The missing link in your healing episodes

  • 48 : Marcia Tunmer, Eating Support Coach and recovered bulimic, takes us through a completely new perspective on eating disorders (including bulimia, anorexia and emotional eating) and how to heal them

    If you have bulimia, anorexia, you emotionally eat or have any type of misaligned relationship with food (which most of us do) this Episode brings a whole new perspective on why you eat, or don't eat and how to heal it.

    Knowledge is a very good starting point for any healing and the perspective Marcia brings is breaking new ground in healing food issues. She also offers some very solid practical advice and tools.

    Being in recovery from bulimia she speaks from a place of healing herself with the approach she offers.

    To quote Marcia "It isn't about you reaching for food. It isn't about willpower or control. It's the inner conflict that's trying to find resolution, the emotion that's trying to be felt, the unheard part of yourself that's trying to be expressed. Our relationship with food is the symptom and not the failing".

    Marcia takes us through ways we can come back into alignment with our inner wisdom, our intuition and making decisions that guide our life and direction to true healing not just with food but with all of life.

    Don't miss this Episode. If you have an eating disorder or you are an emotional eater this Episode might be life changing.

    If you think you have food taped this Episode is interesting and very eye opening.

  • 47 : What is your relationship with food and how does this impact your health and well being?

    In this Episode we open the conversation about our relationship with food and our eating habits, why this matters, and how it affects our health and well-being.

    The obvious eating disorders are overeating, bulimia and anorexia. However, many of us, even if we are healthy eaters, have a misaligned relationship with food and very often we don't even know this until we become incredibly self-aware.

    The thing is this - our relationship with food reflects the relationship we have with ourselves. Food is a symptom, our eating habits give us messages, showing us where we are out of alignment. And yes this does matter for your physical health.

    Even if you think you have food and your eating habits taped, take a listen, you might just gain insight you had not even considered.

    Loretta provides incredible insights into this topic; we discuss our own relationships with food and offer some powerful but simple tools.

    This Episode will be followed next week with an exciting Episode called "Realigning yourself through your relationship with food" which we recorded with Marcia Tunmer (specialist eating coach and recovered bulimic )

    The following week I will be diving more into Orthorexia (Obsessively healthy eating). Orthorexia Nervosa is on the verge of being classified as an eating disorder.

    No matter how much you know about food and eating these three Episodes are interesting and very eye opening.

  • 46 : The pancreas - an often overlooked organ that could be making you sick

    If you have a range of symptoms, may have had them for a long time and you cannot get a diagnosis or get to the bottom of them then take a listen to this Episode.

    Antoinette had a wide range of symptoms spanning a four-year period, these symptoms were getting worse and worse. Many health practitioners and a wide array of tests later she still had no clarity as to why she was so sick. Finally, though she found the right Doctor and one simple test diagnosed pancreatic insufficiency. Boom !!!

    This was the last thing Antoinette or the other health practitioners considered - the pancreas. This is because the pancreas is the most overlooked organ in our body, says Loretta.

    In this episode she talks us through many symptoms and health issues can stem from the pancreas but that can often remain undiagnosed.

    This is both fascinating and insightful and might just be a huge missing link in diagnosing your unspecified health issues and varying symptoms.

  • 45 : A neuroscientific explanation of why we self-sabotage and how to use it as an opportunity

    Why is it that we resist or even sabotage doing what we know is the right thing for our health, well-being and personal growth ?

    For example, we have a burning desire to eat healthily but then find ourselves reaching for the third cookie or slice of pizza rather than the vegetables.

    In this Episode we discuss this conflict between what we want to do (or know we should do) and what we feel like doing. The struggle between our long-term goals and the tempting whispers of instant gratification.

    Understanding this is the first step to mastering it because it is easy to brush these off as moments of weakness and be upset with ourselves. Turns out though that this is just a natural part of being human and understanding the underpinning brain science is really helpful.

    We explain how this battle of wills actually plays out in the intricate pathways of our brain called the Limbic System. We take a look into what Dr. Andrew Huberman defines as Limbic Friction which is the energy required to overcome anxiety, procrastination and/or fatigue.

