Send a text for comments or topics ideas! Have you ever felt like your body suddenly changed after 40?Your skin looks different. Your metabolism doesn't seem to respond the way it used to. Stress hits harder. Recovery takes longer. And the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s don't always work anymore.In this episode of the Direction Not Perfection Podcast, Lindsey sits down with Jonathan Carp, MD, a dermatologist and lifestyle medicine physician, to explore what may be happening beneath the surface.Dr. Carp takes a practical, sustainable approach to health and focuses on the connection between skin health, nutrition, stress physiology, aging, and lifestyle. His perspective challenges us to look beyond quick fixes and become more informed participants in our own health.Together, Lindsey and Dr. Carp explore why aging can feel so different after 40—and what our skin may be able to teach us about the aging process as a whole.

Cell Signaling, Mitochondria & the Foundation of Cellular Health with Dr. Gus VickeryWhat if the reason you feel tired, foggy, inflamed, or simply not quite like yourself begins much deeper than you think—at the level of your cells?In this episode of The Healthy CEO, Jason Wright welcomes back physician and Authentic Health co-founder Dr. Gus Vickery for a deep dive into one of the most fundamental—and often overlooked—components of health: cell signaling.Our cells aren't isolated little machines. They're constantly communicating with one another, responding to nutrients, hormones, inflammation, stress, toxins, the nervous system, and even our thoughts and environment. When those signals are clear and the cellular machinery is functioning properly, the body can adapt and perform remarkably well.But when those signaling pathways become disrupted, the effects can show up everywhere.Dr. Vickery explains how impaired cellular function can manifest as fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, anxiety, poor sleep, reduced cognitive performance, aches and pains, and diminished energy—sometimes long before someone develops a diagnosable disease.Jason and Gus also explore the crucial role of the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures inside our cells. Using the analogy of a car and its engine, they break down why mitochondrial efficiency isn't simply about producing more energy. The health and integrity of mitochondrial membranes can profoundly influence how effectively that energy-production system operates.The conversation then moves to another overlooked part of cellular health: the cell membrane.Rather than simply being a protective wall around a cell, the membrane is an active participant in communication and signaling. Its composition—including omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and other nutrients—can influence membrane fluidity, inflammatory signaling and cellular function.Dr. Vickery explains how testing can reveal imbalances in membrane composition, including low omega-3 levels, elevated saturated fats and deficiencies in important phospholipids. He also discusses why lifestyle and environmental factors appear to play such an important role in mitochondrial dysfunction, even when genetics influence an individual's underlying resilience.The episode concludes with the origin story behind Authentic Health's F2 formulation. Gus explains how years of clinical experience led him from simply supplementing omega-3s to thinking more comprehensively about phospholipids, fat-soluble nutrients, CoQ10 and the other components necessary to support membrane and mitochondrial health.The result was an attempt to simplify what had previously required numerous individual supplements into a more integrated foundational approach.In This EpisodeWhat cell signaling actually means and why it mattersHow cells communicate within tissues and throughout the bodyWhy disrupted signaling may appear as fatigue, brain fog, inflammation and poor moodThe difference between dysfunction and diseaseWhy mitochondrial dysfunction can occur before diagnosable diseaseThe "car engine" analogy for understanding mitochondrial healthWhy mitochondrial membranes are critical to energy productionHow damaged or dysfunctional membranes may reduce mitochondrial efficiencyWhy the cell membrane is much more than a protective shellUnderstanding membrane fluidityThe role of omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHAWhy phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine matterHow saturated fats and fatty-acid composition affect membrane structureGenetics vs. lifestyle in mitochondrial dysfunctionHow Dr. Vickery evaluates mitochondrial and cellular healthThe difference between conventional primary care and a more integrative diagnostic approachWhy nutrient insufficiency can exist even before obvious deficiency or diseaseThe importance of reducing harmful exposures while restoring essential nutrientsHow Gus's clinical protocol evolved into the F2 essential fats formulationWhy rebuilding cellular and mitochondrial health should be viewed as a long-term process rather than a quick fixKey TakeawayHealth doesn't begin with treating disease. It begins with giving the body what it needs to communicate, produce energy, repair itself and adapt appropriately.As Dr. Vickery explains, dysfunction can exist long before a physician can put a diagnostic label on it. Addressing foundational cellular health earlier may offer an opportunity to support better function before dysfunction becomes more deeply established.And that means thinking beyond symptoms and asking a more fundamental question:What do my cells actually need to function the way they were designed to function?About Dr. Gus VickeryDr. Gus Vickery is a physician with decades of clinical experience whose work has evolved from traditional primary care toward an integrative, precision-health approach focused on understanding and addressing the underlying drivers of dysfunction.His clinical experience and research into nutrient status, mitochondrial biology and cellular membrane health also informed the development of the Authentic Health foundational formulations discussed in this episode.Learn MoreTo learn more about the Authentic Health foundational products discussed during the episode, visit shopauthentichealth.com.The content provided in The Healthy CEO is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Fiber, Fermentation, and the Gut MicrobiomeHealthcare practitioners can request free samples of NeuroFiber hereWe're all guilty of telling patients to “eat more fiber,” but that recommendation is often too basic. Fiber type, diversity, tolerance, and the patient's specific health goal all matter.In this sponsored episode, with support from NeuroFiber, you'll learn why relying on one isolated fiber may not provide the same benefits as eating a variety of fiber-rich foods and how to give patients more practical, targeted guidance.Key takeaways:A better way to classify different types of fiberHow viscosity and fermentability affect what fiber does in the bodyWhy fiber diversity may help support microbiome diversityHow to make fiber recommendations more specific and practicalWhen a convenient fiber product can help bridge the gapThis episode was sponsored by NeuroFiber, a bar that provides 11 grams of fiber from 14 prebiotic and whole-food fiber sources, including a five-fiber prebiotic blend. NeuroFiber bars are gluten-free and made with real, whole food ingredients. Their formula was developed to support digestive health, microbiome diversity, and the gut-brain axis while offering a convenient option for patients who struggle to consistently meet their fiber needs through food alone.Any Questions?

