    Often in an emotional event, we experience an outpouring of energy. This could range anywhere from a burst of rage, a wave of sadness, or reaching the heights of joy. At its peak, these emotions can become almost a tangible energy that is coursing through the body. But often as quickly as it comes on, that same energy ebbs away. When this energy is associated with a traumatic event however, it’s often not as simple as letting that negative emotion go. So if it’s not released - where does it go?

    Emotions are complicated. They are often oversimplified into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ categories to help us make sense of them. In reality, emotions are simply information from our body that we can choose to respond to, or not - there’s no need for those labels! We’re encouraging you to feel all of your feelings on this week’s episode of the podcast. Emotions are helpful responses from our brain that can act as guideposts for positive action and adaptability, and can shape how we interact with the world around us. Whilst we must place a high value on these reactions, it’s important to remember that the power of how we respond to those emotions is ultimately up to us. We’ll be exploring what can happen if we attempt to ignore or block our feelings from occurring and aim to give you the confidence to embrace the full spectrum of your emotions. We’ll also break down the biochemistry of emotions, such as stress, and the influential relationship it has within the body’s physical processes. Not only are emotions able to provide information from our everyday reactions, but they can also be a critical deciding factor for our survival. We’ll be showing you the incredible way our brains can store memories of our emotional responses to shape the way we respond to life-threatening situations and increase our chances of surviving time and time again. Traumatic events like this can provide us with powerful information, but it can also have other long-lasting effects that are not as beneficial. When negative emotions are not released and resolved at the time of the event, the energy from that reaction becomes trapped in the body. This can lead to a multitude of chronic health issues and is often missed as a potential cause. We’ll investigate how past traumas may be stored within your muscles and systems and causing pain that can go unresolved for decades, and exactly how you can use emotional release techniques to resolve it - once and for all.

    Feel all of your feelings:
    🙂 There’s no such thing as ‘bad’ emotions: how to embrace the full spectrum of your feelings!
    😔 The biochemistry of emotions, and how they influence physical reactions
    😮 The link between our emotions and our survival instincts
    😐 How emotions are stored in the body - could it be behind your chronic pain?

    Thousands of years ago, life was as simple as predator versus prey - and you wanted to ensure you didn’t end up the latter. Our bodies evolved to have a natural reaction to dangerous situations to give us a fighting (or flight-based) chance of survival. Whilst our daily lives have changed radically from a hunting ground routine, this innate take-action system has been slower to adapt. So what happens when the body can’t quite discern between a real threat, and an email from your boss?

    In the middle of a particularly busy work week, you might be tempted to throw your hands up in the air and wonder: who even invented stress anyway? But without it, the human race would never have been able to grow and move forward, let alone even continue to exist. Whilst it can be difficult to place qualitative and quantitative determinants on stress levels, it’s important to consider that it can be vastly different from person to person. On this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re exploring stress and what it means for our physical and emotional health. We’re breaking down just exactly what stress is on a scientific level, and how this natural biological process interacts with multiple systems throughout the body as part of your sympathetic nervous system. Stress often has a negative connotation as something that is destructive and an internal factor that needs to be controlled and pushed down. Whilst this may sound fairly counterproductive, there are actually ‘good’ stress levels and situations that we need in our lives every day! We’ll look into how you can embrace positive stress in your life to help you grow and develop skills that improve your adaptation to the stress we experience on a day-to-day basis. But whilst we depend on short bursts of good stress to evolve, consistently being under stress takes a deeper toll on our bodies. We’ll be breaking down the different types of stress and how they affect the functionality of our systems, alongside the potential health issues that can arise from sustained stress. Stress is getting a PR makeover on this week’s episode, and we want you to learn to embrace and utilise stress to your own advantage.

    Don’t stress! We’re taking care of all of it for you:
    🤯 What is stress, and what does it biologically do to your body?
    🤯 Embracing stress as a normal and healthy part of life!
    🤯 The difference between short-term and long-term stress
    🤯 Understanding how stress and your emotional and mental health are linked

    The human body is fascinating in its functions. It can be considered like a numbers game. We have evolved 11 complex organ systems to walk, talk, breathe, digest, think, and live. These systems then require one or more of the thousands of types of biochemical reactions to occur. These reactions take place within our cells, and there are approximately 37 trillion cells within the human body. In each cell, there are a billion biochemical processes happening within a second. So when the nutrients needed for these critical functions are not available? Well, no wonder we don’t feel our best.

