Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____What happens when doing everything "right" still leaves you miserable? You start asking better questions.Shell Mendelson was a successful CEO of KidzArt, an international children's art franchise she founded, when everything fell apart. Despite looking accomplished on paper, she was disconnected, dysregulated, and drowning in work that no longer fit. At her lowest point, she found an ADHD book a therapist friend had sent years earlier, opened it, and finally understood why she'd always felt like an outcast. Diagnosed in her fifties, Shell realized the masking, hypervigilance, and constant feeling of being "off" had been ADHD all along.Now, after 35+ years as a career coach, Shell helps ADHD and neurodivergent adults stop job-hopping and start building careers that actually fit. She's the author of Unlock Your Career Path and creator of the Career Galaxy framework—a process that helps people define their must-haves in writing so they never forget what they need to thrive. In this conversation, Shell and Tracy explore why career assessments fail neurodivergent people, how DEI rollbacks are pushing ADHD professionals into hiding, the rise of workplace surveillance, and why people who need accommodations are often just in the wrong job.Shell also shares her recent move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where she's building a life by the beach with her two dogs—a story about reinvention, clarity, and refusing to stay somewhere that doesn't serve you, even when it looks successful from the outside.Resources: Website: www.careercoachingwithshell.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CareerCoachingwithShellLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourpassiontocareerWebsite: https://unlockyourcareerpath.comSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next? ADHD isn't a productivity problem. It's an identity problem. That's why most strategies don't stick—they weren't designed for how your brain actually works. Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy is different. It's a patented, science-backed coaching program that helps you stop fighting your brain and start building a life that fits.

Over the next four episodes, we're honored to be partnering with International Justice Mission, or IJM - an incredible organization working to end violence, exploitation, and modern-day slavery in some of the darkest corners of the world.  Today, I sit down with singer/songwriter Ellie Holcomb who has supported IJM in lots of different ways.

In this special Fashion Friday episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with actress-turned-entrepreneur Lois Robbins, founder of WATSKIN, the sun-protective lifestyle brand that proves fashion and function can coexist beautifully.Lois's journey began with a personal health scare that forced her to rethink her relationship with the sun. Diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and genetically predisposed to melanoma, she was determined to protect her skin without giving up her love for chic, sophisticated style. When she couldn't find options that matched her needs, she designed her own—and strangers quickly began asking where they could buy them. That moment sparked the birth of WATSKIN.Unlike traditional swimwear or activewear, WATSKIN bridges the gap with UPF 50+ designs that feel like a second skin while offering body-inclusive fits and effortless sophistication. From the pool to dinner, each piece is made to transition seamlessly, creating a new category in fashion: stylish sun-protective lifestyle wear.In this episode, Lois opens up about what it takes to build a brand with purpose, the cultural shift toward prioritizing sun safety, and how WATSKIN is reshaping the way we think about skin health and everyday style. She also shares candid lessons from her own entrepreneurial journey—why resilience, curiosity, and the courage to ask the right questions matter most.

Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes Dr. Jennifer Dall, a grief-informed neurodivergence specialist and the founder of ADHD Holistically. Jennifer was diagnosed with ADHD in her 50s, and is now an educator, administrator, coach, and grief specialist. They talk about grieving over what might have been, a struggle that often accompanies late-diagnosis. They discuss Jennifer's lived experience with late diagnosis, as well as some common misconceptions about ADHD, especially those faced by women. They also talk about the challenges of identifying ADHD in school settings, particularly for girls and students who may not present with typical disruptive behaviors, and how dependence on a behavioral lens can lead to greater consequences, rather than providing necessary support. TAKEAWAYS There's a lack of training about the diverse presentations of ADHD among educators and professionals. It's a persistent myth that people "grow out of" ADHD. There can be profound grief and trauma after a late diagnosis, stemming from lost time, opportunities, and years of internalizing negative narratives. ADHD often compounds the symptoms of grief. Dr. Jennifer Dall is a Grief-Informed Neurodivergence Specialist and the founder of ADHD Holistically, where she helps individuals—particularly women—navigate ADHD with practical, personalized strategies that prioritize self-awareness and sustainable growth. With over 25 years of experience as an educator and a background in ADHD coaching, yoga instruction, and grief education, her holistic approach is rooted in both professional expertise and lived experience. Diagnosed with ADHD in her 50s, Dr. Jennifer brings deep insight into the challenges of late diagnosis, masking, and misinformation—especially for women. Through her courses, workshops, and speaking engagements, she supports neurodivergent individuals and the professionals who serve them, including therapists, coaches, and HR leaders. Her work centers on reframing ADHD as a source of strength, helping others unlock their potential with strategies that work in real life.

