I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this special training, Dr. Heidi and I pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood aspects of women's health: metabolism. If you've been doing all the "right" things—eating healthy, exercising, taking supplements, balancing hormones but still feel exhausted, stuck, inflamed, or unable to lose weight, this conversation is for you.You'll learn why your body isn't broken it's simply under-activated and how supporting your mitochondria, balancing blood sugar, improving metabolic flexibility, and reducing chronic inflammation can completely transform the way you feel today and protect your health for years to come.Key Highlights:➡️ Why doing "all the right things" may still leave you exhausted, inflamed, and struggling with stubborn weight.➡️ The surprising reason your body may be working against you instead of for you.➡️ Why supplements, hormones, and exercise cannot compensate for unactivated body systems.➡️ How metabolic health impacts energy, hormones, brain function, longevity, and disease prevention.➡️ The critical role mitochondria play in producing cellular energy and supporting healthy aging.➡️ How chronic stress and elevated cortisol disrupt metabolism, hormone balance, and fat burning.➡️ The four major metabolic disruptors affecting women in midlife.➡️ Why blood sugar regulation is one of the most important factors for overall health and longevity.➡️ The connection between chronic inflammation and conditions such as cardiovascular disease, dementia, and metabolic dysfunction.➡️ How metabolic flexibility helps your body efficiently burn both sugar and fat for fuel.➡️ A simple meal strategy that can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by up to 40%.➡️ Why a 10-minute walk after meals may be one of the most powerful habits for improving metabolic health.Key Takeaways:“Your body isn't broken. Your body isn't betraying you. Your body is under-activated.” – Kellie Lupsha“We have absolutely everything we need in the body to thrive for a very long time.

Discovering Plants with Healing Powers with guest Ava Long, Clinical Herbalist and Owner, Floral Botanical Medicine Greek physician Hippocrates is attributed with saying “Nature is the best physician.” Herbalism is the study and practice of using plants for medicinal, therapeutic, and health-promoting purposes.Ancient Greek herbalism helped form the foundation of modern herbal medicine and the emphasis on the balance between nature, health and philosophy. Every plant seems to have its own special healing superpowers, and a relatable story to tell. Clinical herbalist Ava Long shares her story and her approach to herbal science. Ava Long is the owner of Floral Botanical Medicine, a health and wellness practice. Her diagnostic approach incorporates live blood microscopy to uncover root causes of chronic health concerns. She develops individualized herbal protocols for detoxification and for restoring balance and achieving optimal health. Ava has trained at various institutions, including the Boston School of Herbal Studies, where she also serves as an adjunct professor. She is also the founder of Maine Sea Greens, a seaweed food product combining her passion for herbalism and seaweed. Through her work, she helps others benefit from ancient holistic practices alongside modern technology. Note: Roughly 30 percent of the global population is at risk for iodine deficiency. Symptoms of iodine deficiency include unexplained weight gain, chronic fatigue, cold sensitivity, dry skin, thinning hair, and enlarged thyroid gland. Seaweed, the best natural source of iodine, is an excellent herbal and dietary addition for supporting thyroid health, regulating blood sugar, and providing antioxidant protection. Seaweed should, however, be consumed in moderation to avoid excess iodine.

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife" The Women's Guide to Wellness, Longevity & Hormones After 40. This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode of Wellness Wednesday, I sit down as a guest with Merilee Merisic to dive into one of the most important conversations in health today: why we are aging faster than we should and what is actually driving accelerated aging at the cellular level.We explore how modern life has changed the trajectory of human health where chronic stress, environmental toxins, processed foods, and constant mental overload are creating oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction that silently speed up aging long before symptoms appear.Most importantly, we break down why true healing cannot start with symptoms, hormones, or supplements but must begin at the cellular foundation first. Once the cell is supported, everything else begins to work the way it was designed to.Key Highlights:➡️ Why people today are aging faster than previous generations ➡️ The difference between lifespan and healthspan—and why it matters now more than ever ➡️ How chronic stress, overwhelm, and environmental toxins accelerate cellular aging ➡️ Why aging begins at the cellular level long before wrinkles or hormone shifts appear ➡️ What oxidative stress really is and how it creates “rusting” inside the body ➡️ How oxidative stress impacts energy, metabolism, brain function, and disease risk ➡️ Why mitochondria are the “powerhouse” of the cell and control energy, recovery, and cognition ➡️ Why so many people feel stuck despite doing all the “healthy” things ➡️ Why foundational cellular function must come before any supplements or protocols ➡️ The concept of cellular activation and why genetic pathways matter for longevity ➡️ How gut health, collagen, and mitochondrial support all depend on cellular readinessKey Takeaways:“The body must be ready at a cellular level before anything else can land.” – Kellie Lupsha“We were born with everything we need to heal—but we must support the systems that allow it.” – Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

