"Unleash Your Healing Potential": The Podcast
About the Show:
Within each of our bodies is a tremendous healing potential.
Just like our bodies know how to heal when we cut ourselves, they also know how to heal bigger health issues, many of which we are led to believe by Western medicine are "permanent." However, sometimes things like trauma, stress, and environmental factors get in the way of that healing. Thus to truly heal, we need to find ways to unleash that healing potential again.
The show covers a variety of topics-- from the role of mindset in healing, to sharing stories of those who have healed from health issues labelled permanent by Western medicine, to interviews with guest experts who have knowledge outside of Lyn's expertise, to talking about some of the latest research into how our bodies work. Everything is focused on helping YOU to unleash the potential your body has to heal itself!
This podcast was formerly called "You Are Not Your Diagnosis" but has been changed to a new name to broaden the focus beyond just chronic illness related topics.
