Going Beyond Symptoms: Navigating Holistic Wellness with Dr. Matt Tolstoy Nov 01, 2023

Could there be a link between a health challenge, chronic pain, or behavior pattern and another seemingly unrelated area of your lifestyle or past trauma? The short answer is yes, there could be because of the interconnectedness of the various systems of the body, one imbalance can create another. Healthcare is moving away from the model of isolating the symptoms and instead looking at the body, mind, and emotions as a whole to uncover the root of the problem to support healing. This emerging approach to health refers to holistic wellness. In this episode of Stronger U Radio, Stronger U Registered Dietitian Gianna Masi sat down with Dr. Matt Tolstoy to discuss the elements of holistic wellness and why he believes it’s the future of healthcare.
Dr. Matthew Tolstoy is a pain rehab practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with a private practice in NYC and virtually. Additionally, he’s been on staff at New York City Ballet and an educator for Equinox Health Clubs. He helps many people with chronic pain and post-traumatic pain or stress-related conditions.
This multi-faceted conversation covers a lot of ground and touches on many important points including:

The pros and cons of holistic wellness.
The ethical gray areas in wellness and mental health due to the lack of boundaries (both personal and professional).
The definition of wellness heartbreak: how it happens, how you can prevent it, and what’s important to consider.
How to find a qualified and evidence-based holistic provider that you align with, plus the red flags to look for.

The traits of a healthy therapeutic relationship.
What Trauma is and isn't
The effects of stress, and anxiety accumulation on the body
What conventional and holistic medicine get right and wrong
The idea of “destination happiness” and how in some cases it can be a response from your body to keep you safe and from experiencing something you’re trying to avoid.

This is one discussion you’ll want to tune into if you’re interested in taking a more well-rounded approach to your well-being or if you’ve struggled with unresolved health issues or behavior patterns.

“Make walking great again.”
That’s the slogan that Stronger U Coach Dean Guedo lives by. In this Stronger U Radio episode, he joined SU Registered Dietitian and Manager of Nutrition Education, Gianna Masi to chat about his unique approach to coaching members towards success.

Ozempic, Wegovy and Weight Loss : Fact vs. Fiction with Dr. Tina Sadarangani Feb 15, 2023

Ozempic. Wegovy. Rybelsus. These brand names of the medication semaglutide (a GLP-1) have recently been having quite the moment in the spotlight. From social media influencers and celebrities to publications and news outlets, it seems everyone has been talking about this “miracle drug.” Following increased exposure and curiosity among the general population about semaglutide, there’s been an influx of non-science-backed headlines and misinformation spread across the internet. Any time a new medication enters the market, evidence-based education is crucial for consumers to understand what these medications can and cannot do.
Many people are searching for the elusive quick fix, but does it actually exist? What are the implications, and how do nutrition and lifestyle factors come into play? As part of our commitment to educating our community, we’re shedding light on this very relevant and timely topic in the latest episode of Stronger U Radio.
Manager of Nutrition Content and Innovation Gianna Masi, RD, sat down with NIH-funded principal investigator and board-certified primary care nurse practitioner Dr. Tina Sadarangani, Ph.D. to debunk the myths and set the record straight (based on fact, not fiction) around semaglutide and weight loss. Dr. Tina has an impressive background and brings a wealth of experience in the medical field. She’s also an assistant professor in the NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Department of Population Health. Her research program is underscored by a profound commitment to advancing the health of minoritized populations and targeting health disparities.
Tune into this evidence-based conversation for answers to many of the most common questions, such as:

What is semaglutide?
How does it work?
How can it help with weight loss?
Who is a candidate?
What are the pros and cons?
What are the common side effects?
How much does it cost?
What are some important considerations?
How can you support your long-term health in conjunction with these drugs?

Plus, Dr. Tina and Gianna chat about medication accessibility, the many factors that can contribute to weight gain, and why these medications are part of a broader toolbox.

Boundaries for Healthy Relationships with Special Guest Jordan Dann Feb 01, 2023

Nervous system dysregulation can cause many mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia, to name a few. During this episode of Stronger U Radio, Manager of Nutrition Education and Innovation Gianna Masi, RD sat down with Jordan Dann, licensed psychoanalyst, relationship coach, and author of Somatic Therapy for Healing Trauma. The two discuss how having an awareness of how our body holds information about our attachment needs from moment to moment (also known as somatic experience) can be helpful in bringing the body back to a state of balance and results in healthier relationships.
During their conversation, you’ll hear how boundaries play a role in navigating a relationship with a partner, family member or friend who is unsupportive of your nutritional and lifestyle changes, as well as the importance of differentiation in this scenario.
“So often people choose not to make a different choice that is in service of their better health because it’s going to create a relational disturbance. They’d rather be confluent than to differentiate and navigate the discomfort,” states Jordan.
She goes over some questions to ask yourself, such as:
“what’s uncomfortable for me about you not joining me?”
“What’s preventing me from being able to make those choices that I feel are best for myself even if you aren’t going to be on board.”
“What’s going to be required for me to differentiate enough to set up habits that are going to be good for me.”
Relational support is essential when moving into something new, so being able to lean on a coach and supportive community, such as we have at Stronger U, to help give us the internal strength to meet the dissatisfaction or discomfort of the people in our lives who want to challenge us, so we go back to the status quo.
Throughout this thought-provoking talk, Gianna and Jordan also discuss:

The definition of dysregulation and how emotional eating can be a result
Tips on identifying when you are dysregulated or triggered, beginning with the importance of being aware of how you feel.
How food, movement, and rest impact the nervous system regulation
Jordan’s own experience of how exercise and food affect her mood
