Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics for living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Digestive Enzymes, Gut Health, and Omega-3's with Guest Brenda Watson [0:00:00] Show Intro, National Club Foot Day & Prior Episode Reference Ed mentions National Club Foot Day (previous Wednesday). References a prior Vital Health Radio episode where he strongly criticized a local Chattanooga physician for poor club foot care that nearly harmed his grandson. Ed urges: Anyone with a child/grandchild with club foot seeing providers in Chattanooga listen to our Feb 15th (2026) episode Contact: NutritionWorld@comcast.net to get details of that show and the physician referenced. Emphasis on truth, empowerment, and avoiding harm from medical “inefficiency and ignorance.” [0:03:58] Delta-8 Gummies, Anxiety/Sleep & Lifespan Extension Concepts Recap of a recent show with Hemp House. Ed explains: Only about three weeks left to legally purchase Delta-8 gummies at Hemp House or Nutrition World. Why someone might use Delta-8: Anxiety Trouble sleeping Need to stay functional but calmer Must find the right dose individually (no standard dosing). Safer than many anti-anxiety drugs when used properly. He is saving several containers in his freezer for future “bumps in the road” (periods of poor sleep or high stress). Notes dogs may benefit for anxiety, thunder phobia, pain, etc., when used correctly and from a trusted company. Ed recommends Dr. David Sinclair's “Lifespan” podcast: Focus on practical drugs, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to extend lifespan. Central concept: cellular repair – if we repaired cells at 50 as well as at 20, lifespan could drastically increase. Key tools Dr. Sinclair highlights (as relayed by Ed): Rapamycin – Ed takes this drug himself; impacts mTOR; can extend lifespan even when started later in life. AMPK activators – sold at Nutrition World; support clearing out old/dysfunctional cells. Resveratrol – mimics some effects of fasting. Hyperbaric oxygen – discussed as a potential lifespan extender. Ed shares Sinclair's animal-longevity illustrations: A mole rat living ~20x longer than regular rats → proves there are mechanisms of extended lifespan. A long-lived whale (Clint jokes and riffs on the name) said to reach ~200 years, suggesting humans might mimic similar mechanisms. [0:08:46] Call for Listener Stories & Introduction of Guest Brenda Watson Ed invites listeners to share personal health recovery stories, especially involving “the Green Pharmacy” (natural, nutritional, and lifestyle approaches, including Nutrition World support). Announced collaboration with Clint Powell on a new podcast: Short, credible motivational/educational stories (5–20 minutes). Focus: “I was in bad shape, now I'm much better” recovery narratives. Participants receive a $50 Nutrition World gift card. Recordings at a studio ~5 minutes from Nutrition World. Introduction of guest Brenda Watson, founder of Vital Planet. Described as a guru of gut health and the microbiome: Leaky gut, SIBO, broad digestive health expertise. Ed recalls her long-running NPR fund-raiser specials on gut health that reached tens of thousands. [0:13:25] Digestive Enzymes, Gut Health & Problems with Acid Blockers Topic: What is an enzyme? Why does it matter? Brenda's explanation: Enzymes “break things apart”: Protease → breaks proteins into amino acids. Amylase → breaks starches into glucose. Lipase → breaks fats into fatty acids. Ideally, stomach, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder work together to digest food into absorbable units. Early digestive symptoms: Heartburn, gas, bloating, etc. Many people self-treat with OTC antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and this often worsens underlying issues. Her main point: For early digestive symptoms, start with a full-spectrum digestive enzyme (protease, amylase, lipase) with meals, not acid-blocking drugs. As we age, natural digestion weakens, compounded by poor food quality. If food is not properly digested: It rots in the gut → gas, overgrowth of “bad bugs”. Contributes to SIBO, leaky gut, and broader dysbiosis. Leads to poor absorption of nutrients and worsening health. Enzymes as Step One: Should be a first-line intervention alongside or even before probiotics. Emphasizes that digestive enzymes for digestion must be taken with meals. Brenda notes she ran a stool test program with 12 people; often saw imbalanced gut bacteria driven by undigested food. Modern enzyme formulations can be more targeted: Gluten-support enzymes. General high-potency formulas. Formulas for dairy and fat, especially for people on keto who need extra fat-digesting support. She reiterates: Poor digestion = bad bacteria, leaky gut, SIBO, multiple gut issues. Digestive enzymes are a “no-brainer” first step when digestive symptoms appear. [0:23:47] Enzymes as a Foundational Strategy & Aging, Pancreas/Bile Physiology Emphasizes: Rotting food analogy: leftover food in a trash can on a 97°F day = what undigested food can be like inside the gut. Even without symptoms, after age ~40–45, enzymes may be wise especially for people who: Overeat Eat a lot of dairy or gluten Notes loose stools and general poor health can be caused by lack of pancreatic enzymes. Shares a case where a client's stool test showed zero pancreatic enzyme production, correlating with constant sickness. You can “get away with” some other health issues, but you cannot have a dysfunctional digestive tract and still expect even average health. Brenda further explains physiology and pH: Stomach should be very acidic (pH ~2) during digestion. When partly digested food moves into the small intestine: Bicarbonate is released to neutralize acid. Pancreas releases enzymes (protease, amylase, lipase). Liver/gallbladder release bile for fat digestion near the same region. If stomach acid is suppressed, the chain reaction is disrupted: Poor enzyme activation. Poor bile function. pH shifts can foster candida and other imbalances (e.g., colon getting too alkaline). She underscores: From mouth to colon, each region needs appropriate pH. Chronic use of acid blockers has long-term downstream consequences. Ed mentions a simple at-home baking soda test to roughly gauge stomach acid (baking soda in water between meals, watching for burping). Important caution: If you're on acid-blocking medications, you must wean off slowly; do not stop abruptly. Nutrition World's pharmacist, Dr. Curt Dearing, helps people step down from PPIs and H2 blockers safely (in partnership with their physicians). [0:30:58] Omega-3s , Purity, and Heart/Brain Health Ed highlights Vital Omega (Vital Planet): #1 selling product at Nutrition World. Exceptional purity and transparency (heavy emphasis on contaminant-free sourcing). Very high potency (2350 mg of EPA/DHA per serving). No “fish burp” complaints and virtually no returns. Contains lipase enzyme to support fat digestion and further reduce digestive discomfort. Omega blood tests on customers show high omega-3 levels when using this brand. Brenda agrees: Omega-3s are critical at any age, especially in today's toxic environment. You might skip a multivitamin, but you should not skip omega-3s. Ed's additional points: Olive oil and flax oil are not the same as concentrated EPA/DHA. EPA/DHA are essential for cell membranes, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. Warns of contaminated fish oil from polluted waters (mercury, heavy metals, etc.). Website plug for Vital Planet: VitalPlanet.com for education, and product details. Ed reiterates his respect for Brenda's decades of ethical, passionate work and says they'll have her back on again. [0:38:54] Lifestyle, Local Food, Pillows, and Environmental Toxins Ed and Clint return; Ed summarizes the show's philosophy: Better aging is about strength, clarity, mobility, energy, not just added years. Introduces term “peak span”, maximizing the years we're at peak function, not just lifespan. Critiques normalization of poor health (hunched posture, chronic pain, poor sleep, anxiety) as “just getting old.” Local food talk: Discussion of Tallow House in Cleveland (burger restaurant, cousin of Tony from Portofino). Two-hour waits, excellent reviews, smash burgers, buns from Neidlovs bakery. Dust mites and pillows: Ed cites data that about 1/3 of a pillow can be dead skin + dust mites over time. Many pillows also contain fire retardant chemicals leading to chronic exposure while sleeping. Ed searched for non-toxic pillows via Mamavation: A site that tests products for chemical residues and rates them. His previous pillow (from Avocado) came out top-rated, so he bought a new Avocado pillow. Recommends buying via Mammovation's affiliate link for a small discount. [0:44:00] Essential Oils, Green Pharmacy & Polypharmacy Ed on essential oils quality: A test of 20 lavender oils from Amazon found: Only 3 were pure. 17 were diluted/contaminated with other oils. Smell alone isn't a reliable indicator of quality. Nutrition World only carries brands with Certificates of Analysis; dropped an entire line a few years back over quality concerns. Ed shares a Taiwanese blood pressure study: 58 adults with high blood pressure, many on meds. wore a face mask with a cotton pad containing small amounts of real lavender oil for 15 minutes/day over 7 days. Result: systolic blood pressure reduced by ~10 points. A placebo (fake) oil did not reduce blood pressure. One-day use showed no benefit – consistent use was required. He frames this as an example of the “Green Pharmacy”: Mentions Dr. Curt Dearing (pharmacist at Nutrition World): Helps people review and rationalize medication lists, with the goal of reducing polypharmacy in collaboration with prescribing doctors. References a recent Vital Health Radio episode on polypharmacy (average American takes ~17 prescriptions per year). [0:56:48] Meditation, Mindset, Ancient Wisdom & Fulfillment Story from the Daily Stoic: Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller at a billionaire's party: Vonnegut points out the host made more money yesterday than Heller's Catch-22 ever did. Heller replies he has something the billionaire never will: “the knowledge that I've got enough.” Ed uses this to emphasize: The power of knowing you have enough. Shifting from chasing money to working for fulfillment once basics are covered. Clint adds: You must learn to be content with what you have while still pursuing goals. More stuff doesn't automatically create a content person. Ed reads a longer reflection on “ancient wisdom” vs. modern medicine: Fundamental philosophy: alignment with nature. Humans thrived for millennia without pharmaceuticals (acknowledges infectious disease issues before hygiene and antibiotics). Nearly every drug has unintended consequences and rarely treats root causes. Cites estimate: medical errors as the 3rd leading cause of death in the US (~250,000 deaths/year). Notes ~90% of American calories now come from processed foods and seed oils Argues seed oils are among the most destructive components of the modern diet. Many cardiologists still recommend them as heart-healthy, highlighting the conflict between mainstream and holistic views. Plug for Ed's book: “Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired” available at TheHolisticNavigator.com, built around ancient wisdom.

