Healing doesn't begin when life gets easier. It begins when we start understanding ourselves. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jil Moore, Yoga Practitioner and Director of Experience at THE BALANCE Rehab Clinic, for a deeply honest conversation about childhood trauma, healing, self-worth, yoga, and the lifelong journey of reconnecting with ourselves. It's a conversation about understandin...

As we wrap up two recent episodes of Living A Life In Balance, I've been reflecting on two conversations that approached wellbeing from very different angles. With Obi Unaka, we talked about work addiction, burnout, and the pressure many high achievers place on themselves. With Denise Stergoulis MBACP (Accred), we explored addiction, recovery, and how lived experience and equine therapy can suppo...

Can healing begin in the most unexpected places? I had the pleasure of sitting down with Denise Stergoulis, Addiction Therapist and Equine-Assisted Therapy Practitioner, for a fascinating conversation on recovery, ADHD, resilience, purpose, and the unique role horses can play in emotional healing. Together, we explored Denise's personal journey from addiction recovery to helping others rebuild t...

"One of the best conferences I've ever attended." At the Boston International Trauma Conference, I had the privilege of interviewing some of the most respected voices in trauma and mental health for our upcoming podcast series. My Guests were Richard Schwartz, Janina Fisher, Frank Anderson, Ruth Cohn , Zindel Segal, Araminta Jonsson, Wendy D'Andrea, Manos Tsakiris, Chantelle Thomas, J.W. (Terry...

One of the most important lessons I learned about leadership came from a conversation with my wife. After a difficult period in business, I found myself carrying the same mindset into every conversation I was having; focused on outcomes, efficiency, and getting things done. What I didn't realize was that, somewhere along the way, I had started relating to people through roles rather than relatio...

Can success become an addiction? And what happens when the drive that helped you achieve so much begins to cost you your health, relationships, and peace of mind? I had the privilege of sitting down with Obi Unaka, Addiction Therapist and Relapse Prevention Specialist, for a thoughtful conversation on work addiction, burnout, mental health, and the pressures faced by high-performing individuals. ...

We are delighted to announce our latest episode of Living A Life In Balance featuring Obi Unaka, Addiction Therapist. After experiencing burnout and work addiction firsthand during a successful career in finance, Obi transformed his life and dedicated himself to helping others overcome addiction, executive stress, and mental health challenges. In this insightful conversation with Abdullah Boulad...

A few words. A lot to reflect on. During our recent trip to Boston, Abdullah Boulad, Founder and CEO of THE BALANCE Rehab Clinic, sat down with an extraordinary group of guests and leading voices to explore recovery, trauma, relationships, family systems, resilience, and what it truly means to live a life in balance. This carousel captures some of the insights that stayed with us long after the ...

I’ve always wanted to create a space for honest conversations around mental health, healing, and the very human experiences we often struggle to talk about openly. The latest two episodes of my podcast, Living A Life In Balance, were with Heather Hayes. M.Ed., LPC, CAI and Dr. Leah Austin, and I’ve been reflecting on both conversations a lot lately. What made these conversations so meaningful to...

For many years, THE BALANCE Rehab Clinic has been dedicated to supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging moments. Today, I'm grateful to share that THE BALANCE has been nominated at the World Spa Awards 2026 in two categories: 🏆 World's Best Wellness Clinic 2026 🏆 Switzerland's Best Wellness Retreat 2026 This recognition reflects the dedication, compassion, and...

THE BALANCE Rehab Clinic team is in Boston for the trauma conference, connecting with some of the most respected voices in trauma, mental health and recovery. Alongside attending the conference, we’re also filming a new series of conversations for Living a Life in Balance Podcast, creating space for thoughtful discussions that bring together clinical insight, lived experience, and the deeper huma...

We are honoured to share that THE BALANCE Rehab Clinic has been nominated at the World Spa Awards 2026 in two categories: 🏆 World’s Best Wellness Clinic 2026 https://lnkd.in/eRHzigc5 🏆 Switzerland’s Best Wellness Retreat 2026 https://lnkd.in/e73wdYuV These nominations represent far more than recognition. They reflect the trust of our clients and families, the dedication of our teams, and the ...

I had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Leah Austin, GP and Nutritional Therapist, for a conversation that challenged many of the ways we think about health today. What stayed with me most was the reminder that symptoms are rarely isolated. Stress, sleep, gut health, inflammation, energy, and mental clarity are often far more connected than we realize. Dr. Leah brings a perspective shaped not only b...

🎙️ We’re heading to Boston! THE BALANCE Rehab Clinic team will be attending the 37th Annual Boston International Trauma Conference, taking place 27–30 May 2026, where we are proud to be the official podcast sponsor. 🎉 Throughout the conference, Abdullah Boulad will sit down with leading voices in trauma, psychotherapy, neuroscience, recovery, and mental health for a series of meaningful convers...

Over the years, I’ve often seen that some of the people struggling the most are often the most sensitive, caring, and emotionally aware. What stayed with me most from this conversation with Heather Hayes. M.Ed., LPC, CAI was her reflection that addiction does not come from a lack of morals or values, but often from trying to survive emotions someone does not yet know how to process. Conversati...

Behind every struggle, there is a human story asking to be understood. My conversation with Heather Hayes. M.Ed., LPC, CAI felt less like an interview and more like a deeply honest human conversation that stayed with me long after we finished recording. I was truly grateful to have her on the podcast. Beyond her decades of work in intervention and recovery, what stood out most was the warmth, hu...

My daughter once asked me, “How do I say no without hurting someone I care about?” She had already made plans to spend New Year’s Eve with a friend. Later, another friend asked if she could join them. She didn’t want to hurt her feelings… but she also didn’t want to change the plan she had already made. So she asked me what to do. What she was really asking is something many of us struggle with...

