Freedom From Fear: A German New Medicine Podcast

In this episode, guest Christine Cardoza shares a deeply personal adaptation story: growing up in a high-conflict family system (anger, yelling, walking on eggshells), experiencing a chronic nest worry/argument conflict and how that resulted in her experience in ongoing breast growth (even after a breast reduction).

We also unpack the cerebellum constellation (and why it can look like emotional numbness, coldness, or “I just don’t care anymore”), and why understanding the biological purpose can create a massive reframe: less shame, more clarity.

This conversation also dives in to family dynamics, grief after losing a parent, internet triggers, identity traps, and what it actually looks like to “downgrade” your conflicts in a way that preserves your energy and your joy.

This is a continuation of our conversation with Dr. Chris Cole. Please click here to listen to the Part 1 episode before starting this episode. 

In Part 2, we dive into biological integrity, resilience, and how living in alignment with nature can impact conflict intensity and shift perception through the GNM lens. We discuss nuance, neutrality, and why “healing” paths and conflict expressions look different for every individual. Chris explains the intersection of hands-on work and coaching, the role of intuitive inclination when choosing modalities, and the importance of avoiding rigid protocols or promised outcomes. We also explore belief systems, placebo dynamics, and how conviction can influence biological processes - even when the method itself isn’t inherently causal. Chris shares some personal GNM symptom stories, including throat, bronchial, and nasal programs,  as well as client cases involving back pain, childhood skin symptoms, and headaches. The episode closes with a discussion on constellations, understanding “bio-individuality,” and exploring how our conflicts subtly shape behavior, interests, and personality patterns.

In Part 1 of this conversation, our special guest, Dr. Chris Cole, shares how his vitalistic chiropractic background naturally aligned with the German New Medicine framework and how GNM gave him the language for what he was already witnessing in practice. We explore how his perspective shifted from “fixing” physical problems to understanding the psyche-brain-organ connection, how GNM clarified and expanded his understanding of the nervous system, and why he encourages practitioners to personally experience the five biological laws before bringing them into their work. This episode also covers how Chris introduces clients to GNM, why his practice now attracts people ready to take personal responsibility, and how he uses hands-on care as “attention work” rather than symptom treatment.

Freya shares her honest journey of pregnancy and early motherhood through the lens of German New Medicine (GNM). From nausea and restless leg symptom stories to food worries, Wi-Fi anxiety, and the pull of perfectionism, she reveals how GNM helped her see symptoms as natural adaptations rather than failures. We explore parenting with trust in the body’s capacity, letting go of fear, and building community in a modern world - all while embracing curiosity and compassion.

Why Mia no longer sees her health through the “Lyme” label - and how shifting focus to symptom-by-symptom resolution changed everything.
In this part two of our conversation with Mia, we unpack her experience with a “Lyme disease” diagnosis through the lens of GNM - and her resolution of the symptoms once linked to that label. Alongside resolving multiple anaphylactic allergies (see episode 38), Mia untangled the conflicts behind her Lyme symptoms, stepped out of the illness identity, and was able to get her life back. We explore how broad, catch-all diagnoses can obscure the real biological programs at play, why in GNM we look at symptoms individually rather than through diagnosis labels, and how labels can become woven into our self-identity. Mia also shares how GNM has transformed her parenting, her child’s health, and offers advice for integrating this paradigm into family life.
