What if healing is about coming home to the wholeness of who you are?In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun sits down with LeNaya Smith Crawford, The Holistic Therapist™ - a licensed therapist, holistic mental health educator, business mentor, and wellness CEO with over a decade of experience. LeNaya shares the five-layer holistic framework that carried her through her own dark night of the soul, integrating the physical, energetic, mental-emotional, spiritual, and communal dimensions of healing. Together, she and Elizabeth explore why stillness can feel so frightening in a culture programmed to go-go-go, how sound healing works with our internal energy, why community is the layer we most often abandon, and what it means to honor "the human behind the healer." While LeNaya often teaches therapists, this conversation is for anyone longing to move beyond compartmentalized self-care into true wholeness, and especially those who give so much to others that they've forgotten how to receive.Key Takeaways:True healing asks us to integrate all five layers of who we are - physical, energetic, mental-emotional, spiritual, and communal - rather than tending to just one.Fear of stillness is natural in a culture that trains us to constantly produce; finding a trusted guide and allowing time for discomfort are the doorways in.Sound healing works with the energetic layer, helping regulate the nervous system and restore internal balance.We're often taught to heal in isolation, but at some point the journey asks us to return to community; sometimes the simplest medicine is going where the people are.Resources:The Holistic Path to Healing:A 5-day immersive experience hosted at the Omega Institute, designed to support deep restoration, nervous system regulation, and holistic healing through experiential and somatic practices facilitated by LeNaya Smith Crawford: Omega Five Day Learning RetreatHolistic Therapist Conference (HTC)A 4-day in-person conference taking place October 1–4, 2026 at the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, North Carolina.

John 21:3-12 Simon Peter said, “I'm going fishing.” “We'll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was. He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!” So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore. When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them—fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.“Bring some of the fish you've just caught,” Jesus said. So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn't torn. “Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.Go back to the START, in order to MOVE FORWARD.When you don't know what to do, go back to the last time you were WITH JESUS.Revelation 2:5 Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first.When you don't know what to do, BE OBEDIENT.Matthew 28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”1 John 5:3 For this is what love for God is: to keep his commands. And his commands are not a burden.My level of OBEDIENCE reveals my level of TRUST in Him.When you RETURN and OBEY, DAYBREAK will always come.Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.Psalm 30:5 Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.Jesus often meets us not in the middle of the FIGHT, but at the DAWN of a new day.When Jesus is involved, SOME becomes ABUNDANT.Jesus cares for the WHOLE PERSON.He provides for their NEEDS = 153 large fishHe provides for their SOULS = breakfast at the beachHe provides for their SPIRITS = redemption and callingWhen we read the Bible searching for ANSWERS, we don't always find them, but we always find a FULL PICTURE of who GOD is.John 21: 15-17 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.”God REDEEMS your past, REWRITES your story, and REAFFIRMS your purpose.

What happens when a labor and delivery nurse begins to realize that the healthcare system she trusted is missing something foundational? In this deeply honest and empowering conversation, Meghan Morin shares her journey from conventional nursing to holistic hormone coaching—and how her own fertility struggles became the catalyst for transformation. As a nurse, Meghan loved caring for women during some of the most sacred moments of their lives. Yet over time, she began to feel disconnected from the deeper meaning of care. The system often reduced people to numbers, lab values, and symptoms to suppress instead of human beings with stories worth understanding. Everything changed when Meghan faced her own hormonal and fertility challenges. After months of trying to conceive, she sought medical help only to be dismissed and told she needed to wait longer before anyone would investigate. That moment sparked a deeper search for answers—and ultimately revealed how little education many healthcare professionals receive about foundational hormonal health. In this episode, Meghan shares how learning to chart her cycle and understand biological markers such as cervical mucus completely changed the way she viewed her body. Rather than relying on apps that simply predict ovulation, she discovered the power of real-time body literacy and how charting could uncover important clues about overall health and fertility. She also opens up about the surprisingly simple lifestyle changes that transformed her symptoms. By reducing toxic load, improving supplement quality, managing stress, increasing sunlight exposure, and making intentional nutrition changes, Meghan saw severe menstrual cramps resolve naturally. Her story becomes a powerful reminder that symptoms are not random—and that healing often begins with understanding the body instead of fighting against it. Together, we discuss: Why severe cramps and hormonal symptoms should never be dismissed as “normal” The difference between ovulation prediction and true cycle charting How stress, environment, and lifestyle influence hormones The gaps in conventional healthcare education around women's health Why person-centered care matters now more than ever The emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing A hopeful and empowering perspective on perimenopause This conversation is especially meaningful for nurses, healthcare workers, and women who feel disconnected from their bodies or frustrated by symptom-based care. Meghan offers a refreshing vision of healthcare that honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Whether you are navigating fertility struggles, hormone symptoms, burnout in healthcare, or simply wanting to understand your body more deeply, this episode will leave you feeling informed, encouraged, and empowered.

