ro.Dette er en 8 minutters mikropause du kan bruke når som helst i løpet av dagen for å lande, puste og regulere nervesystemet.I meditasjonen får du både en myk guiding gjennom kroppen – med kroppsskanning og rolig pust – og en visualisering der du tas med på en liten tur i naturen.

Are you feeling physically burnt out, with a racing heart or tight chest, even though you're trying to relax? This is not a failure of your mind; it is a biological "fight or flight" response.In this session, Clinical Hypnotherapist Martin guides you through a powerful Somatic Nervous System Reset—a physiological approach to turning off the body's alarm switch.Instead of just "watching" your thoughts, we will use active biological tools to signal safety directly to your Vagus Nerve.This session is perfect for moments of high stress, panic attacks, or when you feel "wired but tired."

Congratulations on reaching Day 7 of creating your own inner authority and calm. When you intentionally slow your breath, relax your posture, or force yourself to smile (a biological signal of safety), you activate the Vagus nerve. This activation sends a massive inhibitory signal to the amygdala and other stress centers, effectively dampening your panic response. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm. If you've ever felt your energy drain away in a stressful situation, if your hands shake before a presentation, or if you struggle to maintain focus under pressure, this series is for you. We often try to solve problems of confidence and anxiety with our thoughts—we argue with our inner critic, we try to logically reason our way into feeling secure. But the ancient Romans understood a profound truth: Your body is the source of your authority. The Roman Empire was built on more than just discipline; it was built on an embodied presence that they called Gravitas—a personal weight, seriousness, and undeniable importance. This journey is a practical masterclass in self-command. By the end of this series, you won't just feel more confident—you will have a physical, repeatable, and accessible code to embody that confidence whenever you need it. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm," episodes 3416-3422. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Intentional Micro-Posturing Quest: Check your posture, adjust your shoulders, back, relax your jaw, and hold the Gaze of Authority (steady, calm eye contact). This challenge forces you to consciously apply the Roman techniques in low-stakes situations, building the neural pathways for Embodied Power to become automatic. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Dignity Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I command my presence and own my peace." Day 3:  Praetor's Pause Day 4:  Ganesha mudra for overcoming obstacles Day 5:  Seventh Chakra for Interconnectedness Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

In this episode of What Happens in Vagus, Dr. Stephanie Canestraro is joined by Dr. Leah Barbaro for a deep dive into the hidden health challenges affecting athletes today. Together, they unpack why so many professionals struggle with lymphatic stagnation, gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and the growing burden of environmental toxins. They explore the rise in mast cell activation, the overlooked role of parasites, and why standard nutrition and supplement protocols fall short for high-performing bodies. Throughout the conversation, they highlight the importance of holistic care, strategic detoxification, mitochondrial support, and building a resilient system from the ground up. Whether you're an athlete or someone navigating similar symptoms, this episode empowers you to understand your body, make informed choices, and take control of your long-term health. Let us know your thoughts on this episode hereFor any further information, feel free to email us at info@vagusclinic.com.

Ever feel like you've tried EVERYTHING—therapy, retreats, prayer meetings, all the books—but you're still struggling? This episode reveals what might be the missing piece: integrating your body into the healing process. Dani and Jim introduce The Third Act, a personalized coaching program that helps you birth the authentic essence of who you were created to be. It's not just about your past or present—it's about building the future you deserve. The Three Acts of Life ACT ONE: Formation The experiences that shaped you—childhood, relationships, choices made for you. The conditioning that formed your reactions to life. ACT TWO: The Awakening Waking up to patterns, hurt, and wrong turns. Many of us stay stuck here in coping mechanisms. (And that's okay—there's work to do.) ACT THREE: Coming Home Birthing the truest essence of who you are. Making peace with your past AND future. Integrating body, mind, and soul to become who you were always meant to be. Why Your Body Matters You are a triune being: Body, mind, and soul—one integrated whole made in God's image. The problem: We've abandoned our bodies because life abandoned us. We've become over-thinkers because we're under-feelers. Christian culture taught us to shame the flesh, but Jesus came in flesh and blood. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit—it deserves honor and integration. The science: Trauma is encoded chemically and electrically in your body. Your nervous system holds experiences even when your mind doesn't. You can't think your way out of what's stored in your body. What The Third Act Includes 30-50 personalized practices (you choose what works for YOU): Movement & dance practices Self-soothing techniques (child hug, breathwork) Vagus nerve regulation Visualization & future-self anchoring StrengthsFinder assessment Body-mind-soul integration work Simple practice to try now—The Child Hug: Right hand in left armpit, left hand on right shoulder Sway gently and breathe Say: "I'm not leaving you. I'm here with you." Who This Is For ✓ You've tried everything but still struggle ✓ You're hijacked by anxiety, anger, or reactive patterns ✓ You know there's MORE but don't know how to access it ✓ You're an over-thinker who's actually an under-feeler ✓ You want to make peace with your body, not war with it ✓ You love Jesus but feel lost Real talk: 90% of Dani's clients have never had a coach before. You're in good company. The Goal: Future You That peaceful, integrated version of you 10 years from now? She already exists in God's hand. The Third Act helps you anchor to your future self and build the bridge from here to there. Success looks like: Moving through a trigger in 3 minutes instead of being stuck for days. The goal isn't to never be triggered—it's to feel it, honor it, release it, and move forward.

