In this episode, I sit down with human-connection expert and broadcaster Riaz Meghji, author of Every Conversation Counts: The 5 Habits of Human Connection That Build Extraordinary Relationships. It's a great book that I highly recommend. I have the audio and hardcopy versions.

We unpack why so many people feel "connected" online—but still lonely in real life. We discuss loneliness and isolation as a modern "social pandemic," and ways to build trust and deepen relationships through everyday conversations.

Conversations influence your nervous system and your immune system which influences how you heal. This is a missing piece in the world of health and healing. How we interact with others and the world via conversations changes physiology. You will learn a lot and enjoy this episode.

Get ready to change your story. Life changing podcast you are about to drop in on.

Mark England is the head coach and co-founder of Enlifted Coaching — a mindset and language-based coaching system built around the idea that "mindset is the story you tell yourself."

After a background in athletics and teaching, and personal experience with injury and transformation, Mark developed what he calls the "Enlifted Method," a practical, repeatable toolkit using language, breath, and narrative to help people overcome limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, and victim-mentality stories.

His work isn't just about "positive thinking" — it's about noticing how the words we say (both out loud and inside our heads), how we breathe, and how we frame experience shape our identity, drive decisions, and determine whether we stay stuck or move forward.

Some Highlights:

• Mindset = internal story. The story you tell yourself about yourself. Rewriting that story (through words + breath) you literally change your life trajectory.

• Language shapes reality. The method emphasizes that simple "word changes" — shifting from conflict language to empowered, clear language by dismantling limiting beliefs, reduce anxiety, and build confidence.

• Breath as an anchor & reset tool. Conscious breathing underlies the work: slowing speech, calming the nervous system, and using breath to shift emotions so you can think and act from clarity rather than panic or overwhelm.

ENLIFTED COACHING

In this mini podcast episode Dr. Perry talks about how facial massages calm the nervous system and help pain When you massage the face, you're not just working on skin — you're speaking directly to the trigeminal nerve, the largest sensory nerve in the entire head. Gentle pressure on the forehead, cheeks, and jaw sends calming signals into the brainstem, lowering threat, softening sympathetic overdrive, and creating a shift toward safety.

The trigeminal system is deeply wired into pain modulation and stress processing, so when you relax the face, you literally turn down the volume on the stress response. It's one of the fastest ways to reset the nervous system: change what the face feels, and you change what the brain perceives.

• Facial massage stimulates A-beta mechanoreceptors, which quiet pain signals.

• The trigeminal nerve feeds into autonomic centers calming the fight-or-flight loop.

• Releasing tension around the jaw and eyes decreases sympathetic load almost instantly.

• Touching the face shifts emotional tonethe. The limbic system responds to facial relaxation.

• Relax the face to down regulate inflammation.

In this episode Dr. Perry talks about the power of ear massages and how they calm the body.

One of the fastest ways to calm your body is through the ear. The ear is loaded with nerves that talk directly to your autonomic nervous system—especially the vagus nerve, the trigeminal nerve, and small branches of the facial nerve. When you gently massage or rub the ear, you're not just working skin...you're sending a powerful signal to the brain that says 'you're safe.'

This boosts parasympathetic tone, eases muscle tension, improves blood and lymph flow, and drops pain levels. It's a simple, accessible reset that helps shift you out of fight-or-flight and back into healing, recovery, and regeneration mode.

Do it daily for 30-days and feel the difference.

In this episode Dr. Perry has a chat with Chris DaPrato DPT, SCS, CSCS, PES, MFDc the lead instructor and innovator of Integrative Movement Health

We discuss the science and applications of cupping in helping pain. There are a lot of myths out there about cupping and Dr. DaPrato sets the record straight. If you have ever wondered if cupping is a theraputic option for you, this is the episode you do not want to miss.

Some of the highlights.

• Movement matters — it's not just passive suction
  Dr. DaPrato emphasises that MFD is distinct from traditional passive cupping because it combines negative-pressure suction with active movement or loading.

• Fascial shear, glide and viscoelasticity are key targets
  Chris explains improving the sliding/ gliding surfaces of fascia, increasing viscoelastic properties and thereby enhancing mobility and tissue responsiveness

• Cups can be used as neurosensory tools not just mechanical tools
  One of his points: the cups provide sensory input — mechanoreceptor stimulation, nervous system modulation, proprioceptive feedback — which can influence movement patterns and motor control.

Dr. DaPrato currently treats professional and NCAA athletes at UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley, while teaching in the Orthopedic Residency for their School of Medicine. He is a strong proponent and educator for manual therapy in sports and has presented evidence informed practices at conferences both nationally and internationally. After receiving his BS in Human Physiology, his Masters in Physical Therapy from Long Beach, and his Doctorate from Temple University, he went on to become Board Certified in Sports through the APTA.