Is "whole person reasoning" just biopsychosocial with new branding, or does it change how you actually run a session? Mark Kargela and Ben Whybrow break down why treating pain by tissue alone misses most of what's driving a patient's experience, and why that applies from day one of an acute injury, not just after the 91-day mark that turns pain "chronic."Mark tells the story of a student on his last clinical rotation who was so locked into test clusters and technique that he nearly missed a patient in visible distress, until one question about coping unlocked what she actually needed. Ben shares how a NICE-guideline question about cultural influence on pain has changed his intake conversations, plus the patient whose neck pain flared after an election result.They also dig into why "subjective" is the wrong word for a patient's story (it's not less-than the objective findings, it often predicts outcome better), how systemic biology shows up even when imaging and labs look "controlled," and why social and cultural context can make or break a treatment plan that's otherwise textbook-perfect.If you want a structured way to hold all of this in a session without turning it into another checklist, Mark and Ben mention the free Whole Person Reasoning guide, link below.LINKSFree Whole Person Reasoning guideJoin Modern Pain ProMore from Modern Pain Care#PhysicalTherapy #PainScience #BiopsychosocialModel*********************************************************************

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Lee Powers. The two talk about Lee Powers' extraordinary journey from a critical care patient to a wellness entrepreneur, the power of personalized medicine through tools like DNA cheek swabs, and the importance of advocacy and a whole-person approach to navigating today's complex healthcare landscape. In this episode, we discuss: How Lee Powers transformed a traumatic personal experience as a patient into a unique business model focused on personalized medicine and patient advocacy. What it means to approach healthcare using both clinical expertise and human compassion, and why that combination is crucial for better outcomes. When Lee realized the traditional healthcare system often fails to treat patients as unique individuals, she set out to fill that gap herself. Why a simple cheek swab to analyze your DNA can make a dramatic difference in how medications affect you, based on your unique genetic makeup. Who benefits from a health advocate? Anyone navigating a complicated health challenge or supporting a loved one in the medical system should consider working with someone who understands both the human and clinical sides. What actions the average person can take to advocate for themselves in today's healthcare environment, including the importance of having an advocate present during medical decisions. Lee Powers is a nurse, health advocate, and speaker dedicated to helping individuals improve their health, build resilience, and thrive through personalized wellness strategies. Combining clinical expertise with a compassionate, whole-person approach, she empowers people to take an active role in their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With a background in critical care nursing and advanced healthcare training, Lee brings a practical and relatable perspective to modern wellness. Her mission is to help individuals create sustainable habits, strengthen resilience, and embrace personalized approaches to health that support long-term vitality, performance, and quality of life.

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon explores why many traditional pain treatment approaches fall short when they focus too narrowly on the painful area or rely too heavily on technique.While biomechanics, anatomy and hands-on skills all have their place, persistent pain often requires a broader, more human-centred approach. Pain is influenced not only by joints, muscles and movement, but also by stress, sleep, physiology, emotional load, nervous system protection, beliefs, fear and lifestyle.Leigh discusses why practitioners can sometimes misjudge the true drivers of pain by narrowing their assessment too quickly, and why lasting change usually requires more than applying the right technique to the painful site.This episode also explores the difference between treatment and transformation, and why the goal should not be to create dependency, but to help people participate more fully in their own recovery.In this episode, Leigh discusses:Why focusing only on the painful site can miss the bigger pictureThe difference between technique and true transformationHow sleep, stress, physiology and emotional load can influence persistent painWhy nervous system protection matters in chronic painHow practitioners can communicate without increasing fear or threatWhy client participation is essential for long-term recoveryPractical questions that can expand assessment beyond biomechanics aloneBeyond The Pain: A Whole-Person Approach to Understanding Pain and Participating in RecoveryJoin the waitlist and get a free chapter:https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Pre-order the Kindle version on Amazon:https://amzn.to/4e0uAG6Connect with Leigh Brandon:Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme: https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

