Podcasts about Chronic

Are you ready to unlock the secrets to boosting your confidence and motivation as a woman?  In this empowering episode, Maraya Brown and Margaret Lynch Raniere dive deep into the fascinating world of female hormonal health and the power of tapping to transform self-doubt into confidence. Margaret shares her expert insights into how hormonal cycles uniquely impact women's energy, stress responses, and motivation, explaining how stress often gets misinterpreted as a personal flaw rather than a natural response. She reveals the critical differences in how men and women handle stress, with women more prone to rumination and self-criticism. This episode is a must-listen for women who want to understand the science behind their motivation and learn powerful tools to unlock their full potential.   In this episode: Chronic stress can affect women more intensely by elevating cortisol, affecting estrogen and progesterone, and leading to increased self-criticism. EFT is a powerful tool for reducing stress, managing emotions, and enhancing self-compassion, helping women turn their fight-or-flight response off. Self-compassion and oxytocin play essential roles in women's stress management, contrasting with how men handle stress via testosterone. Women carry unique societal pressures that influence confidence and motivation, requiring personalized strategies for empowerment. About the Guest: Margaret Lynch Raniere earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Houston and San Francisco Chronicle, NBC, ABC, CBS News, FOX and CNN to name a few.

850 Episodes In: 8 Lessons That Actually Move Your Business In this milestone episode, Doc Danny Matta reflects on 8+ years and 850 podcasts—what stuck, what changed, and what really matters if you want a durable, thriving cash-based PT business. From showing up consistently to building systems and recurring revenue, Danny lays out the playbook he wishes he had at the start. Episode Summary Consistency pays: Two episodes a week for 8+ years—compound impact over time. Origin story: From the Doc & Jock days to PT Entrepreneur, content created demand and clarity. The big mission: Add $1B in cash-based PT services; current community revenue already in the hundreds of millions. Clinic as a lab: Athletes' Potential evolved into a testing ground for systems shared with clients. Real talk on founder life: Leadership is lonely; sleep is non-negotiable; trolls don't pay the bills. What's next: More clinic tours, more stories, and a push toward a “no-brainer” clinic model for owners and staff. 8 Key Lessons Start before you're ready: Perfect timing is a myth—get moving and adjust. Content creates connection: Share values and useful guidance; consistency builds trust. Systems > motivation: Processes keep output steady when motivation dips. Leadership is lonely: Find a peer group; don't dump everything on your spouse. Recurring revenue changes everything: Stabilizes cash flow and deepens client outcomes. Protect sleep: Chronic deprivation wrecks health, judgment, and relationships. Trolls don't pay the bills: Ship the work; let your reputation and community speak. Delay gratification: Don't move the goalposts—bank the delta to build real freedom. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Document & delegate: Write the steps for your recurring tasks; hand off one this week. Publish on a schedule: Pick a cadence (e.g., weekly) and protect it like a patient slot. Add continuity: Offer a simple monthly performance/maintenance option for appropriate patients. Sleep floor: Set a personal minimum (e.g., 7 hours) and design evenings to hit it. Owner circle: Book a monthly coffee with 2–3 local entrepreneurs; talk shop and stress. Hold lifestyle creep: Keep expenses at the old income level for 12 months; invest the spread. Notable Quotes “The power of showing up is huge. Be a consistent person—it's rare.” “Systems beat motivation ten out of ten—motivation will wane.” “Recurring revenue stabilizes your business and changes patient lives.” “Trolls don't pay the bills—ship the work and help your people.” “Don't move the goalposts. Delay gratification to build real freedom.” Action Items Create a simple content system: topic list → record → edit → post → email/social. Launch one continuity offer (monthly check-in or performance session) for eligible patients. Block a consistent sleep window on your calendar for the next 30 days. Schedule a standing monthly founder meetup (90 minutes) with peers. Track one metric for 8 weeks (e.g., continuity MRR or weekly content cadence) and review.

