Releasing Energy through Cleansing for Better Health

Rachael Dardano

Thank you so much, Tom and it’s a pleasure to be here and to share.

Tom McCarthy

So tell us first, I’m just really intrigued how you made that shift. You were selling equipment that allowed people in labs to do diagnostics, and actually you still do a little bit of that, but very, very different. You had me do something yesterday that I think you’ll get into, but how did you make that shift to where you are now where it really is going inside in that internal wisdom that we all have, how did you make that shift? What brought that about?

Rachael Dardano

Yeah, it’s a great question. I think like so many practitioners like go into more holistic wellness. It was my own healing journey and my own health that was a catalyst for looking in a different direction as far as staying with regular medicine. A lot of my friends were physicians. I had some health issues of my own, eczema, some product digestive issues since childhood, which was manifesting into my ability to not think clearly, to not be able to focus as much as I was before. And at the time, I was around 33 years old, I had three small babies, three daughters including twins. And so I was starting to look for alternatives and ran across a colon hydrotherapist, had a few sessions which were profound in the connection between my emotions and what I was suppressing and my health issues. And that was what drove me to start looking at other alternatives of lifestyle and energy medicine, as opposed to just regular doctors and lab work, things that I had been exposed to prior to that.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, it’s interesting because I think so many people, even watching here, they’ve gone to doctors, traditional western medical doctors. They don’t feel good, but the doctors can’t find out what’s wrong, right? Or even if they can identify the symptoms, they don’t know how to fix it. And that’s what drew you to the work that you do today was not getting the answers. And thank God you were creative enough and resourceful enough to continue searching, which we’re gonna get more into some of the solutions that you found, but that’s why a lot of people are coming to this summit. They know there’s something not right, but everywhere they go, people can’t find answers for them. And hopefully, you’ll provide them with some answers today too, which I’m really excited about.

Rachael Dardano

Right, it can be very frustrating. And when you know and you can feel in your body, something’s not quite right, it’s a little off, but you go to the doctor, you find out your lab work, there within the normal range. And what the physicians don’t tell you is that those normal range is for the American society as a whole, which isn’t necessarily your normal range or a healthy range. And so what I have learned over the years, Tom, is it’s really about the subtleties. And it’s about learning to trust your own body when something’s not quite right or not quite where you think and want it to be, to continue to pay attention to the wisdom of yourself, to be your own doctor, to keep looking for what could make that connection, what is it in my lifestyle, what is it that my body needs now to feel happier, to feel more joy, to feel more in alignment with why I’m here. And that happiness driven life is so important to how we enjoy our lives, right?

Tom McCarthy

And why are people so disassociated from those subtleties? Because it makes total sense, everyone is expecting, from the advertisements they’ve seen, a pill that instantly cures you. That’s not gonna happen. It’s the subtleties, the subtle energies, but people aren’t in touch with that today. I mean, so many people are just so disassociated, what’s going on that separates them from this internal wisdom that they should be tapping into?

Rachael Dardano

So true. And I think it’s a little bit by design. All of the technological advances that we have, fantastic for making life easier, but they’re so distracting. You have, people don’t even have long conversations anymore. People people, and it’s really difficult to form these new relationships and our children, teenagers, and young children, you might see them sitting at the dinner table and they’re just completely tuned out. And I think as a society, we’re so used to having distraction and sound and TV, we’ve lost connection to ourselves. And then there’s another layer. There’s the physical layer. I think our food system is riddled with information or lack of information as far as nutrients and toxic chemicals and preservatives. Even our toothpastes having ingredients in there that are actually dissociating us from ourselves. And so it’s a concentrated effort on what’s physical and where’s the emotional mental disconnect from our own internal truth and our body and what it’s trying to tell us.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, and you talk about–

Rachael Dardano

So maybe also, I think there’s another overwhelm. There’s another layer of being overwhelmed and wanting to just tune out. And so food, alcohol, we’re doing things that are distracting us and letting us to just check out rather than tuning back in.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, I liked what you just said a second ago, what the body’s trying to tell us. When someone’s not well, you look at it differently. First of all, you believe that, with the correct information, support, the body can heal. But when the body, I was reading some something you wrote, you said that there’s times in everybody’s life where there’s overwhelm or it’s just too much. And the body then acts up or becomes a little bit ill or create symptoms. What is it trying to tell us? What is it trying to accomplish when we feel this illness? Because a lot of people think, oh, I’m just sick. I got it from so-and-so or this is happening, but you look at it a little bit differently. What is the body trying to teach us or tell us or help us out with.

