In this episode of Wellness ReImagined, we sit down with somatic and ancestral healing facilitator Gregg Westwood, author of Rooted Soul. Gregg unpacks what ancestral healing actually means in real life, not in vague spiritual jargon. He explains how unprocessed trauma, racism, colonial patterns and family pain live in the body, emotions and nervous system, then shows how forgiveness and truth telling can shift the whole lineage.
We walk through how the body reveals inherited imprints that the mind edits out, why protection and nervous system regulation matter, and how creative expression, breath and movement help restore flow instead of keeping pain stuck. Gregg also shares what he has learned from Indigenous traditions about community, earth connection and reading subtle signs from nature.
If you are noticing repeating family patterns, feeling responsible for everyone or carrying shame that is not fully yours, this conversation offers a clear, grounded entry point into ancestral healing work that is both practical and deeply respectful.
About the Guest:
Gregg Westwood is a multidimensional facilitator whose work integrates somatic psychology, ancestral healing, Indigenous wisdom and creative embodiment. With more than three decades of personal and professional practice, he supports people to release inherited emotional, physical and spiritual burdens, reconnect to their life force and reclaim sovereignty in their bodies.
Drawing from experiences in places like Ecuador and long term work with ceremony and somatic processes, Gregg focuses on relational healing. His lens is simple. When one person heals, that work resonates backwards to the ancestors and forwards to future generations. His book Rooted Soul explores this intergenerational journey in depth.
Key Takeaways  :
Ancestral healing starts with truth. Naming how family patterns, racism, colonialism and past harm impacted you is a core first step, not an optional extra.
Forgiveness is not bypassing. When Gregg forgave his grandfathers, it freed him and them. Their energy shifted from being a burden to becoming real support behind his back.
The body stores lineage. Physical issues like heart disease, high blood pressure and patterns like addiction often repeat through families. Somatic work helps interrupt that cycle.
Healing is relational, not just personal. When you clear inherited pain, you are also honoring ancestors and reducing what future generations need to carry. It becomes “our healing,” not only “my healing.”
Indigenous wisdom centers the whole. Many Indigenous cultures prioritize community, earth connection and shared responsibility for healing instead of hyper individual self improvement.
Nature is part of the conversation. Animals, wind, subtle signs outdoors can reflect what is moving in your field if you are willing to pay attention.
Protection and nervous system regulation are non negotiable. Creating energetic boundaries and using conscious breathing helps you feel safe enough to actually feel and release.
Movement, voice and breath keep life force flowing. Stagnation happens when emotion stays locked inside. Embodied practices reopen flow and support integration rather than overwhelm.

In this episode of The Wellness ReImagine, host Shreya sits down with Dr. Eleanor Haspel-Portner, a clinical psychologist and spiritual teacher who has spent over five decades integrating science, energy work, astrology and esoteric wisdom. They unpack what it really means to live in energetic alignment, why emotional reactivity blocks spiritual evolution and how the Tree of Life, Noble Energy Maps and multi dimensional awareness can guide people back to their core design.
You will hear how Dr. Haspel-Portner bridges rigorous research, statistics and clinical practice with aura perception, psychic development and meditation to create a grounded path of spiritual growth. This conversation is a direct look at practical tools for tuning into your own soul, making aligned decisions and manifesting a life that actually fits who you are. Ideal for listeners searching for real world applications of energy healing, not vague spiritual talk.
 
About The Guest  :
Dr. Eleanor Haspel-Portner is a PhD level clinical psychologist, researcher and spiritual mentor who has worked with thousands of clients worldwide for more than 50 years. Trained in human development, statistics and clinical work, she later immersed herself in astrology, Jungian analysis, hypnosis, sex therapy, coaching, Reiki and subtle energy work. She created the Noble Energy Map system, validated on tens of thousands of cases, which links the Tree of Life, multidimensional consciousness and early life energetic imprinting. Her mission is simple and uncompromising. Help people live from soul, not from conditioning.
 
Key Takeaways  :
Energy healing becomes truly effective when it is grounded in clear method and observation, not fantasy. Dr. Haspel-Portner merged statistics, clinical psychology and lifelong psychic perception to document what actually works in spiritual practice.
Most people are not seen at the depth of their soul. When someone finally listens at that level, emotional symptoms often soften because the person feels recognized and can begin to live from their authentic energetic design.
The Noble Energy Map shows that by three months of age a baby holds the full potential for self actualization. Later dysfunction often comes from social and familial conditioning that pushes people away from their original energetic blueprint.
Emotional reactivity is a signal, not an identity. When emotions spike, the work is to pause, ask what feels misaligned and speak clearly about needs instead of collapsing or attacking. Truthful inner alignment matters more than pleasing others.
Daily spiritual hygiene is non negotiable. Practices like meditation, prayer, self reflection and asking “Am I going in the right direction” keep you oriented to your higher purpose so you can manifest your dreams without abandoning yourself.

