Why do you still feel drained, even after a full night's sleep? Could it be 'Cortisol Debt'? Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, we’re exploring the critical role that rest plays in healing, with a particular focus on adrenal fatigue and burnout. I like to explain cortisol as the body’s 'currency.' Much like financial budgeting, rest helps us 'earn' energy, while our daily activities and stress 'spend' it.  When we don't get enough rest, we end up in what I call 'cortisol debt,' and that’s when symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and even skin issues start to appear. I really want to emphasize how important it is to incorporate restorative practices like meditation and acupuncture into your routine. These practices help the body recover and manage stress more effectively.  Throughout the episode, I’ll also be breaking down the body’s stress response and explaining exactly how prolonged stress leads to adrenal fatigue. My hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll feel inspired to prioritize relaxation and rethink some of your habits to reduce stress in your life.In Today’s Episode We Discuss ·        Understanding Cortisol and Energy·        The Concept of Cortisol Debt·        Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue·        The Importance of Rest and Meditation·        The Stress Response Explained·        Long-term effects of Chronic Stress·        Rebalancing Your Body's EnergyIt’s important to remember your energy is like currency, and by incorporating more rest, meditation, and even acupuncture, you can help your body stay balanced and strong. As you move forward, my advice is to listen to your body. Prioritize relaxation, give yourself permission to rest, and make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. Where We Can Connect Listen on Your Favorite Podcast PlatformFollow the PodcastWatch & Subscribe on YouTubeFollow Me on InstagramConnect With Me on Facebook  Follow & Review On Apple PodcastsAre you following the podcast?

How much do your thoughts and words actually influence your health and healing process? Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, I’m diving into why your mindset plays such a huge role in your health and healing.  I see so many patients get stuck in negative thought cycles that seem impossible to break. The truth is, your brain can’t tell the difference between what’s happening in reality and what’s going on in your head. This means that you can actually transform your body just by changing the way you think.Positive energy is real! It has a genuine impact on your body. This goes for how you talk to yourself, and how others speak to you - whether it’s a friend, colleague, family member, or partner. Words hold a lot of power.   You can acknowledge what's going on with your health while still focusing on the small victories that keep you in a positive mindset. When you stay in that space, that’s when real change happens.  In Today’s Episode We Discuss ·        The Power of Mindset in Healing·        Understanding the Law of Attraction·        The Brain's Role in Perception·        Impact of Words on the Body·        Practical Steps to Shift Your Mindset·        Recognizing and Celebrating ProgressRemember to take it one step at a time—celebrate your progress, however small, and be mindful of the words you use both with yourself and others.

Is the Epstein-Barr virus impacting your ability to heal? Lately, I have been getting a lot of questions about this virus. This is something I talk about a lot in my day-to-day while working with my patients, so in this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I’m diving into the nitty gritty of what the Epstein-Barr virus is, what it looks like, what symptoms to watch for, how we test for it, and treatment options as well. I work with a lot of hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, and thyroid issues. A big part of being a naturopathic doctor is trying to get to the root cause of illnesses. After digging around,  I found that many of my patients had the Epstein-Barr virus in an active state. The problem is, if your body is dealing with that, it’s not going to have any energy to fix your hormones, deal with the thyroid, or do anything else. If the body is really busy trying to get rid of something that shouldn't be living there, it's not going to have cellular energy to do a lot of other things. That being said, it’s important to stay on top of this virus when it flares up. Tune in to learn more about what you need to know about the Epstein-Barr virus while on your healing journey. Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/106I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney!

Have you ever heard of SIBO?  SIBO stands for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and I have seen a major increase in the number of patients who come in with this in the last year. It’s a condition where specific types of bacteria will overgrow in the small intestine. The typical type that we see the most causes a large amount of bloating.  In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I’m sharing what this condition is, the symptoms to watch for, and how to treat it. Stress is the number one cause of SIBO, so it’s so important to manage your stress. You might also find that you’re struggling with this condition if you are exercising too much.  Spending a lot of time in the parasympathetic state is the best way to improve this condition but there are some other ways as well. We have to work on the nervous system and digestive system at the same time to get to the root of the problem, address the terrain, and calm your nervous system down.  Tune in to learn more about SIBO and find out how to treat it so that you can start feeling better.    Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/95   I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND  I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Pain is a huge part of life for many people and it can be very disruptive. Luckily, there are multiple ways to manage pain aside from traditional painkillers.   In fact, many times you can drastically improve your pain by just changing your day-to-day habits.