Rachael Dardano

So to me, the way I look at it is the body is actually helping us to retune in. So creates a pain, it’s trying to help us to refocus whatever is missing or what’s out of alignment. So sometimes, like our hips might hurt, that there’s disconnection, you might be sitting too much, you might have a decision to make that, something that we really want, but know that we shouldn’t do. And so that might manifest in hip pain if there’s an emotional energetic connection to it, not just a physical. So it’s really looking at the subtleties and instead of coming, oh, something’s wrong, start coming to a place of curiosity, like, wow, what is my body trying to tell me? Where can I go from this and learn from it so that I can correct that area in my life, so that that ache or pain can resolve itself.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

Rachael Dardano

Yeah. And so different body systems hold different energetics from an emotional component and also from a chemical component. So some people, they are lacking energy. They feel really drained and tired and their body’s too bogged down with chemicals or emotional stress. That’s number one, is determining which is it or is it both. We have to support the body’s energy to become more in alignment so that healing can happen because let’s face it, the body knows how to heal. We don’t have to think about a cut, and willing to heal, although that might help a little too. It just does it on its own. How? There’s more to it than just biology. There’s a synergy that happens. And when that synergy is more in alignment, healing happens faster and easier and better than when it’s not.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, that’s awesome. And I love your philosophy of when the body’s not healing, it’s just a signal to go inside and clean things up. And you talk about a systems approach to healing. Describe what that means, systems approach.

Rachael Dardano

Well, in a way, our body is just a big factory for getting rid of waste and taking in what it needs. So many systems are focusing on what nutrients to take in, and from our approach, we look at how’s the body getting rid of waste. So we have obviously urine and pooping, we start there. If you’re constipated or if there’s something off with your digestion, that’s 70 to 80% of your immune system and a lot of our emotions are held in our gut. Let’s face it, when we get nervous, we get butterflies in our tummy not in our brain. We’ll throw up even if we get that upset, right? Our bodies know that this is our heart and our gut is where our wisdom is held. Our intuition is held and our immune system, and that’s biological and spiritual connectedness there. 

So you have to start there. Second, we’ll look that skin, the skin is the largest detoxification organ. So if you’re having any type of discoloration or skin blemishes, rashes, itching, which is what I had, eczema all over my body, I wasn’t eliminating well, my body’s sewer system was all backed up. So the skin starts to show that. So if you start looking at your body as where is it showing signals, how do you help eliminate the waste that your body doesn’t need to have anymore? Your body then has more energy to go towards creativity, towards thinking, creating new healthier cells, as opposed to managing and just staying in managing and staying in survival, staying in, you can’t thrive if you’re full of it.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, well, that sounds good. And the body does need energy to heal. If it’s being used up just with the detoxification or the elimination process, there’s not enough to stay in to heal, which is a really interesting way of looking at it. Yeah.

Rachael Dardano

Well, and I hear so many people come to me when they, first, they haven’t gotten answers of other places and then they have tried a detox or a cleanse and then they felt worse. And so they’re like, oh, I don’t wanna do your plans. I don’t want, well, you might be doing it out of order. People do a liver cleanse and it’s not, your body’s not ready for a liver cleanse. It doesn’t have enough energy to do a cleanse. We need to roll up the mitochondria, get some rest, put things in alignments, quiet the body down so that it can start gathering some reserves and gently start going into a cleanse. But I think that the idea of a systems based approach is really assessing where that individual is, so that we can individualize the protocols and go at the pace that they need as opposed to just following a program.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. You had me do something yesterday which was really interesting. You had me take a scan and it was me just speaking into my microphone here for not even that long, but it was a, whatever the process was, and you can tell people more about it, it was really fascinating because it made some diagnoses as to what was going on and in so many different categories, not just organs, I mean, that was part of it, but emotions, I mean, all sorts of a, exposure to environment, it was really, really fascinating. Take us through a little bit of that process of what you had me do and what that output was ’cause I thought that was really cool.

