President Donald Trump praised January's jobs report after employers added 130,000 positions, calling the number “greater than expected.” But revised government data shows weaker annual job growth in 2025, and Black unemployment among men rose to 7.3%, well above the 4.3% national rate. Economists warn that limited job growth could leave workers in slower-growing sectors facing longer job searches.

You've heard of burnout. But what if the real crisis starts long before the breaking point? In this short opener, host Stacie introduces allostatic load — the scientific term for the cumulative "wear and tear" the body accumulates under chronic, unresolved stress. It's not a bad week. It's what happens when the body never fully recovers, and the nervous system learns to treat survival mode as its new normal. Research shows women carry a disproportionate allostatic burden — driven not just by biology, but by the invisible labor, emotional weight, and systemic pressures that don't clock out at 5pm. And for leaders and HR professionals, this matters: what often looks like a performance problem in your workforce may actually be a health signal hiding in plain sight. This episode opens a series that follows allostatic load where it leads — into autoimmune disease, hormonal disruption, ADHD, and what it truly costs women, leaders, and organizations when we keep misreading the signal. Under 5 minutes. But it might change how you see everything else. Stacie Origins of the Term The concept of allostasis — meaning "stability through change" — was first introduced by neurobiologist Peter Sterling and epidemiologist Joseph Eyer in 1988 to describe how the brain dynamically recalibrates internal physiological systems in anticipation of environmental demands, rather than simply reacting to them. Building on this foundation, neuroscientist Bruce McEwen and physiologist Eliot Stellar coined the term allostatic load in 1993, defining it as the cumulative physiological "wear and tear" the body experiences when allostatic systems are chronically activated, fail to shut off, or never perform normally. McEwen later described this as "the price of adaptation" — the physiological cost the body pays for sustained attempts to manage chronic stress. The Biological Cascade: What Happens in the Body When the brain perceives a stressor — real or anticipated — it activates two primary physiological systems: the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) axis, which releases catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline), and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which releases glucocorticoids, primarily cortisol. In the short term, these responses are adaptive and protective. However, under conditions of chronic, unresolved stress, this cascade remains activated. Over time, the brain and organ systems undergo measurable physiological changes: ↑  Elevated cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine (neuroendocrine markers) ↑  Elevated inflammatory markers: C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), fibrinogen ↑  Dysregulated blood pressure, lipid levels, glycated hemoglobin (metabolic markers) ↓  DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) — the protective counterpart to cortisol A 2001 landmark study using the MacArthur Studies of Successful Aging demonstrated that higher allostatic load scores at baseline were significantly associated with increased 7-year mortality risk and declines in both cognitive and physical functioning. A comprehensive 2020 systematic review of 267 studies confirmed that allostatic load and allostatic overload are robustly associated with poorer physical and mental health outcomes across a wide range of conditions.