What if mental health care is overlooking key drivers of recovery?In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Kristian Ranta, founder of Meru Health, to explore a model that approaches mental health care differently by combining psychiatry, therapy, nutrition, metabolic health, sleep, exercise, coaching, and data-driven care.They discuss:Why nutrition and metabolic health are often overlooked in psychiatryThe connection between physical and mental healthWhy “treatment-resistant” may not tell the whole storyHow comprehensive lab testing can uncover hidden contributors to symptomsThe role of ketogenic and low-carbohydrate interventions in mental health careWearables, biofeedback, and personalized treatment approachesOutcome-based care and the future of psychiatric treatmentHow virtual care can expand access to underserved communitiesThis conversation highlights a growing movement toward whole-person mental health care, one that seeks to go beyond symptoms and understand the underlying factors that may be contributing to them.

Pain relief matters — but is it the same as recovery?In this solo episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon takes you behind the scenes of his new book, Beyond The Pain: A Whole-Person Approach to Understanding Pain and Participating in Recovery.After nearly three decades of working with people in persistent pain, Leigh shares why so many people experience temporary relief, only for their pain to return days, weeks, or months later. He explores why pain is often misunderstood when it is reduced to a body part, scan finding, diagnosis, posture issue, or single treatment approach.Through the story of Amelia, a client with recurring neck and shoulder pain, cervical spinal stenosis, fatigue, digestive issues, bloating and headaches, Leigh explains how structural, metabolic, lifestyle, emotional and nervous system factors can all interact to influence pain and recovery.This episode is not about blaming people for their pain. It is about helping people understand that they may have more influence over their recovery than they have been led to believe.In this episode, Leigh discusses:Why pain relief is not always the same as recoveryWhy persistent pain often returns after treatmentHow a diagnosis can be useful — but also limitingWhy pain should not always be viewed as a simple damage signalHow digestion, stress, inflammation, fatigue and movement patterns can all influence painWhy recovery often requires a whole-person frameworkThe difference between personal responsibility and blameWhy Beyond The Pain was writtenYou can find Leigh here:Beyond The Pain book Free Chapter:https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme:https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation/
In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Weiner shares her evolution from chief resident in interventional pain medicine to pioneering integrative practitioner who treats chronic pain through a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens. Double board-certified in Interventional Pain Medicine, Physical Medicine, and Rehabilitation, Dr. Weiner reveals why traditional procedure-focused approaches often fail chronic pain patients and how she discovered more effective ways to create lasting healing.Dr. Weiner's journey started with her background in nutritional science and athletics, leading her through physical medicine and rehabilitation before specializing in interventional pain. But day after day of performing procedures without truly connecting with patients left her frustrated and seeking deeper solutions. Her introduction to medical cannabis as chair of Florida's advisory committee opened her mind to personalized medicine and treating the whole person rather than just diagnosis codes.You'll hear about her unique approach to fibromyalgia, which she reframes as "central sensitization" to empower rather than limit patients. Dr. Weiner explains how trauma and adverse childhood experiences prime the nervous system for hyperreactivity, leading to chronic pain that becomes centrally mediated rather than structurally based. Her practice now integrates cannabis protocols, ketamine therapy, and comprehensive team-based care to address the root causes of both physical and emotional pain.Dr. Weiner also shares her personal ketamine experience during training, including a profound vision that later manifested in real life, demonstrating the spiritual dimension she now incorporates into treatment. You'll also hear practical insights about building an integrative practice, the importance of set and setting, and why true healing requires addressing the person with the diagnosis, not just the diagnosis itself.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Career transition insights - How Dr. Weiner evolved from high-volume interventional procedures to relationship-based integrative medicine and why she felt traditional approaches were "stringing patients along"· Central sensitization framework - Why she avoids the term "fibromyalgia" and instead explains central sensitization to empower patients and create hope rather than diagnostic limitations· Biopsychosocial-spiritual model - How incorporating the spiritual dimension creates awe-like effects and connections that traditional medicine misses, supported by neuroscience research· Medical cannabis integration - Her role on Florida's Medical Cannabis Advisory Committee and how cannabis opened conversations about personalized medicine and treating individual endocannabinoid systems· Trauma's role in chronic pain - How adverse childhood experiences and physical trauma prime the nervous system for hyperreactivity and chronic pain development· Practice building strategies - Practical advice about insurance credentialing, marketing to other providers, creating therapeutic environments, and building multidisciplinary teams· Set and setting importance - Why the physical environment, staff training, and patient preparation are crucial for maximizing ketamine therapy outcomes· Patient education approaches - How she explains that healing happens during the neuroplastic window after ketamine, not during the infusion itself, and why "more is not better"· Team-based care model - Working with coaches, therapists, and specialists trained in pain reprocessing therapy and somatic approaches to support comprehensive healingEpisode 57 show notes:00:00:00 - Teaser: Heart-Forward Medicine and True Passion 00:00:19 - Introduction and Dr. Weiner's Background Overview00:02:00 - Educational Journey: From Nutrition Science to Pain Medicine 00:05:13 - Colleague Reactions to Non-Traditional Approach00:08:37 - The Pivotal Moment: From Procedures to Purpose 00:11:04 - Cannabis Integration and Personalized Medicine Discovery 00:13:43 - Biopsychosocial Model and Pain Neuroscience Education 00:17:09 - Trauma Patterns and Chronic Pain Development 00:19:54 - Reframing Fibromyalgia as Central Sensitization 00:23:54 - Adding the Spiritual Dimension: Biopsychosocial-Spiritual Model 00:29:07 - Personal Ketamine Experience and Training Story 00:34:22 - Practice Building: From Employee to Business Owner 00:38:18 - Set and Setting: Creating Therapeutic Environments 00:41:48 - Patient Misconceptions and Education Strategies00:47:08 - Rapid Fire Questions: 00:53:55 - Advice to 18-Year-Old Self00:55:34 - Final Thoughts: Pain Complexity and Nervous System Healing 00:56:32 - Contact Information and Practice Locations 00:57:29 - Ending and Show ResourcesConnect with Dr. Weiner at:Website: www.drmichelleweiner.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-weiner-do-mph-276b34b9Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drmichelleweiner/

