We drink alcohol to escape our reality.
We use drugs to escape our reality.
I explore the trauma and mental health problems that are the reasons for that need to escape.
In this podcast, I interview guests that have gone through hell and back but kept going. In turn, they have transformed into human beings who love themselves, warts and all. Let me share with you how we manage to live a life that most of us could not even dream of in the midst of our trauma.
The past does not equal the future. Every second gives you a new opportunity for change, and only you determine the right direction in your life.

    440 Linn Rivers: Uncover The Root Causes Of Mental Illness & Chronic Health Conditions

    440 Linn Rivers: Uncover The Root Causes Of Mental Illness & Chronic Health Conditions

    Linn Rivers is a functional health and wellness expert and educator. She teaches people all over the world how to take their health—mind, body, and spirit — into their own hands.
    She has over 15 years of education in the holistic health field and assists people in overcoming chronic health conditions and mental disorders.Her educational background includes Holistic/Functional Medicine, Microbiome Therapy, Spiritual Counseling, Eastern and Western Massage Therapy, Neurolinguistic Programming, Yoga Therapy, Life Coaching, Death Doula, Hypnosis, and Human Design Analysis.While her educational background is impressive, her own journey really sets her apart. She is able to connect with people on a wide range of traumatic events that she had to overcome by herself, such as: the death of all family members and partner, abandonment, neglect, sexuality, growing up with an alcoholic, relationship trauma, homelessness, career challenges, lack of direction, feelings of hopelessness, identity, anger and fear, addiction, illness, and near-death experiences.
    I am immensely passionate about helping people uncover the root cause of mental illness and chronic health conditions. It has been through my own drawn out healing process, research, education and clients that I have deeply understood the connection to food and our mental health, yet I take it so much deeper than anyone is currently going. For example, did you know that Salicylates in plants ( a neurotoxin) is directly linked to Autism, depression, agression, tinnitus and many other health conditions if you do not have a healthy microbiome to properly eliminate them from the body? There is so much more to this and so much more about why we are not well in this day and age. I was depressed the majority of my teens and 20's and did not want to be here for a long time. I was an aggressive child and it carried on until I was an adult and started uncovering the truth about it all. Did you also know that there is a specific bacteria in the gut that can cross the gut/brain barrier that triggers alcoholism? So many things. I am an ope book and happy to talk about anything including my own journey to healing
