    EP 16: All Bodies Rock: Breaking Free from Disordered Eating | Christie Dondero Bettwy

    Disordered eating impacts millions of Americans, yet so many people face it in silence. If you’re struggling, you are not alone. In this episode, Dr. Julie Lopez sits down with Christie Dondero Bettwy, Executive Director of Rock Recovery, to talk about her personal journey of disordered eating recovery and her work making treatment more accessible. Together, they explore how cultural messages about food and bodies fuel shame, why so many people feel “not sick enough” to seek help, and what it takes to begin moving toward healing. This conversation invites you to rethink the stories you’ve been told about bodies, worth, and food, and to imagine the possibility of making peace with your body, exactly as it is today.   Learn more about Rock Recovery - https://www.rockrecoveryed.org/  Learn More about Dr. Julie’s Work: https://drjulielopez.com/  Learn More about The Viva Center: https://www.vivapartnership.com/

    EP 15: The Psychedelic Power of Breathwork | Mark Worster

    Psychedelics and breathwork may seem like very different paths to healing, but what if the breath alone could unlock the same powerful states of awareness? In this episode, Dr. Julie Lopez speaks with Mark Worster, a psychiatric nurse, entrepreneur, and trauma survivor, about how deep breathwork can be a psychedelic experience without substances. Together, they explore non-ordinary states of consciousness, shadow work, and how accessing the subconscious through the body can lead to profound healing and joy. If you’ve ever been curious about meditation, breathwork, holotropic breathwork, psychedelics, or wondered how to go beyond symptom relief to real transformation through non-chemical methods, this conversation is for you.

    In this deeply honest conversation, Dr. Julie Lopez sits down with author, filmmaker, and advocate Zara Phillips to explore how co-dependency and hyperfixation act as survival mechanisms that can spiral into addictive patterns.   They unpack why we overthink, people-please, or fixate compulsively when safety feels uncertain, and reveal the two key components Zara credits with sustaining lasting recovery.    From Zara's groundbreaking advocacy work demanding government apologies for forced adoption practices to her personal insights on breaking free from people-pleasing, this episode offers both validation and practical tools for healing.   Whether you're adopted, in foster care, or simply recognize patterns of abandonment and codependency in your own life, this conversation provides a roadmap for reclaiming authenticity and finding peace.   LEARN MORE ABOUT ZARA PHILLIPS: www.zaraphillips.net CONNECT WITH JULIE: https://drjulielopez.com/  CONNECT WITH THE VIVA CENTER: https://www.vivapartnership.com/

    EP 12: How to Rewire Your Gut-Brain Connection | Dr. Ali Navidi

    Disorders of the gut aren’t just digestive issues; they’re often signals from your nervous system. If you’ve been struggling with gut issues, anxiety, or chronic discomfort that doctors can’t explain, this episode is for you. Dr. Ali Navidi, licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of GI Psychology, breaks down the science and psychology of the gut-brain connection. He explains how trauma, stress, and emotional survival patterns can disrupt digestion and how nervous system regulation and therapy can help restore balance. We also explore the deep connection between gut health and mental health, and why treating one without addressing the other often leaves people stuck. Whether you're living with IBS or another GI disorder and carrying the emotional toll of feeling unheard, this conversation offers insights and hope.   CONNECT WITH DR.
