Episode 426 - Linking Hashimoto's and Diabetes with Dr. Jade Guerra

Low thyroid and rising blood sugar are often treated as two separate problems, each with its own prescription. They may have far more in common, and seeing them together can change how we approach our health.

Comprehensive lab work can show us what is driving both, and from there, reversing Hashimoto’s and type 2 diabetes may become a realistic goal. Knowing what our own body needs gives us the power to make changes that last.

DR. JADE GUERRA

Dr. Jade Guerra, FNP, APRN, DC, DABCO has nearly 35 years of experience helping patients heal naturally. A leader in Functional Medicine, she specializes in reversing chronic conditions like Type 2 Diabetes, Hypothyroidism and Autoimmune Disease by uncovering root causes and restoring balance through diet, supplements and lifestyle.

As a Doctor of Chiropractic and Nurse Practitioner, she also holds advanced certifications in Functional Blood Chemistry, Brain Neurotransmitters and Thyroid Health, empowering patients to reverse their condition and regain control over their lives.

Episode 425 - Emotional Engineering with Dr. Brian Paris

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

Divorce can break apart far more than a marriage, and the identity we built around our family and our work may crumble along with it. In the middle of that, we may find ourselves asking who we are without the roles that once defined us.

For men who were taught to keep their feelings locked away, rebuilding can begin with understanding what the body has been signaling. Reading those signals can help us reimagine our lives and be more present for the people we love, finding peace by expressing what is true for us.

DR. BRIAN PARIS

Dr. Brian Paris is a holistic lifestyle coach, author, speaker, chiropractor and entrepreneur. He created Emotional Engineering—a neuroscience-informed framework built from lived experience of divorce, business collapse and rebuilding an aligned life. He helps men navigate divorce with clarity and confidence.

Drawing from neuroscience, emotional intelligence, embodied practice, and ancient wisdom, Brian helps men regulate difficult emotions, communicate effectively, and rebuild their lives without losing themselves in the process. He has been featured on Gaia and speaks on stages worldwide.

Episode 424 - Unconscious Relationship Patterns with Alfina Lofaro

This episode contains strong language and listener discretion is advised.

We might change our jobs or our partners, just to find that later the same situation repeats in a new setting or with different people. Our patterns reach into our relationships with friends, loved ones, health, work, and even money, which is usually the point at which we start to wonder if we are the cause of it.

What we learned about love as children is the foundation of our unconscious relationship patterns as adults, which makes them hard to see and understand. Uncovering a pattern is what ends its influence, and can give us back agency over our lives. The first relationship that changes is the one we have with ourselves.

ALFINA LOFARO

Alfina Lofaro grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Queensland as the daughter of Italian migrants. From an early age, she learned to associate love with approval and belonging with achievement.

For years, she tried to prove her worth through career success, qualifications and caring for others, while overlooking the relationship she had with herself. A painful period in her own life led her to examine the unconscious patterns that shape communication, conflict, approval-seeking and connection.

That experience became the foundation of Love Deliberately, her work helping people build healthier relationships through trust, boundaries, compassion, communication and self-awareness.

With more than two decades of experience as a kinesiologist, coach, educator, author, speaker and leadership facilitator, Alfina helps audiences understand how the way they relate to themselves and others influences every area of life—and how they can begin to love more consciously and deliberately.

Episode 423 - Is Fascia Manifested Consciousness with PaulAbram

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

Our bodies get less mobile over the years and we adapt, maybe scaling back activities we love, or protecting an injury that healed long ago. We might put it down to getting older and just carry on without much thought.

If we look closer, we might find that what we wrote off as physical aging is an intelligent fascia network that reacts to our emotions and our experiences. Working with it through slow, repeated movement can release tension we have held for decades, and our healing journey becomes emotional as much as physical.

PAULABRAM

PaulAbram is an author, Embodiment Architect, and Metaphysical Mentor whose work has grown out of a lived transition from externally defined identity to intuitive, sovereign self-knowledge. His earlier life followed a recognisably mainstream arc: over 20 years of military service defined by duty, structure, performance, and the belief that identity was something to be earned, proven, or defended.

