What if your mouth is communicating far more about your health than you've ever realized?

In this episode of The Underlying Answers Podcast, Cindy sits down with functional dentist Dr. Yasmin Chubbi to explore a different way of thinking about oral health—one that looks beyond teeth and gums to understand how the mouth influences the entire body.

Together, they discuss what makes functional dentistry different from traditional dentistry and the benefits of viewing oral health as part of a whole-body system, rather than in isolation. From chronic inflammation and infections to breathing patterns, sleep apnea, and the body's energetic meridian system, Dr. Chubbi explains how seemingly local issues within the mouth can have far-reaching effects throughout the body.

This conversation offers a fascinating introduction to the interconnected nature of human health and highlights why understanding the body as a whole often reveals answers that isolated approaches can miss.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• What functional dentistry is and how it differs from traditional dental care
• Why oral health plays a much larger role in overall wellness than most people realize
• How infections and chronic inflammation in the mouth can influence the rest of the body
• The relationship between the mouth, meridians, and whole-body function
• How breathing patterns, jaw development, and oral health may contribute to sleep apnea and other health concerns
• Why viewing the body as an interconnected system changes the questions we ask about health

Whether you're interested in holistic health, chronic illness, or simply curious about how the mouth connects to the rest of the body, this episode offers a compelling look at one of the most overlooked pieces of whole-person health.

When Being Strong Becomes Too Heavy.

What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't coming from everything you're doing—but from who you've believed you needed to be?

In this episode of The Underlying Answers Podcast, Cindy sits down with life coach and HR executive Lori Pugh for an honest conversation about the hidden patterns that leave so many people overwhelmed, anxious, and emotionally exhausted.

Together, they explore how the pressure to be responsible, capable, dependable, and everything to everyone can quietly become part of our identity. While these qualities are often celebrated, they can also lead us to carry burdens we were never meant to bear, leaving us disconnected from ourselves, our peace, and the life we truly want to live.

Rather than offering quick fixes for burnout, Lori invites listeners to look beneath the surface—to understand where these patterns begin, why they persist, and what becomes possible when we finally release the need to hold everything together.

If you've ever found yourself constantly striving, overthinking, or wondering why life still feels overwhelming despite doing everything "right," this conversation offers a compassionate invitation to reconnect with yourself and discover a different way of living.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What often lies beneath overwhelm, burnout, and anxiety
• How responsibility can quietly become part of our identity
• The hidden cost of always being the dependable one
• Why so many people struggle to experience lasting peace and balance
• Letting go of the pressure to fix everything and everyone
• Reconnecting with authenticity, faith, and your true sense of self
• What changes when you finally choose yourself

Healing Through the Eyes of a Neuroscientist: Where Science, Spirituality, and Consciousness Meet

What if healing isn't about choosing between science and spirituality—but discovering how they were always meant to work together?

In this episode of The Underlying Answers Podcast, Cindy sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Cindy Sholes for an open and thought-provoking conversation that challenges the traditional boundaries of healing. Together, they explore how neuroscience, consciousness, spirituality, and integrative healing practices each contribute valuable pieces to understanding the human experience.

Rather than viewing Western medicine, Eastern practices, and consciousness as competing approaches, they discuss how fear, personal experiences, and deeply held beliefs can unknowingly create barriers that prevent us from embracing a more complete model of healing.

The conversation also explores why lasting healing often requires looking beyond symptoms to identify the originating events, patterns, and beliefs that continue to shape our health. By understanding what lies beneath the surface, we can begin moving from simply managing symptoms to addressing the deeper causes that influence how we think, feel, and function.

Whether you're grounded in science, drawn to spirituality, or simply curious about how these worlds can complement one another, this episode offers an invitation to rethink what's possible when we stop asking which approach is right—and begin asking how they can work together.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why science and spirituality don't have to exist on opposite sides of healing
• The role of consciousness in creating lasting transformation
• Finding the originating event instead of chasing symptoms
• How beliefs can become protective patterns that quietly keep us stuck
• Fear as a barrier to receiving healing from unexpected places
• Why integrating Western medicine, Eastern practices, and consciousness creates a more complete healing model
• Learning to trust the wisdom and intelligence of the body

What does self-care actually look like when you're overwhelmed, exhausted, caring for others, and barely making it through the day?

In this episode, Cindy sits down with Rebe Goebel, trauma-informed somatic healer, author, advocate, and mother of two neurodivergent teens, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what it means to care for yourself when life doesn't slow down.

Together, they explore the human side of stress, caregiving, nervous system regulation, and the moments when emotions feel so intense that "the scream wants to come out of your mouth." Rather than focusing on self-care as something that only happens on vacation, at a spa, or during a retreat, Rebe shares practical strategies that can be integrated into everyday life—even in the middle of chaos.

Throughout the conversation, Rebe offers simple yet powerful tools for staying present, habit-stacking supportive practices, and learning to prioritize your own well-being while continuing to show up for the people who depend on you.

