    #405 - Two Universal Laws of Healing (and Living)

    What if healing isn’t about trying harder— but about living in harmony with the deeper laws that govern your body, mind, and life? In this episode, I explore two universal truths that show up again and again for those navigating symptoms, stuckness, and the healing journey. Here are some key points covered: Why what you resist persistsHow attachment blocks true receivingHow resistance creates physiological stress and stalls detox/healingHow surrender and curiosity unlock deeper flowWhy your relationship to the "issue" matters more than the issue itselfHealing isn’t random.  It’s wired into the way life moves—when we stop fighting and start trusting.

  8. #401 - Fear = Disease / Trust = Medicine

    MAR 28

    #401 - Fear = Disease / Trust = Medicine

    Your body is not broken—and healing doesn't begin with doing more. It begins with believing differently. In this episode of the Alter Life Podcast, we explore how fear-based thinking, diagnosis identity, and unconscious beliefs can block healing at the deepest level. We unpack the nocebo effect, emotional repression, the truth about symptoms, and how trust in the body is the most powerful medicine of all. This is a mindset recalibration—a return to your self-healing nature. In this episode: - Why diagnosis is not identity—and how labels can lock in illness - A powerful introduction to the science of the nocebo effect - What symptoms actually mean (and why they are not the problem) - How suppressing symptoms can interrupt healing - A practical challenge to rewire your beliefs and shift your energy this week Links to more good stuff - Work With Me - www.alter.health - GREEN FORCE! - www.visfoods.co (use the code AlterLife for $10 off) - Check out my favorite products - www.alter.health/products
