In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Pragya sits down with J'Nai Zugates and Stephanie Thorpe, the co-founders of The Meraki Way, an integrative healing method designed for high-achieving, burned-out women who are done being dismissed by traditional healthcare.
They break down how unresolved trauma, chronic stress and years of self-abandonment show up as autoimmune issues, long COVID symptoms, chronic pain, hormonal chaos and relentless fatigue. You will hear how Stephanie walked away from expensive medications and infusions that were not fixing the root cause, and how J'Nai went from being told she would never run again to completing a marathon after long COVID and multi-system damage.
Together they explain how functional lab testing, somatic work, energy healing, holographic memory resolution, epigenetics and nervous system regulation can work as one framework. If you feel misdiagnosed, gaslit or stuck in symptoms no one takes seriously, this conversation gives you a grounded, science plus spirit path back to your own body.
achieving women reduce inflammation, balance hormones and reclaim sustainable energy without sacrificing their ambitions.
Key Takeaways:
-
Chronic symptoms like fatigue, pain, autoimmune flares and long COVID complications are often the body’s response to years of unresolved stress, trauma and self-abandonment, not random bad luck.
-
The Meraki Way treats health like a bank account. Everything from ultra-processed foods to toxic products to suppressed emotions pulls from your balance, while sleep, real food, sunlight, community and nervous system regulation deposit back in.
Functional testing for hormones, gut health, food sensitivities and stress markers gives hard data that your brain and body are overloaded, and it also proves the

impact of healing work when you retest.
-
Holographic memory resolution and somatic work help locate the moment the nervous system froze during trauma, update the brain’s story and release pain, insomnia and chronic stress patterns that standard labs cannot explain.
-
Epigenetics shows that unhealed trauma can travel through generations. Working with mind plus body tools can shift patterns for you and your family line.
-
High-achieving women often burn out because they carry everyone’s problems. A core practice of The Meraki Way is giving those problems back energetically and learning that “no” is a complete sentence.
-
Their 90 day framework combines functional protocols with intuitive tools like human design so clients leave not only healthier but with a clear blueprint for how they are wired to live and decide.