In this heart-centered conversation, Kristan Fiandach (founder of Feel Good People vibration-therapy mats) shares her journey from chronic stress and overwhelm to a life built on nervous-system regulation, intuitive living, and simple daily rituals. She explains why rigid wellness trends often create more stress than relief, how a consistent evening wind-down can transform your sleep and next day, and why the sensation of “safety” (through soothing touch and vibration) is the fastest way to shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-restore.
Key Takeaways
The most outdated wellness belief: being overly structured and trying to “do all the things” (cold plunges, lemon water, sunlight gazing, etc.) actually adds stress instead of reducing it.
Simplicity is powerful: sometimes the deepest healing comes from just being present, sitting in nature, or enjoying time with loved ones—no fancy tools required.
Your next day starts the night before: putting devices away at least 1 hour before bed + a calming evening routine dramatically improves sleep quality and daily resilience.
Vibration therapy mimics soothing human touch, sending a “you are safe” signal to the brain and quickly activating the parasympathetic (rest & restore) nervous system.
When life feels chaotic, write down your ideal day on paper—then use that vision as a compass to realign your actual routines.
Emotional and physical signals are intertwined: learn where stress lives in your body (for Kristan it’s tightness in the chest + compulsive yawning) so you can catch dysregulation early.
True transformation rarely needs grand gestures; quiet consistency and returning to what feels authentic is what changes lives.
To get unstuck, regulate your nervous system first—only then can you clearly hear your intuition and know the next right step.

In this powerful and compassionate conversation, licensed mental health therapist and spiritual guide Whitney Walker (host of the Women Waken podcast) dismantles common myths about addiction. She reveals addiction not as moral failure or weakness, but as a deeply human attempt to soothe unresolved pain and trauma. Whitney explores how all addictions—substances, eating disorders, relationships, or control—begin as self-protection, how codependency and trauma fuel the cycle, and why true recovery is the courageous “long walk back to yourself.” Blending clinical expertise with divine feminine and spiritual wisdom, she offers hope that reclaiming wholeness is possible for everyone.
Key Takeaways
Addiction is fundamentally about seeking something external to manage internal emotional pain, almost always rooted in unprocessed trauma.
Every addiction starts as self-protection, not self-destruction (e.g., restricting food after being shamed, drinking to quiet overwhelming feelings).
Codependency and addiction are two sides of the same coin: both involve looking outside yourself for regulation, identity, or worth that only you can provide internally.
Recovery is not linear; it requires a rock-solid personal decision to stop abandoning yourself and to face feelings instead of numbing them.
Spirituality in recovery means listening to emotions as your essence speaking—addiction disconnects us from our true self, while sobriety is the journey of returning home to who we really are.
The first honest step toward freedom is simple but profound: acknowledge there is a problem. Denial keeps us stuck; truth sets the healing process in motion.
You do not need to be “fixed” to be worthy of love—self-acceptance (trauma, mistakes, and all) is the foundation of lasting recovery and a magnificent life.

In this episode of Wellness Reimagined, host Shreya sits down with Dr. James Lovinsky, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and founder of Opus Total Health, to break open one of the most misunderstood topics in wellness. Gut health is not just digestion. It is pattern recognition, emotional intelligence, and our internal messaging system. Dr. Lovinsky connects the dots between chronic stress, gut imbalance, anxiety patterns, and the powerful role of body based healing. The conversation explores how acupuncture, functional medicine, and personal awareness help people restore vitality in a world that rewards burnout. This episode is designed for high performers, anxious minds, and anyone tired of treating symptoms without understanding the root cause.
ABOUT THE GUEST  :
Dr. James Lovinsky is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and founder of Opus Total Health. With expertise in functional medicine, emotional health, and integrated healing, he helps people reclaim vitality by reconnecting mind and body. His work merges ancient frameworks with modern clinical insights to support anxiety, gut disorders, burnout, and chronic stress.
KEY TAKEAWAYS  :
• Gut health directly influences anxiety because the gut contains a dense network of neurons that communicate with the brain• Emotional release during acupuncture often unlocks stored memories and unprocessed stress• Chronic stress disrupts digestive function, sleep cycles, and emotional regulation• Acupuncture and functional medicine create measurable shifts in the nervous system• Healing is not intellectual, it is embodied and relational• Western medicine often separates mind and body, but integrated healing shows they operate as one• Lifestyle habits like sleep, movement, and stress recovery directly shape gut function• Trauma and long term emotional tension can manifest as IBS, reflux, or inflammatory gut symptoms• Body based healing complements talk therapy by accessing patterns that words cannot reach• Dr. Lovinsky’s personal journey from tech burnout to holistic healing demonstrates how internal awareness transforms health• Gut intuition is real because visceral sensations communicate emotional truth• Restoring the gut often resets mood, clarity, and emotional resilience• Many symptoms labeled as random are actually signals of nervous system dysregulation• Acupuncture can create immediate shifts in grounding, calm, and emotional balance• True wellness requires connection with the whole body, not just targeted symptom relief

