What if the reason your hormones feel “off”… has nothing to do with supplements, diets, or doing more and everything to do with what you're not doing daily? In this episode, we break down the five simple but powerful habits that can dramatically improve your hormone health in as little as 90 days. These aren't trendy hacks or complicated protocols. They're foundational lifestyle shifts that most women overlook while chasing faster, flashier solutions. We dive into how your morning routine, movement, and evening habits directly influence cortisol, energy, metabolism, and overall balance. You'll learn why something as simple as morning light exposure can reset your internal clock and why daily movement doesn't have to mean intense workouts to be effective. We also unpack one of the most overlooked disruptors of hormone health: your nighttime routine. From screen exposure to late-night eating, these small habits may be quietly working against your body more than you realize. This episode challenges the idea that you need to do more and instead shows you how to do what actually matters. Because when your lifestyle supports your body, everything starts to work with you instead of against you. If you've been feeling stuck, exhausted, or like your body just isn't responding the way it should, this conversation will give you a clear, practical path forward. Start with one habit, stay consistent, and watch what changes. Because your body isn't broken. It's just waiting for the right inputs.   Time Stamps:   (3:37) Changes In Hormone Health (4:47) #1: Morning Light Exposure (9:17) #2: 20 Minutes of Daily Exercise (14:49) #3: Screens Off 60 Minutes Before Bed (16:58) #4: A Calming Wind Down Routine (20:02) #5: Eating Your Last Meal 4 Hours Before Bed --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

I had an absolute blast sitting down with today's unique guest, chatting on everything from seeking refuge, to exercise, to cancer, to cabbage (stick around to the end to get his amazing raw vegan cabbage recipe, you & your gut will thank me later). Jerzy Gregorek is a four-time World Weightlifting Champion, poet, and co-author of The Happy Body. He helps people reverse aging, regain strength, and restore flexibility through a program that blends mindful exercise, micro progression, and emotional eating intelligence. Jerzy's mission is to show that it's never too late to live a quality life, build vitality, peace of mind, and longevity. Jerzy's journey has been anything but ordinary. After falling into darkness as a teenager, he became an alcoholic from age 15 to 18. Escaping that path shaped his understanding of resilience and personal responsibility. From there, he rebuilt his life - becoming a political exile in the USA, then a world champion weightlifter, and later a mentor, poet, and PhD student. His philosophy - “Hard Choices, Easy Life; Easy Choices, Hard Life” - comes from lived experience and years of guiding people through transformation. What sets Jerzy apart is his ability to integrate physical training, creative expression, and psychological insight into a holistic approach to health and resilience. He emphasizes that emotional intelligence is a crucial element in overcoming life's adversities, and that it can be practiced, cultivated, and mastered.  His three books, titled The Happy Body: Mastering Food, Exercise, and Rest Choices, are designed to help people embrace this path of strength, wisdom, and balance. The poetry book The Happy Body: Food For Your Soul helps with emotional eating. The Happy Body Virtues: Daily Practices for the Modern Stoic helps with emotional eating and self-regulation, while I Got This: The Art of Getting Grit helps with integrating the stories that contribute to building the skill of living a good life. Jerzy has been featured on The Tim Ferriss Show, delivered a Google Talk, and spoken on numerous wellness and longevity podcasts. His work has helped thousands around the globe adopt a sustainable path to strength and wellbeing. Currently, Jerzy is pursuing a PhD in Humanistic Psychology at Saybrook University, focusing on creativity, innovation, and leadership.  Connect with Jerzy via: Email: jerzygregorek@gmail.com  Website: https://thehappybody.com/  X: https://x.com/thehappybody?lang=en  YT: https://www.youtube.com/user/thehappybody  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerzy-gregorek-ab87475/

You've been tracking your cycle, adjusting your workouts, and following the rules. Yet it still isn't working. Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD in integrative physiology, breaks down what the science actually says about cycle syncing for women over 40 and the answer might surprise you.  Could everything you've been told about training around your cycle be completely wrong? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:  • Does cycle syncing actually improve workout results for women? • Should you train harder in the follicular phase when estrogen is high? • Do women in perimenopause need different training rules? • Can you build muscle at any rep range or do you need to lift heavy? • Is fasted training bad for women's hormones and adrenal health? • Does caffeine before a fasted workout raise cortisol to dangerous levels? • How much protein do perimenopausal women actually need per day? • Is there a minimum protein threshold per meal for muscle building? • Why is belly fat harder to lose after 40 and what actually works? • Do you need zone two training for mitochondrial health in perimenopause? • Can machine weights build as much muscle as free weights? • What is the best exercise strategy for bone density in midlife women?

