  • Audio mixing

    Five stars for content but the ads are very very loud in comparison with the podcast volume. I hope this can be fixed

  • Feeling torn

    I think this podcast is so incredibly helpful, I have been listening to it for years. However lately it is less about content and more about promotion: intrusive ads with no warning, constant self promotion of her coaching business, membership levels, books, courses, omega, etc. it’s become unlistenable. It doesn’t feel authentic anymore.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
From the Vault: REAL TIME HEAL - When Emotions Turn Into Pain: Migraines and Neck Pain with Heather
Q: How has the sense of control over pain shifted for you as you've learned these tools?
Heather describes realizing that migraines and neck pain are not fully controllable, which has reduced fear and allowed her to apply self-soothing techniques and reframe pain as a signal guided by her nervous system rather than a fate locked in.
From the Vault: REAL TIME HEAL - When Emotions Turn Into Pain: Migraines and Neck Pain with Heather
Q: So Heather, tell me about your journaling practice and how JournalSpeak has fit into your healing.
Heather explains she started with unstructured journaling to vent fears, memories, and bodily sensations, gradually using it to release the emotional load and lower the pain reservoir, though she has slipped off the practice at times when healing was going well.
From the Vault: Long Covid Recovery and Releasing Fear with Jessica
Q: What is your best advice for someone facing fear of long-term symptoms?
Accept that feelings may be intense and that healing is a process; allow pain and emotions to be felt without judgment, use journaling and inner child work, and gradually rest with intention while seeking supportive medical confirmation when needed.
