The Nike Roshe Run, a budget sneaker that became an icon in the 2010s before turning into a meme and fading out, is coming back. But how will its return be received by sneaker collectors who helped make the shoe hot in the first place? The cohosts discuss this on the latest episode of the Complex Sneakers Podcast. They also check the temperature on the Nike Dunk, another iconic shoe that's been watered down in recent years. Elsewhere, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss the closing of Hanon, the state of physical sneaker retail stores, the collaboration between Travis Scott and John McEnroe on the Nike Mac Attack, and more.

This question was sent by Ed, he is one of our Total Organist students and he writes: You asked me to get back to you about what I'm practicing, and I had to wait a few days to figure out how to explain this. As I mentioned in my prior email I have a masters degree in organ performance from many years ago, and then let it lapse for several decades. Now that I'm retired I'm trying to make the magic happen again, and it's been challenging to figure out how to put the pieces back together. My technique has really slipped a good bit, most of my repertoire is rusty, and if I'm not careful I can get pretty discouraged. One thing that has helped me is that I put together the attached spreadsheet. I took several days to go through all the music in the boxes to try to remember what I had learned already. I even found pieces that clearly I had played because my handwriting is all over the paper, yet I could not remember anything about the piece. I put all this information into a spreadsheet to help me understand my priorities and the current state of each of the pieces I was working on. It's been very helpful to keep my focus to resurrect all of the things I've learned already well while still branching into some new material. I'm in a good daily routine now. I spend about 30 minutes split between Hanon and the Davis textbook pedal exercises to get my dexterity back, and then I look through this repertoire list and pick some things that I'm interested in moving up on the current status list. I get pretty tired by mid afternoon, so I save the evening for watching YouTube videos from your site. I also got a copy of the New Oxford Organ Method which I find delightful. One chapter a day seems to be good to remind me of what I used to know. Keep up the great work. Every hour you put into organization is going to have tremendous benefits and increase the availability and respect for what you've done. Thanks so much. Take care, Ed

No me digáis que soy malo por llamar al Renault 14 el “coche pera”… Porque fue una idea, mala idea, de la propia Renault. Muchas cosas salieron mal para que este coche, sucesor del R12 y mucho mejor que él, no triunfase… y para que nunca viese la luz su versión coupé. No nació para competir con el Volkswagen Golf, sino con la idea de superarlo. Ahí es nada. Pero esa era la meta del director de Renault, Bernard Hanon quien no escatimó recursos. Renault en los años 70. La gama de Renault en 1970 gozaba de un gran éxito, pero excepción hecha del Renault 5, nacido en 1972, se había quedado anticuada. Hablamos de los R4, R6, R16 y del R12 y sus derivados deportivos, los R15 y R17, sin olvidar que al R8 llegó hasta el 71 en Francia y 1976 en España y México. En el segmento medio, el de mayores ventas, el R12 ya era un dinosaurio, aunque se vendía bien y tenía mucho prestigio… y tuvo algunas segundas vidas como Dacia y en mercado de América de sur. ¡Más madera! Había que pararle los pies, mejor dicho, las ruedas, al VW Golf y a todo lo se le venía y desde Renault se pusieron en marcha. Hanon pidió a Robert Broyer, diseñador del R12, que diseñase su sustituto, pero pensando en el Golf, es decir, con dos volúmenes. Y como Renault tenía prisa hizo algo hoy en día muy frecuente, pero que no lo era tanto en esos años: Llegar a un acuerdo con una marca rival, concretamente Peugeot, para desarrollar un moderno motor que acabaría siendo usado más por Peugeot que por Renault. Recibimiento frío. Hemos tenido en esta serie de coches incomprendidos coches como el #Fiat Multipla o el AMC Pacer, coches que causaron rechazo desde el principio… pero no dejaron indiferente. Eso de que se hable de ti, aunque sea mal, también pasa en los coches. El R14 no causó rechazo, fue peor, causó cierta indiferencia. El R14, incluso por dentro, a muchos les parecía “demasiado moderno” a otros, simplemente soso… como era el caso de su salpicadero. El ”coche-pera”. Y entonces a un “brillante” -con comillas- ejecutivo-creativo publicitario se le ocurrió una idea extraordinaria: Comparar al R14, que se vendía en un verde “pera” con una pera. ¿Con que objetivo? No se sabe. A lo mejor ese día este creativo no se había tomado su medicación, pero lo cierto es que esta publicidad salió adelante. ¿Y qué pasó? Que se retiró enseguida. Pero el daño estaba hecho. Los clientes, no veían esa forma de pera como una solución de diseño destacable, más bien lo interpretaban como una prueba de falta de solidez y seriedad. Al final se quedó con el mote, que rebasó Francia para llegar a otros países. Convivió cuatro años con el R12, al que apenas superaba en ventas y antes de siete años fue sustituido por el R11 y luego por el 9. Su produjeron en algo más de seis años casi un millón de coches… ¿Puede considerarse en fracaso? Hombre si te digo que del VW Golf I se han fabricado 7 millones de unidades, desde 1974 hasta 2009, cuando cesó su fabricación en Sudáfrica, pues sí. Todo es relativo. España: Más de lo mismo. La vida del R14 en España fue todavía más breve, pues no apareció hasta 1976, cuatro años más tarde, pero eso sí, era Made in Spain. A pesar de los esfuerzos de la marca, el R14 lo tuvo peor en España, un mercado mucho menos maduro y donde los coches de 2 volúmenes, pese al Golf, se perciben como “menos coche” que un tres volúmenes. ¡Hubo un coupé! El proyecto 121, que era la clave interna del R14, contemplaba una versión coupé, parecida a un Hunting Break o Shooting Brake, como más os guste… “coupé de caza” para entendernos. En 1974 François Wasservogel, propuso este concepto de un "shooting brake" basado en el R14 que entonces se estaba industrializando. Se piense en Ligier para hacer esta carrocería, pero suceden dos cosas: Una la crisis de petróleo no invita a lanzar coupés, aunque sean modestos. La otra, que se acaban de remodelar los R15 y R17… así que iba haber una rivalidad interna. Se decide dejar el proyecto para más adelante, pero el escaso éxito del R14 aconseja no liarla más. Una curiosidad, para este modelo se preveía la denominación R9, por ser impar, como los otros coupés y de una numeración inferior, que debía dar idea que se situaba por debajo de los otros modelos deportivos. Conclusión. ¿Mereció este modelo semejante “maltrato” por parte de los compradores? Pues sin duda no. Honestamente, creo que no era un producto redondo que, si tren delantero McPherson no estaba bien resuelto, que faltaban versiones más prestacionales que sí tuvieron sus rivales, entre ellas el Golf GTi, que la estética no cautivo y que la publicidad fue en error de bulto… pero, dicho todo esto, no era un mal coche, ni mucho menos. Y, en mi opinión, en este momento, precisamente porque no tuvo éxito, porque se fabricaron, pocas unidades y se mantienen aún menos, es una buena pieza de colección.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION   (00:00): Welcome back to episode 90, we are gonna be talking about losing weight and we're gonna be starting with breakfast. Welcome back to the thriving thyroid podcast, where we choose to become empowered patients and take our health into our own hands. Hi, I'm Shannon Hanson, a Christian entrepreneur, a mom of three. And after dealing with my own health mysteries, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about the thyroid. I soon became certified as a holistic wellness practitioner, a functional nutrition practitioner and a functional diagnostic practitioner. And so much more. After that, I founded the revolutionary thyroid program, the Hanon method as a health professional and a mom. I fully understand the importance of having a fun, simple, and sustainable plan for achieving a responsive thyroid. So I share actionable and practical strategies for developing a responsive thyroid so that the ambitious moms and women can gain freedom from fatigue and lose the thyroid weight once. And for all each week, I will be here for you along with my guest experts, we will be sharing simple and tangible tips that work for not only your thyroid, your hormones, your family, and your mindset, so that you can get back to living the life that you envision for yourself. Welcome to the thriving thyroid podcast, (01:32): Right? You guys welcome back. So I'm back. So , it's been a while. I took a vacation with my family to Mexico and it was beautiful and amazing and everything I wanted and more, and it was actually really, really good timing for me. I've been feeling a lot of feelings lately. Some of this I know as postpartum my emotions around six months start to go a little, a little wonky, and you're kind of settling in to the new routine. And I found for myself, it's like all of the adrenaline starts to kind of wear off and things start to settle in. People are still helpful, but not as helpful as maybe they once were when you first had a brand new baby and life can just start to like it changes. I, I don't wanna be even wanna say it's overwhelming because it's not overwhelming. (02:39): It just changes anyways. And then there's been a few things in my business that I'm like, I don't know what to do. I don't know how to handle this. I don't know the direction or the path that I need to be going. And I've really been praying for inspiration and guidance. And I know that God Heley father does not always just hit you over the head with this like profound answer. Usually it's like you, you have to take action and move forward and then begin to discover, Hey, this is, this is a really good choice. Or, Hey, this isn't a good choice. And I I've had an experience lately and I'm not gonna go into the details that other people made choices that affected my business and I've been holding onto some resentment, some hurt, some anger, some frustration. And so anyways, long story short, going to Mexico was perfect and relaxing and allowed me to kind of clear my head and what I think has helped me move forward in a more positive direction and in a way that is also really, really supportive to myself to my family. (04:16): And I think is, is also going to really benefit you guys long term . So I'm not ready to disclose all of the details yet, but the one thing I wanna tell you guys, especially you podcast listeners, we are going to start doing, I don't know, units series segments, where I'm talking about the same topic, but talking about it in a lot of different ways. Maybe diving a little bit deeper into things. It's not gonna be like a part one part two. Maybe some of it will be , but for summer there, this is happening both in the membership coaching program and also inside the Hanon method where people are like, I've lost, you know, 20 pounds, I've lost 30 pounds. I'm starting to feel good, but I've kind of hit this plateau, which is what I've maybe hit in the past. And I just can't overcome this plateau, or I always get to this point and then something happens and I start gaining weight again or whatever. (05:25): And so, and summertime, I think anytime we are in bathing suits or in less clothing, it brings up a lot of feelings and insecurities about our body. And it just kind of brings it to the forefront because we can't hide behind big baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants and sweaters and all the things during, during fall and winter. And it was really interesting today. One of the speakers she spoke about how at church, we, this was at church, she was speaking about how we keep our mind so busy and distracted. And she went into when, you know, when she sits down or whatever it is when she sits down and tries to relax. She's thinking about this exercise routine that she has embarked upon, but it's not really working and she's not feeling comfortable in her body. And you know, when somebody gives her a compliment about, oh, Hey, you look really beautiful. (06:34): She can't accept that compliment because she doesn't feel that way about herself. And these are all of the things. And all of the thoughts that I've been thinking about. Number one for myself, be again, being postpartum. Like my hypothyroidism, my symptoms have flared back up after being in remission for five years. so that's not super fun and that's been very emotional for me and then going to Mexico, being in a bathing suit. And I'm like, oh my gosh, like, things are not the way that they should be. And then couple that with the stress of running a business and all of these different things, I started out heavier than what I wanted to be because of the stress of my business and because of all of these external things. And then as soon as I was like, Hey, okay, I'm gonna, you know, get focused again. (07:30): I'm gonna start eating better. I'm gonna start putting myself on a routine and a regimen to help manage my stress so that my weight goes down. I was pregnant. So a lot of this stuff is not only for you guys as a listener, but also for myself and also for the members that we're working with in inside the membership or in the Hanson method or so on and so forth. Okay. So what I have decided to do, like I said, is we're gonna be talking about weight, weight management, overcoming plateaus, helping you guys to understand maybe some of the steps that you need to take. Now, if you are on Instagram, head over to the thriving thyroid podcast and send me a message, especially in real time, as you guys are listening to this, because I want to hear from you guys where you're at in your journey, we have thousands upon thousands of downloads. (08:37): And I don't know your story. , I don't know your journey when it comes to thyroid. I don't know if a majority of my listeners are diagnosed or undiagnosed or, you know, sometimes, sometimes it's nice to get a little bit of feedback and share a little bit of your story with me and let me know that you are a podcast listener, so I can start to keep track of some of these things. All right. So , let's dive into breakfast. So in some of the emails or in the messages, you can, you can tell me if you're a breakfast eater or if you eat healthy breakfast, or maybe you're just grabbing coffee for breakfast. And, and really in this episode, I want you guys to feel inspired with good breakfast as we will break this down a little bit more in terms of why it's important to have a good breakfast. (09:37): Okay. And if you don't have time, hopefully we will give you some good, easy, healthy grab and go options in the morning because who doesn't run short on time in the morning. I know, I think I plan and prepare and then I'm like, oh yeah, okay. Four kids now. And there's always something , somebody's gotta go to the bathroom. Someone can't find a shoe. Someone breaks a glass, someone. I mean, it's always something, right? So maybe you're ready to ditch the desserts. And I say desserts, but really, I mean the pastries and the things that taste super yummy, but maybe aren't supportive to our thyroid and balancing our hormones, our blood sugar, all of that. So don't worry. We've got you covered in this episode. So there are three must eat breakfast items. And again, this is gonna be sometimes when we have thyroid issues, we have a lot of food sensitivities or imbalances that way. (10:44): And I want you to know that food sensitivities are a sign of dysfunction. We become sensitive to food. When other things in our body isn't working, we should be able to eat eggs, right? We're gonna be talking about eggs. we should be able to eat eggs. No problem. But if your body is in a state of disease, they may be difficult for you to, to eat. All right. So here we go. Let's talk about this. We need to start our mornings off with a good amount of protein in the morning, because this is gonna help with sugar management. It's gonna help with metabolism and it's gonna help with the weight loss. This is because protein helps you feel full or longer and uses up a bunch of calories to absorb and metabolize the food. So you are using energy to break down the food. (11:49): So I'm gonna show you how to get the protein and as well as some veggies and some healthy fats for your soon to be favorite new go-to breakfast. So breakfast is let's start with eggs. So eggs are always a good idea or good thing to eat. Again, unless you have a food sensitivity and I'm happy to maybe chat with you a little bit more one on one on what to do about that and some ideas. So what I'm not talking about here is process egg whites in a carton. Okay. I am talking about the whole egg. So egg whites are mostly protein while the yolks are really a nutrient powerhouse. And I know in baby led weaning and things like that, they actually start feeding babies, egg yolks pretty early on because of the nutritional benefit of, of the yolk. (12:57): They'll mix it with, you know, either formula or breast milk or whatever to break it down and then feed the baby. Okay. so those egg yolks contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats, eggs have been shown to keep you fuller longer and help stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels. Now, if you've been around for a while, you guys know the importance of balancing out those insulin levels to help stabilize other hormones inside the body. So not to mention eggs are super easy to boil a whole bunch of them and keep them in the fridge and grab them and go for breakfast, which you are short on time now, I know this isn't breakfast related, but when we were in Mexico, we were having kind of a difficult time in this area, finding at, at the store we went to, I don't know, my hu. (14:00): I sent my husband and he was struggling to find chicken or meat or something for the week. And he ended up buying, I think, like 18 eggs or something like that. Maybe a little more. I think it was half a dozen. Maybe it was like two. And I don't know, anyways, that's not, not the point, but what we did is yes, we had them for breakfast, but I also boiled them up and we put them on our salad for lunch one day, so that we had a little bit of protein because just lettuce and tomato. And what else do we put on there? Like carrots and cucumbers. Like, that's not gonna keep you full for a really long time. So they can be super easy to add it to salads or other things like that to help give you that extra protein. (14:49): So here's that you guys need to know the cholesterol in the eggs is not associated with an increased risk of heart disease or anything like that. So, one thing that you need to consider is try to prevent cooking the yolks at a high temperature, because that can cause some of the cholesterol in the eggs to be to oxidize. And the oxidized cholesterol is the heart unhealthy stuff. Okay. So oxidation bad you know, cook at a lower temperature for a little bit longer and you avoid that. And that's the same thing for using certain types of oils and things like that. Okay. All right. Number two. Let's keep plugging away here. number two is net N is nuts and seeds. So nuts and seeds contain protein, healthy fats, vitamins minerals, and fiber nuts and or seeds is also a great thing to add or contribute to your breakfast. (16:02): You won't be a, you won't be fooled by candied nuts, right? Sweetened nets and butters or chia cereals with added sugars. I want you to know that I'm talking about real whole unsweetened food here. nuts and seeds are the ultimate fast food when you are running late in the morning. So you can cry, grab a small handful of almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, as you're running out the door and you can munch on them while you are commuting. So not to mention how easy it is to add that spoonful of Nu butter or seed butter into your morning breakfast smoothies. We do smoothies all the time and I will add in pumpkin seeds, cuz they're super high in protein to help get me, give me that little boost of extra proteins along with the healthy fats. So here's another hint for you guys. (17:05): If you like creamy lattes in the morning, try adding, try making one with Nu or seed butter. Just add in your, add your regular hot tea and a tablespoon or two of that creamy Nu or seed butter into your blender and mix it or blend it until it is nice. And Froy my husband loves banana shakes in the morning with some vanilla protein and he adds in peanut butter. He can do things like that as well. All right. Number three, veggies. Yes. You already know you should be getting protein at every meal, including breakfast, but this is, but this also applies to veggies. Okay. You should be adding veggies to every meal because of the fiber, right? Veggies are powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, fiber, and water. And you can't go wrong with adding them all the time. if you don't already do so you should definitely try them with breakfast. (18:19): Going back to the eggs, I have served eggs over like an arugula salad or not a arugula salad or I've, you know, mixed in, what am I trying to say? Like a breakfast ke in the morning, like a restless ke or a Forta or something like that, where you're able to add in some of those greens, maybe some bell peppers, maybe some onions mushrooms and the other really cool thing about doing something like that or a breakfast burrito is you can make big batches of that and keep it in your fridge and warm them up throughout the week so that you're getting in those veggies early in the week. Okay. So you may not feel comfortable about maybe roasting vegetable vegetables and eating those for breakfast, especially here in America. I know we have listeners all over the country or all over the world, but in other countries it is, they don't eat pastries. (19:29): They don't eat donuts. the way we do. They they're going to eat more of a Hardy well-balanced breakfast that may include more veggies or roasted veggies. And that was something for me that I had to transition into. I'll give you an example. So it was really weird for me to think about or hear that people would eat their leftovers from dinner for breakfast. I was like, wait, what? Like you don't eat breakfast food. That was kind of a, an interesting thing. And I remember a, I don't know if it was a coach or a nutritionist many, many years ago was talking about how that's, what they did. And it was a way for them to break the blood sugar imbalances. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. And thinking about it. I, so again, when we were in Mexico, we typically, what we did is we ate breakfast and lunch at the place that we were staying. (20:35): We stayed at an Airbnb and then we would go for dinner somewhere. And the first night we were there, we ate at the resort restaurant and I ordered a ribeye steak and it came with, oh my gosh, the most delicious veggies ever. They were perfectly seasoned. They were heirloom carrots. So they were like the purple and the yellow and the orange. And they were beautiful and they had peppers and I didn't eat the whole ribeye. So I saved the rib. I and I, there were plenty of veggies and things like that. So I actually ended up the next day, reheating the steak. I had that with some eggs cuz it wasn't very much. And I had like an egg and then I had the veggies with it and I was like, this is the best thing ever. I was actually really bummed that my kids ate all of the salsa because I wanted to have some of that with my eggs anyways. (21:39): So think of things like that, where you can incorporate those veggies into your breakfast. Okay. And just also know that you can break, break these breakfast rules and eat leftover veggies or other things for breakfast. Okay. So I'm gonna just quickly share a really simple egg and veggie omelet type deal. So you can use one teaspoon of coconut oil, two eggs, one or two, depending on how hungry you are and then a quarter of a cup of graded zucchini or mushrooms or peppers and some salt and pepper, or maybe some turmeric for anti-inflammatory add the coconut into your frying pan, coconut it on low, put it in a cast iron pan or you know, something along those lines and let that coconut oil melt. And in the meantime you can just grab that bowl, mix eggs up, add in your veggies of choice, your spices, and then pour the egg mixture into the frying pan and cook it up. (23:09): You guys, or you can scramble it. Or if you are really good at making the omelets, you let it cook on that one side on a low temperature and then you can flip it over until it is no longer running you guys. It is super, super easy.

