EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode of Light Up Your Metabolism, Danielle Hamilton explores how sunlight is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools for improving metabolic health, balancing blood sugar, supporting hormone function, and healing from conditions like PCOS. Sharing her personal story of reintroducing carbohydrates without negative symptoms, Danielle explains how different types of light (infrared, UVA, UVB, and visible light) impact mitochondrial function, circadian rhythm, hormone signaling, and overall energy production. This episode reframes sunlight as an essential part of metabolic healing, not something to be feared or avoided.TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODEWhy early morning infrared light is essential for supporting mitochondrial function, blood sugar regulation, and melatonin productionHow UVA light plays a critical role in regulating leptin sensitivity, appetite, thyroid function, and moodWhy relying on short midday sun exposure or only catching sunrise light is not enough to support metabolic healthThe distinct role of UVB light in vitamin D synthesis and why supplements cannot replicate its full benefitsHow light therapy and consistent sun exposure improved Danielle's eyesight, dry eyes, and night vision post-LASIKThe science of structured water, redox signaling, and melanin as biological energy sources influenced by lightHow sunscreen use may interfere with vitamin D production and how to build solar resilience safely based on skin typeHow to tailor light exposure by skin tone and geographic location, using the Fitzpatrick scale and the MyCircadian appDanielle's personal experience of resolving chronic constipation and improving fasting blood sugar through strategic light exposureIntroduction to SunSense UV Bead Bracelets as a practical tool to monitor real-time UV exposure and support safe sun practicesLINKS AND OFFERSEnroll now in Get that D!

Plus, we touch on the impact of AI search and how clinics can stay ahead without getting overwhelmed by all the techy stuff.Key Takeaways✨ If you can't measure it, you can't manage it – attribution is everything✨ Transparency and trust are non-negotiable when working with agencies✨ Brand building and collecting reviews are the new superpowers for clinics✨ Focus on location and name when starting out – they make a huge difference✨ Don't get lost in the tech – get your fundamentals right and growth will follow✨ Compounding good decisions over time creates a real growth machineResources & Links

"Setting personal goals, both in training and in life, fuels growth and resilience."Episode SummaryIn this episode, I was joined in the studio by Rachel Maloney from Night Fision and Glow Rhino, filling in for Big Keith, who was on vacation. We kicked things off with some fun banter about keeping up with our kids and how humbling it is to realize the next generation can run circles around us at the gym or pool.We covered a lot of ground, starting with current happenings in the firearms industry, like the overwhelming topic of the SIG P320 and ongoing debates about product safety and consumer trust. Rachel shared her unique perspective on firearms training, emphasizing the importance of mental “software” over chasing hardware benchmarks.On the news front, we dived into California's ammo background check ruling, reflected on the impact of suppressor tax changes, and how new state laws keep making life challenging for responsible gun owners—especially in states like NY and CA. Rachel also gave us a deep dive on Night Fision's new optic plate and sight system, breaking down how they're simplifying the “co-witness” confusion for everyday defensive shooters.For Top Gear, I reviewed the Q Sling from Flatline Fiber Co., and Rachel did a brilliant hands-on walkthrough of the new Night Fision optic plates. We laughed over a unique gin and tonic from my local farm stand, and wrapped up the show highlighting “good guy with a gun” stories, plus off-topic news like the return of the flip phone summer.Call to Action1.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Georgie Kovacs, founder of Fempower Health, unpacks the recent FDA hearing on SSRI use during pregnancy—an emotionally charged and complex conversation that brought together OB-GYNs, psychiatrists, pharmacologists, and advocates.Drawing on over 25 years in healthcare consulting and six years interviewing global women's health leaders, Georgie offers a balanced, deeply informed analysis of the real conversation that took place—beyond the headlines and controversy.This wasn't just a debate about antidepressants in pregnancy. It was a wider reckoning with how we define mental health, how we treat it, and the pressures facing clinicians and patients in a fragmented system. From risk-benefit tradeoffs and informed consent to how “depression” is diagnosed and operationalized, this episode explores what was said, what was missing, and what we need next.Whether you're a woman seeking clarity or a clinician striving to provide the best care, this episode breaks it all down.Discussion Points What actually happened at the FDA panel on SSRIs