The Mind-Body Connection: Healing Is More Than Physical

With Dr. Hilary Farberow-Stuart, Naturopathic Physician

What if your symptoms were trying to tell you something deeper?

With more than 35 years in naturopathic medicine, NLP, energy psychology, and hypnotherapy, Dr. Hilary Farberow-Stuart explores the connection between mind, body, and spirit. They discuss emotional healing, intuition, energy awareness, and why lasting healing often begins at the root cause rather than the symptom, including the inspiration behind her Illuminated Healing Systems.

If you only address the physical, long-term and chronic issues may involve other levels that also need to be addressed.Dr. Hilary Farberow-Stuart

How to Change the Identity That's Keeping You Stuck

With Dr. Shane Ram, Behaviour Scientist

Why do people stay stuck even when they already know what to do?

Dr. Shane Ram explains why lasting change takes more than information, motivation, or strategy. Pollyanna and Shane look at how identity, beliefs, behavior, and the nervous system shape follow-through, why many programs stop at the level of knowledge, and why deeper transformation happens at the identity and belief levels, including his Meta-B Coaching System.

People do not act differently from their identity.Dr. Shane Ram

Knowledge is not enough. We have to become the person who can live it.Pollyanna Chavez

Healing Requires More Than Treating the Pain

With Dr. Lawrence Barnard, Osteopathic Physician

What if pain is only part of the story your body is trying to tell you?

Osteopathic physician Dr. Lawrence Barnard shares why lasting healing can require more than treating symptoms. Pollyanna and Dr. Lawrence discuss the body's self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms, why chronic pain is not always explained by a scan, how reframing and hypnosis can change a patient's experience of pain, and why every person is approached as a whole and changing system.

Your body has a self-healing, self-regulating mechanism.Dr. Lawrence Barnard

No two patients are ever the same, and no patient is the same on two different visits.Dr. Lawrence Barnard
