This week's Mind Your Health podcast is a special one. I interviewed my colleague and friend Aaron, who is a successful entrepreneur. He's special because it took many years for him to finally understand the "root" cause of his mysterious symptoms and go within to uncover the hidden traumas that many of us unknowingly struggle with. 

When traumas and emotional events happen to us throughout our life, the effects of these events become "stuck" in our nervous system and influence the outcomes in our lives, including our health. Whether it's a breakup, divorce, the death of a loved one, job loss, financial struggles, family issues, etc., we all experience losses and hardships, which makes us all human. Yet even though the event has passed, so many of us hold onto the memory of it, which unconsciously determines our future. And this is why many people tend to "relive" the past over and over again.

This is why I consider Yoga a powerful tool to heal ourselves from the inside-out because it reflects our mind back to us, allowing us to process, metabolize, and let go of circumstances and events that don't serve our well-being. Being aware of our tendencies to stay stuck in the past or project fear onto the future keeps us in a loop of suffering and misery.

Hormones are chemical messengers that impact your overall health and metabolism, and hormones play a huge role in weight loss.

If you've been struggling with weight gain, hormonal imbalance may be the culprit. When we think of hormones, we typically think of sex hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. But there are other hormones that exist in the body and all hormones interact together to produce a metabolic effect in your body.

In this week's Mind Your Health podcast, we discuss the vital role your hormones play in your weight and metabolism, and more importantly, what you can do to balance your hormones and achieve your ideal weight with ease.

Be sure to tune into this episode to discover...

-How all hormones work together in the body to create balance...or dysfunction, including weight gain

-How your mind and emotions influence your hormone functioning (and are more powerful than hormone replacement therapy)

-How you can finally break the cycle of hormone dysregulation and be free from symptoms and weight gain

We have aspects of ourselves that we are "aware" (conscious) of, and we also have aspects of ourselves that we are "unaware" (subconscious) of. But did you know that the subconscious parts of you actually dictate your self image and how you see yourself? And how we see ourselves dictates our abilities and what we are capable of.

This is significant because while most of us think we are aware and in control over what we say and do, a more substantial part of us may be sabotaging our very efforts, especially when it comes to our health, and this can negatively affect the results we're trying to create for ourselves. And this all happens without us even being aware of it! 🤯

So what creates this subconscious "script" which dictates our beliefs and behaviors? Often, it forms in childhood as a result of various emotional experiences we had, positive or negative. These experiences become the "baseline" by which we live the rest of our lives.

In this episode of the Mind Your Health Podcast, Dr. Connie shares her childhood conditioning and trauma that was revealed to her later in life, and how the subconscious beliefs she formed early on led her to create an identity that silently told her she was not good enough, which led her to abuse her body and mind through overexercise and over dieting, just to feel good enough about herself.

In this episode, you'll discover...

✅ The effect of your parents' or caregivers' beliefs and values on how you live your life today

✅ Subtle forms of trauma that we tend to overlook, yet have a tremendous effect on our mental and physical health

✅ Tools you can use to help you look within and become aware of generational patterns and beliefs that are keeping you from achieving the health and life you want to have

If you struggle with feeling good about yourself, or just can't seem to achieve the health results you want despite everything you try, this may drastically change your perspective. It's a must-listen!

Spark Passion in Your Relationship Through Self-Love, Trust, and Honesty

If you are like most, you didn't exactly learn how to set healthy boundaries or the ability to communicate authentically in your home.  This single, profound realization can catapult your relationships to a new level, especially with your partner.

How do I know? I've spent years frustrated with various relationships, trying to "fix" my partner, only to learn patterns in my thoughts, feelings, and actions that were contributing to my angst.  Frankly, I used to think relationship problems were all my partner's fault, and only when I began to "own" my part in the matter was I able to cultivate a loving relationship that I had only dreamt of before.

Relationships can make or break you. They're something worth fighting for, but I meet many patients who have built self-protecting barriers without realizing it, which effect how they show up in their relationships.

The truth is that most of us didn't learn healthy communication or boundaries growing up, and it becomes a real problem for us as adults. There are patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be rooted in generational trauma.  

So, if you want to create the loving relationship you've always wanted, it's time to get honest with yourself because the only way to upgrade your relationship skills is to be truthful about who you are.  Do differently and listen to this power-packed episode all about finding that spark and passion in your relationship!

Here's what you'll discover in this episode:

• Why self-awareness and communication play a role in the health of your relationships
• How to own your emotional baggage (which every person has) so that it doesn't tarnish your connection with your partner
• Using self love and your partner's love language to ignite a fresh new spark that leads to deeper connection
