Is Trauma Hindering your Ability to Heal | Dr. Kim Trager with Dr. Christine Schaffner | Episode 113

Emotion plays a role in everything we do, whether we are aware of that emotion or not. Sometimes we underestimate exactly how past trauma impacts our emotions. Research shows that what your brain produces depends in part on your thoughts, feelings, and expectations. If you're sick, but you have a positive mindset, and you believe that you'll get better, your brain is likely to produce chemicals that will boost your body's healing power. Negative thoughts and emotions can keep your brain from producing some of the essentials that help your body heal. Our emotions have specific frequencies that can accumulate over time and cause dysfunction. When these frequencies can be released, healing can occur. Joining Dr. Christine Schaffner on the show today is Dr. Kim Trager, one of the physicians at Immanence Health. In this episode, we get to know Dr. Kim better and learn how physical traumas and scars can cause emotional congestion or blockages to occur and hinder healing. Dr. Kim Trager is a healer who has a depth of knowledge about all aspects of healing body, mind, and spirit. She embraces a patient's unique health presentation and creates a personalized healing framework that supports the journey towards optimal health. Her consultations are designed to find the presenting complaints and create an attainable healing protocol. Known for transformational healing, she uses her vast background and years of experience to simultaneously heal mind, body, and spirit.

Reversing Chronic Illness and Autoimmune Disease l Dr. Sina McCullough with Dr. Christine Schaffner | Episode 112

With over 100 varying conditions, Autoimmune Diseases have reached epidemic levels. Many are related to your food and gut biome (which makes up almost 80% of your immune system). It's easy to see that in today's world, "modern medicine" is focused on symptom relief. For many patients, their doctor-patient conversations focus on how to live with or "manage" their symptoms when a diagnosis is made. In fact, most patients automatically assume that the only option they have is to figure out how to live with their diagnosis for the rest of their life - or until a "cure" for their condition can be found. What if there was a way to potentially reverse an autoimmune condition? Joining Dr. Christine Schaffner on the show today is Dr. Sina McCullough. She shares her own autoimmune disease story, how she found healing through nutrition, and how she completely reversed her illness without medication. They also discuss how our food system is too complicated and what to look for on labels to determine if what you're eating is truly gluten-free. Dr. Sina McCullogh is the creator of the popular online program GO WILD: How I Reverse Chronic & Autoimmune Disease (click here to learn more - and if you are interested in the program, use the code Schaffner50 to save $50). . She has also authored two books about our food supply, HANDS OFF MY FOOD and BEYOND LABELS (co-authored with Joel Salatin). After nearly dying in her early 40's, it's amazing to experience Dr. McCullough's vitality and hopefulness after fully reversing her autoimmune disease (without the use of medication). She has dedicated her life to helping others avoid the health challenges she faced and offers consultations and her online coaching program that educates others on how to reverse chronic and autoimmune diseases. She also offers cooking workshops, Corporate Healing programs, and free educational material on her website: DrSinaMcCullough.com To get the full version of the show notes - please visit http://www.drchristineschaffner.com/Episode112

Get Better Sleep, Less Stress with Crystal Fusion Light Therapy | Mike Broadwell with Dr. Christine Schaffner | Episode 111

Our bodies have a natural, built-in ability to heal themselves. Every cell in the human body works tirelessly to keep us at a natural healthy balance. And these cells have the ability to heal or replace themselves, all to keep our bodies functioning at optimal levels. To create good health, from the inside out, we must remove the things that hinder that optimal performance. Stress is one of the main culprits that prevent us from being our best selves. Research has shown that emotional and physical stress is at the root of most diseases. Unless we address our stressors directly, how can we provide a healing outcome? In today's episode, Dr. Christine Schaffner talks with Mike Broadwell of Solara Gem. They discuss how crystals can support your body from pain and stress, how crystal fusion light works, and how it can help your wellness journey.

What if you could now use the ElectroMagnetic Frequency (EMF) pollution to your advantage, by making this technology biocompatible? In this episode of the Spectrum of Health Podcast, Dr. Christine Schaffner sits down with Dr. Mindy Beck to discuss how to harness the EMF pollution and wasted frequencies emitted from your devices, and transform them into beneficial information vital to the body's self-healing process.

Dr. Beck first witnessed the devastating effects of artificial EMR when she was treating clients with chronic Lyme disease.

Through her journey as a practitioner, her main focus came to be chronic disease with an emphasis on detoxification and teaching her clients home care techniques. After four years of seeking solutions for her ailing patients, Dr. Beck was introduced to Biosyntonie and soon after to Pierre Nicolas himself. Knowing Pierre's methods were the answer to helping not only to protect her clients, but humanity from the destructive nature of manmade EMR, Dr. Beck retired from private practice to dedicate herself full time to the mission of launching Tilys Biotech (now YouMatrix).

Why We Dream - Dr. Bob Stickgold with Dr. Christine Schaffner | Episode 98

Why do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do dreams serve? Questions on the origins and meaning of dreams are as old as humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when nineteenth-century scientists first attempted to unravel them. Our brains spend the entire time we're asleep processing the memories we formed during the day before, strengthening them, filing them, discovering patterns, and generally figuring out what they mean all so that they will be more useful to us in our future waking lives. In this week's episode of Spectrum of Health, Dr. Christine Schaffner talks with Dr. Bob Stickgold to discuss how our dreams play an integral role in our nightly memory processing, as well as how these new memories might fit with what we already know.