In this fascinating episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Dr Benjamin Levine, Director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine and a pioneering figure in the field of space cardiology. Together, they explore the remarkable cardiovascular adaptations that occur in microgravity, and what they are teaching clinicians about treating patients on Earth. Dr Levine unpacks the haemodynamic realities of spaceflight, from the counterintuitive finding that central venous pressure actually drops to zero in microgravity, to the physiologic cardiac atrophy that results when the heart no longer pumps against gravitational load. He shares how this research has transformed the understanding and treatment of POTS, reframing it not as a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, but as a consequence of reduced stroke volume - and how horizontal exercise training borrowed directly from astronaut countermeasure programmes is now changing clinical practice. The conversation also turns to the emerging cardiovascular risks of long-duration spaceflight, including earlier onset atrial fibrillation, upper body venous thrombosis, and the intracranial pressure dynamics underlying spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome. Dr Levine discusses the Astro-CHARM risk score, NASA's approach to coronary calcium screening, and the forthcoming scientific statement on cardiovascular management in tactical athletes. Questions and comments can be sent to podcast@radcliffe-group.com and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode. Host: @AnkurKalraMD and produced by: @RadcliffeCardio Parallax is Ranked in the Top 100 Health Science Podcasts (#48) by Million Podcasts.

In theory, it's simple: just exercise more to lose weight. In practice, that is rarely what we see happen. Why is that? In this episode, we discuss a new, really cool study that looked into one of the many ways our bodies adapt and react when we suddenly start burning more calories than we eat. There is more going on than us becoming more lazy the rest of the day, or simply compensating by eating more calories—and these are the kind of insights we're here for! *** Do you like what you hear so far?

Do we also receive a Neshamah Yeseirah on Yom Tov? Does it have any effect on our capacity to eat? Is there any medical or scientific basis for the claim that calories are “absorbed” by the Neshamah Yeseirah and therefore don't count on Shabbos and Yom Tov? What are some practical ways to manage our eating on Pesach while still fully enjoying the Yom Tov?

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses nutrition and menopause, defining menopause as 12 months without a period and noting it can occur naturally or due to surgery/medical procedures. She links declining estrogen to increased cardiometabolic risk, endothelial dysfunction, vascular aging, musculoskeletal pain, and higher risks with early menopause (including cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and dementia), and notes many estrogen-modulated conditions are associated with gut dysbiosis. She emphasizes lifestyle—especially nutrition—as key, highlighting anti-inflammatory, minimally processed eating and warning against ultra-processed foods, refined carbs, and excess omega-6. She cites research that high adherence to a Mediterranean diet improves markers like heart rate, lipids, triglycerides, CRP, and overall cardiometabolic risk, and mentions omega-3s lowering triglycerides while modestly raising HDL and LDL. She reviews diet approaches for hot flashes, suggests reducing caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and carbs, notes some women require (bioidentical) HRT, and describes clients improving symptoms with dietary change.

But what they don't realize is that many of these stretches put your spine into more flexion (rounding), which increases pressure on your discs and keeps your pain stuck.In reality, back pain isn't always caused by tight muscles. It's often the result of repeated stress, poor movement patterns, and lack of spinal stability.In this episode, I'll show you a completely different approach to fixing low back pain:

"I know I shouldn't, but I had a handful of almonds." Sound familiar? If you've ever felt guilty about eating nuts, this episode is for you. Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down the persistent myth that nuts are fattening, and shares the research that proves otherwise. From the Nurses' Health Study to the landmark PREDIMED trial, the science consistently shows that people who eat nuts regularly tend to weigh less over time, not more. Dr. Lisa also explains why nuts don't cause weight gain (hint: the calorie count on the label isn't the whole story), and how nuts can be part of an active weight loss plan. They also dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and stroke! Plus, practical guidance on how to incorporate nuts into your day without overthinking it. Your next best action? Go have a handful of almonds.Thanks for listening!

