  • Gentle critique

    Several years ago I found this podcast and devoured every episode - some on repeat. I do not listen regularly anymore, in part because I’m out of the desperation that drew me to listen so devotedly for years. Lately - and especially in the recent conversation with the amazing Dr. Schubiner - I have wished Nicole would dial herself down a bit and adopt a less manic tone. I know she’s confident and wildly passionate about her work, but I tuned in to hear Dr. Schubiner and mostly what I got was Ni... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nicole Sachs on The Jordan Harbinger Show: Chronic Pain, MindBody Healing, and the Questions Skeptics Are Right to Ask
Q: You mentioned pain meds don't work for chronic pain; can you explain why and what alternatives you recommend?
Chronic pain is driven by a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, not just tissue injury; medications may mask symptoms but don't address the underlying dysregulation. Sachs advocates mind-body approaches, journaling to process emotions, and neurobiological understanding to reduce symptom firing.
From the Vault: Chronic Lyme, Mold Toxicity, Severe IBS, and more with Suzanne
Q: And how did you turn the corner into this mind-body work?
She explains the turning point came through exposure to mind-body concepts via podcasts and journal-based practices, recognizing that relief began when the nervous system could feel safe and regulated, and that the breakthrough required consistent application of JournalSpeak and related techniques even through setbacks.
From the Vault: Chronic Lyme, Mold Toxicity, Severe IBS, and more with Suzanne
Q: So wait, before I let you go on Suzanne, I want you to tell people and me, what exactly were your symptoms?
Suzanne describes a wide-ranging set of symptoms affecting every body system, with particularly debilitating gut issues (IBS), neurological symptoms, skin problems, and weight fluctuations, all contributing to years of distress before the mind-body framework offered a new way to understand and approach them.
Neuroplastic Pain, TMS, and the Science of Unlearning Chronic Symptoms with Dr. Howard Schubiner
Q: What was the pushback like when you started implementing mind-body approaches in a conventional medical environment?
There was skepticism and resistance, as many doctors were trained in traditional biomedical models. Over time, as data accumulated and research in mind-body therapies grew—especially with PRT and EAAT—these approaches started gaining traction in CME and medical literature, though the acceptance is gradual.
Neuroplastic Pain, TMS, and the Science of Unlearning Chronic Symptoms with Dr. Howard Schubiner
Q: So Howard, tell me about the journey that brought you to mind-body medicine and what pushed you to set up a clinic around this work?
The journey began after a traditional medical career where I became curious about how the mind could affect the body. Reading Dr. Sarno's work, meeting him, and seeing a patient recover without surgery convinced me to pursue this approach and establish a clinic to explore mind-body connections in chronic pain.

It's probably especially resonant for listeners seeking non-pharmacological answers, patient empowerment, and a grounded, science-informed yet compassionate approach to healing.
