    [Ep. 339] Did This Woman Find The Cure For Chronic Pain? It's Not What You Think w/ Nicole Sachs

    Luis and Nicole Sachs dig into the depths of pain. She believes pain is caused by fear, and the meaning we assign to the pain, keeping the nervous system in fight or freeze. If we think something is wrong with us, a stress response results, because we become our own threat.  Nicole lived in her own cage of pain, fear and shame until she found Dr. Sarno’s work. He believes back pain is due to bottled up rage that is not societally acceptable. His work prompted Nicole to pause when the pain arose and ask herself if she was angry, and what was angering her. But she didn’t limit herself to anger. She played with it, and explored emotions. The pain dissipated with her practice. A reoccurrence of the pain in the early years of motherhood shook her to the core and led her to work with Dr. Sarno in person. In her journey she developed Journal Speak, built on Dr. Sarno’s foundation. Her formula is Journal Speak + science + the dissolution of shame = freedom. Tune in to hear more of her process and journey, plus how to start your own Journal Speak practice.

    [Ep. 338] How Nutrition Increases Your Capacity To Be Seen & Metabolize Stress

    Feeling anxious? Your body might need to down-regulate.  Feeling depressed? Your body might need to up-regulate.  This modulation of finding balance can be achieved in two ways, through a simple supportive practice Luis offers, and through food. Food affects our biology 24 hours a day. What we eat can activate us into a fight-or-flight response, effectively inducing stress. Or, we can consciously alchemize our food to support our body to be in a place of balance. No shame either way.  Eating to balance the nervous system helps the body build capacity to be seen. Luis recommends a snack practice to experiment with and see how your body responds.  Here are a few ways to learn more:  Luis's book Food Therapy, find it at your local bookstore, library, or as an audiobook: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-bookThe next six month Embodied Nutrition Slow Group, starting July 7 https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-nutrition-group You can register for August's Community Somatics here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/community-somatics You can register for the Embodied Parenting webinar here: https://hln.thinkific.com/courses/embodied-parenting-webinar You can also read more about, and register for, the 6 month program here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/parenting-group ---- You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigation Questions?

    [Ep. 337] How Blood Sugar Is Affecting Your Mental Health

    PSA: psychiatry does not have any case reports of diseases that are validated! This shortcoming of the DSM is why Luis dropped out of psychology and instead chose holistic psychology. As Luis sees it, behavior is not a fixed identity.  There is no biochemical data proving “mental disease”. What we can track is neurotransmitters, like seratonin. 50-90% of these are made in the gut. Cue nutrition. Food is a shortcut to influencing change in the brain’s biochemistry.  Carbs influence glucose, which plays an active role in our mood. If you would like to track your glucose consider getting a glucose monitor like hellolingo.com for two weeks to gather data. Notice what you eat, how you feel, your activities, and your mood, all relative to the continuous glucose monitor’s data. If you would like to see Luis’ hellolingo.com glucose charts, tune in to the YouTube video version of this podcast.   If you are curious about using nutrition to support your mental health, check out our 6 month Embodied Nutrition Slow group, starting July 7th 2026,: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-nutrition-group You can register for August's Community Somatics here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/community-somatics You can register for the Embodied Parenting webinar here: https://hln.thinkific.com/courses/embodied-parenting-webinar You can also read more about, and register for, the 6 month program here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/parenting-group ---- You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigation Questions?
