Kelsey Graham healed a myriad of symptoms including chronic Pelvic Pain and Fibromyalgia. We deep-dive into her past and see the Symptom Imperative in motion; when one problem heals, another problem begins.   With Kelsey's background and coaching we also spent a bit of time talking about nutrition, dieting (right and wrong ways). Kelsey is working on a book on the MindBody Connection in addition to being an Associate Professor at San Diego-Mesa College in San Diego, CA.

A lot of people are stuck in the cycle of chronic pain and I recently got asked to discuss an article on the people who can and cannot heal.   I give my opinions on why some people are stuck and some tips on where they can get unstuck. I also discuss an article I wrote for a website recently about my chronic pain story.  Once I got it all down on paper it was really amazing to see how much we all have in common.  You can find that article here: From President's Club to chronic pain: How one top-performing sales rep conquered chronic pain with an unexpected cure Facebook Page for This Podcast: The Mind and Fitness Podcast Page(Give us a Like!)

Michael Galinsky is a filmmaker from Chapel Hill, North Carolina - he started making films in the late 80s.  Galinsky is most known by the TMS/Sarno crowd for his co-creating of "All the Rage," a film that follows Michael through his chronic pain all the way to his full healing (link below).  I sit down with Galinsky as we discuss some of his projects, his encounters with Dr. Sarno, his take on TMS and why he doesn't call it TMS, among other things.

Chronic Pain and Chronic Illness is an elevated Fight-or-Flight response; it is your Sympathetic Nervous System on overdrive. In this episode I discuss some of the physiology involved in this along with some simple things you can do to amp up the Rest-and-Digest side - which is the Parasympathetic Nervous System. I also reiterate your safety; if you have the opportunity to listen to this podcast, I assure you, you are safe.

Janette Barber was a comedy producer and the Head Writer for the Rosie O'Donnell Show during it's apex; she won 5 Emmy Awards on that show along with another Emmy as a writer for "The View." Janette also spent 12 years as a Stand Up Comedian - appearing on Showtime, Comedy Central, and A&E. Most recently, Janette had a show on The Food Network called "Lighten Up," as well as a couple of shows on Sirius-XM Radio. In the TMS World she may be most well-known for being featured on an episode of 20/20 in the late 1990s (The 20/20 Story on Dr. Sarno). Janette was told she wouldn't walk again by a top orthopedic doctor in New York. She saw Dr. Sarno, was evaluated, went to his lecture, and was running a week or two later. Today we talk about her story and her relapse in 2012. Support from you for the show is HUGE - a simple 5 Star Review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes with a Written Review would help more people find the show and get help from the show.

It is rare to be literally the Best in the World at anything, let alone a competitive sport. Jennifer Hintenberger is a competitive Kettlebell Sport Athlete out of Eastern Canada. Her videos on Instagram (@jennifer.hintenberger) and YouTube caught my eye initially - she holds 15 World Records and is an International Kettlebell Marathon Federation World Champion. We talk through some of her impressive records, her training and how her athletics have evolved over time. In a surprise moment, Jennifer goes into detail about chronic pain (I swear I didn't plan this - it was completely ad-libbed) - literally had holes in her stomach on imaging, brought on by...  Stress.  The doctors' explanation on what was really going on with her intense stomach problems will blow your mind. If you like what you hear, please take the time to leave a written and 5-star review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

I just learned that "National Intern Day" was a thing and it is TODAY! My love for podcasting and broadcasting started a long time ago but in 2007 I had the opportunity to start interning at 950 KJR Sports Radio in Seattle.  This interview is from the week before college graduation in June of 2008; this was done by Elise Woodward during her time at KJR.  My final day on the job I got to be interviewed on-air. I thought it would be an appropriate day to drop this extra 8 minutes for you.