The blueprint for your life starts much earlier than you realise - long before you took your first breath, before your heart beat its first beat, before your mum and dad even met.  This is the story of the first 1,000 days of life. From conception to age 2, a window so powerful that scientists now believe it influences our future risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and even how our immune system reacts to the world. In this episode, the world's leading expert on how childhood nutrition and metabolism shape our long-term health, Professor Lucilla Poston, explains how early nutrition may influence appetite, metabolism, and future disease risk.  Lucilla and ZOE's Head Nutritionist, Dr Federica Amati, break down what science says about pregnancy, early feeding and the food children eat, and questions how lifelong health is shaped before a child even chooses their first meal. Lucilla offers practical guidance on what matters most and explains key nutrients to consider. They discuss why regular movement may help support healthy blood sugar levels. They also explain what a balanced diet can look like for parents and young children, why babies should try a wide range of whole foods, and why many packaged baby foods may contain far more sugar than parents expect. What small choices can you make today to help shape a healthier future for you, your children, and your children's children?

Caleb and Brittany are discussing the importance of maintaining an abundance mindset during the busy spring season. They encourages business owners to "hold the line" by refusing low-profit projects and trusting that better opportunities will arise through consistent marketing and historical data. The episode includes an AI-assisted segment that defines the difference between acting out of fear-based scarcity and strategic confidence. While Caleb emphasizes the need for disciplined pricing and personal growth, Brittany shares the emotional challenge of overcoming the worry associated with providing for a team.  Key Takeaways: Adopt an abundance mindset by trusting that the right opportunities will continue to arise if you focus on value rather than fear. Utilize historical data and management software to determine your actual costs and maintain profitable pricing. Exercise the discipline to say no to low-margin or misaligned work to leave room for higher-quality, strategic projects. Prioritize working on yourself and your internal mindset to prevent personal fears from limiting your professional and personal growth. Regularly review your project pipeline and schedule to ensure a consistent workflow through intentional management rather than reactive scrambling. Connect with Auman Landscape

#270: In this special episode, Josie guides listeners through one of the most powerful exercises she's used in her own personal growth journey: an inner child healing meditation and journaling exercise. We all carry younger versions of ourselves—the child who first felt rejected, the teenager who felt insecure, a past version of us who simply wanted to feel safe, seen, loved, or protected. Fears, triggers, insecurities, and doubts we experience today often don't come from our adult selves, but from those younger parts of us that never fully got to be heard or healed. In this episode, Josie gently guides you through a body-based meditation designed to relax the nervous system, quiet the conscious mind, and access the subconscious, and a guided journal exercise to help you reconnect with your inner child and release limiting beliefs that may still be shaping your life.You'll learn:Why we carry “inner child” wounds into adulthoodHow relaxing the body helps access the subconscious mindA guided body relaxation meditation to release limiting beliefsA powerful inner child journaling exercisePrompts to help you reconnect with younger versions of yourselfHow to make promises to your inner child that build self-trust and safetyMeditation begins around: 5:45Guided journaling begins around: 9:55For Detailed Show Notes visit theeverygirlpodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

In Recall This Book's second episode (January 2019) John and Elizabeth spoke with their brilliant Brandeis colleague, the MacArthur-winning neuroscientist Gina Turrigiano, about a number of different facets of addiction. The conversation seems as timely as ever. What makes an addiction to a morning constitutional different from–or similar to–an addiction to Fentanyl? What are the biological and social factors to consider? Should the addict be thought of in binary terms, or addiction as a state that people move into and out of? They contemplate these questions through biological, anthropological, and literary lenses, drawing on Marc Lewis, Angela Garcia, and Thomas de Quincey. Late in the episode, there's also a Sprockets joke. Then, in Recallable Books, Gina recommends David Linden's The Compass of Pleasure, Elizabeth recommends When I Wear My Alligator Boots by Shaylih Muehlmann, and John recommends Sam Quinones's Dreamland. Discussed in this episode: Marc Lewis, The Biology of Desire: Why Addiction Is Not a Disease Angela Garcia, The Pastoral Clinic: Addiction and Dispossession Along the Rio Grande Thomas de Quincey, Confessions of an English Opium Eater: Being an Extract from the Life of a Scholar David Linden, The Compass of Pleasure: How Our Brains Make Fatty Foods, Orgasm, Exercise, Marijuana, Generosity, Vodka, Learning, and Gambling Feel So Good Shaylih Muehlmann, When I Wear My Alligator Boots: Narco-Culture in the U.S. Mexico Borderlands Sam Quinones, Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic Learn more about your ad choices.

