This week on Wellness Talk, George takes a closer look at President Trump's new executive order aimed at overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule. The order calls for a reduced list of routine childhood vaccines, greater spacing between vaccinations, and changes to the way combination vaccines such as MMR are administered. George breaks down what the executive order actually says, what could change for parents, and the questions it raises about childhood immunization policy.George also takes a closer look at how vaccine safety is tested and evaluated, using the hepatitis B vaccine as one example. What happens during clinical trials? What safety information is collected before approval, and what happens after a vaccine reaches the public? The segment examines the evidence, the testing process, and some of the questions parents may have about vaccine safety. Hepatitis B vaccines have undergone clinical evaluation, and safety continues to be monitored after approval through post-licensure surveillance.In the second half of the show, John begins a new series exploring The Way to Happiness: A Common-Sense Guide to Better Living. John starts with the opening section of the booklet and discusses its central concepts, why personal responsibility and everyday choices matter, and how these ideas can be applied to building a happier and more productive life.From current events and health policy to practical principles for living a better life, this week's Wellness Talk brings two very different conversations together—encouraging listeners to ask questions, examine the information, and think about the choices that shape their health and their lives.Listen, share, and join the conversation on this week's Wellness Talk!*This content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Episode Summary In episode 337, we welcome Jonathan Criss from Vital Lyfe for a conversation about Apple, wellness, healthier habits, and how technology can support everyday living better. Jonathan brings a Vital Lyfe perspective to the discussion as we explore the ways Apple devices, apps, wearables, and intelligent tools can help people track health, stay organized, build routines, and make more informed choices. Episode Notes Jonathan Criss of Vital Lyfe joins the conversation to bring a practical wellness viewpoint to Apple's technology ecosystem. Rather than looking at devices only as gadgets, this episode considers how the iPhone, Apple Watch, apps, reminders, health data, and AI-powered tools can support better routines and more intentional daily choices. A major focus of this episode is the connection between personal technology and personal well-being. We discuss how Apple's health and productivity features can help users notice patterns, stay accountable, simplify decisions, and create healthier habits over time. We also explore Apple Intelligence and Siri AI through the lens of real-life usefulness. If these tools become more contextual and reliable, they could help people organize their day, remember priorities, support wellness goals, and reduce friction in the small tasks that shape daily life. Listener Takeaways Jonathan Criss brings a Vital Lyfe perspective to the conversation about Apple and wellness. Apple technology can be useful when it helps people build consistent, sustainable habits. Wearables and health apps are most valuable when they turn data into simple, practical action. AI assistants may become more helpful when they support planning, reminders, focus, and routine-building. The best technology should make healthy choices easier, not more complicated.

Send us Fan MailRev. Sherri James is my guest. She is a mother, spiritual teacher, author and minister with a deep commitment to live practice. For the past nine years, she has been the Senior Minister of Understanding Principles for Better Living in Inglewood, California (“Up Church”). Her work is grounded in daily practices that quietly transform a life over time. She teaches spiritual principles the way they are actually lived – through disruption, repetition, patience and trust. She is also a wealth coach, a financial professional and founder of the Sherri James Company.  Sherri is an avid student of ancient wisdom. She helps bring people closer to their lifelong goals.Sherri is the daughter of a radical Mom (for the time) who is a thinker and a seeker. She insisted on Sherri being a thinker. Her mother - a single mother of three, is an active member of Understanding Principles now, but when Sherri was 13, her mother stopped going to church and told Sherri that what those people were telling her was not the Truth but was rhetoric. This influenced Sherri. Her mother empowered her to choose spirituality but reject the parts that didn't work. She exposed Sherri to Tony Robbins and Les Brown. She knew about Rev. Johnnie Coleman and knew that Della Reese was ordained by Johnnie Coleman.Sherri felt the message of Della Reese was the message for the 21st Century. You could learn a spirituality that was embracing a faith and which embraced other traditions. Sherri attended the Johnnie Coleman Institute. This was deeply appealing to Sherri. In the Summer of 1998, Sherri attended the Panorama of Truth with the intention of seeing Johnnie Coleman, but Mary Tumpkin was the guest speaker that day. And Sherri's life has never been the same. Sherri was a Rev. Mary "groupie". Sherri got grounded in L.A. and was routed there. Rev. Della told Sherri that she had prayed about an Assistant Minister, and God told her it was Sherri.Sherri wrote a children's book based on the Bible story of Elijah and the widow with the oil. Reading that story led her to write on it every day. She came to understand the agency of prayer. Sherri wrote a book with Mark Allen in 2009 called "The Money Poems". The book gives the reader the opportunity to rewrite your money story.Sherri's prayer journals changed her life. In October 2010, she took a job. As an entrepreneur, her identity was crushed by taking a job she hated. She was failing in a sales job at the time when Sherri became Assistant Minister at UP Church. She used the power of affirmations to help her improve her sales and build spiritual momentum. She got promoted several times and ended up with an expense account, and an office. This changed her life.A teenage niece had a baby and needed help. Sherri became his mother when he was 14 months old. Her gestation period was one week. Rev. Della threw a party and Sherri came in late to find out that Della had turned over the church to her. Rev. Sherri had no village to help her raise him. He is now 12 1/2 years old. She has taken him with her while she does her ministry. He is gifted and becoming a young man of whom Rev. Sherri is proud.Rev. Sherri came to "Celebrating Our Soul" ("COS") in 2022 because her peers were going. It was a rich, warm and inviting experience. She was a Master Class presenter in 2024. In 2026, Rev. Sherri said yes to coming on the Planning Team in 2026. She found the conference valuable for her to be in community with other New Thought organizations. It deepened her spiritual experience in New Thought. Support the showDonate – CelesteFrazier.com

Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason you feel happier in summer has very little to do with summer itself?Every year we naturally begin walking more, gathering more, cooking differently, opening the windows, eating outside and lingering just a little longer.

On today's page, Chullin 33, the rabbis recommend a curious remedy for those recovering from illness, joining a long Jewish tradition of folk medicine, healing practices, and unconventional cures. From herbal concoctions and mystical amulets to remedies that sound downright bizarre to modern ears, generations of Jews searched for ways to care for body and soul alike. The daf invites us to reconsider what our ancestors were really doing when they experimented with healing. Were they merely superstitious, or were they engaged in an older form of biohacking?

Join the dialogue - text your questions, insights, and feedback to The Dignity Lab podcast.This episode explores what it means to reclaim your dignity after harm—without requiring forgiveness, apology, or explanation. Jennifer shares her own profound shift in thinking about healing after harm.Healing comes from reclaiming your role as the subject of your story, rather than remaining the object of what was done to you. Reclaiming dignity means remembering your worth, releasing unhelpful patterns, and choosing how you want to move forward, independent of others' actions.The core message: your dignity is unearned and non-negotiable. Healing begins when you stop waiting for others to repair what was broken and instead choose to lead your life from your own worth, values, and agency.Takeaways Dignity is inherent—it doesn't need to be earned.  Healing doesn't require forgiveness or apology.  Looking to others to affirm your worth keeps you stuck.  Common reactions (blame, gossip, victimhood) block healing.  Staying in the victim role limits growth.  Shift from “this happened to me” → “what do I choose next?”  This doesn't excuse harm or abandon justice.  Letting go of others' limitations creates freedom.  Lead from your true self—calm, clear, compassionate.  Reclaiming dignity = choosing your next chapter.ResourcesChristian Cooper, Better Living through BirdingExploring what it means to live and lead with dignity at work, in our families, in our communities, and in the world. What is dignity? How can we honor the dignity of others? And how can we repair and reclaim our dignity after harm? Tune in to hear stories about violations of dignity and ways in which we heal, forgive, and make choices about how we show up in a chaotic and fractured world.

This week Meghan is joined by actor, humorist, and six-time author Annabelle Gurwitch, who returns to the podcast to discuss her new memoir, The End of My Life Is Killing Me: The Unexpected Joys of a Cancer Slacker. Annabelle was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer during COVID, entirely out of the blue, after what she assumed was a meaningless cough. Five years later, she remains an outlier on a targeted therapy that has kept her stable. In this conversation, Annabelle talks about how she has resisted the sentimental clichés surrounding illness, why she rejects the idea that cancer is a "battle," and how humor, contrarianism, and facing "the shipwreck of the soul" have shaped the way she lives now. Guest Bio: Annabelle Gurwitch is an actress, activist, and New York Times bestselling author of six books and two-time finalist for the Thurber Prize. Her essays have appeared in The New Yorker, New York Times, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, and Hadassah Magazine, among other publications. Her six books include the New York Times bestseller and Thurber Prize finalist I See You Made an Effort. Annabelle co-hosted the fan favorite Dinner & a Movie on TBS, was a regular commentator for NPR. She is serving in leadership as a patient advocate with the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC).

