On this week’s episode of The Aligned Life Podcast, Dr. Shea & Rachel are discussing one of the common issues we all deal with, injury. Whether you are a CrossFit athlete or haven’t worked out in years, we all experience injuries. Because movement is a required nutrient for homeostasis, susceptibility to injury is increased. Dr. Shea and Rachel believe you can still train while injured if you learn how to listen to your body, understand your body’s healing process, create a game plan for recovery, adapt a mindset of healing and work towards minimizing other stressors in your life.  Listen to this episode for a breakdown of steps you can take to expedite healing time so you can get back to your healthy and active lifestyle.

On this week’s episode of The Aligned Life Podcast, Dr. Shea & Rachel are chatting all about the big “S” word, stress.  Stress is anything that is perceived by your nervous system as a threat. Dr. Shea and Rachel define the different types of stress including physical, emotional, environmental, and chemical stressors and discuss the health impacts on the body.  When our bodies are in a state of chronic stress, immune system functioning is compromised, insulin resistance increases, hormones become imbalanced and inflammation in the body increases. Long-term, prolonged stress can lead you down a path of illness and disease such as cancer, stroke, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis & more.  On this episode, Dr. Shea and Rachel provide guidance and resources so you can assess your stressors more objectively, manage your perceptions around stress and take back control of your health.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Kristy Malone joins The Aligned Life Podcast to chat all about love, connection, navigating relationships and the different adult attachment styles. In order to survive as human beings, we need a secure base in which we derive comfort and security from.  From an evolutionary perspective, the need for closeness is embedded in our genes and being close to others provided a survival advantage.  In our modern world, the need for closeness and intimacy is sometimes viewed in a negative light and can be perceived as weakness. Kristy, Rachel and Dr. Shea dive deep into discussion about the different attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, secure) and how these attachment styles are formed.  They discuss the benefits of secure relationships and what to do if you have an insecure attachment style or are in a relationship with an insecure partner. They also share personal stories of their own attachment styles and how they have navigated their own relationships.  If you interested in learning more about adult attachment styles and the importance of human connection, give this episode a listen!
