In this episode, Dr. Hugh explains how unstable blood sugar can hurt your mitochondria and lower your energy. This problem is called dysglycemia.To learn more or schedule a Zoom call with Dr. Hugh, visit:https://drhughwegwerth.com/discovery-call/When blood sugar goes too low or too high, your cells may not get steady fuel. This can lead to poor energy, brain fog, fatigue, poor sleep, and slower healing.Dr. Hugh explains why the blood sugar “sweet spot” is important for people with chronic illness, autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia, gut problems, thyroid problems, and people recovering from antibiotic damage.In this episode, you will learn:Why blood sugar matters for mitochondrial healthHow low blood sugar can create stress in the bodyHow high blood sugar can cause inflammation and oxidative stressWhy stable blood sugar may improve energy and focusWhy Dr. Hugh likes the blood sugar range of 85 to 120How a continuous glucose monitor can help find hidden blood sugar problemsWhy blood sugar is one of the “low-hanging fruits” in healingHow poor blood sugar control may slow recoveryWhy anemia and low blood pressure also matter for healingDr. Hugh also shares a real client example showing how eating more consistently helped improve sleep and energy. He explains how tracking blood sugar can reveal patterns that regular testing may miss. Key takeaway:If your blood sugar is going too high or too low, your mitochondria may struggle to make energy. Before spending money on advanced therapies, it is important to check the basics first.To learn more or schedule a Zoom call with Dr. Hugh, visit:https://drhughwegwerth.com/discovery-call/

In this episode of the Health Literacy 2.0 Podcast, host Seth Serxner welcomes Michael Susi, the leader behind LinkedIn's long-running employee wellness program, for a fascinating conversation about what workplace wellness looks like when it's built around real human behavior rather than generic corporate initiatives.Michael shares his unconventional career journey from football coaching and personal training to leading wellness strategy at one of the world's most recognized companies. Along the way, he discovered something many organizations still overlook: employees often know what they “should” do for their health - but stress, sleep, overwhelm, and everyday life get in the way.The discussion explores how LinkedIn evolved its wellness philosophy into a practical, accessible, and compassionate program centered around six core tenets:ThoughtsBreathingHydrationNutritionMovementRestRather than focusing narrowly on exercise or weight loss, the program reframes wellness in more approachable ways that encourage participation from everyone - not just already health-conscious employees.Seth and Michael also discuss:Why “movement” works better than “exercise” for employee engagementHow language and inclusivity shape wellness participationThe role of gamification, rewards, and social proof in driving engagementWhy wellness ROI is often best measured through participation and behavior changeHow LinkedIn creates global wellness experiences across very different office culturesThe hidden impact of stress and sleep deprivation on employee wellbeingWhy wellness programs should avoid guilt, shame, and perfectionismThe balance between wearable technology and listening to your own bodyHow health literacy empowers employees to make better healthcare decisionsMichael also shares creative examples from LinkedIn's wellness initiatives, including wellness swag, point systems, hydration campaigns, and engagement strategies designed to create genuine curiosity and peer-driven momentum.One of the strongest themes throughout the episode is that sustainable wellness is not about intensity or perfection - it's about helping employees build healthier habits in realistic, compassionate ways.As Michael explains: “Wellness is not a moment in time - it's the moments of your life.”This episode is packed with practical insights for HR leaders, benefits professionals, wellness leaders, healthcare innovators, and anyone interested in creating healthier, more human-centered workplaces.Listen now to hear how LinkedIn approaches employee wellness, engagement, and health literacy at scale.Learn About EdLogicsWant to see how EdLogics' gamified platform can boost health literacy, drive engagement in health and wellness programs, and help people live happier, healthier lives?Visit the EdLogics website: www.edlogics.com.Get Seth's BookCheck out The Wellbeing Effect by Seth Serxner.

Kindness may seem simple—but it has powerful effects on our health, relationships, and longevity. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Warren Ng, a psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian's Center for Youth Mental Health, about what it really means to be kind and why it matters more than ever. Dr. Ng explains that kindness begins with intention and connection, often leading to small but meaningful actions that can ripple outward to others. The conversation explores the biology of kindness, including how it increases oxytocin—often called the “feel-good” hormone—while boosting serotonin and reducing stress hormones like cortisol. These changes can support heart health, lower anxiety, and even strengthen the immune system. Dr. Ng also discusses research linking kindness and social connection to longer life expectancy and better cognitive health, including studies on volunteering and brain function in older adults. He introduces the concept of “kindfulness,” or being intentional about kindness, and offers practical tips on how to incorporate it into daily life—whether through helping others, expressing gratitude, or practicing self-compassion.   Chapters 00:00 – What Is Kindness and Why Does It Matter? Defining kindness as intention, connection, and action—and how small acts can create a ripple effect 04:00 – The Science of Kindness in the Body How oxytocin, serotonin, and reduced cortisol improve mood, heart health, and stress levels 08:00 – Kindness, Longevity, and Brain Health Research on social connection, volunteering, immune function, and cognitive benefits over time 11:30 – Practicing “Kindfulness” Every Day Practical ways to be kind to others and yourself, and why connection is essential for well-being   Key Topics Covered What kindness is and how it shows up in daily life The “feel-good” hormones released by kind acts Effects of kindness on stress, heart health, and immunity The link between kindness, connection, and longevity Volunteering and its impact on brain health and cognitive function The concept of “kindfulness” and intentional compassion Strategies for practicing self-kindness and building self-esteem The role of kindness in reducing loneliness and isolation   Takeaway Message Kindness isn't just a social gesture; it's a powerful driver of health. Even small, intentional acts can lower stress, strengthen connection, and improve both mental and physical well-being. In a world where many feel isolated, kindness offers a simple, meaningful way to care for ourselves and each other – and to build healthier, more connected lives.   Doctor Bio Warren Y.K. Ng, MD, MPH is the community health director at the Center for Youth Mental Health at NewYork-Presbyterian. He is a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, medical director for outpatient behavioral health at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center; and director of clinical services, Division of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at CUIMC; behavioral health service line clinical innovation officer, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.  Dr. Ng oversees the comprehensive spectrum of clinical programs in child, adolescent, and adult outpatient and community behavioral health at NewYork-Presbyterian's Division of Community and Population Health.

