44% of knee pain has its origin elsewhere.
Why being diagnosed with osteoarthritis is not an automatic sentence to a life of pain.Why it’s so important to examine a person holistically and not just focus on the joint that hurts.How spine issues become knee issues, and how to approach that.Hands-on work: The questions you can ask yourself to quickly figure out what might be causing your pain.
Do you know anyone with knee pain? It feels like there are so many people who just kind of program themselves for it. It’s ‘part of getting old’ for them. So of course, the body listens.
We already know that even when there’s actual, mechanical damage, knee pain is not the guaranteed result. And we also know that even when there is pain, it can be managed and improved with many holistic techniques, so surgery or injections are far from the only solution. And of course, sometimes the knees are not even the cause of knee pain…
Ron Clinton is a physiotherapist with 35 years of experience and an authority on all things knees and spine. He helps people identify and deal with the root causes of their pain and often resolves even the most difficult cases without the need for surgery.

“There are very trusted brands whose supplements are very mediocre, to say the least.”
What to look for when choosing a brand of supplementsWhat are some of the essential quality procedures they should follow (and disclose)Whether organic supplements are always better than regularWhat are some of the things you should look for (and avoid) when checking labelsWhat are some of the things that aren't as scary as they seem
If you had asked me a decade ago what I thought about supplements, I’d probably say that they’re unnecessary, because a well-planned diet should provide you with pretty much everything that you need (with perhaps one or two exceptions). I now understand that my thinking was at least a bit idealistic, if not totally wrong. Yes – a perfect diet should provide you with pretty much everything you need. But a perfect diet does not exist. And my own thinking about supplements has changed a lot over the years.
One thing that hasn’t changed is my belief that you should be able to do your own research and understand what you’re taking, and why.
But it can be hard to know where to start and who to trust in the supplement industry.
Jerry Sever is the Chief Operating Officer at Complement, a supplement brand that evolved primarily to fulfill the needs of people on plant-centric diets, where he’s responsible for research, development and production of new products. He also happens to be my husband, so I know first-hand how much work they put into developing quality supplements, and also into being transparent with their customers.
This episode is not about promoting their products, though. Knowing what kind of insights Jerry can offer, we dove deep into things that most people don’t know about the supplement industry, but which can definitely help you make better choices.

You may lose parts of your physical body – but you are still you.
Ways you can manage ‘phantom pains and sensations’ in body parts that are no longer functioning or you have lost.How to face everyday struggle and turn it around.Why pity will cause you problems, but empathy will empower you.How to cope with different kinds of loss so that you can still live your life to the fullest.
Many/most people build their identity around their bodies. That is normal and natural – the body is the physical YOU. But what if you have an accident where the end result means that you lose a limb or two or three? Who are you then? Please know that you may lose parts of your physical body – but you are still you. This is a hard lesson for most people to even think about, even though we have come a long way in normalizing disability and amputees. And speaking of things that are hard to think about – how about dying?
Dr. Bruce (BJ) Miller has vast experience with both. As a triple amputee since age 19, he’s lived through the positive changes in society, worked with other amputees, and knows how important it is to navigate through everything that losing limbs brings, both mentally, emotionally and physically. And as a palliative care physician, he’s witnessed thousands of people face their death, and he’s one of the leading voices in reframing our discourse and views of dying.

Balance is always important. Especially when healing.
What are the blind spots of Western medicine and how Eastern medicine can complement your healing. How yin and yang energy affect your recovery. Different modalities that can help you resolve chronic and acute pain. Hands-on work: 4 acupressure points to keep your energy flowing.
To keep things flowing smoothly it’s important to have balance. Focusing more on one thing and forgetting or ignoring others creates a situation that is not harmonious – and this can cost you greatly further down the road.
Balancing energies has been a big area of focus in Eastern medicines for thousands of years. It’s something that isn’t really talked about in our evidence-based Western medicine, but is crucial in, for example, Traditional Chinese Medicine. And when we speak of balance, this also applies to how we combine and use the techniques each of these approaches offers.
This is an interesting and important point that Dr. Felicia Yu, an integrative medicine physician with a specialty in traditional Chinese medicine and culinary medicine, brings up in this talk – that Western and Eastern medicine can be viewed as the Yang and the Yin, which also means that knowing when to use one approach, and when to look to the other is essential.

