Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam  Join Dr. Jamie Gilliam and neurotype training expert Mike Millner in this powerful Heal Your Body episode as they discuss nuerotype training for a happier, healthier, and fitter you. Neurotype training focuses on tailoring fitness and nutrition plans based on your unique brain chemistry and personality traits, offering a personalized approach to achieving optimal health and wellness. Understanding your neurotype offers profound insights into your unique fitness and nutrition needs. Neurotypes, which are based on your brain chemistry and personality traits, influence how you respond to different types of exercise and dietary choices. For instance, some neurotypes thrive on high-intensity workouts and require a diet rich in protein to support their active lifestyle, while others might benefit more from moderate, steady-state exercises and a balanced intake of carbohydrates and fats. By aligning your fitness and nutrition plan with your neurotype, you can optimize your performance, energy levels, and overall well-being. Beyond physical needs, your neurotype also impacts your mental and emotional health. Different neurotypes have varying stress responses, motivational drivers, and coping mechanisms. Understanding these aspects allows you to tailor not only your exercise and diet but also your daily routines and stress management strategies. For example, a neurotype prone to anxiety might benefit from mindfulness practices and a structured, predictable workout schedule, whereas a more resilient neurotype might thrive with spontaneous, varied routines. Embracing your neurotype enables a holistic approach to health, ensuring that both your body and mind are nurtured according to your individual needs. Tune in to this episode to gain actionable insights and strategies to help you become happier, healthier, and fitter. Whether you’re looking to optimize your workouts, improve your diet, or enhance your overall well-being, this episode is packed with valuable information to guide you on your journey. Mike Millner has been a high level nutrition coach for over 10 years. He has a gift for understanding the psychological and physiological needs of his clients, which has led to thousands of success stories using neurotype training principles.

Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam  In this Heal Your Body episode, Dr. Jamie Gilliam deep dives into lab testing and provides a comprehensive presentation that sheds light on the world of laboratory tests. Gain clarity on which tests are necessary, the difference between optimal and normal lab ranges, and the interconnectedness of different lab values. She begins by exploring the importance of comprehensive lab testing in healthcare, emphasizing how these tests offer crucial insights into your health status, aiding in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment decisions. If you've been told, "Your labs are normal," the first question to ask is, "What lab tests were ordered?" Dr. Jamie also explains how initial comprehensive lab results can indicate the need for further diagnostic testing or a referral to the appropriate specialty care provider. A key focus of this episode is the concept of optimal vs. normal (allopathic) lab ranges. While normal ranges are said to indicate typical values seen in a healthy population, these ranges are often too broad. A patient can be symptomatic with lab values within a broad lab range, while another is asymptomatic. Optimal ranges are more narrow than normal lab ranges, which reflect optimal health. Understanding these distinctions can help you and your healthcare provider identify potential health issues early and also can aid in properly diagnosing existing conditions. Dr. Jamie also explores the connections between various lab values, illustrating how one value can influence or be influenced by another. She explains the importance of evaluating labs as a whole instead of evaluating each lab value independently. For example, she discusses how LDL cholesterol levels are associated with thyroid hormone levels and many other levels within your lab results, yet many providers do not acknowledge the connection. Understanding these interconnections provides an in-depth view of how the 12 body systems are functioning independently and together, which allows for targeted interventions to optimize health outcomes.

Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam  Do you find yourself struggling with managing your weight, trying countless methods to shed those extra pounds without success? Has the age-old advice, 'Just eat less and move more,' left you feeling frustrated and at a loss? Join Dr. Jamie Gilliam and her husband, Brannon Gilliam, on an eye-opening journey in this episode titled 'The Truth About Weight Loss,' where they unravel the complexities surrounding weight management, dispelling common misconceptions. Dr. Jamie and Brannon are experts in the fitness industry with decades of experience and once held the belief that exercise and nutrition were the sole keys to weight management. This viewpoint aligns with what fitness certifications and related degree programs often emphasize, which is why the majority of fitness trainers believe that the primary reason a client doesn't lose weight despite applying exercise and nutrition protocols is due to a lack of effort. After facing personal challenges with weight management due to health conditions and physical limitations, Dr. Jamie and Brannon sought additional education about weight management complexities, leading to a change in their perspectives. Their experiences and education have illuminated a more intricate truth: the human body is far more complex than the simplistic exercise-and-diet narrative suggests. They recognize the myriad factors at play, and they invite you to join their discussion. Dr. Jamie and Brannon will shed light on health conditions and medications impacting body weight, the role of quality nutrition and physical activity, the important of stress and sleep management, the mind body connection, navigating prevalent misinformation online and societal pressures and stigmas connected to body image and weight. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Jamie and Brannon offer invaluable insights into why managing weight can be challenging and provide actionable steps you can take to address these struggles. You don't have to struggle with your weight and feel like crap. You don't have to feel like a failure. By understanding your body and adopting an approach tailored to your individual needs, you can look and feel your best. ~ More About Heal Your Body with Dr. Jamie Gilliam ~  Dr. Jamie Gilliam is the founder of JG Wellness Clinic, where they specialize in addressing various health concerns, with a focus on thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalances within the endocrine system, autoimmune diseases, and assisting patients striving to achieve weight loss goals.

Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam  Menopause, a natural phase of a woman's aging process, is poorly understood by society and numerous medical professionals. While menopause is a normal part of the aging process for women, we do not have to tolerate its affects on our physical and mental well being. Menopause, characterized by a decline in specific hormones, is not classified as a medical condition, but it can instigate a host of medical issues and mental health challenges. Perimenopause signifies the initial stage of this transition for women, marked by the gradual reduction in hormone production by the ovaries. This period typically begins a decade or more prior to menopause, bringing with it a spectrum of symptoms and changes that women struggle with. Many women begin experiencing weight gain, low libido, brain fog, constipation, pain intolerance, vaginal dryness, mood swings, depression, anxiety and other symptoms at the onset of perimenopause. When women express their symptoms to their healthcare providers, they often find themselves prescribed antidepressants, advised to increase exercise and reduce their food intake, or simply dismissed with the phrase, "it's just a natural part of life." In this episode on the Heal Your Body Show, Dr. Jamie Gilliam will guide you through the intricacies of menopause, providing insight into its various stages, the importance of accurate testing, the potential health conditions associated with this phase, and the array of treatment options available to support women navigating menopause. From holistic approaches to the benefits of hormone replacement therapy, women have options when navigating this pivotal stage in their lives. ~ More About Heal Your Body with Dr. Jamie Gilliam ~  Dr. Jamie Gilliam is the founder of JG Wellness Clinic, where they specialize in addressing various health concerns, with a focus on thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalances within the endocrine system, autoimmune diseases, and assisting patients striving to achieve weight loss goals.

Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam  Join Dr. Jamie Gilliam and guest Vickie Smith for a candid conversation about women's sexual pleasure and intimacy. This is a topic that is often shrouded in silence and misunderstanding in our society, primarily because of the stigmas and taboos that have been attached to it throughout history. These societal norms and preconceptions create a culture of secrecy and shame that prevents open and honest conversations about a subject that is vital to every person's well-being and fulfillment. Breaking down these barriers and shedding light on these issues is essential to empower women and promote healthier, more informed discussions about sexual pleasure and intimacy. Many women have received inadequate or even nonexistent education about their own bodies, and this educational gap often extends only as far as a basic 5th-grade sex education class. As a result, women are left with limited knowledge about their own anatomy, which can lead to a lack of understanding about what brings them physical pleasure. Many women also face barriers including physical conditions, emotional trauma and other underlying factors that can ultimately lead some women to avoid or fear sexual encounters altogether. In this episode, Dr. Jamie Gilliam and guest Vickie Smith provide practical advice and tools for women who want to find freedom in exploring sexual pleasure and intimacy. Dr Jamie and Vickie will also touch on the importance of seeking professional help when necessary. Vickie Smith is on a mission to break the silence about women's sexual pleasure and intimacy. As a wife of 31 years and a mom, she believes this is a topic that is not discussed often enough. She has been teaching women about their bodies and how to enjoy intimacy for nine years. She transition from a career in banking and finance to a full-time Pure Romance consulting career. As a devout Christian, Vickie first struggled with the concept of openly speaking about women's sexual pleasure and intimacy. She wanted to ensure that her journey would align with her faith and honor God. After seeking advice from her husband and pastor, and after a lot of prayer, Vickie found her true calling: to empower women to find freedom in their bodies and in intimacy. http://www.prbyvickies.com/ ~ More About Heal Your Body with Dr. Jamie Gilliam ~  Dr. Jamie Gilliam is the founder of JG Wellness Clinic, where they specialize in addressing various health concerns, with a focus on thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalances within the endocrine system, autoimmune diseases, and assisting patients striving to achieve weight loss goals.

Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam  Trauma can impact your body and your life. Most of us journey through life, often merely attempting to survive from an early age. We confront a multitude of challenges, stress, and trauma, and we often find ourselves striving to conform to the expectations of others. We begin frequently setting aside our true selves to exist in a chaotic world, all in an effort to evade conflict, gain acceptance, and experience love. Additionally, we tend to view the world, ourselves, and others through the lenses of our own stress and trauma. We often become captives of our stress and trauma, failing to even recognize the extent of their hold on us. This not only leads to an unfulfilling life but can also cause physical illness. You have the power to transform your pain into purpose. You can heal, and you have the ability to leave an extraordinary impact on the world. In this episode, Dr. Jamie Gilliam and special guest Matthew Paetz discuss how trauma healing can heal your body and change your life. Matthew Paetz, MBA, MS, is an expert in neuroscience and childhood trauma. His insights and experiences offer a fresh and transformative perspective on how we can navigate life's challenges. Matthew's core philosophy centers around the idea of turning pain into purpose and living a life of creation versus conditioning. He firmly believes that by embracing our past traumas and channeling them into a positive force, we can not only heal ourselves but also create a life that is truly fulfilling. Matthew encourages us to break free from societal norms and the limitations imposed by our past experiences. He teaches that we have the power to redefine our paths and rewrite our narratives, ultimately taking control of our destinies. His unique approach to changing perspectives is truly inspiring. He helps us see ourselves, our relationships, and the world in an entirely new light. ~ More About Heal Your Body with Dr. Jamie Gilliam ~  Dr. Jamie Gilliam is the founder of JG Wellness Clinic, where they specialize in addressing various health concerns, with a focus on thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalances within the endocrine system, autoimmune diseases, and assisting patients striving to achieve weight loss goals.

Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam I was cruising through life, and then suddenly, I had thyroid cancer. As I began healing from surgery and adjusting to a new life with hypothyroidism due to my thyroidectomy, another blow came: a diagnosis of cervical cancer. My first thought was, 'I don't have time for this.' My second thought was: 'I'm going to die and miss seeing my kids grow up.' Fortunately, I am still here today, and my life has completely changed. Cancer led me to healing. Cancer became my teacher, guiding me down a path of self-discovery I never anticipated. It has taught me so much about myself, my body, and my life. I've realized that healing is about so much more than what's on your plate, how often you go to the gym, or what supplements you take. True healing encompasses your entire being and begins with loving yourself, respecting yourself, and knowing that you are worth your best effort. On the 'Heal Your Body' show, Christine McIver, CEO of Inspired Choices Network will be talking with Dr. Jamie Gilliam, Integrative Medicine Practitioner, and she will equip us with valuable tools for our own personal healing journey.