Grateful for the conversations over the last three episodes of Living a Life in Balance. Thank you, Caroline Curtis-Dolby, Dr. Mel Pohl, and Fiona Yassin, for your honesty, your depth, and the way you showed up in these dialogues. Each conversation was a reminder that behind every framework or expertise, there is a human story, and that’s where real connection begins. These moments stay with me...

I had the pleasure of welcoming Fiona Yassin as a guest on my podcast Living a Life in Balance. Fiona is a psychotherapist and the founder of The Wave Clinic, working extensively with families and couples navigating trauma, complex emotional dynamics, and the lasting impact of early life experiences. In our conversation, we explore how family history and communication patterns continue to shape r...

It’s strange how quickly we get used to what we have, and how easily it turns into something that still feels not enough. Without really noticing, we start living in that quiet “once this changes…” mindset. Once things calm down, once I get there, once this works out. It always stays just a little ahead of us. From my own experience, happiness isn’t something that arrives after everything is s...

We’re all trying to be the best version of ourselves. The best partner, the best parent, the best everything. But underneath that, we’re still human. Fragile, vulnerable, and easily hurt. Relationships don’t usually break overnight. They erode slowly when care, attention, and understanding start to fade. The full episode is now available on YouTube. Link is in the comments! #podcast #mentalhea...

I had the pleasure of welcoming Caroline Curtis-Dolby as a guest on my podcast "Living a Life in Balance". Caroline is a highly experienced psychotherapist who has spent many years working with families and couples navigating complex emotional situations. In our conversation, we explore how early life experiences, family systems, and communication patterns often influence relationships in ways pe...

For a long time, I didn’t really separate stress from anxiety. Stress felt familiar. It came with work and responsibility, and it made sense. But anxiety was different. It stayed with me even when things were under control. No clear reason, just a constant state. Over time, I started to understand this more clearly and wrote about it in my book Be Human First, how our system does not always rese...

I remember a period where everything looked fine from the outside. Work was moving, decisions were getting made, things were “on track". But I wasn’t sleeping properly. I was waking up already tense. I told myself it was just a busy phase and that it would pass. But it didn’t. That’s the part we often miss. You can keep functioning for a long time while something underneath is slowly buildi...

What does addiction look like from the perspective of someone who has both lived it and treated it? It was a real pleasure sitting down with Dr. Mel Pohl, who, while working in addiction medicine, was also struggling with substance use himself. In this conversation, he reflects on what it took to get sober over 40 years ago — and how that experience fundamentally changed the way he understands ad...

What stands out to me is that people with bipolarity often keep functioning, leading, and performing at a high level, even when something inside starts to shift. In our work at The Balance, I’ve seen that it helps to slow things down at that point. Keep decisions small, write things down, wait before making bigger moves, and let someone you trust reflect things back to you. If this feels familia...

I didn’t sit down one day with the plan to write a book about communication. "Be Human First" came out of my own experiences, in leadership, in relationships, and in those moments where I realized that communication is not about control, but about connection. At its core, the book is about helping us show up more honestly, feel a bit safer in conversations, and connect in a way that actually fee...

A few days after publication, my new book "Be Human First" has reached #1 across multiple Amazon categories: #1 in Mental Illness & Mental Health #1 in Psychological Pathologies #1 in Communication & Social Skills #1 in Counseling & Psychology #1 in Interpersonal Relations I’m grateful to everyone who has taken the time to read, share, and engage with the work. #MentalHealth #Communication #Le...

Compulsive sexual behaviour is often mistaken for a high sex drive, but they’re not the same. This conversation explains why these patterns are less about libido and more about emotional regulation and coping, similar to how people may use food for comfort. Understanding this difference is key because recovery isn’t about control, but about reconnecting with a healthy relationship to your body a...

In this episode, Abdullah Boulad speaks with Dr Paula Hall about the realities behind compulsive sexual behaviour beyond labels, assumptions, and surface-level understanding. It’s a grounded conversation about how these patterns develop, why they’re often misunderstood, and what it actually takes to address them in a meaningful way. A valuable listen for anyone interested in the deeper side of m...

Some conversations are not easy to have, but they matter. In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Paula Hall to talk about areas that are often misunderstood or kept quiet. Intimacy, online habits, and behaviours can gradually become difficult to manage. What I found most valuable in this conversation is how calmly and clearly she approaches the topic. Without judgment, without oversimplifying it. ...

Today I’m happy to share that my new book, Be Human First: The Psychology of High-Stakes Communication, is now officially out. To mark the launch, the book will be free on Amazon from March 17 until March 22. I wrote this book after many years of observing how conversations change the moment pressure enters the room. Not just what people say, but what happens underneath those moments when trust ...

For a long time, I didn’t ask for help. Not because I didn’t need it, but because I had built an identity around being the strong one. The one who figures it out. The one who doesn’t break. Coming from war, rebuilding my life in a new country, proving myself again and again… control felt safe, and achievement felt like protection. But strength can quietly turn into isolation. I’ve learned that ...

Privacy in mental health treatment is not simply a preference, it is a clinical necessity. When people know their personal information, presence, and vulnerability are protected, psychological safety becomes possible. At The Balance Rehab Clinic, confidentiality is treated as part of care itself, creating the conditions where honest, meaningful therapeutic work can take place. #MentalHealthCa...

Parental favoritism does not end in childhood. Its impact often follows people into adulthood. When children grow up feeling compared, overlooked, or valued differently, it can shape self-worth, attachment patterns, achievement drive, and long-term mental health. Sibling comparison and beauty bias are not small experiences. They become internal narratives about identity and value. In this conv...

