114. Lyme Disease Causes, Symptoms, Testing & Treatment With Dr. Diane Mueller Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

In this episode, Dr. Diane Mueller covers the causes, symptoms, testing, and treatment of Lyme disease. Lyme disease is known as the great mimicker. If you have been diagnosed with irritable bowel disease (or IBS) there is likely an underlying condition causing those symptoms.

The ones Dr. Mueller covers in this interview are Lyme disease, Mold disease, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

Do not settle on irritable bowel syndrome as a diagnosis. Taking medications to band-aid your symptoms does not address the root cause of your gut and health issues.

If you have chronic pain or chronic gut issues, watch this episode and learn your next steps for testing and treatment of digestive dysfunction.

Highlights From This Episode

The problem of treating symptoms instead of getting a proper diagnosis and solving the problem.
Dr. Mueller’s chronic constipation for over a decade led her to naturopathic medical school to finally fix her gut issues.
Symptoms of Lyme disease and when to test for Lyme disease.
How to find a doctor that treats Lyme disease.
How to treat Lyme disease.
Why Lyme and other infections so often occur together.

111. How to Stop Negative Self Talk With Jane Tornatore PhD, LMFT Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

Three of the biggest barriers to long-term weight loss I often hear are: negative self-talk that leads to self-sabotage; a lack of healthy boundaries with little time and energy to focus on yourself; and frequently putting the needs of other people above your own - at the expense of your own health.

Dr. Jane Tornatore has a PhD in Family Social Science and Family Therapy. As a recovering perfectionist, she knows the pain of being bogged down by old beliefs, feeling responsible for everything, and never quite measuring up to expectations.

Through her own ongoing inner growth work and exploration, she continues to discover the freedom and peace that come from questioning old beliefs, being gentler on herself, and living more from her heart, not expectations of others or old beliefs.

You’ll find this episode extremely valuable if, like me, you’re a recovery perfectionist and people pleaser.

Highlights From This Episode

Why removing “should, must, have to, and need” from your vocabulary can drastically reduce your unconscious stress.
Why Dr. Tornatore pivoted from 20 years working in Alzheimer’s research to Family and Marriage therapy.
What is a thought inhibitor, and how do they get in the way of following-through on our good intentions?
How we can stop making unhealthy food (instant gratification) more important than our health.
Why losing weight alone won’t make you feel more worthy - and how you can start to feel like you’re enough now.
Tips to reduce perfectionistic tendencies.
How to identify unconscious stress and master your stressful thoughts.

110. How to Use the Law of Attraction to Manifest Better Health Mar 05, 2022

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

Habits of action come from habits of thought. If you want to lose weight for good, learn how to use the law of attraction to manifest better health. Losing weight, maintaining weight loss, and getting healthy doesn't have to be hard. That is a limiting thought you’ve been telling yourself.

The key is to learn how to use the law of attraction to keep your focus on your desire, not the lack of your desire. This will create positive thoughts, emotions, actions, and results.

If you struggle with weight loss (or maintenance) mindset or want to dive deeper into weight loss psychology, buy the book Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks. For those who need a little less woo woo mindset book, I recommend the book I Am Enough by Marissa Peer.
NOTE: The URL for the free mindset training changed from the /feelgood link I said in the video. Go to https://www.zivli.com/freeaudio for that free mindset training.

Highlights From This Episode

Overview + book recommendation - Ask and It is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires by Esther and Jerry Hicks
How habits of action stem directly from habits of thought…and why you feel like you work so hard and see SO little results.
What is the law of attraction?
Why paying attention to your emotions (not ignoring, not stuffing) may be the ticket to changing your habits.
How so many people inadvertently use the Law of Attraction to attract the opposite of what they want.
What to do if you’re experiencing a negative emotion to guide your thoughts in a more productive way.
Example of a manifestation for better health + some of my own affirmations that I use each day.
Why knowing your definite purpose (overall health goal and why it’s important to you) is so important to make changing your negative thoughts and emotions to positive.