PaulAbram no longer works solely with the mind because he recognised that old patterns are not just thoughts—they build a physical cage in the tissue. His current practice synthesises psychological depth with structural integrity, weaving together threads of hypnotherapy, energetic regulation, and Fascial Maneuvers™. Based in the UK Midlands, he works one-to-one with clients facing complex neurological and systemic challenges, delivering daily online sessions and workshops.

For Human Garage and his global clients, PaulAbram represents a bridge between deep physics, ancient wisdom, and the practical reality of restoring the human system to unshakeable sovereign presence.

Episode 422 - Chronic Pain with Lyndsay Soprano

This episode contains adult language and subject matter, and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

Life can pivot in a direction we never saw coming, and living with chronic pain takes more creativity and honesty than anyone prepares us for. The spontaneous drive or the evening out turns into a calculation of what it will cost us afterward, and how much of the following week we are willing to spend recovering from it.

The confusing contradiction of grieving the person we used to be and the gratitude we try to find every day for what we have left can isolate us from our friends and loved ones. When we share our journeys and become part of a community that empowers us, we can take back the pieces we lost in our pain story.

LYNDSAY SOPRANO

Lyndsay Soprano is a bold, unfiltered voice in the chronic pain and trauma recovery space—transforming unimaginable suffering into unstoppable advocacy. She’s the founder and host of Giving Pain Purpose (formerly known as The Pain Game Podcast), a raw and riveting show that dives into the realities of living in—and rising from—chronic pain, trauma, and invisible illness.

Diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in 2017—one of the most painful conditions on the McGill Pain Scale—Lyndsay is also a survivor of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, infertility, depression, anxiety, and divorce. She’s walked through hell more than once—and set up a mic right in the middle of it.

Her mantra, “The only way out...is through,” isn’t just podcast fodder—it’s a way of life. After years lost to misdiagnoses and failed surgeries, she took healing into her own hands, choosing a trauma-informed, integrative approach that blends grit, grace, and humor.

Episode 421 - Mental Health and Mental Illness with Miriam Putnam

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

We journey into the heart of what it means to support our mental wellbeing, inviting us to explore mental illness with a sense of agency and possibility. We reflect on the many dimensions that shape our health, creating space to think beyond the usual conventions Western medicine has to offer.

We question longstanding mental illness models and reimagine what care could look like through a person-centered, holistic approach. Would mental health and mental illness still be worlds apart if we moved beyond labels and started exploring the empowering intersection of body, mind, and spirit?

MIRIAM PUTNAM

Miriam Putnam is a holistic mental health advocate, Board Certified Wellness Coach and Freedom from Stress Counselor who helps individuals reconnect with themselves and find balance in a fast-paced world.

After experiencing the loss of her mother within the traditional mental health system, Miriam searched for more compassionate approaches to healing. That journey led her into holistic wellness where she now helps others regulate stress, gain clarity and create more aligned lives.

With a legacy of innovators—her great-step grandmother was Amelia Earhart and her family founded Crayola Crayons and Putnam Publishing—Miriam blends tradition, curiosity and forward-thinking approaches to mental well-being.

Episode 420 - Trusting Forward with Antonia Daniek

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

We usually want to know how a decision will turn out before we commit to it, but life does not really work that way. In an effort to be “logical” we often ignore our intuition or gut feeling, and go with the solution that makes sense to everyone else instead.

When we come back to ourselves and start trusting what we know, we tend to end up somewhere better than we were aiming for. Creating alongside others while staying aligned in who we are can then become something that enriches us and gives us a whole new layer of life experience.

ANTONIA DANIEK

Antonia Daniek is a mentor, speaker and creator of Source Dynamics whose work explores what becomes possible when we learn to trust ourselves, listen to our inner wisdom and co-create without losing who we are.

Raised in a Tibetan Buddhist community, Antonia has spent much of her life exploring the relationship between our inner world and how we meet life, change and one another. Today, she brings together more than 16 years of coaching and entrepreneurship with a lifelong practice of contemplation, intuition and listening to what wants to emerge.

At the heart of her work is an invitation to Trust Forward: to take the next step without needing to know the whole path, become more fully ourselves, and learn to trust not only our own inner knowing, but also relationship, emergence and life itself.