Send us Fan MailIf you've been told you have a hormone imbalance (or you've suspected it yourself), this episode is going to completely change the way you think about what's happening in your body.Most women dealing with symptoms like PMS, heavy periods, painful periods, fatigue, bloating, mood swings, or irregular cycles have done the research. They've landed on terms like estrogen dominance or low progesterone. They may have even started supplements, tried seed cycling, or cleaned up their diet. And yet they still don't feel better.Here's what most people miss: your hormones are rarely the cause of your symptoms. They're the result. In this episode, we're going deeper, into the four body systems that are most likely driving your hormone imbalance, and why addressing these root causes is the key to finally feeling like yourself again.In this episode, we cover:Why hormone imbalance is a downstream symptom (not a root cause) and what this means for your healingThe estrobolome: what it is, why your gut microbiome directly controls your estrogen levels, and what happens when it's out of balanceHow your gut can drive estrogen dominance, heavy periods, and PMSWhy a sluggish liver keeps estrogen recirculating in your bodyHow blood sugar dysregulation drives androgen excess, worsens estrogen dominance, and feeds the stress response cycleWhy two women can have identical hormone panels and need completely different approachesWhat to look at upstream of your hormones and how this is the foundation of everything I do with my clientsIf any of these symptoms sound familiar, this episode is for you:PMS, mood swings, or irritability before your periodHeavy, painful, or irregular periodsBloating, constipation, or digestive issues alongside hormonal symptomsFatigue that doesn't improve with restAcne, hair thinning, or unwanted hair growthWaking between 1–4amEnergy crashes, sugar cravings, or feeling "hangry"Symptoms that seem to shift or worsen during stressful periods Subscribe to the Aligned to Rise Podcast: Apple | SpotifyConnect w/ Alyssa:InstagramWebsiteWork w/ Alyssa:Free Period Pain PlaybookWork with me 1:1Learn more about AlyssaDisclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode is for you.In today's conversation, I'm breaking down why so many women feel stuck jumping from one health trend to another - and why the real issue usually isn't lack of discipline. It's lack of clarity.I'm sharing how learning a simple nutrition framework can completely change the way you approach food, your health goals, and your confidence around eating. Instead of constantly second-guessing every decision, you'll learn how macro tracking creates awareness, flexibility, and long-term consistency without relying on restrictive diet rules.We're also talking about why macros for women are about so much more than weight loss. This approach can support energy, blood sugar stability, muscle building, body composition, and sustainable habits that actually fit real life.If you've been trying to eat healthy but still feel confused, exhausted, or frustrated with your results, this episode will help you understand why fueling your body properly matters more than chasing the next nutrition trend.In this episode, I cover:Why most women feel stuck and overwhelmed by nutrition adviceHow macro tracking helps you stop second-guessing food choicesWhy balanced meals are the foundation of fueling your bodyHow a simple nutrition framework creates sustainable resultsWhy macros for women are about more than just weight lossIf this episode helped you rethink the way you approach nutrition, take a screenshot, share it on Instagram, and tag Emily at @emilyfieldrd.And if you're ready to stop guessing and finally learn how to eat in a way that supports your body long-term, check out the Macros Made Easy course and start building confidence with food today.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Access free and low cost resources and services from this episode HERE!Read the full show notes for this episode HERE!CONNECT WITH EMILY FIELD RD:InstagramWebsiteFacebook

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering some of the questions you have sent in recently, and we are covering a little bit of everything.We talk about what I personally use for bloating and gut support, the smart scales I've used, and the app I use regularly for tracking food and macros. I also share what my deload weeks look like, especially because I do have to train a little differently and really pay attention to what my body needs.We also get into glute growth…because no, you do not have to only train lower body if you want your glutes to grow. But you do need to train them intentionally. I break down the difference between working your glutes in lengthened and shortened positions and why both matter if you want continued progress.And of course, we cover some of the bigger questions too: recovery, intermittent fasting, “fat-burning mode,” and my honest thoughts on GLP-1s.As always, the goal is to help you cut through the noise, understand what actually matters, and build a body and lifestyle that feels strong, sustainable, and supportive.In this episode, we cover:The prebiotic/probiotic supplement I use for bloatingThe smart scales I have used and recommendWhat my deload weeks look like and why I listen to my bodyHow to train for continued glute growthWhy “fat-burning mode” from intermittent fasting is overhypedThe truth about fasting windows and fat lossMy honest, unfiltered thoughts on GLP-1sLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterDebloat : Code: KRISTYCASTILLOFITRenpho Smart Scale SHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

In this episode we conclude our  series about Metaphysics and modern AI, we explore the definitions of consciousness, reasoning, and thinking to understand if AI possesses these traits. From examining legal accountability and the concept of personhood to analyzing human cognitive frameworks, we map out the differences between actual contemplative problem-solving and probabilistic pattern recognition. The episode covers: Defining consciousness, reasoning, and what it means to be a "thinking thing"The Turing Test as a low bar and why natural language capabilities create the illusion of intelligenceAccountability and agency: Why AI models like Claude are not legally recognized as personsDaniel Kahneman's System 1 (fast heuristics) vs. System 2 (contemplative reasoning) thinkingWhy LLMs function primarily as System 1 pattern recognizers rather than true reasonersComplex systems, Descartes' dualism, and whether thinking is an emergent property requiring a physical bodyHow chatbots use psychological mirroring, filler words, and pauses to trick human biasesThe dangers of anthropomorphizing AI driven by fear of change or financial incentivesThis is the final episode in our metaphysics and AI series.

