When we think of sunlight, vitamin D is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But the truth is, the full spectrum of light that we get exposed to when we spend time outside plays a vital role in how we sleep, how we feel and even how our cells create energy.   This week's returning guest is Dr Roger Seheult, who believes that sunlight is one of the most accessible and underutilised tools we have for improving health – and the science he shares is compelling.   I'm delighted to welcome back to my Feel Better, Live More podcast for our third conversation.  Roger is a quadruple board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine. He is also an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside, and Assistant Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University.   Alongside his clinical practice, he co-founded MedCram, a medical education platform with over one million YouTube subscribers, widely used by hospitals and medical schools worldwide. Roger is also a sought after lecturer and has received multiple awards for his contributions to medicine and education. His passion lies in making complex medical science accessible, and he regularly lectures to schools, hospitals and media outlets.   In this conversation, we discuss: Why deficiency in sunlight can show up as fatigue, poor sleep, inflammation or even raised cholesterol. The three “macronutrients” of light – visible, ultraviolet and infrared – and how each plays a different role in mood, immunity and cellular energy. How infrared light penetrates deep into the body, supporting mitochondrial function and how it may help protect against diseases such as diabetes and dementia. Why spending 15–20 minutes a day outside – even in the shade – can be enough to recharge our cells. The growing evidence that sunlight exposure lowers the risk of all-cause mortality, cancer and heart disease. Practical strategies for getting the benefits of sunlight safely, even if you live in colder climates or spend much of your day indoors.   Roger also shares his “eight laws of health” – simple, timeless principles that include nutrition, rest, fresh air and sunlight – and explains how neglecting them leads to the chronic conditions he often sees in his work in intensive care.   This is a fascinating conversation that will change how you think about sunlight. It isn't just something that makes us feel good – it's a fundamental part of how our bodies stay healthy. And the best part? It's free and available to us all.   I hope you enjoy listening.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes. Try FREE for 7 days on Apple Podcasts https://apple.co/feelbetterlivemore.

Why do we want to hurt the people that hurt us?Over the years we have spoken about so many different aspects of relationships but today’s topic is one we have never fully unpacked before and it’s one of the most destructive forces in relationships: revenge. We don’t always call it that in romantic relationships, but when couples fall into patterns of "getting back at each other", keeping score, or holding long grievances, they’re often trapped in what’s called a “revenge loop;” one that science now shows is addictive and deeply damaging. Today’s guest is James Kimmel. James is a lawyer, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine and the author of The Science of Revenge. James has done a huge amount of research into how revenge quietly simmers inside all of us and how revenge triggers the brain’s reward system, much like a drug, and some of us might be revenge addicts without even knowing it. Today we chat: James wanting to get revenge on the teenage boys who killed his dog The neuroscience of revenge & how it can be addictive Could this ever be used as a ‘defence’ in court? Why we want the people who hurt us to hurt Justice v revenge How Hollywood has relied on revenge plot narratives How women and men experience empathy differently How forgiveness can rewire our brains You can find more from James Kimmel at his website You can get a copy of The Science of Revenge You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Our immune systems are under more pressure than ever—from processed diets, environmental toxins, stress, and fast-spreading infections—and the result is faster aging and greater vulnerability to disease. As we grow older, “zombie cells” spread inflammation throughout the body, weakening defenses and accelerating decline. But research shows we're not powerless: the emerging science of immuno-rejuvenation reveals that we can retrain and rebuild our immunity. Through the right foods, lifestyle habits, and even strategic stressors, the body has hidden pathways for repair and renewal—offering clues to how we might slow aging and unlock greater resilience. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Roger Seheult, how we can support the immune system by using food, lifestyle, and hormetic stress to reduce illness and restore resilience while slowing aging. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Roger Seheult is currently an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the School of Medicine and Allied Health at Loma Linda University. Dr. Seheult is quadruple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine. His current practice is in Banning, California where he is a critical care physician, pulmonologist, and sleep physician at Beaver Medical Group.  He was formerly the Director for Intensive Care Services at San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital.  He lectures routinely across the country at conferences and for medical, PA, and RT societies. Dr. Seheult is also the Co-founder of MedCram, an online medical education company that helps healthcare professionals and also lay people understand medical topics clearly.

Revenge is one of our oldest fantasies. It's sharp, seductive, but rarely as satisfying as it promises to be. This week, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) is joined by lawyer, author, and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, James Kimmel Jr. to overthink our obsession with revenge: why it feels so good in theory, why it rarely delivers in practice, and what it reveals about our deepest wounds and longings. Together, they explore how the brain processes revenge almost like an addictive substance - flooding us with momentary relief, then keeping us hooked in a cycle of suffering. From the neuroscience of vengeance to the quiet, radical possibility of letting go, this conversation opens up a gentler path through pain. A soft spiral into anger, control, and the sacred art of breaking the cycle.

