Always consult your healthcare practitioner before making any health-related decisions.In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi shares the powerful and deeply personal healing journey of Jane, whose life story is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the possibility of rebuilding after unimaginable pain.Jane opens up about beginning to drink at just 11 years old as a way to cope with bullying, family dysfunction, trauma, and the deep belief that something was wrong with her. What began as an attempt to numb emotional pain developed into years of addiction, repeated rehabilitation stays, shame, trauma, and a struggle to find her own worth.Through decades of challenges—including substance abuse, emotional suffering, physical health struggles, strokes, and moments when she felt beyond saving—Jane discovered that healing required more than changing behaviors. It required transforming the beliefs she held about herself. Through recovery work, affirmations, spirituality, and a deeper understanding of consciousness, she began shifting from a place of shame and self-destruction into self-love, empowerment, and purpose.Together, Simone and Jane explore the connection between trauma, addiction, shame, the nervous system, and the power of changing the stories we tell ourselves. This inspiring conversation reminds listeners that healing is possible, no matter how far someone feels they have fallen.KEY TAKEAWAYSAddiction is often connected to unresolved emotional pain, trauma, and the desire to escape suffering—not simply a lack of willpower.Changing an addiction without addressing the deeper wound can leave the same patterns showing up in different ways.Shame can become a powerful cycle that fuels relapse, self-destruction, and feelings of hopelessness.Our thoughts, beliefs, and inner dialogue can play an important role in how we experience ourselves and our lives.No one is beyond healing or transformation. Even after years of struggle, it is possible to reclaim your power, rebuild your life, and reconnect with your worth.BEST MOMENTS“It’s weird that you shared that—that’s my life… that’s me, and I survived, and then I thrived.”“Alcohol hijacks your brain so fast.”“I started telling myself new truths… I am powerful, I am loved, and I am capable of healing.”“You are not broken. You are deeply loved, and you have more power to change than you realize.”“Through compassion and self-love, we can begin to transform the parts of ourselves we once thought were impossible to heal.”GUEST INFORMATIONJane is a survivor, spiritual teacher, and advocate for personal transformation whose journey reflects the power of healing after trauma, addiction, and profound life challenges. After years of struggling with addiction, shame, and physical limitations, Jane discovered a new relationship with herself through recovery, spiritual growth, and conscious transformation. Today, she shares her story to inspire others to recognize their own worth, reconnect with their inner strength, and believe that change is always possible.Reach out to Jane Dawson: janemdawson@gmail.comHOST BIOSimone Gisondi is a seasoned coach, published author, and host of Health Confidential.

  • The Cholesterol Myth: What This Doctor Learned After His Heart Attack | Dr. Stephen Hussey

    The Cholesterol Myth: What This Doctor Learned After His Heart Attack | Dr. Stephen Hussey
    Jun 22 2026

    One of the most downloaded episodes in Health Confidential history is back.


    For decades, we’ve been told that cholesterol is one of the primary causes of heart disease and that lowering it is the key to protecting our hearts.


    But what if the story isn’t that simple?


    In this episode of Health Confidential, I sit down with Dr. Stephen Hussey—chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, author, and heart attack survivor—to explore the assumptions many of us have accepted about cholesterol, heart disease, inflammation, and cardiovascular health.


    After experiencing a heart attack himself, Dr. Hussey began questioning many of the ideas he had been taught about the heart and what truly drives cardiovascular disease. What followed was a journey that challenged conventional thinking and led him to a very different understanding of heart health.



    In this conversation, we discuss:

    • The cholesterol myth and why it remains so controversial

    • Why healthy people can still suffer heart attacks

    • The role of inflammation and metabolism in cardiovascular disease

    • What Dr. Hussey learned after his own heart attack

    • Why questioning assumptions in medicine matters

    • A different perspective on how the heart functions



    Whether you’re concerned about your cholesterol, have been prescribed a statin, or simply want to understand heart health from a different perspective, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

  • Breath as Medicine - Unlocking Inner Healing through Breathwork with MJ Renshaw

    Breath as Medicine - Unlocking Inner Healing through Breathwork with MJ Renshaw
    Jun 16 2026
    ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT HEALTH OR MEDICAL ADVICE. The views and experiences shared in this episode are for educational and informational purposes only. Always consult your healthcare practitioner before making any health-related decisions. In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi sits down with MJ Renshaw, founder of The Being Method, somatic breathwork educator, bestselling author, and mentor, to explore how breath can become one of the most powerful tools for healing, transformation, and self-discovery.Drawing from her background in philosophy, osteopathy, and breathwork, MJ shares her deeply personal journey through loss, trauma, emotional suppression, and chronic stress, and how discovering breathwork transformed her relationship with her body, mind, and spirit. Together, Simone and MJ discuss the profound connection between breathing patterns, nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, and overall health.The conversation explores how common habits such as mouth breathing and chronic hyperventilation may contribute to stress, anxiety, and illness, while also examining emerging research on breath, mitochondrial health, trauma, and longevity. Blending science with spirituality, MJ explains how conscious breathing can help release stored emotional pain, reconnect individuals with their intuition, and support deep personal healing. This inspiring discussion offers a fresh perspective on how something as simple and accessible as the breath can become a gateway to lasting transformation.KEY TAKEAWAYSMost people breathe inefficiently, often through chronic hyperventilation or mouth breathing, which may contribute to ongoing stress and nervous system dysregulation.Breathing patterns and VO₂ max are among the strongest indicators of long-term health and longevity, yet are often overlooked in conventional healthcare.Trauma may be carried not only emotionally but also within the body, and breathwork can support the release of stored stress and unresolved emotional experiences.Breathwork serves as a bridge between science and spirituality, offering practical tools for both physiological regulation and personal growth.Healing often involves emotional release, and conscious breathing can help people reconnect with themselves, access deeper awareness, and create meaningful change in their lives.BEST MOMENTS"I just became really interested in making my pain my mission.""It’s not just you thinking about someone bullying you one time… at the cellular level, we can hold trauma.""There isn’t a person out there who cannot be helped with breathwork.""You can read about it all you want, but you’re not going to get good at it until you actually do it.""This is not just going to change your physiology and change your lineage, but it’s also going to change your personality."GUEST INFORMATIONMJ Renshaw is the founder of The Being Method, a somatic breathwork educator, bestselling author, and mentor whose work bridges science and spirituality. Drawing from her backgrounds in philosophy, osteopathy, and breathwork, she helps people regulate their nervous systems, release emotional patterns, and reconnect with themselves through embodied healing. Inspired by her own journey through trauma and chronic stress, MJ has supported thousands of people worldwide through her certifications, mentorship programs, and breathwork teachings.Website: https://www.beingmethod.ca/Instagram: @beingmethodbreathworkHOST BIOSimone Gisondi is a seasoned coach, published author, and host of Health Confidential.