In this episode of The Wellness Reimagined, host Shreya sits down with author and retreat facilitator Sean Blackwell to unpack a confronting question. What if bipolar disorder is not just a life-long diagnosis, but also a potential spiritual awakening.
Sean shares how a scuba accident, an intensive Landmark Forum seminar, and a sudden spiritual crisis led to a psychiatric label of bipolar or schizophrenia. Instead of staying in the illness narrative, he later discovered the work of Dr Stanislav Grof and began to see his “psychosis” as a spiritual emergency that cracked open buried fear, trauma and a sense of oneness.
Together, Shreya and Sean explore holotropic breathwork, conscious emotional clearing, and why he keeps psychiatry in the loop while working on the spiritual side of bipolar healing. This is a grounded, unfluffy conversation for anyone who has been told “this is just your brain chemistry” and quietly wonders if there is more to the story.
 
About the Guest:
Sean Blackwell is the author of “Bipolar Awakenings” and a holotropic breathwork facilitator who has spent nearly two decades working with people experiencing bipolar disorder and psychosis. After his own spiritual emergency in the 1990s and years of study of Stanislav Grof’s work, Sean began supporting individuals through private healing retreats and online programs that address trauma, bioenergetic blockages and the spiritual dimension of mental health, while respecting the role of psychiatry and medication where needed.
 
Key Takeaways  :
Sean’s first “bipolar episode” began after a Landmark Forum exercise on fear triggered an old scuba diving trauma, leading to intense sensory changes, a feeling of oneness and eventually a full spiritual crisis that psychiatry labelled bipolar or schizophrenia.
He was hospitalized after being found naked in a hotel ballroom preparing to “meet God”, yet he left after four days without long-term medication and went on to rebuild his life and career, seeing the event as a breakthrough rather than a breakdown.
Discovering Dr Stanislav Grof’s concept of “spiritual emergency” helped Sean reframe his experience from chronic illness to a meaningful, though destabilizing, spiritual process.
When his nieces in Brazil went through similar episodes, he supported one niece medication-free with empathy and containment, which opened his path to helping others with psychosis and bipolar labels.
Holotropic breathwork, done lying safely on a mat with trained facilitators and strong music, uses intensified breathing to relax the ego so unconscious traumatic material can surface and be released through movement and vocalization.
Sean sees the roots of bipolar disorder in bioenergetic blockages in the chakra system and works to release stored trauma in the body, rather than only focusing on symptoms.
He draws a clear line between the biological paradigm of psychiatry and the spiritual paradigm of his work, encouraging people to keep medical exams and medication decisions with their doctors.
Conscious emotional clearing, a body based process using movement and sound with conscious feelings, is his self practice tool that helps people slowly reconnect to emotions that may sit underneath bipolar patterns.
For some, simply hearing their “delusions” described on Sean’s YouTube channel is deeply validating and becomes the first step out of shame and into an active healing journey.
Sean’s core message. a diagnosis is not the end of your story. for some people, it might be a spiritual call to heal old trauma and remember who they really are.