Welcome back to the thriving thyroid podcast, where we choose to become empowered patients and take our health into our own hands. Hi, I'm Shannon Hansen, a Christian entrepreneur, a mom of three. And after dealing with my own health mysteries, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about the thyroid. I soon became certified as a holistic wellness practitioner, a functional nutrition practitioner and a functional diagnostic practitioner. And so much more. After that, I founded the revolutionary thyroid program, the Hanon method as a health professional and a mom. I fully understand the importance of having a fun, simple, and sustainable plan for achieving a responsive thyroid. So I share actionable and practical strategies for developing a responsive thyroid so that the ambitious moms and women can gain freedom from fatigue and lose the thyroid weight once. And for all each week, I will be here for you along with my guest experts, we will be sharing simple and tangible tips that work for not only your thyroid, your hormones, your family, and your mindset, so that you can get back to living the life that you envision for yourself. Welcome to the thriving thyroid podcast. (01:29): All right, welcome back. You guys. Oh, I am on a bit of a vulnerability hangover. So if you follow me on Instagram, thriving thyroid, I yesterday recently shared an Instagram story where I talked about I out, I am currently in a place of feeling very loved and very supported. And I don't think that most people know that you could be this happy. So we recently, my husband and I recently celebrated our 13 year anniversary for some of you guys. Yes, we are babies. And for others of you, we, we got married super young. I was 20, he was 21. I got pregnant with my first, very soon after that, I had her right before my 22nd birthday. And we've had ups and downs, I think like most people, but I grew up in a home with a lot of trauma, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of instability. (02:42): And there was a lot of ups and downs. And I did not realize you could be happy that happiness is a choice. I was told things like, well, what could go wrong is gonna go wrong? You know, my dad was quoting Murphy's law and I grew up with a lot of false beliefs around. If something good happens, something equally as bad or worse has to happen. And so I was constantly for the first, I don't know, 10 years, 11 years of our marriage looking for the bad I was looking for the drama. And my husband always laughed at me for the first several years because it was like every springtime. I was like, Hey, let's buy a new house. Hey, let's, you know, look at what the market is doing. We should look at new houses and he is like, why our house is great. (03:39): And our house was great, but I was always trying to create something in my life. Okay. Hopefully, hopefully some of you guys can relate to that. And I've told this story many times before, but this was such a pivotal moment for me, where my husband was like, we were having a disagreement. I wouldn't even say arguing, we're sitting on the bed, we're not yelling and screaming. And I was just like, if you, if you, you need to, you know, kind of digging into him after work. And he just looked at me one day and was like, will you ever be happy? And of course my stubborn self, I was like, well, of course not, I'm never gonna be happy. But really that was a pivotal moment in my life where I set on a mission to change my life, to find happiness, to find joy, because my happiness, my joy is not related to my husband. (04:45): My happiness and joy is not related to my kids or the house that I live in or the car that I drive or any of these external factors, joy and happiness comes from within. And it took me a freaking long time. to find the joy. It took me a long time to feel happy and it didn't happen overnight. And it didn't change instantaneously by reading one book, I have to do the work every single freaking day to get up and make a decision to be happy. And here's where the vulnerability comes in. Okay. I, I hate even saying this, cuz I'm like, this is public for the whole world to see and hear and you know, do what they want with this. And so hopefully you guys know that this is coming from a place of love. And I thought we were done having kids. (05:53): My husband thought we were done having kids. We were very happy with our three little girls and they were pretty close to perfect life was good. We had just built our new dream home. You know, all of these things are starting to take place and I find myself pregnant and I was like, what is going on? right. I question, God, I question God, because I didn't understand his timing here. I was trying to build a business. I have a multiyear business. So I feel like I'm pretty successful, but I'm also building, I'm still builder things in my business that I'm learning every day. I'm learning how to work with clients. I'm learning how to be more proficient in reading testing, I'm taking new classes, I'm hiring coaches. I am still in this building process and things are kind of bumpy, you know? (06:57): And so here I am finding myself pregnant and I know what kind of mom I am and I know what kind of mom I want to be. And I want to be an actively engaged mom in my kids' life. And that my older kids, I felt like they were pretty self-sufficient if they needed me, they could come into the office and they could, you know, Hey mom, I need this or Hey, can we do that or whatever. And you'll see 'em in my Facebook lives and Instagram stories and all the things, cuz they're very much a part of my life. And you will hear them in multiple podcast episodes, right? Like that is nothing new. hopefully nothing new to any of you guys. And so knowing that and knowing, oh my gosh, I'm gonna have this little baby who is going to need me and is going to be dependent upon me. (07:44): I had no clue how I was gonna do it. So that aside, I also knew that after baby number three, that is when my thyroid, my hormones like fell apart. Like there were hormonal issues prior to that. So that was nothing new, but I felt like they were minor. Okay. After baby number three, I'm like six months, nine months postpartum. I'm still at my birth weight. And I'm like, okay, that was my first clue. I couldn't lose weight. I'm still at like 190 pounds. I delivered her at like, I think just under 200. So I, I mean literally like I hadn't lost any weight. I'm puffy, I'm inflamed. I'm tired. I look back at pictures and I don't even recognize myself. Right? Like I'm just kind of a hot mess and my hair is falling out. And that was what led to the conversation with my mom of like, I just don't feel good. (08:47): I don't know what's wrong with me. And my mom's like, Hey, you should go get your thyroid checked. And I was like, haha, you're funny because I was a practitioner and I thought I knew everything. Apparently I didn't. And my husband will tell you when it comes to myself, I forget what I know but so here I was also going into the pregnancy with that trauma and that fear of, oh my gosh, this is gonna happen all over again. How am I gonna do this? How am I gonna run a business now? How am I gonna have kids? How am I gonna, how am I, how am I, how am I, how am I, how am I all of those? How am I ? And that was really emotionally draining. And I've kind of found myself back in the same situation as before. So here I am four months postpartum. (09:38): Haven't really lost weight. My thyroid hormones are crazy out of balance. And I found myself wallowing in the pity mentally, right about how I look, how my clothes fit. Like let's be honest. None of my clothes are fitting except for my yoga pants. And even when I like walked past the full length mirror, I'm like, oh, that doesn't look very good. And not because it doesn't look good. And if it was a friend, I'd be like, Hey, you look amazing. But because it doesn't look good because it's not my normal, it's not to the standard that I feel like I am worth. Right. And hopefully that's coming across right. But I know better. I know I should be caring for my body better. And I have recently come to the conclusion that I, I was kind of reminded of this, that it's important for me to turn this me mess. (10:43): I'm using air quotes, this mess that I have into my message once again. And it has brought me kind of full circle and back to this is why I started the Hansen method. This is why I started coaching and working with women online was because I knew there were, and there are women like you who don't feel good in their body. They don't feel like themselves, their hair is falling out. They're puffy, they're inflamed. They walk past the mirror and they're like, I don't even know that person. Or they look at into the camera, you know, selfies or whatever. And you're like, wow, that double chin looks really nice. you know, all of these uncomfortable things that we as women are dealing with, this is why I'm doing what I'm doing, because I know there is a flip side. Yes, I know it's gonna take my body a little bit of time to get my hormones balanced and things to get back into working order. (11:42): But I also know how to do it. I know what steps need to take place. I know what triggers I have. with my thyroid. And some of them are hard. I have found myself like I don't really wanna give up my doctor pepper. You know, I don't really want to do this because when I got sick last year, my taste, my not my smell, my taste changed. And I found myself not liking water. And it, it was very hard for me to drink water. Even though though I know all the benefits, I know what to be doing. And I've had to retrain myself into some of these things and being sick and being pregnant was it became more of like, I just have to survive. I just have to get food in my body that is going to keep me and baby moving. And so that meant eating things and doing things that I don't quote unquote normally do because of the situation because of the circumstances. (12:52): And that's kind of the beautiful thing about all of this is now I have the opportunity to get back into the driver's seat of all of this and go back into implementing all of the techniques that I am using and teaching, or I did use inside the handsome method and what I am currently teaching all of my clients to do. And this has resulted in tremendous amount of success for our clients so much so that women are getting off medication with the help of their doctor. I don't take them off medication. Let's be very clear there, but their thyroid hormones are balancing out to the point where they don't. Their body is responding to the thyroid hormone. Okay. Hormones, plural women are losing 30 pounds in 10 weeks or so where they have hit plateaus and they've been struggling to lose weight that we've had women be able to get off other medications, anxiety, medications, depression, medications, they've been able to regain their energy. (14:06): Their hair is stopping, stopping, falling out, stop falling out. Women are balancing their hormones where they're not having painful heavy periods anymore. There are or GI issues. We didn't even talk about GI issues. So they're not gassy. They're not bloated. They're not constipated. They're not backed up. They're body is fully working and operating. They might be experiencing 5%, 10% of their thyroid issues, but 80 to 90% of them have gone away in a very short period of time. Now, the reminder that I have to give all of my clients and even myself, is it didn't take overnight to get where you're at. And it, we cannot expect that it's going to fix itself magically in two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, even, even two months, it's going to take time. And this is why we, I, we, my team and I have extended the program for six months. (15:11): So it, instead of it being four months, it is now six months because a majority of our clients have gone through everything in four months and had life changing things. Now, every once in a while, there is a case or a situation where somebody gets sick or something happens with their loved one or I mean life, right life in general. And they need a little bit more time to go through the program or maybe the results aren't coming as quickly as I think, or my practitioners think or the client things. And so that extra two months is total six months gives us that little bit of buffer, right? A little bit of time to implement things that may be harder for us, for some of our clients they're they don't drink at water hardly at all in their drinking Coke or Dr. Pepper or whatever it is. (16:10): And so retraining those habits to maybe give up the Dr. Pepper and not have it every single day is that may take longer versus somebody who's coming in and drinking a gallon of water, right? That person drinking a gallon of water, no big deal. Okay. We can go on to the next thing, right? Or there there's so many variables. And because I am going through this and because I am having all of the feelings coming back, I have fully recommitted myself to my mission and my purpose of empowering women, helping them balance out their thyroid hormones, helping them become an empowered patient in talking to their doctor, talking to their physician, advocating for themselves, knowing what rights and what options they have, because it is their body. It is not my body, right? It's it is your body. If you come to me and say, Hey, Shannon, this symptom that I'm having is not normal for me. (17:17): We are going to dig into it. And we are going to figure out why that is happening, because I believe every symptom is a sign or a clue as to a deeper issue. So sometimes we have one, I'll give you an example. So I had a client like two years ago, this was a long time ago and she fell down her porch steps and she hurt her back. And then a couple days later, she started having tooth pain. If I remember this correctly and it was a certain tooth and whatever. And we, I was like, I don't know. I have no clue why , you're having tooth pain. Anyways, when we did some investigation, we found out that that tooth is connected to the spine and connected to the alignment. And because there was so much extra inflammation in her spine, it was also manifesting inflammation in that specific tooth who would've thought. (18:20): Right? And so again, if you tell me something isn't normal, we're gonna look into it. I'm gonna talk to my other success, coaches. I, I may not have an answer and I am fully aware that I do not know everyone thing. this is why I continue to do coaching. I continue to do training. I continue to get certifications and improve myself because every little thing I can learn, I can bring to each one of you. Now I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on my personal education in functional nutrition, functional diagnostic, nutrition, holistic practitioner, homeopathy, herbal medicine, all of the different trainings that I have done. And I don't want you guys to have to do that. I want you to be able to skip all of the certifications and just get down to what works for you and for your body. And so you guys, I am super jazzed about this. (19:27): I am opening enrollment for the Hansen method in June. Okay. And I have bonuses that I have never done before. I do not plan to do them again. because I know I'm kind of gonna be losing money, but I'm okay with that because it is not about the money. It is more about my mission to help you as a client and helping you with the skills that I have skip over the mess, skip over the noise and really accelerate your level of healing and hormone balancing and all of the things. So here we go. First off, I am doing $500 off. Okay. That is a big one because I do not run sales. I do not run discounts. If we do any kind of quote unquote promotional thing, it is right before I increase my prices. Okay. So so I have never done that before. (20:30): We're taking $500 off of our program. I'm also going to be giving you guys a new mini course that I have I'm in the process of putting together. It will be done at when, when enrollment happens. But this is if you're what to do, if your labs are normal. So whether you're on medication or not, or trying to get a diagnosis, or you already have one, if your labs keep coming back normal, and your doctor is like, you are fine, I'm gonna be sharing with you what to do, how to handle that, all of those things. Okay. We are also doing functional testing. So when you come in, we're gonna be doing functional testing and without functional testing, we will be building out personalized and individualized protocols for you for the time that we are working together. And I'll be honest. Most of our clients have, depending on how fast their body responds and how compliant they are and all of these external factors that we just don't know, most of our clients have one to three different phases of their protocols while they work with us. (21:43): So phase one is kind of an anti-inflammatory type deal. We're looking at nutrition, we're looking at things that you need for your body. Okay. Then we move into the next phase. So if the next phase is GI stuff, if the next phase is hormonal stuff, is the next phase heavy metal detoxification, all of those different things are gonna be taking in, be taken into consideration as we build out phase two and phase three, okay. Because the body works in phases and it's like, we have to peel back all of the layers and, and stuff. So those with that testing, you get the individual protocol and then guess what it takes time to get the functional testing. Number one, done number two, sent into the lab and the lab to do its testing, and then to get me the report and then for me to review it and then to put together the protocols. (22:41): So all of that, we, we know that that takes time. We know that that takes three to four weeks to get into that habit. And so with that being said, we are going to give you a starter pack of supplements. These are supplements that we have been using for the last two years that are highly, highly, highly effective for women with Amos and hypothyroidism, because they are so balancing and nourishing to the body. And honestly, within like two weeks to two to four weeks, a lot of our clients experience massive results without even getting their customized protocol. Okay. So super exciting. And then the last bonus, and this is the big one, the Yu biggie, biggie biggie. I am going to be coaching you for an additional six months for free. Okay. So let's recap. You get to work with us for 12 months. (23:50): So an extra six months, four, $500 off our original price, plus the testing plus the supplements and that mini course, you guys, this is an incredible deal. Okay. We are going to be starting. The, the start date for this program is June 11th. Okay. It will, the enrollment will end at the end of that week because we want people to be starting at the same time so that you guys are working on the same things and we can support each other. And the other really cool thing is I'm gonna be going back through my own program and revisiting all of these things that I have lost. I don't even wanna say lost some of the things that I know I should be doing for my thyroid, that I'm not currently doing. And I am going to be sharing my journey with you inside the Hanon method. (24:54): I'm gonna be sharing what I'm eating. I'm gonna be sharing. You guys are gonna be kind of my accountability, but also so that you know that you're not alone, that your coaches are walking the walk and talking the talk and doing all of the things that we're telling you to do, because I know that it is that important. All right, you guys, if you are ready to take action, if you are ready to do this with me, if you are pumped up and excited, head over to the show notes, you can schedule a complimentary thyroid breakthrough call with one of our thyroid advisors, and we will review your case and your situation to see if you are a good fit to work with us inside the Hanon method. If you're like hands down, I know this is for me. You can also head over to the show notes and go ahead and purchase the program. (25:45): I do offer a two week money back a guarantee. So if for whatever reason you get in and you decide this isn't for you we will be refunding you the money minus the cost of any testing that you did or any supplements that we have sent you in, in the midst of that or any one-on-one services that we have provided for you. So now is the time take action, take control of your life. You guys, summer is a wonderful time to do that. And a lot of this can be done in summertime, okay. Even amongst the, the traveling and the busy schedules, we're gonna be, I'm gonna be sharing with you what I'm packing and what I'm doing for my vacations, for my road trips, all of that. Okay.

