Send us a textShort Summary: The flaws of nutrition epidemiology with Dr. John SpeakmanAbout the guest: John Speakman, PhD is a professor at the University of Aberdeen and runs a lab in Shenzhen, China, focusing on energy balance, obesity, and aging. Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. John Speakman explores the pitfalls of nutrition epidemiology, a field that links diet to health outcomes like cancer and obesity but often produces contradictory results. They discuss flawed methods like 24-hour recalls and food frequency questionnaires, which rely on memory and are prone to bias, and introduce Speakman's new tool using doubly labeled water to screen implausible dietary data. The conversation highlights systematic biases, such as under-reporting by heavier individuals, and emerging technologies like photo diaries and AI for better dietary tracking.Key Takeaways:Nutrition epidemiology studies often contradict each other due to unreliable methods.Common techniques like 24-hour recalls & food frequency questionnaires suffer from memory issues, portion size issues, and systematic biases, often underestimating food intake.Heavier individuals (higher BMI) under-report food intake more, skewing associations between diet & obesity.Speakman's tool, based on 6,500 doubly labeled water measurements, predicts energy expenditure to flag implausible dietary survey data.Emerging technologies, like smartphone photo diaries and AI food identification, promise more accurate dietary tracking than traditional surveys.Randomized controlled trials, not surveys, provide the most reliable dietary insights; single-day intake surveys linked to outcomes years later are dubious.Speakman advises ignoring most nutrition epidemiology headlines due to their inconsistency and lack of prognostic value for behavior change.Related episode:Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Send us a textShort Summary: Cancer's metabolic roots with Dr. Thomas Seyfried.About the guest: Thomas Seyfried, PhD is a professor of biology at Boston College. He has researched cancer metabolism, epilepsy, and lipid biochemistry for over 40 years.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Thomas Seyfried discusses the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer, challenging the dominant somatic mutation theory. He explores how cancer cells rely on fermentation due to defective oxidative phosphorylation, drawing on Otto Warburg's work. Seyfried explains how ketogenic diets and nutritional ketosis can starve cancer cells by limiting glucose and glutamine, while sharing evidence from nuclear transfer experiments and clinical studies. The conversation also covers environmental factors driving cancer and the importance of metabolic flexibility for prevention.Key Takeaways:Cancer is characterized by dysregulated cell growth, but Seyfried argues it stems from mitochondrial dysfunction, not just genetic mutations.Cancer cells ferment glucose & glutamine, unable to use fatty acids or ketones, making ketogenic diets a potential therapeutic tool.Nuclear transfer experiments show cancer traits reside in the cytoplasm, not the nucleus, challenging the somatic mutation theory.Environmental factors like processed foods, stress, and poor sleep disrupt mitochondrial function, increasing cancer risk.Seyfried's glucose-ketone index helps monitor metabolic states to manage cancer & chronic diseases.Cancer rates are rising in younger people, possibly due to obesity, inflammation, and environmental toxins.Metabolic flexibility, cycling between ketosis and carb-based states, may mimic ancestral patterns and reduce chronic disease risk.Related episode:M&M #215: Cancer Metabolism: Sugar, Fructose, Lipids & Fasting | Gary PattiSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Send us a textShort Summary: Heart health and the ketogenic diet, with expert insights from a cardiologist and researcher.About the guest: Matthew Budoff, MD, is a preventive cardiologist and professor of medicine at UCLA School of Medicine.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Matthew Budoff discusses cholesterol, heart disease, and his study on the ketogenic diet's impact on lean, metabolically healthy individuals with high LDL cholesterol. He explains LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, debunking myths about their direct link to heart disease, and emphasizes the importance of coronary calcium scans to assess plaque buildup. Budoff also covers statins, dietary cholesterol, and personalized heart health strategies.Key Takeaways:LDL cholesterol is not a definitive predictor of heart disease; plaque buildup, assessed via coronary calcium scans, is a better indicator.Lean metabolically healthy people on a ketogenic diet may have high LDL without increased plaque progression after one year.Coronary calcium scans, costing ~$100, are recommended for men around age 40 and women around 45-50 to evaluate heart disease risk.Statins effectively lower LDL and can reverse soft plaque, but may be overprescribed for those without plaque buildup.Dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on blood cholesterol, as the liver produces ~85% of it.Ketogenic diet can aid weight loss & diabetes control but may cause high LDL in some lean individuals, known as lean mass hyper-responders.Plaque progression depends more on existing plaque than LDL levels in metabolically healthy ketogenic diet followers.Heart health varies widely due to genetics and other unknown factors, underscoring the need for personalized assessments.Related episode:M&M #158: Ketosis & Ketogenic Diet: Brain & Mental Health, Metabolism, Diet & Exercise, Cancer, Diabetes | Dominic D'AgoSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Send us a textShort Summary: A mind-bending dive into evolutionary biology and health through a biophysicist's lens, with Dr. Jack Kruse delivering provocative insights about biology, medicine, and health.About the guest: Jack Kruse, MD, is a neurosurgeon known for integrating biophysics into medicine. He challenges conventional biochemistry with his “leptin prescription” and decentralized health approach.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Jack Kruse joins host Nick Jikomes to explore the Great Oxygenation Event's role in shaping life, linking it to modern health via biophysics over biochemistry. They discuss oxygen's impact on metabolism, the significance of deuterium-depleted water, and sunlight's influence on the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Kruse shares his dramatic weight loss journey using sunlight and cold therapy, critiques modern tech-driven obesity, and unveils a controversial history of SV40 in vaccines, tying it to cancer spikes.Key Takeaways:The Great Oxygenation Event (2.1-2.4 billion years ago) drove life's shift to oxygen-based metabolism, with cyanobacteria as key players.Kruse argues biophysics, not biochemistry, explains evolution, spotlighting light as life's fundamental driver.Deuterium-depleted water is important for enabling our cells and mitochondria to use energy from the TCA cycle without “shocking” the body.Sunlight exposure boosts nitric oxide, reducing food needs via the leptin pathway, challenging diet norms.Kruse lost 133 pounds in 11 months using sunlight and cold therapy, inspiring his “leptin prescription.”He links obesity to indoor tech lifestyles, disrupting heme proteins and mitochondrial function.SV40, a virus in 1950s polio vaccines, may connect to cancer rises, a story Kruse says was buried by centralized science.Related episode:M&M #196: Vaccine Contamination & Fiat Science Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Send us a textShort Summary: A deep dive into the science of oxidative stress, antioxidants, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.About the guest: Pamela Maher, PhD is a professor at the Salk Institute in San Diego, California, with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases, oxidative stress, and antioxidants.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Pamela Maher discusses her research on cell death mechanisms, including apoptosis and ferroptosis, and their roles in health and disease. They discuss how oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species can damage cells, the body's antioxidant defenses like glutathione and studies on natural compounds—fisetin, curcumin, and cannabinol (CBN)—that may protect against brain cell loss. The conversation covers CBN's mitochondrial benefits in aging mouse models and broader risk factors for dementia, like obesity and hearing loss, emphasizing early intervention.Key Takeaways:Apoptosis is a controlled cell death process vital for development, while ferroptosis, linked to oxidative stress and iron, causes cells to burst and is tied to diseases like Alzheimer's.Oxidative stress arises when reactive oxygen species overwhelm antioxidants, damaging DNA, proteins, and cell membranes, especially polyunsaturated fats.Glutathione, a key antioxidant, relies on cysteine and declines with age, but supplements like N-acetylcysteine might help, though tolerability varies.Cannabinol (CBN), a THC byproduct, protects mitochondria and improves memory in aging mice, hinting at therapeutic potential beyond cannabinoid receptors.Middle-age risk factors like visceral obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hearing loss significantly increase dementia risk, but hearing aids can reduce it.Related episode:M&M #165: PUFAs in Brain Health & Disease, Dietary Fats, Brain Lipids, Nutrition | Richard Bazinet*Not medical aSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Send us a textShort Summary: A detailed examination of shamanism with anthropologist Manvir Singh, blending evolutionary theory and vivid storytelling.About the guest: Manvir Singh, PhD is an anthropologist at the University of California, Davis. His new book, "Shamanism: The Timeless Religion," comes out on May 25, 2025.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Manvir Singh discusses shamanism's role as a universal human practice, exploring its roots in cultural evolution, cognitive tendencies, and persistence across history and modern society. They discuss how shamans use altered states to address uncertainty—like healing or divination—while examining shamanism's interplay with centralized religion, its psychological benefits, and parallels in today's world, from tech gurus to medical placebos.Key Takeaways:Shamanism is a widespread cultural practice involving specialists who enter altered states to engage with unseen forces, often for healing or managing uncertainty.It's not an archaic precursor to modern religion but a recurring expression of spiritual beliefs & practices, competing with other forms.Techniques vary widely—dance, music, psychedelics—but only about half of shamans historically used psychoactive substances.Modern parallels include tech CEOs and money managers who project exceptionalism to influence others, echoing shamanic charisma without trance.Open-label placebos (where patients know it's fake) still work, suggesting rituals alone can trigger healing, much like shamanic practices.Singh sees shamanism as a cognitive technology, not inherently good or bad, shaping how we cope with chaos across cultures and time.Related episode:M&M #86: Shamanism, Psychedelics, Social Behavior, Religion & Evolution of Human Culture | Michael Winkelman*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Send us a textShort Summary: Insider's look at the COVID-19 pandemic response from a seasoned epidemiologist, unraveling myths and lessons with straightforward science.About the guest: Martin Kulldorff, PhD is an epidemiologist and biostatistician with decades of experience in infectious disease monitoring and vaccine safety. He was formerly a professor at Harvard Medical School. Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Martin Kulldorff discusses the COVID pandemic response, reflecting on the controversial Great Barrington Declaration, which opposed lockdowns in favor of protecting the vulnerable. They explore the virus's fatality rates, asymptomatic spread, and vaccine efficacy, contrasting textbook epidemiology with real-world decisions. He critiques institutional failures, like the CDC's misleading claims. He shares optimism for future pandemics with better leadership and public awareness.Key Takeaways:Lockdowns ignored basic public health principles, causing collateral damage like missed cancer screenings, while Sweden's focused protection approach led to lower excess mortality.Early data showed COVID's risk was 1000x higher for older people, yet lockdowns didn't prioritize them, unlike textbook strategies.Asymptomatic spread made containment impossible, unlike Ebola, where isolation works due to clear symptoms.Natural immunity was downplayed despite 2500 years of evidence, leading to wasted vaccines on those already immune.CDC falsely claimed vaccines stopped transmission, eroding trust when people got sick anyway, fueling vaccine skepticism.mRNA vaccine boosters lack proper trials, and their long-term effects need rigorous study, not assumptions.Kulldorff's new Journal of the Academy of Public Health pushes open peer review to rebuild trust in science.Related episode:M&M #100: Infectious Disease, Epidemiology, Pandemics, Health Policy, COVID, Politicization Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Episode Summary:Dr. Rachel Wheeler joins me today on Holy Heretics to discuss ecospirituality and the practice of rewilding both our life and faith.Let's be honest, Christians have a horrendous relationship with the natural world, best understood through a combination of harmful historical, theological, and cultural influences. Growing up evangelical meant believing the world was bad and, as a result, ecological well-being and the health of the planet were seen as secondary or unimportant compared to “getting saved.” In addition, an overt emphasis on the afterlife as well as a history of colonialism has often led to a devaluation of our earthly home.From a theological perspective, one of the most influential ideas shaping Christian attitudes toward nature is the concept of dominion described in Genesis 1:28, where humans are given authority over the Earth and its creatures. Historically, this idea was interpreted as humans being granted the right to exercise control over nature and exploit its resources. Western Christianity interpreted "dominion" not merely as stewardship but as mastery or ownership over creation. This led to an anthropocentric (human-centered) worldview, where human needs and human desires were placed above the health of ecosystems and non-human creatures.Thankfully, we are evolving.Ecospirituality has gained significant attention and popularity in the modern world due to a convergence of ecological, spiritual, political, and social challenges. It refers to a spiritual perspective that recognizes the interconnectedness of all life and emphasizes the sacredness of the natural world. It involves an awareness of the Earth's ecosystems, the understanding that human beings are part of a larger web of life, and the recognition that spiritual growth is inherently tied to the health and well-being of the planet.Ecospirituality often incorporates elements from various spiritual traditions, including indigenous wisdom, pantheism, animism, Buddhism, and environmental ethics. It seeks to address the environmental crises through spiritual practices, such as reverence for nature, rewilding, meditation, forest bathing, and radical kinship with all sentient beings.This rising interest reflects a growing recognition that environmental issues cannot be addressed solely through scientific or political means, but also require a profound shift in our worldview, values, and spirituality.So, where do you start? How can you change your relationship with the natural world as an integral part of your faith journey?Dr. Rachel Wheeler invites us to see ourselves and the world around us in radically new, yet ancient ways. Drawing from the deep wisdom of the Desert Mothers and Fathers, Dr. Wheeler reminds us that we humans aren't separate and distinct from creation, but in fact we are mutually dependent. While still emphasizing our human responsibility to steward the Earth and its resources, Dr. Wheeler sees human beings not as masters but caretakers and co-creators with nature. Her book, Radical Kinship: A Christian Ecospirituality, is available now!Bio:Professor Rachel Wheeler teaches courses on the Bible, Christian spirituality, ecospirituality, and spiritual practices at the University of Portland. She earned a PhD in Christian Spirituality from the Graduate Theological Union Berkeley and her other degrees reflect interests in monastic studies, literature, and music. She is particularly interested in the so-called desert Christians who lived in Egyptian, Palestinian, and Syrian deserts during late antiquity and her first book, Desert Daughters, Desert Sons: Rethinking the Christian Desert Tradition, offers a feminist critique of these Christians' practices. She is also interested in how people interpret their pro-environmental behavior as spiritual. An enthusiastic knitter and cyclist, she enjoys very much living in Portland, Oregon, with her spouse and two cats.Please follow us on social media (use the buttons below) and help us get the word out!

