She wrote This Is Your Brain on Birth Control and has also authored The Period Brain, which is due to be released this fall. In our conversation, Dr. Hill dispels the myths surrounding bioidentical hormones and shares her view on how women are not biologically disordered, but just ignored by science. We dive into research on how oral contraceptives affect the brain and how the pill creates a dysregulated stress response, particularly in women with histories of adverse childhood experiences. We also explore progesterone through the lens of an evolutionary biologist and neuro-endocrinologist, highlighting its role in supporting GABAergic tone, the key differences between synthetic progestins and natural progesterone, and research on PMS and PMDD, including practical ways to manage those issues. This helpful discussion with Dr. Sarah Hill is a must-listen for women at every stage of life. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why has science ignored women? How oral contraceptives affect the way women perceive the world How early-life trauma impacts the ability to manage stress in adulthood Often-overlooked benefits of progesterone The different ways estrogen and progesterone impact women's ability to build muscle mass from resistance training The positive effects of the GABAergic system in the brain The problem with combined hormone therapy How progesterone gets ignored and villainized, even though it can help women experience better lives How the protective and anti-inflammatory properties of progesterone support brain health and enhance neuroplasticity What the research suggests for women experiencing severe PMS or PMDD Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Sarah Hill On her website Instagram Pre-order a copy of Dr. Hill's new book, The Period Brain: The New Science of Why We PMS and How to Fix It, which will be on sale at the end of September.

Send us a textChoosing the right attorney for your community association is about much more than comparing hourly rates. In this episode of Take It To The Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with Tana Bucca, Vice Chair of Becker's Community Association practice in New Jersey, to explore what boards should really look for when hiring legal counsel.Donna and Tana discuss why specialized experience in community association law often saves time and money, how firm size and bandwidth can impact service—particularly for smaller associations—and why rushed “cattle call” interviews rarely lead to the right fit for either side.

Sandeep shares his mission to educate consumers, challenge industry myths like “peace silk,” and inspire entrepreneurs to prioritize ethics, sustainability, and transparency over short-term profit.This is a powerful, must-hear story for every vegan entrepreneur who has faced significant challenges.Quote:So my message to all the entrepreneurs is that yes, we need profits to run our business, you know, for our livelihood.  But we should make sure that we take care of the ecosystem, both the environment and other living beings, as well as the fellow human beings who deserve a better life. -- M.

This week, I'm joined by Sherry Lukey—globally recognized executive coach, speaker, and the kind of human who can help you stop sabotaging your own progress (even if you're high-functioning, high-achieving, and hiding your stress under 17 open browser tabs). We dive into her Tap Into Power™ Framework, the science-backed toolset that combines EFT (a.k.a. tapping) with real trauma reprocessing—no crystals or vague advice required. If you've ever: Felt like you're doing all the right things but still hitting a ceiling Wondered why you keep defaulting to self-sabotage just when things are going well Or just want to know why your nervous system freaks out when your Slack notification pings... ...this one's for you. Inside this episode: ✨ The truth about subconscious beliefs—and why most of yours were formed before age 7 ✨ What EFT (tapping) actually does to your brain and body ✨ How unresolved emotional patterns impact chronic illness, weight loss, career growth & relationships ✨ Why high-achievers tend to burn out—and what to do about it ✨ And how reprogramming your stress response might be the most anti-aging move you make all year Oh—and I also share the surprising moment I used tapping on my hyperactive Labrador. (Get this: it worked.) This one is equal parts science, mindset, and “Wait, how has no one told me this before?”

Summer camp! Nope, not braiding lanyards and making s'mores. Out on the prairie, it's all about dogs and wild birds and Mel Leuck joins me from her camp to give us the lowdown on what really happens there. What's a day look like? Why drive so far? She'll have the answers. We also cover important training topics including steadiness on birds, keeping your dog out in front of you, and how to keep dogs cool early in the season. A vet tech too, Mel will help us pull porcupine quills the right way, and shares some emergency gear she carries in the field. "Fix It" offers a way to get pup to come a'runnin, and from our social media we perpetuate the debate on 16 gauge shotguns ... the perfect solution to any problem?

