Over the last few years especially, the risk of catching an infectious disease has changed the world. Whether that’s sanitising our hands constantly, staying three feet away from each other, or wearing masks, we’ve adjusted our lives to avoid potential illness out in society. But the statistics of leading health issues tell us a different story - we should be looking closer to home.

Examining the choices that we make day to day is critical in reducing our health risks. Our environment is full of potential risk factors such as toxins in our diet or stress at work, and we can create maladaptive strategies to cope with the daily influx. In this week’s episode, we’ll be looking at the toll lifestyle diseases are taking on our bodies, from childhood through to adulthood. Whilst typical medicine focuses more on fixing the physical symptoms that arise from these illnesses, we’re taking a holistic view of the root causes of these issues - and how you can stop them in their tracks. Using one of our favourite (and easy to understand!) holistic frameworks, we’ll be breaking down the link between lifestyle illness and your physical, biochemical, and emotional health. Only by treating your body as a whole, can we heal the sum of your parts.

We’ll be discussing:
😷 Influences of lifestyle and environment on health risk factors
😷 The leading causes of death and suffering across health groups
😷 Poor mental health and the impact it can manifest in the body
😷 The triad of health: the physical, biochemical, and emotional branches of healthcare

Can you be truly healthy if you no longer have back pain, but you have emotional baggage from the breakdown of your demanding relationship? Could you be truly healthy treating a disease with rounds of stressful and invasive procedures, without having a support network around you to help manage the toll on your mental health?

If someone asked you if you feel healthy, it might be easy to default to an ‘I’m not sick, so I must be healthy’ attitude. But working within that assumption means that health can only be defined as an absence of illness, and it assumes that is the maximum capacity we have for health as human beings - but we have so much more potential than this. We are going back to the basics of holistic healthcare in this week’s episode to define what ‘healthy’ could truly mean for you. We’ll also be explaining how blockages in your psyche could be stopping you from wanting to feel well, and how unravelling these self-limiting beliefs can help you discover and address the root cause of the issues. Only by treating all the parts of yourself can we create healthiness as a whole. Don’t accept the bare minimum for your health - there’s no limitation to vitality!

We’re breaking down:
👩‍🏫 Defining what being ‘healthy’ truly means: not just treating the physical aspects of health
👩‍🏫 The need for community and connection that we require for our emotional health
👩‍🏫 How we use pain and illness as a tool to express other unmet needs
👩‍🏫 Using diverse healing options in a broad holistic approach

The spread of medical misinformation can lead to uncertainty and confusion when seeking out healthcare. In some cases, it can be enough to deter patients from ever reaching out at all. But does it have to be that way?

We’re debunking some of the most common myths and misconceptions in this week’s episode of the Luminous Body podcast, and how they can be holding you back from taking the next step towards healing. With so many different treatment options and health modalities available it can be difficult to sort fact from fiction, and when these beliefs are based in fear it complicates our perceptions even further as we reject reality and close ourselves off to new information. Whether it’s doubting your ability to heal, or comparing your symptoms with someone else, any set-backs can shatter our trust in the healing process. But it doesn’t have to be this way - we’re arming you with the knowledge you need, from understanding why treatment options might vary from case to case, to being aware of what a healing journey should typically look like. We’ll help you to take the next step with confidence, rather than fear.

We’ll explore:
🌱 How fear-based perceptions can cause barriers to accessing healthcare
🌱 The body as an individual system, and the effect this can have on treatment plans
🌱 How healing can present in a non-linear way
🌱 The importance of trust in your healthcare provider, and yourself