A 2025 European meta-analysis of 270,000 children across 17 countries found that fitness levels have still not recovered from the pandemic. In Germany specifically, children are moving 25% less than before. Even kids at sports schools are declining. This episode covers what that data actually means, what Hippocrates argued 2,400 years ago about movement and medicine, what I witnessed inside a Hyrox affiliate keynote this weekend about what is being built for the next generation — and what you can do about it before Friday.One historical story. One piece of current data. One thing from this week. One action.This is your weekly Monday reset.

Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I'm taking you right alongside me on a two-week journey across Europe with my mom and daughter, sharing the moments, the mishaps, the quiet discoveries, and the pure joy that comes from stepping outside your comfort zone. Whether you're already mapping out your own overseas adventure or just need a little push to start dreaming bigger, pull up a chair, grab your favorite drink, and let's wander through this together.Key Highlights:➡️ How I navigated jet lag, a dying phone, and the unexpected magic of wandering without a map.➡️ The century-old architectural marvel that completely shifted how I think about vision and patience.➡️ Why I traded bustling city streets for coastal highways and fell for a quiet seaside rhythm.➡️ A spontaneous dinner reservation that came with a surprising Hollywood backstory.➡️ Waking up surrounded by vines and what the French countryside taught me about slowing down.➡️ My quiet moments among fashion legacies, world-class art, and hidden garden escapes.➡️ Chasing dramatic ocean cliffs by land and sea in a place where every stop comes with a story.➡️ Why I'm challenging you to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and finally book your leap.Key Takeaways:“The two-week experience me in Europe was bigger than just the experience... bigger than just I had the time or the money to go away. It was the whole thing.” -Kellie Lupsha"I'm challenging you to go have more fun, to go live your life.

Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, Dr. Heidi and I dive into the power of your first 60 minutes, and why that small window quietly shapes your cortisol rhythm, mental clarity, metabolism, and motivation for the entire day. We're not talking about perfection or forcing a 5 a.m. wake-up; we're talking about intentionally designing a morning ritual that actually fuels you, no matter what season of life you're in. From setting your mindset before your feet hit the floor, to simple, science-backed practices like morning light, cold exposure, breathwork, and strategic hydration, we break down how to create a routine that feels good, sticks long-term, and sets you up to win, without the overwhelm.Key Highlights:➡️ Why your first 60 minutes directly impact your cortisol, blood sugar, metabolism, and brain clarity.➡️ How the first few seconds after waking can influence your mindset for the entire day.➡️ How your brain defaults to habitual patterns and how to take control of it.➡️ Why even a few minutes of natural light (yes even on cloudy days) can reset your internal rhythm.➡️ A simple habit that can boost alertness and energy without relying on caffeine.➡️ Why your body needs gentle movement early in the day and it does not have to be a full workout.➡️ The overlooked habit that supports detoxification, metabolism, and overall function.➡️ Why your first meal should fuel your body and not spike and crash your energy.Key Takeaways:“Make yourself before you sit up. You've got to be able to say, this is my intention. This is what it is. This is who I am.” -Kellie Lupsha“Consistency is king... It's about building a habit. And once you build that habit and your brain has that habit, that's the expectation of your body, of your brain, of your nervous system.” -Dr. Heidi1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

We explore why so many women feel frustrated when the strategies that once worked suddenly stop delivering results, and why there may be more happening beneath the surface than most people realize. This conversation challenges common assumptions and sheds light on a missing piece that often gets overlooked.Key Highlights:➡️ Why the midlife changes many women experience may start earlier than expected➡️ The surprising connection between metabolic health and hormone balance➡️ What many women are missing when addressing hormonal symptoms➡️ A personal story of discovering a completely different path to healing➡️ How chronic stress may be influencing more than you realize➡️ Why doing "more" isn't always the answer when your body is asking for something different➡️ The role of mindset, recovery, and nervous system support during this season of life➡️ How small shifts can create a powerful ripple effect for long-term wellnessKey Takeaways:"What you can do for your body and supporting the aging process doesn't have to age at that same rate... Don't just give it up that you're getting older. Don't give it up that this is just perimenopause. Don't just give it up this is menopause." -Kellie Lupsha"We're different people.

