Breaking the Silence: Conquering Bladder Leaks Naturally - Dr. Nigel Brayer
03/13/25 • 26 min
Are you planning your outings around bathroom locations? Do you avoid certain activities for fear of leakage? You're not alone—but you don't have to accept bladder issues as your new normal.
In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Nigel Brayer, developer of the Ironclad Bladder system, dismantles the pervasive myth that urinary incontinence is simply the price women pay for childbirth or aging. With clarity and compassion, he reveals why distinguishing between what's "common" and what's "normal" can transform your approach to bladder health.
The discussion ventures beyond the standard advice about pelvic floor exercises to explore the fascinating neurological component behind bladder control. Dr. Brayer explains that while Kegels might strengthen the 30% of your sphincter under conscious control, the remaining 70% depends on your autonomic nervous system—the delicate balance between stress response and relaxation that most modern women struggle to maintain.
Through relatable analogies and straightforward explanations, you'll understand how chronic stress creates a perpetually clenched system that eventually loses its ability to function properly. More importantly, you'll discover practical, non-invasive techniques to reset this system, beginning with simple daily mindfulness practices that can gradually restore normal function.
What makes this episode particularly powerful is Dr. Brayer's insight into the profound shame many women feel about incontinence. By connecting this shame to our earliest childhood achievements and self-worth, he offers a path to addressing the emotional burden alongside the physical symptoms.
Whether you're experiencing occasional leaks or frequent urgency, this conversation provides hope through understanding. Dr. Brayer's approach honors the body's innate wisdom and healing capacity while acknowledging when more intensive inter

Mind, Heart, Gut: Dr. Alan Salas on Conscious Pleasure
Dr. Alan Salas, a chiropractic physician and creator of the mind, body, and goal clearing systems, joins us for a profound exploration of sexual pleasure and the subconscious beliefs that shape our experiences.
The real journey to sexual freedom begins within. As Dr. Salas explains, while our conscious mind represents just 5-10% of our thinking, our subconscious holds a commanding 90-95% - storing every experience from birth until now. This subconscious programming creates the framework for how we experience pleasure, especially sexual pleasure. When mothers tell daughters "sex is dirty" or cultural norms shame certain expressions of sexuality, these messages become deeply embedded programs that limit our capacity for joy and connection.
What makes this conversation particularly illuminating is Dr. Salas's three-step approach to reprogramming these limiting beliefs. By deleting outdated programming, replacing it with empowering beliefs, and creating new patterns, we can develop what he calls "an open mind, an open heart, and an open will." This state allows for conscious pleasure - being fully present with ourselves and our partners.
Dr. Salas shares a revolutionary framework connecting different aspects of our being: the head (how), heart (why), and gut or "hara" (what). This integration of masculine energy (peace of mind), feminine energy (emotional expression), and creative energy creates the foundation for truly conscious relationships. When we operate from this place of integration rather than just our analytical minds, we experience sexuality not just as physical pleasure but as "the ultimate experience of sharing" that can actually raise our consciousness.
