EP187: The Medicalization of Personality - Part 1

You may think your personality is who you are… but what if it’s something different? In Part 1 of this 3-Part series, Christina breaks down the concept of personality from its origins in ancient frameworks to how it became something medicalized in modern society — revealing that the more disconnected you are from your TRUE SELF, the easier you are to predict, control, and monetize. But sadly, most people don’t even realize it’s happening. Christina shares her personal experience with emotional processing, communication, and perception, including the tool that completely shifted how she understood her own patterns, and even reality. She also breaks down how you can start using that same tool to understand yourself, and others in a way you never have before. If you haven't listened to Beyond the Body episodes 183, 184, and 186 yet — start there. Understanding how YOU’VE been trained to reinforce the patterns you call “your personality” hits differently when you already understand why you became who you think you are. 🤯 Topics Discussed: * Why "that's just how I am" is the most limiting thing you can say about yourself * Where “personality” actually came from, and how it has evolved * The elements (fire, water, earth, air) as an ancient lens for imbalance and deficiency * How human behavior became something to diagnose, control, and monetize * Christina’s psychological struggles with emotional disconnect and relationships * Christina’s unhelpful experience working with a psychologist * A critical look at “Personality Type Tests” — including one that goes deeper than the rest * How core fears and motivations drive your behaviour * Why avoiding triggers can block your ability to emotionally regulate * How psychology tools can free you... or trap you deeper Key Links: 📱 Christina's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/knifina/]  💪 Cut & Conquer Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/cutandconquerfitness/] 📝 Coaching Application [https://cutandconquer.typeform.com/CQA-application] 🌍 Free FB Community [https://www.facebook.com/groups/weightsandwellness/] 🧠 Free “Skool” Fitness Material [https://www.skool.com/cut-conquer-fitness-3981] Take the Enneagram Test Below: https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test [https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test]  Want to try Female-Focused Beef Organ Supplements? 👑 Get 25% OFF Primal Queen [https://www.primalqueen.com/CHRISTINA44070] No discount code needed, simply use the link above. 🌶️ Healthy Devil Seasoning [https://healthydevil.ca/collections/all] [DISCOUNT CODE: BEYONDTHEBODY10] Episodes Mentioned: Ep 183: Releasing Self Judgment: The Illusion of Perfection - Part 1 [https://open.spotify.com/episode/7pDW8eJlIkTSz6koaOkbwk?si=KkPKEXdsS8SaycXmTys2PA] Ep 184: Exposing the Patterns Keeping Us Stuck - Part 2 [https://open.spotify.com/episode/10iGElXnuxhUK9buLRsGIB?si=jre1VTjnQGaM_aub7E_akw] Ep 186: Why You’re Being Misunderstood - Part 3 [https://open.spotify.com/episode/0dTFKLm9Zjkaw6M4FimvVv?si=w0HuGdaCRYKNw48czH4o8Q] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

EP186: Why You're Being Misunderstood - Part 3

Christina examines one of the most misunderstood aspects of communication: the gap between what is said, what is meant, and what is actually heard. Most people believe communication is about clarity… saying the right thing, using the right words, or explaining themselves better. But this episode challenges that assumption entirely. Christina unpacks how meaning is not contained within language itself, but constructed by the person receiving it. Through personal stories and evidence-based insights, she explores how differences in perception, attachment patterns, nervous system responses, and conditioning shape every interaction. Topics Discussed: * Why communication is not just about what you say, but what the other person takes from it * How attachment styles, triggers and past experiences shape perception and meaning * Personal stories of how communication breaks down via assumptions and misinterpretation * The role of media, social conditioning, and observed behavior in shaping communication patterns * Self-regulation vs. using your partner as an emotional outlet * Love languages, their limitations, and the concept of “reverse love language” * Ego, defensiveness, and the need to be right vs. the desire to connect * The role of metacognition in interrupting reactive patterns * Turning conflict into connection instead of a power struggle This conversation challenges listeners to move into deeper awareness, responsibility, and intentionality with their communication; recognizing that you are not just speaking, but simultaneously interpreting and assigning meaning. Because often, the issue isn’t what was said…It’s that what was heard wasn’t what was meant.

