Today we're diving into the world of nutrition, particularly as it relates to addiction. Our guest, Kelly Miller, a certified addiction counselor and holistic health practitioner, guides us through the intricate relationship between nutrition, holistic health, and overcoming addiction.   Kelly's journey began with an exploration of how nutrition directly impacts both body and mind. Through research, she uncovered the profound connection between nutrition and substance abuse recovery. As the brain adjusts to a life of abstinence, similar to its adaptation during addiction, Kelly reveals how vital amino acids like tryptophan play in enhancing mood and contentment.   We delve into dietary patterns common among those in recovery, such as skipping breakfast, and the significance of starting the day with protein-rich meals. Many in recovery find themselves living on stress hormones, but this can be managed with simple shifts in diet, leading to improved focus and groundedness. The conversation turns towards the gut-brain link, where Kelly explains the essential role of Omega-3 fatty acids in curbing cravings and promoting mental well-being.   There are parallels between food addiction and substance abuse—both rooted in emotional attachments, often originating from past traumas. Understanding the neurobiological aspects of food addiction sheds light on our power to influence brain chemistry and health. We discuss the gaps in conventional recovery models that neglect the crucial nutritional aspect and Kelly's insights inspire us to embrace a holistic approach. Even small changes can lead to remarkable results!   What you'll hear in this episode: [2:05] How nutrition impacts our bodies and minds. [7:20] How do vegetarians and vegans adapt to veganism?

I am thrilled to have the incredible Paul Noiles join me for an inspiring conversation. Paul's journey is one of profound awakening and continuous growth. He shares his remarkable path of self-discovery, emphasizing that awakening isn't just a single pivotal moment, but an ongoing process that leads us closer and closer to our true essence.   Join us to explore the concepts of attachment and identity as Paul recounts a major epiphany that shattered his ego's confines, ushering in a magical transformation. He believes that suffering can be a source of grace, unveiling profound insights and personal growth. As he wrote his book, Paul realized that every human being carries a mistaken identity, and addictions and depression can exacerbate this illusion.   We explore the theme of awakening consciousness and the power of self-inquiry through daily practices of meditation, prayer, and gratitude, which have guided Paul towards grace and consciousness. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the truth of things, tuning into the wisdom of the body, and navigating the ego's pitfalls.   Paul's insight into addiction as a response to pain, and his emphasis on embracing pain as a part of our humanity, resonates deeply. He sheds light on the significance of the first seven years of trauma and the role of mentorship in healing. He also shares his advice for practicing self-compassion and overcoming struggles in recovery.

In today's episode, I sit down with the brilliant Elias Abdel Ahad to dive into the depths of healing and growth. We'll uncover the secrets of understanding our body's needs beyond psychotherapy and manual therapy.   Elias starts by shedding light on the importance of integrating all the components of the human body. He explains how the intricacies of the ego connect to our physical body and how our upbringing plays a significant role in who we are today. We then explore various vagus nerve exercises, including ones involving the heart and phrenic nerve, to calm the nervous system and reconnect our thought process to a rhythmic flow.   We delve into the powerful integration of the gut and brain. Elias enlightens us on the gut's role in producing serotonin and the importance of being mindful of our eating habits to maintain our health and wellbeing. Depression can stem from imbalances but we have tips for taking agency for our own health and well-being.   From there, we dive into the necessity of changing the model of health, including conscious parenting and healing. Healing is not about removing trauma but learning to deal with it flexibly. The journey toward change requires awareness and willingness. This conversation is a gentle reminder of the power of understanding ourselves from within.   What you'll hear in this episode: [2:10] How did you know the body needed more?

We're exploring the foundational building blocks for a powerful recovery program that goes beyond just letting go of drugs and alcohol. Understanding the importance of emotional regulation and facing inner struggles like depression and trauma is essential for genuine healing and growth.   Checking our ego at the door and addressing shame from substance abuse are vital steps in the recovery process. We discuss the concept of "knowing thyself to be true," breaking free from external influences and taking responsibility for our actions.   Through a spiritual curriculum, we create new neural pathways, defying the drinking culture's pressure. Recovery isn't solely about abstinence; it's about growth and functioning. We also discuss the significance of embracing our intuition and learning to live with emotional pain and grief in a transformative way.   Accepting what is and moving forward without attempting to bend reality is essential for a fulfilling life. Let's empower ourselves to embrace a naturally high state of being and find inner peace. Tune in and discover the keys to a fulfilling recovery journey.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:45] The importance of emotional regulation.

