Mind Your Health Podcast with Dr. Connie Cheung

The Mind Your Health Podcast is about all things Gut Health! As a healthcare practitioner with over 25 years of experience, Dr. Connie Cheung focuses on a holistic approach integrating her educational background in Psychology, Nutrition, Physical Therapy, Functional Medicine, and Yoga. She started the Mind Your Health Podcast to help as many people as possible get rid of pesky gut symptoms so that they can look and feel their best while living their fullest lives. Dr. Connie has struggled and lived with life threatening autoimmune conditions, and she’s personally experienced the limitations in our current medical and holistic healthcare systems. She finds that our current health and wellness systems are broken due to their over-emphasis on treating only the parts and pieces of the puzzle, rather than considering the WHOLE body. It’s her mission in life to help those suffering from chronic symptoms or illnesses by helping them get to the TRUE root cause, as opposed to offering surface level approaches that fail to address the whole body. Gut health is the foundation for optimal health. In the Mind Your Health Podcast, Dr. Connie shares her knowledge and personal EXPERIENCE, while providing simple and practical solutions that are not only scientifically based, but timeless and effective which will help deliver long-term vitality and health from the inside-out. Her unique perspective in putting together both Eastern and Western medical concepts in an easy-to-follow framework that you can easily APPLY in your own life will be life changing, giving you confidence in yourself to live your healthiest life. Your mind will be blown at how easy it is to heal your own body when you finally activate your GUT and BRAIN to work together in synergy to have a positive effect on your whole body. You’ll learn that your WHOLE body is bigger than the sum of its parts.

This week we are kicking off part 1 of a 3-part podcast series where I'll be sharing my personal story and how Functional Yoga Medicine™ and the Dr. Connie Cheung brand came to be. I've also brought my Integrator, Leslie, on the show to interview me and help me bring out the best parts of my story that I believe will be most beneficial to you. By sharing my story, my hope is that you're able to bring greater awareness to where you are in your own healing journey and figure out exactly what it is that you're needing in order to create the health you want to have.


In part 1, I'll be talking all about RELATIONSHIPS. We all know that good nutrition, exercise, and stress management promote optimal health, but there are many things that fly under the radar that have just as much of an influence on our health – our relationships being one of them. So listen as I share about different relationships from my childhood through my adult years, and how these relationships had a direct effect on my health, despite all the healthy behaviors I thought I was doing right.


In this episode, I share about:
📍The conditioning, or "programming", I received as a child, and how this created an identity that influenced all my behaviors as I got older
📍How the way I perceived myself allowed me to succeed in my education, but ultimately led to my sickness as well
📍The truth about why negative relationships (with people, food, exercise, etc.) harm our health
📍The MOST important relationship you can have that will determine your outcome with your symptoms/disease


And be sure to tune in next week for part 2, as I talk more about my personal health journey leading up to my autoimmune diagnosis, along with all the health modalities I tried that worked and did NOT work.

Both women and men can experience a belly pooch or belly bulge, along with gut issues such as bloating, gas, constipation, and digestive discomfort. So what do most do? Try to get rid of it with typical weight loss tactics, including dieting and exercising.
But if you have a belly pooch and also struggle with pain (especially low back pain), gut issues, and poor posture, stability, and core strength, the truth is that you might have diastasis recti.

Diastasis recti is when the 6-pack muscles separate from being stretched out, and can cause the belly to bulge out. 60-70% of pregnant women suffer from diastasis recti due to the stretching of the belly during pregnancy.

So if you have a belly pooch that refuses to go away no matter how much you've tried to diet and exercise, this episode is for you. Listen as Dr. Connie, a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in Women's Health, explains diastasis recti and what you can do to treat it.

In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, you'll discover:
📌What diastasis recti is, and an easy way to determine if you have it
📌Causes and common symptoms of diastasis recti
📌How to treat diastasis recti and reverse the symptoms that come with it
📌More serious issues that can happen when diastasis recti goes untreated
📌How the pelvic floor plays a role in diastasis recti, and why most women are doing their Kegels wrong
📌The relationship between gut health and diastasis recti, and why changing your diet  alone won't get rid of your pooch

Want to learn some core focused exercises to help you treat and prevent diastasis recti? Follow Dr. Connie on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcQ8ySs38wLcDpp4-VJrdhQ),

For most people who want to improve their nutrition, they often seek to gain more KNOWLEDGE. They read books, seek out experts, or search the internet for the best foods to eat or the best diet to try.
But the truth is that we cannot achieve optimal health and well-being from knowledge alone. Application + EXPERIENCE is what gets us the health we are wanting to achieve, and this is where Yoga comes into play.
The practice of Yoga is an integration of the body and mind for self exploration and growth. But in order to get the most out of the Yoga practice, it's essential that you are adequately nourished.
In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, Dr. Connie aims to help you integrate and optimize the effects of both Yoga + Nutrition in a way that connects the body and the mind, allowing you to applying your knowledge so that you can EXPERIENCE the health results you're looking for, once and for all.
If you've been trying diet after diet or exercise after exercise with little to no results, this episode is for you.
You'll discover:
✅Why most diets are fragmented pieces of a larger puzzle, and how principle based nutrition is the way to discover the best diet for YOU
✅Why people fail to become "well" when they're immersed in the medical system
✅How to become "internally guided" on your health and wellness journey, rather than having to rely on the next best fad diet, supplement, doctor, or expert for answers
✅A brief look into Eastern Philosophical Principles that successfully integrate Yoga + Nutrition for optimal health and wellness, and how you can apply these principles into your own life

🚨This episode is for those of you who shrug off seemingly minor aches and pains, yet continually struggle with gut issues and difficulty losing weight.

Many people live with day-to-day aches and pains and ignore them for years because the pains don't actually prevent them from living their lives. But did you know that those minor aches can actually lead to systemic inflammation that makes it almost impossible to lose weight? Listen to this powerful episode where I'll help you connect the dots between your physical body and your metabolism and digestive system so that you can not only optimize your health, but lose stubborn weight once and for all WITHOUT having to rely on a diet.

In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, you'll discover:
✅The connection between minor repetitive injury, systemic inflammation, and weight gain
✅The reason why your hormones and metabolism can make weight loss difficult to achieve
✅Why we tend to ignore minor injuries, despite the fact that the repetition of small injuries causes more harm than a singular bad injury
✅The truth about why the medical system is limited in its ability to help you address repetitive injuries that cause weight gain
✅How to prevent repetitive injury, and what you can do RIGHT NOW to promote healing that allows you to easily lose stubborn weight
