Episode 103: Conscious Eldering with Ron Pevny These days, getting older seems to be more like a war rather than a rite of passage. "Take this pill or this potion to reverse aging and stay young," they say. But is that really how we should view aging? We question this and more in this episode, where I welcome Ron Pevny, the director of the Center for Conscious Eldering and author of Conscious Living, Conscious Aging: Capturing The Gifts of Elderhood. In our conversation, we discuss the following: What is 'conscious eldering,' an approach to aging with purpose, passion, and well-being, and how it contrasts with societal norms that often lack an empowering vision for aging. Ron shares his journey, starting in 1979 with a calling to help people during life transitions, evolving into leading rites of passage and founding the Center for Conscious Eldering in 2010. The concept emphasizes intentionality, personal growth, and community, offering retreats and workshops to prepare people for a fulfilled elderhood. Ron highlights the loss of meaningful roles for elders in industrialized societies and the importance of life review to let go of past baggage.

Welcome episode to 102! featuring Geoff Lecovin, a naturopathic doctor, chiropractor, acupuncturist, and expert in breathwork. Dr. Lecovin provides an in-depth explanation of breathwork, its history, physiological effects, and benefits. He discusses how breathwork can induce altered states of consciousness and access the body's innate healing abilities by manipulating chemicals like anandamide, dopamine, and serotonin. Dr. Lecovin explains the science behind breathwork, including how overbreathing and breath holds increase carbon dioxide levels, triggering hormetic effects and stem cell release. He describes the concept of transient hypofrontality, where breathwork decreases blood flow to the brain's default mode network, quieting the ego. The episode covers contraindications and precautions for breathwork, as well as the importance of working with a guide. Lecovin outlines a typical breathwork session, incorporating various breathing patterns, music, meditation, and integration practices. He emphasizes breathworks' potential for emotional healing, neuroplasticity, manifestation, and tapping into one's "inner healer." Dr. Lecovin shares how he incorporates breathwork into his clinical practice and offers a simple 4-7-8 breathing exercise for listeners to try at home. Overall, the episode provides a comprehensive overview of breathwork's theory, practice, and therapeutic applications.

Much emphasis is being placed on the gut microbiome to look for therapeutic derivatives that provide health and medicinal benefit. And in addition, we have another natural source of compounds from human breast milk that provides a wide range of therapeutic and medicinal properties. Everybody knows about colostrum; however, this range of health constituents in breast milk goes much further. Properties of human breast milk have been linked to helping health conditions related to gut health, skin health, and musculoskeletal health. While researching a health solution for a patient of mine; I was introduced to Maya. Ashkenazi Otmazin, B.SC, M.E. and her company Maolac.

Nutritional therapy plays a significant role in managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but it is often overlooked in traditional medical care. Exclusive enteral nutrition is effective in inducing remission, while therapeutic diets like the IBD-Anti-Inflammatory Diet and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet have shown positive results. Monitoring nutrient deficiencies and biometric measurements like grip strength are essential for optimal management of IBD. To help develop a framework for this topic I welcomed on the Kim Beall, Pharm.D., who is the Cofounder and Managing Director of Nutritional Therapy for IBD, http://www.nutritionaltherapyforibd.org a non-profit dedicated to establishing evidence-based nutritional therapy as a foundational part of IBD care to improve the well-being and health outcomes of those living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Claire Hall, a researcher at Mindset Health, joins us on episode 96 discusses menopause and the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in treating hot flashes. Summary of episode: Hypnotherapy is an effective non-drug alternative for managing hot flashes, as it has been shown to reduce their frequency and severity. It has shown in trials that hypnotherapy can reduce Hot flash severity by up to 70% . It also seems to be helpful in reducing anxiety and depression and sleep disturbances related to menopause. Mindset Health develops hypnotherapy-based apps to deliver evidence-based protocols for various conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (Nerva app), menopausal hot flashes (Evia app), and smoking cessation (Finito app). Menopause is often viewed negatively in society, but it is a natural life transition that involves hormonal changes leading to symptoms such as hot flashes. Hypnotherapy works by guiding patients into a deeply relaxed state and then providing therapeutic suggestions that reinforce coolness and control over body temperature. A study involving 10,000 Evia users found that 70% experienced a clinically significant improvement in vasomotor symptoms. Mindset Health prioritizes publishing both clinical trial data and real-world user data to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of their digital therapeutics. Hypnotherapy may be more effective than traditional treatments for hot flashes. A study published in the journal Menopause found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes had a 70% reduction in symptoms, compared to a 20% reduction in women who used hormone therapy. Hypnotherapy may help to reduce anxiety and depression during menopause. A study published in the journal Maturitas found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes experienced a significant reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms. Hypnotherapy may help to improve sleep quality during menopause. A study published in the journal Sleep found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes experienced a significant improvement in their sleep quality. Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for hot flashes that has no side effects. Unlike hormone therapy, hypnotherapy has no known side effects, making it a safe and effective option for women who are looking to relieve their hot flashes. about Claire Hall Claire is the Research Lead at Mindset Health, a digital therapeutic company that uses hypnotherapy based protocols to help people manage their health. Claire was on the founding team at Mindset Health and has helped grow the company into a model for how health tech companies should prioritize strong clinical research in the digital therapeutic world.

