The Wellness Advice I Refuse to Give Anymore
The wellness world keeps telling women to “just try harder.” Today, I’m drawing a line in the sand. In this episode, I share why I refuse to give the same outdated wellness advice — and what ACTUALLY creates healing, stability, emotional clarity, gut-brain balance, and transformation. If you’ve ever been told: “Just meditate.” “Just eat cleaner.” “Just move more.” “Just balance your hormones.” “Just think positively.” …and you STILL felt exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or stuck… this episode will change everything. You’re not failing. Your nervous system is dysregulated, and no strategy works without stability. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✨ Why traditional wellness advice backfires ✨ The real reason women can’t “just calm down” or “just be more disciplined.” ✨ How the EASE OS™ method rewires the gut–brain axis, nervous system, and identity ✨ Why state BEFORE strategy is the secret to sustainable transformation ✨ How to stop shaming your biology and finally work WITH your system, not against it This is the episode your future self will thank you for. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 → Introduction to EASE OS Podcast 01:30 → The Wellness Advice I Refuse to Give 03:02 → Shifting Responsibility from the Individual to the System 05:07 → Why Strategy Fails Without Stability 06:42 → Understanding the Vagus Nerve and Regulation 07:56 → Sustainable Change Through State Shifting 09:27 → The Benefits of Systemic Stability 11:08 → Why 2026 is the Year of Nervous System Healing 12:15 → Free 15-Minute Nervous System Reset 🔥 DOWNLOAD THE 15-MINUTE RESET (FREE) 👉 Experience the difference between “trying to heal” and actual stability. #nervoussystemhealing #gutbrainconnection #womenshealth #traumainformed #somatichealing #functionalmedicine #burnoutrecovery #holistichealing #EASEOS #regulationbeforetransformation Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and YouTube channel so you never miss an episode of the EASE OS: Less Effort, More Power!

I’m No Longer Available for Fragmented Wellness
In this truth-telling episode, Dr. Connie Cheung challenges the entire wellness industry and reveals why women are more exhausted, overwhelmed, and dysregulated than ever — despite having more tools, protocols, and modalities at their fingertips. If you’ve been cold plunging, meditating, cleaning up your diet, doing yoga, taking supplements, tracking macros, biohacking, or stacking wellness routines… but still feel off, inflamed, anxious, or disconnected… this episode explains exactly why. You’ll learn: • why fragmented wellness creates fragmented results • how nervous system dysregulation blocks gut healing, hormone balance, emotional stability, and energy • why no tool can override a dysregulated operating system • how EASE OS™ brings coherence back to the body • what systemic healing feels like (and why it’s different from chasing fixes) This is the episode where Dr. Connie takes a stand — not against people, but against the systems that keep women endlessly “working on themselves” instead of actually healing.

When You Give It All — The Art of Letting Go Without Losing Yourself

When You Give It All — The Art of Letting Go Without Losing Yourself
After years of holding sacred space for healing, I’ve come to realize that endings aren’t losses — they’re integrations. In this episode, I share the raw, real journey of closing my studio, the place that became so much more than a business. It was a vision born from love, built through resilience, and fulfilled through the transformation of those who trusted the process. This episode is about alignment — staying true to your vision even when few understand it. It’s about working tirelessly when no one’s watching, giving with pure intention, and realizing that what we create out of love never truly ends — it evolves. If you’ve ever had to let go of something you poured your soul into, this conversation is for you. Because when you stay true, what you lose in form, you gain in depth. Get deep. Stay real. Be you. The intentions will heal you. Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and YouTube channel so you never miss an episode of the Mind Your Health, Rewired! We release new episodes every week.

From Breakdown to Breakthrough: My Dialysis Story When life brought me to my knees — I listened, rewired, and rose.
There was a moment — in the sterile hum of a dialysis clinic — when Dr. Connie Cheung realized everything she had built, every identity she held, was breaking. Her education, her training, her health, her motherhood, her womanhood — all felt stripped away. And yet… in that breakdown, something else awakened. In this intimate and powerful episode, Dr. Connie shares the full story of how kidney failure forced her into stillness, grief, surrender — and ultimately, transformation. You’ll hear what saved her when nothing else could, what healing actually looks like from the inside, and how the Human OS™ framework was born from the depths of that darkness. This isn’t just her story. It’s a mirror for anyone who has suffered, lost, broken — and still dares to rise. Unlimited membership: https://functionalyogamedicine.com/.

