Human OS™: Mind Your Health, Rewired – Details, episodes & analysis

In this unapologetically honest episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on our so-called “healthcare” system—and why it’s failing so many of us. I share my personal experience of waiting hours for a 5-minute doctor visit, navigating systemic red tape, and facing medical negligence, dismissal, and even emotional harm from practitioners who were supposed to help. 🌿

This system wasn’t built for wellness—it was built for crisis. For code-based billing. For symptom suppression. And if you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsafe in a doctor’s office, you’re not imagining it.

But here's the truth: your health is your responsibility. And the most radical, powerful thing you can do is stop waiting for permission to heal.

This episode is your wake-up call and invitation to move, nourish, and pay attention before your body breaks down. Because actual health isn’t passive. It’s created, moment by moment, with intention.

If you’re tired of the band-aid solutions and ready to reclaim your health from a system never built to serve it, this one’s for you. ✨

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the toxic relationship I once had with my own body—masked as “health.” What looked like discipline and dedication was actually self-rejection, shaped by cultural expectations, internalized shame, and a fixation on being thin over being well. 🌿

I share how chasing perfection and attaching my worth to a number on the scale led to physical imbalance, emotional depletion, and a complete disconnect from my body. But now, in my 50s, I see clearly: true health has nothing to do with aesthetics—and everything to do with how we treat ourselves when no one is watching.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt not enough. Anyone who’s been praised for their willpower while silently suffering. And anyone ready to trade self-punishment for self-respect.

You are not broken. You don’t need fixing. You need freedom—and a new definition of health that includes peace, power, and presence. ✨

In this episode, we uncover why the real root cause of your health issues isn’t what labs, supplements, or even functional medicine practitioners focus on. ✨

Too often, the “root cause” is mistakenly defined by tangible lab results—imbalanced hormones, high cortisol, or nutrient deficiencies. But what if those are just effects of a deeper, unmeasurable cause?

We dive into the role of your thoughts, feelings, and actions—factors that can’t be captured on a lab report but profoundly impact your health. 

Learn why addressing stress, mindset, and how you show up in your daily life is missing in most health treatments. Using the E.A.S.E. Method, we’ll explore how regulating your enteric, autonomic, somatic, and psychological systems can create lasting healing. 🌿

This episode will empower you to rethink health and healing, challenging the over-reliance on external data while inviting you to take the helm of your wellness journey.

We are back this week for part 2 of our 3-part series where I share with you my personal story and how Functional Yoga Medicine as a methodology came to be, in hopes that it helps you recognize YOUR role in your health and wellness journey.
In part 2, I'll be talking more about my personal health journey, but more importantly, the PATTERNS I now recognize looking back that I believe contributed to various health struggles I've had along the way. It's true that how you do anything is how you do everything, so I've also realized it was these same patterns that pushed me to continue searching for answers to my autoimmune and gut issues, eventually leading me to create Functional Yoga Medicine as a Self Healthcare System that has not only helped me heal, but many of my patients and clients as well.
All in all, if you want to create something you don't currently have, like optimal health, it's crucial to bring awareness to your patterns that are either bringing you closer to what you want, or further away.
In this episode, I share about:
🌿 How my health and wellness journey began, and the truth about why this journey started for me
🌿My patterns when it came to school, eating, and exercising, and how these patterns eventually led to my autoimmune diagnosis
🌿The limitations I was met with as a patient in both the conventional and holistic medical systems, as well as in my education as a clinician
🌿The one thing I've incorporated in my practice, and why it makes all the difference in the success of my patients and clients
And be sure to tune into the final part of this series next week where I'll talk more about Functional Yoga Medicine and how YOU can apply it to create your own Self Healthcare System, no longer needing to rely on external tools for your healing.

This week we are kicking off part 1 of a 3-part podcast series where I'll be sharing my personal story and how Functional Yoga Medicine™ and the Dr. Connie Cheung brand came to be. I've also brought my Integrator, Leslie, on the show to interview me and help me bring out the best parts of my story that I believe will be most beneficial to you. By sharing my story, my hope is that you're able to bring greater awareness to where you are in your own healing journey and figure out exactly what it is that you're needing in order to create the health you want to have.

In part 1, I'll be talking all about RELATIONSHIPS. We all know that good nutrition, exercise, and stress management promote optimal health, but there are many things that fly under the radar that have just as much of an influence on our health – our relationships being one of them. So listen as I share about different relationships from my childhood through my adult years, and how these relationships had a direct effect on my health, despite all the healthy behaviors I thought I was doing right.

In this episode, I share about:
📍The conditioning, or "programming", I received as a child, and how this created an identity that influenced all my behaviors as I got older
📍How the way I perceived myself allowed me to succeed in my education, but ultimately led to my sickness as well
📍The truth about why negative relationships (with people, food, exercise, etc.) harm our health
📍The MOST important relationship you can have that will determine your outcome with your symptoms/disease

And be sure to tune in next week for part 2, as I talk more about my personal health journey leading up to my autoimmune diagnosis, along with all the health modalities I tried that worked and did NOT work.