We need to be our own best cheerleader.
What is your inner healing power and how to release it. About Dr. Maya’s unique approach to healing and why it works so well. What is The Mindful Injury Recovery Method and how to use it to your advantage. The 5 questions to explore that will help you turn things around fast.
Sure, we all have down moments and sometimes it’s hard to do that. But constantly only relying on others to tell you what to do, how to think, where to go, what to choose, how to do things, can leave you in confusion, fear, and disappointment. I truly believe that each and every one of us already possesses all the answers that we need in any kind of situation and with any kind of challenge. The problem is that many forget how to listen to that tiny voice within, or can’t hear it because they fill their minds with external stuff from social media, TV, newspapers, magazines – and to hear it, it’s necessary to have some quiet time.
Because we all have the capacity to heal – but we need to get in touch with it.
And through my own healing journey and through working with other injured people, I’ve developed my Mindful Injury Recovery Method, but I’ve also learned that to apply it in the best way, you have to ask the right questions.
These are things that I ask people when working with them one on one, but you should definitely be asking them yourself whenever you’re faced with an injury, even if it seems something unimportant.

Whatever happened to you, you shouldn’t be diminishing your own experience, or downtalking your trauma.
Why the overwhelming feelings you are experiencing right now might not be caused by injury-related trauma. How comparison can negatively affect your recovery and what to do instead. What makes an attitude of gratitude one of the many small important steps you need to be taking right now. Hands-on work: deep breathing calming exercise.
Broken ankle, broken back, a tendon tear, those are all very general descriptions of what happens to us, but as with anything, the details are what matters.
Comparing one injury to another and then doubting yourself if you’re healing well since someone else is progressing so fast is just not a good thing to do. Comparison can cut your motivation, put your mind into a negative place, let you ride that nasty emotional roller-coaster for too long, and it can affect your healing as well.
But what to do if you find yourself comparing yourself with others? There are ways that pretty much any experience can be turned into a growth opportunity, and this goes double for injuries.
Dr. James Gordon is an expert in using mind-body medicine to heal depression, anxiety, and psychological trauma, published author, and creator of programs of mind-body healing for physicians, medical students, and other health professionals. And in this really important talk, we explore how you can always find things to be grateful for, and things that will positively affect your mental state, and in turn, your physical health.

Can you really heal with just the power of thoughts?
How your thoughts affect your physical body and recovery.Easy steps for learning energy healing and how to use it on yourself.How your genes affect your healing and how to turn on those that positively affect your recovery.Hands-on work: tapping session for creating a positive shift in your mind and body.
The answer probably depends on how you approach this. If you just think very hard about healing, it probably won’t do much for you (and if you’re focused on your injury, it might even make things worse). But there is definitely power in your thoughts to change your health and your life. We’ve known it for a long time, and science is now slowly catching up to this.
That’s why I like hosting people who can take this subject, which so many still think is just pseudoscience, and very clearly explain all the evidence we already possess that our thoughts do have a direct effect on our bodies. And Dr. Dawson Church, energy psychology expert, best-selling author, and founder of the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare is a great guest to do just that.

Nothing happens without intention.
How the right questions get you unstuck in your recovery and life. What to do when you start thinking worst-case scenario thoughts and how to snap out of them. How to empower yourself to break the upper limit you created for yourself. What to do to put yourself into healing vibration.
It was summer 2010, a couple of months before I met my husband, when I was enjoying a long weekend with a bunch of friends on a sailboat on the Adriatic Sea. One of them was reading a book with what I though a weird title: ‘Ask and It Is Given’. Even though it was weird I was intrigued, got the book upon returning home, dove into it, started implementing what I discovered and at the end of summer met the love of my life; even though I had to say that I gave up on love all together after so many heartbreaks and difficult relationships.
What does this have to do with this interview? The book is about the Law of Attraction and manifesting, and manifesting is the intention that brings results. Not in the sense that you make something happen just by sitting around and wishing for it to be true. It’s that belief that moves you, and the world around you, in ways that we’re still just learning how to understand.
Lana Shlafer is a mindset coach and law of attraction expert who works with people who have reached an upper limit with what they believe they can create in life, and continuously helps them go beyond those limits. In this talk with her, we explore not just how she does that, but also what brought her to it (from investment banking, of all possible past careers), and the obstacles she overcame along the way.

