Hey friend, Are you eating better, sleeping more, taking the supplements — and still not feeling any different? You're not imagining it. And you're not doing it wrong. What if the reason the right things aren't working has nothing to do with what the things are — and everything to do with the state your body is in while you're trying to do them? If "I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do and still not healing" is the most frustrating sentence in your life right now, this episode was made for you. I'm Ashley, a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone.

You've been doing all the right things. Eating well, trying to sleep, taking the supplements, following the protocols. And your body still isn't responding the way it should. This episode gives you the explanation you've been missing. I'm walking you through why healthy habits can't fully land when your body is stuck in chronic stress mode, how the alarm loop keeps your system from absorbing the inputs you're adding, and what actually shifts the underlying state so the things you're already doing can finally start working.

Most of us live in a light-deprived world. We spend less than 15 minutes outside daily—despite thinking we're outdoors for hours—leaving our circadian rhythms dangerously misaligned. In this episode, Dr. Jamie Zeitzer and Lucas Tang of Lumos Glasses break down how light acts as a conductor, orchestrating every system in your body: your sleep, mood, metabolism, and immune function. You'll discover why the contrast between bright days and dark nights matters more than total light exposure, why morning light directly impacts serotonin production and depression risk, and how light therapy works synergistically with SSRIs. Whether you have outdoor access or not, they share practical, evidence-backed tools to reclaim your natural rhythm—from outdoor time to Lumos Glasses, a fashionable light-therapy solution for those who can't get consistent daylight. This episode cuts through outdated light-therapy advice and equips you with science-grounded strategies to transform your health from the inside out.Resources mentioned:• Dr. Jamie Zeitzer (circadian rhythm researcher)• Lucas Tang (Lumos Glasses co-founder)• Lumos Glasses (light-therapy eyewear)• Happy Light (light therapy lamp)• NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey)• US Bureau of Labor Statistics Time Use Survey• OSHA workplace lighting standards• UBC landmark study (light therapy + fluoxetine for depression)• Fluoxetine (SSRI medication)Links mentioned:Circadian Rhythm and Light Therapy Guide here: https://dradamrinde.kit.com/5320da545b Sponsorship Mentioned: Pulsetto: Listen for special code mentioned in the episode https://pulsetto.sjv.io/jed7KMLinks:• Lumos Glasses: https://www.lumosglasses.com• Lumos Glasses on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lumosglasses/• Lumos Glasses on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lumosglasses• Lucas Tang on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucaswencanada• Dr. Jamie Zeitzer on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-zeitzer-7888185/

Send us Fan MailS6 E139 - Is Your Bedroom Ruining Your Sleep? 4 Bedroom Fixes for Better SleepIs your bedroom secretly ruining your sleep? Your temperature, air quality, screens, lighting, and even your clock may be causing nighttime awakenings and making it harder for your brain to relax.In this episode of Sleep Takeout, clinical psychologist Dr. Daniel Baughn and sleep medicine physician Dr. Michelle Zetoony walk you through a practical bedroom sleep environment audit designed specifically for adults.You'll learn how to create a “safe sleep space” that supports your circadian rhythm, reduces unnecessary sleep disruptions, protects respiratory health, and helps your brain associate the bedroom with relaxation rather than stimulation.In this episode, we cover:

When your child seems constantly overwhelmed, distracted, anxious, or emotionally reactive, it's easy to assume you need another behaviour strategy. Sometimes the first place to look is much simpler.In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline Buzanko explains why movement and sleep are two of the strongest predictors of emotional regulation, attention, resilience, and learning. She shares what happens inside the brain when children move their bodies, why exercise supports executive functioning, and how quality sleep helps the brain process emotions, strengthen memory, and prepare for the next day.You'll also learn why taking away recess often makes behaviour worse, how phones interfere with healthy sleep, why teenagers naturally struggle with early school mornings, and practical ways to build movement and healthy sleep routines that children will actually maintain.Be sure to tune in because this episode offers realistic strategies grounded in neuroscience that can improve emotional well-being one small habit at a time.Within the Anxiety Compass Framework, many emotional struggles are better understood as capacity limitations rather than skill deficits. When children are chronically sleep-deprived or inactive, expecting strong emotional regulation becomes unrealistic. Supporting the brain through regulation-first habits creates the conditions where learning, coping, and resilience become much more accessible.Homework Activities1.

