Why Mia no longer sees her health through the “Lyme” label - and how shifting focus to symptom-by-symptom resolution changed everything.In this part two of our conversation with Mia, we unpack her experience with a “Lyme disease” diagnosis through the lens of GNM - and her resolution of the symptoms once linked to that label. Alongside resolving multiple anaphylactic allergies (see episode 38), Mia untangled the conflicts behind her Lyme symptoms, stepped out of the illness identity, and was able to get her life back. We explore how broad, catch-all diagnoses can obscure the real biological programs at play, why in GNM we look at symptoms individually rather than through diagnosis labels, and how labels can become woven into our self-identity. Mia also shares how GNM has transformed her parenting, her child’s health, and offers advice for integrating this paradigm into family life.Find us on Instagram:Ashlee - @alchemywithashleeAbigail - @ajpuccioniOur personal websites:Ashlee - alchemywithashlee.comAbigail - abigailpuccioni.comWhere to find MiaInstagram - @mialeesloIf you would like to submit a question or comment about the podcast, please reach out to us at freedomfromfearpod@gmail.com!
Mia went from living in fear of food with multiple anaphylactic allergies to eating freely by uncovering the real psychobiological roots of her symptoms.This is part one of our conversation with Mia, who once lived in constant fear of food and was allergic to nearly everything - including multiple severe anaphylactic allergies. After discovering GNM, she traced her symptoms back to their psychobiological roots and downgraded or resolved nearly all of them. Mia shares the conflicts behind her symptoms, the tools and modalities that supported her, and how she moved from restriction and fear to true food freedom. This is a profound, dramatic resolution story that clearly illustrates the 5 Biological Laws and serves as a powerful reminder that we truly cannot put limits on what the body is capable of.

In this raw and revealing episode, our guest Roselle Pastetes shares how unresolved conflicts around territory, trust, and womanhood showed up in her body - through UTIs, painful cycles, and vaginal discharge - and how her eventual divorce brought resolution in more ways than one.We explore the nuances of GNM's bladder mucosa and uterine programs, the limits of perceptual resolution, and how sometimes the body asks us to make real-life changes we’d rather avoid. This is a conversation about honoring your inner knowing, releasing self-blame, and learning when it’s time to let go - not just of symptoms, but of identities, relationships, and old stories.Find us on Instagram:Ashlee - @alchemywithashleeAbigail - @ajpuccioniOur personal websites:Ashlee - alchemywithashlee.comAbigail - abigailpuccioni.comWhere to find RoselleInstagram - @staywellwithroselleWebsite - www.staywellwithroselle.com/If you would like to submit a question or comment about the podcast, please reach out to us at freedomfromfearpod@gmail.com!
What if your movement routine, wellness goals, and even your favorite smoothie had nothing to do with being “healthy” - and everything to do with perception?In this episode, we talk with Abigail Chambley about how the fitness and wellness world looks radically different when viewed through the GNM lens. We explore the trap of chasing results, the subtle fear baked into the idea of “prevention,” and how even good habits can reinforce chronic conflicts if the underlying beliefs aren’t addressed.We also dive into the messy, layered reality of food freedom, acne resolution, and learning to trust your body - without turning wellness into a performance.This one’s a permission slip to slow down, loosen your grip, and remember that it’s not the thing itself… it’s your relationship to it (even the GNM framework).Find us on Instagram:Ashlee - @alchemywithashleeAbigail - @ajpuccioniOur personal websites:Ashlee - alchemywithashlee.comAbigail - abigailpuccioni.comWhere to find Abigail Chambley:Instagram - @abigailchambleyWebsite - click here If you would like to submit a question or comment about the podcast, please reach out to us at freedomfromfearpod@gmail.com!

We’re thrilled to sit down with our special guest, Marcy Bowman, as she shares her incredible journey of resolving a glandular breast adaptation through the lens of German New Medicine. Marcy takes us through how she uncovered the underlying conflict behind her breast tumor and the powerful practical action steps to facilitate a perceptual shift that supported her body’s natural healing process. Together, we explore the biological purpose of glandular breast tissue, why these adaptations occur, and how GNM offers a completely different way to understand and approach symptoms. Marcy’s story is an inspiring example of what’s possible when we move from fear to understanding (and taking action!), and we can’t wait for you to hear it!Find us on Instagram:Ashlee - @alchemywithashleeAbigail - @ajpuccioniOur personal websites:Ashlee - alchemywithashlee.comAbigail - abigailpuccioni.comWhere to find Marcy: Instagram - @the_marcybowman_methodWebsite - click hereIf you would like to submit a question or comment about the podcast, please reach out to us at freedomfromfearpod@gmail.com!
In this episode, we dive deep into separation conflicts - specifically, separation conflicts that affect the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis are some of the common diagnosis labels associated with this type of conflict! We share some resolution stories and explore the common “push-pull” nature of these conflicts, where the psyche perceives wanting to either draw someone close or push them away. You'll learn how this biological response plays out in symptoms like peeling, cracking, itchy, red, and/or painful skin. We also tackle a hot topic: topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) - why some people experience worsening symptoms after stopping steroids and how this relates to the underlying separation conflicts. Plus, we discuss the general use of extraneous agents such as creams, supplements, and treatments - do they help or hinder the healing process? If you’ve ever struggled with chronic skin issues (NOT acne - there’s a whole separate episode for that! See episode 16) and felt trapped in the cycle of treating symptoms without lasting resolution, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sophie Fletcher, a practitioner whose work blends Germanic New Medicine (GNM), somatic psychology, and nervous system healing to reveal the profound wisdom of the body. We discuss how symptoms can be understood as meaningful responses to life’s events, the connection between GNM and nervous system resiliency, and why your body is never wrong or broken. We also unpack the complex topic of resiliency, and how to understand nervous system “regulation” and “dysregulation” within the GNM framework. Sophie’s compassionate approach is a breath of fresh air and offers a transformative perspective on health, healing, and self-awareness.

In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into Ozempic and other external substances through the lens of German New Medicine. We’ll explore how Ozempic “works,” why it might seem effective for some people but not others, and the potential risks and dangers of relying on it (but also potential perceptual benefits). We also discuss the broader topic of medications, plant medicine, and other extraneous agents from a GNM perspective - helping you understand their role. By the end, you’ll have a clearer framework for making informed decisions about external substances and their impact on your body and psyche.

Muscle programs are often misunderstood in GNM, especially when it comes to distinguishing smooth muscle programs from the two types of striated muscle programs. In this episode, we break it all down, diving deep into the biological conflicts underlying each program and clarifying the nuances that set them apart. To make these concepts practical and relatable, we share plenty of real-life examples, including digestive issues, uterine fibroids, seizures, chronic pain, and more.

So, if it’s not germs or viruses causing disease, and if viruses don’t even exist, then what does explain the seeming phenomenon of contagion? In Part 2 of our series with Mark Gober, we examine "contagion" through the lens of German New Medicine but then we also venture beyond the 5 Biological Laws. We discuss the concept of "energetic contagion" - the idea that what we perceive as spreading illness may actually be a shared experience on a metaphysical level. While we certainly don’t claim to have all the answers, we share our own questioning process, our refusal to subscribe to any dogma, and offer new ways of thinking about health and the collective nature of consciousness. *SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT* Please join us January 25-26 in Austin, TX for PARADIGM SHIFT: A GNM Weekend!