I have always believed that you cannot separate a clinician from the life that shaped him. Recently, I sat down with Dr. James Flowers for a conversation that reinforced this belief. His path into psychiatry did not begin in textbooks or training programs. It began much earlier, through a life marked by generational addiction, repeated loss, and the difficult realities of growing up in a dysfunc...

For many men, athletes, executives, and founders, control over food and the body isn’t questioned. It’s praised. Skipping meals is called “willpower.” Overtraining is called “drive.” Rest becomes weakness. Hunger becomes guilt. But the pressure to perform, to stay sharp, and to stay lean doesn’t come without a cost. And for some, that cost is a quiet, daily war with food, self-image, and worth. ...

I’ve had many conversations with parents who tell me the same thing: “We didn’t see it coming.” What they describe is not neglect or a lack of care. It’s a young person who consistently meets expectations and never raised an alarm. On the surface, everything seemed fine. But by the time the struggle became visible, it had often been present for much longer. One case that deeply impacted me was t...

I have met many young adults who were told they are “too young” to be this affected, that time will fix it, or that they should move on quickly. What is often overlooked is that early loss can shape identity, safety, and direction at a stage of life where those foundations are still forming. In this episode, we explore how young people can be supported through grief in a way that is structured, t...

In my experience, people don’t avoid grief or trauma because it is too big. They avoid it because it feels unknown. And the unknown feels dangerous. The “monster” they fear facing in therapy often turns out to be something already woven into their own story. When it is named, understood, and faced directly, its power shifts, and what once felt overwhelming becomes something the mind and body can ...

It was a privilege to sit down with Edy Nathan for this conversation. We spoke about grief in a way that is rarely allowed in public discussions. Not as something to resolve quickly, but as an experience that reshapes identity, memory, and the way a person relates to the world. Many people are not struggling because they are weak, but because they are trying to move past something that asks to b...

One of the patterns I see most often is how quickly people blame themselves when a conversation doesn’t go well. They assume they said the wrong thing, chose the wrong words, or missed the right moment. But often, it’s not the words themselves, it’s the space they land in. I remember my early years in Switzerland after leaving war-torn Lebanon. Surrounded by a new culture and language, I often qu...

Many men don’t avoid talking about mental health because they don’t care. They avoid it because too few spaces feel safe or truly made with them in mind. In my experience, when support is woven into community, shared activity, and everyday connection, conversations happen more naturally. Not forced. Not performative. Just human. This is an important reminder that men’s mental health support oft...

Compassion cannot be scripted. It grows within the team's culture. When staff feel supported, understood, and treated with humanity, that care naturally carries into their work with clients in mental health care and addiction treatment. Therapeutic teams model the emotional environment they hope to create. Respect, emotional regulation, and empathy within the team directly shape the quality of co...

It was a real privilege to sit down with Robin Lefever for a deep and honest conversation on Living A Life In Balance. Robin brings decades of experience in addiction and mental health. What I value most is his openness in speaking not only from a clinical perspective, but also about his own struggles, relapse, and personal journey. We explored how treatment can sometimes become unintentionall...

Many children and young adults today grow up with more fear and less freedom. Fewer chances to make mistakes, less unstructured play, and fewer community spaces mean less opportunity to build confidence and resilience. This conversation with Johnny Graaff reflects on parenting, social isolation, and why real connections and shared spaces still matter deeply for mental health and emotional develo...

The Balance RehabClinic has been named among "The Best Wellbeing and Rehabilitation Centres of 2026, featured in the #SpearsIndex. Thank you, Spear's Magazine, for this recognition and for highlighting excellence in wellbeing and rehabilitation for high- and ultra-high-net-worth individuals worldwide. This acknowledgment reflects our commitment to private, clinically governed care for complex ...

Addiction often begins much earlier than people expect. Not with excess but with a quiet need to belong, to fit in, or to feel normal. Over time, the form may change. Alcohol gives way to drugs. Drugs to prescription medication. One behaviour replaces another. What remains consistent is not the substance, but the underlying struggle. This pattern is common in addiction, and it is why lasting r...

Navigating Young Adult Recovery: Insights and Actionable Strategies It was a pleasure to sit down with Johnny Graaff for a thoughtful and honest conversation on Living a Life in Balance. We spoke about addiction and recovery as they actually unfold, often beginning early, shaped by environment, emotional regulation, and the need to belong. Our discussion moved beyond substances to look at adole...

Walking into a room where you feel different or misunderstood can be intimidating. Sometimes, the people you least expect are the ones who meet you with kindness. In moments like this, acceptance doesn’t come from explanations or solutions. It comes from being welcomed without judgment and feeling cared for, even by strangers. That quiet kindness can gently change how someone relates to themselve...

For many people, the moment that leads to treatment is not a single dramatic event. It is a quiet but powerful realization that a personal boundary has been crossed. Acting in ways that go against one’s values can bring a clarity that can no longer be ignored. Change often begins when someone notices they are becoming someone they never intended to be. That awareness, even when it arrives withou...

Shaping Addiction Recovery: Rethinking Relapse, Outcomes, and Support It was a pleasure having Johan Sorensen on the Living a Life in Balance Podcast. The conversation was open, honest, and shaped by real experience. We spoke about what recovery actually looks like in real life. Not as a straight path, but as something that takes time, patience, and the willingness to stay present when things fe...

Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year As we reach the end of the year, I want to take a moment to say thank you. The work we do in addiction and mental health care is meaningful and demanding. Every day, our teams support individuals and families during some of the most challenging moments of their lives, work that requires not only expertise, but presence, flexibility, and compassion...

Fear kept Natasha in a relationship she knew was harming her. She didn’t know where to go, didn’t trust herself, and felt trapped by expectations that said security should be enough. It took time, courage, and rebuilding self-belief to realize that staying was costing her more than leaving ever could.