“An apology is a small word, but has enormous power interpersonally.” Episode Summary: Dr. Amy Edmondson, the world's leading authority in psychological safety, discusses her background and the science of failing well. She shares her journey from growing up in New York City to becoming a professor at Harvard Business School. She explains how her mentor, Buckminster Fuller, influenced her curiosity and joy for learning. Dr. Edmondson also delves into the concept of psychological safety and its impact on team learning and innovation. She distinguishes between mistakes and failures and introduces the three failure archetypes: intelligent failures, basic failures, and complex failures. Finally, she explores the relationship between uncertainty and preventability in the context of failure. In this conversation, Amy Edmondson and Shannon Cassidy discuss the importance of failing well and how to respond to failure. They explore the concept of psychological safety and its role in creating a culture that embraces failure as a learning opportunity. They also discuss the criteria for intelligent failure and share stories of successful individuals who have learned from their failures. The conversation covers topics such as self-awareness, the power of questions, the role of apology in healing relationships, and how to thrive as fallible human beings. R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: The relationship between uncertainty and preventability in the context of failure Failing well requires creating a culture of psychological safety where individuals feel comfortable taking risks and learning from failure. Self-awareness is crucial in failing well, as it allows individuals to recognize their weaknesses and make necessary adjustments. Asking good questions is a powerful tool in responding to failure, as it encourages reflection and learning. Apologies have the power to heal relationships and should be genuine, taking accountability and offering to make amends. To thrive as fallible human beings, it is important to persist through struggles, be reflective, and take more risks. Fallible Human Beings (FHB) coined by Maxi Maltzby Persist through struggles Invest time in reflection Learn how to apologize. Fail more often (take more smart risks). Guest Bio: Amy Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is the author of Right Kind of Wrong. After decades of award-winning research, Amy Edmondson is here to upend our understanding of failure and make it work for us. In Right Kind of Wrong, Edmondson provides the framework to think, discuss, and practice failure wisely. Outlining the three archetypes of failure—basic, complex, and intelligent—Amy showcases how to minimize unproductive failure while maximizing what we gain from flubs of all stripes. She illustrates how we and our organizations can embrace our human fallibility, learn exactly when failure is our friend, and prevent most of it when it is not. This is the key to pursuing smart risks and preventing avoidable harm. With vivid, real-life stories from business, pop culture, history, and more, Edmondson gives us specifically tailored practices, skills, and mindsets to help us replace shame and blame with curiosity, vulnerability, and personal growth. You'll never look at failure the same way again.

