In this episode, transformation coach and author, Deekron Krikorian, MBA, shares his journey from CPA to health strategist, helping high performers master mindset, metabolism, and momentum. Author of “The Nine Shifts: The Mind First Method to Transform Your Body and Your Life”, he describes nine challenges and mind shifts to create real solutions for reclaiming control and extending your healthspan.  Episode Timeline: 0:00 – Introduction to the Podcast and 2025 Theme Dr. Gillian Lockitch sets the stage for the episode, explaining the importance of mindset in aging youthfully. The theme for 2025: “Age is Just a Number.”  1:25 – Meet Deekron Krikorian MBA: From CPA to Transformation Coach A transformation coach with certifications in functional nutrition and metabolism, Deekron empowers high achievers to reclaim energy, purpose, and consistency.  3:48 – Deekron's Story: Romanian Roots and Early Health Disciplines He shares how his father's athletic discipline and values laid the foundation for lifelong wellness and ultimately inspired his career transition.  5:49 – Redefining Success for Healthy High Performance Deekron explains that success means setting high standards and rising to meet them—and why mindset must evolve to fuel lasting fulfillment.  7:12 – From Fitness App to Transformational Coaching Learn how a tech startup focused on gym motivation evolved into a deeper coaching practice rooted in emotional and mindset transformation.  9:04 – The Power of Mindset in Midlife Reinvention Gillian and Deekron connect over their shared experiences of life transformation, discussing how mindset can shift the aging trajectory.  11:18 – Biggest Mistakes High Achievers Make About Health Deekron outlines two common traps: using achievement to prove self worth and believing there's no time for self-care. He offers simple solutions for building health into any schedule.  13:49 – The Challenge of Saying No Gillian and Deekron reflect on boundary-setting and how learning to say “no” is critical for prioritizing well-being.  15:00 – The 3x3 Assessment: Mind, Body, and Life Deekron explains his diagnostic framework of 9 challenges across mindset, metabolism, and momentum—and how clients use it to identify blocks.  17:44 – How Coaching Works: From Assessment to Shifts He walks through how he tailors coaching around specific shifts needed to overcome challenges like emotional eating or limiting beliefs.  19:18 – Deekron's Nutrition Philosophy Eat whole foods, time meals strategically, and find the right amount—not too little or too much.

Awareness and reframing are the first steps to change.  32:11 – Final Takeaway: Don't Make Good Habits Optional Deekron encourages listeners to commit to simple habits and small wins—starting is more important than being perfect.  33:47 – Where to Learn More Listeners are invited to find The Nine Shifts on Amazon or connect with Deekron on LinkedIn.

They call her The Vagina Whisperer for a reason Sara's mission is to make pelvic floor therapy as normal as going to the dentist. And after hearing her story, you'll understand why it needs to be.Let's talk about the pelvic floor the part of your body no one teaches you about, yet it's tied to nearly everything we experience as women. In this conversation with Dr. Sara Reardon, I felt like someone was finally explaining what so many of us were never taught to understand.We discuss what really happens to the pelvic floor during pregnancy and postpartum (it's not just about vaginal delivery), and how most women are sent home with little more than stool softeners and good luck. Sara shares the recovery tips every mom deserves, from managing that first postpartum poop to understanding why pelvic floor strength is essential for long term health not just for sex or leaking.We also talk about the issues that make healing harder like short postpartum visits, the myth of bouncing back, and how clenching (yes, even in traffic) is wrecking your pelvic health. We also talk on bladder habits, poop positions, why “just do Kegels” is bad advice, and what your body needs in every stage of life, from lactation to menopause.Sara's insights go beyond trendy wellness they're practical, backed by science, and grounded in almost two decades of treating real patients. This episode is packed with tools that will leave you feeling informed, validated, and ready to take action.Dr. Reardon's Bio:Dr. Sara Reardon is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals prevent and overcome pelvic floor issues including, urinary leakage, painful sex, prolapse and discomfort during pregnancy, postpartum and menopause. Sara has been featured in Time, Yahoo, Harper's Bazaar, Romper, InStyle, Today, and numerous other podcasts, publications, and professional conferences about her advocacy and educational work as a pelvic floor therapist. She is also a TED presenter on Rethinking Postpartum Care. Sara is the Founder of The V-Hive, an online, on-demand pelvic floor fitness platform for pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex and pelvic floor strengthening.