In this episode of Wellness Reimagined, host Shreya sits down with Registered Nurse and holistic women’s wellness coach Sharon Neilson to unpack what most women keep dismissing as “normal stress”. Sharon explains how insulin resistance develops quietly in the background while women juggle careers, caregiving and complex relationships. She connects the dots between chronic stress, perimenopause, blood sugar, weight gain, poor sleep, hot flushes and that constant feeling of running on empty.
This is a grounded conversation about women’s bodies, nervous systems and hormones, not a quick fix. Sharon shares her own story of burnout, divorce and “holding it all together” until her body forced a reset. Listeners will learn why the nervous system sits at the root of so many symptoms and how gentle practices like restorative yoga, boundaries and nervous system care can help women move from survival mode to genuine energy and emotional stability.
About The Guest  :
Sharon Neilson is a Registered Nurse with over three decades of acute hospital experience and a holistic women’s wellness coach. Drawing on her clinical background and her own journey through a difficult marriage, divorce and burnout, she helps women understand the link between stress, hormones, insulin resistance and emotional wellbeing. Through her brand Eternal Her and her program Awaken Her Sharon blends science, stress recovery, feminine energy and nervous system healing so women can feel at home in their bodies again.
Key Takeaways  :
Insulin is a hormone “key” that unlocks cell doors so glucose can enter and fuel energy. When cells become less sensitive to insulin, more sugar stays in the bloodstream and the body stores it as fat.
Perimenopause lowers estrogen and progesterone which also reduces insulin sensitivity, so the same way of eating can suddenly lead to weight gain, energy crashes and mood swings in midlife.
The body does not know the difference between running from danger and answering a hundred emails. Chronic low grade stress keeps women’s nervous systems in fight or flight so insulin and blood sugar stay dysregulated.
Many women carry stress like a backpack, taking on more responsibility without boundaries until they hit a “cliff” of burnout, poor sleep, hot flushes, brain fog and emotional disconnection.
The nervous system sits at the root of physical, emotional and spiritual symptoms. Tight muscles, headaches, irritability, self doubt and constant comparison are all signs the system is overloaded.
Restorative practices like yoga, slowing down and nervous system “deactivation” can crack the protective shell women build around themselves, helping them feel their bodies again and reconnect with their true desires.
Healing is not overnight. It often reflects ten to fifteen years of accumulated stress and survival strategies, so women need realistic expectations rather than aiming for unrealistic body ideals.
Learning your own patterns of stress, emotion and energy gives you a personal blueprint to manage insulin resistance risk, hormone shifts and life demands over the long term.
How To Connect With The Guest  :
You can connect with Sharon and explore her work through:
Her brand and community: Eternal Her and The Eternal Her Collective on Instagram and Facebook
Her Facebook group for women who want deeper support and updates on new offerings
Her website where she shares blogs and details about her eight week program Awaken Her
Listeners can join her community, read her writing and reach out if they want specific topics explored or support around stress, perimenopause, insulin resistance and nervous system based self care.

In this episode of The Wellness Reimagined, host Shreya sits down with holistic stylist, author, and energy healer Lyndle Bryan to unpack what true transformation actually looks like when it starts from the inside and then shows up in the mirror.
Lyndall shares how years of burnout, high testosterone, and a painful divorce pushed her to shift from constant "doing" to grounded "being". She explains how nervous system regulation, energy healing, and conscious beauty practices can change a woman's presence, not just her appearance. From high intensity hustle to slow, embodied living, Lyndle shows why your glow is less about products and more about emotional regulation, self awareness, and nervous system safety.
If you have ever looked in the mirror and felt disconnected from your reflection, this conversation breaks down a practical, inside out roadmap toward alignment, not perfection.
 
About the Guest  :
 
Lyndle Bryan is a holistic hairdresser, make up artist, energy healer, and author of "From Pain to Power". She is the founder of Purely Polished, a mobile wellness business that blends high end beauty services with inner work, energy healing, and nervous system awareness. Through her one to one transformations, Lyndle helps women move beyond their stories, release emotional stuckness, and align their energy, lifestyle, and outer image with who they truly are.
 
Key Takeaways  :
From doing to beingTransformation starts when women shift from constant output to conscious presence. Slowing down, noticing emotions, and stepping out of chronic fight or flight is the baseline for any sustainable change.
The body keeps the scorecardHigh testosterone, burnout, and nervous system overload showed Lyndle her lifestyle was out of alignment. Lab results and exhaustion became data, not drama, pointing her back to nervous system repair and softer rhythms.
Pain as a catalyst, not a life sentenceHer divorce and heartbreak did not define her, but they did force her to choose herself. Emotional pain became an initiation into authenticity, boundaries, and a deeper capacity to hold space for others.
Beauty is energetic first, cosmetic secondConscious products, lower toxic load, and energy healing work together. When emotional weight shifts, faces soften, eyes brighten, and the entire field around a person changes, often more than any contour or facial.
Safe spaces accelerate transformationOne to one settings, home studios, and mobile services make clients feel safe enough to be honest. That safety lets deeper stories surface, limiting beliefs be reprogrammed, and new identity, style, and presence truly land.
Everyday practices beat complicated ritualsSimple tools like mindful breaths before getting out of bed, walking in nature, drinking water, and checking in with what the body actually needs are the real foundations of inside out transformation.