What does it take to completely transform your health after 40? In this deeply personal episode of DadSense, host Subhashis opens up about his own physical health journey — from a young professional in Mumbai who worked hard and partied hard, to an HR Director at Disney in Los Angeles raising a newborn, to losing both his parents and finding his biggest wake-up call, to running his first half marathon at age 51 and being in the best shape of his life at 52.This is a raw, honest, and inspiring story told across three chapters of life.What Subhasis covers in this episode:Why your 20s and 30s give you a dangerous false sense of health securityHow becoming a dad in LA changed the way he thought about his bodyHow losing his father to Parkinson's and his mother became his biggest wake-up callThe three pillars — diet, exercise, and sleep — and how he got them all wrong for yearsThe "just wear your shoes" trick that gets him out the door on lazy daysWhy you should follow joy, not trends, when picking a fitness routineHis honest advice to every dad out there Follow us on socials:Dadsense: https://www.instagram.com/dadsensepod/Kathanika Media (Production House): https://www.instagram.com/kathanikamedia/

What if your symptoms aren't the real problem… but a signal pointing to something deeper?In this episode, Dr. Kelly Kessler sits down with Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why so many high-achieving women are doing everything right—yet still feel stuck in cycles of stress, burnout, and unresolved health issues.Andrea shares how the conventional approach to health often reduces you to a diagnosis, overlooking the deeper patterns, experiences, and belief systems that shape your biology. Together, they unpack the powerful connection between your biology and your biography, and why healing requires more than protocols—it requires understanding you.You'll learn:Why treating symptoms alone often keeps you stuckThe hidden cost of high-achievement on your bodyHow your past experiences and belief systems impact your health todayThe difference between reacting to symptoms vs. understanding root causesWhy slowing down may be the key to finally feeling betterIf you've ever felt like your body is still reacting despite doing all the “right” things… this conversation will help you see what's been missing and how to reconnect with yourself in a way that actually creates change.Andrea Nakayama is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist, Narrative Medicine practitioner, and educator known for bridging systems biology with the lived experience of illness. She founded the Functional Nutrition Alliance—an acquired health ed-tech company—and has trained thousands of practitioners worldwide to move beyond symptom suppression and one-size-fits-all protocols. Through her signature frameworks (including the Functional Nutrition Matrix and 3 Roots, Many Branches) and her podcast, she's helped practitioners and patients map complexity, clarify patterns, and create care that's both precise and deeply human.Connect with Andrea:https://www.andreanakayama.com/https://www.instagram.com/andreanakayama/https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreanakayama/https://www.facebook.com/AndreaNakayama.pageConnect with KellyIf this conversation resonated with you and you're ready to deepen your relationship with yourself, there are a few ways to continue the journey.

This episode will completely change the way you think about supplements. Tess sits down with nutritionist and founder of Foraged For You, Sheridan Joy Austin, to unpack what's really going on in the supplement industry — from synthetic ingredients and hidden additives to why so many products aren't actually doing what they promise. Because it turns out, it's not just about what you take… it's about whether your body can actually absorb and use it.In the second half, the conversation shifts into conception, pregnancy and postpartum — and what women are getting wrong when it comes to nourishment. From folate vs folic acid, to iodine, iron and postpartum depletion, this is the kind of information every woman should hear before (and after) having a baby.In this episode, we cover:Why most supplements aren't actually being absorbedThe truth about synthetic vs food-based nutrientsWhat's really happening inside the supplement industryWhy you might be wasting money on your current supplementsFolic acid vs folate — and why it matters for pregnancyKey nutrients for conception, pregnancy & postpartumWhy so many women are unknowingly undernourishedThe link between nutrient deficiencies, mood & energyChildren's health and how to optimise itPostpartum depletion and how to better support your bodyHow to actually nourish yourself (and your family) properlyUse code TESSTALKS10 for a limited time to get 10% off Foraged For You (excluding bundle packs).www.foragedforyou.comFollow Sheridan: @sheridanjoyaustinFollow Foraged For You: @foragedforyou_Follow me on Instagram: @tess.shanahan & @tesstalksofficial Follow me on TikTok: @tessshanahanFollow me on YouTube: TessShanahan Hosted on Acast.

Episode Show NotesWe've been taught to believe that more exercise equals better health, stronger bodies, and faster results. This episode challenges that belief in a big way. Susan breaks down how pushing harder and training longer can actually backfire, leading to chronic inflammation, disrupted recovery, and even long-term health consequences that often go unnoticed.This conversation goes deeper than surface-level fitness advice. It connects the dots between genetics, lifestyle, and training patterns to show why two people can follow the exact same workout plan and experience completely different outcomes. From inflammatory gene responses to stress hormone regulation and recovery capacity, your body has a unique threshold, and ignoring it can quietly work against you.Susan also walks through how overtraining shows up beneath the surface, even when you feel “fine.” Blood markers, nervous system dysregulation, sleep disruption, and metabolic shifts all play a role in whether your body is adapting or breaking down. The goal isn't to stop moving, it's to train with precision, honoring your body's rhythms, recovery needs, and individual design.By the end of this episode, you'll have a new lens on exercise, one that prioritizes alignment over intensity, and sustainability over burnout. Because real progress doesn't come from doing more. It comes from doing what actually works for your body.In this episode:Why too much exercise can trigger chronic inflammation and slow recoveryHow genetics influence your response to stress, training, and inflammationThe role of stress hormones like cortisol in overtraining and burnoutKey gene variants (like COMT, IL-6, TNF-alpha) and what they mean for your bodyHow different health types respond to exercise, and why personalization mattersThe hidden signs of overtraining, even when you feel “healthy”Blood markers to watch for (fasting insulin, triglycerides, CRP, glucose)How chronobiology (timing) impacts performance and recoveryWhy recovery, not intensity, is where real progress happensHow to train smarter by aligning with your body's natural capacityRESOURCES:Find all of Susan's Resources and links in the show notes: Shop the products: http://healthygut.com/healthyawakenings (this link will provide you a special discount!)https://healthyawakening.co/2026/04/27/episode121/Connect with Susan: https://healthyawakening.co/Visit the website: healthyawakening.co/podcastFind listening links here: https://healthyawakening.co/linksP.S.

I have a saying, Embody first, Examine later.When you're feeling like you're drowning in body image concerns or food impulses, your prefrontal cortex is shut down. This is the part of your brain where you rationalize and can think through what is going on. When that part of your brain is diminished, it can be much harder to try to understand what message your body is trying to send you through food cravings or body image worries.At this point, what is often needed is non-verbal connection with your body. Your body needs support in assessing that it is safe.In this week's episode, I chat with Beverly Atkins, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and the founder of Pauseture, about: The impact of movement on body awarenessNavigating body image and self perceptionCultural influences on body image and how the practice of Feldenkrais can support in updating your experience of your bodyHow to shift focus from appearance to sensationUnderstanding food behaviors through movement and nervous system attunementYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/feldenkrais-practice-can-improve-body-imageLastly, the doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!! Early bird pricing of $150 off goes until Tuesday, April 28th.

Estrogen plays a powerful, full-body role, and as it shifts, so does how your body responds to exercise, nutrition, and stress.You'll learn how to adapt your fitness and health routine so you can stay strong, energized, and resilient through your late 30s, 40s, and beyond.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy estrogen acts like the “COO” of your bodyHow declining estrogen impacts muscle growth and repairThe truth about sarcopenia and age-related muscle lossWhy joint pain and stiffness increase during perimenopauseWhat's really behind fat redistribution (especially around the midsection)Why “eat less, move more” often stops workingHow strength training supports long-term health and metabolismUpdated protein needs for women over 35The critical role of recovery, rest, and stress managementHow to reframe aging as a strength-building phase—not declineKey TakeawaysEstrogen influences muscle, joints, fat distribution, and recoveryMuscle loss can begin as early as your 30s and accelerates over timeLower estrogen reduces your body's ability to repair and build muscleJoint inflammation and stiffness are often hormone-related—not just wear and tearMidsection fat gain is common and not simply a result of diet or disciplineStrength training is essential for maintaining muscle, metabolism, and bone densityProtein needs increase to support muscle maintenance and recoveryRecovery is no longer optional: it's foundationalYour body isn't failing: you just need a new strategyJoin our community to get on the list for our new micro course to take what you're learning and actually start applying it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thestrongherwaysisterhoodAlisha Carlson's Website: https://alishacarlson.comHormonal Health Resources by Dr. Sarah Gottfried: https://drgottfried.com/hormonal-health

How can music serve as both an anchor and a form of political resistance? What does it mean to create art in an age of "cognitive violence"? In this episode of Trust Me, I Know What I'm Doing, host Abhay Dandekar sits down with the legendary Vijay Iyer—MacArthur Fellow, Harvard professor, and one of the most influential pianists and composers of our time. Described as a "social conscience" and "multicultural gateway," Vijay shares a masterclass on the physical and emotional labor required to maintain a creative life over three decades.From the necessity of protecting time against the "colonization of memory" to the humbling experience of being an "eternal student," Vijay discusses the profound "transduction" that happens between an artist and their audience. Vijay's insights on "shared feeling," the mathematics of emotion, and the courage to remain vulnerable offer a roadmap for co-constructing a more intentional future.Key Topics Discussed:The Ritual of the Body: How the sensory, physical connection to an instrument serves as an anchor against modern information overload.The "Eternal Student" Mindset: Lessons from legends like Zakir Hussain on why mastery is a lifelong pursuit of learning.Music as Political Action: How instrumental compositions, like his tribute to Refaat Alareer, engage with the global zeitgeist.The Power of Collaboration: Building a sense of "home" and common cause through cross-cultural artistic partnerships.Mathematics vs. Feeling: Using "similarity relationships" and the physics of sound to evoke unquantifiable human emotions.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction03:22 Daily Routines and Creative Energy05:59 The Power of Performance and Humility10:03 Transduction in Music: Connecting with Audiences14:18 Exploring the Concept of 'We' in Music17:18 Unlearning as an Educator20:11 Sponsor Break: Travelopod and RuffRest21:23 Contrasts in Musical Expression22:41 Exploring Similarity in Music and Mathematics28:12 The Intersection of Politics and Music32:55 Identity and Belonging in a Global Context39:43 Music as a Space for Community and Home42:41 ConclusionShoutouts to to Gauri for turning 40, to the Artemis crew and Amit Kshatriya for a mission accomplished and job well done, and to artist Naresh Kumar Kumawat for his sculpted statue of Swami Vivekananda being unveiled in Seattle.  Lastly, our collective hearts will always be filled with the songs and music of unforgettable Asha Bhosle - Hari Om Sadgati!Support the Show: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Apple or Spotify or wherever you podcast!TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is proudly brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.  Start your next journey at vacation.travelopod.comThis episode is also sponsored by RuffRest® , the only dog bed you'll ever need.  Go to www.timberdog.com to learn more

What if illness was optional?Naveen Jain has built seven companies. He was on top of the world running Moon Express, the first private company ever granted permission to leave Earth orbit, with a $2.6 billion NASA contract to mine the moon, when his father was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and given three months to live.He got exactly that.That moment broke something open. Naveen walked away from space and started asking a different question: if we can land on the moon, why are we still finding cancer by a dentist running a finger across someone's gum?In this episode, Naveen sits down with Jessica to share the framework behind every company he builds: why this, why now, why me.That framework led him from helium-3 mining to founding Viome, the company now running 1.5 million tests, sitting on 400 quadrillion biological data points, and holding FDA Breakthrough Device designation for detecting stage 1 oral and throat cancer with 95% specificity.A stage 1 pancreatic cancer test launches in the next three months.Jessica and Naveen go deep on:The three questions every founder must answer before starting anythingWhy DNA testing companies are asking the wrong question, and what RNA reveals insteadThe 100 trillion microbes producing 99.9% of the genes expressed in your bodyHow a classified Los Alamos biological defense project became the foundation of ViomeWhy cancer immunotherapy works for 1/3 of patients, and what changes when you fix the gutThe double-blind data: HbA1c down 0.42 in 90 days, IBS reversal in 64% of patients, anxiety down 50%Building a culture where loyalty shifts from the founder to the missionWhy Naveen, at 66, still believes he owes a debt to his fellow humansThe advice he'd give every leader: dream so big people think you're crazyA masterclass in first-principles thinking, mission-driven leadership, and the radical idea that chronic disease isn't a feature of aging.It's a signal we've been ignoring.Truth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal, former Netflix CHRO, here to interrogate what actually works in leadership and life.If this conversation shifted how you think about your health, your work, or what you're capable of building, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Have you ever tried breath work to manage your adult ADHD? In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, Dave sits down with Kurtis Lee Thomas, a corporate mindfulness trainer and founder of Breathwork Detox. They explore the critical importance of "hitting the pause button" in a world that demands constant digital engagement. Kurtis shares his personal journey from suffering a mysterious, debilitating stomach condition to discovering a powerful somatic breathing technique that provided a miracle cure when Western medicine could not. The conversation dives deep into why high-achieving entrepreneurs and professionals, especially those with ADHD, often struggle with chronic stress and how breathwork can provide immediate relief. Managing adult ADHD through breath work. The Power of the Pause: Why professionals and those with ADHD must incorporate intentional breaks to maintain mental clarity and performance. Breathwork vs. Meditation: Understanding the "umbrella term" of breathwork and why active breathing can be more accessible for chaotic minds than traditional silent meditation. Stress and the Body: How the body acts as a "living library" for trauma and stress, often manifesting in physical ailments like digestive issues or burnout. The Digital Defocus: How smartphone habits act as a form of "de-meditation," training our brains to constantly switch channels and lose focus. The Breathwork Detox Method: A look into this somatic, mouth-breathing technique designed to clear the sympathetic nervous system and release built-up emotional baggage. Interrupting Rumination: Strategies for breaking the "hamster wheel" of repetitive negative thoughts common in busy leaders. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?

Episode DescriptionIf you've been doing everything “right”—tracking, optimizing, staying consistent—and your body still isn't responding… this episode is going to shift how you see everything.This isn't about needing more discipline or a better plan. It's about understanding the relationship you've been taught to have with your body—and why it's quietly working against you.In this episode, I break down why high-achieving women stay stuck in cycles of effort without results, how your body actually determines change, and what it looks like to move out of a performative, transactional approach to health.This is the conversation that changes everything—because it moves you out of control and into understanding.And if you're ready to actually work with your body instead of against it, this is exactly what we do inside Body Wisdom.

Wachuka, born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, lives in a small mountain town, Nanyuki, where the slower rhythms of nature have become central to her personal healing and spiritual journey.Wachuka is the co-founder of Ikigai Nairobi, a nature and wellness-focused co-working company that creates inspiring spaces that reimagine work, community and wellbeing. After contracting Covid in 2020 and developing Long Covid and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) thereafter, Wachuka's life shifted in profound ways.

Chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and women's health are deeply connected to emotional patterns most people overlook.Letting go of the past is one of the most misunderstood ideas in healing.For many people, letting go feels like minimizing what happened, pretending it didn't matter, or condoning someone's behavior. So instead, you hold on to resentment, grief, or unresolved loss as a way of acknowledging the impact of what occurred.But when the emotional charge connected to those experiences stays active, your body keeps responding to them long after the event itself is over.In this episode, you'll discover:Why holding on to the past keeps resentment and grief active in the bodyHow unresolved experiences can contribute to chronic symptoms and flare-upsHow to identify the message inside an emotion so you can release it and finally start letting goUse the free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional pattern behind your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

Progesterone is often described as the “pregnancy hormone,” but its role in the body goes far beyond our concept of 'preparing the uterus for pregnancy'. Progesterone's influence informs many different systems within our bodies.In this episode, we explore progesterone from a wider perspective — looking at how this hormone relates to the brain, supports the nervous system, helps balance estrogen, and plays a role in metabolism and thyroid function. Rather than acting in isolation, progesterone is part of a broader hormonal ecosystem that influences how the body regulates stress, energy, and overall wellbeing.You'll learn how progesterone is produced in the menstrual cycle, why the luteal phase is a particularly sensitive time for the body, and how modern lifestyle factors can influence progesterone levels.We'll also explore a few practical ways to begin supporting progesterone naturally, through nervous system regulation, nutrition, and creating the conditions that allow hormonal rhythms to function well.INSIDE THIS EPISODE:What progesterone is and how it's produced in the bodyWhy progesterone rises after ovulation during the luteal phaseThe relationship between progesterone, the brain, and the calming neurotransmitter GABAHow progesterone interacts with estrogen and why balance between the two mattersCommon symptoms that can arise when progesterone and estrogen are out of harmonyProgesterone's connection to metabolism, body temperature, and thyroid activityWhy the luteal phase can be a more stress-sensitive time for the bodyHow modern lifestyle factors can impact progesterone productionGentle ways to begin supporting progesterone and hormonal balanceEPISODE RESOURCES:Nuanced NaturopathsArc WomanEpisode: 142 Grounding: The Body, Electrons & Our Dialogue With the Earth on Apple or SpotifyRemember to Subscribe, Rate and Review to help the show!Every form of support is appreciated!