What if spiritual practices are about more than obligation or routine? What if they are actually part of how we experience renewal, resilience, peace, and emotional healing?In this episode, April Bordeau is joined by therapist Jean Crane to close out our May Mental Health Awareness Month series on whole-person wellness. Together, they explore how faith practices impact the body, mind, and spirit and why spiritual rhythms are an important part of emotional wellbeing and renewal.This conversation explores:How faith practices support mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healthThe connection between prayer, worship, gratitude, creativity, and nervous system regulationWhy silence, solitude, and rest matter for emotional wellbeingHow spiritual practices can reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelmThe role of Sabbath, stillness, and slowing down in a culture of constant productivityWhy faith practices are meant to bring connection and renewal rather than pressure or performanceHow spiritual rhythms help build resilience before difficult seasons comeNavigating faith practices during seasons of doubt, grief, spiritual struggle, or church hurtPractical ways to begin incorporating life-giving spiritual rhythms into daily lifeApril and Jean also discuss how spiritual practices can become legalistic or emotionally exhausting when disconnected from relationship, grace, and renewal, and they offer compassionate encouragement for those who feel spiritually tired, disconnected, or overwhelmed.Whether you are in a season of burnout, emotional fatigue, grief, anxiety, spiritual questioning, or simply longing for greater peace and connection, this episode offers practical encouragement and hope for caring for your whole self.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Spiritual Practices for the Brain by Anne Kertz KernionEmbracing Rhythms of Work and Rest by Ruth Haley BartonRelated Topics:Prayer and nervous system regulationSilence and solitudeGratitude and emotional wellnessWorship and connectionSabbath and restCreativity and emotional healingAt Care to Change, we believe healing happens when we care for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

