The Gift of an Autoimmune Diagnosis - Victoria’s Story

5/25/2023
When I first met Victoria, she felt like her life was coming to an end after she was diagnosed with Graves Disease, an autoimmune thyroid condition. She was overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety and fear for her future. With the conventional methods of treating Graves, she had good reason to be afraid. Little did she know that, less than two short months later, she would come to look at the diagnosis as a gift. A gift that gave her the opportunity to live the life she always wanted and had always been afraid to go after. Listen in to learn more! Transcript: 00:00 And I think that it all really manifested in this way that I developed this thyroid condition. And after two months of working with Dr. Irene, my labs not only are practically normal, but I feel so much better all of the physical symptoms, I can really say all the physical symptoms that I had before are gone almost 100% of the time. Dr. Irene Cop 00:32 So, thank you so much for offering to let others know about your journey. Working with me, I appreciate you so much sharing. And just wanted to start out by asking a couple of questions, if that's okay. So one of the questions I have is, so often I find, and this is human nature that we have a we reach it enough is enough moment, right? That it's not so sure, I like to call it Rock Bottom. But it's that okay, something's got to change now. So would you feel comfortable just quickly sharing what that was for you. Victoria 01:13 Um, for me, it was probably when I felt like I couldn't function anymore. I couldn't enjoy anything, I just was in a constant state of worrying about just anything and everything things that likely would never happen. Just I would automatically go to worst case scenario for everything. And it was just not a functional way to live. And I just realized that I hadn't been happy. And I hadn't been living my life because I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop just constantly. Dr. Irene Cop 01:48 Thank you. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and sharing. Now, before you started working with me, had you tried anything else before? What worked? What didn't work? Victoria 01:59 Before working with you, I really tried to do a lot of stuff on my own. I would listen to like mindset podcasts and watch like conquering your anxiety, things on YouTube and stuff like that I would I have worked with therapists in the past, and nothing ever felt like it would make me it was lasting beyond the time I spent listening to it, then it never nothing ever made a real difference. Dr. Irene Cop 02:28 So what what made you decide to work with me Victoria 02:31 just some of the stuff that I heard when I heard you talking on Dr. Eric's podcast, some of the stuff you were saying just sounded like a really outside of the box kind of different approach, you would talk about some things like I don't know, patterns and stuff, the way we think is even just our unconscious mind. And it just made me realize that a lot of it is bigger than me and my intentions, because so much of it is deeper than that. And I wouldn't really I would only be able to scratch the surface on my own. Because it would it just went so deep, so much deeper than that. Dr. Irene Cop 03:07 Thank you. And so how has working with me changed your life? Victoria 03:14 I think it's been, gosh, probably almost two months. And I just feel very, I just feel like a sense of relief. I feel like not only because I feel better now in this moment, but I feel like I have tools now that I can take with me because I know realistically that stuff's gonna happen. And I feel better equipped to handle those things, because of a lot of the stuff that you've taught me things that we've gone over ways that you've helped me kind of reframe my thinking. And it's not easy to do, because I've been thinking this way for years. So I feel just very optimistic about handling things in the future and not falling back to the way that...

Want to Improve Your Performance “Negative 20x” Your Efforts!

