Wellness By Design
Welcome to the Wellness By Design podcast. I believe every one of us has the power to achieve optimal wellness not by reacting to the world around us but by intentionally designing a life based on what our own body needs. This show is for people who want to relieve pain and inflammation naturally by addressing root causes, rather than masking symptoms and by tapping into the wisdom of their body, mind and spirit. And I want to give you the tools to help make that happen.

We also dive into the essential components of building resilience and why now is the best time to strengthen it. Plus, you’ll get a sneak peek into her upcoming Resilient Motherhood Summit!

Her passion for root cause-focused nutrition stems from her own struggles with illness, infertility, and feeling forgotten by conventional medicine. After overcoming severe mold exposure that triggered the loss of her first pregnancy as well as countless other debilitating symptoms, Dr. B explored every corner of improving cellular health; she researched overlooked causes of chronic illness, such as mold, parasites, reactivated viral infections, and a dysregulated nervous system and was alarmed at the lack of continuous care offered by the conventional model. Dr. Cummings holds an impressive list of qualifications, with her Doctorate of Clinical Nutrition from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. She lives in Idaho with her husband and two young daughters and is a proud homeschooler, foodie, and Lego enthusiast.

181. Releasing Emotions Behind Illness with Helen Armstrong | Jane Hogan

181. Releasing Emotions Behind Illness with Helen Armstrong | Jane Hogan
Download my free guided meditation audio bundle here: Did you know that unprocessed emotions can worsen chronic pain and illness? Releasing emotions tied to stress, trauma, or grief helps the body relax, reducing inflammation and tension that contribute to persistent discomfort. Addressing the emotional roots of illness fosters a deeper connection between mind and body, paving the way for holistic recovery. Join me and my guest, Helen Armstrong, to learn more about techniques that can uncover and release these hidden emotional burdens, promoting both physical and emotional healing. In this episode you’ll learn: ⏰ 01:00 - Intro ⏰ 02:35 - Helen’s background and how she began holistic healing ⏰ 07:32 - Emotions are nearly always a root cause ⏰ 11:15 - Applying the Emotion Code ⏰ 24:45 - Practices to help clear emotions ⏰ 38:21 - The ONE thing you can do to activate self-healing Check out Helen Armstrong’s Bio: Helen’s life journey has been one of exploration, resilience, and transformation. As a young girl, she moved from England to the United States, then three more times before the age of 12 with her family, eventually adding a few more states and another European stop to her list in adulthood. Constantly adapting to new places and cultures, Helen learned the art of listening deeply, connecting with others, and understanding people from all walks of life. Yet, as often as she learned to blend in, she also knew what it meant to feel different and like an outsider. From an early age, Helen was a highly sensitive and empathetic child who felt the world deeply, experiencing emotions and energies that others didn’t seem to notice. As her British family encouraged her to be "appropriate" and fit societal norms, Helen’s natural vibrancy began to dim, leaving her struggling to find ways to cope with emotions that felt too big to contain. This internal conflict led her down a difficult path with eating disorders and depression. Helen spent most of her energy hiding the guilt, shame and overwhelm that she felt to fit in and feign ‘normalicy’. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with degrees in psychology and communications, Helen leveraged her passion and understanding of human dynamics in a successful 27-year career as an HR executive in Financial Services. She built high-performing teams and coached senior executives, using her empathy and insight to help people realize their potential. However, despite her outward success, Helen felt a growing void and yearned for something more—a deeper connection to health, vitality, and authenticity. Helen’s healing journey began when she rediscovered her connection with nature, especially the healing properties of plants. Through medicinal aromatherapy and gemmotherapy, she found not only physical remedies but also ways to access mental and emotional healing. Each experience with gemmotherapy and essential oils brought her closer to her own spirit, revealing the innate wisdom she held within. Inspired, Helen committed to uncovering her soul’s gifts through various healing practices, including applied kinesiology, energy healing, reiki, Emotion Code, shamanic practices, medical intuition, and sound healing with bowls, tuning forks, and voice. With each modality, she peeled back layers of limiting beliefs and trapped emotions, allowing her authentic self to re-emerge. In 2022, Helen made a bold decision: she left her corporate career to join her dear friend, Jennifer Payeur, in building Divine Health Alliance—a healing clinic in Charlotte, NC offering both in person and remote services. As a healer, guide, intuitive, medium and teacher, Helen draws from her own profound journey of self-discovery to support others on their path to wellness and inner peace. Today, Helen is passionate about guiding clients in understanding the powerful impact past trauma and emotions have on our overall health. Her work is an invitation to embrace resilience, self-acceptance, and the expansive possibilities that come with true healing.
