Is Food the Missing Link in Your Healing Journey?

Are you meditating, sleeping well, doing your exercises—and still waking up in pain? You’re not alone. In this eye-opening video, we explore the missing piece of the healing puzzle: food.

Learn how your gut, brain, and fascia are in constant conversation—and why that connection may be keeping you stuck in a healing loop, despite all your best efforts. We’ll walk through how low-grade inflammation, hidden food irritants, and soil quality affect your ability to feel safe in your body and fully aligned.

From glyphosate-laced grains to the forgotten wisdom of soaking nuts and veggies, we dive deep into how food becomes chemistry—and how that chemistry becomes your emotional, physical, and postural reality.

Discover how to listen to your body using food diaries, breath cues, and posture shifts—and how changing what you eat may finally let your nervous system relax, your fascia soften, and your spine unwind.

This is the first video from my own food forest. I’ve been building this space for 15 years, and I’m thrilled to share the abundant connection between nature and body with you.

ABOUT DR. MELANIE CARLONE
Hi, I’m Dr. Melanie Carlone, a physical therapist and health educator specializing in movement therapy, holistic healing, and sustainable wellness. My goal is to help you relieve pain, restore mobility, and create a healthier, more balanced life—inside and out.

With over 30 years of experience, I blend science-based physical therapy with integrative approaches like somatic retraining, mindfulness, and environmental health. I believe true healing begins with presence—calming the nervous system and restoring alignment in body, mind, and spirit.

I’m also the co-founder of ThePivot.Earth, a regenerative systems initiative that partners with communities to restore living soil, strengthen local leadership, and design large-scale, values-driven projects. We don’t tell people what to do—we collaborate with transformational leaders to help communities thrive from the ground up.