Through her work, Antonia invites changemakers to explore new ways of being, relating and consciously co-creating—within themselves, with each other and with the living world.

Episode 419 - Know Yourself, Be Yourself with Patricia Lindner

From the outside our lives can look like what we set out to build, and on the inside, we have dimmed ourselves so far we hardly recognize who is left. We read another book, take another course, go deeper into the personal work, and yet the alignment we were promised keeps moving further away.

We are told that everything we need is already inside us, which is great to hear and no help at all when we cannot find it. Once we can see what has been standing in our way, the change we have circled for years stops being an idea and becomes the thing we actually do.

PATRICIA LINDNER

Patricia Lindner spent fifty years being chosen. Then she chose herself.

A Private Advisor, Retreat Host, and Speaker based in Bavaria, Germany, Patricia mastered the art of looking perfect: high-achiever, people-pleaser, quietly unraveling underneath. A professional once told her she was “incurable.” She didn’t believe him. She found her way home to herself in the south of France instead, and hasn’t stopped burning since.

Now she helps founders, leaders, and creatives stop performing and start living as themselves.

Know Yourself. Be Yourself. Express Yourself. Everything else will follow.

Episode 418 - The Warm Edge with Chen Lizra

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

Many of us reach the level we worked so hard for and still catch ourselves living with impostor syndrome, and the higher we climb, the stronger that fear can become. What we absorbed as children about how much space to take up travels with us into every room we enter as adults.

That inheritance appears in the conversations we avoid, in the higher salary we never ask for, and in the toll our health pays for staying silent. We do not have to wait for the world to feel safer before we take up more space, and can work with our bodies to build resilience and capacity any time.

CHEN LIZRA

Chen Lizra, the female founder of the Power of Somatic Intelligence, is a sought-after somatic transformational coach and TED Speaker, helping high achievers release what is blocking them, leading to inner alignment, nervous system regulation, and emotional mastery. Combining embodiment, somatics, and ancient wisdom, she developed a ground breaking method and delivers powerful results in 3-6 months. She intuitively uncovers ancestral somatic imprints to reprogram emotional blocks impacting performance.

She specializes in the Warm Edge - shifting tough conversations in an embodied way, adding softness to strength. Her TED Talk has captivated 13M viewers. Featured in The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Oprah Daily, Women of Impact, Business Insider, CEO Weekly, and more. Winner of the Global Recognition Award 2024, and the 2025 Stevie Award as Coach of the Year in health and wellness. Chen helps her clients reclaim their voice through courage, truth, and honour.

Episode 417 - Lyme Disease with Christina Kantzavelos

We discuss the lived experience of navigating Lyme disease, sharing stories of loss, resilience, and the search for answers in the face of complex symptoms. Through personal and professional reflection, we connect with the challenges and triumphs faced along the journey toward healing and understanding.

Questions arise about why some people become gravely ill while others remain symptom-free after similar exposures, prompting us to re-examine the intricate links between trauma, nervous system regulation, and chronic illness. We learn how even the smallest bacteria can transform our lives, discover surprising facts about testing and healing, and find hope in stories of transformation and renewed purpose.

CHRISTINA KANTZAVELOS

Christina P. Kantzavelos, LCSW, MLIS, CTA, is a licensed psychotherapist, chronic illness advocate, author, and founder of Begin Within Today. After becoming seriously ill herself and navigating years of complex diagnoses, medical trauma, and life disruption, Christina transformed her personal healing journey into a mission to support others living with invisible and complex chronic illnesses.

As a therapist specializing in chronic illness, trauma, and nervous system regulation, Christina integrates evidence-based approaches including EMDR, trauma-informed therapy, emotional freedom techniques, mind-body practices, and integrative healing approaches. She is passionate about increasing chronic illness competency among mental health providers and creating more compassionate systems of care for patients who are often misunderstood or dismissed.

Christina is also the creator of the Begin Within Daily Health Wellness Journals and WithinMe App, tools designed to help individuals track their health journeys, reconnect with their bodies, and cultivate greater awareness and self-compassion.

Through her clinical work, advocacy, writing, and speaking, Christina bridges the gap between mental health and complex chronic illness, helping people move from survival toward empowerment, resilience, and hope.
