In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Cedric Bertelli, founder of the Emotional Health Institute, discusses his methodology, Emotional Resolution (EMRS), which addresses emotional imprints through somatic neuroscience. Inspired by his grandfather's resilience post-WWII, Cedric developed EMRS to help individuals resolve emotional patterns by feeling physical sensations without control. He explains that the brain predicts emotions based on past experiences, often rooted in trauma, and EMRS allows these predictions to play out naturally, updating the brain's response.   For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/cedric-bertelli    Highlights from today's episode include:  Emotions are outdated predictions: Debilitating emotions are often outdated predictions from the brain, triggered when current stimuli resemble elements from past traumatic moments. The body then recreates old physical sensations (interoception), even when they're no longer relevant. Resolution by fully feeling sensations (90 seconds) : If a person can safely stay with the raw physical sensations of an emotion—without trying to regulate, fix, or control them—the interoceptive wave naturally completes within about 30–90 seconds, and the brain updates its prediction, so the same stimulus no longer triggers that reaction. Stop building stories; stay with the body: Manon emphasizes the importance of not creating or feeding mental stories about what we feel. By witnessing the emotion innocently and staying with the body's sensations rather than the narrative, we allow real resolution instead of reinforcing the pattern.   ABOUT CEDRIC BERTELLI: Cedric Bertelli is the founder of the Emotional Health Institute and co-developer of Emotional Resolution® & EmRes®, a somatic, neuroscience-based approach for resolving emotional imprints. Before dedicating himself to emotional health, Cedric spent more than a decade in the hospitality industry, including leadership roles with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where he developed a deep understanding of human behavior and service. Over the past 15 years, he has trained practitioners across the world, guided thousands of clients, and partnered with researchers at UCLA and UCSF to advance the scientific foundations of EmRes. His work focuses on making emotional healing simple, effective, and accessible so people can live with greater clarity, ease, and resilience. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to help people reconnect with their natural capacity to resolve emotional pain. Not to manage it, not to suppress it, and not to build workarounds around it — but to truly resolve it at the physiological level so they can live with more freedom, presence, and ease. –  Facebook |  Instagram |  Website | LinkedIn | YouTube |   ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, RBHT, FCAH: As a retired Naturopath 1992-2021, I saw an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're exploring one of the most empowering decisions women can make for their reproductive future: fertility preservation through egg freezing.Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Jamie Knopman, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and co-author of the upcoming book "Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future." Dr. Knopman serves as Director of Fertility Preservation for CCRM Fertility of New York and is a leading advocate for women's reproductive health education.Dr. Knopman shares why egg freezing is "the new sunscreen"—a preventative measure that gives women control over their reproductive timeline. She explains the ideal age to freeze eggs (hint: it's younger than you think), debunks common myths about the birth control pill and fertility, and reveals how the vitrification process has revolutionized success rates since 2011.This conversation covers the complete egg freezing process from start to finish, the recovery timeline, how employee benefits are changing to support fertility preservation, and why reproductive health education should start as early as high school. Dr. Knopman also discusses fertility planning for LGBTQ+ couples, the importance of understanding your menstrual cycle, and how egg freezing fits into the broader picture of reproductive rights and body autonomy.This episode is for you if if you're in your 20s or early 30s planning your career and future family, considering egg freezing but unsure where to start, working in HR and evaluating fertility benefits for employees, part of the LGBTQ+ community exploring family-building options, a parent wanting to educate your daughters about reproductive health, or a healthcare professional seeking to better counsel patients on fertility preservation.Pre-order "Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future" Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Fertility-Freezing-Surrogacy/dp/1324111488] Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/own-your-fertility-jaime-knopman/1147402776 Audible:

What if your body has been trying to tell you something all along—and you just didn't know how to listen? Twenty-five years ago, Inna was trapped in chronic pain. Psoriasis covered her body. She could barely walk due to back issues. She struggled with anxiety, depression, and digestive problems. She was stuck in the medical system, being told her conditions were genetic and permanent, taking medications that didn't work. Then, at age 20, she lost her baby. And in the depths of that grief and physical agony, one statement from her chiropractor changed everything: "Your body wants to be stuck." That single sentence—which initially enraged her—became the doorway to her awakening. Because it made her realize: if her body WANTS something, it has intelligence. It has language. It's trying to communicate. That night, she placed her hands on her back, breathed, and asked a simple question: "What does my back look like? Why am I in pain?" What happened next awakened an ability that would eventually help tens of thousands of people across the globe. She could suddenly SEE inside her body. She understood the emotional, psychological, and ancestral patterns creating her physical symptoms. And within three weeks, she healed conditions she'd been told were permanent. In this deeply moving conversation, we explore: The Journey to Awakening Inna shares her full story—from growing up in Belarus and being raised to believe doctors were half-gods, to moving to Australia and being bullied, to the pregnancy and loss that became her breaking point, to the moment she took radical responsibility for her own healing and everything changed. How Medical Intuition Actually Works Inna explains how she learned to see into people's energy fields and bodies—from the first time she saw a cartoon liver above her friend's head, to working with a medical doctor who had her place acupuncture needles based on what she was seeing, to learning how to turn the ability on and off so she didn't go insane. The Logic of the Body This is one of my favorite parts of our conversation. Inna breaks down why the body is completely logical—not random, not punishing, but communicating with incredible intelligence. Every symptom has layers of meaning. Every disease has a story. And when you understand the logic, you can begin to heal. What Your Symptoms Are Really Telling You We dive deep into specific body parts and systems: Why your immune system breaks down (insecurity, inner conflict, self-neglect, stress, not being able to say no) What back pain is really about (lack of support—both emotional AND financial) Why skin issues appear (not feeling safe, not belonging, ancestral trauma) How your digestive system holds loss and grief The Power of Color Healing Inna teaches how color is directly connected to emotion, and how you can use color intentionally every single day to shift your state. She shares stories of using pink light for protection, green for manifestation, and how wearing different colors changes how you feel, think, and show up in the world. Taking Radical Responsibility We discuss what it really means to move from being a victim of your body to being the healer of your body. This isn't about blaming yourself for illness—it's about recognizing that you have power, intelligence, and the ability to participate in your own healing. Ancestral Trauma in the Body Inna explains how family patterns and generational trauma show up in your physical body—in your digestive system, your immune response, your nervous system. She shares her own story of recognizing her grandmother's trauma living in her body. Practical Self-Healing Techniques Throughout the conversation, Inna shares tangible practices you can use immediately—from breathing into pain, to asking your body questions, to using color intentionally, to working with pressure points and movement. The Difference Between Caring and Carrying One insight that really struck me was Ina's distinction between caring for people and carrying them. This is huge for healers, coaches, yoga teachers, and anyone in helping professions. Why Healing Pulls You Toward Knowing Yourself Ina's closing wisdom is so powerful: "Healing always pulls you toward knowing you. You cannot heal without self-knowledge. The more you dive in, the more you realize what a layered person you are and how beautifully colorful and complex you are on the soul level." This episode is for anyone dealing with chronic health issues, anyone who feels stuck in their body, healers and coaches who want to understand the deeper layers of what's happening with their clients, yoga teachers, energy workers, bodyworkers, and anyone curious about the profound intelligence of the body. GUEST BIO: Inna Segal is an internationally recognized healer, bestselling author, speaker, and intuitive guide. Born in Belarus and raised in Italy and Australia, Ina's journey to becoming a medical intuitive began after her own healing crisis at age 20. For over 25 years, she has worked with tens of thousands of clients across six continents, helping them decode their body's messages and activate their innate healing abilities. She is the author of The Secret Language of Your Body and is currently writing a book on the 8 Stages of Healing.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Ken Blackman who discusses the dynamics of breakups, highlighting that anxiously attached individuals often initiate them. Blackman advocates for building relationships that provide mutual support, especially during challenging times, to foster long-term happiness and health. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/ken-blackman    Highlights from today's episode include:  Ken explains Chemistry vs. intimacy: A great relationship needs both spark and the safety to be fully yourself, not constantly "protecting the vibe." Ken explains Healthy breakup: A loving split sounds like "I see you, I get what you need, it's valid—but it's outside my range," with mutual respect, grief, and relief. Manon explains Real freedom: What feels most free is not many partners, but being completely yourself—"weirdness" and all—with one person who truly gets you.   ABOUT KEN BLACKMAN: A former Apple engineer turned relationship mindset coach and intimacy educator, Ken Blackman is currently celebrating his 25th year helping couples co-create a thriving, fulfilling life partnership and a gourmet love life. His work has garnered mentions in Business Insider, Playboy, Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour series, Cosmopolitan, and elsewhere. He's a regular featured contributor to The Good Men Project, Better Humans, and his own Medium publication, The Craft of Intimate Coupledom. Core purpose/passion: I think my superpower as a relationship coach is to be a translator and help them see and understand each other. I tend to listen and ask, listen and ask, until I feel like I see the world through one partner's eyes.

