Watch our interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/MoQT39pXHhE  Welcome back to SEASON 13 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 6 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. For today's episode #361, we meet with a returning guest, Dr. Sui Wong, a Leading Neuro-Ophthalmologist, who we met on EP 343[i], last August where we looked at: ✔ Dr. Sui Wong's career path in medicine, that led her to write 4 books to help her patients (and the world) improve their brain health. ✔ How understanding our eye health can help us to prevent neurological disorders (like Alzheimer's Disease) in the future. ✔ What common neuro-ophthalmology cases she sees. On today's EP 361, we will dive deep into her NEW book, Sweet Spot for Brain Health: Why Blood Sugar Matters for a Clear, Fog-Free Brain.[ii] ✔ What is the brain-glucose connection? ✔ How does glucose impact cognitive performance? ✔ How can we better prepare to eat food that we know will spike our blood sugar levels? ✔ What health problems can too much sugar lead to? ✔ Helpful tools to create a brain-healthy diet. ✔ Supplements that are important for brain health and cognition. Just a reminder: Dr. Sui H. Wong, is a Neurologist and Neuro-Ophthalmologist based in London, United Kingdom. In addition to her clinical work as a medical doctor and physician, Dr. Wong is an active neuroscience researcher, who translates pertinent and clinically relevant questions into research, to improve person-centered patient outcomes. Additionally, she has the qualifications and experience to consider a broader spectrum of lifestyle-specific interventions. Dr. Wong's holistic approach in empowering patients has been recognized with many awards, and this is just the beginning for her. When I was introduced to Dr. Wong, an active neuroscience researcher with a mission of translating important clinically relevant questions into research for improved person-centred patient outcomes, I knew I had to speak with her. She is a widely-published author and researcher with over 110+ peer-reviewed publications in medical journals, chapters and conference abstracts, to date.  Let's meet Dr. Sui Wong, for the second time on our podcast, and see what we can learn together about what she has uncovered with her research of the importance of understanding our blood sugar levels, for a fog-free brain. Welcome Dr. Sui Wong! It's wonderful to see you again. What's been going on with you since we met last August? Well, let's get straight to your new book, Sweet Spot for Brain Health: Why Blood Sugar Matters for a Clear, Fog-Free Brain. I absolutely love this topic, and I've covered a few episodes where we looked at the impact of sugar on our health and wellness, with EP 275[iii] The Damaging Effects of Sugar on the Brain and Body. I'm open that while I will eat chocolate, (sparingly) I watch the sugar content in EVERYTHING I eat, because it just doesn't make me feel good to have a sugar-rush to the brain. Besides chocolate, I'd say I live a sugar-free lifestyle, (since around 2005, so for the past 20 years) and it's not something I even think about anymore. So when I see just how damaging sugar is to our health, I want to do what I can to help others to try this lifestyle, and see how they feel. INTRO Q: What was it for you that made you want to cover this topic, even with tips for a 12-week challenge at the end of the book? Q1: In the very beginning of your book, you ask the question “have you ever wondered about the hidden connection between what you eat and how your brain works” and I honestly had not, until I was at my foot doctor, telling him that my feet were going numb with exercise, and he had just written a book, called Sugar Crush: How to Reduce Inflammation, Reverse Nerve Damage and Reclaim Good Health[iv] and he handed me a piece of paper that would involve my pathway to a sugar-free diet. When was it that you began to connect the dots with how our brains work, connected to sugar? What is the brain-glucose connection? Q2: Just thinking back to my sugar-free diet, that began 20 years ago, my doctor had me stop eating high glucose fruits like pineapple, and replace them with low glycemic fruits. I remember us both laughing as we realized that bananas were not on the list, and I remember thinking “what can I eat?” and it was a massive mindset shift. You've broken your book into Themes and theme 1 that covers Chapters 1-4 covers how glucose helps your brain to work, as well as how your body breaks down food to give us energy. Can you tell us what we should all know about glucose, how it impacts cognitive performance, and how we can balance the sugar we ingest so it's not too much, or too little? Q2B: Is the only way to REALLY know this, to measure what we eat with a blood glucose monitor to see how what we are eating impacts our blood sugar levels? Q2C: How can we better prepare to eat foods we know will spike our blood sugar? Q3: Then you cover Theme 2, in chapter 5, When Things Go Wrong with what happens when you blood sugar levels aren't right. We all have heard this, but can you tell us the problems too much sugar can lead us to? (like diabetes, insulin resistance, deteriorating vascular health, in addition to the impact on our brain health and overall well-being)? Q4: Then you cover Theme 3, what to do about it, in chapters 6-11 with practical tips to keep your blood sugar steady, and our brain in top shape. It's here that you cover diet, and this is a huge one, as many of us like eating, or cooking things in a certain way. I remember my doctor asking me to write down EVERYTHING I was eating, and what was in the sauces I was cooking things in. For example, I remember I liked this Fajita sauce, that was really high is sugar. So I had to find a replacement for it. Or learning what food were high glycemic. Or don't even get me started when I realized how bad alcohol is for the brain, especially when I had cut out so many things. I remember thinking “what is left for me to eat/drink” until I found replacements for everything that we know to be bad for the brain. What are the most helpful tools you have found for getting our heads