How Your Fascia Stores Pain, Trauma and Grief in Your Body–and How to Release It
When I was in my 30s, I used to run half marathons. I just loved the discipline and feeling so fit and strong … developing my cardiovascular fitness was amazing. I used to hate the idea of running and avoid it at all costs!
After a couple of years of running, I started developing nagging injuries that knocked me off the road.
I used Zyflamend, an awesome anti-inflammatory, to control the swelling, and while it helped, ultimately, I had a problem with my form that had to be corrected so I wouldn’t keep injuring myself. .
To help my body heal, I was referred to an amazing massage therapist who explained how all of this muscular tissue all over my whole body functions as one whole organism, called fascia.
And how, for us to fix the fascia around my joints that was overly-tight, he was going to have to work on the fascia on the opposite side (and end!) of my body!
Today we're going to talk to my friend Shivan Sarna about fascia. This is going to be a fantastic conversation if:
* You have been dealing with chronic pain in your life
* You’re experiencing these little nagging injuries from working out
* You're dealing with something bigger, like pain that might be tied to an autoimmune condition
* You’ve got a lot of scar tissue that is creating other issues for you
* You're getting older, and you just feel like everything's stiff and brittle
Shivan is going to teach us about fascia, how it stores trauma and stress, and what we need to help it heal and recover. In this episode:

Magic Tricks for Creating More Support When You’re Stressed to the Max!
Women naturally bring supportive energy to relationships.
And because of social conditioning plus the heart and soul we put into what we are creating, we also become overly accountable for others’ happiness and well-being.
We do it all…
This pushes us to keep giving, giving, giving that supportive energy … and we often lose track of our own needs. We give more than we’re getting.
This is depleting and soul-crushing, leading to cycles of burnout and stress that aren’t good for our bodies or our health.
This was especially true for me in my early adult life.
I had a belief that I was really strong and capable. I could handle a lot of things.
And people could count on me. I was resilient. I never gave up easily.
I was a natural leader who didn't know how to hold others accountable or to make sure that my needs were met, too.
Over time, the stress created so much burnout.
When I started to realize that I wasn’t managing my life well, I began making big shifts around what I expected if I was going to assume leadership or be accountable for results.
Have you been in a situation where others relied on you for accountability and support… bringing you to the edge of burnout?.
This episode with my fabulous friend, Dr. Deborah Fryer will shift your mindset around creating support when you’re stressed to the max… to help you more powerfully receive what you need to keep showing up powerfully for others.
In this episode, we’ll discuss:
* How to make yourself visible, valuable and valid to create mutually fulfilling relationships
* One liberating way to communicate and get what you need without feeling guilt, shame and selfishness
* The common misconception about getting the support you need–and how these toxic beliefs keep you stuck
* 2 effective ways to make a relationship work when it’s too important to let go
* A handy worksheet that will help you let go of disappointment, anger and frustration towards others to relieve stress and avoid burnout

Where Do We Go From Here? Recovering from the Effects and Trauma of Lockdown… and How to Take Care of Our Mental Wellness
It’s been almost three years since the world lockdown. And yet, despite things “returning to normal,” we are still dealing with the adverse side effects of the pandemic.
I was devastated when it was first announced that schools would close and everyone should stay at home.
I remember thinking, “what about those families where home isn't a safe place?”
“What about the women who are going to be locked in with an abusive husband?”
“What about the children locked down with parents with marriage struggles, who witness lots of fighting and now whose parents can’t escape each other?”
This pandemic has inflicted a lot of psychological trauma. And not only that, it has also created moraeus health issues.
Many women inside the Healing Rosie FB Group have lamented gaining 20-40lbs during the lockdown.
Not having a normal routine, not moving regularly, and being afraid and unable to cope well has led many of us to stress eat.
We’ve seen a lot of families broken apart, marriages disintegrate and people dealing with relentless depression and anxiety.
Collectively we are just starting to rebuild our lives from the ashes of a really destructive time, and many are still struggling to cope.
If you’re struggling, I want you to have some guiding light to help you find your way out of these struggles.
How do we manage all of this stress and anxiety and depression and the dissonance that we're feeling in our heads from a really traumatic time?
I invited Dr. Lindsey Elmore, a leader in the mental wellness movement, to show us how to reduce the risk of mental health challenges.
We’re going to explore:
* The shocking statistics on mental illness that resulted from the pandemic
* What they should have told us to do during the pandemic instead of spreading panic
* Gained weight during the pandemic? Take this to help shred belly fat
* 4 easy steps to reducing stress. HINT: These steps also help your mental well being
* How healing this part of your body will help your mental health