In this raw and powerful episode, Dr. Connie Cheung shares what happened when she hit the edge of evidence-based care, both as a practitioner and a patient.

You’ll learn: - Why conventional training often fails to prepare practitioners for real healing - How trauma, stress, and disconnection are the root cause of most chronic conditions - The birth of Functional Yoga Medicine™ and Human OS™ as a radical return to integrated healing - How to evolve beyond your training and rise as the medicine #WhatTheyNeverTaughtUs #HumanOS #FunctionalYogaMedicine #PractitionerBurnout #HealingBeyondTheTextbook #SomaticHealing #TraumaInformedCare #NervousSystemWisdom #RewireToRise #HolisticHealthLeadership #ScienceAndSoul #HealingRedefined #YouAreTheMedicine

Healing Begins the Moment You Stop Outsourcing Your Safety

Healing Begins the Moment You Stop Outsourcing Your Safety
The most overlooked truth in healing — and how to reclaim your power. You've tried the protocols, followed the experts, taken the supplements, booked the healers — and you're still stuck in the same patterns. Why? Because true healing doesn't come from outsourcing your power. It comes from rebuilding your internal sense of safety. In this episode, Dr. Connie Cheung shares the hard truth she learned through personal illness and professional expertise: most people are stuck not because they lack tools, but because they’ve never been taught how to feel safe in their own body. This episode will change how you approach healing forever. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still breaking down, this is your turning point. #FunctionalYogaMedicine #TraumaInformedHealing #NervousSystemHealing #StopOutsourcingHealing #SomaticHealing #EASEMethod #EmbodiedHealing #HealingIsSafety #SelfSourcedHealing #YouAreTheMedicine

Why yoga — the very thing I built my life and identity around — stopped working for me.

Why yoga — the very thing I built my life and identity around — stopped working for me.
For years, I believed yoga would save me. And for a while — it did. Until it didn’t. In this episode, Dr. Connie Cheung opens up about the point in her journey when her beloved practice stopped working — when meditation became too hard, movement felt disconnected, and her body could no longer be “fixed” through willpower. What followed was a radical redefinition of what healing really is. You’ll hear how Functional Yoga Medicine™ was born — not as another method, but as a reclamation. And how most people are practicing yoga with a nervous system still stuck in survival… which means their practice becomes performance, not presence. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things and still stuck — this episode is your invitation to begin again, with your body as your guide. https://functionalyogamedicine.com/, https://www.hossystems.com/fymcp-humanOS, https://www.hossystems.com/human-os-health-reset, #WhyYogaDidntFixMe #HumanOS #FunctionalYogaMedicine #SomaticHealing #NervousSystemReset #TraumaInformedYoga #HealingIsNotPerformance #EmbodiedHealing #EASEMethod #YogaThatHeals

Why You Can’t Heal When You’re Still in Survival — And How to Finally Reset Your Body’s Opera
If you’ve been feeling stuck — like your body isn’t responding, your efforts aren’t working, and your mind keeps spinning — you’re not broken. You’re in survival mode. In this episode, Dr. Connie Cheung decodes how your nervous system silently drives your habits, health, and healing — and why most wellness approaches fail because they ignore this root-level operating system. You’ll learn the 4 Nervous System Archetypes, how to recognize them in yourself and others, and what it really takes to reset your body and mind from the inside out.