What if the way you've been trying to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is missing one essential piece… your heart? In this deeply fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Rozman, behavioral psychologist, President and co-CEO of HeartMath, and one of the leading pioneers in the science of heart coherence and heart-brain communication.   We explore how our emotional states directly impact the body, why HRV may reveal far more than most people realize, and what actually happens when the heart and brain fall into sync. Deborah shares the research behind intuition, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and the measurable effects of coherence on our health, mental state, and overall well-being.  We also talk about anxiety, trauma, emotional patterns, meditation, wearable devices, performance states, and why practices like gratitude and heart-focused breathing may be far more powerful than we've been taught. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Deborah guides us through a real-time heart coherence practice you can follow along with — a simple yet powerful exercise designed to help calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring you back into balance within minutes.

Have you spent your whole life saying yes when you meant no? You are not alone, and midlife might be the best time yet to change that. In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, author, soon to be 10x published menopause researcher, educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, sits down with her childhood friend, Sharon Neiss-Arbess, a copywriter-turned-novelist who finally wrote the book she had been carrying around for years. They have known each other since grade five, so this one feels less like an interview and more like hanging out with two old friends over coffee.Sharon's newest book, How I Learned to Pee in the Forest, is a collection of 18 short, true stories about everyday moments that taught her how to stand up for herself, set boundaries, and stop apologizing for taking up space. It is real talk about people-pleasing, asking for help, and giving yourself permission to start something new, no matter your age.Topics:Why "no" really is a full sentence, and how to stop being a people-pleaser in midlifeHow to set boundaries without guilt (and why so many women learn this late)A simple bedtime habit that may help you wind down for better sleepWhat it actually takes to start something new after 40 or 50, in any area of lifeThe difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing, in plain languageChapters:0:00 Intro: Empowering Yourself in Perimenopause and Menopause2:30 From Sears Copywriter to Self-Published Author7:00 The First Three Books and Where the Ideas Came From11:30 "How I Learned to Pee in the Forest": 18 Real-Life Stories14:30 Boundaries, People-Pleasing, and Why "No" Is a Full Sentence18:30 Short Stories for Better Sleep at Night21:00 Self-Publishing vs Traditional Publishing25:30 Why Art Can Bring People Together29:30 Where to Find the Books + Final ThoughtsLearn more about Sharon and her books at sharonneissarbess.comSend us Fan Mail ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagined

You've written a book, and you're getting close to publishing it. You know launch day matters, and you want the book to make an impact. Don't make this common but costly mistake: skip building a launch team. Authors often assume a few social posts, an email or two, and maybe some goodwill from their network will be enough. But without a launch team in place, there's no group of readers ready to post reviews and boost early visibility. A launch team is not just a nice extra. It is one of the smartest ways to turn your launch into a real business development opportunity. The right team can help wake up your network in a way that leads to sales conversations and referrals. I'm a book launch strategist. I share my launch strategies in my fourth book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur's Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue.” I recommend reading it if you want a strategy to drive 50 or more Amazon reviews and build a stronger pipeline from your book to your business. I'm happy to chat. You can find the book, bonus content, and an invitation to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let's meet today's panelists. Anne Bartolucci wrote "Better Sleep for the Overachiever," a practical and science-backed guide that helps high-performing professionals improve their sleep so they can think more clearly, perform at a higher level, and sustain their energy without burning out. David Newman is the author of multiple books, including his latest "Market Eminence: 22 Strategies to Build a Bold Personal Brand, Become a Business Celebrity, and Drive Unstoppable Growth," a high-impact playbook that shows entrepreneurs how to stand out in a crowded marketplace, build authority, and turn their expertise into consistent visibility and revenue. Please join me in welcoming Anne and David.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

You spend nearly one-third of your life asleep. Yet most people have no idea what their brain is actually doing during those hours. And when sleep breaks down, everything else often follows. Sleep isn't just about feeling rested. It's one of the most important biological processes for brain health, hormone regulation, memory, mental health, cardiovascular health, and longevity. In this episode of the Uncover Your Eyes Podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with double board-certified Internal Medicine and Sleep Medicine Physician Dr. Andrea Matsumura, creator of The D.R.E.A.M. Sleep Method, to explore the science of sleep and why so many people struggle with insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, and poor-quality rest. In this episode, you'll uncover:

Taking magnesium 30 to 60 minutes before bed strengthens your body's natural sleep signal and helps you fall asleep faster Magnesium supports calming brain chemicals and melatonin, which helps quiet a "busy mind" and stabilize your sleep cycle Low magnesium levels are common and leave your nervous system stuck in an overstimulated state that disrupts deep sleep Using magnesium at the same time each night trains your brain to expect sleep, making your bedtime routine more effective Pairing proper magnesium timing with consistent daily habits like morning light exposure and a regular bedtime improves how well you sleep and how rested you feel

In this episode of the Morning Upgrade Podcast, Ryan talks with Sheree Young, COO of Vitality Natural Wellness. Sheree shares how The Miracle Morning helped her create slower, more intentional mornings, why breathwork has become one of her go-to tools for stress, and how a consistent nighttime routine supports better sleep. She also opens up about life as an empty nester, working in functional medicine, navigating busy seasons, and the value of taking hard seasons one step at a time.Take the ideas from this show and put them to work.

In this encore episode about breathing for better sleep, this episode focuses on how a simple breathing practice may help with relaxation, stress, and insomnia.Alison speaks with Raj Khedun, the editor-in-chief of Keep Fit Kingdom and the creator of the 3-3 Metaverse breathing method. He explains that his interest in the body, fitness, martial arts, and breathing developed over time, alongside questions about human potential, recovery, and the effects of breath on the nervous system and body.They discuss the 3-3 breathing method as Raj explains that it involves breathing in through the nose in three parts and breathing out through the mouth in three parts, with the exhale helping to activate the vagus nerve. He describes it as a simple practice that can be done for 30 to 90 seconds, especially before bed.They also discuss how the method may help reduce mental chatter, stress, and panic, and how it may support sleep by encouraging relaxation. Raj says it should be practiced properly and consistently, and that it can be learned in a way that is easy to remember and repeat.They close with a reminder that a few minutes of breathing practice is a manageable part of a daily routine.HIGHLIGHTS:1:54 Childhood Dreams and Curiosity5:48 From Questions to Training9:13 India Changes Everything11:21 The Three-Three Breathing Method19:17 Relaxing Into the Practice23:42 Breathing for Better Sleepconnect with Rajwebsite: https://keepfitkingdom.com360 Club 1 year birthday!June promo code: 360BIRTHDAYSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Friends and listeners,If you've found this podcast, you're already doing something right. You're building a sleep system — and white noise is one of the best tools in that stack. But for years, even with the white noise dialed in and my routine locked, I kept waking up at 2am drenched in sweat. Took me forever to figure out it was the blanket.Most weighted blankets are made with polyester linings and synthetic fill. They trap heat, pull in humidity, and turn your bed into a sauna. You get the pressure, but you wake up soaked — like you never slept at all.After a lot of trial and error, I found Baloo Living. Their weighted blankets are 100% cotton, inside and out. No polyester, no synthetic fill, non-toxic, and safe for the whole family. You still get that calming pressure that helps your body wind down — but without the heat. I sleep through the night now. My wife loves hers. My son keeps trying to steal mine.I only recommend products I actually use, and this is one of them.If this podcast is already part of your bedtime routine, this is the missing piece.