Breathwork Rewired: How to Rewire Your Nervous System to Get Better Sleep, Dissolve Stress and Help Your Body Heal
I went over 144 hours (that’s over 6 days) with no sleep. I was coming unraveled emotionally, weepy and overwhelmed… Why can’t I sleep???
I tried every trick to get some shut-eye after a botched operation. I was at my wit’s end, so I called a dear friend and high performance coach for help.
After hearing about my story and telling him everything that’s happened to me, he told me: you need to breathe.
He told me the breath pattern I needed to do while meditating, and I hung up, laid down on the floor in my bedroom and started practicing.
In about an hour, I felt myself dozing off. So I got up from the floor and crawled into bed.
That was the first time since my surgery that I was able to sleep.
When I started hearing my colleagues talk about the amazing benefits of breathwork, and even incorporating it as a spiritual practice, I knew this was something powerful that we all need to learn!
In this interview, I’m talking with my friend Josh Trent about the power of breathwork for re-regulating your nervous system so you can induce a parasympathetic response to get better sleep, manage stress and start healing.
Together, we explore:
* Start your day right! Why “Circular Breathing” is a crucial
practice to add to your morning routine
* If you’re new to breathwork, learn this simple strategy to get you started
* Need to reconnect with your partner? This breathing exercise done together will help you feel more connected with each other
* Get BETTER sleep in less than 5 minutes! Use this breathing technique to prime your parasympathetic nervous system for great sleep
* Bye-bye depression! Use the “two-part breath” exercise to release negative emotions and feel at peace

Cheat Codes: How to Detox the Right Way from Sneaky Stressors Like Mold, Heavy Metals, Environmental Toxins & More
There is a piece to this whole puzzle that has been baffling to me as a patient for the last decade.
For years, I have struggled to get past the biohacking “props” like thyroid and hormone support, along with so many supplements to support energy and help me with my symptoms…
We were damming the waters, but not uncovering why we needed a dam in the first place.
I knew something deeper was going on, but I didn’t know how to uncover what that was.
And the doctors didn’t help.
But even after I learned about upstream stressors, I didn’t know how to uncover what was going on with me …
Or what I should do if we found anything.
When you start asking around, you’ll find that very few functional medicine practitioners actually know how to go this deep and help you heal.
Ashley Smith has been working with Dr. Dan Pompa for years as his head health coach, and she pulled out the stops with this interview to share her best tips with us! In this interview, we’ll be tackling questions like…
What are upstream stressors and how do I properly test for them??
What should I be looking for when vetting for practitioners to help me?
How do I heal these stressors?
I want you to feel empowered around finding someone who can help you in this journey.
Most importantly, you are the person who’s ultimately responsible for your health. So I want you to be aware of the root causes of why 90% of us are dealing with symptoms.
At the end of the day, it’s your body… and when you know what’s happening inside, you can take charge and create your healing.

How to Tame the Voices Inside Your Head to Heal Your Life
I’ve been through times in my life where I’ve felt like the stress is overwhelming, and I’m stuck with it.
How do I shift responsibility and lighten my load when there are people counting on me?
How do I shift unhealthy dynamics that seem deeply ingrained in my relationships?
Where are the resources going to come from to get my health back on track?
I met my dear friend Mark England five years ago during a workshop he was leading for the team at Paleo f(x)™.
He was unpacking for us the fascinating way we use language to create our reality… and how we can literally bend our reality with words. 👀
His powerful mastery of language resonated deeply with me. The way he explained how you could exercise so much power in your life by what you say and how you say it was mesmerizing.
Words are power. Our words create our reality … and understanding how to “cast spells” that create the future we want to live in is empowering and inspiring!
And maybe even a little confronting… because we are all SO responsible for our lives.
After hearing Mark speak, I began watching how I was using words to create my reality … and how I used words to trap myself in a reality that I didn’t want to live in.
Overall, I’ve seen the magic in the way that he teaches all of us to be really powerful in the face of our circumstances.
I’m so excited about this topic because Mark is going to teach us some profound stuff today about how our everyday language can either work for us or against us.

