In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Patient Advocates Amanda Porta and Robyn Towt to have a much needed and detailed discussion about Breast Implant Illness.

Both with remarkable stories and a passion for education, Amanda and Robyn
are on a prominent mission to spread truth among women across the world, in efforts to highlight the very real and COMMON happenings associated with breast implants.

Amanda has worked in and throughout the beauty/plastic surgery industry for decades, and was ultimately inspired to pursue Holistic Health coaching. Now laser focused on guiding women with BII towards healing and optimal health, she has dedicated her life to redirecting the public’s view on what health and beauty really entails. As someone who never saw critical or chronic health issues prior to implants, she’s determined to use her voice and expose the darker sides of beauty procedures and the industry’s dirty secrets.

Robyn—now three-time cancer survivor—became co-founder of the Global Patient Advocacy Coalition (GPAC) and is also an administrator in various online support groups for women who are suffering from BII. She’s worked extensively with Arizona legislators in passing an informed consent law for breast implant surgery, and the GPAC team has also partnered with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to develop a patient decision checklist.

With both of these women having experienced BII and explant surgeries, they know firsthand how real and truly life-altering these decisions can be. They believe every patient should be given the opportunity to make an educated and informed choice, and that means having ALL of the information, not just selected information.

• What does it really mean to be an EMPATH?
• What's the difference between having empathy and sympathy?
• Is being a Highly Sensitive Person the same thing?
• How does this all relate to intuition?
• What are the misconceptions about empath?
• How does one grow to become an empath and how is this related to trauma or unprocessed emotions?
• Can one be an extrovert and still be an empath?
• Is there a tie between empaths and ADHD?
• How does being an empath affect self-worth?
• How does one cultivate helpful boundaries?
• Why should we pay attention to nervous system health?
• How does one navigate friendships or romantic relationships as an empath?
• What are some healthy or unhealthy examples of how to communicate?

• How we have the ability to imprint electromagnetic signals (ICs) from substances into a simple glass of water

• How PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy can be used with an Infopathy device
• How to use the Audible/listening frequencies for healing purposes

Welcome to what feels like the first episode of the INTENTIONALLY UNPREPARED Series! My current thought is to sprinkle these "couch conversations" in from time to time...as they definitely reflect a different feel than all of the other episodes here on Intentionally Well.

The following is a candid chat (versus an interview) with Homeopathic Doctor, Sarah Trask...about our faith in God and healing. Life's trials and tribulations can often be very hard to bear, and we find ourselves depleted and defeated, wondering if we will ever see change. In our human quest for control and power, these trials hit our lives FOR us, despite our pain, sorrow, grief, or discomfort. The "growing pains" we face are usually great and purposeful gifts, and pave the way for both our surrendering and our salvation.

In this unconventional episode, Sarah and I bring what would be a typical phone conversation of ours to the podcast mic. It is an extremely raw, imperfect, organic episode with no prep and all heart.

Here I have the truest honor of sitting down with Dr. David Evans (DVM), a classically trained veterinarian who then converted over to homeopathic medicine after a unique experience with his own personal health.

This discussion is dynamic, info-packed, and full of compassion, as Dr. David Evans educates on how the holistic system of homeopathy works by eliminating the underlying imbalance in an pet/animal's body, therefore eliminating unwanted or uncomfortable symptoms and rising their overall vitality.

We chat about homeopathy vs. conventional vet medicine, pet susceptibilities and genetics, vaccinations, pet grief, pet loss, acute/chronic care, diets, skin concerns, flea/tick care, and so much more.

Dr. David Evans wholeheartedly believes that prevention is the key for our beloved animals, and that all pet parents/owners should be aware of their options so they can make informed decisions when caring for their pet's health.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with licensed acupuncturist and functional medicine specialist Nick Fransen, who's mission is to help people overcome the subconscious blocks that are keeping them STUCK. Nick has dedicated his time and efforts towards educating patients/people about the unhelpful patterns of our subconscious mind, and how breaking them can lead to healing the body and creating more peace and success in one's life.

We largely discuss how the body really does "keep score," and how health conditions, sleep troubles, addictions, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and more can really be the result of subconscious programming associated with past life circumstances and/or trauma. Nick teaches us the different ways our minds become programmed,  and how it's very common to see people with chronic health conditions unintentionally held back from healing due to these hardwired beliefs, attitudes, and blocks. He shares how this also applies to other versions of feeling "stuck" in life, such as relationship/marital issues, career and financial stress, and more.

This conversation is the real deal. We share a lot of candid conversation, personal stories, and more during this chat; we even talk forgiveness, harboring resentments, and the emotional toll it takes on us when we avoid this very important piece of “wellness.”

Nick then gives us a great glimpse at how a specific type of homeopathy (discovered in Europe) can help guide us towards breaking these subconscious patterns, loops, and habits. When we start to address this often-missed aspect of health and healing, we open the door for long-time burdens to be alleviated, and create space for us to thrive in health and in our lives overall.

In this interview, I have a thought-provoking conversation with Rick Olderman, orthopedic physical therapist specializing in chronic pain and nagging injuries that "seem to be incapable" of healing.

A huge motivating factor behind Rick’s search for answers was his own chronic back pain, and after years in clinic but unable to fully help patients, he realized that the fundamental and crucial element connecting movement, structure, and pain was missing from the general conventional physical therapy practice. With additional training and knowledge in Pilates, personal training, and yoga--yet still coming up short--Rick went on to dedicate the last two decades towards pioneering this systems-based research.

His affordable at-home programs provide a much deeper understanding of how unhelpful lifestyle habits and movement patterns can break down muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bone, which in turn creates pain. He's written several books, including his newest, "Solving the Pain Puzzle," and Rick holds a very stern belief that given the right tools, we absolutely have the ability to heal chronic pain.

Rick and I talk about everything from the faulty belief systems we have about our bodies, we discuss why this systems-based approach is not addressed in PT school, he educates us on the patterns of dysfunction, goes through some interactive exercises with us, and so much more. This episode is truly supercharged with detailed information, and provides much hope to those who've felt stuck because of their pain.