around a brain-healthy diet? Q5: What natural remedies or supplements are important for brain health and cognition? Q6: What is your goal for us with this book? Q7: What are some challenges you see with people in your practice, or obstacles that get in the way? Q8: What have I missed that's important? Dr. Sui Wong, I want to thank you for coming back on the podcast for a second time. It was wonderful to catch up, and learn more about ways to improve our brain health and cognition, by finding this Sweet Spot for Brain Health. I will link your information for people to learn more about you in the show notes. What is next for you? FINAL THOUGHTS I couldn't end this episode without really thinking about this topic of the importance of finding our own “Sweet Spot for Brain Health.” I know that during the recording, I could think of a few ways that I can improve my own habits immediately, (like by making sure I am taking fish oil, and as well, will add some flax seed to my shakes or morning breakfast) or like Dr. Wong mentioned, to improve ourselves just a little bit, make a shift that's only about 1-3% and we can make a significant change in our future health. I hope you enjoyed this episode, and have written down some ideas to improve your health in ways that these small shifts will over time, help us all to keep our brains sharp, and fight off cognitive decline. And with that thought, I''ll close out this episode and will see you in May, with more interviews that will dive deeper into brain health and wellbeing. RESOURCES AND CONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode, Dr. Mort Orman, an internal medicine doctor and anger elimination coach, shares his personal journey with anger and reveals how he successfully eliminated it from his life. He explains that anger is not an unavoidable emotion but rather a reaction shaped by specific mental filters. By changing our perspective and understanding these filters, we can eliminate anger and live a more peaceful, fulfilling life.Key Takeaways:✅ Anger is generated through three primary filters: perceiving wrongdoing, feeling negatively impacted, and assigning blame. ✅ Traditional anger management techniques focus on controlling anger, while Dr. Orman's approach is about eliminating it altogether. ✅ Forgiveness is a powerful tool for releasing anger and fostering inner peace. ✅ Anger negatively impacts health, relationships, and professional life. ✅ Dr. Orman provides coaching programs and a book, Dr. Orman's Life-Changing Anger Cure, as resources for those looking to eliminate anger from their lives.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction and Personal Experience with Anger03:09 – Understanding the Three Filters of Anger09:07 – Changing Perspectives to Eliminate Anger15:33 – Coaching Programs and Book for Anger Elimination21:06 – The Damaging Effects of Anger28:30 – The Connection Between Forgiveness and AngerLinks & Resources:

Watch our interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/T0R3uvBbHPE Welcome back to SEASON 12 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 6 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. On today's episode #350, we meet with Dr. David Stephens[i], a clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist, and consultant with extensive experience in brain function, restoration and mental health. On today's EPISODE #350 “Unlocking Brain Health with Dr. David Stephens” we will cover: ✔ Groundbreaking insights into how glucose can be a game-changer in restoring brain function, mental health, and overall productivity. ✔ Dr. Stephens shares his compelling journey that led to the revelation of glucose as a crucial element in brain restoration. ✔ The perceptible differences between glucose and sugar ✔  Unravel common myths about brain health, while challenging traditional paradigms. Some quick facts about Dr. Stephens. He was the Former Director of Mental Health for three state prison systems Overseen mental health services in jails throughout the US Academic dean of an accredited graduate school of psychology Correctional and architectural neuroscience consultant Provides brain restoration services to individuals What drew me to Dr. Stephens is that our podcast took a turn towards health and wellness after the Pandemic, and a huge part of this direction has been focused on brain health. We have met many experts along the way who have shared tips and strategies to give us hope in our journey of life, but Dr. Stephens will take this hope to new heights if we can keep our minds open. While the front page of his website features the headline “Humanity Restored” when I went to the research[ii] behind his work, I was taken back a bit. It was all about glucose and its restorative effects on the brain and body.  Then I went to the peer reviewed studies[iii] to learn more, and realized that my understanding of glucose (what it is, how is glucose different from sugar (that I consider poison), and how can glucose be used to restore brain function)? All of my questions, I realized needed to be addressed before this interview. So, I watched some interviews Dr. Stephens had with other podcasters, and learned about “How to cure depression with glucose”[iv] and also where his work began where he connects hard science, and neuroscience, to spirituality.