    How Changing Your Mindset Can Change Your Health (recap)

    How much do your thoughts and words actually influence your health and healing process?   Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, I’m diving into why your mindset plays such a huge role in your health and healing.    I see so many patients get stuck in negative thought cycles that seem impossible to break. The truth is, your brain can’t tell the difference between what’s happening in reality and what’s going on in your head. This means that you can actually transform your body just by changing the way you think. Positive energy is real! It has a genuine impact on your body. This goes for how you talk to yourself, and how others speak to you - whether it’s a friend, colleague, family member, or partner. Words hold a lot of power.    You can acknowledge what's going on with your health while still focusing on the small victories that keep you in a positive mindset. When you stay in that space, that’s when real change happens.    In Today’s Episode We Discuss  ·        The Power of Mindset in Healing ·        Understanding the Law of Attraction ·        The Brain's Role in Perception ·        Impact of Words on the Body ·        Practical Steps to Shift Your Mindset ·        Recognizing and Celebrating Progress Remember to take it one step at a time—celebrate your progress, however small, and be mindful of the words you use both with yourself and others. You have more control over your health than you might realize, and every positive thought brings you closer to healing.    Where We Can Connect  Listen on Your Favorite Podcast Platform Follow the Podcast Watch & Subscribe on YouTube Follow Me on Instagram Connect With Me on Facebook  Follow & Review On Apple Podcasts Are you following the podcast?

    How To Balance Your Hormones by Adjusting Your Exercise Routine (Recap)

    Have you ever considered that your exercise routine might be doing more harm than good for your hormonal health?   Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, I’m talking about the complex relationship between exercise and hormonal health, with a particular focus on female hormones.    We’ll look at the impacts of different types of exercise on the thyroid, adrenal glands, and sex hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone and how both over-exercising and under-exercising can disrupt hormone balance, leading to issues such as PMS, weight gain, and stress-related symptoms.    I will also offer practical insights on how to tailor exercise routines to support hormonal health and emphasize the importance of relaxation practices, especially during stressful periods.  In Today’s Episode We Discuss  ·        Understanding Hormones and Their Functions ·        The Female Hormone Cycle Explained ·        Thyroid and Adrenal Hormones ·        Impact of Exercise on Hormones ·        Exercise and Adrenal Fatigue ·        Balancing Exercise with Hormonal Health ·        Managing Stress and Exercise ·        Tips for a Healthy Exercise Routine If you’re feeling out of sync, pay attention to what your body is telling you. Rest and relaxation are just as important as movement, and sometimes, less is more when it comes to exercise, especially if you’re dealing with hormonal imbalances like PMS, weight gain, or stress.    Where We Can Connect  Listen on Your Favorite Podcast Platform Follow the Podcast Watch & Subscribe on YouTube Follow Me on Instagram Connect With Me on Facebook  Follow & Review On Apple Podcasts Are you following the podcast?

    Adrenal Fatigue: What Happens When You Burn Yourself Out (recap)

    Why do you still feel drained, even after a full night's sleep? Could it be 'Cortisol Debt'?   Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, we’re exploring the critical role that rest plays in healing, with a particular focus on adrenal fatigue and burnout. I like to explain cortisol as the body’s 'currency.' Much like financial budgeting, rest helps us 'earn' energy, while our daily activities and stress 'spend' it.    When we don't get enough rest, we end up in what I call 'cortisol debt,' and that’s when symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and even skin issues start to appear. I really want to emphasize how important it is to incorporate restorative practices like meditation and acupuncture into your routine. These practices help the body recover and manage stress more effectively.    Throughout the episode, I’ll also be breaking down the body’s stress response and explaining exactly how prolonged stress leads to adrenal fatigue. My hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll feel inspired to prioritize relaxation and rethink some of your habits to reduce stress in your life. In Today’s Episode We Discuss  ·        Understanding Cortisol and Energy ·        The Concept of Cortisol Debt ·        Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue ·        The Importance of Rest and Meditation ·        The Stress Response Explained ·        Long-term effects of Chronic Stress ·        Rebalancing Your Body's Energy It’s important to remember your energy is like currency, and by incorporating more rest, meditation, and even acupuncture, you can help your body stay balanced and strong. As you move forward, my advice is to listen to your body. Prioritize relaxation, give yourself permission to rest, and make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine.  Where We Can Connect  Listen on Your Favorite Podcast Platform Follow the Podcast Watch & Subscribe on YouTube Follow Me on Instagram Connect With Me on Facebook  Follow & Review On Apple Podcasts Are you following the podcast?
