- 97. How to Regulate Your Nervous System When Fear Takes Over
What if the moments that make you feel most uncomfortable are actually teaching your nervous system how to become more resilient?
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning shares a deeply personal experience from volunteering inside a men’s prison and explains how she used nervous system regulation, somatic practices, breathwork, and emotional awareness to move through intense fear without letting it control her.
Sydona entered the experience knowing that being surrounded by men could activate memories connected to past trauma. When her body responded with a racing heart, lightheadedness, and fear, she did not try to force those sensations away. Instead, she listened to what her body needed, found a point of safety, grounded herself in the present moment, and allowed her nervous system to recognize that the situation was different from the past.
The episode explores why emotional regulation does not mean staying calm all the time. Real nervous system healing involves building your ability to experience stress, fear, anger, and other strong emotions while still finding your way back to safety.
Sydona also explains how suppressed anger and stuck emotions can affect the body, why somatic therapy and body-based practices can help, and how healthy connection can support trauma healing. After the workshop, she intentionally used conversation, physical affection, breathwork, movement, and rest to help her body release the stress it had carried through the experience.
This episode will answer questions such as:
- How can you do something that feels scary without overwhelming your nervous system?
- What can you do in the moment when anxiety, fear, or stress starts taking over your body?
- How can you help your nervous system recover after a stressful experience, so you build more capacity for future challenges?
This episode offers a practical look at what nervous system regulation can actually look like in real life. You will hear how facing something difficult with the right support can create a new experience for your body instead of reinforcing an old fear.
What could change in your life if you stopped treating discomfort as a warning to retreat and started learning how to move through it safely?

27m - Sep 1, 2026 - 96. Plant Medicine Specialist Reveals the Truth About Healing
What happens after a plant medicine ceremony may matter more than what happens during it.
On this episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning speaks with Sam Liebowitz, a Shamanic Alchemist and plant medicine integration specialist, about the preparation, safety, and personal responsibility involved in psychedelic healing. Sam explains that a meaningful experience begins long before a ceremony. Education helps you understand the medicine, its risks, possible medication interactions, and the experience of the facilitator guiding the session.
Preparation matters just as much. Setting a clear intention, strengthening practices such as meditation or journaling, and honestly evaluating your emotional readiness can help create a safer foundation. Sam cautions against choosing ayahuasca simply because it is widely discussed. For someone new to psychedelic therapy, a gentler and professionally supported approach may be more appropriate.
The conversation places special emphasis on plant medicine integration. Insights gained during an ayahuasca ceremony or another psychedelic experience do not automatically change your life. Integration means applying those insights to your relationships, health, boundaries, work, habits, and spiritual practices. Without that follow-through, even an intense experience can become little more than a temporary escape.
Sydona and Sam also discuss ketamine therapy, psilocybin, nervous system regulation, anxiety, self-compassion, and the importance of feeling safe with a facilitator. Sam recommends researching a guide’s training, experience, mentors, and reputation. He also stresses that participants should disclose medications and never ignore their own instincts when something feels wrong.
Plant based medicine is not right for everyone, and readiness cannot be forced. Yet for people who approach the process with education, preparation, trustworthy support, and continued integration, it may offer a grounded way to build greater awareness, healthier boundaries, and lasting personal change.
The ceremony may open the door, but what will you choose to do after you walk through it?

40m - Aug 1, 2026 - 95. 8 Things I Tried to Heal My Body… What Actually Helped?
Have you ever wondered why your body keeps sending signals even after you have tried the labs, supplements, protocols, and diet changes?
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning walks through eight tools she used in her own healing journey, from blood work and probiotics to GI testing, the Dutch test, somatic coaching, ayahuasca, and the healing power of safe relationships.
Sydona shares how chronic symptoms like gut issues, missing periods, panic attacks, skin flare-ups, yeast infections, and inflammation led her into functional medicine testing and supplement protocols. While some tools gave her relief and validation, they often failed to answer the deeper question, why was her body struggling in the first place?
The turning point came when Sydona began connecting physical symptoms with chronic stress, shame, trauma, and the nervous system. Through somatic coaching, she learned to listen to the body instead of only analyzing symptoms. She explains how fear, emotional holding, and protective patterns can affect digestion, hormones, pelvic floor tension, and the body’s ability to feel safe.
This episode is not a rejection of testing, blood work, or supplements. It is a closer look at what happens when those tools do not create lasting change. Sydona explores how authentic relationships, emotional release, nervous system healing, and body-based work helped her move toward better digestion, clearer skin, a healthier menstrual cycle, and fewer panic symptoms.
She also raises a question many women with chronic health struggles may recognize. What if the missing piece is not more discipline, another supplement, or another restrictive meal plan, but a deeper relationship with your body?
If you have tried every wellness protocol and still feel stuck, this conversation offers a different way to understand healing.
Your body may not be broken. It just may be asking for safety, connection, and the chance to finally let go.

