Discover Health Podcast

Joshua Sharp, DC

As a Doctor of Chiropractic and health coach, I feel like my mission is to help moms struggling with chronic illness. We know how hard it can be for moms to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated with the health care system because we lived it. My wife battled chronic Lyme, mold illness, EBV and more. After finding solutions that actually helped her go from using the walls for support just to walk through the house to now exercising and traveling with her family, we want to help other moms achieve their dream health goals too!For exhausted Christian moms like you, this podcast will help you change your health trajectory with intentional, doable steps so you feel genuinely hopeful about your future instead of stuck in survival mode. If you keep listening for 6–12 months, you’ll get real, practical, and actionable advice from me and from experts who’ve either lived your struggles or walk closely with women just like you, so you can feel confident, supported, and guided toward better health.

In this powerful episode of the Discover Health Podcast, Dr. Joshua Sharp interviews Cindy Costley, creator of the Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Technique (EBDT), who spent 34 years battling severe allergic reactions, chronic anaphylaxis, and what doctors later identified as Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). At one point, her liver and kidney enzymes were failing. Doctors told her it was time to focus on “comfort care.” But everything changed when she discovered that her body wasn’t betraying her. It was communicating.

    Send us Fan Mail Free Webinar: Why You Are Still Stuck With Your Health Join live on Tuesday: **Webinar Registration Link** https://events.discoverhealthfm.com/home2-831236 If you’ve tried diet after diet… and it always turns into restriction, stress, and rebound weight gain — this episode will hit home. In today’s conversation, Dr. Joshua Sharp sits down with Regina Oswald — author, designer, and certified coach whose work helps women move beyond diet culture into true body-mind harmony. With a background in the medical/pharmaceutical fields and training through Harvard’s Wellbeing & Nutrition Program, Regina bridges science, intuition, and self-compassion to help women shift from control and punishment to care, nourishment, and self-trust. Regina shares her personal story of extreme restriction (1,000 calories/day) and the toll it took — hormonal collapse, anemia, hair loss, and compulsive overeating — and explains why the “diet mentality” can instantly trigger a stress response in the body. We also unpack: Where dangerous diet messaging comes from Why “diet” can activate cortisol and survival mode How distraction disconnects you from hunger/fullness cues Emotional hunger vs physical hunger (and how to tell the difference) Why small steps beat all-or-nothing change The Minnesota Starvation Study and what it reveals about restriction Regina’s upcoming book: Liberation from a Diet Prison: A Journey to Body-Mind Harmony (launching March 17) Pre-order Regina’s book: https://a.co/d/04CVt6FH Connect with Regina: http://www.reginaoswald.com/ https://www.instagram.com/reginaoswald_wellbeing/ 🎧 More from Discover Health: Website: https://www.discoverhealthfm.com/ Store: https://discoverhealth.gethealthy.store/ ⏱ Chapters 00:00 – Faulty diet messaging: “strict rules” and “starve yourself” 01:01 – Meet Regina Oswald + her mission 01:42 – Book announcement: Liberation from a Diet Prison (March 17) 02:13 – Regina’s turning point (COVID, modeling, 1,000 calories/day) 03:25 – The cost of restriction: hormones, anemia, hair loss, overeating 04:40 – Dieting as “control” and the illusion of safety 06:45 – A prayer, a sign, and the shift toward self-love 08:13 – Changing the narrative: control → care 09:20 – Spiritual lens: discontent, self-criticism, and shame 11:04 – Where extreme dieting comes from (family patterns) 12:05 – Childhood rejection, perfectionism, and coping 14:52 – Healing: awareness + changing your inner voice 16:59 – Biggest mindset trap: “I must control my body” 18:33 – Awareness vs control: cooperating with your body 19:05 – Why body dissatisfaction starts early (girls 9+) 19:51 – Filters, edited bodies, and the “fix yourself” industry 21:10 – Dieting triggers cortisol: survival mode + slowed metabolism 23:00 – “Cooperate with your body” + move at your own pace 24:03 – What body-mind harmony really means 26:30 – Trigger → response: where freedom is found 31:06 – Distraction, dopamine, and why you don’t feel satisfied 34:50 – Where overwhelmed moms should start (small steps + refill your cup) 38:21 – Regina’s 9-week framework + simple portion guide 44:33 – Start small: water, add fiber, pause before reacting 47:10 – Minnesota Starvation Study: the psychological cost of restriction 50:58 – Regina’s message: you’re not broken, you don’t need fixing 51:29 – Closing + where to find Regina Support the show Check out my site: https://www.discoverhealthfm.com/ Online store: https://discoverhealth.gethealthy.store/ The information provided on the Discover Health Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
