How important are relationships and the feeling of being loved to human happiness? How have the fields of happiness studies and relationship studies converged? Sonja Lyubomirsky is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside. She is also the author or co-author of the books How to Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More of What Matters Most, The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want, and The Myths of Happiness: What Should Make You Happy, but Doesn't, What Shouldn't Make You Happy, but Does. Greg and Sonja discuss her shift from happiness research to her co-authored book with Harry Reis, How to Feel Loved. Sonja explains that many happiness interventions (gratitude letters, kindness practices, and variations like texting gratitude vs. social media posting vs. private writing) work largely because they increase feelings of love and connection They also discuss why listening is difficult, with Sonja sharing her experience in a Tel Aviv listening workshop, and the need for compassion and a growth mindset. Other themes include the Michelangelo effect (helping others become who they aspire to be), balancing sharing and listening (avoiding monologues or interrogations), appropriate vulnerability and gradual self-disclosure, and the “multiplicity” mindset of seeing people as complex quilts of good and bad traits to reduce harsh judgment. The episode also considers whether people can feel loved without being loved, including AI companions that can mimic excellent listening but lack a genuine open heart, and the risk that some people may substitute simulated relationships for real ones. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: What's the distinction between being loved and feeling loved? 07:42: A lot of us are loved, but we do not feel loved. So we might have, we might know that our partner loves us or child, or a family member or friend or colleague. But we do not really feel loved. And when you think about it, feeling loved is what really matters even more, right? Because if, you know, if you love me, but I do not feel loved by you, it is almost like you do not love me, right? Like, because I am not really sensing that, and so feeling loved is really important. That is what really matters to happiness. The key to feeling loved is really to be known and to know the other 10:16: The key to feeling loved is really to be known and to know the other, and we get known by taking the wall down a little bit. And I get to know you if I help you take your wall down. How do I help you take your wall down? By showing curiosity. Then hopefully you will start to open up a little bit. I show even more curiosity. I ask you questions and I l truly listen, not really just try to fix it or help you or tell my own story. I just listen to learn. The first step to feel more loved 09:11: If I want to feel more loved, the first step, which may sound counterintuitive, is to help the other person feel loved first. You go first. I go first. The first step is to show genuine curiosity in the other person, in their inner life and the details of their day, their dreams, goals, values, fears. We all want that. We want to be seen, we want to be heard, and we do not get genuine curiosity very often. When was the last time you remember telling a story about yourself and the other person was so curious they could not wait for you to finish the sentence? It is rare. When it happens, it is priceless. That is such a gift to someone, to show authentic curiosity in them. It has to be authentic because you cannot fake it. That is the first step. You help the person be seen by showing curiosity in them, and that helps them open up more. Real connection requires both listening and sharing 18:48: If you only share, it is a monologue. You are spouting off. If you only listen, then it is an interview. It is an interrogation sometimes. You really need to do both. They go together. That is where the emotional intelligence comes in. Because when you are sharing, the entire time you are sharing, and we all know people who do not do this, they go off and they seem to not see any cues that the other person is not interested in continuing the story.

