Stop Ignoring Your Gut, Start Living (EP 108)

Stop Ignoring Your Gut, Start Living (EP 108)

Catherine Creestani is back to talk about what life really looks like after you walk away from the job, the title, and the version of “success” everyone else applauds but your soul can’t stand. She shares how her days now revolve around mom duties, homeschooling, writing, podcasting, and clients, and why she actually schedules empty days on purpose so her nervous system can come down out of permanent hustle mode. We talk about the difference between feeling productive and actually being in flow, and what happens when your calendar is packed but your life feels empty. Catherine walks us through how Willow Healing evolved from early channeling work and a psychic hotline to something much deeper: helping people rebuild the relationship they have with themselves. She explains inner authority as that quiet, grounded voice in you that already knows what’s right, even while your mind is busy spinning stories and checking the weather app instead of grabbing the umbrella your gut told you to take. We dig into how easily we hand our power to social media, technology, and other people’s opinions, and why so many folks can tell you what their partner is doing wrong but can’t answer a simple question: “What do you actually want?” If you’re stuck in “I can’t” or terrified of making the wrong move, this conversation is a gentle call-out and a real invitation. Catherine shares practical starter steps like doing a life audit, bringing one joyful thing back into your day, reframing “have to” tasks, and using your body’s signals as green lights and hard no’s. We also talk discernment, failure as feedback, music that magically shows up on her playlist at the exact right time, and her belief that you’re never too old or too young to be reacquainted with your soul. This one is for anyone who knows something has to change but needs help taking that first honest step. === Chapters * 01:45 New Day, New Flow * 04:14 From Corporate to Healing * 04:42 Willow Healing Emerges * 09:11 The Mediumship Question * 10:53 Managing Psychic Boundaries * 14:08 Finding Inner Purpose * 17:48 Defining Inner Authority * 24:21 Small Steps to Joy * 27:15 Trusting Your Discernment * 30:09 Music That Moves You * 31:36 Closing Reflections === Guest: Catherine Crestani, Willow Healing * Website: https://willowhealing.org [https://willowhealing.org] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willowhealingsh [https://www.instagram.com/willowhealingsh] === Resources / Companies / Books / Podcasts * Brainz Magazine, Digital Magazine: https://www.brainzmagazine.com/ [https://www.brainzmagazine.com/] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/brainz-magazine/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/brainz-magazine/] * Willow Healing Matters Podcast: vhttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/willow-healing-matters-podcast/id1760975061 * Brainz Magazine: https://www.brainzmagazine.com [https://www.brainzmagazine.com] * Whispers From My Future Self (song by Linhy): https://youtu.be/XvJ20EhvCaM?si=xbDPdXF6iEHWsctx [https://youtu.be/XvJ20EhvCaM?si=xbDPdXF6iEHWsctx] === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item * Item Title: Healthy Eating * Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P * Author Username: CrazyTunes * Licensee: Marvin Bee * Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast * License Date: January 3rd, 2026 * Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.

Letting Go Of The Life You Built (EP 107)

If you’ve ever convinced yourself, “I just need to push a little harder,” this episode might hit a little too close to home. Catherine walks us through the arc from ambitious young speech pathologist to co‑owner of a booming clinic, pulling six figures a month while quietly abandoning her own needs, values, and even her love of music to keep the peace at home and at work. We talk about how over‑functioning becomes a habit: micromanaging staff, answering 100 emails every morning, never getting sick because you’re too wired to stop, and then waking up one day realizing you don’t actually want the life you built. === Chapters * 00:40 From Burnout to Intuition * 02:44 Building a Seven-Figure Practice * 08:34 Marriage, Business, and Collapse * 13:22 Listening to the Gut * 19:14 The Body Says Quit * 20:28 Healing After Leaving * 23:19 Grieving the Dream * 25:47 Trusting Intuition Fully * 29:46 Willow Healing Begins === Guest: Catherine Crestani, Willow Healing * Website: https://willowhealing.org [https://willowhealing.org] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-crestani [https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-crestani] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willowhealingwithcatherine [https://www.instagram.com/willowhealingwithcatherine] === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item * Item Title: Healthy Eating * Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P * Author Username: CrazyTunes * Licensee: Marvin Bee * Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast * License Date: January 3rd, 2026 * Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.

