Bleep Bulimia LaurieAnn Campbell

This is an incredibly interesting Podcast with Elwin Robinson.  I have always been fascinated with genetics and DNA.   When Elwin reached out to me to be a guest, I was intrigued.  I know many of us are also intrigued by AI and that is to make notes for us on a Podcast and pick out the important parts of our conversation. 

In fact, ZOOM has that and it decided to pop in to visit as a guest.  I found that intrusive because I want to note my experience personally with my guests.

This, like all my episodes, is special, but particularly special because I always wondered about the genetics and the DNA possibilities of why I was bulimic, and Elwin speaks to this.

A passionate person who also expands on the possibilities of looking into your DNA having a greater role than just what you may get from 23andMe, one that can provide a report on your present and possible future health issues, and greater yet, if I heard properly, provide you with suggestions on how to eliminate or control the future health issues.

Fascinating.

To reach Elwin, he suggests visiting YouTube and finding him by simply searching Elwin Robinson.  Yet, furthermore, you can visit his website www.geneticinsights.co.

He is also offering a discount if you use the promo code BLEEPBULIMIA, all upper case and no space.

I was so excited to have Andrea on my Podcast as a guest and I know now why.  I knew that the content would be of value to my listeners.  All my guests share valuable information, but in this case, the EMDR aspect fascinated me.

Andrea is very knowledgeable on so many subjects that can be connected to our recovery from bulimia and eating disorders, with one being learning how to deal with emotions.  I love how this connects to the previous episode with Brady and Ana and what we spoke about.

My favourite line?  Trauma has to do with too much too soon, or too little too long.   I saw and heard that line.    Also, I loved the conversation about emotional dysregulation.

For those of you who have reached out to me on Messenger, I hope that my Podcast guests help you.  Reach out to the person you engage with here.

Andrea, thank you.  This was truly a great learning experience. 

Andrea also speaks to her 90-day journal Plan To Recover which will be partnered with The Road Less Travelled coming soon.

Wonderful episode about how Ana shares her story of bulimia recovery.  Brady was previously on my Podcast speaking to dog training and how it relates to humans training their mindset for both themselves and their furry family.

Ana is candid and speaks very much about how a bulimic feels through the journey of bulimia and recovery.  Brady introduced his partner, encouraged her to tell her story, and asked some very pointed questions as a partner to someone who had struggled with the disorder.

I truly appreciate this couple.  Lovely story about how they met as well.


More About Ana:

What we didn't get into, and I hope Ana will return as a guest once again to give us more information, is how Reiki changed her life.  She did speak to the spirituality part of her journey to recovery as well as OA (Overeaters Anonymous), but there was another part to this, and it inspired her to start her own business to help others heal through this method.  Keep posted for where to find her on Social Media. :)

Very interesting conversation with Ben Oofana.  Healer.  He has been in practice for 35 years.  We chatted about bulimia and his three most powerful interactions.  Deep tissue massage, acupuncture, and floatation tanks.

Ben speaks about his own trauma and how he helps others with their own.    He speaks to numbing and avoiding.

I did bring up the fact that being an adult with bulimia and being in mid-life bulimia.  This is different than working with children.

Ben responded that even if he has limited information of the individual, he does admit many incidences, but his clients don't divulge all he needs to know to heal.

Typical of bulimics.

Ben states he will take his hands and scan the person.  And he says he then feels in person how they hurt emotionally.

Accessing emotions and working with emotions is important.  And getting connected to their physical bodies is important to overcome the emotional triggers.

Best line.  Digest your emotions.  Learn through how to do that in a healthy manner.

More about Ben:

After a succession of destructive relationships in his
mid-twenties, Ben realized that he was reenacting the
traumas of his childhood and adolescence. Being very
intuitive, he began to develop an entire series of
intensive meditation practices to facilitate the
awakening of the innate healing intelligence residing
within the body and mind.
Ben began to explore a wide range of therapeutic
interventions and soon thereafter returned to the
ancient practices he had learned while training with
Horace Daukei, a traditional Native American doctor
(medicine man) from the Kiowa Tribe. Ben later went
on to train with Chinese Master Sifu Li Tai Liang. He
has incorporated these practices that have their roots
in the ancient Taoist lineages.

A very open and honest discussion.  Jordan is a Flooring Contractor.  Along with this, he is also a Mindset, Fitness, and Nutrition Coach.  The latter was inspired by his upbringing and the tragedy he witnessed.  

Jordan's parents divorced and after the break up his mother spiraled downwards.  Along with becoming addicted to meth, she also had bulimia, something Jordan shares with us about his experience.

Jordan himself struggled with what mirrors anorexia, where he would not eat and dropped down to 140 lbs from 180.  

He realized he had to make a change, and so, the mindset, fitness, and nutrition coaching, helping others overcome difficulties they have experienced and witnessed.

You can find Jordan on Instagram @one.contract.flooring.1

What a lovely and inspiring interview with Brady Foulk.  And how fun that this is episode 101.  Reminded me of the 101 Dalmations.  How would Brady train all 101?  A question for the next time I have him on my Podcast.   

At first, I was wondering, when he reached out to me, how this would relate to my Podcast.  He was clear on how it would.  And it does.

Fun pre-intro when I asked how he wanted to be introduced.  He said his last name is said "folk" like folks.  I told him I think I can say that fine.  Even with my lisp.  And or I could say he was Brady, like the "Brady Bunch".  Wanted to hug him right there.  My kind of humour.

I have always had dogs.  And my dogs have been part of the reason I recovered.  My sister's unconditional love for me also made me realize dogs give you that too and what would my dogs do if I were to leave them?

Brady shares his own story of how he had to retrain his own thinking and lifestyle and explains the three different ways we can deal with issues.  Ignore, manage or make it sustainable.

Brady and I chatted after the interview and it was interesting that he asked me what were my questions while I was eating after I recovered.  He asked that because I told him when I was eating at family gatherings when I was bulimic, would I find a way to get rid of the food?  Today it's not really asking any questions.  It's enjoying the food and the company.  So there are no mental thoughts of what I will have to do, other than the dishes. :)  Great question though.

Brady shares many intuitive thoughts and is very engaging.  And his dogs Bumble Bee and Curiosity are so adorable!  Check them out on Social Media!
