    When Symptoms Speak: Root-Cause Healing, Body Wisdom & Reclaiming Your Health

    What if your symptoms aren’t betraying you - but trying to guide you? In this episode, I’m joined by Kristin-Grayce McGary, internationally recognized health and lifestyle alchemist, author, and speaker with nearly 30 years of experience helping people heal at the root level. Kristin bridges functional medicine with mind-body-spirit integration, offering a compassionate and practical approach to chronic illness, autoimmunity, thyroid and gut health, and emotional healing. We explore why so many people feel dismissed or confused within conventional healthcare, how emotional patterns and unresolved stress show up in the body, and what it actually means to listen to symptoms instead of fighting them. Kristin shares how functional blood chemistry, intuitive insight, nutrition, plant medicine, and soul care work together to support deep, lasting healing—not just temporary relief. This conversation is about shifting from fixing yourself to partnering with your body, and learning to trust the intelligence that’s been speaking all along. In this episode, we discuss: • Why symptoms are messages, not problems • The emotional roots of chronic illness and autoimmunity • What functional blood chemistry reveals that standard labs often miss • Gut and thyroid health as foundations for healing • Rebuilding trust with your body after years of frustration • The difference between restriction and restoration • How intuition and soul care support physical health If you’re tired of chasing protocols and want a more grounded, compassionate path to wellness, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. 🌐 Learn more about Kristin-Grayce McGary: https://kristingraycemcgary.com Send a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    Healing the Brain, Finding Your Voice & Building a Life That Reflects You

    What if healing isn’t about becoming someone new - but remembering who you were before life taught you to hide? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Shafer - neurologist, Jay Shetty–certified life coach, author, publisher, and host of Talks with Dr. Shafer - for a grounded, honest conversation about reclaiming your story and consciously building a future that reflects who you truly are. Dr. Shafer shares her non-linear journey from musician to physician, and how creativity, neuroscience, and self-awareness intersect in real healing. We explore how identity shapes the brain, why so many people feel stuck in outdated narratives, and what it actually takes to move from survival into self-trust. We also dive into her advocacy work supporting survivors of domestic abuse and intimate partner violence through We Don’t Tell Our Stories, and why community, voice, and storytelling are essential parts of recovery. In this conversation, we explore: • What “reclaiming your story” looks like in real life • How the brain responds when we release shame and rewrite identity • The role of creativity in healing and growth • Why self-awareness is the foundation of transformation • Empowering young voices through storytelling • Healing beyond silence after domestic abuse • Building purpose-driven work without burning out This episode is an invitation to step out of who you were told to be - and into who you actually are. 🌐 Learn more about Dr. Shafer: https://www.instagram.com/talks_with_dr_shafer/ https://drshaferstedronova.com/ Send a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    Healing Without Reliving: Releasing Trauma at the Subconscious Level

    What if healing didn’t require reliving your worst moments - or talking about them for years? In this episode, I’m joined by Mary Petto, Vibrational Energy Coach, creator of Rapid Turmoil Resolution™, and author of The Family Guide to the Law of Attraction. Mary helps high-functioning, emotionally aware people release trauma, anxiety, grief, and shame at the subconscious level - often in a single 90-minute session. A former corporate executive at Merrill Lynch and DLJ Asset Management, Mary understands the pressure of looking successful on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. Her work bridges neuroscience, subconscious rewiring, and vibrational energy to clear emotional residue at its root—without retraumatization or endless processing. In this conversation, Mary explains why talk therapy can sometimes keep people looping, how the subconscious stores unresolved emotion, and what happens when healing finally reaches the place where pain actually lives. We also explore the myth of “I’m fine,” why so many capable people still feel stuck, and what freedom feels like once emotional weight is truly released. In this episode, we explore: Why healing doesn’t have to mean reliving traumaHow the subconscious holds emotional pain - and how to release itWhat actually happens during a Rapid Turmoil Resolution™ sessionWhy high-achievers often feel “fine” but not freeThe science and energetics behind rapid emotional shiftsWhat clarity, peace, and freedom feel like after emotional residue clearsThis episode is for anyone who’s done the work, gained the insight, and still feels stuck - and is ready for healing that goes deeper than words.

    The Unseen Child: Reclaiming Self After Early Emotional Neglect

    Some wounds form before language, before memory - yet they shape how we relate, love, and see ourselves for a lifetime. In this deeply introspective episode, I’m joined by Dawn Nelson, author of Bone by Bone: Healing the Emotional Wounds of Preverbal and Childhood Abuse. Through raw, courageous storytelling, Dawn invites us into the hidden layers of early trauma - especially emotional neglect in infancy - and how its imprint lives in the body long after the mind has forgotten. Dawn shares her personal journey of uncovering the truth about her early life, including the moment she discovered legal records that confirmed what her body had always known. We explore the paradox of grief and relief, the creation of the “false self” as a survival strategy, and how compassion - for both self and parents - can exist alongside truth. This conversation is not about blame or reliving pain. It’s about reclamation - learning to reparent the parts of ourselves that were unseen, unheard, and unmet, and discovering that healing doesn’t require perfect memories - only honesty, presence, and care. In this episode, we explore: How preverbal trauma and emotional neglect shape adult identityWhy emotional wounds can exist without conscious memoryThe body’s role in holding early traumaDismantling the false self and reconnecting with the “unmothered” childHolding truth and compassion at the same timeWhat healing looks like when it becomes a lifelong return to selfThis episode is a gentle yet powerful invitation to look inward, honor your earliest experiences, and remember: it’s never too late to tend to the child within. 🔗 Links & Resources 🌐 Website: www.fromtheheart-hands.com 📘 Bone by Bone by Dawn Nelson: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dawn-Nelson/author/B001K7PSR2 Send us a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    From Survival Mode to CellCare: Healing Burnout at the Cellular Level

