Today, we delve into the journey of Laura, founder of Thrive ABC, fantastic coaching services for women recovering from breast cancer.

Laura's Personal Journey

In 2016, Laura received a life-changing diagnosis of breast cancer, which had already spread to her lymph nodes. Despite feeling strong and healthy, she embarked on a rigorous treatment regimen including surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation. After qualifying as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and gaining accreditation with HCANZA, Laura found her calling in supporting other women through their recovery journeys. Her approach combines personal experience with professional expertise to provide holistic support.

We discuss the challenges women face post treatment:

• Emotional and Psychological Impact: Many women experience persistent anxiety and stress even after completing treatment.
• Physical Health Concerns: Issues such as inflammation, poor digestion, and sleep disturbances are common post-treatment.
• Navigating Recovery: Uncertainty about where to start the recovery process and how to regain a sense of normalcy in life.

Join us in this episode as we explore holistic approaches to managing chronic back pain with Steffan Cavalera, a dedicated physiotherapist from Kieser in Fitzroy. Steffan brings a wealth of experience, having personally endured and triumphed over an eight-year battle with chronic pain.

Steffan's passion lies in the holistic treatment of low back pain, where he integrates the biopsychosocial model into his practice. He explains the distinctions between nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain, and delves into the complexities of central and peripheral sensitization.

Drawing from real-life cases, Steffan illustrates how beliefs and past experiences can amplify nociceptive signals and influence pain perception. He shares insightful examples, including scenarios where beliefs about mobility hinder recovery from back pain, how fear and anxiety exacerbate neck pain, and challenges faced by individuals post-back surgery dealing with persistent low back pain.

For practical solutions, Steffan discusses the importance of patient education, addressing environmental triggers, and implementing graded exposure to movement and loading. These strategies are essential in empowering individuals to take an active role in their recovery journey.

Whether you're someone navigating chronic back pain or a healthcare professional seeking effective pain management strategies, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps toward holistic healing.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of chronic pain management and discover how holistic approaches can pave the way to a pain-free life.

In this episode of "Nervous System Reset," we explore the three primary states of the nervous system: safe and social, fight or flight, and freeze or shutdown. We discuss how our sense of safety is shaped from birth through our early interactions with caregivers, highlighting the importance of secure attachment in developing a balanced nervous system. Anxious and avoidant attachment styles can lead to behaviours like people-pleasing and over-achieving, while the shutdown state may contribute to emotional eating, high alcohol intake, and other addictive behaviours. We examine how these attachment styles influence our relationships and self-perception.. Tune in to understand how these early experiences shape our emotional health and behaviours.