Rachael Dardano

Sure, thank you. So the NES system is the one that I’ve been using for the past six years or so. The best way I can describe it is for anyone who’s played music or has enjoyed music, you can tell when the band is really on, right? All of the, the pianist is playing with the guitarist or whatever, and everything seems, it’s just music, it’s beautiful. So what about a band when there’s one person in the band who’s just a little off and it’s subtle, but you can still detect that, oh, ooh, that just didn’t sound quite right. Everything else is pretty good, but this isn’t right. The NES scan utilizes your body as your instrument, your voice is your tuning fork. And then our bodies hold frequencies within that will be a little bit off when they’re not quite right or they’re toxic in some way, right? Need addressed. So the voice recognition of the NES scan detects those subtleties, and is able to allow us a picture into those subtleties of your body and what’s using the most energy, what attention the body wants and then tries to link those together so we can do that systems based approach. Where do we start? Where is your energy most being used? And what is the body asking for to get some support in those areas and where to start. So it’s a beautiful quick easy assessment that’s rich in detail, allows us to give a individualized meditation to the subconscious, which is where a lot of our energy is. We do things, sometimes it doesn’t make sense logically, but we’ll do it anyway.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, no, that’s really cool. And I just did that meditation you sent me this morning, it was great. And loved it, it was really, really cool. About 20 minutes, really, really powerful meditation. Very cool. And so that was customized based upon what you saw on my scan.

Rachael Dardano

Correct.

Tom McCarthy

Oh, very cool, very nice, yeah.

Rachael Dardano

Yeah, so that’ll change each time you do a scan.

Tom McCarthy

Okay, interesting. And so what does the scan look at? Talk about the components of where you look because you, it’s not just a scan, it’s actually, you’re coaching and you’re being able to analyze the scan, you gave me some unique insights on the scan, but what are the things that when you have somebody do the scan, what are some things that you look at as you go through that to tailor your recommendations?

Rachael Dardano

Great, so first one I do is have a conversation generally with the person to find out where their health is now, where their goals are and what would be considered their biggest pain body, what’s the complaint or issue that they want to address. We then do the scan which takes, like you said, only a few seconds.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, it was crazy, yeah.

Rachael Dardano

And we can do it from anywhere, which is beautiful. And then we go through the scan and we look for a theme, we look for, is this emotional? Is this because you’re not bringing enough energy in from the outside, like from sunlight or sleep? Oxygen is a big one right now. Hydration is a big one for a lot of people. We have to have these essential building blocks from the outside, love, for example, sleep, big deals. Then we go through each system in the body that doesn’t have enough strength to do its individualized job. There is a link between Chinese meridians confirmed by quantum physics, which is the analysis, is when space and is there links between the organ systems that we need to support. And so it goes through all 12 of those stages. Then it goes into the mind body assessment. So it’s looking at thoughts, feelings and emotions that you might have had in the past that are being stored in the body as trauma. And so many of us have traumas that we can understand and others are very subtle. Your dad slapped your hand for reaching up on the stove and you made it mean, oh, I shouldn’t reach up or I’m gonna get hurt, and sort of make up stories. But it makes a difference later on in life in my belief. In this system, I’ve seen it time and time again, will come up. And they’re like, oh yeah, I remember.

Tom McCarthy

Wow.

Rachael Dardano

And infoceuticals that people will take, they’re water imprinted with vibration, the body just needs information to correct. If you have that information then the corrections can happen and you can start making changes in your life where you might not have had the willpower before to do that.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, and so the process is, you do the scan, you get an expert like you, that then coaches you through what’s going on, so you have an awareness, that’s what you did with me yesterday. And then the infoceuticals are bottles then that are shipped that are structured water with a vibration in it that has information that your body can absorb to make the correction, is that how it works?