Stefanie Garcia Turner of Tuyyo, Jocelyn Ramirez of Todo Verde, and Regina Trillo of Nemi share how they met, why they decided to merge their businesses and brands, and what their vision is for the new brand, unified under Tuyyo. The three woman-and-minoroty-owned brands share a mission of amplifying their Latin-American food culture through authentic and innovative latin foods, representation food culture, and community impact . Learn how this strategic merger will allows each leader to lean into their strengths, and how collaboration aligned on shared values can accelerate growth in the challenger food brand space.Takeaways:The origins and individual missions of Jocelyn of Todo Verde, Regina of Nemi Snacks, and Stephanie of Tuyyo FoodsThe strategic process behind their merger—personality tests, role division, and cultural alignmentHow they'll leverage their merger to reduce costs, expand categories, and innovate fasterTransition strategies for branding, retail placement, and consumer education across their unified brand Tuyyo FoodsSupply chain synergies and efforts to lower COGS by 35% or more through manufacturing and sourcing efficienciesThe broader vision: promoting Latin American flavors regionally and globally while supporting farmers and sustainabilityChallenges faced—costs of rebranding, education hurdles around regional products, and maintaining brand integrityThe importance of shared values, culture fit, and a growth mindset for successful mergersRecommendations for founders considering collaboration and merger as a growth pathwayBook and resource recommendations around exponential thinking, sensory storytelling, and personal spiritualityThoughts on building a healthier food system rooted in equity, community, and transparent ingredient sourcingSound Bites:“We can create something that is even bigger, that is even more impactful, that really is going to make a dent in the food industry.” (Stefanie)“We went from, I'm holding this, this is my baby, to really egoless, like this isn't about me, this is about a brand.” (Jocelyn)“We all knew each other relatively well before the merger. Stephanie is better at this than I am, Regina is better at this than I am, you know, so there was already a sense of like, if we came together, we could split the work in that way.” (Jocelyn)“We are planning on bringing everything under the one Tuyyo brand.” (Stefanie)“We're moving towards standardizing our supply chain operations. It's been a constant conversation and communication with suppliers, both in the US and in Mexico to see what's going to be the best way to do it.“ (Regina)“As of right now, [cost of goods optimization has] been at least 35%, which is it's been a big amount. And based on some information that we have, it's probably going to be higher than that.” (Regina)“I think that it's really gonna be about putting our community first and building a brand that not only can we be proud of, but that is a reflection of our heritage.” (Stefanie)“It took me six years to figure out that I didn't want to continue doing it alone.” (Regina)“[A better world is one] with more representation of the reality of how the community and how that should be represented on shelf as well. Ideally with products that are actually better for us, that are made with real ingredients, that are also supporting the farmers that are producing those ingredients.” (Regina)“[A better world is one with] a food system that is actually catered to the betterment of people in their everyday lives. It would just solve so many issues. And with all of the problems that we have between preventable diseases and healthcare systems that don't work for the people, it goes beyond justice for the farmer, but justice for everybody in the food chain.” (Stefanie)“I think that that in an ideal world there are policies put in place that are protecting people [by regulating] what is allowed and what isn't allowed in our food system. And products, especially those we give to children, that allow us to really reshape our palates and create shortcuts for cooking without taking the cooking part away because that's an basic survival life skill that most people should have and it empowers people to like know what's in their food, and how to nourish their families.” (Jocelyn)Links:Stefanie Garcia Turner on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanie-garcia-turner/Jocelyn Ramirez on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jocelyncramirez77/Regina Trillo on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/regina-trillo-a5055711/Tuyyo - https://tuyyofoods.com/Tuyyo on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tuyyofoods/Tuyyo on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tuyyofoods/Tuyyo on Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/tuyyofoods/Tuyyo on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@tuyyofoodsTuyyo on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4b_-VIdL7Yl7UQb91y5Vow…Tuyyo Wefunder - Coming soon……Todo Verde (website will go away soon) - https://todoverde.org/Nemi (website will go away soon) - https://neminative.com/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioTimestamps: 0:00 - Introduction of guests and their brands2:11 - The idea of merging to amplify Latin American food culture3:14 - The role of Jocelyn as a