and pregnancy?Are SSRIs overprescribed—or unfairly stigmatized—during pregnancy?Is "depression" too broad of a diagnosis?How do mental health diagnoses affect treatment decisions for pregnant women?Why is informed consent inconsistent in SSRI prescribing?What are the long-term risks of untreated maternal depression?Are OB-GYNs expected to manage too much—including mental health?How does limited access to psychiatrists shape treatment options?What does better mental healthcare look like during pregnancy?Should we rethink how we integrate psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle care?Expert Backgrounds MentionedOB-GYNs treating pregnant patients on SSRIsPsychiatrists both prescribing and deprescribing antidepressantsAcademic researchers investigating serotonin's effects on fetal developmentAdvocacy leaders spotlighting systemic barriers to mental health careResourcesFDA Hearing: https://www.fda.gov/patients/fda-expert-panels/fda-expert-panel-selective-serotonin-reuptake-inhibitors-ssris-and-pregnancy-07212025ACOG Response to FDA Hearing: https://www.acog.org/news/news-releases/2025/07/statement-on-benefit-of-access-to-ssris-during-pregnancySociety for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) Statement https://www.smfm.org/news/smfm-statement-on-ssris-and-pregnancyRegulatory Focus Responds: https://www.raps.org/news-and-articles/news-articles/2025/7/fda-panel-debates-label-change-on-ssri-use-duringSTAT News Responds: https://www.statnews.com/2025/07/25/ssri-drugs-fda-review-panel-antidepressants-pregnancy/National Curriculum in Reproductive Psychiatry (NCRP) Responds: https://ncrptraining.org/press-release-ncrp-responds-to-fda-panel-on-ssri-use-in-pregnancy/

Episode SummaryIn this poignant episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine welcomes Milad, lead pastor at Hope Evangelical Church in Southern Lebanon and field manager for Heaert For Lebanon's Ministry Center. They delve into the lives of two often-overlooked and marginalized groups in Lebanon: the Bedouins and the Gypsies (Dom and Raja).Milad, who has worked with these communities for years, sheds light on their distinct cultures, histories, and the severe challenges they face, including deep-seated societal discrimination, poverty, and lack of access to essential services like education and healthcare. The conversation highlights the heartbreaking realities these communities endure, such as forced temporary housing, children leaving school early, and limited employment opportunities.Despite the immense difficulties, Heart For Lebanon is actively working to bring hope and transformation. Milad shares how the organization offers educational opportunities through their Hope Center, provides mobile learning experiences with the "Hope on Wheels" truck, distributes essential relief packages, and conducts awareness workshops on legal rights, health, and dignity.A powerful testament to their work is the story of Hassan, a Dom community member who, despite lacking official documents and facing severe discrimination, found employment, education, and spiritual transformation through Heart For Lebanon, eventually getting baptized and becoming a beloved staff member. The episode underscores Heart For Lebanon's commitment to making disciples and extending Christ's love to all, regardless of societal standing, and invites listeners to support their mission through prayer and investment.Show NotesUnderstanding the BedouinsIdentity: Nomadic, desert-dwelling Arab groups known for loyalty, welcoming guests, and oral storytelling traditions.Origin & Lifestyle: Historically from the Arabian Peninsula and Syrian Desert, they followed cattle for grazing. Many now live in valleys or city edges in Lebanon while maintaining their way of life.Economic Activities: Traditionally raised animals and traded along routes. Today, many engage in seasonal work like olive picking due to changing circumstances.Challenges: Difficulty accessing official services like healthcare and education. Face significant societal discrimination, making it hard for Bedouin men to marry Lebanese locals.

Approximately 8,000 live in Lebanon.Language & Religion: Speak Bari and Arabic; most are of Sunni Muslim background.History & Culture: Arrived in Lebanon centuries ago from South Asia via the Middle East and North Africa. Known for rich musical traditions, crafts, and storytelling. Traditionally performed at celebrations, did seasonal jobs, or made metal goods.Economic Activities & Stigma: Often associated with begging, sex trafficking, and illicit trade. Face severe societal distrust and are rarely hired by Lebanese locals. Girls are sometimes sent to work as dancers in other countries.Challenges: Face extreme social exclusion, low school attendance (even in private schools), poverty, and bias in services. Often forced to live in temporary housing on government or municipal land.Heart For Lebanon's Response and ImpactDignity and Love: Heart For Lebanon treats members of both communities with dignity and Christ-like love.Education: Offers education at their Hope Center, teaching reading, writing, math, and science, along with kindness and respect.

