End Chronic Pain and Find Movement Freedom with Tyler Bramlett #187
Épisode 187
jeudi 20 août 2026 • Durée 45:26
Discover how to heal chronic pain, release stored trauma and fix your posture. Movement coach Tyler Bramlett of WeShape shares functional fitness & mindset secrets.Are you tired of pushing through the pain in your workouts only to end up injured, burnt out, or stuck in a cycle of "one step forward, one step back"?In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, host Sarah Dawkins sits down with movement coach and WeShape co-founder Tyler Bramlett. Tyler opens up about his 15-year personal healing journey, from overcoming childhood fat-shaming and a devastating cycling accident to surviving a catastrophic gymnastics knee injury.Together, Sarah and Tyler break down why the traditional, appearance-driven fitness industry fails us by using shame as fuel. They dive deep into the profound connection between physical pain and stored emotional trauma, exploring how to cultivate self-love and become your own guru.Key Takeaways From This Episode:03:02 Tyler explains how the modern fitness industry uses self-judgment as fuel, which often hinders progress and leads to burnout. 05:01 If you are in pain, you must stop focusing on "pushing harder" and start learning how to move functionally to build a strong foundation. 10:14 Tyler illustrates how an injury in one area (like the foot or knee) causes a chain reaction, creating misalignment in the hips, back, and even the opposite shoulder. 17:34 Just as babies master stabilization before walking, adults must master fundamental movement patterns like core stabilization to prevent future injuries. 22:52 Why "sucking the belly button in" is ineffective; Tyler introduces the "elevator" technique (intra-abdominal bracing) as a more powerful way to protect the spine. 25:32 Tyler and Sarah discuss the "woo-woo" yet scientifically observed phenomenon of how emotional memories and trauma are often held within tight muscles and tissues. 28:27 Tyler shares a personal breakthrough: shifting his internal dialogue from criticizing his injured knee to speaking to it with patience and compassion, which accelerated his recovery. Don't get stuck in an "all or nothing" mentality. Simply placing a tool (like a strap) in your way and doing small, daily "movement snacks" creates lasting habit change. Tyler's Bio TYLER BRAMLETT is a movement coach, father and co-founder of WeShape whose path was reshaped by a cycling accident that shattered his femur and permanently damaged his knee. Tyler and his wife founded WeShape to challenge the belief that worth is tied to appearance. His work now sits at the intersection of movement, psychology and culture, helping primarily women 50+ reduce pain, restore confidence and build healthier relationships with their bodies.Tyler blends personal story, practical expertise and emotional depth. His message resonates widely, making him a compelling voice in discussions around wellness, mindset, resilience and the future of fitness.Connect with TylerWebsite: weshape.com/selfhealers Podcast: The Feeling Lighter PodcastSocial Media: WeShapeWho am I?Sarah Dawkins is an award-winning coach, "The Adaptation Architect," creator of The FREEDOM Framework, #1 author of Heal Yourself, international speaker and the award-winning host of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers podcast.A former Registered Nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience, Sarah healed herself from multiple chronic conditions, leading her to a powerful realization: we are not broken, we adapted.

The Conflict Within: The Hidden Cost of Keeping the Peace #186
Épisode 186
jeudi 13 août 2026 • Durée 14:44
Are you constantly keeping the peace with others while fighting a silent war within yourself?
In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, we dive deep into the hidden physical and emotional costs of chronic people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and emotional suppression.
Many of us learned early in life that being agreeable was the only way to stay safe, loved and accepted. But what served as a childhood survival strategy often transforms into adulthood self-abandonment, leaving us exhausted, resentful and physically depleted.
We often attribute chronic stress to busy schedules or workloads, but the stress of editing who you are and swallowing your truth takes a massive toll on your nervous system and physiology. Your body keeps score.
🕒 Key Episode Highlights
⏰ 0:51 — The Core Paradox
Many people spend their entire lives actively avoiding conflict with others, only to end up creating a constant, damaging conflict within themselves.
⏰ 2:30 — Childhood Survival Strategies
Pleasing others and keeping the peace at all costs is often a survival strategy learned in childhood to feel safe and loved, but it eventually limits how we live as adults.
⏰ 5:12 — The Exhaustion of Self-Doubt
Living divided is like driving a car with one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake; it places the nervous system under immense strain and wears the body down.
Returning to Yourself: Healing Trauma Through the Body with Cindy Gosselin #185
Épisode 185
jeudi 6 août 2026 • Durée 23:55
Can you heal fibromyalgia and scoliosis naturally?