On this episode of Healthy Waves with host Avik, spiritual architect Reginald Martin breaks down how negative religious conditioning (“I am broken,” “I am a sinner”) quietly shapes self-worth, health, and relationships long after leaving organized religion. Drawing from Kemetic metaphysics and practical psychology, Reginald explains why identity frames matter, how “paradoxical HEKA” can recalibrate your energy, and what spiritual sovereignty looks like day-to-day—living authentically, unapologetically, and on your terms without guilt or shame. If you've felt spiritually “homeless” after deconstruction, this conversation offers a clear path to reconstruct your inner architecture and live aligned.    About the guest:    Reginald Martin is a spiritual architect, metaphysician, and creator of Kametaphysics, a framework blending ancient Kemetic wisdom with modern psychological insight to help people heal subconscious programming and reclaim sovereign, guilt-free lives.    Key takeaways :  Harmful religious frames can become identity lenses that fuel shame, self-doubt, and chronic misalignment even after leaving religion. From a Kemetic lens, you are born divine, not broken; reframing identity changes the “soil” in which your life-seeds grow. Paradoxical HEKA: honor the signal of pain or imbalance (“I've suppressed my creativity”) while simultaneously affirming divinity and capacity (“and I still create”). This paradox prompts energetic recalibration. Chronic negative beliefs distort the energetic field; restoring balance supports mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Deconstruction is not the destination; reconstruction—mind, body, and soul in balance—is the work that ends spiritual limbo. Spiritual sovereignty means living authentically on your terms, shifting from external to internal locus of control. A simple daily practice: use breath + precise language to speak paradoxical truths that re-encode the subconscious. Use an emotional barometer: feeling good signals alignment; feeling bad flags misalignment and invites a gentle course-correct. Leaders, creators, and parents model sovereignty by embodying clear standards rooted in inner alignment, not external approval. Freedom doesn't reject spirituality; it reclaims it—without shame, with responsibility.   Connect with the guest   Substack: reginaldmartin.substack.com Resources mentioned: free downloads for practitioners and readers on his Substack.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Back pain is one of the most common health problems in the world — but also one of the most mysterious. Scans don't always match symptoms, treatments don't always provide relief, and many people feel stuck with ongoing discomfort.In this episode, I explore chronic, non-specific low back pain through a biopsychosocial lens. Basically, we're looking beyond just the spine to understand how biology, psychology, and environment all shape the way pain is experienced.You'll hear about:What makes non-specific low back pain so puzzlingHow pain perception actually works (pain ≠ tissue damage)Why the biopsychosocial model is key to understanding painThe role of self-regulation in shaping pain responsesWhat research says about meditation for back painHow to reframe back pain when you feel like you're hitting a wallJournal prompts to reflect on your own experienceBy the end, you'll have a new way to think about back pain, one that expands the options for healing beyond the body alone.Engel, G.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik sits down with movement therapist Vanessa Leone to explore how movement is much more than exercise—it's a language of healing, freedom, and connection. With nearly two decades of experience in sports science and wellness, Vanessa shares how navigating ADHD, autoimmune challenges, and hypermobility reshaped her philosophy on movement. She reveals why self-compassion is the root of true self-discipline, how emotions are inseparable from motion, and why joyful movement—not forced workouts—creates lasting transformation. This conversation is a practical guide for anyone struggling with burnout, chronic pain, or the pressure of fitness expectations. Listeners will learn how to reframe movement into something nurturing, sustainable, and deeply therapeutic. About the Guest   Vanessa Leone is a consultant for Technogym, international presenter, and disruptor in the fitness and wellness space. With a unique blend of science, lived experience, and compassion, she helps people rediscover the healing power of movement as medicine. Key Takeaways   Movement therapy is not about performance or aesthetics—it's about joy, freedom, and self-love. “Motion is emotion, and emotion is motion”—the body and mind are inseparable. Self-compassion fuels self-discipline; shame and force only create burnout. Chronic illness and pain are invitations to slow down and listen to the body's needs. Start with small, enjoyable movements—walking, dancing, stretching—that shift mood and energy. Music, community, and play are powerful gateways into sustainable movement practices. Emotional resilience can be built through movement, as the body often expresses what words cannot.   Connect with the Guest   Website: https://vlmovementtherapy.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vlmovementtherapist/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-leone-2055b86a/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@vanessaleonemovementtherapM2M Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Parenting today feels overwhelming—and it's not your imagination. The latest Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report reveals shocking truths about kids' mental health and shows us just how deep this childhood chronic disease crisis runs.Our children are carrying the weight of poor diet, chronic stress, environmental exposures, and endless screen time—and it's affecting not just their moods but their overall health. As parents, it's easy to wonder, “Is this just my child?” or “Am I doing something wrong?”Let me reassure you—it's not bad parenting, it's a dysregulated brain. In this episode, I'll walk you through what the report means for American children's health and, most importantly, share practical steps you can take to calm the brain first, build resilience, and protect your child in today's overstimulating world.Why are so many American children struggling with mental health?Parents are searching for answers because the numbers in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report are staggering:Teen depression has doubled in recent years.Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for teens, rising 62% since 2007.Loneliness is at epidemic levels—73% of young adults report feeling isolated.Neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and autism continue to rise at alarming rates.These aren't just statistics from a government assessment. They represent the nation's health and, more importantly, our kids. The MAHA Commission—led by Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—noted that the potential drivers of this crisis include ultra processed foods, poor physical activity, environmental chemicals, and chronic stress.This isn't just a public health concern—it's a matter of national security when so many American children of the same age are struggling with preventable mental and physical health conditions. The Human Services Department and National Institutes call this the biggest children's health crisis in modern U.S. history.Key Takeaways:It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. Behavior is communication, and we need to calm the brain first.Environmental chemicals, ultraprocessed foods, and chronic stress are fueling this crisis in American children's health.Over-reliance on medicine and medication isn't fixing outcomes. The root causes—nutrition, stress, sleep, environmental exposures, and screen time—must be addressed.What hidden drivers of kids' health problems should parents know about?The MAHA Report shines a light on what's fueling the rise in dysregulation, ADHD, anxiety, and depression in kids today:Poor diet: 70% of children's calories now come from ultra-processed foods, leaving their brains starved of the nutrients they need to focus, learn, and regulate emotions.Environmental exposures: Everyday chemicals—like pesticides and microplastics—interfere with hormones and raise risks for autism, ADHD, and other mental health struggles.Chronic stress & sleep loss: Exhausted kids can't bounce back; lack of rest is draining their resilience.Technology overuse: Children average nine hours of non-school screen time daily, and social media alone doubles the risk for anxiety and depression.Over-medicalization: Prescriptions for ADHD, anxiety, and depression keep rising, yet long-term outcomes aren't improving.