    What if burnout isn’t just mental or emotional - but happening at a cellular level? In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Monisha Bhanote, a 5x board-certified physician, best-selling author of The Anatomy of Wellbeing, and founder of the WELLKULÅ Institute, to explore what true health and longevity actually require - beyond hacks, supplements, and surface-level wellness trends. Dr. Bhanote introduces her signature philosophy, CellCare, explaining how chronic stress, trauma, poor sleep, and lifestyle overload leave our cells stuck in survival mode. We unpack how this shows up as fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, anxiety, inflammation, and burnout - even in people who “look fine” on the outside. Drawing from neuroscience, gut-brain biology, Ayurveda’s five koshas (layers of the body), and her own lived experience recovering from a traumatic brain injury, Dr. Bhanote reframes healing as a process of regulation, ritual, and cellular alignment - not optimization or extremes. We also discuss: Why longevity starts with emotional and nervous system safetyHow the gut, brain, and vagus nerve shape energy, mood, and resilienceThe difference between habits and rituals—and why rituals actually healCommon mistakes with supplements, diets, and biohackingWhy calm is one of the most powerful longevity tools we haveWhat it truly means to “listen” to your body’s intelligenceThis episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and rebuild health from the inside out - starting at the cellular level. ✨ If you’re exhausted from trying to do more to feel better, this conversation will change how you think about healing.

    Coming Home to the Body: Reclaiming Safety, Intuition & Inner Power

    In this powerful and deeply embodied conversation, we’re joined by Cathy Williams - body-based healing practitioner, creative arts therapist, award-winning author, and founder of Intuitive Self. Cathy shares her journey of surviving psychological abuse and the profound disconnection that followed - feeling numb, fractured, and unable to trust her own inner voice. Like so many women, her body became a place that felt unsafe. Through somatic practices and creative expression, Cathy found her way back - not by forcing healing, but by listening. In this episode, we explore how the body holds wisdom long after the mind has learned to override it, and how healing doesn’t require retelling the story - but relearning how to feel safe inside yourself again. Cathy offers gentle, accessible insights into: What body-based healing actually looks like in real lifeHow trauma disconnects women from intuition - and how to rebuild trustWhy creativity can unlock healing when words fall shortThe difference between intuition and trauma-driven fearHow nervous system regulation supports empowerment after abuseSimple practices to begin reconnecting with your body todayAt the heart of this conversation is a truth many women are just beginning to remember: When a woman comes home to her body, she comes home to herself. This episode is an invitation to soften, listen, and reclaim the body not as something to fix - but as a source of safety, wisdom, and strength.

    When Reality Shifts: Addiction, Recovery & the Science of Seeing More

    In this profound episode of Victim 2 Victor, we sit down with Tom Matte, founder of Upsight Vision, whose life-altering journey through addiction, psychosis, and recovery unlocked an extraordinary way of seeing. Once a successful advertising executive, Tom’s world collapsed when cocaine addiction triggered a severe mental health crisis. But in rebuilding his life, something unexpected emerged: a radical shift in perception that allows him to see holographic imagery around individuals-symbolic visual fields that reveal subconscious patterns, emotional blockages, hidden strengths, and unrealised potential. Now studied by neuroscientists and the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Tom’s work sits at the intersection of trauma, neuroscience, intuition, and human evolution. In this conversation, we explore what Upsight Vision really is, how trauma can act as a catalyst for expanded awareness, and why the future of insight may lie beyond what technology - or even language - can capture. Tom shares how his Holographic Readings help individuals gain clarity and emotional release, and how organizations use this intuitive intelligence to unlock innovation and alignment in ways AI never could. We also dive into his memoir, Jesus Goes to Hollywood: A Memoir of Madness, and the deeper message behind his work: that there is far more happening in our inner world than we’ve been taught to see. This episode is an invitation to question perception, redefine recovery, and explore what may be possible when we learn to truly see ourselves.

    The 528 Hz Frequency of Love: Breathwork, Sound Healing & Emotional Regulation

    In this powerful and grounding episode of Victim 2 Victor, we’re joined by Sigmar Berg - entrepreneur, sound healing advocate, and creator of the globally recognised Lovetuner, a mindfulness tool tuned to 528 Hz, often called the frequency of love. After experiencing a profound personal awakening through sound and breath, Sigmar dedicated his life to making emotional regulation, calm, and heart-centred awareness accessible to everyone. Together, we explore how sound and conscious breathing directly influence the nervous system, why trauma lives in the body, and how simple vibrational practices can restore coherence - emotionally, mentally, and physically. Sigmar breaks down the science and soul of frequency healing, shares real-world stories of transformation from schools to trauma recovery spaces, and offers listeners a practical, immediately usable tool to reconnect with inner peace, starting with a single breath. This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder that healing doesn’t always require force or effort - sometimes, it simply requires tuning in. ✨ If you’ve felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation invites you back to calm, presence, and the wisdom of the heart.
