ep 137 Reboot Your System: How to Heal Trauma, Not Just Manage It
What if anxiety and chronic illness were glitches, not life sentences? Host Nicolette Richer talks with Dr. Don Wood, a psychologist who discovered the direct link between unresolved trauma and "incurable" disease while trying to save his daughter. He explains his revolutionary “glitch and reboot” method to reset the nervous system in just 4 hours, redefines addiction as a "code" for pain, and shares why safety is the #1 ingredient for healing. This is a powerful conversation about healing the mind to heal the body.Links & ResourcesGuest: Dr. Don WoodInspired Performance Institute: https://www.inspiredperformanceinstitute.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdonwood/Host: Nicolette Richer / Eat Real to HealFounding Partner Call: https://calendly.com/nicolettericher/founding-partner-intro-callEat Real to Heal Book: https://a.co/d/64wpSJ5Film: Grounded In My Roots: https://www.groundedinmyroots.com/Donate to Sea to Sky Thrivers: https://bit.ly/S2STSGreen Moustache Cafés: https://bit.ly/GMCafeWOnline Course: https://www.richerhealth.ca/eat-real-to-heal-courseDisclaimerRicher Health Consulting is a for-profit organization in British Columbia, Canada, dedicated to providing education on using daily metabolic nutrition and detoxification for the reversal of cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases.

EP 136: From Burnout to Breath – An Athlete's Healing Path with Yoga & Plants
When a lifelong competitive athlete and varsity basketball player suddenly couldn’t breathe, it wasn't a call to push harder—it was a call to stop. Nicolette Richer sits down with Emily Kane, owner of Yoga Cara in Whistler, who traded her “boot camp” mindset for a spiritual and restorative yoga practice after nine months of chronic bronchitis. They dive into why eliminating dairy cleared her lungs, how she built a thriving, heart-centered studio in a town of elite athletes, and why she believes yoga teachers could hold the key to reversing the chronic disease epidemic. This is a refreshing conversation about the courage to soften, the power of true nourishment, and making wellness accessible to every body—on and off the mat.Links & ResourcesFrom Emily Kane / Yoga Cara:* Website: www.YogaCaraWhistler.com (https://www.yogacarawhistler.com/)* Book: The Energy and Art of Restorative Yoga – Available on Amazon and at the studio.* Social Media: @yogacarawhistler (Instagram, Facebook)From Dr. Nicolette Richer / Eat Real to Heal:* Eat Real to Heal Online Course: www.richerhealth.ca/eat-real-to-heal-course (https://www.richerhealth.ca/eat-real-to-heal-course)* Book (New Edition): Eat Real to Heal – Available on Amazon* Film: Grounded in My Roots – www.groundedinmyroots.com (https://www.groundedinmyroots.com/)* Organic Cafés: The Green Moustache – Find a location: bit.ly/GMCafeW (https://bit.ly/GMCafeW)* Charity: Sea to Sky Thrivers – Donate to fund health education: bit.ly/S2STS (https://bit.ly/S2STS)* DisclaimerThe information provided in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

[…] And, you know, so that's my next plan because I think it's really this correlation that there's no, I've just seen it firsthand and now I've seen it in the research. Yeah, yeah, anxiety stress plays a big part in Crohn's disease, for sure. Yeah, and that's where yoga and breath work and meditation are so important, right? Because even if it minimizes it for a few minutes in the day, it has long lasting effects for hours and days after that yoga time. Yeah, it just calms you, right? It just brings you down and it calms you your state of mind. Yeah, so the other thing I was just listening to a podcast with this neuroscientist and they were saying as well that when we have these higher rates of cortisol, it contributes to a more weight gain around the middle.