Tapping should probably be in everyone’s recovery toolbox.
How the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) works for clearing your limiting beliefs. Why self-sabotage is a learned process and how you can turn this around with tapping. What are habitual negative emotions and how you can deal with them. Hands-on work: tapping session for releasing lingering fear.
If there’s one thing that I’ve heard from injured women and men countless times it’s this: “I’m so frustrated with this!” Whether with lack of progress or not progressing quickly enough, people around them not understanding them, or just being plain angry and frustrated with themselves for getting into this situation. It’s normal to experience a rainbow of emotions on a daily basis, the problem begins when we’re bathing in the negative emotions day in and day out. It can start affecting not only just our mood but our health and healing as well.
Tapping can really help you out – and it’s probably one of those tools that is great to have in your recovery toolbox. It’s one of those techniques that can be learned quickly by anyone and used almost anywhere, to address almost any kind of issue. And while it seems really simple, it’s actually based on the knowledge behind acupuncture, which has been around for thousands of years.
In this interview, Brad Yates, the internationally renown Emotional Freedom Techniques expert and best-selling author whose YouTube videos have been viewed millions of times, returns for another talk on the principles behind tapping and ways that you can use it to make healing easier.

Fasting can be really helpful when done right... and really bad for you when done wrong.
Why and how what you eat affects your body’s ability to heal.When water-only fasting could be appropriate for you – and when it’s definitely not.How ketosis and keto diet affect your ability to heal.What intermittent fasting is and how it can benefit you and your body.
It must have been in my very late teens or early 20s when I did my first fast. It lasted 3 days and as many people would confirm, the first 36 hours are the worst. And then – things got easy, or easier. After three days I kind of had to force myself to start eating again because I completely lost my appetite. If I could go back to that time I’d do things differently, but wise decisions usually come with life experiences.
Fasting is a useful tool, but it is one of those that really needs proper guidance and supervision. And rest!
With my first fast there were some mistakes that I made but resting wasn’t one of them. This is something that I’ve seen people do so many, too many times. They just stop eating for a period of time without any other changes. Without eliminating the stress or just keeping it very low, without skipping their workouts, without taking it easy.
Dr. Alan Goldhamer, Director of the True NorthHealth Cente is board-certified in fasting supervision and has 40+ years of experience with guiding people through fasting and helping them adjust their diet and lifestyle to truly maximize the health benefits. If you’ve ever wondered how fasting can help your body and healing, this conversation is a great resource.

We all remember 2020, don’t we?
What shamanism is and how it can help you on this recovery journey. Which techniques to use to help your body heal effortlessly. What is the difference between sadness and depression and how knowing this can change everything for you. How to address your emotional healing when you experience injury or trauma, particularly if you are feeling sad and/or depressed.
How could we forget days that turned into weeks that turned into months and then into years of fear, confusion, anger, mistrust, and doubts. Some people coped better, other people not so well. That situation forced all of us to sit with our feelings, thoughts, and loneliness.
To say that it was difficult is an understatement. While I was observing this craziness I couldn’t help but say quite a few times: “All people around the world are experiencing very similar things that injured people go through every day.”
When you injure yourself – especially if we talk about serious injuries – your life changes from one day to another. You cannot do things you love to do, you cannot move freely, and you’re not suffering just physically but psychologically as well. These are challenging times.
But even when people are forced to be still, they still don’t like looking inside themselves, and it’s because it can be a messy place. But it’s also the place where most answers and most healing comes from. So even if it’s messy, it can be so worth it. It really helps having some sort of guidance and this can come in a form of another person, or it can be a higher power, or even simple faith. Actually, what works best for many people is a mix of all three.
That guidance can be another person, or it can be a higher power, or even simple faith. Or a mix of all three – which is what this interview with Abby Wynne, a healer who blends shamanism, psychotherapy, and energy healing, is all about.