Natasha Silverbell speaks openly about the moment she could no longer look away from the truth. Driving her children while drunk became the wake-up call she couldn’t ignore. It wasn’t about promises or trying harder anymore. It was the moment she realized she needed real help, and real change.

When Dr Louise lost her father, no one explained anything. The adults whispered, avoided the topic, and tried to protect her by keeping her outside the truth.

Death changes our perception. A sudden loss can be an invitation to awaken, to embrace life and reflect on what we want to leave behind. What legacy do we hope to create? What do we want people to remember about us; our courage, our presence, and maybe the way we made them feel about themselves?

Purpose After Loss: Dr Louise Stanger on Grief, Trauma, and What Aging Feels Like I had the honour of sitting with Dr Louise Stanger, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, author, and global parenting expert, for a conversation that is both deeply personal and profoundly universal. We explored grief in its many forms and how loss reshapes our identity and our relationships. Dr Louise brings decades...

Grief reminds us of how fragile life is. It brings up helplessness, especially when someone we love is sick or suffering. In these moments, people need others to show up with steadiness, care, and genuine presence. Support becomes less about fixing something and more about being fully there for what the other person is living. You can watch the full episode on YouTube using the link is in the co...

Herzlichen Dank für die Einladung in den „Wundertüte OMR Podcast“ und fürs Teilen der Folge. Hat mir viel Freude gemacht, unsere Perspektive auf THE BALANCE Rehab Clinic und das Arbeiten mit einer extrem fokussierten Zielgruppe zu erzählen. Danke Philipp Westermeyer – großartige Plattform!

Paul explained that yoga opened a new kind of connection for him, a presence where mind, body, and spirit could finally meet. In that space, everything was welcome. Resting was allowed, compassion was essential, and he began to relate to something greater with more openness and ease.

Grief is an unwanted change we all meet at some point. It isn’t only about losing a person; it can be the loss of a part of ourselves, a job, a friendship, or a pet. What matters is allowing space for it, because when we give grief room, we make room for every other feeling too.

I had the honour of welcoming Paul Denniston, the creator of Grief Yoga, for a conversation that stayed with me. Paul spoke with honesty about the moments that tested him, early pressures, unspoken emotions, the weight he carried quietly, and the habits he relied on before finding a healthier way forward. Together, we explored how grief shapes our inner world, how the body holds unresolved expe...

Bea Palya reminds us that the voice can heal when it comes from a true and open place. When you speak with emotion, your voice becomes more than words. It becomes a real connection between bodies, carrying presence, color and honesty in a way that simple information cannot.

Singing isn’t about sounding good. It’s about letting your voice move freely so your body can relax and release what it’s been holding. When you allow sound to flow naturally, your breath opens, your tension softens, and you begin to feel a quiet sense of freedom from the inside out. The full episode is available on YouTube, link is in the comments! #LivingALifeInBalance #podcast #soundhealing ...

Today, I’m grateful to share a new episode of Living a Life in Balance with a guest whose work carries a rare depth and honesty, Bea Palya. Bea has an extraordinary way of using voice not just as music, but as a pathway into emotion, regulation, and connection. Our conversation touched on how sound can help us move through anxiety, grief, and the pressures we often carry quietly. Her reflections...

Stepping out of your comfort zone is uncomfortable, but that discomfort can become the thing that motivates you to grow. Being an expat pushes you to put yourself out there in ways you wouldn’t have at home. It stretches you, expands your perspective, and becomes an opportunity to grow as an individual.

To come back to your center and calm yourself, you first need to understand what the anxious part of you is asking for. When you pause and listen, you begin to see why you’re feeling this way and what would bring you comfort. That inner wisdom is already there, and your soul knows what you need when you give it the space to speak. The link to the full episode is in the comments! #LivingALifeInBa...

Cheryl grew up facing learning difficulties and often felt out of place academically. She believed she wasn’t smart and that something was wrong with the way her brain worked.

And understanding that changed everything. The link...

We often grow up being told to find our passion, as if it’s something we’re supposed to chase or define quickly. But in reality, passion isn’t something the mind decides.

Sat means eternal truth, and Dharam is the path of right living, the way of being that sustains the world. This is a gentle reminder that words hold energy, especially the ones we identify with.

The Balance Rehab Clinic founder Abdullah Boulad reveals why burnout has become the silent crisis among CEOs, entrepreneurs, and celebrities. “Burnout doesn’t discriminate.

Our brain isn’t designed to make us happy. It’s designed to seek pleasure and avoid pain. In a world filled with distractions, noise, and temptation, it’s easy to chase what feels good in the moment and lose sight of what truly matters. However, growth begins when we start making decisions based on our values rather than our impulses. Doing what’s right is rarely easy, but it’s what leads us to ...

One of the most powerful tools for happiness is also the simplest: acceptance. When we stop resisting what is and learn to meet each moment as it comes, we begin to find peace within ourselves. Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up; it means letting go of the constant fight to control life. Brian reminds us that when we observe our thoughts and emotions instead of being consumed by them, we create s...

For Brian, addiction did not start with heroin. It began with something as simple as a cigarette. What started as a way to belong and escape soon became a pattern of pain and anxiety. Cigarettes led to hash, then to pills, and eventually to heroin. Each step was a search for peace, a moment of calm in the chaos he carried inside. In this episode, Brian reflects on how addiction often begins with...

NEW PODCAST EPISODE I had the honour of sitting with Dr. Brian Pennie, PhD on my Living a Life in Balance Podcast, and it was one of the most inspiring conversations I’ve had so far.   Brian’s story is a powerful testament to the human capacity for change.

