A listener has reason to feel proud about how well she and her husband have managed their son's anxiety at home. But the well-meaning teachers at school have historically continued to support avoidance. The parents want to partner with the school and make sure the approach to the anxiety this year is consistent. Unlimited “calm down breaks” and removal of challenges? Nope. So how can they get everyone on board? WE'VE MADE PLAYLISTS OF OUR EPISODES TO HELP YOU FIND RESOURCES ON SPECIFIC TOPICS. Here is our first: For those brand new to the podcast, we suggest starting with this playlist featuring Lynn Lyons and the 7-part anxiety disruptor series as well as a 3-part series on the skills most helpful in managing anxious kids: flexibility, problem solving, and autonomy.

Send a question or comment via text message175 episodes in, we're finally talking about medication. This week we get into questions we hear constantly: if I take medication for my anxiety, does that mean I'm failing, or that I'll never really recover? Is medication cheating? Is it evil? Is there even an answer to these questions?We talk about why these questions don't even really hold up, why medication combined with therapy is genuinely the gold standard for treating some anxiety disorders, and why using meds to get to a place where you can do exposure work isn't cheating anyone. We also get into what "working" actually means, since everyone gets to define that differently, why informed consent conversations with your prescriber matter, and why the fear of taking a pill can become its own exposure.

Send us Fan MailBrendan Reesor is on a mission to transform perceptions of mental illness. Years ago, he made a significant change to his diet, which not only led to notable improvements in his physical health but also had unexpected effects on his mental well-being.As he hoped, his once pallid complexion brightened, but he soon discovered that he was free from chronic anxiety and mild feelings of gender dysphoria that had previously troubled him. Intrigued by his own transformation, Brendan delved into research, observing that his past experiences were not isolated. He recognized a troubling pattern among others who, like him, shared traits of being plant-based, pale, anxious, gender dysphoric, and socially conscious.Determined to uncover the deeper truths about mental health, Brendan explored the intricate relationship between physical health and emotional well-being. He began to decipher complex phenomena often overlooked by experts, including nightmares, sleep paralysis, panic attacks, hallucinations, dissociation, mass hysteria, and postpartum depression, all of which he connects to deficiencies in blood and oxygen.In his book, Beyond The Pale: Anemia: The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness and Gender Dysphoria, Brendan invites readers to explore his findings and consider the often-unacknowledged role of physical health in understanding mental illness.Find Brendan at-Amazon- Beyond The Pale: Anemia: The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness and Gender DysphoriaWebsite- https://www.brendanjreesor.com/YT- @I Am Beyond The PaleLink Tree- @https://linktr.ee/brendan.reesor Find Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here!
Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and co-host Road Dog deliver an energetic, honest deep-dive into core principles for coaching business success—from the real meaning of the 80/20 rule, the power (and pitfalls) of focus, and the truth about scaling and client retention, to addressing anxiety as the price of ambition. With playful banter and actionable wisdom, Karl busts common myths, unpacks the signal-to-noise concept with lessons from Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, and shares unique rules for coaches to build stronger, longer client relationships and higher-performing businesses. Key Topics Covered The Real 80/20 Principle in Business Karl Bryan explores how Steve Jobs' return to Apple and Nike's turnaround show 80/20 thinking in action—cutting unproductive offerings to amplify the best. Examples span from Google, McDonald's, and clothing companies to coaching: focus on the assets and relationships that drive the bulk of your results (03:14–08:00). Contrarian Takes on Coaching Advice Why "do what you love and money will follow" is overrated—do what you're good at, fall in love with sales, marketing, and solving problems (09:03). Challenging the E-Myth idea of leaving a business for six months: rare in reality, context matters. The myth of "multiple streams of income": not wise until your primary business is reliably selling at high volume for an extended period (13:09). Signal vs. Noise: Working Smarter, Not Harder Inspired by Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, Karl Bryan discusses eliminating "busywork" and prioritizing the vital few actions that make the boat go faster (19:31). How to apply signal-to-noise thinking in project planning, debates, and even national economic policy. Unique, Underdiscussed Coaching Rules Nothing in life (or business) is a straight line—it's all about adapting to unpredictable curves. The formula for failure: too much time and too many distractions. The formula for success: tight deadlines and single focus. Networking and environment: strategically positioning yourself in high-value places accelerates opportunities (29:53). Client Retention, Relationship Building, and Mindset Clients stay because they like you—make business relationships more personal and long-term. Life needs to break you to wake you—how overcoming adversity can be a launching pad for bigger breakthroughs. Addressing anxiety: the hidden currency of ambition, and why planning and taking action melts anxiety (41:14). Notable Quotes "Starve the trivial many so the vital few can do their magic and compound." "Do what you're good at—that's how you make lots of money. Fall in love with selling, marketing, content creation, problem-solving… that's how you crush it." "Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket really, really, really carefully." "Motion is noise; signal is the results. The ultimate measure of working smarter is a low signal-to-noise ratio." "Your greatest successes will come through other people." "Anxiety is the price of ambition… Successful people are worrying, anxious addicts." "Remember: progress equals happiness." Actionable Takeaways 1. Ruthlessly Identify & Double Down on Your 80/20 Map out what drives the majority of your revenues, client results, and business growth. Focus there; cut or minimize the distracting rest. 2. Stop Chasing Every Trend—Master Your One Main Thing Until you have a $5M+ business (or stable, strong revenue), don't split your focus into multiple streams. Place all eggs in one basket, watch it obsessively. 3. Build Relationships for the Long Term Move beyond transactional coaching—clients stay (and refer) when they genuinely like you. Invest in those relationships (even outside the boardroom). 4. Remove "Busywork"—Prioritize Like Jobs/Musk Before acting, ask: will this move me measurably closer to my goal? If not, drop it. Efficient action beats constant activity. 5. Create Momentum by Changing Your Environment Network in higher-end venues, luxury lobbies, or wherever your ideal clients are. Uplevel conversations and connections. 6. Face Anxiety by Doing the Planning and the Work Document best/worst/probable scenarios. The act of planning, not the plan itself, reduces anxiety and increases confidence. 7. Serve and Connect—Fight the Epidemic of Loneliness Facilitate connection and belonging (like Swifties and Taylor Swift); people stay for how you make them feel.

