And here's a fun fact: 940 million stems of roses just landed in Miami for Valentine's Day. (Yes, that's a real number!) The Bud Vase Trick: Small Gesture, Big Impact Want to brighten someone's day without breaking the bank? Jill suggests buying mini bud vases (you can grab 48 on Amazon!) and gifting a single bloom. The sentiment matters more than the size, and it's an easy way to spread love on Valentine's Day, Galantine's Day, or just because. So, the next time you need a mood boost—or want to make someone smile—grab a flower!

Guest post by Jennifer Mann, is the co-author of The Secret Language of the Body, out now (£16.99), and co-founder of Somia International. Burnout is a serious issue that many professionals face today. With increasing workloads, constant connectivity, and the pressure to perform, it's easy to become overwhelmed and stressed. Left unchecked, stress can lead to burnout, a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that can severely impact your health and productivity. The good news is that there are simple exercises you can incorporate into your daily routine to help prevent burnout. These exercises focus on calming the nervous system, managing stress and anxiety, and promoting overall well-being. Here are five simple yet effective exercises to help you prevent burnout from stress at work. Prevent Burnout 1. Vagus Nerve Stimulation The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating the body's stress response. Stimulating the vagus nerve can help calm your nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation. One simple way to do this is through the Vagus Nerve Reset exercise. To perform this exercise, find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably. Place your right hand over your heart and your left hand on your belly. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, allowing your belly to rise as you inhale. Hold the breath for three seconds, then slowly exhale through your mouth, feeling your belly fall. Repeat this process for 3-5 minutes. As you breathe deeply and slowly, you activate the vagus nerve, which helps shift your body from the fight-or-flight response to a state of calm. Incorporating this exercise into your daily routine can be a powerful way to manage stress and prevent burnout. 2. 4-7-8 Breathing Technique Breathing exercises are a highly effective way to manage anxiety and emotions, especially in a high-stress work environment. The 4-7-8 breathing technique, developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, is one such exercise that can help you regain control over your emotions and reduce stress levels. To practice the 4-7-8 technique, sit in a comfortable position with your back straight. Close your eyes and exhale completely through your mouth, making a whooshing sound. Then, close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose for a count of four. Hold your breath for a count of seven. Finally, exhale completely through your mouth for a count of eight. Repeat this cycle four times. This technique works by slowing down your breathing, which in turn lowers your heart rate and calms your nervous system. It's particularly useful in moments of acute stress or anxiety, as it helps you refocus and center yourself, preventing the escalation of stressful emotions. 3. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a technique that involves tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups in your body. This exercise helps reduce physical tension, which is often a byproduct of stress and anxiety, and can contribute to burnout if left unaddressed. To perform PMR, start by sitting or lying down in a comfortable position. Begin with your toes - curl them tightly and hold the tension for five seconds, then release and focus on the sensation of relaxation. Gradually move up through your body, tensing and relaxing each muscle group: your calves, thighs, abdomen, chest, arms, hands, neck, and face. As you progress, pay attention to how your body feels after each release of tension. This exercise not only helps relieve physical stress but also encourages mindfulness, as you focus on each part of your body. Regular practice of PMR can help reduce overall stress levels, making it a valuable tool in preventing burnout. 4. Mindful Walking Incorporating physical movement into your daily routine is essential for stress management. Mindful walking is a simple yet effective exercise that combines movement with mindfulness, helping you regulate your nervous system and reduce stress. To practice mi...

