Whole Body Mental Health w/ Kimberley Wilson
In this episode I speak with Chartered Psychologist, nutrition expert, author and advocate for a Whole Body approach to Mental Health and Wellbeing, Kimberley Wilson.
Kimberley is a Psychologist with a master’s degree in nutrition and the author of How to Build a Healthy Brain published in 2020, and Unprocessed: How the Food We Eat is Fuelling our Mental Health Crisis (published in 2023).
She has a private practice in central London, has served in the British national health service as a governor of a Mental Health Trust. She also previously led the therapy service at Europe’s largest women’s prison.
In this episode Kimberley and I discuss why the way we think about mental health, as separate from physical health, is seriously flawed. We talk about the importance of whole body mental health, that factors in nutrition and lifestyle and how they impact the brain.
Kimberley's training, knowledge and experience in these areas is incredible, and her passion for whole body mental health is infectious.

    People don’t get sick from magical flying Boogey germs. They DEVELOP the “illness” following the resolution of the upsetting event that caused it. Just like they DEVELOP cancer. If you can’t “catch” cancer, you can’t “catch” anything else. The Germ Theory has been fraud for 110 years. Repeating it over and over does not make it true. German New Medicine explains all disease.

    I went from having a few of the worst pain days of my life to having something very tolerable just knowing I have hope. If people don't know.. his research is used in this app called "Lin" it's not just an average app that you pay for.. they give you a pain coach and however many times a Month that ur health insurance will pay for, you can see a pain coach. Mine is 3 half hour sessions per month. Anyway, I'm on the path. I still have very bad days but my good days are increasing.. just having hope and a physical therapist who is only 25 and super eager to learn.. so he's actively researching this along with graded mirror imaging which can be used for CRPS, which is what I have. It's called the " suicide disease " for a reason.. it's so unbearable, but the fact that it changes and moves, tells me it's at least more than halfway mind body

    It's a huge and important point that "The pain is real".. because with the current atmosphere of medication-averse young MDs, a patient gets hyper aware that their doctor thinks that they are "drug seeking" when they even MENTION that there could be an emotional aspect. You've GOT to start with "The pain is real".

Its comforting knowing that my brain isn't "creating the pain". On the other hand, it seems that it would be easier if my pain was "just" TMS. Even when i take the assessment, I don't score a "TMS score".

Shame on the Drs that do this and on me for trusting them ! Never again as I research everything now ,however it’s too late 😔 My pain leaves me unable to sit ,stand or lay down without excruciating pain! I’m trying this approach now as test after test comes back normal . I do have a neck injury and some low back issues but nothing that ever needed and surgery. This will be the miracle I’m looking for 🦋 The best to everyone and to the protracted damage to many people suffer at the hands of Drs . Thank goodness for Drs like Dr Schubiner 💜

    I have been struggling with back problems for over 4 years, someone suggested my pain maybe neuroplastic. I completely dismissed it and would not entertain it. Something changed about 3 weeks ago I started reading and watching videos about pyschosomatic pain. Knowing that there was nothing structurally wrong with me (had mri, X-ray) I decided to give the techniques a go and I’ve dramatically changed in my pain levels I actually can’t believe it. In the back of my mind I sometimes still go back to thinking there is something wrong and I still feel pain. But the pain intensity and my fear levels have changed so much.

    I find it a bit paradoxical how the sarno guys completely reject conventional treatments (which makes sense as they do not work) but rely religiously on conventional diagnostics. I believe if all tests are ok it doesnt mean youre physically fine, it just means we dont have good enough tests yet. Also, an old relative of mine with terminal cancer had a huge symptom relief on a vacation so thats not really a clue to psychosomatic pain. I think any chronic pain from any illness is dynamic and responds to mood and life events. Also, the main stressor in the patient's life is the pain/symptoms itself - in my own life its the only stressor. So again, a bit paradoxical. A chronic pain patient by definition can't not be in stress.

      Hi Angelica, I’d suggest looking into some evidence based 8 week mindfulness programmes like MBSR and MBCT. Can also look into the stress reaction cycle and it’s impacts. Beyond that, diet (particularly vitamin and mineral deficiency) and getting some regular mindful movement going may be helpful. The irony is that our cells produce more mitochondria when we move, and they are the fuel/energy for life. It’s counter intuitive but often the best thing to do when feeing fatigued is to do some light exercise, even if it’s anabolic (gentle movement only). I wish you well.