[v] Let's now meet Dr. David Stephens, where I will ask him to share his work and research that he has felt divinely inspired to share, and see if we can take this new knowledge and understanding, to break through our current paradigms, and move towards improved “physical, neurological, mental, emotional, and spiritual functions” (Stephens) of our brain health. Welcome Dr. David Stephens, thank you for joining me today. Dr. Stephens, before I even get into your research, your books, and your mission with your work, can we begin with where this journey began for you? I want to acknowledge how you feel that you were divinely guided with this work as I think that is important to address. Q1: Can we talk about our brain, and the most important discovery you think has come about in recent years (that the brain must have fuel to function the way it does?) What is the science behind this important fuel for our body? Q2: What about ketones as fuel for the brain? I ask this from understanding the keto diet (not saying it's the best solution for everyone, but some people do well on it). Can we not just use ketones the same way you are saying we can use glucose? Q3: What parts of the brain are fueled first, to last with this energy, and why should we understand this if we want to optimize our performance? Q4: What are some problems that we know of, that result from low glucose or fuel to the brain? Q5: Can we talk about how fuel to the brain can become limited. I think I heard you say that there are symptoms that can lead us to guess we could have limited glucose in our brain, especially if it's causing all of these challenges for us, there has to be a cause behind this. Along with concussions that we see in the sports world, to merely bumping our heads? What should we know about injury and the correlation of our ability to provide enough fuel in our brain? Q6: How do these concussions (or traumas, or high stress in our lives) translate to the brain and activate our sympathetic nervous system and put us into this state where we are in survival mode? A place that we know is not a good place for us to exist in? Would you then say that all of the list of problems we spoke about, that are a result of low fuel to the brain, could also be attributed to the chemical process of concussions, or trauma, or high stress in our lives? I ask this as I have 2 daughters who are gymnasts. One has been diagnosed with a concussion, at the ER, and the other has hit her head enough times even though she has not been diagnosed. What should we be aware of about the origin of these mental/emotional/physical disorders that can be a result of a head injury? Q7: How have we not heard of this solution for brain health yet? Is it because the research is so new? Q8: At this point in writing these questions, I went to all the supplements I take for my brain health, to see if glucose was in them, and I couldn't see any. Then I remembered when my youngest daughter was sick when she was first born, she picked up a virus and had to stay a week at Phoenix Children's Hospital. I clearly remember them giving her a tube of something they said was sugar. Do you think this was glucose? She was too young to have any medicine.  This was the only thing they gave her, and she recovered thank goodness, after a week in hospital before she was 3 months old. Q9: I've actually done a few podcast episodes on “The Damaging Effects of Sugar on the Brain and Body”[vi] with research that came from my foot doctor, who had me change my diet in 2005, and my health turned around for the better. What should we understand about glucose, vs sucralose that is connected to weight gain and type 2 diabetes? What's important about understanding our blood sugar vs glucose levels in the brain? Q10: How do we treat low glucose then? Is it as simple as taking something over the counter for this? Do we need to have symptoms like you've mentioned to consider this treatment? Why would someone seek this out? Q11: What have you seen from treating people with low glucose levels in the brain? Q12: Is there anything important that I have missed? Thank you very much for your time today, to help us to all understand how we can improve our life and results by understanding the importance of glucose and our brain.

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by Dr. Paige Seeker of Seeker Dermatology. Did you know that our skin is actually the largest organ in the body? This critically important system keeps toxins out and moisture in, regulates our body temperature, and often acts as a mirror of our internal health. While it's no secret that basking in the summer sunshine can damage your skin over time, several other factors can impact it as well. Among these, stress, sugar, smoking, and sun exposure are common culprits. Fortunately, the healthy of your skin can be greatly improved with simple lifestyle modifications like boosting your hydration, applying sunscreen daily,  eating a well-balanced diet, and getting enough sleep. On the other hand, our skin is a complex (but resilient) organ that deserves our attention and care.

The guests discuss their thoughts on this topic, with one guest mentioning that it often stems from single mothers putting the burden of being a helper on their sons. They also explore whether single mothers contribute to this syndrome and the lack of balance in raising children without fathers. The conversation touches on the emotional aspect of this dynamic and how it can lead to unhealthy relationships and emotional immaturity in sons. The conversation explores the phenomenon of son-husband relationships, where sons take on the responsibilities of a partner in their relationship with their mothers. The hosts discuss the negative impact of these relationships on the development of boys and the challenges they face as they grow into adulthood.

The conversation also touches on the role of fathers in a child's life and the damaging effects of oversharing and relying on children for emotional support.

Single mothers may unintentionally contribute to the son husband syndrome by placing emotional burdens on their sons. Raising children without fathers can lead to a lack of balance and emotional immaturity in sons. The emotional aspect of this dynamic can result in unhealthy relationships and difficulty in handling emotions. Society's focus on one gender dominating the other can hinder the development of a child Childhood development requires exposure to different experiences and perspectives. Fathers play a crucial role in a child's life and should be involved in their upbringing. Oversharing and relying on children for emotional support can be damaging to their well-being. Signs of a son-husband relationship include financial responsibility, mediating conflict between parents, and canceling plans with friends to be with the mother. Healthy family dynamics involve open communication, boundaries, and allowing children to grow and develop their own identities.

