How our emotions affect our physical health
Wildr Wellness Podcast with Joanne Bisset
In the very first episode of Season Three (!), Laura of Wildr Wellness, is interviewing Joanne Bisset, naturopath and emotional release practitioner.
As a nutritionist myself, I focus mostly on how food and lifestyle impacts our physical health but I’m learning more and more that there’s much more to health than just the physical….. Cue Joanne! She’s a trained naturopath and emotional release practitioner based in Raglan who has taken a deep dive into how our emotions can impact our physical health.

We chat about ➡️
How Jo started her adult life as a lawyer before getting a (pretty strong!) nudge from the universe to quit her job and go back to uni to study to become a naturopath.
Shift from getting her validation externally to internally - a process that was kickstarted dramatically when she lost her mother at a young age.
How thinking short term resulted in Jo working in a job she didn’t enjoy. She was just looking at the immediate next step rather than the big picture.
Jo breaks down for us HOW emotions affect our physical health?
And then WHY do we get unprocessed emotions in the first place?
How unprocessed emotions manifest in the body and in the mind.
My favourite tidbit - our emotions control our subconscious mind which controls 90% of our behaviours. So in other words our emotions control us, we just don’t know it as it’s within the subconscious…
Ok so we know we have emotions to ‘feel’! - how do we do it?!
How to regulate the nervous system and find safety in the body? True, felt in the body safety not intellectual safety.
Our subconscious registers any change as a threat. New business, new relationship…. Jo’s done it all in the last 12 months! So how starting a business is a short cut for personal development…!!
Jo’s new relationship - from single for 10 years to in a happy, healthy, intimate relationship with a kind man.
Nervous system requires safety for healing.
Yoga as a way to gently process emotions as it requires you to be in the present.
Difference between emotional and mental health.
