    Mouth to Anus: GI in Crisis! MA Dombrowski, APRN-CFNP, DNP
    Jun 22 2026
    Your Gastro-Intestinal System Needs Your Attention!
    In this episode, Mary Alice Dombrowski, APRN-CFNP, DNP certified nurse practitioner of over 25 years with 10 years in Pediatric Primary Care and over 15 years in the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Rainbow Babies and Children's hospital in Cleveland explains the physiology, function and disorders of our Gastrointestinal (GI) system in general but also identifies unique concerns for those struggling with an eating disorder or food volatility.
    I work with Mary Alice often and find having a GI specialist on the multi-disciplinary team is essential in providing informed care and recognition & treatment of often overwhelming pain and distress symptoms that can impeded the recovery path.

  • Fear of Flying Self Hypnosis

    Fear of Flying Self Hypnosis
    Jun 11 2026
    Afraid of Flying? Sweaty hands, increased heart rate, tight muscles? Intrusive crash thoughts? Reduced travel pleasure?
    This self-hypnosis-style brain training activity can help you regulate your nervous system when preparing for a flight and while in the air.
    It's not hocus pocus! We can train our brain to associate regulation states with otherwise distressing settings. It's also a great practice before, during and after travel to reduce cortisol build up from travel anxiety.
    I strongly suggest combining this meditation with a written cognitive challenging activity where you record and practice saying out loud (preferably with bilateral stimulation tools - see my other podcast!) logical challenges to your fear.
    I.E. There is some risk in living a life worth living. If it was logically that unsafe, people wouldn't do it. We can't control our safety just make informed decisions - this is a smart choice.

    Additional supports under professional care can include Hypno-therapy, CBT, Exposure Response therapy, Virtual Reality therapy and EMDR.