EP185: Organ Meats & Ancestral Nutrition For Women

Organ meats and ancestral nutrition aren’t a trend.. They’re a return to how the human body was designed to be nourished! And organ supplements are one way to reintroduce the highly bioavailable, tissue-specific nutrients that most of us lack. In this episode, I unpack the common dismissal of women’s health concerns in modern medicine, simply because their blood work falls within "normal ranges", or they appear “healthy”. We talk about how symptoms like painful periods, irregular cycles, weight gain, mood instability, fatigue, and low libido have become so normalized they’re brushed off as stress, age, or “just hormones", rather than addressing potential underlying nutrient depletion that organ-based nutrition can help support. I explain why hormones don’t work in isolation, why nutrient density in food matters more than most people realize, and why standard labs only show a piece of what’s actually happening inside the body. This episode also dives into the underrepresentation of women (specifically post-menopause) in medical research, how that impacts treatment, and why nutrition deserves far more respect in modern health conversations. I also share my personal experience with cycle irregularity, Primal Queen Supplements, and why organ-based nutrition is part of my own routine. Key Topics: * The ancestral concept of “like supports like” with organ-specific nutrition * Modern diets lack the enzymes, cofactors, and bioavailable micronutrients organs provide * Painful periods, cycle irregularity, mood instability, fatigue, weight gain, and low libido * How “normal” blood work can still coexist with very devastating symptoms * Estrogen metabolism, liver function, mitochondrial health, and nervous system overload * The underrepresentation of women in clinical research and its consequences * Why most organ supplements stop at liver, heart, and kidney * Why I like Primal Queen Supplements: inclusion of female reproductive organs * Proper supplement sourcing, third-part testing, digestion, and individualized context * Why supplements can never replace food, training, recovery, and lifestyle Key Links: 📱 Christina's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/knifina/]  💪 Cut & Conquer Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/cutandconquerfitness/] 📝 Coaching Application [https://cutandconquer.typeform.com/CQA-application] 🌍 Free FB Community [https://www.facebook.com/groups/weightsandwellness/] 🧠 Free “Skool” Fitness Material [https://www.skool.com/cut-conquer-fitness-3981] Want to try Female-Focused Beef Organ Supplements? 👑 Get 25% OFF Primal Queen [https://www.primalqueen.com/CHRISTINA44070] No discount code needed, simply use the link above. 🌶️ Healthy Devil Seasoning [https://healthydevil.ca/collections/all] [DISCOUNT CODE: BEYONDTHEBODY10] Episodes Mentioned: EP:157 Nutrition for Healthy Hormones & Weight Loss [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4lAUyk6haG65oRdJH9CtzA?si=0b0RJQZPR926vwTQDLDbIw] EP:160 Food, Fat Loss, & Muscle Growth [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4iQlV1jFSKhedMn0r7S3UG?si=eVolNRwCROic-sNPTmZhdA] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

EP184: Exposing the Patterns Keeping Us Stuck - Part 2

In Part 2 of this series, we move beyond awareness and into pattern recognition: how your unconscious is running the show, even when you think you’re making aligned decisions. Because whatever is unacknowledged inside of you, will express itself outside of you. This episode builds directly on Part 1, where we explored how fear-based scripts were formed before you had the awareness to question them. Now, we unpack the idea of “as above, so below” and how unacknowledged beliefs inevitably show up as habits, behaviors, and repeated life situations. I share personal examples from my own life and patterns I see with fitness clients at Cut & Conquer, especially around binge eating, discipline, and self-sabotage. This episode introduces three core energetic signatures that commonly keep people stuck, not as labels, but as lenses for understanding behavior without self-judgment. The goal isn’t to fix yourself, but to see clearly enough to choose differently. Topics Discussed: * How unconscious fear-based agreements still run your behavior, even during “self-improvement” * “As above, so below”: How internal beliefs create external patterns * Over-correction as protection: hyper-independence, perfectionism, and control * Why binge eating, sabotage, and “lack of discipline” are signals, not flaws * The 3 energetic signatures that commonly run people’s lives: - The Defensive Self (Armored One archetype) - The Unrealized Self (Eternal Girl archetype) - The Dissociated Self (Unseen One archetype) * How attachment styles and nervous system responses shape fitness, relationships, and consistency * Projection, judgment, and why what triggers you isn’t actually about other people * Using awareness and metacognition to interrupt patterns before they repeat * Envy vs jealousy: different wounds, different stories, different survival strategies Key Links: 📱 Christina's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/knifina/]  💪 Cut & Conquer Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/cutandconquerfitness/] 📝 Coaching Application [https://cutandconquer.typeform.com/CQA-application] 🌍 Free FB Community [https://www.facebook.com/groups/weightsandwellness/] 🧠 Free “Skool” Fitness Material [https://www.skool.com/cut-conquer-fitness-3981] Episode Sponsors: 🌶️ Healthy Devil Seasoning [https://healthydevil.ca/collections/all] [DISCOUNT CODE: BEYONDTHEBODY10] 💊 BulkBully Supplements [https://www.bulkbullysupplements.com/] [DISCOUNT CODE: BEYONDTHEBODY15] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
