Have you ever considered the intricate dance between your gut health and your overall wellness? Linda Murphy, a registered holistic nutritionist, returns to our show to illuminate the significant, yet often unheralded, connection between gut health and various diseases. With a holistic lens sharpened by personal health battles, including a cancer diagnosis, Linda unpacks the cascade of issues that follow the use of protein pump inhibitors and the critical nature of maintaining a healthy gut for nutrient absorption. Her insights extend to her work with HealingStrong, where she aids others in navigating their health journeys with the support of this empowering community.
Feeling the weight of stress on your shoulders and your stomach? This episode shines a light on how stress isn't just a mental burden—it physically diverts blood flow from your digestive system, hindering your ability to absorb crucial nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and B12. We open up about the emotional facets of stress management and their direct impact on the success of healthy lifestyle habits. Linda Murphy also helps us unravel the common misconceptions about acid reflux, explaining that low stomach acid is frequently the true culprit, not the excess we often blame.
And when it comes to maintaining strong bones, it seems digestion plays a lead role in this bodily performance. We share personal tales and revelations regarding acid reflux, diet, and stress, while offering actionable advice to enhance digestion—like the simple but effective practice of diaphragm breathing before meals. Through thoughtful eating, mindful living, and aligning with supportive networks like Healing Strong, this episode is a treasure trove of strategies to improve not just digestive health, but our overall vitality. Join us for a deep exploration into how minor lifestyle changes can elicit major wellness wins.

Following the demise of Sue, the original group leader, in 2019, Denise stepped up to guide others on their healing journey. Denise's growth as a leader, her experiences as a member of the Healing Strong community, and the support she found from individuals around the globe are lessons in resilience and connection.
Shifting gears to the medical side of healing, Denise shares knowledge about the importance of the lymphatic system and its role in detoxification. She details her own experiences with manual lymphatic drainage, offering tips for at-home treatments to aid the lymphatic system. The conversation concludes with an overview of the HealingStrong community's membership program and the benefits it provides. Whether you're dealing with cancer or an autoimmune disorder, Denise's story serves as a testament to the healing power of community support and the strength found in holistic care.

Do you ever wonder about the healing power of music and how a simple tune can transform a daunting situation into a powerful experience? Picture this: Jim, our host, sitting in an oncology clinic, earphones plugged in, lost in Ellie Holcomb's music. Today, we are fortunate to engage in an inspiring conversation with Ellie herself, a gifted singer-songwriter who's been a beacon of light during Jim's cancer journey.
Ellie and Jim take us through their heartwarming first meeting, drawing on the mutual love for record clubs and the profound influence of legendary producer, Brown Bannister. Ever felt like your story is part of a greater narrative? Ellie helps unveil this beautiful connection with her music and faith as our guides. She opens up about her childhood, her father's significant role in shaping her career, and how a family Christmas record played a special part in Jim's life. Together, they navigate the weighty subjects of a cancer diagnosis and the strength found in faith.
As we journey with Ellie and Jim, we also gain insight into her new musical projects. Imagine being uplifted by the power of Psalms. She also speaks candidly about her plans for a devotional book and how her faith, family, and music have been pillars during difficult times. Ellie's experiences with homeschooling during the pandemic and her efforts in shedding light in the darkness through music are nothing short of inspirational. Join us as we wrap up with an encouraging note on the HealingStrong organization.