Health care should not be designed around fragments of a person's life. It should be built around the whole person, with data, intelligence, and ownership working together. In this episode, Nasim Afsar, author of Intelligent Health and former Chief Health Officer at Oracle Health, joins Don Berwick and Kedar Mate to discuss how technology can transform healthcare from reactive and fragmented to personalized and proactive. Drawing on her experience as a hospitalist, quality leader, health system COO, and health tech executive, Dr. Afsar explains why healthcare systems often fail when they prioritize institutional needs over patient realities. She shares the story of Elena, a patient labeled “noncompliant” whose challenges were actually tied to homelessness, insurance loss, and a care plan disconnected from her daily life. Dr. Afsar also outlines the three pillars of Intelligent Health: integrating clinical and social data, applying intelligence to generate foresight and insights, and creating systems driven by consumers themselves. Tune in and learn how intelligent health can give people more agency, more personalized support, and a better chance at living healthier lives.

“Words give feelings meaning.” —Dr. Drew RoseMental health is often treated as something separate from physical health, even though the two are closely connected.In this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Dr. Michelle Niesley sits down with Dr. Drew Rose to talk through how a whole-person approach can support mental and emotional well-being.Dr. Drew shares how factors like nutrient levels, inflammation, and daily habits can influence mood and mental clarity. They discuss the role of lab testing in identifying potential imbalances in vitamin D, B vitamins, magnesium, and fatty acids, and how these factors work together.Sleep is a major part of the conversation. You'll hear why restorative sleep matters for the nervous system and how small changes in sleep habits can support better consistency over time. They also touch on circadian rhythm, light exposure, and common disruptions that affect rest.The discussion also explores the role of therapy and the importance of having the right support system in place. Mental health care often works best as a collaborative effort, where lifestyle, nutrition, and emotional support are all part of the picture.They also walk through practical ways to begin making changes, including spending time outdoors, moving, and creating space for rest. The focus stays on building a foundation that supports both mental and physical well-being.For a deeper look at this topic, Dr. Drew expands on these ideas in his article:

The Gut-Brain Connection. Dr. Scott Faulkner guest-hosts this Health and Wellness Wednesday on Rush To Reason and dives headfirst into one of the fastest-growing frontiers in medicine: the microbiome. Joined by Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and microbiome expert Jenny Olson, the hour explores how gut health may influence nearly everything from immune strength and brain function to inflammation, energy, mood, and chronic disease. Why are so many people struggling with bloating, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and food sensitivities while being told their labs are “normal”? The conversation uncovers the dangers of overusing antibiotics, processed foods, excess sugar, and broad-spectrum treatments that may quietly damage the gut ecosystem for months or even years. Jenny Olson explains leaky gut, SIBO, dysbiosis, and the gut-brain connection in understandable, practical terms. The hour also highlights advanced stool testing, spore-based probiotics, regenerative medicine, and new therapies being added at Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare. Hour one provides simple, practical tips for supporting your gut health, making it easy to start taking action today. HOUR 2 The 12-Step Microbiome Reset That Could Change Everything. Hour 2 takes listeners deeper into the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, microbiome science, and biologic age reversal. Dr. Scott, Jeremy, and Nathan explore a provocative idea: what if many surgeries, chronic conditions, and “normal aging” symptoms could be delayed, reduced, or even avoided by rebuilding the body from the inside out? Nathan shares how regenerative orthopedics is changing the conversation around joint pain, spine injuries, inflammation, and chronic fatigue. The discussion then pivots into an ambitious 12-week microbiome reset designed to detoxify the body, repair gut integrity, restore mitochondrial function, and rebuild healthy bacterial ecosystems. From fasting and autophagy to advanced genomic stool testing, targeted probiotics, fermented foods, methylation pathways, and mitochondrial support, the hour connects seemingly unrelated symptoms like anxiety, obesity, fibromyalgia, brain fog, depression, hormone imbalance, and chronic pain back to microbiome dysfunction. HOUR 3 Optimizing the Whole Person, Not Just Treating Symptoms. Hour 3 brings together everything Dr. Scott Faulkner, Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and Jenny Olson introduced throughout the day. What begins as a recap of the microbiome “12-step reset” quickly expands into a much larger conversation about the future of medicine itself. The team explains how testing, fasting, detoxification, mitochondrial support, synbiotics, stress reduction, and lifestyle optimization can work together to rebuild the body's internal ecosystem rather than simply masking symptoms. But the hour goes beyond gut health alone. Nathan shares how regenerative medicine may help patients avoid surgery through therapies such as stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, StemWave, and other treatments and detox protocols. The team also unveils ambitious new concierge-style health memberships designed around biological age reversal, advanced cancer screening, microbiome testing, longevity therapies, and full-body optimization. Throughout the discussion, one central theme keeps emerging: healthcare may be entering a new era in which the goal is no longer just treating disease but extending healthspan.

