Dr. Leah Johansen’s Path to Healing: Harnessing Belief and Self-Worth
In today’s episode of SuperAge, Dr. Leah Johansen, a functional medicine expert, delves into the profound connection between emotional well-being and physical health. With a background in both traditional medicine and energy work, Dr. Johansen offers listeners valuable insights into how their mindset and beliefs can shape their health outcomes.
Healing Through Mindset
Dr. Johansen explains that our health isn’t solely dependent on physical interventions like medication or diet but is deeply influenced by our emotional and mental states. Chronic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension, she reveals, often have roots in unresolved emotional stress. “You are not going to reverse chronic disease if your self-esteem is low,” she says. By addressing these emotional underpinnings, patients can make lasting changes in their health.
The Power of Breath and Awareness
A critical takeaway from the conversation is the power of breathwork and mindfulness in regulating stress. Dr. Johansen highlights how our belief systems—whether we feel safe, loved, or capable—have measurable impacts on our body’s electromagnetic field. By practicing mindful breathing and increasing our self-awareness, we can shift our bodies into a state of calm, which is vital for healing.
Practical Techniques for Wellness
For those looking to make changes today, Dr. Johansen suggests simple practices like daily breathing exercises, cultivating gratitude, and taking moments of silence to ground oneself. These small steps can have a profound effect on stress levels, heart rate variability, and overall health.
In Conclusion: Find the Root Cause
Dr. Leah Johansen’s approach to wellness is not just about treating symptoms but about finding the root causes of one’s health challenges. By integrating the mind, body, and emotions, her holistic method empowers individuals to live healthier, more balanced lives.