In this episode, we explore what it takes to sustain creative leadership—not just for the next launch, but through the marathon of a meaningful career. We sit down with serial entrepreneur and author Chris Ducker to dig deep into his philosophy from his new book, "The Long Haul Leader," where he shares battle-tested frameworks for combating burnout and resisting the relentless drive of hustle culture.We reflect on how our culture glorifies quick wins and non-stop hustle at the expense of our health, relationships, and lasting impact. Chris opens up about his own struggle with severe burnout during the pandemic, describing the pivotal moment he realized he'd lost touch with what truly made him “him.” We discuss practical strategies that allowed him to recover, including building what he calls a Life Operating System (Life OS)—a set of rhythms and habits designed to make leadership and creative work sustainable for the long haul.We also highlight the importance of focusing on the right “who” as leaders, and why serving the right people makes all the difference. Together, we offer a smart, honest take on how to build resilience, manage energy, and stay effectively creative without losing yourself to exhaustion.Five Key Learnings from This Episode:Sustainability beats constant hustle: Hard work matters, but treating hustle as a perpetual lifestyle leads to burnout. Purposeful sprints are powerful only when surrounded by practices that let you recover and refocus.Breaking points clarify priorities: Real change often follows a crisis—those moments of total exhaustion or loss of purpose—but transformation only happens when you intentionally respond, not just notice the warning signs.Design your Life OS: Just like computers have operating systems, leaders need intentional frameworks for health, learning, energizing relationships, meaningful work, and hobbies—layering small “micro moves” for a compounding impact over time.Serve your real audience: Lasting fulfillment and greater impact come from identifying and serving those you're best equipped to help, not by trying to please everyone or chasing external validation.Burnout is not just part of the job: Chronic fatigue, disengagement, and emptiness are signals that something fundamental needs to change. Effective creative leadership means spotting the signals early and course-correcting—not waiting for a blow-up.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker is joined by holistic physician Dr. Brad Montagne to explore how unconscious beliefs, emotional suppression, and meta-cognitive dissonance can inhibit healing in chronic care. Together, we examine how unresolved psychological data and implicit attitudes create empathy gaps and relational disconnection, shaping both treatment resistance and patient well-being. This conversation unpacks the pivotal role empathy plays as a clinical tool—bridging human connection and holistic health outcomes.Key Talking PointsHow unresolved psychological data and suppressed beliefs influence chronic illness.The role of meta-cognitive dissonance in creating resistance to healing.Why empathy gaps in healthcare erode patient trust and connection.Somatic and psychological pathways that link disconnection to diminished healing outcomes.Trauma-informed perspectives on bridging relational divides in chronic care.Key TakeawaysHealing is not only physiological—it's relational, requiring empathy as medicine.Unconscious biases and cultural scripts often drive treatment resistance.Disconnection creates nocebo-like effects that can worsen patient outcomes.Clinicians who bridge empathy gaps can foster resilience and restore trust.Holistic care thrives when emotional, somatic, and relational factors are addressed together.Guest Bio – Dr. Brad MontagneDr. Brad Montagne is a holistic physician and chronic care provider dedicated to helping patients uncover the deeper connections between physical illness and unresolved emotional or psychological patterns.

CardioNerds join Dr. Neel Patel, Dr. Victoria Odeleye, and Dr. Jay Ramsay from the University of Tennessee, Nashville, for a deep dive into cardiovascular medicine in the vibrant city of Nashville. They discuss the following case: A 57-year-old male with a history of prior cardiac surgery, hypertension, and polysubstance use presented with syncope and chest pain. Initial workup revealed a large saccular ascending aortic aneurysm. While under conservative management, he experienced acute hemodynamic collapse, leading to the discovery of an unprecedented aorto-right ventricular fistula. This episode examines the clinical presentation, diagnostic journey, and management challenges of this rare and complex aortic pathology, highlighting the role of multimodal imaging and the interplay of multifactorial risk factors. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Andrew Zurick III. Episode audio was edited by CardioNerds Intern student Dr. Pacey Wetstein.   US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Pearls Saccular Aneurysm Risk: Saccular aortic aneurysms, though less common than fusiform, carry a higher inherent rupture risk due to concentrated wall shear stress, often exacerbated by prior cardiac surgery, chronic hypertension, and polysubstance use.     Unprecedented Rupture: The direct rupture of an aortic aneurysm into a cardiac chamber, specifically the right ventricle, is an exceedingly rare event, with no prior reported cases in the literature, highlighting the unpredictable nature of complex aortic pathology.     Hemodynamic Catastrophe: A large aorto-right ventricular fistula creates a massive left-to-right shunt, leading to acute right ventricular pressure and volume overload, culminating in rapid cardiogenic shock and refractory right ventricular failure.     Multimodal Imaging Imperative: Multimodal imaging (CT angiography for anatomy, TTE/TEE for real-time hemodynamics and fistula detection, CMR for tissue characterization) is indispensable for rapid diagnosis and comprehensive characterization of life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies.     High-Risk Intervention: Emergent surgical repair of a ruptured aortic aneurysm with an aorto-right ventricular fistula is a high-risk procedure associated with significant mortality, underscoring the need for prompt multidisciplinary care and realistic outcome expectations.     Notes - Notes (drafted by Dr Neel Patel):  What are the unique characteristics and rupture risk of saccular aortic aneurysms?  Saccular aortic aneurysms are less common than fusiform aneurysms.     They are generally considered more prone to rupture due to higher wall shear stress concentrated at the neck of the aneurysm, acting as a focal point of weakness.     Contributing Factors to Aneurysm Formation and Rupture in this Case:  Prior Cardiac Surgery: Aortic cannulation during the VSD/ASD repair decades ago likely created a localized structural weakness or predisposition.     Chronic, Poorly Controlled Hypertension: Imposed relentless systemic stress on the arterial walls, accelerating dilation and weakening.     Polysubstance Use: Particularly stimulants like cocaine and methamphetamines, which directly contribute to vascular damage by inducing severe, uncontrolled hypertension and direct arterial wall injury. This significantly increases the risk of aneurysm formation and rupture, especially with pre-existing conditions.     The direct rupture of an aortic aneurysm into a cardiac chamber, specifically the right ventricle, is an exceedingly rare event, with no prior reported cases in the literature,