    Nutrient deficiencies can commonly be identified in physical symptoms, like weak bones, cramped muscles, and sore eyes. But some of the more intangible symptoms can be the most worrying - deficiencies can result in patients feeling like a shell of who they used to be. We’re continuing our investigative series into some of the most common nutrient deficiencies on this week’s episode of the Luminous Body podcast! We’ll be exploring all your deficiency questions and focusing on some well-known (and some less-known!) nutrients: calcium, magnesium, iodine, and zinc. We’ll be explaining how a lack of these nutrients might have you feeling physically and mentally, as well as the effect it has on your emotional well-being. These nutrients often work hand-in-hand with each other, and we’ll be exploring those relationships to help you understand the critical balances within your body. The innovation of medications in healthcare has changed the outcomes of most diseases. Rates of death and severe illness have been drastically reduced, and there are thousands of medications available to treat a wide range of diseases and disorders. These medications can influence multiple systems throughout the body, and it is important to know when to support your body in its fight for health. We’ll be taking a look at how medications can affect the absorption or availability of nutrients in your body, and which medications in particular to look out for. In a body of such complex systems, sometimes the answer can be simple. Supplementing where you’re lacking can be the key to turning your soul back on!

    Becoming aware of the signs from your body:
    🦴 Critical functions of calcium, magnesium, iodine, and zinc in our daily biochemical processes
    🦴 Possible causes of deficiencies in any of these nutrients
    🦴 Common symptoms associated with each, and how to recognise them in your own body
    🦴 How to support and supplement where you’re lacking, and restore your nutrient levels

    Our everyday lifestyles have changed radically over the last few hundred years. Where diet was based on simple, unprocessed foods, and working involved being outside in the sun, we now isolate ourselves away inside offices, commonly eating highly processed sugary foods. This then has a dramatic effect on our ability to absorb vital nutrients from the environment around us.

    We might not even consciously know something is missing, but our bodies do - and they’ll let us know about it, one way or another. Whether it’s an obvious sign, like heart palpitations, or smaller details, like cracked lips, learning to interpret your symptoms can be the key to unlocking the mystery of your nutrient levels - or lack of. This week’s episode of the podcast takes a closer look at some of the nation’s most common nutrient deficiencies: iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. A considerable amount of nutrient deficiencies are considered ‘modern’ deficiencies, as our food becomes less nutrient-dense than previous generations, and our lifestyles differ greatly. Deficiencies are becoming increasingly common, and being aware of signs and symptoms is critical for early diagnosis. We’ll be exploring how you can recognise this in your own body (including some less well-known indications) and also becoming aware of the at-risk population who may be experiencing a deficiency due to medication, dietary, or lifestyle influences. But it’s not always as simple as making changes in your everyday life - when the body is in critical need, it can become necessary to support it with specific supplements. We’ll share the best-proven supplementation you could incorporate into your routine as needed. Nutrients can be difficult to track, but having a healthy balance is critical for feeling vitalised and energised!

    We’re on the lookout for all the hidden details:
    ☀️ Critical functions of iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D in our daily biochemical processes
    ☀️ Possible causes of deficiencies in any of these nutrients
    ☀️ Common symptoms associated with each, and how to recognise them in your own body
    ☀️ How to support and supplement where you’re lacking, and restore your nutrient levels

    Our bodies are hosts for microscopic living organisms: we can’t see them with the naked eye, but they are constantly replicating throughout our systems every day. There are over 100 trillion bacteria in our digestive system alone - more than the amount of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. These bacteria live in a constant fight for balance between ‘good’ and ‘bad’, and our everyday actions have a profound effect on who wins.

    Restoring balance to our gut bacteria can be tricky, but the consequences of leaving imbalances to run rampant can wreak havoc on the whole digestive system - and the whole body. We rely heavily on ‘good’ bacteria to aid with our natural digestive processes, such as breaking down and absorbing nutrients, the motility of the food passing through, and keeping the levels of ‘bad’ bacteria in check. In this week for the Luminous Body podcast, we’ll be exploring how our environment and actions affect the balance of bacteria in our gut, and how we can use functional testing and holistic healthcare to identify and treat imbalances. We’ll be looking at a range of influences such as medications and diet to examine the link between bacteria and the perfect body host conditions. The workings of the bacteria in our gut are based on an incredibly complex system, that has widespread effects on not just the digestive processes but can extend as far as mental health disruption as well. We’ll also be discussing the prescription dietary protocols and supplementation that can aid in the healing and restoration of balance to the ‘good’ bacteria our gut requires to function healthily. This week shares another personal story, with Jaxson documenting his experience of suffering from SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) after multiple extensive transitioning surgeries, and the intense medication that followed. He shares his journey vulnerably and authentically and proudly shows how holistic healthcare helped to heal not just his gut, but his outlook on life for the better.