I am sending you good vibes. Love you so much –This week, I will be speaking with you on why we overeat, discussing the important brain science research from one of my favorite Maesters in this area, Dr. Susan Pierce-Thompson.  In this episode, I give you a gold mine of information on neuroscience. I discuss the motivational triad, the nucleus accumbens and dopamine down regulation. I discuss how eating too much sugar and flour over time makes it so that insulin blocks our hormones leptin and ghrelin from working and I piece it all together like a puzzle.

Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram unpack the science with a focus on Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) linked to energy deficiency in athletes. They explore how intense training and and sport pressures around leanness or weight can disrupt regular hormonal signals, affecting long-term bone density, cardiovascular health, and performance. They also discuss the original concept of the Female Athlete Triad (low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density) and its evolution into RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), a more holistic model encompassing many aspects of health and wellbeing.The conversation expands into evolutionary perspectives, comparing Western menstrual experiences—from menarche to menopause—with those of hunter-gatherer populations like the Hadza, and questioning what “normal” really means. Ultimately, this episode reframes intense athletics as a nuanced practice that must be supported by adequate nutrition and recovery.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 – Intro & Sponsors02:45 – What Is Amenorrhea?05:40 – Primary vs Secondary Amenorrhea09:00 – Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA): Energy deficiency and hormonal suppression11:10 – Female Athlete Triad → RED-S: Evolution of understanding in sports science21:30 – The Hadza perspective: menarche to menopause25:25 – Negative consequences of amenorrhea: Bone Health  29:15 – IUD induced amenorrhea 37:00 – Historical and modern timelines for menarche compared to the Hadza 50:45 – Closing thoughts on ancient humans Links & Research Mentioned:Substack article that prompted this episode Dr Jen Gunter's article on the hormonal IUD and bone health Foraging & Menstruation in the Hadza of Tanzania Comparison between The Female Athlete Triad & RED-SConnect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:Ikaria Design: The Soul Seat® offers height-adjustable, multi-position sitting—get 10% off new chairs and desks with code DNA10.Smart Playrooms: Beautiful playroom design and movement-rich equipment—save 10% on monkey bars and rock-wall items with code DNA10.Peluva: Five-toe minimalist shoes that move like you do—take 10% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENTMovemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. William Levine, a board-certified periodontist and chief scientist at Peri Active Oral Rinse.

Oral Health, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease: Dr. William Levine, a board-certified periodontist and chief scientist at Peri Active Oral Rinse, offers a deep-dive on periodontal disease as an infectious inflammatory condition with autoimmune-like tissue destruction. It affects over 50% of U.S. adults over 35 and rises with age. He details bidirectional links between gum disease and systemic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and some dementias, and notes signs such as bleeding, pain, swelling, loose or shifting teeth, and gum recession. Levine explains plaque, dysbiosis, and biofilms, emphasizing mechanical plaque removal to preserve a healthy oral microbiome. Standard care includes scaling and root planing, possible surgery, and lasers; antiseptic rinses like chlorhexidine can be harsh and limited against biofilms. Levine describes a plant-bioactive rinse (gotu kola, echinacea, elderberry) designed to reduce harmful bacteria, penetrate gums, lower inflammation, and promote repair; xylitol may help via saliva stimulation. He also addresses smoking, dry mouth, fluoride toothpaste, interdental cleaning, and osteoporotic drugs' dental risks.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, we went down a rabbit hole after hearing a clip about something most people don't realize: many doctors receive little to no formal education on exercise or nutrition in medical school. That doesn't mean doctors aren't incredibly knowledgeable or valuable, but it does raise a big question about where people should actually look for guidance on lifestyle habits that impact long-term health.We talk about how the healthcare system is largely designed to treat illness rather than prevent it, and why things like sleep, movement, hydration, and food often get overlooked until problems show up. Along the way we share personal experiences with anxiety, ER visits, parenting, and how small lifestyle changes can make a much bigger impact than people expect.It's a mix of fitness talk, healthcare reality checks, and a reminder that sometimes the most powerful health strategies are the ones that seem almost too simple.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Dr. Luke Bucci joined Jerry for a conversational podcast discussion about health and nutrition, particularly focusing on aging after 40. The conversation covered specific supplement recommendations from Juvenon, particularly their BloodFlow 7 product focused on nitric oxide production, and Dr. Bucci shared insights about nutritional testing and the importance of understanding individual health needs through proper testing rather than relying solely on conventional medical approaches. Key takeaways After age 40, the body undergoes significant changes, but maintaining a healthy, functional body is achievable through proper nutrition, exercise, and supplementation The three most important supplements for everyone are vitamin D3, magnesium, and omega-3s Exercise, particularly strength training, is essential for preventing muscle loss and maintaining functionality as we age Diet should focus on whole, fresh foods prepared at home rather than processed or restaurant foods Blood flow and nitric oxide production decline significantly with age, dropping 20% by age 40 in healthy individuals and 60% in unhealthy individuals Nutritional changes and supplementation require 3-4 months to show meaningful results, not just weeks Krill oil may be superior to fish oil for omega-3 supplementation due to better absorption and reduced oxidation Dr. Luke Bucci is the Chief Scientific Officer of Juvenon, a clinical nutritionist, and a recognized leader in nutritional science with 37+ years in the dietary supplement industry working with Nobel Prize-winning scientists.   Visit ConfidenceThroughHealth.com to find discounts to some of our favorite products.Follow me via All In Health and Wellness on Facebook or Instagram.Find my books on Amazon: No More Sugar Coating: Finding Your Happiness in a Crowded World and Confidence Through Health: Live the Healthy Lifestyle God DesignedProduction credit: Social Media Cowboys