Kurt is joined by Dr Jeffrey Wozniak; a clinical paediatric neuropsychologist at the University of Minnesota and Dr Blake Gimbel; also a paediatric neuropsychologist and Assistant Clinical Professor at Nationwide Children's Hospital and the Ohio State University. They discuss their recent research which includes using brain imaging techniques, using online cognitive assessment tools to aid in FASDdiagnosis, and examining the role of sleep disturbances in FASD. One promising intervention they have studied is choline supplementation, which has been shown to have small, but measurable benefits in improving memory and cognitive function in young children with FASD. Overall, the researchers emphasise the importance of hope and continued research to support those living with FASD and their families.For more information about FASD, please go to: https://www.nofasd.org.au/ Producers: Kurt Lewis and Julie FlanaganInterviewer: Kurt LewisInterviewees: Dr Jeffrey Wozniak and Dr Blake GimbelNarrator: Frances PriceThe copyright is owned by NOFASD Australia.All rights reserved - No reproduction or use of this content without written consent of Kurt Lewis and NOFASD Australia.

Eating Disorders: A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge, 2022) presents an accessible introduction to the conceptualization and treatment of eating disorders from a psychoanalytic perspective. Each of the chapters offers a different perspective on these difficult-to-treat conditions and taken together, illustrate the breadth and depth that psychoanalytic thinking can offer both seasoned clinicians as well as those just beginning to explore the field. Different aspects of how psychoanalytic theory and practice can engage with eating disorders are addressed, including mobilizing its nuanced developmental theories to illustrate the difficulties these patients have with putting feelings into words, the loathing that they feel towards their bodies, the disharmonies they experience in the link between body and mind, and even the ways that they engage with online Internet forums. This is an accessible read for clinicians at the start of their career and will also be a useful, novel take on the subject for experienced practitioners.

One day, Narcissus caught sight of his own reflection and thought, “Finally—someone who gets me.” Fast forward a few millennia, and Donald Trump, in a moment of mythological cosplay, gazed into the Capitol Reflecting Pool and saw not the dome of democracy, but the shimmering image of his own magnificence. And like his ancient counterpart, he was utterly transfixed.So in June 2025, to mark his 79th birthday—and presumably the anniversary of his divine self-recognition—he staged a taxpayer-funded spectacle featuring tanks, fighter jets, and enough red-white-and-bluster to make a banana republic blush. Price tag? $45 million. Purpose? Self-admiration. Subtext? “I am the state.”Today's guest is here to help us decode the psychological machinery behind this kind of political theater. Dr. Jocelyn Sze is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California, a trauma psychologist specializing in narcissistic abuse, and and a board member of Bay Area Trauma Recovery Clinical Services and the McCune Foundation which supports grassroots organizations that empower and mobilize excluded populations. Her work bridges the personal and the political—helping individuals heal from manipulation while exposing how those same tactics play out on the national stage.In her recent Huffington Post article, “I'm A Psychologist Who Specializes In Narcissists. Here's What We Need To Do To Stop Trump,” Dr. Sze draws on years of clinical experience to unpack the psychological tactics of authoritarian figures. She urges us to build what she calls psychological immunity—a kind of civic resilience against emotional chaos and gaslighting. Today, we'll explore how trauma-informed psychology can help us recognize, resist, and respond to narcissistic leadership—and why naming these patterns is essential to protecting democracy.Let's get clinical about the circus.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Felice Gersh, one of the foremost voices in functional medicine and women's health, to tackle one of the most misunderstood phases of life—menopause. Together, we unpack the real physiological changes women face during this transition, and the often-overlooked health risks that come with it. This isn't just about “hot flashes”—we're talking sleep disruption, cardiovascular risk, insulin resistance, and the metabolic shifts that can alter a woman's long-term health trajectory. Dr. Gersh pulls back the curtain on estradiol, reframing it as a life hormone—not simply a “sex hormone.” We explore why its decline affects nearly every system in the body, and how lifestyle strategies, functional medicine insights, and targeted interventions can help women not just survive menopause, but thrive through it. Whether you're in the midst of this change or helping patients navigate it, this conversation delivers the clarity, science, and hope you need to take control of health during this critical stage of life.Key Takeaways: Hormonal Shift: Menopause leads to a decline in estradiol produced by ovaries, affecting every organ system and increasing health condition risks, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Holistic Understanding: Dr. Gersh advocates for a comprehensive understanding of hormones in menopause, emphasizing the necessity of a proactive rather than reactive treatment approach. Testing and Diagnosis: She outlines important blood tests and diagnostic markers, such as day 3 FSH, thyroid function, inflammatory markers, and lipid profiles to better navigate menopause management. Lifestyle Interventions: Key lifestyle changes, including diet rich in plants, exercise, and stress management, are essential in promoting well-being during and beyond menopause. Functional Medicine Approach: Understanding the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the foundational role of lifestyle and hormonal therapy in women's health is crucial. More About Dr. Felice Gersh: Felice Gersh, M.D. is a multi-award winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine.