For years, I felt confident in my health and fitness routine, but as I moved through my 40s and into my 50s, I started noticing changes that didn't seem to make sense. My weight wasn't changing much, yet my body felt different.I'm opening up about my own experience, the mindset shifts I had to make, and some of the lessons I've learned about metabolism, hormones, and overall metabolic health. If you've ever felt frustrated because what used to work no longer does, this conversation is for you.Key Highlights:➡️ Why the scale lied to me while my clothes told a completely different story.➡️ Why I finally had to let go of the outdated "calories in, calories out" mindset.➡️ The crucial breakfast nutrition shift that kickstarted my metabolic engine and helped balance my cortisol.➡️ The silent, frustrating physical shifts that happen during menopause. ➡️ Why managing your body at a cellular level is the true key to metabolic health.➡️ The essential daily habits I adopted to reduce inflammation and support natural, effective detoxification.➡️ My personal experience exploring low-dose hormone replacement therapy and metabolic support.Key Takeaways:"Calories in, calories out... it is the biggest myth that I need to help you get over." -Kellie Lupsha"Starting your metabolic engine in the morning is the most essential thing." -Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, Heidi and I are diving deep into a topic that might just be the missing link in your health and wellness journey. If you've been taking hormones or peptides but still aren't feeling the results you expect, we're here to tell you why. It's not about doing more or adding another item to your to-do list. Often, the real issue is a hidden driver that blocks everything else from working properly: cortisol. Join us as we explore how to shift from a stressful, go-go-go "checklist" mindset to a state of true cellular activation and presence. Key Highlights:➡️ Why elevated cortisol might be silently blocking your health, hormone, and wellness progress.➡️ Why simply ticking off wellness tasks isn't the same as achieving true nervous system regulation.➡️ How stress hormones hijack your body's natural messaging system.➡️ The intimate, disruptive connection between insulin spikes and cortisol surges.➡️ Why peptides and hormones are merely messengers that require the right internal environment to actually work.➡️ Simple, actionable ways to become an observer of your thoughts rather than a reactive stressor.➡️ How predictable meal timing and truly savoring your food can transform your metabolic calm.➡️ Why consistent sleep routines and circadian rhythm alignment are non-negotiable for cellular cleanup and repair.Key Takeaways:"When we're just in a state of being and not doing... that's when we get the biggest downloads." -Kellie Lupsha"All those receptors, producers, hormones, neurotransmitters... it's a beautiful symphony and orchestrated by design system." -Dr. Heidi1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

⚕️ "If you want to understand the health of a population, look at the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the places where they live."   More than 2,400 years ago, Hippocrates transformed medicine by arguing that disease had natural—not supernatural—causes. His emphasis on clinical observation, ethics, prognosis, professionalism, and compassionate care laid the foundation for modern medicine.   The Hippocratic Oath remains one of the most enduring ethical pledges in human history.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I'm reflecting on a life-changing return from Europe, where what started as a trip became something much deeper about time, family, health, and the way we choose to live our lives. I share what it was like traveling not just for myself, but with my mom in her 80s and my daughter abroad, and how that experience shifted the way I see “waiting” for the right time. This conversation is really about what happens when you stop postponing life and start actually living it.Key Highlights:➡️ Why my recent trip to Spain with my 81-year-old mom shifted my perspective on aging, health, and the legacy I want to leave behind. ➡️ Why we keep putting off our dream lives and how to stop waiting for the “perfect” moment to design your future. ➡️ Why the shared experiences with loved ones carry a value that no price tag can match. ➡️ How to notice when you have settled for “good enough” and the power of asking, Can I receive more? ➡️ The mindset shift that made me realize I did not have to trade all my time for income. ➡️ How a global shutdown forced me to rethink income, reclaim my time, and pivot into the online space. ➡️ Redefining a rich life as freedom, flexibility, and meaningful experiences, not just material spending. ➡️ A simple reflection exercise to see if you are actually enjoying your life and how to intentionally bring more fun into your week. Key Takeaways:"The memories, the experiences, the what we shared, that like cellular energy when you're together with somebody will never be forgotten." -Kellie Lupsha"Just take inventory of your life, take inventory of what you're doing, take inventory. Are you loving it? Are you having as much fun as you could?" -Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