Episode SummaryIn this powerful, emotionally resonant episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra sits down with one of the world's most respected thought leaders on human-centered performance: Ryan Estis.Ryan isn't just a keynote speaker or former Fortune 500 Chief Revenue Officer. He's a guide for leaders navigating complexity, a man who's lived the tension between growth and burnout, performance and peace, ambition and alignment. Through stories both deeply personal and professionally profound, Ryan takes us behind the curtain of a life built on momentum through harmony—and how choosing wellness, wisdom, and worth have shaped his impact. From founding ImpactEleven (which achieved a 500% growth rate, 1300% increase in shareholder value, and 90% client retention in just two years), to standing ovations across global stages, Ryan's track record is undeniable. But what makes this episode different is what's unsaid—the inner work of reclaiming health, reconnecting to truth, and redefining success not by how far we go, but by how deeply we live. Together, Chris and Ryan explore: the meaning of legacy and how wisdom passed down from a father becomes a compass,the role of weak ties and long-held partnerships like Lynn in a world obsessed with speed,the power of surrender and how BDSM culture taught Chris to drop into presence and care,and the hard-earned truth that we must unlearn external validation to live our truth.This episode is part mentorship session, part love letter to resilience, and part rallying cry for those who feel like they're achieving outwardly, yet quietly burning out inside.10 Memorable Quotes“Success without fulfillment and feeling good is failure.” – Ryan Estis“You have to borrow someone else's belief in you until your own catches up.” –Ryan Estis“Don't wreck the product. You're the product.” – Ryan Estis“Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical.” – Words of Wisdom from Ryan's father“To connect in service, you must first live from your center.” – Ryan Estis“Gratitude isn't just for the good times. It's best practiced through the hard times.”– Chris Schembra“The world will define you—if you let it.” – Ryan Estis“Every person has the wisdom they need. It was put there for them.” – Ryan Estis“Live your truth. It's the kindest thing you can do for yourself—and for others.” – Ryan Estis“You're not the first person with a message on their heart who's blown the moment.” – Adam “Smiley” Poswolsky, as quoted by Chris10 Key Takeaways1. The Journey Isn't Linear—But It's Worth It.Chris's lowest speaking moment led him directly to Ryan, proof that our darkest hours often plant the seeds of the brightest chapters.2. Don't Just Grow Fast. Grow From Your Center.Ryan's success wasn't a straight hustle; it required slowing down, getting healthy, and aligning with values like momentum through harmony.3. Your Legacy May Live in a Wooden Box.A literal box of quotes from Ryan's dad revealed the timeless wisdom that now shapes how he leads, speaks, and lives. These quotes became mantras.4. The Quiet People Beside You Are Often the Most Powerful.Ryan's long-standing partnership with Lynn, his business manager since his first job out of college, is a testament to loyalty, presence, and consistency.5. Define Success On Your Terms—Then Redefine It Again.Whether it's writing a book with his brother or shifting his health trajectory, Ryan models how to evolve your definition of winning.6. Unlearning Is Just As Important As Learning.Ryan had to unlearn the compulsion to respond to every piece of feedback and external pressure. His current work is about choosing inner authority.7. Your Best Work Comes From Alignment.From Ryan's gesture of heart → head → hands, we learn that when your beliefs, mindset, and actions align, magic happens.8. Weak Ties Are Stronger Than You Think.Inspired by Granovetter's 1973 study, the episode celebrates the strength of those people we see occasionally but who shape us profoundly.9. There's Power in Personal Rituals.Whether it's opening the wisdom box or walking back through difficult memories, grounding rituals help us stay human in a fast-paced world.10. Human Be-ing > Human Doing.Ryan and Chris both remind us: Your presence is your power. Stop outsourcing your identity. Show up fully.

We've all heard the phrase ‘the show must go on'.  But when shouldn't the show go on?  To help me answer that, I'm speaking to someone who has spent 35 years managing some of Australia's most iconic large-scale events — from Taylor Swift concerts to public city spectacles with crowds over 200,000, and corporate experiences — and has often faced the question: when should the show really stop?My guest is Iain Morrison, wh,o as well as having a background in events, is now the CEO of a startup that builds hyper‑accurate 3D and VR plans for event venues.Episode SummaryIn this episode, I dig into what happens when the entertainment world's credo — “the show must go on” — becomes a liability, and what it feels like backstage to carry that kind of responsibility. Iain explains the importance of having show‑stop protocols long before trouble arrives — whether it's crowd crush, heart attacks in the crowd, or approaching severe weather. He explains how event organisers need to make decisions in advance so that nobody freezes under pressure, and ensure everyone is aligned on who can stop the show, and how and when to restart it. We also delve into the emotional toll of the event industry — the brutal hours, constant touring, adrenaline highs, and the realities of burnout. Ian talks candidly about putting people at risk by cutting critical breaks and how easily event teams can burn out. Finally, he walks me through his pivot: building a tech startup that uses 3D planning and virtual models to give event teams a fully visual planning tool — reducing surprises, improving safety, and supporting better decisions from the very first draft. GUEST BIOGRAPHYIain is an event manager with over three decades of experience in running major concerts, festivals, and public spectacles across Australia. He has helped deliver live shows for acts like Taylor Swift, U2, Foo Fighters, major public events on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Domain Concert series, with crowds ranging from 5,000 to over 200,000. From high school theatre beginnings to early work at Opera Australia and the Sydney Opera House, Ian transitioned into corporate events, the Olympics, and large public outdoor events. He has worked in high-pressure environments where crowd safety, terrorism threats, public order, and weather call-offs were part of the job on a daily basis. About two years ago, he moved from event delivery to event technology — as CEO and co‑founder of The Imagination Collaborative, Ian now leads a startup building hyper‑accurate 3D and VR planning tools. These digital twins help event teams visualise venue layouts, crowd flows, sightlines, signage, camera positions, evacuation routes and more—before anything is built on site.AI-GENERATED TIMESTAMPED SUMMARY[00:00:00] Introduction[00:02:00] Ian's backstory: school theatre → university → Opera House → major events[00:05:00] Scale of events: from 5,000 attendees to crowds of over 200,000[00:08:00] Types of risk at live events: crowd crush, terrorism threats, medical events[00:12:00] Why events remain largely unregulated worldwide[00:15:00] Concept of a “show stop”: planning for what enables safe cancellation or pause[00:20:00] Decision‑making under stress: protocols versus ego-based pressure[00:25:00] Real scenarios: thunderstorms, crowd reaction, and restart challenges[00:28:00] Emotional cost on crews: burnout, long hours, compressed touring schedules[00:32:00] Industry taboo around mental health and burnout; making it safer for staff[00:36:00] Ian's use of social media to spark conversations on stress, safety and standards[00:40:00] Introduction to Ian's startup: detailed planning with 3D environments and VR[00:44:00] How the tool works: drone scans, venue models, client interaction in virtual space[00:48:00] Benefits: fewer surprises, better sightlines, optimised signage, cost savings[00:51:00] Future plans: integrating crowd simulation, digital twin models, global expansion[00:55:00] Final reflections: the trade‑offs of delivering magic vs ensuring safety[00:57:00] Wrap‑upLINKS Iain on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/iainmorrison1/Iain's website - https://iainmorrison.global/ Iain's startup, The Imagination Collaborative - https://www.theimaginationcollaborative.com/

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode of “No-Nonsense Old-School Weightlifting History,” we'll explore how weightlifting in the 1980s differed from today. We'll compare gear and equipment like weightlifting shoes, belts, and singlets. We'll also cover how the Soviets dominated weightlifting in the 1970s and how the Bulgarians overcame them in the 1980s. Additionally, we'll discuss how the Cold War and politics affected the Olympics in 1980 and 1984, and how the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 greatly impacted the sport of weightlifting. We'll examine how training methods and techniques have evolved over the years, along with many other topics.