Tonight, we welcome back Roberta Mittman L.Ac, CNC, PLLC, a renowned alternative healthcare practitioner and wellness coach. In this informative conversation, Roberta shares two favorite ways to realign your body and mind toward wellness and balance. First, we chat about acupuncture, a traditional Chinese method utilized to relieve a variety of health issues and symptoms, such as stress or pain. While the exact mechanism behind how it works is not yet entirely understood, there is evidence that it can impact the nervous and other bodily systems and acupuncture has been shown to have a calming effect. Acupuncture provided by a licensed, trained professional has been shown to be safe and effective. It can help achieve a relaxed state and encourage the release of your body’s innate ability to combat the stressor or symptom, and it’s also been said that it balances your body’s energy or ‘qi.’Roberta also shares a detailed explanation of Rescripting, her proprietary comprehensive mental-strength training method.

Frey, MD, author of the popular book "The Skincare Hoax" and is often called the Ralph Nader of the skincare industry. In this episode, Dr. Frey shares many surprising truths and tips on maintaining healthy skin.First and foremost, our skin is often a reflection of our overall well-being and plays an essential role in our health. It serves as the body's first line of defense against harmful external factors such as pathogens, UV radiation, and physical injuries. And, all too often, its appearance influences our self-esteem and social interactions. Dr. Frey shines a light on everything you need to know about keeping healthy skin. From debunking myths like those that make big promises but don't deliver results to sharing practical tips, just some of what Dr Frey and your host, Sharon Sayler, cover are: Why our skin is a vital organ: yes, sk

Did you know that being a highly sensitive person can be a superpower? It means you're more in tune with your surroundings, like people's moods, voices, and body language. Do you quickly pick up on the needs and feelings of others? Do you become easily overwhelmed by sensory input such as a beep-beep-beep repetitive sound, bright lights, and or strong smells? Or do subtle changes in your environment affect you more than most? Maybe you’ve been called ‘too sensitive’ more than once (or twice)... At least 20% (1/5th) of the population is considered highly sensitive. So, you are not alone.This week, we welcome Linda Binns, Breakthrough Energy Expert, and HSP Expert, to share the latest research and her own survivor-to-thriver experiences as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).

That’s just one of the questions we ask tonight’s guest, an expert in the field of clinical pain research, Dr. Afton Hassett, PsyD. She is the author of the new book Chronic Pain Reset: 30 Days of Activities, Practices, and Skills to Help You Thrive.
As a chronic pain researcher, Dr. Hassett noticed while studying established treatments for chronic pain and developing new approaches that exciting research discoveries rarely reach those who could benefit the most. Chronic pain affects nearly 50 million people in the U.S. alone. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that new cases of chronic pain occur even more frequently than new cases of diabetes, hypertension, and depression. Just like autoimmune, chronic, or long-term pain affects all areas of one’s life, that’s why Dr. Hassett promotes a multipronged approach to pain self-management. 
Research shows that simple, at-home changes, including effective and easy-to-implement habits such as paced breathing, easy sleep hacks, m
