What if the key to healing your body is trapped deep inside your nervous system?

You've probably heard that changing your mindset can change your health. While there's truth to that, it's missing something crucial. 

Dr. Katie sits down with Jakob Gričar, a trauma-informed coach and somatic expert, to explore why so many people spend years in therapy without real relief. He shares why  when you work with your nervous system and embrace the physical sensations you've been avoiding, you access healing that talk therapy alone misses.

Chapters:
00:06:00 – Why basic tools still dysregulate you
00:08:11 – When your trauma runs the show
00:09:55 – What somatic work actually is
00:12:21 – Let your pain tell you its story
00:17:26 – Fasting as a portal for emotional healing
00:20:32 – Fall in love with your condition
00:29:30 – Why you should not heal alone
00:33:09 – How to feel sensations instead of thoughts
00:41:00 – The cost of ignoring your inner truth
00:44:09 – Four pillars of real healing in the body

Jakob shares his own journey from chronic skin disease to complete healing, and reveals why being present with pain (rather than numbing it) might be your most powerful tool. 

Whether you're dealing with cancer, chronic illness, or just feeling stuck in patterns you can't break, this conversation will offer you a fresh perspective.
Dr. Katie and Jakob explore how everything from relationships to physical symptoms can trace back to nervous system dysregulation, and why creating calm in your body is the foundation for everything else.

You'll hear simple techniques to regulate your nervous system, understand when you need professional support and discover why authenticity isn't just a buzzword but a biological necessity. 

Listen and learn why denying what you know to be true about your life can literally make you sick, and what happens when you finally align with your authentic self.

What if the real healing from cancer isn't solely focused on making the tumor disappear, but transforming the person carrying it?

When therapist Geneva Jacobs learned she had cancer, she remembered watching her mother go through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries at the same age. 

She knew she'd take a different path. That decision led her to a 29-day water fast that changed everything about who she is. 

Dr. Katie Deming guides you through Geneva’s story of profound transformation, where morning energy replaced exhaustion, introversion shifted to connection, and paralyzing fear dissolved into peace.

Chapters:
02:08 – Why she refused chemo after her diagnosis
04:15 – From night owl to morning person overnight
07:26 – Fear drops away and calm returns
11:40 – The refeeding epiphany hits hard
14:58 – The hawk appears at the perfect moment
20:24 – Why connection during fasting changes everything
28:43 – Dropping below the waves of emotion
33:47 – Her tumor stayed and she's grateful for it
35:20 – Mitophagy, what fasting really does
44:30 – Integration matters more than the fast itself

You'll hear how Geneva's fast brought unexpected changes she never saw coming like experiencing a spiritual awakening that revealed the perfection in her journey.  Discover why Geneva calls it the most powerful healing experience of her life. 

Dr. Katie explains why these shifts matter just as much as what happens to the tumor, diving into the science of mitochondrial healing and why fixing your cellular energy might be the key to everything.

This conversation challenges everything you think you know about successful cancer treatment.  If you've ever felt confused about what "healing" really means, or worried that you're not doing enough, this conversation offers a completely different lens for understanding your journey.

Listen and learn why the most profound healing often happens in ways you can't see on a scan, and how giving your body a chance to reset at the cellular level might unlock the vibrant life you've

What if the cancer treatment that works best is the one pharmaceutical companies can't profit from? 

What if one of the cancer treatments that works best is the one the pharmaceutical companies can't profit from?!

Dr. Katie sits down again with Professor Thomas Seyfried to explore why the medical system resists alternative approaches to a disease that claims over 1,700 lives daily in the U.S., and what's actually driving cancer at the cellular level. They reveal a specific therapeutic strategy that targets both fuels cancer cells depend on to survive.

Dr. Seyfried explains how cancer isn't the genetic lottery you've been led to believe, it's a metabolic condition with a metabolic solution. 

You'll learn why your body's normal cells thrive on completely different fuel than cancer cells do, and how a compound called DON (a glutamine antagonist) combined with therapeutic ketosis creates conditions where healthy cells flourish while cancer cells can't survive. 