On today's episode, I'm joined by Jessie Inchauspé, also known as Glucose Goddess, for her third time on the podcast to talk about what your doctor isn't telling you about pregnancy nutrition. Jessie shares her personal experience navigating pregnancy, including intense nausea during her first trimester and how going back to her core principle of stabilizing blood sugar helped her feel better and support her baby's development. We dive into some of the biggest myths around pregnancy and why what you eat is actually co-creating your baby's future health. Jessie breaks down the key nutrients every mom should focus on: protein, choline, and omega-3s and how much you really need in each trimester. We also talk about sugar intake, postpartum depletion, miscarriage, and simple, practical ways to nourish yourself during pregnancy (even when all you want are pastries). If you're pregnant, trying to conceive, or just want to better understand how nutrition shapes your baby's lifelong health, this episode is packed with a ton of information.

Herbal Medicine, Quality Control, and Adulteration Prevention: Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council (ABC), recounts his entry into herbalism via vegetarianism in 1968, off-grid living, and starting a wholesale herb business in 1974 before shifting to nonprofit education, research, advocacy, and quality control. The discussion covers the evolution from teas and tinctures to standardized extracts, the complexity and synergy of multiple constituents, and how standardization supports quality control and therapeutic consistency. Blumenthal explains ABC's Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program and its free, peer-reviewed resources addressing global fraud, plus GMP requirements and laboratory methods for identity, contamination, and potency testing. He discusses herbs including ashwagandha, turmeric/curcumin and adulteration risks, maca, nigella, and milk thistle, and outlines ABC resources, HerbClip, and membership options at herbalgram.org.

Today is day 83 and we are concluding the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the twelfth line: “He will come again to judge the living and the dead”. 83. How does the Church exercise its authority to judge? The authority Christ gave to his Church to judge is most often exercised by declaring God's forgiveness in absolution. However, a priest, acting under the authority of the bishop, may suspend a person from receiving Communion because of scandalous and unrepented sin, in order to draw them to repentance and restoration. (Psalm 32; Matthew 16:19; 18:15–17; John 20:21–23; 1 Corinthians 5:1–13) We will conclude today with Prayer 80.