In this short insight, I cover a common decision that patients and clinicians need to make when using naturopathic, functional and, integrative medicine. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adam-rinde/support

When people are anxious, they often get sweaty hands, increased chest pressure, shortness of breath, feel lightheaded, and they may feel tingling sensations in different parts of their body. By paying attention and having awareness to these symptoms and , they can start to calm down a little bit and self-regulate. Yet when stuck in this loop of anxiety , people often turn to learned coping behaviors or addictions to deal with these unwanted sensations. Learning to deal with this pressure cooker , before it turns into dysfunctional behavior, is something that is the work my guest Eva Angert Harren. And according the Eva, dealing with the pressure cooker does not require changing your thoughts or trying to control things. Actually its quite different; it's more about the being with the body/somatic experience and learning to release it. In this episode we go into this and much more. Eva talked about her unique work helping people with anxiety , ptsd, and also spectrum related disorders; connect with their body and create awareness. This allows for more comfort with sensations and less anxiety and dysregulation. Eva and I share a common bond as bereaved parents. I was surprised that we jumped into this topic in our conversation. Yet it was relevant. We discussed her somatic experience with the loss of her daughter, Kristina, and I share my somatic response during some experiences with my first son, Jordan.

Episode 83: Neurostabilization with Amber Walker. Link in Profile and below, or Scan QR code on picture. The worlds of Mast Cell Activation Disorder, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome have many threads in common and many shared experiences. The common thread in these conditions expands to the fact that the symptoms, causes, and triggers are unpredictable, undefined, and this experience is largely disruptive to the nervous system. Further the nervous system disruption makes the symptoms worsen. How serious should we take neurostabilization in these conditions? To help answer this question, I welcomed on Amber Walker, PT, DPT, CFMP, CNPT. Her unique personal and clinical journey provides a most comprehensive look at this area: We cover many things such as: Where to start when complex health conditions present. How the immune system and environmental triggers effect the Vagus nerve and limbic system Polyvagal theory Nervous system balancing Mast Cells and much more This episode is dedicated to Projectmercy.org an organization committed to education, healthcare, food security, adult skills and infrastructure in Ethiopia.

Current studies estimate that 2.7% to 6.5% of women in the United States have symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The broad range in prevalence depends on whether a high-sensitivity definition (6.53%) is used versus a highly specific definition (2.7%) And that is really an underestimate, because most people complaining of painful, urinary discomfort, urgency, and frequent urination; in the absence of an infection are just brushed off by their health care provider and sent home with no solutions. Meanwhile they suffer, with constant urging to urinate and pain sometimes to the point that urinating feels like peeing chards of glass. It is not something that is over in a few days. This is a chronic and intermittent condition In previous episodes of the one thing podcast we spoke about IC and got a nice view of the microbial and also biofilm component; however there was more to the story that I wanted to explore. So I reached out to Dr. Mandy LaGrega who is known as the IC healer. I was intrigued by her work in this area especially when it comes to her knowledge of the Oxalate component of IC/PBS and her understanding of the gut, fungal, mycotoxin, and psychoemotional role of these disorders. We had a great conversation on this episode about how IC/PBS develops, how oxalates play a role, the risk factors for IC/PBS, and overall approaches to healing this disorder from a nutritional approach. Enjoy! About Dr. Mandy Dr. Mandy LaGreca is a Root Cause Investigator and founder of IC Healer. She uses cutting edge science to help guide clients in investigating the root cause of their ailments. Dr. Mandy is a Doctor in Clinical Nutrition (DCN) and a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS).

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a key metric in the overall homeostatic balance of the body. HRV is simply a measure of the variation in time between each heartbeat. This variation is controlled by a primitive part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system (ANS). It is largely an indicator of how well the body is handling the Allostatic Load (stress load). I didn't truly grasp HRV until I was exposed to the work of Dr. Marco Altini; so I decided to ask him to come on and help educate my listeners. In this episode we talk about: Overview of Heart Rate Variability (HRV The Autonomic Nervous Systems as an informant of health and homeostasis. Daily HRV fluctuation vs. Baseline changes over time. Factors, value of data, and implications Different tools to measure HRV Can HRV fluctuations predict chronic or acute flareups (ie Autoimmune Disease Flare?) The impact of breathing practices and lifestyle changes on HRV? About Dr. Altini Marco holds a PhD cum laude in applied machine learning, a M.Sc. cum laude in computer science engineering, and a M.Sc. cum laude in human movement sciences and high-performance coaching. He has published more than 50 papers and patents at the intersection between physiology, health, technology and human performance.

A game changing moment in my career happened when I learned that mind/body therapies in Irritable Bowel Syndrome have a number needed to treat (NNT) of 4. Meaning 1 out of 4 people, experience statistically significant benefit when using mind body therapies to address their IBS. 1 out of 4 might not sound much to you but realize that even the best drugs earn a Number Needed To Treat of about 13. Plus mind/body therapies are often empowering, have no side-effects, and are very affordable. So I started learning more about Gut-directed clinical hypnotherapy and then encouraged my patients to get on board. Many patients continue to benefit. In this episode, I reached out to an expert in the field of Gut-directed hypnotherapy , Linda Stelluti , CHt to help demystify hypnotherapy . You'll learn that it is not some circus act and it taps into the deep underlying blocks to healing and the subconscious mind . It helps heals limiting thought patterns, anxiety, and stress patterns that perpetuate chronic illness. We had a delightful conversation about what its like to have hypnotherapy performed, how it helps the brain/gut axis, and much more. Enjoy and please make sure to see Linda's programs she is running for Gut-Directed hypnotherapy. See below.

In this episode I welcome on the esteemed exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Stacy Sims, PhD. My patients have been hearing me talk about her for years when I first started recommending her book ROAR. And, now with so many women struggling with their metabolism during their 40's and 50's , I asked her to come on and speak about her new book Next Level: Your guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause and Beyond. There are not many people who have left me speechless during my podcast and Dr. Sims did. Her explanation of the importance of estrogen, protein, nutrient timing, specific training stimuli, and overall resilience was precise , poignant, and actionable. I am sure you are going to enjoy this episode and feel more equipped to understand what the heck is happening to your body as you age. About our Guest STACY T. SIMS, MSC, PHD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women.