Unexplained infertility, PMS, and low progesterone are often dismissed when labs fall “within range.” In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy explains why prolactin may be the missing piece. Learn how mildly elevated prolactin can suppress ovulation, lower progesterone, and impact fertility—even when labs appear normal. We also discuss common causes, symptoms, the role of stress and medications, and why diet (including gluten sensitivity) may matter. This episode focuses on precision medicine, not fear—helping you understand what standard reference ranges often miss. Citations: Research — Prolactin and Breast Cancer Risk Below are key epidemiologic and review papers that inform the discussion in this episode regarding prolactin and breast biology. These studies look at associations, not simple cause-and-effect relationships, and help explain why prolactin shows up in breast health conversations. Meta-analysis: circulating prolactin and breast cancer risk Wang M, et al. (2016). Plasma prolactin and breast cancer risk: a meta-analysis. Cancer Causes & Control. This meta-analysis pooled data from multiple observational studies comparing women with higher versus lower circulating prolactin levels. Across studies, higher prolactin levels were associated with a modest but statistically significant increase in breast cancer risk. The association was most evident in postmenopausal women and in hormone-receptor–positive tumors. This helps explain why prolactin is considered a relevant growth signal in breast tissue rather than just a “lactation hormone.” Systematic review and meta-analysis: prolactin levels across breast cancer cohorts Aranha AF, et al. (2022). Impact of prolactin levels in breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Endocrine-Related Cancer. This more recent systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated circulating prolactin levels across breast cancer populations and control groups. Elevated prolactin levels were associated with higher breast cancer occurrence, with stronger associations seen in invasive cancers and hormone-receptor–positive disease. This paper adds weight to the idea that prolactin participates in breast biology in ways that matter clinically, even outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Prospective cohort studies: prolactin measured before diagnosis Tworoger SS, et al. (2004; 2006). Prospective analyses from large cohorts including the Nurses' Health Study. In these studies, prolactin was measured years before any breast cancer diagnosis. Women with higher prolactin levels had a higher likelihood of developing breast cancer later, particularly estrogen-receptor–positive tumors in postmenopausal women. Because prolactin was measured before cancer developed, these studies help clarify timing and reduce the concern that elevated prolactin is simply a consequence of disease. Mechanistic context (supportive background) Experimental and translational studies show that prolactin receptor signaling influences mammary epithelial cell growth, differentiation, and interaction with estrogen signaling pathways. This provides a biologic backdrop for why epidemiologic associations between prolactin and breast cancer risk keep appearing across different study designs. How to read this as a clinician or patient These data do not mean prolactin “causes” breast cancer in a simple or deterministic way. What they do show is that prolactin is an active hormone in breast tissue, and chronically higher levels are consistently associated with changes in breast risk profiles across large populations. That's why prolactin deserves attention in conversations about fertility, breast symptoms, and long-term hormonal signaling—not fear, and not dismissal.    Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He's also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more.

CardioNerds (Dr. Shazli Khan, Dr. Jenna Skowronski, and Dr. Shiva Patlolla) discuss the management of patients post‑heart transplantation with Dr. Shelley Hall from Baylor University Medical Center and Dr. MaryJane Farr from UTSW. In this comprehensive review, we cover the physiology of the transplanted heart, immunosuppression strategies, rejection surveillance, and long-term complications including cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and malignancy. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls The Denervated Heart: The donor heart is surgically severed from the autonomic nervous system, leading to a higher resting heart rate (90-110 bpm) due to loss of vagal tone. Because the heart relies on circulating catecholamines rather than neural input to increase heart rate, patients experience a delayed chronotropic response to exercise and stress. Importantly, because afferent pain fibers are severed, ischemia is often painless. Rejection Surveillance: Rejection is classified into Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR), which is T-cell mediated, and Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR), which is B-cell mediated. While endomyocardial biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis, non-invasive surveillance using gene-expression profiling (e.g., AlloMap) and donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is increasingly utilized to reduce the burden of invasive procedures. The Infection Timeline: The risk of infection follows a predictable timeline based on the intensity of immunosuppression. The first month is dominated by nosocomial infections. Months one through six are the peak for opportunistic infections (Cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis, Toxoplasmosis) requiring prophylaxis. After six months, patients are primarily at risk for community-acquired pathogens, though late viral reactivation can occur. Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV): Unlike native coronary artery disease, CAV presents as diffuse, concentric intimal thickening that affects the entire length of the vessel, including the microvasculature. Due to denervation, patients rarely present with angina; instead, CAV manifests as unexplained heart failure, fatigue, or sudden cardiac death. Malignancy Risk: Long-term immunosuppression significantly increases the risk of malignancy. Skin cancers (squamous and basal cell) are the most common, followed by Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD), which is often driven by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Patlolla 1. What are the unique physiological features of the transplanted heart? The hallmark of the transplanted heart is denervation. Because the autonomic nerve fibers are severed during harvest, the heart loses parasympathetic or vagal tone, resulting in a resting tachycardia (typically 90-110 bpm). The heart also loses the ability to mount a reflex tachycardia; thus, the heart rate response to exercise or hypovolemia relies on circulating catecholamines, which results in a slower “warm-up” and “cool-down” period during exertion. 2. What are the pillars of maintenance immunosuppression regimen? The triple drug maintenance regimen typically consists of: Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI): Tacrolimus is preferred over cyclosporine. Key side effects include nephrotoxicity, hypertension, tremor, hyperkalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Antimetabolite: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) inhibits lymphocyte proliferation. Key side effects include leukopenia and GI distress. Corticosteroids: Prednisone is used for maintenance but is often weaned to low doses or discontinued after the first year to mitigate metabolic side effects (diabetes, osteoporosis, weight gain). 3. How is rejection classified and diagnosed? Rejection is the immune system’s response to the foreign graft and is categorized by the arm of the immune system involved: Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR): Mediated by T-lymphocytes infiltrating the myocardium. It is graded from 1R (mild) to 3R (severe) based on the extent of infiltration and myocyte damage. Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR): Mediated by B-cells producing donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) that attack the graft endothelium. It is diagnosed via histology (capillary swelling) and immunofluorescence (C4d staining). Diagnosis has historically relied on endomyocardial biopsy. However, non-invasive tools are gaining traction. Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) assesses the expression of genes associated with immune activation to rule out rejection in low-risk patients. Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) measures the fraction of donor DNA in the recipient’s blood. Elevated levels suggest graft injury which can occur in both ACR and AMR. 4. What is the timeline of infectious risk and how does it guide prophylaxis? Infectious risk correlates with the net state of immunosuppression. < 1 Month (Nosocomial): Risks include surgical site infections, catheter-associated infections, and aspiration pneumonia. 1 – 6 Months (Opportunistic): This is the period of peak immunosuppression. Patients are at risk for PJP, CMV, Toxoplasma, and fungal infections. Prophylaxis typically includes Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (for PJP/Toxo) and Valganciclovir (for CMV, dependent on donor/recipient serostatus). > 6 Months (Community-Acquired): As immunosuppression is weaned, the risk profile shifts toward community-acquired respiratory viruses (Influenza, RSV) and pneumonias. However, patients with recurrent rejection requiring boosted immunosuppression remain at risk for opportunistic pathogens. 5. How does Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) differ from native CAD? CAV is the leading cause of late graft failure. Unlike the focal, eccentric plaques seen in native atherosclerosis, CAV is an immunologically driven process causing diffuse, concentric intimal hyperplasia. It affects both epicardial vessels and the microvasculature. Because of this diffuse nature, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often technically difficult and provides only temporary palliation. The only definitive treatment for severe CAV is re-transplantation. Surveillance is critical and is typically performed via annual coronary angiography, often using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to detect early intimal thickening before it is visible on the angiogram.

