Not Alone With Melissa-Sue Methven

“Silver fillings” sound harmless until you learn they can be made of up to 50% mercury. This episode follows that realization into a bigger conversation about how mercury amalgam became standard in dentistry, why many European countries have restricted it, and why it is still commonly used in the US, often shaped by insurance and Medicaid coverage.We also explore the history most patients never hear. Early mercury-based dental pastes replaced tooth extraction in the 1800s, but industrial exposure in other fields revealed serious neurological effects, raising long-standing questions about safety and informed consent in modern use.For those with existing fillings, we cover what safe removal actually involves, including the SMART protocol and why proper training matters. We also discuss alternative materials like composite resin and ceramic options, along with functional medicine approaches some people use to support the body after exposure.If this changes how you think about dental care, share it, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review.✨ About the Host & Ways to Work TogetherMelissa-Sue Methven hosts Not Alone with Melissa-Sue Methven, and is an author, speaker, and breathwork facilitator guiding emotional, nervous-system, and spiritual healing.

Fear and relapse after the pink cloud fades are often blamed on a lack of willpower, but this conversation challenges that idea by asking a more important question: what happens when the brain itself is depleted. In this episode, we sit down with Lori, 29 years sober and author of Born Addict, to explore how unresolved biochemical imbalances can keep people stuck in anxiety, cravings, and emotional flatness even years into sobriety, and how targeted nutrition can change the trajectory of recovery.We connect personal story with research, from the long depression experienced by Bill Wilson to the work of Abram Hoffer using niacin, and modern findings from Kenneth Blum on Reward Deficiency Syndrome. When dopamine is under-resourced, the brain keeps searching, often swapping alcohol for sugar, nicotine, caffeine, or constant stimulation, unless those neurotransmitter systems are properly supported.Lori shares a practical and realistic framework that starts with stabilizing blood sugar through food, rebuilding with foundational nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and omega 3s, and using targeted amino acids to support dopamine and serotonin so cravings ease and clarity returns. If sobriety feels anxious, exhausting, or joyless, this episode offers a grounded reminder that feeding the brain is not optional, it is the foundation that allows therapy, community, and spiritual growth to actually take hold.✨ About the Host & Ways to Work TogetherMelissa-Sue Methven hosts Not Alone with Melissa-Sue Methven, and is an author, speaker, and breathwork facilitator guiding emotional, nervous-system, and spiritual healing.

Fear blocks healing, and the dental chair makes it obvious.

In this powerful episode, we explore the fascinating intersection between science, sound healing, and the frequencies that influence the health of our cells. Sound healer Katie Jo joins me to break down what many people think is “woo woo,” and shows us how sound is actually one of the most ancient — and now scientifically studied — tools for restoring balance in the body.Together, we talk about how vibration, frequency, and resonance affect the nervous system, why hospitals around the world are integrating sound therapies, and how the sounds we can’t hear may still be impacting our cellular health. From everyday noise pollution to intentional healing frequencies, we uncover what the body is responding to beneath the surface.We also explore the sacred role of prayer, breath, and intention, and how these practices — without making medical claims — can create measurable shifts in the body’s stress response. Whether through sound bowls, spoken prayer, humming, or simply tuning into silence, we discuss how these practices help your system return to peace, clarity, and coherence.If you’ve ever wondered:“Is sound healing real? Why does it feel so calming? Can frequencies actually shift my body? — This episode is for you.This conversation is the bridge between faith and physics, ancient wisdom and modern research, and the seen and unseen energies that shape our well-being.✨ Come with an open mind and an open heart — because what you learn here might be exactly what your body has been needing to feel more grounded, peaceful, and alive.✨ About the Host & Ways to Work TogetherMelissa-Sue Methven hosts Not Alone with Melissa-Sue Methven, and is an author, speaker, and breathwork facilitator guiding emotional, nervous-system, and spiritual healing.

Today, we're thrilled to welcome Meagan Skidmore, a powerful Life Transformation Coach whose own journey of awakening began in 2019 when her child came out as queer (LGBTQIA+). Raised in a conservative faith tradition, this revelation shattered Meagan's foundation and forced her to confront the cognitive dissonance between her upbringing and her inner truth.Rather than rebuilding her life according to external expectations, Meagan chose to embrace her authentic self and listen to her inner wisdom. Now, through her hybrid coaching program and community known as "The Other Side of Maybe™," she guides others to awaken to their truth, break free from confining boxes, and step boldly into their power.Meagan believes that purpose comes from within, and that we are whole simply because we exist—not because of what we do. Today, she'll share insights on living authentically and unapologetically, helping us recognize when we're lying to ourselves and how to embrace our genuine selves instead.Please join me in welcoming Meagan Skidmoore! TakeawaysMeagan's journey began with a text revealing her child's identity. The initial reaction was one of fear and isolation. Navigating relationships became challenging as her child came out. Creating a supportive family unit was essential for their bond. Society needs to improve in supporting LGBTQ youth and families. Education is key to understanding gender and sexuality. Faith can evolve alongside personal experiences and beliefs. Advocacy is a crucial part of Meagan's journey as a mother. Every individual's story is a gift that should be respected. Misconceptions about LGBTQ identities often stem from a lack of understanding. Gender identity is more than just biological sex. Parenting should focus on the child in front of you. Neurodiversity is a different way of experiencing life. Support systems are crucial for parents of queer children. Personal growth is an ongoing journey. Finding your voice is essential for self-advocacy. Daily habits can significantly improve mental health. Resources can guide personal development. Embracing spiritual guidance can enhance well-being. Living authentically leads to a more fulfilling life.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Podcast Goals 04:43 Meagan's Journey with Her Child's LGBTQ Identity 12:24 Navigating Relationships and Community 17:31 C✨ About the Host & Ways to Work TogetherMelissa-Sue Methven hosts Not Alone with Melissa-Sue Methven, and is an author, speaker, and breathwork facilitator guiding emotional, nervous-system, and spiritual healing.