5/17/2023
In this episode, Dr. Irene Cop welcomes Michael Ostrolenk, the Director of Human Relationships and Resilience at the Institute. Dr. Irene and Michael continue their discussion from the previous episode, which was entitled “Three Tools to Shift from Poor Performer to Elite Performer”. In this episode, they explore what it means to their clients to uplevel their performance. Michael introduces the concept of “Negative 20x”, which is the opposite of the popular concept of 10x-ing your performance. Michael explains that many of his clients operate under the mindset of not feeling good enough and judge themselves harshly, which leads them to try to prove themselves to others. Michael gives an example of a client who was always training for the next Spartan Race or Tough Mudder, not because he enjoyed them but because he was trying to prove something to his father and to himself. Michael suggests that instead of doing more of what they are already doing or even 10x-ing their performance, they should try negative 20x, which means slowing down and sitting quietly with themselves to notice what arises. Michael explains that this was the hardest race for his client, who found it uncomfortable to be with himself and not have a goal to train for. However, by doing so, he had breakthroughs and realized that his sense of not being good enough and the shame of being alive were driving him. He then stopped looking outward for validation and started looking inward to fulfill himself. Dr. Irene and Michael discuss how many of their clients feel like they are not enough, and they explore the reasons behind this feeling, which usually stem from their family of origin. Michael explains that by examining these underlying issues, clients can have breakthroughs and start to shift from poor performers to elite performers. They also discuss how being an elite performer does not mean being perfect or achieving all their goals but rather having resilience and the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Dr. Irene emphasizes the importance of being kind to oneself and not judging oneself harshly, as this can lead to burnout and other mental health issues. Michael suggests that clients should focus on progress, not perfection, and celebrate small wins along the way. In conclusion, this episode explores the concept of shifting from poor performer to elite performer, which is not about achieving perfection but rather having resilience and the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Michael introduces the concept of negative 20x, which means slowing down and sitting quietly with oneself to notice what arises. By doing so, clients can examine their underlying issues and have breakthroughs that can help them shift from poor performers to elite performers. They also discuss the importance of being kind to oneself and celebrating small wins along the way. If you're interested in learning more about achieving success through mindfulness and slowing down, this episode is a must-listen. Topics Discussed: Negative 20x approach Co-Regulation Importance of having a progress partner for accountability and support. The concept of "negative 20x," which is an alternative to the popular concept of "10x your performance." Negative 20x is about slowing down and sitting quietly within yourself instead of constantly trying to prove yourself to others. By doing this, clients can discover what's driving them and start looking inward to fulfill themselves, rather than looking outward for validation. This concept can help people who feel like they're not enough or are constantly judging themselves. The importance of having a progress partner for accountability and support, and the benefits of initiating a state change to open up the heart and mind for better communication and conflict resolution, both in personal and professional relationships.

Welcome to another edition of our live weekly expert series on the Stress to Success S.H.I.F.T. Our very special guest is our Institute’s Autoimmune Expert, Elizabeth Yarnell. Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999, Elizabeth has been on a mission to redefine MS and autoimmunity naturally as a traditional naturopath and Certified LEAP Therapist. She has worked with hundreds of MS and other autoimmune sufferers in her nationwide clinic using unique, customized non-pharmaceutical therapies to empower them to reclaim their health. She’s a TEDx speaker, award-winning author whose cookbook has sold more than 70,000 copies, a patented inventor, and has been featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, and PBS as well as in Good Housekeeping, Health, Martha Stewart Living Radio, and many other outlets. Her next book, which is focused on Redefining Multiple Sclerosis, comes out in March of 2023. In this episode, we decided to highlight three hidden causes of Autoimmune conditions that conventional methods miss or ignore. Then we showed how the Stress to Success S.H.I.F.T. Institute's 16-Week Autoimmune Reset Experience guides you in eliminating these and other hidden factors, so you can restore your health, recover your life, and reinvent your future. Listen in to learn more! Talking Points: You may not even realize that what you have is an autoimmune conditionIf you have any chronic health challenges, you might have autoimmunity, becuase it typically takes years to be formally diagnosedAutoimmunity is caused by chronic inflammation and dysfunction of the immune system. That is in turn caused by hidden factors that are missed or dismissed by conventional methods.The role of the Industrial Revolution in the development of Autoimmune ConditionsTypes of autoimmune conditions include:Diabetes Type 1Hashimoto’s GravesMultiple SclerosisCeliacPsoriasis EczemaPernicious AnemiaInflammatory Bowel DiseaseRheumatoid ArthritisLupusAlopeciaAnd many moreThese autoimmune conditions are caused by the same root as classic allergies, food sensitivities, and asthma. Once you have one of these conditions, you’re prone to others… because they’re all caused by these same hidden factors. In fact, they’re essentially the same condition… a manifestation of the immune system attacking a particular part of the bodyOften, people start out with bowel problems before progressing to other complicationsFactor #1: Diet is a big factor in the immune response and how it is triggered – even eating foods that are considered healthy superfoods[Side note: inflammation can cause you to hold onto weight so you could be doing everything right and still not lose weight]Factor #2: Stress directly causes autoimmune conditions. It depresses your immune system and spikes inflammation through the stress hormone, cortisol. Your brain and body equate stress with the fight for survival and are concerned with keeping you alive in the moment, not whether you get sick or die later on.Factor #3: Underlying Parasitic Infections are a very commone and highly overlooked cause of inflammation, contributing to autoimmune disorders. -- Listen, rate, and subscribe!

