Back Pain: Game-Changing Approach

Chances are you are one of the 31 million Americans experience low back pain at any given time. Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2010.

When I asked my community members what the top reasons were why they eat beyond hunger, chronic pain came in second. That feedback motivated me to share my own journey with pain in episode 138 "Things I'm afraid to tell you" but I hadn’t share with you how I healed my low back... that's what I'm going to tell you in today's episode.

Steven Ozanich, author of The Great Pain Deception will share with us the work of Dr. Sarno and TMS approach to pain... particularly, low back pain.

Here's the thing... this approach to healing pain requires no surgery, medication or expensive treatment. The solution is within you right now...

In this episode I discuss

What TMS is and how it could possibly change the way you interact with chronic pain
Why TMS is not public as a method of treatment
The surprising reason why pain could be a gift to you
What you can do if you have chronic pain today
What is the most destructive force in our lives

Last episode, I answered a question submitted by a community member, Kacie, about food anxiety by looking at how we create food anxiety and what we could do instead to still care for our health via our nutrition but not stress about it! If you haven't checked it out, go ahead and click here.

139-Ask Me: Avoiding Food Anxiety–How to Get to Worry-Free Eating

"I just want to be able to eat a damn piece of cake of my B-day without feeling like I'm going to die!"

How to get over a lot of the food fear we have developed over the years of dieting or partaking in nutrition education or food philosophy diet?

What about fructose and fruit... should I feel like I'm killing myself by eating an orange?

Or what about eating a croissant with white flour... why do I feel so terrible about myself for wanting one?

Today, we answer Kacie's question about food anxiety by looking at how we create the food anxiety and what we could do instead to still care for our health via our nutrition but not stress about it!

In this episode, I discuss

What is food anxiety and how do we solve it?
The root cause of food anxiety
What role does perfectionism play in your life?
What is the 80-20 rule and where can you apply it?
The different ways to look beyond food anxiety

Last episode was a vulnerable one. I shared with you the things I'm afraid to tell you. I took me time to put this episode together because of me being afraid of your rejection... being afraid of losing you. But this 'things I'm afraid to tell you' episode is for you, for me, for us to have a deeper more meaningful relationship. So that I continue my own healing journey and that you do yours.

141-I Just Need to Be Tougher on Myself...An Easier Way!

Are you using discipline towards yourself as a motivator? Or at least hoping that it will motivate you?

So many of us have been using that motivational "stick" for years... maybe even decades... without really being successful. We keep trying and say to ourselves: If I can be tougher on myself, it would work..." Or "I'm just too soft... if only I could be tougher"... and we keep trying. We keep shaming ourselves, beating ourselves up or punishing ourselves for "bad" behaviors in the hopes that it will finally work.

Where did we learn this concept? That harsh discipline is the best behavioral change method... likely how we were raised, right? Is that the way you were taught to be a good girl?

Let's be real honest here... How's that "being tough" on yourself working for ya? Not so good right... so, what can we do instead?

In this episode I discuss

What self-loathing and self-criticism really do to you
Where the belief "I need to be tougher on myself" come from
How your parents or caregivers impact the way you deal with your own behavior changes
What science says about the behavior of self-loathing and self-criticism
The real effective methods in behavioral change that you should be adopting

Last episode, we had Steven Ozanich on the show, author of The Great Pain Deception where he shared with us the work of Dr. Sarno and TMS approach to pain... particularly, low back pain. It was a very insightful discussion as it revealed a concept that is not very popular. Here's the thing... this approach to healing pain requires no surgery, medication or expensive treatment. The solution is within you right now... If you haven't checked it out, go ahead and click here.
