This episode, let’s talk about the mental component of health!
By no means is every sickness coming from the mind, but also, the mind – including subconscious processes and emotions – cannot be extricated from ANY experience of the body, be it pain or pleasure, sickness or health, success or failure. I encourage you to always seek a happier, healthier mindset even as you seek a happier, and healthier, body.

Joining me on the podcast today is Raina LaGrand, LMSW, MPH, CYT.
Raina is a somatic therapist, coach, and educator living in Ypsilanti, MI. Her perspective on somatics includes responding to the ways trauma & oppression shape our experiences and capacity to thrive. She believes individual and societal transformation is made possible when we center bodies, pleasure, relationships, and culture in healing. Through her work, she seeks to support others in living fully with presence and agency.
We’ve been discussing when and how to find a GOOD health practitioner. So, how do you find a GOOD chiropractor?
Joining me on the podcast today to answer this question are two good chiropractors and great storytellers, Dr. Zach Simpkins and Dr. Tygue Arvidson!
I’d like to share something special with you: a LIVE recording of a three month follow up call with one of my clients! My client, Dessie, kindly allowed me to record her call to share her progress with YOU!
Starting this process, her top three complaints were upper abdominal pain, joint pain, and fatigue. (Plus a slew of other symptoms that improved, as well!)
Today, we’re talking about MONEY MINDSET! This topic can be awkward to discuss, but is deeply intertwined with our health.
If you feel repelled or your head is swimming at the thought of thinking about money – HOLD tight! This conversation is a gentle and loving one – we even have talking points and homework to take home!
Let’s dive into two crucial steps on the path to healing: How to know it’s time for help. How to CHOOSE help!
Shame, discouragement, a self-blaming mindset, and many other patterns can arise when we don’t get to the root cause of a health problem.
Today, I invite you to learn about a tool I created for my clients! I WISH I had this for myself in 2015 when I started my journey.
When I first started my health journey, I didn’t know how I had gotten to where I was or where to go from there. I didn’t know what path to take! I spent years floundering and feeling confused overall about where I was in the healing journey.
Your doctor shares your lab results with the news that they are… NORMAL!
You don’t FEEL normal, so what does that mean?
These “Normal” lab results were compared to a lab’s reference range.
The problem with this reference range?
The average is comprised of ALL the people a specific lab has ever sampled.
Having a dysbiotic gut microbiome or unbalanced hormones make bodies MORE prone to weight problems. It has nothing to do with willpower, values, or abilities!
If any of those points sound like YOU, tune in for an uplifting episode on body mindset with Alisha Carlson, Non-Diet Lifestyle Coach.
OMG! Yes, I need this!