Drop us a line or two . . .This episode opens the way the best ones do — mid-ramble, mid-life, totally unrushed. Queenie and TT kick things off with a digression about estate sales and thrift shops, specifically the unsettling realization that the stuff of their childhoods is now being tagged and priced at church basements across America. Harvest gold Tupperware. Avocado canisters. Country geese with blue bows around their necks. Roosters. Wallpaper you could strip with a steam iron and seventeen years of your life. They're not mourning exactly — more like doing that thing where you laugh because the alternative is sitting with the actual weight of time passing, and who has the energy for that.Queenie is riding a sativa-leaning hybrid from Ghost (a brand she's clearly developing brand loyalty to), and TT is working through a hummy gummy situation. Both are in decent spirits. TT has also been gifted, by her son and his partner, a book called *420 Things You Can Draw While High*, which has become a legitimate source of joy — she drew a Girl Scout brownie in a crystal sundae dish, which is genuinely perfect, and a spliff rocket, because she knows how to make a spliff and wanted to put that knowledge to use. Queenie suggests she share her drawings on the pod. We are on board with this.From there, the news portion arrives, and it's a bummer, as news tends to be. TT brings up a Louisiana bill signed by the governor that tacks on up to a year in jail and a thousand-dollar fine for anyone caught smoking, vaping, or consuming cannabis within two thousand feet of a school — which, given how schools are distributed across a populated state, essentially means a significant chunk of private homes qualify. Dorms too. Both women note the particular absurdity of layering additional criminal penalties onto something that's already illegal in Louisiana, seemingly in service of a "drug-free school zone" philosophy that has historically functioned less as child protection and more as an excuse to put people back in jail. Queenie points out that New York allows cannabis consumption anywhere cigarettes are permitted, and both agree that the Louisiana approach has a lot more to do with politics and performative toughness than any genuine public safety interest.This slides, as it reliably does on this pod, into broader political territory. E. Jean Carroll comes up — TT and Queenie both clearly appalled by what they're watching unfold with the retaliatory lawsuit behavior. Then: the Kennedy Center, the gilded bronze horses on the Arlington bridge (twenty-two-point-four carat gold, paid for by taxpayers, which Queenie cannot get over), the reflecting pool, the UFC fighting ring being erected on federal grounds, the music festival that now apparently features Kid Rock and a lot of empty slots. Queenie delivers what may be the episode's thesis: "There is no bottom for this guy. There is no bottom." They eventually, consciously, make themselves stop. There is a lot they could say. They choose not to spend all their energy there.Then comes TT's Choice, the either/or/what-if game. TT pulls number 33: *What if you could unmeet one person from your life? No hard feelings, they just never happened.* TT goes first and doesn't hesitate long — she wants to unmeet Lou, a man who entered her family's life as a business partner for her husband and proceeded to steal the company out from under him. She's still carrying rancor about it. She admits she was charmed by him at the initial meeting — charismatic, smooth talker — and believes she might have talked her husband out of the deal if she'd never met the man. Queenie nominates a former daughter-in-law, and the word she uses is "unredeeming," meaning the person brought nothing — nothing — into the lives of anyone around her. Whole family affected. She doesn't need much time to arrive at this answer either.What's interesting is where the conversation goes after the nominations: both women start circling the idea that holding onto this kind of bitterness is, functionally, still letting those people win. Queenie quotes her mother — "he who angers you controls you" — and means it. They land somewhere honest: it's hard to let go, but anger takes energy, and energy is finite and worth protecting. TT resolves to do a little ceremony. Burn something in effigy. Smudge it out. They've both mostly let it go, mostly. The "mostly" is doing a lot of work there, and they know it, and that's okay.The Fuck It List lands on high heels, and it's a full prosecution. TT wore chunky heels to an outdoor ceremony recently — had to dig them out from the top of the closet, climb a stool to reach them — and spent the day tottering around paying for it. Her new Skechers have elastic laces and she is evangelical about them. Queenie surrendered heels years ago on account of her feet and has not looked back. Together they trace the whole origin of the heel as a beauty construct: it's about making women's legs look longer, which is about appealing to the male gaze, which connects to makeup, to plastic surgery, to everything related to looking "good"!