 What Matters More: Diet or Exercise? Episode Overview One of the biggest debates in health and fitness is simple: What matters more — diet or exercise? You've probably heard all the sayings: "Abs are made in the kitchen." "You can't out-train a bad diet." "Just move more and everything will work itself out." So which one is actually true? The honest answer is: it depends on the outcome you're trying to achieve. In this episode, we break down how nutrition and exercise influence different systems in the body and why understanding their roles can simplify your entire approach to health and fitness. We cover how each one impacts: Weight loss Body composition Longevity Mental health Performance When you understand how diet and exercise work together, you stop chasing quick fixes and start building a system that actually works. Why This Debate Exists The diet vs. exercise debate exists because people are pursuing different goals. Someone trying to lose weight focuses on food. Someone trying to feel strong focuses on training. Someone trying to live longer focuses on lifestyle habits. The problem happens when people assume one replaces the other. Nutrition and exercise influence very different systems in the body. Diet primarily influences: Calories and energy balance Body fat levels Blood sugar regulation Inflammation Nutrient intake Exercise primarily influences: Muscle mass Cardiovascular health Metabolic flexibility Hormone regulation Brain health So the real question isn't which one matters more. The real question is: Which one drives the outcome you're trying to achieve? If Your Goal Is Weight Loss For pure weight loss on the scale, diet plays the bigger role. Not because exercise isn't valuable — but because of basic energy math. For example: Running a mile burns roughly 100 calories. A muffin can easily contain 400 calories. That means you'd need to run four miles to burn that one muffin. Most people underestimate calories from food while overestimating calories burned through exercise, which is why they can train hard for months without seeing the scale move. When the goal is fat loss, nutrition drives the energy balance. The Problem With "Diet Only" However, losing weight without exercise creates another problem. When people diet without resistance training, they don't just lose fat. They also lose muscle. Muscle is incredibly important because it supports: Metabolism Insulin sensitivity Strength and mobility Healthy aging So while diet influences the number on the scale, exercise determines what type of weight you lose. Fat or muscle. If Your Goal Is Longevity and Health If the goal shifts from weight loss to long-term health, exercise becomes incredibly powerful. Research consistently shows that physical fitness is one of the strongest predictors of longevity. Exercise helps maintain: Cardiovascular health Muscle mass Mobility Metabolic health Strength training preserves muscle as we age, which is one of the biggest indicators of maintaining independence later in life. People who stay strong and maintain good cardiovascular fitness tend to live longer and maintain higher quality of life. Mental Health Benefits This is where exercise has an enormous impact. Movement directly changes brain chemistry. Exercise increases: Dopamine Serotonin Endorphins These chemicals improve: Mood Anxiety levels Stress regulation Sleep quality Nutrition supports brain health over time, but exercise can change how you feel immediately. That's why people often say they feel better after a workout. It's not just psychological. It's biological. The Real Goal: Body Composition Instead of focusing only on weight, the better goal is body composition. Body composition refers to the ratio of: Muscle mass Body fat Two people can weigh the exact same amount but have completely different health profiles depending on how much muscle they carry. This is where diet and exercise work together. Nutrition supports fat loss and energy balance. Exercise builds and preserves muscle. When both are aligned, the body becomes stronger, healthier, and more resilient. The Takeaway Diet and exercise are not competitors. They are partners. Diet controls the energy coming into the system. Exercise determines how your body uses that energy. When both are aligned, you create a foundation for: Sustainable weight management Better physical performance Improved mental health Long-term health and longevity Final Thought Weight loss might start with nutrition. But health, resilience, and performance require movement. The goal isn't choosing one over the other. It's learning how to use both together.  

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Darryl Edwards, movement coach and founder of the Primal Play Method, about rethinking exercise through the lens of play, biology, and human nature.In this conversation, they explore why so many adults lose their natural instinct to move, and how modern, structured exercise may be missing something fundamental. Darryl shares how playful, varied movement aligns more closely with our evolutionary design, and why this approach can support not just physical fitness, but brain function, resilience, and long-term health.They also discuss the psychology of movement—why enjoyment is often the key to consistency, and how play can shift our relationship with effort, discomfort, and motivation. Along the way, they challenge reductionist thinking in health and fitness, highlighting the broader role movement plays beyond calories burned or steps counted.This is a refreshing and thought-provoking conversation that invites a return to movement as something instinctive, engaging, and sustainable for life.Darryl Edwards MSc, FCIMSPA (Chartered), FBSLM, DFSEM(UK), DipExMed, ACSM-CES, CertLM is a London-based movement coach, author, speaker, and founder of the Primal Play Method®, an approach grounded in evolutionary biology, exercise physiology, cognitive neuroscience, and play psychology. With over 15 years of experience coaching and teaching movement, his work focuses on improving long-term adherence through practical, engaging, and sustainable activity rather than rigid exercise models. After nearly two decades in investment banking technology, he rebuilt his own health using a back-to-basics movement approach, which now underpins his work with individuals, clinicians, educators, and organisations aiming to reduce sedentary behaviour and support both physical and mental wellbeing. He is a Fellow of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, a Chartered Fellow Physical Activity and Health Practitioner with CIMSPA, a Diplomate Member of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (UK), and an ACSM Cancer Exercise Specialist®. In 2025, he received the US Play Coalition's Stephanie P. Garst Distinguished Service Award for his contribution to promoting physical and social health through play, and in 2026 he is a keynote speaker at Playtopia: Make Way for Play in Boston and a speaker at the ESMO Breast Cancer conference. His TED talk, “Why Working Out Isn't Working Out,” explores why traditional exercise often fails people and highlights the importance of enjoyable movement for long-term consistency.Darryl Edwards: https://www.primalplay.com/who-is-darryl-edwards Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