Episode Summary:Dr. Scott Schmidt joins the podcast to share his knowledge about caring for those with serious illness and those who are in the dying process. As a medical doctor with an expansive background in Emergency Medicine, Hospice Care, and now as a leader in the Primary Palliative Care field, Scott invites us to consider how we go about the realities that surround end-of-life. Along the way, we get a solid sense of what kind of attitudes, questions, and conversations are needed from both sides of the medical encounter. But don't be fooled, this episode has teachings for the healthy as much as for those with serious health challenges. In considering the inevitable fate of all bodies, Dr. Schmidt shows us how we can be more prepared and receptive to our individual impermanence at any point in our lives. Indeed, we come to see how forethought can help us be present and feel less overwhelmed in more trying times.Further on in the podcast, we learn how Scott's encounters with live-saving measures and his natural inclination toward helping those facing illness and death pushed him forward to being a leader in the Primary Palliative Care approach. Towards the end of the show, we get a very real glimpse into the difficulty of modern medicine, with its messy and often morally distressing dilemmas.With depth and humility in the face of the unknowable, this conversation is a remarkable one for both the significances that occur in the latter stages of life, and also with the genuine soulfulness Dr. Schmidt brings to these moving encounters. As he says, navigating serious illness and the inevitability of death is no simple thing. About Dr. Scott Schmidt: Scott Schmidt is an Emergency Medicine doctor and cultural change leader who is charged with developing Primary Palliative Care competencies. About Primary Palliative Care: is a subspecialty of medicine, that seeks to plan and address serious illness situations with an orientation to minimize suffering while tending to the whole person. Considered an upstream evolution from Palliative Care, Primary Palliative Care seeks to support Palliative Care competencies in all providers and teams.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about how to stand your ground physically in order to be present and to hear the truth. So much time is wasted in life not hearing the truth or telling the truth, so let your body be in good form to make this easier. Secondly, she talks about the maintenance of the most important joint in our body, the hips. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Standing up for yourself or speaking up for yourself. Telling your truth. If you are not grounded it will be very hard to be present in knowing the truth. You will also not be willing to be open or move forward. Practice this week in being grounded in your body. Moving to your important hip joints. If you can not squat down then that is not good. Do what you can to pull your knee to your chest for a minute.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about how our culture of denial is so pervasive that it blinds us to knowing when to reach out for help. She shares a very interesting case study that typified how denial leads to disability.  ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Book reference: At Peace by Samuel Harrington MD. This podcast is not about death, but Dr. Pearson has always embraced the fact that she will die and believes all of us should do the same. Denial is a lie and the more you lie to yourself the more you will believe it. Marketing is a great tool of denial as it makes you believe something that might not be true. Remember it's important to find out what the cause of the pain is so going back to the beginning is what is going to help you the most not what it is currently. What is it that you are denying?  What is it that you are pretending to not be a problem when it is? Do not be afraid to ask around if you don't know what to do.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson celebrates some learning she had from a recent flare of pain. She teaches how to stay aware, take action and don't pretend there is nothing wrong. Putting the pieces together as to why something happened is easier than you think. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson talks about how grateful she is for her husband. Then she tells us how she hurt her ankle while walking her dogs. Doc should have seen someone for help, but she didn't and later re-hurt herself. Dr. Pearson realized that she needed to get these injuries looked at and fixed before things ended up even worse. Once you identify where your limitation is it is easy to fix it. It's important to stretch into the pain but to be aware if it's extreme pain and why that might be. Is it possible your joint is not lined up correctly? Should you seek professional help to get realigned? It's important to have a team of people that you can go to that can help you. The longer you wait the harder it will be to recover. Recognize that everything feeds into everything else so if you hurt yourself in one spot it can totally affect you in another area of your body. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

You need to have your heart in the right place to have an open heart. Listen to yourself, self-love and respect is the theme for today. Dr. Pearson shares a letter that was written to her husband. It is easy to forget to love yourself. It's easy to live in fear and fall back on old bad habits. Sometimes it's essential to not think about others, but about yourself and allow others to care for you. Love your body, love your life and live every day to the fullest. Healing yourself is possible, you just need to try.  You just need to know that you can and understanding others that have done it can help you have the courage you need for yourself to do it. Listen to your body and do what makes you comfortable as long as it's taking a step in the right direction for healing. You have to make the choice to heal in order to fully recover.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about two case studies where both men had horrible neck pain and headaches when they looked up. One had been dealing with pain for 2 years and the other 7 years. It wasn't a case of a stiff neck that needed to be manipulated, in fact, that has been tried in both situations without success. Learn what might else cause this type of restriction and learn a test to determine what might be causing your limitation of motion. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… How do you learn what the right questions are to ask? Dr. Pearson talks about two different case studies of men with horrible neck pain. Muscles in your back are connected to your neck. The muscles in the front of your neck are also very important to take into consideration. Get on your back and lift your head back. If that is easy for you, then you probably won't have problems with your neck flexors. However, if you lift your head up and tuck your chin in and you find yourself shaking, then it is a very good indicator that you have weak or tight neck flexors. Now lay on your stomach and lift your head. There are things you can do to fix the problems. There are some clinics you can take with Dr. Pearson that will help with your neck pains.