Is your pelvic floor holding you back — literally? This week on the Growing Older Living Younger podcast, Dr. Nicole Fleischmann joins Dr. Gillian Lockitch to shatter the myths surrounding women's pelvic health. Discover why “the second mouth” — your pelvic floor — is key to nervous system regulation, continence, and vitality as you age. Learn how pushing to pee could be damaging your body, why Kegels might not be the answer, and how a simple sniff can reconnect you with your core. This is a must-listen episode for every woman over 40 who wants to age with grace, strength, and confidence.  Dr. Nicole Fleischmann is a board-certified urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. She earned her MD from SUNY Downstate and completed her training in urology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, followed by a fellowship at NYU. With over 25 years of clinical experience, she currently directs the FPMRS program at White Plains Hospital Center and serves as Assistant Clinical Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Fleischmann is the author of The Second Mouth: One Woman's Journey to Decode a Hidden Language for a New Era of Women's Health. Her integrative approach blends science and somatic awareness, helping women reconnect mind and body for lifelong pelvic health.  Episode Timeline 0:00 – Introduction Dr. Gillian introduces the podcast theme of aging youthfully and welcomes Dr. Nicole Fleischmann to discuss pelvic health, aging, and the nervous system.  4:00 – Why Dr. Fleischmann Wrote The Second Mouth Nicole shares her motivation: translating intuitive understanding into a narrative that reframes pelvic floor function as neurological and energetic, not just mechanical.  6:30 – Urinary Issues and Aging Discussion of prevalence: incontinence affects up to 80% of women by age 80. Why pelvic floor dysfunction is universal yet misunderstood.  8:30 – What Is Embodied Awareness? Nicole defines “interoception” — tuning in to how your body feels from the inside — and why it's critical to aging well.  10:40 – What is the Second Mouth? How the pelvic floor functions like a jaw and why “opening” it via breath awareness is crucial to urination and defecation.  14:00 – Dysfunctional Urination Explained Dr. Fleischmann describes the three common (and harmful) ways women urinate and how proper breathwork can retrain this system.  17:30 – Childhood Origins of Dysfunction How toilet training ingrains habits of pushing, setting the stage for adult dysfunction — and what neurological milestones are missed.  21:30 – The Medical Establishment's Blind Spot Nicole explains why mainstream urogynecology hasn't caught up and why breathwork offers a path beyond surgery and drugs.  23:30 – Why Not Kegels? A passionate critique of Kegels and chest breathing — and how both disrupt pelvic harmony and nervous system regulation.  26:30 – The Sniff Technique Demonstration of a simple sniffing maneuver to engage the diaphragm and drop the pelvic floor — a key to functional urination and core stability.  29:00 – Unconscious Behaviors and Structural Damage Exploring how daily habits like pushing to urinate can lead to prolapse and why posture and breath matter more than strength.  33:00 – The One Habit to Build Today Dr. Fleischmann's no-nonsense advice: stop sucking in your belly. Let it out to free your diaphragm and align your body for healthy aging.  36:00 – Takeaway Message Breath is the key to nervous system regulation. Awareness can't be explained — it must be felt.  Learn more about Dr. Fleischmann's work thesecondmouthbook.com @drnicolefleischmann for TikTok, instagram,  LinkedIn  Action Steps: Download my EBook Guide: Guide to Building Back a Better Body   Schedule a  CALL with Dr. Gillian Lockitch.  Join the GOLY Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/growingolderlivingyounger

Send us a textDivorce hits men particularly hard, doubling their suicide risk while offering them fewer support resources than women typically receive. Dr. Eran Magen, Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale School of Medicine, draws from both professional expertise and personal experience to address this crisis through his work at DivorcingDads.org.The conversation explores why men struggle so profoundly after divorce - often isolating themselves rather than seeking support, feeling like failures, and facing challenging custody situations. Dr. Magen breaks down his comprehensive approach built on four essential pillars: navigating legal matters (especially custody arrangements), developing effective co-parenting strategies, strengthening practical parenting skills, and rebuilding a fulfilling personal life.We dive deep into the complexities of dating after divorce when children are involved. When should you start dating again? How do you introduce new partners to your children? What conversations should you have with kids of different ages?