What if we all carry some anxiety?
Why physical trauma and traumatic experience overthrow people so badly and how you can help yourself.How fear and anxiety interfere with your healing, but also how anxiety can be a helper and how to make it work for you.What are the subconscious root causes of negative emotions.Hands-on work: guided meditation to help you release fear and anxiety.
What if this is something that all humans have in common with the only difference that the source and level, and the way we deal with it, is different? Yes, some of us are more resilient, and some of us are less – but unexpected life events like injuries can throw anyone off balance, and if you’re not used to listening to your anxiety, it can get a lot worse in such situations. And the sad part is that is can end up very strongly affecting your life.
So to nip problems in the bud is a better way, but even those events that seem unmanageable can be resolved.
Dr. Friedemann Schaub, the award-winning author of The Fear and Anxiety Solution, views it as something that needs to be tackled on all levels, but especially by going into the buried roots that we might be less aware of. With thousands of success stories from people he has helped, this discussion gives a truly great insight into how anxiety is formed and stored, and how we can address it.

It’s really hard to go wrong by eating more plants.
No matter what kind of nutrition research you look into, there’s one thing that most if not all researchers agree on: the more your diet includes whole foods and plants, the better it is for your health and healing.
What kind of role diet and nutrition play in your recovery. How gut microbiome affects inflammation and what you can do to minimize its effects. Which supplements can be beneficial to take while you are recovering from an injury. What is the downside of rushing the recovery and what to do instead.
I can agree that my own recovery was definitely a lot better because of the food I was eating. And truth be told, my doctor and physiotherapist couldn’t believe how little swelling I had, and my diet definitely played a big role in this. But even if you’re not injured, plants can provide the kind of nutrition that’s hard to get from other sources.
In this talk with Olympic skier and registered holistic nutritionist, Julia Murray, we focused heavily on the hows and whys of plant-based food for healing. While Julia herself discovered this only after ending her professional career due to injuries, what she accomplished afterwards probably wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for her knowledge of proper nutrition.

You have a healer inside.
The different modalities of energy medicine, and how to make the most of them in your healing. Practical exercises that you can do now to slow your mind down and work with your body from top to bottom to make it the healing center it is designed to be. How to ‘work’ with your body during injury and illness for incredible results. Hands-on work: creating a healing energy flow session.
I truly believe that each of us knows exactly what we need in order to heal when we get sick or end up with any kind of physical trauma. The problem is that people are either led to believe this is not the case or they overcomplicate things and then they become their own biggest obstacle.
We all have an incredible healing potential and there’s a powerful healer within each of us.
It’s definitely important to get external help such as getting surgery, or a splint when necessary, but the real process of healing starts after that stabilization when you need to look within and connect with the part of you that already knows how to do – how to heal.
That, in a nutshell, is the message of Dr. Sue Morter, the founder of the Morter Institute for BioEnergetics. Coming from a family of energy healers, Sue was destined to carry on this work that blends her clinical background and new discoveries of quantum healing with the ancient knowledge of yogic breathing, meditation, and energy work.

We often think healing trauma that’s buried deep is hard – but it doesn’t need to be.
Why and how any shock to your body needs to be processed and resolved for best recovery outcome. What you absolutely need to look into when dealing with pain. Which feeling you need to be experiencing the most for you to be able to heal with ease. Hands-on work: a rapid healing technique for dissipating discomfort.
Sometime in 2011, I had my first experience with hypnotherapy. I was positive that the therapist would hypnotize me to the point of me being kind of unconscious and then after everything was done I’d be cured and I definitely wouldn’t be able to remember anything. How wrong I was. And it was only a couple of years ago, when I was studying to become a clinical hypnotherapist that I realized how that therapist didn’t really prepare me for the session and what is actually happening during the time when a person is in hypnosis.
I really like the potential of hypnotherapy because the subconscious mind is so powerful and it can help you tremendously when healing any kind of trauma, injuries included. And because there always are deeper levels to discover and heal, if you’re willing to look for them.
Danna Pycher realized that after a car accident that led to her having to relearn how to walk, but also left her unsure of everything she had been sure of up until that point. So she turned inwards to heal, and in the process discovered hypnotherapy, which drew her so much that she’s now a hypnotherapist herself, as well as a motivational speaker whose TEDx talk has been viewed nearly 3 million times.

Healing from within means looking at the whole picture.
What energy healing is and why it’s crucial to your recovery.The true connection between thoughts, emotions and the physical body, and how these affect your healing.About the importance of taking control and self-responsibility in your healing.Why having a healthy gut is so important for the recovery and how to balance your microbiome.
That doesn’t mean that healing with external help can’t do the same – but it often misses things, and looks at symptoms and specific body parts or organs, rather than the whole body-mind-spirit being that we are. So the best healing with external help will actually mean helping you get to the point where you can heal from within.
That’s what Elena Bensonoff, the founder of Wholistic, Inc. does for her clients. Equipped with the knowledge she first gained when healing her own chronic issues, she now blends conventional medicine with holistic techniques to guide them to true and complete healing.