So I don't go crazy. (00:06): Welcome back to the thriving thyroid podcast, where we choose to become empowered patients and take our health into our own hands. Hi, I'm Shannon Hanson, a Christian entrepreneur, a mom of three. And after dealing with my own health mysteries, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about the fibroid. I soon became certified as a holistic wellness practitioner, a functional nutrition practitioner and a functional diagnostic practitioner. And so much more after that, I founded the revolutionary thyroid program, the Hanon method as a health professional and a mom. I fully understand the importance of having a fun, simple, and sustainable plan for achieving a responsive thyroid. So I share actionable and practical strategies for developing a responsive thyroid so that the ambitious moms and women can gain freedom from fatigue and lose the thyroid weight once. And for all each week, I will be here for you along with my guest experts, we will be sharing simple and tangible tips that work for not only your thyroid, your hormones, your family, and your mindset, so that you can get back to living the life that you envision for yourself. Welcome to the thriving thyroid podcast. (01:27): All welcome back to the thriving thyroid. You wanted to something a little bit different because I've really been feeling like I'm missing a part of who I am in the content that I create for you guys. And this is totally my own thing. I have felt scared to share certain parts of me because I'm like, well, it doesn't have to do with health. And you know, really what it comes down to is fear of judgment. I was fearful and probably still am. about what you guys will think of me as a person versus me as a practitioner and coach, but really one of the big things that I've always envisioned for the thriving thyroid podcast, the thriving thyroid business, the same, the wellness business is really what it is, but the umbrella of the, the thyroid is to have my family included in what I do. (02:34): It is really important for me. Family is really important to me and I am putting myself out there a little bit to feel a little bit more vulnerable because if I want a family business, I have to be the change. And I know for the women that I want to work with and the women that I do work with family is also an essential part of why they want to get better and why they want their body to function. They want to, you know, play with their kids. They want to take them to the park. They want to be a fun Nana or grandma or Mimi or whatever you go by. They want to be able to say yes to their kids in babysitting, and they want to have the energy to get down on the floor and play with them and not be in pain or not have to suffer for days afterwards when their body is like, Nope, right. (03:32): So it's really important for me to bring this element into the business as a whole. So with that being said, there might be a little bit more mommy and mindset and things that I have personally done and that I, that work well for me. And if it works well for you, I hope so. I hope so. Hopefully you guys can always take little nuggets and even if you aren't a mom, I hope you guys listen to this because I'm gonna be sharing with you guys more than just that. Right. I, I was talking to my daughter on the way to taking her to school this morning. And she was telling me this story about a friend's mom and how this mom was really stressed out and overwhelmed. And she was like, mom, I just don't understand why they couldn't have planned better. And I, you know, and that would reduce their stress and all of these different things. (04:28): And I was like, you know what, you're absolutely right. But I have to tell you, I was that mom. I was the straight stressed out, crazy mom yelling at my kids. It was all their fault. When really in actuality it was my fault. I was the one that said yes to too many things. I was the one that was stressed out and I let things get under my skin and pile up, or I would procrastinate so long that it was so much for me to take on. And then I would take it out on the people that I love the most. And let's be real here. It's not my kids' fault. It is not my husband's fault. It is my, my responsibility. And this is where taking that personal ownership and that personal responsibility comes into play, right? That is the number one thing that I believe us women and us people as society can do is to be the first person to raise our hand and say, you know what? (05:30): I made a mistake. I messed up and taking that personal responsibility will lead us to having a more healthy life and feeling more fulfilled in our life. So the biggest strategy that I implemented about five years ago, maybe a little longer, maybe a little shorter, about five years ago, maybe it was, I dunno, anyways was I started saying things like, I would love to do that, but let me check my calendar first. And then I would look at my calendar and I would make sure that it was a good fit for that day because what I ended up doing a lot of times is I would say yes, and then I would go home and realize, oh my gosh, I have five other other things to do. Yes, I could fit that in between this time and that time, but I'm gonna be running around like a chicken with my head off, cut off, and I would be stressed out about it or frustrated and upset with other people because somehow it was their fault when it was mine. (06:42): So that was one of the first strategies that I implemented, the second strategy. And I grew up with a, a family that did this. And so it was a matter of me bringing it back. So my mom, we played this game, white tornado. I have never heard of anybody else playing this game. So if you have played this game or heard of this game before, please send me a DM. I would love to know. . So this white tornado is we would set a timer for 5, 10, 15 minutes, and we would run around the house as fast as we could. And we would clean up all of the things. Now, it was such a short period of time. And even for my kids, it's such a short period of time that they're able to keep their attention. And I, there's always some kind of quote, unquote reward for my kids at afterwards, right? (07:35): Once you get done with this, we can go to the park. Once we get done with, you know, if you work really hard for 10 minutes or 15 minutes, then we can go play outside. Or if you do this for 10 minutes, then we can go on a bike ride. If you do this, then this right. And really kind of instilling that into my kids and letting them know that it is important to get the work done, but it's equally as important to go and have fun and play, right? Play is super good for the kids. And so those two things we have gotten out of the habit since little miss has come along and we are getting back to it for summertime, because I was talking to my husband. I'm like, listen, I, in the past pre COVID when the world was opened up and we didn't know anything different every single day during the summer, I had something planned for the kids Monday. (08:34): We did here in Arizona Harkins movie theater, they do like a summer movie passing. It's like 10 bucks and you get eight different movies. And so you get to go every week. And if you can't make it no big deal, but I would take the kids to movies on Monday, and then Tuesday, we would go down to the church and it was just really a bunch of us moms organizing summer activities for our kids. No money was involved. We just rotated who was in charge. And we did that on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, or excuse me, Tuesdays and Thursdays and Wednesdays. We did my family, my kids, and I, we did a wet Wednesday and we would go down to a water park. We bought season passes and we would go hang out at the water park all day on Wednesday. And then Friday was kind of a friend day or a whatever day, maybe get caught up, maybe just hang out at the house and relax or whatever we felt like. (09:30): It, again, here in Arizona, it's super hot. So we have to be kinda resourceful on what we do. for activities outside, inside all of those different things when it's in the middle of July and it's outside. So then COVID shut a lot of that changed. And a lot of the things that we were used to doing were no longer an option. And so once again, we had to recalibrate and get kind of creative. And so this year now that I have baby, I am like, how can we merge and mesh two of these different worlds together? And this is what I've come up with. So I'm gonna share all of that with you. And really a lot of this has to do with making sure that my little baby has a somewhat of a schedule, right. And that she can get into good naps and she's happy and has fun and all of that. (10:30): So what I have decided to do and keep in mind, I have my older three are between the ages of six and 11, but I really think this could be adapted to a lot of different ages. And you guys can, can do what you want. So every day we kind of have a different theme or different activity that we're gonna do. We're gonna be hanging out a little more at the house. for my sanity, with a newborn. At what point do I not call a newborn? I don't know. with a little baby, she's gonna be five, six months around summer time. So Mondays we're still going to the movie theater. And it happens like first thing in the morning, I think like eight o'clock in the morning and maybe eight 30. I don't remember. I'd have to look at the time for sure. (11:27): Between eight and nine, we'll say that is when the movie starts. And then right across the street, we have passes to an indoor trampoline place called urban air. And so I told the kids, if you guys pack your lunches and stuff, I will go to the movie and then I'll take you over there to go jump for a couple hours. And so they can get exercise and get activity and all of that. And then we'll come back to the house and we'll just hang out at the house for the rest of the day Tuesday, we're gonna be doing the church thing. This year we're doing Tuesday and Fridays, I think where we're gonna, again, switch off days. It costs no money and a lot of us moms enjoy us getting together and hanging out and having conversation, but then also getting our kids an activity to do that is a physical activity. (12:21): Then Wednesday we are going to be hanging out with cousins and again, it will be a wet Wednesday. My sister has a pool and we have like a little above ground pool. So we'll just kind of switch off days or weeks, excuse me, where she'll come down here, I'll go up there and just kinda have a relaxing time. So her youngest can get a nap. My baby can get good naps. And just have it like super chill. Then on Thursday grandma, honey, isn't nothing through this thing ever. That is my husband's mom. She is going to be taking the kids to do crafts and activities, and my kids love hanging out with their parents and it it'll be perfect. Right. It'll be super nice for me to also have a relaxing day. And, but we have some kind of structure to our week. (13:13): So we have planned out activities and my kids that have what somewhat at the schedule and a routine, so they know what to plan on. Okay. In addition to that, we're also gonna be home and there is a need for activities and structure because I find my kids when they don't have structure, one of two things happen either they wanna watch TV all day or two, they get on each other's nerves and they just start bickering. And then I lose my ever loving mind because I'm like, can you just please not, like seriously that wasn't necessary. You know, that kind thing. And so we are going unquote, summer and background. (14:25): I'm going have a station set up and different units. I find for some of my kids, some of these units they will play for and do this for like two weeks. And then other times they might do it for like three days and then we can rotate through. So what I have decided to do is come up with several different units and as the summer goes along, we can vote on which one we want to do next. Or as I see them kind of winding down, they can say, oh, Hey, this would be really fun to set up. So here are some ideas. One of the units is going be a painting unit. And so I will do it with them. We will watch different videos and try out a lot of different painting techniques. So watercolor acrylic stuff, those diamond paintings, even though it's not technically painting. (15:21): I figured we might be able to put that in there. Those little diamond things. And again, I don't have super young kids so they can manage those diamond paintings and we just have such a good time with them. We're gonna do a sewing unit. I think it's really important for my kids to learn basic sewing skills. And so we're gonna practice making again, will kind of vote on it. But some of my ideas I wrote down were pillow cases, skirts, pajama, pants, things like that. Then we're gonna have a week of science experiments. We'll do a whole bunch of research, we'll find experiments and, and try out a lot of different things that are age appropriate and my husband is really great at stuff like that. And so he, he will help facilitate that, I think a little bit. (16:15): And then we're also gonna be doing a lot of sensory play. I am a, a, a lover of sensory play. I think it's super fun. I found this recipe on Pinterest. I think it, they called it like whipped bubbles or something like that, where you use your KitchenAid and it's so much soap to so much water and food coloring, and you basically make this foam of water and bubbles, and it just looked super fun to play with. So that's something that we will do is do some just different sensory play, whether that's slime or something. And let me give you a little secret or a little nugget. What I have done in the past is I have gone to the dollar store or Walmart, or just somewhere is super cheap, where they have those plastic shower, curtains. Again, you don't need anything expensive or anything like that. (17:11): And I put that on the ground, underneath the painting activities underneath the sensory play, whatever could potentially make a mess so that I don't have to clean up. I can literally ball it up. I can take it outside. I can shake it off, or I can spray it off with a hose. Like I want minimal cleanup for me. And I also tell my kids, like, you need to stay, you know, on this thing so that there doesn't end up being paint or whatever, whatever messes that are , they could potentially be in getting all over the house. And we're also going to be doing a cooking unit, and we're going, this is gonna help out. So here you go, moms we are doing some freezer meals. We're gonna be doing cookies and pretzels. Again, we're gonna kind of vote on it and see what they want to do during that time, but I'm gonna try to keep these things nutritious and also help them take some personal responsibility for dinners. (18:21): What do you guys wanna eat for dinner? Okay, let, this is something we could prep in the freezer so that we can spend more time playing this summer. And I think framing it that way, my kids will be more on board cuz they're like, heck yes, I wanna play all summer long. We're gonna have a Lego unit. We came up with some other ones and then I don't remember what they are. So , those are the summer units now last but not least. One of the things that we have also done is we have signed up our kids for some summer camps through our local city and my two middle kids. That's so weird for me to say my two middle kids are gonna do a cheer camp. It's a week long for four hours, three days a week or four days a week for just a week. (19:14): So it's like 12 hours total and they get to go learn cheerleading stuff. My older daughter has decided she wants to try out softball and those were relatively inexpensive. And so we're gonna, we're gonna incorporate those activities into our schedule as well to get them just out of the house, doing something, being active making new friends, all of those wonderful things. And my oldest does have some church camp that she is gonna go to for three days, you know, and then of course we're gonna do other quote unquote, bigger activities. I told my kids every other week, we'll, we'll go do a big-ish activity. Like the aquarium or something. That's gonna be maybe an all day activity and we'll just kinda work it in. Maybe we'll miss one of the church activities to make it happen. Okay. So here's another little tidbit and I debated on whether or not to share this, but I feel like this might help some moms . (20:25): So this is the first time that we are doing this. I, in order to help take stress off of me, I told my husband, okay, well let me back up and, and share this with you. Before I dive into this, we do not pay our kids for chores. Okay. We fully expect them to help with dishes. After dinner time, we expect them to clean up their rooms and help keep the bathrooms clean and clean baseboards and all of those things when needed. So they don't, we don't pay for that kind of stuff. We do pay for extra, extra air quotes here extra things if they want to earn money. So if they come to me and say, Hey mom, I want extra money to buy such and such toy. Great. Absolutely. They can come to me and say that and ask, you know, what can they do? (21:24): And so we will pay for extra chores. You know what I really made the bathroom cleaned. If you clean the bathroom, I'll pay you X amount of dollars. The horses, not the horses, we don't have horses. The cow stalls area needs to be cleaned up. If you go clean that up, I'll pay you X amount of dollars. And so on and so forth. And what I have really trained, and we are totally not perfect at this at all. but what we are really working towards and we've had many conversations with our kids is we want them to get to the point where they can see dishes in the sink. They can see that the trash can is full and they go ahead and just take it out or they go ahead and they clean it up, whether it's theirs or not, because ultimately these kids are going to grow to be adults. (22:17): And I don't ha I, as an adult and my husband as an adult, do not have someone else in our life. That's like, Hey, the dishes need to be done. Hey, you need to vacuum the floor. And so we want to be raising kids that are capable of looking at something, oh, the trash needs to be taken out. Okay, here we go. Or tomorrow it's trash day, I'm gonna go gather up all the trash in the house and just start all over again. And those are skills that we have developed as adults and hopefully growing up so it wasn't as much of a shock for us when we grew up. And so that's really the idea and the, I guess the methodology of how we are raising these children. So with that being said in the past, I have, my kids are like, mom, the let's go to the aquarium and I would pay for everybody this summer. (23:23): We have decided to do something a little bit different. And so I be paying my children a little bit of money to do their summer reading. So read 20 minutes a day and they ha each one of my kids has individual goals. One of them wants to improve their spelling. Another kid wants to get faster at reading and one of them wants to get more fluid in her reading. So not my six year old wants to be able to blend the sounds a little bit quicker and read more quickly. And so every day they're gonna be Monday through Friday, they're gonna have to do a lesson or two on their specific goals so that they can improve their, I guess, third literacy for their next school year. And this is something as a parent that we are just hoping to facilitate. So there will be a few requirements like that. (24:25): And if meet those marks every day one of the things is, so let's say we go to the movie, my kids will be like, Hey mom, let's get popcorn and drinks and candy and all of the things and in the past, yeah, cool. Whatever you want, grab whatever you want. Well, what I have decided is more important is that they learn how to budget their money. And, you know, I will, I bought the movie tickets. I will buy the drink cups that they can refill. And if they want a drink, they can pay the dollar or $2. Or I think it's two, a dollar, something like that to fill it up and either they can share and have it, or they can pay for their own. So some of the responsible for paying all of it or half of it again, just depending on what the activity is, and this is baby is talking. (25:55): So I'm going to let you go. Hopefully you guys found some nuggets in here and we'll give you an opportunity to open up some of the discussion for, with you and your spouse and maybe your kids on what is going to help you have a successful summer that is going to feel fun and relaxing and not stressful. because I think that is an important thing as we are working on our thyroid and our health is learning how to manage the stress and manage expectations. Yes. This is going to take time to plan out. Yes, this is going to take multiple conversations. We still haven't nailed everything down, you know, between my husband and I, but we are starting to get a blueprint and working towards finding solutions for our kids over summer so that they can be happy and I can be happy and it can be a good experience for all of us. (26:56): All right. I'll see you guys on the next, before you go. I wanted to remind you our open enrollment for the Hansen method is coming up very, very soon.

