The Mind Your Health Podcast is about all things Gut Health!
As a healthcare practitioner with over 25 years of experience, Dr. Connie Cheung focuses on a holistic approach integrating her educational background in Psychology, Nutrition, Physical Therapy, Functional Medicine, and Yoga. She started the Mind Your Health Podcast to help as many people as possible get rid of pesky gut symptoms so that they can look and feel their best while living their fullest lives.
Dr. Connie has struggled and lived with life threatening autoimmune conditions, and she’s personally experienced the limitations in our current medical and holistic healthcare systems. She finds that our current health and wellness systems are broken due to their over-emphasis on treating only the parts and pieces of the puzzle, rather than considering the WHOLE body.
It’s her mission in life to help those suffering from chronic symptoms or illnesses by helping them get to the TRUE root cause, as opposed to offering surface level approaches that fail to address the whole body.
Gut health is the foundation for optimal health. In the Mind Your Health Podcast, Dr. Connie shares her knowledge and personal EXPERIENCE, while providing simple and practical solutions that are not only scientifically based, but timeless and effective which will help deliver long-term vitality and health from the inside-out.
Her unique perspective in putting together both Eastern and Western medical concepts in an easy-to-follow framework that you can easily APPLY in your own life will be life changing, giving you confidence in yourself to live your healthiest life.
Your mind will be blown at how easy it is to heal your own body when you finally activate your GUT and BRAIN to work together in synergy to have a positive effect on your whole body. You’ll learn that your WHOLE body is bigger than the sum of its parts.

How to Overcome Challenges WhenYou Have Little Motivation
Going through challenges in life can often feel like keeping a flickering candle lit during a storm.
Difficult experiences or phases of life are inevitable – they’re just part of the human experience. But often, these experiences are paired with a lacking sense of control and an inability to be the person we used to be up until that point. Which can lead to feelings of depression and a dwindling motivation to do just about anything.
Trust me, I’ve been there. If you’ve been following me, you know my kidney transplant story, and this experience has undoubtedly been the toughest and darkest time of my life.
At times, it felt like I’d never see the light at the end of the tunnel, but eventually I regained the energy, spark, and passion to keep moving forward, which I didn’t have for a very long time.
In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, I share the exact “bare minimum” routine I followed every single day, even on my toughest of days, that kept me going, and eventually got me through to the other side of the tunnel.
If you’re going through challenging times, I want you to know that you’re not alone. With even just the smallest amount of hope, continue to put one foot in front of the other and I promise you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel.

How I Created a Fulfilling Life By Going Against My Doctor's Advice
“Stay away from the sun. Don’t eat any junk food. Don’t work full-time. Take these medications for the rest of your life. And most importantly…DON’T have kids.”
These were the exact words my doctor told me when I was diagnosed with lupus almost 25 years ago. And as an almost Doctor of Physical Therapy getting ready to graduate and embark on a new life chapter, this felt like a death sentence.
I refused to succumb to these “rules” set by my doctor, and today I have two healthy sons and a thriving holistic wellness practice and yoga studio.
I don’t know what my life would look like if I listened to my doctor 100%.
And while I’m not negating everything doctors have ever told me throughout my life, I do believe many recommendations and prognoses given by health professionals can cause limiting beliefs in patients…
…preventing them from living their best, most fulfilling lives despite their condition.
In this Mind Your Health episode, I’ll share my very experience with receiving negative and limiting recommendations from my doctors, and how I turned lemons into lemonade to create a life that I love.
So I want to empower you to challenge the beliefs that doctors and other people have about you and your symptoms/condition, and cultivate an inner awareness and confidence to CHOOSE what’s most in alignment with your true self.
This is YOUR life, not anyone else’s.

When Doctors Have No Answers: My Eye-Opening Kidney Failure Story
Have you ever had something happen that completely changed life as you knew it?
For me, that moment was March 2021 when I got the Covid vaccine. Within 6 months after the vaccine, my kidneys shut down and I experienced complete kidney failure.
Fast forward to unrelenting sickness where I could barely get out of bed, to getting a kidney transplant and then having the transplant removed because my body rejected it…
…I received the scariest statement I had ever heard in my life.
It was the moment my doctors told me they had no answers as to why all this was happening. And that they’ve seen nothing like this in their 30+ years of practice.
What did this mean for me and my future?
I knew I had to keep going and I had to keep fighting. There was no other option because I needed to be here for my family, even if that meant I had to figure things out on my own.
In this episode of Mind Your Health, follow along as I recount my kidney failure journey and the biggest lessons it taught me…
…which are the reasons why I’m so grateful today for this experience.
So whether you’ve had a diagnosed condition you’ve been fighting for a long time, like cancer or autoimmunity. OR you don’t have a diagnosis but you have mysterious symptoms that your doctors can’t seem to figure out, like gut discomfort, skin rash, fatigue, aches and pains, etc…
Keep going and keep searching for answers and options because I promise that your story can change for the better at any moment.
I’m hosting a FREE training tomorrow May 8th at 12 PM ET where I’ll share four essential life skills I’ve learned that have kept me coming back stronger than ever, no matter what life and health throws my way.

