I recommend listening to the first one before listening to this one.UNFORTUNATELY for all of us… I was mentally impaired and especially stupid the day we recorded this one, thanks to my brain being flooded with histamine, so this conversation is a little disjointed and staying behind the paywall. We cover MCAS / Histamine / Orthorexia / and then… Demons & Dinosaurs & Giants 🤣Just know that everything I say about the spirit world, I’m saying veeeerrrrryyyy loosely based on current research and thoughts … I’m not saying any of this definitively.

Hello! After all my effort merging my old podcast with my new substack podcast… I split them again. Meaning, I’m starting over again, with a new podcast: Problematic. Today’s episode is most problematic direction of them all… talking about health, chronic illness, and v @ ccines.In this episode, my friend Adrian (of @capitalism.and.glitter on instagram) talks about her journey of discovery with her health after becoming disabled from COVID... We cover RCCX theory! V@ c cine injury! Government corruption! And more!I had to cut some of this episode for length, so I’ll be releasing lots of what I cut behind the paywall later this week (I hope, I usually overpromise on timing…), and I also plan to talk to her again soon (“soon”), because really, we just scratched the surface of what I hoped we would get into talking about.I actually wrote my most recent post, detoxing vs. nourishing, and posted it before releasing this episode on purpose, because I wanted to give some context for when Adrian and I off-handedly refer to “minerals” and “organ meat”… we are both on the “nourish your body with minerals” train right now… so check it out if you haven’t yet.*This episode was partially sponsored by Micro Balance Health Products.

Today's episode is a conversation with Lindsey Lockett, trauma educator and coach, and she tells her story of how she left Fundamentalist Christianity, the fallout in her body and mind of living so long in such a binary belief system, and how she found trauma healing and nervous system work.

Today I am sharing my conversation with Leslie Schilling, MA, RDN, CSCS, CEDRDS-S, where she talks about diet culture and purity culture in the church (and how is mirrors our culture at large!). We also chat about Gwen Shamblin, the infamous "Christian" cult leader, and the way the bible was (mis)interpreted. Though, today's episode is from the perspective how to change the mindset in the church from a focus on purity, to one of love, acceptance, and "grace" (a word Leslie breaks down in the conversation!). This episode is for all people, regardless of your religion, because the parallels run so deep. And next episode will be a different conversation of leaving Fundamental Christianity and finding trauma healing.

Is the anti-diet world culty too? Yes. It can be. (Anything can be!) Therapist and Coach Catie Lynch and I unpack extremism in the anti-diet world, black and white thinking, “cancel” culture and mob mentality online, as well as what true healing from an eating disorder looks like beyond outrage. “Can we focus on actually creating the life that diet culture took from us, instead of spending the rest of our life angry at diet culture?” I also talk about microdosing, medical marijuana, restless leg syndrome, human design (we are both “projectors”), and MORE. Find Catie's general account here, and business coaching account here. Also! My second book is out! You can read more about extremism and my restless legs in Tired as F*ck 🤣

Hello! Today's episode is short and sweet... I'm starting off with a 10 minute audio-chapter from the audiobook of Tired as F*ck. And, that audio clip just so happens to be about anxiety, and what it's like to be a person with a normal amygdala (aka, not a psychopath). Then, I go over the three different "categories" of anxiety you will deal with when healing your relationship with food and weight!