Text us a comment or question!What if one of the biggest reasons you're struggling to lose weight... is because you've been trying to eat too little?In this special Behind the Book episode, I'm sharing Chapter 2 of my upcoming book, Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life. This chapter tackles one of the biggest lies we've been taught about weight loss - that getting healthy means living on salads, tiny portions, and constant hunger.If you've spent years believing that the hungrier you are, the better your diet is working, this episode may completely change the way you think about nutrition.You'll discover why so many diets work... until they don't... and why building a healthy body requires a completely different mindset than simply trying to become smaller.This isn't about giving you permission to eat junk food.It's about learning to fuel your body instead of fighting against it.In this episode you'll discover:Why "being good" with food often leads to late-night binge eatingThe hidden danger of the "Rabbit Food Trap"Why hunger is not a sign that your diet is workingThe critical difference between losing weight and building a healthy bodyWhy restriction creates short-term results—but often long-term frustrationHow decades of dieting can leave you feeling like your body is working against youWhy your body is actually trying to protect you—not sabotage youThe powerful mindset shift from thinking like a dieter to thinking like a builder I'd Love Your Feedback!This book is still being written, and your feedback genuinely matters.Did something resonate?Was something confusing?Did a particular story or idea hit home?Email me directly at coach@silveredgefitness.com. I personally read every email, and your feedback may help shape the final version of Fully Alive before it goes to print.Enjoying the Behind the Book series?Please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who's tired of dieting, tired of starting over, and ready to build a body that will serve them for the rest of their life.And if you know someone who's been trapped in the endless cycle of eating less, losing weight, regaining it, and starting over... send them this episode. It might be the perspective shift they've been waiting for. Next Episode

Send us Fan MailIn Part 2 of our conversation with Jonathan Jarecki, we move beyond the basic advice to “get more sunlight” and dive deeply into the emerging science of how light interacts with our mitochondria, cellular water, circulation, and circadian biology.Jonathan begins by challenging the familiar explanation that ATP is simply the “energy currency” of the cell. Drawing from the work of researchers such as Gilbert Ling and Gerald Pollack, he explores another possibility: ATP may play a crucial role in organizing water and building exclusion-zone—or EZ—water inside the body.We then examine how red and near-infrared light may support mitochondrial function. Jonathan explains proposed mechanisms involving cytochrome c oxidase, ATP synthase, electron flow through the mitochondrial electron transport chain, nitric oxide, and the production of subcellular melatonin. He also discusses why the absence of infrared light—and the abundance of isolated blue light—in modern indoor environments may place additional stress on our mitochondria.The conversation also takes an honest look at red-light therapy devices. Are high-intensity panels always better, or could the lower intensity and balanced spectrum of natural sunlight be more biologically appropriate? Jonathan shares his concerns about extremely powerful devices, explains how distance can reduce intensity, and discusses simple alternatives such as incandescent bulbs and reflected near-infrared light.We also explore the often-demonized ultraviolet portion of sunlight. Jonathan discusses vitamin D as a possible marker of sun exposure rather than the sole reason sunlight is associated with better health outcomes. He explains how UVA stimulates nitric oxide release, why that matters for blood pressure and circulation, and what research suggests about regular sun exposure, melanoma mortality, cardiovascular health, and other cancers.Finally, Jonathan offers realistic ways to create a more light-supportive lifestyle even if you work indoors or are not ready for direct midday sun.In this episode, we discuss:What mitochondria do and why they are essential to nearly every cell in the bodyWhether ATP is truly the body's cellular energy currencyGilbert Ling's ideas about ATP and cellular waterGerald Pollack's research into exclusion-zone waterHow infrared light may affect electron flow and ATP productionCytochrome c oxidase, ATP synthase and the mitochondrial membrane potentialHow near-infrared light penetrates deeply into the bodyWhy trees and green spaces create infrared-rich environmentsWhether infrared light can penetrate clothingNatural fibers versus synthetic fabricsThe mitochondrial effects of isolated blue lightSubcellular melatonin and the body's antioxidant defensesRed-light therapy panels versus natural sunlightWhy more intensity may not always produce better resultsIncandescent bulbs as a simple source of red and infrared lightWhy vitamin D supplements do not fully reproduce sunlight exposureUVA, nitric oxide, blood pressure and cardiovascular healthThe difference between chronic, regular sun exposure and intermittent burningSun exposure, melanoma mortality and other cancer risksWhy reductionist studies may fail to capture the full effects of sunlightMorning light and nighttime darkness as the foundations of circadian healthPractical ways to improve your light environment at home and workThe science may be complex, but the central message is beautifully simple: our bodies developed in relationship with the full spectrum of natural light. Improving that relationship does not have to involve an expensive device or a complete lifestyle overhaul. It can begin with stepping outside in the morning, welcoming more natural light into the day, and allowing true darkness to return at night.Connect with Jonathan Jarecki:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathanjarecki/ X: https://x.com/jonathanjarecki Youtube/Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@thesignalwithjonathanjarecki Substack: https://jonathanjarecki.substack.com/ Support the showFind Heather:Book with HeatherHeather's Free Product Guide with Discount CodesHeather's Instagram Find Vanessa:Vanessa's Instagram Vanessa's Website Free Product Guide with Discount CodesFree Homeopathy at Home Guide 

Could the way you relate to yourself be affecting your experience of persistent pain?In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon speaks with Lindsay Little about the complex relationship between physical pain, emotional pain and self-love. Drawing on her own experience of serious illness, autoimmune disease and feeling disconnected from her body, Lindsay explains how her health crisis led her to explore massage, somatic practices and the deeper messages held within the body.Together, Leigh and Lindsay discuss why physical and emotional pain cannot always be separated, how a lack of self-love may influence the way we care for ourselves, and why healing may require more than treating symptoms alone.They also explore how chronic stress, unresolved emotions, personal boundaries and our need to feel loved can affect our physical and emotional well-being. Lindsay shares practical ways to begin cultivating self-love, including identifying how you prefer to receive love, becoming more mindful of your needs, establishing healthier boundaries and making space for meaningful self-care.In this episode, you'll discover:How Lindsay's experience with autoimmune disease changed her relationship with her bodyWhy physical and emotional pain are often deeply interconnectedHow unresolved emotional experiences may contribute to persistent symptomsWhy self-love is about more than positive thinking or pampering yourselfHow your personal “love languages” can be applied to self-careWhy healthy boundaries are an essential expression of self-respectHow mindfulness and somatic awareness can help you reconnect with your bodyPractical first steps towards developing a more supportive relationship with yourselfIf you have persistent pain and feel that something important has been overlooked, this conversation offers a compassionate invitation to listen to your body, explore your emotional needs and consider healing from a whole-person perspective.Connect with Lindsay LittleSomaLingua:https://somalingua.com/Connect with Leigh BrandonBeyond The Pain paperback:https://amzn.to/4y2HVWgBeyond The Pain ebook:https://amzn.to/4y0lH78Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme:https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Free Pain-Free Plate Guide:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

What if the reason your hives keep coming back has nothing to do with what you ate, touched, or put on your skin?When itchy welts appear without warning, it is natural to start searching for an external trigger. But chronic hives are often not an allergy problem at all.In this episode, I explain what is actually happening inside the body when hives appear, what helps, and why there is a genuine reason for hope for people with chronic urticaria.What You'll Discover In This Episode Why chronic hives aren't always an allergic reaction How mast cells act like an oversensitive fire alarm inside the bodyWhy antihistamines don't work equally well for every patientWhy stress can intensify symptoms without being the original causeThe vicious cycle between itching, poor sleep, and increased inflammationWhy eliminating more foods is not always the answerThe lifestyle habits that can support treatment without replacing medicationWhy good medicine is not about ordering every available testAbout Your HostHosted by Dr. Deepa Grandon, MD, MBA, a triple board-certified physician with over 23 years of experience working as a Physician Consultant for influential organizations worldwide.

What if the life you've been chasing was never actually yours?In this inspiring episode of Living the Good Life, Kimberly Henrie welcomes Mia Dins, whose remarkable journey begins in a tiny farming village of just 80 people in Germany and unfolds into a life of worldwide travel, healing, and personal transformation. Today, Mia lives a fully nomadic lifestyle, traveling through house and pet sitting while helping people reconnect with themselves through intuition, embodied awareness, and what she calls Quantum Embodiment. But this conversation isn't simply about spirituality—it's about having the courage to question expectations, embrace change, and create a life that reflects who you truly are.Along the way, Kimberly and Mia explore:Growing up in a village of only 80 people in rural GermanyCreating a life without borders through travel and house sittingThe surprising freedom and practicality of a nomadic lifestyleHealing from childhood trauma and life's unexpected challengesLearning to trust your intuition and the wisdom of your bodyWhy personal reinvention is possible at any stage of lifeThe importance of asking one simple but life-changing question: "What do I really want?"Whether you're dreaming of traveling the world, considering a major life change, or simply wondering if there's another path waiting for you, Mia's story is a powerful reminder that the good life isn't found by following someone else's map—it's created one courageous decision at a time.Connect with Mia Dins

In this episode of Fly to Freedom, I'm joined by Beverley Atkins, a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and founder of Pauseture, a somatic movement platform helping people reconnect with their bodies through gentle, guided movement.This conversation feels especially important for anyone navigating anorexia recovery, eating disorder recovery, compulsive exercise, body mistrust, or nervous system dysregulation.Many people in eating disorder recovery spend years trying to think their way to healing.Trying to understand more.Trying to control more.Trying to get recovery “right”.And yet the body can still feel unsafe, uncomfortable, noisy, or impossible to trust.What if healing does not always begin with thinking harder?What if healing can begin by learning to notice the body differently?Beverley shares her own deeply personal story of growing up in a larger body, beginning dieting as a child, and spending decades trapped in yo-yo dieting and all-or-nothing patterns around food.In her 30s, that shifted into extreme exercise.She completed three marathons in 18 months, countless triathlons, and eventually Ironman Hawaii in 2009.Looking back, Beverley now understands how undiagnosed ADHD shaped much of her experience.The food noise.The hyperfocus.The perfectionism.The all-or-nothing patterns.The nervous system dysregulation.Everything made more sense through that lens.In 2014, while working at Facebook in a high-pressure environment, her body forced a stop when her back gave out completely.That crisis led her to Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement — a gentle, audio-guided somatic practice she initially tried for pain relief.What she found was something much deeper.This work gradually transformed her relationship with:Her bodyFoodExerciseEmotional regulationSafetySelf-awarenessIn this conversation, we explore:How eating disorders disconnect us from the bodyWhy compulsive exercise often becomes a coping strategyThe link between ADHD and disordered eating patternsWhy meditation can feel unbearable for dysregulated nervous systemsHow somatic movement offers a gentler doorway into healingWhy curiosity is one of recovery's most powerful toolsThe difference between body judgement and body awarenessHow the brain rewires through novelty, attention, and safe explorationOne of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Beverley's perspective on body image.She explains that healing did not begin with loving her body.It began with something much simpler.Paying attention without judgement.Not fixing.Not forcing.Not criticising.Just noticing.And sometimes that neutral attention is where healing begins.This episode is especially for you if:You feel disconnected from your bodyRest feels uncomfortable or frighteningStillness makes you anxiousYou struggle with compulsive movement or exercise addictionRecovery feels stuck in overthinkingYou long to feel safer in your bodyRecovery does not always require more force.Sometimes it asks for less.Less fighting.Less judgement.Less performance.And more curiosity.Instagram: @pausetureFacebook: Pauseture on FacebookWebsite: PausetureIf this episode helped you, please share it with someone who may need it.For deeper support in recovery, come and explore The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle, my recovery membership offering expert guidance, practical tools, courses, workshops, and compassionate community support.You can also find me at Julia Trehane CoachingThank you for listening.With love,Julia xConnect with Beverley Atkins