Hey Girl! You know those moments that just make life feel so full circle? Well, that's what this episode felt like when I was interviewing my special guest for the show this week! Almost 8 yrs ago, I was just like you, searching instagram and social media for “Pelvic floor Exercises”, “Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy”, “Pregnancy Safe Exercises”,  “Prenatal Pelvic Floor” and more! Coming Fresh out of Grad school, pregnant with my second baby and now aware that Pelvic Floor PT exists and that guess what… I didn't need to pee my pants the last 6 years?! So I was motivated to keep my leaking from getting worse during the pregnancy and starting diving more into Pelvic Floor Health. At the time, I knew the “What” and some of the “Why” leaking and other pelvic issues occurred and that they were not normal, but I had yet to learn the “How” to fix it.     So after searching for reliable sources on social media (yes they exist but you have to do your research), I found the one and only Vaginal Whisperer, Dr. Sara Reardon. Wearing a Vulva costume and talking about taboo topics like poop and sex, she caught my attention immediately.  I started doing some of the exercises she talked about on her page and started to really see a difference and ultimately healed all of my incontinence! She was and is, a trailblazer for Pelvic health and Women's Health in general as she continues to educate, empower and support women all over the world while breaking down cultural barriers. With that being said, I am so thrilled to have Dr. Sara Reardon on the show this week to dive more into her story and how she continues to elevate the standard of care for women in the US and inspire clinicians (like me) to do the same!    Dr. Sara Reardon is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals prevent and overcome pelvic floor issues including, urinary leakage, painful sex, prolapse and discomfort during pregnancy, postpartum and menopause.

In this episode, Dr. Mina dives into a topic many of us struggle with—figuring out what to wear and why it matters. She shares why your confidence isn't about having more clothes, but about having the right ones that truly reflect who you are. From choosing quality over quantity to aligning your look with your identity, this episode is all about using personal style as a tool to feel radiant, grounded, and more like you. So if your closet (or your beauty drawer) is draining your energy instead of fueling your confidence, it's time to reboot. Start small. Get strategic. And most importantly? Be kind to yourself. Key Takeaways: Confidence doesn't come from having more stuff, it comes from having a strategy. Your appearance isn't just aesthetic, it's energetic. Ask yourself how you want to show up in the world. What three words do you want someone to know about you just by looking at you? Capsule wardrobes are better than chaotic ones. Fit really matters in clothing. Let go of items that don't serve you anymore. Radiance is holistic and comes from within. Confidence is your best accessory. Pick one area to declutter and be strategic.   Follow Dr. Mina here:-  https://instagram.com/drminaskin https://www.facebook.com/drminaskin https://www.youtube.com/@drminaskin https://www.linkedin.com/in/drminaskin/ For more great skin care tips, subscribe to The Skin Real Podcast or visit www.theskinreal.com Baucom & Mina Derm Surgery, LLC Website- https://www.atlantadermsurgery.com/ Email - scheduling@atlantadermsurgery.com Contact - (404) 844-0496 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/baucomminamd/ If you're building a personal brand, this is for you.

Let's be honest: when it comes to pelvic floor health, most of us have been fed a steady diet of silence, shame, and “just deal with it.” But that ends today.

From postpartum issues to painful sex, pee leaks to prolapse, this is your permission slip to stop suffering in silence and start getting the care you deserve. No more brushing it off. No more white-knuckling your way through it. Just informed, empowered choices about your health and your body. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ What your pelvic floor actually is and why it matters ✅ Signs it's not functioning properly (and that you shouldn't ignore) ✅ How to advocate for yourself in a healthcare system that often overlooks women ✅ Why pain, leakage, and shame are NOT normal parts of womanhood This isn't just a health issue—it's a confidence, autonomy, and quality of life issue. Understanding your body is woman's work. Taking care of it unapologetically? Also woman's work.

I am honored to connect with Dr. Aly Cohen today. She is a board-certified rheumatologist, an integrative medicine physician, and one of the country's leading medical and legal experts in environmental health.  We began our conversation today exploring the role of federal agencies, including the EPA and FDA, in regulating environmental toxins and their impact on public safety. Dr. Cohen discusses her rheumatology training and explains how our environments affect our immune systems, clarifying why tap water is problematic, how water treatment plants fail to filter out most contaminants, and how pregnancy, childhood, teen years, perimenopause, and menopause are critical stages for toxin exposure. She reveals how many of the laws for processed foods are outdated and ineffective, and how the concept of GRAS (generally regarded as safe) has no real value, and also dives into changes in nutritional value and soil quality, how medications impact our gut microbiome and disease susceptibility, why iodine is essential for detoxifying the lymphatic and glymphatic systems, and how noise pollution affects our health.  This conversation with Dr. Aly Cohen is invaluable, and her book, resources, and works are particularly significant for this community. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How the gaps in federal protections outweigh the measures currently in place The cumulative effects of toxin exposure on the immune system, particularly for women in perimenopause and menopause Why tap water is unsafe for drinking Why reverse osmosis filtration is the best option  Why young people should learn about toxin exposure before becoming pregnant How estrogen loss during menopause impacts the immune system  The poor nutritional value of processed foods and the lack of effective regulation surrounding them How medications affect the gut microbiome and immune function The benefits of iodine for detoxification and thyroid health Why noise pollution is problematic for our mental health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Aly Cohen  On her website TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn Dr. Cohen's new book, Detoxify, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and from most local booksellers.
