    When Your Body Attacks Itself: Understanding the Hidden Link Between Emotions, Hormones, and Autoimmunity

    Send us a text This brief podcast is assisted with AI technology.  Pllease read the blog with this podcast here: Your body may not be attacking you at random—it might be repeating a story it learned when safety felt scarce. We explore how the heart’s unhealed wounds can echo through the thymus and immune system, why women in midlife see autoimmune symptoms rise, and how hormone shifts turn emotional strain into inflammation.  Drawing a clear line between emotion, endocrine signaling, and immune behavior, we translate a complex web—estrogen, cortisol, insulin, thyroid hormones—into grounded steps you can use right away.We walk through the “hormone triad” we see in autoimmune patterns: adrenal stress muddling immune tolerance, blood sugar swings fueling cytokines, and thyroid slowdowns when the throat center is chronically silenced. From Hashimoto’s to mixed inflammatory symptoms, the throughline is a body trying to protect you with outdated rules. ACE research backs the connection: when early life taught your system that the world is unsafe, the thymus remembers. That memory can look like hypervigilance, flares, and exhaustion—until you provide a new experience of safety.Healing starts with presence over perfection. We share practical tools to regulate the nervous system (paced breathing, grounding, gentle movement), reopen the heart through self-compassion and grief work, and stabilize the basics that move labs: protein-forward meals, fiber-rich carbs, steady meal timing, mineral support for thyroid health, and honest communication to unfreeze the throat. Energy practices help soften emotional armor so the immune system no longer needs to shout. If autoimmunity is the body saying “please stop abandoning me,” then your daily acts of care are the answer it has waited for.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review telling us the one practice you’ll try this week. Your story could be the lifeline someone else is searching for.

    How The Thymus Shapes Immunity, Hormones, And Healing

    Send us a text What if your immune system could learn to stand down the moment your heart felt safe? We dive into the quiet power of the thymus—nestled behind your breastbone and aligned with the heart chakra—and unpack how this small organ teaches T cells what to attack and what to leave alone. When heartbreak, loss, or chronic stress hits, that lesson blurs, and the body can slip into hypervigilance, shallow breathing, and autoimmune flares. We connect the dots between emotional memory, the heart’s intrinsic nervous system, and the flare patterns many women see during perimenopause and menopause. Together, we map why adverse childhood experiences train the body to scan for danger and how that pattern can carry into adult relationships and hormone balance. You’ll hear how the heart’s “memory” shows up physiologically, why modern medicine rarely targets the thymus directly, and where complementary practices can fill the gap. We talk candidly about autoimmunity—lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, IBD—and why symptoms often intensify during times of grief or reminders of past harm. Then we get practical. You’ll learn step-by-step, accessible tools to bring your immune system back toward tolerance: gentle thymus tapping with safety-centered affirmations, heart-focused breathing to lengthen the exhale and engage vagal tone, and simple Reiki-style hand placement to soothe the chest and upper back. We also share compassion journaling prompts that shift the nervous system from self-surveillance to self-support. For women navigating midlife, we outline how shifting hormones interact with stress and why restoring heart-centered safety can reduce flare risk.

    Ending Chronic Pain With Energy Healing-Interview with Mike Sententia

    Send us a text What if pain relief didn’t care what you believe? We sit down with healer and researcher Mike Sententia, founder of Healing Lab and author of Arthritis: Natural Healing and Prevention, to explore a tissue-specific approach to energy healing that targets cartilage, inflamed bursae, and hypersensitive nerves.  Mike is generously offering a 10% Discount if you mention Art of Healing Podcast when you book  your session: Book Your Session at Healing Lab (mention Art of Healing Podcast for your 10% Discount) Connect with Mike on Instagram: Healing Lab on Instagram Connect with Mike on Facebook: Healing Lab on Facebook Instead of a universal “one energy fits all” modality, Mike designs distinct energetic signatures for each tissue involved in chronic pain, aiming for stronger, longer-lasting relief—and he backs it up with a money-back guarantee so results do the talking. Learn more about Mike on his YouTube Channel: Healing Lab on YouTube Mike traces his path from early experiments to a breakthrough with chronic hives, where combining knowledge of nerve signaling and immune activity led to lasting relief. He shares how founding Healing Lab forced him to confront durability head-on: results that wore off pushed him to iterate, improve, and build protocols that now help most clients maintain gains with monthly sessions. We examine research that challenges the placebo-only story—cell cultures recovering from stress, plant cuttings surviving far longer with distance sessions, and animal studies suggesting effects on disease progression. The theme is consistent: measurable changes in systems that don’t rely on belief. We also unpack distance healing, which you can actually test. Mike sends clients a small card carrying a stable, energetic “bridge,” making remote sessions as reliable as in-person work. For busy professionals, he can adjust energy mid-meeting, with clients often noticing a shift before his follow-up note. For arthritis, he pairs targeted energy with practical tools: diet, supplements, and gentle exercise strategies that support joint health without flare-ups. He offers a free e-book and monthly resources, inviting skeptics and fans alike to evaluate changes in pain, function, and resilience over time. If you’ve tried everything and feel stuck, this conversation offers a different lens: precision energy for the tissues that hurt, transparent guarantees, and methods refined by real-world feedback.