Many of our clients have complained: They’ve struggled to lose weight, despite "doing everything right"They’ve tried everything, and yet still feel uncomfortable in their body, unattractive, and old before their timeThe aches and pains are starting to pile upTheir doc has told them to shape up or elseThey’re scared their health is barrelling downhillThey feel disgusted with themselves for their lack of will power to make the necessary changes Good nutrition and exercise aren't the whole stories of how Lance has lost over 60 pounds so far in the past year of working with us. If it were, he would have lost weight years ago. Before starting our 8-Week Sustainable Weight Loss Bootcamp, Lance needed a wheelchair for long distances, he was in severe pain, and was told he’d need to have a hip replacement. He was getting regular cortisone shots to deal with the pain. Worse, he couldn’t help his daughter move in to her dormitory. Instead, he had to ask friends to help out. Can you relate? Since working with us, Lance hasn’t needed cortisone shots for pain, he was able to walk around at a convention with only a cane, and he helped his daughter move into her dorm room this year, including climbing stairs with boxes!

Getting to know Victoria & fun with accents From 02:10: “It reminds me of that the British movie Love Actually and isn't there like once one with one of the themes in that movie? is a British fellow who can't get a girl for the life of him, decides to go to America so that you know because you know American women love British accents.” “And it's so surprising how many people comment on it because I just talk and I'm like, oh, yeah, I don't. I have an accent. So yes.” Why we create barriers From 06:38: “We feel like we're not lovable just innately and sometimes those masks are self-protective in from other reasons, you know, historic trauma historic experiences, where aren't systems stepped into a place where being vulnerable and being us wasn't a safe thing to be. And therefore we have created barriers and armor and masks to self-protect.” “I think of it like the creation of a beautiful statue. You don't like add things in to create the statue the statue creator starts with a lump of stone and chipped away at the edges to create the shape underneath.” Human Design From 18:11:..so you mentioned Human Design and whether your listeners know or don't know about it, it's kind of a system linked to astrology and all that kind of stuff. And that's where I started and the reason that I've been in this place for 20 years and I am old enough was because I found that when I was 15 my mom found it when I was 15. And so that's when I started in the world of effective personal development and looking inwards. But I couldn't talk about it to anyone, I mean, this was in 2002/2003 I couldn't talk about that to anyone. And now I'm at a party and if a friend that I'm with knows that I'm there and somebody who is interested, I get introduced as the person who learned human design with the founder. And it's like the state shift in recent years. This is very recent that we can have like energetic conversations and I can, I mean, I'm sure people are not using it entirely accurately, but I can use the word Cymatics and people understand what I'm talking about, or at least have some concept that it isn't. I'm just being weird and refuting medical stuff. I'm actually talking about, you know, a bio psycho social emotional phenomenon that we are proving in science now. And that I love I love that I can talk about things openly without feeling like I might be kind of like I don't know dismissed as a witch or whatever they used to do. Is it...

