Self-Heal by Design with Barbara O’Neill

I invite you to join me on a transformative journey, as I sit down with naturopath, Barbara O’Neill, a true heroin of natural healing . After being silenced by Australian health authorities in a modern day natural medicine witch hunt, Barbara chose to continue spreading the message of self healing internationally by going on tour outside of the land down under. The health board’s condemnation of her work turned out to be a blessing in disguise when videos of Barbara’s lectures went super viral across social media platforms.

Offering insight on natural healing with its basis in Biblical teachings, Barbara now educates people around the world on the body’s intelligent design and its innate capacity to self heal. Her work honors a paradigm of medicine that exists outside of the disaster management model of allopathic medicine and she empowers patients with the knowledge that they are, in fact, in charge of facilitating their own healing.

Barbara’s work is part of a growing movement of sovereignty and self-empowerment in health. When we honor the laws of Nature and understand that health is not something someone else can DO to us, we are able to reclaim the health, happiness, and vitality that is our birthright. The body does not lie and there is no man made authority capable of silencing its truth.

Barbara is a gift to those of us ready to take self-ownership of our own health.

LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS

Romantic and close relationships have the ability to tip the body and mind towards feel good chemistry and energy or towards chronic and acute disease. Learning how to cultivate and maintain healthy relationships is essential to creating wellness.

LYMPH

The lymphatic system is among the most overlooked systems of the body. It’s role in removing cellular waste and regulating the immune system is imperative to building a healthy, balanced body. Stagnant lymphatic fluid leads to build up of toxins and weakened immunity.

PELVIC FLOOR HEALTH

Pelvic floor health extends far beyond sex, pregnancy, and bladder control. The pelvic floor is the seat of health for so many bodily functions for both women and men. In many Eastern medical traditions, the pelvic floor is the “root” of our energy flow. Leaving the pelvic floor out of any holistic health regimen is akin to expecting a tree to flourish with damaged roots.

SELF CARE

In our busy world filled with family and work responsibilities, many of us find ourselves to be the lowest priority on our lengthy to-do lists. When we recognize that putting our own needs at the top of the list improves our availability to show up and genuinely help others, the dynamics of our world begin to shift. The rewards extend beyond just how we feel and manifest in all aspects of our relationships, work life, and finances.

CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT

The caloric model of weight management is dead. Exercising in the wrong way can often add to hormone imbalances that perpetuate unhealthy weight and chronic disease. Learn to exercise smarter, not harder, and exercise your mind in a deliberate way at the same time.

DIGESTION

Digestion is the cornerstone of good health. You aren’t what you eat, you are what you digest. If your digestive system is in a state of imbalance, which is true for most Americans, you will not be able to sustain health in other systems of the body. The gut is considered the second brain and its health is imperative to the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. Learn to love your gut and balance your body and mind.

DETOX

Any efforts to add elements that nourish our bodies and minds can be futile as long as we are exposed to toxins that continue to cripple our bodies ability to assimilate healthy food, clean water, mindful exercise, and healthy relationships. Removing those forces that impair our bodies is critical to allowing nourishing factors to rebuild and maintain health.

DENTAL HEALTH

Although insurance companies have deemed the oral cavity to be something completely separate from the rest of the body, the beginning of the digestive tract is one of the most important locations in the body to creating optimal health. Poor diets that create dental caries, toxic materials that poison the body and block energetic flow, and procedures that allow decaying tissue to remain in the body heavily contribute to imbalance and chronic disease. Employing biologic and holistic dental strategies can be the missing link for many people’s quest for wellness.

HORMONE BALANCE

Hormones are the messengers that help our bodies’ systems run smoothly and communicate with one another. When hormone production or balance is off due to many lifestyle factors, stress, trauma, nutrition, and relationship factors, the result is often disease. Understanding how this magnificent symphony works can be the key to creating beautiful music in your body.

SEX

Healthy sexuality is a largely overlooked aspect to maintaining optimal health, so much so that it, perhaps, should be at the top of the feel-good list. The hormones, endorphins, and neurotransmitters manufactured with sexual expression inside of healthy, connected relationships is not a bonus feature of our biology but an imperative that extends beyond just reproduction. Cultivating sexual health reaps benefits that extend well beyond the bedroom.

BREATHE

The way we breathe is very often neglected in modern models. Yoga and breathwork use the power of breath to facilitate true healing in the body without pharmaceuticals and surgery. Breath goes beyond just the exchange rates of oxygen and carbon dioxide; it also serves as a modality to move energy and even shape the body.

SLEEP

Good sleep hygiene and alignment with the natural circadian rhythms of day and night is imperative to achieving good health. Getting enough quality sleep during the hours of the night that works best with our bodies’ natural chemistry sets the stage for our bodies to maintain homeostasis. Likewise, the emerging field of sleep medicine has shed light on the impact mouth breathing, snoring, and sleep apnea have in maintaining healthy balance of hormones and neurotransmitters in the body. Breathing well and sleeping well are game changers when it comes to feeling good.

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION

Stress and trauma are responsible for 75-90% of all doctor’s office visits, but very few people really understand what stress and trauma are or how they shift the body into chronic stress response perpetuating energy and hormone imbalances that keep people unwell. Learn strategies to take your body out of fight or flight and into rest and digest.

NUTRITION

Clean eating and healthy nutritional habits are usually the entry point into feel good living, holistic wellness, and addressing root causes of chronic disease. Start by crowding out industrial foods, additives, and agrochemicals with organic whole foods and pasture raised meat, eggs, and dairy.