Have you ever tried hypnotherapy?  In this episode, I sat down with Brooke Ansley, a hypnotherapist, to talk about how you can use hypnotherapy to achieve your health and wellness goals. Brooke used it herself to change her behavior and belief systems around things that were keeping her from her health goals, and it completely shifted the way she views exercise and health.  Brooke is a certified hypnotherapist and creator of Happy Body Blueprint, a course that teaches women how to build a fit body with hypnosis, so they can ditch the diet cycle for good.  She combines her passion for the mind-body connection with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a 200-hour yoga instructor certification, and a unique skill set as a former Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapist.   Brooke aims to help women heal their negative inner self-talk, so they can free up headspace for more motivation, happiness, and healthier choices.  It’s her goal to empower women to reconnect with their bodies and create long-term, sustainable health.

Are you feeling stuck when it comes to your health journey?  A mistake that a lot of women make when it comes to their health is restricting their calories too much, which inevitably leads to overeating. I have spoken on this topic many times on the show because it is something I see so often with my patients.  Society tells women that this is the way to become healthy and in turn, women’s bodies start to fall apart due to not getting the proper nutrition. By eating healthy, nutritious foods, you’re going to lose weight, drastically improve your health, and feel amazing.  In this episode of The Dr. Kinney show, I sat down with my right-hand sidekick, Morgan Mills. Morgan had a similar struggle with overexercising and binge eating but has since found a healthy balance and feels better than ever. In this episode, she shares her journey through it all and what she does now to help patients take control of their health. Morgan is a Certified Holistic nutritionist and health coach with AFPA.  Lover of all things health and wellness, Morgan has spent the past 12 years studying and staying up to date in the health and wellness field, helping her gain the knowledge she is able to share with her clients today. Tune in to learn more about disordered eating, the benefits of whole foods, gut health, blood sugar, losing weight without counting calories, and so much more.  Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/92   Resources Mentioned:  Learn how you can work with Morgan: https://drerinkinney.com/holistic-health-providers/ Follow Morgan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganmills0410   I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND  I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Unfortunately, a lot of people struggle with osteoporosis and osteopenia which means I get a lot of questions about them, so in this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I’m diving into the topic to tell you what you need to know about this disease from a naturopathic point of view and the connection between it and your gut health.  The first thing that you have to understand about osteoporosis is that the bones are living, breathing parts of our body that are constantly changing. Their main purpose is to store calcium, so if your body is not getting enough calcium from your diet or your gut, it’s going to pull it from your bones.  As we age, if we don’t have proper absorption of calcium in the stomach, osteoporosis or osteopenia can develop. So how do we fix it? There are a number of things we look at when it comes to treating this condition. We not only look at your calcium absorption levels, but we also look at multiple other factors that could affect your ability to absorb calcium.  The good news is that there are things you can do to treat osteoporosis. Granted, they do take a longer time to take effect. It can sometimes take as long as two years. That’s why it’s so important to be consistent with your treatment.  Remember, if you’re suffering from osteoporosis, your body is actually doing what it can to protect you. Tune in to learn more about what osteoporosis and osteopenia are, treatment options, tests you can take to monitor your bones, and parasympathetic activities that you can do to help on your healing journey.  Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/91   Resources Mentioned:  Learn more about the bone resorption test: https://www.gdx.net/core/sample-reports/Lipid-Peroxides-SR.pdf   I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND  I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Are you struggling with chronic pain? Many people struggle with this every day, and unfortunately, the typical medical model just doesn’t work for everyone. Sometimes you need more naturopathic methods to heal your body.  In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I am talking to Dr. Kirstie Griffiths about healing the body and alleviating chronic pain using the mind-body connection.  Dr. Kirstie Griffiths is a Canadian chiropractor, yoga teacher, and best-selling author practicing in Guelph, Ontario. Her passion is in helping people overcome back pain using a mind-body approach that integrates chiropractic and yoga.  Dr. Griffiths offers holistic, heart-centered care to patients and practices an evidence-informed model of healthcare. She has a particular interest in assessing and treating chronic pain and understanding the interplay between mental and physical health.  Dr. Griffiths is the author of "Back to Wellness: A mind-body approach to managing your back pain" and the founder of “Yoga for Back Pain,” a 12-week online program that combines education, movement, and meditation, specifically designed for individuals with back pain. Healing chronic pain takes time and commitment. It is usually tied to your daily patterns and those patterns and habits need to be broken if they’re causing pain. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Tune in to learn more about chronic pain and healing it by connecting your mind and body.  Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/90   Resources Mentioned:  Check out the Yoga for Back Pain course: ​​https://yogachiropractor.com/yoga-for-back-pain/ Get the free class: https://yogachiropractor.com/free-video-yoga-for-back-pain/ Visit Dr. Griffiths’ website: www.yogachiropractor.com Follow Dr. Griffiths on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechiropracticyogi/ Connect with Dr. Griffiths on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechiropracticyogi Follow Dr. Griffiths on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drkirstiegriffiths   I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinne

Do you ever struggle with accountability?    When you set health goals, it’s easy to fall off track. You don’t want to give up on yourself, you want to finally reach the goals you have been trying to achieve. However, you won’t always have the motivation to keep going, so what can you do?   In this week’s episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Emily Maciejewski, a health coach who works in my office, to talk about how to hold yourself accountable and actually reach the health goals you set for yourself so you can feel amazing about your body and your health.    Emily has been in the health and wellness industry for 10 years. She is passionate about helping her clients create a positive and supportive space for people to honor their needs. As a holistic health coach, she loves helping clients examine their relationship with food, movement, and mindset. Emily aims to meet each client where they are in their journey. Practicing a holistic approach to health and wellness means that she looks at every area of your life, and how they are connected. There is no one size fits all approach when it comes to health and wellness, so she hopes to guide people through transforming their lives based on their individual needs.    If you want to make a change in your body, you have to be consistent for a decent amount of time. There just isn’t a way around it. No matter what you’re trying to do, whether it is trying to lose weight, heal your gut, balance your hormones, etc., you have to give it at least three months for your body to adjust. Tune in to this episode to learn about holding yourself accountable, consistency, mindset shifts, the law of attraction, and so much more.    Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/89   Resources Mentioned:  Follow Emily on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emilycmash/ Visit our website to learn more about our services: http://drerinkinney.com/free-consultation/ I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Have you heard of a female-focused approach to healing?    It’s no secret that women see the world and react to the world differently than men do. We know it instinctively. That being said, doesn’t it make sense that women need a different approach to healing?    In today’s episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Bree Stedman to talk about how we can approach healing as women with our differences from men in mind for a much deeper, and more effective result.   Bree Stedman is a Transformational Women's Coach and the spokesperson and trainer for the Institute of Women International. She is passionate about redefining female empowerment by giving women the confidence to be seen and heard in business and in life through epigenetic, female-specific healing.   Many of us end up stuck in patterns because the things we are trying just aren’t working, but it doesn’t have to be that way. As women, we are innately different than men, so we need different approaches to healing emotionally and physically. Bree embraces that in her work and is passionate about working with women who are absolutely committed, ready, and determined to change.    Tune in to learn more about how women and men are different, healing the conscious and unconscious, and so much more.    Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/88   Resources Mentioned:  Visit Bree’s website: www.breestedman.com Follow Bree on Facebook: www.facebook.com/breestedman Follow Bree on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breestedman/   I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Are you ready to ditch diet culture and learn how to love your body?    There is a lot of toxic culture around the fitness industry and it can leave women feeling like their bodies are never good enough. We equate weight to health, which can harm our self-image.    In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Courtney McCarthy to talk about the importance of embracing your body, ditching diet culture, finding joy in movement, and so much more.    Courtney McCarthy is the CEO & Founder of Loyobo FIT, a virtual community dedicated to helping women to ditch diet culture, find joy in movement, and finally figure out how to love their bodies.   Courtney's own journey with health and struggles around body image/weight loss inspired her to become an ACE Certified Fitness Professional. She learned the hard way how broken our views are toward women's bodies and how the formula the fitness industry presents as "the answer" keeps us stuck in a cycle of shame, guilt, and self-blame.   Her mission is to prove that there is another way and to help women step out of the struggle and into self-love! She teaches women how to ditch diet culture, how to heal their relationship with food and movement, and how to take the stress out of self-care. She wants you to see that you are MORE than a body and have the power to define health for yourself.   The trick is to start loving your body and feeling confident in your own skin now. Tune in to learn more from Courtney about how to do just that.    Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/87   Resources Mentioned:  Get the free Love Your Body guide: https://www.loyobofit.com/loveyoursize Visit the LoYoBo FIT website: https://www.loyobofit.com/ Follow Courtney on Instagram: ​​https://www.instagram.com/loyobofit/ Connect with Courtney on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/loyobofit I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Are you familiar with Human Design or sound healing?    I share a lot about different types of healing on this show, and in this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I am diving into the topics of Human Design and energy medicine with Colette Carlsson to understand how these things work to help us live healthier lives.    With over a decade of unique experience in both the music and holistic healing industries, Colette blends her two lifelong passions to rebalance your mind, body, and energetic field. She harnesses the power of sound frequencies, guided meditation, Human Design, and energy medicine to transform the lives of a wide range of celebrity clients, from musicians to professional athletes and executives.   Her biggest passion is working with women through all stages of the motherhood journey, bringing an innovative, energetic approach to conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and parenting.   Human Design offers so much insight into how we operate and it can help us relate to and understand others better. Sound medicine is a great method of healing for people who struggle with meditation and turning their minds off because it coaxes your brain into a more relaxed state.   Colette has so much knowledge to share on this topic and I know you’ll enjoy it.

