EP 097: Mitochondria, Attachment, Consciousness: It’s All Connected

“It’s really important to think about the small choices that one is making every day from the mind and heart space and realize how much our thoughts are affecting our biology,” says today’s guest Heather Crimson, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss the largely overlooked connection between mental health and mitochondrial health. In her 20-year practice as a therapist and through her own journey of healing from early childhood trauma, Heather has come to realize the damage that trauma inflicts upon our cells, causing inflammation and a resulting cast of physical issues, which, in turn, fuel our negative thoughts and emotions. On today’s episode, she talks about reaching outside of contemporary psychology’s biochemical model to address clients’ issues at the cellular level and, ultimately, make therapy more effective.

Addressing mitochondrial damage not only enhances traditional therapy practices, but reaches past the limits of merely talking out the problem. When we listen to our body’s needs—the basis of which is aligning with circadian light—we align with our truest selves. Heather discusses the practice of myofascial release, which not only clears out old trauma but allows space for new, healthier connections going forward.

Contrary to popular belief, healing can be quick, easy, and even fun. Join today’s discussion with Heather and host Meredith Oke to learn more.

Quotes:

“When I started improving my circadian rhythm and I started to feel stronger, then my emotions would turn around. It’s like my emotions tend toward the more neutral and positive, whereas when your body feels bad, you don’t have energy. The voltage is so low, no wonder your emotions and your thoughts—they’re awful!” (12:53 | Heather Crimson)
“I think the main paradigm shift needs to be a few things: trusting our bodies and how resilient they are, that our bodies don’t make mistakes, they’re designed to heal. Understanding our bio-electric nature, we are intimately tied to the natural environment and we are a part of that ecosystem…it all ties together” (25:18 | Heather Crimson)
“It’s really important to think about all the small choices that one is making every day, especially from the mind and heart space. I think we can obsess about the physiological and not realize how much our thoughts, the nature of our thoughts and the emotional home that we live in is affecting our biology.” (26:07 | Heather Crimson)
“Psychology Today have been talking about mitochondria being a key factor in mental health since 2017, but they’re still in the biochemical model and, ‘Oh, what drugs can we make to help our mitochondria,’ and you see that a lot when you start to do the research.” (31:03 | Heather Crimson)
“Fascia, as we know, is key insofar as our bodies’ holding energetic imprints and also how it’s affecting our body’s ability to do quantum communication.” (47:25 | Heather Crimson)