When you look in the mirror, what's the first story you tell yourself about your body? If you're like most midlife women, that internal dialogue is often rooted in criticism, comparison, and the relentless pressure to "fix" an aging body that was never broken in the first place.In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa sits down with registered dietitian and body image coach Deb Benfield to explore how internalized ageism and diet culture keep us disconnected from our bodies—and what it takes to reclaim body trust, pleasure, and freedom in midlife and beyond.Deb Benfield, M.Ed., RDN, LDN, RYT, is a Registered Dietitian, nutrition therapist, and body image coach with 40 years of experience helping people heal their relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. Her work sits at the intersection of anti-ageism, body liberation, and trauma-informed care—offering a radically compassionate alternative to diet and wellness culture, especially for those in midlife and beyond. After turning 60, Deb began questioning the dominant narratives around aging, vitality, and beauty, and quickly realized how many resources still centered weight loss and youthful appearance as ultimate goals. In response, she created what she couldn't find: a framework for nourishing the body that honors inner wisdom, prioritizes vitality, and embraces the full spectrum of aging. She's the author of Unapologetic Aging: How to Mend and Nourish Your Relationship with Your Body, and she offers individual and group coaching to help her clients age unapologetically—on their own terms.Highlights from our discussion include:Understanding Your Body StoryYour Body Is Your Life Partner, Not Your Life's ProjectInternalized Ageism Keeps You StuckDiet Culture Fuels Hypervigilance, Not HealthRebuilding Body Trust Through EmbodimentRedefining Intimacy and Pleasure in MidlifeGLP-1 Medications: A Complex DecisionPermission to Stop ApologizingWhat if you stopped treating your body like a problem to solve and started honoring it as the life partner it's always been?This episode is an invitation home—to your body, your pleasure, and your power.

Fertility is often treated like a guarantee until it isn't.I wanted this conversation because I see so many women doing everything “right” in life, only to feel blindsided when fertility doesn't align with their timeline. We talk about why fertility is not one thing, how egg quality and quantity change over time, and why having regular cycles doesn't always mean fertility is intact. We also unpack what egg freezing actually offers, who it's for, and how modern fertility care has expanded options far beyond what most of us were taught.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to health coach and nervous system expert Mitch Webb who shares his powerful journey from biohacking and forcing his body to heal, to embracing trauma-informed, somatic, and nervous system-based healing. Discover how shifting from survival mode to self-trust and gentle awareness can transform chronic symptoms and expand your capacity for life. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/mitch-webb     Highlights from today's episode include:  Force vs. healing: Mitch describes how intense biohacking, strict diets, and "overwhelming force" helped only temporarily—true, sustainable healing began when he addressed unresolved trauma and his nervous system. Sensitization & safety: Mitch explains sensitization (chronic hyper-vigilance, fear, and shrinking life) and how building safety, capacity, and self-trust through somatic and nervous system work allowed his symptoms to ease and his life to expand. Bowen as a doorway to safety: Manon highlights how Bowen therapy can gently guide the body out of constant sympathetic overdrive, helping people slow down, become observers of their physical experience, and open another doorway into the deeper healing process.   ABOUT MITCH WEBB: Mitch Webb is a health coach and nervous system expert who helps clients heal from the inside out. He works one-on-one with people dealing with gut issues, anxiety, autoimmune symptoms, fatigue, burnout, and other chronic conditions that haven't resolved through conventional approaches. Mitch blends functional health principles with deep nervous system work to get to the root cause—so healing isn't just a quick fix, it's sustainable. His approach is trauma-informed, body-based, and tailored to the individual. If you're ready to feel like yourself again, Mitch helps you get there.