Hi, I'm Shannon Hanson, a Christian entrepreneur, a mom of three. And after dealing with my own health mysteries, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about the thyroid. I soon became certified as a holistic wellness practitioner, a functional nutrition practitioner and a functional diagnostic practitioner.

And for all each week, I will be here for you along with my guest experts, we will be sharing simple and tangible tips that work for not only your thyroid, your hormones, your family, and your mindset, so that you can get back to living the life that you envision for yourself. Welcome to the thriving thyroid podcast. Speaker 2 (03:06): Welcome back to the thriving thyroid podcast. You guys, I have Ben brown with me. I am so excited to be having this conversation with him as we are gonna be talking about nutrition and fitness and how that relates to just lifestyle and how to use those things to improve energy. All of, all of the things. So Ben welcome. Speaker 3 (03:28): I'm happy to be here. Thank you for having me Shannon. Speaker 2 (03:31): Yeah, absolutely. So give everybody a little bit of background as to who you are, what you do. Speaker 3 (03:38): Yeah, absolutely. So we have a company called BSL nutrition that stands for body systems labs and we are a fitness and nutrition and kind of supplement coaching company. We've got a number of different supplement products, but most importantly is we are a kind of a nutrition driven coaching company and we believe that your health determines your freedom. And so by virtue of that, we wanna give people the tools and the skills and the knowledge to be able to not only reach their health and fitness and lifestyle goals, but also to be able to maintain those for life. And, and so just in terms of background, I have a couple different master's degree, one in exercise physiology, another one in clinical nutrition. And so I I've been involved in, in strength and conditioning for athletes. I've been involved in physical therapy for just the general population and a long line of personal training with individuals over years and years, and then starting to really study more about nutrition and the implications of nutrition on our health, on our wellbeing on our you know, community and so on and so forth. Speaker 3 (04:45): And so what we've done with our, our coaching program now is really leveraged the best pieces of the fitness of the nutrition of the lifestyle coaching to try and create individualized programs for someone depending on their goals. Speaker 2 (04:59): Yeah. Were you always like an athlete or did the, that kind of shift for you later? Or what, what was that journey like for you? Speaker 3 (05:09): You know I did grow up a bit of an athlete. I I'll albeit not a great one. But by virtue of, of going through sports so in high school I tore my ACL which got me really, really interested into the physical therapy process and into the sport performance process. And then similarly is I suffered from a number of gastrointestinal issues when I was 15, 16 and beyond to the degree that I was very limited with the types of foods I could eat, I was getting sick all the time. I was in a number of different an acid medications, and the doctors couldn't really figure out what was going on with me. And so that also led me to really starting to try and understand how my nutrition impacted my health, right. And through the years of studying undergrad and I actually played rugby for university of Arizona undergrad. Speaker 3 (06:06): And then I went to Arizona state university for graduate school for exercise physiology or exercise and wellness, and continued to play some, some higher level men's club rugby. But throughout that process, I was, I was obviously personal training. I was studying fitness and then I really had to continue to dig deeper, deeper into the realm of nutrition and clinical nutrition and diagnostic nutrition, and supplementation, as a means to frankly, just figure out my own issues. And fortunately, I was able to do that. It took you, I wasn't until about 2006, 2007, that I figured out that I had some nasty bacterial infections going on in my stomach, that I had a number of different food sensitivities that were going on. And so by virtue of kind of healing, those, it helped me venture off into into our, our nutrition coaching program as it stands today. Speaker 2 (06:57): Yeah. So how did you find out that you were having those issues? Food sensitivities, and you said gut pathogen, so like a microbiome issue. So how did, did you do functional testing or how did, how did you kind of land on that? Speaker 3 (07:14): Yeah, great question. So obvious I went the, I guess the route of academia, I went and got a master's degree in exercise and wellness and, you know, we think we're gonna learn all of the things that we need to do our job appropriately. And it's not that way. I didn't, I mean, again, I was involved in sport performance. I was involved in personal training, but I still couldn't figure out what was going on with me. And then at the same time, I was working with a number of clients whose goals were to improve their energy, to to experience fat loss, right. To improve their performance and so on and so forth. And we know the role that nutrition plays in that yet the, the training alone wasn't getting the job done. And so I, I really needed to continue to study. And so I started doing advanced different advanced certifications. Speaker 3 (08:04): I studied through the check Institute. I studied through Charles Quin. You name it. I mean, I was just trying to learn everything I possibly could about nutrition and the implications on health and wellness. And, and I was introduced to a clinician in San Francisco named Dr. Dan Kish. And again, this was in 2006, so this was at the very forefront of the sort of functional medicine revolution. And I signed up for a six month kind of intensive functional medicine certification course. And that really led me down the road of, okay, thyroid function adrenal fatigue, gut function organic acid profiles and understanding how all of these biological organisms and body systems. And, and, and really that was the impetus for, I haven't thought it's funny. I haven't thought about this stuff in a long time, but that was really the impetus for how I came up with the name body systems as my business, because really what we were doing is we were looking at all of these different body systems, right. Speaker 3 (09:13): We were looking at the adrenals and the liver and the gut and, and, and the thyroid and the musculoskeletal system and the brain. Right. And trying to understand all of the nuances of how they're all intertwined. But by virtue of the functional medicine course that I took, we did a you know, a gut pathogen test. I tested positive for H pylori, which is a bacterial infection that houses itself in your stomach lining and can be a really, really nasty infection that can suppress stomach acid and, and cause a host of other issues. So I think it was a product of that and conjunction with just poor eating habits, too much partying in college. And, and, and frankly, growing up, having just been exposed to tons and tons of different antibiotics, like my parents were always the, the people that are like, oh, he's, he's got the sniffles, put him on an antibiotic, you know, and yep. Speaker 3 (10:05): I think which a lot of us a lot of us were perhaps growing up in the eighties and nineties. And so there was a lot of work to be done once that was diagnosed. It was really starting to wind the clock back, take herbal products, to get rid of the pilori start to heal my gut, the mucosal barrier, get rid of gluten and dairy and some of the offensive foods at the time to allow that process to happen. And then just start to figure out how to be my own best nutrition detective from there on out. Speaker 2 (10:36): I love this and I can totally relate to the antibiotics . So I grew up in a family of like physicians and doctors. My dad is an O he was, he passed away an OT. But his brother was a podiatrist and had access to all kinds of pharmaceuticals. So it was like, oh, your throat is scratchy here. You know, we'd have here's Speaker 3 (10:59): Amoxicillin. Speaker 2 (10:59): Yep. Yes. We had the, you know, the big pharmacy pill bottles with, you know, thousands of them. And so it was like, oh, anytime, like you said, the sniffles and the throat, here you go. Here you go. so, yeah. Yep. Definitely leading to that imbalance in the gut. One of the things that I find really interesting about what you talk about in your work is nutritional seasons. So how does that relate to approaching our health weight loss in a realistic way? Speaker 3 (11:34): You know, what's so important that I've come to realize over the years because I've been doing this you know, I've been coaching individuals really since 2003, 2004, 2005. That's when I was in graduate school. And then of course as a full-time business, really since then is that we can't ever take just this myopic one size fits all approach to our nutrition now to be fair, most people most for, for most people, let's just say they, they come and see us and, and they wanna lose weight. Well, that's all good and well, and there's certainly things that we need to focus on in order to help them move the needle. And, and clearly there's, you know, improving their nutritional intake and the quality of food and the amount of movement that they're doing and the type of movement that they're doing and their lifestyle and their stress management and their sleep. Speaker 3 (12:25): But the reality is that there also needs to be like I said, there needs to be seasons to how aggressive we are and what we're focusing on these respective seasons. And so, whereas they might show up with a weight loss goal, for example, you work with women with thyroid dysfunction, right? And so you might be presented with a woman who is experiencing low thyroid, and she's been consistently under eating for a significant period of time. And perhaps she's been over exercising and she has extremely stressful lifestyle and maybe she doesn't sleep enough and maybe she's got some gut dysbiosis. This probably doesn't sound like a terribly unfamiliar picture for you. Speaker 2 (13:11): No, not at all. I would say like 90%, Speaker 3 (13:15): The way that right. Exactly. And, and that's often, right. That's, it's why the hypothyroid is present to some degree. Now what we're gonna do is, is, is invariably is we're not just gonna take someone like that. We're gonna say, well, you know what, you're only eating 1200 calories. So let's just, let's just knock you down to a thousand calories, right? Because it's all about calories and calories out that would be illogical. And we would end up further pushing her down you know, down the down the rabbit hole of dysfunction, right? Any good practitioner is gonna look at that list of issues and, and kind of her lifestyle dysfunction and say, you know what, before we go there, bef what we need to do is we need to create balance in the body. And so the first season for her, perhaps the first quarter, or maybe even six months of her program might very well be, you know what? Speaker 3 (14:09): We actually need to do everything we can to support your metabolism, to support your thyroid. We need to get you eating more frequently. We need to get you eating more nutrient dense food. We need to get you to understand that carbohydrates are your friend. We need you to get you to sleep more. We need you to get you manage your stress. And so it's really understanding that there's so many nuances to this journey that someone's on to the degree, that by first and foremost, assessing what right, where they are, what their goals are, what their current lifestyle habits look like, what their readiness and commitment level for change are by virtue of then understanding all of those. Then we can come up with a game plan, just like we were training for an event, just like we're training for the Olympics, or the super bowl is to say, we wouldn't expect an athlete to come out and perform at their peak level on day one of training camp. Speaker 3 (15:02): We're gonna have to build them up. And so it's that same idea as when we have clients come to us, you know, men and women, mothers, and fathers come to us and they say, you know what? I wanna lose the weight. Well, we need to understand, well, what's gonna be the best for them in the context of their long term goals, say, I'm gonna make sure that when you walk away from this program, not only are you gonna be the leanest that you've ever been at at, at any point, certainly during this program, but you're also gonna be eating the most amount of food you're gonna have the most energy, your hormones are gonna be the most aligned, right. And you're gonna have all of the tools and skills to be able to maintain that for a lifestyle while also understanding that, you know what, the first three months we actually had to get you eating significantly more to help support metabolic function, or maybe we needed to help support lean muscle mass for that period of time, or maybe it was just the holidays. Speaker 3 (15:57): And for people that are signing up right now, or maybe signed up, you know, around Thanksgiving, the last thing we're gonna do is diet them down during perhaps the most difficult time of year for anyone to be in a diet. Right? So I think it's, that's the idea around this, what we call nutritional periodization or nutritional seasons or nutritional cycling is understanding that there's gonna be periods where we're gonna diet. Sure, absolutely. Invariably it is necessary to create a calorie deficit if we're looking to lose weight, lose body fat, but it doesn't mean that we don't need to spend periods of time in a growth phase, in a maintenance phase, in a quote unquote metabolic repair phase. Right. It's just understanding that when we project out for however long, the goal is, or however long the journey's gonna look like we need to make sure we're, we're approaching the right things at the right time. Speaker 2 (16:52): Yeah. I, I like that. So speak to metabolism because I feel like that is one of the words that's kind of thrown around in health and wellness and can be really confusing for people, especially when especially for women, because I feel like what, what you're kind of speaking into is they're at 1200 calories and they're doctors like, Hey, cut your calories and they're gaining more weight, they're getting more puffy, they're getting more inflamed. So maybe, maybe speak into that a little bit for us. Speaker 3 (17:27): Yeah. I appreciate how you, the, the example you just gave, because the way that I like to think about it and the way that I was taught and one of the, one of the mentors I've had throughout my career as Dr. Jade TIDA, who's, who's really brilliant with sort of looking at the metabolism and, and the functions of the metabolism, but essentially what we're talking about is a stress barometer. Mm-Hmm right. And so when we do things that are stressing, the body out is the body's gonna respond in certain way. Now this has to do with our body temperature. It has to do with our ability to, to burn body fat. It has to do with our gut health. It has to do with our blood sugar regulation. It has to do with our weight and how we are manipulating fluids on a daily basis. Speaker 3 (18:13): All of these things come from our brain function from our get health function. And I would say that all of these work together to create this quote unquote this metabolism, this, this stress barometer. And so one of the things to understand is when we push on the metabolism, when we go out and we do a, a a spin class, when we go do a boot camp a boot camp workout class or something, that's really high intensity our body's gonna respond because you know, we're obviously gonna burn some calories during this workout, but what we don't, what we don't acknowledge in the realm of exercise is that the metabolism is gonna push back to the degree that what the body really cares about is survival, right? It cares about maintaining blood sugar levels. It cares about maintaining body temperature. It cares about procreation and keeping you alive. Speaker 3 (19:06): Now, when we go and do things that are stressful on the body. So it's not just exercise, but it's also under reading is a, is a stressor on the body, just our daily lifestyle, being surrounded by cam you know computers and phones and the news and the kids yelling, right, and waking us up early and all of our financial obligations and work. These are all stressors that put us into this, this level of sympathetic nervous system overload, which in and of itself is a major stressor, but what's important to understand is the body has an adaptive and sort of reactive response to all of these things, because it cares about survival. So when we push one way, it has a very unique and complex system for pushing back the other way, right? To the degree that when we go and do that boot camp, high intensity, you know, huffing and puffing and sweating and in a puddle of sweat just done. Speaker 3 (19:59): So after the workout that we think is so great for us, well, what we know now from the research is that one of the, and actually a couple of the unique mechanisms that the body undergoes is almost a down regulation of metabolic function, right? To the degree that we can suppress our meat, which is our non-exercise activity thermogenesis. So basically all that means Shannon is that when we go do stuff that burns a lot of calories, depending on what it is that we're doing, our body has the ability to say, you know what, dude, we don't know how we're gonna, if we're gonna be taking in enough calories later on, we're gonna make you slow down, right? We're gonna make you more tired and we're gonna make you more lethargic. We're gonna make you less likely to just fidget and Twitch and, and, and want to get up and, and go to the refrigerator or, or fill up your water cup or go over to the water cooler or whatever. Speaker 3 (20:54): And not only that is, we may actually make you hungrier by a virtue of the calories that you just expended, right. To the degree that you might crave more foods. And, and what we see from the research is that when we do these types of high intensity exercise most people end up making up those calories and then some throughout the rest of the day and or throughout the rest of the week. So that's one small example of the metabolism at work. But essentially that's what we're talking about is, is just this highly