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUNDHost Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area. He relives great moments from this time and beyond, focusing on football, baseball, basketball, and boxing. You may even see a little Olympic Weightlifting in the mix, as Mark competed for eight years.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody welcomes Preet Sibia to discuss the evolution of go-to-market strategies from a transactional, product-first approach to a deeply customer-centric model. Preet shares candid insights from his decades of experience in semiconductors and reveals the operational, cultural, and structural shifts required to make customer orientation a reality.From building clear sales processes and empowering account managers to mastering alignment across teams and driving change management, Preet offers a detailed blueprint for organizations ready to elevate their customer relationships. He also emphasizes how investing in the right talent and metrics creates sustained impact across retention and growth.Key TakeawaysFrom Transaction to TransformationSticking to a product-oriented model may yield short-term success, but long-term growth demands a strategic shift to understanding and solving customer pain points. Customer-centricity transforms vendors into co-investors in client success.Simplify the Customer InterfaceMultiple siloed product teams can overwhelm customers. Empowering a single account owner (the “quarterback”) to guide the engagement improves clarity, builds trust, and deepens relationships.Operational Shifts are Non-NegotiableSuccessful transformations require a standardized sales process, clear role definitions, and well-trained application engineers and marketers who focus on customer needs, not just product features.Retention > AcquisitionBy understanding strategic roadmaps and elevating customer conversations beyond transactional buying, businesses can position themselves as indispensable partners, boosting long-term retention.Change Management Must Be IntentionalCommunicate relentlessly. Involve key leaders in shaping the change. Focus energy on those committed to the new vision, rather than spending time converting detractors.Measure What MattersBeyond product sales, leading indicators include customer satisfaction surveys, direct feedback, and clarity in account ownership.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody sits down with Mark Boothe to explore how AI agents are reshaping the future of marketing. Mark brings candid insights from his tenure at Domo, diving into the transformative potential of agentic workflows, the necessity of AI readiness, and how marketers can navigate both disruption and opportunity.Mark shares practical advice on leveraging agents as "tireless teammates" for joyless, repetitive tasks, enhancing competitive intelligence, scaling content creation, and making smarter, faster decisions across go-to-market functions. He also reflects on challenges CMOs face today—from attribution complexity to shifting SEO dynamics—and explains why waiting to adopt AI is the riskiest move of all.This conversation is a must-listen for B2B marketers, CMOs, and business leaders looking to scale with purpose and intelligence in the age of autonomous agents.Key TakeawaysAI Agents Are Here—and You're Already Late  Mark emphasizes that CMOs can no longer afford to delay AI adoption. Organizations that do not actively experiment with agents risk falling irreparably behind in terms of go-to-market maturity and innovation.Tireless Teammates, Not Job Takers  AI agents are best positioned to automate the joyless, manual tasks humans hate. With proper training and data, they can deliver superhuman memory, adaptability, and task execution across industries.Data Readiness Is Make or Break  The phrase "garbage in, garbage out" rings true—Mark stresses that AI without structured, contextualized, and governed data is not just ineffective, but dangerous.Align AI with Enterprise Goals  AI efforts must be anchored in clear business priorities, not shiny objects. Mark warns against focusing solely on vanity metrics and stresses the importance of tying every initiative back to pipeline, revenue, and customer value.Don't Just Automate—Adapt  Traditional automation is static. AI agents enable adaptability—responding to market shifts, customer signals, and business changes in real-time with minimal human input.Quotes“AI agents should make you way smarter, faster, and more adaptable—if you're aligned with the right goals.”Resource recommendations⁠Jasper⁠ – For scalable content generation.⁠Domo⁠ – For real-time marketing analytics and agent orchestration.Resource recommendationsBooks:⁠How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie⁠ – Timeless lessons in people-first leadership.⁠Dare to Lead by Brené Brown⁠ – Currently being read by Mark's team book club for fostering courageous leadership.⁠Patrick Lencioni's books⁠ – Especially on team dynamics and healthy conflict.B2B Leaders to follow⁠Denise Persson⁠, CMO of Snowflake, for leading high-impact B2B marketing.About the GuestMark brings over 15 years of diverse marketing experience and is passionate about driving Domo's business growth through marketing initiatives.