Chapters:
00:13:25 – Starving the Tumor
00:16:22 – The Banned Cancer Drug
00:21:03 – Beyond the Keto Diet
00:32:00 – Why Healing Threatens the ‘System’
00:37:15 – The Genetic Myth

Dr. Katie and Dr. Seyfried discuss the practical challenges patients face when trying to find providers who understand this science, why measuring your glucose-ketone index matters more than following any specific meal plan.

Dr. Seyfried's research team is seeing remarkable outcomes in advanced cases that conventional medicine has given up on, and he shares exactly what that approach looks like.

Listen and learn why the paradigm shift in cancer management isn't just coming, it's already here, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.

What if your body isn't broken, but speaking a language you haven't learned to understand yet?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Amy and Andrey Derevyanko, creators of an app helping everyday people explore the emotional roots of physical illness. Using principles from German New Medicine, their tool connects what’s happening in your body to what’s happened in your life.

Amy shares her journey from health anxiety to empowerment and how learning her body’s language changed everything. Andrey explains why he built the app after watching that transformation up close.

Whether you’re facing chronic pain, mysterious symptoms, or serious illness, this conversation makes the case that your body deserves your curiosity, not your fear. 

And that partnership between you and your physical self? That's where real healing begins. Dr. Katie even shares how the app helped her uncover the emotional link behind her own knee pain.

Listen and learn how to stop seeing your body as the enemy and start hearing what it’s been trying to tell you all along.

What if cancer is a teacher inviting you to uncover the imbalances in your life?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Brandon LaGreca, an licensed acupuncturist, author, and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who once faced stage IV lymphoma, to explore a completely different lens on cancer.

Brandon shares how Chinese medicine views cancer not as bad luck, but as a messenger pointing toward imbalances in our emotional, physical, and spiritual lives.

He breaks down the difference between *how* we get cancer (external carcinogens) and *why* we get cancer (internal emotional patterns), offering a framework that finally makes sense of why some people develop cancer while others don't.

Chapters:

00:10:00 - Understanding Stress vs. Trauma
00:15:00 - Cancer as Teacher, Not Enemy

00:36:00 - The Five Elements and Emotional Roots of Cancer

Brandon also shares his personal journey through stage four lymphoma and the profound shift that came from viewing cancer as an invitation to restore agency and live more authentically.

You'll discover how cancer can become your greatest teacher if you're willing to listen, and why restoring agency and accentuating life matter more than simply extending it.

Listen and hear, Brandon's personal vision that helped him outlive his prognosis and discover how confronting mortality can actually bring you back to life.

Christie is a mindset coach who has walked through her own cancer diagnosis and now the loss of her soulmate of 37 years.

What if the very services meant to ease your symptoms could also extend your life and yet most people don’t learn about them until it’s far too late?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Lisa Tartaglia, a dual board-certified palliative care and hospice physician, to clear up the confusion around two of healthcare's most misunderstood services.

You'll discover the real difference between palliative care and hospice, and why both focus on helping you live fully rather than simply managing decline.  Her approach challenges the common belief that these services are only for the final days of life. Dr. Tartaglia reveals why patients who receive hospice services earlier often live longer and with greater peace, plus the specific questions to ask when evaluating providers in your area.

Chapters:
05:10 Why symptoms matter more than stage
13:20 Meeting patients where they are
23:55 How a palliative consult actually works
35:45 What hospice really provides at home
42:30 How to choose the right hospice

Dr. Tartaglia shares her unique perspective as someone who's guided thousands of families through these decisions over two decades of practice. This conversation offers practical guidance you won't find in most doctor's offices. Dr. Tartaglia explains when someone qualifies for these services, how to choose the right provider, and why early involvement leads to better outcomes.

You’ll learn how to have conversations with your healthcare team about symptom management and quality of life services. They also discuss why staying true to yourself, rather than identifying completely with your diagnosis, plays a crucial role in your healing journey.

Listen and understand how these services could transform your experience with chronic illness, whether you're dealing with cancer, heart failure, or other challenging health conditions.