51m - Jul 1, 2026 - 94. Unthawing Chronic Shame
Have you ever wondered why your body still feels stuck, even after you’ve tried the protocols, followed the plan, and done all the “right” things?
In this solo episode of Holistically Healthy, Sydona Tregoning explores the connection between shame, nervous system regulation, and chronic symptoms that do not seem to respond to traditional treatment.
Sydona breaks down the difference between healthy shame and the kind of toxic shame that becomes part of your identity. That deeper shame can show up as catastrophizing, overgeneralizing, black-and-white thinking, and the constant pressure to do everything perfectly. For people dealing with anxiety, gut issues, inflammation, acne, hormonal symptoms, or other chronic symptoms, those thought patterns may be more than mental noise. They may be signals that the nervous system does not feel safe.
This episode also looks at how shame can make you override your intuition. Instead of asking what your body needs, you may push harder, follow another protocol, or blame yourself when nothing changes. Sydona explains why this can keep the shame spiral going and why body healing often requires more than supplements, nutrition, or another wellness checklist.
To help interrupt that cycle, Sydona leads listeners through a simple somatic exercise called orienting. This practice helps the body scan the environment, notice safety, and begin to settle. Over time, this kind of nervous system work can help create new patterns, reduce the pull of shame-based thinking, and support deeper healing from within.
If you have felt like something is still off, even after trying everything, this episode offers a different way to look at your symptoms, your body, and the shame voice that may be louder than you realized.

25m - Jun 1, 2026 - 93. The Hidden Link Between Shame and Chronic Illness
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, Sydona Tregoning talks with Dana Dozwell, a nervous system mentor, about the connection between chronic illness, toxic shame, stress, and nervous system dysregulation. Dana shares what it looked like to live for years in high-performance mode while anxiety, exhaustion, and physical symptoms kept getting louder.
This conversation is for the woman who has tried the supplements, changed the diet, followed the protocols, and still feels like her body is working against her.
This episode will answer questions such as:
- What does shame feel like in the body?
- How can shame keep someone stuck in chronic illness or healing patterns?
- How do you begin healing shame through nervous system work?
Dana offers a different way to look at healing. Instead of treating symptoms as the enemy, she explains how they can be signals from a body that has been stuck in survival for too long.
You’ll hear how shame can settle into the body, how stress can affect digestion, hormones, and energy, and why pushing through often keeps the cycle going. Dana also talks about somatic healing and what can shift when you stop forcing your body to perform and start learning how to support it.
If you’ve ever wondered why doing all the “right” things still hasn’t helped you feel better, this episode may give you language for what your body has been trying to say all along.
So the real question is, are you willing to stop treating your body like a problem and finally listen to what it’s been protecting you from?