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Lauren Vaknine, and for anyone living with rheumatoid arthritis, this is a story you won't want to miss. Diagnosed with juvenile RA just before her second birthday, Lauren was wheelchair-bound by 18 with every joint in her body locked. Most people would have lost hope—but not Lauren, and not her mother. Lauren's mom had already defied convention years earlier, saying no to steroids and choosing homeopathy instead. That decision opened the door to a lifetime of natural healing. At 21, Lauren had her own turning point: realizing her recovery was in her hands, she committed to rebuilding her health one choice at a time. Now, more than 11 years in remission, Lauren shares with Ann Louise the practices that made the difference—whole, organic foods instead of processed ones, key supplements like magnesium, cod liver oil, and black seed oil, and daily rituals with turmeric and frankincense that continue to keep her strong. From a child defined by illness to a global voice in holistic health, Lauren's message is both simple and powerful: the body knows how to heal when we give it what it needs.

What happens when a music executive's precision meets a life-changing diagnosis? In this candid episode of All Talk Oncology, Kenny Perkins sits down with Mathew Knowles—music executive, author of The DNA of Achievers, and male breast cancer survivor. A tiny sign on a white T-shirt (nipple discharge) led Mathew to insist on a mammogram, a Stage 1A diagnosis, surgery, and the discovery of a BRCA2 variant. Drawing on his 20-year background in medical imaging, he breaks down early detection, building a winning care team, and why he now lives by quarterly labs, therapy, movement, and joy. From COVID-era anxiety to laughter-filled nights with his wife, Mathew shares the mindset shifts and habits that helped him rebuild a life he loves—one mindful walk and measured plate at a time. Key Topics Discussed Men get breast cancer: the overlooked red flags (nipple discharge) and why Mathew demanded a mammogram BRCA2 explained: risk implications for men (melanoma, pancreatic, prostate, male breast cancer) and for women (breast, gynecologic) Diagnosed at Stage 1A: survival odds, surgery, and five years on Tamoxifen From isolation to a care team: oncologist, therapist, spiritual support—and why isolation increases risk COVID anxiety & mental health: therapy to confront fear of dying and regain balance Diet, weight loss (~40 lbs), and daily 2-mile brisk walks—“cancer loves obesity” Portion control and practical nutrition: measuring plates, lighter foods, consistent habits Quarterly labs for peace of mind (not just annual checkups); self-advocacy with your clinicians “Look out the window”: stillness, nature, laughter, and marriage strengthened through survivorship Family history & genetics: why genetic testing + knowing your lineage should start early Men's health advocacy: PSA tests, breaking cultural conditioning, and getting over outdated fears   Immortalize your voice by being an ALL TALK ONCOLOGY GUEST! Just fill-out this FORM.   SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: All Talk Oncology: Instagram & Facebook JOIN OUR FREE COMMUNITY: Facebook Community WEBSITE: https://www.alltalkoncology.com

This week, I'm talking with Ashley Orr, the powerhouse baker behind Sweet Nothings Bakery and Cafe—a 100% gluten-free bakery operating out of a shared kitchen space. Yes, you read that right. Shared kitchen. Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Sound familiar? For any planner who's been told by a convention center or hotel that “we can't do gluten-free,” Ashley's story is proof that it can be done—with the right knowledge, systems, and commitment. Diagnosed with a gluten allergy in 2019, Ashley didn't just change how she ate—she reimagined how to bake, launching her business to fill the flavor gap in gluten-free baked goods. Now baking alongside other (non-GF) businesses at Little Blue Bakehouse, she takes meticulous care to protect her products and her customers from cross-contact, and the results speak for themselves. In our conversation, we'll explore: • How Ashley safely operates in a non-dedicated kitchen • The protocols that protect her gluten-free guests • What venues and planners can learn from her model • Why SOPs—not just suppliers—are key to safe dining Whether you're serving 10 people or 10,000, this is a must-watch for anyone who's been told “we just can't do that.” Ashley is doing it—and doing it well. Let's talk about how.