The Gut-Brain Connection. Dr. Scott Faulkner guest-hosts this Health and Wellness Wednesday on Rush To Reason and dives headfirst into one of the fastest-growing frontiers in medicine: the microbiome. Joined by Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and microbiome expert Jenny Olson, the hour explores how gut health may influence nearly everything from immune strength and brain function to inflammation, energy, mood, and chronic disease. Why are so many people struggling with bloating, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and food sensitivities while being told their labs are “normal”? The conversation uncovers the dangers of overusing antibiotics, processed foods, excess sugar, and broad-spectrum treatments that may quietly damage the gut ecosystem for months or even years. Jenny Olson explains leaky gut, SIBO, dysbiosis, and the gut-brain connection in understandable, practical terms. The hour also highlights advanced stool testing, spore-based probiotics, regenerative medicine, and new therapies being added at Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare. Hour one provides simple, practical tips for supporting your gut health, making it easy to start taking action today. HOUR 2 The 12-Step Microbiome Reset That Could Change Everything. Hour 2 takes listeners deeper into the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, microbiome science, and biologic age reversal. Dr. Scott, Jeremy, and Nathan explore a provocative idea: what if many surgeries, chronic conditions, and “normal aging” symptoms could be delayed, reduced, or even avoided by rebuilding the body from the inside out? Nathan shares how regenerative orthopedics is changing the conversation around joint pain, spine injuries, inflammation, and chronic fatigue.

This week, Jake and Bob discuss the framework and theology behind the JPII Healing Center's "Healing the Whole Person" retreat. They begin by exploring how Christ's wounded yet glorified body reveals the path of redemption for every human life. Then, they reflect on how healing is essential to Christianity, how purgatory is ultimately about healing the soul, and how grace restores integration to our whole being. All suffering can become redemptive when united to Christ and they invite you into a journey of becoming whole, ordered, and ready for communion with God. Key Points: Healing is not a niche aspect of Christianity but an essential dimension of discipleship. Christ's resurrected wounds reveal that suffering can be transformed into glory. Every person is invited to become like Christ by allowing their wounds to be redeemed. True healing brings us into wholeness and communion, not just relief from pain. Purgatory is best understood as a final state of purification and healing. The purpose of all healing is to prepare us for communion with God. Sin causes disintegration within the human person and in relationships. The Trinity is the model of perfect communion. Human identity is fundamentally relational—we are made by, from, and for relationship. There are four primary relationships: with God, others, self, and creation. Emotional dysfunction often reveals areas of unhealed wounds. Disconnection between body and soul leads to fragmentation and relational breakdown. Technology can create the illusion of communion without its true depth. Authentic communion requires presence, embodiment, and vulnerability. Suffering becomes redemptive when it draws us into deeper trust and union with God. The ultimate goal of healing is to make us capable of the beatific vision—eternal communion with God.

Faith always has a public facet. It is lived out in the public sphere, in our day-to-day lives, our families and friendships, in those we encounter as we walk down the street, as we think about how the most vulnerable amongst us are treated and valued in society. We see this in the current interactions between religious and political leaders, as we touch on in our introductory conversation, and in how subjects like addiction are talked about, particularly in understandings of faith. We are please to welcome Dr. Quentin Genuis, emergency physician at St. Paul's Hospital, ethicist, and author of Recovering People: Addiction, Personhood, and the Life of the Church. Bringing together his hospital work and theological degree, Quentin shares stories and insights shaped by close encounters with people living with addiction. Together, we explore how common frameworks, seeing addiction as either a matter of choice or purely a disease, fall short. Instead, Quintin offers a “personal model,” one that takes seriously the full humanity of each person. Addiction, in this view, is often a search for good things: belonging, peace, joy, and healing—but sought in ways that ultimately do not lead to life. What might it mean to move beyond labels and diagnoses, to see the whole person in front of us?