Once again, the sooner you take care of your pain, the easier it will heal and the better you will be in the long run. Dr. Pearson talks about shoulder pains. When you lift your arm above your head you start to feel pain. You have tried exercises, but none of them seemed to be working. With the help of a friend, you can actually figure out what the source of the shoulder pain is. Go to this link to see a picture of what Dr. Pearson is talking about: https://8minutestoagless.kartra.com/page/Ep78 You have spaces between your joints for tendons and if that space has been compromised it will hurt your tendons and cause you pain.  When you have bad posture, it will cause your muscles to become weak or stretched wrong. Go to this link to see a picture of what Dr. Pearson is talking about: https://8minutestoagless.kartra.com/page/Ep78 Dr. Pearson explains what different muscles do during different movements. Get a friend who is not afraid to touch you and note when your arm starts to hurt when you lift it up. Have your friend stand behind you and place one hand on your pec muscle to stabilize you and have their other hand right over your scapula. They should be slightly pushing that bone in and down just a little bit. Now lift your arm again. Is there still pain or has it completely gone? If the pain is gone, then the good news is you just have weak muscles that you need to strengthen.  How do you do that? Dr. Pearson talks about an exercise she has in her book that will help you with this.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson discusses an extremely difficult client and how she brought his community of providers all together to figure out what the foundational problem was and how they devised a plan. She provides great tips for those of you with chronic pain and the challenges of getting the right care. After all, pain shortens life so let's find ways to move through. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson discusses a difficult patient who has seen many providers. She knew she was not making a dent so she did ask him to provide about seven other providers he trusts so they could do a case study. Doctors will ask many questions and sometimes if you don't speak simply things will get missed.  It is possible to be so stressed out that you can't receive anything good. The beautiful thing about having many different professionals gathered to talk is that you realize that there are things you might not know that others might see or know. Providers can also become stressed because they don't know what is happening or how to help. If you are having a lot of problems and you can't seem to find a solution, please, don't be afraid to reach out and see if your provider is willing to gather with others to talk through things.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson gets a little “dramatic” about her upset of a new drug, Ozempic, being used to treat childhood obesity. Yikes! Please, listen to her simple rules of thumb for saving your child and your family from a life with unknown consequences. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson has been doing a lot of reading lately and would like to share her concerns with you about drugs used for child obesity. She is going to share some simple do's and don'ts. She's going to share about five to six rules here is what you should do and here's what you shouldn't do. There are so many different types of diets out there that it can become confusing and overwhelming. 45% of adolescents are moving towards obesity and 25% are prediabetic or diabetic.   Diabetes is to cancer what smoking is to lung cancer.   80% of adults are overweight or moving toward obesity and 50% of them are prediabetic or are diabetic. American Pediatric Association just came out with a guideline for young adults and children should consider taking drugs or having surgery if they are overweight.  The medication they came up with is Ozempic which is actually a diabetic medication, that reduces their desire to eat, but it's an injection that they have to take every week for the rest of their lives.   If they stop taking the injection they may develop a metabolic problem that is unknown, they may gain the weight back to a greater degree, and the side effects are nuts. The vast majority of obesity can be improved with what a person chooses to think about what they choose to eat.  We are being told so many different things with different diets that it's easy to understand why people are getting so confused and just throwing up their hands. When we get depressed or frustrated it's easy to turn to our favorite foods and just eat away our problems.   So let's take a step back and ignore all these thoughts and rules of these other diets and try listening to some simple steps that Dr. Pearson is going to share with us. Try to stay away from fake foods and turn towards real food that doesn't have a list of ingredients. If you eat animals make sure they were cared for properly throughout their lives and not forced to eat things they wouldn't usually or given drugs to keep them alive long enough for slaughter. Don't eat farm fish, they are fed horrible things. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Eat slowly, sit down in a chair, and enjoy what it tastes like.  Make sure you aren't grazing all day long. If you are eating processed foods you will find you are hungry all day long, but if you are eating real foods then you find you aren't hungry as often.  Organic foods really do matter. Stay away from foods that are not good for your gut. A happy gut is a happy brain. Do these things for your kids so they don't end up addicted to things that will be harder for them to drop as they get older. You can't make these changes overnight, but you can slowly get these changes worked in over a year.  CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about how one of the best (worst) ways to create self-drama is to throw a couple of manly cuss words out in public and then wonder why. She shares her story about why swearing was a way to dissolve her introverted persona and force an extroverted behavior. Never a good outcome, list and find out why. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… There are reasons to swear, but there are very inappropriate times as well. Dr. Pearson tells us about how she was an introvert and how she forced herself to become extroverted. It's amazing how your association can influence the way you act or the things you say. Dr. Pearson did a workshop called Immunity to change and if you ever have a chance to do one she highly recommends it. Identify what you want to change (swearing) Identify why you want to change it. What would you be losing if you were to stop? What are the primary assumptions that you are making that make your answers to the previous question so uncomfortable? Swearing really is just self-imposed drama. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson continues on the drama theme and touches on one of the most magnificent drama-makers of all - Jealousy. She defines this nasty emotion and guides you to explore ways to kill it. As always she throws herself under the bus while giving good examples of how the green envy monster got a hold of her and how she escaped. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… This week we jump back into the Drama. Sometimes the jealousy loop can last weeks, months, or even years. It's essential to recognize jealousy for what it is. As we age our jealousy changes. Dr. Pearson touches on some of the different changes we might face. She then tells us a story from her college days. After trying to fix jealousy on her own, Dr. Pearson realized that fixing jealousy is really an inside job. You cannot fix jealousy by changing someone else. You have to fix jealousy by letting go in your heart and trusting yourself. When you look at what jealousy is in the bible it talks about jealousy and envy being the enemies of our soul. Jealousy is the opposite of self-love; it's a symptom of pride and a catalyst for conflict. Conflict is Drama! Sometimes the best practice is to just sit down with a journal and write down all the things you are grateful for and remind yourself of the blessing god has given you even if it's not as great as someone else. Stop minimizing the blessings you have been bestowed. We all have gifts so stop comparing them to ones you think you should have had. Dr. Pearson gives us another great example. Jealousy will eat you up from the inside out. It would be best if you stopped it. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson takes you into part 2 of how to save your back. She provides several simple and quick suggestions to keep you out of harm's way. No pain? She promises that a painless life leads to a happier life. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson talks about how to stay out of harm's way. It's important to make sure you are hip hinging properly. Dr. Pearson tells us what can happen with the discs and plates in our backs. It's important to limit the amount of time you are in a forward fold. Sitting in a chair and being slumped over is also not very helpful. Don't be impatient with yourself sometimes you have to move slowly. Reduce the possibility of slips and falls. Dr. Pearson tells us a way you can relieve pressure in your back while you are sitting if you have a wide enough chair. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson is taking a break from drama dodges this week and is lending some good tools for people with a history of back pain (or current pain!) to teach you a wonderful way to engage your cage (abdomens), without stressing your back out even more. No pain…you simply age better. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… We take a break from the mental drama and focus on the physical drama. The goal is to live up until we die. Dr. Pearson talks about lower back pain. She explains what EMG is. While we do need to strengthen our core compressing will not help you in the long run. (Sit-ups are not good for you) Dr. Pearson explains how to do spine-sparing exercises. You want to be consistent with these exercises, doing them every day will help build the strength you need.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson continues to describe the negative impact of our personally created drama cyclones and how it robs us of energy and life force. This week she talks about the pain of making a decision that you know deep down is not right, but yet still feel justified in making. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… We don't get to live the kind of life we would like to because of the self-imposed drama we create. Are you not being fluid when making important decisions? You may feel justified in the decisions you have made, but deep down inside you know it's not right. Are you pretending so that you don't see the details that are unpleasant or will force you to make even more significant decisions? Dr. Pearson gives a personal example. Are you hiding from the conflict your decisions make and pushing your belief forward even though you know it's not right? Does the decision you are making, need to be done at that exact moment or can it be held off for a better time that will not cause you drama? Have your decisions hurt others or caused damage to a relationship? Stop pretending and stop hiding from the deeper details while making decisions. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson speaks to how easy it is to compare yourself to others, all the while forgetting what is working well in your life. Choose to be grateful for anything, anything at all. This will help pull you out of the drama dug out! ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… No matter who you are there is always someone who has it worse than you. “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Often when we are being ungrateful we are comparing ourselves with others. When you wake up in the morning think about what you have to be grateful for. Focus on the good things and not the negative things we wish were different. Dr. Pearson tells us about a client she used to treat. Sometimes we overlook the beauty others see and only think about the things that bother us so much that we don't realize that no one else sees those things as ugly or bad. Pick one part of your body that you can learn to love. Sometimes gratefulness is the key to a longer life. Own what you look like, and be grateful for the pieces that you have got. Sometimes you have to go to extremes to be grateful. What if you lost the thing you are being ungrateful for? How would your life change if it was totally gone and there was nothing you could do about it. No matter how small say thank you and be grateful for the working piece. Be grateful for the things and people around you. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson discussed the 5th drama creator in our lives - lying. She discusses the art of lying, why we lie and how it shows up. More importantly, she gives a few tips on how to be an honest human and leave the nastiness of the pull on our heartstrings behind. The goal is to lose the drama and move towards a sense of freedom. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… At nine years old Kelli lied to her mom and learned a lesson quickly and never lied to her again. Sometimes we lie because we can't face the truth. Sometimes we lie because we don't want to be wrong. Truthfully the imperfections in each human are what make us. There are many different reasons why we might lie. What should we do instead? As soon as you realize the truth you need to own it! Sometimes we tell so many little white lies that it becomes a habit. If you are going to come forward with something make sure it truly is for the better not just for you, but others. This week try to come clean with a lie.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson takes on the 3rd reason for perpetual drama in our lives. Fear. Are you choosing “yes” or “no” to an action based on the fear associated with that possible next step? She talks about multiple instances in our day-to-day when we are wracked with fear, whether we know it or not. (Spoiler, she talks about scary things she has done despite the felt fear, including doing the flying trapeze at age 65) To see the video go here: https://d1aettbyeyfilo.cloudfront.net/8minutestoagless/30957040_1668714226784trapeze.mp4 ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson talks about Fear, another factor that causes drama in our lives. Everyone has fears whether they know it or not, whether they are willing to admit it or not. There are times when you let fear overwhelm you. Dr. Pearson gives us a few examples. Sometimes fear keeps us from taking action for recovery. Sometimes you just have to do one...two…three…do it! People who hold things intend to have a lot more body pain than those who do not. You have to get to the other side of the fear to see or feel the magic. Too many people choose fear instead of possibility. You don't want to let your song die inside of you. You have to take a risk. You have to believe in yourself. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

Episode Summary Dr. Devin Drown, associate professor of biology and faculty director of the Institute of Arctic Biology Genomics Core at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, discusses how soil disturbance gradients in the permafrost layer impact microbial communities. He also explains the larger impacts of his research on local plant, animal and human populations, and shares his experience surveilling SARS-CoV-2 variants in Alaska, where he and colleagues have observed a repeat pattern of founder events in the state. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways Permafrost is loosely defined as soil that has been frozen for 2 or more years in a row. Some permafrost can be quite young, but a lot of it is much older—1000s of years old. This frozen soil possesses large storage capacity for walking carbon and other kinds of nutrients that can be metabolized by microbes as well as other organisms living above the frozen ground. About 85% of the landmass in Alaska is underlined by permafrost. Some is continuous permafrost, while other areas of landmass are discontinuous permafrost—locations where both unfrozen soil and frozen soil are present. As this frozen resource is thawing as a result of climate change, it is releasing carbon and changing soil hydrology and nutrient composition, in the active layer in the soil surrounding it. Changes in the nutrients and availability of those nutrients are also likely changing the structure of the microbial communities. Drown and team are using a combination of traditional (amplicon sequencing) and 3rd generation (nanopore) next sequencing (NGS) techniques to characterize the microbes and genes that are in thawing permafrost soil. Featured Quotes: “Globally, we've seen temperatures increase here in the Arctic. Changes in global temperatures are rising even faster, 2-3 times, and I've heard recent estimates that are even higher than that.” “These large changes in temperatures are causing direct impacts on the thaw of the permafrost. But they're also generating changes in other patterns, like increases in wildfires. We just had a substantial wildfire season here in Alaska, and those wildfires certainly contribute to additional permafrost thaw by sometimes removing that insulating layer of soil that might keep that ground frozen, as well as directly adding heat to the to the soil.” “There are other changes that might be causing permafrost thaw, like anthropogenic changes, changes in land use patterns. As we build and develop roads into areas that haven't been touched by humans in a long time. We're seeing changes in disruption to permafrost.” “Some people are quite interested in what might be coming out of the permafrost. We might see nutrients, as well as microorganisms that are moving from this frozen bank of soil into the active layer.” “We're using next generation sequencing techniques to characterize not only who is in these soils, but also what they're doing.” “I started as a faculty member in 2015. As I moved up to Alaska, I got some really great advice from a postdoctoral mentor that said, make sure you choose something local. I'm fortunate enough that I have access to permafrost thaw gradient, that's effectively in the backyard of my office.” “Just a few miles from campus, we have access to a site that's managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. They have a cold regions group up here that runs a more famous permafrost tunnel. So they've dug a deep tunnel into the side of a hill that stretches back about 40,000 years into permafrost. They also have a great field site that has an artificially induced permafrost thaw gradient, and a majority of our published work has been generated by taking soil cores from that field site.” “Maintaining that cold chain, whether it's experimental reagents or experimental samples, is a challenge for everyone. We're collecting active layer soil—the soil directly beneath our feet—so that's not at terribly extreme temperatures. But we do put it in coolers immediately upon extracting from the from the environment. Then we can bring it back to our lab where we can freeze it if we're going to use it for later analysis, or we can keep it at appropriately cool temperatures, if we're going to be working with the microbial community directly.” “We were most interested in looking for microbes that might have impacts on the above ground. ecosystem. So when we were characterizing the microbial community, we were doing that because we also wanted to link it to above ground changes.” “Changes in vegetation that might be driven by changes in microorganisms would certainly have an impact on the wildlife that are that are present at the site. So, just as an example, if we see a decrease in berries that might be present, that might decrease the interest from animals that rely on that [food source]. And so we might see changes in who's there.” “Outside of my research, we've seen changes in the types of plants present across northern latitudes. So different willows, for instance, are moving farther north, and that is leading animals, like moose, to move farther north. And so we might see changes in those kinds of patterns directly as a result of the microorganisms as well.” “We're really working to expand our efforts to move to other kinds of disturbances. I mentioned wildfires before, these are an important source of disturbance for boreal forest ecosystems. We have a project here in the interior, looking at the impacts of wildfires on microbial communities and how [these disturbances] might be changing the functional potential of microbial communities.” Let us know what you thought about this episode by tweeting at us @ASMicrobiology or leaving a comment on facebook.com/asmfan.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about the silly situations her patients have reported that have led to chronic and hard-to-heal conditions. The theme of her message is the need to seek treatment sooner than later. The body is amazing in its ability to heal, particularly if you give it a head start. Recommended books: Joseph Dispenza - Rewire Your Anxious Brain Chris Maher - Free For Life ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson starts by telling us a story from when she was 18. She had broken her hand and believing that it was healed removed the cast against her doctor's wishes. Now she has an overgrowth bone in her hand that sometimes hits her nerve and causes numbness and sometimes pain. She looks back now and realizes that she probably should have been more cautious and listened to her doctor. Dr. Pearson then tells us a story about a mountain climber that broke his leg and shattered his ankle in his early 20s. He didn't go see a doctor for several weeks after the injury and by the time he did the doctors told him it was too late to do anything. Now that he is older he is having to deal with a lot of pain from that injury. Thankfully Dr. Pearson has been able to help him with movement and he will get a little better, but he will never be the way he used to be. Another story is about a young gentleman who tore his Achilles heel while playing basketball. He did have surgery, but no PT and he continued to play on it hard. Over time it affected his knee. Pain is our best friend; it can tell us when something is not right and we need to attend to it. A gentleman fell on a dock and broke about 4 or 5 ribs that ended up puncturing his lung. He didn't do anything to help with his rib mobility while he was healing and this affected his ability to bend. This also affected his back and he ended up with acute lower back pain. The overall point of all of Dr. Pearson's stories is to take care of your injury. Get in to seek professional help right away and then follow it up with proper care and learn how to move that injury the way it was supposed to move again. DO NOT WAIT TO GET CARE!

ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… This week Dr. Pearson held a Civility Workshop and she learned a great deal from it. The workshop had half the room as boomers and the other half as millennials. There is a real struggle in the world right now where employers are struggling to hire and keep employees which is a big stressor. Dr. Pearson tells us that she will be writing a book based on her findings through the Civility Workshops. The question they started off with what does it look like to be safe and secure at work. People are becoming more interested in knowing why they are doing something. The millennials believe the key is transparency and excellent communication with every change. We also need to manage expectations. The millennials are not used to talking face to face and having someone truly listen to them for a long period of time. So remember take time to just hush and listen to people, let them completely finish saying what they want and you can make them feel totally different without even saying a word.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about why you must trust your body can heal and why you must take your body for treatment when it's broken. Poor aging comes from unneeded suffering! She shares a family story about her brother and sister who played perfect roles to support our message today! ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… We will be talking about a subject that has two parts today. In order for us to do well in life, we have to pay attention to our bodies. Dr. Pearson was able to spend time with some family this last week. Her brother had recently started having really bad elbow pain. When you have pain it's best to look at what areas are attached to the area that is causing pain. As Dr. Pearson was testing her brother's muscles around his elbow she realized that some were weakened. That means that it was overworked and now it won't fully engage. She also discovered that the bones in his wrist weren't moving properly. His elbow joint also wasn't moving properly and seemed stuck. Proper posture also is a significant factor. The longer you wait with pain the harder and longer it will take to heal. Always listen to your body and seek professional help and guidance. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson discusses ways to lean in on both physical restrictions and emotional reactions that bind us up. Whatever we can do to loosen the barriers to ourselves helps to allow more life and a greater force of energy to move through our minds and bodies. She discusses a personal experience that illustrates these points powerfully. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Book club suggestion: The Inner Work of Age by Connie Zweig. To age well, we need to lean in both ways physically and emotionally. Breathe into the resistance and lean into the stretch more. Dr. Pearson is a big fan of Yoga. It's essential to get your whole body engaged. It is also important to have a positive attitude. It would be best if you leaned into your emotional pains as well. Sometimes you take hit after hit on your beliefs and ideology and it's not good to just hold it in. Learn to voice your thoughts and opinions in a loving and caring way. Leaning in with a gentle question is a good way to start. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about the marvel of walking, mainly walking without pain. Nothing makes the heart sing more than a movement that does not hurt. If you are plagued with plantar fasciitis, this episode will outline the causes and the fixes. Remember, lack of exercise is the common denominator in people who are not doing the aging thing well! ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… A client has lost over 95 pounds and did it by increasing movement in her life, mainly walking. Foot pain can keep us from moving. Dr. Pearson tells us about some of the causes of foot pain. If you have flat feet you will want to create an arch or create strength in your foot. She then tells us how to do a short foot exercise. Sometimes your ankle joint is messed up and it needs to be adjusted. Sometimes your calf muscle is too tight and it causes strain on your foot. Hanging out on a slant board can really help with the calf muscle. Sometimes you just need to go back to the basics. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson does a quick review of a recent insight she has seen in her civility workshop and gives you 3 statements you want to keep in the back of your mind that will clue you in on how well you are (or aren't) communicating. During the second part of the podcast, she shared a case study where prayer was used to provide direction on how to get out of pain. Never underestimate the power of prayer. She discusses some insight into the value of motion palpation of the spine to determine how to fix a painful problem. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… The Civility Workshop is designed to create compassion and respect with people you completely disagree with. Have you ever wanted to say let me finish? Or had someone say that to you? People who are angry or frustrated because they don't feel heard tend to have more problems in their bodies. Dr. Pearson then tells us about the power of prayer. She tells us about when she fell and really hurt herself. Dr. Pearson prayed for some guidance and she received a call from a colleague that she really respected. Luckily enough she was able to go out for dinner with that colleague as well as another one that she really respected. They gave her the answers she was looking for.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about how the lack of proper grounding can result in body pain. She refers to her personal history of having a wrist fracture while a co-ed at UCLA, and relates the upstream challenges she had later in life. More importantly, she will discuss how self-mobilization and self-treatment can work to unwind those faulty patterns, and allow you to have a better relationship with gravity, leading to better grounding and less pain. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Recognize the importance of being grounded. Do you plant your foot properly? How do your hands relate to what you are touching daily? Dr. Pearson gives an example from personal experience. After having a cast put on she took it off a week early, even though she was told she might have problems down the road she didn't listen. Luckily she never really had any problems until about 5 years ago when she slipped on the ice and re-injured it. Dr. Pearson teaches us how to get down on the floor and see if our hands can be properly grounded. She then teaches us ways we can help get our alignment back to where it needs to be. If you would like extra help there will be a video available. Just email Kelli at kpearsondc@mac.com Next week we will be talking about grounding through the feet, but in the meantime feel and study how you do in that area. Create strength where you are weak.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson discusses two cases, one about someone with acute neck pain and one about a person with a lumbar disc herniation that was ultimately treated by changing one of the most fundamental movement patterns in our life. It is free, easy, and best of all it works! Take a listen. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson begins by telling us a little bit about the Czech Republic. We do not like to look fat in this country so when someone tells you to breathe into your belly we tend to not do it on a regular basis. Dr. Pearson tells us about a study that was done on babies and posture that actually explains the way we breathe. Learn how to do a 90-90 poise so you can learn to breathe correctly. Dr. Pearson tells us about someone with acute neck pain that was doing a lot of chest breathing. We learn about another person with lumbar and leg pains who is also a chest breather. Once Dr. Pearson got him in the 90-90 poise she notices that he had no belly breathing at all. Once you learn how to breathe properly you tend to not have as much pain. The breathing exercise can also help with anxiety and stress as it helps relax your whole being. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson discusses one of the physical features you can control. Not only will you feel a sense of power, but you will ensure you are doing the best job possible to age well. She discovered something new this week for herself that reduced some physical stress. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Even Dr. Pearson learns new things. It's important to be in charge of things you can be in charge of. Don't try to change the things you cannot change. One main thing we are in charge of is our posture. It's important to pay attention to your body language. Be centered and lead from your heart. Imagine a string running from the top of your head up to the heavens and it's slightly pulling your head up. Stand with your hips over your feet, your shoulders over your hips, and your head being pulled up. Lead your direction with your heart. Really be aware of your posture.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about what to do when you have pain that lasts for more than a week? What might be the challenge? What might you do? She provides some clues as to the type of pain and might respond to certain types of care accordingly. She also spends some time on what is the best way to manage your doctor visit in relationship to your body pain. We all deserve to know what the provider suspects to be the problem. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… What kind of pain do you have? Who is the best person to talk to about your pain? Do you have joint pain? What if you just have stiffness? There are times when muscles will go offline, but there are different methods you can take to correct it. Food can also sometimes be a cause of pain. Your reaction to stress can cause so many problems. There are a lot of things online that can help for free. Make sure that your provider listens to your full story before diagnosing you. After telling your full story it is okay to ask if they might know what is wrong. It is also okay if they don't know. If you get a referral to see someone else it's very important that you make sure they are communicating with your main doctor. Be transparent. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