Perimenopause isn't just hot flashes and mood shifts — for many women, it can be a silent fertility disruptor. In today's episode of Living Life Naturally, Lynne Wadsworth sits down with Dr. Jaime Knopman, double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and fertility expert, to talk about what's really happening with egg quality, ovulation, IVF outcomes, and why so many women feel dismissed or misdiagnosed in midlife. We also explore practical ways to advocate for better care — from tracking cycles and symptoms, to bringing a "plus one" to appointments, to understanding why hormones can be tricky to measure in a single blood draw. And if someone you love is navigating infertility, Dr. Knopman shares one of the most powerful reminders: presence matters more than perfect words. You'll learn: How perimenopause impacts fertility and IVF success Why cycles become irregular and timing gets harder What egg freezing can do (and when it's most effective) Why symptom + cycle tracking can be more helpful than "one lab test" How to advocate for yourself at the doctor — and what to bring to appointment How to support a loved one going through infertility (without saying the wrong thing) Guest: Dr. Jaime Knopman — Medical Director of Chick Mission; former Director of Fertility Preservation at CCRM NY; Castle Connolly Top Doctor; author of Own Your Fertility. In this episode, we cover: Perimenopause & fertility Why egg quantity and quality decline in perimenopause How irregular ovulation can make conception harder What it means for IVF outcomes and pregnancy viability Egg freezing & planning ahead Why freezing eggs earlier can change options later "Serving as your own egg donor" — what that really means Why women get missed or dismissed Menopause "having its moment" — and why that matters Why infertility deserves to be part of the menopause conversation too How to support someone in infertility The power of simply showing up What to say when you're afraid of saying the wrong thing Being present in someone else's discomfort Hormone testing + advocating for care Why hormones aren't a simple snapshot The value of tracking cycles + symptoms   Why progesterone can swing dramatically Questions to bring to your appointment + why a "plus one" helps HRT, bioidenticals & pellets Why symptom relief often matters more than chasing a number Different options work for different bodies (no one-size-fits-all) Mentioned in this episode: ·         Book: Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy — How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future (also available at Amazon or Barnes & Noble) Connect with Dr. Jaime Knopman Website: https://drjaimeknopman.com/ Connect with Lynne Join the Facebook community: Energized Healthy Women's Club         Website:  https://holistic-healthandwellness.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/holistichealthandwellnessllc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynnewadsworth LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnewadsworth

Sixth Christmas Weekday after Epiphany - He Must Increase in Your Soul

Catholic Daily Reflections

Read Online“Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing and everyone is coming to him.” John answered and said, “No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said that I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before him. The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease.” John 3:26–30John the Baptist's words are filled with humility and truth. Imagine the scene. John had acquired quite a following. His ministry was flourishing, and many people were coming to him to receive his baptism of repentance. Then, suddenly, Jesus appeared and began to gather His own followers, including some of John's disciples.Human weakness and sin led some of John's remaining disciples to feel envious and jealous as Jesus' ministry grew. They perceived Jesus' success as surpassing their own, leading them to desire what Jesus and His disciples had and feel discontented with their own circumstances. They were also jealous of the potential loss of their status within what seemed to be John's diminishing ministry.John, however, felt no envy or jealousy. He rejoiced greatly at Jesus' arrival because he knew that his ministry existed solely to point people to Jesus. The fulfillment of John's ministry was, in fact, its completion, as it gave way to the establishment and growth of Jesus' ministry. His final words to his disciples must continuously echo within our own minds and hearts: “He must increase; I must decrease.”We can apply John's humble words to our own souls by acknowledging that every good thing in our lives is a gift from God, not the result of our own efforts. For this reason, God's influence in our lives must increase while our control decreases. This is humbling because the closer we become united to Christ, the less we can take credit for our own actions. If God uses us, He deserves the glory, not us. Envy may tempt us to take credit for our own goodness and to feel discontent when others do not praise us. Jealousy may tempt us to hold on to self-righteousness, honors, and spiritual consolations when we are called to live more sacrificially and selflessly.Like John, as our Lord increases within us, exercising His sacred ministry within our souls, we must see ourselves as the best man at a wedding, rejoicing that the Groom has arrived, and pointing only to Him, rather than to ourselves. Just as John's mission was to prepare the way for Christ and then step aside, our efforts at conversion and repentance should culminate in Christ taking over. We must become His Body: His hands, His feet, and His heart. He must take over, and our will must become His will; our charity, His charity; our lives, His life. With Saint Paul, we must long for the day when we can cry out, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me…” (Galatians 2:20). Reflect today on the conclusion of John's ministry as the beginning of Jesus' ministry. See John's decrease and Christ's increase as a model for your own soul. Consider all the effort you have put into repenting, turning from sin, and turning to God. See that effort as preparation for Jesus to take over. Let Him take over, and give Him all the credit and glory. Pray that He increases in your life to the point that it is no longer you who lives, but Christ Who lives in you. My transforming Lord, You invite me to embrace the humility of Saint John the Baptist so that my human effort, my actions, and all that I am will diminish as You take over my life. Please humble me, Lord, and transform me, making me into Your Body in the world. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Master of the Life of Saint John the Baptist, RiminiDaderot, CC0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Frank, who discussed his mental health struggles, including major depressive disorder and chronic suicidal ideation, and how humor helps him cope. Frank emphasized the importance of starting conversations about suicide, noting that one person dies by suicide every 40 seconds globally. He highlighted the need for empathy and intervention to prevent suicides, sharing stories of how his talks have helped individuals. Frank aims to save a life a day through his work. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/frank-king     Highlights from today's episode include:  For some people, suicide is always an option their brain offers, even for small problems (e.g., car breaks down: "fix it / buy a new one / kill myself").  Naming it ("chronic suicidal ideation") helps people realize they're not freaks and not alone, which can be profoundly relieving and life-changing. Suicide often results from a cascade of factors, like a car accident with many causes (nighttime, rain, slick road, etc.). A simple intervention—someone asking, "Are you okay?" or showing they care—can interrupt that cascade and literally save a life (e.g., Kevin Hines on the Golden Gate Bridge). You highlight that in contexts like MAID in Canada, people are often met with serious validation of ending life but not always offered a gap—humor, caring connection, or alternative ways of seeing their situation.   ABOUT FRANK KING: Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, speaker and comedian for 39. His speaking is informed by his lifetime of Depression and Suicidality and coming close enough to ending his life that he can tell you what the barrel of his gun tastes like. Turning that long dark journey of the soul into 13 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with corporations, and associations. He's shared the stage with comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jung, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, and Bill Hicks, as well as entertainers, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, Randy Travis, and Nancy Wilson. On top of all of that, he has survived 2 aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search and has lived to joke about it all.

 "Stop reaching externally for answers because intuitively, if you really, really sit quietly with yourself and feel, you have all the answers for yourself." —Dr. Jennifer Haley   Our skin reacts long before we slow down enough to notice. Breakouts, inflammation, and chronic issues often point to patterns we normalize every day, from food choices to stress to environmental exposure. This conversation cuts through noise and shame and brings the focus back to what our bodies are already telling us. Dr. Jennifer Haley shares how her background in nutrition and dermatology reshaped the way she treats skin, not as an isolated problem but as part of a larger system connected to gut health, hormones, and the brain. Listen with an open mind and a grocery list nearby. Skin as a reflection of internal health Acne, rosacea, and the gut-skin-brain connection How food quality and blood sugar affect inflammation Dairy, processed foods, and hormone disruption The role of stress, cortisol, and nervous system balance Organic foods, pesticides, and everyday exposure Why moderation works better than restriction Cyclical health needs for women across life stages Trusting intuition over rigid wellness rules   Meet Jennifer:  Dr. Jennifer Haley is a board-certified dermatologist with nearly 22 years of experience and a strong background in nutrition. After earning her undergraduate degree in nutrition from Cornell University, she built her practice around a holistic approach to skin health, integrating nutrition and wellness into dermatological care. Dr. Haley is an advocate for education and patient empowerment. She is actively involved in developing AI platforms for dermatology, hosts her own podcast "Radiance Revealed," and shares insights into skin health and lifestyle.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Kristine, a clinical hypnotherapist and CEO of Journeys to Heal Inc., and shares her journey from accounting to hypnotherapy. Kristine emphasized the importance of addressing subconscious programming, using techniques like hypnotherapy, breathwork, and NLP to help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom.  For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/kristine-ovsepian    Highlights from today's episode include:  Kristine explains that hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious/unconscious (about 88% of our programming) and releasing the root stories, memories, and emotions, rather than just putting a "band-aid" on stress, anxiety, panic, or depression.   Kristine says you must reprogram negative childhood conditioning.  Much of the "I'm not good enough / I can't" programming comes from childhood voices (often parents, teachers, bullies). The mind can be reprogrammed, like uninstalling and installing apps: we can replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones through positive suggestions and hypnotherapy.   Manon agrees Don't wait for collapse—honor misalignment early.  You highlight that when what we're doing doesn't feel aligned, we can either wait until the body and mind break down (as in Kristine's story) or we can listen earlier, notice that "this isn't right," and start actively exploring what truly brings joy and purpose.   ABOUT KRISTINE OVSEPIAN: As a clinical hypnotherapist with a Master's in Psychology, blending science and spirit to support deep healing and transformation. Through hypnotherapy, breathwork, past life regression, quantum healing, NLP, EFT, and manifestation coaching, I help others reconnect with their inner wisdom and divine power.