dynamic reactive mechanism that helps the keep the body in homeostasis. Hmm. Right. Does, does that answer your question? Speaker 2 (21:37): Yeah, absolutely. And part of my reason for asking this, and I I've talked about this multiple times on the podcast and then, you know, webinars and things. I, one of the big mistakes that I made early on was I was trying to lose the weight and I wi I did all the things that you're supposed to do. I went to the gym, I hired a personal trainer. I was in the gym five days a week. I was cutting calories. And that first month when we're taking measurements and doing weight and checking in, and I gained 10 pounds, I gained inches . And I was like, Speaker 3 (22:14): Interesting, Speaker 2 (22:15): What is going on with me? And that was the big clue for me that my hormones were way off balance. And I remember my personal trainer, he is a guy probably didn't know much about women's hormones. at no offense to him. But he was like, well, you didn't go up that much. And I'm thinking 10 pounds, no wonder my clothes are fitting terribly. Speaker 3 (22:39): You'd have been devastated. Had you gone up two pounds, especially after all that hard work. And I think it's a perfect example, not to interrupt you, but I think it's a perfect example of how the body pushes back against stress mm-hmm and understanding that it's not always about just reducing your calorie intake. And it's certainly not always about ramping up your exercise and sometimes doing the two of those simultaneously, depending on where you're at, especially if it's like postpartum, when you already have enough stress to deal with, and your body's recovering can create can, can just create a cascade as you're experiencing of issues of inflammation, of suppressed thyroid function, suppressed what we call metabolic compensation, or sort of metabolic down regulation if you will. Speaker 2 (23:26): Yeah. Yeah. And that's exactly what I was experiencing at that time. And you did talk about briefly about the adrenal portion. And so for me, after having that experience, I went, whoa. Something is way, way off. And I went in, started having hormones tested, and my cortisol was super, super low. It was very, very low. It was, I was kind of in that burnout phase, Speaker 3 (23:52): You would, did salivary salivary cortisol. Speaker 2 (23:55): I did. Yes. Speaker 3 (23:56): Yeah. So you were in like a stage three or like at all the way down. Yeah. Past the level where you you'd experienced periods of high cortisol almost in this, as you said, burnout stage. Speaker 2 (24:07): Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was at it. Most people probably won't understand what this means. You probably will. I was at 0.02, so I was like nothing. So , it was a very fun time for me. And I had to really do a lot of like what you're talking about, changing my diet, going back to just walking for movement, you know? Yes. And hitting that nutritional season to get further ahead, Speaker 3 (24:39): Of actually feeling yourself, giving yourself the right nutrition, allowing your body to stay in a parasympathetic or a, a rest and digest phase to mitigate the amount of sympathetic stressors so that you can recover so that your adrenals can recover so that your blood sugar can recover. Right. So you can drive the nutrients, improve gut health, right. Brain function, and sort of that whole hypothalamus, pituitary access reset if you will. Yeah. Mm-Hmm . Yeah. And that's what most people don't understand is we, they just think, okay, well, look, we're coming up on the new year. Okay. It's time to diet. It's time to grind it. It start over exercising. And it's really just for a lot of people it's backing 'em into a corner because they're already in a state of, of sympathetic overload. So one of the things we do with in, in our, in our coaching program is, is we actually don't even start with structured exercise, structured strength training. Speaker 3 (25:31): We just start with observing nutritional habits, lifestyle factors, and walking. And it, it doesn't even matter. I mean, we have people that are in, are already coming in, in great shape. But the reality is that most people are in some level of, of stress overload. And, and, and then also, as I was alluding to in explaining the metabolism is exercise is not a good driver of weight loss. Mm-Hmm , we already understand that very clearly from the research. And so it, it would be illogic for us to just blast someone, even though people want it, like they think they wanna go in and, and start doing all of the things, all of the exercise, but who would be iLogic and, and unreasonable and irresponsible for us to do that. Instead as we know the big needle movers for people, whether they understand it or not, and whether they're resistant to it or not, it's gonna be, you know, what, let's figure out where your calories are. Let's figure out what your lifestyles are, and let's identify the low hanging fruit. Maybe we just need to move more right from walking. Maybe we just need to drink more water. We need to get better nutrition in manage your calories more effectively and give you the opportunity to actually de-stress before we go into the season of, okay, let's, you know, start driving the strength training. Speaker 2 (26:43): Yeah. I, I really appreciate this. So for the way that you work with people is you mentioned something about kind of evaluating where people are at before diving into a whole plan. So give us a little bit of idea as to like, how do you get a baseline for people Speaker 3 (27:02): Mm-Hmm yeah, we I've developed a whole process called what I call the pure science proven results process, which is a very clear cut methodo excuse me, methodical system that we put together over the last several years by virtue of frankly spending years and years, not getting people the results that they deserve and learning the hard way of saying, okay, we did this, we did the 30 day fast tracks. We did the detoxes. We did the, the 12 week plan. So not all of our coaching programs are minimum of six months. And most clients stay on for at least a year again, because we're identifying that there's gotta be seasons to change, but the way that we understand what someone's really gonna need is by doing a complex and in depth assessment. And, and so through this process, through this pure science proven results process, we collect data, both objective and subjective data Shannon. Speaker 3 (27:52): And so what that looks like is really very simply it's like, Hey, can you track your calories for a couple weeks? Just so we have an understanding of how much you're taking in, because, you know, we understand that one is when you are tracking, you are going to make better decisions. Yeah. Right. So you've already got built in accountability right there. You're already like, Hmm, probably shouldn't have that second glass of wine. I probably shouldn't grab that second handful of M and Ms or whatever. Right. And secondly, is that you are creating more awareness by virtue of the process you're starting to acknowledge. Wow. I didn't realize like how many calories wine was. I didn't realize that, you know, the, the butter on my toast in conjunction with the orange juice in conjunction with the, the pastry that I have every morning ends up being 700 calories. Speaker 3 (28:45): Right? Yeah. So we're giving you the opportunity and the autonomy to start to identify some needle movers on your own to allow you to start to make better decisions. In addition to calories, we track steps. We track hours of sleep. And then we, we, we do, depending on what someone's goals are, we wanna know what's going on with weight on a daily basis. And what's going on with circumference measurements every couple weeks. Because as you know, and as we know, based on the metabolism and how the body functions is, it's always in regulation, it's always trying to maintain homeostasis and there's always levels of, of fluctuations around fluid. So if, and when you do weigh yourself I'm sure as, as, as yourself and plenty of your female clients have observed that if they've ever weighed themselves on a daily basis you're gonna see that weight constantly fluctuating, right? Speaker 3 (29:38): Yeah. And, and that's for a myriad of reasons having to do with certainly not only fat loss, but having to do with menstrual cycle, having to do with carbohydrated intake, having to do with salt, alcohol intake previous food, sensitivities, food sensitivities, thank you, stress levels all of those types of things. And so we find that that's a very good metric. It's not the end all be all, but it's one good objective metric for us to keep an eye on, to help the individuals start to become their own best nutrition detective, to understand, you know, what, every time I eat that spaghetti sauce, the, the scales up a couple pounds. Isn't that interesting? I don't know if it means anything, but it's certainly an interesting observation. And then subjectively is what we call biofeedback things like hunger, energy, cravings, mood, libido, digestion, cognitive function, right. Speaker 3 (30:30): If we're talking about thyroid, this is everything. These are all of the things that our hormones are going to influence. So we need to understand that one of the things that we see frequently, Shannon is by virtue of giving someone the opportunity to actually de-stress to say, you know what? We're just not gonna worry about tructure to exercise right now. I just want you to walk. I just want you to drink water. I just want you to maybe eat three square meals a day or four square meals a day. One of the things we see, especially with women like your clients, is we start to see that hunger starts to come back, you know, whereas they might have been like, you know, I just never hungry for breakfast. Like I just wait till 10 or 11 or 12, and cuz I'm running around with the kids and, and I'm just not hungry. Speaker 3 (31:20): And then one of the things we start to see is, you know what, I'm starting to identify that I'm experiencing hunger mm-hmm . And despite the fact that the scale's not moving, we're actually starting to see that body composition is changing. You're perhaps becoming less inflamed, retaining less fluids, retaining less water. You're starting to have more energy. You're starting to think more clearly sleep quality is improving. Libido's starting to come back, right? These are all fantastic signs that the body's actually starting to heal and, and, and respond effectively from this process. And so this is what we call kind of part of our onboarding or calibration period, right. Where we're just getting an idea, Shannon of what you typically do right throughout the first few weeks of the program by, and then based on that, then we can make informed decisions around, okay, what's gonna be the biggest needle mover that we can plug in with the least amount of resistance. Speaker 3 (32:16): You're a busy mom of soon to be four, right? Yeah. For me to say, Hey, Shaheen, I need you to eat six meals a day and I need you to hit, you know, 170 grams of protein a day. And you'd be like, I don't know what your current habits look like. But the point is, is say there's no cookie cutter approach. It's like, we need to understand what your lifestyle, what your eating habits look like, so that we can start to plug things in that are gonna be easy for you to, to plug in consistently. Speaker 2 (32:47): Yeah. I remember working with a naturalpathic doctor and he kind of did something similar to you where he is like, I need you to do all of these things. And I just looked at him and I was like, I, there's no way, like I had three kids five and under, and I was like, I'm gonna need a full time. Live-In nanny and a housekeeper to try to do this thing. And I'm already running on fumes, you know, that's it. And we have a similar process where when our clients come in, we evaluate, you know, very similar, how your sleep, how are your bowel movements? Yeah. How stress levels, what are you eating? How frequently are you eating? What types of things are you eating? and then like you said, Hey, some of the women that are coming in to work with us, aren't even eating, you know, let's say three servings of vegetables. Mm-Hmm , that might be an easy thing to change and incorporate just, just a little bit more veggies, first thing in the morning or whatever it is. And that will make yeah. A big impact, you know, Speaker 3 (33:54): A hundred percent. So I that's, it, it, it love it. It's just so important to meet someone where they are, I've been doing this long enough. And it it's interesting because when I first figured out what was going on with me and, and I'm sure you've been down this road, but it's like, you have the, you know, golden ticket. It's like, I know what to do. I fixed myself. Therefore, this is what should work for everyone. And to be clear, I was like a hundred percent gluten free, a hundred percent dairy free paleo, like, you know, and so I'm sitting here preaching this to new clients. I'm like, you gotta eliminate we're, I'm gonna come over. We're gonna clear out the cabinets. And people are just like, whoa, whoa. Like this is overwhelming. Right. And I'm like, yep. Well, and then I would lose. And then they would, you know, I wouldn't hear from 'em again. And I'm like, well, they clearly were not committed enough to the process. When in reality it was a hundred percent my fault for not understanding the psychology of how people really actually change. Speaker 2 (34:51): Yeah. Yeah. The I can relate to that so much where I was gluten free, dairy free for five years, a hundred percent, you know, it very similar to you, paleo. That was kind of the big thing at the time when I started my journey, when I started my journey. And then I got to the point where I was like, this sucks, like sucks. I even hate this. Yeah. You know, and having to shift a little bit and find you know, just a happy medium where I felt like I was supporting my body and I was happy with the things that I was doing and I wasn't burning myself out. And you know, all of, all of those wonderful things. Yeah. In kind of like in starting to wrap this up, then what are some great places for these women to start? If they're struggling, you know, just maybe getting motivated or, you know, restoring their mm-hmm, their metabolism, Speaker 3 (35:50): You know what, Shannon, I think that it's really, really important for someone to identify what they really want and why they want it not to get too meta or or anything. But I, I, what I've experienced in, in having hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of conversations over the years is I, I just don't know that people are very clear on exactly what it is that they want and why they want it. And oftentimes we have conversations around, well, I wanna feel better and I wanna look better and I wanna lose weight and I wanna be stronger and I wanna have more muscle mass. And I wanna do all of the things and I wanna run a half marathon and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. In coming back to this idea of seasons, it's like, there certainly is a season for all of those things. Speaker 3 (36:35): There's a season for performing at your best and looking your best and feeling your best. But perhaps it would be reasonable to acknowledge that maybe you, it's not necessary to do all of those things at once, right? Because truly, if we're talking about being at our optimal health, then maybe it's not gonna be advantageous for you to be the leanest that you've ever been at any time during your life. Similarly, is if we wanna perform well, then maybe it's not gonna be, you know, you know, for you to perform at your best. Maybe you're just not gonna be the healthiest version of yourself. And so I guess it really comes down to what someone really wants and then giving themselves permission to be okay with, you know, what, I just wanna feel better. I wanna have more energy. I wanna get my libido back. I wanna start to have some consistent bowel movements. Speaker 3 (37:26): I wanna be able to think clearly I wanna be present and set a good example for my kids. In which case, how important is it for me to be beach, body lean mm-hmm . And, and perhaps I could absolve myself of, of the stress and guilt and responsibility that I'm putting on myself to try and do all of the things at once. And instead just say, you know what, for this season of my life, I'm going to eat the food and I'm gonna be okay with being a little bit heavier on the scale than I'd ideally like to be, because I know that this is setting the foundation and the precedent for really how I wanna feel in perpetuity. And then once you've taken the time to do that and acknowledge the things that are going to move that needle well, then it it's, it's liberating, right? Speaker 3 (38:15): To the degree that then you can say, okay, now that I've been in sort of this quote unquote maintenance mode, and I've enjoyed myself and, and absol again, absolved myself of that ROS responsibility and guilt of not always trying to be the leanest ever I can actually identify and say, you know what? I feel pretty good to know that I didn't stress myself out over all of this stuff. And then if, and when the opportunity arises, then you can shift the focus. So I think it all comes down to always setting some realistic expectations. And then really just focusing on the things that you can actually control that are gonna help you work towards said set goal. Speaker 2 (39:00): Yeah. I, I really appreciate this in the context of setting, setting your goals and your intentions and your why as to what you're doing. Mm-Hmm because that will keep people more focused, because like you were saying, you work with people for six months to a year, that's a long time to commit to something. And if you have a clear goal and direction at the end, that's gonna keep you motivated because things are gonna get hard. Things are gonna get uncomfortable. You might , you know, the scale might go up and then down and then go back up again because the body is changing and we have to, we have to work through those seasons and make those adjustments as the, as the body adjusts to re repairing your metabolism or whatever it is. Yeah. So I love that. Where can people find you? And I know you do have a a gift or a freebie for everybody. So if you wanna tell 'em about that, that would be fine Speaker 3 (40:01): Too. Yes. absolutely. So our website, so we're, we're on social media, on the, all of the social media at BSL nutrition. I'd say we're probably most active on Instagram.