In this follow up to last week's episode with Jen Hamilton, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica discuss cancel culture and their personal experiences with it. They define cancel culture as a cultural phenomenon where individuals who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned. They share their own stories of being canceled, harassed, bullied and the negative impact it had on their lives. Nurse Erica talks about being canceled by the veterinary community after posting a video about her dog's health issues and her experience with a vet clinic. They also discuss the damaging effects of cancel culture, including PTSD, fear, safety concerns and the potential for it to lead to censorship. The conversation highlights the need for more open and respectful dialogue on social media and the importance of understanding different perspectives. They emphasize the negative impact of cancel culture on mental health and the lack of real social change it brings. The conversation also touches on the importance of standing up against bullying and supporting one another. Takeaways Cancel culture is a cultural phenomenon where individuals who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned. Cancel culture can have a negative impact on individuals, leading to fear, self-censorship, and a reluctance to engage in open dialogue. Cancel culture can lead to the silencing of voices and the potential for censorship. It is important to foster a culture of open and respectful dialogue on social media, where different perspectives can be shared and understood. Cancel culture and bullying can have a severe impact on mental health, causing anxiety, stress, and even suicidal thoughts. Bullying can occur both online and in the workplace, and it is important to address and stand up against it. Cancel culture often fails to bring about real social change and instead perpetuates a mob mentality. Supporting and uplifting one another is crucial in combating cancel culture and bullying in the healthcare industry. It is important to remember that people have feelings and that words and actions can have long-lasting effects.

Summary Have you ever wondered why you feel so groggy and tired after spending hours scrolling on your phone or laptop at night? The blue light emitted from our electronic devices and LED lights is disrupting our natural circadian rhythms, leading to sleep issues, increased disease risks, and other adverse health effects. This episode explores practical solutions to reduce blue light exposure and improve overall well-being. Listen now to this eye-opening conversation with The Light Doctor, Dr. Martin Moore-Ede and take the first step towards reclaiming your natural sleep-wake cycle and overall health. Takeaways LED lights emit blue light in the evening, which can disrupt our sleep, and immune system, and increase the risk of various health problems. Sunlight and outdoor exposure are crucial for our health, and spending time outside in the morning can have significant benefits. Blue blocking glasses can be effective in reducing the harmful effects of blue light, but it's important to choose glasses that block the right type of blue light. Daylight saving time and time zones can have negative effects on our health, and living on our natural sun cycle would be ideal. Simple solutions to mitigate the effects of artificial light include getting outside during the day, using zero-blue light bulbs at night, and avoiding exposure to blue light from screens.

In this candid episode, the main focus of the episode is a revelation shared by Christina's therapist about the challenges associated with being labeled as "smart" throughout childhood. She shares her personal journey of effortlessly excelling academically until facing the reality of having to put in effort during the later years of university and in her nursing career.The episode explores the psychological impact of associating identity with being smart, leading to a binary view of intelligence—either effortlessly smart or feeling like a failure when effort is required. She discusses the pressure and internal struggle of grappling with the belief that they should know everything without putting in the work.The therapist's advice to embrace the middle ground and acknowledge that learning often requires effort is highlighted. Christina openly discusses the challenges of adapting to this mindset and the fear of losing the core identity tied to being smart.The narrative provides insights into our host's journey of self-discovery and the attempt to rewire thought patterns, emphasizing the importance of avoiding the "smart" label for children and praising their hard work instead.The episode concludes with a reflection on the ongoing struggle and a call to reevaluate how intelligence is perceived and communicated, suggesting a shift towards recognizing and celebrating hard work rather than innate intelligence.In true diary-entry style, Christina leaves listeners with thought-provoking insights and personal reflections, inviting them to reconsider the impact of labels and offer gratitude for the support received. The episode wraps up with a poignant reminder to stop calling people smart and instead celebrate their hard work. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Studies show that 88% of women compare themselves to images they observe on social media, with over half of them suggesting it makes them feel worse about themselves.   Unfortuntely, this also contributes to the objectification of bodies, and as a result, bodies on social media are often looked at like objects instead of human bodies given to us as a vessel to explore the planet.   Because humans have a natural need to seek approval and avoid disapproval, we find ourselves caught in the current; conforming to socialized beauty norms in the quest for validation.    By now, you've likely heard that social media users share the best parts of their life while we deal with the not-so glamorous ups and downs of daily life...which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and 'not good enough', compared to the people we see on Instagram.   This experience, coupled with photoshopped images promoting thin ideals, can lead us to feel that by having the ‘ideal' body image, we may feel more worthy and happier in ourselves.   Join Coach Steph Miramontes and I as we reveal the truth behind this complex topic and set the record straight.   Connect with Leslie:   • Website • Instagram • Facebook   If you're struggling with emotional, binge, or compulsive eating and you're interested in personalized coaching, apply here.   If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type     Also, if you're interested in learning more about the psychology-based group coaching program, Unstuffed, you can join the Interest List HERE.

“What makes aerobic exercise so powerful is that it's our evolutionary method of generating that spark. It lights on fire on every level of your brain, from stoking up the neurons' metabolic furnaces to forgiving the very structures that transmit information from one synapse to the next.” John Ratey, author of Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain On today's Episode #277 we will cover ✔  A review of EP 177 on "Transforming the Mind Using Athletics and Neuroscience" to see what's new. ✔  A look at Dr. Wendy Suzuki's Brain-Changing Protocol to strengthen our hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. ✔  How to Create Your Own "Spark" to Take Your Results to New Heights. And in today's episode, I want us to all dive a bit deeper, beyond what I'll uncover with the research, and look at this spark in our own lives. I want us to learn how to access this spark that John Ratey talks about, how to generate energy with this spark through exercise, and then figure out what we will do with this spark, or energy, once we've learned to create it, to go take ourselves to higher levels of achievement, all by using exercise and science, to take us there. I want to welcome you back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we cover the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (for schools) and emotional intelligence training (in the workplace) with tools, ideas and strategies that we can all use immediately, with our brain in mind.  I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and educator with a passion for learning specifically on the topics of health, wellbeing and productivity, and launched this podcast almost 4 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain is, for our everyday life and results. For today's episode #277, we are going back to another favorite episode of mine, #122 on “Transforming the Mind Using Athletics and Neuroscience”[i] that we released April 9, 2021, after we interviewed Paul Zientarksi, the former PE teacher from Naperville Central High School, who reinvented physical education using the understanding of simple neuroscience. In this previous episode, we combined what we learned from Paul Zientarski,[ii] with our interview with Dr. John Ratey[iii], and his book Spark, that cemented the idea of the profound impact that exercise has on our cognitive and mental health. For today's episode, #277, we will go back to episode #122 on “Transforming the Mind Using Athletics and Neuroscience” and see what's new with the research that might be able to take our understanding a bit deeper.  I know that we all are clear on the fact that exercise creates that glorious protein called BDNF that we just reviewed thoroughly on EPISODE #274[iv] and even how this protein that is released when we exercise, is reduced in the brain of someone who has developed Alzheimer's Disease, showing us that exercise is an imminent solution for the prevention of cognitive decline, or at least delaying this from happening for as long as we can. Which leads me look deeper into the research on this topic, and I went straight to the work of neuroscientist and author, Dr. Wendy Suzuki, whose TED TALK on “The Brain-Changing Effects of Exercise”[v] has over 15 million views.  I remember when her TED TALK came out (in 2017) and someone in my network sent it over to me and I immediately asked Dr. Suzuki to come on the podcast. After hearing what her schedule is like over the years, and the research she is involved with as the incoming Dean of Arts and Sciences at NYU[vi], I do understand now why I never did hear back from her on this request. Her TED TALK impacted me in a way where I knew I would need to focus on what she has discovered about the powerful effects of physical activity on the brain and that “by simply moving your body, this has lasting protective, benefits to the brain.” (Dr. Suzuki). Dr. Suzuki's TED TALK, that came out years before we had looked at this topic on the benefits of exercise on the brain, that we started to unwrap with our interview with Dr. Ratey, explains how she was at the height of her work as a leading researcher on memory and the brain, when she stuck her head out of her lab she realized she was lacking in social interaction and had gained 25 LBS. She mentioned she was miserable, and launched her own exercise program, which is when she noticed things changing with her own brain. Not only did her mood improve, and she felt stronger, but she started to notice that her difficult work (grant writing which I know takes more brain power and patience than most of us have available on a day to day basis) but she noticed this daunting task was surprisingly getting easier for her, and she stopped and thought “What's going on here? Could it possibly be my new exercise routine?” I related to what she was saying (on many levels as I spent quite a few years working on grant writing) while also understanding there is no way I could ever sit at my desk and navigate through the research I need to do, without a daily exercise routine. What about you? If you are listening to this episode, and caught the fitness bug at some point in your life, I wonder WHAT it was that inspired you to make physical activity a part of your daily routine? When I thought about it, I would have to go back years to when I first noticed that exercise was something that just made me work better. I remember something clicked for me after high school, when I was at University, and spent my summers lifeguarding, to pay for that next year of school.  In order to get the best pools as a lifeguard, in the City of North York where I grew up in Toronto, Canada, that were worth spending the entire summer at, there was this annual lifeguard triathlon, and those who participated, usually were given their first choice of the pool they wanted to work at. It was one of those “you'd better participate” and then you knew you would have a better chance at being happy with your work environment that summer. And for many of us, living in Toronto, we lived for those summer months, poolside, with those we connected the most within our social circles, and many of us (or maybe it was just me) spent the entire winter dreaming of this special time of year, when the snow and ice melted, and the summer breeze filled the air. So, one year, I had set my mind of winning this summer triathlon, and started training for it in the winter. I joined the local YMCA and remember taking the bus from my house in Don-Mills to the YMCA on Sheppard and Bayview (at least a 30-min bus ride) where I would train, with the vision that I'd have a fancy pool to work at, with all of my favorite friends, while earning the money I needed to pay for University. As soon as the snow melted, I remember riding my bike, or rollerblading to the Y, but it was those days training for this one event that summer, that hooked me on being a regular daily exerciser, for the rest of my life. An update on the triathlon that summer: I almost came in first, if I hadn't have slipped and fell on the pool deck before the run, that was the final event. I was leading the whole race until my competitor, whose name I'll never forget, passed me in that last stretch towards the finish line when I had nothing left to give. Good for her, I think today, as she motivated me in future years to keep training, and while we both got the pools we wanted, I know her love of athletics stayed with her for her lifetime as well. Until revisiting this episode, I never really thought back to when I got the exercise bug, since it's now became a non-negotiable part of my daily routine. When I heard Dr. Suzuki's story, and learned about other people's motivation for starting an exercise program, I thought it might help those listening to reflect back on their own story. It is interesting to think back to what is was that “sparked” this habit change, and made it stick, and if this isn't a habit that you find interesting, at all, I'm hoping something in this episode creates that “spark” for you to perhaps begin your own program, with the health of your brain in mind. Here's where the research gets exciting! Dr. Suzuki mentions that “exercise is the most transformative thing that you can do for your brain” and listed some reasons that I think we have all heard of today. She notes that with one 45-minute exercise session: YOUR MOOD IMPROVES: Exercise has immediate effects on your brain. One single workout she says, “increases neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline that will increase your mood immediately.” I think we can all agree on this one, and it's one of the main reasons I've kept up my daily routine. I'm not much fun without these neurotransmitters flowing in my brain. YOUR FOCUS, ATTENTION AND EVEN YOUR REACTION TIME IMPROVE: and that this improved focus “can last up to 2 hours after you exercise.” Now I'm starting to think because I know in order to do difficult cognitive work, like reading through Pubmed.gov or something, I have to tire myself out early, and the harder the workout, the better I can think and focus on difficult work. I remember telling Dr. Ratey this in our interview and he said that's why they had the students exercising before school, to prime their brain for learning. BUT DID YOU KNOW THIS? THIS IS IMPORTANT… Before switching her work to the impacts of exercise and the brain, Dr. Suzuki was one of the world's leading researchers on memory. So of course, as she began to look at the impact of exercise on the brain, she would be looking at everything through the lens of a researcher whose spent years looking at the hippocampus (the brain's memory center). It's her next points about how exercise improves our brain, through her memory research lens, that caught my attention. She adds: EXERCISE PRODUCES NEW BRAIN CELLS IN THE HIPPOCAMPUS: and this increases the volume of your hippocampus, improving your long-term memory. We have covered how to improve our memory, with unique memory hacks on a few episodes on this podcast, one with EPISODE #149 with our interview with Dave Farrow, Two-Time Guinness World Record Holder on “Focus, Fatigue and Memory Hacks”[vii] or even EPISODE #217 on “Science-Based Tricks to improve Productivity and Never Forget Anything.”[viii] But never once did we talk about the hippocampus (our brain's memory center) in these episodes. Now Dr. Suzuki, a leading researcher on memory, exercise and the brain, tells us that exercise can make the part of our brain responsible for our memory, bigger? And with our brain, we all know that size matters. THE MORE YOU EXERCISE, THE BIGGER AND STRONGER THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX GETS: So now we know that in addition to our memory center, (our hippocampus) that increases with exercise, we can add that the part of our brain that's responsible for decision making, cognitive control, attention and focus, also gets bigger with exercise, and Dr. Suzuki elaborates that “these are the two areas of the brain most susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline in aging. While Dr. Suzuki says that “by increasing exercise over your lifetime, you're not going to cure Alzheimer's or Dementia, but what you will do is create the strongest and largest prefrontal cortex so that it takes longer for the disease to have an effect.” (Dr. Suzuki). The whole reason why I spend all my spare time writing these podcast episodes, recording them, and putting them out to the world, for you, the listener, (and for me as well to keep learning) is that I do believe that small changes that we can all make, have the ability to completely transform our health, wellbeing and life. Take for example, the recent episode we did on “The Damaging Impacts of Sugar on the Brain and Body”[ix] where we covered 2 people who were measuring their blood sugar. The only reason I had the data for this episode, was that someone close to me asked me for advice. One day, this person said to me, “if I was to do just a couple of things to improve my health, what would you suggest I do?” Now this person rarely ever comes to me for advice, so when it happened, I took the moment seriously. I looked them directly in the eye, and like Dr. Jacoby said to me when I asked him the same question, I answered back, without wavering, “You need to cut out sugar (and that means anything that turns into sugar after you eat it, like the obvious candy, bread, and alcohol and then measure your blood to see exactly how what you are eating affects you personally) and then you never eat those things again.” That was it. In 30 days, this person lowered their A1C levels from the danger zone of 8.5 to 7.0. Once the behavior changes, so do the results. We can potentially reverse diabetes and pre-diabetes with this advice (and I say that not from the advice of my doctor, Dr. Jacoby, who swore that chronic disease is directly linked to lifestyle).  