You Are the Ocean: Consciousness, Healing, and the Truth of Who We Are — with Dr. Tony Nader
What if the root of healing isn’t in pills or protocols — but in consciousness itself? In this powerful episode of Human OS™: Mind Your Health, Rewired, Dr. Connie Cheung sits down with Dr. Tony Nader, neuroscientist, author, and global leader of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) movement. Together, they explore the profound science of consciousness, the limitations of symptom-based medicine, and how awakening the deeper operating system within us leads to true health, peace, and power. Dr. Nader, with a background from MIT, Harvard, and decades of Vedic study, breaks down how our physiology mirrors universal intelligence — and why you are not your body, your diagnosis, or your past. You are the ocean… vast, unbounded, and whole. We dive into: The link between consciousness and physical healing Why most health systems miss the root cause of suffering The science behind Transcendental Meditation (TM) and its impact on brain function, trauma, and stress How ancient Vedic knowledge maps directly onto human physiology A new vision for medicine, education, and society Whether you’re a seeker, a skeptic, or a scientist — this conversation will leave you rethinking what it means to be well. :link:Learn more about Dr. Nader: :globe_with_meridians: https://drtonynader.com :blue_book: One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness – available via his website :link: Explore Transcendental Meditation (TM): :globe_with_meridians: https://tm.org

The System Isn’t Broken—It Was Never Built for Your Health

The System Isn’t Broken—It Was Never Built for Your Health
In this unapologetically honest episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on our so-called “healthcare” system—and why it’s failing so many of us. I share my personal experience of waiting hours for a 5-minute doctor visit, navigating systemic red tape, and facing medical negligence, dismissal, and even emotional harm from practitioners who were supposed to help. 🌿 This system wasn’t built for wellness—it was built for crisis. For code-based billing. For symptom suppression. And if you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsafe in a doctor’s office, you’re not imagining it. But here's the truth: your health is your responsibility. And the most radical, powerful thing you can do is stop waiting for permission to heal. This episode is your wake-up call and invitation to move, nourish, and pay attention before your body breaks down. Because actual health isn’t passive. It’s created, moment by moment, with intention. If you’re tired of the band-aid solutions and ready to reclaim your health from a system never built to serve it, this one’s for you. ✨ #TheSystemIsBroken #ReclaimYourHealth #FunctionalMedicine #RootCauseHealing #SelfHealingJourney #SickCareVsHealthCare #HealthFreedom #HolisticHealthMatters #WellnessRevolution #WomenWhoHeal #EmpoweredWellness #FunctionalYogaMedicine #HealthIsWealth #HealingIsPossible #PreventDontPatch #RadicalSelfCare #WakeUpToWellness #SelfCareIsHealthcare #MedicineNeedsReform #WholeBodyHealing Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and YouTube channel so you never miss an episode of the Mind Your Health Show!

When Wellness Becomes a War: My Journey from Self-Rejection to True Health

When Wellness Becomes a War: My Journey from Self-Rejection to True Health
In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the toxic relationship I once had with my own body—masked as “health.” What looked like discipline and dedication was actually self-rejection, shaped by cultural expectations, internalized shame, and a fixation on being thin over being well. 🌿 I share how chasing perfection and attaching my worth to a number on the scale led to physical imbalance, emotional depletion, and a complete disconnect from my body. But now, in my 50s, I see clearly: true health has nothing to do with aesthetics—and everything to do with how we treat ourselves when no one is watching. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt not enough. Anyone who’s been praised for their willpower while silently suffering. And anyone ready to trade self-punishment for self-respect. You are not broken. You don’t need fixing. You need freedom—and a new definition of health that includes peace, power, and presence. ✨ Functional Yoga Medicine Online Membership 👉 Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and YouTube channel so you never miss an episode of the Mind Your Health Show!

The Protein Obsession: What We’re Missing About Nutrition
We’ve been told that protein is the ultimate health hack — that we need to hit a specific number of grams each day or risk losing muscle, energy, or progress. But what if this hyper-focus on protein is actually pulling us away from real nourishment? In this episode, Dr. Connie breaks down the science behind protein needs — separating fact from fitness-industry fiction. You’ll learn: What the RDA actually means (and why it’s often misunderstood) How much protein is enough — and when it’s too much The impact of protein obsession on gut health, mindset, and true well-being Why intuitive, whole-food-based eating is a more sustainable and empowering approach If you’re tired of tracking macros, overthinking meals, or feeling anxious about getting “enough,” this episode will help you reclaim clarity and reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom. 💡 Ready to nourish yourself from the inside out? ✨ Join the Functional Yoga Medicine membership — launching in April — for personalized tools, community support, and a practical path to healing. 👉 Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and YouTube channel so you never miss an episode of the Mind Your Health Show!
