When we think of Yoga, we find ourselves thinking about the workout, maybe even the serenity it gave us for an hour or so. There is so much more that Yoga can offer. Yoga benefits our body and mind in many ways that we might not even realize what’s happening inside of our body when we practice.
There is a deep connection between our physiology, nervous system and mind that is heavily influenced by our breath and movement with Yoga. This happens when we practice properly and by not over exerting ourselves because we think that a Yoga pose has to look a certain way. Tapping into this connection occurs when we fully align during our practice, by rebalancing our chakras and intentionally moving, breathing and challenging ourselves.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
🌿 The neurological connection between our skeletal system and mind, and how Yoga promotes this connection for optimal wellbeing
🌿 How chakras relate to our glands, and how we can improve our wellbeing by balancing our chakras
🌿 What the 8 Limbs of Yoga are and why it is important to understand them when practicing yoga
🌿 How nutrition plays a role in our yoga practice and our day to day mindfulness
Understanding just how our physical being impacts our energy, hormones and mental health is a part of practicing Yoga intentionally.

Have you ever experienced the frustration of being caught in a never-ending loop when it comes to your health? As a health professional and patient myself, I have also experienced confusion and disappointment when it came to my health issues. Today, I share my personal experiences from both sides of the healthcare system and discuss why there are fundamental problems with how care is provided and how these problems contribute to a never-ending cycle of sickness.
As the founder of Functional Yoga Medicine, I have been incredibly intentional with the methodology behind my healing methods. By combining my 27 years of experience as a Physical Therapist, Registered Dietitian, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and Yoga Instructor, I have found a way to blend Western and Eastern medicine with the practice of Yoga in a way that truly integrates healing.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
🌿 WHY our broken healthcare system keeps patients sick
🌿 The limitations I experienced both as practitioner and patient, and how Functional Yoga Medicine came to be as a result
🌿 How to take your health into your own hands so you never have to become dependent on the healthcare system
🌿 How to address health issues at the root cause

This episode of the Mind Your Health Show is Part 2 of a two part series! If you haven’t yet listened to Part 1, click here to listen now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij4BoIRtxaQ
In Part 1, we integrated Eastern and Western Medicine philosophies by exploring the relationship between our hormones and our chakras. In this episode, we will dive deeper into the causes of blocked chakras, which results in hormonal imbalance.
Remember, hormones are chemical messengers that are influenced by our energy and state of being. And what determines our state of being? Our feelings and emotions.
So in this episode, we will explore the feelings associated with each chakra when it is balanced and imbalanced, and what you can bring attention to in order to start balancing your chakras to regulate your hormones.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
🧘 The 7 chakras and the feelings associated when each chakra is balanced
🧘 The 7 chakras and the feelings associated when each chakra is imbalanced
🧘 Symptoms of hormonal imbalance associated with each chakra
🧘 How to use Yoga to shift your energy within to bring balance, regulation, and harmony to all chakras and hormones

This episode of the Mind Your Health Show is Part 1 of a two part series!
The aim of Functional Yoga Medicine™ is to integrate the best practices of Eastern and Western Medicine to provide you with a complete and holistic approach to your healing so that you can effectively get rid of unwanted symptoms.
Hormones are chemical messengers in the body that communicate with one another and command our organs and body systems to function. But our hormones are heavily influenced by our energy or state of being.
When something feels off, Western Medicine doctors can test our hormones, but they typically only test and address singular hormones, then prescribe medication for one hormone. Not to mention, these lab results can change dramatically at any moment, depending on our state of being.
But here's the truth: because all our hormones are interconnected and communicate with each other, it's not effective to address just ONE hormone. So how can we address and balance all hormones in the body? By balancing our chakra system.
Chakras, a foundational pillar of Eastern Medicine philosophy, are vortexes of energy in the body that correspond to and influence specific glands and hormones. Unless we address our state of being and balance the energy of our chakras, our hormones stand no chance at achieving balance.
In this episode, you'll discover:
🧘 How our ENERGY influences our body function, and why Western Medicine labs can be unreliable as a result
🧘 The faulty effects of hormone medication on our gland function and hormone production
🧘 The 7 chakras in the body, the hormones they are associated with, and the impact of chakra imbalance on our hormones
🧘 How to use Yoga and meditation as a tool for balancing chakras so that you can naturally balance hormones to get rid of unwanted symptoms
