    How to Regulate Your Nervous System to Build Confidence, Love & Success

    Send a text Why trauma, self-worth and internal safety determine your relationships and your results In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with holistic counsellor and trauma therapist Naila Ahmed to explore how nervous system regulation impacts your confidence, relationships, self-worth and success. Most people try to build discipline, hustle harder, or “fix” their external world. But what if the real issue isn’t motivation? What if it’s safety? We dive into: 🔸 How childhood trauma imprints your nervous system  🔸 Why self-worth determines what you allow in relationships  🔸 The hidden link between emotional regulation and body fat  🔸 Why money and success are reflections of internal safety  🔸 How to stop chasing validation and start attracting alignment  🔸 Practical steps to begin regulating your nervous system today If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still feel unsettled underneath, this conversation will shift your perspective. You can’t build a powerful life on a dysregulated nervous system. True Form isn’t just about training your body.  It’s about returning to who you were before the world told you who to be.  💬 Connect with Naila: https://www.instagram.com/coach.naila/   Want the quick takeaways?

    Send a text A conversation with Kristine Genovese on stress, emotion, purpose, and the deeper patterns shaping health. Many people are doing all the “right” things for their health, training consistently, eating well, managing their routines... yet still feel stuck, disconnected, or out of alignment. In this conversation, I sit down with Kristine Genovese, creator of the Soul Intelligence method, to explore what might be missing beneath the surface.

    Strong Feet, Strong Life: Why Your Foundation Matters - The Truth About Foot Pain and Modern Footwear with Podiatrist Thien Trinh

    Send a text What if everything you’ve been told about foot pain, footwear, and insoles is wrong? In this episode of The True Form Podcast, Jack sits down with podiatrist and biomechanics specialist Thien Trinh to unpack the messy truth about foot pain, plantar fasciitis, barefoot shoes, and why the footwear and medical industries keep getting it wrong. Thien is not your typical podiatrist. From growing up in a refugee family to appearing on Shark Tank, he’s built a mission-driven business around one core idea: if you fix the foundation, you change the whole system. That means rethinking the way we walk, the shoes we wear, the insoles we’re sold, and how chronic foot pain is treated across the board. We cover everything from gait retraining and chronic pain to integrity in business, copycat products, and why he’s betting everything on designing a new kind of shoe for the modern world. If you care about long-term health, movement, and actually being able to walk pain-free as you age, this episode will change the way you think about your feet. In This Episode, We Discuss: - Why feet are the most neglected part of modern health - How walking is a skill most of us were never taught - Why the “soft cushioning fixes pain” story is deeply flawed - The truth about plantar fasciitis and chronic foot pain - Barefoot vs cushioning: what the barefoot movement gets right (and wrong) - Why most orthotics are over-rigid, expensive, and misused - How cork-based insoles can support natural mechanics instead of splinting the foot - Thien’s family story: refugee roots, integrity, and entrepreneurship - What Shark Tank changed about his life, confidence, and mission - The problem with copycat products and surface-level marketing - Why he doesn’t charge for follow-ups and still reads every review His upcoming footwear line and how he’s designing shoes for real human movement on modern surfaces About Thien Trinh Thien Trinh is an Australian podiatrist and biomechanics specialist who has spent almost two decades treating chronic foot pain in-clinic. Frustrated by the failure of conventional orthotics and footwear to address root causes, he began hand-building his own cork-based insoles and ultimately took his solution to Shark Tank. Today, he creates education, products, and soon footwear, all built around one aim: helping people walk, move, and live without being controlled by foot pain. Support the show

    Why You’re Doing Everything Right… and Still Not Feeling Better: The Truth About Stress & Lifestyle Medicine with Dr Nupur Nag

    Send a text Most people think better health comes from tightening up their training and nutrition. But what happens when you’re already doing everything right—eating well, exercising consistently, hitting your steps, and your body still crashes? In this episode, I sit down with Dr Nupur Nag, a research academic and lifestyle medicine expert who has lived through chronic illness, burnout, and extreme dietary restriction, even while she was studying the science behind health. Together, we unpack the 8 lifestyle pillars that influence your brain and body, why stress quietly overrides all your good habits, and why many “healthy” people still feel anxious, fatigued, inflamed, or stuck. We cover: Why chronic stress rewires the brain and how to reverse it The 15-year mistake Nupur made by focusing only on food Why training harder won’t fix a dysregulated nervous system The 8 pillars of lifestyle medicine and how to apply them to real life How loneliness, lack of purpose, and poor sleep affect neurological health Why small, consistent actions always beat restriction and perfection Nupur’s work using AI and precision health to help people change behaviour This episode is honest, deeply practical, and full of lessons you can apply today, especially if you’re someone who “looks healthy” but doesn’t feel healthy.
