Have you ever tried a detox cleanse, expecting to feel amazing, only to end up exhausted, bloated, or worse? The truth is, most detox programs don’t work because they ignore the real reasons your body struggles to eliminate toxins.

In this episode, Sydona welcomes Lindsey Walker, an intuitive health coach and bioenergetic root cause practitioner, to explain why traditional detox methods often fail. Lindsey shares her personal health journey and how energy work, emotional release, and muscle testing can transform the way we approach detoxing.

From juice cleanses to liver detox pills, the wellness industry is full of quick-fix solutions. But Lindsey reveals why these approaches don’t address the root cause of toxicity. If your body’s detox pathways—like the liver, gut, and lymphatic system—aren’t functioning properly, no amount of supplements will fix the problem.

More importantly, detoxing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional and energetic, too. If your body is holding onto unprocessed emotions like stress, anger, or grief, those blockages can keep toxins trapped inside, making cleanses ineffective.

Detoxing isn’t just about food—it’s about how you process emotions and energy. Lindsey explains that people who struggle with chronic symptoms often have unresolved emotional trauma stored in their bodies. If you’re constantly stressed or emotionally stuck, your nervous system stays in fight-or-flight mode, making detoxification nearly impossible.

By using breathwork, emotional release techniques, and energy healing, Lindsey helps clients clear these emotional blocks, making physical detoxing far more effective.

One of the most surprising insights Lindsey shares is that your energy frequency determines what your body holds onto. If you’re surrounded by toxic relationships, stressful environments, or draining situations, your body may resonate at the same frequency as parasites or toxins, making it harder to get rid of them.

She explains how clearing this energetic pattern makes detoxing easier and more effective—without endless parasite cleanses or restrictive diets.

So, if traditional detoxes don’t work, what does? Lindsey outlines a better approach to detoxing:

1. Regulate Your Nervous System – Stress shuts down detox pathways. Breathwork, meditation, and grounding exercises help.
2. Open Drainage Pathways – Support the liver, kidneys, gut, and lymphatic system before starting any cleanse.
3. Use Muscle Testing for Supplements – Take what your body actually needs, not what the internet suggests.
4. Release Emotional Blocks – Addressing stored trauma helps remove physical toxins more effectively.
5. Shift Your Energy and Mindset – Stop identifying with illness and start focusing on healing.

This episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about detoxing. If you’re tired of ineffective cleanses and endless supplements, Lindsey’s holistic and intuitive approach offers a powerful new way to heal.

Are you ready to stop guessing and start detoxing the right way? Tune in and take back control of your health.

What if PCOS wasn’t a permanent condition, but rather a sign from your body calling for balance? 

For many women, dealing with PCOS means battling irregular cycles, acne, weight gain, and hormonal imbalances. Yet, by addressing core drivers—insulin resistance, stress, and inflammation—you can begin to heal PCOS naturally and restore your health.

Take insulin resistance, a common cause of PCOS. While the advice to eat fewer carbs and exercise harder is widespread, it can backfire, worsening symptoms instead of easing them. Strategies like balanced meals, stable blood sugar practices, and supportive movement are far more effective in addressing this root cause sustainably.

Stress and its impact on hormones also play a pivotal role. Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, derailing hormonal balance and amplifying PCOS symptoms. Mindful practices like yoga, meditation, and self-compassionate inner dialogue not only reduce stress but also help create a mindset needed for healing.

Inflammation, fueled by diet, toxins, or chronic stress, is the third key driver. Transitioning to anti-inflammatory foods and reducing toxin exposure promotes healing from within, easing PCOS symptoms over time.

The functional medicine approach emphasizes addressing these three factors holistically, not just masking symptoms. Healing PCOS also involves reframing self-talk and building confidence. It’s not merely about symptom relief—it’s about inviting a better quality of life.

PCOS can feel overwhelming, but what small step can you take today to show your body it’s safe to heal? 

Transformative change begins with just one choice.

What if your body holds onto every emotion, every stress, every moment of trauma, storing it like an archive, just waiting for the right moment to be heard? 

This episode unpacks the profound connection between the body, mind, and trauma, revealing how suppressed emotions and energy can linger within our physicality, manifesting as pain or discomfort. Through discussions about bodywork, cranial osteopathy, and emotional processing, the conversation unravels how unresolved energy trapped in our tissues influences not only our physical well-being but also the way we attract experiences and interact with the world. By harnessing techniques that allow the release and reintegration of these emotions—along with fostering gratitude and safety within—the body can achieve a state of balance and healing that transcends simple symptom management. 

It challenges the listener to think: Could your persistent pain or anxiety actually be your body trying to protect and speak to you? And if so, are you ready to finally listen?

What if the key to unlocking your physical health lies in addressing unresolved emotional trauma?

SYDONA'S PERSONAL JOURNEY 

The Onset of Health Issues  

About five years ago, Sydona experienced a range of health issues including daily panic attacks, eczema, and digestive problems despite living a healthy lifestyle.  