49m - May 1, 2026 - 92. When you Stop Trying to “Cure” Yourself
What if the thing keeping you stuck in your healing journey is the belief that you should already be healed?
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, Sydona Tregoning sits down with leadership consultant Dr. Bridget Cooper to have the kind of conversation most people quietly avoid.
Because when Dr. Cooper experienced a severe accident that left her with post concussion syndrome, life didn’t neatly “go back to normal.” And no matter how hard she tried, there wasn’t a version of her old self waiting on the other side.
That’s the part no one really prepares you for.
At some point, she realized she was measuring her current life against a past that no longer existed. And honestly, that comparison was exhausting. It kept her stuck in this loop of trying to get back to something that wasn’t coming back.
So she made a shift—not a perfect, overnight transformation, but a real one.
She stopped asking, “How do I get back to who I was?”
And started asking, “What’s actually possible from here?”
That shift didn’t magically fix everything. But it changed how she moved through it.
This conversation digs into self-compassion in a way that feels a lot more honest than the version we usually hear. It’s not about letting yourself off the hook or lowering your standards. It’s about recognizing that where you are right now makes sense—given everything your body and mind have been through.
And from that place, you can actually take responsibility for what comes next… without the constant pressure and self-criticism running the show.
Because here’s something most people don’t realize:
The harder you try to “fix” yourself, the more stress you create. And that stress? It can slow everything down.
But when you create even a little space—when you stop fighting your reality for a second—something shifts. You can think more clearly. You can move forward differently.
There’s also a hard truth in this episode that might hit a little close to home:
Comparison fuels suffering.
Not in a dramatic, abstract way—but in the quiet, everyday moments where you think:
“I used to be able to do this.”
“I shouldn’t still feel this way.”
“Why am I not further along?”
That constant looking back keeps you anchored to a version of life that no longer exists.
But when you start meeting yourself where you actually are—even if it’s messy, frustrating, or unfamiliar—you give yourself a real chance to move forward.
Not backward. Not sideways. Forward.
If you’re navigating symptoms, setbacks, or a body that just doesn’t cooperate the way it used to… this conversation might challenge more than your perspective. It might change how you relate to yourself entirely.
The question is simple. Are you trying to get back to who you were, or are you willing to become someone new?

34m - Apr 1, 2026 - 91. Can Autism Be Reversed? What the Latest Research Shows
What if everything you were told about autism was incomplete?
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, Sydona Tregoning sits down with Dr Theresa Lyons, autism educator and researcher, to explore what autism really means beyond the diagnosis. For many families, an autism diagnosis feels like a full stop. But Dr Lyons challenges that belief with science, lived experience, and emerging research that suggests a more nuanced story.
They discuss what autism is, how an autism diagnosis is based largely on observation, and why that can leave parents feeling lost. If you have ever searched for signs of autism in children or wondered about autism treatment options, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful perspective.
Dr Lyons shares the latest data showing that autism is not always lifelong and explains how functional medicine approaches such as diet, sleep, and inflammation can influence autism symptoms. The discussion also addresses late autism diagnosis in adults and the tension between identity and health. Is autism something you are, or is it something your body is navigating?
This episode does not promise miracles. It emphasizes consistency, mindset, and individualized care. Autism and diet, sleep quality, emotional regulation, and family support all play a role. The key is understanding the chemistry of the person in front of you rather than applying a one size fits all solution. If autism spectrum conversations have felt rigid or discouraging, this episode opens the door to possibility.
What if the label is only the beginning of the story, and not the ending?

44m - Mar 1, 2026 - 90. Gut Health and Burnout: What High Achieving Women Miss
What if your gut issues, hormone chaos, and constant exhaustion are not a discipline problem but a nervous system problem?
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning talks with holistic life, health, and nervous system mentor Tia Maher about why so many high achieving women struggle with gut health, burnout, and chronic stress even when they are doing everything “right.”
Tia shares her journey from years of digestive issues, chronic fatigue, and relentless over functioning to realizing that nervous system regulation was the missing piece no doctor addressed. Lab tests, supplements, and restrictive diets offered short term relief. Real healing began when she stopped pushing through symptoms and started listening to her body.
Together, Sydona and Tia break down how perfectionism, people pleasing, and constant productivity keep the nervous system locked in survival mode. These patterns often show up as IBS symptoms, hormone imbalance, anxiety, low energy, and the feeling that rest never actually restores you. Many women rest physically but never experience emotional or mental rest, leaving stress permanently switched on.
The conversation also challenges modern wellness culture. When healing becomes another performance goal, it quietly reinforces the same patterns that cause burnout in the first place. Diets, routines, and supplements cannot land in a body that feels unsafe and overworked.
Tia explains why burnout recovery does not require shrinking ambition. It requires changing the state your body operates from. A regulated nervous system supports gut health, hormone balance, energy, creativity, and clarity.
If you are tired of fixing yourself and still feeling exhausted, this episode offers a different lens. One that starts with safety, self-trust, and learning how to stop fighting your own body.