Are you aware of the power of a positive mindset?    This can influence so many things. Whether you are trying to lose weight, heal from a chronic condition, gain more energy, or any other change to your physical body—your mindset is the number one most important thing that you can change.   In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I am diving deeper into why your mindset matters so much when it comes to health and healing.    This is something that so many of my patients get stuck on. They end up in a negative thought loop that they just can’t get out of. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between what is happening in real life and what is just your thoughts. This means you can actually change your body by changing the way you think about things.    Positive vibes are a real thing! They actually do have a major impact on your body. This applies to the way that you talk to yourself and the way that others talk to you, whether that be a friend, coworker, family member, or spouse. Words are powerful.    You can still be in the reality of what is going on with your health while also focusing on the small wins and positive things that keep you in a positive mindset. When you stay in that energy, that’s when change can occur.    Tune in to learn more about how the law of attraction and a positive mindset can drastically improve your overall health.    Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/85   Resources Mentioned:  Read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709 I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Have you ever considered using hypnotherapy for your chronic conditions?    So many of our subconscious beliefs are based on emotions and our environment. It can feel impossible to create lasting change or heal ourselves. Hypnotherapy aims to alter those subconscious beliefs so that you can move forward and heal your mind and body.    In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Atarah Valentine to talk about subconscious beliefs and healing from within using the power of hypnotherapy.    Atarah Valentine is a Certified Hypnotherapist (CHT) and Mindset Coach with specialized training in Inner Child Healing, Trauma Recovery, Mental and Emotional Release Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, PTSD, Cancer, Law of Attraction, Immune Disorders, and Weight Loss. Valentine has developed a very grounded, pragmatic approach to self-actualization leaving his clients feeling empowered and regaining trust in themselves through a process of conscious and subconscious cognitive reframing.   Change really can be easy if you have the right tools and resources. Atarah strives to teach his people the tools they need to heal themselves without his guidance. You don’t need to be afraid of change. You just have to be patient and allow yourself the time and grace to get there.    Tune in to learn more about subconscious beliefs, the benefits of disrupting your daily habits to make a change that actually sticks, and the positive impact hypnotherapy can have on your health.     Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/84   Resources Mentioned:  Get the Rehearse.

