In This Episode


  • The impact of traumas throughout life on chronic health issues.
  • Why working with the mind can be the missing puzzle piece in your healing journey.
  • How neural retraining can resolve the cell danger response.



Show Notes


Join me for episode 49 where we talk with my client and fellow Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Melissa Manning, who was interested in the MAP Method to address hypothyroidism, back pain, digestive function, and sleep issues. Hear about the benefits she experienced from 7 sessions including mental, emotional and physical shifts, and the improvement of her thyroid function.



In this episode we discuss:


  • How Melissa had tried “all the things” for her thyroid health (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) including diet changes and a functional medicine approach.
  • How subconscious stressors can impact our health.
  • Although she didn’t have significant adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), lifetime traumas can have an impact.
  • The emotional shifts during a session vs. the shifts that unfold in the weeks afterward.
  • How our work in sessions reduced negative emotional responses and behaviors.
  • The physical benefits she noted: reduction in lower back pain, improved sleep and digestion, less hair shedding, improved thyroid numbers.
  • Dr. Balcavage’s work with cellular hypothyroidism and the impact of the cell danger response.
  • The emotional benefits--handling relationships and stress better.
  • The behavioral shifts--ease in self-expression and openness.
  • Why there can be a delay between sessions and improvements in physical  symptoms.
  • Why she describes the MAP Method as not hard, not painful, but passive and soothing.
  • Why she believes anyone could benefit from MAP sessions and why she has referred others.


To learn more about the work of Dr. Eric Balcavage in cellular hypothyroidism and the Cell Danger Response you can listen to our conversation about MAP for Emotional Fitness in episode 88 of the Thyroid Answers podcast.
