Here at Do You Really Know, we've talked over and over again about the importance of getting good quality sleep. So of course, you don't want your evening meal to disrupt it, and that's a cause of uncertainty for many people. Bear in mind that to drift off to sleep, your body temperature needs to gradually drop. Given that digestion tends to raise our body temperature, that poses quite the conundrum. Now, the richer the meal or the heavier the food you eat, the longer it takes to be digested, which can lead to discomfort like reflux, heaviness, or bloating. I've often heard that a light dinner is best - is that a good starting point? So what kind of foods should we be aiming for then? What about drinks then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Songs do a great job of marking all the chapters of a relationship - titillation, infatuation, obsession ... followed by the comforting warmth of deep and abiding love ... (sometimes) followed by hurt, misunderstanding and betrayal ... followed by anger, separation and acceptance. Yet once the breakup is over and done, we sometimes get stuck, unable to move forward or go back, awash in residual negative feelings that swallow us like quicksand. You know as well as anyone you're only hurting yourself when you get like this, but your "How We Heard It" team is here to help. This week's episode is all about letting the old you go and embracing your future with the help of artists who tap into humor and resilience - and maybe throw one last jab at that ex - as they move on to rejoin the world around them. So quit crying in your beer, get a haircut and buy a new shirt. You've got a life to live!

In this episode, we're diving deep into the transformative power of nervous system regulation, yoga, and breathwork—all specifically tailored to fertility and overall female wellness. I'm joined by Jennifer Edmonds, an experienced yoga, Pilates, and breathwork teacher who specializes in fertility and women's health. Through her own challenging fertility journey, Jennifer discovered how fertility yoga eased her anxiety, balanced her thyroid, and helped her conceive naturally. Now, she helps women around the world unlock their body's innate healing potential. Join us for an inspiring conversation packed with insights into how slowing down and tuning in can reshape your fertility journey and well-being. Join us as we share: Jennifer's Fertility Journey: Jennifer shares her struggles with failed IVF and medical challenges, eventually finding success through fertility yoga. Her journey highlights the resilience of the female body and the importance of addressing stress and hormones holistically. Stress and Fertility: Chronic stress activates the fight-or-flight response, which deprioritizes reproduction. Prolonged stress disrupts menstrual cycles, depletes minerals, and complicates conception. Fertility Yoga and Hormone Balance: Yoga helps regulate the nervous system, reducing cortisol and promoting hormonal balance. Fertility yoga aligns with menstrual phases: restorative poses during menstruation, energizing practices near ovulation, and calming exercises post-ovulation. These tailored practices support hormonal health, pelvic circulation, and conception readiness. Yoga for Hormonal Phases: Specific yoga practices for menstrual phases promote pelvic circulation, reduce stagnation, and calm the nervous system. Restorative practices post-ovulation encourage safety signals for conception or early pregnancy. Adjusting Exercise for Fertility: High-intensity workouts can disrupt hormonal balance. Post-ovulation, lighter exercises reduce inflammation and better support fertility. Shifting from High-Intensity to Mindful Practices: Slower practices like meditation and breathwork are more effective than vigorous exercise for stress management. Breathwork serves as an accessible entry point for calming the mind. Mind-body practices like yoga and meditation significantly improve fertility. A Harvard study showed a 50% higher IVF success rate in women using these practices. Overcoming Meditation Challenges: Beginners often feel “bad” at meditation but can start small with guided or breath-focused sessions. Active practices like breathwork help ease Type A personalities into mindfulness. Hypervigilance and Stress Awareness: Hypervigilance, often tied to trauma, leads to over-control and exhaustion. Recognizing stress signals like agitation or a racing heart is crucial to breaking the cycle. Build awareness by linking habits to physical stress responses. Focus on controllable factors like sleep, nutrition, and triggers. Somatic practices like yoga and breathwork help the body feel safe. Personalized Stress Management: Experiment with different strategies to discover what works best. A diverse toolbox of techniques provides flexibility to manage various stressors. Jennifer opens the doors to her program from Friday 31st January - Thursday 6th February 2025.

Episode 3372: Courtney Carver shares ten essential areas in life that we can "edit" to regain control and reduce overwhelm. From simplifying our diet and decluttering our closets to managing digital distractions and nurturing our heart and soul, these small, intentional changes create space for more joy and fulfillment. Carver emphasizes that even one change can lead to a more mindful, balanced life.
