Before the Health Nutt Podcast even existed, one of Dr. Nutt’s main priorities with her work was to honor mothers. To help them discover the power and confidence within. To illuminate and comfort the mother who struggles (which is all of us). To explain why so many of us feel isolated and alone, even when we’re surrounded by people.

For the entire month of August, each episode will be dedicated to this purpose. This Healing Motherhood series will speak the words that are sometimes too difficult to say out loud. These episodes go DEEP, and you will find affirmation at a soul level here. Each one is more powerful than the last and the wisdom shared will bring you peace. It will make you feel seen. Because regardless of where you live, what you believe, what your parenting style is…we are bonded through motherhood and through the love of our children, the ones in our arms, in our womb, and the ones waiting to come to us.

This first episode is my personal message to you as a mother. If you ever worry and wonder and hope you’re a good mom…this episode is for you ❤️

Phrases like "no pain, no gain" have shaped our perception of exercise unknowingly for years. Many of us approach exercise as a form of punishment or damage control for our food choices. Many of us exercise to reach a weight goal or a certain aesthetic. We talk about getting our summer bodies and earning our food after a hard work out. We see posts about how many calories you have to burn to work off a candy bar and how many minutes on a treadmill will get you there. We know the benefits of exercise run deeper than appearances, and yet we continue to approach it from the outside in; ignoring our body's cues, pushing through pain, physically abusing ourselves in an attempt to reach a weight goal that sounds good without questioning whether or not it's realistic.

Jon DeMoss, owner of Synergy Wellness and Performance, challenges all notions of what exercise is and how it fits in to your overall health. In this episode, he explains how the biggest obstacles to achieving your fitness goals do not come from your body, but from your mind. Jon challenges his clients physically, by taking his athletes down to the most fundamental movement patterns and building a solid athletic foundation. He also challenges his clients mentally, by diving into the reasons behind your health and fitness goals. Jon dives into the real questions: Are your goals realistic? What do you seek to gain from achieving them? Synergy is not just a gym, it is a place where you can find guidance towards improving your health in all areas, mind, body, and soul.

'Harder Than It Looks' has been an official motto for Synergy for years because from the outside, some movements may not seem like much. But anyone who has tried it can tell you that Synergy is a place where the change begins from the inside out...and that is never easy.

If you've been wanting to start a fitness routine and get healthier but you keep putting it off (or you have no idea where to even begin), this episode is for you. If you have recently had surgery and you're looking to get back into fitness but you're worried about hurting yourself, this episode is for you. If you have been an avid exerciser for years but you've plateaued, or your body feels worse instead of better, this episode is for you. If you are an athlete looking to improve your game and keep your body from wear and tear of your sport, this episode is for you!

Show notes:

Jon mentions DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Solutions) and PRI (Postural Restoration Institute) practitioners.

While Jon mentions Wim Hof breathing, ice-and-fire breathing, the book Breath by James Nestor, and the book Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeowan, he most highly recommends ShiftAdapt.com as taking the best of all options and synergizing them. 

Jon also references Original Strength. 

Dr. Nutt and Jon discuss Functional Range Conditioning, created by Dr. Andreo Spina.

If you know any chiropractors, ask them why they became one and you will likely hear about how chiropractic changed their own life in some way. If you watch, you will also be able to see the passion and love for the profession on their face. Chiropractors love chiropractic. We love what we do. We love our patients. 

Chiropractic is a profession that frequently chooses you. It is a call, that in most cases is unexpected and maybe a little nonsensical given the public perception and statistical career success.


Dr. Nikki Porteus, a chiropractor specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric care joins me to talk about life in the profession. I ask her all my favorite chiropractor questions (including how she got into it), and we discuss and debunk common chiropractic myths, both regular and pediatric. Dr. Nikki exemplifies what it means to be a compassionate and caring practitioner. Plus, she's hilarious! 

This episode will answer all your questions about chiropractic, and will also have you imagining you became a chiropractor in another life!

Show notes:

Dr. Nikki mentions the correlation between colic and migraine; you can read more here.

Dr. Chelsea mentions the book This is Your Brain on Birth Control by Sarah Hill, PhD.

This episode is about interoception (not Inception! although that’s a great movie), which in one brief definition means "your body talking to your mind." 

Dr. Nutt references a previous episode on Hypervigilance and Dissociation, that’s episode 4. 

Interoceptive accuracy = how accurately you are aware of your body’s sensations (objectively, can be measured)

Interoceptive sensibility = your own judgment of your ability (how accurate you think you are)

Interoceptive awareness = your own awareness of your interoceptive abilities (being aware of your accuracy)

Links to the studies Dr. Nutt references about depression and interoception can be found in the full shownotes at www.healthnuttpodcast.com

This episode is a continuation of Episode 2 on Body Connectivity. What do you do when you've tuned into your body and what you feel is overwhelming? How do you know if what you're experiencing is normal stress or a state of either hypervigilance or dissociation--or both? Dr. Chelsea defines and discusses both these concepts in this episode of the Health Nutt podcast.