How many of us have worried a problem away? We spent hours wracked with anxiety, and that did it! Problem solved. No, not likely. Author Erma Bombeck famously said, “Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere.” Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it’s actually possible to live a worry-free life. We’ll see where to focus our eyes instead. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

Dr. Eboni Cornish, MD, of Amen Clinics and ILADS, returns for a third conversation, live in Nashville. She and Dr. Chris Motley talk about Lyme and other tick-borne infections in the brain: anxiety and depression, kids labeled ADHD, puberty flares, mold and memory, and why she calms the brain before treating anything. Plus her best question: when did your symptoms start, and where were you? Sources in the show notes. Educational only, not medical advice. 00:00 Depression, anxiety, and a Lyme test 00:39 Welcome: Dr. Eboni Cornish, live in Nashville 02:20 From bored family doctor to Lyme practice 04:13 How Lyme gets into the brain 06:12 What a Lyme brain looks like on a SPECT scan 08:02 The limbic loop: calm the brain 10:21 Is neurology catching up? 12:30 Floaters, light sensitivity, and trouble reading 14:05 Tinnitus and sound sensitivity 15:08 Can kids have Lyme? Pregnancy and newborns 17:48 Why puberty can trigger a flare 20:12 ADHD, PANS, and a gentler approach for kids 23:32 Food, kids, and the one-food trade 25:56 Sudden anger in children 27:23 Joint pain and injuries that won't heal 28:57 Teeth, gums, and cavitations 31:09 Babesia and your red blood cells 32:34 MTHFR, explained 35:11 Swollen lymph nodes and lymphatic drainage 36:47 Memory loss, mold, and dementia risk 39:42 Where were you when your symptoms started? 41:31 Gratitude and the brain 43:59 How your gut shapes your mood 46:09 Her morning routine 48:19 Saunas, baths, and cold water 50:38 Belly breathing for kids 51:11 Her fall speaking tour 54:14 Where to find Dr. Cornish 55:34 Wrap-up 57:01 Disclaimer Key Takeaways: Tick-borne illness can show up in the brain. Lyme can reach the nervous system. If you have neurological symptoms and you are not getting better, Dr. Cornish says to put tick-borne disease on the list (5:16). Calm the brain before you push treatment. Her patients who react to everything are often stuck in fight or flight, a "limbic loop" (9:37). She starts by calming the nervous system. Kids get labeled. Many of her pediatric patients arrive diagnosed with ADHD or "being bad" (20:50). A sudden change in a child, over days rather than months, is worth asking your pediatrician about by name: PANS. Trade one food, not the whole diet. She asks a reluctant kid for one food that "doesn't love your brain," and trades a supplement off the list in return (25:04). Then she asks AI for realistic swaps a family will actually eat. Babesia lives in red blood cells. If you have tested positive, don't donate blood. Federal blood-safety rules agree.