connector4:14 - Initial conversations and alignment of goals5:09 - Personality tests and understanding team dynamics6:18 - Personal insights and alignment of values7:19 - Confirmation of shared vision and responsibilities8:36 - Expanding vision and impact9:23 - Egoless collaboration and shared goals10:16 - Overcoming personal challenges in the merger process11:33 - Open communication and external support12:47 - Technical adjustments during recording13:00 - Introduction and alignment of values and vision13:29 - Discussion on dividing responsibilities among the founders13:49 - Initial retreat and mission alignment14:19 - Specific roles and responsibilities based on skills15:16 - Transitioning responsibilities before the merger15:57 - The natural fit of the founders' skills16:18 - Pre-existing relationships and collaboration17:27 - Importance of enjoying the process and having fun19:20 - Branding and unifying product lines under Tuyo Foods20:11 - Transition phase and retail placement21:11 - Marketing strategies and community engagement22:34 - Plans for easing the transition on retail shelves23:28 - Supply chain synergies and manufacturing efficiencies25:12 - Cost reduction strategies and shared resources26:54 - New shared vision and broader goals27:39 - Community focus and brand representation29:28 - Expanding Latin American food representation31:01 - Becoming a go-to platform for Latin foods33:07 - Benefits and opportunities unlocked by the merger36:30 - Challenges and unresolved issues37:37 - Fundraising and rebranding costs38:20 - Advice for other founders considering mergers41:58 - Future of the industry and collaboration45:26 - Fun questions about favorite Latin American foods53:51 - Book recommendations and personal insights60:10 - Influential voices and brands to watch65:17 - Vision of a more representative, equitable, and sustainable food system71:13 - Upcoming plans and ways to connect with Tuyo FoodsFor more insights on food innovation, community building, and scaling purpose-driven brands, subscribe and stay tuned for future episodes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushWhat if the biggest predictor of dementia isn't your genes — but your metabolic health?In this episode, neuroscientist and performance coach Dr. Tommy Wood reveals why blood sugar regulation and blood pressure are more powerful predictors of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline than amyloid plaques or even genetics like ApoE4.For decades, Alzheimer's has been framed as either a genetic lottery or the inevitable buildup of amyloid in the brain. But emerging research shows that metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and vascular health may play a far greater role in determining long-term brain outcomes.Instead of focusing on fear, this conversation delivers a practical blueprint for building cognitive reserve and “cognitive headroom” — the brain's ability to stay resilient, adaptable, and high-performing as you age.You'll learn why crossword puzzles aren't enough, how high-intensity exercise and resistance training stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), why lactate may act like “Miracle-Gro” for your neurons, and how to interpret early warning signs like subjective brain fog.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Alzheimer's isn't just about amyloid plaquesThe powerful link between blood sugar and cognitive declineHow genetics (like ApoE4) increase risk — but don't seal your fateWhat “cognitive headroom” means and how to build itWhy high-intensity exercise may act as Miracle-Gro for the brainThe surprising role of resistance training in brain healthWhat subjective brain fog might be telling youHow menopause affects cognition — and what's reversibleWhy boredom and focus matter more than we thinkThe kinds of skills you should keep practicing as you ageFor women navigating perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Wood explains what cognitive changes are hormonally driven, what's reversible, and how to protect long-term brain health.Whether your goal is preventing Alzheimer's disease, improving focus and processing speed, or becoming a cognitive “superager,” this episode provides evidence-based strategies to help you build a brain that is robust, metabolically healthy, and built to last.Key Highlights: (00:00) – Brain Health & Cognitive Longevity Intro(00:35) – Brain Evolution & Survival Mechanisms(02:53) – Diabetes & Alzheimer's Disease Link(07:31) – Genetic Risk & Dementia Family History(11:32) – Expanding Brain Capacity & Headroom(15:08) – Cognitive Reserve & Brain Resilience(19:55) – Preventing Age-Related Cognitive Decline(23:00) – Exercise Data for Brain Health(26:16) – Best Exercises for Cognitive Function(35:11) – Amyloid Plaques & Alzheimer's Pathology(38:00) – Amyloid-Targeting Drugs & Treatments(40:31) – Subjective Cognitive Decline Measures(45:04) – Testing & Measuring Brain Performance(49:58) – Menopause & Female Brain Health(56:10) – Aging Brain, Wisdom & Intelligence(1:05:00) – Cognitive Processing Speed & Aging(1:07:07) – Benefits of Boredom for the Brain(1:12:17) – Book Recommendations for Mental GrowthConnect with Dr. Tommy WoodWebsite | Substack | InstagramPre-Order The Stimulated Mind for tons of extra perks!Huge thanks to our sponsors, Momentous, Vitality, and LMNT.