Cindy shares how she overcame childhood trauma and a prognosis that she’d be in a wheelchair by age 30.
Discover how she used osteopathy, chiropractic care, neurofeedback and emotional release to completely reverse fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis.
Learn how to listen to your body’s language and start your own holistic healing journey.
Key Information
02:01 – After enduring 10 years of childhood stress and trauma, Cindy was diagnosed in her early 20s with scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
03:51 – Cindy’s healing journey began with an osteopath. In their first session, she filled a paper with her physical and emotional symptoms.
04:43 – An osteopathy goes beyond bones, they focuses on getting the body's systems to talk to each other again, especially a nervous system that has "shut down" or adrenal glands depleted from chronic trauma
06:22 – Cindy's neck vertebrae had lost their natural curve and were completely straight. Through years of chiropractic adjustments and specialized apparatuses, she successfully restored the spacing and curvature.
10:53 – Cindy and Sarah discuss how Western medicine uses fibromyalgia as a "blanket diagnosis" for unexplained pain. From her experience as a massage therapist, Cindy asserts that it is often unresolved emotional trauma locked physically within the body.
14:15 – Cindy emphasizes that everyone has their own unique "recipe for wellness." While she used everything from counseling to energy work and shamanic healing, she notes that individuals must test what resonates with their own body.
16:19 – Later in her journey, Cindy used neurofeedback to "reboot" her brain's wiring, mapping her brain waves with electrodes to correct improper firing patterns and regain control over her nervous system.
The Real Reason You Struggle to Be Yourself #184
Épisode 184
jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 13:52
Have you ever wondered why it's so difficult to say no, set boundaries, or simply be yourself?
In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, Sarah explores how many of us mistake survival patterns for our personality. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to constantly seeking approval, these behaviours often began as intelligent adaptations to help us feel safe and accepted.
Discover why authenticity isn't about becoming someone new, it's about remembering who you were before fear, trauma and conditioning taught you to hide parts of yourself.
Sarah shares compassionate insights into nervous system healing, childhood conditioning, emotional health and how reconnecting with your authentic self can support both emotional and physical healing.
Highlights & Timestamps
⏰ 01:41 – The Origin of Survival Strategies: How we learned in childhood that being quiet, perfect, and meeting expectations equaled love and safety.
⏰ 02:49 – Nervous System Programming: Why our brains default to repeating decades-old survival patterns instead of choosing what actually makes us happy.
⏰ 04:08 – The Physical Cost of People Pleasing: How ignoring our own needs leads to chronic symptoms, exhaustion, and completely losing touch with what we want.
⏰ 05:35 – The Obedience Ritual: A breakdown of how the subconscious fear of rejection forces us to silence ourselves and constantly manage our image for approval.
⏰ 07:21 – Healing Without Judgment: Why healing is about thanking our protective behaviors for keeping us safe, rather than declaring war on them.
From Misdiagnosis to Natural Healing: A Journalist's Health Journey with Sally Beck #183
Épisode 183
jeudi 23 juillet 2026 • Durée 37:38
In this inspiring episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, host Sarah Dawkins is joined by veteran national newspaper journalist, author and ghostwriter Sally Beck to talk about holistic thyroid recovery and moving out of survival mode.
Both Sarah and Sally share their personal triumphs over underactive thyroid issues without relying on long-term pharmaceuticals. They dive deep into the often-ignored physical symptoms (such as brain fog, brittle nails, and burning mouth syndrome) and the profound emotional tie between thyroid health and speaking your authentic truth.
Episode Chapters & Highlights
⏱ 00:54 — Sally’s Diagnosis Backstory
Sally shares that, like 1 in 8 women, she has a thyroid issue. She went undiagnosed from her late 20s until about three years ago when she was finally properly diagnosed by Dr. Sarah Myhill.
⏱ 01:53 — The Hidden & Uncommon Symptoms
A deep dive into the unpredictable physical symptoms of an underactive thyroid. Sally highlights classic signs like weight fluctuations, brittle nails, and brain fog, alongside rarer symptoms like tinnitus and "burning mouth syndrome" (feeling like you've scalded your mouth).
⏱ 04:14 — The Paradox of Hyper-Energy vs. Fatigue
Host Sarah Dawkins discusses losing the outer third of her eyebrows and battling permanent exhaustion. Sally notes that she bypassed early medical detection because she experienced the exact opposite: an abundance of hyper-energy she couldn't burn off.
