The Health Confidential with Simone Gisondi

In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi explores the profound connection between trauma, healing, consciousness, and the body's capacity for transformation. This powerful conversation challenges conventional perspectives on recovery, inviting listeners to consider how unresolved emotional wounds, chronic stress, and limiting beliefs may impact physical health. Joining Simone is a former military serviceman, trauma survivor, and spiritual guide who shares his extraordinary journey from a violently abusive childhood and years of high-risk military service to severe injuries, PTSD, chronic pain, addiction, and a period of being wheelchair-bound. After a lifetime of suppressing emotions and living in survival mode, his world unraveled, leaving him searching for a new path forward.Everything changed through a series of profound near-death experiences and spiritual awakenings that transformed his understanding of himself and reality. Through meditation, visualization, shadow work, gratitude, and a commitment to healing from within, he began reclaiming his health and rebuilding his life. Together, Simone and her guest explore the relationship between trauma, nervous system regulation, self-belief, spirituality, and the body's ability to heal. This inspiring conversation offers hope to anyone facing physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges and serves as a reminder that healing, resilience, and transformation often begin with the choices we make within ourselves.KEY TAKEAWAYSSovereignty is an inner state, not a circumstance—true freedom begins by reclaiming ownership of your mind, heart, and choices.The body responds to clear intention, belief, and loving direction more powerfully than many people realize.Unprocessed trauma can manifest as physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering until it is acknowledged and addressed.Gratitude and unconditional love can create profound shifts in physiology, perception, and wellbeing.Surviving adversity can reveal a deeper sense of purpose, resilience, and connection to life's greater meaning.BEST MOMENTS"The body is always listening to the instructions we give it.""My greatest breakthrough came when I stopped running from my pain and faced it directly.""Gratitude changed everything—it shifted how I saw myself, my life, and my future.""I realized I was more than my injuries, more than my trauma, and more than my past.""Healing began when I chose love over fear, responsibility over blame, and purpose over suffering."GUEST INFORMATIONJeff a former military serviceman, trauma survivor, and spiritual teacher dedicated to helping others heal through mindset, self-awareness, gratitude, and personal transformation. Drawing from his own journey through PTSD, chronic pain, addiction, and recovery, he now guides others toward greater resilience, purpose, and inner freedom.HOST BIOSimone Gisondi is a seasoned coach, published author, and host of Health Confidential.

