The Posturing for Health Podcast
Sit in with soul friends and bodyworkers, Bill Bryan and Gina Loree Bryan, as we suss out the meaning of health, the universe and everything.
We don’t have all the answers, but we love asking lots of questions!
As seekers and open-minded skeptics, we’re like explorers in the world, going about our respective days and then returning home to share, unpack, challenge, vent a little … with lots of aha’s (and the occasional snarkiness) along the way.
We hash out topics such as holistic health, the latest news headlines, the struggles of parenting, perplexing Bible passages, our next big project, compassion, gratitude, and what it means to be human.
Our hope is that you’ll come away looking at life with a little more curiosity.
Eps.3 ~ So, you got a diagnosis…
Relief? Or crisis….?
As bodyworkers, a number of our clients come in having received a ‘diagnosis’ from their health care practitioner.
Sometimes this can be a relief, when mysterious symptoms get a ‘name’.
Sometimes it can bring up more anxiety.
In this episode, we talk about:
What certain diagnostic terms actually mean (including the word, ‘diagnosis’!);
What the benefits and pitfalls are of receiving a diagnosis;
How to reframe your perception of a diagnosis, in terms of how it fits in to the larger story about your life;
One of the best things you can do to empower yourself if and when you receive a diagnosis.
Eps.2 ~ A question of balance
One question begets many more!
Continuing from our last podcast which asked the question, “What is health?”, we explore:
What did Bill mean by the terms ‘design’ and ‘purpose’, regarding the definition of health;
What is ‘balance’ in terms of health;
How the further we get from our relationship with nature creates new questions about what we need to be healthy, why we need it, and how we get it;
Are we outsourcing our innate ability to technology to adapt to changing circumstances, and, is ‘adaptation’ even a good thing;
Where do Twinkies fit in;
And … a specific ‘exercise’ to help you identify the foundations for your own working definition of health.
Eps.1 ~ What is health?
Health.
We all talk about it. Worry about it. Invest so much of ourselves to maintain it.
But how do we define it? As an individual, and as a society?
This matters, because how we define health determines which tools and strategies we employ to sustain it.
And as you’ll see, it’s more than just a question about how we support our health, but how we live our lives.