In a world of constant noise, endless distraction, and performative busyness, what does it mean to pursue true excellence? Not hustle-for-hustle's-sake kind—but the kind rooted in values, meaning, and sustainable high performance. Today's guest is one of the clearest voices on that question: Brad Stulberg—bestselling author, performance coach, and researcher on sustainable excellence. Brad is a rare returning guest to The Coaching Lab for good reason. His work regularly appears in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic, and he serves on faculty at the University of Michigan. His new book, The Way of Excellence, reframes excellence not as a finish line—but as a process of mastery, meaning, and becoming. Drawing on modern science, timeless philosophy, and real-world stories of elite performers, Brad shows us how to integrate mastery and mattering—so we can perform at our best without burning out or losing what truly matters. In this conversation, we explore:·       Why excellence is not about outcomes—but about process·       How to build real confidence through consistency·       The difference between “pseudo-excellence” and the real thing·       How focus, discipline, and values alignment create sustained performance·       And how to pursue greatness without sacrificing well-being, relationships, or meaningWhether you're an athlete, coach, leader, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to live with greater intention, this episode delivers a clear, grounded roadmap for what it really means to be at your best—day after day.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

The use of saunas is exploding in popularity in the US, but they've been a standard part of life in other parts of the world. Finland is the best example, with more than one sauna for every 2 people! What is it about the health, wellbeing and high performance benefits that are driving such engagement? Is it a fad? Or is the trend driven by dependable evidence? What frequency, duration and temperature are recommended for better health & wellbeing? How about for athletic performance? What's the difference between infrared and traditional saunas?

In this episode I talk about what is a mindful walking meditation, the difference between meditation and mindfulness and a few resources to help you get more information about it. I know that in some places in the world you cannot walk freely or without consciousness of your immediate area. Some places in the U.S. do not have sidewalks. Other cities are actively hostile to pedestrians.    The good news is that you can walk at home, in the back yard or visually in your mind.   It is okay, main thing is moving your body or your spirit.   Resources Mentioned:  Serene Madani article on the Woman's Health Magazine website about walking outside phoneless.   Duke Health has an infographic called Mastering Box Breathing: A Simple Technique to Relieve Stress. It shows you visually and in text how to do it.   Mindful.org has a page on A Guided Walking Meditation for Daily Life. There is an audio recording as well as text to help you reconnect with the existing world.   If you really, truly cannot leave home without your phone then you do have the option of adding a meditative podcast or download one of the many guided meditations.   The Centre for Mindfulness Studies in Canada has a 10 minute guided walking meditation in a .m4a audio format. Android users might have problems opening this audio format.   And from Michigan State University  Extension Mindfulness for Better Living is an audio .mp3 recording by Dr. Roxane Chan with more of a emphasis on mindfulness walking.   On the Jack Kornfield website, he has an audio walking meditation you could use as you walk and it might be challenging if you are new to meditation, but if you are further along the path and struggle with wondering attention, this is a good one.   Emergency Resources The Trevor Project: Provides crisis support specifically for LGBTQ+ youth through phone (1-866-488-7386), text (START to 678-678), and online chat.

Today, we're exploring two powerful books about transforming how we care for ourselves and show up for others. First, Sharon Salzberg, the renowned meditation teacher and New York Times bestselling author, joins us with key insights from her 2023 book Real Life: The Journey from Isolation to Openness and Freedom, a guide to recovering spaciousness and connection. Then, in the second half of the show, mindfulness teacher Shelly Tygielski will share how small acts of radical care can create global impact, as laid out in her 2021 book Sit Down to Rise Up.

Does discussing death actually help us live better? In this episode of the The Gritty Nurse Podcast, Host Amie Archibald-Varley sits down with Penny Hawkins Smith—better known to her millions of followers as Hospice Nurse Penny—to find out. Penny is a certified hospice and palliative care nurse and a "death influencer" who uses social media to combat death anxiety and misinformation. She joins us to share her incredible journey from the ICU to hospice care and to discuss her new memoir, Influencing Death: Reframing Dying for Better Living. Together, we break down the critical (and often misunderstood) differences between hospice and palliative care, debunk common myths about morphine and the dying process, and dive into the "gritty" reality of end-of-life advocacy. Penny also opens up about the mysterious side of dying—including "visioning" and the unexplainable phenomena nurses witness at the bedside. Whether you are a healthcare professional, a caregiver, or just someone looking to understand mortality better, this conversation is an honest, educational, and surprisingly uplifting look at the end of life. In This Episode, We Cover: Hospice vs. Palliative Care: What is the actual difference, and when should you ask for a consult? The "Death Influencer" Phenomenon: How Penny uses TikTok and Instagram to educate millions and fight death phobia. Controversial Topics in Death Care: We tackle the hard questions about withholding food/fluids, pain management, and the stigma surrounding hospice. Mysterious Experiences: Penny shares stories of "visioning" (seeing deceased loved ones) and terminal lucidity. Influencing Death: A look inside Penny's new memoir and how her personal struggles with addiction shaped her compassionate approach to nursing. Advocacy in Action: How nurses can lead the charge in normalizing conversations about death.