Have you ever been stressed or tense? You are not alone. Daily stress increases in the lives of many individuals. But the good news is that in a moment of anxiety, one can exhale and immediately reconnect with a happier state. While it is indeed essential, breathing is much more than a basic human necessity – it can help slow down racing thoughts and even reduce stress. But first, let me explain what these methods are based on and how you can introduce them to your lifestyle without hassle. Why Breathing Techniques Work Breathing is one of the most effective techniques for easing stress levels. When you get stressed, the body copes by responding as if it is under attack, i.e., the fight or flight response, and therefore, your heart races and the muscles tense. Therefore, deep and controlled breathing decreases this by triggering the parasympathetic nervous system with messages of rest. Breathing in and out helps lower cortisol levels – a hormone associated with stress – in the human body. This makes you more relaxed and positively impacts your health by reducing your blood pressure and the rate at which your heart is beating. Breathing Techniques for Instant relaxation While we are sometimes stressed, these relaxation methods will be beneficial. Have a glance! 1. Diaphragmatic Breathing Also known as diaphragmatic breathing, this technique incorporates deep breath that expands the lungs and leads to contraction and expansion of the abdominal muscles. Here's how: ·         Relax in a comfortable position, preferably sitting or lying down. ·         Steady your feet, and bring two right-hand fingers to your upper left chest and the remaining fingers to your lower left abdomen. ·         Take a deep breath with your nostrils, and try to feel your belly button come outwards. ·         Now breathe out deeply, releasing the air through the mouth, and try to look at your falling abdomen. 2. 4-7-8 Breathing Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, this technique relaxes the nervous system: ·         Put as much air into your lungs as possible using your nose only for four seconds. ·         Please take a deep breath and hold it for 7 seconds. ·         Slowly breathe from your mouth for 8 seconds. Incorporate this cycle 4x, preferably before retiring to bed at night. 3. Box Breathing Used by Navy SEALs to stay calm under pressure: ·         Take a deep breath and breathe through your mouth for approximately four seconds. ·         Retain a break for the next four seconds going up to the count. ·         Exhale through the mouth for four second Repeating this for 5–10 minutes brings the person to a calm state. Ways that they can be Incorporated in Routine Activities Try incorporating these techniques into your daily routine through these simple strategies: Morning Routine: Take five minutes to practice diaphragmatic breathing to ensure a relaxing tone. Breaks at Work: Breathe in a box during break times if you are stressed or want to enhance your concentration. Evening Wind Down: Take a few minutes before bed to try the 4-7-8 breathing exercises to help a person fall asleep. By doing this, different breathing techniques can help minimize the effects of stress and improve the quality of life. As we have mentioned many times before, breathing is a unique weapon that you have; now, begin to breathe yourself into calmness. Seeking Support! Remember, seeking professional help is okay if you feel the techniques are not working or need more guidance. If you would like a more detailed explanation of breathing your way to relaxation, we recommend talking to Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth.

As part of our esteemed guest series. I'm excited to welcome a dear friend and an incredibly insightful psychiatrist, Dr. Omid Naim.Trained in the Western traditions, Dr. Naim has evolved to embrace a more holistic approach when it comes to mental health care. He advocates for the integration of spiritual and community-based methods, emphasizing the power of connection and shared human understanding.So what does a more holistic approach to psychiatry look like?How can addressing family trauma transform our mental health?Why is the sense of community so critical for this journey?Join us as we delve into these questions and more ...This episode is not just a dialogue; it's a journey towards understanding the deeper facets of mental well-being and how they affect us and our family's. Jennifer's Takeaways:Mental health disorders and their causes (03:35)Family dynamics and mental health (06:03)Parenting stress and self-care for moms (12:15)Men's emotional struggles and parenting (18:00)Setting boundaries (23:17)Gender roles (26:13)Personal growth (31:42)Self-awareness + community building (36:01)Differences between pleasure and happiness (41:24)Self-care, and toxic shame.(46:58)About Dr. Omid NaimI was born in Tehran, Iran, just before the Iranian Revolution in 1978. This early childhood experience of societal terror and chaos shaped my appreciation for how unresolved trauma and grief have lifelong effects on individuals, families, and the community. Through the lens of my own family and community I came to witness firsthand how unacknowledged trauma can be neglected as the root cause of mental illness and other chronic health conditions in our society. Although I didn't know it then, this would become the foundation of my professional life.After completing medical school at the University of Southern California and residency training in General Adult and Child Psychiatry at USC, I began working in community mental health with high risk youth. Even though I was a classically trained Western psychiatrist, I could see that there was a need for more holistic, spiritual, and community-based approaches to health due to the limitations of the medical model. Witnessing patients with the extensive histories of abuse and neglect becoming more and more medicated – while trauma was as a root cause was ignored, and their disabilities worsened – I knew the system needed to change. This fueled my passion to find new ways to approach how we care for people and led me to further my education in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona as a Bravewell Scholar under Dr. Andrew Weil.This time spent training in Integrative Medicine laid the foundation for creating a new model for mental health which evolved into the Hope Integrative Psychiatry Clinic. At Hope, we focused on empowering our clients to tap into their capacity to heal and recover naturally and elevating our deep needs for meaning, community, and belonging as the cornerstones for emotional well-being. This practice informed an entirely new integrative model for health and led to what would become La Maida Institute.With the help of my wife, Alexis, and the team of dedicated professionals who made La Maida Institute grow, we were able to continue our private practice and develop the ecological approach with the support of a new communal model. Things were coming together in a profound way and we began to see that what we were really talking about was a paradigm shift in how society views health and well-being and how, through the formation of La Maida Project, we could truly make a meaningful impact. And the story keeps getting better and better!Omid and Alexis are parents of two children. He enjoys exploring and adventuring with his family as well as connecting with others to uncover the deeper truths of life.Connect with Dr. Omid Naim:Website: https://lamaidaproject.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lamaidaproject/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lamaidaproject/Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

In this episode, we're broadcasting live from Toronto with Dr. Adeel Khan, a leading figure in the field of gene and cell therapies. Dr. Adeel Khan, who holds an M.D. and is a Canadian Board Certified Physician, specializes in regenerative and cellular medicine. He is also a recognized authority as a key opinion leader for The American College of Regenerative Medicine, the foremost advocate for best practices in North America. Notably, he co-founded Xalt, a fitness-technology company, and played a pivotal role in the development of their proprietary technologies. Additionally, he serves as the Chief Scientific Officer for Science & Humans, a virtual hormonal health company. Dr. Khan's expertise extends globally, as he has treated world champion athletes, members of Royal Families, and celebrities in both Dubai and North America.Personally, I'm thrilled to share that I've recently undergone gene therapy for the very first time in my life. This is a significant moment for me because I've been envisioning the potential of this technology in the context of longevity for the past two decades. In fact, I documented my beliefs about the ability to manipulate stem cells to reverse their aging process in my book, Superhuman. The gene therapy I received, which we'll delve into shortly, was administered via a simple injection. Over the next three to six months, it's expected to reduce my biological age, or intrinsic age, by an impressive seven to nine years—a monumental outcome from just one treatment.Throughout this episode, we'll explore various aspects of stem cell research, particularly the historical use of umbilical cells, which may hold some surprising revelations for you. We'll also discuss the challenges in translating cutting-edge medical research into practical clinical applications and the incredible potential of gene and cell therapy in addressing chronic pain, cancer, and other medical conditions. What's particularly exciting is Dr. Khan's multifaceted approach to biology, working on multiple fronts to harness its potential. This innovative approach offers a glimpse into a promising future, and I couldn't be more thrilled to dive into this conversation.(01:36) Exploring the Impact of Technological Advances & Gene Therapy in Regenerative Medicine• Pure Muscle: puremuscleandfitness.com• Unite Mind & Body to Achieve Health & Healing – Dr. Andrew Weil – #656• How technological advances have impacted the world of regenerative medicine• Learn more: daveasprey.com/genetherapy• Keeping up with the rapid development of medical science• What is plasmid gene therapy? • The history of gene therapy research and accepting the risk of innovation• The attitude towards innovation in other parts of the world• We Can Slow Down Aging Right Now – David Sinclair, Ph.D. – #626• How phellostatin relates to aging (20:42) Revolutionary & Innovative Approaches to Health & Longevity• Democratizing health for everyone with gene therapy • Benefits of intranasal insulin• How industry cross-pollination encourages lateral thinking • Read: Ego Is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday• Explaining the limitations of umbilical cord stem cells and how they're being optimized• Using gene editing technology to create specific stem cell lines • Using stem cell technology for hair and the reproductive system• The ability for breast enlargement with stem cells (42:47) Stem Cell & Gene Therapy Applications for Cancer & Chronic Pain• The opportunity for chronic disease healing with stem cell therapy• Using CAR T for cancer treatment • Target gene therapies to fix irregular pathways• Ways to improve mitochondrial efficiency• How bad actors could misuse this technology• The correlation between Tesla's story and gene cell therapy• Big Pharma and government's role in the suppression of revolutionary medical technology• Using this technology to build resilience in the body to combat modern stressors(01:10:08) Making Revolutionary Medical Advances More Accessible• The logistics of receiving gene cell therapy: how long they last and how they're given• Improving the immune system through a microbiome upgrade with FMT• The difference between probiotics and FMT• Stem cell and gene therapy treatments for cardiovascular disease• The regulatory fight for your right to have control of your own biology• The problem with institutionalized medical doctors• Treating chronic pain and recognizing the chronic pain burden ResourcesDave Asprey's NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder' is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Website: eterna.healthInstagram: @dr.akhanYouTube: Doctor AdeelThe Human Upgrade is produced by Crate Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