Thousands of studies back red light therapy, yet most devices on the market are completely ineffective and don't do a thing for your body. Today, I'm joined by Ari Whitten to break down how red and near-infrared light actually interacts with your cells and why it matters for everything from wrinkles to stubborn body fat. Ari explains the science behind photobiomodulation, how specific wavelengths penetrate deep into tissue to trigger repair, stimulate collagen production, and mobilize stem cells throughout your entire body. He discusses the critical differences between superficial and deep tissue treatments, why irradiance and LED density are the two specs most companies lie about, and how to tell if a red light device is worth your money. We also get into the story behind red light and fat loss. Ari shares his thoughts on whether it works for stubborn areas like the love handles and thighs, and what has to be true in your lifestyle for red light to make a difference. "You can shine red and near-infrared light on one part of the body and get healing in a totally different organ system that never received any of those light photons." ~ Ari Whitten In This Episode: - Why Ari wrote a book on red light therapy - Defining red light therapy - How red and near-infrared light affects the human body - Benefits of red light therapy for tissue repair, skin, joints, and more - How often do you need to use red light therapy? - Why most red light devices in the market are ineffective - What to look for when purchasing red light products - Does red light therapy help with fat loss? - Does red light therapy oxygenate the body's tissues? - Ari's updated version of The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy Products & Resources Mentioned: The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy (Version 2) by Ari Whitten: Available at major booksellers and on Amazon at https://a.co/d/01uC2BF4 Bon Charge Blue Light Blocking Glasses: Get 15% off sitewide with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox P600 Ceramic Cookware by Chef's Foundry: Currently 50% off, with an additional 20% off for listeners using code WENDY20 at https://chefsfoundry.com Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Ari Whitten: Ari Whitten is a leading expert in energy optimization and red light therapy, with a background in exercise science and human nutrition.

Send a textIn this Quick Tip episode of the Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Seigel breaks down what it really means for a private practice to operate as a Management Services Organization (MSO)—and why owning your MSO can be a powerful strategic advantage. He explains how an MSO separates non-clinical functions like HR, billing, operations, compliance, marketing, and technology into a scalable business infrastructure that allows providers to stay focused on patient care while building long-term enterprise value.Brandon compares becoming your own MSO vs. outsourcing to one, covering ownership control, economies of scale, talent acquisition, revenue diversification, tax efficiency, and negotiating leverage with vendors and payers. He also addresses the real tradeoffs—capital requirements, operational complexity, compliance risk, and leadership demands—so practice owners can make informed decisions. If you're thinking about scalability, succession planning, or building a durable competitive advantage in healthcare, this episode offers a practical framework for deciding whether an MSO model is right for your practice.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

Welcome to another episode of the Superstar Communicator Podcast, hosted by Susan Heaton-Wright. In this episode, Susan Heaton-Wright sits down with Richard Liverman, the founder of Richer Solutions, a brand consultant and coach who specializes in helping professionals and small businesses articulate their unique value and stand out in competitive markets. Drawing on his wealth of experience with some of the world's biggest brands, Richard Liverman shares practical insights about building personal and business branding, overcoming "British modesty," and strategies to confidently communicate your worth. Key Points from the Interview: Introduction & Background Susan Heaton-Wright introduces Richard Liverman and highlights his mission to help talented professionals and small businesses effectively articulate their value (00:00:02 - 00:01:02). The Challenge of Standing Out Richard Liverman discusses how many businesses have substance but lack the style to communicate it well, likening it to great products with lackluster marketing and the British tendency to be modest about achievements (00:02:10 - 00:04:42). Communication and Visibility in Business The conversation turns to similarities between small businesses and individuals in corporate roles who don't "grandstand," and how that can lead to them getting lost in the crowd (00:03:39 - 00:04:42). Helping People Buy from You Richard Liverman reframes sales as helping people to buy, encouraging a mindset shift especially for British businesses, instead of shying away from selling (00:07:35 - 00:07:54). Business Scaffolding & Personal Frameworks Richard Liverman explains the concept of "scaffolding"—the supportive frameworks (like reviews, routines, strategies) that enable people or businesses to perform at their best. Susan Heaton-Wright shares her "diva contract" story, drawing parallels to the scaffolding idea (00:08:17 - 00:12:04). Rest and Preparation The importance of rest and preparation as part of the scaffolding needed to maintain top performance is highlighted with examples from sport and personal routines (00:12:05 - 00:13:51). Brand DNA: Authentic Foundations Richard Liverman introduces the concept of "brand DNA"—understanding and communicating the authentic core of a business or person, including values, "why," and unique strengths. He outlines exercises like the Johari Window to uncover blind spots and enhance self-awareness around brand strengths (00:15:15 - 00:18:23). Feedback and Small Data The value of both structured and informal feedback (small data) in understanding how others perceive you/your business, helping refine both self-perception and outward communication (00:18:23 - 00:20:07). The Benefits of Clarity Richard Liverman explains how uncovering your brand DNA and scaffolding not only boosts confidence and communication, but also helps your audience more easily understand and form a connection with you (00:20:37 - 00:22:13). Standing Out in a Crowd The need to be strategic about networking and to resist comparison or being unsettled by others in your space—a reminder to focus on your unique value (00:24:20 - 00:25:11). Don't Be Boring! Richard Liverman shares his mantra "Don't be boring!"—encouraging innovation and challenging the "we've always done it this way" mindset (00:25:17 - 00:27:44). Building Presence and Getting Clients The importance of putting yourself out there, building credibility, and not relying solely on people "just finding you" (00:28:00 - 00:29:51). Top Three Tips from Richard Don't be boring—challenge yourself to engage others. Put yourself out there—no one else will tell your story for you. Get curious—new opportunities and insights come from curiosity ( 00:30:16 - 00:32:13 ). How to Connect Richard Liverman wraps up by inviting listeners to connect on LinkedIn, Instagram (@RicherSolutionsGlobal), or through his website (00:32:28 - 00:32:57).