43m - Feb 1, 2026 - 89. Speaking to your Symptoms
What if your body is not breaking down, but trying to get your attention in the only way it knows how?
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning sits down with Dr. Erin Hayford, a Naturopathic Doctor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, to talk about what really happens when symptoms do not respond to plans, protocols, or positive thinking. Erin shares her personal experience living with chronic illness, including a Crohn’s disease diagnosis, and why being labeled with a condition does not mean you are sentenced to a fixed future.
This conversation focuses on the nervous system and why regulation comes before healing. Erin explains how the body responds to long term stress and unresolved trauma by staying in survival mode. When that happens, symptoms become signals. Pain, fatigue, inflammation, and digestive issues are not random failures. They are attempts by the body to communicate that something is not safe or supported.
Sydona and Erin explore somatic experiencing as a practical way to reconnect with the body without overthinking it. Instead of asking what is wrong with you, Erin encourages asking what your body needs right now. She explains how trauma can live in the body long after the original experience has passed, and why talking alone often is not enough. Healing requires learning how to notice sensation, slow down reactions, and build capacity for safety inside the nervous system.
You also hear why symptom management can sometimes keep people stuck. When the goal is only to quiet the symptom, the message gets ignored. Erin describes how working with the body rather than against it can open a new path forward, especially for people who feel exhausted by doing all the right things with little relief.
This episode is for anyone who feels frustrated, confused, or disconnected from their body. It is for those who sense that healing is possible but do not know where to begin. The starting point is not more effort or more control. It is learning how to listen.
What if the breakthrough you have been chasing actually starts with listening instead of fixing?

43m - Jan 1, 2026 - 88. How Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energy Transforms Your Health
What if your success is coming at the expense of your wellbeing?
Many high achieving women feel proud of their drive, but they also feel exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed. In this episode, Sydona Tregoning explains why this happens and how the imbalance between masculine energy and feminine energy plays a major role.
Women who spend years operating in masculine energy often do it to survive. They push harder, control everything, and stay focused on outcomes because uncertainty feels unsafe. For many, this pattern forms after anxiety, trauma, or instability. Sydona breaks down how this survival mode leads to scarcity mindset, chronic tension, and difficulty connecting with others.
She also explains how feminine energy works in the body. Feminine energy is tied to creativity, play, expression, and emotional movement. When women suppress these states, the nervous system pays the price. Many listeners will relate to her examples of procrastination, emotional shutdown, or feeling frozen when trying to create. Sydona connects these experiences to nervous system regulation and shows how oxytocin-based activities, relationships, and connection support female wellbeing.
This episode challenges the idea that relationships are distractions. Sydona explains why healthy masculine energy can actually help women feel safe, supported, and stable. This safety allows feminine energy to open, which improves health, stress response, creativity, and connection.
Listeners who feel stuck in masculine energy will walk away with clarity about what their body is trying to tell them and why shifting into balance matters for long term health.
Are you building a life from fear or from alignment with who you really are? Think about it…. But answer AFTER you listen to the episode.
18m - Dec 1, 2025 - 87. Your Nervous System Is Begging for Balance and Here’s How to Find It
What Your HRV Is Trying to Tell You
What if your constant fatigue, bloating, or brain fog isn’t about what you’re eating—but how your nervous system is functioning? In this solo episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning reveals how heart rate variability (HRV) acts as a secret diagnostic tool for understanding your body’s stress response.
Most people obsess over supplements, workouts, and morning routines without realizing that a low HRV is their body’s SOS signal. It means chronic stress has hijacked recovery, hormone balance, and digestion. Sydona breaks down why staying stuck in fight-or-flight keeps you exhausted no matter how healthy your lifestyle looks on paper—and how tuning into HRV can change everything.
How to Rewire for Calm and Real Resilience
Sydona teaches the steps she uses with clients to retrain the body’s stress response and rebuild resilience from the inside out. By bringing awareness to your stress patterns, shifting daily behaviors, and learning how to rest without guilt, you can literally reprogram your biology toward healing.
She explains how balancing cortisol, improving gut health, and supporting your autonomic nervous system all start with one thing—listening to your body’s signals instead of fighting them.
If your “healthy habits” still leave you anxious or drained, this episode shows you how to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm and restore genuine balance.
Your body already knows how to heal. The real question is—are you ready to listen?