Part 2 of our interview with the Finnish artist and writer Jaakko Pallasvuo, author most recently of Amber (Rrose Editions, 2026) and Mouthing the Words (Khaos, 2025) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After a massive tour in 2006, Pearl Jam's 2007 was a lot less chaotic than the 79-show tour that spanned three continents. They went back to Europe for 12 shows, half of them being festivals in places they've barely visited, and then two memorable shows in Chicago - Vic Theatre and Lollapalooza. This episode covers the Munich show from this run, one of their few arena headlining gigs from the tour. It was their first to back since 1992, a memorable night where they performed the Ten album in full. After heavily supporting the Avocado record the year prior, this show specifically doesn't feature the same plethora of songs from the album. When supporting the record, they'd begin most of their shows with some kind of combination of World Wide Suicide, Life Wasted, Severed Hand and Marker In The Sand with around a total of eight songs from the record played, but in Munich they significantly reduced that album's representation opting for only three songs. However, Severed Hand is a major highlight from this show, and Unemployable will take us to a conversation where we connect it to a random 70's song that has nothing to do with Pearl Jam. Other highlights include the return of Sometimes after a long absence, a killer version of Sad, Matt Cameron's patented Even Flow solo for the era and how some of the gear Mike was using impacted songs like Given To Fly and Present Tense. We'll also share the story of Ed's #5 guitar, how it relates back to Pete Townshend, and how it further relates to both Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher in a wild tale that all gear and music nerds will enjoy.