⏱ 11:14 — The Emotional Root & The Throat Chakra
Both discuss how physical treatments only go so far without emotional work. They link thyroid health to the throat chakra, explaining how swallowed words, censoring one's authentic voice, and internalizing conflict rather than speaking out can manifest as internal illness.
⏱ 15:33 — The Truth About Thyroid Medications & Fats
A critical look at the long-term side effects of pharmaceutical hormone replacements (like Synthroid/Levothyroxine) and natural desiccated thyroid alternatives, including the unadvertised risk of osteoporosis. They also challenge modern medical dogmas by discussing why the body requires saturated fats and cholesterol to synthesize Vitamin D and support hormones.
The Cost of Performance: Loneliness, Judgement & Your Health #182
Épisode 182
jeudi 16 juillet 2026 • Durée 12:31
Ever felt completely alone in a crowded room? In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, host Sarah Dawkins exposes the hidden physical toll of "engineered loneliness" and our universal fear of judgment.
Drawing from her early days as a professional trainer, where standing in front of groups triggered intense anxiety, Sarah breaks down the biology of social rejection. Discover why your ancient nervous system treats a room full of judging eyes the exact same way it treats a predatory threat, keeping you stuck in chronic, low-grade fight-or-flight.
Living in "performance mode" is an exhausting survival adaptation that spikes cortisol, alters digestion and creates chronic inflammation, muscle tension and sleep issues. If you've been hiding behind a mask of total perfection to stay safe, no amount of supplements or diets can fix a nervous system that feels fundamentally unseen.
Key Information
01:44 The Root of Public Speaking Anxiety: The universal fear of public speaking is rarely about the act of talking itself; it is a profound, deep-seated fear of social judgment and rejection.
02:13 The Health Toll of Social Isolation: Chronic fear of how we are perceived creates "engineered loneliness"—a severe biological stressor that quietly drains our physical health.
04:49 The Trap of the Performance Mask: Living life as a performance to avoid criticism creates a protective character, meaning people only connect with a mask rather than who we truly are.
05:53 The Nervous System and Social Threats: The ancient human nervous system cannot differentiate between physical danger (like a predator) and social rejection, triggering an ongoing state of fight-or-flight.
Why Poor Blood Flow is Killing You And How EECP Fixes It with Jack Clifford #181
Épisode 181
jeudi 9 juillet 2026 • Durée 32:37
In today's episode, host Sarah Dawkins sits down with retired US Coast Guard E9 and author Jack Clifford to expose one of the most powerful, underutilized medical devices on the planet: EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation).
After being told he needed an emergency triple bypass for severe arterial blockages, Jack took his health into his own hands. Now, with over 600 personal hours logged on an EECP machine, he has successfully grown an entire network of new micro-vasculature to bypass his own blockages.
Timestamp of key information
02:32 — The Emergency DiagnosisJack shares how his symptoms started during a run, then becoming short of breath when walking.
04:27 — The "Chili Pad" Catalyst. Jack shares how a Christmas gift meant to cool his bed triggered excruciating chest pain at 4:00 AM, forcing him to rush to the ER and revealing the severity of his cardiovascular condition.
07:02 — The Danger of "Pump Head". Jack explains his hesitation toward a bypass, highlighting a phenomenon known as "pump head".
11:41 — 100% Arterial Blockage. A heart catheterization showed that Jack's arteries were up to 100% blocked and diffuse throughout, meaning there was nothing the doctors could even place a stent into.
14:19 — How EECP Actually Works. Jack discusses how pressurized cuffs on the calves, thighs, and hips inflate sequentially between heartbeats to push blood back up to the heart and brain.
15:21 — Rebuilding the Vascular System. Jack explains that by forcing blood through the body multiplies capillaries and arterioles, to naturally grow a biological bypass around his 100% blocked arteries.
16:09 — Surprising Full-Body Side Effects. Beyond heart health, Jack and Sarah recap how the massive influx of oxygenated blood successfully reversed his erectile dysfunction, resolved pre-diabetic neuropathy, sharpened his eyesight and cleared up chronic brain fog.