Have you ever felt like you're failing at everything?Like you're constantly trying harder, doing more and still feeling like you're falling behind?In this powerful Motherkind Moment, GP and burnout expert Dr Claire Ashley shares the moment she realised she wasn't failing as a mother, doctor or partner - she was experiencing burnout.Together, Zoe and Claire unpack why so many mothers blame themselves instead of recognising the signs of burnout, how stress affects both the brain and body, and why working harder often makes things worse.Claire shares the emotional and physical symptoms she wishes she'd recognised sooner, explains why burnout can take years to recover from, and offers practical advice for spotting the warning signs before you reach crisis point.If you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or wondering why you just can't seem to cope anymore, this conversation will remind you that you're not failing - you may simply be carrying too much.

Have you ever been so stressed that your body made the decision for you?That's where I've been.After weeks of traveling, family responsibilities, unexpected car problems, and trying to make sure my daughter was ready for her next chapter at Xavier University, I hit a wall. My shoulders were tight. My brain was foggy. I couldn't relax. I didn't even realize how run down I was until my body finally said, "Enough."In this honest, unfiltered episode, I'm not showing up at my best. I'm showing up as I am. We talk about what happens when stress stops being something you think about and starts becoming something you physically carry.I also share some of the simple things that helped me begin calming my nervous system, from Epsom salt baths and cold showers to magnesium, music frequencies, and something we don't give ourselves enough of... permission to slow down.This isn't about having all the answers.It's about learning to listen before your body forces you to.In this episode, we talk about:What it feels like when chronic stress takes over your bodyWhy your nervous system deserves as much attention as your mindsetThe difference between surviving stress and recovering from itSimple practices that helped me finally relaxWhy baby steps still count when you're running on emptyLearning to recognize your body's warning signs before they become a crisisThis week's D.A.M.N. ChallengeTry one thing this week that's outside of your normal routine to help regulate your nervous system.Maybe it's a walk outside.Maybe it's an Epsom salt bath.Maybe it's deep breathing, stretching, meditation, or simply putting your phone down for twenty minutes.Whatever it is, give yourself permission to pause.Your body has been talking to you.It's about DAMN time you listened.If this episode encouraged you, send it to someone who's been carrying more than they're letting on.Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and follow the show so you never miss an episode.

For many women over 40, it can feel like the body changed overnight.The same workouts stop working.The same diet no longer creates results.Belly fat feels harder to lose.Cravings get louder.Sleep becomes less predictable.Recovery takes longer.Energy feels different.And when no one explains what is happening, it is easy to blame yourself.In this episode, we talk about why hormone changes, perimenopause, stress, sleep, muscle loss, and recovery all play a bigger role after 40 — and why the old strategy of eating less, doing more cardio, and pushing harder may not work anymore.This is not about your body being broken.It is about your body needing a different strategy.In this episode, we cover:Why your hormones may have changed before you realized itHow hormone shifts can affect energy, cravings, sleep, and fat lossWhy muscle becomes more important after 40Why more restriction and more cardio are not always the answerHow protein, strength training, recovery, and accountability help support your bodyWhy the goal is not just weight loss, but rebuilding strength and confidenceYou are not crazy.You are not lazy.You are not broken.Your hormones changed.Your body changed.And now your strategy has to change too.Ready to stop blaming yourself and start building a smarter strategy after 40?

Emotional flashbacks are one of the most common and most misunderstood experiences in complex trauma. Unlike visual flashbacks, they don't come with images or a clear memory. They arrive as intense feelings, shame, fear, loneliness, helplessness, often with no story attached and no warning.In this episode, Sarah breaks down what emotional flashbacks actually are. You'll learn why insight alone doesn't change the nervous system's predictions, what's happening in your body when each survival part gets activated, and what healing actually requires at the level of the body.In this episode:What emotional flashbacks are and why they're so hard to catchHow implicit memory keeps the past alive in the presentThe four Fs and how each survival part feels in the bodyWhy understanding your trauma isn't the same as healing itWhat ideal caregiver work looks like in trauma therapyA simple practice for when the wave hitsResources mentioned:Emotionally Corrective Experiences episode Understanding Dissociative Parts with Dr. Janina Fisher Pete Walker, Complex PTSD: From Surviving to ThrivingThanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Follow on Instagram: @sarahherstichlcsw Follow on TikTok: @sarahherstichlcswLearn more about EMDR & trauma therapy in Pennsylvania with Reclaim TherapyThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