El famoso youtuber Nikocado Avocado se acabó destruyendo a sí mismo para convertirse en uno de los canales más grandes de internet. Y lo acabó consiguiendo, pero a qué precio… Lo que empezó siendo un canal donde compartía su estilo de vida vegano, acabó convirtiéndose en su perdición. Llegó a pesar 186 kg por subir vídeos de comida basura pero la peor parte se la llevó su salud física, sino la mental. En 2024 desapareció durante 7 meses y sus seguidores temieron lo peor porque en sus últimos vídeos el estado de salud de Nicholas era tan preocupante que dejar de dar señales de un momento para otro no significaba nada bueno. Pero su reaparición escandalizó a todo internet: había vuelto mucho más delgado y con un discurso que dejó a todos sus seguidores y a los que no lo eran, completamente helados… Dijo que todo fue un experimento pero ¿a qué se refería exactamente?

In the most recent ISS Expo I attended, once again I saw that Millennials have become 20% plus of self-storage customers, up from about 16% a year ago. I remember some of the stereotypes many had a few years ago about the millennial generation: • Avocado toast and $7 lattes. • Lazy and entitled. • Failure to launch. Now, given that they are becoming an increasingly larger percentage of our customer base, I decided to do my own research. Let me share with you what I found out. It may truly surprise you. **Self-Storage Turnaround Playbook** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-476-four-steps-i-use-to-revive-a-self-storage-facility-non-fb/ **Startup Checklist** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-475-self-storage-startup-checklist-4-steps-owners-miss/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **The 4 Critical Metrics Download** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-474-4-critical-metrics/ **Five Mistakes PDF* https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-473-5-mistakes-new-owners-make-in-self-storage/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **Online Courses at The Quickstart Academy** https://TheQuickStartAcademy.com/ **Listen on Apple Podcasts** **5 KPIs we measure** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/top-5-kpi-ebook/ **My blog** Creating Wealth Through Self Storage **Facebook** https://www.facebook.com/markhelmselfstorage/ **Twitter** Tweets by MarkHelmSelfSt **The Storage World Analyzer** http://storageworldanalyzer.com/ **The QuickStart Academy Store** https://quick-start-academy.myshopify.com

