In this episode, guest Christine Cardoza shares a deeply personal adaptation story: growing up in a high-conflict family system (anger, yelling, walking on eggshells), experiencing a chronic nest worry/argument conflict and how that resulted in her experience in ongoing breast growth (even after a breast reduction). We also unpack the cerebellum constellation (and why it can look like emotional numbness, coldness, or “I just don’t care anymore”), and why understanding the biological purpose can create a massive reframe: less shame, more clarity. This conversation also dives in to family dynamics, grief after losing a parent, internet triggers, identity traps, and what it actually looks like to “downgrade” your conflicts in a way that preserves your energy and your joy.

This is a continuation of our conversation with Dr. Chris Cole. Please click here to listen to the Part 1 episode before starting this episode.  In Part 2, we dive into biological integrity, resilience, and how living in alignment with nature can impact conflict intensity and shift perception through the GNM lens. We discuss nuance, neutrality, and why “healing” paths and conflict expressions look different for every individual. Chris explains the intersection of hands-on work and coaching, the role of intuitive inclination when choosing modalities, and the importance of avoiding rigid protocols or promised outcomes. We also explore belief systems, placebo dynamics, and how conviction can influence biological processes - even when the method itself isn’t inherently causal. Chris shares some personal GNM symptom stories, including throat, bronchial, and nasal programs,  as well as client cases involving back pain, childhood skin symptoms, and headaches. The episode closes with a discussion on constellations, understanding “bio-individuality,” and exploring how our conflicts subtly shape behavior, interests, and personality patterns.

In Part 1 of this conversation, our special guest, Dr. Chris Cole, shares how his vitalistic chiropractic background naturally aligned with the German New Medicine framework and how GNM gave him the language for what he was already witnessing in practice. We explore how his perspective shifted from “fixing” physical problems to understanding the psyche-brain-organ connection, how GNM clarified and expanded his understanding of the nervous system, and why he encourages practitioners to personally experience the five biological laws before bringing them into their work. This episode also covers how Chris introduces clients to GNM, why his practice now attracts people ready to take personal responsibility, and how he uses hands-on care as “attention work” rather than symptom treatment.

Freya shares her honest journey of pregnancy and early motherhood through the lens of German New Medicine (GNM). From nausea and restless leg symptom stories to food worries, Wi-Fi anxiety, and the pull of perfectionism, she reveals how GNM helped her see symptoms as natural adaptations rather than failures. We explore parenting with trust in the body’s capacity, letting go of fear, and building community in a modern world - all while embracing curiosity and compassion.

Why Mia no longer sees her health through the “Lyme” label - and how shifting focus to symptom-by-symptom resolution changed everything. In this part two of our conversation with Mia, we unpack her experience with a “Lyme disease” diagnosis through the lens of GNM - and her resolution of the symptoms once linked to that label. Alongside resolving multiple anaphylactic allergies (see episode 38), Mia untangled the conflicts behind her Lyme symptoms, stepped out of the illness identity, and was able to get her life back. We explore how broad, catch-all diagnoses can obscure the real biological programs at play, why in GNM we look at symptoms individually rather than through diagnosis labels, and how labels can become woven into our self-identity. Mia also shares how GNM has transformed her parenting, her child’s health, and offers advice for integrating this paradigm into family life.

Mia went from living in fear of food with multiple anaphylactic allergies to eating freely by uncovering the real psychobiological roots of her symptoms. This is part one of our conversation with Mia, who once lived in constant fear of food and was allergic to nearly everything - including multiple severe anaphylactic allergies. After discovering GNM, she traced her symptoms back to their psychobiological roots and downgraded or resolved nearly all of them. Mia shares the conflicts behind her symptoms, the tools and modalities that supported her, and how she moved from restriction and fear to true food freedom. This is a profound, dramatic resolution story that clearly illustrates the 5 Biological Laws and serves as a powerful reminder that we truly cannot put limits on what the body is capable of.  Find us on Instagram: Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@alchemywithashlee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Abigail -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@abigailpuccioni ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our personal websites: Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠alchemywithashlee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Abigail - abigailpuccioni.com Where to find Mia Instagram - ⁠@mialeeslo

In this raw and revealing episode, our guest Roselle Pastetes shares how unresolved conflicts around territory, trust, and womanhood showed up in her body - through UTIs, painful cycles, and vaginal discharge - and how her eventual divorce brought resolution in more ways than one. We explore the nuances of GNM's bladder mucosa and uterine programs, the limits of perceptual resolution, and how sometimes the body asks us to make real-life changes we’d rather avoid. This is a conversation about honoring your inner knowing, releasing self-blame, and learning when it’s time to let go - not just of symptoms, but of identities, relationships, and old stories.