22m - Nov 1, 2025 - 86. Trauma Healing and Functional Medicine Working Together for Real Change
What if your health challenges are not just physical, but rooted in the subconscious mind and unprocessed emotions?
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning sits down with healer, educator, and meditation teacher Anni Eza to explore how real transformation begins when we look beyond surface symptoms. Anni shares her personal journey from feeling disconnected and carrying deep grief to discovering energy healing as a path to integration. She explains how subconscious patterns shape 95 percent of daily choices, often keeping people stuck in cycles of anxiety, trauma, or depletion.
Why the Mind Body Soul Connection Matters
Together, they discuss the mind body soul connection and why bridging functional medicine with spiritual healing practices creates lasting change. Supplements and protocols can only go so far if emotional wounds and subconscious beliefs remain unresolved. Anni reveals how her unique method combines meditation, intuitive guidance, and subconscious reprogramming to help clients release stored trauma, heal digestive issues, and restore vitality.
Healing Beyond the Surface
Listeners will hear why energy healing is more than restoring balance, it’s about addressing the root cause of suffering. Anni and Sydona also highlight the upcoming holistic health masterclass designed to blend functional nutrition, energetic healing, and practical tools for self-awareness. Participants will not only experience a group healing session but also leave with insights to shift patterns that drain energy and block progress.
Reclaiming Wholeness
If you’ve tried every supplement, every diet, every quick fix without finding relief, this conversation will open new possibilities. Healing is not about fixing what is broken, it’s about remembering your wholeness and reclaiming your power.

38m - Oct 1, 2025 - 85. Cancer Shock: Why Doing Everything Right Can Still Make You Sick
What if your symptoms weren’t proof that your body was broken, but proof that your body was doing everything it could to protect you?
In this episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning sits down with Nina from Humans Unplugged, a therapist and coach who knows firsthand the complicated journey of healing. Nina’s story challenges the conventional idea that doing “all the right things” automatically leads to health. She ate clean, moved her body, practiced breathwork, and meditated. Yet, her symptoms grew worse, eventually leading to a cancer diagnosis.
The turning point? Realizing that true healing wasn’t only about food or supplements—it was about identity. Nina explains how trauma, emotional repression, and survival patterns quietly shape the nervous system and, over time, the body itself. Suppressed emotions—like anger or grief—don’t disappear. Instead, they fuel stress responses that can eventually show up as illness.
Through her own experience and work with clients, Nina reveals that health isn’t just a checklist of habits but a deeper process of breaking survival patterns, dissolving old identities, and reclaiming emotional expression. She also discusses the profound role of generational trauma, and how cycles passed down through families can manifest as recurring health struggles—until someone chooses to break them.
Listeners will come away with a new perspective on what it means to heal. This conversation is both practical and deeply human, reminding us that our bodies are not failing us; they are adapting. True transformation happens when we stop fighting symptoms and start listening to what they’re telling us.
So, ask yourself: Are your symptoms the problem—or are they the map pointing you toward real healing?

44m - Sep 1, 2025 - 84. Mold Toxicity to Full Recovery: Reclaiming Your Immune System
The truth about Mold and how its not just here to hurt you, but here to uncover what you've tried to bury.
On this episode of Holistically Healthy, host Sydona Tregoning sits down with Morgan Glodowski to share her experience with mold and how it led to a near-death experience, leaving her bedridden with more than thirty symptoms in just three months.
Through this powerful conversation, Morgan explains how mold affects the immune system and why so many people are misdiagnosed. She shares how traditional medicine failed her and why a holistic approach focusing on detox, trauma release, and nervous system regulation was key to her recovery. Breathwork, Kundalini practices, and an unwavering belief in the body’s ability to heal became game changers on her path.
This episode also explores the emotional side of mold illness—how stagnant environments can mirror unprocessed trauma and how healing often requires going deeper than just physical detox. From circadian rhythms to quantum healing, Sydona and Morgan show us why living with mold exposure isn’t a life sentence.
If you’ve ever wondered how much mold could be affecting your health or if full recovery is even possible, this episode will shift your perspective. It’s a wake-up call to start listening to your body, your environment, and your intuition.
Are you ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about mold and healing? Or are you willing to risk staying stuck in the very place that’s making you sick?

