    In this podcast, health coach and yoga teacher Cate Stillman interviews me after she discovered my work during a search for help with scar tissue protocols and adhesions. So a lot of the podcast is us discussing my protocols for reducing or dissolving scar tissue, and why surgery is not usually the solution. But we also get into my personal journey, elemental diets, and how symptoms are actually messages from our subconscious, or higher self.

In this episode, Cate Stillman interviews Jini Patel Thompson’s healing journey, which began with Crohn’s, and colon issues.

  • Challenges & Solutions for Elemental Diet Success

    Challenges & Solutions for Elemental Diet Success
    Mar 28 2023
    Join me in this video as I speak with Dr. Roy & Debbie Steinbock on the challenges and solutions for elemental diet success. Roy & Debbie have been prescribing and supporting thousands of clients through an elemental diet for over 15 years. They have tons of experience dealing with all the challenges people face and supporting them through the process. Check out the elemental diet success program here. My biggest takeaway from this call is learning that Debbie and Roy start people on anti-microbials (like wild oregano, olive leaf) one to two weeks before starting an elemental diet. This way, they can go through the die-off effect (Herxheimer) in stages and not confuse the die-off/detox with the elemental formula, or attribute their symptoms to intolerance of the shakes. Brilliant! If you’ve considered going on an elemental diet for SIBO, food allergies, IBD etc. then this discussion will give you some great guidelines to follow. We start by discussing what’s happe

    LTYG Podcast: Iodine, the Thyroid and Adrenals
    Mar 13 2023
    Have you struggled with thyroid issues? Do you suspect your hormones are out of balance? Do you do too much, have poor boundaries around your time and energy, and run your adrenals like a beat horse? We started this discussion with me asking Dr. Scott Tyler ND to tell us what’s in his personal medicine bag? What does he always have on hand and ready to go? This quickly segued into a meaty discussion on thyroid function and iodine supplementation (if you want to jump ahead to the iodine and thyroid bit, start at 5:00 minutes) – do NOT miss this one! Followed by a discussion of the adrenals and once again how the mind/emotions are integral to healing both thyroid and adrenal issues. If you’ve been struggling with thyroid issues; fatigue, weight gain, loss of memory, feeling cold all the time, hair loss – then you will find this podcast enlightening and liberating. Oh and BIG NEWS: If you’re currently on one of my StrictureHeal protocols (which use iodine) y

  • Why Did I Manifest This Disease?

    Why Did I Manifest This Disease?
    Feb 24 2023
    We had some GREAT questions come in from a member of my Lazer Tapping program (mind/body/spirit self-healing technique) and I just had to record a video reply! Why Did I Manifest This Disease? The question reads: “What kind of support can be offered specifically around diving into & processing the emotional baggage behind the crohn’s and the gut? What support is available for guidance on getting deeper into the emotions in the gut & the meaning behind having manifested this disease?” If you prefer to listen to this as a podcast, scroll down, or access on your favorite podcast platform. I love the way she has already grokked the distinction of this particular disease. Because anyone familiar with the work of Louise Hay (looking at the metaphysical causes for physical illness/malfunction) already knows that where & what in the body is an important part of the message your higher self is sending you, via your physical body. Map your pathology As I say in the vi