I share my own stacks of half-finished notebooks, the lessons I've learned the hard way, and the powerful shift that happens when you stop asking “What's working for her?” and start asking “What's calling me?” This is your invitation to ditch distraction, reclaim your focus, and finally build a life, your life that moves the needle forward.Key Highlights:➡️ How “shiny object syndrome” can keep us from living our best life.➡️ Why alignment with your values and purpose matters more than trends➡️ The importance of asking yourself, “Is this really for me?” before saying yes.➡️ How to prioritize long-term goals over short-term gratification.➡️ Why fun and joy are essential in creating a meaningful life.➡️ How social pressures and external influences can distract from your path.➡️ Ways to activate your health naturally and optimize your body in midlife.➡️ How community and support can accelerate your transformation journey.Key Takeaways:“The number one way to optimal health and wellness is to activate the body… You've got to activate our natural healing processes to heal the gut, to reduce inflammation, to heal your brain.”-Kellie Lupsha“If you're true in alignment with who you want to become, the life that you want to live… when other things come your way, you won't jump on the bandwagon.”-Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

Greg Jenner is joined in the 16th century by Dr Alanna Skuse and comedian Ria Lina to learn all about medicine and medical professionals in Tudor and Stuart England.In Renaissance-era England, medicine was still based on the theory of the four humours, passed down from ancient Greek and Roman physicians like Hippocrates and Galen. But from the reign of Henry VIII, there were signs of change. The invention of the printing press led to an explosion in medical and anatomical books, and the circulation of ideas from across Europe. The College of Physicians was founded in 1518, and the Company of Barber-Surgeons in 1543. Medicine became a real business, with a range of specialists, professional bodies overseeing different kinds of healthcare, and an explosion of medical providers advertising their services to the general public.This episode explores the landscape of healthcare in 16th- and 17th-century England, looking at everyone from physicians, surgeons and apothecaries to domestic healers and midwives, and even taking in quacks and frauds. Along the way, it examines the sensible social distancing measures taken during the Great Plague, the cures both sensible and dangerous offered for all kinds of diseases, and the cutting-edge experiments men like William Harvey and Christopher Wren were carrying out on the circulation of the blood.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Cela peut sembler étrange aujourd'hui, mais au Moyen Âge, cette idée paraissait tout à fait logique.Lorsque la grande peste frappe l'Europe au XIVe siècle — la Black Death — elle tue des millions de personnes en quelques années. Face à une catastrophe d'une telle ampleur, les connaissances médicales de l'époque sont limitées. On ne connaît ni les bactéries, ni les virus. Il faut donc trouver une autre explication.Et cette explication vient… du ciel.Depuis l'Antiquité, l'astrologie et la médecine sont étroitement liées. Les savants s'appuient sur les travaux de Hippocrates et de Galen, selon lesquels la santé dépend de l'équilibre des “humeurs” du corps, influencées par l'environnement — y compris les astres. Dans ce cadre, les planètes ne sont pas de simples objets célestes : elles ont un impact direct sur la Terre et sur le corps humain.En 1345, une conjonction rare de trois planètes — Jupiter, Saturn et Mars — est observée dans le signe du Verseau. Pour les astrologues de l'époque, cet alignement perturbe l'air, le rend “corrompu”, et provoque des maladies. Plusieurs universités européennes publient même des rapports affirmant que cette configuration céleste est à l'origine de la peste.Cette théorie s'inscrit dans une vision du monde où le ciel et la Terre sont intimement liés. Si quelque chose d'anormal se produit sur Terre, il doit forcément avoir une cause cosmique. Et face à une maladie invisible, foudroyante, incompréhensible, le ciel offre une explication cohérente.Il faut aussi comprendre que les symptômes de la peste — fièvre, bubons, odeurs — sont souvent associés à un “air mauvais”. C'est la théorie des miasmes : l'idée que les maladies se transmettent par des vapeurs toxiques. Si l'air est corrompu… pourquoi ne le serait-il pas à cause des astres ?Bien sûr, cette explication est fausse. Aujourd'hui, on sait que la peste est causée par une bactérie, Yersinia pestis, transmise par les puces des rats. Mais à l'époque, sans microscope, cette réalité est invisible.Ce qui est fascinant, c'est que cette théorie n'était pas irrationnelle dans son contexte. Elle reposait sur les connaissances disponibles, sur une logique cohérente, et sur une tentative sincère de comprendre.En résumé, si l'on a pensé que la peste venait des étoiles, ce n'est pas par superstition naïve, mais parce que le ciel était, pour les hommes du Moyen Âge, une clé essentielle pour expliquer le monde… surtout quand la Terre devenait incompréhensible.