Your Body Isn't Broken: What Your Symptoms May Be Trying to Tell You #180
Épisode 180
jeudi 2 juillet 2026 • Durée 12:16
What if your symptoms are not the problem? What if they're actually trying to help you?Today, we explore a different perspective on health, illness and healing. Rather than seeing symptoms as signs that the body is broken, what if they are intelligent messages from a body that is trying to protect, adapt and communicate with you?Sarah shares insights from her own healing journey from autoimmune disease, chronic pain, depression, adrenal exhaustion and other health challenges, as well as what she has learned through years of supporting others on their healing journeys.In this episode, you'll discover:🕒 0:36 — Shifting the Paradigm on SymptomsThe core premise of the episode challenges traditional views on illness by asking whether symptoms are actually an intelligent mechanism trying to help and communicate with us, rather than a sign that the body is simply broken.🕒 1:27 — From Nurse to PatientSarah shares her personal background as a trained nurse who was taught to identify, diagnose, and medically manage symptoms. Her perspective changed when she became the patient, battling multiple chronic conditions (autoimmune disease, chronic pain, depression, adrenal exhaustion) that standard interventions failed to improve.🕒 3:24 — Symptoms as Evidence of AdaptationInstead of the body turning against itself, symptoms can be viewed as active evidence that the body is attempting to adapt, compensate, protect, and survive.🕒 4:17 — The Body Whispers Before It ScreamsUsing the metaphor of a child tugging at a sleeve to get attention, Sarah explains that the body initially communicates through subtle signs (mild fatigue, tension, anxiety). When ignored, it is forced to find much louder, severe ways to get our attention.🕒 5:46 — The Impact of Emotional SuppressionA major pattern in chronic illness is emotional suppression—putting others first, putting on a brave face, and staying strong. Because "the body keeps the score," unacknowledged and unprocessed emotions create significant internal pressure over time that manifests physically.🕒 7:41 — Systems Stuck in "Protection Mode"Some chronic symptoms, like anxiety, originate as protective mechanisms designed to keep us safe from perceived danger. Chronic illness often happens not because the body is broken, but because these protective responses remain active long after the original threat has passed.🕒 9:53 — True Healing vs. Silencing SymptomsReal, lasting healing isn't just about silencing or defeating a symptom. It requires curiosity and listening to discover what the symptom is pointing toward, allowing you to address the deeper physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual imbalances beneath it.If you've ever felt frustrated by persistent symptoms, chronic stress, anxiety, fatigue, pain, or health challenges that don't seem to make sense, this conversation may help you see your body in a completely different light.Connect with Sarah 📩 Email me: sarahdawkins.pm.me💬 Work with me: Leave a comment below this video or email me.
Is Your Food Poisoning Your Mood? The Gut-Brain Connection For Bipolar 2 with Kate Engler #179
Épisode 179
jeudi 25 juin 2026 • Durée 44:56
What if your "mood swings" were actually a cry for help from your digestive system?
Kate Engler shares her story of overcoming a Bipolar 2 diagnosis, toxic relationships and debilitating gut issues.
She dives deep into the gut-brain connection, explaining how eliminating inflammatory foods allowed her to finally regulate her emotions after a decade of numbing with medication.
Kate’s "80/20" approach to a balanced life offers a roadmap for your own healing journey.
Episode Highlights and Time stamps
01:59 After a tragic personal loss at age 20, Kate describes the onset of severe PTSD and depression and the beginning of her decade-long journey with psychiatric medication.
04:34 Receiving a Bipolar 2 diagnosis and the initial "relief" of having an answer and the subsequent years of emotional numbing via mood stabilizers.
08:29 Kate details the struggle with malabsorption, excruciating stomach spasms and joint inflammation that threatened her career
11:32 Through a self-directed elimination diet, Kate discovered a direct link between food and mood. She explains how corn specifically triggered inflammatory "rage" and how identifying food sensitivities changed her mental clarity.
15:12 A pivotal realization: "This all could be from my gut." Kate shares her experience of tapering off a decade of prescriptions to rediscover her natural ability to emotionally regulate.
24:45 Why eating "perfectly" isn't enough if you are in a toxic environment. She introduces the role of Reiki and energy work in addressing the "emotional toxins" that physical medicine often misses.
True chronic stress doesn't just come from external schedules or finances; it comes from the heavy energy required to constantly edit who you are and swallow your true emotions.
⏰ 9:07 — "Being Nice" vs. Being Authentic
Kindness is beautiful, but "being nice" often functions as a mask for hiding your true thoughts or skipping boundaries out of fear, which ultimately transforms into deep resentment.
⏰ 13:00 — Healing Beyond the Basics
True healing isn't just about supplements, nutrition, or breathwork; it fundamentally begins when you stop abandoning yourself and start telling the truth about what you need.