Female Hacks To Heal Your Metabolism
Have you ever thought your metabolism was broken?
“Getting older” is often blamed, but the truth is, our bodies are burdened by a toxic load that increases as we age, derailing our hormones, impairing our immune system and allowing all sorts of chronic infections to give our metabolisms a serious beat-down.
And healing our metabolisms can feel daunting.
Dr. Mariza Snyder is an expert on metabolism and hormones, and she’s giving us a sneak peek into the metabolism hacks she used to bounce back after the birth of her baby boy.

Osteoporosis Cheat Codes: How to Rebuild Your Bones
My mom has osteoporosis, and I have been digging in with her over the last year to figure out what we can do to support her body and rebuild her bones.
It seems like every woman I know over 65 has osteoporosis. There is so much misinformation out there in conventional medicine land on what to do to manage this disease… things like:
🦴 Take calcium, Vit. D and Fosamax
🦴 Go for a walk
🦴 Do weight-bearing exercises
🦴 Have bone density scans every year
None of these things are going to effectively rebuild your bones. But this is the “advice” you get from most doctors.
It has been really empowering to learn the strategies that WORK to move the needle for those diagnosed with this dis-ease!
Today, we peel the layers on osteoporosis and osteopenia with my friend Kevin Ellis, the Bone Coach.
He shares his battle to fight what doctors predicted when they diagnosed him with osteoporosis at the age of 30.

The Secret Fears That Keep Us Sick & Struggling – And How to Heal
“You’re going to grow up, go to college, and not depend on a man!”
This was the message my mom started programming me with from a young age… 6, 7, 8 years old… born out of her trauma of struggling in a marriage where there was never enough money to cover our family expenses, married to a man who thought it was “women’s work” to help out at home with the kids, housekeeping and shopping.
Growing up, my mom was a strong woman … SUPER woman, who did it all raising 4 kids: worked full time, managed our finances, kept up the house, handled all the shopping, helped us with our homework, took us to church.
She carried a heavy load, and as the firstborn, I was mom’s little helper, taking care of my siblings, making sure everyone did their chores and lightening mom’s load wherever I could.
My mom’s grandmother (my great-grandmother) was married to an entrepreneur. He owned a furrier in downtown Columbus, Ohio, and they were a very affluent family of six children.

The Missing Link: How to Optimize Minerals for Energy, Brain Fog & Optimal Detox
We often hear how important it is to optimize our mineral levels, particularly magnesium.
So imagine my surprise when I did a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Test … and my magnesium levels were high.
Which meant my cells weren’t absorbing the magnesium I was taking. 😳
When Barton Scott, founder of Upgraded Formulas, reviewed my lab results, he pointed out that my trouble concentrating for longer periods of time was likely related to my adrenals struggling.
Which, unbeknownst to him, my adrenal function has been chronically low in part because of the untreated mold.
The a-has I’ve gotten around the importance of optimizing our minerals with proper testing just keep on coming.
We need optimal mineral balance for our bodies to successfully detoxify (!!!), balance our hormones, improve adrenal function, optimize our thyroid …

Revealed: How to Find a Practitioner to Heal Flabby, Foggy and Fatigued – For Good!
I’ve spent an insane amount of time trying to navigate the conventional medical system to find the right doctors or practitioners to help me heal…
I’ve found some help, particularly around bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and thyroid support.
Here’s a dirty little secret I wish I would have realized a decade ago: what we all need to help us go deep and uncover our deeper, root-cause stressors is someone trained in functional nutrition.
This is different than someone trained in functional medicine … I’ve been underwhelmed by a lot of people “trained in functional medicine.”
Functional nutrition is the art of running the right labs to ascertain the overall metabolic health of the body; uncover the deep, hidden stressors and design protocols to bring the body back into balance so it can heal itself.
Many functional medicine doctors are educated in lifestyle management which definitely has its place, but when you’re metabolically compromised, you have to go m…

