The Wellness Revolution Podcast with Amber Shaw Operation Podcast

In today’s episode, I talk with Chris Rackliffe, an expert on attachment theory and healing from anxious attachment. Chris shares his own powerful story of overcoming trauma and learning to regulate his nervous system through practices like cold therapy and emotional diversification.
We discuss that anxious attachment requires more than just cognitive approaches like talk therapy. To truly heal, you must learn to regulate your nervous system and build tolerance for stress. This involves taking care of your foundational needs, like sleep, nutrition, and hydration, as well as practicing techniques like cold exposure and breathwork. 
Chris Rackliffe is a trauma healer, mental health advocate, anxious attachment style coach, and author of the self-help book, It’s Good to See Me Again: How to Find Your Way When You Feel Lost—an illuminating guidebook on the journey to find emotional healing.

Did you know that 7 out of 10 people in America are somewhere on the "diabetic spectrum"? Type 2 diabetes has become a costly pandemic, affecting millions. But there's good news - in most cases, it's reversible.
 
In today’s episode of the Wellness Revolution, I sit down with health expert Eric Edmeades who shares surprising insights on the true drivers behind skyrocketing diabetes rates. He exposes how the profit motives of big food and pharma have contributed to the epidemic. Edmeades also reveals a startling comparison of how many periods the average woman has today versus living naturally. While being overweight increases diabetes risk, you don't have to be obese to develop type 2 diabetes. The condition can impact anyone with metabolic imbalances.
 
Edmeades' new book "Post-Diabetic" offers a proven 9-week plan to prevent, reverse, and remain free of this devastating disease. Tune in today to learn actionable strategies to reclaim your health.
 
Eric Edmeades is an internationally recognized keynote speaker, author, and serial entrepreneur. Beyond sharing the stage with thought leaders such as Tony Robbins, Sir Richard Branson, and former President Bill Clinton, Eric has devoted himself to creating wildly transformational programs.

Do you feel like you’re stuck on the hamster wheel of hustle culture, unable to find inner rest as a high achiever or hard-working mom? Today’s special guest has the insights you need to find rest, balance, and success without burning out.
Tune in to this episode of The Wellness Revolution to hear from Caleb Campbell. Once known as “America’s Athlete”, Caleb is a West Point graduate and former Army officer who became the second player in the history of West Point to ever be selected in the NFL draft and the first player, under a new policy implemented by the Department of Defense (DOD), to be given permission to play and serve simultaneously.
Caleb’s dream came to a halt when the DOD rescinded that policy hours before signing his first NFL contract – launching him into his own internal war that would almost cost him his life. While serving his country, Caleb kept his NFL dream alive and eventually found himself playing in the NFL – proving how facing our fears, committing to mental and emotional health and staying authentic will make us stronger — even in our weakest moments.
Join us for a deep discussion about what it looks like to find inner rest, expand your capacity for life, and overcome hustle culture and still be successful.
“It’s like a dance that never ends and it’s a dance that we never necessarily master. It’s not about mastering it, it’s about learning how to respond to the moments when you are dancing out of sync with more compassion, more gentleness, with more love, so that you can pull yourself back into the divine dance that’s happening all around us.” – Caleb Campbell
As Caleb says, doing more isn’t always the answer. Listen in to learn more!
Key Highlights:
How to shift from survival mode to fully participating in life The critical difference between healthy and unhealthy self-criticism What it looks like to find inner rest as a high achiever The key to overcoming hustle culture and still find success What to do when you hit your goals and you still don’t feel it’s enough How to expand your capacity for life without burning out What it means to grow your business and reach your goals from a place of rest The moment I realized I needed a divorce Episode Resources:

If you’re going through something intense right now, you’re not alone. Our society is going through a major shift right now and it’s up to each of us to lean into the transformation that’s knocking at our door.
Today on The Wellness Revolution, I’m joined by the wonderful Dr. Karin Luise, a Transformational Therapist, Divorce & Trauma Expert, and Award-Winning Author who has a powerful message to share with you.
After two divorces, three children, and one PhD, Dr. Karin experienced a spiritual awakening that transformed her life from miserable to magical. She learned how to heal her mind, heart, and soul and expand her life with wild freedom and real happiness. Now, she’s helping others do the same.
This is one of the most raw, honest, soul-bearing conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. Dr. Karin and I dive deep into the emotional impacts of divorce that no one talks about so we can normalize them and heal collectively. While sharing our truths, we discuss ways to process your emotions and thrive after divorce (or any difficult/traumatic experience).
“Many people need to hear this: If something is coming up with your family, with your partner, with your children, it is because it is ready to be seen and ready to be healed and it’s ready to be transformed.” – Dr. Karin Luise
Remember ladies, your intuition is your super power. You’ll know in your spirit if something isn’t aligned with you… you just have to tap in and listen.
Key Highlights:
The collective shift our society is going through & How it’s influencing us Our raw, honest feelings about divorce How Dr. Karin’s divorces fueled a spiritual awakening The biggest sign your relationship is out of alignment How do you tap into your intuition and follow your inner voice? Limiting beliefs you need to let go of to have vulnerable conversations How to know you’re falling into the victim mentality & How to regain control of your life The 1st step to processing intense emotions or a difficult experience The key to getting what you want in life How to recover from break ups or divorce and walk away stronger and more empowered Episode Resources:

Every time you deny a craving, you’re feeding a future binge moment. Let that sink in, then tune in to learn how to defeat cravings so you can achieve the sustainable weight loss you’re striving for.
In today’s Wellness Revolution episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Glenn Livingston, a veteran psychologist who’s here to teach us how to defeat cravings with an alternative approach he calls “the backdoor to weight loss”. Intriguing, right?
After struggling for years with overeating and obesity, Dr. Livingston spent decades researching the nature of binging and overeating via work with his own patients and a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Eventually, he and his patients were able to break out of food prison, reach a healthy weight, and develop a much more lighthearted relationship with food.
If you’re struggling to avoid your cravings, eat in a balanced way, and achieve a healthy weight, this episode is for YOU!
 “Mindful eating is a big part of recovery. However, when there are chemicals in the packaging for some of these foods that interfere with your ability to know when you’re hungry and full… we need some additional tools to make it work.” – Dr. Glenn Livingston
Key Highlights:
Why people have cravings, overeat, stress eat, and binge eat The psychology behind sustainable weight loss, restrictive diets, and cravings Glenn’s rules-based approach to overcoming cravings What happens to your body when you overeat sugar every day Tips for preventing binge eating/overindulging on the weekends  Episode Resources:
