Podcasts about Chronic stress

Dr. Emeran Mayer sits down with Taylor Bell, an Ivy League–educated former management consultant turned full-time YouTuber, for a candid conversation on authenticity, ambition, and the health consequences of living out of alignment with your true values.Through her story of leaving a high-pressure corporate career to pursue creative entrepreneurship, Taylor shares what it means to redefine success, listen to your inner voice, and create a life rooted in purpose and well-being.Together, they explore the psychological effects of cognitive dissonance, how chronic stress shows up in the body, especially through the brain-gut-microbiome system, and why self-trust and intentional living are essential for both mental and physical health.Dr. Mayer also discusses the physiological impact of chronic stress, the concept of allostatic load, and practical tools such as diaphragmatic breathing that can help restore balance and resilience in a world of constant pressure and comparison.Key Topics Covered:• The link between cognitive dissonance, stress, and physical health• How authenticity and purpose shape mental well-being• The hidden costs of over-optimization and burnout• Simple ways to live and work with greater intention• Why listening to your body is more powerful than tracking every metric• Breathing techniques to reset the nervous system and calm the mindThis episode is both inspiring and deeply practical — a reminder that true success isn't about constant achievement, but about alignment, fulfillment, and trusting the wisdom of your own body.As always, we invite you to share your thoughts in the comments and subscribe for more episodes exploring the science of brain–body health.This episode is brought to you by Mayer Nutrition.

Have you ever felt totally off but couldn’t explain why? Did you ever figure out what was causing it? Today, Jay sits down with Dr. Sara Szal, a Harvard- and MIT-trained physician, researcher, and bestselling author, to dive into a topic that affects everyone but rarely gets the attention it deserves: hormones. Together, they break down what hormones really are, how stress and daily habits can throw them off balance, and why understanding these powerful chemical messengers can completely transform the way we think about health. Dr. Sara shares how simple changes, from better sleep and mindful eating to managing stress, can help reset your body’s natural rhythm in just a few days. This is a conversation that beautifully bridges science and self-awareness, revealing just how deeply our biology and emotions are connected. Jay and Dr. Sara also explore one of today’s most misunderstood topics: women’s health and birth control. Dr. Sara explains how the pill, though widely used, can disrupt hormone balance, increase inflammation, and even affect fertility, insights many women never hear about. She breaks down what’s really happening inside the body and offers practical ways to restore balance through nutrition, testing, and natural alternatives. Together, they also discuss how emotional stress and relationships deeply influence hormonal health, and why learning to understand and manage your body’s signals is one of the most empowering steps you can take for your well-being. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Balance Your Hormones Naturally How to Manage Stress and Lower Cortisol How to Reset Your Body in Just 3 Days How to Heal Fatigue by Listening to Your Body How to Transition Off Birth Control Safely How to Support Fertility and Hormone Health How to Regulate Before You React When you slow down, nourish yourself, and make small, consistent changes, you create space for balance to return. Health isn’t about perfection or control; it’s about awareness, alignment, and kindness toward yourself.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger challenges the mindset that the need to rest, recharge, and reset is an indulgence: it is a necessity. Constant burnout and chronic stress are not normal. We can't sustain staying in survival mode forever. So how do we recognize the signs of being on the brink of a crash? How do we break the burnout cycle? Cindy defines what we should feel like when rested and explains how to stop seeing exhaustion as a badge of honor. It's time to abandon chronic stress for a healthy reset.  Rest and reset, as defined by Cindy, is not just booking a beach vacation. It's about resetting our nervous system so we're not constantly running on fumes. And it means viewing rest not as something earned after being productive, but as a necessary function of success. She outlines three common triggers that keep us locked in survival mode: 1. Scarcity of recognition, 2. Unequal workloads, and 3. The ‘do more with less' culture.Cindy identifies five common warning signs of being forever on the brink of burnout: 1. Constant exhaustion, 2. Everything feels overwhelming 3. Emotional reactivity, 4. Joy feels like a distant concept, and 5. Forgetfulness and brain fog. Why do all those things feel normal in our lives right now? They're not. Rest is not a reward for productivity; it's a biological necessity. Cindy asks us to identify the kind of rest we need: 1. Physical rest, 2. Emotional rest, 3. Creative rest, 4. Social rest, or 5. Sensory rest. When we can identify that, we can follow her guide to restoration and reset.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Pressing PauseAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Stress is not just caused by undesirable circumstances. If you attribute overwhelm, unexpected situations, or hardship as the source of your chronic stress, you are assigning blame in the wrong places.  In today's episode, Lisa debunks the misconception that stress is only caused by things you don't like or situations you don't want to be in. You can be doing what you love, living with purpose, and still deal with chronic stress.  We use the word stress too casually, and that flippancy dilutes the severity of what it really means for something to be stressful. Lisa shares the science behind how fatal chronic stress is and why we need to eliminate it from our lives urgently. And she explains the four main indications of stress. She provides a way to measure your stress level in each of these categories and offers strategies to help you recognize, accept, and implement change.   Are you ready to get started? Tune in to learn how to discover how stressed you really are and what you can do to take steps toward eliminating chronic stress for good. Then take Lisa's Mini Stress Assessment and see if you are a candidate to join Lisa's community, CLARITY™, designed to support you in your journey to optimize your health by eliminating chronic stress.    COACH ME LIVE SESSION If today's episode hit home, why not bring your question directly to the mic?

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the growing field of environmental neuroscience and what new research is uncovering about microplastics and brain health. Microplastics are everywhere—from oceans and soil to food and even the air we breathe. While they have long been recognized as an environmental issue, scientists are now finding evidence that they may also influence how the brain functions and ages.Molly explains how microplastics can interact with the brain through inflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted signaling. She shares a striking new study linking microplastic exposure in genetically vulnerable mice to Alzheimer's-like changes, and she unpacks what this might mean for humans. Alongside the science, Molly offers practical strategies to reduce exposure and emphasizes that protecting your brain is about progress, not perfection.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat microplastics are and how they enter our bodiesWhy researchers are concerned about their effects on the brainThe role of neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted signaling in everyday symptoms like brain fog and mood changesHow environmental exposures may interact with genetic risk factors for dementiaSeven practical steps you can take to reduce microplastic exposure in daily lifeKey Quote“Protecting your brain is never about one big thing. It is about many small things working together. Alcohol, sleep, stress, nutrition, and yes, even the environment, are all parts of the same ecosystem.”Resources and ReferencesWashington Post (Sept 2025): Study links microplastics to Alzheimer's-like symptoms in miceWorld Health Organization reports on microplastic exposureResearch on APOE4 and microplastic interactions in mouse modelsPrevious Think Thursday episodes: World Brain Day—5 Habits to Keep Your Brain SHARP, Chronic Stress and Your Memory ★ Support this podcast ★

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Martin Picard, Chair in Energy and Health, and Professor of Behavioral Medicine at Columbia University, as well as head of the Mitochondrial PsychoBiology Lab.

Dr. Martin Picard, Chair in Energy and Health, and Professor of Behavioral Medicine at Columbia University, as well as head of the Mitochondrial PsychoBiology Lab, delves into the complex functions of mitochondria beyond their well-known role as cellular powerhouses. Dr. Picard shares his journey from biology to psychobiology, exploring the intersection between mitochondrial function, mental health, and overall well-being. He discusses how mitochondria not only produce energy but also influence behaviors, stress responses, and healing processes. The conversation highlights recent findings on mitochondrial roles in psychiatric disorders, the impact of diet and lifestyle on mitochondrial health, and the potential of ketogenic diets in treating psychiatric conditions. Dr. Picard also previews his upcoming book on understanding life and health from an energetic perspective. The episode emphasizes a holistic approach to health, integrating mind-body practices and lifestyle changes to support mitochondrial function.

Why do conditions like MCAS, hEDS, POTS, autoimmunity, and chronic stress so often appear together? And more importantly...can they be reversed? In this episode, I sit down with Adrian Davidson, a writer and researcher exploring the intersections of health, wellness, politics, and pop culture. Adrian has a lifelong passion for storytelling and brings a perspective that is both critical and compassionate. She dives into everything from health theories to cultural phenomena, blending broader commentary with her own lived experiences on her socials.Adrian has reversed multiple complex conditions in her own life, including: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)Multiple Autoimmune conditionsAnemiaInfertilityHypothyroidismNarcolepsyAnxiety, OCD, ADHD, hallucinationsAutism and Gender DysphoriaIBSShe opens up about what it was like to live with these challenges, how they interconnected, and the steps she took to truly heal. We dive into:What the RCCX cluster is and how it links MCAS, POTS, hEDS, and moreThe connection between genes, trauma, and nervous system stressHow Adrian turned her own health around—moving from illness and infertility to resilience, thriving, and having her 3rd baby at 40.What you can do if you suspect these patterns are at play in your life✨ This episode blends science, lived experience, and hope. If you've ever felt “wired differently” or stuck in cycles of reactivity and illness, Adrian's story will show you that reversal and healing are possible.

I'm sitting down with mental health advocate Brian Sachetta to discuss something that affects so many of us: how chronic stress triggers autoimmune flares. Brian breaks down why our nervous systems evolved for acute threats but now struggle with constant modern stressors like social media and work pressure. The key insight? Healing only happens in our parasympathetic state, but we're stuck in fight-or-flight mode.We share practical tools you can use anywhere: breathing techniques, movement, eye exercises, and grounding practices that actually work with your evolutionary wiring instead of against it.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit: inspiredliving.show/208

Are you secretly a master at avoiding conflict and saying “yes” when you really want to scream “no?” In this eye-opening episode of “Strong Mind, Strong Body”, host Angie Miller gets real about the hidden health crisis behind conflict avoidance and people pleasing—and how these self-sacrificing habits may be costing you more than you realize. Drawing from her own childhood as the youngest in a busy single-parent household, Angie shares touching personal stories and the surprising ways her people-pleasing tendencies shaped her life. She explores why so many of us become emotional caretakers, putting everyone else's happiness above our own, and how this chronic self-neglect shows up as stress, sleep issues, tension, and even resentment. Backed by research and real-life client experiences, this monologue presentation reveals why people pleasing isn't a personality flaw, but a protective strategy—one that may have helped in the past but can keep us trapped in anxiety and one-sided relationships today. Angie dives into the roots of these patterns, why women especially face social pressure to accommodate, and—most importantly—how you can break free.

Most people think health problems start in the gut — but what if the real first domino falls even further north? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we begin our Barrier Repair series with Part One: The Root Cause Cascade. You'll learn how stress, sleep disruption, toxins, and trauma dysregulate the brain and nervous system, flipping the body into fight-or-flight mode. This subtle shift weakens digestion, shuts down bile flow, and sets off a domino effect:

There is no escaping stress but cortisol in menopause changes. With that, your stress response to nearly everything may change.  You don't feel it at first but then there's unexplained weight gain or belly fat. There's less focus or concentration than you used to have. It shows up in different ways for each of us.    My Guest: Sara Banta is a Certified Dietary Supplement Professional and member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, helping people take their health into their own hands using cutting-edge natural supplements, DNA-driven nutrition, and real lifestyle solutions. She's the founder of Accelerated Health Products, the award-winning Most Innovative Supplement Company FOUR years running, a pioneer in functional wellness and with a passion for uncovering root causes and optimizing the body's innate healing systems.

Sara is on a mission to make vibrant health accessible to everyone.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:00:00] What is the difference between acute and chronic stress? [00:00:00] What is causing chronic stress? [00:00:00] Why is this so critical to understand what impacts cortisol in menopause? [00:00:00] How does it affect muscle gain and fat loss? [00:00:00] How is the thyroid related to the adrenals? [00:00:00] How can you maintain and build lean muscle while under stress over 50? [00:00:00] What supplements help get your adrenals back on track? [00:00:00] What lifestyle habits either kill or improve cortisol?   Why Cortisol in Menopause Makes Stress Feel Different   Acute vs Chronic Cortisol Acute stress Short-term, natural response to immediate danger. Cortisol helps survival (fight-or-flight). Immune system goes up. Chronic stress Prolonged, ongoing; body never recovers. Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated → negative health effects.   Causes of Chronic Stress in Midlife & Menopause Perimenopause & menopause: the stressors don't change, but the response to them does. Common triggers: lack of sleep, poor diet, environmental toxins, over-exercise, emotional stress.   Cortisol's Effect on Muscle Gain & Fat Loss Elevated cortisol breaks down muscle tissue. Interferes with protein synthesis, leading to muscle loss. Promotes fat storage, especially visceral (belly) fat. Lowers metabolism → makes weight management harder.   Lifestyle Solutions for Cortisol in Menopause Diet: whole foods, protein-rich, healthy fats, avoid processed sugar. Supplements: adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola), magnesium, vitamin C or Sara Banta's Cortisol Reset Detox Recovery: sleep, restorative exercise (yoga, walking, pilates), breathwork, meditation.   Connect with Sara: Website - Accelerated Health Products and Sara Banta Health Facebook - Accelerated Health Products  Instagram - @acceleratedhealthproducts  X - Sara Banta  YouTube - @AcceleratedHealthSaraBanta  TikTok - @ahpsupplements_    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - The New Menopause Therapy: Confessions of a Femme Fatale Next Episode - Aging with Power, (Without an Outage) with Vonda Wright More Like This: To Detox and If So How to Detox: Midlife Woman to Midlife Woman Is Your Liver Preventing Muscle Growth in Menopause?

Dr. Manas Kshirsagar  is an Ayurvedic doctor who comes from a Rig Vedic Brahman tradition with an extensive Ayurvedic background. He graduated from Aloha Ayurveda Academy and the Maharishi University of Management. He's an acclaimed wellness consultant, Ayurvedic consultant and health educator. He provides a holistic approach to medicine, including nutrition, yoga, meditation, detoxification, and effective stress management.Today we're diving into a topic that's reshaping how we think about modern health, the profound connection between our gut and our mind. You've probably heard the phrase trust your gut, but do you know what makes your gut so trustworthy? Modern science says it is our second brain: the Enteric Nervous System.The ENS is a vast network of over a hundred million neurons embedded in the walls of our digestive tract, mostly in the small intestine and colon. That's seven to eight times more neurons than in the spinal cord, which contains around 13.5 million. Our brain contains around 86 billion neurons. Our gut does not just follow orders from the brain.It processes reacts and even remembers patterns and digestion and emotion. It functions independently of the brain, but also communicates with it locally via the vagus nerve. It communicates with the rest of the body through nerves. It uses neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and actually produces 90 to 95% of serotonin.Both the brain and gut play a major role in mood immunity and digestion both have their own reflexes, sensory neurons and motor neurons, and both respond to stress and emotion, like how anxiety can cause diarrhea. Your gut feels emotional shifts even before your brain processes them, which is why you might get a gut feeling like butterflies or stomach upset during stress.And Ayurveda, this beautifully mirrors the idea that Agni or digestive fire is central to not just physical health, but mental health and emotional resilience. The gut is also a home for Ojas, our vital immunity and vitality. So if our ENS is inflamed or disrupted, our whole system is compromised. In today's episode, we'll explore the enteric nervous system, the complex neural network in your belly that's ultimately connected to your brain.We'll unpack how digestive orders like IBS, bloating and constipation are not just physical issues, but often reflections of deeper emotional patterns. We'll also look at how chronic stress, anxiety, and depression can disrupt our gut's natural rhythm, and how Ayurveda and modern science together offer tools for healing from the inside out.Whether you've struggled with digestion, mood, or both, this episode offers insights to help you feel more grounded, nourished, and connected with your own inner intelligence. Send us a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkout Book a 1:1 with Sasha at https://www.ojasoasis.com/book For 50% off your initial intake consultation, mention you're a subscriber of the podcast.

*Audio problem now fixed!

She shares compelling evidence that happier employees enhance the bottom line, making it clear that investing in effective wellbeing strategies is not just logical but essential. Jen emphasises the importance of getting the foundational elements right, like psychological safety and fair pay, rather than the typical perks that often miss the mark. Jen has the lowdown on whether workplace satisfaction varies across generations, what the optimal model is for hybrid working, and strategies that individuals can apply to enhance their workplace happiness. If you're feeling overwhelmed or unfulfilled at work, tune in for actionable steps you can take to regain control and advocate for your own happiness, or to create a thriving workplace for your team. TakeawaysHappiness at work depends heavily on foundational needs being met, not perks.Generational differences impact attitudes to work and motivational drivers.There is an optimal model for hybrid work that enhances employee engagement but most organisations are getting it wrong.Leadership plays a crucial role in shaping workplace happiness and culture but individuals can take proactive steps to improve their work satisfaction.Relationships at work significantly affect overall well-being and job satisfaction.Creating a culture of kindness is key to enhancing employee morale and productivity.Connect with Jen:https://www.jennifer-moss.com/Jen's latest book:Why Are We Here?

In this episode of the Health Accelerator Community (HAC) through Ageless Future, Regan Archibald explores the root causes of brain fog and cognitive decline, highlighting how chronic stress, poor sleep, and neuroinflammation can impair brain function. He explains the role of the hippocampus in memory and how changes in brain structure, particularly due to aging or conditions like Alzheimer's, can be detected early through symptoms such as forgetfulness, social withdrawal, and diminished focus. Regan discusses how environmental toxins, allergies, and lifestyle stressors disrupt neuroplasticity and outlines the EPIC framework—Emotions, Pain, Infections, Chemicals—as key inflammatory triggers. He introduces actionable strategies to restore brain health, including diagnostic testing, optimizing sleep, exercise, cortisol regulation, targeted nutrients, and innovative peptide and regenerative therapies like cerebrallysin, CMAX, and umbilical cord plasma. Listeners are encouraged to monitor their cognitive clarity over 30 days using wearables and journaling, with an invitation to explore deeper evaluation and support through upcoming retreats and personalized protocols. www.agelessfuture.com

In this episode, Heather McKean explores the emotional and subconscious roots of adrenal fatigue, from childhood trauma and people-pleasing to fear of vulnerability and spiritual burnout. Through relatable stories and mind-opening insights, you'll discover how long-held survival patterns quietly drain your life force — and how Mind Change can help you finally break free. If you're tired of being tired, this episode could be your turning point.In this episode:

When your child is constantly overwhelmed, melting down over transitions, or avoiding tasks altogether, it's easy to feel like they're just not trying. But the truth is much deeper than behavior. Their brain is likely dysregulated—and stuck in survival mode.Let's walk through what's really happening inside your child's brain when they can't focus, remember directions, or sit still… and what we can do to help them thrive.What Happens to the Brain When a Child Experiences Trauma or Chronic Stress?Trauma hijacks the nervous system. When a child experiences trauma or ongoing stress, their brain shifts into survival mode—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. This automatic response shuts down the very brain regions responsible for learning, focus, and behavior regulation.One of the first areas impacted is the prefrontal cortex, which governs executive functioning. When this part of the brain goes offline, your child may struggle with impulse control, organization, memory, and attention—not because they aren't capable, but because their brain is busy trying to stay safe.At the same time, the body floods with stress hormones like cortisol, keeping your child in a hypervigilant state. They may appear jumpy, on edge, or quick to react—because their nervous system is stuck in overdrive.Sensory input also becomes overwhelming, making even routine classroom activities feel chaotic or threatening. Transitions, bright lights, or loud sounds can easily trigger a shutdown or meltdown.Focus and memory decline when the brain is in survival modeImpulsivity and disorganization are signs the prefrontal cortex is offlineSensory overwhelm makes learning environments feel unsafeMeltdowns, avoidance, or zoning out are protective—not defiant—responsesReal-Life ExampleOne mom shared how her daughter would break down in tears every time math came up—not because she didn't understand the numbers, but because her nervous system went straight into panic mode. That fear of failure was rooted in earlier struggles that left her feeling ashamed and defeated.Once they shifted the focus to calming her brain first—with simple regulation strategies—her anxiety around math began to ease, and learning became possible again.What Does Emotional Dysregulation Look Like in the Classroom?Emotional dysregulation doesn't follow one script. It shows up in so many different ways—and that's exactly why kids get so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or mislabeled.

In Part 2 of this series, we shift from understanding how chronic stress disrupts your vagus nerve—and everything downstream like hormones, digestion, immunity, and brain function—to learning how to rebuild from the inside out. If you're feeling burnt out, bloated, foggy, or emotionally reactive, this episode is for you. Chronic stress isn't just in your head—it rewires your biology. But you can rewire it back. You'll learn: The science behind vagus nerve dysfunction in chronic stress Daily practices to rebuild vagal tone (breathwork, fascia release, cold/heat, mindset shifts) How to calm the nervous system before jumping into gut or hormone protocols The path to better sleep, mood, motility, and energy through nervous system repair Your health doesn't just depend on what you eat or how you move—it depends on your state. Let's help you shift out of fight-or-flight and into healing mode.

With how unnaturally fast paced life is, social media notifications, neverending emails, letters in the mail to respond to, staying aware of all of the various toxins we're exposed to, dodging grifters online that just want to take your money and sell you their program, it is very easy to be chronically stressed. Practices such as turning off your notifications, putting your phone in airplane mode when you are walking in the forest, keeping do not disturb on all the time, carving time out of your day to not stare at screens, are some common strategies to reduce stress.  In this episode Dr Scott Sherr returns to the show to talk about: why its not just about healing your trauma, the mitochondrial harm that occurs with chronic stress, the role of GABA, how methylene blue supplementation can help, his thoughts on alcohol and cannabis, carbon dioxide therapy, and more.  Dr Scott Sherr's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/?hl=en Troscriptions products: https://www.troscriptions.com/?rfsn=3792577.b0695c My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by Nicholas Jimenez: https://spoti.fi/4cte2nD

Do you feel like your body is always on high alert? Does emotional stress lead to a racing heart, skin breakouts, or stomach problems? If you're an empath or highly sensitive person (HSP), you might be experiencing mast cell activation, and it's more common than you think. In this episode, Dr. Aimie explores the hidden biology behind why sensitive people get sick from stress. Here's what's happening: Your body has special immune cells called mast cells. They act like security guards. But after trauma or chronic stress, these cells can become overreactive. They can treat everyday experiences like threats, even normal conversations or emotional triggers. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your body treats emotional stress like a physical emergency How your immune system gets stuck in “danger mode” (and why it's not your fault) How to naturally calm an overactive nervous system Supplements for mast cell activation Dr. Aimie's favorite technique that resets your nervous system How blood sugar levels affect emotional reactivity Simple daily habits to support nervous system healing Whether you're someone who feels emotionally or physically drained after social interactions, a practitioner absorbing clients' trauma, or someone who seems to absorb energy from others, this episode will give you practical tools to feel safer in your body and break the cycle of overwhelm.

As it turns out, aging isn't just about wrinkles and gray hair. It's about your immune system silently giving out years in advance. If you're dealing with chronic stress, sleep issues, inflammation, hormone shifts, or just feel like your body is aging faster than it should, there's a test that might explain exactly why—and how to turn it around. I sat down with Nikolina Lauc, CEO of GlycanAge, to unpack the science of glycans—those powerful, complex sugars that serve as early warning signals for disease and inflammation, even a decade before symptoms show up. Nikolina shares how glycans can predict things like hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis years before they happen, how menopause accelerates aging by 10+ years, why stress adds 15 years to your biological clock, and how hormone replacement, moderate exercise, and even switching from HIIT to yoga can roll your biological age backward. This is the kind of info that gives you back control of your health.   “We can predict hypertension six years ahead of time with 98% accuracy. We can predict rheumatoid arthritis 10 years ahead of time with 92% accuracy.” ~ Nikolina Lauc   In This Episode: - Backstory: What are glycans, and why should you measure them? - Research and predictive power of GlycanAge - What to expect from a GlycanAge test - Top factors that improve your biological age - The effects of stress on your biological clock - Exercise and its effects on aging - Key aging differences between men and women - Things to do if your biological age is high - How to get the GlycanAge test   Products & Resources Mentioned: GlycanAge Biological Age Test: You can get it from https://glycanage.com  Puori PW1 Protein: Get 20% off with code WENDY at https://puori.com/wendy  Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Nikolina Lauc Nikolina Lauc is the co-founder and CEO of GlycanAge and has helped pioneer a revolutionary way to measure biological aging through glycans—complex carbohydrates that change with immune system wear and tear.

In this culturally timely episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz talks with Jacob Spehar—licensed mental health and addiction counselor and founder of Courageous Way Counseling. Together, they unpack the concept of “Death by Distraction”—how our dependence on screens, overstimulation, social media, hustle culture, and avoidance behaviors are not only numbing us but quietly stealing our joy and dismantling our families, physical and mental health, spiritual connection, and connections to one another.   Jake shares both clinical insights and practical tools for interrupting the dopamine loops, rewiring your life with intention, and simplifying your environment for healing and joy. Jamie gets vulnerable about her own struggles, and together, they explore what it really takes to step off the conveyor belt and start living. Expect raw call outs, practical ideas, and a push for radical change - starting with bold, countercultural choices.   This episode invites you to slow down and start leading your life and family with presence and purpose.   You're not powerless. Start small. Go countercultural. It only seems hard until you do it. It only seems weird until everyone else starts doing it, too.     Topics Covered: Screen addiction, social media, dopamine dysregulation Time as our most valuable and fleeting asset Trauma as a root cause The link between distraction and self-medication Parenting and restoring the family unit Men's mental health and community Why family meals, boredom, and silence matter Reclaiming mornings for neuroplasticity and spiritual alignment The invisible cost of overcommitment, youth sports, and the hustle How boundaries, presence, and “no” create better outcomes   Resources Mentioned: Find a PHWC or NTP The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk Codependent No More.