Psychedelics isn't about losing control, it’s about meeting yourself more fully than ever before. Everything that surfaces in the experience already lives within us. It can be painful, but it’s deeply human. Through this process, people start to feel emotions they didn’t realize they were carrying and can later return to them with more clarity, compassion, and self-love. Full episode available...

Many who come to The Balance have already tried ketamine or other psychedelic treatments but found little relief. It’s not that the medicine doesn’t work; it’s that it was offered without real integration or support. Psychedelics need to be part of a holistic process that includes the body, therapy, and compassionate guidance. Healing begins when the experience is understood, not just felt. Ful...

I asked Licia if she would sing something. She took a breath, smiled softly, and said, "Yes." Her voice filled the room, tender, raw, and full of presence.

Think about how you speak to yourself. Would you ever say those words to your best friend? If it would hurt them, it would hurt you too. Words like “you’re not enough,” “you’re ugly,” “no one loves you”. They leave marks, even when they come from within. Speak to yourself with the same care, kindness, and compassion you offer the people you love. You deserve that too. Watch the full episode on ...

Safety isn’t just about being free from danger. As Gabor Maté says, safety exists when there’s an absence of threat and a presence of connection. Connection to others through trust, care, and belonging. And a connection to ourselves through authenticity and truth.

Healing begins with awareness of our bodies, our emotions, and the way we meet ourselves! In this episode of Living a Life in Balance, Abdullah Boulad sits with Emi Iizuka, Mindfulness Therapist at The Balance, for a deeply human conversation about healing, safety, and compassion. Together, they explore what it truly means to feel safe in your own body, how self-compassion reshapes the way we re...

Stress often begins with what we see, and how our brain makes sense of it. Our eyes are directly connected to the part of the brain that activates the stress response. Whether the danger is real or imagined, the body reacts the same way, preparing to fight, flee, or protect itself. By becoming aware of this process, we can start to respond to stress with a better understanding and calm, instead ...

During sleep, the brain restores and rebalances itself, and nutrition plays a crucial role in this process. As part of a holistic approach, small amounts of therapeutic sugars, such as galactose, rather than refined sugars, can help alleviate sleep disturbances and support deeper rest. A gentle reminder that real rest isn’t about sleeping longer, but about giving your body what it truly needs to ...

Our bodies are built for balance. ⚖️ In nature, there were always days when food wasn’t available, and the body adapted to that. Short periods without eating, known as intermittent fasting, activate a natural recovery mode where the body repairs, resets, and restores energy more efficiently. So, giving your system time to rest isn’t deprivation; it’s how the body was designed to thrive. You ca...

NEW Podcast Episode The Longevity Blueprint: Gut Health, Metabolic Energy, and Stress Control   Today's episode of Living A Life In Balance is featuring Dr. med. Simon Feldhaus, Medical Doctor at The Balance in Zurich.   We talk about the gut–brain connection and how our nutrition, stress levels, sleep, and mindset shape both physical and mental health. Simon explains how a functional approach an...

Our deepest fear as human beings is often the fear of being abandoned; it’s part of our biology. From the moment we’re born, we depend entirely on our caregivers, and that bond shapes how safe we feel in the world. When a child senses disconnection or rejection, they rarely express it; instead, they carry it silently, often turning it inward as a feeling of unworthiness.  Watch the full episode...

Mental health is not something we face alone; it’s something we nurture together. True wellbeing flourishes in environments of understanding, where people feel seen, supported, and safe enough to express themselves. Support doesn’t always need to be grand; sometimes it’s a quiet presence, a listening ear, or a gentle reminder that no one has to carry everything on their own. When we reach out, w...

The brain can handle almost anything, but not when it’s under threat. When the nervous system is in survival mode, it’s nearly impossible to make different choices or see things clearly. That’s why, at The Balance, the first step is always to calm the nervous system. We create an environment where the body and mind feel safe, removing anything that might be perceived as a threat. Once that sens...

High-functioning depression is the biggest thief of happiness! It hides behind productivity; you keep going, you show up, you achieve, yet you don’t feel any of it. On the outside, everything seems fine, but inside, there’s a quiet emptiness. We often imagine depression as lying in bed, crying all day, or being unable to function, but high-functioning depression looks different. Watch the ful...

Saskia also shares her journ...

Loss can indeed open space for something new, but not at the beginning. In the intense phase of grief, hearing “you’ll heal” or “they’re in a better place” can feel distant and unhelpful. What matters first is presence. To stay with the pain, to acknowledge its weight, and to honor it. Only from that place can healing and acceptance begin. 🌿 Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Guilt often shows up in grief. It can reflect love, responsibility, even a natural attempt to make sense of what happened. But if we stay there, it becomes a dead end. Some guilt is realistic, and with time, we can learn to live with it and even forgive ourselves. What matters is not letting guilt close us in, but finding a way through to healing.

The loss of my father was sudden and deeply painful. He was my role model, still young, and I wasn’t prepared. We traveled to see him after his stroke, but he was already unconscious. A day later, he was gone. At first, I was frozen, questioning life and everything I thought I knew. Over time, I found that speaking with others, sharing stories and memories, was what kept him alive within me. ...

The best strategy is prevention—avoiding places or situations where substances are present. When avoidance isn’t possible, planning ahead becomes essential: set arrival and departure times, have a safe way to leave, and give yourself permission to step away if it feels overwhelming.

Recovery isn’t a race—it’s slow, patient work. Mental health needs time, a careful process of transformation that can’t be rushed. For some, meaningful change starts in weeks; for others, it takes months or longer. The journey involves therapy, specialist support, and consistent follow-ups. It’s not always easy, but the growth and clarity you gain along the way make it worth every step. Watch...