What if your movement routine, wellness goals, and even your favorite smoothie had nothing to do with being “healthy” - and everything to do with perception? In this episode, we talk with Abigail Chambley about how the fitness and wellness world looks radically different when viewed through the GNM lens. We explore the trap of chasing results, the subtle fear baked into the idea of “prevention,” and how even good habits can reinforce chronic conflicts if the underlying beliefs aren’t addressed. We also dive into the messy, layered reality of food freedom, acne resolution, and learning to trust your body - without turning wellness into a performance. This one’s a permission slip to slow down, loosen your grip, and remember that it’s not the thing itself… it’s your relationship to it (even the GNM framework).

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Eli Abela to explore how the German New Medicine framework transforms the way we understand and support children with special needs. Eli shares three inspiring case studies of children that she has worked with - autism (with motor and vocal tics), Down Syndrome, and ADHD - and walks us through how utilizing GNM principles (to understand the root cause) alongside biohacking tools has provided clarity, empowerment, and new possibilities for families navigating complex diagnoses. This conversation offers a refreshing, hope-filled perspective on what’s possible when we honor the body's biological intelligence.

In this two-part series, we sit down with the insightful and deeply compassionate Courtney Homer - a mother, wife, and truth-seeker dedicated to fostering freedom and attunement in her family and community. In PART 1 (click here to listen if you have not yet already!), Courtney shares her powerful personal journey of resolving epilepsy and KCT, exploring the balance between practical steps and perceptual shifts. We dive into the empowering realization that while we can’t always control external circumstances, we can shift our perception - and that’s where real freedom lies. In PART 2, we explore Courtney’s experiences navigating her son’s health from a GNM perspective. From resolution stories of food allergies, eczema, ringworm, and an aggressive constellation, Courtney shares how her understanding of GNM has shaped her parenting - especially through the complexities of raising teenagers. We also discuss the art of teaching GNM principles to kids in a way that feels natural and empowering. Both episodes offer a refreshing perspective on embracing life’s inevitable challenges - including those we may never fully “resolve.” Courtney’s insights remind us that conflict shocks aren’t something to fear but an opportunity for growth, expansion, and self-trust. Whether you’re a parent, a GNM enthusiast, or someone seeking deeper peace with your own health journey, these episodes are packed with wisdom, warmth, and practical takeaways.

We’re thrilled to sit down with our special guest, Marcy Bowman, as she shares her incredible journey of resolving a glandular breast adaptation through the lens of German New Medicine. Marcy takes us through how she uncovered the underlying conflict behind her breast tumor and the powerful practical action steps to facilitate a perceptual shift that supported her body’s natural healing process.  Together, we explore the biological purpose of glandular breast tissue, why these adaptations occur, and how GNM offers a completely different way to understand and approach symptoms. Marcy’s story is an inspiring example of what’s possible when we move from fear to understanding (and taking action!), and we can’t wait for you to hear it!

In this episode, we dive deep into separation conflicts - specifically, separation conflicts that affect the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis are some of the common diagnosis labels associated with this type of conflict! We share some resolution stories and explore the common “push-pull” nature of these conflicts, where the psyche perceives wanting to either draw someone close or push them away. You'll learn how this biological response plays out in symptoms like peeling, cracking, itchy, red, and/or painful skin. We also tackle a hot topic: topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) - why some people experience worsening symptoms after stopping steroids and how this relates to the underlying separation conflicts. Plus, we discuss the general use of extraneous agents such as creams, supplements, and treatments - do they help or hinder the healing process? If you’ve ever struggled with chronic skin issues (NOT acne - there’s a whole separate episode for that! See episode 16) and felt trapped in the cycle of treating symptoms without lasting resolution, this episode is for you.  Find us on Instagram: Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@alchemywithashlee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Abigail -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@abigailpuccioni Our personal websites: Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠alchemywithashlee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Abigail -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠abigailpuccioni.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sophie Fletcher, a practitioner whose work blends Germanic New Medicine (GNM), somatic psychology, and nervous system healing to reveal the profound wisdom of the body. We discuss how symptoms can be understood as meaningful responses to life’s events, the connection between GNM and nervous system resiliency, and why your body is never wrong or broken. We also unpack the complex topic of resiliency, and how to understand nervous system “regulation” and “dysregulation” within the GNM framework. Sophie’s compassionate approach is a breath of fresh air and offers a transformative perspective on health, healing, and self-awareness.

In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into Ozempic and other external substances through the lens of German New Medicine. We’ll explore how Ozempic “works,” why it might seem effective for some people but not others, and the potential risks and dangers of relying on it (but also potential perceptual benefits).  We also discuss the broader topic of medications, plant medicine, and other extraneous agents from a GNM perspective - helping you understand their role. By the end, you’ll have a clearer framework for making informed decisions about external substances and their impact on your body and psyche.