    We’re diving deep into:
    🔬Effects of our daily actions on our gut bacteria
    🔬Testing and diagnosing SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
    🔬Restoring balance with diet and supplements
    🔬The two-way relationship between mental health and your diet

    Over millions of years, our bodies have slowly evolved to best adapt to our surroundings. Each organ system has formed to support a critical function that is crucial for life. But as modern-day society rapidly changes, our bodies are quickly having to adjust to keep up with this ever-changing environment.

    In an increasingly toxic world, we can learn to take matters back into our own hands and support our own natural detoxifying systems. Heavy metals are found frequently in day-to-day items, and constant exposure can slowly accumulate in our tissues without us even knowing. Our excretion system works in overdrive to prevent these building to significant levels, but we can also work to reduce our risk as much as possible. In this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re discussing real-life examples of toxic overload, and how a holistic approach is key to ensuring the best outcome. We’ll be taking a look at potential exposure risks in your own environment, and how you can stay on top of managing your own levels of toxic metal buildup. Whilst our body is incredibly intelligent in its own processes, supplementing the natural detoxing systems can be a fantastic aid to reduce stress on the body and maximise results. We’re discussing common detox protocols, potential supplements and eliminations, as well as the use of alternative therapies such as kinesiology to help heal the emotional sufferings from these biochemical imbalances. This week’s episode also personally resonates with us on a deeper level: Hilary shares her own journey of experiencing mercury toxicity, and her own inspiring story of overcoming her symptoms and healing herself through holistic healthcare.

    We’re looking at real-life toxic overload:
    🧫 Common signs and symptoms of toxicity
    🧫 When to consider detox protocols and elimination diets
    🧫 Effects on your physical, biochemical, and emotional health
    🧫 Hilary’s personal journey with mercury toxicity

    When we absorb molecules from the air around us, the things we touch, and the food we eat, it would be remiss of us to believe that only those that are ‘good’ are taken up into the system. These exposures can have an accumulative effect and stay within us, hidden, for years to come.

    They’re all around us, even if we don’t realise it! But microscopic toxins and pathogens can play a significant role in our biochemical system function - or the lack of. Welcome to the Luminous Body podcast, where we are continuing with part 3 of our biochemical investigation series. Whilst we’ve been looking previously at the vital nutrients that we need to fuel our bodies every day, we’re taking a different approach today! Our world has an abundance of toxins and pathogens, and it’s almost impossible to avoid them. We’re going to be investigating these little toxins and pathogens that we come into contact with every day, and how they’ve become such a significant part of the world around us. By giving you some real-life examples, we’re encouraging you to take a deeper look into your own body and evaluate the sometimes hidden signs that you might be a (somewhat unwilling!) host for those microscopic travellers. From parasites to bacteria, to heavy metals and viruses, the influence and interference they are able to play throughout our biochemical pathways, from our brains and even taking up residence in our stomachs. Whilst it might sound unsettling (or even just a bit gross!), it’s critical to understand the roles that these invisible invaders are playing within your body so that you can then learn to manage that effect. Our bodies have evolved to have some incredible defence and detox systems in place - we want to work with them, not against them!

    We’re putting the facts under a microscope:
    🦠 What exactly are toxins and pathogens, and where are they found in our environment?
    🦠 Biochemical disruptors: how accumulations and copycats can interrupt our natural processes
    🦠 Detox and defence systems in our body, and how we can support our bodies
    🦠 How to spot symptoms of toxins and pathogens in your own bod

    It’s something that all of us do every single day, multiple times a day, and we often don’t even give it a second thought. But while it’s easy to oversimplify the act of eating food, it’s not as easy to overstate the critical importance of the millions of pathways that process that food and fuel every action we take.