Healing starts with trust. Addicts often hide their reality, carrying guilt and shame alone. But when you open up to therapists, family, friends—the weight begins to lift. Being transparent is hard, but it’s the first step toward forgiving yourself and reclaiming your life. Watch the full episode on YouTube, link is in the comments. #LivingALifeInBalance #Podcast #AddictionRecovery #Support

The truth is simple and painful: addiction gives you a way out. You don’t have to face the hard, unpleasant emotions—pain, shame, grief—you just use, and for a moment, it’s gone. That’s the “value” it offers: an escape, a shortcut to forgetting. But that relief comes at a cost. It’s temporary, deceptive, and keeps you from really living. Recovery isn’t about removing the escape—it’s about learnin...

Addiction brings deep shame—over the choices made, the boundaries crossed, and the people hurt along the way. Many addicts feel that no one could truly understand them or help. But therapy can open the door to forgiveness, making it possible to face the past and slowly rebuild a sense of self-worth. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Hospitals are often designed for speed and function, but comfort matters too. 🌿 At The Balance, we focus on creating spaces where adults feel cared for—where colors, light, and small details help people relax, feel safe, and open up. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about supporting healing and well-being in a way traditional treatment spaces often don’t. Watch the full episode on YouTube. ...

For healing to happen, clients need to feel safe—and privacy is at the heart of that. The space must hold them gently, offering calm and containment, so they feel cared for and supported. At The Balance, we work with people facing deep trauma and complex conditions. The setting itself becomes part of the therapy — quiet, grounding, and never overwhelming—so clients can open up at their own pace. ...

At our Palma Hub, the vision wasn’t only to create comfort and calm for clients—it was also about designing a place where the team feels at ease, where collaboration flows, and where spaces adapt to different needs. A healing environment should hold everyone who walks through it—both those seeking care and those offering it. Watch the full episode on YouTube. Link is in the comments. #Livin...

Keto Diet can be powerful, but only in the right context. In certain medical situations—like children with schizophrenia—it can be very effective. For most people, though, trying keto without proper guidance can backfire. Coming from an uncontrolled diet, it’s easy to miscalculate nutrients, which can lead to liver issues, constipation, and even increased stress or anxiety. When planned carefull...

Think of your gut like a house: the lining is the wall, and nutrients are the building blocks. If the blocks aren’t held together properly, the structure can’t function as it should. Leaky gut can be influenced by medications, nutrient absorption issues, or imbalances in gut bacteria. Strengthening the gut lining supports digestion, immunity, and overall health.

Most of us live in constant fight or flight — rushing, reacting, barely breathing. It’s an old survival mode, wired into us from a time when danger was everywhere. But even now, with everything we've evolved through, many of us are still stuck in that state. Life is busy, messy, overwhelming… But we have to keep reminding ourselves to slow down. Breathe. Move. Come back to yourself. Full episo...

As we grow older, we often drift away from our emotions and from the things that once lit us up. Life takes over, and we lose touch with our passions. Sometimes, we don’t even know what’s holding us back. But reconnecting doesn’t mean turning your life upside down. It starts small — step by step — allowing your passion to gradually become an integral part of your everyday life. Often, all it tak...

We grow up carrying expectations — moving fast, trying to prove something. However, none of this ultimately remains with us. Letting go of that pressure creates space to live with honesty and ease. Not to please others, but to follow what truly brings joy. Be kind. Leave a good impact. But do it as your true self.

Sometimes the best prescription for stress… is to “shake”. 🕺 At THE BALANCE RehabClinic in Mallorca, the world’s most exclusive wellness clinic, this wasn’t just something we talked about - it was something we lived. Throughout my stay, the team, the practitioners, and I all embraced the simple, joyful act of movement. We danced. We laughed. We shook off the weight of the week, and it worked. ...

Most of us breathe too fast, too shallow — barely enough to feel alive. We move through life in survival mode, and while we might seem like we’re functioning… we’re not functioning fully. When you slow down, breathe deeply, and allow your body to move and feel, you reconnect. You start to understand what you truly need and what your body is asking for.

“There are no difficult situations.” It’s not the situation itself; it’s how you choose to respond. There’s no such thing as a good or bad decision, only a decision shaped by your perspective. You always have the power to choose how you react, how you behave, how you see things. That choice is where your freedom begins.

In a world that measures us by achievements, appearances, or comparisons, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters: our value. We spend our lives chasing approval, striving to meet expectations that don’t reflect who we are. But here’s the truth: your self-worth is your anchor. When you recognize your value—without external validation—you begin to make choices that align with your true self. You ...

Our bodies often know the answers before our minds do. It’s not just about thinking or trying to solve problems mentally—there’s a lot of information stored in our cells that guide us. Many treatments focus on the body itself because it holds clues and signals that the mind might miss. You can train and test this connection, and for many people, it’s a vital part of healing and recovery. Trusti...

When you train, you’re putting stress on your body — it’s a good kind of stress, but still stress. Rest is just as important because that’s when your body recovers and adapts. Without enough rest, sleep, and proper nutrition, you’re adding extra strain to your system. Training your full body every day without breaks doesn’t make sense for most people. Taking time to rest and regenerate helps yo...

Racquet sports like tennis aren’t just fun, they’re a cheat code for living longer. You’re moving your whole body, staying agile, and keeping your muscles active. But more than that, it keeps you social, engaged, and mentally sharp. It’s something you can do well into your 60s, 70s, even 80s. Not many sports let you grow old with them — this one does.

A lot of what holds us back comes from beliefs hidden deep in our subconscious. While we think we’re making conscious decisions, research shows that only about 5% is conscious—the other 95% happens below the surface.

Most people don’t realize how much potential they actually have. We tend to hold ourselves back — sometimes out of laziness, sometimes just to avoid discomfort. It’s easier to stay in that low-energy zone than to push through it. But if you want to grow, you have to push yourself past that.