Unprocessed Trauma as the Root Cause  

Her personal crisis revealed that unresolved childhood trauma was stored in her body, manifesting as physical ailments. These health challenges were linked to gut infections, thyroid issues, and hormonal imbalances.

REDIFINING TRAUMA 

Breaking Common Misconceptions  

Sydona highlights that trauma is not limited to severe events like war or assault. She introduces the concept of complex trauma, which stems from repetitive yet seemingly minor experiences, such as parental yelling, lack of emotional nurturing, or emotional invalidation.  

Trauma's Impact on the Body  

Unresolved trauma keeps the body in a chronic fight-or-flight state, leading to overproduction of cortisol. This hormonal imbalance disrupts various bodily functions, such as digestion, sex hormone production, and magnesium levels.

LIMITATIONS OF TRADITIONAL THERAPY 

Advantages of Talk Therapy  

While talking through trauma can validate experiences, Sydona acknowledges its benefits.  

The Downside: Potential Retraumatization  

However, for some individuals, repeatedly discussing trauma can be counterproductive and exacerbate their distress.  

Exploring Alternative Approaches 

Sydona advises exploring new therapeutic methods for those seeing little progress in traditional therapy.

STRATEGIES FOR HEALING  

**Holistic Healing Practices**  

Sydona shares the following strategies from her own healing journey:  

1. Building a supportive network to validate experiences without judgment.  

2. Practicing meditation to observe thoughts without attachment.  

3. Exploring somatic healing to release stored trauma in the body.  

4. Using breathwork techniques to regulate the nervous system.  

5. Implementing cold therapy to build resilience.  

6. Identifying personal triggers and developing coping strategies.  

7. Reframing past experiences to promote healing.  

**The Role of Mind-Body Connection**  

Sydona emphasizes the importance of addressing both mental and physical aspects of health. Healing is an ongoing journey, not the absolute elimination of symptoms, but rather fostering a better awareness of one’s body and its needs.

IN CONCLUSION

Could the key to lasting health lie in addressing unresolved emotional trauma, rather than focusing strictly on physical symptoms? Take a listen and decide for yourself.

What does it take to heal from an "incurable" disease? 

For Timothy Tynan, the journey to overcoming Crohn's disease challenged everything modern medicine told him was possible. In this episode with podcast host Sydona Tregoning, Timothy Tynan shares his remarkable path from being diagnosed at age 11 - when he dramatically lost 90 pounds in six months - to achieving complete healing from a condition that doctors insist can only be managed, never cured. 

After losing his father to Crohn's complications when Timothy was 21, he realized the conventional route of immunosuppressant drugs and steroids wasn't his path to wellness. This devastating loss became the catalyst for exploring alternative healing methods, though even these proved insufficient on their own. The true breakthrough came through an unexpected combination of physical and spiritual work, including sessions with a shaman who helped Timothy understand that his emotional state was intrinsically linked to his physical symptoms. The shaman posed a life-changing question: "What if you don't get better? Can you still find peace in what is in your life?" This shifted Timothy's entire perspective, leading him to realize that healing required surrendering to the present moment rather than constantly fighting against his condition. 

In her interview, Sydona draws out the details of Timothy's unconventional healing journey, including his work with a practitioner who personalized his treatment every two weeks, adapting to his body's responses rather than following a predetermined protocol. The proof of his healing is remarkably simple yet profound - where once a piece of sourdough bread would have left him ill for days, Timothy can now enjoy normal foods without any adverse reactions. 

As a Licensed Massage Therapist and Structural Energetic Therapist, he now helps others understand the crucial connection between emotional, spiritual, and physical healing. In a world where chronic illness is often accepted as a life sentence, Timothy's story represents a ray of hope and possibility. His journey proves that sometimes the most powerful healing comes not from fighting harder against disease, but from finding peace in the present moment while remaining open to unconventional solutions.

Ever wondered why some people struggle with fat loss despite counting every calorie? 

In this episode, Host Sydona Tregoning and her guest, Jess Rieger, will explore the intricate relationship between hormonal imbalances and weight loss. Jess, a holistic health coach, shares her personal journey with PMDD triggered by birth control, shedding light on how hormonal fluctuations can impact women's health and metabolism. 

Here are 3 takeaways from the episode:

1. Hormonal Fluctuations Matter: Unlike men, women experience hormonal fluctuations on a 28-day cycle rather than a 24-hour basis. This means that hormonal balance is crucial for effective fat loss, challenging the simplistic "calories in versus calories out" approach. Understanding and supporting your hormonal health can be a game-changer in your weight loss journey.

2. The Power of Cycle Syncing: Jess shares that connecting with her menstrual cycle and understanding its different phases was pivotal in managing her PMDD symptoms and supporting her overall health. By learning about the nutrition and support your body needs at each phase, you can foster a healthier relationship with your cycle and improve your well-being.

3. Holistic Approach to Health: The episode emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to health that goes beyond just physical aspects. This includes managing stress, supporting gut health, and fostering body literacy. By cultivating a deeper understanding of your body and its needs, you can better support your hormonal health and metabolism, ultimately aiding in fat loss and overall wellness.

