We often think our emotions, habits, and even health are just things that happen to us. But what if there was more we could do, practical, doable things, to feel better both physically and emotionally?

In this episode of The Hypnosis Show Podcast, I sat down with Rochelle Christiane, a holistic health coach and host of the Emotional Mastery Podcast. Rochelle shared her powerful personal journey from toxic relationships and burnout to reclaiming her health, energy, and emotional well-being through nutrition, movement, and deep self-awareness.

Here are some key insights from our conversation:

1. Physical Shifts Create Mental Clarity

Rochelle’s healing journey started not with a perfect plan, but with a single choice: joining a gym to escape a difficult home life. That one change helped lift the fog, giving her the clarity and courage to take bigger steps. Movement, she discovered, helped regulate her emotions, literally shifting her state of mind.

“Emotions are energy in motion. When we move our bodies, we start to clear that energy and make space for new thoughts and choices.”

2. Your Gut Is Talking—Are You Listening?

Most of us are so used to feeling “off”—bloating, brain fog, fatigue—that we think it’s normal. Rochelle reminds us that these are signals from our gut. And because our gut produces up to 90% of our serotonin, it plays a central role in emotional health.

Simple starting points:

Reduce processed sugar (it feeds the “bad” gut bacteria)
Eat whole, close-to-nature foods
Try probiotics with your doctor’s guidance

“If your gut is overwhelmed with bad bacteria, your serotonin levels are out of whack. And that affects everything—from mood to motivation.”

3. Mindful Eating Matters

It’s not just what you eat, but how you eat it. Stress shuts down digestion, which means even “healthy” food can’t nourish you properly if you’re eating on the go or in a rush.

“Our bodies can’t stress and digest at the same time.”

Try this: Before you eat, take a deep breath. Sit down. Savor. Dump the guilt and shame. If you're going to enjoy a treat, let it be joyful.

4. Small Shifts Can Have A Big Impact

Start with small shifts. Track how foods make you feel, both physically and emotionally. Rochelle recommends food journaling not as a rulebook, but as a self-trust tool. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about learning what actually works for your body.

5. The Power of Self-Kindness

This is about care for this amazing body you have. Whether you’re changing your relationship with food, movement, or alcohol, Rochelle emphasizes self-compassion and real-life strategies over willpower.

“If you know a situation is going to tempt you into choices you don’t feel good about, don’t judge yourself—just set yourself up for success.”

6. What You Can Do Today

Start moving in a way that feels good to you (walking, yoga, dancing—whatever you enjoy)
Eat more foods with ingredients you recognize
Pause before you eat. Ask, “How do I want to feel?”
Stay curious about what supports your body and mind
Use tools like hypnosis to shift old habits and emotional patterns at the subconscious level

If this resonates with you, consider exploring hypnosis as a way to support your mind-body wellness from the inside out.
