How Does the Subconscious Mind Influence Our Health?

I feel privileged to have had the chance to speak on the Vibrant Wellness podcast. I share my experience, insights, and courage for humanity to embody spiritual principles as a direct and real path toward feeling alive, joyful and well! I hope you enjoy your listen!

“Today on the Vibrant Wellness Podcast, we welcome Nicole Reilkoff, a certified naturopath and reflexologist. She shares her journey from childhood trauma and addiction to holistic wellness. Join Dr. Emmie Brown and Melissa Gentile as they explore the world of hormones, neurotransmitters, and cytokines, showing how these biochemical forces shape our emotional well-being. We’ll discuss common myths about diet and lifestyle’s role in mental health and stress the importance of addressing emotional states in healing.

Ever wondered about the gap between the physical body and the soul? We investigate this divide through the lenses of Western medicine and Chinese energetic medicine. Building on Candace Pert’s idea of the body as the subconscious mind, we point out the deep physiological roots of emotions and the need to integrate this understanding into holistic practices. Our conversation reveals how cultivating body trust and situational awareness can foster healthier connections with oneself and others, highlighting the power of vulnerability and open communication.

Lastly, we illuminate the profound mind-gut connection and how societal constructs shape our emotional experiences. From mindful eating to the challenging but crucial process of dissociation for trauma survivors, we cover practical strategies to enhance both emotional and physical health. We wrap up with advice on nutrition and sleep, emphasizing the transformative power of positive self-talk and holistic approaches to healing. Tune in for an insightful discussion that will elevate your understanding of holistic health and emotional well-being.”
