46. "Is My Mind or Body Unwell?" with Vital-Side Founder, Lindsay Mitchell

Are you feeling that your healing journey is at a standstill? This week, Lindsay discusses how the relationship between our brains and bodies can impact our physical symptoms. Lindsay also dives into how she coaches people with chronic illness at Vital-Side and the individualized approach she takes to get you started on your nervous system regulation journey. Lindsay Mitchell is the founder of Vital-Side, a membership program that empowers those with chronic illness and limbic system impairment (LSI) to retrain their brains out of the chronic stress response. When we're operating from the parasympathetic growth-and-repair response, we can start connecting with our innate healing properties… but we need simple & structured tools to access these. That's the information she gives you in Vital-Side; she uses her training in medicine as a physician assistant, work as an NLP practitioner, and experience having recovered from Lyme disease to assist others in learning how to shift out of a state of stress and into a state of resilience and balance within their nervous systems. Show Notes: -Lindsay's story of overcoming Lyme disease -Addressing chronic symptoms of fatigue, pain, brain fog, anxiety, dizziness, and more -3 pillars to healing: physical body, nervous system, trauma processing/ subconscious beliefs -Each pillar of healing is not exclusive to one another - the brain and body are always communicating -We cannot treat each pillar separately & expect results - Using the body as a vehicle- reframing chronic symptoms & chronic illness in a way that benefits our own physiology -Addressing the nervous system does not mean we need to start processing immediately -We can use understanding of our limbic brains to shift & change the way we feel - more information on chronic inflammation & Limbic System Impairment (LSI) -Receiving information from our internal and external environments through our 5 senses always occurs, and then we ask the question, "Is this something that I need to be afraid of?" -We can get clear on WHY we are using a more holistic approach & connect with our own self-worth Resources: -Link to the Rewire: The Vital-Side Membership -YouTube Video: Uncover your natural resilience in Vital-Side - Omar Akther's Episode 43 Rewire Podcast - Lindsay Mitchell interviews Dr. Daniel Amen -Lindsay's Instagram: @myvitalside -Visit Lindsay's website -Cait's Instagram: @caitrossco -Visit Cait's Website Join our community: bit.ly/rewirethepodcast Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: bit.ly/rewiredisclaimer