2006 was a massive tour year for Pearl Jam. With their Self Titled, or Avocado, record released, they set forth to travel the world on four big legs. Two legs of North America, a European and Australian leg took from May until early December to finish up. They starting doing more media again, they started doing festivals for the first time in six years, and the setlists were unforgettable. This episode looks into their Auburn Hills show from the May leg. Sonically, this is considered one of the band's best tour runs. We'll spend time talking about how the big powerful guitar sounds from the record made an impact when transitioned live. Catch us talking about the original Severed Hand intro, Marker In The Sand aging gracefully, the background of Army Reserve and the double neck guitar usage on Inside Job as we breakdown all of the Avocado songs in their prime. Not only that, but we'll dig deep into depths of conversation stemming from the 2006 rendition of Garden and how that song's evolution is similar to human growth. If you ever wanted to know what kind of humans Pearl Jam songs would be if Gepetto turned them real, this is probably the episode for you... but also probably not!

The Nutrition Diva's Quick and Dirty Tips for Eating Well and Feeling Fabulous
860. Are you throwing away the most nutritious parts of your groceries? From blending avocado pits into smoothies to snacking on peanut shells, social media is full of "zero-waste" food hacks—but are they actually safe?This week, Monica digs into the compost bin to separate the "hidden treasures" from the literal trash. We go over which veggie scraps are nutritional powerhouses (hello, beet greens!) and which ones—like rhubarb leaves and apple seeds—could actually be toxic.

Meta released Muse Spark, previously named Avocado, on Wednesday, the much-anticipated—and delayed—first large language mode under AI chief Alexandr Wang, sending Meta shares soaring as the company seeks to catch up to industry AI giants OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. KEY FACTS The AI model is available on Meta's AI website and its app, with the company claiming it can carry out the same actions as its previous model, Llama 4 Maverick, with less computing power. Muse Spark is Meta's first AI model under Wang, a billionaire tech entrepreneur who Meta brought on as its chief AI officer after investing $14.3 billion into his company, Scale AI. Meta shares jumped as high as 9% on Wednesday following the announcement, erasing a string of losses recorded in late March. The release of Muse Spark comes after a delay reportedly caused after the AI model failed to outperform rival models developed by Google, OpenAI and Anthropic in benchmark tests. A comparison table in Meta's announcement claims Muse Spark can compete with or outperform rival AI models in various benchmarks. BIG NUMBER $135 billion. That is how much money Meta expects to spend on AI this year, nearly double what it spent in 2025. FORBES VALUATION We estimate Wang's net worth at $3.2 billion. The entrepreneur was the world's youngest self-made billionaire until October 2025, when Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan took over the title. TANGENT Meta is in the thick of litigation accusing it of designing addictive apps harmful to children and was recently ordered to pay $375 million in damages after a New Mexico jury ruled that the company enabled child exploitation on its platforms. A California jury also found Meta liable in a landmark social media addiction case, forcing the company to pay $3 million in damages to a woman who accused it of intentionally designing its apps to be addictive to children.

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Kelly and Leigh share their best skincare, makeup, hair, and body recommendations, including the $10 "kiddie" detangler Leigh’s hairdresser swears by, the "700 billion" star-rated eye cream Kelly found on Amazon, and a new Aussie-made "everything" spray that might just be the cleverest product we've seen all year.

The Book of Love vs The Dud Avocado: Fantasy, Paris & Book Club VerdictsIn this episode of The Book Club Review, we return to our book club roots with two wildly different novels: The Book of Love by Kelly Link and The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy.The Book of Love is the first novel from acclaimed American short story virtuoso and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kelly Link. In a seemingly ordinary coastal town three teenagers become pawns in a supernatural power struggle. Vulture magazine named it ‘the escapist masterpiece of the year' but what did Laura's book club think?Our second book-club pick is Elaine Dundy's The Dud Avocado – a fizzing, exuberant novel from 1958 about a young American woman let loose in Paris, determined to live life on her own terms. It gained instant cult status on first publication and remains a timeless portrait of a woman hellbent on living, a book that feels bracingly modern despite being nearly seventy years old.