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife" The Women's Guide to Wellness, Longevity & Hormones After 40. This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I speak candidly and straight from the heart about something so many women over 40 are silently struggling with: postponing their lives. It's not about a lack of motivation or laziness. It's about losing touch with aliveness, that deep, purposeful energy that makes life feel rich, meaningful, and expansive. I share why waiting for the “right time” is quietly costing you your joy, confidence, and future self… and how one aligned decision can begin to reignite everything.Key Highlights:➡️ The real reason you feel stuck isn't laziness, it's disconnection from aliveness.➡️ “Later” is a slow leak draining your energy, joy, and confidence.➡️ Aliveness isn't the same as excitement, it's sustained engagement rooted in purpose.➡️ You don't need to feel ready. Readiness is a myth that keeps you waiting.➡️ Energy doesn't come before action. It follows movement and decision.➡️ Overthinking, people-pleasing, and normalized exhaustion quietly kill your dreams.➡️ One small, aligned step, even if it scares you, can shift your entire trajectory.➡️ Your comfort zone may feel safe, but it's where growth goes to sleep.➡️ High performers don't wait for motivation, they choose how they want to feel.➡️ Choosing aliveness now creates momentum in your confidence, clarity, health, and life expansion. Key Takeaways:“You're not unmotivated. You're not lazy. You're disconnected from aliveness.”-Kellie Lupsha“Stop putting life off. Start living like you are meant to live.”-Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