Episode SummaryIn a galaxy flooded with content, storytelling is no longer a skill—it's the rebellion.In this milestone 50th episode, Nish and David Granger frame the conversation through the lens of the original Star Wars trilogy—exploring how brands moved from story-rich origins (A New Hope), through algorithmic obedience and commoditization (The Empire Strikes Back), to a moment of reckoning (Return of the Jedi).They dive into why storytelling is the last true differentiator in an AI-driven landscape, how CMOs became “chief algorithm officers,” and why creative ops leaders must become the Rebel Alliance—fighting not just for brand expression, but for brand soul.This episode isn't just about marketing—it's about what you choose to stand for. Key TakeawaysStorytelling isn't decoration—it's differentiation. It's not the packaging. It's the product.Creative commoditization is real—and the Death Star is already fully operational. The question is whether you fight it.The most courageous brands aren't chasing trends—they're building lore.Algorithms reward noise. Storytelling builds meaning. One optimizes for today. The other creates forever fans.Red Bull didn't just sponsor sports. It built a media empire. It didn't buy attention—it earned identity.

Sugar addiction is a legitimate biochemical addiction that affects about one-third of the population, is often rooted in childhood emotional self-soothing behaviors, and can be more challenging to overcome than alcohol or drug addiction because it's socially acceptable and starts at a very young age.KISMETWhen individuals successfully overcome sugar addiction, their most valued improvement isn't weight loss but rather enhanced cognitive function - including better focus, improved memory, and reduced anxiety - as their "brain comes back online" after healing from the neurological impacts of chronic sugar consumption.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Mike Collins, known as "The Sugar Free Man," about the reality of sugar addiction and its impacts on metabolic and mental health. Collins explains how sugar addiction often begins in childhood as a form of emotional self-soothing that becomes wired into the brain's reward system. He reveals that about one-third of people are biochemically addicted to sugar, setting up cravings they cannot control through willpower alone. Collins shares that many recovering alcoholics and drug addicts report quitting sugar is actually harder than overcoming their primary addiction. The podcast explores the physical and psychological aspects of sugar addiction, including how abstinence for 90 days can allow the brain to heal and create new neural pathways. Collins also discusses how artificial sweeteners keep sugar cravings alive by maintaining the sweet taste sensation. The conversation highlights how sugar addiction recovery involves addressing emotional triggers and finding healthier self-soothing mechanisms beyond just changing eating habits.NOTABLE QUOTE"Sugar gets no respect as an addictive substance. And, you know, it's not, I'm not doing heroin. I'm not drinking. I'm like, I know, I get it. But they just don't understand the biochemiSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly dives into one of the most challenging but common scenarios: staying committed to your goals when everyone else around you is celebrating with alcohol. As summer ramps up—bringing with it weddings, barbecues, vacations, and concerts—the social pressure to drink can feel stronger than ever.Molly explores the neuroscience behind our desire to fit in, how FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) hijacks our behavior, and why choosing intentionality over impulsivity can feel so hard—but is absolutely doable. She shares mindset tools, practical planning strategies, and science-backed techniques to help you enjoy life fully without sacrificing your peace or self-trust.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why our brains are wired for social belonging—and how that impacts drinking decisionsWhat Solomon Asch's conformity studies reveal about peer pressureHow FOMO combines scarcity and shame (and how to spot it)Ways to shift your thinking from “missing out” to “building something better”Four brain-based tools you can use to feel more confident at social eventsThe power of novelty in rewiring the brain's reward systemHow to ground yourself in the moment and align with your long-term goalsTools & Concepts Discussed:Play the Movie to the End – visualizing the real outcomes of drinking off-planIf–Then Planning – a simple framework to prepare for triggers ahead of timeDistanced Self-Talk – how using your name can help regulate your emotionsGrounding Techniques – practices to stay present and calm in the momentThe Behavior Map – Alcohol Minimalist's foundational tool for changeNovelty as a Catalyst – why small, intentional changes can shift how you feelIdentity-Based Decisions – aligning your choices with who you are becomingReferenced Think Thursday Episode:“The Brain Loves Novelty—Use It to Reinvent Summer” — a short companion episode on how newness boosts engagement, motivation, and brain health.Mentioned Resources:Drink Less Success: More Dry July – Molly's 31-day email program + live coaching Takeaway Quote:“Peace isn't about perfect behavior. It's about aligned behavior. It's about becoming someone who desires alcohol less—even when the world around you doesn't.”If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone you love. And remember: peace is the goal—not perfection.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★