Like Dr. Jacoby, I'm pretty militant about health, so my advice if you want to make changes with YOUR health, is to think of your own personal motivation for this change, and then find someone who won't let you get away with reverting back to your old habits and behaviors, so that you'll stick to the changes that support your brain health So, back to Dr. Suzuki's research. She mentioned that she often gets asked, “what's the minimum amount of exercise that I would need to do, to get these changes in the brain?” and here's what she suggests: DR. SUZUKI BRAIN PROTOCOL: Dr. Suzuki's research revealed that the minimum amount of exercise you would need to do, to get these brain health benefits, would be 3-4 days a week, 30-45 minute sessions of aerobic activity, at an intensity that's enough to get your heart rate up. She says you don't have to go crazy, and I agree with her on this one. Here's something interesting I learned this year. Since I measure everything, I learned that certain activities get my heart rate just as high as my runs up the mountain. Activities like walking outside, lighter workouts on the elliptical, or even vacuuming the house, all get my heart rate up into ZONE 3 (70-80% of my maximum heart rate, or what would be considered a moderate exercise level). This was shocking to me, as I realized I could change up some of my activities, and save time, as long as I was able to get my heart rate up long enough for those brain benefits to take hold (for 30-45 minutes). THINKING CREATIVELY WITH EXERCISE: Now you can start to think creatively about aerobic activity. I recently noticed something while recording these podcast episodes. My WHOOP device started to log my activity recording as “other” and each time I finish recording, I would be notified, and could see that out of a 25 minutes recording session, I spent 70-80% of my maximum heart rate at the moderate exercise level. I'm not saying that sitting and recording for 25 minutes can replace a workout, but it opened my eyes to how strenuous public speaking can be on the body. I remember hearing speaker and author Brendon Burchard talking about how speaking in public “results in the same strain on his body as running a marathon each day.”[x] My WHOOP device was telling me the same story, and I've even noticed that when recording, I'm engaging muscles in my stomach to breathe, and it honestly feels like a workout session.   If you look at a graph of a typical hiking session, where I'm running up and down a mountain, my heart rate pattern is similar to when I'm recording a podcast episode, and recording or speaking into a mic logged me at 70-80% of my HR, which is ZONE 3 or a moderate exercise level. I do spend most of my hikes in ZONE 4 at 80-90% of my maximum heart rate, or the “hard” target zone, so I'm not going to replace this activity for speaking, but it really did open my eyes to thinking creatively with how else I can get my heart rate up for 45 minute sessions, with my brain in mind. WHAT ELSE DOES DR. SUZUKI'S RESEARCH REVEAL? While looking at the benefits of exercise on our brain, I wanted to go a bit deeper into what the research reveals, and there were a few more important details that I learned from Dr. Suzuki. She was interviewed on Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast on “Boosting Attention and Memory with Science-Based Tools”[xi] where she gave Dr. Huberman an overview of the most important points from her TED TALK, that now informed the research she was doing on exercise and the brain, through the lens of a leading researcher on memory. BDNF, OUR HIPPOCAMPUS AND WHERE MEMORIES ARE STORED Dr. Suzuki reaffirms some of what we've already covered, that “BDNF goes directly to our hippocampus and helps new brain cells to grow” which is what we knew from Dr. Ratey, who said that “BDNF is like Miracle-Go for the brain” and it's from moving our muscles that this protein is created, helping us to improve “our highest thought processes.” But Dr. Huberman wanted to dive a bit deeper into where our memories are actually stored in our brain and asked “isn't the hippocampus involved in encoding memories, but not with the storage of memories? Memory storage (he asks) was in the neocortex or other overlying areas of the brain?” and Dr. Suzuki replies that he asked a tricky question because “memories are stored in the hippocampus for a very long time.”[xii] While she elaborates that people want to know “well how long are they there for before moving to the cortex” and she jokes “4 years, people want to know? Is that how long our memories are stored in our hippocampus?” I don't need to be a neuroscientist to think that it doesn't matter how long our memories are stored in our hippocampus, but I want this part of my brain to be as healthy, as big and fluffy (as she describes it) so that I can remain as sharp as I can as I'm aging. Not a day goes by that I go to grab a name of someone, and it's not there, so this part of our brain is a muscle that needs to be worked, just as we would be moving our body with exercise. LONDON CAB DRIVERS Which led my mind back to the research that emerged with the hippocampus of London cab drivers. This part of their brain was “significantly larger in London cab drivers due to the mental workout they get while navigating the 25,000 streets of London.”[xiii] REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude this episode where we looked back at EPISODE #122 on “Transforming the Brain Using Athletics and Neuroscience” I think we've got a few NEW details to help build this case for the importance of adding at least, or at a minimum, 4 days a week of 45 minute moderate aerobic sessions to build a stronger, more resilient hippocampus, to help improve our thinking, decision-making, and our memory center, ensuring that neurodegenerative diseases that could possibly come our way with age, will at least be delayed, as remember with our brain, size does matter. In the beginning of this episode, we spoke about a spark that exercise can create, that can help us to generate energy that we can use in our daily life. I mentioned where my spark began, training for the annual lifeguard triathlon in Toronto, to pay for my University classes, and I wonder: IF YOU HAVE A REGULAR EXERCISE PROGRAM: If you have incorporated exercise into your daily routine, what it was that inspired you to begin? What was it that kept this habit going for you? Have you noticed specific examples of how your exercise program has transformed your brain (like Dr. Suzuki noticed with her grant writing getting easier, and I noticed with being able to sit for longer periods of time and be focused on higher cognitive work)? Have you ever thought about what exercise was doing for your brain, down to your memory center (how it makes it bigger and stronger) or your prefrontal cortex? Were you aware of how you were building the size of your brain with exercise to at least prevent the onset of cognitive decline as we age? IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXERCISE PROGRAM: If you aren't incorporating 3-4 days of aerobic activity lasting 30-45 minutes in your daily routine, does this research that shows how building a stronger, fluffier more resilient hippocampus and prefrontal cortex make you think about starting a routine? If the answer to this is yes, and you aren't sure where to begin, check out our EPISODE on the TOP 5 Health Staples[xiv] where we covered how to get started with an exercise program as an Alzheimer's Disease Prevention Strategy. Were