Rachael Dardano

Right, I know it sounds a little crazy, but they work. And all the body needs is information. The cells themselves know what to do with that information. So we want, well, the way I think about it is, are you in flow with life and what are you gonna do, or does it feel like you’re swimming upstream? Does it feel like everything that you do just keeps hitting against resistance or elements? If you feel like you’re getting that resistance, these might be the insights that you need to be able to get back into flow, get back to your best highest self and have a joyful life. And I mean, that’s really what it’s all about. And we’ll live more productive, happier, healthier lives with the people around us.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, well, I love it. And the reality is it’s not a huge stretch. When people, like people think medicines that they see being advertised on TV have magical properties, no, it’s a vibration, right? It’s information. Now, many times, while they can help with symptoms, that information stored in that pill is gonna have side effects and you can see at the end of most advertisements, they list all the side effects. You’re like, whoa, is it even worth getting rid of this symptom to get all those side effects? Versus this is information, this is vibration in water and without the side effects, right?

Rachael Dardano

Well, that, yes and no. So every time you do a healing, you get a little bit of a healing shift. You might feel after a week or so of being on infoceuticals, we kind of celebrate in our office just a little bit when someone gets the sniffles or they get a little bit of more of a rash or they get weakness and tiredness, that’s your body going through that phase of healing and detoxification. Internal Wisdom was designed so that we could help support the systems in that detoxification process. So we have light beds, we have infrared, we have colon hydrotherapy, natural ways for the body to help get those out so that your body can then be cleaner and work more efficiently.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, so the side effects would be more like the body healing and detoxing, you’re gonna get a side effect like that.

Rachael Dardano

Generally very subtle. Sometimes it’s epiphanies or dreams that will happen that the body needs to work through and release them when we suppress so many of our emotions that we feel are negative, or we don’t wanna remember as much, and so we’ll suppress those. Or what we hold on to, I mean, makes us sick sometimes. There’s that emotional component that goes along with healing in my experience. And so we address the physical in detoxification, helping those pathways to clear on a cellular biological phase and the emotional mental that goes along with that.

Tom McCarthy

And so this approach that you have is amazing. What types of things do people come to you with? Is it a broad spectrum? Are there sweet spots that you tend to see people come to you for help with, what types of things do you help people with?

Rachael Dardano

It’s a great question. We do get all kinds of clients. However, I tend to see people that are ready for a transition. Fed up with what they’re already doing, and they’re ready for something different or they’re in a transition, changing of jobs, they need to make a decision. It’s usually emotional, but it’s oftentimes physical. So we do get digestive issues, mental health clarity, depression, anxiety, then sleep issues, and then we get a lot of people that are coming in for support for detoxification with autoimmune Lyme, other conditions that are more intense. But the primary chunk is, they have a decision to make, they may acknowledge it or they be lying to themselves that they have to make it and they’re wanting some assistance and clarity for that.

Tom McCarthy

It’s awesome.

Rachael Dardano

Clearing the space, taking care of yourself, tuning into what your truth is, is a process of learning how to self-love. And they get that support. We bring some humor to it. My personality is just that, that we, everything we take so seriously and if we just learn to lighten up and relax into it, boom, your answer comes through and you figure out a way to do it. And that’s a magical part of healing.

Tom McCarthy

I love that, I love that philosophy. Yeah, and I love the name of your company, Inner Wisdom. That’s really, really cool. So when you start with a client, what are the expectations you want the client to have when they come to work with you?

Rachael Dardano

Well, being open to possibility, open to what would life be like if you didn’t have this thing holding you back?

Tom McCarthy

I like that, that’s really, really cool. And because most people, they’re so stuck in the thing, their brain hasn’t even gone there, their mind hasn’t even gone there. And so part of what you’re doing right at the beginning is open that up because that is important to have a place you wanna move into, not just a place you wanna move out of, like where do you wanna move into which I know that that’s a big thing that you help people do. So how does somebody, if they want to, how do they work with you? How do they find you? Where would they go?

Rachael Dardano

So, you can could us out on internalwisdom.com, I’ll send a link on that you can distribute out to the participants if you’d like, that can have them sign up and do what you did yesterday, which is the voice recognition scan. And we can have a little consult to talk about what their goals are and then review that if you’d like.

Tom McCarthy

Okay, great. So internal wisdom, internalwisdom.com. And then, if they go to that, will they be able to get in touch with you or do we need a special landing page like internalwisdom.com/globalhealing? Can you set that up?

Rachael Dardano

I sure can.

Tom McCarthy

Okay, great. So internal wisdom.com/globalhealing, and then Rachael will set up a landing page where you’ve got a special offer to be able to get started with her. And I think that’ll be fantastic. So what are the top priorities when you look at a client coming in, what are the things that you look, like yesterday, when you worked with me, take me through the process of how you, the way your brain was working, the way your mind was working, because you had the scan, then you talked with me a bit about personal history, like decoded a little bit. What were you doing with me?