(00:09): Welcome back to the thriving thyroid podcast, where we choose to become empowered patients and take our health into our own hands. Hi, I'm Shannon Hanson, a Christian entrepreneur, a mom of three. And after dealing with my own health mysteries, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about the thyroid. I soon became certified as a holistic wellness practitioner, a functional nutrition practitioner and a functional diagnostic practitioner. And so much more. After that, I founded the revolutionary thyroid program, the Hanon method as a health professional and a mom. I fully understand the importance of having a fun, simple, and sustainable plan for achieving a responsive thyroid. So I share actionable and practical strategies for developing a responsive thyroid so that the ambitious moms and women can gain freedom from fatigue and lose the thyroid weight once. And for all each week, I will be here for you along with my guest experts, we will be sharing simple and tangible tips that work for not only your thyroid, your hormones, your family, and your mindset, so that you can get back to living the life that you envision for yourself. Welcome to the thriving thyroid podcast. (01:31): Welcome back to today's episode. You guys, we're gonna be talking about meal planning, and I feel like this is a really important topic because it is one of the things that I think I've overlooked. especially lately where I have dismissed the importance of planning out my meals. Now I'm pretty good. I feel like I eat pretty healthy on a regular basis and I can make good choices. Now I do love me some sugar and I got back to the sugar while I was pregnant. Partly because when I was pregnant and two, when I got COVID, when I, a lot of the food didn't taste good anymore, and I was just kind of eating to survive in my third trimester and because of life, because of all of the things, because food didn't sound good because I was having a lot of food reactions and things while I was pregnant and all of the excuses in the whole entire world, I got out of practice in planning, my family meals. (02:44): And it was let's just go to the grocery store and buy what looks good. And with the increase in food cost and all of the different things that are happening right now. I think it's really important that not only me personally, take a step back and start planning these things out a little bit more, but then also for you guys to do that so that we can prevent more waste especially when it comes to food. I, I know I feed a lot of the food and groceries that I buy to my chickens or the pigs or , or whoever will eat them. And I'm really looking for better ways to reduce that expense for my family, so that we can have nutrient dense foods that don't cost the sit arm of the leg, or because the way that we do our budget, we have a set monthly budget. (03:46): I don't wanna run out of budget money because I haven't used my resources to the best of my ability. Okay. So I wanted to give you the ideas and tips that I use when planning my meals. And of course, we're gonna be giving you guys some resources here at the end of this episode. But first and foremost, what I do when I start meal planning for my family is I, well, while I'm, I'm thinking about planning my meals, I go to each person in my household and I ask them, is there something you would like to eat this week because let's face it, I'm the mom and I run about out of ideas, or there are things that I'm like, I just don't wanna cook anymore or whatever it may be. So I go to each one of them and just say, Hey, is there anything that sounds good or anything that you would like me to get to the grocery store? (04:46): Ultimately I have V veto power and I cannot get it, or I don't have to make it, or whatever, if it's something crazy or disgusting or that I just don't wanna make or whatever. Right. Whatever the reason is I get to be in control of that. So that's the, what first thing that I do. And a lot of times I'll do either exactly what they said, or I try to incorporate it in or I find ways to allow them that food freedom especially since I have girls. And I think that's super important that they develop good, healthy relationships with food. And I don't ever want to tell them, you know, that's not good for you, that's gonna make you fat, whatever. So that's the first thing I, that I do. The second thing that I do is I go to my fridge, my pantry, and my Frazer. (05:47): And I see what items, what food items, ingredients that I have that either need to be used up or that are gonna go bad or draw some kind of idea or inspiration from the things that I already have. So I'll give you an example in my fridge currently, I have a cucumber, I , I have lettuce. I have celery, I think I have maybe an onion or two. I'm trying to remember. I don't have it all in front of me, but, and then I start to think, okay, I have this, I have that, you know, what can I do with the celery? So can I do an on the log for the kids as a snack to use it up, or maybe as I am thinking about other recipes, I can find ways to incorporate the celery into my, into the foods that I'm making so that I don't waste them. (06:50): So I don't have to throw that, that ingredient out. Or so when it this is the only thing that's coming to mind, on this spot. So like a chicken salad sandwich, right. I might make a chicken salad sandwich for my family and use that celery as part of that, so that we can use it up and not waste it. So that's just an idea, right? Because I know that I have those ingredients. I find that my waste for food is less when I, when I do this method also looking at in the freezer, Hey, I've got chicken already. I don't need to go buy chicken. Or if, if there's a good sale on chicken, I might stock up. The next thing I like to do is look at any grocery ads. I typically just look at them on my phone. (07:50): I have, so we have fries here. I just downloaded the fries app. And I look on, on my phone. What's what's on sale for the week. I don't always buy what's on sale because who has time for that? Just kidding. No, I, it is important to me, but I also don't just buy something because it's on sale. Okay. I try to take that into consideration when I am planning out my meals to make sure, like, I don't know if something, so, okay. I'll, here's, here's another example. I ran to the grocery store this morning because we don't go shopping on Sundays and somebody didn't grow grocery shopping over the weekend. And we had to pack lunches and strawberries were on sale. So strawberries were super cheap this week, organic strawberries. So I was all about that. And I bought like three or four of those little carton things so that we could eat fresh throughout the, throughout the week. (08:58): And I can incorporate that into meals. I can incorporate that into breakfast ideas, so on and so forth. Okay. So then I sit down and I just make a list of what things I want to make. So I already gave you the example of the chicken salad sandwich. Okay. What do I need for that? I already have chicken. I already have the celery for it. I already have I make homemade sourdough bread. So that's typically what my family eats. And a lot of times I'll do like my own chicken salad sandwich as like a, a salad. just put it over some lettuce and call it good, you know, anyways. So then I make a list of all of the ideas or the thoughts that come to my mind that I'm like, yeah, that sounds good. Yeah. I think we could do that or make that work. (09:59): Then I know this is a lot of steps you guys, but I promise it's gonna make a world of difference. So one of the next things that I do is I look at the calendar and our schedule for that week. I keep a digital calendar it's on my phone. So it's really easy for me to just sit, sit down with pen and paper and, you know, look at the grocery ads, know what I have in my fridge pantry and just start writing things down, cuz it's all in front of me. I don't have to get up and run all over the place. Okay. So then I take into consideration what our week looks like as a family. And one of the things my husband and I do on Sunday evenings is we talk about the next week. Hey, some of the things we know are pretty standard. (10:47): You know, we have I have church things that happen with our youth group on Tuesdays. Our kids have church youth group that also happens on Tuesdays. My husband goes down to the church on Wednesday nights for other things. They have dance on Tuesday, you know, all of those things that are kind of pre-planned that we already know. We just briefly talk about them, but really what we're talking about is anything that might be out of the ordinary. So for example if we have a family dinner in the middle of the week or we have a birthday party or we have a different meeting or a different appointment that is out of our norm, we will update each other on. And we also keep a digital family calendar, usually it's me adding to it and my husband. Oh, okay. So, and so has dental dentist appointments or just different things like that. (11:48): So , we try to stay in the loop. And so that's one of the other things that I consider while I am planning my meals because Tuesdays and Wednesdays are very busy nights for our family because we have piano lessons, har lessons, dance lessons, church activities, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all of the, all of the things. And so on those nights, either I need to be prepared to do something in the instant pot, in the air fryer, in the crock pot, something along those lines or a one pan one pot meal, or we're gonna end up not having something super good. We could be going out to eat. We could do be doing drive through or pickup or something because I don't have the time to cook. I have about a 45 minute window and that 45 minute window has to entail making dinner, eating dinner, getting dressed, and ready, feeding the baby and getting out the door. (12:57): And if I am not prepared, something's gotta give right. Something has to give. And so on those two nights, it is really important for me to take that into consideration when I'm planning my meals. And so, like I said, a one pan meal, like I've done fajitas, chicken, fajitas, steak fajitas, and I've been able to do them on one cookie cookie sheet, one pan. And I've just been able to throw, chop everything up, throw it in, and then I can go feed the baby or I can sit down and get dressed and ready or get the other kids ready or or all of the things that need to happen before moving forward. And so again, like I said, that is something that I take into consideration when planning my meals. And then the next thing is to make down, to sit down and make my list. (13:55): Now, when I'm really on top of all the things and I'm doing pretty good in life, this is something that my mom, I saw my mom doing, growing up when she made her grocery list, she would make the list according to the way that she shopped in the grocery store. So we typically start with the fruits and vegetables right at the beginning. And so in the first column, I would write fruits and veggies or fresh produce or whatever you want to write. And then all of the things that I need in that section is where I would put tomatoes, apples, carrots, lettuce, if you, we buy some of the salad dressing that is in that area as well. And so if I needed salad dressing or something at the beginning of the store, I would go ahead and put it in. And then, you know, moving on to meats and our, our new grocery store here, you guys, I think has set up a little weird because the next section is like the meat section typically, and maybe this is not where everybody's is, but usually what I've seen in the past is like breads past, not pastes, more breads and like the maybe deli that happens in, in the store that they have. (15:30): And then you go on to the meats and the butcher and all of those things. But this one is kind of different. You, you end the produce and you go straight into the meat section. And so then I would write down, you know, ground Turkey and chicken and maybe some steaks or whatever I need in that section. And then you guys get the idea, right. Kind of break the store of section by section, make your list in that way. So you're not running all over town, going back and forth and forgetting stuff. And then actually let's talk about how I plan out my week. Cause I think this is also really helpful to people. You guys probably hear baby in the background so I don't plan out breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, all of that. What I do is I plan out my breakfast and I typically just plan out maybe two, maybe three ish items that we can rotate through through the week. (16:39): So I might do boiled eggs at the beginning of the week and apples or I something, right? Like whatever you guys typically do, or we might do breakfast burritos or I do a lot of smoothies. Some of my kids like smoothies, some of 'em don't . And so I just typically write down like smoothie, breakfast burrito, and then maybe a Kish or something like along those lines. And so I make sure that I have items for those three areas that we'll need for that week lunches. I typically do leftovers. But sometimes, you know, you end up eating more or you don't feel like leftovers. And so I'll once again, write down two to three items for lunch ideas outside of leftovers. So maybe salad sandwiches. I try to keep lunches pretty simple for myself. Since I am a working mom with a new baby, I need fast and easy during the day, cuz I don't necessarily feel like cooking. (17:54): And I know many of you guys work outside the home and so cooking is not a viable option. So being able to have something quick and easy for you to grab, I think is also important. And then the big things that I'm planning out is really dinner. Dinner is the meal that, well typically I cook breakfast for my kids. They typically have a hot breakfast and, and dinner. I don't cook for lunch and I joke with my kids, especially during the summer, I'm like, you guys have to eat again. you have to get eat again. You have to have three meals a day and they just look at me like, yeah, mom . So anyways, they're, they're actually getting to the point where they can cook and prepare things themselves. So that is a new adventure that we are on. And then so dinner is the big thing that I'm planning out and then also snacks. (18:55): So what, what kind of snacks do I want? I typically do a lot of fruit for snacks because it's quick and easy. I can grab an apple or a pair or some grapes or some strawberries as I'm running out the door to pick up kids or drop them off or while I'm in the, a business meeting or or something like that. They're that kind of stuff is really easy for me to, to consume. The, the next point that I want to talk to you guys about is what has saved me probably the most amount of time. And I know for many of you guys, you're gonna be like, it's one more thing, Shannon, but I promise it is going to change your life. And really the whole reason why I am making this episode, okay, here it is. This is the golden goose, the big, the big Kauna something that I think every family should do, or at least do something similar to this. (20:09): Because like I said, it's gonna save you a ton of time and frustration and energy later on in your life. So as you make these meal plans and these grocery lists, guess what? You can save them, you can save them and put them in a binder. I find that while I love digital items, there are certain things that are just way easier for me to have on hard copies. So I created a binder and this binder has my meal plan and my grocery list attached to it. I know it's not gonna be perfect. And because that grocery list may not have, I already could have some of the items in my home or like, hold on. How do I say this? So some of the items that I currently have in my home aren't necessarily gonna go on, on the list for me to buy at the store. (21:12): But if I already have a meal plan and I already have some kind of working template to work off of for my grocery list, it cuts down my time and it cuts down on my energy output. And I can, let's say the meal plan I make this week sounds great this week. And then we want to do something similar in two or three weeks. I can look at those past meal plans and draw on inspiration. Oh yeah, I forgot. We made that Asian salad and we all really loved it. I'm gonna make it again. And so that prevents for me also prevents that burnout of, oh my gosh, I'm cooking the same things. Now I will say, you guys might be experiencing this right now. Cause I had a little bit of it and I even know what it is. So one of the things that happens around the changing of the season, so here in Arizona, we have gone from, you know, normal spring weather and we're in the nineties almost up to a hundred and it's may you guys. (22:27): And so my body, my body's nutritional needs are changing. I need more fruit, veggies, melon, things like that because I need that added water and nutrients for my body. And so some of the things that I got into a habit or a routine of cooking and preparing I'm like, it just doesn't sound good anymore. And so having some of these meal plans from a year or two years, three years ago, whatever it may be allows me to say, you know what, oh, I forgot we made that. Oh, that sounds really good. And I can draw on that inspiration even if it's not the exact same. So that is just some of the benefits of having a binder and having, you know, this system put into place for you so that you don't have to worry about the headache. You don't have to worry about the overall and the frustration or the, what am I gonna make? (23:30): What am I gonna prepare? And you have some of those favorite meals in there. Now the other, the one other thing that I recommend doing is if you want to get really fancy I'll tell you, I tried a new pizza dough, crust recipe, and it actually turned out really, really good. And I was like, Hey, this was way simpler than I thought. And it was tasty and easy to make. So I am incorporating that into that binder for recipes in the back because I printed it off the internet and honestly I would forget where it is. So in that binder is also those recipes that are the tried and true and proven and you know, things that you might be getting from friends or whatever that you guys have fallen in love with. And so, again, as you go back and you look at the past meal plans and things that you guys have done, you can quickly find that recipe and you don't have to try to find that on the internet and find the link and, and all of that, again, you guys, I know this takes work and I I've been doing this for over five years now. (24:52): It is a wonderful thing when used regularly and it can save you a lot of time and energy and frustration. But it also takes work and it takes dedication in being able to do that consistently. So have grace and patience with yourself as you are developing your own method. I know some people don't do something as intensive as me. Some people just have recipe cards and they just put all of their recipes on the cards and they look through their own recipe cards when they need ideas. And then they just take that recipe card to a calendar or whatever they have to use to plan out their meals. And that's what they're taking to the grocery store is these little recipe cards. So whatever the method is that you guys are using, don't reinvent the wheel all the time. See if there's ways for you to simplify this. (26:01): I love a lot of variety of foods and so doing a taco Tuesday and a something Wednesday and a something Thursday like that doesn't work for me because I need to have variation and variety and also change with the activities and our lifestyle as our kids get busier busier. So those are my nuggets today for meal planning and meal prep. And like I said, I want to give you guys a gift. And this gift is the best foods sport. So as you guys are learning to change your eating habits and patterns and incorporate more whole foods and, and do all of these wonderful things. I want you to guys to have that guide to look at and to be able to say, oh, Hey, this recipe has B choy in it. Or this recipe has spinach in it. This is going be something that is going to help me. (27:03): And this is gonna nourish my body. So head over to the show notes, download your best foods guide. And I will see you guys in the next, before you go.