In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi explores the powerful connection between emotional healing, spiritual awakening, nervous system regulation, and physical recovery through the extraordinary healing journey of Malka Shivdasani. This conversation dives into holistic healing, mind-body medicine, trauma release, meditation, and the emotional roots of chronic illness and cancer.After years of living as a people-pleasing wife, mother, and business owner, Malka experienced a major spiritual awakening following her son’s devastating spinal cord injury in 2006. Searching for healing beyond conventional medicine, she immersed herself in meditation, emotional healing, subconscious reprogramming, and the teachings of renowned spiritual teachers including Joe Dispenza, Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, and Bruce Lipton. Years later, in 2024, Malka was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, including lymph node involvement and a rectal tumor. Rather than pursuing chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, she chose a deeply integrative path focused on meditation, hypnotherapy, trauma healing, emotional release, energetic healing, nervous system healing, and holistic medical support. Through deep inner transformation and unwavering trust in the body’s innate intelligence, Malka eventually received scans showing no visible cancer.Together, Simone and Malka discuss colon cancer healing, emotional trauma, spiritual healing, self-love, subconscious beliefs, and how chronic stress and self-abandonment can impact long-term health. This episode is a powerful exploration of holistic cancer recovery, personal transformation, and reclaiming the body’s ability to heal.KEY TAKEAWAYS• Chronic people-pleasing and self-abandonment can contribute to emotional and physical imbalance.• Trauma and unresolved emotions may remain stored in the nervous system and body.• Meditation, subconscious healing, and spiritual practices can support emotional transformation.• Healing often requires addressing emotional, energetic, mental, and physical health together.• Listening to intuition and inner alignment can play a powerful role in personal healing journeys.BEST MOMENTS• “There's this wisdom, and it's so beautiful inside that what we carry, the power that we carry.”• “Of course nothing worked, and then we started going inward, of course the way out is in.”• “So, as we were healing, we were healing the community.”• “It was feeding the fear and doing it anyway, because I knew I did not want to do chemo.”• “These thoughts are just coming in to be released. It's all about a healing process.”GUEST INFORMATIONMalka ShivdasaniSoul alignment coach, meditation teacher, and founder of Infinite Love meditation center helping individuals reconnect with their inner healing power through meditation, emotional healing, trauma release, and spiritual transformation.Instagram: malkasshivHOST BIOSimone Gisondi is a coach, published author, and host of Health Confidential, dedicated to exploring root-cause healing through nutrition, mindset, emotional wellness, and holistic health practices.#ColonCancer #ColonCancerHealing #Stage3ColonCancer #CancerRecovery #HolisticHealing #MindBodyHealing #MeditationHealing #TraumaHealing #EmotionalHealing #SpiritualHealing #IntegrativeMedicine #NervousSystemHealing #SubconsciousHealing #AlternativeHealing #HolisticHealth #WellnessPodcast #HealthPodcast #CancerJourney #SelfHealing #JoeDispenzaSimone is a Holistic Health Practitioner and researcher exploring the deeper biological, emotional, and environmental roots of disease.On this podcast, she examines how health, trauma, consciousness, lifestyle, and biology interesect and how the instructions we give the body through food, environment, belief, and emotional regulation shape our health outcomes.Her work focuses on helping individuals understand the real drivers of illness and reclaim their health through customized lifestyle, nutritional, and mindset changes.If you’re navigating a health challenge and would like personalized guidance, Simone offers a limited number of private consultations.

In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi explores financial stress through a powerful and often overlooked lens—its direct impact on human health. Rather than viewing money challenges as purely external or practical issues, Simone reframes financial pressure as a chronic stressor that affects the nervous system, sleep, mood, inflammation, relationships, and even the body’s ability to heal. Through a deeply personal story of her parents’ divorce and the sudden loss of financial security, she illustrates how quickly money-related stress can push individuals into survival mode, shaping every decision from a place of fear rather than clarity.Joining Simone is Mika Altidor, entrepreneur, vegan café owner, and co-host of Get Obsessed, who shares her perspective on financial stress behind the scenes of entrepreneurship and success. Together, they explore how inherited money beliefs, lack of financial literacy, and predatory systems keep people stuck in cycles of stress and poor decision-making. This conversation bridges financial health and physical well-being, offering a new perspective on how true healing requires both inner work and greater awareness of the systems we navigate daily.KEY TAKEAWAYSFinancial stress is a health issue that directly impacts the nervous system and overall well-being.The body records money-related pressure, even when we try to ignore or downplay it.Inherited money beliefs and past experiences shape current financial behaviors.Avoidance or reactive decision-making can deepen both financial and health challenges.Financial literacy is essential to avoid predatory systems and create long-term stability.BEST MOMENTS“This is not just a money issue. It’s a human issue—and very often, a health issue.”“The body records that pressure, and you cannot separate healing from the conditions a person is living under.”“A person living under financial fear is living in chronic survival—and that affects everything.”“We live our entire lives through our nervous system… including how we make and experience money.”“Stress is stress. The body just knows it’s in survival mode.”GUEST INFORMATIONMika AltidorEntrepreneur, vegan café owner, podcaster, and creator of manifestation-based tools.