    How Childhood Trauma Disrupts Digestion, Hormones, And Self-Worth

    Send us a text Download the Chakras and Hormones Guide Here.  Your gut isn’t just digesting food—it’s digesting your life story. We explore how early experiences shape the solar plexus, the body’s center for will, confidence, and metabolism, and reveal why cravings, energy crashes, and “wired but tired” might be your nervous system asking for safety. With a blend of medical insight and gentle energy work, we map the path from survival to steadier energy, calmer digestion, and a kinder inner voice. We unpack what happens when childhood stress trains the HPA axis to live on high alert, how cortisol pushes glucose into the bloodstream, and why insulin struggles to keep up. Then we translate that science into daily tools: breathwork that warms the upper abdomen, Reiki to release stored shame, and journaling that reclaims the I can of early development. Along the way, we highlight the role of the kidneys and vitamin D in insulin sensitivity and mood, and explain how hydration, minerals, and sunlight rebuild your base so the solar plexus flame can hold steady. You’ll leave with practical steps that actually fit real life: build meals that stabilize blood sugar, use magnesium and B vitamins to support nerves and adrenals, add 10 minutes of natural light to reset rhythms, and choose movement that grounds rather than exhausts. We close with a guided visualization and affirmations—It is safe for me to be seen, My power is gentle and grounded, I digest life with ease—so your body learns that nourishment and safety can coexist. If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with someone who needs a kinder plan for healing, and leave a quick review so we can reach more listeners on this path.

    Balancing The Solar Plexus: Hormones, Digestion, And Confidence

    Send us a text Ever wonder why your energy surges after lunch then crashes hard by mid-afternoon? We connect the dots between the solar plexus chakra and the biology of the pancreas and kidneys to show how confidence, digestion, and steady focus all flow from a balanced inner fire. You’ll hear a clear explanation of insulin and glucagon, what beta cells actually do, and how stress, poor sleep, and constant multitasking push you toward insulin resistance and mood swings—plus the everyday habits that pull you back to center. We dive into the kidneys’ overlooked role in energy through mineral balance and vitamin D activation, reframing “vitamin” D as a hormone that shapes mood, immune function, and insulin sensitivity. From there, we lay out practical steps you can use today: three mindful breaths before meals to switch on digestion, balanced plates that pair complex carbs with protein and healthy fats, mineral-rich hydration, and magnesium to calm the nervous system. We also explore safe, effective sunlight routines and when to talk to your clinician about testing and supplementation for vitamin D3 and K2. Interested in learning more about hormones and your chakras?  Download my eBook Chakras and Hormones: Chakras and Hormones eBook To integrate body and energy, we guide a simple visualization that brightens the upper abdomen with golden warmth and an affirmation—“I am radiant, confident, and in balance”—while core work, gentle twists, and even laughter stoke digestive fire and improve breath. By the end, you’ll recognize the signs of imbalance, know how to protect precious beta cells, and have a toolkit to stabilize blood sugar, lift mood, and reclaim personal power. If this spoke to you, grab the free Chakras and Hormones guide in the show notes, share the episode with someone who needs a boost, and subscribe for updates on our next deep dive.

    Grounded: How Overthinking Drains Your Root Chakra And Adrenals

    Send us a text Ever notice how the harder your mind works, the less your body feels like home? We dig into why relentless thinking tricks your brain into sounding a constant danger alarm, how that message hits the HPA axis, and why your root chakra interprets it as “I’m not safe.” You’ll learn how this loop fuels anxiety, fatigue, restless sleep, and sugar cravings, plus the grounded practices that bring your energy back where it belongs. Learn more about the HPA axis, Hormones and Chakras in this free resource: Chakras and Hormones We begin by reconnecting with the body through simple breath and awareness, then map the physiology: the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal pathway, cortisol and DHEA rhythms, and the way chronic worry keeps the nervous system on high alert. From there, we translate the science into daily tools. Five accessible grounding practices form the core of this episode—barefoot time or visualization of roots, warm and stabilizing foods like root vegetables and quality protein, a 4-2-6 breath cadence to ease the system into rest and digest, gentle yoga moves like mountain pose you can do anywhere, and practical guidance on when to test salivary cortisol and DHEA to validate what you’re feeling. You’ll hear examples of stress “hot hours,” body check-ins that take under two minutes, and a calming phrase to re-teach safety to the lower brain. We also share options for energy support, from brief Reiki resets to a free 90-minute Harmonize Your Energy workshop with downloadable guides.  The goal is simple: stop living from the neck up and reclaim steadiness from the spine down so thought, feeling, and action move in the same direction. If this helped you feel more grounded, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s running on fumes, and leave a quick review. Want to join us live and get resources in your inbox?

    Sacral Chakra, Hormones, Emotions

    Send us a text Creativity isn’t a side quest; it’s a vital signal from the body’s inner compass. We explore how the sacral chakra weaves together intimacy, fertility, and the urge to make things—then map those insights onto the real chemistry of hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. With a blend of Ayurvedic perspective and modern physiology, we break myths, clarify roles across genders, and show how energy and biology can point the same way. We start by grounding the sacral center in everyday life: relationships that feel nourishing, cycles that make sense, and small acts of creation that reset the nervous system. From there we dive into what these hormones actually do—muscle function, mood support, bone health, implantation—and why proportions matter more than labels. You’ll hear why estrogen can be a performance booster, how progesterone steadies the system, and why women also benefit from testosterone. We address contraception choices, cycle variability, and the importance of tracking your own patterns instead of chasing one-size-fits-all advice. On the energetic plane, we discuss kundalini as a powerful but nuanced force, the risks of over-activation that can look like chasing intensity, and the simple practices that create safety and flow. If you’re drawn to practical steps, we share approachable tools: carnelian and tiger’s eye as tactile anchors, citrus and rose oils to tune the senses, and a short breath ritual to reconnect with your lower center. Expect a thoughtful, stigma-free look at how creativity, connection, and hormones shape your mood and your day. If this conversation resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a gentle reset, and leave a quick review. Want to go deeper or join our live recordings?