“You are worthy simply because you exist.” - tune in to find out how a simple mindset shift like this one can help turn your life around!    Episode Introduction:  From being homeless as a child to making it as a multiple six-figure entrepreneur, our guest today is truly a testament to what sheer determination can do for a person.   Episode Summary:  Dr. Naieema Jackson walks us through her journey of consistently wanting to prove her self-worth to others until the age of 31 to then acknowledging her own self-worth and doing what made her happy. She talks about her challenges, the lessons she has learned, her victories, some jaw-dropping anecdotes as well as how she helps other female entrepreneurs succeed in their business with her strategies.    Main Takeaways: What you are experiencing doesn't define you. Sometimes, even when you're not ready, you need to take just the first step towards your goals. When people are speaking with hatred, it's about their own inner demons and not the person they are talking to. When you start questioning your self-worth, focus on the evidence of everything that you have accomplished in life. It is important to remind yourself that you are worthy regardless of what you achieve simply because you are a person. Be mindful of what the people around you are telling you about your self worth. First focus on what you want your life to look like and then align your business goals to that vision.   Fun Facts About Dr. Naieema Jackson: One book that she recommends all our listeners is The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks.   Help us mentor other entrepreneurs through the power of storytelling by rating us and leaving a positive review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-chat-with-girija/id1528580730   Get the FREE Five Day Legal Audit: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/5-day-free-legal-audit-challenge/   Join Law Chat for Entrepreneurs Free Facebook Community: ​​https://www.facebook.com/groups/lawchat   Find Dr. Naieema Jackson: Website: https://thedeterminedfempreneur.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drnaieema/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ditchthatshift Podcast: https://thedeterminedfempreneur.com/podcast YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjSyLRVUg228xMcFuzLIVxQ?view_as=subscriber Get the visual experience, watch the videocast for the episode here: https://youtu.be/ufUxZmzFfNI   Connect With Girija: Website: https://www.gbplaw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbplaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GBPLaw/   Get Ready To Use Contract Templates At: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson describes an amazing experience in her civility workshop, where two women who were on the opposite side of the table, told their stories of how their belief systems came to be. The kindness, respect, and compassion for each other at the end of the course was nothing more than magical. She will be telling you more about how to sign up for one of these great workshops in the future. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson is doing the workshops in person for the time being but will be doing them on zoom in the near future. If your heart and mindset aren't in the right place it is harder to heal. Learn how to fully authentically listen to people. Learn how to let things go even if you don't believe it or feel the same way. Learn how to authentically interview someone with a different perspective. Dr. Pearson talks about one of the one-on-one conversations in the workshop. The experiences of COVID helped one lady see that some people might be influenced by dark or evil forces and turn back to God to seek understanding. The other lady had the complete opposite view on the topic, but still listened and didn't judge or interrupt. Then she was able to tell her side without judgment or interruption. By the end, both ladies had tears in their eyes and they hugged each other. They didn't agree with each other, but they respected each other which is the whole point of the workshop. Dr. Pearson has decided to write a second book based on the stories from her workshop and she will still share some of the stories here on the podcast. Seek to understand others, but be respectful of their thoughts and never try to change someone else. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson discusses two case studies and illustrates how important our mindset is related to what we think our body can do, cannot do, what we think it needs or what we are unwilling to do! ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Everyone has a back story. A Younger gentleman in his late thirty's is our first case study. He was raised to believe that you just buck up and let the body do what it can or wants to do and you just move on. He didn't believe in stretches. Dr. Pearson got him to do 10 hinges twice a day for two weeks. If you feel like something is a waste of time, maybe try asking how long it would take before you start noticing a difference and you might not find it a waste of time anymore. The second case study is a retired gentleman who is always on the go. He suffered from back pains and learned how to live with them. After being told by many massage therapists that he was so stiff he started to believe that was just how he was. He would do every stretch that was suggested to him. He had a great range of motion. Dr. Pearson had him do a sit and decompress device (that you can look up online) They weren't making a lot of progress and it was causing a lot of frustration. They switched to a rotational stretch and it seemed to help. Sometimes slowing down stretches is what is really needed. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

Key Takeaways: A little bit about Dr. Kathryn and why she's on a mission to make life fun! If we tap into love, that's really where we can embrace our full energy. The more fun Dr. Kathryn brought into her work, the more successful it was. Not sure how to have fun? Look to children for inspiration! Dr. Kathryn was working very closely with food pantries and noticed so many people in the community did not know how to cook with fresh produce. By getting the children involved and making it fun for them, the whole thing sparked a big change in the community. Dr. Kathryn talks about working with schools to make school lunches healthier and some of the challenges she faced with that. What is epigenetics? And how do you make it fun? What really affects the expression of your genes? The good news is that you can modify your genes! Yes. It is possible! When you give children, people, whoever, a choice, you make them feel empowered. When you tell someone “not” to eat something, you force them into a box. You can make conscious and healthy choices every day about your body. For those who are more likely to be depressed or have a cognitive decline, what can they do to live a younger life? Genetic testing has opened up a world of possibilities, but with that can come a lot of confusion. People think taking supplements has a one-size-fits-all approach. Nope! This is why it's important to get accurate genetic testing. Dr. Kathryn shares a couple of examples of how you can make life fun… forever! We know now that customization of our health is the best way for us to combat disease and live a better life. In the '90s, people followed food fads and diets. Being in charge of your own health is easier now than ever before. Dr. Kathryn shares some mantras she loves and lives by, and how it relates to skiing! Dr. Kathryn shares some observations she sees in new skiers and the types of people who learn this challenging skill vs. those who don't.