The conversation touches on the complex interplay of various hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones, and how they can affect fat loss. The discussion also highlights the role of gut health and stress on overall well-being. Discover why addressing hormonal imbalances might be the key to unlocking your fat loss journey. 

Could your hormones be the missing piece in your weight loss puzzle?

In this episode, Sydona Tregoning talks about the intricate relationship between body health, exercise, and common issues like hair loss and yeast infections. She emphasizes the importance of addressing the root cause of health problems rather than just treating symptoms. High-intensity exercise, while beneficial, can sometimes exacerbate stress and affect blood sugar levels, which in turn impacts overall well-being. Sydona also discusses the significance of mindfulness and gut healing in maintaining a healthy body and mind.

She explores how different types of hair loss, from overall thinning to bald spots, can be indicative of various underlying issues. By increasing the intake of nutrient-dense foods, such as healthy fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, individuals can support hair growth and overall health. Sydona highlights the importance of foods rich in iron, B vitamins, and selenium, which are crucial for hair growth and thyroid function. She also emphasizes the role of proper salting with mineral-rich salts like Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt, which provide essential minerals for cellular function. Additionally, she touches on the impact of gut dysfunction, such as chronic diarrhea, which can hinder the body's ability to absorb nutrients, thereby affecting hair health.

Here are some takeaways from this episode:

🌱 Address the Root Cause: Understanding and addressing the underlying issues is crucial for long-term health benefits.

🏃‍♀️ Balance High-Intensity Exercise: While high-intensity workouts have their advantages, it's essential to balance them with relaxation to avoid excessive stress.

🩸 Monitor Blood Sugar: Keeping blood sugar levels in check is vital for preventing yeast infections and maintaining overall health.

🧘 Practice Mindfulness: Incorporating mindfulness into daily routines can help manage stress and improve gut health, leading to a healthier lifestyle.

Are you considering alternatives to hormonal birth control but feeling overwhelmed by the options?

In this second and final part on safely stopping birth control, Sydona explores the intricate world of non-hormonal birth control methods,  She begins by helping you understand your menstrual cycle and how tracking them can help you make informed decisions. From effective non-hormonal contraceptives like the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), which boasts a 77-98% effectiveness rate when properly implemented, to proven options like the copper IUD and other barrier methods, she'll cover everything you need to know.

Beyond contraception, Sydona talks about what happens when coming off birth control, including common hormonal imbalance symptoms such as acne, hair loss, and irregular periods. The guide emphasizes the importance of comprehensive blood work for hormones, particularly through advanced testing methods that provide deeper insights than standard evaluations. We also explore managing hormone levels naturally through integrated healthcare approaches that consider nutrition, lifestyle factors, and overall wellness, rather than focusing solely on hormone levels in isolation 

Could the key to finding your ideal birth control method lie in understanding your body's natural rhythms and ovulation patterns?"

Have you ever wondered how birth control might be silently impacting your body beyond its intended purpose? 

In this episode, Sydona shares crucial information about the complexities of stopping birth control and restoring natural hormone balance. She outlines several concerning effects of hormonal contraceptives, including their impact on vitamin depletion, particularly vitamins A, C, and E, and their potential role in autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and MS. The discussion explores how birth control can affect everything from partner selection due to altered pheromone perception to mental health challenges like anxiety and depression. Sydona emphasizes the importance of a gradual, supported approach when stopping birth control, recommending specific nutritional support starting three months before discontinuation. 

She advocates for gentler exercise routines, suggesting a shift from high-intensity workouts to calming activities like morning or sunset walks, and reducing workout frequency from five to two-three days weekly. The episode provides practical guidance for menstrual cycle recovery, highlighting the significance of listening to your body's signals rather than rushing the process. Particularly noteworthy is her emphasis on gut health and its connection to hormonal wellbeing, explaining how birth control can trigger inflammation that may lead to various health issues. 

Rather than viewing the transition off birth control as merely a medical process, Sydona encourages women to see it as an opportunity to reconnect with their natural rhythms and understand their bodies on a deeper level, leaving listeners with a powerful realization: sometimes the path to optimal health requires us to trust our body's innate wisdom rather than relying solely on synthetic solutions.

Can somatic healing and breathwork techniques unlock the emotions we've buried in our psyche? 

In this conversation about overcoming anxiety with meditation, Jon Orsini shares his transformative journey from experiencing debilitating panic attacks at age 18 to discovering mindfulness and breathwork for mental health. His personal story demonstrates the remarkable benefits of somatic breathwork when a seemingly simple breathing exercise unexpectedly revealed years of suppressed anger from his high school days – emotions he had unconsciously buried beneath the surface.

The discussion sheds light on how unresolved trauma and unconscious tensions can manifest as physical and mental dis-ease, and how specific stress management through breathwork can help bring these hidden patterns to light. Jon's evolution from actor to practitioner showcases the profound impact of combining mindfulness for anxiety relief with somatic healing practices. 

His wisdom reminds us that "You can't want healing for someone more than they want it for themselves" – but when someone is ready to embrace change, could these powerful techniques be the gateway to lasting transformation?