What to do when it’s overwhelming to heal
When my flabby, foggy and fatigued symptoms started appearing, changing my lifestyle and paying for labs + supplements + practitioners was not in my budget.
I was so scared that I’d get so sick, I couldn’t work.
It was intimidating to consider the investment that I would need to make to get my life back…
On top of that, I lacked “people” resources. Finding doctors in Nashville who practiced outside the conventional medicine framework of “your labs are normal” was maddening.
I felt overwhelmed and it was a challenge to find my power to step up and go all-in on retaining my quality of life.
So I did what I’ve learned to do when reality seems overwhelming: I went on an inward journey and decided that not only did I need things to be different… I chose to KEEP THE FAITH that I could change the landscape of my life one decision, one step at a time.
And one of the biggest a-has my journey has given me was around my own relationship with being supported by other people…

Why a Lifelong Vegan Started Eating Meat to Heal from Chronic Mystery Symptoms
I wanted to share Monica’s story with you the moment I heard it…
With her father at the forefront of the animal rights movement in the US, she lived her childhood and early adult life with a purely plant-based diet.
She was an athlete and a dancer in her teens and she enjoyed a happy, healthy adult life.
Until at 34, she tried a trendy detox program that triggered a system crash and decade-long downward spiral ridden with mystery symptoms that no conventional doctor she went to could identify… she was told countless times that her labs were normal and she was fine, all the while experiencing:
😣 Heart palpitations
😣 Poor sleep (2-4 hours at night)
😣 Skin coming off her face and bleeding for no reason
😣 Inability eat solid food
😣 Alarming weight loss
😣 Inability to concentrate or focus

How to Improve Flabby, Foggy and Fatigued with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
In 2013, I gained 45 pounds in three months … out of the blue. It was scary and overwhelming, and I had a really challenging time finding a doctor to help me understand what happened to my body.
When I was finally diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure and put on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), I began releasing the 45 lbs that I mysteriously gained.
As my journey unfolded, I struggled with falling asleep and staying asleep at various times, and optimizing my hormones moved the needle and helped me to sleep.
As I’ve been on-the-hunt to figure out why I’ve struggled with brain fog and weight-loss-resistance, my quality of life has dramatically improved because of BHRT.
And when one of my root cause practitioners (*cough*male*cough) suggested I get off hormone support while I was working with him, I KNEW that it would be a disaster …
Because without hormones, I’m not sleeping, my brain doesn’t work, and my body gets super inflamed. (When I told him tha…

How to Find a Good Doctor & Leverage Your Health Insurance
I heard “your labs are normal” after sharing my flabby, foggy and fatigued symptoms with my doctor more times that I can count.
It was MADDENING and I went through a bunch of doctors early in my journey, looking for someone who would run the right labs and help me uncover why my body was struggling so much.
I felt gaslit; no one took my desire to figure out what was wrong with my body seriously.
I was even dropped from someone’s practice when I begged for more help.
I wanted so badly to know what I could do to get my energy, vitality and life back!
Over time, I started meeting a lot of women who were going through the same struggle
And I was blessed to meet my friend Gretchen Bronson, who taught me how to find a good doctor and to better-leverage my health insurance to cover things like labs, out-of-network doctors and even some treatments that were outside the standard of care.

How to Reverse Weight Loss Resistance
I have scale trauma.
After years of uncontrollable (and unjust) weight gain and worse – the inability to release the weight with the methods that used to work …
I’m avoidant when it comes to the scale.
Imagine my elation when after Dr. Keesha’s 21-day liver cleanse, I lost 10 lbs …
But that wasn’t the best part.
30 days later, after avoiding getting on the scale again because I fully expected it to start going back up …
I’d lost another 8 lbs.
I was STUNNED.
The last decade, managing my weight has been a struggle. It’s taken all this time for me to deconstruct what’s been going on with my body and weight gain … all along, my body in its wisdom has been saving my life by storing all this toxicity in my body fat.
Toxicity is a tricky thing, because it’s almost invisible … our lifestyles make it SO hard to see.
