    To watch the video of this episode, please go to: https://youtu.be/mlQkLjre8SM What if your brain fog, low energy, and mood swings weren’t just “in your head?” What if your mental health and the food you eat are more connected than you think? What role does your metabolism play in shaping both your mind and your body? In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu sits down with Michelle Pitot, a licensed clinical social worker, certified professional coach, and expert in the intersection of metabolic health and mental wellness. Drawing from over 35 years of experience, Michelle shares how imbalances in metabolic health can create a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, mood disturbances, and other symptoms that affect daily life. Together, they explore how looking at the food you eat can help you heal your body and mind, all through science-based strategies and compassionate self-awareness – restoring clarity, resilience, and joy. In this episode: • How trauma impacts both mental and metabolic health • The role of metabolic health in supporting mental wellness • Common ways nutrition and physiology can impact mood, focus, and resilience • Why looking at what you eat is essential for mental and emotional well-being • Practical tools to begin improving metabolic and mental health • How an integrative perspective can enhance recovery outcomes Resources mentioned in this episode: • Michelle’s website: https://www.michellepitot.com/ • HeartMath Institute: https://www.heartmath.org/ About Michelle: Michelle Pitot is a licensed clinical social worker and certified professional coach, with a doctorate in Multicultural Education from the University of San Francisco.

Her work connects the dots between metabolic health and mental wellness, helping people reclaim clarity, resilience, and energy by addressing the deep interplay between the body, brain, and emotional experience. Integrating biology, emotional insight, and mind-body practices, she offers a pathway to healing that is both grounded in science and attuned to each person’s inner wisdom. She is a therapist, teacher, author, and coach—and above all, Michelle is most fulfilled by her roles as a mother, sister, friend, and devoted dog-mom. These relationships ground her in the real meaning of healing: connection, compassion, and the courage to grow. “Metabolic health is really about how your body creates and uses energy, and when that’s disrupted, it shows up in the brain as mood, focus, and memory issues.” – Michelle Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

    EP 111 – A Journey Beyond the Veil with Michael McAdams
    2025/05/06
    To watch the video of this podcast, please go to: https://youtu.be/DWFB7aM-GBo Have you ever received a message that felt like it came from beyond — something too clear, too wise to be just coincidence? What if the voices we silence or label as imagination are actually spirit teachers trying to guide us? Can a message from spirit truly transform your life and mental well-being? In this heartfelt and expansive episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Michael McAdams, a lifelong seeker of truth and the author of An Angel Told Me So. Together, they explore the often-misunderstood realm of spirit communication and how it intersects with personal healing, mental health, and spiritual development. Michael shares his personal story growing up in a religious family, his early mystical experiences, and the extraordinary collaboration he had with his mother, who received profound written messages from spirit teachers over the course of 22 years. Dr. Adriana and Michael challenge common mental health paradigms by inviting a deeper inquiry into what is often dismissed as psychosis or delusion — and instead honoring the possibility that spiritual communication is a natural and healing part of our human experience. In this episode: • The difference between spirit guides, angels, and disembodied beings • How to discern between imagination and divine messages • Why affirmations and intention are key to spiritual protection • What is the difference between spiritual experiences and psychosis • The importance of belief systems and free will in shaping our spiritual reality • Practical tools to begin or strengthen your connection to spiritual guidance Resources mentioned in this episode: Michael’s website: https://www.spiritspeaks.com Michael’s book An Angel Told Me So: https://a.co/d/f4P58p7 The Urantia Book: https://a.co/d/4KRv3sP Message from Spirit Teachers: Spiritual Parchment Prints on SpiritSpeaks.com About Michael: Michael McAdams is a lifelong spiritual seeker and the author of An Angel Told Me So, a collection of profound spiritual messages received by his mother, Wilma Jean Jones, over the span of two decades. With a background in traditional Christianity and a deep passion for metaphysics, Michael bridges faith and spirit communication through his work. He shares a personal journey of awakening, divine communication, and the sacred role of spirit teachers in guiding us through life’s challenges. “We are not alone. We are constantly being guided, helped, and supported — but we have to ask, and we have to be willing to listen.” – Michael Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

    EP 110 – Releasing Trauma from the Body with Veronica Merchak
    2025/04/23
    To watch the video of this episode, please go to: https://youtu.be/YdEz8etKYO0 How does trauma live in the body and influence our long-term health? Can suppressed emotions contribute to chronic inflammation and illness? What’s possible when we work with the body’s natural intelligence to heal? In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by holistic trauma specialist Veronica Merchak to explore the connection between trauma, inflammation, and healing. Veronica shares her unique approach to helping clients process trauma, combining modalities like BodyTalk, Trauma/Tension Release Exercises (TRE), and her own method called Quantum Field Talk Therapy. Veronica brings personal experience and professional insight into how the body stores trauma and suppressed emotions—often beneath our awareness—and how those energetic imprints can manifest in physical dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and illness. She offers hope, perspective, and practical tools to support healing and transformation at all levels, empowering us to look at what’s possible when we reconnect with the body’s natural wisdom. In this episode: • How unresolved trauma gets stored in the body and contributes to chronic inflammation • The role of the nervous system and cellular memory in trauma • An introduction to BodyTalk and how it helps the body communicate and heal • The power of TRE and the body’s natural shaking mechanism for trauma release • Quantum Field Talk Therapy • The importance of healing collective and intergenerational trauma Resources mentioned in this episode: Connect with Veronica on Instagram: @veronica_lets_talk Email: veronica.letstalk@gmail.com Learn more about BodyTalk: https://www.bodytalksystem.com/ TRE Information: https://traumaprevention.com/ About Veronica: Veronica Merchak is a holistic trauma specialist, presently based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her primary focus is how trauma, suppressed emotions, and the situations relating to these emotions, are kept and held in the body. She assists clients in understanding how this can result in certain physical manifestations. She is a Body Talk Practitioner and Trauma/Tension Release Provider. She also uses a talk therapy, Quantum Field Talk Therapy and as a result, she has an innovative approach as she combines these modalities and tailors them according to the client's individual needs. With the objective being to assist clients in releasing the emotional charge of trauma, as well as allowing a safe space for clients to be vulnerable and receptive as they shift their perceptions of trauma and gain a deeper understanding that their bodies are always working for them to protect them, rather than against them. “Your body is not working against you, it’s working for you.” – Veronica Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?