Send us Fan MailPain can make you want to stop moving.Your knees hurt, so you avoid training.Your back feels stiff, so you skip exercise.Your shoulder hurts, so you think strength training is not for you anymore.But what if stopping completely is not always the answer?In this episode, I'm joined by Eileen Kopsaftis, physical therapist, movement expert, owner of Have Lifelong Wellbeing, and author of Pain Culprits and Aging Culprits.Eileen has over 30 years of experience helping people move better, reduce pain, stay independent, and understand that aging does not have to mean constant decline.We talk about:Why pain does not always mean damageWhy the painful area is often not the real causeHow knee, back, shoulder, and neck pain can be connected to other parts of the bodyWhy stopping movement completely can sometimes make things worseHow to train around pain safelyWhy strength and mobility are key for independence as we ageWhy stairs, getting off the floor, carrying groceries, and daily tasks are real-life fitness testsHow hydration, nutrition, and movement affect stiffness and recoveryWhy aging does not automatically mean becoming weak, stiff, or dependentThis episode is for you if you've ever felt like your body is holding you back, or if you are afraid to exercise because something hurts.The goal is not to ignore pain.The goal is to ask better questions:“What can I still do?”“What can I do safely?”“And where is the real cause coming from?”You can learn more about Eileen's work on her website havelifelongwellbeing.com  where she also has a simple 5-question quiz to help guide you toward the best resources for your specific concern, whether that is pain, balance, mobility, incontinence, or joint issues.If you want help building a training and nutrition routine that fits your real life, check my coaching options here:personaltrainerturo.itTry The Consistency ResetMy new personalized coaching app for women 35–55 who are tired of starting over with diets, workouts, and healthy habits.Get simple daily actions, realistic workouts, practical nutrition habits, and Reset Mode to help you keep going when life gets busy.Take the quiz and build your personalized plan here: studio.com/turo/consistency-reset

Why do some people know exercise is good for them but still struggle to move? Why can something as simple as a workout trigger emotions, fear, shame, or even tears?In this powerful conversation, Coach Alex sits down with trauma-informed health coach and author De Bolton to explore the deep connection between movement, trauma, healing, and Christian stewardship.Together they discuss:How trauma is stored in the bodyWhy movement can feel threatening for some peopleThe relationship between emotional wounds and physical healthThe disconnect between Christianity and body stewardshipWhy food has become the church's most acceptable addictionHow shame impacts our health and habitsThe difference between neglect and obsession in fitnessWhat it means to truly honor your body as God's templeHow to move from performance-based fitness to worship-based stewardshipWhy healing requires reconnecting body, mind, and spiritThis conversation is especially important for anyone who has ever felt stuck, discouraged, ashamed, disconnected from their body, or frustrated by repeated health struggles.God doesn't merely care about your spirit.He created you as a whole person.And learning to steward your body well may be one of the most overlooked aspects of discipleship today.You are loved exactly as you are.And because you are loved, your body is worth stewarding well.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to De Bolton01:10 – Why Movement Changes Your Mood02:00 – How Trauma Gets Stored in the Body04:45 – Why Exercise Can Trigger Old Wounds07:45 – Tears, Emotions, and Physical Release08:45 – Why Christians Are Disconnected From Their Bodies11:20 – Stewardship vs. Fitness Idolatry13:15 – Is Food the Church's Most Accepted Addiction?16:00 – Why Your Body Matters to God18:20 – Where to Start If You Hate Exercise22:00 – The Power of Small Wins24:15 – The Mustard Seed Principle of Growth25:25 – How Fitness Becomes an Idol28:00 – Fitness as Worship30:15 – The Difference Between Performance and Stewardship31:00 – Shame, Healing, and Physical Health33:40 – Grace Removes Shame But Not Responsibility36:15 – The Story Behind The Embodied Beloved38:50 – Knowing God's Love vs. Embodying God's Love40:00 – Reclaim Your Temple Program42:45 – The Four Disciplines: Integrity, Grit, Growth & Awe45:20 – Why Integrity Is the Biggest Struggle46:00 – Rapid Fire Questions47:00 – Music, Movement & Motivation48:00 – Parenting Adult Children50:00 – Final Encouragement from De Bolton51:00 – Closing Prayer

f you feel tired, stuck, weaker, softer, or frustrated with your body after 40, the problem may not be laziness.It may be muscle loss.In this episode, we break down why so many people over 40 blame themselves when their old workouts, diets, and cardio routines stop working. But after 40, your body needs a different strategy — one built around strength, protein, consistency, and muscle protection.This is not about becoming a bodybuilder.It is about rebuilding the body you want to live in.Because muscle is not just about looking toned. Muscle supports your metabolism, blood sugar, energy, balance, confidence, and long-term independence.In this episode, we cover:Why “lazy” is often the wrong label after 40How losing muscle affects metabolism and fat lossWhy eating less and doing more cardio can backfireWhy strength training becomes essential after 40How protein, accountability, and consistency help rebuild your bodyWhy the goal is not just to lose weight, but to get strong againYour body is not broken.Your old plan may have just expired.And it may be time to stop trying to burn your way smaller — and start building your way stronger.Ready to build a stronger body after 40?

If you've spent money on supplements, tried all the “right” things, and still wondered why your body is not responding the way you hoped it would, this episode will help you understand what supplements can realistically do, and what actually determines whether they help.In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore how supplements work biologically, why some people experience major improvements while others feel no difference at all, and why the answer often has less to do with the supplement itself than the condition of the systems it's entering into. Using Dr. Bruce Ames' influential Triage Theory as a foundation, we unpack how even mild nutrient insufficiencies can affect energy production, inflammation, immune regulation, mitochondrial function, and long-term repair processes throughout the body.From there, we break down the deeper science of supplementation, including nutrient bottlenecks, absorption issues, gut health, nutrient interdependence, and why more supplements do not necessarily lead to better outcomes.In this episode, you'll understand:Why supplements sometimes help dramatically, and other times do very littleHow nutrient deficiencies can create hidden bottlenecks in the bodyWhy absorption and gut health matter just as much as what you takeThe difference between isolated nutrients and whole-food-based supplementationHow to approach supplements more strategically and less reactivelyListen now to understand what actually makes supplements effective—and how to support your body in a way that is more targeted, balanced, and biologically grounded.DISCLAIMERThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Every time you've gotten lost in a book, zoned out on a drive, or cried at a movie you've already seen, you're in a special neurological state. And it turns out, that state is one of the most powerful things your nervous system can access. Most of us have just never thought to use it intentionally.That state is hypnosis. Stanford psychiatrist Dr. David Spiegel has spent 45 years researching exactly what it does in the brain and how to use it on demand for stress, pain, anxiety, and sleep.He teaches us a 60-second induction you can use anywhere, explains why your brain has its own internal pharmacy for anxiety relief (no prescription needed), and makes the case for why self-compassion is more neurologically effective for change than self-criticism.This conversation will change how you see what your nervous system is actually capable of.What You'll LearnWhat's actually happening in your brain during hypnosis, including why it turns down your stress response and increases your ability to feel and manage your bodyWhy calming the body first makes you dramatically better at handling whatever the stressor actually isHow your brain naturally produces the same compound that anti-anxiety medications target, and how to access it without a prescriptionWhy self-criticism is neurologically ineffective for change and what the research says works insteadHow to do a basic hypnotic induction in under 60 secondsReveri Self-Hypnosis App: www.reveri.com Use code HighCapacity for a 20% discount!-->>> Register for The Capacity Audit free live workshop June 3rd