In this week's episode, Dr. Kathryn talks about how you can make health, food, and wellness fun instead of another “chore” on your to-do list. She also shares the types of non-profit work she does and why fun and play are the keys to having more success in life.   Guest Bio: Dr. Kathryn Guylay is a heart-centered leader in business and personal development who has worked with some of the largest companies in the world in the areas of strategy and performance. She has shared her experience in boardrooms from GE and AT&T to the smallest of startups, serving as the CEO of the Ketchum Innovation Center (a business incubator in Ketchum, Idaho).   Dr. Kathryn is actively involved in her community as the Founding (and still acting) Executive Director of the nonprofit organization Nurture and serves on several other boards including Fast & Female (Olympic athletes supporting girls in sports), and the Academy of Sleep and Wellness.   Resources for a Younger Lifestyle: Dr. Robyn Benson's Free Youthful Aging eGuide FREE GIFT: Robynbenson.com/gift Connect with Dr. Kathryn: Makeeverythingfun.com The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention, by Dawson Church Apeiron.store/products/apeiron-genetic-test-kit   Quotes:   “Life is hard enough. Let's bring some in as fuel that allows us to get through those challenging moments in life.”   “I'm never someone who says you can't have something. I think that shuts down a kid. When they have a choice, they feel empowered. For the rest of their life, they can continue to make choices based on education and information.”   “It's not about saying yes/no/must do. It's all about education, inspiration, and choice.”

Key Takeaways: There's an epic rate of divorces going on. People used to go to a coach or counseling when something was wrong or broken. However, there is a shift. People are seeking additional help not because things are wrong, they just want it to be better. How do we build an intense connection with our partners? Dr. Christy explains what she means when sometimes life is like ‘pee in the bathwater.' No matter what you do, if there's pee in the bathwater, pouring more water on it will not make the problem better. If you're upset with your partner, try to be at a 4‒6 scale when you begin to communicate. That's the most effective place to be. Here's a fun exercise for couples to do: Pretend to be a child for just a moment and go out and play. Remember to always go back to the “we” above all else. We are in this together. The fights are meant to move us forward. No matter what the relationship is, you have to work on it. If you're having a really bad fight, go take off your shoes and go stand in the grass. What do you do if one person is more dominant in the relationship? As people, we don't always know what we want. Dr. Christy helps couples articulate some of their deep desires and core feelings. It's amazing what happens when you write down what it is that you want! Sometimes we look for all the reasons why we can't, but what happens if we can? Remember, we deserve more. We deserve more out of life. Your relationship really can go from good to great. Dr. Christy has a free quiz for you! She also has a self-paced course for couples. What are some of the destructive behaviors we take on that end up breaking our relationships down? Don't be afraid to get the support you need. Don't wait till it's too late and you're fighting!   Episode Summary: Dr. Christy Wise is a transformational coach that helps couples find deeper connection with their partner. With the divorce rate being so high, Dr. Christy is needed more than ever to help keep our egos in check, to refocus the conversation from what's best for “me” to what's best for “we.” Find out more on this week's episode!   Guest Bio: Dr. Christy Wise has conducted over 20 years of breakthrough transformational counseling.

And our need to be right, the need to be seen, and the need to be heard, can have us revert back to infantile ways.”   “Fights are meant to move us forward. Just like exercising muscles, you've got to have a breakdown if you're going to break through.”  

Key Takeaways: Hormones really can derail our entire body. What's going on? A little bit about Dr. Kyrin. The mid-life weight challenges are a communication problem. Dr. Kyrin was 47 years old and had gained so much weight that she weighed 243lb.  Dr. Kyrin was falling apart, but what really bothered her the most was the weight. Everyone could see that. All of Dr. Kyrin's tests were coming back normal. This didn't make any sense! Dr. Kyrin was counting her calories, she was doing everything she was supposed to! Her doctor had enough with her excuses. A patient of hers, another woman experiencing the midlife blues, came back a year later a completely different woman. Through her, Dr. Kyrin found out she got her hormones tested. Dr. Kyrin read the book her patient was reading. At first, she was skeptical and didn't even want to read it, but when she learned about functional medicine, she had a big aha moment. After reading this book, Dr. Kyrin finally had hope. If you're having a hormone problem, that means the body is sending the wrong communication signals. No amount of counting calories will help you! Weight and energy levels go hand in hand. What tests should you be doing? People think having a healthy juice or smoothie is good for you. It is, but it depends on what you put in it. Some smoothie places put more sugar into it than what's in a soft drink. If you don't have key hormones in your body, your risk of dementia goes up! Along with many other diseases! Dr. Kyrin shares how she uses a functional approach in her practice. Everyone wants a solution, but mainstream doctors are just going to prescribe you medicine that will shut down your immune system. Get your hormones rechecked once a year. Be the CEO of your health because no one else can do it for you. Dr. Kyrin is so passionate about working with women because she has seen that if you help one woman, she helps her entire community.   Episode Summary: Dr. Kyrin Dunston couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She thought feeling this way was “normal.” Even her doctors thought she was just making excuses for being overweight. Turns out, no, she was just doing the wrong tests. If you're a woman in her late 40s, this episode is for you! You need to go beyond the regular tests to really discover what's going on underneath the hood. You might find that your hormones are sending a completely wrong message to your body!   Guest Bio: With a successful career in the medical field, from the outside, Dr. Kyrin Dunston looked like she had it all. But on the inside, she was dying. Any spare hour she had was spent sleeping. She was tired, overweight, and her hair was falling out. She was depressed, anxious, and lacked self-confidence. She had stomach issues and low libido, and no matter what she did, all her tests came back “normal.” What was going on? Through functional medicine, Dr. Kyrin was able to regain her life back, bit by bit, and now applies the same principles to help her mid-life clients.   Resources for a Younger Lifestyle: Dr. Robyn Benson's Free Youthful Aging eGuide FREE GIFT: Robynbenson.com/gift Connect with Dr. Kyrin: Kyrindunstonmd.com/   Quotes:   “I said I'm not reading this book! I'm a board-certified OB-GYN, what is this author going to teach me? I had this arrogance, what I call contempt, prior to investigation.”   “We all have this ‘truth leader.' I read this book about functional medicine and I knew it was the truth. How am I an OB-GYN and never even heard about this?”   “Truth is, most doctors in America do the wrong tests and they read them for what's ‘normal' which is different from what's ‘optimal.'”

Since the completion of her medical training and residency at Saint Louis University Hospital (2001 - 2008), and subsequent Specialty Fellowship at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic Foundation Hospital, her practice has been devoted exclusively to top-tier Pain Management.    It was in 2011, at only 32 years old, when she herself was taken entirely out of physical commission by an injury resulting in the rupture of two lower back discs. The journey back to a state of strength and physical predictability was arduous, but it imparted the blessing of an entirely new level of commitment and compassion for the patients who trust her with their care for pain in all it's places and forms.   Resources for a Younger Lifestyle: Dr. Robyn Benson's Free Youthful Aging eGuide FREE GIFT: Robynbenson.com/gift Connect with Dr. Kaylea: Katalystmd.com   Quotes:   “A man with his health has a million dreams. A man without his health has but one.”   “Pain doesn't have to be a way of life as you age.”   “Surround yourself with people who want the same thing as you.”

Key Takeaways: How did Dr. Anna get started in hormone healing? Dr. Anna saw firsthand how women have suffered by clinical trials that were originally designed for men.  What is the Keto-Green 16 diet? “Your dad is 79, he's lived a good life.” And? He still has more life to live.  Don't let anyone give up on you and your health.  Dr. Anna was 48 years old when she transitioned into her next stage of life. She found herself gaining weight almost overnight.  Diets fail because it's not just about what you eat, but when, how, and how stressed you are.  Dr. Anna dug into the research behind keto because she wanted to know why keto was working so well for her.

What's the solution? Try a new diet for 7 days, or even 30 days if you can. Just to show your body what's possible.  Dr. Anna has had men get off their blood pressure medicine in 16 days.  We're all here to enjoy this life, so let's live it to the fullest by taking care of our bodies.