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is one such tool that is reshaping treatment paradigms through a nuanced understanding of energy, tissue regeneration, and integrated care. ### Embracing Change: Avoiding the Routine For medical professionals, it is not just about the basics of diagnosis and medication. The key lies in understanding whether your approach is injecting energy into both your practice and your patients, or merely echoing mundane outcomes. At the core of every treatment decision should be the consideration, "Does this give you energy, or does this drain your energy?" This grounds practitioners in ensuring that their methods are invigorating rather than depleting—for both themselves and their patients. ### The Power of Small Changes in Patient Outcomes FSM allows for significant life changes in a short span, effectively targeting inflammatory cytokines and alleviating nerve pain. Its transformative potential extends to treating conditions previously thought unmanageable. The ability to slow the progression of degenerative diseases such as ALS, MS, and Parkinson's has offered hope where little existed. Practitioners report significant improvements not just in day-to-day pain management but in enhancing a patient's quality of life. This is especially resonant in conditions like fibromyalgia and post-stroke recovery, where FSM can tap into the body's self-restorative capabilities, mediated strongly by the vagus nerve. ### The Multipronged Approach to Complex Conditions FSM challenges the notion of singular causality in ailments like concussion or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Often, the underlying issues necessitate a holistic approach, looking beyond the immediate manifestations to uncover deeper physiological and energetic blockages. It demands that practitioners treat the whole person, redefining the idea of intervention from acute response to integrated healing. In medical practice, even acknowledging a patient's background—be they a former athlete or someone with a chronic health condition—can illuminate pathways for unique interventions. Understanding the person, not just the disease, helps practitioners target the treatment more effectively. ### Learning and Adaptation The inherent beauty of this therapy lies in its dynamic nature, inviting practitioners to learn something new with each patient interaction. Every case is an opportunity to apply innovative thinking, continually questioning and challenging what medical norms have set as incurable. Sitting with the discomfort of not having all the answers and having the courage to keep questioning are essential traits for practitioners aiming to break new ground. Unlocking the power of FSM is not merely about applying the technology but understanding its broader implications for medical practice, offering a kind of salvation to those whose ailments have left them with little hope.

In this powerful and human-centered conversation, Bart sits down with Dr. Robert Piccinini, President of the American Osteopathic Association and practicing osteopathic psychiatrist, to explore what healthcare looks like when you truly treat the whole person. From a childhood moment caring for his father at age four to leading one of the largest medical associations in the country, Dr. Piccinini shares the values that shaped his journey: empathy, service, and responsibility. He explains how osteopathic medicine goes beyond symptoms to understand lifestyle, environment, and emotional well-being—and why helping patients help themselves is at the core of true healing. This episode blends leadership, medicine, and humanity into a conversation about what it really means to care.Major Takeaways / Learnings• Whole-person care changes outcomes. Treating lifestyle, environment, and mindset—not just symptoms—leads to better health.• Healing isn't always about medication. Sometimes the biggest impact comes from helping people change habits and perspectives.• Purpose can start early. A simple childhood moment can shape a lifetime of service.• Leadership is about responsibility. Dr. Piccinini views his role as leaving the profession better for the next generation.• Service over self wins long-term. The osteopathic model prioritizes patients over profit.• Mental health requires balance. Even physicians must “charge their batteries” to care for others effectively.• Worry is natural — paralysis is not. Managing uncertainty starts with small, intentional actions.• Awareness is a leadership skill. “Reading the room” is essential for effective leadership and human connection.Memorable Quotes“Most people don't read the room.”“It's not always about adding a medication — it's about helping the person help themselves.”“Treat the whole person, not just the symptom.”“Start each day with a grateful heart.”“If not me, then who?”“Worry isn't unhealthy — paralysis is.” Why It Matters / How to Use ItThis episode is a reminder that the best leadership—whether in healthcare, business, or life—starts with understanding people deeply. Dr. Piccinini's approach challenges the transactional mindset that dominates many industries and replaces it with something more powerful: care, awareness, and responsibility. Whether you're leading a team, supporting others, or navigating your own challenges, the lesson is clear: real impact comes from seeing the full picture, not just the surface. When you treat people as whole individuals—and stay aware of the “room” you're in—you create better outcomes for everyone.
In this episode of Catholic Moms in the Middle, Jennie shares powerful insights from her experience at the John Paul II Healing Center's Healing the Whole Person retreat. She explores the reality that we all carry wounds and that healing is an ongoing part of our journey to holiness.