We would be in a lot of trouble without pain.
How your brain chemistry contributes to feelings of chronic pain. Why anxiety is primarily not a psychological issue and how you can resolve it. A simple three-step solution to help you become free from chronic pain. What is active meditation and how it will help you resolve persistent pain.
Say that again?
Yes, even though this might seem impossible, it’s true. In its acute form, pain can keep us from harm, teach us what (not) to do, and slow us down when we need to heal.
But on the other hand, chronic pain is a completely different thing, and it’s really linked more to our brain than it is to any actual damage in the physical body.
Dr. David Hanscom arrived at these conclusions in a really interesting way – as a spine surgeon, who realized that the procedures he was performing actually have an incredibly low success rate, and at the same time, that his approach to work was actually causing considerable adverse reactions in his own body. His approach now is very different from what he used to be doing – and also a lot more effective.

Injury recovery can be even more painful if you’re an active person or athlete.
How to choose the right team of health practitioners to support your recovery.What to do to start engaging your parasympathetic nervous system to help you heal better and faster.How your negative emotions affect your recovery and what to do to change them.Why ‘taking it easy’ during recovery can be stressful, especially for active people, and how to address the underlying reasons.
It’s true that no matter the level of activity, every person who is injured suffers. This is because it’s not only our physical body that gets affected but our emotional and mental ones as well.
And when it comes to athletes (or just very active people), sometimes we might think “They’re fine,” right? Because they already know how to deal with difficult situations, for example when hitting a ceiling with their progress or how to find motivation to keep going.
Even though this might be true to a degree, and it might help a bit, in my experience any type of injury gets us unprepared and even though we think we knew how to get through this, there are nuances that we just didn’t expect.
So, yes, perhaps your body might be in better shape overall, but when you get hurt, being unable to move like you’re used to can lead to mental and emotional suffering. Period. And on the other hand, pushing too hard so you can get back to your active lifestyle can turn out to not be so beneficial.
Heidi Armstrong, the founder of Injured Athlete’s Toolbox, was drawn into injury recovery coaching the same way I was – through her own injury, and the realization that there are better ways of supporting injured people than what she herself received, especially when it comes to the mind-body connection and creating the best possible conditions for healing.

Even when the source of pain seems obvious, it might not be.
Why the traditional approach to physical recovery is often not enough for great recovery.How to find the root cause of pain – many times not what you think it is.What to do to avoid compensation so that you don’t experience other physical problems after your injury.How different emotions are connected to different body parts and how this affects your healing.
When figuring out the physical reasons for pain in the body, it’s easy to fall into the trap of viewing the affected body part separately from the rest. But sometimes, the source can be quite far away – an injured foot, ankle, or even toe can lead to issues with the hips, lower back, and all the way up to the neck and head. And that one is simpler to figure out.
In this second conversation with Erica Meloe, a board-certified physiotherapist and author of the book Why Do I Hurt?, we talk about the sources of pain, ways we can discover them, and way to treat them so they don’t return.

Perfectionism can be painful.
What is one of the first things that you need to look into when there is really slow healing, or if there is no healing after an injury.How other traumatic experiences affect healing from an injury.Why the healing process is so often frustrating and what to do about it.Hands-on work: a powerful sweep technique that will change your healing journey.
We all have an incredible healing potential – the problem is that we very often forget about it. Sometimes that is because we give our power away and just wait for others to tell us what we need to do or not to do, and other times it’s because we get so caught up in our emotional and mental turmoil that it’s hard for us to remember this.
When we’re too hard on ourselves and expect too much of the body (especially if the body was hurt or isn’t working as it should), it can create energy blockages that can lead to slower healing and more pain.
That’s just one of the things covered in this talk with Amy B. Scher, an energy therapist whose book How to Heal Yourself When No One Else Canhas been translated into 13 languages. Energy healing involves truly figuring out the deep reasons behind injuries and pain, and in this discussion, we go deep into this process.
