Is it possible that depression, anxiety and chronic pain is passed down through your family's generations?Depression, anxiety, chronic pain, phobias, obsessive thoughts... these issues plague millions of people every day.
Is it you? Or, could there be another reason you're suffering?
The evidence is compelling. The roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains, but rather in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents.
The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited: that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations.
Mark Wolynn, Director of The Family Constellation Institute, is an expert in inherited family trauma.
He joins Andrea and Lisa to explain what inherited family trauma is, how it can affect people in various ways, and how you can break the destructive pattern via mindfulness, meditation, and visualization.

Butter lover? Try these healthy alternatives.When Cygnia Rapp was being placed on a restrictive diet (no wheat, red meat, hard cheese, butter, peanut butter, and more) that severely limited her intake of fats and oils, it quickly took the joy out of eating.
As a person who loved food and cooking, Cygnia decided to fight back. Working out of her kitchen, she set out to create organic alternatives that would not only meet her health requirements but also satisfy her taste buds. She tirelessly researched fats and oils, uncovering a wealth of little-known information about healthier fats and oils and their influence on health and well-being.
After months of experimentation, Cygnia developed the recipe for MELT Organic based on two critical organic oils, virgin coconut oil and flaxseed oil, that supported her digestive wellness and overall health.
MELT Organic CEO, Meg Carlson, joins hosts Andrea and Lisa to share more about the company and its products.

Is it possible to cure your body of Lyme disease... and to do so without any side effects?Each year, approximately 30,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported to CDC by state health departments and the District of Columbia.
However, this number does not reflect every case of Lyme disease that is diagnosed in the United States every year.
Many people are suffering and don't even know they may have the disease. Symptoms aren't always definitive, but if you're experiencing unexplained rashes, flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, fatigue, body aches and headache), neurological problems, joint pain, and severe fatigue, you might have Lyme.
Is it possible to cure your body of the disease... and to do so without any side effects?
That is precisely what Dr. Cass Ingram achieved after contracting a potentially deadly case of this disease.
With Dr. Ingram's natural medicine protocols, there is no way for the pathogen to hide. Lyme can be cured.
Dr. Ingram joins Andrea and Lisa to share his own experience with Lyme and explain the specific natural ingredients that can be used to both prevent Lyme from occurring and cure it should you contract the disease.

OYoga, created by Psalm Isadora (tantra, sex and relationships expert), is a fun and super effective combination of yoga, belly dance and burlesque to help women unlock their own inner sex goddess and unleash their full sexual potential.

The skin around the vaginal area is very sensitive, so it's important to use vaginal care products that don't contain harsh ingredients.Women age differently than men.
As estrogen levels decline, so does natural lubrication. Many women experience this prior to or during menopause, but it can impact a woman at any age.
Diminished estrogen can lead to external and internal vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy, resulting in undernourished, under-hydrated, aged skin that leads many women to experience daily personal discomfort, diminished interest in intimacy and a lack of sexual spontaneity.
The skin around the vaginal area is very sensitive, so it's important to use vaginal care products that don't contain harsh ingredients. Skin care designed for the face or body can cause irritation and discomfort when applied to the delicate skin of the vaginal area.
Dr. Ronald Blatt has been an expert in the field of women's health for over 30 years. Board-certified gynecologist, expert surgeon and compassionate physician, Dr. Blatt's driving imperative is to treat matters of vaginal health and intimate skin care with knowledge, awareness and respect.
His product line, PrivateRx, provides hydrating vaginal cream products that safely and effectively hydrate the dry, flaky, estrogen-deprived skin often associated with menopause.
Dr. Blatt joins host Lisa Davis to discuss why it's important to pay attention to your vaginal health, as well as important considerations for doing so.

Discover the power of the moon in helping you heal.Shelly Burton, founder of the Samhara System of Energy Medicine™, holds the philosophy of involution, which is evolution from the inside out.
This principle allowed her to heal a serious concussion, which had left her debilitated and extremely sensitive to emotions, over an eight-year trek. The journey led to a grounding in what it takes to heal yourself in mind, body and soul. From this, a practice supporting others to do the same, over time, was birthed.
One of the healing modalities Shelly uses is that of full moon holistic healing, through her foundation, Rhythm of Change™ (ROC).
ROC hosts a series of rhythmical gatherings, which are designed to align you to the soul imprint of your work here, on this plane.
The mediums used in the events are ceremonial and tribal drumming, an ancient form of healing dance, hands on healing, transmission of ancient wisdom and sound, and meditative earth music. These gatherings typically align with moon cycles, so that you are deepening your alignment to the flow of the current of the tides that move us at a planetary and cellular level.
Shelly joins host Lisa Davis to explain more about what she does as an energy healer, as well as how you can shift your energy to a more positive, productive space.

Cancer Couch Foundation: Preventing and Curing Breast Cancer Through Self-Care Jun 15, 2016

How can you cope when prematurely faced with mortality?When diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2015, Rebecca Timlin-Scalera, PhD, neuropsychologist and mother of two, was completely blindsided.
Initially diagnosed with Stage II, she was later told her cancer was Stage IV metastatic, the most deadly form of the disease, and it had spread to other parts of the body. Later, a bone biopsy revealed normal tissue, and she was upgraded to Stage IIIC, the closest someone can be to the most advanced form of this type of cancer.
In a matter of weeks, Timlin-Scalera went through the emotional and informational roller coaster of experiencing nearly every stage of breast cancer before beginning treatment. Even as a neuropsychologist specializing in trauma therapy, she received an eye-opening crash course into the world of breast cancer research, treatments and communities.
Her research found that metastatic breast cancer (MBC) research receives only seven percent of federal funding for breast cancer research even though 30 percent of people diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, eventually develop MBC. The average prognosis for patients with MBC is two to three years. In 2016, there are an estimated 2.8 million women living with a history of female breast cancer in the United States.
Shortly after her diagnosis, Timlin-Scalera began writing about her experiences through her professional lens as a neuropsychologist. Using her expertise on both sides of the psychological couch, she created her popular The Cancer Couch blog as an exploration of what it means to cope when prematurely faced with mortality. Her insights have struck a chord with cancer patients, family members, friends and even those who have had no direct experience with this disease. Her writing style gracefully balances humor and pathos, which she hopes will help not only herself, but others in similar situations, to see beauty in the ordinary and appreciate everyday life with or without cancer.
Having looked the beast in the face, Timlin-Scalera resolved to take a stand to help prevent and cure breast cancer by creating The Cancer Couch Foundation (501c3). The financially transparent, volunteer-managed foundation will put donations to work directly for patients with MBC. The foundation’s goal is to fund research for advancements in metastatic breast cancer in the hopes of making this a chronic but manageable disease, not a terminal illness.
Timlin-Scalera joins host Lisa Davis to share her own journey through cancer, as well as how she's helping patients and their loved ones understand the reality of the disease.