53m - Aug 1, 2025 - 83. How Mindful Eating Unlocks Real Healing
Have you ever wondered what true holistic wellness looks like when you strip away every mask you wear?
On this week’s episode, host Sydona Tregoning sits down with holistic wellness practitioner Deana to uncover how authenticity is the cornerstone of deep healing. From the moment Deana hit “rock bottom” in her recovery journey, she knew that superficial fixes—quick‑fix diets or trendy detoxes—would never sustain real change. Instead, she’s championed a return to regenerative nutrition, emphasizing whole, organic foods that actually nourish our bodies and the planet.
Together, Sydona and Deana talk about the unseen culprits lurking in everyday meals—common food industry toxins that silently undermine our gut health and throw our nervous systems out of balance. Deana explains how even a handful of conventionally grown produce can introduce chemicals that disrupt digestion, mood, and energy.
But it’s not all doom and gloom: they explore actionable steps like mindful eating rituals, where slowing down to savor each bite becomes an act of self‑respect. Deana guides listeners through simple practices—pausing before meals, checking in with hunger cues, and breathing deeply—that reclaim the body’s natural wisdom. These small shifts, she says, lay the groundwork for a vibrant life infused with intention.
Throughout the conversation, authenticity weaves through every topic. Deana reminds us that when we align our choices—food, movement, even the company we keep—with our truest selves, we unlock a ripple effect of healing: physical, mental, and emotional.
If you’re ready to step off the wellness hamster wheel of one‑size‑fits‑all fads and embrace a holistic wellness path tailored to your unique story, this episode is your roadmap.
Are you brave enough to peel back the layers and discover what regenerative nutrition and mindful practices can truly do for your body—and your life?

54m - Jul 1, 2025 - 82. What Happens When Holistic Nutrition Meets Meditation?
What if the missing piece in healing your gut isn’t another supplement but your mind?
On the latest Holistically Healthy episode, “What Happens When Holistic Nutrition Meets Meditation,” host Sydona Tregoning sits down with Albina Albek—a seasoned holistic nutritionist—to reveal how a consistent meditation practice can revolutionize gut health and overall well-being.
Albina’s journey began when intense workouts, a big move, and multiple rounds of antibiotics devastated her gut microbiome. Every “gut health tip” and specialized diet she tried failed until she discovered meditation for healing through Dr. Joe Dispenza’s guided practices. “Those meditations allowed me to process buried stress,” she explains, “and rewired my brain’s response to food.” Albina, who trained at Integrative Nutrition Institute, crafted a personalized protocol blending whole foods, targeted supplements, and daily meditations.
In this conversation, Albina breaks down the science of the mind body connection and explains why true holistic nutrition demands calming the nervous system first. She combines practical gut health tips—such as removing inflammatory foods and supporting detox pathways—with daily five-minute visualizations and gratitude exercises. By imagining her body healed and repeating affirmations like “I am whole,” her subconscious shifted, allowing her physiology to follow.
Albina also shares advice on identifying emotional blocks that manifest as digestive issues. “When you feel anxious about eating,” she says, “journal the fear, then meditate on a future where you’re thriving.” Her holistic nutritionist advice offers clients not only solutions for leaky gut and food sensitivities but also tools for maintaining inner peace and resilience.
If you’ve tried every diet without success, this episode could be the game changer. Discover how integrating meditation for healing with holistic nutrition not only repairs your gut microbiome but also cultivates vibrant energy, balanced hormones, and mental clarity.

41m - Jun 1, 2025 - 81. Secret Strategies of Promoting Fat Loss with Balanced Nutrition
Are you struggling with persistent fatigue, stubborn weight gain, or the complexities of PCOS?
In this solo episode, host Sydona Tregoning talks about the foundational aspects of blood sugar regulation and its profound impact on overall health.
Sydona begins by demystifying the concept of blood sugar, explaining how carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, the body's primary energy source. She highlights the crucial role of insulin in transporting glucose into cells and discusses how imbalances can lead to energy crashes and fat storage, particularly around the abdomen.
The episode explores the significance of muscle mass in glucose storage and the benefits of incorporating resistance training, such as calisthenics or Pilates, into your routine. Sydona emphasizes the importance of meal timing and composition, advocating for balanced meals rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Listeners will gain insights into the symptoms of dysregulated blood sugar, including energy dips, sleep disturbances, and hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS. Sydona also touches on the psychological aspects, discussing how chronic stress can perpetuate blood sugar issues and hinder weight loss efforts.
For those seeking a deeper understanding and practical strategies, Sydona introduces her six-week program, "Nourish," designed to empower individuals to take control of their health through informed nutrition and lifestyle choices.