In this transformative episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with two extraordinary guests whose work bridges the gap between science, empathy, and hands-on healing. Kiara McBain, creator of The Rubber Band Method and author of Hands-on Yoga Assists, shares how consent-based touch can become a powerful tool for nervous system regulation and trauma recovery. Dr. Alex Hilario, founder of Chiropractic Rehabilitation Source, reveals how holistic chiropractic care can help people avoid surgery, reduce chronic pain, and restore the body's natural healing capacity. From honoring personal boundaries in yoga to understanding the root causes of physical dysfunction, this conversation offers practical strategies for reconnecting with your body, reducing stress, and building resilience—whether you're recovering from trauma, managing chronic pain, or simply seeking a deeper mind-body connection. About the Guests   Kiara McBainYoga educator, trauma survivor, and creator of The Rubber Band Method—a consent-driven, anatomy-informed approach to hands-on yoga assists. Author of Hands-on Yoga Assists, she empowers teachers to use touch ethically and skillfully for nervous system regulation.Website: rubberbandmethod.com Dr. Alex HilarioChiropractor and founder of Chiropractic Rehabilitation Source in Yonkers, NY. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Hilario helps patients avoid invasive surgery and chronic medications through chiropractic care, acupuncture, and a holistic mind-body-spirit approach.Website: https://chirorehabsource.com/ Key Takeaways  : Consent in touch is essential for creating safety, especially in yoga and wellness spaces. The nervous system's state directly impacts overall health—regulated touch can help reduce stress hormones and increase oxytocin. Many people carry undisclosed trauma, making respectful consent crucial in any hands-on practice. Holistic chiropractic care addresses the root cause of pain by restoring spinal alignment and nervous system function. Healing is a process—quick fixes often mask symptoms without resolving the underlying issue. Quality of touch involves reading body cues and adjusting pressure based on individual needs. Chronic stress is often an upstream cause of multiple physical and mental health issues. Integrating safe, non-invasive practices like chiropractic, massage, yoga, and breathwork can accelerate recovery. Hope and belief in the body's capacity to heal are integral to the healing journey. Adults, like children, still need regular, healthy touch for emotional and physical well-being.

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged, we'll be discussing the various factors that impact brain health and exploring strategies for optimizing brain function. First, we'll be discussing the impact of exercise on brain health. Research has shown that regular exercise can help to improve brain function, enhance cognitive performance, and even reduce the risk of certain neurological disorders. We'll also be discussing the types of exercise that are most beneficial for the brain. Next, we'll be exploring the role of nutrition and supplements in promoting brain health. Certain foods and supplements have been shown to improve brain function and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. We'll be discussing which foods and supplements are most effective and how to incorporate them into your diet. Stress is another important factor that can impact brain health. Chronic stress has been shown to have negative effects on the brain, including impairing cognitive function and increasing the risk of neurological disorders. We'll be exploring strategies for managing stress to optimize brain health. There are several lab markers that can provide insights into brain health, such as inflammatory markers, lipid levels, and neurotrophic factors. We'll be discussing the significance of these markers and how they can be used to assess brain health. Sleep is also essential for brain health, as it plays a critical role in memory consolidation and cognitive function. We'll be discussing the importance of getting adequate sleep and strategies for improving sleep quality. Finally, we'll be exploring the impact of alcohol on the brain. While moderate alcohol consumption has been shown to have some health benefits, excessive alcohol consumption can have negative effects on brain function and increase the risk of neurological disorders.   To learn more, please go to https://rapidhealthoptimization.com Connect with our guests: Dan Garner on Instagram Anders Varner on Instagram Doug Larson on Instagram Coach Travis Mash on Instagram

Curious about how your mindset shapes your eating habits and affects your body's response to food? Could healing past trauma be the missing piece in your wellness journey? Today, Jenn Trepeck and Lisa Schlosberg, founder of Out of the Cave, LLC, explore the mind-body connection and its impact on emotional eating. Together, they explore how healing trauma can reshape our relationships with food, how our animal brain interprets social context as either safety or danger, and offer tools such as breathwork and the feelings wheel to build emotional awareness and combat chronic stress for sustainable, holistic health.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight loss, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding our understanding of nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Lisa Schlosberg introduces the concept of humans as spiritual beings, emphasizing the mind-body connection (05:59) Lisa's weight loss journey, emotional eating and revealing the importance of holistic health(10:50) The Adverse Childhood Experiences study connects childhood trauma to physical health issues like obesity and addiction(13:11) Discussion of the mind-body connection and how the feelings wheel can be tied to weight loss(18:35) Eating releases dopamine and serotonin, reinforcing emotional eating in times of stress(22:16) Reiterating humans as spiritual beings with an animal brain in a social context(29:02) The animal brain perceives discomfort as danger, triggering physiological reactions like chronic stress (31:40) Lisa suggests using breath work to manage emotional awareness and reduce stress eating(35:54) Discussion of energy, the mind-body connection and advocating for self-love and mindfulness(39:05) Addressing social media influence and doom scrolling, idealized images create chronic stress, driving emotional eating(42:34) Lisa concludes with a call for self-compassion, offering hope for trauma healingKEY TAKEAWAYS:The mind-body connection is central to understanding emotional eating, as Lisa Schlosberg explains how unprocessed trauma and stress can manifest as disordered eating patterns, impacting weight loss and holistic health.Self-compassion and emotional awareness are vital for healing, with tools like the feelings wheel helping individuals identify emotions associated with food and body image, thereby fostering healthier coping mechanisms.Chronic stress from social media and societal pressures can trigger stress eating. Still, mindfulness practices, such as breathwork, can help shift the nervous system toward a state of safety, supporting mental health and balanced eating habits.QUOTES: (05:59) “It wasn't until I spoke to my mom's friend, who is a nutritionist, she explained to me that I was undereating and over-exercising.” Lisa Schlosberg (08:45) “Food was my drug of choice growing up. And what was happening without using food and eating to stuff down all the feelings or dieting and over exercising to distract from all of the feelings, I was an emotional disaster. And that was very confusing and really tricky to navigate.” Lisa Schlosberg(13:12) “I started applying everything that I was learning in my own research about how diets don't work. You can't just restrict food and think that that's gonna be a sustainable way of living. I started focusing on my health holistically instead of just my weight. I started seeing myself as a complex, multidimensional, emotional human being rather than just a body,...

Have you ever wondered why your child melts down after the smallest stressor—no matter what strategies you try? It can leave you drained, second-guessing yourself, and wondering if you're doing something wrong. You're not alone. It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.In this episode, we uncover the hidden link between gut issues and emotional dysregulation in kids. You'll learn how the gut-brain connection affects mood, behavior, and focus—and discover practical steps to support both your child's emotional well-being and their gut microbiome at home.Why does my child melt down after eating certain foods?Many parents tell me they notice their child's behavior shifts right after meals—but what they don't realize is that the gut microbiome plays a significant role in emotional regulation.Food sensitivities like gluten, dairy, and artificial dyes can spark systemic inflammation, which shows up as mood swings and behavior changes.Constipation and poor gut health allow toxins to recirculate, affecting both emotional well-being and even pain perception.A leaky gut—or increased intestinal permeability—lets harmful substances enter the bloodstream, disrupting the brain and nervous system.So if your child melts down after eating, it may not be “just behavior.” It's communication from the gut-brain axis—and your child's body is asking for help.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How are gut issues connected to emotional dysregulation?Most parents assume the gut is only about digestion, but it actually has a direct line to the central nervous system and your child's mental health. When the gut is off balance, your child's ability to regulate emotions, focus, and cope with stress takes a hit too.Did you know that up to 90% of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and attention, is made in the digestive tract? That means your child's gut isn't just helping them process food—it's helping them manage emotions and stay calm.When there's gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of beneficial gut bacteria), kids are more likely to struggle with heightened anxiety, depressive symptoms, and poor emotional regulation.Chronic stress and an unhealthy gut microbiome create a feedback loop that keeps kids stuck in cycles of emotional distress and behavioral challenges.

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior, Today we're leaning into a topic we know all too well: stress. BUT, we know it SO well, we ignore it, don't see, deal with it. Something we know to be true- stress is present, but I don't hear in real conversations people being honest about their stress and health connection. Specifically, the way stress is making nurses, healthcare providers, caregivers—moms like you and me—sick. This isn't just about “feeling stressed.” We're talking about what happens when stress stays in your body. Chronic stress → chronic inflammation → chronic disease. And the scary part? Sometimes we don't even notice it's happening, because we're so used to carrying it all. And then we have a health issue and don't see the stress that's contributing or at the root even. Let's unpack how this stress is making us sick and even my own healing story!  Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT……

