Welcome to “Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine”
This is the podcast that explores how a person’s lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness.
The nervous system is the body’s command center. Originating from the brain, it controls movements, thoughts, and automatic responses to the world around us. It also controls other body systems and processes, such as digestion, breathing, sleep, healing, stress response, and aging.
Thousands of disorders and conditions can affect this complex system. An injured nerve has trouble sending a message. Sometimes it’s so damaged that it can’t send or receive a message. Nerve injury can cause numbness, inflammation, and pain. Then, if the nervous system is affected by a chronic illness, is it possible to reverse the degenerative process by resetting our nervous system?
In today’s episode, Dr. Amy Novotny, a breathwork specialist, explains how rewiring the nervous system with position, posture, and breathing techniques to get people out of pain, eliminate stress, anxiety, and sleep issues, avoid surgery, and get off medications. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in various settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 12 years. Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain, and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop the PABR method, which stands for pain, awareness, breathing, and relief. This is a holistic approach to restoring the body to its full potential using the body’s nervous system. It is a step-by-step process to change how the body feels and moves.
Join us to learn how breathwork can take your nervous system from fight and flight to relaxation mode.

"Oh My Gosh- I am ALREADY feeling relief after a few days! I used to wake up 2-3 times a night with shooting pain that anti inflammatories couldn't touch. Now I have been waking up just because I want to notice what it feels like to lay in bed pain free- THANK YOU!."
"When I first started with your program I was experience a lot of pain. Walking was difficult. I had to stop and catch my breath every few minutes and lean against a wall for support. Now when I walk with my husband we go for over an hour. I never had to sit down and stop...and, hardly any pain!!! 😊😊 I can’t thank you enough."