Surgery isn’t always the first step. In many cases, the body simply needs the right conditions to begin healing on its own. True recovery starts by removing the body from the positions and habits that caused the issue in the first place. Take a herniated disc, for example. Instead of rushing into surgery, we focus on restoring mobility, relieving pressure, and supporting the body’s natural heali...

Not every body responds the same way, and not every technique works for everyone. There are many forms of physical therapy, and it takes time to find what truly helps. But when muscles are tense, they will always react to some kind of mechanical release. The key is finding the right kind of trigger for your system.

Many doctors do their best — they treat, they operate, they follow protocols. But true healing goes beyond the physical. Too many patients don’t feel seen or safe. No one talks to them, no one checks how they’re really doing. What doctors say and how they show up leaves a deep emotional impact. And only a patient who feels safe can truly begin to recover.

Walking is one of the most natural ways to realign the body and brain. It helps connect the left and right sides of the brain, supports circulation, and gets everything moving — from fluids to thoughts.

From early on, we spend most of our days seated at school, doing homework, staring at screens. Even educational programs keep kids sitting for hours.

Without activity, there’s no release, and no one’s getting out of thei...

Healthy boundaries are essential, especially when raising children. Wealth brings more opportunities and access, but that can also be risky. Without social guidance and clear limits, it’s easy for things to spiral out of control. Time spent in harmful habits only deepens the challenge of recovery, which is why setting boundaries early builds the resilience and direction needed, no matter the r...

Creating safety starts with being regulated and grounded ourselves. When we show up with authenticity, clients feel it — and that’s where trust begins.

When people lose their jobs or take time off, they often imagine it will feel freeing, but it doesn’t always feel that way. A balanced life requires more than just resources; it needs structure.

I don’t see work as one part of my life and my personal life as another. To me, they are all connected. The way we live, the values we hold, and how we treat others shape every area of our lives. It’s not about switching between different versions of ourselves, but about showing up fully and consistently, wherever we are. There’s no “work self” and “home self”; they aren’t separate, but pieces ...

Stress triggers cortisol release, which affects both our body and mind. Normally, cortisol peaks in the morning and gradually lowers throughout the day. But when stress keeps cortisol levels high and constant, it can lead to ongoing anxiety and tension.

From brushing our teeth to reacting in meetings, much of our daily behavior runs on autopilot. It’s efficient—but not always effective. Bringing awareness into our routines interrupts the autopilot.

It can be challenging to do in moments of struggle or frustration, but with practice, training yourself to focus more on the good will help more good things happen.

This is Nature’s Anti-Depressant Not every low mood requires medication. For mild cases, natural options can help support your brain—like tryptophan, found in turkey, eggs, cheese, and beef. It helps increase serotonin, your body’s natural “feel-good” hormone. Combine that with vitamin D, and you have a powerful, nature-made boost for your mood.

This Is Why Mental and Physical Health Need to Be Addressed Simultaneously A young athlete came in—fit on the outside, but silently battling depression, trauma, even suicidal thoughts. He was eating clean, but it wasn’t enough. Testing showed his body needed 6,000 calories a day. He was under-fueling without realizing it. Once his brain got what it needed, things started to shift. Healing isn’...

"We Need To Stop Fearing Food" There’s so much fear-based advice online — myths, trends, and rules that make food feel like the enemy. But it’s not. The way we talk about eating has become toxic: all about restriction, shame, and control. Food was never meant to be feared — it’s about nourishment, care, and connection.

The Magic Of Trauma Work When someone feels safe enough to speak about what they fear—that’s where the magic begins. They're no longer running from it. They start to see the trauma from a different perspective, instead of being trapped in the image that once terrified them. That shift… that growth… it’s a different person emerging. And it’s one of the most beautiful things to witness. Watch th...

It Takes Time to Transform! "I thought I had failed this client. We completed our Rolfing sessions, but I wasn’t sure it had made an impact." Six months later, he came back a completely new person—successful, grounded, thriving. It just needed time to settle in.

What We're Missing in the West? We live in isolated homes, surrounded by walls—both physical and emotional. We crave connection, but often show up as images of who we think we should be. It's no wonder it's hard to truly connect. Maybe it's time to go the other way. Maybe we need to start creating spaces where people can just sit together and be real — with no masks, no filters, just presence. ...

We're the ONLY Mammals that do THIS! And because of that, our upper body—the neck, chest, and heart—is exposed, vulnerable. These are intense, sensitive areas. When we feel threatened—physically or emotionally—we instinctively protect them. We hunch, we close off, we guard. It’s not just posture; it’s protection. Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dP-gfWC5 You can also listen to...

We Need to Learn the Language of our Body Most of us answer how we think we feel, not how we actually feel. The mind jumps in with intellectual answers—what we should feel, what makes sense, what sounds right. But the body speaks a different language. And many of us were never taught how to listen to it. Learning to tune into your body is a skill—and it’s one of the most important ones you’ll ev...

In a world that glorifies hustle, stillness might be the most powerful form of healing… Last week, my team travelled to Mallorca to explore THE BALANCE RehabClinic, a renowned rehabilitation centre known for its integrative, longevity-focused approach. 💡🧠 At The Balance, experts in neurobiology, somatic therapy, functional medicine, and trauma-informed care work harmoniously to restore health on...

Does Pain Lead To Potential? Some people push hard and chase greatness—not just out of passion, but to survive something. To prove something. To fill a space that once hurt. As healing begins, the workaholic fades. But the mastery remains. The skill, the dedication, the passion—they’re no longer fueled by pain, but they’re still there. And that’s a beautiful transformation. Watch the full e...