    This friction isn't a flaw, it's a feature. The challenge lies in recognizing when it serves us and when it derails our best-laid plans. There's no magical off-switch for limbic friction. It's a part of the intricate, beautiful, sometimes maddening tapestry of being human. But by understanding it, we are no longer at its mercy. We can ride its waves, harness its energy, and channel it towards our goals and dreams.

    Limbic friction, in all its challenge, offers us profound gifts. It reminds us of our primal roots, pushes us to evolve, and presents wonderful opportunities for growth.

    Being armed with knowledge is the first step. But in this Episode, we also offer some strategies and tools to recognise it and work with it so that it works for us rather than frustrating us.

    In essence, designing a limbic-friendly lifestyle isn't about stringent rules or constant battles. It's more about understanding this beautiful dance between who we were, who we are, and who we aspire to be.

    Every time we choose the challenging path over the easy one, we're sculpting a stronger, wiser version of ourselves.

    Take a listen for more as we shine a light on navigating the discomfort of life's challenges and not eradicating them but learning to dance with them and harness them for growth and healing.

    We talk you through embracing, celebrating, and mastering the beautiful mess of our brains and how to ride the wave, one mindful choice at a time.

  • 44 : Are you creating life or avoiding death ?

    When we get a diagnosis like cancer we are potentially faced with our mortality which evokes a lot of fear, and this is natural.

    The thing is though that when we act from this place of fear, we not only compromise our immune system (see Episode 11), but we inadvertently focus on the very thing that we want to eradicate (the disease). We want to beat the cancer or destroy the illness.

    This is normal when we are faced with something that threatens our survival. It is important though to know how to recognise this and how to work with it.

    In this Episode Loretta offers incredible life changing insights, including why this happens and a short, simple, but very powerful process to step out of the fear and step into the unknown of the life and health we want.

    This applies not just to illness but toxic relationships, careers, in fact to all of our lives.

    The information in this Episode could completely change how you approach your healing.

  • 43 : The TRUTH about alcohol and your physical and mental health with Janet Gourand (Tribe Sober)

    In this Episode we talk through the REAL effect of alcohol on our physical and mental health.

    There is a huge a knowledge deficit about the hard facts regarding alcohol and also a lot of misinformation.

    We take you through scientifically researched information that the average drinker probably doesn't know.

    We cover the following :

    • The hard-hitting facts and statistics about the effect of alcohol on our physical health and brain. For example, 7 types of cancer and 60 diseases have been linked to alcohol.
    • How alcohol fuels anxiety, depression, other mental health issues, as well as poor sleep, a lack of energy, poor gut health, metabolism and dehydration among others.
    • Whether it is possible to moderate and whether there is a safe limit ?
    • We look at how stopping the booze goes way beyond being sober and healthier, sobriety is the springboard to self-development and a second lease on life.
    • Sobriety is the new "IN", especially among young people, 25% of whom in the UK are sober.
    • Antoinette and Janet share their own journeys with alcohol and going sober.

    WHO IS JANET GOURAND?

    Janet Gourand is a writer, a podcaster and a recovery coach. She quit drinking in 2015 at the age of 63. She founded Tribe Sober which enables people to change their relationship with alcohol. Tribe Sober is an international community which offers a membership program.

  • 42: How to recognize and deal with triggers so you can use them to be your teacher

    A trigger is an emotional response not equal to the event.

    It is too big a reaction in relation to the external event. This is because it is a response to an unhealed emotional wound and our reaction is literally below our awareness.

    Triggers make us human, and they happen to us at work, in relationships, and in interactions with complete strangers.

    They are not bad as they give us an opportunity to observe and reflect which enables us to heal. When we heal triggers, we change the way we perceive the world around us and our interactions with the people in it.

    If this sounds simple, it's because it is. At the same time, it's so difficult to practice because we are having an unconscious reaction during an emotional trigger.

    If we can identify triggers and separate ourselves from the emotional reaction, we gain insight.

    In this Episode we guide you through how to notice when you are triggered, how to identify your triggers and how to let your triggers be your teacher and use them for growth.

    This work is difficult and takes time, but it is life-changing! Commit to it because you deserve to be Free.

  • 41: The emotional cycle of change

    To improve and grow, change is required. Effective change involves thought and emotion. Whether you are learning to ride a bike, lead in a new direction, embarking on self-healing or getting in better physical shape or proposing a project to renovate the house, this will be valuable information.

