    <description>Meet People Worth Knowing. 
Every entrepreneur has a story worth hearing - a lesson learned the hard way, a pivot that changed everything, a project they can't stop talking about.
Connection Spotlights is where those stories get told.
Short, candid conversations with coaches, authors, speakers and business owners - 10-15 minutes, no fluff, just the good stuff. 
Each episode introduces you to someone doing interesting work, shares what they're up to right now, and leaves you with something to think about.
Because the best solutions often come from hearing how someone else figured out theirs.</description>

        <![CDATA[<p>Brain fog, decision fatigue and a body that's slowly falling apart — even when the labs come back clean. If you've felt like something's slipping but your doctor says you're fine, this conversation offers a way forward. Hanna Kinez shares how applied kinesiology, herbalism and nervous system work can help you reclaim focus, productivity and ownership of your health.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT YOU'LL LEARN</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How applied kinesiology works alongside traditional medicine to address symptoms doctors can't explain</li>
<li>Why the source of physical pain is rarely where you feel it — and what to do instead</li>
<li>The role your nervous system plays in brain fog, productivity and decision fatigue</li>
<li>A simple self-care technique using scars to improve mobility, digestion and even neck pain</li>
<li>Why age doesn't determine how sharp, fit or productive you can be</li>
<li>What it means to move from "fight or flight" into "rest and digest" — and why that shift matters</li>
<li>How context switching and modern work habits affect your body's ability to function</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>A FAVOURITE MOMENT</strong></p>
<p>"Where the pain is, very rarely this is the problem." — Hanna</p>
<p><strong>ABOUT HANNA KINEZ</strong></p>
<p>Hanna Kinez is a medical herbalist certified in applied kinesiology, cranial sacral therapy and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). Over the past 15 years, she has worked with thousands of engineers, managers and specialists who came to her after years of managing symptoms nobody could properly explain. Trained in Chinese and Tibetan medicine, Hanna works alongside traditional doctors to help clients understand what their bodies and nervous systems are actually doing — not through philosophy, but through a practical toolkit. She practices in English, Polish, German, Russian and French.</p>