Our bodies carry deep wisdom. While the mind helps us solve problems, not everything in life can be fixed with logic. Some things are just too heavy, too complicated. In those moments, the body helps us process, feel, and move through the pain. You don’t always need to fix everything — sometimes, just listening to your body is enough.

Als Flüchtlingskind kam Abdullah Boulad mit seiner Familie in die Schweiz. Nun betreibt er ein Geschäft mit psychisch angeschlagenen Superreichen.

We are natural problem-solvers, but we often get stuck in overthinking. Instead of solely relying on the mind, what if we learned to connect with our bodies and work through challenges from within? People who struggle to connect to their bodies often lack the wisdom that guides good decision-making. When we’re disconnected, even simple decisions become difficult.

You can never step into the same river twice. Life shifts, people evolve, and you’re never the same person you were yesterday. This is a powerful reminder — we change, and we can change. Our perspective can shift, and what once felt impossible or overwhelming can suddenly seem manageable. This transformation often starts within us, and the way we see the world can reflect that inner growth. Wat...

Mindful Eating Exercise When you’re truly present with something as simple as a grape, you step into the sensory experience. And in that moment, you can’t be caught up in anxious thoughts about what might happen if you eat it. You’re just there, fully present. These small acts of awareness can create real changes in the structure and function of the nervous system, gently shifting us toward ca...

We Need To Remember What We Are Pause. Take a breath. Come back to your center. Feel the emotions as they rise, notice the thoughts as they pass, and reconnect with what’s real — the taste of food, the sound of laughter, the presence of family. It’s so easy to get lost in the noise of life, but in these simple moments of awareness, we remember who we are and what truly matters. Watch the full e...

The Irony Of Wealth Affluent individuals often carry significant stress and responsibility. Despite having the means to design their lives in luxurious, relaxing ways, many still feel overwhelmed and trapped by their own success. The real challenge lies in simplifying things — taking time for yourself, seeking the right support, and creating space for meaning and reflection. Sometimes, true we...

Technology is moving fast—and in healthcare, staying updated isn’t a luxury. It’s a responsibility. With rising demand, growing patient expectations, and constant pressure on systems, we have to think differently. For me, it’s not about chasing the latest trend, but about asking: How can this genuinely improve someone’s life? When used with intention, technology can support more accurate dia...

We Have to Bring Our Brain Back To Balance The pace of the world we live in is relentless. We work hard, often without stopping, and then we’re told to celebrate. In some cultures, substances become part of that celebration—whether it’s after a long week of work or during the holidays. It becomes ingrained that using substances is a reward, a way to unwind. But in a world that’s constantly overs...

Awareness Is Everything Understanding your mind better gives you the ability to identify your thoughts and emotions. Once you can recognize them, you gain the power to let them pass without getting caught up in them. You start choosing when to act, what to act on, and how to respond. With this awareness, success will follow. Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/d2W8Yn6P You can also ...

Leadership is more than just decision-making; especially in healthcare, it’s about truly understanding the responsibility we carry—the lives we impact and the futures we shape. We don’t just lead teams; we’re committed to pushing for better care, innovative technologies, and real change. At the heart of it all, our clients—with their unique stories, challenges, and victories—are always at the ...

Addiction Robs Us of Motivation As humans, we’re wired to chase positive emotions—excitement, joy, purpose. That’s what drives us. But addiction flips the script. At first, the substance gives you that hit of pleasure, that false sense of motivation or happiness… but afterward, it drains everything. You don’t even realize it’s happening. Slowly, those natural highs disappear. And before long, t...

This is the Moment I went to Rehab It often takes a significant event to push someone toward rehab—a crisis, a breaking point, a moment that forces you to face the truth. You find yourself caught in a cycle, going back and forth, trying to manage the addiction without truly letting it go. Because deep down, a part of you still loves the way it makes you feel. You don’t love the damage it cau...

EVERYONE Should Be Able to Find HELP Everyone deserves to find help, whether it's through professional support or a compassionate community.

You have to be FULLY DEDICATED to be FULFILLED When you dedicate yourself fully to something meaningful, fulfillment comes naturally. Take a monk, for example—his life is centered around a single purpose, giving it deep meaning. In contrast, chasing material success or superficial goals often leaves us feeling empty. True fulfillment comes from being fully connected and committed to something th...

You are NOT Alone! We are social beings, and it’s crucial to feel that we’re seen, understood, and supported by others. We need to know that there are people who genuinely care, who are there to help, and that others are going through similar struggles. Just having information isn’t enough to provide full support; the connection and shared experiences are what truly make a difference in healing ...

Children Challenge Us to Emotionally Regulate Children are our greatest teachers when it comes to emotional regulation.

Through their journey, we learn and grow, becoming better at understanding and...

How did smartphones change our lives? And how much are they controlling us? They dictate where our time and attention go, shaping our thoughts and behaviors more than we realize.

Healthcare needs to be HOLISTIC, Not Isolated Back in Switzerland, I faced my own struggles, including being hospitalized after a heart attack.

I did the hard work, but it wasn’t until I approached my health holist...

By the time a child reaches 18, parents have spent around 95% of their child’s waking hours with them. As a father, I find this statistic eye-opening. It’s a powerful reminder that the early years of a child’s life are crucial not just for their development but also for the bond we form with them. Fatherhood has been a journey of learning, growing, and embracing the unpredictable nature of raisi...

Nearly 30 million people in the U.S. will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime. But this is more than just a statistic—it’s real people, real struggles, and real pain. To the outside world, eating disorders may seem like they’re just about food, but for those living with them, they run much deeper. They are about control, emotions, and deep-seated fears, shaping how someone sees thems...

We often look for reasons to justify our happiness — achievements, success, or external validation. But true happiness doesn’t need justification.