    There are several change models out there but this one deals with the emotional aspects of change. It's been adapted from Psychologists Don Kelley and Daryl Connor.

    If you understand the emotional cycle of change, it normalizes the range of emotion that occurs and keeps you from going off the rails.

    The Five Stages People Move Through Emotionally When Changing Behaviour :

    1. Uninformed optimism

    2. Informed pessimism

    3. Valley of despair

    4. Informed optimism

    5. Success and fulfilment

    Take a listen for the details of each of these stages.

    Change will be an emotional ride but if you know the ride and embrace it, that is when real change happens.

    Use the knowledge in this Episode to increase your chances of healthy change.

    This information is very valuable for both those embarking on change, but also for coaches to make their clients aware.

  • 40 : Simone Steyn - pain and neuroplasticity coach talks to us about chronic pain and fatigue, migraines, fibromyalgia and other mind-body syndromes

    The information in this Episode could be a turning point in your health if :

    • You have ongoing pain and /or fatigue that remains undiagnosed.
    • Pain that you just cannot shift after 3-6 months.
    • Chronic fatigue.
    • Fibromyalgia.
    • Migraines.
    • Autoimmune disease.
    • Any mind-body syndrome.

    Our guest, Simone Steyn, is creating a new frontier in the education and management of these "syndromes" by combining Mind-Body techniques with Psychology, Wellbeing Coaching, Psychoneuroimmunology and Pain Neuroscience.

    According to Simone, people with pain-related syndromes often go undiagnosed or are incorrectly diagnosed, or if they do get an accurate diagnosis, they are not given pain neuroscience education which is a cornerstone for healing.

    Pain is a complex and multifaceted experience produced by the brain that is there to keep us alive and as such acute pain is very necessary for our survival. BUT when pain becomes a chronic long-term condition and moves beyond the point of the body's natural healing process (3-6 months), it can be assumed that this pain is no longer structural (arising from injury, physical trauma or inflammation) but is, what pain science calls, Mind-Body Syndromes).

    Mind-body syndrome—or MBS — is a term used to describe real physical symptoms, like pain and fatigue, that are not caused by structural damage in the body but instead by the way the nervous system has become hypersensitive and is responding to stress, emotions, and past experiences.

    According to Simone, neuroscience education is a critical starting point to starting the healing process for a mind-body syndrome. Insight and learning what is actually going on in your body and brain is the starting point to healing.

    In this Episode she talks us through the basics of what you need to know about pain – neuroscience education and the body-brain connection.

    Simone was diagnosed with a debilitating mind-body syndrome called fibromyalgia in 2014. The Dr had not given her any information about what this was or how to manage it. The lack of information resulted in her mind running wild with fear of this unknown label and her pain and symptoms getting worse.

    So, she took it upon herself to study Interdisciplinary Pain Management through a well-known South African expert in the field, Prof Romy Parker at the University of Cape Town. What she learnt on this pain management postgraduate degree opened up her whole world and started her on a path to her own healing and wanting to combine her previous psychology training with helping those living with daily pain and suffering.

    Simone has come a long way in her healing and recovery process and now works as a pain neuroplasticity coach to take others through this journey.

    The healing path she takes her clients on is :

  • 39 : The Mortality Blind Spot: How It's Sabotaging Your Health

    Could your trust in the healthcare system be quietly putting your health at risk?

    In this episode, we uncover iatrogenic disease—harm caused by medical treatment—and why it's on the rise. From adverse drug reactions to hospital-acquired infections, the stats are sobering—especially for older adults.

    But there's good news: prevention is powerful. We explore how lifestyle changes, like strength training and reconnecting with your body, can reduce mortality risk more than the most prescribed drugs.

    This isn't about fear—it's about taking your power back.

    🎧 Listen now to learn:

    • What iatrogenic disease really means
    • Why chronic disease prevention is missing from most medical advice
    • How facing mortality can unlock better health

    👉 It's time to see what your body is capable of—with the right support.

About The missing link in your healing

From the publisher's feed

If we want to heal, we cannot understand the body in isolation from our mind, our emotions, our past, how we experience our daily lives and the environment we live in.