Delve into this episode as host Dr. Matt Davis and MBU graduate Jonathan Gilliam chat about a range of topics from cross-country running to marriage, from Jonathan's current camp staff responsibilities to God's calling. Tapping into his recent graduation, they address his college expectations and what aspects prepared him for life. Jonathan appreciates his extension involvement in a small church and highlights his internship, which challenged him to devote time daily in silent reflection. When Dr. Davis asks, “What would you tell your younger self as a student, if you had the chance,” Jonathan thoughtful responds, “How to interact with suffering.” Diagnosed with Chron's disease as a teen and having had potentially fatal complications from it, he judiciously comments that he would not mourn those difficulties or seek immediate release because, he concludes, trials are often the means of growth and sanctification.

Awakening The Warrior with J.R. Hutter | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this episode, J.R. Hutter shares his raw and transformative life story, opening up about his upbringing, his father's struggles with alcoholism, and how his own battles with PTSD, bipolar disorder, and addiction spiraled after serving in Iraq. He recounts years of heavy drinking, cocaine use, and the chaos of life as a DJ in South Florida, describing the cycle of self-destruction that left him suicidal, ashamed, and on the verge of losing everything. A breaking point came after cheating on his girlfriend and realizing he had become someone he despised, which pushed him to reach out for help and attend his first AA meeting. From there, J.R. reflects on the long, difficult path of sobriety—learning that quitting alcohol wasn't enough, and that true change required rebuilding his character, embracing spirituality, committing to fitness, and creating healthier routines. He explains how his journey led him to share his story publicly, transition into coaching, and inspire others in recovery, even as he lost thousands of social media followers when he shifted from photographing models and wrestlers to talking about sobriety. Through honesty and vulnerability, J.R. paints a picture of redemption, showing how discipline, purpose, and service to others transformed his life and gave him a new mission.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

We'd love to hear from you about this episode.According to 2025 data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 billion people are living with mental health disorders. US survey data collected in March and April 2025 indicate a substantial portion of adults experienced a mental health crisis in the past year, with many facing barriers to accessing help. The US is experiencing a significant shortage of mental health providers, which has led to a reduction in access to care. We must find proactive ways to manage the rising mental and emotional challenges that we consistently face. Creativity and wellness are deeply connected. Engaging in creative activities like art, music, and writing has been shown to reduce stress and lower symptoms of anxiety and depression. Making time for creative outlets as a form of self-care allows for emotional management and expression, stimulates brain function, and promotes a sense of connection to oneself and others. Welcome to Episode Seventy-One of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!! In this episode, we spoke with artist, mental health advocate, and keynote speaker Jeffrey Sparr.

In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway welcomes David Good, who shares his transformative journey through loss, grief, and social challenges to become a global connector of people. Diagnosed with Asperger's last year, David reflects on overcoming severe bullying, a career-ending car accident, and treatment-resistant depression following family losses in 2010. Hitting rock bottom in 2011, he found resilience through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helped him rebuild his life and discover a purpose in connecting others. From founding West Michigan Geeks to launching 47 global meetup chapters during the COVID lockdown, David's story culminated in being recognized as a Point of Light by the George H.W. Bush Points of Light organization.David emphasizes building psychological resilience by identifying a “why” stronger than pain, using mindfulness and grounding techniques to manage intense emotions, and celebrating small wins to counter negative thinking. He shares his “Friend Magnet Instant Connection Formula,” which uses feel-good questions and active listening to build rapport quickly. For men struggling with isolation or social anxiety, David advocates starting small by attending local meetups, embracing discomfort, and listening actively to foster meaningful connections. His mission now focuses on teaching soft skills to IT workers, helping them communicate effectively and manage emotions to thrive in professional and personal settings.Key Takeaways:Resilience Through Purpose: Find a “why” bigger than your pain to push through adversity, using tools like ACT for mindfulness and IFS to address subconscious barriers.Connection Over Isolation: Combat loneliness by attending small local events, starting with simple interactions, and using active listening to build relationships.Friend Magnet Formula: Ask open-ended, feel-good questions and listen actively to create positive emotional associations and foster quick connections.Celebrate Small Wins: Counter negative thinking by acknowledging every small victory, as supportive relationships are key to longevity and resilience.Actionable Step: Join a local meetup or Facebook group event with 20 or fewer people, say hi to the organizer, and practice asking one feel-good question like, “What have you been doing for fun lately?”“Your purpose will find you if you do the work. Celebrate every small win to combat negativity and build resilience.” - David GoodLearn more about Tim through the following links:FacebookPodcasting group

On today's episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Maike Winkelmann. Maike shares her journey with cancer, it is a powerful testament to resilience and self-advocacy. Diagnosed initially in 2007 while raising a young daughter, Maike faced a recurrence in 2020, which led to the removal of her left breast. Despite the emotional and physical toll, she refused chemotherapy, opting instead for radiation and a personalized treatment plan that combined conventional and alternative approaches. Her story begins with the shock of diagnosis and the challenges of navigating treatment options, all while managing the responsibilities of motherhood and the weight of uncertainty about her future. When her cancer returned in 2023, Maike experienced pain, swelling, and a grim prognosis as metastasis was discovered in her bones, head, and backbone. Doctors initially dismissed her symptoms, but a new scan revealed the extent of the disease. She underwent further radiation and faced significant complications, including fluid accumulation in her lungs. During this difficult period, Maike found hope and inspiration in Jane McClelland's book, which motivated her to become a researcher and advocate for her own healing, determined to explore every possible avenue for recovery. Maike's comprehensive treatment plan is a blend of strict dietary protocols, natural supplements, and off-label drugs such as Metformin and Berberine, aimed at blocking cancer pathways and targeting cancer stem cells. She describes the importance of a starvation phase—avoiding sugar, animal protein, and certain amino acids—followed by a ferroptosis phase, which uses specific fats to induce targeted oxidation of cancer cell membranes. The process is demanding, requiring careful monitoring and frequent adjustments based on her body's response, as well as significant financial and logistical effort to access the necessary treatments and support. Despite the challenges, Maike's perseverance led to remarkable improvement. Within nine months, she progressed from being nearly bedridden to swimming and snorkeling, regaining mobility and quality of life. She credits her recovery not only to the physical aspects of her protocol but also to the mental and emotional support she received from her community and the stress-free environment she created for herself. Her story underscores the importance of holistic healing, where emotional well-being and community support play a crucial role alongside medical interventions.

Today we tackle the common issue of how parents should handle planned emancipation when their teenager carries one or more diagnoses like ADHD or Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorder or Dyslexia or Depression or Anxiety or Trauma etc. etc. etc. This question comes up a lot! Dr. Ken's take is clear and freeing—the diagnosis shapes how you coach but not whether you give freedoms. Parents can adjust their approach, offer tools, and expect some natural consequences, but lowering the bar only delays the growth they'll need when the world stops making accommodations. If you have a minute, please leave us a review. We love hearing listeners encouraging other listeners. You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here.Got questions or feedback?

Sophie Sargent walked into the studio already owning the mic. A pandemic-era media rebel raised in New Hampshire, trained in Homeland Security (yep), and shaped by rejection, she's built a career out of DM'ing her way into rooms and then owning them. At 25, she's juggling chronic illness, chronic overachievement, and a generation that gets dismissed before it even speaks.We talk Lyme disease, Lyme denial, and the healthcare gaslighting that comes when you “look fine” but your body says otherwise. We dive into rejection as a career accelerant, mental health as content porn, and what it means to chase purpose without sacrificing identity. Sophie's a former morning radio host, country music interviewer, and Boston-based creator with a real voice—and she uses it.No fake podcast voice. No daddy-daughter moment. Just two loudmouths from different planets figuring out what it means to be seen, believed, and taken seriously in a system designed to do the opposite.Spoiler: She's smarter than I was at 25. And she'll probably be your boss someday.RELATED LINKSSophie on InstagramSophie on YouTubeSophie on LinkedInMedium article: “Redefining Rejection”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Special Guest Willie Blake   https://coachwillieblake.com/freegift   In this episode of Profits Unleashed, I dive into a conversation that hits close to home for so many of us: the belief that we're “behind.” My guest, Coach Willie Blake—a dyslexic career and high-performance coach—shares his journey of transforming self-doubt into confidence and clarity, and why it's never too late to start. His story is proof that progress doesn't come from comparing yourself to others—it comes from taking small, consistent steps toward your goals. Key Takeaways I want you to hear today: You're not behind—you simply haven't started yet. Labels don't define you. You're not “lazy” or “a procrastinator”; you just have habits you can shift. Small daily action compounds. Willie's “2% Rule” shows how steady progress leads to extraordinary change. Clarity is essential. His GPS Method (Get clarity, Plan it, Start now) is a simple framework to break down any big goal. Flexibility in the journey matters more than rigid control—hold onto the vision, but stay open to how you get there. Willie's personal story is inspiring. Diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, he spent years feeling “behind” his peers. Instead of giving up, he reframed his challenges into fuel for growth. By leaning into tools like audiobooks and coaching, he went from struggling to read a single book to consistently absorbing 60 books a year. That shift didn't just expand his knowledge—it helped him step into his calling as a coach who empowers neurodivergent entrepreneurs and professionals to see their unique edge as an advantage. What stood out to me most is Willie's perspective on labels. When we say “I am this,” we box ourselves in. But when we shift to “I have this,” we reclaim power. That subtle language shift opens the door for growth, self-compassion, and change. If you've ever felt stuck, compared yourself to others, or believed you were too far behind to start—this conversation is for you. You can connect with Willie at coachwillieblake.com, where he shares resources, coaching opportunities, and his podcast. And stay tuned—after the break, I'll be debunking the myth that it's too late to start your own podcast. Spoiler: it's not. YouTube – Dyslexic Achievers Hub https://www.youtube.com/@DyslexicAchieversHub   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/willieblake-light/   Community (Skool) https://coachwillieblake.com/community   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/willieblake_light/   Facebook (Personal Profile) https://www.facebook.com/WillieBlake.Light/   YouTube – Coach Willie Blake https://www.youtube.com/@WillieBlake_Light So many people believe the myth that it's too late to start a podcast. After listening to my conversation with Coach Willie Blake, I couldn't help but notice how often we fall into the trap of thinking we're behind just because we compare ourselves to those further along. And the truth? You're not behind—you simply haven't started yet. Key Takeaways from this episode: It's not too late to start a podcast—there's more room than you think. Over 80% of podcasts are inactive, meaning consistency is your greatest advantage. Most podcasters quit too soon; those who keep going quickly stand out. Listeners crave authenticity and niche voices, not just celebrity shows. Your story matters—the people who need it are still waiting to hear it. Here's the reality: there are around 5 million podcasts worldwide, but fewer than 20% are actively producing new episodes. That means the space isn't oversaturated—it's full of abandoned shows. Consistency, not timing, is what separates the ones that thrive from the ones that disappear. I've said this before and I'll say it again: 90% of podcasts don't make it past three episodes, and of the ones that do, most never get past 20. That's not discouraging—it's an opportunity. If you commit to showing up, you're already ahead of the majority. Podcasting is still growing, audiences are expanding, and new listeners are tuning in every day. They're not just searching for big names; they're searching for voices that resonate with their unique struggles, interests, and goals. That could be you. Just like Willie's story reminded us, your challenges don't disqualify you—they can become your strength. Whether you're navigating dyslexia, ADHD, or simply the doubts that whisper “you're too late,” the moment you start and stay consistent, you've already set yourself apart. I'm grateful every day that I kept going, that I didn't stop when it felt tough, and that I get to share this platform with you. Your story deserves to be heard, and the world is waiting for it. If you're ready to finally start, head over to podcastprofitsunleashed.com and book a call. Let's get your voice out there.

Have you ever wondered: What if, in those early days after diagnosis, there was something you could do to help protect the insulin your body still makes? In this episode, we're exploring exactly that. I'm joined by Ulf Hannelius, CEO of Diamyd Medical, to talk about a therapy that could be a game-changer for people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It's called GAD therapy, and it's currently being studied in the DIAGNODE-3 clinical trial. We dig into the science behind this investigational treatment and the hope it offers for preserving the body's remaining insulin production. Ulf not only explains the research in simple terms, but also shares his vision for the future of T1D. We know how overwhelming diabetes research can feel, but this is one conversation everyone in the T1D community should hear, especially if you or someone you love is facing a new diagnosis.Quick Takeaways:The latest research aiming to protect insulin production after a type 1 diabetes diagnosisA clear breakdown of Diamyd Medical's GAD therapy and the DIAGNODE-3 trial — what it is, who it's for, and why it offers hope for the future of T1DWhat's actually happening inside the body of someone newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetesDefining T1D terms you've probably heard but no one ever defines: Honeymoon phase, C-peptide, Stage 3 Type 1 Diabetes, Antigen-specific therapy, GAD65 + more 

Jenn Fredericks is the featured guest in this episode, sharing her deeply personal journey as both a long-term patient and a dedicated caregiver. Diagnosed with chronic kidney disease as a teenager, Jenn received her first kidney transplant from her father at age 15, and later a second from her husband's twin brother. Her life took another challenging turn when her adopted daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of eight. Jenn describes the overwhelming responsibilities of managing her own health while navigating her daughter's complex medical needs, all while supporting her family and working through the emotional toll of caregiving.Throughout the episode, Jenn offers candid insights into the realities of caregiver exhaustion, discussing moments of vulnerability, anxiety, and the struggle to maintain resilience. She emphasizes the importance of taking intentional pauses—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—to recharge and remain present for loved ones. Drawing from her experiences, Jenn has developed resources such as a caregiver exhaustion quiz and founded the Carewell Circle, an online community for caregivers seeking support and connection. Her story is a testament to the power of self-awareness, community, and proactive self-care in the face of ongoing caregiving challenges.About Jenn:Jenn Fredericks understands the unique challenges of caregiving from a deeply personal perspective. For over 30 years, she has navigated her own health journey with chronic kidney disease, which has included two transplants. For more than a decade, she has also been a caregiver for her daughter through complex health challenges, including a brain tumor, and she now provides long-distance care for her parents.This extensive experience led Jenn to a powerful realization. While others called her "resilient," she often felt overwhelmed, to the point of being unable to walk through her own front door. Recognizing the gap between her inner feelings and the world's perception, she became a Personal Resilience Practitioner and Prosilience Coach. She discovered that true resilience isn't about being tougher; it begins with learning how to find small moments of presence, even in the middle of chaos.To share these insights with other caregivers, Jenn founded Carewell Circle, a community for those who understand the complex emotions of loving someone deeply while feeling trapped. She has also created a guide titled "Caregiving Relief You Don't Have to Wait For." Through her work, she teaches others the same powerful techniques that helped her find peace amidst her own challenges.Quiz: “What's Draining You Most Right Now?”subscribepage.io/caregiverquizCarewell Circle: swarm.store/jenn-fredericks-prosilience-coachThank you to our sponsor: CareScoutSupport the showConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Sisterhood of Care, LLC Website: www.confessionsofareluctantcaregiver.com Like us on Facebook!

Parents are asking a fair question: is what's on the school tray really food? In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz and guest Shari Gilford, NTP (Full Table Nutrition) open the lunchbox and get practical about raising healthier kids—at school and at home. The conversation swings from frustrations to solutions. Listeners will hear why many “kids' foods” are hyper-processed, hyper-palatable, and nutrient-void—and how families can pivot to real, brain-fueling meals without perfectionism or overwhelm. Shari Gilford is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who helps children and families build nutrition habits for lifelong health. Through Full Table Nutrition, she educates and inspires families to enjoy fresh, whole foods and be nourished for life. Diagnosed with hereditary kidney disease at age 11, she understands how poor health can disrupt childhood—and why preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes (a leading cause of kidney disease) matters. Her mission is to help transform the health of an entire generation. In this episode, expect: Clear, compassionate guidance on sugar, dyes, and ultra-processed “food-like products,” including why kids average ~17 teaspoons of added sugar/day, how that relates to focus, mood, and classroom behavior, and why protein-first breakfasts change the school day. Practical lunchbox wins: muffin frittatas; meatball “muffins”; leftover taco meat with crunchy chips; tuna or salmon salad for omega-3 brain power; beef sticks; hard-boiled eggs; colorful produce that packs and keeps. Picky-eater strategies that actually work: involve kids in choosing veggies (beet or grated carrot salads, jicama “dippers”), taste-training away from constant sweetness, and fun “compare & prepare” nights to find favorite veggie textures. Smart swaps & step-downs: the sugar-cube visual (4 g = 1 cube), gradual transitions from sweetened to unsweetened peanut butter and yogurt, and moving from juice to whole fruit. A simple at-home experiment kids love: three days of protein-strong breakfasts vs. one high-sugar morning—then track energy, mood, focus, and “battery level.” Parent empowerment: how to teach kids the “why,” build a two-week rotation of packable meals, and make real food doable on busy school mornings. This conversation is hopeful and hands-on—less about guilt, more about doing the next right thing with real food that steadies minds, builds bodies, and sets kids up to thrive.

"My testimony evolved a lot after I became a father. I could now relate in a different way than I'd ever understood before to what I think our Heavenly Father views with us in the trials that we go through. I think He is up at night, tears in His eyes sobbing because He knows the pain that we're going through, but He also knows that we need to go through it. The pain is part of what teaches us so much. Oftentimes it turns us into who we are because of how stark those lessons are."00:00 Struggles with Faith and Health05:31 Health Crisis in the MTC08:08 Struggles with Church and Faith12:36 Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis25:29 Dealing with Resentment After Returning Home30:37 Advice for Early Returned Missionaries37:54 Mental Health and Youth Challenges44:09 Perfectionism and Parental PressureCozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Mike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

In his new book The Long Haul Leader, Chris shares the framework he created to move from burnout to balance: a simple Life OS built on four pillars—impactful work, loving relationships, personal mastery, and hobbies.
