In this episode, we dive deep into separation conflicts - specifically, separation conflicts that affect the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis are some of the common diagnosis labels associated with this type of conflict! We share some resolution stories and explore the common “push-pull” nature of these conflicts, where the psyche perceives wanting to either draw someone close or push them away. You'll learn how this biological response plays out in symptoms like peeling, cracking, itchy, red, and/or painful skin.

We also tackle a hot topic: topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) - why some people experience worsening symptoms after stopping steroids and how this relates to the underlying separation conflicts. Plus, we discuss the general use of extraneous agents such as creams, supplements, and treatments - do they help or hinder the healing process?

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic skin issues (NOT acne - there’s a whole separate episode for that! See episode 16) and felt trapped in the cycle of treating symptoms without lasting resolution, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sophie Fletcher, a practitioner whose work blends Germanic New Medicine (GNM), somatic psychology, and nervous system healing to reveal the profound wisdom of the body. We discuss how symptoms can be understood as meaningful responses to life’s events, the connection between GNM and nervous system resiliency, and why your body is never wrong or broken. We also unpack the complex topic of resiliency, and how to understand nervous system “regulation” and “dysregulation” within the GNM framework. Sophie’s compassionate approach is a breath of fresh air and offers a transformative perspective on health, healing, and self-awareness.

In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into Ozempic and other external substances through the lens of German New Medicine. We’ll explore how Ozempic “works,” why it might seem effective for some people but not others, and the potential risks and dangers of relying on it (but also potential perceptual benefits). 

We also discuss the broader topic of medications, plant medicine, and other extraneous agents from a GNM perspective - helping you understand their role. By the end, you’ll have a clearer framework for making informed decisions about external substances and their impact on your body and psyche.

Muscle programs are often misunderstood in GNM, especially when it comes to distinguishing smooth muscle programs from the two types of striated muscle programs. In this episode, we break it all down, diving deep into the biological conflicts underlying each program and clarifying the nuances that set them apart.

To make these concepts practical and relatable, we share plenty of real-life examples, including digestive issues, uterine fibroids, seizures, chronic pain, and more. Whether you’re new to GNM or an experienced practitioner, this episode will help you approach muscle programs with greater confidence and precision.

So, if it’s not germs or viruses causing disease, and if viruses don’t even exist, then what does explain the seeming phenomenon of contagion? In Part 2 of our series with Mark Gober, we examine "contagion" through the lens of German New Medicine but then we also venture beyond the 5 Biological Laws. We discuss the concept of "energetic contagion" - the idea that what we perceive as spreading illness may actually be a shared experience on a metaphysical level. While we certainly don’t claim to have all the answers, we share our own questioning process, our refusal to subscribe to any dogma, and offer new ways of thinking about health and the collective nature of consciousness.

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with author Mark Gober to dismantle the long-standing belief in germ theory. We dive deep into the research and evidence behind germ theory and uncover the surprising truth: we actually have no definitive proof that viruses exist as the cause of disease. Prepare to challenge everything you thought you knew about pathogens, as we unpack the scientific, historical, and logical fallacies surrounding germ theory. If you've ever questioned the mainstream narrative on illness, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Freedom From Fear, we’re joined by Ali Hemaidan, founder of a holistic skincare line and a passionate GNM student. Ali shares tangible, real-life examples of how she embodies the GNM paradigm in her own healing journey and family life. From navigating her daughter's separation conflict during breastfeeding weaning, to resolving her own bite and "can't swallow" conflicts, to healing from a scare-fright conflict after her daughter’s accident - Ali’s stories bring GNM concepts to life.

In this episode of Freedom From Fear, we dive into what we believe is our most important conversation yet. We explore the challenges and debates within the GNM community, sharing our thoughts on the most useful way to approach learning and using this powerful body of knowledge.

This open discussion addresses the contention and gatekeeping that we have noticed within the GNM community, and we emphasize that we personally do not believe in turning GNM into yet another dogmatic medical system. Instead, we highlight the importance of personal responsibility and individual freedom.

Join us for an honest, lighthearted conversation that cuts through the rigidity and invites you to explore GNM in a way that resonates with you.