When's the last time you really looked at your nails? Could they be revealing something more than just your latest manicure? What if they were giving you clues about your internal health? This week on Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes renowned dermatologist and nail health expert Dr. Dana Stern to uncover what your nails are trying to tell you. From decoding nail color and shape to the truth about nail polish, gel manicures, and whether nails need to "breathe"—this episode is packed with everything you need to know for healthy nails from the cuticle to the tip. Tune in to learn how your nails can serve as your body's early warning system—and what you can do to care for them, inside and out. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(05:43) Dr. Dana explains some of the underlying health conditions indicated by your nails(11:49) Breakthrough study on brittle nails(15:36) Discussion about gel manicures, nail polishes, and UV exposure (20:50) Do nails breathe, and cuticle care(22:52) What does the cuticle tell us about our nails(28:36) Giving your nails a break, and what about polish removers(33:11) What products and supplements will promote nail health, and what about biotin(42:44) Get a precision glass nail file for ultimate nail careKEY TAKEAWAYS:Nails can be indicators of underlying health conditions. Changes in the nails, such as unusual color or shape (like spoon-shaped nails indicating iron deficiency or white nails potentially signaling diabetes or heart issues), can be early signs of systemic diseases.  Observing nail health can provide valuable clues for early diagnosis and intervention.  Many standard nail enhancements, like gels, acrylics, and dips, can damage the nail plate and surrounding skin. In particular, the removal process of soak-off gels has been scientifically proven to thin and weaken the nail plate, making it more prone to brittleness and breakage. Potential risks are associated with UV lamps used in gel manicures. Switch to a precision glass nail file for smoother, healthier nail edges and reduced breakage. Nails don't breathe, but good blood flow is crucial for their health. Therefore, maintaining good peripheral circulation through cardiovascular activity or even hand massage is vital for healthy nail growth and preventing issues like brittleness and peeling, especially as we age and tend to have poorer circulation.The cuticle is a vital protective barrier for the nail and should not be removed. It acts as a natural seal, protecting the nail matrix (the nail's growth center) from water, moisture, and pathogens. Disrupting the cuticle can lead to nail abnormalities like patches, surface irregularities, bumps, and even separation. Liquid cuticle removers essentially destroy the cuticle, just like cutting it.  QUOTES:         (08:46) “If I see a white situation in someone's nails, I get general labs. I'm taking a thorough history and trying to uncover it. Something has been missed or something is brewing.” - Dr. Dana Stern(09:21) “We see this a lot with oral health too, that it's, you're seeing things before it manifests in the symptoms that everybody seems to be looking for.” - Jenn Trepeck(10:51) “If you have spec, a single pigmented band, meaning that one of your nails has this brown streak, that's something you want to see a board-certified dermatologist for, to examine.” - Dr. Dana Stern(18:47) “The take-home message is use protection because we know that UV radiation is definitively associated with skin cancer, UVA specifically in the case of the nail lights they use.” - Dr. Dana Stern(42:24) “I think at some point, a greater commitment to supplementation, a greater commitment to the quality of protein choices is really helpful and important.” - Jenn Trepeck(51:44) “The nails are the crystal ball to your internal health. So let's remove our polish for a minute or two or more. Take a look and choose quality nail care.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES:Dr. Dana Nails - WebsiteDr. Dana Nails -  Instagram Dr. Dana Nails - FacebookDr. Dana Nails - LinkedInDr. Dana Nails  - TikTokGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Dana Stern is the only board-certified dermatologist in the U.S. who devotes her entire practice to the diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of the nails.

How we navigate the new political environment the voters thrust upon on, and the new regime that seeks to tear up the very foundations of our liberal society, is a matter of ethics. And ethics is bigger than just political questions. It's about how you live, what you aspire to, and what makes for an admirable life, both inside and outside of politics.My guest today has written an important book about just that. Seth Zuihō Segall is a clinical psychologist who served for nearly three decades as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the Yale School of Medicine and is a former Director of Psychology at Waterbury Hospital and a former President of the New England Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. He is also a Zen Buddhist priest, and if you're a regular listener to ReImagining Liberty, you'll know how much I think Buddhist philosophy contains insights of great value in understanding our current moment.Segall's newest book is The House We Live In, which explores the crises imperiling American democracy and argues that progress depends on our arriving at a new consensus on what it means to be a good person and lead a good life and re-imagines an ethics suitable for our time.Discuss this episode with the host and your fellow listeners in the ReImagining Liberty Reddit community: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReImaginingLiberty/ If you enjoy ReImagining Liberty and want to listen to episodes free of ads and sponsorships, become a supporter.