Have you ever had one of those moments where your child completely loses it over the wrong cup, a sibling getting too close, or one tiny thing at the end of the day? It can feel like they are actually mad at you- or their sibling. But actually, rude, defiant, or shutdown behavior might actually have a lot more to do with sensory overwhelm and a nervous system that's simply run out of capacity and almost NOTHING to do with how mad they are because you gave them the wrong cup. In this episode, you'll learn:Why behaviors like sass, sibling aggression, and “you never listen!” can look relational but actually begin with sensory stress in the bodyHow everyday sensory input like noise, lights, smells, textures, movement, and school environments can chip away at your child's window of tolerance?Why noticing your child's sensory world can help you respond with more clarity, less personalization, and more support for regulationResources mentioned in this podcast:When Parenting Triggers Your Own Trauma Part 1 of 6 {EP 250}Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior {EP 84}Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior webinar & eBookRead the full transcript at:RobynGobbel.com/traumashapednervoussystemUnderneath every behavior is something happening in the body, specifically in the nervous system.

In this episode, Jin Ong explores why being specific is essential when it comes to processing your emotions. Rather than trying to “release anger” or “clear sadness” in a vague, general way, Jin explains why it's far more powerful to work with concrete experiences, memories, events, and interactions where those emotions first arose but were never fully expressed. Jin shares how true healing happens when we gently revisit these specific moments and finally give our emotions the time, space, and safety they didn't have at the time. She also announces some exciting new changes to how you can enter the Release world, including more integration support before live rounds begin. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why trying to “process anger” or “release sadness” in general often isn't enoughThe real reason emotions like anger, sadness, guilt, shame, and fear get stored in the bodyHow unprocessed emotions can manifest physically, mentally, behaviourally, energetically, or spirituallyCommon reasons you didn't process emotions at the time: The difference between: Processing on an emotional state (e.g. anger, sadness) Processing on a specific experience, memory, or interaction Why specificity makes emotional work more tangible, grounded, and effective About Release – Jin's Signature Emotional Processing Program Release is Jin's signature program where she teaches you how to process your emotions through specific experiences, rather than staying in vague emotional labels. Inside a live support round, you'll: Share your history at a level that feels comfortable for youHave Jin interpret your experiences and highlight which releases to work onBe guided toward the most appropriate cheat sheets and process variationsMove through your releases with support, integration, and a sense of safety Jin describes what happens for people in Release as “just magic”—because when you finally process the experiences that shaped you, everything else can begin to shift.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Dr. Vassily Eliopoulous, MD a former ER physician turned regenerative and longevity medicine expert for a bold conversation about what is broken in modern healthcare and what is quietly replacing it.After years inside emergency medicine, Dr. Vass hit a moment that forced him to confront a hard truth: the system is built to manage crises, not create health. From hospital incentive structures to medical education shaped by patentable therapies, they expose why prevention, metabolic health, peptides, stem cells, and bioidentical hormones remain on the margins.This episode dives into regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy, GLP-1s beyond weight loss, immune resilience, the energetic drivers of disease, and why AI may amplify the need for true human connection in medicine.If you have ever felt like “standard of care” is missing something, this conversation explains why and what comes next.What You'll Learn:The ER moment that made Dr. Vass walk away from conventional medicineWhy hospitals are financially rewarded for procedures, not preventionThe hidden reason non-patentable therapies rarely get taughtWhat peptides (BPC-157, thymosin, GHK-Cu) actually do in the bodyHow stem cells heal tissue and whether they increase cancer riskWhy metabolic dysfunction drives cancer and chronic diseaseThe overlooked role of stress and immune suppression in illnessEpisode Timeline:01:00 Meet Dr. Vass: From ER Physician to Regenerative Medicine Pioneer02:00 Risk, flow state, and longevity07:30 The dark truth about ER medicine10:26 Dr. Jenn's “this system is broken” moment14:07 Dr. Vass' breaking point (and why he left)20:21 Why doctors are not trained in prevention23:13 Patentable medicine and the education pipeline42:15 Patients are forcing the shift47:56 AI, the future of doctors, and the art of medicine57:40 Stress, immunity, and the energetic side of disease01:00:36 Peptides, explained simply01:17:38 Stem cells: what they do and what the data suggests01:29:04 Where to find Dr. Vass + closingWhere to find Dr. Vassily Eliopoulous, MD:Website: longevityhealth.clinic/Instagram: www.instagram.com/dr.vassily/To talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with Dr. Jenn visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/clarity-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

If you struggle with people-pleasing and losing yourself in relationships, this episode with Ingrid Clayton, a licensed clinical psychologist and expert in relational trauma, about her book Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back, is a conversation that can help you understand and transform patterns holding you back. Exploring fawning, which is a lesser-known trauma response shaped by caretaking, appeasement, and self-abandonment, you'll learn how it often shows up as anxiety and hypervigilance. And, through personal and client stories, you'll gain insights on reclaiming authenticity, navigating backlash, and starting the process of “unfawning.”Listen and Learn:Why do some people cope with relational trauma by becoming overly accommodating or pleasing?How people-pleasing might actually be your nervous system choosing safety in ways that once protected you, but could now be quietly shaping your identity and relationships without you realizing it, and what it actually takes to reconnect with who you areHow chronic fawning can look like emotional strength on the outside while quietly disconnecting you from your own anxiety and bodyHow what looks like dishonesty can actually be a survival response that once kept you safe, and what it takes to notice when it starts keeping you stuckHow tuning into what you notice in your body can be the first uncomfortable but powerful step to breaking people-pleasing patterns and building more authentic relationshipsWhy red flags can feel like home after emotional abuse and how learning to trust your own resentment might be the first step toward building a truly safe relationshipResources:Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9798217045327 Ingrid's Website: https://www.ingridclayton.com/ Connect with Ingrid on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ingridclaytonphd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IngridClaytonPhD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingridclaytonphd/ Substack: https://substack.com/@ingridclaytonphd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PvWTgJMirURfgHWj3h28g About Ingrid ClaytonDr. Ingrid Clayton is a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's in transpersonal psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.