Bridging the Invisible Wall Between Management and Leadership with Doug Thorpe

7/27/2022
One benefit of the pandemic is that the employment population in general has had an awakening and they're returning to work with a new sense of empowerment. They're no longer willing to put up with toxic bosses. And, you know, there's a phrase among HR people that says people join companies but they quit bosses. Unfortunately, there’s a long tradition of promoting someone for their results as a team member, and continuing to promote them higher, despite never having had formal leadership training.

Overcoming the Stress of Loss and Grief with Dr. Dan Cardelllichio

7/14/2022
Welcome to another session of our Tap into Elite Performance Live series, this time with Dr. Dan Cardellichio. After working with Joanna Chodorowska to guide her through her grief response, I asked Dr. Dan to share what he has experienced since his mother’s passing recently. We then worked through his challenges to minimize his resulting stress. Interestingly, what he experienced was completely different than Joanna did! After just three deep breaths while pressing two acupuncture points, Dr. Dan felt about 50% better. Listen in to learn more! Topics Discussed: The grieving process can start before the actual loss, especially with a loved one’s drawn-out illnessThe conflicting emotions around a death that was preventableThe conflicting emotions around your loved one’s readiness to give up fighting when you want to do everything possible to keep them with youWhen your conscious mind wars with your unconscious programmingThe importance of choosing your big WHY… your Ikigai… your reason for living, in order to survive the tough timesThe importance of pets in helping us through the grieving processThe acupuncture points to tap or hold if you want to: shift from feeling Anger to Forgivenessboost your immune system Connect with Dr. Dan Cardellichio: Website:http://www.drdancardellichio.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/danc1156 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dan-Cardellichio-DC-MS-1390019007810458/ -- SUBSCRIBE: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-heal-with-dr-irene/id1561226627 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1pxldTJY5MZmneyz8IpSvm Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFTN-EU3umbz_0d0GFwk_Bw Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/selfheal-with-dr-irene TuneIn: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Health--Wellness-Podcasts/Self-Heal-(with-Dr-Irene)-p1421793/ Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3NlbGZoZWFsaW5nLm1pbmRzaGFyZWNvbGxhYm9yYXRpdmUubGlic3lucHJvLmNvbS9yc3M Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/2461592 Connect with us!

The Different Faces of Grief and Loss: Part Two with Joanna Chodorowska

7/12/2022
Welcome to part two of our Tap into Elite Performance Live series with Joanna Chodorowska. Joanna was so awesome about being vulnerable and courageous last time, sharing how she was having trouble getting any work done after her father's passing recently. Right after the last session, Joanna said she felt: About 50% betterLighter, physically, mentally, and emotionally – as if some cloud had lifted Listen in to see how she’s doing now! Topics Discussed: Everyone responds to loss in their own unique way, based on their hard-wired stress style, their programming, life circumstances, their relationships, and even the events surrounding the loss.You’re hard-wired for stress and survival mode to fight, flee, freeze, or faint. There is no right or wrong.While you’re in survival mode, your thinking brain is offline, so it’s normal to forget the actions like acupressure tapping that will actually make you feel better.Quick hack: tie the acupressure tapping to healthy habits you already do, so it takes less effort and focus to remember.Give yourself the grace of time to do what brings you joy and calms the fire alarms of stress so you can think again.The length of time it actually takes to create a habitThe acupuncture points to tap or hold if you want to shift from feeling:Impatient to PeacefulStressed to Calm Inadequate to InvincibleSadness to Joy Connect with Joanne: Website: https://nutrition-in-motion.net/meet-joanna Recipes: https://nutrition-in-motion.net/resources/recipes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NutritioninMotionPA/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannachodorowska Twitter: https://twitter.com/jchodorowska Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkD_KEK_Yua5bBHFQiJX1vQ -- SUBSCRIBE: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-heal-with-dr-irene/id1561226627 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1pxldTJY5MZmneyz8IpSvm Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFTN-EU3umbz_0d0GFwk_Bw Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/selfheal-with-dr-irene TuneIn: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Health--Wellness-Podcasts/Self-Heal-(with-Dr-Irene)-p1421793/ Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3NlbGZoZWFsaW5nLm1pbmRzaGFyZWNvbGxhYm9yYXRpdmUubGlic3lucHJvLmNvbS9yc3M Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/2461592 Connect with us!

