What if the pain, injury or illness you've been carrying isn't just physical… but emotional, energetic, and deeply connected to unprocessed experiences your body is trying to help you move through?
Today I'm sitting down with Taylor Cecil, a highly acclaimed holistic movement and peak performance coach. He is a former professional triathlete who has trained extensively at the CHEK Academy and Prague Rehabilitation School, and worked with world champions like Mick Fanning alongside everyday people who just want to feel at home in their bodies again.
After personally experiencing chronic back pain for 18 months that sat at an 8 out of 10 daily, I tried everything: physio, chiro, every stretch and strengthening exercise you can imagine. Nothing stuck. Then I met Taylor. In one session, he connected what was happening in my back and pelvis to deeper emotional and energetic imprints … within two weeks of working together, my back pain was completely gone.
This conversation isn't your typical wellness episode. This is about understanding that your body is speaking a language, and it's time we learned how to listen.
In this episode, we dive into:
→ The real connection between emotional wounds and physical pain
→ Why your pain, inflammation, or disease might be your nervous system holding on to unprocessed emotions
→ How stress, beliefs, and trauma show up as physical symptoms in the body
→ The patterns that world champion athletes and everyday people share when it comes to healing
→ How to map your nervous system and understand what state you're in at different times
→ The three branches of your nervous system: sympathetic, ventral vagus, and dorsal vagus… and what each one means
→ Why breath is the key carrier of information in the body
→ Practical daily habits that create true mind-body harmony
→ How childhood conditioning impacts our ability to feel safe, express needs, and develop self-esteem
→ Taylor's personal rituals, including his 100-day Tai Chi practice and the "Four Doctors" philosophy