In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi explores type 2 diabetes through a deeply unconventional lens—challenging the belief that chronic illness is purely genetic or permanent. Instead, this conversation invites listeners to consider the powerful role of identity, belief, and the mind–body connection in shaping health outcomes. Framed as an educational discussion, this episode encourages self-inquiry, personal responsibility, and working alongside trusted practitioners while exploring holistic approaches to healing.Joining Simone is Amber Hayes, who shares her powerful journey from a type 2 diabetes diagnosis in 2019—with an A1C as high as 12.9 despite medication—to restoring her health through inner transformation. After years of fatigue, weight gain, and believing she was “genetically destined” for illness, Amber began to question her identity and adopted new practices including meditation, affirmations, self-love, and fasting. Within months, her A1C dropped to a normal 5.5. Together, Simone and Amber explore the role of belief, the nervous system, and energetic inputs—such as thoughts, words, and environment—in influencing the body’s ability to heal.KEY TAKEAWAYS• Belief and identity can directly influence physical health and disease outcomes.• The body responds to the stories, diagnoses, and expectations we accept as true.• Self-love and emotional healing are essential components of physical recovery.• Fasting can support both physical reset and deeper emotional processing.• Thoughts, words, and environmental inputs act as signals that the body responds to.BEST MOMENTS• “I decided one day that it was enough. Diabetes does not exist in my body.”• “You don’t have a soul. You are a soul that has a body temporarily to experience this place.”• “When you don’t love yourself, you tear down your own cells.”• “Our spoken word is the will of the soul… the body has no choice but to respond.”• “Your body is waiting for instruction… it will move toward that blueprint.”GUEST INFORMATIONAmber Hayes - Speaker and advocate for mind-body healing, sharing her journey of reversing type 2 diabetes through identity work, self-love, and holistic practices.HOST BIOSimone Gisondi is a seasoned coach, published author, and host of Health Confidential.

In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi explores addiction recovery through a powerful and unconventional lens—seeing addiction not as a failure of willpower, but as a nervous system response to unresolved emotional pain. This conversation dives into the deeper connection between trauma, identity, and coping mechanisms, offering a holistic perspective on healing addiction from the inside out. Designed for educational purposes, this episode encourages listeners to explore root-cause healing, self-awareness, and integrative approaches to emotional and physical well-being.Joining Simone is Andrew Spaulding, a successful rock musician and record label owner, who shares his real-life journey through alcoholism, sobriety, and identity transformation. Andrew opens up about generational trauma, emotional suppression, and how environments like the music industry and nightlife culture normalized his drinking habits. He reveals how one simple decision—to stop drinking for a single day—became the foundation for long-term sobriety, weight loss, and lifestyle change. Through deep inner work, including the teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza and a Kundalini awakening experience, Andrew describes how true addiction recovery happens through a shift in identity, where healing the mind and body leads to lasting transformation.KEY TAKEAWAYSAddiction recovery begins by understanding addiction as a coping mechanism, not a personal failure.Nervous system regulation and trauma healing are essential for long-term sobriety.Generational trauma and early-life experiences shape addictive behaviors.Environment and social circles can normalize addiction and delay awareness.True healing comes from identity transformation, not just behavior change.BEST MOMENTS“You know, addiction is not a problem to the user… it’s a solution.”“I didn’t want my kids to grow up with that… I didn’t want them to make that conclusion about me.”“I woke up one day and said, I’m not gonna drink.” “I’m gonna go one day… I’m gonna give myself a chance.”“When that identity corroded… the spirit became alive in the body, and the ego was now secondary.”GUEST INFORMATIONAndrew Spaulding the founder of Corpse Paint Records is a heavy-metal label focused on authentic, artist-driven projects. With a background as a fan, touring crew member, and industry insider, he later launched the label to bring intentional releases to life, including the SUN DONT SHINE supergroup he conceptualized and executive produced. Today, he blends music with personal transformation, viewing authentic creativity as a form of alignment and healing.Website: https://corpsepaintrecords.com/pages/main Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/Corpsepaintrecords Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Corpsepaintrecords/ HOST BIOSimone Gisondi is a seasoned coach, published author, and host of Health Confidential.