What if the reason your body isn't responding… isn't because you're doing something wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Vital Spark coach Lindsey Newman to unpack the story behind her journey from “doing everything right” to realizing her body was breaking down beneath the surface. Coach Lindsey shares what it looked like to chase the “fit mom” identity of training harder, eating less, and trying to prove something both to herself and to the world around her. Despite eating as little as 1200 calories, lifting six days a week, and adding in cardio, her body was gaining weight, her energy was crashing, and her hormones were spiraling. What followed was a season of deep exhaustion, chronic pain, anxiety, and the terrifying feeling that her body was no longer her own. She opens up about the emotional toll of that time, the frustration of being told she was “fine,” and the moment she finally felt seen after receiving a PCOS diagnosis. But even then, she knew there had to be more to the story. That search led her to functional health, where everything began to click. Lindsey shares how uncovering deeper root causes like POTS, gut dysfunction, and thyroid issues completely changed the way she understood her body and ultimately how she healed it. We talk about why “calories in, calories out” isn't the full picture, how systems in the body are deeply interconnected, and what most women are missing when they try to fix their health. This conversation is for the woman who feels exhausted, frustrated, and stuck despite doing everything she's been told should work. Because your body isn't broken and there is a way forward when you finally start looking at the full picture.   Time Stamps:   (1:22) Coach Lindsey (3:27) Having Babies Early and Staying “Fit” (9:54) The Calories In Calories Out Conversation (13:02) Finding Functional Health (17:20) Finding The True Answers (23:09) POTS Syndrome (30:14) Coaching Women Through Experience (34:58) Where To Find Coach Lindsey --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

We all know exercise is ‘good for us’, but why is it that a walk can calm your brain, why a workout can feel like emotional release, or why movement can become either self-care or self-punishment. In this episode, we unpack the psychology of exercise – what’s happening to our brains over time, where the ‘exercise as antidepressants’ claim came from, and what happens when it crosses into obsession. We explore:• The role of endorphins and endocannabinoids• How movement can regulate our emotions• Identity and motivation in exercise• How exercise changes our brains• The role of exercise in treating depression• How to build a healthier relationship with exercise Watch on Netflix Follow Jemma on Instagram: @jemmasbeg Follow the podcast on Instagram: @thatpsychologypodcast Subscribe on Substack: @thepsychologyofyour20s For business: psychologyofyour20s@gmail.com Our favourite sources: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10813489/ https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/2/101.abstract https://insight.jci.org/articles/view/126190 The Psychology of your 20s is not a substitute for professional mental health help.

If you've built a life that looks great from the outside but still feels like something's missing on the inside, the problem might not be your relationship — it might be how much of yourself you're actually bringing to it. Whether it's a body image spiral that shuts you down in the bedroom, a long-term dynamic that's gone quietly cold, or a fear of vulnerability that's been running the show since day one, the shift almost always starts with one honest conversation. In this episode, volleyball legend, entrepreneur, and mother of three Gabby Reece gets real about what it actually takes to keep desire, respect, and intimacy alive after decades together — and why most of us are working harder than we need to. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the masculine and feminine dynamic has been completely misunderstood — and how redefining it can transform your relationship and your sex life • What Gabby and Laird's 48-hour rule actually looks like in practice, and whether a structure like that could work for you • How to stop torturing yourself in the bedroom and finally get out of your head long enough to actually feel something • The real reason long-term relationships lose their spark — and the daily habits that keep attraction from quietly dying • How to talk to your kids about sex, body image, and peer pressure in a way that actually lands • Why vulnerability isn't a personality trait you either have or don't — it's a skill, and it's one you can learn This episode is sponsored by...
