Podcasts about community wellness

In this Your Health University episode, Jamie sits down with Nurse Practitioner, Brooke Howard, President of Clinical Operations, to talk about Biote, wellness, and bioidentical hormone optimization—and why it has been life-changing for both of them. Brooke shares how a trusted colleague pushed her to look deeper when she was exhausted, gaining weight, and “holding it together by a thread.” Jamie opens up about anxiety, ADD medication, and how feeling hormonally balanced gave him the confidence to step into a new chapter. This conversation is for anyone who feels “off,” has been told their labs are “normal,” and wants to explore a more complete picture of wellness. www.YourHealth.Org

Owning your Attention with Prof Larry Berger on The Living Process with Greg Madison, E045. This is a packed episode with Larry Berger talking about ‘Attention' and then ‘attention activism' as an attempt for humans to regain some ownership over our attention. Larry talks about his correspondence with Gene, the ‘fracking of attention' and the political implications of where we place our attention. There are a number of links below for further exploration of these topics. Also check out Larry's book, The Politics of Attention and the Promise of Mindfulness. “Lawrence Berger calls for the recognition of attention as indispensable for reshaping our traditional views of the body, self, and politics. Rigorous yet accessible, this book offers readers interested in hermeneutics, phenomenology, and political philosophy valuable new insights into the gathering power of attention for individual and community formation.”Episode 45 - Owning Your Attention with Larry Berger: https://youtu.be/yn6qlgwqzCcThe Living Process - all episodes and podcast links: https://www.londonfocusing.com/the-living-process/TLP YouTube video channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC0TgN6iVu3n9d9q2l43z1xBMYY3p9FQLLawrence Berger is a former professor of business and currently teaches philosophy while writing about his main themes, including, “Being There: Heidegger on Why Our Presence Matters”. This article appeared in the New York Times philosophy blog and was the most shared article on the day of its publication in 2015. In addition to numerous articles on the philosophy of attention, Larry has recently published the book, The Politics of Attention and the Promise of Mindfulness, which gives Gendlin's A Process Model a central role.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Tammeca Rochester. SUMMARY OF THE TAMMECA ROCHESTER INTERVIEW From “Money Making Conversations Master Class” with Rushion McDonald 1. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Spotlight Tammeca Rochester, founder and CEO of Harlem Cycle, and her journey from engineering and corporate marketing into entrepreneurship. Highlight the importance of holistic wellness, community‑based fitness, and representation within the fitness industry. Inspire entrepreneurs—especially Black women—to pursue business ownership, develop strong business plans, and stay committed to their vision despite barriers. Overall, the interview serves as both a success story and a lesson in entrepreneurship, community impact, and personal transformation. 2. Summary of Key Themes A. Re‑Defining Herself Through Education & Career Changes Tammeca explains why she pursued multiple degrees—from Spelman and Georgia Tech to NYU Stern—and how each phase of her life motivated a new direction. She began in engineering, shifted to business, and ultimately found her passion in wellness. B. The Birth of Harlem Cycle Launched out of personal stress relief and a desire for culturally inclusive fitness spaces. Indoor cycling reminded her of joyful childhood bike rides in Atlanta. She wanted a wellness space where Black people felt seen, represented, and culturally connected—something missing from other cycling studios she attended. C. Building a Community-Centered Fitness Brand Harlem Cycle blends movement, music, and culture, playing the genres she grew up with—reggae, soca, hip‑hop—and fostering a socially connected environment.She stresses that fitness isn’t just physical but also emotional and mental health. D. Entrepreneurship: The Real Story Tammeca self‑financed her business after being denied a bank loan. She built her studio while still working full‑time and caring for a young child. Her first year was grueling—waking up at 5:30am and working until after 9pm daily. She emphasizes the importance of writing a business plan, using realistic projections, and staying true to your vision. E. Mentorship, Representation, and Industry Impact Over 60% of her team began as Harlem Cycle clients she later trained to become instructors. She aims to shift the fitness industry to include more diverse voices and accessible community wellness options. She plans for expansion, opening a third Harlem Cycle location in Newark to serve another community with limited wellness options. 3. Key Takeaways 1. You can redefine yourself at any point in life. “We can always redefine ourselves at any moment in life.” 2. Wellness must address the whole person. “Fitness is not just physical… it’s emotional and mental well‑being.” 3. Create community spaces where people feel represented. Tammeca built Harlem Cycle because she felt isolated in other fitness spaces as the only person of color. She wanted a studio rooted in Black culture and community. 4. Entrepreneurship requires discipline, planning, and sacrifice. “Write out your plan… and stay true to your plan.” “Just because you build it doesn’t mean they’ll come.” 5. Community impact drives her business model. Harlem Cycle isn’t just a workout studio—it's a culturally rooted community center focused on mental, emotional, and physical health. 6. Representation & mentorship matter. “60% of my team started as clients that we trained.” 4. Memorable Quotes Here are the strongest, most quotable lines from Tammeca: On Reinvention “Each time has been a moment in life where I evolved because of a goal I personally wanted.” On Holistic Fitness “Fitness to me is all about how we take care of our bodies—not just our physical body, but our emotional well‑being, our mental well‑being.” On Creating Harlem Cycle “I didn’t want to be the only person of color in the room—again. I wanted a place where my community could be seen.” On Entrepreneurship “Just because you build it doesn’t mean they’ll come… back down those numbers by 90%.” On Community Impact “We’re changing the fitness industry… starting here in Harlem by training our clients to be part of the wellness industry.” On Cultural Integrity “We don’t care about competition here—it’s about community.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you tired of a healthcare system that only treats symptoms but leaves the deeper issues untouched? Have you ever left the doctor's office with a prescription in hand but no clear path to real, lasting health? What if the secret to well-being isn't found in another medication, but in the everyday choices you make and the knowledge you're given to advocate for yourself?In this episode, we welcome Dr. Dustin Portela—a Board-Certified Dermatologist and Surgeon with advanced training in Mohs surgery and a strong focus on skin cancer treatment and prevention. He has published in medical journals, lectured nationally, and is committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Portela is passionate about serving underserved populations. He operates a 39-foot mobile dermatology clinic offering free skin cancer screenings and leverages his social media platforms, where he has built an audience of over 4 million, to educate people on how to make better decisions about their health.What makes Dr. Portela stand out isn't just his medical expertise—it's his mission to elevate well-being inside and out. He doesn't stop at treating the skin; he empowers patients and audiences worldwide to make informed, holistic decisions about their health. His journey from walking away from a conventional medical career to building a purpose-driven practice is proof of his conviction and passion.Quotes:"At the bottom of my funnel always is, I want to help you make better decisions for your health. I want you to be happier. I want your mental health to be better." - Dr. Dustin Portela"I just decided I'm going to do this someday. I want a mobile clinic and go out and just do some good, and I don't want to charge people for it." - Dr. Dustin Portela"It is important to entertain people, or they're not going to stick around for the message that you want to deliver." - Dr. Dustin PortelaActionable Takeaways:Evaluate your own healthcare journey: Ask yourself if you're truly advocating for your health and if you understand the long-term impact of your daily choices. Seek out practitioners who educate and empower you, not just treat symptoms.Simplify your skincare routine: Focus on basic, effective products (cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen) and avoid being swayed by hype or fear-based marketing.

As part of a community health partnership with Valley Health, in this episode of the Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Mike Wade, chair of the organizing committee, to share details about this year's Community Wellness Festival, held at the Apple Blossom Mall in partnership with Shenandoah University on Saturday, February 22 from 10am - 5pm. The event promises a day filled with health, fitness, and community spirit.  The festival, celebrating its 31st year, is an annual event that brings together more than 80 exhibitors, including Valley Health Services and other community organizations. It aims to offer something for everyone, from health education to fitness demonstrations. Mike highlighted the festival's growth and dedication to public wellness. Since moving to the Apple Blossom Mall, the festival has become a community hub for health education. 'The mall is a very non-threatening and accessible environment,' said Wade, 'It's a great place for the festival, and we get to pull in people who might not have known about it otherwise.' This year's festival will have a wide array of events tailored for all age groups. For children, Shenandoah University's Nursing program will lead the Healthy Kids experience, featuring health education activities and giveaways. 'It's a great way for kids to start learning about healthy habits,' Janet noted. One of the festival's biggest draws is the variety of free and low-cost health screenings available. Services include blood pressure checks, cardiovascular screenings, and blood glucose testing. 'It's an initial entry point checkup,' said Wade. 'If your blood pressure reads high, you'll be advised to contact your primary care physician for follow-up.' Additionally, there will be fitness demonstrations running throughout the day, showcasing activities like Irish dancing and music therapy by Shenandoah University. A unique highlight is the boxing program for patients with Parkinson's disease. For those unfamiliar with virtual health visits, the festival offers a practical demonstration led by Valley Health Urgent Care. Attendees can experience a mock virtual visit to understand the process better, making it easier to opt for telehealth services in the future. Wade mentioned the community spirit palpable at the festival. 'I have people I call my festival friends,' he said, elaborating that he looks forward to seeing familiar faces each year. The festival not only provides health resources but also fosters this sense of camaraderie and collective wellbeing.

Have you noticed big, new monitors all around the Dublin Community Recreation Center? New cardio machines and free weights? And the super easy way to scan into the Rec Center with the app? There's so much going on, and there's about to be a lot more! A big refresh is beginning that'll bring even more space and programming to your wellness journey. Since so many people look to reset in a new year, we thought it would be the perfect time to talk about all the exciting things at the DCRC with our Recreation Administrator of Corporate and Community Wellness, Mollie Steiner. Fortunately for us, Mollie isn't big on the word “resolution,” so Lindsay and Bruce ask her for motivational ways to work toward a wellness goal that involves having fun, finding joy and practicing self-care. She also shares her very best advice for staying motivated throughout the year and not just here at the beginning. Plus, the wellness trends to look for in 2025! This episode brings with it a very personal story, too; Mollie shares some incredible highs and truly scary lows as a parent. Her daughter, Abby, is a world-class athlete and former college All-American who tried out for the U.S. Olympic team this past summer. Her other daughter got a cancer diagnosis while she was in high school at Dublin Coffman. Mollie's personal and professional journey has been one of commitment to wellness, helping others and living in gratitude. Lessons that'll hopefully always be trendy and never go out of style.