Looking at what you may be depleted in to refuel.”  “I want to really change that narrative of what we do for our health, how we think of ourselves in health, and start those conversations earlier.”  “I think resilience is key. But many times we have to practice it. We have to be expanded to come back, and if we don't allow for that growth, then we are not resilient.

Because the other problem is that these doctors are often doling out pharmaceuticals for sleep.” ”We now know that the impact of declining estrogen and progesterone on the brain [and] on the nervous system absolutely has an impact on anxiety, depression, and sleep.”  RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ order https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101585564-17091761 Dr. Aviva Romm's Website Dr. Aviva Romm on Instagram Dr. Aviva Romm's Podcast: On Health  RELATED EPISODES  701: Mood Swings, Brain Fog & Exhaustion: The Hormone Conversation You Deserve with Dr. Carrie Jones 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 689: The Hidden Brain Shift: Why Perimenopause Symptoms Start Earlier Than You Think 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause 673: From Fatigued to Energized: Reclaiming Sleep in Midlife With Evidence-Based Solutions

Inna shares her extraordinary personal journey from debilitating chronic illness and profound grief to discovering her intuitive healing abilities — and dedicating her life to helping others reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies.

It's the time of year when millions of people quit alcohol for 30 days. Most go right back February 1st. Four years ago, that was my plan too. But when I quit drinking, I liked the benefits so much that my 30-day challenge turned into 60, then 90, and now here we are: 1400 days later. Maybe you've noticed the drinking creeping up. Used to be weekends. Now it's most nights. You're wondering if that's concerning. Maybe you're getting older and starting to take your health more seriously. Maybe you're not a big drinker, but you want a challenge. I know a lot of you are into self-improvement. This is a habit that actually delivers. So in this video, I want to walk you through what happens when you quit. Day by day. Day 0 to 365. What the science says, what I actually felt, and most importantly, the stuff I wish someone told me before I started. Heads up: If you're a heavy drinker, check with a doctor first. Alcohol withdrawal is one of the few that can actually be dangerous. I'm just a guy who quit and wants to share what helped. Not a doctor.

Sara Billups (type 4, 4-5 pairing), author of "Nervous Systems: Spiritual Practices to Calm Anxiety in Your Body, the Church, and Politics," joins us for a conversation about anxiety that's especially needed as we head into Christmas. Sara explores how anxiety manifests in three interconnected ways, and how couples who are in the sandwich generation (Millennial, Gen X especially) navigate personal anxiety, church disillusionment, and political division all at once as their nervous systems rise up in anxiety. Drawing from her experience caregiving for aging ill parents while parenting teens with their own anxiety along with her own anxiety, Sara offers wisdom for couples in the sandwich generation stretched thin caring for multiple generations while trying to protect their marriage. She also unpacks scrupulosity and how being trained to pursue "being good" is often far from healthy holiness, especially for those raised evangelical, and how this performance anxiety shows up in marriage. Sara's prescription for anxiety is holy indifference, the Ignatian concept of open-handedness toward both blessings and trials, not as giving up but as giving into the Spirit, and what this looks like practically when anxious about outcomes or when life isn't going as hoped. Rather than offering prescriptive how-to lists, Sara offered a soothing balm for anxious hearts heading into holiday chaos. Find "Nervous Systems" wherever books are sold. Watch on YouTube, too!