In this fast-paced world, it's important we pause and take the time to reflect on who we are and what truly nourishes our souls. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Holistic health recognizes that each individual has unique requirements and that healing should be tailored accordingly. That's why somatic therapies, once considered alternative, are now gaining mainstream recognition. They address not only the physical aspects of our well-being but the emotional and energetic dimensions, allowing for a comprehensive healing experience.   Often, we seek solutions by focusing solely on the surface symptoms, but getting to the root cause is paramount. However, it's important to acknowledge that we can't always start there. Our innate desire for safety drives us to detect threats, whether real or perceived. Chronic trauma and stress can shape us and inadvertently hinder us from receiving the beautiful gifts that relationships and connection offer.   What if the very armor you've built to protect yourself from harm prevents you from embracing love, joy, and deep connections? I invite you to join me as we embark on a journey of vulnerability and discover the power of taking off our armor with co-regulation. Co-regulation becomes the first step towards self-regulation, allowing us to cultivate healthier relationships and create harmonious connections with the world around us.   As we explore these transformative ideas, I invite you to take a moment to reflect on your journey of self-discovery. By investing time and energy into understanding ourselves, we open the door to a life filled with purpose, fulfillment, and abundance.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:20] We need to know who we are and what we really need. [3:55] Why are we talking about this today? [5:35] The importance of getting to the root of the problem. [6:55] The detection of a threat or a perceived threat. [8:40] What happens when your adaptive mechanisms become the very thing that prevents you from receiving all the wonderful things that relationships and connection can offer? [10:35] How do we get healthy co-regulation? [12:20] The first step to self-regulation is to be co-regulation.   * Connect with me on IG @theholisticrecoveryspecialist & @therecovery_concierge * You can find Naturally High's Podcast Transcripts here: https://therecoverycon.wpengine.com/?page_id=744 * TRAUMA RECOVERY FACILITATOR TRAINING: Discover a comprehensive, integrative care method for sustainable change and optimal well-being as a trauma-informed facilitator blending evidence-based methodologies of neuroscience, attachment theory, nervous system regulation, epigenetics, and relational somatic healing that will transform all areas of your life and that of your clients.

Jesse shares with us his inspiring journey toward enlightenment, including his struggles with dark moments of suicidal ideation and substance abuse.   Through his tireless pursuit of knowledge and wisdom, Jesse discovered the profound power of indigenous healing practices and somatic therapy and was able to integrate these ancient teachings with the modern science of somatics to create a holistic approach to healing. As Jesse shares with us the importance of embodied healing, particularly in the context of trauma and psychedelics, we are reminded of the endless potential for growth and evolution that lies within each and every one of us.

I truly believe that you have the power to create the life you desire, and it all starts with shifting your perspective. It's time to take a closer look at ourselves and recognize the truth about our capabilities. We all have unique talents and strengths that can help us achieve our dreams but sometimes, we fall into a pattern of negative self-talk that prevents us from recognizing our potential.   To break out of this cycle, I encourage you to cultivate a holistic approach to your life. This means focusing on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By taking care of yourself in all aspects, you'll build the resilience and confidence needed to overcome external obstacles.   I also believe that a strong support system is essential to success. Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. And don't be afraid to share your truest feelings and thoughts with them, as vulnerability can be a catalyst for growth.   Remember, you are your own best experiment. Don't be afraid to try new things and explore different approaches. With an open mind and a willingness to learn, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:50] Who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we relate to ourselves is who we become. [5:00] What it requires for you to become what you want to be. [8:55] What I want to change right now. [12:30] The reason we get more of the same bad outcomes.  [15:10] Challenge for listeners: Be your own science experiment.   Listen to Similar Episodes: My "Why" - Achieving True Happiness Through Self-Discovery and Healing Bridging the Divide Between Where We Are Now and Where We Want to Be Discovering Our Wellness Intelligence   * Connect with me on IG @theholisticrecoveryspecialist & @therecovery_concierge * You can find Naturally High's Podcast Transcripts here: https://therecoverycon.wpengine.com/?page_id=744 * TRAUMA RECOVERY FACILITATOR TRAINING: Discover a comprehensive, integrative care method for sustainable change and optimal well-being as a trauma-informed facilitator blending evidence-based methodologies of neuroscience, attachment theory, nervous system regulation, epigenetics, and relational somatic healing that will transform all areas of your life and that of your clients.
