    EP 65: One Week Everything Changed: How God Carried Her Through Cancer

    A marathon qualifier one week before a biopsy, then the words no 31-year-old expects to hear: breast cancer. In this episode, Melissa sits down with Marina Blackford for a raw, practical, hope-filled conversation about what happens when your body speaks and you finally listen. Marina shares her stage two triple negative breast cancer diagnosis, learning she is BRCA1 positive, and the decisions that followed, including second opinions and finding the right care team. She also challenges the idea of “chemo versus holistic” and shares how she combined both to stay grounded and informed. We talk real chemo side effects and what actually helped, from acupuncture and ginger tea to simple routines that made treatment more manageable, plus the mindset shifts that carried her through fear, hair loss, and big life decisions. If you are walking through diagnosis or supporting someone who is, this episode brings clarity, steadiness, and hope.

    EP 64: Your Nervous System Matters More Than You Think

    What if healing after dental work has as much to do with your nervous system as the procedure itself? In this episode, we explore why some people recover quickly after extractions while others struggle with lingering pain, inflammation, and delayed healing. We dive into cavitations, bone health, and the connection between stress, fear, and the body's ability to repair. From biological dentistry to nervous system regulation, this conversation looks at the often-overlooked factors that may influence recovery. You'll also hear practical tools for reducing dental anxiety and supporting healing, including breathwork, weighted blankets, calming environments, and the power of feeling truly heard by your provider. If you've ever feared the dentist or wondered why healing didn't go as expected, this episode offers a fresh perspective.  Subscribe, share, and leave a review with the one thing that would make your dental experience better. ✨ About the Host & Ways to Work Together Melissa-Sue Methven hosts Not Alone with Melissa-Sue Methven, and is an author, speaker, and breathwork facilitator guiding emotional, nervous-system, and spiritual healing.

    EP 63: The Weird Energy Source That Actually Works

    What if beef is not the problem, but how we farm it is? This episode breaks down how regenerative agriculture and regenerative ranching can shift the climate conversation by focusing on better grazing and smarter manure management. We explore rotational grazing in simple terms and how it supports soil health, plant regrowth, and microbial balance. We also look at how captured manure can be converted into renewable natural gas and nutrient-rich soil inputs that improve the whole farm system. The conversation also covers nutrition, including why beef is a dense source of protein, amino acids, and nutrients linked to strength, recovery, and longevity, plus what changes when it is removed from the diet. If you care about food systems, soil health, and real nutrition, this episode brings it together.

    EP 62: Dentistry Looks Successful, But Here’s the Truth

    Dentistry often looks stable and respected from the outside, but the lived experience can be far more intense. This episode looks at burnout, chronic stress, and why so many dental professionals quietly reach their limits. We explore the real pressures behind the profession, including dental school debt, insurance delays, production demands, and the constant drive for clinical perfection. Even high performers can feel like it is never enough when every detail carries high stakes. We also look at the day-to-day environment of dentistry, from working in close contact with anxious patients to staying calm under constant pressure. Over time, this can keep the nervous system in a prolonged stress state that affects the body and mind.

    EP 61: What If Your Entire Life Follows One Thought?

    You can have all the grit in the world and still feel stuck, because willpower is not the first domino. This episode explores how thought patterns quietly shape emotions, behaviors, relationships, and the way we respond when life feels heavy. We look at how stress and trauma shape the nervous system, why anxiety and depression are not just mindset issues, and how self-sabotage often comes from unconscious loops rather than lack of effort. You’ll also hear practical ways to build awareness, regulate your emotions, and catch patterns earlier without shame. The goal is simple. Notice what is happening, understand the thought behind it, and take one small step in a better direction.

    EP 60: Are Your Dental Fillings Exposing You to Mercury?

    “Silver fillings” sound harmless until you learn they can be made of up to 50% mercury. This episode follows that realization into a bigger conversation about how mercury amalgam became standard in dentistry, why many European countries have restricted it, and why it is still commonly used in the US, often shaped by insurance and Medicaid coverage. We also explore the history most patients never hear. Early mercury-based dental pastes replaced tooth extraction in the 1800s, but industrial exposure in other fields revealed serious neurological effects, raising long-standing questions about safety and informed consent in modern use. For those with existing fillings, we cover what safe removal actually involves, including the SMART protocol and why proper training matters. We also discuss alternative materials like composite resin and ceramic options, along with functional medicine approaches some people use to support the body after exposure.