I'm one of millions of women specifically trying to parent themselves while parenting children… and it can be seriously exhausting. And when childhood trauma still comes back to haunt us in midlife and beyond, life can feel impossible.  That's why I've invited trauma expert Anna Runkle on for this powerful episode to help unpack why so many midlife women are still impacted by old trauma, and how that buried stress shows up in our bodies.  We dive into the hidden ways trauma can lead us to isolate, dysregulate our nervous system, and disrupt key hormones like cortisol, dopamine, and serotonin.  Anna and I break down how this cascade of stress and deregulation can spark inflammation, oxidative stress, blood-sugar swings, and even contribute to autoimmune issues that so many women face.  But most importantly, Anna shares simple, compassionate tools to help regulate your nervous system and finally begin healing the deeper patterns driving overwhelm in midlife.  Ready to feel more grounded in this season of life? Hit play and listen now! Anna Runkle Anna Runkle is the creator of the popular YouTube channel, blog, courses, and coaching programs that provide tools for adults to heal dysregulation and other common trauma symptoms, helping them feel better and change their lives. Anna's methods were developed through research, her mentoring of hundreds of individuals over the years, and her direct experience healing her own symptoms of early trauma. She's the author of Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck and Connectability: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel (At Last) Like You Belong.  IN THIS EPISODE Understanding nervous system deregulation  How Anna learned to adapt after childhood trauma  Symptoms that can manifest from over-functioning  How to manage stressors and stay regulated day to day  Top ways we can start to regulate, especially when deregulated  How connection can be a huge tool for healing  Free resources and where you can find more from Anna!  QUOTES“All these weird symptoms that I had… It's neurological dysregulation. It's really normal. Everybody gets dysregulated sometimes, but those of us who are traumatized as kids are often more prone to it. It happens more easily. It's more intense. It's harder to get out of.” “Early trauma is very strongly correlated later in life with high rates of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, reproductive disorders, just about everything bad.” “Those three things– dysregulation, disconnection, and self-defeating behavior– those are the things that can just take you out and keep you stuck in trauma forever. So the good news is you can learn to reregulate.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Anna's Book: CONNECTABILITY: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, And Feel (At Last) Like You Belong HERE Order Anna's other book: Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck HERE Anna's Website Anna Runkle on YouTube Anna Runkle on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  681: The Biology of Trauma: How Stress Gets Stored in Your Body (and Passed On to Your Kids) and How You Can Start To Heal with Dr. Aimie Apigian #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey 685: End Emotional Outsourcing: Break Free from Codependency, Perfectionism & People-Pleasing with Beatriz Albina #308: What Is Trauma and How Does It Make Us Sick? with Dr. Elena Villanueva

Dr. G dismantles the biohacking industry, lab-obsessed wellness culture, and guru worship that's stolen your internal compass. This isn't another podcast about blood markers, cold plunges, or longevity hacks—it's a wake-up call about the spiritual crisis masquerading as chronic illness. The controversial truth? Your chronic disease isn't a diet problem or a supplement deficiency. It's your soul suffocating under a life you weren't meant to live. In this game-changing episode, Dr. G reveals why vibrant health has nothing to do with perfect biomarkers and everything to do with embodied purpose. He exposes the three non-negotiable biological rhythms that—when ignored—create the chronic stress, inflammation, and disconnection driving your unexplained symptoms. But here's what the wellness industry won't tell you: "If you are not letting your soul create every single day, you will feel like you are suffocating. Creation is the very essence of God." After losing his mother at 59—before she could live her retirement dreams in Mexico—Dr. G delivers an urgent message about the cost of postponing your truth. This episode will make you question every health decision you've outsourced to Huberman, Attia, or the latest biohacking trend. Discover why your nervous system is screaming for alignment, not another protocol. In This Episode: • Why health is a subjective spiritual experience—not objective lab numbers or longevity metrics • The soul's blueprint for vitality: creation, deep human connection, and nature's rhythm • How chronic illness is a biological message that you're living out of sync with your purpose • Why the Sahara tribe lives disease-free (and what modern life is destroying in your body) • The internal compass test: how to know if a health expert is feeding you truth or fear • Dr. G's personal story of loss and the urgency of creative expression before it's too late • The "soul-sucking" job connection to autoimmune disease, anxiety, and burnout • Why feeling alone is a biological imperative—not just an emotional experience • The nature prescription: how many days you need outside for every week in the city • How to activate your God-given right to overflowing vitality (and stop letting gurus save you) If you're exhausted from perfect eating, optimal sleep tracking, and endless supplements—but still feel disconnected, anxious, or chronically unwell—this episode reveals the embodied truth your nervous system has been waiting for.