The old paradigm for how to teach piano technique worked OK...ish.  I mean, it got many of us through our studies and towards teaching. But how many other students dropped off because of aches, pains, injuries and inefficiencies? In this episode, we'll look at how to teach technique effectively. And we won't need any dry exercises.

Some digital keyboards come with more sounds than piano. On my Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-640 they are called voices. In this episode you will hear a brief presentation using drum kits no. 143. If there are children or grandchildren in your family or neighborhood with an interest in music and little fingers, this is a good introduction to the keyboard. Digital pianos, after all, are about having fun while learning to master the instrument. For classical piano students, continue working on scales, Hanon exercises and all the rest but take time to discover everything else this instrument has to offer. With portable keyboards and a few friends, you could form a small band and have fun learning to play together with different voices. One person on piano, another on strings and someone else on brass or winds. Remember to record your sessions in front of a camera and with flash drives. Share them with friends. Stay the course and over time you'll be amazed with your progress. Remember, this episode can be watched on my YouTube channel Music4Dad. Leave comments below. Thank you for listening.

Cerca de cumplir los doce años, un comerciante de telas llamado Nala decidió adoptarlo. A pesar de su buena fortuna, la vida no fue lo que él esperaba, entonces Johari empezó a lamentar su suerte. Un día, con motivo del cumpleaños del emperador, su padre le pidió que hiciera un viaje por el vasto desierto para llevar seis rollos de seda hasta la ciudad imperial. Al inicio de la travesía se encontró con un pozo en el que habitaba Nostos, la bruja del olvido y las memorias perdidas. Fue ella quien, a cambio de un poco de agua, lo ayudó a recordar el último deseo de su madre: que fuera feliz. El largo camino de Johari lo llevará a descubrir que la verdadera felicidad se encuentra en el lugar más insospechado de todos. Biografía: Alexandra Campos Hanon nació en la CDMX en 1975.

On this episode of Greyhound Time, we sit down with boys' soccer managers Julian Hanon and Adam Jaffe to discuss the behind the scenes of the historic boys' soccer season.

This question was sent by Keith, and he writes in response to my letter asking what are his goals and challenges in organ playing. He writes, Vidas, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love of organ playing. My dream for organ playing is to facilitate the expression of worship in music, with the language of harmony. What things are holding me back from my dream? 1. My ignorance/lack of skill. - In February I dusted off my marginal four years of grade school piano lessons, after 34 years. 2. Realizing what good technique is - what such technique should feel like when I practice and play. 3. Practice method/discipline - What is a minimum of major/minor scales, vs Hanon finger exercises, vs practicing a piece. - I practice about an hour a day, some days twice that. Wish I could practice more. The mini-course emails have been very helpful to me. I let them queue up behind each other, until I have a chance to fully consider each one. Regards, Keith

It's my pleasure to introduce my guest today, pianist, composer, educator, and researcher, Philipp Teriete. Today we will explore the improvisation and partimento in the 19th century, the great French music teacher Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmerman, Frederic Chopin's music education, the influence of German music theory in early ragtime and jazz composers and so much more! 0:38 What is your background and how did you come to your present areas of research? 4:40 Who was Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmerman? 5:55 Did he have any famous pupils? 7:27 What was Zimmerman's training? 9:17 Was he a victim of the cult of genius? 10:41 Was Zimmerman consigned to historical oblivion before your research? 12:55 Partimento and Zimmerman 14:21 Zimmerman's holistic approach to teaching music 17:00 How was Zimmerman different from someone like Fenaroli? 18:10 Zimmerman's recommendation of solfege 19:23 Needing to read 7 clefs right at the beginning with Zimmerman 20:33 How long does it take to be acquainted with 7 clefs? 21:23 Zimmerman calling pianists who have no knowledge of harmony, “schoolboys” 22:37 Cherubini giving Liszt and Berlioz a hard time 23:05 Zimmerman rejecting Louis Moreau Gottschalk from entering the Paris Conservatory 24:09 Did Zimmerman teach the Rule of the Octave and Moti del basso? 24:35 Were these 19th century versions of these things? 26:23 Zimmerman's method leading to free composition and counterpoint 29:00 Are Zimmerman's technical piano teachings comparable to someone like Hanon? 30:56 Frederic Chopin, how did he learn music? 32:19 What's the evidence for the claim that Josef Elsner's curriculum was modeled after the Paris Conservatory? 33:27 Chopin studying 6 hours a week of counterpoint with Elsner 34:06 Chopin and the cult of the genius 34:51 Could he be considered a formally trained musician instead of self-taught? 35:47 Were these all treatises that Elsner used to teach Chopin? 36:14 Did Chopin know the Rule of the Octave? 36:43 What about Chopin and Partimento? 39:05 What was Henri Reber's lineage of teaching music theory? 39:46 Were Henri Reber and Chopin good friends? 40:27 Chopin's plan to write his own piano method 41:35 Why would Chopin ask a music theorist/composer to help him with his piano method 42:33 Was Chopin 100% focused on completing his method? 43:14 Chopin being very musically opinionated and yet asking several friends to finish his piano method 44:42 Friedrich Kalkbrenner's negative image 47:33 People dismissing great composers as “inferior” 48:57 How would Chopin analyze his own music? 52:10 Francis Plante's video recordings of Chopin Etudes at age 90 53:26 Ragtime - Do we have any evidence that Scott Joplin and Tom Turpin had any formal music training? 55:06 Do we know for sure that Scott Joplin had a counterpoint treatise in his possession? 58:32 The Leipzig Conservatory and Generalbass 59:13 Roman Numerals, Harmonic Function Theory, Generalbass and Counterpoint - a Nuanced take 1:01:34 Were Leipzig Conservatory students learning Stufentheorie and Generalbass at the same time? 1:02:45 Joplin's counterpoint treatise containing many notes and annotations 1:03:56 On counterpoint being something that takes years to study 1:05:34 If you study counterpoint already, what's the need for Stufentheorie or Roman Numerals? 1:07:30 Is Wagner influenced by the German theories of music? 1:10:33 Counterpoint vs chord invertibility 1:14:17 Wrapping Up

SHOW NOTES:Unfortunately our show notes are too big for Acast's margins to contain... head to the Table episode page to see everything in once place.Corrections and clarifications:- Regular listener Paul has pointed out that not ALL phone numbers can actually be used as phone numbers. The system connects on the first valid match, so phone numbers longer than 4 digits cannot start with emergency services number 999, or 111, or anything like that. The actual numbers depend on which country you're in, of course. - Not every IV is written as IV... @DavidDanaci sent in several examples of watchmakers who use IIII instead of IV on their watch faces: Patek Philippe, Breguet and Alange & Soehne. One large scale counter-example is the Great Clock of Westminster, aka the Elizabeth Tower clock, aka, the clock that houses Big Ben aka the massive clock in London colloquially known as Big Ben. Yes, Big Ben is the bell, not the clock or the tower. But you knew that already, right? - Benedikt Gocht emailed to point out that we won't be waiting for another 18 elements to reach the next noble gas, but more like 50 or 54, depending on which model you use to predict the properties of elements after 118. There go Helen's dreams of an element called "Hanon" in her lifetime...Thanks for listening! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"What dexterity exercises should I practice to get faster at piano?" asks @brenden.k.bianchi Exercise 1 The Hanon exercises are great for piano finger dexterity and warm up. Before every practice session, I would play 1 Hanon exercise at least once. I would work on 1 different Hanon exercise every week, but if I did not master fluency of that Hanon exercise, I'd do it again for another week. Hanon No. 1 all the way to Hanon No. 31 are essential minimums. These Hanon exercises train your fingers, especially fingers 3 and 4 - the weaker of the 5 fingers on each hand. To target the 3rd and 4th fingers, we make them work harder in Hanon No. 2 and 3. Exercise 2 This is about scales, chords, and arpeggios. This is called Piano Technique - we do this every day for at least 10 years to achieve mastery. For beginners, you can start by playing the 5 finger scale C-D-E-F-G until you can play this evenly. Beyond this, for scales, you can start with C major, G major, D major, A major, and E major. These are the first 5 keys in the Circle of 5ths - no sharp, 1 sharp, 2 sharps, 3 sharps, and 4 sharps. Once comfortable with the fingering for these 5 major keys, you may continue to learn all 12 major keys. Meanwhile, there are 12 minor keys that correspond to each key signature as well. If you become proficient in all keys, you will learn new pieces with ease. https://shop.rcmusic.com/products/the-royal-conservatory-of-music-piano-technique-book-2008-edition

"My pinky collapses when I try to reach for octaves. What should I do? What do I do if my pinky collapses when I play slow and loud?" submitted by @chansamuel63 The pinky is naturally a weaker finger. We can strengthen it with drills and exercises like Hanon. 1) First, we must check your form. The outer side of the pinky can be used, instead of just the point of the finger. Look at how you use the thumb - Finger 1. We do not use the point like Fingers 2, 3, and 4. We can use the side of our pinky (Finger 5) and ""hammer down"" as well as the point when we need to stretch octaves. This will require some practice. 2) If your pinky collapses, I highly recommend starting Hanon No. 31 to train your pinky strength. Go slow and play firmly. Press each key down. https://easypianohacks.com/my-pinky-still-collapses-when-i-try-to-reach-for-octaves-what-should-i-do-what-do-i-do-if-my-pinky-collapses-when-i-play-slow-and-loud/

Do you like sneakers? Then this episode is for you. From importing random Japanese zines to working in Hanon in Aberdeen and having over 250 pairs sitting in his garage. Me and Neil chat a lot about trainers in this episode. Even though his journey isn’t really about footwear. He came to Dundee to set up Borders books store. Which he helped build into the most successful branch in the UK but despite this, the company went into administration. Neil had to go through that process and watch the community he had built disappear. He seems to have a knack of getting his foot in the door by offering to lend a hand. This saw him working on some of the early-stage public consultations for V&A Dundee, then on to several Business Improvement District projects. In the episode, he also reveals that Kengo Kuma’s design was not actually the public’s first choice! The Bluebell design was the preferred choice but it was deemed too similar to Belfast’s Titanic Museum. After his work with the V&A Dundee, the Archie foundation approached Neil to help create a fundraising trail. This became the Oor Wullie Bucket Trail that was so successful at getting people out and exploring as well as raising a lot of money for charity. Neil also went on to work on the Maggie’s Penguin Parade and bucket trail number 2. Working with Wild in Art he’s now working on trails projects worldwide. But how long can this model really last? We chat about the possibilities and certain restricting factors for the future. We finish by talking about a mutual love of trainers. It may be a little self-indulgent but you’ve got to take the chance when it’s there!