Breastfeeding is an important part of motherhood, but unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of education around lactating and partner support before the baby is born.    That being said, a lot of people are very surprised by the process. There is so much that happens physically and emotionally, and it can catch you off guard if you’re not prepared. While it is true that breastfeeding is a very natural process and it is something that humans have always done, it’s still a huge learning curve for both the mom and the baby.    In this week’s episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Danielle Powell, a returning guest, to talk about the wonder and struggles of breastfeeding.    Danielle Powell is the owner of Chesapeake Birth and Baby. She has provided support to families for over 10 years. She is passionate about postpartum care and helping families transition smoothly to life with a new baby. She manages postpartum doulas and creates consistency of care standards.    Tune in to learn more about why you should take a breastfeeding class before the baby is born, health issues that could make an impact on your breastfeeding journey, cluster feeding, and so much more.    Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/83   Resources Mentioned:  Chesapeake Birth and Baby: https://www.chesapeakebirthandbaby.com/  Follow Chesapeake Birth and Baby on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chesapeakebirthandbaby Follow Chesapeake Birth and Baby on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chesapeakebirthandbaby I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND   I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Do you understand the connection between exercise and your hormonal health?    I am constantly getting questions about this topic. People wonder how much they should exercise, how much is too much, if they overdoing it, if they are not exercising enough,  etc. There’s a lot of information out there, so it can be hard to determine what really is best.    In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I am diving into the topic of exercise, the specific types of exercise, and how they can affect your hormones—as it relates to women.    Exercise is generally an amazing thing for supporting a healthy lifestyle. However, there are times when different types of exercise may be more beneficial to your health than others. Sometimes, it’s great for you to dial it up a notch, and other times, it’s great to dial it back.    It comes down to when you are putting your body into fight or flight mode with exercise and what your body and hormones actually need.  Tune in to learn more about your hormones, how they work in your body, how exercise impacts them, and how to adjust your exercise routines based on what your hormones need.  Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/82 I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND    I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Do you know the health effects of being exposed to mold?    Many people don’t realize just how harmful mold can be. It’s a pretty big problem, and we don’t know as much about it as we need to. Luckily, simple things like improving your environment can have a huge impact and give patients with mold issues a better quality of life.    In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, we are getting into the details of mold and how it can impact your health if you are exposed to it.

Many women face a lot of lingering issues after having a baby.    They face back pain, diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues, and so much more. Unfortunately, most don’t get the treatment they need because the medical focus usually shifts to the baby after birth.   In today’s episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Kelsey Vagnoni to talk about how physical therapy can make a huge difference for postpartum moms.    ​Kelsey Vagnoni earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Delaware in 2007.  Since that time, she has taken over 400 hours of additional hands-on training to improve her manual therapy skills.  She spent 9 years in outpatient orthopedics as a spine and pelvic specialist before starting her own business.   She became a mother in 2015.  While she was recovering from a very traumatic birth, she realized physical therapy had a much-needed place in postpartum recovery.  Why is physical therapy routine for a sprained ankle but not after childbirth?     She started Personalized Physical Therapy in 2016 with a goal to provide high-quality, accessible care to mothers and change the way we think about physical therapy. The truth is, postpartum women don’t get the care they need to truly heal their bodies after all they go through.    Tune in to learn more about how physical therapy can help you heal your body and improve your strength postpartum.   Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/80   Resources Mentioned:  Visit the Personalized Physical Therapy website: https://www.personalizedphysicaltherapy.org/   Connect with Kelsey on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/personalizedphysicaltherapy I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND   I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Everyone knows that they need to drink water, but do you actually understand the importance of hydration?    When speaking of chronic disease, many doctors will emphasize the importance of nutrition. Nutrition is definitely a huge piece of the healing puzzle, but another, more overlooked piece is hydration. Hydration really needs to be your starting point before you go on any nutritional plan. The best part? It only takes one day to start seeing results. Whereas with nutrition, it takes weeks to start seeing the effects of your diet changes, you’ll know immediately what it’s like to feel better because you are hydrated.    In today’s episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Dr. Dana Cohen to talk about optimal hydration and why it should be the first treatment plan for any disease or illness.     Dr. Cohen has worked side by side with the late Dr. Robert Atkins, a true pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. Well respected by her peers and beloved by her patients, Dr. Cohen, most importantly, is a clinician. She is an internal medicine doctor who has spent her career focusing on integrative medicine. She has helped thousands of patients find relief from a variety of health problems utilizing the principles of integrative and functional medicine.   She practices with an emphasis on the individual, understanding that no two patients are alike. She focuses on nutrition and limits her patients’ reliance on prescription medications by using diet, lifestyle changes, and nutritional supplementation.     To heal chronic issues, you have to get back to the basics. Tune in to learn more about optimal hydration and how you can properly hydrate and start seeing immediate results.    Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/79   Resources Mentioned:  Get Dr. Cohen’s book Quench: https://www.amazon.com/Quench-Fatigue-Through-Science-Hydration/dp/0306923351/   Follow Dr. Cohen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdanacohen/   I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND   I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Have you ever wondered if your hormones are out of balance?    This is a really important topic and something that I talk a lot about with my patients. Many women come in and say that something is going on with their hormones. They may not know which hormones are out of whack, but they know it has to do with their hormones and they need help.    In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I am sharing everything you need to know about stealth infections and the endocrine system, a.k.a.- your hormones. Many times these imbalances are caused by a stealth infection that’s been slowly wreaking havoc on your body.    You don’t have to live with these symptoms. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t be afraid to ask your provider to go deeper. Get these tests done and get to the bottom of it so that you can finally start to heal. If you don’t feel like your provider supports you or understands, it’s okay to find a new one! Life is too short and your health is too important to let this slide.    Tune in to learn more about what infections could be causing a hormonal imbalance, what your doctor should be checking for, and so much more.    Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/76   I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkinney

Are you familiar with the mind-body connection?  When your body is facing a lot of stressors, it can be easy to feel stuck. This is because your brain is trying to protect you so much that you can’t get out of a fight or flight response in order to heal, so sometimes it all comes down to getting your brain on board. In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Ashleigh Di Lello, who has a remarkable story. She lived on the verge of death for 4 years and battled chronic pain before overcoming what everyone thought she couldn’t. She did this by using the power of the mind-body connection.  Ashleigh Di Lello is the founder & creator of Bio Emotional Healing®, a revolutionary method based in neuroscience that helps her clients around the world finally break free from chronic pain, limiting beliefs, behaviors, and emotions to thrive in their lives! Despite being told by doctors she wouldn't live past her teenage years, she refused to give up and discovered the secret to rewiring the mind-body connection. She became an elite athlete, TV & Broadway star, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. In order to calm down and heal, your brain has to feel safe. It is biologically hardwired to resist change, so doing too much at once can easily overwhelm it. Taking small steps is key to rewiring your nervous system and subconscious mind.    Tune in to hear more about the process of rewiring your brain so that you can finally break out of that fight or flight response, calm your brain, and start your healing journey.  Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/74   Resources Mentioned:  FREE TRAINING: How to Break the Negative Thought Loop & Master Anxiety & Self-Doubt: https://watch.ashleighdilello.com/s/74gC41   FREE Mind-Body Blueprint: https://ashleighdilello.com/freeblueprint/   Schedule a FREE consultation with Ashleigh: https://ashleighdilello.com/calendar/   Visit Ashleigh’s website: ​​https://ashleighdilello.com/   Follow Ashleigh on Instagram: ​​https://www.instagram.com/ashleighdilello/   Listen to the Body Freedom Radio podcast: https://ashleighdilello.com/podcast/   I would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKinneyND    I would love

Have you ever wished it was easier to gather all of your diet, lifestyle, and health information in one place?   As you may already know, this type of information is extremely important when it comes to holistic health practitioners. They need to look at the whole picture when it comes to your health, not just the problem area. In order to do that, they need all of your information.    Generally, this means patients are scrambling around trying to gather everything they need from multiple different apps or notebooks. It doesn’t have to be this way though! We live in a time where technology is evolving every day which makes things like this much easier for the health practitioner and patients alike.    In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Vanessa De Waal to talk about how she found an easier way to integrate all of your health information so that you have easy access to everything you need in one place.   Vanessa is the founder of FLÖKA, a platform that helps practitioners heal patients faster by syncing them up with their patient's real-time lifestyle context.

