Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Adrianne Hart, on air from June 17th
Wellness Hypnotist and Host of the Get Well With Me Podcast, she specializes in deep sleep, healthy weight, and habit upgrades.
Meet Adrianne Hart, a wellness hypnotist with two decades of experience. Her journey into hypnosis began as a curious teenager, witnessing a family member overcome a stubborn dental phobia in just one session. Inspired by this incredible transformation, she explored how hypnosis could alleviate her own back pain. To her surprise, a single session on a cassette tape provided instant relief, igniting her passion for learning more about this natural state of mind and making hypnosis for wellness her life’s work.
After many years of helping clients achieve their healthy weight and upgrade their habits, she discovered that she could make the biggest impact by offering all her wellness sessions for free on the Get Well With Me podcast. Thousands of people drift off to sleep each night, listening to her soothing voice, and wake up, happier, healthier, and lighter.
Free month to experience my group hypnosis on Zoom.

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Zaman Shah, on air from April 1st.
As a physician and healthcare leader with nearly 15 years of experience, I’ve witnessed firsthand how overwhelming administrative burdens and fragmented patient data systems have deeply impacted clinician well-being and patient care. Driven by these personal and professional experiences, I founded MEDWAY, an AI-driven healthcare platform designed to alleviate these burdens, restore clinicians’ passion, and foster genuine human connection in medicine. My mission is to share this transformative vision because I firmly believe healthcare must become simpler, smarter, and more compassionate. By automating time-consuming tasks and enhancing access to critical patient information, we empower clinicians to reconnect with their fundamental purpose—caring deeply for patients. Sharing this journey and vision benefits not only healthcare professionals by restoring their work-life balance but also profoundly improves the patient experience, ultimately fostering a more empathetic, efficient, and human-centered healthcare system.
I’m a physician, healthcare leader, and AI innovator with a career that spans nearly 15 years of clinical practice and healthcare management. After completing my Internal Medicine residency at the University of Kentucky (where I earned the prestigious Best Resident Physician Award from the American College of Physicians), I worked in various clinical and leadership roles. Driven by a passion to make healthcare simpler, smarter, and more compassionate, I pursued opportunities that would enable meaningful change within the industry. I further advanced my expertise by earning an MBA (Suma Cum Laude) from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Throughout my journey, I have consistently combined my understanding of medicine, business acumen, and technological insight to drive meaningful change in healthcare delivery. Recognizing the detrimental effects of administrative burdens on clinician burnout and patient care, I founded MEDWAY. My vision for MEDWAY is deeply rooted in personal experience and a commitment to innovation, ultimately transforming health care into a more empathetic, efficient, and patient-centered experience.

Fibromyalgia has been a mysterious disease, causing pain throughout the body and deep in tissues with no apparent cause. A large proportion of the medical community has believed that the disease was psychosomatic, and people essentially think that they are in pain. But, a small biopharmaceutical company, Intidyn, or Integrated Tissue Dynamics, have found what they believe to be the root cause of the disease.
Researchers from the company and Albany Medical College have found that the skin of female patients who report pain from fibromyalgia has a unique neurovascular structure or blood flow to the nerves. The scientists believe this structure may be the ultimate cause of the pain experienced with the condition.
“Instead of being in the brain, the pathology consists of excessive sensory nerve fibers around specialized blood vessel structures located in the palms of the hands,” said Dr. Frank L. Rice, president of Intidyn and the senior researcher on the study, in a press statement
Blood vessel constriction can be controlled by nerves in the skin. Patients with Fibromyalgia have an abnormally high number of nerve endings surrounding a blood vessel bridge in the skin.
“This discovery provides concrete evidence of a fibromyalgia-specific pathology which can now be used for diagnosing the disease, and as a novel starting point for developing more effective therapeutics.”
A few years ago, the company published a report in the journal Pain about a case involving a woman who was born without special nerve endings that were at the time believed to be important for touch. But the woman was fine and able to carry on with her life. She did have nerve endings near the fine capillary blood vessels in her skin, which had previously only been believed to control blood flow in blood vessels. “We previously thought that these nerve endings were only involved in regulating blood flow at a subconscious level, yet here we had evidence that the blood vessel endings could also contribute to our conscious sense of touch… and also pain,” Rice said.
Current targeted drugs, made by Eli Lilly and Forest Labs, are serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) that work on the brain. But they can also act on the nerve endings near blood vessels in the skin. “Knowing how these drugs were supposed to work on molecules in the brain,” Dr. Philip J. Albrecht, Ph.D., added, “we had evidence that similar molecules were involved in the function of nerve endings on the blood vessels. Therefore, we hypothesized that fibromyalgia might involve a pathology in that location.” As the results demonstrate, they were correct.
The team at the company looked at skin samples from women with fibromyalgia collected by the Albany Medical College and examined by a special microscope technology. What they saw was a staggering increase in nerve endings at the sight of blood vessels within the skin. These sites control the flow of oxygenated blood between small blood vessels within the skin. They can cause the blockage of this bridge area to allow the skin to radiate heat or open it up to keep heat in when cold.
“The excess sensory innervation may itself explain why fibromyalgia patients typically have especially tender and painful hands. But, in addition, since the sensory fibers are responsible for opening the shunts, they would become particularly active under cold conditions, which are generally very bothersome to fibromyalgia patients,” said Albrecht.
But these special shunts or bridges do much more than regulate heat in the body; they could be blocking blood flow to the muscles deep within the tissue.
“In addition to involvement in temperature regulation, an enormous proportion of our blood flow normally goes to our hands and feet. Far more than is needed for their metabolism,” noted Dr. Rice. “As such, the hands and the feet act as a reservoir from which blood flow can be diverted to other tissues of the body, such as muscles when we begin to exercise. Therefore, the pathology discovered among these shunts in the hands could be interfering with blood flow to the muscles throughout the body.
This mismanaged blood flow could be the source of muscular pain and achiness, and the sense of fatigue, which are thought to be due to a build-up of lactic acid and low levels of inflammation in fibromyalgia patients. This, in turn, could contribute to the hyperactivity in the brain.” The hyperactivity in the brain may account for the insomnia many patients with the condition experience.
Finding an actual physiological basis for fibromyalgia autoimmune disease will be a positive revelation for many who have been told that their pain is only in their head. With time, researchers will be able to further dissect the causes of the pain from the disease and may develop pharmaceuticals to deal with the actual cause of the pain.
PLUS.
Over 5 million people are affected by fibromyalgia in the U.S and the numbers are keep on increasing. There are numerous uncomfortable signs of Fibromyalgia. It is recognized as an unseen illness as people cannot see the way where people hurt from the disease. Usually, Fibromyalgia is a quite severe situation that the victims experience and its signs should be identified.