Both women and men can experience a belly pooch or belly bulge, along with gut issues such as bloating, gas, constipation, and digestive discomfort. So what do most do? Try to get rid of it with typical weight loss tactics, including dieting and exercising.
But if you have a belly pooch and also struggle with pain (especially low back pain), gut issues, and poor posture, stability, and core strength, the truth is that you might have diastasis recti.

Diastasis recti is when the 6-pack muscles separate from being stretched out, and can cause the belly to bulge out. 60-70% of pregnant women suffer from diastasis recti due to the stretching of the belly during pregnancy.

So if you have a belly pooch that refuses to go away no matter how much you've tried to diet and exercise, this episode is for you. Listen as Dr. Connie, a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in Women's Health, explains diastasis recti and what you can do to treat it.

In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, you'll discover:
📌What diastasis recti is, and an easy way to determine if you have it
📌Causes and common symptoms of diastasis recti
📌How to treat diastasis recti and reverse the symptoms that come with it
📌More serious issues that can happen when diastasis recti goes untreated
📌How the pelvic floor plays a role in diastasis recti, and why most women are doing their Kegels wrong
📌The relationship between gut health and diastasis recti, and why changing your diet  alone won't get rid of your pooch

Want to learn some core focused exercises to help you treat and prevent diastasis recti? Follow Dr. Connie on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcQ8ySs38wLcDpp4-VJrdhQ),

For most people who want to improve their nutrition, they often seek to gain more KNOWLEDGE. They read books, seek out experts, or search the internet for the best foods to eat or the best diet to try.
But the truth is that we cannot achieve optimal health and well-being from knowledge alone. Application + EXPERIENCE is what gets us the health we are wanting to achieve, and this is where Yoga comes into play.
The practice of Yoga is an integration of the body and mind for self exploration and growth. But in order to get the most out of the Yoga practice, it's essential that you are adequately nourished.
In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, Dr. Connie aims to help you integrate and optimize the effects of both Yoga + Nutrition in a way that connects the body and the mind, allowing you to applying your knowledge so that you can EXPERIENCE the health results you're looking for, once and for all.
If you've been trying diet after diet or exercise after exercise with little to no results, this episode is for you.
You'll discover:
✅Why most diets are fragmented pieces of a larger puzzle, and how principle based nutrition is the way to discover the best diet for YOU
✅Why people fail to become "well" when they're immersed in the medical system
✅How to become "internally guided" on your health and wellness journey, rather than having to rely on the next best fad diet, supplement, doctor, or expert for answers
✅A brief look into Eastern Philosophical Principles that successfully integrate Yoga + Nutrition for optimal health and wellness, and how you can apply these principles into your own life

🚨This episode is for those of you who shrug off seemingly minor aches and pains, yet continually struggle with gut issues and difficulty losing weight.

Many people live with day-to-day aches and pains and ignore them for years because the pains don't actually prevent them from living their lives. But did you know that those minor aches can actually lead to systemic inflammation that makes it almost impossible to lose weight? Listen to this powerful episode where I'll help you connect the dots between your physical body and your metabolism and digestive system so that you can not only optimize your health, but lose stubborn weight once and for all WITHOUT having to rely on a diet.

In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, you'll discover:
✅The connection between minor repetitive injury, systemic inflammation, and weight gain
✅The reason why your hormones and metabolism can make weight loss difficult to achieve
✅Why we tend to ignore minor injuries, despite the fact that the repetition of small injuries causes more harm than a singular bad injury

Most people believe DETOX means getting on a restrictive diet, taking some supplements, or drinking a special juice or tea in order to cleanse the body. But true, effective detox actually involves much more than this.

Our bodies have natural detox processes – our liver, kidneys, lungs, gut, and skin work hard everyday to eliminate toxins and wastes that don't serve us. And while there are ways to optimize the functioning of these organs, a detox program cannot be fully beneficial without also detoxing our HABITS (which include stress and emotional triggers).

It's important to understand that the autonomic nervous system (which runs subconsciously) is driving our habits and our behaviors. So changing our behaviors without addressing our habits at the subconscious level is like trying to mop up water in a flooded room without first turning off the running faucet.

This is why, despite the best intentions and knowledge, many people have a hard time maintaining weight loss, healthy habits, or lasting results.

In this episode of the Mind Your Health Podcast, you'll discover:
📌What our detox organs require in order to drive the detox processes in our bodies (which is the reason why most detox programs and cleanses are ineffective)
📌Why your habits are the foundation of a successful detox, and why self awareness is an essential pillar for lasting health changes
What you can experience when you learn how to detox your body EFFECTIVELY, including decreased bloating, enhanced digestion, and improved energy
📌Mindfulness practices that promote effective detox and self awareness
