Claire Hall, a researcher at Mindset Health, joins us on episode 96 discusses menopause and the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in treating hot flashes. Summary of episode: Hypnotherapy is an effective non-drug alternative for managing hot flashes, as it has been shown to reduce their frequency and severity. It has shown in trials that hypnotherapy can reduce Hot flash severity by up to 70% . It also seems to be helpful in reducing anxiety and depression and sleep disturbances related to menopause. Mindset Health develops hypnotherapy-based apps to deliver evidence-based protocols for various conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (Nerva app), menopausal hot flashes (Evia app), and smoking cessation (Finito app). Menopause is often viewed negatively in society, but it is a natural life transition that involves hormonal changes leading to symptoms such as hot flashes. Hypnotherapy works by guiding patients into a deeply relaxed state and then providing therapeutic suggestions that reinforce coolness and control over body temperature. A study involving 10,000 Evia users found that 70% experienced a clinically significant improvement in vasomotor symptoms. Mindset Health prioritizes publishing both clinical trial data and real-world user data to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of their digital therapeutics. Hypnotherapy may be more effective than traditional treatments for hot flashes. A study published in the journal Menopause found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes had a 70% reduction in symptoms, compared to a 20% reduction in women who used hormone therapy. Hypnotherapy may help to reduce anxiety and depression during menopause. A study published in the journal Maturitas found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes experienced a significant reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms. Hypnotherapy may help to improve sleep quality during menopause. A study published in the journal Sleep found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes experienced a significant improvement in their sleep quality. Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for hot flashes that has no side effects. Unlike hormone therapy, hypnotherapy has no known side effects, making it a safe and effective option for women who are looking to relieve their hot flashes. about Claire Hall Claire is the Research Lead at Mindset Health, a digital therapeutic company that uses hypnotherapy based protocols to help people manage their health.

When people are anxious, they often get sweaty hands, increased chest pressure, shortness of breath, feel lightheaded, and they may feel tingling sensations in different parts of their body. By paying attention and having awareness to these symptoms and , they can start to calm down a little bit and self-regulate. Yet when stuck in this loop of anxiety , people often turn to learned coping behaviors or addictions to deal with these unwanted sensations. Learning to deal with this pressure cooker , before it turns into dysfunctional behavior, is something that is the work my guest Eva Angert Harren. And according the Eva, dealing with the pressure cooker does not require changing your thoughts or trying to control things. Actually its quite different; it's more about the being with the body/somatic experience and learning to release it. In this episode we go into this and much more. Eva talked about her unique work helping people with anxiety , ptsd, and also spectrum related disorders; connect with their body and create awareness. This allows for more comfort with sensations and less anxiety and dysregulation. Eva and I share a common bond as bereaved parents. I was surprised that we jumped into this topic in our conversation. Yet it was relevant. We discussed her somatic experience with the loss of her daughter, Kristina, and I share my somatic response during some experiences with my first son, Jordan.

Episode 83:  Neurostabilization with Amber Walker. Link in Profile and below, or Scan QR code on picture. The worlds of Mast Cell Activation Disorder, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome have many threads in common and many shared experiences. The common thread in these conditions expands to the fact that the symptoms, causes, and triggers are unpredictable, undefined, and this experience is largely disruptive to the nervous system. Further the nervous system disruption makes the symptoms worsen. How serious should we take neurostabilization in these conditions? To help answer this question, I welcomed on Amber Walker, PT, DPT, CFMP, CNPT.  Her unique personal and clinical journey provides a most comprehensive look at this area: We cover many things such as: Where to start when complex health conditions present.