Do you ever struggle with shame, pain, numbness, or disconnection in your sex life?So many of us have done inner child work, attachment work, and therapy for our mental health — but we've never applied that same lens to our sexuality. Cultural conditioning, religious messaging, porn, performance pressure, trauma, and body shame all shape how safe (or unsafe) we feel in intimacy. And often, it's our sexual selves that become fragmented.In this episode, I'm joined by trauma-informed somatic sex educator and Erotic Wholeness coach Darshana Avila (featured on Goop's podcast and TV show) to explore how to heal sexual shame, navigating painful sex, ways to deepen intimacy, and confidently asking for the pleasure you actually want. Darshana has dedicated her career to helping people tune in to their truth, desires, and authentic relationships. Her work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, and she's spent over a decade guiding people out of the cultural patterns that keep them stuck.This conversation explores sex and the erotic not as performance, but as attunement, embodiment, and healing.Tune in to hear:What Erotic Wholeness actually meansHow trauma and upbringing impact desire and shutdownWhy so many women experience painful sex — and what might be happening physiologically and emotionallyWhy orgasms can feel difficult or inconsistentHow to feel more confident and comfortable in your bodyHow to give feedback in bed without shame or conflictWhat to do when you “don't even know what you like”How to slow down, build anticipation, and deepen attunementWhy presence and nervous system regulation are key to better sexFollow Darshana on her website and Instagram.For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Over the last few weeks, the constant exposure to human suffering, injustice, and horrifying information has felt like an avalanche. If you've been taking this in through social media and the news like I have, you might notice yourself swinging between obsessing and shutting down, or believing that if you look away or take a break, it means you don't care. In this episode, I share what helped me understand what was actually happening in my nervous system and why feeling overwhelmed doesn't mean you're broken. It means your body was never meant to hold all of this. Here's what I cover:An Instagram post that helped me understand how the overwhelm we're living through impacts the bodyHow flooding ourselves with horrific information without containment destabilizes our nervous systemsWhy empathy and good girl conditioning can turn caring into self-sacrificeThree things to pay attention to so we can stay connected to the truth without losing ourselvesWhat it looks like to give yourself permission to decide what level of engagement is right for youFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

In this episode, Debi Robinson welcomes Chris Burres, a scientist and longevity researcher, for a fascinating conversation about mitochondrial health and why it plays such a critical role in aging, energy, balance, and bone health.While mitochondria are often described as “the powerhouse of the cell,” this episode explores what that really means as we age. Chris explains how oxidative stress and chronic inflammation damage mitochondria over time, accelerating aging and contributing to issues like muscle weakness, poor recovery, balance problems, and bone loss.This conversation connects the dots between cellular health and functional aging, reinforcing a core message of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle: bone loss does not happen in isolation — it reflects what's happening throughout the body at the cellular level.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat mitochondria actually do in the bodyHow oxidative stress accelerates agingWhy inflammation impacts energy, muscles, and bonesThe connection between mitochondrial health and balanceHow cellular stress contributes to bone lossWhy recovery and resilience decline with ageWhat longevity research teaches us about healthy agingAction Steps You Can Take TodayReduce oxidative stress by prioritizing sleep and recovery.Support inflammation balance through anti-inflammatory foods.Move consistently, not excessively, to support mitochondrial function.Manage stress intentionally, as chronic stress damages cellular health.Focus on balance and coordination, not just strength.Think cellular first when addressing bone health concerns.Resources & LinksVisit Chris's page and receive $30 off any product: https://www.myvitalc.com/strongerbonesStronger Bones Lifestyle resources: https://debirobinson.comLearn more about Chris Burres and longevity research (as discussed in the episode): https://www.sesres.com/author/chrisburres/Debi's TakeawayHealthy aging starts at the cellular level. When mitochondria are supported and oxidative stress is reduced, the body becomes more resilient — muscles recover better, balance improves, inflammation quiets, and bones are better protected.Bone health isn't just about density. It's about energy, coordination, and cellular integrity — and mitochondria are at the center of it all.