Send us Fan MailIf you lead others through uncertainty while privately wondering how to stay grounded yourself, this episode is the most honest conversation you'll see today.What happens when the person usually holding the space… becomes the one being held?This week, join us for a deeply personal episode of The UpLevel Podcast; the script is flipped.For the first time this season, our host Christie Mann fully steps into the client's seat and is coached live by her longtime mentor, dear friend, and master coach, Joni Mar.What unfolds is a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about fear, leadership, uncertainty, and what it means to continue showing up in a rapidly changing environment.As Season 11 centers on stewardship, this episode offers a deeply human example of what it means to embody the work rather than simply discuss it.Together, Christie and Joni move beneath analysis and into embodiment—exploring anxiety around travel, leadership, safety, isolation, responsibility, and the emotional toll of living in a world that feels increasingly volatile.What emerges is a powerful reminder: Leadership isn't about having it all together. It's about staying human enough to remain connected—to ourselves, to others, and to the work we're here to do.In This Episode:What live coaching actually looks and feels likeThe emotional reality many leaders are carrying right nowHow fear and uncertainty show up in the bodyWhy grounding practices matter more than everThe paradox of creating safety while still answering the call to leadWhat it means to steward yourself while stewarding othersAbout Joni:Joni Mar, MCC, CPCC, CNTC, CTICFor more than two decades, Joni Mar has been helping leaders wrestle with a deceptively simple question: Who do I need to become to lead what's next?Known for her warmth, grounded presence, and ability to ask the question beneath the question, she helps leaders uncover the hidden patterns shaping how they think, decide, and lead. Joni believes the most powerful leadership shift is expanding a leader's awareness of who they are being while they lead because the hardest part of leadership isn't strategy, it's identity.A Master Certified Executive Leadership Coach and senior faculty member with the Co-Active Training Institute, Joni has been training coaches since 2003.An early contributor to the global expansion of coaching, Joni introduced Co-Active Coaching to the Hong Kong market and has spent more than a decade working between North America, Asia and Europe, bringing a deeply cross-cultural lens to leadership and human development.A long-time steward of the field, Joni now focuses on supporting the next generation of coaches and helping leaders bring greater wisdom, compassion, and courage into the systems they serve.https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonimar/https://www.instagram.com/joni.mar/

This isn't a conversation about supplements. It's a conversation about energy, clarity, and coming back to life.If you're exhausted, foggy, depleted, or wondering if this is simply what midlife feels like now... this conversation matters.Because I was there too.When I first met Chris Burris, chief scientist and founder of My Vital C, I was still deep in the grief portal, hormonal repair, and a heaviness I didn't have language for yet.And then something began to change.Not overnight. Not magically. But because I was introduced to something that works at the level of the mitochondria, the energy systems inside the body that impact everything from mental clarity and nervous system regulation to sleep, inflammation, vitality, and resilience.Chris has been manufacturing the C60 molecule commercially since 1991, five years before the scientists who discovered it won the Nobel Prize. What began as a scientific pursuit eventually evolved into a wellness breakthrough now getting attention from some of the most trusted voices in biohacking and longevity.But what matters most to me is this: I felt the difference.And then I watched nine women on my retreat feel it too. Three days in, every single one of them noticed a shift. More clarity. More presence. More energy. Better sleep. Less fog. Feeling more like themselves.That's when I knew I needed to bring Chris onto Fire and Soul.In This EpisodeWhy so many women in midlife feel foggy, depleted, and exhaustedThe hidden role mitochondria play in energy, sleep, focus, and resilienceChris's BOSS Theory and how stressed mitochondria impact the whole bodyWhy you take it in the morning and often sleep better at nightThe retreat experience that made me pay attentionSkin changes, energy shifts, and the three-month arc many people experiencePets, longevity research, and the surprising breadth of testimonialsWhat it feels like to finally come back online after depletionAbout Chris BurresChris Burres is the chief scientist and founder of My Vital C and has been manufacturing the C60 molecule commercially since 1991.

In this episode of the Long Covid Podcast, I explore one of the most common — and often most confusing — parts of recovery: overwhelm.Overwhelm can feel like your whole system suddenly says “too much”:too much noise, too many sensations, too many decisions, too many feelings, too much uncertainty. It can build slowly over time or arrive out of nowhere — and in Long Covid, ME/CFS, & other post-viral conditions, it often shows up faster and more intensely than before you were ill.In this gentle, practical episode, I look at:What overwhelm actually isHow overwhelm shows up in the bodyWhy overwhelm is so common in recoveryReframing overwhelm as communication, not failurePractical tips to avoid overwhelm, and to meet it when it hitsBy the end of this episode, my hope is that you feel less alone, less confused by your own reactions, and more equipped with language and understanding that can help you navigate overwhelm with more compassion for yourself.Links: Breath Awareness: https://insighttimer.com/LongCovidPod/guided-meditations/gentle-breath-awareness-from-loch-ness-with-waves Reset Button - 2 mins to tranquility: https://insig.ht/xee2ILEGaZb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=live_stream_shareGentle Somatic Tracking: https://insig.ht/Jlnf2P0w32b STOP: From Overwhelm To Ease: https://insig.ht/1UCyrM2w32b Amy Davies episode on Internalised Pressure: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1835170/episodes/19021956Message me!

