Unlocking the Power of HRV with Dr. David HopperHeart Rate Variability (HRV) is emerging as a critical health metric, yet many overlook its significance. Integrated into devices like the Apple Watch, Whoop, and Oura Ring, HRV can signal potential health issues before symptoms arise. In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we welcome Dr. David Hopper, a chiropractor and HRV expert, who shares his personal journey into HRV research following his father's heart attack linked to undiagnosed sleep apnea.​Dr. Hopper discusses the development of an HRV tracking app and clinician dashboard designed to monitor patients' HRV remotely, bridging gaps in healthcare by enabling providers to track patient health between visits. He provides real-world examples of how HRV monitoring has led to early detection of health issues, allowing for timely interventions.​We also address common misconceptions about HRV, such as the belief that a higher HRV is always better, and offer guidance on interpreting HRV data from wearables. Dr. Hopper shares lifestyle strategies to improve HRV, emphasizing the roles of sleep quality, nutrition, hydration, stress management, and breathing practices.​Looking ahead, Dr. Hopper offers insights into the future of wearable health technology and HRV, including the potential for continuous 24/7 monitoring and real-time health coaching based on nervous system data.​Resources:Optimal HRV Device and App: https://www.optimalhrv.com/hrvmonitoringdeviceDr. Hopper's Online HRV Course: https://www.drdavidhopper.com/challengesChiropractic Products by Dr. Hopper: https://spinalmobilitymaster.comDr. David Hoppers Website: Click HERETune in to learn how HRV can be a game-changer in proactive health management.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

It also focuses on ensuring the reinstatement of those whose lives are impacted by crimes. In modern times the idea of making living spaces safe and clean has spread from the civilian population to include prisons, on ethical grounds which honor that unsafe and unsanitary prisons violate constitutional prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment. In recent times prison reform ideas include greater access to legal counsel and family, conjugal visits, proactive security against violence, and implementing house arrest with assistive technology.

How do I "PRAY" Supernaturally? How do we begin to Experience God in the supernatural life of our prayers. You put your life and the word of God together as one as you are looking around at modern day illustrations every second of your day. God is always speaking to you, but more than that… God is always desiring to speak through you… This happens in your prayer life and if your prayers will stop being to Santa Clause and instead move the Creator of the Universe you will see him do supernatural things with your life as He moves through your prayers. Team Performance Coaching is about taking good organizations and making them great organizations. Building the right team is essential in that process in becoming a great organization.

The Big Love Bake Sale is a community-based effort and the first fundraiser here at Edacious to benefit today's podcast guest, Scott Nichols. Happening Saturday 4/15, 9am-noon at Charlottesville City Market!  Concierge Work. Community Fundraising Work. With Cookies. Maybe the most important episode I've ever done. I truly believe every choice you make in your life sets you on a path. You might not understand the choice at the time or even the path you find yourself on, but eventually, it all comes together. In this episode meet Scott Nichols, a concierge with more than 20 years experience. A concierge who because of recent life developments has had to put his career on hold. A concierge who just also happens to be my best friend. Now concierge might not be the first occupation you envision when you think of Food Work, but hotels and restaurants have a symbiotic relationship, one that operates behind the scenes, with hotel staff and restaurant employees often working for each other's benefit, coming together to make sure both establishments remain successful. It's a relationship often misunderstood, and one most travelers never take advantage of. Hopefully, this episode changes that. First some background. We reminisce on our shared food adventures, as well as what it means to manage a Mrs. Field's Cookies. Yes, we met in a food court which acts as its own type of community, a place where employees help each other despite long hours and little pay. It's hard work and there's a great deal of hustle. At the time we were young and didn't appreciate where things came from and how our actions might affect others. Working for such low wages forced us to get creative to survive. Not making excuses. That's just the way it was. Working in a retail food court provides more life experience than sitting in a college classroom. It teaches you responsibility. Teamwork. On your feet problem-solving. All of which are good training for the hospitality industry or for owning your own business. Or for real life.  Thousands of people toil in fast food all over the world. It felt good to give them a voice. To throw some honor their way instead of shame in the form of degrading stereotypes you see in movies and on TV. We compare our cookie tray burns still visible after 30 years. Battle scars. We reveal Debbie's secret recipe. We reminisce about the hilarious methods we used to keep up morale. We talk about how Mrs. Fields actually provided great training for the career Scott embarked on and one he excels at...concierge. After moving to DC, Scott started in hotel reservations, slowly working his way up to the front desk. Learning as much as he could, networking, soaking up every piece of knowledge like a sponge. It was the 80's, people were traveling, so tips were good. The relationship between a concierge team and their hotel employers is often volatile. So when the entire team walked off the job one day, Scott stepped in and a career was born. A career where he thrived because of his ability to connect, converse, and anticipate the needs of his customers. Knowing what they wanted before they did. Anticipating what they needed just by looking at their suit, the make of their watch, their demeanor as they stepped up to the desk. A job so demanding he often had to sleep on a cot in a closet behind his desk. "I started knowing nothing and I'm a quick learner...whatever I lacked...I understood the value of presentation, preparedness, and potential...show up, bring your best, do your best." What did he enjoy most about the work and still does to this day? Making people happy. Making sure every guest feels welcomed and their visit is a trip to remember. "You learned early on that if you give people what they want and don't let them see you sweat and don't let them know how much trouble it was...then they are more comfortable asking you for whatever they want. People know when they're asking for something exotic...That's where I learned my philosophy of I work hard and I expect to be compensated fairly...