you as surprised as I was about my WHOOP device picking up my heart rate while recording a podcast episode, showing us that we can get creative with how we increase our heart rate (like with vacuuming, or walking, or other activities where you don't need to go crazy)? Can you think of some NEW and CREATIVE ways to start to move your body that could help your brain and cognition, now that you have seen this research? Once you do begin this regular daily routine, I promise you that you will start to feel better. Like cutting out sugar, you will notice immediate changes in your body (mentally and physically), and you will start to notice that you have more creative energy that you can direct in many different places. I promise you that this decision will “spark” something in you, that could possibly be the turning point that you needed to change your life forever. Since I feel so strongly about health and wellness for all of us, I want to extend an offer to you. If you are listening to this episode, and you want to make an improvement with your health and wellness, and you are stuck, unsure of where to begin, send me an email to andrea@achieveit360.com and let me know where you are starting from. This is just me here offering to give you a bit of time if you feel stuck in some way, without having to worry if I'll be selling you into some sort of coaching program. Sometimes in order to get started, we just have to make the decision, and talking to someone even for a few minutes, could be all you would need to “spark” some action of your end. If this is where you are sitting right now, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'll close out this episode with a quote from Dr. John Ratey who said that “exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain in terms of mood, memory and learning.” I'm going to add that it's the best thing we can do for ourselves as we age, to supercharge our hippocampus (our memory center) and prefrontal cortex (what we need to think) and build a stronger, more resilient brain so it will take longer for these degenerative diseases that we all know about, to have an effect. And with that, I'll make a promise back to you that I'll keep thinking up new ideas to share with you here, because I know now that writing AND recording is good for my brain. I'll see you next week as we look at EPISODE #124 on “How to be a Neuroscience Researcher” and looking back at this episode, I'll have to think really hard on how to make this one a bit more creative. See you next week.

We all feel defensive at times, yet in relationships, it can be especially damaging. This week in the Love Shack, we're discussing how defensiveness can hurt even the best of relationships and how to overcome it. Join us as we unpack this dangerous habit, including why we feel defensive in the first place, how it affects our communication with one another, and how couples can work together to subdue this instinctive response.You'll learn why defensiveness is a human experience that we all have when we feel emotionally pressed.

If you've lived in diet culture for any length of time, then you are familiar with the yo-yo cycle.    Even though you know it's probably not the best thing for you (it hasn't worked the last 10 times, has it?), it's hard to resist when every turn you go you see promises of weight loss attached with the dream life you're made to believe you'll get as a result.    You might think… what's the harm in trying just ONE more new diet? Maybe this one will be the one that you will finally be able to stick to and will get you results.    Have you ever stopped to consider what's happening to your body when you live in this cycle?   It is not harmless. Diets are actually damaging to your body and health.    In today's episode with Elaina Efird, a Registered Dietitian who specializes in metabolic testing, we discuss what dieting actually does to your body and how to opt out of this vicious cycle so you can focus on your health and peace of mind.    You'll understand the science of what is happening inside your body when you start and end a diet, how the normal cycles of life affect weight, the importance of evaluating the nutrition advice you take from social media (and how to filter through the red flags!), and why it's good for your health to throw out all the food rules and actually to enjoy your food!   In this episode we cover:    [3:30] How Elaina got into dietetics and working with eating disorder patients [6:30] The science behind macronutrients and why carbs are not the enemy [10:16] Elaina dispels myths around the newer trends in diet culture [14:02] Advice on how to evaluate social media nutrition trends and when its a red flag of disordered eating [18:51] Why it's normal to gain weight in your 20s [21:40] The nuance that's involved in evaluating weight gain and weight loss [25:30] What happens to your body physiologically when you remove too many calories or nutrient [28:58] Understanding a weight loss plateau & set weight point [30:42] What happens to your metabolism and muscle mass when you have a caloric deficit [32:56] How to reverse the damage done by dieting [34:34] The relationship between stopping to binge eat and your weight [37:38] Elaina's advice on body image issues that inevitably come up when healing your relationship with food Rachel's Resources: Are you a Food Freedom Professional seeking to boost her coaching confidence with clients using the Intuitive Eating approach?

We're excited to be back to recording after a small summer hiatus. We are diving into a subject that may be controversial to some. Purity culture. What is it? Has it helped our marriage? What is attached to it? This episode is packed with some conversations we've been having recently together, so we thought we'd chat about it here.Every once in a while Amy says something she doesn't know has a double meaning. We decided to keep this particular faux pas in the recording. We genuinely don't know what will come up sometimes! Hope you're able to laugh along with us. We also approach the controversial topic of modesty and unpack the story in Luke 7.  As always, our hope and prayer is that you are encouraged or challenged and pass along some of what you receive to others. Thanks for listening! Be sure to share this episode on social media or with a friend!

Few things are more frightening to a child than an angry dad. An angry father in the home is the metaphorical equivalent of rolling a child's heart through a minefield. The angry dad forces the child to live between two worlds: strive to be perfect or receive the father's exasperating disapproval. The accumulative effect of that kind of torment is hard to overcome. If the angry dad does not change, the child will fall prey to a lifetime of internal and relational struggles.
