Dr. Body Mind Soul Jude Galea

What is CFS School? In today’s episode, Jennifer Mann shares with us her own healing journey with CFS and how she is now using that journey to help others. Jenn is the co-founder of CFS school, which is a school focused on the mind-body connection to help people heal from chronic pain, fatigue, long covid, POTTS, and fibromyalgia conditions that, there are no good solutions for within the medical system.

Jenn was training to be a physiotherapist herself when she became bedbound with all sorts of ‘unexplained’ symptoms. She was told this was her new reality by medical specialists and colleagues. It was then she took matters into her own hands.

It was on her own healing journey she found what connected her symptoms, and indeed held the key to a full recovery. For Jenn, that was recognizing and working with the nervous system. She has now developed a 12-week program that has gone on to help hundreds if not thousands of people with mind-body health conditions.

Listen in as Jenn and I talk about her battle with chronic illness, her healing journey, and how she can help others heal through the mind-body connection. Jenn takes us on a deep dive into the mind-body connection and chronic illness, you won’t want to miss out!

How do you feel or view death and grief? Today, I am lucky to be joined by Christina Watson, who shares her perspective on death and grief. Christina wears many hats. She is a creative facilitator and worked in the charity sector. But I have brought her onto this podcast to talk about death because Christina wants to disrupt the way we relate to death as a society. She is creating purposeful peer groups known as huddles because she believes that our learning does not have to be limited to institutions and curriculum written by someone else. We can learn in creative ways in the community, especially when dealing with this theme.

Christina first experienced death and grief at a young age, when she lost her Mom, and that loss helped shaped her view on death. She recognized how difficult it was for her to share or express her grief with others because of the uncomfortableness others displayed about her grief. This loss has birthed a deep curiosity about how society views and handles death and grief and how we can get reconnected to this part of life. Christina believes death is an opening to notice more widely the things we love and find the joy we do have in our lives.

Listen in as Christina and I explore with curiosity the disconnect between death and grief, how Christina is disrupting the status quo on grief and death processing, and how she sees death as a great connector to the things we truly love.

Today I am joined by Dr. Stephanie El Chakieh, a clinical pharmacist turned spiritual scientist, using her biochemical and pharmaceutical training to dive deep into the research to find natural ways to heal disease. She has been guided by her own personal story, and is now an author and TEDx speaker, sharing her truth to enable health independence for all.

Through both personal and professional experience, Dr. Stephanie felt the desire to find alternative ways to think about our bodies and our healthcare systems. Part of her research has led her down a spiritual path toward an awakening that she wants to share with the world. Dr. Stephanie’s goal is to give people the option and voice to choose their best healthcare practices.

Have you ever experienced an anxiety or panic attack? Then this episode is for you. Today I am joined by Sophie Neve, who is a free-spirited, tarot-slinging Hypnotherapist from East Yorkshire, specializing in treating anxiety with hypnosis. She believes our emotions from the past become trapped in our bodies, minds, and soul. We can literally re-program our thoughts and re-wire our brains with the help of hypnotherapy.

Often when people come into A & E with panic attack symptoms, they are told nothing is wrong with them physically, so they are turned away. Sophie is bringing awareness to the power of Hypnosis in treating and managing those anxiety or panic attacks.

Join Sophie and I as we discuss what hypnotherapy is, how it can help with your anxiety, and some tips and trick you can use in the moment of a panic attack.

Today I am excited to be joined by Dr. Nic Stokes. Nic is a bit of a newfound kindred spirit. She is an Anaesthetic doctor working in London - who, like me - has started to deeply question the current disconnected, disembodied, disempowering western approach and her role within it.

Nicola is an anesthetic and intensive care doctor who has worked in the NHS for the last 8 years. Her early career has involved working in the field of global health, having worked in refugee camps in Greece, Uganda, and Bangladesh. This interest led her to start a radio show on London's SohoRadio 4 years ago called Global Health Global Beats, which intersperses music from around the world with conversations in healthcare.

She is now interested in how we give people the tools to be well and offload the healthcare systems. She has recently become a breathwork instructor and strongly believes that community saunas and breathwork are key components to improving people's health.

Join Dr. Nic and I as we talk about how Nic has come to view the Western Medical System and the challenges of challenging that system. This is a thoughtful and connecting conversation you won’t want to miss out on!

Do you believe you can find the answers to your health questions and get well? Today I am excited to introduce you to Sandy Cowen. Sandy is the author of 4 books on the connection between the body, mind, and soul of “getting well”.

After developing several auto-immune diseases in her late 30s, Sandy needed to make significant changes in her life to heal herself. Through her healing journey, she has sought out holistic forms of healing and has published her books on the mind-body-spirit connection of healing.

Listen in as Sandy and I discuss how the body-mind-soul approach impacted Sandy’s health, and how you can use that approach to strengthen and heal our immune system. Sandy gives us practical ways to use a holistic approach to our healing. She truly believes we can get well!