Standing at a crossroads? This episode explains what a psychic reading is, how common methods (tarot, clairvoyance, mediumship, palmistry, astrology) work, and what realistic outcomes you can expect—clarity, validation, and practical next steps rather than a fixed fate. We cover how sessions usually flow, typical costs ($30–$150), how to choose and prepare for a reader, and simple ways to integrate insights afterward so a reading supports your decisions. Whether you're skeptical or curious, learn how to approach a reading thoughtfully so it empowers you instead of taking away your agency.

There's a moment when someone says “just meditate” and your whole body tightens. Because you've tried. You've sat there. You've gotten more distracted. More frustrated. More convinced that mindfulness just isn't for your ADHD brain. But what if the problem was never you? So many high-achieving ADHD women are stuck in burnout cycles, emotional overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation — and then handed tools that were never adapted for executive function differences or trauma-informed care. Traditional mindfulness can unintentionally reinforce shame when it's framed as “clear your mind” or “sit still.” When we understand ADHD neurobiology and how attention regulation actually works, mindfulness becomes something very different. It becomes a tool for nervous system regulation. For widening the space between stimulus and response. For interrupting reactivity before it spirals into overcommitment, shutdown, or emotional flooding. And when practiced in an ADHD-aligned way, it can strengthen the exact executive function skills many of us struggle with — without demanding perfection. But there's one subtle shift most people never hear about… and without it, mindfulness will continue to feel impossible. • Why “quiet your mind” is the wrong goal • The attention muscle most ADHD women aren't training • Nervous system regulation vs. forced calm • The moment that changes everything What if the distraction isn't failure… but the actual doorway? ✨Mentioned in the Episode In this episode I mentioned the free app Insight Timer.

Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this evidence-based episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling examine a groundbreaking 2026 study showing how a simple 12-hour overnight fast (8 PM to 8 AM) produced remarkable results for type 2 diabetics, including 50% better fat loss, significant A1C reductions, and medication decreases—all without extreme fasting protocols. They reveal that 80 million Americans have undiagnosed prediabetes and challenge the belief that severe metabolic issues require drastic interventions, demonstrating how modest timing changes aligned with circadian rhythm create meaningful improvements in just 12 weeks. The hosts explain why protecting sleep quality through earlier eating cutoffs enhances next-day insulin sensitivity and reduces cravings, breaking the cycle of metabolic dysfunction without requiring aggressive fasting windows. They offer practical guidance on using 12-hour fasting as either a starting point for beginners, a recovery strategy for those who've lost fasting momentum, or a foundational baseline that can be built upon, emphasizing that consistency and structure matter more than extreme measures when creating sustainable lifestyle change.

In this episode, John Ortberg offers what he calls “two cheers for guilt and shame.” Drawing from the book of Judges, John explores why justice matters, why moral reality is woven into the fabric of existence, and why a world without any sense of guilt or shame would not be more humane — it would be more dangerous.From the brutal story of Adoni-Bezek to the violent cycles of Judges, we see a profound truth emerge: no one ultimately gets away with injustice. As Jesus says in Luke 8:17, nothing hidden will remain hidden.John traces a major turning point in human history — what C.S. Lewis called the moral law — the moment when ancient Israel connected two ideas that had often been separated:There is one God.And that God is good.Justice is real. Accountability is real. And judgment, properly understood, is good news — especially for the oppressed.But here's the deeper turn:- Guilt and shame can either crush us… or redeem us.- Healthy guilt points out where we have done wrong so we can confess and be cleansed. Healthy shame invites us out of hiding into relationship and grace.- And ultimately, Jesus steps into the story and absorbs the consequences we could not.- “The wages of sin is death.”The sin is ours.The death is his.- The cycle of Judges is broken at the cross.Justice is upheld. Mercy is given.And condemnation does not win.