Nolan Gray is the author of the very successful book, “Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It.” If you're in the planning and zoning world, you've likely heard of it or read it. If you haven't, run right out and do it.Most of this episode focuses on the unique nature of Houston, Texas, and its approach to land use regulation. Often-scorned by planners because the city doesn't have zoning, it actually provides a fascinating alternative to a process we know by now doesn't work very well. And we dissect a few of the fears related to what might happen without zoning.Nolan has a deep knowledge of the history of zoning, and we touch a bit on how things came to be in the US context. Trust me - it's not as boring as it sounds, but it's also really important to know that this is a fairly young idea and institution. My editorial comment has always been: this was all invented by other humans, not all that long ago, and we shouldn't be so afraid of even radical changes. It's not the Ten Commandments, folks.We can dream of a repeal of Euclid v Ambler, even if we never get it. And who knows, we might even get to a result that's actually more democratic in nature than what we have today.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Few writers have illuminated baseball's legends with the depth, rigor, and heart of renowned sports journalist and author Jane Leavy.  From Sandy Koufax to Mickey Mantle to Babe Ruth, her biographies of the game's greatest figures don't just recount their lives — they reveal the eras each helped to define. Now, with her new book Make Me Commissioner: I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It, Leavy turns her sharp eye and seasoned reporting toward the sport itself, asking what's broken, what's worth preserving, and how its lost magic might be restored. In this episode, we sit down with Leavy for a wide-ranging conversation that blends her unparalleled knowledge of baseball history with a candid assessment of its present challenges — analytics overload, youth development crises, dwindling diversity, and the struggle to balance spectacle with spontaneity. She also shares her imaginative, sometimes provocative, ideas for how the game could evolve in the years ahead. For longtime fans, casual observers, and anyone who cares about the soul of America's pastime, this episode delivers a masterclass in baseball storytelling — and a glimpse into the possible futures of the game from one of its finest chroniclers.  PLUS: Your chance to win a copy of "Make Me Commissioner"! + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  "Make Me Commissioner: I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It": https://amzn.to/4paR6iX SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

You know when you feel like you're constantly going through the motions between work, family, and endless responsibilities—but inside, everything feels flat? That's the reality of high-functioning depression.  In this episode, I'm joined by the talented psychiatrist, author, and nationally recognized expert in women's mental health, Dr. Judith Joseph, to unpack what high-functioning depression really is.  We dive into the secret signs of high-functioning depression, especially in midlife, and why it often goes unnoticed in women who seem to have it all together.  Dr. Joseph shares powerful strategies and practical tools to help you move from surviving to truly thriving.  We also discuss how to recognize when a loved one might be struggling behind the mask of success—and how to offer meaningful support.  If you feel emotionally drained despite keeping it all together on the outside, this episode will give you the clarity you need for more happiness in your life. Dr. Judith Joseph, MD MBA Dr. Judith Joseph is a psychiatrist, researcher, award-winning content creator, and author of the National Bestselling book “High Functioning, Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy”. Dr. Judith was named as a 2024 Black Health Hero by PopSugar Inc. She was also named a 2024 VeryWell Mind Top 25 Mental Health Thought Leader and a 2024 NAACP Top 6 Mental Health Champion. IN THIS EPISODE Warning signs for high-functioning depression in midlife  Understanding the science of happiness  Most common symptoms of high-functioning depression  Why many high-functioning people have trouble slowing down  The difference between happiness and joy  Strategies for navigating high-functioning depression  How to support a loved one with high-functioning depression  QUOTES “People who go through perimenopause and menopause often mask how they feel just to show up for the job and for others. So they often have this underlying high-functioning depression that is made worse [from] hormonal fluctuations.” “Gratitude practices are really helpful in staving off high-functioning depression or sustaining your joy. It's hard to be grateful when you don't know what brings you joy.” “Don't give up. You may feel hopeless, but know that there's always something you have not tried. There's always hope. That's why I like the idea of support groups, because many times you not only help others with your story, but you also learn from other people.” RESOURCES MENTIONED

From "all politics are local" to adopting your very own cause, we'll go deep into the weeds on policy and how critical it is that we grass roots stay engaged.