Japanese mono reissue before October 1, 1971. Bonifacio Ferdinand Leonard "Buddy" DeFranco (Camden, Nueva Jersey, 17 de febrero de 1923 ? Panama City, Florida, 24 de diciembre de 2014)1 fue un clarinetista de jazz estadounidense. De origen italiano, comenzó a tocar el clarinete en 1935 con sólo 12 años para ayudar a su padre ciego a mantener a su familia muy pobre que vivía en el sur de Filadelfia. A los 16 años ya era un músico que giraba a través de los Estados Unidos con varias bandas. Su carrera se desarrolló en lo que se considera la época dorada del swing jazz y las big bands, que tenía como principales clarinetistas a Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman y Woody Herman. Pero él fue el primero en dedicarse con su instrumento al bebop y a la música de Charlie Parker, y con Tony Scott se convirtió en uno de los pocos clarinetistas en ese tipo de la historia del jazz. También fue el primero en utilizar el clarinete bajo en el jazz con resultados extraordinarios. Entre sus colaboraciones más importantes se encuentran las que tocó con Count Basie, Sonny Clark y Tal Farlow. De 1966 a 1974 fue líder de la orquesta de Glenn Miller. También tocó con George Shearing, Gene Krupa, Charlie Barnet, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Terry Gibbs, Art Blakey, Tommy Gumina y muchos otros. Se le dedicó una hermosa biografía en el libro: Una vida en la edad de oro del Jazz. También fue organizador del festival de jazz para jóvenes talentos Buddy DeFranco Jazz Fest y en 1996 como maestro y profesor publicó su versión del método Hanon para el aprendizaje de clarinete de jazz. Junto con su amigo de Tony Scott es considerado el más grande de todos clarinetista de jazz de su tiempo. JAZZ ACTUALIDAD .-Esta semana vamos a tener al trío BENAVENT-DI GERALDO-PARDO con “FLAMENCO LEAKS. Tras 20 años de la publicación de su primer disco; “El directo de Sevilla”, grabado en el Teatro Central, Carles Benavent (bajo eléctrico), Tino di Geraldo (batería) y Jorge Pardo (saxo y flauta), lo celebran y nos presentan “Flamenco Leaks”. Vida profesional conjunta entorno a las principales figuras del flamenco, colaboraciones individuales en incontables proyectos de casi todos los géneros, premios, reconocimientos, participación en centenares discos, miles de conciertos y horas y horas de convivencia y música. Vidas dedicadas al completo a la creación e interpretación, hacen de ellos, alumnos aventajados, inventores y maestros a la vez, que no necesitan más presentación. «El trío», que lejos de pretensiones, es el nombre con el que su público les conoce, es «un experimento» de resultados sin precedentes . Cada uno con su proyecto personal activo y exitoso, se juntan de cuando en cuando para, como un cometa, hacer una pasada por los teatros y festivales. En este caso, el proyecto Flamenco Leaks es su tercer álbum y segundo de estudio, que se presentará en directo a lo largo de 2020. Son una inusitada formación, de propuesta libre e indómita, flamenco de 24 quilates, alejado de la ortodoxia y el folclorismo. MÚSICA con mayusculas, que se nutre de la experiencia de estos titanes en su excelso devenir vital y musical entorno al flamenco, el jazz, el rock, el clásico, las músicas del mundo, etc Como si fueran las fugas a las que ser refiere el título del disco Flamenco Leaks, el jazz contenido que desarrollan sobre un escenario Carles Benavent, Tino di Geraldo y Jorge Pardo va ofreciendo pequeñas gotas de flamenco. Una discreta gotera que crece y crece cuando sus instrumentos vuelan libres en las improvisaciones. Y ese goteo constante, por momentos, parece una lluvia torrencial cuando por ejemplo se incorporan, ya sin disimulo, notas inconfundibles de La Tarara que popularizó Federico García Lorca hace un siglo o, más cerca en el tiempo, Camarón de la Isla a finales del XX. Benavent (bajo eléctrico), Tino de Geraldo (batería) y Jorge Pardo (saxo y flauta) no tocan flamenco, pero en su música se reconocen los flamencos, y por eso en la mañana de este jueves había más artistas de este género —como Carmen Linares, Pepe Habichuela o Josemi Carmona— que de cualquier otro en la presentación del último disco del trío, dos décadas después de su debut, en la sede madrileña de la Sociedad General de Autores (SGAE). Una presentación en la que desplegaron sus virtudes en un directo con un par de temas. “Una de las cualidades de esta pequeña banda es que ninguno de nosotros somos de una familia de abolengo flamenco pero, a pesar de ello, nuestro territorio común es el flamenco”, aseguró Jorge Pardo (Madrid, 62 años), “en nuestra música no hay ningún elemento ni estético, ni visual, ni de ningún tipo, que realmente haga ver el flamenco: no hay un pañuelo de lunares, no hay una guitarra, no hay un cante, no hay un tacón de una bota, no hay ninguno de esos elemento que son tan típicamente flamencos... y sin embargo, pregúntale a cualquier flamenco y mira lo que cuenta…”. Así es. Todos han evolucionado su música con este género musical, al tiempo que con el jazz y otros estilos. “Yo nunca he estudiado flamenco, lo he vivido”, resumió Pardo, con muchas colaboraciones y discos en solitario en sus labios. Y si Di Geraldo (Toulouse, 59 años) fue batería de los más grandes del flamenco, desde Camarón a Manolo Sanlúcar, Benavent (Barcelona, 65 años), que ha tocado incluso con Miles Davis o Chick Corea, presenta un currículo similar. De hecho, los miembros de este veterano trío se conocen desde hace cuatro décadas, cuando a finales de los setenta formaron parte del sexteto que fundó Paco de Lucía para revolucionar el flamenco. Junto al guitarrista, fallecido hace cinco años, formaron como miembros sus hermanos Pepe y Ramón, Rubem Dantas y Manolo Soler, además de Pardo, Di Geraldo y Benavent. Una formación en la que De Lucía presentaba al bajo del sexteto como: “A la guitarra china, Carles Benavent”, rememoró entre risas el barcelonés, que aplicó en sus inicios un truco para afrontar con su bajo la velocidad de toque del maestro de la guitarra flamenca: “Hay que ser un poco pícaro, das los acentos bien dados y parece que has tocado toda la partitura”. “Carles Benavent, Tino di Geraldo y Jorge Pardo llevaban tiempo siendo reconocidos como músicos excelentes en varios territorios musicales y casi todo el orbe terráqueo. Tres tipos de diversas procedencias, un madrileño que pugnaba por ser un músico de jazz, un catalán metido en el rock progresivo y un asturiano criado en el punk. Afortunadamente el flamenco se cruzó en sus carreras y se transformaron. Pasaron de ser los mejores en lo suyo a ser ÚNICOS. Unos artistas, unos músicos que asumen la posibilidad de crear como un reto posible” señala José Manuel Gómez, en la hoja de promoción del disco.

Alexandra Campos Hanon nació en la ciudad de México en 1975, creció en el barrio de Coyoacán y se titulo como Socióloga.

Ahora nos trae su nuevo cuento El Pozo de Leteo o la Historia de los Recuerdos Perdidos que nos cuenta que hace muchos años, en una aldea de la que no queda más que este cuento, se mandó construir un pozo… Ahí, dice la gente, habita una sirena que siempre tiene sed. “Ella cumple deseos, pero a cambio exige un recuerdo” ¿Quién es Leteo? ¿Cuál es el predio de un capricho? ¿Cuánto estarías dispuesto a olvidar a cambio de hacer realidad tus sueños? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que surgen a lo largo de esta historia que busca dimensionar el valor de la memoria. No se pierdan su entrevista en este tu canal dónde nos habla con sus propias palabras de este increíble cuento “El Pozo de Leteo o la Triste Historia de los Recuerdos Perdidos” ilustrada por Anabel López. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvxPJ2VIz0E

These recordings were made by Radio Behind the Lines, at the Green Institutes 2019 conference. The Green Institute is an Australian non-profit organisation, their mission being to “support green politics through education, action, research and debate“. Green politics means broad community-wide change grounded in the principles of ecology, social justice, democracy, non-violence, sustainability and respect for diversity. With ecological breakdown underway, inequality spiralling, colonialism and patriarchy still not dismantled, and the hate-fuelled far right on the rise, we desperately need democracies which are able to both reverse these trends and create hope-filled resilience in the face of difficult times to come. Meanwhile, around the world, people and communities are experimenting with exciting and innovative democratic practices, recasting the relationship between citizens and government, drawing on ancient wisdom, involving deep engagement and participation. The Green Institute’s 2019 conference challenged us to think deeply about democracy, and inspires us to act fast, and with great determination, to cultivate democracy at every level.

This question was sent by May. She’s our Total Organist student. And he writes: Hi Vidas, I read from your post that you classify BWV 565 as advanced level. Actually, which part of this piece do you think is the most challenging? I personally find the fast passage towards the end (especially that part to be played by hands only with alternate hands. I find it very difficult to play each note evenly and clearly. Is this the most difficult part of this piece in your mind? What do you suggest I can do to improve my playing of such fast passages? Vidas: Do you like playing Hanon exercises, Bach Inventions and Sinfonias? May: Thanks Vidas! I wish I played more technical exercises before. The fact is, my piano teachers never instructed me to do so in the past (when I was a teenager). My piano at home is now awfully out of tune. I seldom play it ever since I started learning organ. To be honest I would rather spend time on compositions that require pedals. I always choose compositions that require more hands-feet coordination and less manual techniques. This doesn't mean I do not want to improve my manual skills. I just don't want to spend too much time on manual only pieces like Bach's inventions and sinfonias. I have little knowledge of Hanon exercises. How many of exercises does it have and how many shall I work on? I assume I'll have to practice them on the piano... Thanks again, May Vidas: How about Bach's Orgelbuchlein? How many chorales have you mastered from this collection? May: Hi Vidas, With the Orgelbuchlein, here's the list of pieces I have played in the Church and that I am fairly comfortable with. BWV 609, 610, 621, 623, 625, 627(verses 1,2,3), 631, 636 Below is the list that I believe I have mastered. BWV 599, 602, 605, 606, 613, 626, 630, 639. I am quite comfortable with BWV 659 and 645. ​ V: By the way, 659 is Nun komm from Eighteen Great Chorales, the first one, and 645 is "Wachet auf" from Schubler collection. May: I have been playing them in Church during the advent season in the past few years. Any advice from you will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, May Vidas: And I finished my writing to her like this: Thanks May! There are 45 chorale preludes in this collection. It's worth mastering them all. Also the Schubler chorales. Do one per week. In fact, you can record one piece every week for our Secrets of Organ Playing Contest. This would quadruple your results.

Ce jeudi, Jean-Jacques Deleeuw reçoit dans + de Podcast Yvan Hanon pour les podcasts de "Mammouth.media" (média des étudiants en journalisme de l'IHECS) et Séverine Janssen et Flavien Gillié pour les balades sonores "Bruxelles nous appartient".

The difference between the "Technical" and “Adaptive” approach is the adaptive approach creates the possibility to be flexible and communicate. Why is this important? It deals with the belief system and desires. It will inspire change. We've all learned “facts” -working with people, doing business and organization. It's a “rote” way of doing things. Technique is important. Technique is Hanon, Dohnanyi in music. It's the exercises, scales, arpeggios. Technique is how we were trained. It's the easiest part of training because you can set specific goals and teach specific ways of a routine. Adaptive is different and goes beyond the technique. It's why a certain person stands out from the others. What makes the difference? Adaptive involves a belief system and the emotional desire. It's taking risks and infusing passion. It's creating an appetite. When I look at incredible photos of recipes, I think how wonderful they'll be. It appeals to my emotions. I'm thinking taste, not just ingredients. In applying that to speaking, it's the authentic sharing of a life—the emotion behind the habit or principle. This brings a desire for commitment, transformation and change. Walkaways: 1.There is a difference between “technical & adaptive” 2. It's important to go beyond the “facts” 3. Analyze how you stand out with an adaptive approach-maybe start developing ways. 4. Don't be afraid to share the emotional part of you. People identify with areas that aren't “perfect.” They can identify with the emotion.

This question was sent by John, and he writes: I have struggled to get much quality organ practice in the last 2 weeks, but family has to come first. Prior to that I have been diligently practicing the first 10 Hanon exercises with a metronome, starting at 60 bpm and working my way up to 80. I started noticing a few small issues where I was drifting off beat. I have also tried practicing pieces to a metronome as I am subconsciously changing the tempo without realizing. I have learnt the first 2 pages of Wachet Auf from Schubler chorales, and playing it ok, it took quite a while to get the chorale tune, it certainly tests my coordination and independence of RH, LH and pedals. Page 3 with the modulation to minor mode is taking even more work, but slow practice is working. I am playing for our church service on Sunday, I am really excited as I haven't played at church for since January due to Isaac arriving. One of the hymns is a new one, and when I practiced it, I had a special moment of realizing how much my skills have improved. After 3 days of very slow practice, I was able to play all four parts together with hardly a mistake! I reckon even 2 years ago it would have taken 7-10 days to achieve this. In fact 2 years ago I remember emailing you saying I was struggling with playing all four parts of hymns when I had only 1 weeks notice. I think I have finally reached a point where I am committed to trusting the learning process, whereas sometimes I would skip some combinations, or try and play at performance tempo. Now I really focus on slowing the tempo right down, and sometimes practice each fragment 10 times instead of 3 times. I wanted to thank you and Ausra for being the reason for my first DVD sale in the USA from one of your subscribers Paul Anderson! I had a go at organizing the payment and shipping through PayPal, and so far so good. Also could you and Ausra give your advice on a podcast on some practical strategies to improve my phrasing, this could apply to hymns but particularly Bach pieces and music in general. How do you incorporate pauses/breaths while still keeping a steady tempo. It is getting close to 1 year since my Vilnius trip, the memories are still fresh, and I would love to come and visit you guys again one day! I hope the weather will soon warm up and bring you more energy! Take care, God bless, John...

This question was sent by John, and he writes: Hi Vidas, Thanks so much for the podcast and chat today, you are incredibly inspiring! I feel so motivated after that chat. As we discussed, I really want to go to the next level with my organ playing, but you are right this needs to be part of a balanced lifestyle, I have a full time job, I play hockey plus training, and Eliza and two young boys to care for and a new baby on the way, my family is top priority. Could you please discuss this with Ausra, and give me your advice? It could be a podcast discussion if you want, I don’t mind the general questions being discussed publicly. I would like to write up a practice plan for say 60 minutes a day Monday to Friday, and maybe 90 minutes on Saturday & Sunday. To summarise how I feel: I think I’ve hit a wall of being able to self diagnose what I’m doing wrong. I have done well so far to be aware of what I’m doing, and ask you the right questions to get your help, and then correct it. But right now I don’t know what I don’t know if that makes sense. I don’t know of a ‘better’ way of doing things. For example, sometimes my choice of fingering isn’t good, but I don’t really know what the rules are, or what other options I have. The older retired organist has been helpful, but his communication style isn’t great, he is quite dry and uninspiring, and we have a lot of arguments over historical fingering and pedalling. And although he is retired he only seems to be available about once per month for 1 hour. Do I need a local teacher? Or should I go to a teacher in Melbourne once a month? (Cost is around $50-80 per lesson, plus 4 hours of my travel time). Do you think my progress studying with you online is satisfactory and just keep going this way? Personally I trust you guys so much because you have helped me with every problem. Other organ teachers might be dry and boring too. I don’t know what I should do next, but I think it’s something like: Rebuild foundation of finger technique (start with Hanon exercises, but what else??) Work on improving focus / staying in the moment / get in the zone and stay in the zone from the start to the finish of the piece. Breathing and phrasing of music. I have the book “The Organists’ Manual” by Roger Davis, should I be working through this at my own pace or follow a teacher? Understand why I am so slow at learning new pieces, and improve. My sight reading is poor, I might start on another 30 day challenge of sight reading a hymn each day. Broaden repertoire, I need some help with deciding what to play next. I would like play pieces I enjoy if possible, and pieces I can play in public that will engage and inspire audiences). I’m thinking Suite Gothique by Boellman, Fanfare for the Common Man by Lemmens, O Mensch BWV 622 by Bach, maybe Bach’s Little Fugue in G minor BWV 578 or the Prelude and Fugue in C Major BWV 531? I have started on Hanon, at the moment I have been doing exercises 1-10, repeating each one four times, but this is taking me 40 minutes, which doesn’t leave much time for anything else, and sometimes I struggle to focus the whole way without going into autopilot and messing it up or not doing it properly/precisely. And I haven’t done any scales or arpeggios yet. Maybe I could do: 5 mins sight reading for warm up 25 mins Hanon 15 mins learning hymns for church services 15 mins learning organ solo repertoire Extras: music theory and harmony? Improvisation? Scales/arpeggios? Pedal scales? I like the idea of submitting videos to you as part of the organ competition, as I feel I really need some more specific help and critiquing, and I want you to feel free to tell me how I can do better and what to work on. I really need some specific instructions not just a general idea. Thanks again so much for your time, and for being such wonderful friends and mentors! Take care, God bless John...

Although it is not easy to define music precisely, we can discuss how to play musically, as done througout this book. … http://fopp.henrik-pantle.de/ http://www.pianofundamentals.com