This episode is a reminder that healing doesn't always happen in grand gestures. Sometimes it begins with a single pause, a deeper breath, or a moment of choosing yourself in the middle of a difficult day.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Practical self-care for real life—not ideal life
• Nervous system regulation during stressful moments
• Why pauses are more powerful than most people realize
• Habit stacking and creating sustainable, supportive practices
• Caregiving without completely losing yourself
• Responding instead of reacting during difficult moments
• The relationship between presence, resilience, and healing

So many women have been taught to approach health, healing, and body change through pressure, restriction, self-criticism, and force — believing that if they could just try harder, control themselves more, or finally “fix” themselves, lasting change would come.

But what if that pressure is actually part of what keeps people stuck?

In this episode of The Underlying Answers Podcast, Cindy sits down with Mindset & Embodiment Coach Jami Fassett to explore the deeper patterns behind nervous system safety, self-trust, body image, emotional healing, and sustainable transformation.

After spending 27 years trapped in the all-or-nothing dieting cycle, Jami experienced a radical shift that changed everything: learning to lead with joy, self-partnership, and safety instead of pressure and punishment. Now, after maintaining a 70-pound weight loss for eight years, she helps women create supportive, sustainable change without fighting themselves in the process.

Together, Cindy and Jami explore:
• Why pressure-driven healing often backfires
• The nervous system’s role in lasting change
• What self-criticism does to the body over time
• Why joy and safety matter in the healing process
• Rebuilding trust with the body after years of control and criticism
• The difference between forcing change and supporting transformation

This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing may not come from learning how to push harder — but from finally learning how to work with yourself instead of against yourself.

In this episode of The Underlying Answers Podcast, Cindy Costley sits down with Coach Colt from Reclaim Wellness for a conversation exploring the growing disconnect between modern wellness culture and the individuality of the human body.

Together, they discuss why one-size-fits-all approaches to health often leave people feeling frustrated, exhausted, and disconnected from themselves — and what begins to change when we start recognizing that our biology, stress responses, energy, and healing patterns are deeply personal.

This conversation explores:

Personalized wellness and genetic individuality
Stress and its impact on the body
The relationship between body awareness and healing
Why many people feel like they are “failing” wellness plans
Rebuilding trust with the body instead of working against it
The deeper intelligence behind symptoms, fatigue, and dysregulation

This episode invites listeners into a broader conversation about learning to understand the body as an intelligent, responsive system — not a problem to fight against.

Because your body isn’t random. It’s patterned.

In this episode of The Underlying Answers Podcast, Cindy Costley introduces a new way of looking at symptoms—one that shifts from trying to fix the body to beginning to understand it.

Most people have been taught to suppress, manage, or push through what they feel. But what if your body isn’t malfunctioning… what if it’s responding?

Cindy shares a simple, grounded overview of how stress and past experiences can influence the body—impacting the nervous system, immune response, and overall regulation—and how those responses can show up physically over time.

More importantly, she introduces the first step in reconnecting with your body: awareness.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why symptoms may not mean what you think they do

How stress and past experiences can influence physical responses

What it means to begin seeing your body as a messenger

A simple way to start building awareness through a “Purposeful Pause.”

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or disconnected from your body, this episode will help you take the first step toward understanding what it may be trying to tell you.

Because your body isn’t working against you.

It’s communicating.

And when you begin to listen…
Everything can start to make sense.

It’s time to restore the design.

In this episode of The Underlying Answers Podcast, Cindy Costley shares her personal journey of developing severe, life-altering reactions at the age of 15—and how those patterns continued to expand over time.

What began as visible rashes and reactions to foods, environments, medications, and materials slowly progressed into a body that felt like it was reacting to everything.

After years of searching for answers, pushing through life’s challenges, and navigating additional stressors—including loss and single motherhood—Cindy reached a breaking point at age 48 when her body could no longer keep up.

Following a severe anaphylactic reaction and a rapid decline in her health, she was faced with a perspective that changed everything:

Her symptoms were not random—they were connected to unresolved experiences her body had been holding all along.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How physical symptoms can develop and expand over time

Why your body may be responding to more than just your current environment

The connection between stored stress, past experiences, and physical reactions

What it means to begin seeing your body as a messenger instead of the problem

If you’ve ever felt like your body is unpredictable, limiting your life, or not making sense—this episode will help you begin to see your symptoms through a different lens.

Because your body isn’t working against you.

It’s responding.

And when you begin to understand why…
Everything can start to change.

It’s time to restore the design.

In this episode of The Underlying Answers Podcast, Cindy Costley introduces a new way of understanding your body—one that moves beyond symptom management and into deeper awareness.

After years of experiencing severe reactions to foods, environments, and everyday life, Cindy began to see something differently: her body wasn’t working against her—it was responding.

And more importantly… it was communicating.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why your body may not be “malfunctioning” the way you think

How symptoms can be signals, not just problems

What it means to begin listening to your body in a new way

Why healing may not be about fixing—but about understanding

If you’ve ever felt confused by your symptoms or stuck searching for answers, this episode will shift how you see your body—and where you begin looking for answers.

Because your body has been speaking to you your entire life.

It’s time to listen.
It’s time to restore the design.