When was the last time you jumped in a pile of leaves without taking a picture of it? And do you know what not doing this is doing to your nervous system? In this week's episode, Dr. Josh talks about what it means to go analog in a digital world. He covers why our screens have quietly become our masters, what half-attention teaches our kids, and the small two-degree shifts that bring us back to our own soul, our spouse, and our kids. You don't have to get rid of your devices. But you may need to get rid of your vices. Here are some highlights: Anything you can't fast from owns you.Connection comes from small two-degree shifts, not one radical decision.Kids notice your continous partial attention. When they say "look at me," they deserve all of you.Go analog: find what works for you (e.g. no dings, phone stays inside when you play, one screen-free room, one screen-free time of day.)Boredom isn't the enemy. It's where creativity starts.Use screens to create, not just consume.God often speaks in the silence, and our noise can drown Him out.Show Notes: Looking for one-on-one coaching with Dr. Josh to be famous at home? https://www.famousathome.com/individualcoachingMen, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

Psychedelics are having a moment in mental health care. Research is showing promising results for conditions including depression, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. But how much do we actually know — and how much is hype? ADAA member expert and licensed psychologist Jonathan Schettino, PhD, explains how psychedelics went from being viewed primarily as illegal drugs to becoming the subject of serious clinical research. He breaks down what happens during psychedelic-assisted therapy, why standardized dosing matters, and why treatment involves much more than simply taking a psychedelic and “tripping.” Listeners will learn: how researchers control psychedelic doses in clinical trials why psychedelics aren't yet FDA-approved treatments whether psychotherapy makes psychedelic treatment more effective The research is promising, but the science isn't settled. This conversation explains what we know, what we don't know, and why the next few years could be critical for understanding the future of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatment. Listen now! This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA).

Mastering teen money basics is the ultimate key to transforming Gen Z's financial anxiety into agency and empowerment. In part two of our special series with my 17-year-old stepdaughter, Maddie, we are moving past the psychological traps of spending guilt and laying down highly actionable advice for young adults. We explore how to outsmart the "invisible cash" effect by deleting saved credit cards, using the 24-hour rule to limit impulse buys, and reframing purchases into actual hours worked. From establishing strict student loan rules of thumb for college to embracing an internal locus of control, we outline exactly how to navigate social proof and build resilient financial habits before teenagers step into their next phase of life.Get the full show notes, show references, and more information here: https://www.insideoutmoney.org/183-teen-money-basics/

Your body has a check engine light. The question is: are you paying attention before it becomes a bigger problem?A headache. Poor sleep. Gut issues. Anxiety. Skin problems. Fatigue. Changes in mood or behavior.What if some of the symptoms we're trying to silence are actually the body trying to communicate?In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, Dr. Terry Weyman and Dr. Spencer Baron sit down with Beth Lambert, author, educator, former healthcare consultant, and Founder and Executive Director of Documenting Hope, to explore a provocative question:Why can two people experience similar environments and stressors—yet one thrives while the other becomes chronically ill?Beth introduces the concept of “Total Load”: the cumulative impact of nutrition, stress, environmental exposures, medications, the microbiome, nervous-system regulation, lifestyle and other factors that may influence an individual's resilience. In the conversation, she describes symptoms as a body's “check engine warning light”—a signal worth understanding rather than automatically ignoring. Pasted textIn this episode, we explore:• Why seemingly unrelated symptoms may deserve a closer look• The connection between the gut microbiome, immune system and resilience• Antibiotics and their potential long-term impact on the microbiome• Environmental toxins, plastics, pesticides and chemical exposures• Stress, nervous-system dysregulation and modern life• The emerging science of the exposome and cumulative environmental exposure• Light, technology, EMFs and the modern home• Why Beth believes health needs to be viewed through a more individualized lens• Her practical 80/20 approach to reducing overwhelm• Three things families can start doing now: reduce unnecessary stress, prioritize whole foods and simplify the home environment Pasted textThis isn't about becoming afraid of everything around you.It's about becoming more aware of what your body may already be telling you.Beth's work focuses particularly on children with chronic health and developmental challenges. Through Documenting Hope, her team studies the cumulative effects of environmental and lifestyle stressors and personalized, systems-based approaches to health. Beth is also the author of A Compromised Generation and co-author of Brain Under Attack. Beth LambertBeth and Documenting Hope are bringing together physicians, researchers, practitioners, innovators and families for the Health & Healing Expo by Documenting Hope, November 21–22, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, with a virtual attendance option.The two-day event explores the connections among the microbiome, nervous system, mitochondria, metabolism, fascia, nutrition, light, neuroscience, regenerative medicine and whole-person health.

