Discover Health Podcast
As a Doctor of Chiropractic and health coach, I feel like my mission is to help moms struggling with chronic illness. We know how hard it can be for moms to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated with the health care system because we lived it. My wife battled chronic Lyme, mold illness, EBV and more. After finding solutions that actually helped her go from using the walls for support just to walk through the house to now exercising and traveling with her family, we want to help other moms achieve their dream health goals too!
For exhausted Christian moms like you, this podcast will help you change your health trajectory with intentional, doable steps so you feel genuinely hopeful about your future instead of stuck in survival mode. If you keep listening for 6–12 months, you’ll get real, practical, and actionable advice from me and from experts who’ve either lived your struggles or walk closely with women just like you, so you can feel confident, supported, and guided toward better health.

What if your symptoms aren’t malfunctions… but messages?
In this powerful episode of the Discover Health Podcast, Dr. Joshua Sharp interviews Cindy Costley, creator of the Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Technique (EBDT), who spent 34 years battling severe allergic reactions, chronic anaphylaxis, and what doctors later identified as Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).
At one point, her liver and kidney enzymes were failing. Doctors told her it was time to focus on “comfort care.”
But everything changed when she discovered that her body wasn’t betraying her.
It was communicating.

In this conversation, we explore:
• The connection between trauma and chronic illness
• How the nervous system stores survival patterns
• Why mast cells may activate when the body feels unsafe
• The link between childhood trauma and immune dysregulation
• What “fight, flight, freeze” looks like biologically
• The difference between releasing trauma and integrating it
• How EBDT works to help restore nervous system regulation
• Why emotions must be acknowledged, not suppressed
• How faith, science, and energy can work together in healing
Cindy shares how unprocessed trauma at ages 6, 14, and 15 shaped decades of allergic responses and immune dysregulation — and how healing those root triggers changed everything.
If you struggle with:
Chronic allergies
MCAS
Autoimmune conditions
Unexplained symptoms
Nervous system dysregulation
Emotional suppression
Feeling stuck in survival mode
This episode will challenge how you think about healing.