Jason Johnson joins Trap Talk for Episode 177, and this one covers a little bit of everything: trapshooting, military service, family, mindset, sleep, and why coming back to the sport can be just as exciting as starting young.Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Jason, a Texas trapshooter, military veteran, and part of the family behind Johnson's Furniture, Appliance & Mattress, a new sponsor of the show. Jason talks about growing up around trapshooting, pulling targets, watching great shooters, serving 23 years in the military, and eventually finding his way back to registered trapshooting as a way to make memories with his dad and family.The guys get into the mental side of shooting, including box breathing, pre-shot routines, music on the line, slowing down under pressure, and why one bad mount should be a reset instead of a lost target. Jason also shares what he learned from the Nevada State Shoot, the fun of events like the Back Fence Shootout, and why the ATA needs more energy, more excitement, and more opportunities for everyday shooters to win something and feel part of the action. They also dive into a topic most trapshooters ignore: sleep. Jason explains why a good mattress matters when you are traveling, shooting long programs, living out of an RV, or trying to stay sharp over several days of competition. From Tempur-Pedic mattresses to RV setups and white-glove delivery, this episode makes a strong case that better rest can lead to better performance.This is a great conversation for shooters getting back into the game, new ATA members, traveling competitors, and anyone who knows that trapshooting is about more than just breaking targets.Enjoy this episode and please like, share, comment, and subscribe to support the channel.Follow & Subscribe to Trap Talk!  It really helps the show!  YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@traptalk27Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/traptalkfromthebackfence/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/traptalk27TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@trap.talk.podcast*** Email us your listener questions to askus@traptalkpodcast.com *** *** Visit TrapTalkPodcast.com for all our links! ***

They break down why so many people unknowingly carry parasites and the symptoms that are often overlooked.   You'll discover how parasites thrive in toxic environments, where they tend to hide in the body, and why issues like gut dysfunction, stress, and poor detoxification can make infections harder to overcome. The conversation also explores the connection between parasites, mood changes, and nervous system health.   The episode also dives into natural parasite-cleansing strategies, including the most effective herbs, detox practices, lymphatic support techniques, and lifestyle habits that help the body heal and become more resilient long term.   In This Episode:  00:00 Parasites And Neck Pain 02:14 Dad's Mystery Illness 03:02 Radionics And Liver Clues 05:49 Gallbladder Meridian Breakthrough 07:53 Where Parasites Hide 11:30 Common Parasites Sources 13:12 Key Symptoms To Watch 14:15 Why Some Get Sicker 16:22 Toxins Metals And Load 17:22 Trauma Liver And Parasites 21:35 Testing Options And Limits 24:22 Blood Markers And Patterns 29:09 Herbs And Homeopathics 31:11 Herb Cycling Strategy 31:54 Roundworm Protocol Basics 32:55 Blastocystis Remedies 36:28 Mimosa Pudica Velcro 37:39 Parasite Proof Stories 41:11 Full Moon Cleanse Timing 46:46 Eggs Lymph Drainage 50:38 Binders And Constipation 51:41 Preventing Reinfection 54:39 Wrap Up And Outro   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

Hey friend,  Have you tried every bedtime routine and still can't fall asleep? Do you wake up tired even after eight hours? Could the fix to your sleep be two short windows of daylight — not a long afternoon walk? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. Chronic Illness Moms is a podcast for moms with chronic illness or chronic symptoms who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits that actually work inside a full, demanding life. Daylight is the strongest signal your brain uses to set your sleep clock — but not all daylight talks to your brain the same way. In this episode I unpack the two short windows that do almost all the work (morning and sunset), why the middle of the day matters less than you'd think, why moms with chronic illness need these signals even more, and the two-doorway practice that quietly improves sleep without rearranging your day.

Most of us are intentional about how we start our mornings, but rarely think about our last thought before sleep. It turns out that final moment before you drift off matters more than you might realize. Your brain continues processing and consolidating whatever is on your mind as you fall asleep, which means choosing that last thought carefully could change not just how you sleep, but how you feel the next day.

Sleep is one of the most important and most overlooked drivers of your health. If you're struggling to fall asleep, waking up at 2–4am, or getting a full night's sleep but still feeling exhausted, your body is trying to tell you something. Poor sleep isn't just about habits, it's a signal that key systems like your nervous system, blood sugar, hormones, or circadian rhythm are out of sync. In this episode, we break down what's actually disrupting your sleep and how to fix it at the root. Here's what you'll understand: • Why sleep issues are rarely just one problem and how stress, blood sugar, and circadian rhythm all interact • The real reasons you can't fall asleep, wake up in the middle of the night, or feel tired despite 7–8 hours • What actually helps (and what doesn't)—from magnesium and melatonin to nervous system regulation • The 5 core pillars of better sleep and the highest-impact changes you can start tonight Sleep isn't something you force, it's something that happens when your body feels safe, balanced, and supported. When you address the root causes, better sleep becomes not just possible but predictable. Visit ⁠functionhealth.com for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.
