Fear can feel like “the facts,” when it’s really your nervous system trying to keep you safe. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, Cindy Costley shares how survival patterns can quietly shape symptoms, choices, and self-trust.
This episode is for anyone stuck between science, spirituality, and “what actually works.” You’ll hear a layered approach to healing—where biology, energy practices, faith, and inner re-patterning meet—so you can move from protection to possibility, gently and safely.
About the Guest:
Cindy Costley is the creator of the Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Technique (EBDT) and the voice behind a four-pillars healing approach bridging Western science, Eastern practices, spirituality, and Scripture. She shares her lived experience of decades of chronic illness and how safety-based healing changed her relationship with her body.
Episode Chapters:
-
Mic trouble & restart for clarity (00:03:30)
-
Choosing the topic: fear + four pillars (00:08:01)
-
“My body wasn’t failing me”—it was communicating (00:13:22)
-
Trauma as biological first, not just psychological (00:14:49)
-
Four pillars explained: science, energy, spirituality, Scripture (00:17:44)
-
Fear stored as “allergy”: the dairy story (00:26:05)
-
Healing in layers + retraining safety over time (00:31:56)
Key Takeaways:
-
Notice where fear “decides” your life—then name it as protection, not identity.
-
Track symptoms as signals: “What might my body be trying to keep me safe from?”
-
Heal in layers: address the root trigger before challenging the pattern.
-
When you feel an instant “no,” get curious: belief, or old protection?
-
Practice safety-talk: calm reassurance after regulation (not during survival mode).

What does “strength” look like when it’s not domination… and not self-erasure either? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore the quieter, steadier kind of masculinity that holds power and compassion in the same hands.
This conversation is for men who want to feel grounded instead of reactive—and for anyone navigating relationships where trust, safety, and respect matter. Michael Jaquith breaks down why control shows up when inner foundation is missing, and what it means to return to values without shame when you mess up.
About the Guest:
Michael Jaquith is a former corporate executive turned entrepreneur and life coach who works with men. He also hosts a podcast and has written a Catholic faith-based book focused on masculinity.
Episode Chapters:
-
00:04:56 – Setting the tone: why this topic matters now
-
00:08:15 – “Healthy masculinity” as a rock: stable, dependable strength
-
00:09:26 – The biggest misconception: fear and society’s mixed messages
-
00:11:17 – Where distortions start: wounding, roles, and imbalance
-
00:13:41 – Control vs foundation: how insecurity leaks into relationships
-
00:17:18 – The validation trap: “If you’re not enough without it…”
-
00:22:21 – Recalibrating without shame: identity vs actions, self-forgiveness
Key Takeaways:
-
Build an internal foundation (values, purpose, “something bigger than you”) before trying to lead.
-
Watch for control as a warning sign: it often shows up when self-control feels shaky.
-
Separate who you are from what you did—accountability without self-hate is maturity.
-
Practice “enduring the storm”: stay steady even when emotions rise around you.
-
If you’re chasing validation, pause and ask: “What am I trying to prove—and to whom?”

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sana (filling in for Avik Chakraborty), we unpack why “feeling fine” isn’t the same as being strong—especially as the body quietly changes with age.
This episode is for anyone feeling slower, more tired, or unsure what to track. Mike McGlothlin connects the dots between muscle loss (sarcopenia), VO2 max, and cellular health (phase angle)—and how testing, small training shifts, and consistent recovery can protect your energy, mobility, and long-term independence.
About the Guest:
Mike McGlothlin, CPT has lived with diabetes for 25+ years and shifted his focus from managing it to working toward reversal. He’s the founder of Ageless Fitness (Florida) and shares a “test, don’t guess” approach to strength, cardio-respiratory fitness, and recovery.
Episode Chapters:
-
00:05:25 — Why health shows up in stairs, recovery, and “everyday strength”
-
00:08:11 — Sarcopenia: the muscle-loss problem people miss
-
00:10:55 — The real risks: falls, frailty, and functional decline
-
00:14:23 — “Responsible” strength building without heavy lifting
-
00:18:27 — VO2 max: a wellness metric, not just fitness
-
00:21:33 — Chasing numbers vs building outcomes you care about
-
00:24:03 — Phase angle + cellular health: the “battery” analogy that lands
Key Takeaways:
-
Track skeletal muscle mass, not just weight—muscle impacts glucose use.
-
Use testing (body scans, VO2) to guide training instead of guessing.
-
Build strength with targeted, joint-friendly resistance and consistency.
-
Treat VO2 max as a future-independence metric tied to daily function.
-
Prioritize recovery practices that help you train again—better.