Redemption was already paid for. Restoration is what you have to go dig up.In this message, guest speaker Ryan Bush breaks down the difference between two words believers use interchangeably but shouldn't: redemption and restoration. Redemption is the finished work of the cross — a free gift you didn't earn and can't repeat. Restoration is different. It's physical, tangible, and it demands your participation. Using the story of Isaac re-digging his father's buried wells in Genesis 26, Ryan unpacks why the things you've lost — joy, confidence, health, peace, a dream you buried years ago — aren't gone. They're just covered up, waiting for you to start digging.Subscribe.

Welcome to The Counseling Room, where Dr. Darlene Turner brings a safe space to you.When God Feels Silent: Trusting Him in the WaitingHave you ever prayed, waited, and asked God for direction—only to feel like He isn't answering?In this episode of The Counseling Room, Dr. Darlene Turner explores what happens when God feels silent and how those seasons can affect us emotionally and spiritually. When we don't have answers, our minds can begin to fill in the silence with fear, worry, and worst-case scenarios.But God's silence does not mean God's absence.Using Isaiah 40:31 as a foundation, Dr. Turner reminds us that waiting isn't necessarily a season of weakness. It can be a place where God renews and strengthens us. Like a seed growing beneath the soil, God may be doing something beneath the surface that we cannot see yet.Dr. Turner also connects faith with emotional health, encouraging us to recognize the anxiety that uncertainty can create and to resist the temptation to solve tomorrow today.Whether you're waiting for an answer, healing, direction, or a change in your circumstances, this episode offers a reminder to keep trusting God—even when you cannot see what He is doing.Keep trusting. Keep praying. Keep believing. God is still there in the silence.

Playing it safe with your gifts is its own kind of disobedience.The servant who was given the least buried his — it was no coincidence he had the least. He perceived God as fearful and intimidating. You get what you give. Dead at 25, not buried till 75 — the buried talent isn't currency, it's your life. The diesel exhaust fluid is empty. The truck won't go past 50 MPH. That's what fear does to you. I want to travel. I've been putting it off. I'm putting it out there right now — let's see what happens.The sting of rejection is much quicker than the everlasting "what if." It's uncertain certainty — not a matter of if, just when. Leaning fully on Him isn't a real risk, but it feels like one. That's exactly the point. You go super low — something begins to crack. A connection begins to have space.Listen if you're ready for the risk requirement: real stewardship of your gift always involves exposure to loss. I care about you. Genuinely. How else could I say that?

Why Do I Feel Anxious When Nothing Is Wrong? — A 10-Minute Guided Meditation for Anxiety for No Reason | Grounding & Letting Go Why do I feel anxious when nothing is wrong? Everything is fine. Nobody has called with bad news, the house is quiet, and yet there it is: that little knot inside saying something isn't right. This guided meditation is for anxiety for no reason, the frustrating kind where there's nothing you can point to, so your mind goes searching for something to worry about and fills a perfectly ordinary quiet moment with it. For a quiet place to return to whenever this feeling catches you out, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's free companion app. Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode doesn't try to find what's wrong. Instead you'll practise what it feels like to stop looking. It starts with simple grounding (one thing you can see, one thing you can hear, one place your body is being held), then moves to noticing your breath without fixing it. Along the way you'll learn why sometimes the feeling comes first and the mind goes looking for an explanation afterwards. Then comes a steadying phrase, "I don't have to know why right now," along with affirmations for unexplained anxiety and three caring tips. Want more support?