In this conversation, Dr. Nathan Keiser and Dr. Jonathan Chung discuss the intricate relationship between the autonomic nervous system and the cervical spine, particularly in the context of dysautonomia and conditions like POTS. They explore the importance of multi-sensory processing, the role of blood flow, and the implications of vagus nerve stimulation. The discussion emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of motor outputs and sensory inputs, advocating for collaboration among healthcare providers to enhance patient outcomes.Resources:keiserclinic.comDr. Keiser's Carrick Courses@dockeiser@drjonathanchungTakeawaysThe autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in various disorders.Cervical spine alignment can significantly influence autonomic function.Dysautonomia can be treated through various modalities, including chiropractic care.Understanding multi-sensory processing is essential for effective treatment.Motor outputs are closely linked to sensory inputs in the autonomic system.Evaluating motor outputs can help identify underlying issues in patients.Blood flow to the brain is critical for proper autonomic function.Vagus nerve stimulation may not always address the root cause of symptoms.Collaboration among healthcare providers enhances patient outcomes.Continuous learning and adaptation are vital in chiropractic practice.

In this episode of What Happens in Vagus, Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with Dr. Kendal Stewart, a board-certified neurotologist who made the remarkable transition from neurosurgery to functional medicine. Together, they unpack how understanding root causes, not just symptoms, can transform patient outcomes. Dr. Stewart dives deep into the lasting neurological effects of COVID, explaining how inflammation and immune activation can alter the brain and body. The two explore the critical connection between genetics, immune response, and hormonal balance, especially when it comes to mast cell activation in women.Listeners will also learn why turning off inflammation is key to recovery, how insulin resistance quietly impacts overall health, and the promising role of peptides and exosomes in immune and neurological repair. Dr. Stewart shares how personalized medicine, nutrigenomics, and genetic testing allow practitioners to tailor treatments that target inflammation, neurotransmitter imbalances, and gut dysfunction at their source. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of genetics, functional medicine, and cutting-edge approaches to healing from the inside out.More on Dr. Stewart: As a board-certified neurotologist with advanced training in both surgery and cellular science, Dr. Kendal Stewart has dedicated his life's work to uncovering root causes and tailoring individualized solutions through genetic testing, functional medicine, and integrative care. His approach emphasizes prevention as much as treatment, using lifestyle, nutrition, and nervous system support as daily fuel for better brain function. A nationally recognized expert in neuroimmune disorders— including genetic abnormalities, chronic pain, ADD/ADHD and autism spectrum conditions, he provides practical tools to regulate stress, stabilize energy, boost mental clarity, and gain overall wellness.

When your child explodes over something small, it can leave you feeling helpless, confused—and even blamed. You may find yourself asking, “Why are they so reactive? What am I missing?”These intense outbursts aren't about disrespect or defiance. They're signs of a nervous system in distress—a brain that's wired to overreact and struggles to come back to calm once it's triggered. Behind every meltdown is a child whose brain is crying out for help, not one who's trying to give you a hard time.In this episode, we'll break down what's really going on in the volatile brain—and what parents can do to bring peace back into their homes. From the neuroscience of emotional dysregulation to practical, daily tools, this episode gives you clarity, validation, and hope.What Causes Volatile Behavior in Kids?If your child melts down over seemingly minor things, it's not because they're manipulative or dramatic. Their brain is likely stuck in survival mode.Here's what's happening under the surface:The amygdala (emotional center) is in hyper-alert mode—constantly scanning for danger, even where there is none.The prefrontal cortex (logic and control) goes offline when triggered, making self-regulation impossible in that moment.Dopamine and serotonin—the neurotransmitters responsible for mood, focus, and impulse control—become imbalanced.Cortisol floods the brain, ramping up reactivity and stress.When a child is in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, they aren't choosing chaos. Their nervous system is hijacked.What are the Common Triggers of Volatile Behavior?Chronic stress, trauma, or poor sleepNeurodevelopmental conditions (ADHD, OCD, Autism)Brain inflammation from PANS/PANDASSensory overload or diet-related crashesGut-brain issues or birth traumaVolatility is the nervous system screaming for help—not a child trying to make your life harder.How do I calm my child's volatile brain?To calm a volatile brain, we need to regulate the nervous system, not just react to behavior. That means using proactive, brain-based tools consistently—not just during meltdowns.Here's where to start:Start with daily regulation—not just in the heat of the moment.These aren't one-time fixes. Your child's brain needs predictable, calming input every day to feel safe and balanced.Vagus nerve activation (humming, breathwork, cold water) helps shift the brain into a calm, parasympathetic state.Supplements like magnesium, omega-3s, and amino acids can support healthy brain chemistry.The CALM PEMF™ device supports parasympathetic tone and reduces inflammation.Co-regulation is key.When your child is dysregulated, your calm becomes their anchor.A soft voice, steady body language, or a gentle hug can signal safety to a dysregulated brain.Don't rush to fix the behavior—focus on being the calm in the storm.Make regulation part of your family rhythm.Kids with volatile brains thrive with repetition, rhythm, and regulation.Don't wait for meltdowns to use tools—practice regulation every day, when things are calm.Build rituals that help their nervous system settle: quiet mornings, screen-free transitions, sensory breaks.Look