Dr. Michael R. Montgomery (PhD, MA, MSc, MSW, LCSW) is an existential psychoanalyst who represents a radical wing of contemporary depth psychology—one deeply influenced by R.D. Laing's anti-psychiatry tradition, phenomenology, and a fierce commitment to humanising extreme mental states. Based between Boston, Massachusetts and having deep roots in post-conflict Belfast, Montgomery positions himself as both clinician and activist, bridging psychoanalytic practice with community healing, peace work, and cultural critique.His signature concept—"psychophobia" (society's fear of the mind and extreme mental states)—anchors a body of work challenging psychiatric medicalisation, advocating for phenomenological approaches that honour lived experience, and reclaiming psychosis, mania, and other "extreme states" as potentially transformative rather than purely pathological._____________In this conversation, Michael Montgomery shares his journey through various philosophical and spiritual traditions, emphasising the importance of bridging Eastern and Western thought in psychotherapy. He discusses the role of silence, community, and personal experience in healing, while also addressing the complexities of faith and human nature. The dialogue explores the concept of psychophobia and the transformative power of music and community in fostering connection and understanding._____________

If you are exhausted all the time and can't figure out why, this episode is for you. Today I'm breaking down the real truth about adrenal health, cortisol, and fatigue, and why so many women feel stuck, dismissed, or confused when it comes to their energy. Fatigue is not one thing. It is not always just stress, and it is definitely not something you should be told to "just push through." One of the most frustrating things about fatigue is that so many symptoms overlap. Low energy can come from nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar instability, thyroid dysfunction, estrogen or progesterone imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, or cortisol issues. This is why guessing rarely works. When women ask me: Why do I feel like this? Are my adrenals burned out? Is my cortisol too high or too low? Why does nothing I try actually fix this? The answer is not a guess. The answer is data. This is one of the reasons I love the DUTCH test so much. It shows us what your body is actually doing with cortisol, not just a single snapshot in time. I recently reviewed a DUTCH test for a woman whose main concern was low libido. She had tried every testosterone supplement out there and even changed her workouts to boost hormones. Her testosterone looked great. The real issue was her cortisol and adrenal function. This is incredibly common. Cortisol issues can shut down libido, energy, motivation, sleep, and even weight regulation, especially in women. High Cortisol vs Poor Cortisol Clearance Sometimes fatigue comes from producing too much cortisol. Other times, it comes from the body being unable to clear cortisol effectively. The DUTCH test shows us both. Elevated cortisol production can look like feeling wired but tired, anxious, inflamed, unable to sleep, or constantly on edge. Poor cortisol clearance can lead to puffiness, brain fog, inflammation, weight gain, hair loss, and a sense that stress just keeps piling up. These require different strategies, and this is where personalized care matters. Why Lifestyle Has to Be Part of Healing If someone is helping you with hormones but never asks about your sleep, stress, digestion, or daily life, you are not getting full care. Sometimes healing looks like: Supporting cortisol regulation with adaptogens and targeted herbs Improving protein and mineral intake Fixing sleep timing and consistency Supporting liver, gut, lymphatic, and kidney clearance Learning how to stop living in constant survival mode And sometimes the most powerful changes are surprisingly simple, but only once you know exactly what your body needs. How We Actually Fix This Once we know what's going on, the next question is always: "Okay, what do I do about it?" This is exactly what we do inside The Hormone Foundations Program. This is a six-month, one-on-one program where we: Run a DUTCH test at the beginning Create a fully personalized plan based on your results Adjust support as your body changes Address adrenal function, cortisol production, and clearance Re-test at the end so we can compare and confirm progress There is no cookie-cutter timeline. We focus on what your body needs, not what a generic schedule says you should work on. This is our most popular program for a reason. It gives you answers, a plan, and support every step of the way.

More girls are getting their first period at 8, 9, even 10 years old — and while there is a normal range for puberty, this trend deserves a deeper conversation. In this episode, Ellie breaks down why early cycles are becoming more common, what history and current research actually show us, and — most importantly — why early menarche is not a neutral event for long-term health. We talk about: What age girls typically should begin menstruating Why “common” does not always mean “optimal” How modern inputs like food quality, environmental chemicals, stress, and sleep disruption are signaling young bodies to grow up faster The long-term health implications of early puberty, including hormone imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, mental health challenges, fertility considerations, and increased disease risk later in life What parents can realistically do now to reduce toxic load and support healthier hormonal timing — without fear, perfection, or going off-grid This episode is not about blame.It's about awareness, empowerment, and stewardship of our daughters' health. Puberty isn't broken.The inputs are. A proactive, education-based course for parents who want to understand hormones, cycles, blood sugar, and modern health inputs — and help their daughters grow up grounded, informed, and supported. ⁠

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the five most important lab tests that reveal how well your heart, brain, metabolism, and longevity systems are functioning. You'll learn why standard lab work often misses early warning signs. These markers help identify risk long before symptoms appear.   You'll see how fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and the triglyceride to HDL ratio expose whether your body is stuck in sugar burning or efficiently using fat for fuel. Dr. Jockers explains what optimal ranges actually mean. These labs paint a clear picture of metabolic health.   Homocysteine and C-reactive protein reflect inflammation, cardiovascular stress, and brain aging. Dr. Jockers explains how elevated levels connect to long-term disease risk. These markers offer critical insight into overall longevity.   In This Episode:  00:00 Understanding Hemoglobin A1C 00:24 Introduction to Top Lab Tests 03:18 Top 5 Lab Tests for Health and Longevity 04:21 Fasting Insulin Levels: The Superhero Hormone 06:43 Hemoglobin A1C: Blood Sugar Regulation 08:36 Triglycerides to HDL Ratio: Metabolic Health 12:03 Homocysteine: The Inflammatory Amino Acid 15:18 C-Reactive Protein: Inflammation Marker 18:10 Diet and Lifestyle for Optimal Health 21:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Hair loss isn't caused by age but by hair follicles being switched off, and Swiss researchers discovered how to turn them back on with Purality Health - AnaGain Nu, a clinically proven compound extracted from pea sprouts that stimulates hair follicle cells and pushes them back into the growth phase.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/UU_txxMOYt8  In this comprehensive case brief, we break down the latest developments in the tragic double homicide of Spencer and Monique Tepe in Columbus, Ohio. They were found deceased with gunshot wounds on December 30, 2025. Two minor children were found unharmed inside the home. Monique Tepe's ex-husband, vascular surgeon Michael McKee, was arrested in Rockford, Illinois, on January 10, 2026. An overview of the probable cause affidavit, which connects neighborhood video surveillance and a vehicle to McKee, as well as comments from Spencer's family regarding the ex-husband. We look at Michael McKee's initial court appearance on January 12th, where he waived extradition to Ohio to face charges. The prosecution initially filed murder charges, but quickly elevated them to Aggravated Murder (first-degree premeditated murder) for both victims, alleging McKee acted "purposely with prior calculation and design" and shot the victims multiple times. This elevated charge carries the potential for life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty in Ohio.

Too busy to read the Lens? Listen to our weekly summary here! In this week's episode we discuss:Circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer predicts visual field loss early in glaucoma, while macular ganglion cell inner plexiform layer becomes more informative with advancing disease.Although intraocular pressure has been proven as a continuous risk factor when treating glaucoma, the historic intraocular pressure cutoff of 22 millimeters of mercury is used by many clinicians as an inflection point for initiating or escalating intraocular pressure-lowering therapies in glaucoma patients. Elevated aqueous humor L-lactate in uveal melanoma may reflect tumor metabolism, offering a potential noninvasive biomarker for early lesion detection.

What will fashion actually look like in 2026? More importantly, what will you really wear? In this episode of Glamour Farms: The Podcast, our host, Haley Klockenga is breaking down the 2026 style forecast with a focus on wearable trends, elevated basics, and realistic ways to refresh your wardrobe for the new year. From comfort-core and quiet luxury to the return of femininity and playful maximalist details, this conversation cuts through the noise and highlights what truly matters for everyday style. We talk about the rise of soft romantic silhouettes like lace, florals, and “coquette-lite” tones, how poetic-core is influencing fashion in a more grown-up way, and why fun denim is having a major moment. *cue the confetti* You'll also hear about standout trends like bold coats, Kelly green, khaki neutrals, perfume layering, and how nostalgia from the 1970s–1990s (yes, even 80s beauty) is shaping 2026 fashion. Plus, we're sharing what's officially on its way out... spoiler: skinny jeans, outdated color palettes, bland basics, and relying on graphic tees or leggings as pants to define your style. If you're looking for 2026 fashion trends you'll actually wear, practical style inspiration, and encouragement to be more adventurous with your wardrobe this year, this episode is the perfect place to start.

If your metabolism feels stuck… If hormones feel chaotic… If digestion, energy, or weight loss feel harder than they should… Your liver is likely part of the story. In this episode, Ellie dives into the liver — an organ that quietly performs hundreds of vital functions every single day, yet is often overlooked until symptoms appear. We break down what the liver actually does, why it plays such a critical role in metabolism, digestion, hormone balance, and detoxification, and how modern life has placed an unprecedented load on this powerful system. You'll learn: Why the liver is the metabolic “air traffic control center” of the body How liver function impacts digestion, bile flow, and nutrient absorption The connection between the liver and hormone balance (including estrogen and cortisol) Why liver overload can stall fat loss and disrupt blood sugar How stress and emotional load influence liver signaling in the body Simple, realistic ways to support liver health — without extreme detoxes or deprivation This episode isn't about “cleanses” as a trend. It's about understanding why support matters and how partnering with your body changes everything downstream. When the liver is supported, metabolism gets easier. Hormones regulate more smoothly. Energy returns.

In this episode, Sherry breaks down one of the most misunderstood reasons weight release feels impossible — and it has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or “doing it wrong.” It's all about your nervous system, hormones, and how your body is trying to protect you.1. The Autonomic Nervous System: Your Body's Survival Command CenterSherry revisits the autonomic nervous system — the unconscious system running everything behind the scenes: thoughts, emotions, behavior, hormones, digestion, metabolism.When life feels overwhelming or unsafe, this system shifts into protection mode (fight-or-flight, sympathetic state). This state isn't bad or broken — it's brilliant, designed to help you survive real danger. The problem? It was meant to last minutes or hours, not weeks, months, or years.2. Why Protection Mode Slows MetabolismWhen your body senses danger, survival comes first, not weight release. It adapts by slowing metabolism, conserving energy, increasing cravings, and prioritizing fat storage.If you struggle with constant hunger, sugar cravings, binge eating, or dopamine-seeking behaviors, remember: your body is not failing — it's doing exactly what it was designed to do.3. Cortisol: The “Keep You Alive” HormoneCortisol, released from the adrenal glands in protection mode, keeps blood sugar available, provides instant energy, and ensures survival.Cortisol pulls glucose into the bloodstream, increases cravings for quick energy, triggers binge responses, and makes you feel like a bottomless pit. In modern life, we stress, sit, and scroll instead of running or climbing. That unused blood sugar circulates, creating hormonal consequences.4. Insulin: The Storage HormoneWhen blood sugar stays high, insulin steps in to store glucose as glycogen, protect tissues, and convert excess sugar into body fat once storage is full.When insulin is high, your body cannot access stored fat. This is why weight release stalls and dieting feels futile. Repeated cortisol + insulin spikes can lead to insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, PCOS, hypothyroid symptoms, or adrenal fatigue. Sherry reminds us: these conditions are results, not starting points.5. Why Dieting Doesn't Fix the Root ProblemTrying to “just stop sugar” while cortisol is high is like trying to stop your body from healing a cut. Logic cannot override biology. Elevated cortisol keeps cravings, binge urges, and food obsession active. That's why Make Peace With Food starts with regulating the nervous system, not controlling food.6. Scarcity Mindset = Protection ModeScarcity mindset is protection mode. Any “not enough” thought — not enough time, sleep, money, progress, worth — keeps cortisol elevated. Success doesn't eliminate scarcity because it's fear-based. Fear biologically signals danger.7. Fear Creates ChemistryEvery thought creates chemistry: Scarcity → fear → protection mode → cortisol → cravings + storage. This is why people can know what to do, want change, yet still feel stuck. Biology always overrides willpower.TakeawaysYour body is protective, not failing.Cortisol and insulin are survival hormones.Chronic stress locks the body into storage mode.Dieting cannot fix a dysregulated nervous system.Scarcity mindset keeps you in protection mode.Journal PromptsWhere do I live in “not enough”?What fears keep my body in protection mode?How does my body protect me through food?What would safety feel like in my body today?What small shift could move me from scarcity to trust?Listen to more episodes at makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

As the year wraps up, I've been looking back at some of my favorite chats from the shows I visited this season. New episodes return January 7. On this episode of the Elevated Thoughts podcast, I sat down with two thoughtful first-time dads to talk about the topics parents are wrestling with right now. We got into the messy middle of vaccine hesitancy, why so many families feel caught between loud opinions, and how I work through those conversations in my practice with honesty and calm. We also talked about what it's really like to raise kids in an online world where everyone feels permission to comment on your choices. I shared my own experience as a pediatrician and mom. Why I struggled with decisions around my son's early medical care, how I think about benefit and risk, and why empathy has to stay at the center of these discussions. We moved into milestones, feeding, toddler chaos, and the everyday pressure parents feel to get everything “right.” We discuss: My own experience with hesitancy after my son's traumatic birth The rise of online misinformation and why parents feel so unsure What the vitamin K refusal trend is actually putting babies at risk for Government involvement in vaccines and where things get complicated The truth about financial incentives for pediatricians Milestones, late walking, and why parents shouldn't blame themselves How humor and connection help parents through the daily grind Why dads' voices matter in parenting spaces and how they shape the culture Elevated Thoughts is restoring positive discourse between right & left.
