What happens when food—something meant to nourish and comfort—starts to feel like a threat? In this episode, we speak with a seasoned registered dietitian who has spent nearly 30 years helping clients unravel the complex web of food sensitivities, fear, and restriction.
We explore her model, the Conditioned Food Avoidance and Sensitivity Trap (C-FAST), which captures how people can become trapped in a cycle of fear, avoidance, and worsening symptoms—even without a clear medical diagnosis. You'll learn: How subconscious food-illness associations form
- The role of elimination diets, internet research, and fear-based messaging
- Why physiological reactions can be real—even when no biological trigger is found
- Practical strategies to rebuild trust in food and body
- What a biopsychosocial approach to food sensitivities really looks like
How her 6-week program, Soften Food Sensitivity Fear, helps people break free from this trap. If you or someone you know struggles with a growing list of food restrictions and constant worry about what to eat, this conversation will offer clarity, compassion, and hope. https://fastfreedomprogram.com/ Get 20% off with the coupon code: Susan.Watson.20%off

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
