In this episode, Carolanne Ashley and Clancy Barton discuss the profound connection between the mind and body and how it relates to chronic health conditions.

Clancy shares insights from her experience helping clients overcome challenges like autoimmune diseases and chronic pain. She explains how childhood experiences can shape the development of subconscious programs and neural pathways in the brain.

These programs can then be triggered by sensory inputs, activating the body’s fight or flight response through the autonomic nervous system.

Clancy discusses how this ongoing stress response can deprive the body’s systems of needed energy and contribute to chronic illness over time.

Listeners learn practical tools for cultivating self-awareness to recognize and manage emotional and physical triggers.

This episode provides valuable perspectives on understanding and addressing the root causes of chronic health problems.