Jessica Palacios was two semesters away from her nursing degree when she walked into a patient's room mid-clinical and found an elderly woman alone in the dark, covered in bed sores, on the wrong mattress, with photos of her family taped to her IV pump. When Jessica raised the alarm, her professor told her to worry about it when she was a real nurse. She sat in her driveway and cried for 30 minutes that evening. That one moment sent her on a decade-long journey through accounting, psychology, sociology, and business before a faculty advisor finally looked at her history and said, you should be in HR. What followed was a 20+ year career at the Texas A&M University System, where Jessica now serves as Associate Director of System Benefits Administration, overseeing healthcare and benefits for over 50,000 covered lives across one of the largest university systems in the United States. In this episode of Inspiring Women, host Laurie McGraw sits down with Jessica to unpack the full journey, the pivots, the promotions, the hard feedback, and the leadership lessons that only come from doing it the hard way. They discuss: The clinical experience that forced Jessica to walk away from nursing and what it still teaches her about advocacy today How she accidentally stumbled into benefits while working at Webb County before she even had her degree What it was like to be thrust into management early with no guidance and be told her tone was a problem The HR director who sat her down with emotional intelligence books and met with her every week until something shifted Why she believes benefits is the single greatest place in any organisation to change an employee's life outside of their paycheck How she now intentionally invests in her team's growth, certifications, master's degrees, vendor relationships and beyond Jessica Palacios is proof that the career you planned and the career you're meant for are rarely the same thing, and that a life spent in service to people can take more shapes than you ever expected.
In this episode of Take a Breath, I'm joined by Wendy Heine — certified Wim Hof instructor, breathwork coach and yoga teacher.Wendy shares her journey from avoiding the cold completely to embracing it as a powerful tool for healing, particularly following her cancer diagnosis in 2021.We explore both the science and the nervous system side of cold exposure — what's actually happening in the body, why it can lift mood and energy so quickly, and how breathwork completely changes your experience of stepping into discomfort.This isn't about bravado. It's not about forcing yourself into freezing water. It's about intention, regulation, and building resilience in a calm, grounded way.Inside this conversation, we explore:Why cold water can lift mood, sharpen focus and boost energyHow long is long enough to trigger the key physiological benefitsWhat “cold enough” really means (and why it doesn't need to be extreme)How to use your breath to stay calm and in controlWhy cold exposure is a form of positive stress that can strengthen both body and mind when approached safelyIf you've been curious about cold showers or sea dips but feel hesitant, this episode will help you understand how to approach it in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.It's about learning to stay steady — even when things feel uncomfortable — and taking that steadiness back into everyday life.To connect with Wendy, go to: https://www.instagram.com/longevitylifestylecoach/Download 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. David Rabin for a mind-expanding conversation on what we've fundamentally gotten wrong about mental health—and why treating symptoms instead of root causes keeps us stuck. They unpack how smartphones hijack our dopamine, why modern convenience works against our nervous systems, and what it really takes to break free from a chronic sympathetic (fight-or-flight) state. From the ancestral role of dopamine and the science behind hugs to nuanced discussions on anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, psychedelics, and ibogaine, this episode bridges ancient biology with cutting-edge research. Dr. Rabin also dives into the “Ape Theory” and the importance of understanding specific mushroom strains rather than lumping them all together. The conversation wraps with insights on Apollo Neuro, sleep optimization, respiratory rates, the “first night effect,” and a refreshing reminder that living a simple, happy life may be the most powerful biohack of all.Dr. David Rabin, MD, PhD, is a translational neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, health tech entrepreneur & inventor who has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for more than two decades.

