Christin joins us for a deeply grounding conversation around Neurosomatic Intelligence and what it really means to feel safe in your body again after chronic stress, trauma, burnout, and pain. We explore the connection between the nervous system, the body, and healing — and how so many of us have become disconnected from ourselves in survival mode.

As a bodyworker and Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach, Christin shares how she blends neuroscience-based healing with bodywork modalities like massage, craniosacral therapy, and sound healing to help clients reconnect with themselves and reclaim the capacity to fully engage with life.

We also talk about:

• how chronic stress lives in the body
• learning to recognize safety vs. survival patterns
• why healing isn’t just mental — it’s physiological
• creating space to reclaim the parts of ourselves we’ve neglected, rejected, or overprotected

Christin has been practicing in Rogers, Arkansas for 8 years and is currently building an off-grid healing space and food forest in Southern Missouri designed to help people truly unplug, reset, and reconnect.

In this episode, we sit down with Tori, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner specializing in women’s metabolic health, to talk about what it really means to support your body on a foundational level.
Instead of quick fixes or trending protocols, Tori walks us through her holistic, science-backed approach to healing—one that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of symptoms rather than just managing them.
We dive into what a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner actually does, how personalized support can transform your health, and why metabolic health plays such a key role in how you feel day-to-day.
Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, or just feel like something is “off,” this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to work with your body—not against it.
In this episode, we cover:
– What a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner does (and how it’s different)
– The importance of bio-individual, root-cause healing
– How metabolic health impacts energy, hormones, and overall wellness
– Why foundational habits matter more than trends

What if your breakfast could support your hormones, your cholesterol, and your gut health — without feeling like “health food”?

In this episode, we sit down with Gita Chakrabarti, founder of gutBFF Granola, a Bentonville-based brand making plant-diverse, crispy, and seriously delicious granola designed to support real gut health.

After a career spanning retail, consulting, and manufacturing, Gita felt called to pursue her true passion: creating food that improves health.