In this episode of Macros Made Easy, I'm sharing something more personal than usual. I'm walking you through what pregnancy is teaching me about midlife, menopause, and body autonomy, and why moving through two seasons in a changing one body has reshaped how I think about food, training, and trust.At first glance, pregnancy and menopause seem like opposites, but living in both worlds has shown me how similar they actually feel. In two seasons that look very different on paper, the body gets louder, hormones take the lead, and the old rules stop working. When you are living in one body that is changing without asking for permission, trying to maintain a controlling diet only creates more frustration and disconnection.I talk about how pregnancy has forced me to let go of a controlling diet mindset and lean fully into flexible dieting instead. Eating more without attaching meaning to it. Training for function instead of aesthetics. Resting without guilt. These same shifts are exactly what midlife women need as hormones change and the body stops responding to restriction.This episode explores why body autonomy matters more than ever during hormonal transitions. True body autonomy is not about forcing your body into submission. It is about learning how to partner with your body during two seasons of change while honoring that you are still living in one body that deserves care, nourishment, and respect.I also explain why flexible dieting is often the missing piece for women navigating midlife and menopause. A controlling diet increases stress when hormones are already elevated. flexible dieting creates structure without rigidity and support without punishment. When you shift away from a controlling diet and toward flexible dieting, your body can finally exhale.Throughout the episode, I connect my pregnancy experience to what I see daily in midlife women who feel confused, frustrated, or disconnected from their bodies. When you are moving through two seasons in the same one body, the goal is not control. The goal is trust. That is where body autonomy begins.In this episode, I cover:Why pregnancy and menopause feel surprisingly similar inside the bodyHow a controlling diet backfires during hormonal transitionsWhy flexible dieting supports energy, recovery, and resilienceHow to rebuild body autonomy when the old rules stop workingWhat it means to care for one body through two seasons of changeIf your body feels unfamiliar lately, this episode is for you. Whether you are navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply a new season in your health, learning to release a controlling diet, embrace flexible dieting, and rebuild body autonomy is how you move forward with confidence in the same one body, even as you pass through two seasons.

If you're a woman over 40 who works out consistently-but your body isn't changing the way you expect-this episode is for you.Because the problem usually isn't effort. It's random workouts.In this episode, I'm breaking down what I would NOT do if I were trying to build muscle, lift my booty, and see real results after 40, and why lifting inconsistently without a progressive plan keeps so many women stuck.We're talking about:Why constantly changing workouts prevents muscle growthThe mistake of lifting the same weights week after weekWhy “sweaty” doesn't mean “effective” for shaping your bodyHow random intensity and no recovery backfire in perimenopauseThe real reason consistency feels so hard without structureYou'll learn how periodization and progressive overload actually work, why your body craves planned phases now more than ever, and how intentional strength training-not punishment-is what drives results in midlife.This episode also gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the philosophy behind my Booty + Strength Reset-a structured, progressive lifting program designed specifically for women 40+ who are ready to stop guessing and start training with purpose.If you're done winging your workouts and ready to lift smarter, this episode will change how you approach strength training.

So many people come to me feeling completely stuck.They've tried everything — every diet, every supplement, every practitioner, every protocol. They track. They monitor. They micromanage. They try harder.And yet… their blood sugar still isn't improving.In this episode, I want to share a pattern I see over and over again with the people who are struggling the most — and it might surprise you.Fear.Not fear as weakness — but fear as a state the body is living in.When we approach our health from fear — fear of food, fear of symptoms, fear of getting it wrong, fear of our own bodies — we create an internal environment that is not safe enough for healing.And the body will not heal in a state of constant surveillance.In This Episode, We Talk About:Why the most “complex” blood sugar cases often have nothing to do with foodHow fear shows up as micromanagement, self-surveillance, and over-interventionWhy constantly tracking, fixing, and correcting can keep you stuckHow the nervous system and mitochondria respond to perceived threatThe connection between suppressed emotions and physical symptomsWhy perfectionism, people-pleasing, and high-achieving traits show up so often in blood sugar issuesHow fear around food, toxins, carbs, and supplements can backfireThe difference between healing from fear vs healing from loveWhat it actually means to “come from a place of love” with your bodyHow self-compassion, curiosity, and patience change the healing processWhy symptoms can sometimes be your body setting boundaries for youHow emotional safety plays a role in blood sugar regulationTODAY'S SPONSOR:Qualia Life: Head to qualialife.com/DANI and use the code DANI to get a discount!Book a call with me to learn more about the program: https://calendly.com/daniellehamiltonhealth/discoverycall Enroll today! https://dhhealth.showitpreview.com/blood-sugar-mastery STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:

What happens when we keep going, keep functioning, keep showing up while our nervous system quietly remains stuck in survival mode?In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Petra Brunnbauer, Mind Body Coach, founder of the Jōrni wellbeing platform, host of the globally ranked Jōrni Podcast, and author of The Functional Freeze Formula. With a Master's degree in Psychology and ongoing doctoral research in Mind-Body Medicine, Petra brings both scientific rigor and deep humanity to the conversation about chronic stress and healing.This was a conversation I truly enjoyed, and one I personally needed. I learned so much. Petra has a rare ability to name what so many people are living without turning it into pathology or self-blame. She helps us understand how long-term stress affects us across mental, emotional, physical, and energetic levels, and why so many capable, caring people find themselves functioning on the outside while feeling shut down, exhausted, or disconnected within.Together, we explore the concept of Functional Freeze, the misunderstandings about stress that keep us stuck in survival, and what becomes possible when we approach wellbeing as foundational rather than something we attend to only in crisis. We also talk about why traditional stress management often falls short, and what a truly holistic path out of chronic stress can look like.This is a conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that pushing through is no longer sustainable and that a more humane, integrated way of living and leading is being called forward.Key TakeawaysWhat Functional Freeze is and why so many people live in it without realizingHow chronic stress impacts us across mind, emotions, body, and energyCommon myths about stress that keep people functioning while remaining in survivalWhy traditional stress management often misses the root of the issueWhat shifts when we begin to understand and listen to the bodyHow wellbeing can become a foundation for life and leadership, not a crisis responseYou can learn more about Petra and her work through the Jōrni wellbeing platform and her book The Functional Freeze Formula. And if this conversation resonates, I invite you to listen slowly.

How many of the beliefs shaping your identity as a woman are truly yours, and how many were planted by a culture that profits from your self-doubt? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Amanda Hanson, Psychologist, Author, and Transformative Speaker, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 786, to explore why so many women feel broken inside a culture designed to keep them small, how beliefs from our lineage shape identity, how aging awakens feminine truth, and what it means to become a woman who leads from grounded power instead of inherited pain.