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 2: An Elevator for Small Children. We talk about the quiet places of discouragement, and self-reliance that keep us striving instead of surrendering. We also reflect about how radical dependence on God is not laziness, the subtle ways we resist being little before a loving Father, and how our poverty is a doorway into deeper trust. This week, we invite you to fall into the Father's arms, allow Him to pick you up, and rest in the One who delights in you. Heather's One Thing - The Prince of Egypt Movie Sister Miriam's One Thing - Bishop Erik Varden's Lenten Reflections to Pope Leo (I especially recommend the reflections entitled: Bernard the Idealist, God's Help, Becoming Free, and Splendour of Truth) Michelle's One Thing - Art Lectio Instagram Account Journal Questions: Where are you feeling discouraged? Where do I experience self-reliance, codependency, or hypervigilance in my life? When in the past have I made agreements that I have to rely on myself and fix everything? Where am I living out a pattern of childhood wounds and identities? Discussion Questions: How have you experienced failure this Lent? When do I grasp, kick, and flail like a child in my spiritual life? When did God last remind you that you are not God? How did your heart respond to it? Where is God inviting you to embrace your littleness rather than run from it? Quote to Ponder: "Being little means not attributing to ourselves the virtues we practice, or believing ourselves capable of anything, but recognizing that God places this treasure in the hands of His little child so that she can use it when she needs it; but the treasure is still God's." (St. Thérèse of Lisieux) Scripture for Lectio: "All you who labor, who are bent under the weight of your burden, who find the demands of the Law too heavy, come to me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

What if your symptoms weren't signs of failure… but intelligent messages from your body?
Mental health isn't just about diagnoses and prescriptions, it's about the whole person. In Episode 159 of NHA Today, host Eileen Kopsaftis sits down with licensed professional counselor Kylea Rorabaugh to explore a whole-person approach to mental and emotional well-being.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Alexes Hazen—board-certified plastic surgeon, microsurgery specialist, and founder of Zen Essentials—for a thoughtful conversation on skin health, ethical aesthetics, and why real results can never be separated from whole-body well-being. With a background that spans public health, global medicine, and some of the most technically demanding surgical training, Dr. Hazen brings a rare depth to how she thinks about beauty, healing, and care.Her path to medicine was anything but linear. From working with the New York City Department of Health during the AIDS crisis to serving in the Peace Corps in Honduras, Dr. Hazen learned early that medicine isn't just technical—it's human. Those experiences shaped a philosophy she carries into every aspect of her work today: outcomes are influenced as much by mental health, sleep, nutrition, and support systems as they are by surgical skill.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Hazen challenges the surface-level thinking that dominates skincare culture. Skin, she reminds us, is an organ—and it reflects what's happening internally. No product can compensate for chronic stress, dehydration, or exhaustion. When those fundamentals are addressed, skincare finally has the space to work as it should.She also speaks candidly about ethics in aesthetic medicine—why board certification matters, why saying “no” is sometimes the most responsible choice, and how listening to patients should always come before selling solutions.That same restraint and intention led to the creation of Zen Essentials, born from Dr. Hazen's own struggles with severe skin sensitivities. Designed to be effective yet calming, the line reflects her belief that skincare should support the body—not fight it.Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Alexes Hazen unpack holistic healing, ethical aesthetics, and why real skin health starts with caring for the whole person.SHOP Zen Essentials and learn more on social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Guest Welcome(0:46) - A Nonlinear Path Into Medicine(1:26) - Public Health, AIDS Education & the Peace Corps(2:46) - Falling in Love With Surgery & Plastic Surgery Training(3:01) - Early Burn Injury, Scars & Coming Full Circle(4:12) - Why Holistic Care Matters in Surgical Outcomes(8:40) - Skin as a Reflection of Whole-Body Health(11:22) - Ethics, Training & Responsibility in Aesthetic Surgery(26:21) - The Origins of Zen Essentials & Sensitive Skin SciencePlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.