18m - May 16, 2025 - 80. Letting Go of Discipline and Listening to your Body
What if the real route to feeling strong isn’t another punishing workout plan but a deeper conversation between your mind and your muscles?
That’s the invitation in this week’s conversation, where host Sydona Tregoning sits down with Jon Orsini, an accomplished teacher in Somatic Breathwork, to explore how listening can be just as transformative as lifting.
Sydona opens by confessing her old bodybuilding mindset: five‑day splits, macro spreadsheets, and the stubborn belief that soreness equals success. Yet, as she began coaching women through her Nourish program, she noticed an unsettling pattern. Data‑driven routines delivered gains on paper but often left clients disconnected from their bodies—especially during hormonally challenging phases of the menstrual cycle. Pushing through fatigue wasn’t discipline; it was downright exercise addiction, a self‑inflicted stress response that spiked cortisol and stalled genuine growth.
In his breathwork circles Jon Orsini meets high‑achievers—many of them women—who have mastered spreadsheets but lost touch with sensation. He explains the nervous system regulation paradox: when stress hits, the brain’s survival hardware can trigger dissociation, the very disconnection that lets someone power through another set even as their knees buckle. Over time that protective wall becomes a prison, blocking the subtle cues that would guide smarter, kinder training choices.
Through guided breathwork exercises, Jon helps clients re‑enter those numb zones. A simple body‑scan paired with cyclic sighing can unearth layers of tension—and unexpected emotions—stored in quads, hips, or a clenched jaw. As participants reclaim those signals, their definition of “high performance” shifts. The new metric isn’t six‑pack symmetry; it’s sustainable energy, stable moods, and a cycle that actually cycles. That’s hormone balance for women in real life, not just on a lab report.
The duo also tackles the social narrative that glorifies grind culture. When pain is worn like a badge, stepping back feels like failure. Jon reframes it: “Treat yourself like an object and you’ll attract people who do the same. Treat yourself like an ecosystem and you’ll glow from the inside out.” That mind‑body connection becomes a magnet for healthier relationships, both in and out of the gym.
Listeners leave with practical takeaways:
- Swap one intense session a week for mindfulness meditation or yin yoga to boost recovery.
- Use Jon’s three‑breath reset (inhale, hold, prolonged exhale) whenever the urge to “push through” overrides intuition.
- Journal post‑workout feelings; flag red‑lines like dizziness, joint pain, or emotional numbness.
By the end, Sydona and Jon prove that real strength is cooperative, not combative. Muscles grow in rest, lungs speak wisdom, and your body awareness—once reawakened—makes every rep, breath, and choice more powerful than any algorithm could prescribe. Press play and start breathing your way back to wholeness.

38m - Apr 16, 2025 - 78. Overcoming Overwhelm with Strategies for a Balanced Life
Are you overwhelmed by life's demands, feeling as though there's never enough time for yourself?
In the latest episode of the Holistically Healthy podcast, host Sydona Tregoning speaks with life coach Michelle Gauthier about overcoming chronic stress and the sense of never doing enough.
Recognizing Overwhelm and its Impact
Michelle suggests start by recognizing the signs of overwhelm, which often manifest as physical sensations like tense muscles or rapid heartbeat. Realize that this state can limit your capacity to think and act clearly. Identifying these moments is the first step in overcoming them.
Transforming Thoughts to Alleviate Stress
Michelle proposes shifting negative thoughts to more manageable ones, allowing for action in a grounded state. For example, turning “I don't have enough time” into “I know the first thing I should work on” can significantly lower stress levels, enabling you to approach tasks with greater focus.
Creating Space for Calm
Lastly, the conversation highlights the importance of making small lifestyle changes. Whether it's taking a moment to savor your lunch or allowing silence instead of reaching for your phone in idle moments, these habits can carve out room for calm in a hectic life.
The essence of the episode is clear: it's possible to navigate life with less stress and more fulfillment.
As you reflect on your own habits, ask yourself: what one small change can you make today to begin living more holistically healthy?