In this March kickoff episode, Molly introduces a month-long basketball theme inspired by her childhood love of the game and the five life lessons she previously shared with her community. Drawing from her experience playing basketball she explores how the structure and strategy of the game mirror the patterned nature of drinking habits.The central message: before you can change your drinking, you have to understand your playbook.Molly explains how drinking often feels spontaneous and emotional, but when slowed down, reveals predictable thought patterns. Using personal examples from her own decades-long 6 p.m. “unwind play,” along with a client story about belonging and connection, she illustrates how automatic behaviors are not inevitable—they are practiced.The episode also dives into the neuroscience behind habit formation through the Behavior Map–Results Cycle (Thought → Feeling → Action → Result) and how Alcohol Core Beliefs reinforce repeated patterns. For listeners who grew up with alcohol in the home, Molly discusses how early modeling can shape unconscious associations without conscious awareness.The episode concludes with a guided “game film” exercise to help listeners identify the thoughts that precede their drinking urges and begin building awareness—the first and most essential skill for change.This is where agency begins.Why basketball isn't random—and neither is your drinkingHow “automatic” behaviors differ from “inevitable” onesMolly's personal 6 p.m. unwind pattern and how she rewired itThe Behavior Map–Results Cycle and the neuroscience of habit loopsA client example illustrating how belonging—not wine—was driving behaviorThe unique impact of growing up with an alcoholic parent on your internal playbookA guided reflection exercise to identify the thought that begins your drinking patternWhy awareness—not willpower—is the first step toward lasting changeKey ConceptsDrinking follows a predictable playbookAutomatic means practicedThought creates feeling, feeling drives actionYou cannot change what you do not examineShame is not a useful tool for changeAwareness is the first skillLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★
What if the secret to living longer wasn't locked in a lab, but hiding in plain sight? And what could lobsters possibly teach us about staying young?Scientists have discovered a remarkable connection between an ancient practice and our cellular aging process - one that celebrities and longevity researchers are quietly using to their advantage. It involves an enzyme in your body that most people don't even know exists, yet it plays a crucial role in how fast (or slow) you age.The twist? You can activate it in just 10 minutes a day, no prescription required.Curious about the biological "switch" that might help you turn back your cellular clock?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Ryan: First off, I would like to say thanks for all that you do in supporting a healthy community, it's greatly appreciated. My question has to do with what and how much physical activity should you do while you are sick, along with what additional health modalities would you suggest. When you are sick or feeling like you're getting sick, do you continue hitting your 10,000 steps per day? Weight lift? Cardio? HIIT? Continue working out but at a reduced intensity? Should you substitute some activity for red light? Sauna? Yoga? And how would this differ from a cold to a fever? Thanks again! Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral and as always thank you for being such a champion for us out here :) A friend swears that Milk Thistle helped her when she was battling liver cancer. I have NAFLD and am working to reduce it, and besides the ways you have outlined to help (episode 3017), I'm wondering if milk thistle could be a good addition? Thank you so much - have a blessed day:) Dawn Marie: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I had mono as a child, and again in 2023 when I was 48 years of age. In 2023, I was on day 17 of the detox when the mono re-emerged and I was quite sick, almost requiring hospitalization--liver enzymes quite high, thickening of gallbladder walls, and enlarged spleen. My doctor actually wrote me a referral to a surgeon to likely have my gall bladder removed! Thank goodness, after years of listening to your podcasts, I knew to do some research and discovered that after I recovered from the mono, all would return to normal and they did. My understanding is that Epstein-Barr "lives" in the liver and is difficult to fully heal from. I'd like to "kick it out" for good. Is there a way to fully heal from EBV? Is there any risk of it re-emerging if I try to do another 21-day detox? Dylaini: Hi Dr Cabral! Thanks for all you do, you're a wealth of knowledge! I am working with a lot of tinnitus clients and some claim it's from being in the military and being exposed to loud noises, do you think this is simply a "stress" on the body and isn't necessarily a permeant issue from being exposed to loud noises? Thanks again! Josephine: Hi Dr Cabral, you've been an amazing ing help to me over the years, thank you. I'm a 44year old woman living in Australia. I have idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) on my legs and arms. I get this much more so than brown pigment spots. I understand sun protection is the best way to prevent this, however I'm wondering if you have any tips for how to treat it (most sources say pigment won't come back) and also what supplements or topical treatments (excluding sunscreen) might make the skin less susceptible.