Rachael Dardano

So, I was paying attention to the subtleties with you, Tom. I do that with everybody. People say really what’s on their mind and they don’t even realize it. At that subconscious level, people wanna be seen, heard, felt, loved and appreciated, right? So if I’m truly present with you, I can pick up on your subtleties. I can pick up on where we need to start. What could be the most impactful for you today right now? So sometimes that’s a difficult conversation depending on whether or not you’re open and would like to hear it. So I usually start off slow. I start off with where you get the biggest bang for your buck, and then we go from there. So I’m usually sorting out where to start. Is it energy that needs to be brought up for you, which could include lots more rest or cultivation of saying no more than yes. And especially over-achievers tend to overbook their schedule at some point, right? So, or is there a physical element that we need to really help support so that the body can get rid of the waste and start that healing process. If you’re distracted with pain or lack of sleep, it’s really hard to go into that more spiritual aspect of self. So I’m assessing one or two buckets, which bucket would you be in? How do I start? Can you handle more or do we need to do it slow?

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, that’s really– And it’s so cool, I mean the whole integrative approach. So the mind, body, you even say you look at stored traumas, ’cause those are big, like that. If you don’t heal those inside, it’s hard to get the physical body up and functioning because it’s sucking energy from you. So I love your integrative approach. I think even without the scan, you would be phenomenal in helping people. I love too though, how you’ve got the scan and you have the wisdom of years of coaching people together that’s incredibly dynamic. And I know it’s a game changer for you in helping a lot of people.

Rachael Dardano

Yeah, you’re right, Tom. I think doing this so many years now, I really can be in tune with people and very present. So I almost am the NES scan in some, but it’s really great confirmation for you to be able to see that, for you to be able to look and go, oh yeah, I can recognize that. And so, so many of my clients say, how does it know that based on my voice, right? And it’s beautiful to witness people witnessing themselves and having confirmation for that. And you’re able to use the meditation at home or the NES infoceuticals or the miHealth that comes along with it which is a health, post electromagnetic frequency, but a really cutting edge tool that is available as well. So, we’re our best doctor. And when we start doing things for ourselves, it’s much more rich. And these are the epiphanies I’ve had. This was what I did on my own. You wouldn’t believe what I did. I would have made this other choice to eat this meal, but I was able to stop myself and tune in and watch the sunrise and small things that make a big difference not only on our own wellbeing, but ownership of own health.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, and I was, I thought the scan and your wisdom was really on track yesterday. So I would encourage everybody to check out Rachael and what she’s doing with NES, the scan and just the great work that she does. If people do want to go to your health and wellness center, where is that located? I know it’s in Northern California, but we’re exactly.

Rachael Dardano

Yeah, we’re right outside of Sacramento up in Folsom California.

Tom McCarthy

Okay awesome, and that’s, you said they have, in the health and wellness center, you have all sorts of services in addition to what we’ve been talking about, the NES scan and the coaching, what else do you have there?

Rachael Dardano

So we’re very much into sound and sound vibration. We are working with veterans with PTSD and trauma and we had patient tanks at one point, but found we could do just as much healing with sound vibrations, so special speakers, special zero gravity beds to offer that colon hydrotherapy because let’s face it, a lot of people have digestive issues and hydration problems. That is a great place to start to teach ourselves how to let go. We have, oh, it’s called a HOCATT, it’s oxygen spa, sauna, infrared saunas and red light therapy. So everything that help with the detox process, we might want to help with that.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, that’s amazing. And everybody, I really encourage you to check out Rachael, my session with her, I’ve already said it, but I thought it was really fantastic and I’m looking forward to taking the drops and re-educating my body and just achieving even more health. So Rachael, thank you so much for being part of this. Thank you for your internal wisdom and thank you for helping all of us tap into our internal wisdom. We really appreciate you being on here.

Rachael Dardano

Thank you so much, lots of love to you. Come on up to Northern California and see me.

Tom McCarthy

I definitely will. And I know a lot more people will too.

Rachael Dardano

Great, great, thank you.