Do you listen to your body?    You may think you do, but sometimes the answer isn’t what you think. That feeling of intense anxiety you’re getting? It doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong with your health, it could just be your sympathetic nervous system sending you a message.    Our sympathetic nervous system sends us into action. It’s what motivates us and drives us. So when you feel that racing heart or nervous energy, it’s important to slow down, take a step back, and try to figure out what your body is trying to tell you. Is there something you need to do or some action you need to take? Could it be excitement, motivation, or anticipation?    In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Dr. Avigail Lev to talk more about our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, listening to our bodies, and changing our relationship with our thoughts.    Dr. Avigail (Abby) Lev is a psychotherapist, author, mediator, international speaker, and executive coach in San Francisco, California.

Many women are stressed out. By that, I mean their stress levels are through the roof! Stress impacts our body in numerous ways, and one of the biggest ones is our digestion. When we are stressed, it can make it difficult for our bodies to digest the food we eat. This can lead to many diseases that could have been prevented.    Juicing is a simple and effective way to not only help your digestive system but help you quickly get some of those nutrients and antioxidants that you are lacking.

Do you feel like you have a pretty good balance in your life?    Sometimes, it can feel like we are on the hamster wheel of life just trying to get by. This is generally a good indicator that something is out of balance. We have to step off that hamster wheel and into the driver’s seat to find the positive momentum we sometimes desperately need.    That’s not to say it would be easy though. Growth requires us to be challenged and pushed beyond the boundaries of our comfort zone.   In this episode of The Dr. Kinney Show, I sat down with Emily Ransone to talk about how we can replace the busyness with more balance and achieve the type of growth we have been searching for.    Emily was one of those high achievers that looked great on the outside. Leading a 14-year career in corporate America, then owning two successful office furniture dealerships and two commercial real estate start-ups. But on the inside, she was deteriorating to the point where her body couldn’t produce a baby. She felt depleted, disillusioned, and full of despair.    Reinventing herself and her company through discovering the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) she was able to turn everything around and today leads a healthy business and life. Emily was able to tap into an innovative way of running her $50 million company so that she was able to reclaim control and free up her time to focus on what she really loves to do.    Tune in to hear more about how we can start taking care of ourselves, learn to say no, and ask for help when we need it to find more balance. You’ll also get some tools and tips to help you start seeing positive growth in your life     Resources Mentioned:  Check out Emily’s website Check out the Vision/Traction Organizer Growth Junkies Unit Book Connect with Emily on LinkedIn   I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram!

Have you ever felt like you were living your life for someone else?    It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that if you just do this one “thing”, other people will love you more. Many times, this pattern of people-pleasing can be extremely harmful to our physical and mental health.    Today’s guest on the Dr. Kinney Show, Paul Fishman, had the realization that most people are doing this, and their health was suffering for it. He made it his mission to teach self-love and show people how happy they can be if they are working to please themselves, not others.    Paul is the host of the top 100 podcast, The Road to Self Love, and creator of the Self Love "Diet", a 6-month transformative program that teaches you how to say yes to yourself, ditch the people-pleasing, and live the life you've always wanted.    His mission is simple, to empower and inspire a sense of belonging in each of us. Paul has been lauded for creating brave space, building a fiercely dedicated community, and helping thousands of humans love themselves unconditionally.   It’s a lot easier to point the finger at other people for your pain but sometimes you need to take a hard look at yourself to see what you really need to change. The key to becoming a healthier, happier you is to habitually nourish the devotion to your own individuality.   Make sure to tune in to hear all of the details!  Resources Mentioned:  Visit Paul’s website Check out The Road To Self-Love podcast More information on the Self-Love Diet program Follow Paul on Instagram   I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram!   Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/59