Circadian Rhythm Saved My Life (EP 106)

If you’ve ever done all the “right” health things and still felt awful, Jason Yun’s story is going to sound uncomfortably familiar. He was the textbook gym owner: 4:30 am alarms, 5:15 am classes, late‑night sessions, massive smoothies, and bodybuilding nutrition that looked impressive on paper but quietly wrecked his hormones, sleep, and mental health. Behind the scenes, he went from chasing muscle and performance to dealing with a popped back on a deadlift, losing about 70 pounds, spiraling into severe depression, and battling weekly suicidal thoughts while still being “the health guy” for his clients. In our conversation, Jason opens up about napping in his car just to survive the next class, living on expert diet rules and supplements, and still ending up with upside‑down cortisol, wrecked melatonin, and a body that couldn’t keep up. That’s the line where he finally said, “enough” and went all in on circadian rhythm, light, and what he calls Mito hacking. We dig into why late‑night eating crushed his sleep, how sunrise with naked eyes started normalizing his hormones in weeks, and why timing, light, and simple daily rhythms might matter more than your macro spreadsheet or the latest stack. === Chapter * 00:23 Introduction * 01:45 Sunlight, Sunscreen, and Sunglasses * 08:28 Safe Sun Exposure Strategies * 12:06 What Is Mito Hacking? * 17:43 Skepticism and Bioharmonizing * 21:39 The Improvement Warrior Mindset * 24:11 Seasonal Eating and Circadian Nutrition * 26:51 How Fast Changes Show Up * 27:39 Light Over Food and Exercise === Guest: Jason Yun, Improvement Warrior Fitness * Website: https://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com [https://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonyun3010 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonyun3010] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitnesswithyun [https://www.instagram.com/fitnesswithyun] === Shout-outs * Dr. Jack Kruse, Kruse Longevity Center: https://jackkruse.com/ [https://jackkruse.com/] * Ben Greenfield, Ben Greenfield Life: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bengreenfield/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bengreenfield/] * Sarah Kleiner, Sarah Kleiner Wellness: https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/ [https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/] === Resources / Companies / Books / Podcasts * The Secret (book): https://amzn.to/4ulEsPE [https://amzn.to/4ulEsPE] * Website: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andymstone.sunpositiondemo [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andymstone.sunpositiondemo] * MyCircadian App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycircadian.app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycircadian.app] * Website: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076578 [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076578] * Keto diet: https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto [https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto] * Paleo diet: https://thepaleodiet.com/ [https://thepaleodiet.com/] === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item * Item Title: Healthy Eating * Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P * Author Username: CrazyTunes * Licensee: Marvin Bee * Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast * License Date: January 3rd, 2026 * Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.

Stop Giving Your Health Away (EP 105)

Magic Barclay spent more than 40 years being the “good patient” who did what she was told, took the pills, and tried to push through the pain, only to be told it was all in her head. In this conversation, she shares how chronic illness, cancer, medical gaslighting, and being quietly dropped from social invitations finally forced her to ask a hard question: what if my body has been right all along and nobody bothered to listen. We dig into how functional medicine helped her stop playing whack‑a‑mole with symptoms and start looking at root causes, including trauma, hormones, and a powerful pathway called PNEI that links your thoughts, nervous system, hormones, and immune system. Magic explains why autoimmune issues are not “your body attacking itself,” why even a paper cut counts as trauma, and how fear keeps us handing our health over to people who never teach us what’s actually happening.

It’s Not Lyme, It’s Something Else (EP 104)

If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office with “normal” labs but a body that feels like it’s falling apart, this episode is for you. Greg Lee and I dig into the tech he uses in his Lyme Research and Healing Center, a scanner that works kind of like Star Trek medicine to pick up hidden infections, toxins, brain issues, and gut problems that standard tests miss. We get into why some folks do “everything right” with antibiotics and still crash, and why so many end up asking Google and AI for answers after the medical system shrugs. Greg shares real stories you will not forget. There’s the UK school leader who spent five years treating Lyme, only to find out her biggest problem was candida overgrowth from all those antibiotics, and the woman whose chronic symptoms traced back to tarantula toxins after a beach trip in Florida. We even talk about the college kid with genius-level brains whose memory came back after snorting bee venom under supervision, plus some intense Herxheimer reactions that will make you think twice about “more meds, more often” as a strategy.