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared closes out the Intelligence of Symptoms series by looking at fatigue, water retention, depression, and anxiety through a different lens. Could these symptoms be signals that the body is asking for something rather than problems that simply need to be suppressed? Jared explores the roles of sleep, chronic stress, screen time, circadian rhythm, electrolytes, digestion, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection. He also examines the long-standing chemical imbalance theory of depression, discusses MTHFR and folic acid metabolism, and shares Jen's personal experience with mental health and nutrition. The goal is not to ignore serious symptoms, but to ask better questions about what may be driving them and how supporting the body's normal function can help restore resilience.Additional Information:***Watch for all 4 parts of this series on Symptoms!671: Are We Medicalizing the Human Experience? with Dr. Roger McFillinVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Ralph comments on the extraordinary reality of Mary and Joseph being anxious because Jesus decided to stay in Jerusalem without telling them. Despite all the supernatural help that both Joseph and Mary received they were upset that Jesus didn't tell them what he was doing, causing them three days of anxious searching. When he suggested that they should have understood what he was doing, they said no, they didn't understand what he was doing. Many lessons for us as well.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science.
Fish Oil, Full-Spectrum Omega-3s, and Immunometabolism with Dr. Jeffrey Bland: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science. Bland recounts becoming involved with commercial fish oil in 1980 while promoting MaxEPA amid the “fat is bad” era and discusses Greenland Inuit research showing high omega-3 blood levels and low heart disease. They contrast whole-food omega-3 intake with highly refined EPA/DHA products, highlighting additional constituents in minimally processed oils (vitamins A and D, astaxanthin) and precursor compounds related to specialized pro-resolving mediators. Bland describes Omega-3 Rejuvenate's Alaska line-caught sourcing and low-heat, chemical-free processing, and addresses concerns about mercury, microplastics, and vitamin A dosing. The conversation also covers PLMI's focus on immunometabolism, a CBC-derived SIRI marker, omega-3 insufficiency data from Fullscript, mitochondrial membrane support by DHA, and Bland's upcoming book, “The Nourished Gene.”
What if the answers you've been searching for… you already know?What if your intuition has been talking to you all along—and you've simply learned not to hear it?Medical intuitive Julie Ryan joins Dr. Tara Perry for a fascinating conversation about intuition, healing, and what may be possible when we start listening.KEY TAKEAWAYS05:10 Julie raises her vibrational level to the frequency of spirit and watches a hologram of the body in her mind's eye — like an X-ray — to identify what needs healing. 10:15 Nobody ever heals anybody else. Healers facilitate the process, but the body always heals itself. 13:03 If you receive information that feels negative or abusive during spiritual practice, that's your brain — not spirit. Spirit is pure love. 15:59 Energetic healing happens instantly on the spiritual level, then integrates into the physical body — sometimes immediately, sometimes over days or weeks. 22:00 Everyone is already intuitive. Thinking of someone right before they call you? That's your intuition at work. 22:27 Julie's daily routine: legs-up-the-wall meditation, the rosary, and two minutes standing in the superwoman pose facing the sun. 26:43 We all come in with the same spiritual hardware. Children are naturally psychic until adults teach them not to trust it. 33:34 The faces people see during meditation are the multitudes of spirits that surround us always — ask them if they have a message. 40:43 The biggest way we get in our own way is using logic to override what spirit is already telling us. The antidote: ask "what if?" and take one step. 38:00 University research now shows that 90% of people at the end of life see and communicate with deceased loved ones and pets. Nobody dies alone.RESOURCES MENTIONEDaskjulieryan.com — Julie's website, free book download, call-in show schedule, and training information Angelic Attendance — Julie's free digital and audiobook on what really happens as we transition from this life to the next Ask Julie Ryan Show — Julie's live call-in show, Thursdays at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 5pm PT Julie's Atlanta Training — October 23–25, learn to develop your own intuitive and healing abilities in person If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book