Exponential Healing: How to feel better FAST
If you were traveling to the other side of the world, would you rather take a jet or a paddleboat?
Which one would get you there faster?
Exponential healing will have you reaching your health goals with jet-like speed, but most people unknowingly approach their health as if they were traveling across the world in a paddleboat.
In this episode of the Mind Your Health show, we’re discussing the difference between Exponential Healing and Incremental Healing.
Think of Exponential Healing as a snowball effect – when you’re able to tackle the root cause of your symptoms and focus on making shifts that make the biggest difference, you’ll experience a compounding effect where your body finds balance and you start to feel amazing in no time, no matter how long you’ve been suffering.
BUT, in order to achieve this, you need to understand how your body works holistically and which pieces of the puzzle are the most important to address…and that’s what you’ll discover in this episode.
I’ll share a FOUR step approach that will simplify your health efforts so you know exactly what to focus on that will make the most difference in your health.
So if you’ve been struggling with not feeling your best, and what you’ve tried has failed to give you lasting relief, then this episode will shift your perspective in how you approach your health, so that you can start to feel better FAST.

Hormone Imbalance Cascade: Why Your Pill is Just a “Band-Aid” Fix
Imagine you get a paper cut on your finger and you slap a band-aid on it…
…is it the band-aid itself that heals the cut? Of course not – the band-aid covers the wound and might stop the bleeding temporarily, but it doesn't heal the wound or prevent it from getting infected.
Prescription pills, supplements, or other drugs work the same way, especially for hormone imbalance issues including estrogen/progesterone/testosterone imbalances, insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and even melatonin for sleep.
Hormones, which are chemical messengers, work together to send signals to various glands throughout the body to regulate our everyday body functions. When symptoms arise, conventional doctors typically isolate and replace individual hormones with prescription medication.
Not only does this fail to address the underlying root cause of the ENTIRE hormone imbalance cascade, but it actually adds fuel to the fire by telling your glands to stop producing the hormone naturally, because your body is getting it from an external source, leading to further imbalance.
In this episode, let’s uncover how the hormonal cascade works to affect all hormones in the body, and why addressing hormones individually only provides temporary relief, rather than a sustainable long-term solution.
In this episode, you’ll discover…
- How the hormonal cascade works and how ALL hormones, from cortisol, sex hormones, and insulin to thyroid hormone and melatonin, work together and influence one another
- Which hormone triggers the entire cascade of hormone imbalance in the body, and why an imbalance in this hormone is more common than we think
- Why symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, foggy brain, low libido, and aches and pains are not isolated to a single hormone, explaining why hormone replacement will not resolve these symptoms long-term
This episode builds on last week’s episode about stress. So if you haven’t listened to it yet, check it out here!

Customer Reviews
ThankYou!ThankYou!ThankYou!
I sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge with us, both the good times and the more difficult times. Listening to your podcasts and reading your posts and emails, inspires and motivates me. You are helping me see that Lupus doesn't have to define who I am. It's helpful to learn ways to improve my health instead of just treating the symptoms. You truly are helping people, thank you for all you do.
A rare gem!
Dr. Connie is a rare gem! When most doctors are trying to push pills on you, she’s helping you get to the root of the issue and solving that instead of masking your symptoms with band-aids (pills). I’ve been to my fair share of doctors and they just aren’t educated on how the mind affects the body. They can’t teach you what they just don’t know. But then there’s Dr. Connie! Unconventional and absolutely amazing! Not only is she knowledgeable, but she’s not going to let you be lazy and just take pills. She asks you to take responsibility for your health. Wow! Really? Yes! And you should be the one responsible. You got here somehow and with her wisdom and guidance she’ll help you get out of it. And this review wouldn’t be complete without giving a shout out to her very friendly and awesome team!
Relief!
I have been recently diagnosed with lupus and was very scared about this disease I knew nothing about. Listening to this podcast has completely changed my point of view on how to handle this disease. I’m very happy to have found Dr. Jeon.