(You must) understand that level of access and professionalism brings with it a certain cost and value." Learning, realizing what you're worth. Your own value in your chosen career. An important lesson in any profession. An important lesson for your LIFE for that matter. This isn't as Scott says, "McDonald's Concierging". This is building relationships. Spending 10 minutes having a conversation and getting to know your guest. Using your observational skills. Reading the customer. What time of day is it? How are they dressed? What does the woman's makeup look like? What shirt is the man wearing? These things can tell you whether or not the guest is hungry, has had a drink (or three), or even their mood. "If you make friends with a concierge you will take your time in any city to the next level and have the most amazing experience of your life." Whether you're a business traveler or a tourist, utilizing your concierge makes for a better travel experience. You don't have to be a millionaire. Be honest, form a relationship, and your concierge will work to tailor an unforgettable occasion within your budget. For example, if you're proposing to a future spouse, a concierge can help you make that an experience of a lifetime. Nowadays people use Internet "Best Of" lists to tick off every box. By keeping an open mind and trusting a concierge you will still have the most amazing experience, just maybe not the one you planned. Way better than consulting a Top 10 list on Yelp. Need a table at Rose's Luxury but don't like standing in line? A good concierge can hire you a line sitter. Which brings us to restaurants. Any concierge worth his salt has professional symbiotic relationships with restaurants, often with the hostess, a server, or even the chef. Often restaurants hold open houses for hotel staff, enticing them to recommend their establishment to travelers. This "Favor System" isn't without its flaws, but remains an important aspect of driving business. Best case scenario? The entire team of restaurant and hotel come together to make things happen so everyone involved goes away happy. How does this relate to Charlottesville and its burgeoning wedding and hotel industries? Scott has definite thoughts on maximizing growth. Pro tip: hotels have morning meetings where they go over customer reviews. If a guest says they loved a certain restaurant, staff will remember and send them there next time. So it's a good idea for restaurants to get to know the folks in that brand new hotel that just opened down the street. Most important thing to remember? Don't be intimidated. No question is too silly or strange. Even if you're on a budget and want a good seat at The Cheesecake Factory, a concierge can make that happen. The stereotype of the snobby desk clerk you see in the movies just isn't true. A great concierge gets their own fanbase. Customers will even follow them if they change hotels. We also talk about the reality of working at a hotel with a conservative owner who deals with the far right and the prejudices that come with that on a daily basis. How do you serve a customer who clearly hates your lifestyle? What about ageism? Workers over 50 are more reliable, professional, have life experience, have usually been successful in a previous career, often want part-time hours, and are a plentiful, viable section of the workforce. Don't overlook them. Last summer, Scott was diagnosed with Stage 3B colorectal cancer and had to leave his chosen profession for treatment. Medical bills began to pile up. So I stepped in to help, as friends do, by creating a GoFund Me campaign. The love and support for this campaign from friends, family, and even total strangers have been overwhelming. He is so very grateful. "The GoFund Me has been such a blessing from God...I'm still having trouble wrapping my brain around it...I've been on the hustle so long...I just don't understand strangers giving me money...But I'm thankful for it...the prayers mean a lot...I wouldn't be alive today without the love that I'm getting from the world...that keeps me going on bad days...because now I have little investors in my outcome...so I kind of have to deliver...none of those people want to get a note from you that says thank you for your contribution but he didn't make it...I need to go on after this and do great things...I'm really excited about, "Oh my God there might be a next chapter!"...after coming this far through the treatment process, I'll be damned if I'm going to spend one day doing something that doesn't make my heart happy on some level...people not only invested in me but sort of my reawakening of this second chapter of my life...This is an opportunity and we're going to go forward and it's going to be amazing." I agree. It will be amazing. His first round of treatment has gone well. But unlike the movies, there is no instant dramatic outcome good or bad, but rather a long series of, "Now we wait and see." Meanwhile the bills continue to roll in. But Scott, his husband Brian, me, and all his family and friends remain optimistic. In fact, it is his unwavering optimism that I adore most. He will get better. We will get this campaign funded. The Big Love Bake Sale, created after a phrase he uses often, will help with that. I just know it. When I started this podcast two years ago, I had no idea I'd end up interviewing my best friend. But I'm so glad I did. Not only is this the BEST episode I've ever done, it's the one fully inhabiting the mission I set for myself. Community and Connection. It lives the intention I set each and every morning when I sit down and put on my headphones. It will be the one I present when folks ask, "Which episode should I listen to first?" Of course, I'm biased. Beyond that, this episode not only presents deep story, it fulfills my podcast's purpose, and in such a beautiful way. I saw a different side to my friend, one I hadn't witnessed. It made me prouder of him than I've ever been. And it made me damn glad to know him. All those years I spent baking cookies. All those years I spent planning events for others. All those years I spent in fundraising and development. Work I knew was valuable but wasn't really my favorite thing. All that training has brought me to this moment in time. I truly believe that. Give a listen then head out to Charlottesville City Market for the bake sale. Big Love everyone. Big Love.

Chutney Work. How does a gentleman from Yorkshire who works in marketing for Dance Place in Washington, DC end up making and selling chutney? Like so many food journeys, this one is long and meandering but ultimately full of lessons, challenges, and great rewards. Meet David Hopper of Chutney Ferret Industries, my guest for Episode 57. David grew up in Britain way before English cuisine was coming into its own. Lots of beef. Lots of bland. Lots of brown sauce. Thankfully his gran was a stellar cook, creating gorgeous legs of lamb and pork with crackling skin. A very good thing. Why aren't there more butcher shops selling pork with the skin on here in America? I'm thinking that's something that needs to be remedied! We need suet too. Because you can't make good Christmas puddings without it! Speaking of Christmas puddings, what exactly are they? Another quintessentially British item, a sweet concoction of fruits, nuts, flour, breadcrumbs, eggs, suet, beer, rum, brandy, and spices steamed together slowly for four hours. Don't be alarmed! This stuff is good, a cross between a compote and a cake. David's puddings receive raves, are completely delicious, and always sell out. I've got one sitting on my counter which I can't wait to try in a few weeks. Great grilled up and served with a nice Wensleydale cheese, which is native to Yorkshire, or just served warm with brandy cream or ice cream. David's date and tomato ketchup is a riff on HP Sauce in Britain. Magnificent on a sausage sandwich! Ketchup is never just tomatoes but a way of preparing fruit so it becomes a condiment sauce, a major part of the whole spectrum that is Anglo-Indian cooking. Even the word "ketchup" or "catsup" has its origins in India. The Chutney Ferret version is a blend of fruits, tamarind, five different spices, and secret ingredients without any of the corn syrup, thickeners, or preservatives you find in commercial brands. Did you know Worcestershire sauce is actually catsup? David's version is made from mushrooms, not anchovies, so it's perfect for vegetarians and offers a huge umami flavor bomb to things like Bloody Mary's and your favorite Asian dishes. And of course there's chutney, or "pickle" as it's called in Britain. Gorgeous on sandwiches, terrific as a glaze on fish or meats, and a great flavoring agent for soups and stews. Just remember a little goes a long way. In Britain they use chutney for sandwiches on leftovers at Thanksgiving and Christmas instead of cranberry sauce. But it's also lovely as a side with cold cuts and cheese and your favorite wine. David's spiced plum chutney, arguably the most British kind, is made by blending together plums, apples, raisins, onions, two types of sugar and more than five types of spice. He actually forages all of the plums himself from wild plum trees! It's stunning guys. Great with pimento cheese! We talk at great length about the history of Anglo-Indian cooking, where they overlap, and how Indian flavors are blended deeply into notions of British cuisine to this day. How British cuisine has been at the forefront of nose to tail cooking, or using every single part of the animal to create delicious dishes. Meat as a flavoring agent instead of the centerpiece. David also makes harissa paste using homegrown habaneros. It's extraordinary! Our harissa talk launches a discussion on growing these capsaicin bombs. Why is drinking water the worst thing you can do while eating a habanero? And what is harissa paste? What do you use it for? How can you use his ketchups, catsups, and chutneys in cooking? We cover it all. You can find all of the Chutney Ferret Industries products locally at The Spice Diva. I highly recommend them. They make great gifts but don't delay in purchasing those Christmas puddings because they tend to sell out fast! David just started working at The Spice Diva part-time so stop in and say hello! If you have any questions about these strange, exotic condiments he'll be glad to answer them. And offer up a taste. My favorite episodes are those where I leave knowing more than when I arrived. Sensing I may have just made a new friend. This was one of those times. David is lovely, his garden beautiful, and the chutneys? Amazing. Hope you enjoy this episode. Happy Holidays everyone!
