Energy Works

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. What if pain isn’t simply something to get rid of? What if it’s trying to get your attention? Lauren sits down with NUCCA chiropractor Dr. Chris Wambeke for a conversation that challenges some familiar ideas about pain, tension, and even what chiropractic care is meant to do. Why might your body create tension on purpose? What if something that looks like misalignment is your body adapting to what’s happening in your life? And what can pain reveal when we stop treating it as the enemy? Chris shares a very different way of looking at the relationship between the brain, spinal cord, and body, including an approach to chiropractic care that uses an incredibly light touch. He also introduces three surprising layers of pain that go well beyond the physical. The conversation eventually ventures into energy, information, grief, consciousness, gratitude, and even what happened when Lauren’s dog Louis experienced this type of care. If you’ve ever wondered what your pain might be trying to tell you, this conversation may have you asking some very different questions. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!

What if the change of seasons affects your digestion more than you realize? As summer shifts toward fall, your energy and digestion may start responding to the transition, even before you notice anything feels different. In Five Element theory, this time of year is connected to the Earth element, digestion, and our ability to feel grounded during change. In this episode, Blaine shares why seasonal transitions can affect digestion, what you can do to support yours as we move toward fall, and two simple foods that are especially helpful this time of year. She also gives you a 21-day challenge to try it for yourself and see what you notice. Because you don’t have to wait until your digestion feels off to start supporting it.

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. Have you ever shared something personal and later wondered, “Should I have said that?” Maybe you replayed the conversation afterward. Worried about how someone interpreted what you said. Or wished you could take it back. Lauren and Blaine have both experienced that uncomfortable feeling of being seen and then second-guessing themselves. In this episode, they talk about what can happen after we put ourselves out there, including Lauren’s decision to delete podcast episodes she had already recorded and Blaine’s vulnerability hangover after sharing a very personal story. Why are we sometimes comfortable being ourselves until we imagine someone judging us? The conversation explores self-consciousness, fear of criticism, authenticity, and why some of us are especially sensitive to judgment, including what the Five Elements can reveal about our inner critic and our ability to let things go.

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. What if your emotional health is just as important to longevity as your sleep, nutrition, and exercise? In this solo episode, Lauren explores the connection between our emotions, our bodies, and long-term health through the lenses of Energy Medicine Yoga, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine. She looks at how unresolved or “undigested” emotional experiences may show up in the body, alongside what Western research is revealing about the relationship between emotional wellbeing, stress, and physical health. Lauren also takes a critical look at the biohacking and longevity movement, especially the overwhelming number of supplements, tests, protocols, and expensive interventions promising to help us live longer. Using longevity advocate Bryan Johnson and his experience with autoimmune gastritis as a starting point, Lauren explores the concept of autoimmunity through the lens of Chinese medicine. She brings the conversation back to foundational health practices that are often overlooked because they aren't particularly monetizable: quality sleep, nourishing food, healthy digestion and elimination, relationships, community, creativity, purpose, and emotional wellbeing. This episode is a grounded invitation to step back from the latest health trend and reconnect with the foundations that truly support wellbeing. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. In this Big Ideas episode, Lauren Walker interviews Chrissy Mignona, an EMYoga advanced teacher and crisis mental health practitioner who wrote I Am Safe: Trauma Responsive Practices in Crisis Mental Health while completing EMYoga’s 300-hour training. Chrissy explains why she prefers “trauma responsive” over “trauma informed,” responding in real time to nervous system reactions and creating safety whether or not a person’s history is known. She also shares why she approaches this work side-by-side rather than positioning herself as the expert. Drawing from her experience teaching in locked inpatient units, juvenile detention centers, and geriatric care settings, she shares how yoga can become accessible, choice-based, and conversational. She and Lauren discuss building agency, the “yes, and” teaching mindset, practitioner boundaries, self-advocacy, and working with dysregulation. You’ll also learn three simple techniques you can use anywhere to help regulate your nervous system when stress or overwhelm takes over. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!