Tap Into Health for Elite Performers with Dr. Dan Cardellichio and Dr. Irene Cop

6/22/2022
Recently, my team and I have been running fun, powerful hot-seat sessions for elite performers across social media. The reason behind these is simple: To debunk the myth that only others with some magical quality can be elite performers. They’re simply ordinary people like you and me who’ve believed they’re meant for more and made the decision to become more. In other words, we’re all capable of being elite performers.To debunk the myth that elite performers have lived some kind of charmed life and that’s how they’ve been able to do the extraordinary. If anything, they have suffered as much or even more adversity and trauma. They’ve just chosen to use it to hone their character and become the hero of their story.To debunk the myth that elite performers have it “made” and that they’re immune to life’s troubles on an ongoing basis.Even elite performers can suffer setbacks like getting sick… as I did recently after recently traveling under tons of stress and no sleep. To quickly provide relief for the high achiever on the hot seat and show you at home how you can quickly regain control of your life so you can be an elite performer too. For this week’s podcast, enjoy this recording of a live stream where Dr. Dan Cardellichio, Director of Functional Medicine for the Stress to Success SHIFT Institute, turned the tables on me to interview me on what tools I used to heal from that bout of illness. It’s raw. It’s real. And you’ll learn the acupressure points and tools I used to boost my immune system and recover from that well known illness that’s been traveling the planet.

How an Elite Performer Bounces Back from Setbacks with Sarah Hawley

6/4/2022
Have you, a family member, or a friend suffered from trauma and childhood adversity that is impacting your current relationships and work? You’re not alone! My special guest for today is Sarah Hawley. She is an amazing badass entrepreneur who's changing the world with her global company, Growmotely, that matches remote workers with companies who need them. In the midst of doing a podcast interview with her, she had the courage to admit that she’s traveling through a dark night of the soul. Can you relate? You’re not alone! Even badass elite performers have setbacks in their own journey through life. In fact, we're badass because of our journey – because of the adversity, life-transforming events, and trauma that we have suffered, especially early in life. That's what makes us who we are. I had already started coaching Sarah on resetting her survival mode and releasing the core issues when she gave permission for me to press the “record” button and share this powerful session with you. Prior to starting, she felt lost, angry, terrified, and betrayed (with an intensity rating of 7-10/10). After the short session, she felt more grounded and peaceful (with an intensity rating of the above feelings at 0-3/10) So, if you’ve experienced betrayal, abandonment, trauma, or abuse (whether it’s mental, emotional, or physcial), tune in and follow along to shift from stress to success in a few minutes!

The Biology of Trauma and Stress with Dr. Aimie Apigian

5/26/2022
Our guest this week is my good friend, Dr. Aimie Apigian is a double board-certified medical physician in both preventive and addiction medicine and holds a double Master's degrees in Biochemistry and in Public Health. She is the leading medical expert on addressing stored trauma in the body through her signature model and methodology, the Biology of Trauma. This methodology courageously uplevels the old methods of trauma work and medicine by reverse-engineering trauma’s effects on the nervous system and body at a cellular level. She also specializes in trauma attachment and addictions after having personal experience in foster parenting, adopting, and then having her own health issues that were a result of childhood and life experiences. Tune in and enjoy listening while learning! Talking points: The biology of trauma not only refers to the downstream effects of stored trauma in the body, but also the biology that will predispose someone to experiencing the trauma. So our biology actually makes our survival system, our nervous system, more sensitive and vulnerable to attack. Stress or overwhelming life events shape our biology and actually cause disease later on in life. Trauma is epigenetic. It can actually modify your DNA, so that it can then be transmitted down and have very serious physical effects like on our mortality and creating disease in our body. Trauma is a feature of the autonomic nervous system, something that is subconscious.