In this episode, Dr. Hugh talks about one of the most missed parts of healing: the lymphatic system.Find What's Missing In Your Recovery Schedule Your Zoom CallYour lymphatic system is like your body's cleanup crew. It helps move waste, toxins, mold, heavy metals, bacteria, and other unwanted junk out of your body.But here is the problem.If your lymphatic system is slow or stuck, those toxins may sit in your tissues, blood, liver, and gut. This can make it harder for your body to heal.Dr. Hugh explains this in simple terms so you can understand why lymph drainage matters, especially if you deal with chronic illness, fatigue, swelling, inflammation, gut problems, or toxic overload. In This Podcast, You Will Learn:What the lymphatic system doesWhy lymph drainage is important for detoxHow toxins can build up in the bodyWhy movement helps lymph flowHow the liver and gallbladder help remove wasteWhy bile and bowel movements matterHow binders may help carry toxins outSimple ways to support lymph flow at homeDr. Hugh Covers These Key Topics:The lymphatic system collects waste Dead cell parts  Germs  Mold  Heavy metals  Drugs  Gut bacteria waste  Other toxins The lymph system does not have a pump Your heart pumps blood.  Your lymph system moves through motion.  Your muscles help squeeze lymph forward. Poor movement can slow detox If you do not move much, lymph can become sluggish.  This may lead to more swelling, inflammation, and toxin buildup. Your liver and gallbladder matter Lymph drains into the blood.  The blood carries waste to the liver.  The liver makes bile.  Bile helps move toxins into the gut so they can leave through stool. Bowel movements are important If toxins are pushed into bile but not removed, they may be reabsorbed.  Dr. Hugh explains why regular bowel movements can be a key part of healing. Five Simple Ways to Help Move Your Lymph:Use a chi machineRide a stationary bikeSweat with a sauna blanketDry brush your skinTry reboundingWhy This Episode MattersIf you have chronic health problems, your lymphatic system may need support. You do not always need to “detox harder.” Sometimes your body needs help moving its natural drainage system.When lymph, liver, gallbladder, gut, and bowel movements work together, your body has a better chance to remove waste and start healing.Listen to this episode if you struggle with:Chronic fatigueBrain fogSwellingInflammationToxic overloadMold exposureHeavy metal exposureGut problemsPoor detoxSlow recoveryMain MessageYour body was built with a cleanup system. But that system must move.When your lymph system moves, your body can drain better, detox better, and heal better.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with Len May, CEO and co-founder of EndoDNA, for a fascinating conversation about personalized health, the endocannabinoid system, and why healthcare should focus on prevention instead of symptoms.Len explains how DNA, epigenetics, and biomarkers can help practitioners create more individualized wellness plans for patients. He shares why so many people are still being treated with a one-size-fits-all approach, and how genetics can act like a GPS to help people avoid the “potholes” that may be waiting for them down the road.The conversation also dives into cannabis, terpenes, the endocannabinoid system, and how science can help people better understand what their body actually needs. This is a powerful episode about precision health, self-awareness, and building a future where people are treated as individuals rather than averages.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy healthcare should be focused on prevention instead of symptom managementHow DNA and genetics can help guide more personalized health decisionsWhat the endocannabinoid system is and why it mattersHow cannabis, CBD, THC, and terpenes interact with the bodyWhy the same product can affect different people in very different waysHow genetic testing can help identify predispositions to adverse eventsWhy practitioners need better tools for precision wellnessHow Len's company is using AI and biomarkers to improve healthcare outcomesHighlights & Timestamps[00:00] Healthcare should be about preventionLen opens with a powerful point: people should be treated as individuals, and healthcare should focus on preventing conditions rather than simply treating symptoms.[01:00] Meet Len May and EndoDNALen shares what he does as CEO and co-founder of EndoDNA, a company focused on personalized health and wellness through DNA, epigenetics, and biomarkers.[02:00] Genetics as a GPS for lifeLen explains how genetics can help people understand their predispositions and avoid the “potholes” that can lead to health issues later.[03:00] Can you buy the test direct?Rodric asks whether people need to go through a practitioner, and Len explains how most of their tests are sold through healthcare providers, with one direct-to-consumer option tied to cannabis-related guidance.[04:00] Cannabis stigma and why education mattersThe conversation shifts into the difference between the plant, the stigma around cannabis, and the need for better public understanding.[05:00] The endocannabinoid systemLen breaks down how the endocannabinoid system works, how it helps regulate balance in the body, and why it was such an important scientific discovery.[06:00] Anandamide, 2-AG, and feeling balancedLen explains the body's own endocannabinoids and how they relate to mood, balance, and well-being.[07:00] CBD, THC, and what your body may needRodric asks whether the test could help determine ideal ratios, and Len explains how the test looks at genetic predispositions, ratios, and potential responses.[08:00] Stress, inflammation, and the FAAH geneLen shares how certain genetic variations can affect how fast the body breaks down anandamide, which can influence inflammation, stress response, and discomfort.[09:00] Matching cannabinoids and terpenesLen explains how the test can suggest specific cannabinoid ratios and terpene profiles based on an individual's genetics and needs.[10:00] How the test helps people choose productsThe discussion turns to how consumers can use the results to better identify which products are more aligned with their body and which ones to avoid.[11:00] More than cannabis: the power of individualized wellnessLen explains that their broader mission goes beyond cannabis and into personalized wellness across multiple areas of health.[12:00] The book breakRodric shares a listener message about his book Million Dollar Flip Flops and the mission behind the show.[13:00] Why plant medicine mattersLen and Rodric discuss why many natural medicines have been overlooked and how plant-based compounds often serve as the basis for modern pharmaceuticals.[15:00] Where to find LenLen shares his website and explains that he also creates music, writes books, and shares a daily “record of the day” from his vinyl collection.[16:00] The next guest's questionLen asks the next guest what they would tell themselves at 18 years old.[17:00] What lights Len's life upLen reflects on the joy his daughter brings him and how life, music, and curiosity keep him energized.[18:00] The bigger mission of EndoDNALen goes deeper into the company's larger vision: using AI, genetics, and biomarkers to create precision health and wellness tools.[19:00] Clinical trials and future expansionHe shares that the company is working on multiple clinical trials and expanding into more areas of personalized healthcare.[20:00] Why pain is informationLen shares a powerful perspective on how people in the U.S. often rush to stop pain instead of understanding what it is trying to communicate.[21:00] Rodric's personal story with back painRodric shares his own experience with back pain, surgery avoidance, yoga, and the mind-body connection, reinforcing the episode's theme of prevention and self-awareness.Notable Quotes“Every one of us is an individual and we should be treated as