Chronic pain isn't just about what's happening in the body, it's about what's happening in the brain, too. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Dr. Mark Olson for a conversation that unpacks the deeper layers of pain—where neuroscience, trauma, and lived experience all intersect.Dr. Olson brings a trauma-informed lens to the table, helping us understand how pain is shaped not only by physical injury but by emotion, memory, and the nervous system's learned responses. Together, they explore why chronic pain is so often misunderstood, and how a deeper understanding—by both patients and practitioners—can shift everything.They talk about the brain's incredible ability to adapt, how coping mechanisms develop as survival tools, and why compassion and connection are just as critical as treatment plans. This episode offers more than information—it offers validation for those who've been told their pain is “all in their head,” and clarity for those still trying to make sense of it all.Tune in if you're ready to rethink what pain really is, and how healing might start with being truly seen.Find Dr. Mark Olson Online Here:Website: dr-olson.comInstagram: @dr.markolsonFacebook: Dr. OlsonLinkedIn: Mark OlsonFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastHighlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Neuroscience(01:47) Understanding Pain: The Science Behind It(08:48) The Importance of Trauma-Informed Care(12:23) Navigating the Pain Game: Personal Experiences(19:47) The Complexity of Pain Perception(25:35) The Duality of Existence: Living with Pain(31:29) Educating Practitioners and Patients(42:33) Conclusion and Resources for Chronic Pain Management

This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast is a candid conversation about personal health, nutrition, and navigating the overwhelming world of supplements and dietary advice. Randy and Greg share their individual health journeys, discussing the different approaches they take—from keto to plant-based diets—and the daily routines they use to optimize their well-being. They tackle the challenge of conflicting information online, emphasizing the importance of finding credible sources like doctors and individuals with real-life transformation stories, rather than just social media influencers. This discussion serves as a practical guide to becoming your own "guinea pig," testing what resonates with you, and building sustainable habits for long-term health, all while acknowledging that the journey is never perfect.   Key Takeaways: There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health; what works for one person may not work for another. It's about finding what resonates with you. Be cautious of where you get your health information. Prioritize credentialed doctors and genuine success stories over social media influencers. The journey to optimal health is not about perfection, but about consistency and getting back on track after a "bad" choice. Chronic diseases often develop over decades due to the compounding effect of bad habits. Small, consistent, positive changes are key to prevention. A structured morning and night routine, including practices like journaling and hydration, can be foundational to good health. Technology, especially AI, can be a powerful tool for self-education and learning about health and nutrition. Long-term health is not just about living longer, but about increasing your "healthspan"—the number of healthy, active years you have.   Questions Answered in This Episode: How do you navigate the conflicting health and nutrition advice online? What's the difference between a keto and a plant-based diet, and how do you choose what's right for you? How can you become more in-tune with your body to know what foods make you feel good or bad? What are some simple, foundational habits for a healthy morning routine? How can you overcome the mental battle of making healthy food choices when faced with temptation? What are some of the key supplements to consider for daily health? (e.g., Vitamin D3/K2, Omega-3s) How is emerging technology expected to impact human longevity and "healthspan"? Why is it more important to focus on long-term health habits rather than quick fixes?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Gary Brecka, Ian Clark.

A few years ago, cartoonist and writer Gabrielle Drolet developed a condition that made her unable to use her hands. It kept getting worse over time, and as Gabrielle searched for a diagnosis, she also had to find new ways to make art. She joined Tom Power to talk about her new memoir, “Look Ma, No Hands,” which tells the story of an artist coming to terms with disability, adapting to the unexpected, and ultimately learning to express herself again.

Chronic activation often comes with trade-offs such as muscle loss, hormonal changes, and nutrient deficiencies. Robert Sikes and I talk about how the Sugar Diet may leverage FGF-21 but that there are ways to leverage FGF-21 without using sugar. Robert Sikes is the founder of Keto Brick. He has been following a ketogenic lifestyle for over a decade and turned professional in bodybuilding in 2023. Through his work, Robert coaches athletes and everyday people to optimize performance, build muscle, and achieve sustainable health without extreme dieting or performance-enhancing drugs.In this episode, I sit down with Robert Sikes (aka Keto Savage) to unpack his latest self-experiment: eating 4,000 calories per day with 400g of fat and minimal protein, and doubling his testosterone in just 2 weeks.We discuss the following: Why the sugar diet became popularRobert's diet experimentAre some not built for low carb?Recommended protein macrosWhat is VO2 max testingHow long to get fat adaptedRobert's keto bodybuilding programOptimal testosterone rangeLessons from 11 years of ketoRobert's cacao sourcing journeyWhere to find Robert SikesJudy's pull-up journey (bonus)_____EPISODE RESOURCESInstagramKeto BrickKeto SavageKeto BodybuildingNatural States SavagesSavage Perspective PodcastNwJ Interview with Robert Sikes Part 1NwJ Interview with Robert Sikes Part 2NwJ Interview with Robert Sikes Part 3NwJ Interview with Robert Sikes Part 4EFH Personalized Health Plan_____WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
