*CORRECTION: At 18:59, we start talking about nasal "turbicles". We say this word a lot. We get excited, and even question if "turbicles" is the right word, before agreeing that it's the right word, and carrying on. Future editing Karinda realises we in fact meant to say "nasal turbinates" - not turbicles. Turbicles aren't a thing. You're cordially invited to laugh at our mistake. You can suss out what these look like and their function hereIN THIS EP:We dive deep into the practice of mouth taping and its impressive benefits for sleep quality and overall health. We go through our personal experiences with mouth taping, different types of tapes, and address common concerns and misconceptions (we get it, it seems odd at first, or scary at most!). Let's explore the link between nasal breathing, nitric oxide production, and improved oxygenation and recovery, and how mouth taping can aid in reducing snoring and sleep apnea. As always, you'll get a mix of science, personal anecdotes, tidbits of advice and a good ole laugh.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction and Casual Banter02:43 Health Benefits of Jamu06:45 Mouth Taping: An Unconventional Sleep Hack08:17 The Science Behind Mouth Taping13:14 Practical Tips and Personal Experiences25:27 Nose Breathing and Nitric Oxide25:59 Diaphragmatic Breathing and Vagus Nerve27:16 Turmeric and Vagus Nerve Activation27:38 Breathing Techniques for Calmness28:32 Nasal Breathing for Athletic Performance30:40 Mouth Taping Methods and Recommendations31:26 Mouth Taping Experiences and Tips35:00 Mouth Taping for Snoring and Sleep Apnea38:01 Glymphatic System and Sleep40:14 Mouth Taping Products and Environmental Considerations49:12 Final Thoughts and Listener Engagement~Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths here!

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." - Marcus Aurelius Be guided in a meditation on resilience, the Stoic ability to bounce back from adversity. Discover how to view challenges as opportunities to strengthen your inner fortitude and develop unwavering resilience. THIS WEEK'S THEME: The Stoic's Gaze Welcome to this week's meditation series: "The Stoic's Gaze: Perceiving Opportunity in All." In each episode this week, you're guided with the mental tools to transform challenges into pathways for personal growth and virtuous living, directly inspired by Stoic philosophy. Each session focuses on a core Stoic virtue and offers practical techniques to shift perspective and find hidden opportunities within adversity. The series begins by establishing the foundational Stoic understanding that external events are largely outside your control, but your responses and interpretations are entirely within your power. It emphasizes that challenges, rather than being mere obstacles, are opportunities to practice and strengthen Stoic virtues like kindness, patience, resilience, wisdom, courage, and self-control. Each meditation session will guide you through a process of reframing your perception of challenging situations. You're invited to observe your initial emotional reactions without judgment, and then intentionally shift your focus to the potential for growth and virtue. The guided meditations will incorporate visualizations, affirmations, and contemplative practices that embody Stoic principles.

Welcome to another episode of Who Are These Guys – where we take on new experiences, push our limits, and then complain about it afterward like true New Yorkers. This time, we sweat out our egos (and probably a few bad life decisions) in the sweltering inferno that is hot yoga.Jesse & Kurt sit down with Nicole & Chris from Just Breathe Yoga Studio in Massapequa and Sayville, NY. The Who Are These Guys crew threw themselves into a scorching 90-minute session that had us questioning our life choices, our flexibility, and whether we'd make it out alive. What started as a casual fitness experiment quickly became an existential crisis—because nothing says "I need to reevaluate my life" quite like trying to touch your toes in a 105-degree room.We break down:✔️ The brutal reality of Inferno Hot Pilates vs. traditional yoga✔️ Why breathing (correctly) is the difference between passing out and making it through✔️ How COVID changed the yoga world and led to some underground, back-alley yoga sessions (yes, really)✔️ Bikram's wild history and how the practice survived despite its controversial founder✔️ How martial arts, breathwork, and yoga intersect in the pursuit of mental and physical mastery✔️ And of course, why King Pigeon might be the best boxing nickname of all timeIf you've ever wondered if hot yoga is a life-changing practice or just a slow-cooked torture method, this episode is for you. Buckle up, hydrate, and let's get into it.

Be guided in a meditation encompassing the dynamic heart of Hermetic philosophy: The Principle of Vibration. 'Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.' This principle reveals that the universe is not a static entity, but a ceaseless dance of energy, from the subtlest thoughts to the grandest celestial bodies. Everything is in constant motion, vibrating at different frequencies. Understanding this principle empowers us to recognize that we are not passive observers, but active participants in this vibrant dance. We can learn to consciously shift our own vibrations, influencing our reality and aligning ourselves with the harmonious rhythms of the cosmos. In this meditation, we'll explore how to connect with the vibrational nature of existence and harness its transformative power. THIS WEEK'S THEME: This week, we embark on a journey into the ancient and profound wisdom of Hermeticism. Hermeticism, attributed to the legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus, is a spiritual and philosophical tradition that has influenced thinkers for millennia. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality, the interconnectedness of all things, and the power of the mind.

In this episode of the Homebody Podcast, Anna Papaioannou explores powerful body-based tools for calming anxiety and regulating the nervous system without relying on verbal expression. Anna discusses the limitations of traditional talk therapy in addressing anxiety, highlighting that anxiety is a physiological response rooted in the nervous system. She introduces various calming techniques such as pursed lip breathing, co-synchronised breathing, candle gazing, and movement practices like shaking, all designed to help regulate the nervous system and release anxious energy. The episode concludes with a gentle invitation to practice these tools and nurture your nervous system. Key Takeaways: - Talking about anxiety may not always be effective; body-based tools can bypass the thinking mind and address the root cause. - Anxiety is a physiological response, not just a thought problem—it's deeply connected to your nervous system. - Pursed lip breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to calm the body. - Co-synchronised breathing helps regulate both individuals involved, promoting calm and connection. - Candle gazing and orienting to the room can help shift the nervous system into a calmer state. - Movement practices like shaking can discharge anxious energy and restore balance. - Nurturing and regulating your nervous system is key to building resilience and emotional regulation. - Nervous system regulation is a practice, not a perfection—be gentle with yourself.

'The good thing about pressure is that it lets you know that you care.' Billy Jean King. The difficulty comes in when you let the pressure build up too much that it spills over into our hobbies and sports, including pickleball. It's perfectly normal for players to start feeling pressure in terms of their performance but not to the point where you're not having fun or can't function anymore. Here are three ways to release pressure and help you stay focused and relaxed on the court;1. Between-Rally Pauses; A simple yet effective way to reset between rallies using brief pauses to take a mental step back. This allows your brain to slow down and it could be in form of paddle tap or removing the paddle from your hand to reduce tension and allow your body and mind to relax.2. Breathing Techniques; Focusing on your breath can help shift attention away from stressful thoughts and bring a sense of calm. In this episode I explain to you two techniques you can try to that bring focus and calmness.3. Change Your Approach Strategically; If a particular strategy or shot isn't working, it might be time for a tactical change. For instance, if you're struggling with your third shot drops, try driving the ball instead. This switch not only relieves pressure but can also improve your rhythm.In the RIFF I share with you why sticking to a successful formula during competitive play maximizes your chance of success, using an example of a PPA match that happened during the Mesa Cup.Anna Bright's great framing after the game; https://betterpickleball.com/232-anna-brights-positive-perspective-win-or-lose/Upcoming boot camp in March; https://betterpickleball.com/march-bootcamp/Get on our email list; https://betterpickleball.com/Check out Pickleheads website; https://www.pickleheads.com/Have a feedback?

Some of the best health strategies are the most simple and basic; unfortunately, it's the simplicity that makes them easy to quickly overlook and undervalue. As much as I love reading the newest books and most up-to-date research to stay on the leading edge of wellness and longevity, I also believe that some of the most treasured information can be obtained from hidden gems from times of yore. Even some of the most prolific research on how light impacts our health originates from the 40s, 50s and 60s, thanks to John Ott (remember those solosodes, long-time listeners?!). Not to mention, some of the most reliable health and medical strategies were produced from our ancestors thousands of years ago via Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine, to name a couple. The best techniques and approaches inevitably stand the test of time.Enter Charles Atlas, "The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man," who was a veritable biohacker way back in the early 1900s — multiple generations before the term came into use. And don't worry, this episode isn't about bodybuilding or necessarily about perfecting our physique. Rather, Charles Atlas created a program in the 1920s - 1940s that consists of a dozen separate lessons where each lesson goes over various health and wellness strategies; ranging from the mental, to the physical, to diet, to the importance of "building magnetism" and much more. In today's episode, I want to go over those approaches that I felt would be interesting and relevant to you all.Charles Atlas (born Angelo Siciliano; October 30, 1892 – December 24, 1972) was an Italian-American bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and fitness pioneer. He is best known for his mail-order fitness program and for being dubbed “The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man.” Atlas claimed he was inspired to change his body after seeing statues of Greek and Roman gods at the Brooklyn Museum. His fitness philosophy emphasized health, strength, and self-confidence. Atlas is considered a pioneer in promoting fitness to the general public and is often credited with sparking the modern fitness culture. He was an advocate for a healthy diet and a clean lifestyle.

He's a Clinical Psychologist and a Sleep Medicine Expert who knows exactly how vital sleep is for entrepreneurs like us. Spoiler alert: it's a game-changer for your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. Dr. Breus and I dove into some of the biggest myths about sleep that are holding so many of us back. Think you can thrive on 4 hours of sleep? Or that catching up on weekends actually works? Nope. He broke it all down, explaining how these common beliefs can mess with your performance and long-term health.Sleep isn't just about getting enough hours; it's about getting quality hours. And trust me, there's a big difference! This episode isn't just about what's wrong with our sleep habits—it's packed with actionable advice you can start.
