In Episode 2 of the Healing Forward Wellness Spotlight Series, Barbara La Pointe and Kevin J. David discuss one of the biggest frustrations in wellness: why many supplements fail to deliver the results people expect. Just because you take a supplement doesn't mean your body is actually using it. In this episode, we explore absorption, bioavailability, and why delivery systems play a critical role in helping the body utilize nutrients effectively. Learn why so many people invest in wellness products without seeing results, and why understanding how nutrients are delivered may be just as important as the ingredients themselves. In this episode, we discuss: • What bioavailability means • Why absorption matters • Common challenges with traditional supplements • The difference between taking a supplement and utilizing it • Why delivery systems are becoming a major focus in wellness • How smarter wellness starts with understanding absorption If you've ever spent money on supplements and wondered whether they were actually working, this episode is for you.

David and I have been exploring the importance of cellular wellness, glutathione, and innovative delivery technologies designed to help support the body's natural processes.

Many women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond find themselves asking the same painful question....“How did I end up here again?” In this episode of Healing Forward with Barbara La Pointe, I sit down with psychotherapist, soul-healer, and life-guidance coach Nathalie Volan to explore how unhealed childhood wounds—especially mother wounds—can quietly shape our adult relationships. We discuss how unresolved emotional trauma can create patterns that leave women vulnerable to narcissistic, emotionally abusive, manipulative, or toxic romantic and business relationships. If you've ever struggled with: ✨ People pleasing ✨ Repeating painful relationship patterns ✨ Narcissistic abuse recovery ✨ Difficulty setting boundaries ✨ Emotional exhaustion ✨ Toxic friendships or business partnerships ✨ Feeling unseen, unheard, or never “enough” Healing doesn’t begin with blaming ourselves. It begins with understanding the root. About Nathalie Volan Natalia Volanberg, PhD, is a psychotherapist and Clarity Breathwork practitioner who helps women—especially in midlife—heal from narcissistic and abusive relationships. With a global background spanning Russia, Canada, Asia, Europe, and now Mexico, she specializes in helping women retrain their nervous systems to break free from repeating harmful patterns in love and business.  Nathalies Education: • Masters in Counselling (Monash University, Australia) • Psyche Embodied residential workshops with Marion Woodman, Jungian analyst, teacher, lecturer, and author (New College, University of Toronto) 2004–2005 • Sexuality Studies / History (HonsBA, University of Toronto, Canada) 2000–2005 • Jungian Studies courses with Ann Yeoman, Jungian Analyst and author (New College, University of Toronto) 2003–2005 • History of Psychiatry / Psychiatric Illness courses with Edward Shorter • Pre-medical studies in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics (Seneca College, Toronto, Canada) 1998–1999 Connect with Barbara La Pointe | Healing Forward 🎙 Healing Forward Podcast 📩 [email protected] 📱 WhatsApp: +52 322 101 8268 📺 Subscribe: @HealingForwardPodcast #MotherWound #NarcissisticAbuse #HealingForward #EmotionalHealing #CodependencyRecovery #TraumaHealing #WomenOver50 #ToxicRelationships #SelfWorth #InnerChildHealing #BarbaraLaPointe #inheritedfamilytrauma #motherwound #patterns #women Ask Support the show