In this episode of The Wellness Reimagined, host Shreya talks with transformational coach, podcaster and author Irina Shehovsov about the real mechanics of emotional healing. Irina explains why emotions are "energy in motion", how suppressed feelings get stored in the body like files in a computer, and why chasing "positive thinking" often becomes emotional bypassing.
They dive into healing after heartbreak and divorce, reclaiming identity after years of people-pleasing, and creating a life that is aligned with your own values instead of old roles. You will hear practical tools for releasing trapped emotions, using gratitude and micro-habits to shift your energy, and designing daily rituals that support emotional, physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. This is a grounded roadmap for anyone ready to stop reliving the past and start writing the next chapter with intention.
About the Guest:
Irina Shehovsov is a transformational coach, bestselling author and host of the podcasts Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life with Irina. After losing herself in roles as spouse and parent, her divorce became a wake-up call to rebuild from the inside out. She now helps women rise from heartbreak, release suppressed emotions, reclaim their identity and create a life that feels true, not performative. Through her books, coaching and speaking, Irina focuses on emotional energy work, practical mindset tools and everyday habits that support sustainable healing.
Key Takeaways . Healing Beyond the Mind  
Emotions are alert mechanisms. There are no "bad" emotions, only signals showing when you are out of alignment with your higher self and something in your life needs to change.
Suppressed emotions do not disappear. They get stored in the body, showing up as tension, pain or eventually illness if you keep ignoring the early signals instead of feeling and releasing them.
Emotional bypassing is learned early. Many of us were taught to be "strong", stay quiet or not cry, so we normalised suppression. As adults, that pattern blocks intimacy, joy and authentic self-expression.
After a breakup or divorce, identity often collapses. Real healing starts when you ask, "Who am I without these roles?" and actively design a life based on your own values, dreams and gifts.
Simple daily practices create deep change. Gratitude, conscious breathing, journaling, movement, meditation and small joy-based habits compound over time and rewire how your mind and body hold emotional energy.
Living in the past keeps pain active now. Replaying old stories re-triggers the same emotions in your nervous system. Freedom comes from acknowledging what happened, then choosing who you want to be next.

In this episode of The Wellness Reimagined, host Shreya sits down with Dr Kevin Smith, a functional medicine practitioner who shifted from traditional chiropractic care to a root cause model of healing. They unpack why so many patients stay stuck in chronic issues like high blood pressure, metabolic problems and fatigue when treatment focuses only on drugs and symptom control. Dr Smith breaks down how advanced lab testing, nutrition, sleep, stress management and lifestyle design can reduce dependence on medications and create measurable results in real life. This is a straight talking conversation about why the current system struggles with chronic disease, what functional medicine actually does differently, and how patients can start asking better questions about their own health story.
 
About The Guest:Dr Kevin Smith is a doctor of chiropractic and functional medicine practitioner who has been in practice since 2001. After years of treating pain and injuries, he began seeing patients with complex, unresolved health issues that conventional models could not fix. That pushed him into deep study of nutrition, wellness, lab based diagnostics and lifestyle medicine. Today he runs a functional medicine practice focused on identifying root causes of chronic conditions and using data driven protocols to restore metabolic health and vitality.
 
Key Takeaways:
Functional medicine shifts the focus from symptom control with drugs to asking why a problem exists in the first place and treating the root cause.
Traditional insurance based care often limits testing and pushes quick prescriptions, which frustrates both patients and doctors when chronic issues persist.
Common drivers of chronic illness include poor diet, over reliance on fast food and processed foods, lack of movement, poor sleep and unmanaged stress.
There is no one size fits all diet plan. Some people do better with Mediterranean style eating, others with paleo or ketogenic approaches, but everyone benefits from real, minimally processed foods.
Foundational lab work using blood, urine and sometimes stool testing helps identify hidden issues in metabolism, hormones, gut health and inflammation instead of guessing.
Mindset matters. Patients who feel defeated by past medical experiences can still improve when they adopt a growth mindset and commit to consistent changes.
Acute emergencies like heart attacks or trauma are best handled by conventional medicine, while chronic conditions often respond better to functional and lifestyle based care.
Clear communication, listening deeply and educating patients on their own data builds trust and helps them transition from a pill first mentality to a partnership based healing model.