“I want to offer you a perspective shift when it comes to your inner a-hole voice. What if that voice and even your struggles with food are not actually the problem? What if they are trying to help you?”What if your inner critic isn't the enemy, but a protective part of you? In this episode, I'm joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Jeanne Catanzaro to explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help you understand the different “parts” driving your thoughts and behaviors around food. We unpack why dieting can feel safe even when it's not serving you, and how to replace self-criticism with curiosity and compassion so you can break free from old cycles and build a healthier, more supportive relationship with yourself.What You'll Learn:Where your inner critic really comes from, and why it's so loud about food and bodyWhy dieting and controlling food can serve as coping mechanisms (and what they're trying to protect you from)How the tug of war between food freedom and restriction happens inside, and why it actually makes senseSteps to start responding to your inner critic with curiosity and compassion rather than shameWhat it means (and looks like) to approach your relationship with food differently, so you can finally break the cycleResources:Jeanne's book, Unburdened Eating: An Internal Family Systems Approach to Healing Your Relationships with Food and Your BodyJeanne's WebsiteIFS InstituteEpisode 220, How Tracking Macros Turned Toxic for Jamie (and the food freedom she finally found!)Grab the Hunger & Fullness Scale Guide at DietCultureRebel.com/hungerfullnessscale and take your next step toward building trust with your body and food.Connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebel.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the real reason you might still feel stuck… even if you've done all the mindset work, taken the courses, and know exactly what you “should” be doing.The truth is, most people are trying to change their reality from the conscious mind… when the real blocks are stored deep in the subconscious.I share why these hidden blocks are so powerful, how they silently control your results, and why they don't shift through logic, journaling, or surface-level awareness alone.And more importantly, I'm inviting you into a live experience where you don't just learn this work… you actually experience it.Whether you join us in person at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel Toronto or virtually from anywhere in the world, this is your opportunity to have your subconscious patterns seen, identified, and cleared in real time.This is the exact method I use with my private clients to create rapid, lasting transformation and this event is your chance to step into that level of work.If you've been feeling stuck, repeating patterns, or like there's “something deeper” holding you back… this episode will show you exactly why and what to do about it.Get your spot at our LIVE Toronto Event: ⁠⁠⁠⁠INPERSON: https://marleyrose.mykajabi.com/offers/oLPgxHPn/checkout⁠⁠ONLINE: ⁠https://marleyrose.mykajabi.com/offers/qJEFoKyE/checkout⁠What You'll LearnWhy you can know what to do and still not changeThe difference between conscious effort vs subconscious programmingHow hidden fears and beliefs are formed and stored in the bodyWhy traditional mindset work often doesn't create lasting resultsWhat it actually takes to create rapid, permanent changeHow live subconscious reprogramming works (and why it's so powerful)The energetic difference between learning something vs experiencing itKey QuotesReflect on where in your life you feel stuck despite “doing the work”Identify patterns that keep repeating (money, relationships, confidence, success)Ask yourself: what if this isn't a strategy problem, but a subconscious block?Decide if you're ready to stop circling the same patterns and actually clear themTake aligned action by joining the live or virtual experienceResources:

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!Ever notice how you can eat bread and pasta in Europe and feel completely fine but the moment you're back home, the bloating, fatigue, and brain fog return?I want to understand exactly why.In this episode, I break down what's really happening in your body when you travel and why it has far less to do with “magic food” and far more to do with your nervous system.Because when your body finally feels safe, everything changes.When you've been living in a constant state of stress, your sympathetic nervous system stays activated. Cortisol remains elevated, digestion slows, your vagus nerve becomes suppressed, and your body shifts into survival mode. That affects everything from how you break down food to how you think, feel, and show up.Then you get on a plane, land somewhere slower, and suddenly… You feel like yourself again.This isn't random. It's biology.In this episode, I walk you through:Why bread and pasta may feel easier to digest in EuropeThe real differences in wheat, fermentation, and food qualityHow stress and the nervous system directly impact digestionWhy you feel calmer, lighter, and more present when you travelWhat's actually happening with alcohol tolerance on vacationHow walking, sunlight, and circadian rhythm reset your bodyWhy slowing down improves blood sugar, hormones, and gut healthBut more importantly, I show you how to bring this home.Because you don't need a plane ticket to feel better in your body.The anchor for this episode is a word I love: Pomalo, a Croatian philosophy that means little by little, slow down.  Most of you know, I am a Croatian girl.  I love this word.That's how real healing happens.If you've been feeling dJoin here:  Sandy K Inner Circle Join me here:  Sandy K Inner CircleSupport the showJoin The Sandy K Inner Circle -- my private women-only subscription community where we go deeper than the podcast ever could.Every month you get:A live Q&A with Sandy on ZoomAn exclusive podcast episode nobody else hearsA practical curated downloadAccess to our private women-only Facebook community for wide open discussions on all topicsNo agendas.