    Our food has a long journey from start to finish in your digestive system, and there are so many factors that affect how successful that journey is in providing your body with the nutrients it needs to function efficiently. In this week’s episode, we continue our science-made simple series about biochemistry! After last week’s 101 introduction to biochemical pathways and nutrients, we’re now looking at how we consume and absorb those necessary nutrients every day. Taking a trip down the incredible process that is the digestive system, we’ll take a step-by-step approach to the path your food takes through it, and how our chemical pathways have evolved in precise ways to draw every possible nutrient out - and then put them to work. Not all foods are created equal, however! We’re also diving deeper into the value of those very nutrients and the varied nutrient density of our modern-day diet, and the common challenges that are facing us in a society fuelled by overconsumption and mass production. But no system is 100% perfect - we’ll be recognising the complex multifactorial effect of nutrient leeching, or nutrient loss, with a holistic approach that takes a broad view to heal the whole you and not just your symptoms.

    We’re breaking down and digesting all the facts:
    🧑‍🍳 Looking at the nutrient density of our everyday diet, and the different options available
    🧑‍🍳 The journey your food takes through your body, and how it uses all the nutrients you consume
    🧑‍🍳 Understanding the biochemical processes of your digestive system
    🧑‍🍳 How nutrients can be lost from the body - what holisitic healthcare can do about it!

    Have you ever heard the old saying, ‘you are what you eat’? It’s not just what you eat that makes a difference in your body: it’s the air you breathe, the sun on your skin, and the environment you live in. All of these factors fuel the millions of intricate pathways that keep our bodies alive every single day.

    What we do (or don’t) absorb can change the very foundations of our biology as humans.In this week’s episode we start our very first series for the podcast, where we aim to make science simple again! This series is all about breaking down biochemistry and the role it plays in our bodies and in our health outcomes. Biochemistry (the chemistry of all living things) relies on our intake from the world around us to create the energy required for our systems to function. Every system in our body has a purpose, and we’ll be discussing some of the most common biochemical reactions and how they influence our physical health and emotional wellbeing too. We’ll also be diving into which essential nutrients are needed for daily performance, where your body gets these nutrients from, and how they are then broken down and create the building blocks of life. Balance is nature's key to thriving - we also provide an insight on what happens when this balance is compromised, and how you can use holistic frameworks to support and transform your overall health.

    We start from the very beginning:
    🍏 Understanding what is biochemistry: our bodies’ systems and pathways
    🍏 Explaining the difference between macro vs micronutrients, and why we need both
    🍏 Acknowledging the role of environmental factors in our biochemistry makeup
    🍏 Recognising the effects of imbalanced biochemical systems

    Over the last few years especially, the risk of catching an infectious disease has changed the world. Whether that’s sanitising our hands constantly, staying three feet away from each other, or wearing masks, we’ve adjusted our lives to avoid potential illness out in society. But the statistics of leading health issues tell us a different story - we should be looking closer to home.

    Examining the choices that we make day to day is critical in reducing our health risks. Our environment is full of potential risk factors such as toxins in our diet or stress at work, and we can create maladaptive strategies to cope with the daily influx. In this week’s episode, we’ll be looking at the toll lifestyle diseases are taking on our bodies, from childhood through to adulthood. Whilst typical medicine focuses more on fixing the physical symptoms that arise from these illnesses, we’re taking a holistic view of the root causes of these issues - and how you can stop them in their tracks. Using one of our favourite (and easy to understand!) holistic frameworks, we’ll be breaking down the link between lifestyle illness and your physical, biochemical, and emotional health. Only by treating your body as a whole, can we heal the sum of your parts.

    We’ll be discussing:
    😷 Influences of lifestyle and environment on health risk factors
    😷 The leading causes of death and suffering across health groups
    😷 Poor mental health and the impact it can manifest in the body
    😷 The triad of health: the physical, biochemical, and emotional branches of healthcare

    Can you be truly healthy if you no longer have back pain, but you have emotional baggage from the breakdown of your demanding relationship? Could you be truly healthy treating a disease with rounds of stressful and invasive procedures, without having a support network around you to help manage the toll on your mental health?