Did you know that the health of your pelvic floor can influence you physically, mentally, and emotionally?    Your pelvic floor is a collection of muscles at the base of your pelvic floor that is part of your foundational core. A lot of women are struggling with instability in these muscles without even realizing it. This can manifest as low back pain, stomach tension, constipation, diarrhea, or even leakage or incontinence.    Needless to say, your pelvic floor muscles are extremely important, and healing them can benefit you in more ways than one. We need to keep them happy, healthy, stable, and strong. In this episode, Julie Blamphin is back on the show to teach you how you can do just that!    Julie Blamphin has taught yoga since she was 12 years old. Now she empowers women to enjoy leak-free laughter and pain-free sex by stabilizing the core and pelvic floor. She is passionate about using movement and laughter to release the taboo around pelvic floor instability - which she believes is the key to rediscovering your sexy joyful self.    Unlike other Yoga Teachers, Julie combines physical yoga poses with a laughter practice and emotional connection. She values vulnerability, courage, positivity, and feeling sexy at every stage of life. Julie loves to laugh, dance, garden, travel, and speak Spanish. She's a Pittsburgh Steelers football fan and currently lives in Annapolis, Maryland USA.   The pelvic floor is our root chakra and sacred space for women. It is so important that we nourish and care for it so that we can find more balance in all aspects of our lives.    Tune in to hear how you can achieve more pelvic floor stability and improve your overall health using yoga.     Resources Mentioned:  Take the pelvic floor discovery quiz Check out Julie’s website Follow Julie on Instagram Join the Celebrate The Pelvic Floor Facebook group   I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram!

Did you know that you can choose how you feel by eating certain foods?  Many people don’t realize that the food you eat has a huge impact on not only your physical well-being but your emotional well-being as well. You can actually tailor your food to fit your needs and how you want to feel.  Understanding your body is the first step of this process. Just because a diet or fad produced amazing results for your friend, doesn’t mean it will work for you. Just like our personalities are all unique, our bodies and their needs are unique as well.  There is more that goes into health and nutrition than calories and hormones, and in this episode of the Dr. Kinney show, I sat down with Sue Van Raes to explain how you can start to understand your body and begin eating in a way that is right for you.  Sue Van Raes, M.S. Clinical Nutritionist, is the founder of Boulder Nutrition. Sue’s credentials are rooted in science, psychology, leadership, and life experience. Sue completed her master's degree in clinical nutrition and founded Boulder Nutrition in 2003, and has successfully merged a combination of functional nutrition and food psychology into her private practice.  Sue is a certified yoga instructor and passionate yogini.  She weaves yoga classes and yoga philosophy into some of her programs and retreats. Sue specializes in women’s health and she aims to educate her clients on whole-body health and science-based nutrition, while also improving the overall relationship we have with food and our bodies.  Understanding that your nutrition has a big impact on your emotions can be a huge part of your healing journey. Sue and I really dug into the most important factors when it comes to your overall health and nutrition including stress, hormones, blood sugar levels, and the many ways you can improve your health with functional nutrition.  Make sure to tune in to hear all of the details!    Resources Mentioned:  Check out Boulder Nutrition Follow Sue on Instagram Check out Sue’s upcoming retreats   I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram!   Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/57

Did you know that your stress levels have a serious impact on your gut health?   This has been coming up a lot in my clinical practice, so in this solo episode, I am explaining the correlation between the two and then I am giving you some tips to prevent the negative effects of stress on your gut!   I am breaking down all of the different ways that stress can affect digestion, lead to a leaky gut, cause diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and more.   To really understand how stress impacts the digestive system, I'm starting by describing what's supposed to happen in a normal human being who's not stressed in terms of the digestive tract. This is really important to understand for anyone - digestive issues or not.   If you think that your stress may be impacting the way your digestive system performs on a day-to-day basis, you aren’t going to want to miss this informative and helpful episode.   I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram!   Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/56

Do you trust your body? Do you listen to your intuition?

Alysia doesn't believe in resolutions or quick fixes, but rather that we should love ourselves and make ourselves our #1 priority year-round.    Her wellness philosophy all roots back to self-love.

Alysia believes in wellness that empowers you and lifts you up. You eat well to feel well and you feel well to live well. Life is about living & enjoying - so finding balance is key!   We get into what it actually means to be intuitive, why you shouldn't say “yes” when you want to say “no”, how to make sure you’re checking in with yourself and so many more really important topics, so tune in!   Resources Mentioned:  http://drerinkinney.com/the-ultimate-stress-reset-workshop/ https://www.instagram.com/purelypope/ https://purelypope.com/   I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram!