The Ozempic weight loss drug promises rapid weight loss, but at what cost? In this video, find out why I would never take Ozempic, the Ozempic dangers they never tell you about, and the semaglutide side effects that will make you think twice about taking Ozempic. Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: Ozempic explained0:39 Ozempic muscle loss2:15 Natural GLP-1 system2:39 GLP-1 drug side effects4:30 How to avoid Ozempic dangers 10:27 Ozempic truth and the problem with modern medicine11:35 What to do instead of OzempicWhen you lose 50 pounds on Ozempic, you haven't only lost fat; you've also lost muscle. Research has shown that most people gain two-thirds of their weight back within a year of quitting Ozempic. This new weight gain is nearly all fat!Ozempic hijacks a system that already occurs naturally in your body. There are specialized cells in the digestive system called L-cells that increase GLP-1 when stimulated. GLP-1 tells the brain it's no longer hungry, releases insulin, and slows digestion. For many people, the natural GLP-1 system is broken. To activate this system without the use of Ozempic, you'll need to naturally trigger the L-cells and activate GLP-1. This won't work as powerfully as Ozempic, but it can create a significant effect. To do this, consume the following:• Short-chain fatty acids • Apple cider vinegar• Fermented foods • Fiber with each meal• Omega-3 fats • Olive oil• Avocado oil • Amino acids • Bile salts (TUDCA)There are specific types of fiber that help support this process, including inulin found in garlic and onions, leeks, asparagus, artichokes, flax seeds, chia seeds, and avocados. Try replacing salad with sauerkraut to activate GLP-1. Modern medicine does not address root causes, but rather addresses symptoms that occur later in the chain of events. This holds true for Ozempic. Instead of taking Ozempic, try the following:1. Protein and fiber 2. Eliminate starches and sugar from your diet3. Walk after meals4. Consume 1-2 meals per day, no snacking5. Weight trainingDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

I have so many friends struggling with infertility or getting different fertility information from their doctors—”freeze your eggs, don't freeze your eggs, it's okay that you don't get your period, it's a warning sign”.

So today, I'm fortunate to have on Dr. Natalie Crawford, a world renowned fertility doctor, a double board certified OBGYN, and author of The Fertility Formula, to clear things up.

Pretty much everything feels intense right now—the world, our jobs, finances. I always say that action is the antidote to anxiety, but you can't take action if you're wildly overwhelmed. Today, we're gonna talk about ways to hit the restart button, to clear the screen, and to get a real fresh start. This isn't gonna be positive platitudes and bullshit. This is all grounded in the real world, it's all free, it's all backed by science, and it's all gonna make you feel better instantly—without asking you to ignore what's actually going on or gas light yourself.
Have you ever wondered if you're burnt out or if this is just the price of participation in the modern economic climate? And what if you can't change jobs? Is it possible to make your job more purposeful and satisfying, even if you're trapped in it? I chat with Amina AlTai, the author of The Ambition Trap and an executive coach who's helped thousands of women optimize their work lives. She answers all of these questions and gets into why you're burnt out and exactly what you can do about it, no matter your situation—if you're stuck in a job you hate, if you're looking for a new job, if you love your job but it's exhausting you—you'll end this episode with pragmatic steps to feel better ASAP.
A lot of us know the physical and mental benefits of sex, and yet so many of us are not having the amazing sex we want. So I wanted to know—why don't we crave sex even though we like it? And how can anyone, no matter how exhausted they are, or no matter how long they've been with their partner, regularly have the best sex? I chat with Dr. Nicole McNichols, an internationally renowned human sexuality professor, whose course is the most popular in the history of the University of Washington, and she shares answers to all of my questions, plus gives genius solutions to all of your sex problems. She also tells us, surprisingly, where the male G-spot is (it's probably not where you think it is).

This episode is a radical reframe of what a good life actually is, and how we can all get there. If you feel stuck, it's gonna unstick you. If you're struggling with problems that feel insurmountable, this episode will offer solutions you haven't heard anywhere else. I'm talking with Stanford professors Dave Evans and Bill Burnett. Their books have sold millions of copies around the world. They've helped us design our lives, design our work, and now they're back to teach us how to infuse our lives with meaning, purpose and flow. We get into all of their expertise, from the workplace to relationships to how to get the most of your one human life in this episode. It's practical and deeply philosophical. It made me cry both recording it and then again looking back on the edit.