    If someone asked you if you feel healthy, it might be easy to default to an ‘I’m not sick, so I must be healthy’ attitude. But working within that assumption means that health can only be defined as an absence of illness, and it assumes that is the maximum capacity we have for health as human beings - but we have so much more potential than this. We are going back to the basics of holistic healthcare in this week’s episode to define what ‘healthy’ could truly mean for you. We’ll also be explaining how blockages in your psyche could be stopping you from wanting to feel well, and how unravelling these self-limiting beliefs can help you discover and address the root cause of the issues. Only by treating all the parts of yourself can we create healthiness as a whole. Don’t accept the bare minimum for your health - there’s no limitation to vitality!

    We’re breaking down:
    👩‍🏫 Defining what being ‘healthy’ truly means: not just treating the physical aspects of health
    👩‍🏫 The need for community and connection that we require for our emotional health
    👩‍🏫 How we use pain and illness as a tool to express other unmet needs
    👩‍🏫 Using diverse healing options in a broad holistic approach

    The spread of medical misinformation can lead to uncertainty and confusion when seeking out healthcare. In some cases, it can be enough to deter patients from ever reaching out at all. But does it have to be that way?

    We’re debunking some of the most common myths and misconceptions in this week’s episode of the Luminous Body podcast, and how they can be holding you back from taking the next step towards healing. With so many different treatment options and health modalities available it can be difficult to sort fact from fiction, and when these beliefs are based in fear it complicates our perceptions even further as we reject reality and close ourselves off to new information. Whether it’s doubting your ability to heal, or comparing your symptoms with someone else, any set-backs can shatter our trust in the healing process. But it doesn’t have to be this way - we’re arming you with the knowledge you need, from understanding why treatment options might vary from case to case, to being aware of what a healing journey should typically look like. We’ll help you to take the next step with confidence, rather than fear.

    We’ll explore:
    🌱 How fear-based perceptions can cause barriers to accessing healthcare
    🌱 The body as an individual system, and the effect this can have on treatment plans
    🌱 How healing can present in a non-linear way
    🌱 The importance of trust in your healthcare provider, and yourself

    Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? This is your opportunity to learn about the immense power humans have to heal, and how you can unlock the secrets of the body and harness that energy to transform your life and elevate your vitality.

    Welcome to the first-ever episode of the Luminous Body podcast - we’re your hosts, Dr Hilary Conroy (B.ChirSc, M.Chiro) and Dr Jaxson Wearing (B.ChirSc, M.Chiro, M.Res). We’re starting this journey off with an introduction to holistic healthcare, and how taking a broad and collaborative approach when seeking treatment can elevate your outcomes from a simple ‘band-aid fix’ to a deep systemic wellness. As society pivots from a focus only on traditional methods, alternative health modalities are stepping up to fill the gaps in the system. We’ll be sharing both personal and patient examples of the benefits that can be gained from exploring a range of different treatment options. Why would we treat one symptom when we could address the body as a whole? Join us as we break down the importance of treating every aspect, from the physical, to chemical, to emotional - and how only then can we achieve true healing.

    We’ll explore:
    ☀️ Understanding the concept of the triad of health
    ☀️ The benefits of combining multiple health modalities
    ☀️ Autonomy and taking control of your own healthcare decisions
    ☀️ Practical applications of holistic healthcare in realistic situations

    Get ready to unlock your inner light and start healing from within!

    Are you feeling lost on your healing journey? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to be working? Step out of the dark and into the light - this is the place to find the answers you seek, and start healing from within!

    Welcome to the Luminous Body podcast, with your hosts (and married couple!) Dr Jaxson Wearing and Dr Hilary Conroy, who will be your expert guides in holistically transforming your health and restoring balance back to your body.

    Dr Jaxson is a neuro-spicy, transgender man, and Dr Hilary is a high-school dropout with severe anxiety - but both have smashed through the stereotypes and challenges life has thrown at them, and are here to empower you to do the same! They’ll be sharing their own personal experiences and learnings on how they’ve broken down barriers and built success instead.

    Bringing decades of experience along with them, the dynamic duo are the passionate driving force behind their holistic wellness centre in Sydney. As society pivots away from traditional medicine, and more and more towards alternative medicines, they’ll help you navigate the wide range of heath-care available, and shed light on the best practices for your journey. Their backgrounds give them a wealth of knowledge in both the chiropractic and kinesiology worlds, but also in living life authentically and unapologetically!

    So get ready to join in every Monday for a new episode - they’ll be breaking down everything you need to know about the mind, body, and soul (alongside some incredible guests!), giving you all the answers and tools you need to embark on your own transformative journey.

    Get ready to discover your inner light and start healing from within!