Content note: this episode discusses assisted dying, end-of-life choices, and suicide. Some listeners may find the content distressing.In April 2024, Daniel Kahneman — one of the most influential psychologists of the twentieth century — emailed his close friends to say goodbye. He was 90 years old, his kidneys were failing, his mental lapses were increasing, and he had decided it was time to go. He flew to Switzerland to end his life at an assisted dying clinic there, because New York, where he lived, did not permit it. Thirteen American states currently allow medical assistance in dying; most require a terminal diagnosis with death expected within six months. Canada, Belgium, and Switzerland allow it on broader terms. The UK introduced a bill to parliament, but it failed to pass. The debate on whether we have the right to end our own lives has not been resolved. This week Tim Phillips talks to Al Roth of Stanford University about how economics can contribute to the debate on medical aid in dying (MAID). Roth, a Nobel Prize laureate, has written a new book that argues this, and similar debates, often miss the key insight: the binary choice of “allow” versus “ban” rarely reflects reality. For example, in the United States, he explains that physicians in jurisdictions where assisted dying is illegal are familiar with the practice of administering doses of drugs that will relieve pain, but also end life. Roth's argument is not that assisted dying is always right. It is that a moral position that ignores the costs of a ban is not more ethical — it is less honest. Economists, he says, bring one specific thing to this debate: the insistence that trade-offs be made explicit.The book discussed in this episode:Roth, Alvin E. 2026. Moral Economics: What Controversial Transactions Reveal about How Markets Work. Basic Books. Published 21 May 2026.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Alvin Roth. 2026. “The right to choose to die." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestAlvin Roth is the Craig and Susan McCaw Professor of Economics at Stanford University. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2012, shared with Lloyd Shapley, for the theory of stable allocations and the practice of market design. He is one of the architects of modern matching market design, having redesigned the systems used in the United States to match medical residents to hospitals and students to schools. A previous book, Who Gets What — and Why, was published in 2014. Research cited in this episodeRepugnant transactions is Alvin Roth's term for a class of transactions that are controversial not because no one wants to engage in them — that would be disgust — but because some people do want to engage in them and others believe they should not be allowed to, typically on moral or religious grounds. The key feature is that the objectors suffer no direct externality from the transaction; their objection is to the thing happening at all, regardless of whether it affects them. Roth's examples across the book include medical aid in dying, kidney sales, paid blood plasma donation, surrogacy, and access to certain drugs. The policy implication is that repugnant transactions, unlike ordinary market failures, cannot be resolved by standard economic tools; they require explicit engagement with the moral contest and careful mechanism design to decide what is permitted, to whom, under what conditions.Oregon's Death with Dignity Act (1997) was the first US state law permitting physician-assisted dying. It requires a terminal diagnosis with death expected within six months, confirmation from two physicians, a waiting period, and self-administration of the medication by the patient. According to the 2024 report of the Oregon Health Authority, assisted dying accounts for roughly 0.9% of all deaths in Oregon; many patients who obtain a prescription never use it. Oregon's 27 years of data make it the most-studied model for the policy, and its take-up rates and population demographics have informed both advocates and critics in other jurisdictions.Ezekiel Emanuel and vulnerable populations: A 2016 paper by physician and bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel and co-authors examined the demographics of patients who access assisted dying in jurisdictions where it is legal and found no evidence that vulnerable populations — defined by disability, age, mental illness, or socioeconomic status — accessed it at higher rates than the broader population of dying patients. Roth cites this as evidence against the argument that legalisation creates pressure on the vulnerable to choose death, while noting that this population-level finding does not rule out individual cases of pressure.The Hippocratic Oath is the earliest recorded professional commitment by physicians not to participate in assisted dying. Roth notes that Hippocrates formulated the oath in the fifth century CE, and that the very inclusion of a prohibition on helping patients die implies the practice was already occurring — physicians were being asked to do it. The religious objection — that decisions about life and death belong to God — and the medical objection — that a physician's role is to save life, not end it — have both been consistent features of opposition to assisted dying across more than two millennia.The Canadian Supreme Court decision (Carter v. Canada, 2015) struck down Canada's criminal prohibition on physician-assisted dying on the grounds that it infringed Canadians' constitutional rights to life and to security of the person. The court's reasoning included the counterintuitive argument that denying access to assisted dying could cause people to end their lives earlier and less safely — while still capable of doing so — out of fear of being unable to later. The Canadian framework that followed is more permissive than US state laws: it does not require a terminal diagnosis but instead an irremediable condition causing intolerable suffering. Canada has since debated, and repeatedly delayed, extending the framework to mental illness as a sole underlying condition.Mechanism design is the field of economics concerned with designing rules, institutions, and processes to achieve desired outcomes, particularly in settings where participants have private information or conflicting interests. Roth is one of its leading practitioners. In the context of assisted dying, mechanism design asks: who can apply, through what process, verified by whom, with what waiting periods, and with what safeguards against coercion or mistaken diagnosis? The differences between Oregon's model (terminal diagnosis, self-administration, annual reporting), Canada's model (irremediable suffering, physician or nurse practitioner administration permitted), and Switzerland's model (available to non-residents) are, in Roth's framing, different mechanism designs with measurably different outcomes.More VoxTalks Economics episodesIn February, Tim spoke to Martin Ellison and Julian Ashwin about what decisions seniors will take about their later years and whether policy can accommodate both their abilities and their needs.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Heidi to unpack a conversation I know so many of you have been quietly asking about. We're diving into the real reason why certain metabolic supports and wellness protocols eventually seem to lose their spark, and why chasing a higher dose or a newer product often misses the bigger picture entirely. We're sharing exactly why the internal environment you build before you start matters more than the tool itself, and how small, daily shifts can completely change how your body responds. If you're ready to move past quick fixes and step into sustainable, long-term vitality, this conversation is for you.Key Highlights:➡️ Why your body might eventually put the brakes on popular peptide therapies➡️ How chronic stress and nervous system overload can quietly block your metabolic response➡️ Why gut regularity and receptor health must come before introducing any new supplement➡️ The exact daily foundations I always tell clients to master first for optimal absorption➡️ What really happens inside your body when constant “food noise” finally fades away➡️ How to strategically fuel yourself when your natural appetite shrinks➡️ Why I always recommend looking past the scale to track what actually matters for longevity➡️ The far-reaching benefits of GLP-1 support that go way past weight managementKey Takeaways:“If you're not preparing the terrain… reducing that chronic inflammation and supporting the gut… then we can't expect things to just work perfectly.” -Kellie Lupsha“If your microbiome is dysregulated… it can't make a GLP-1 and it can't process a peptide that you're giving.” -Dr. Heidi1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, Dr. Heidi and I recently sat down to talk about something we've both felt creeping into our own health journeys: wellness overwhelm. Between the endless stream of new gadgets, targeted supplement ads, and conflicting routine advice, it's so easy to feel like we're constantly falling behind. In this conversation, we're stripping away the hype and getting back to the foundational pillars that actually move the needle. We'll walk through the few non-negotiables that truly support our bodies as we age, share how to identify what's worth your time (and money), and help you figure out what you can safely let go of.Key Highlights:➡️ How constant ads, trends, and health “must-haves” create a false sense of urgency that makes people feel like they're always missing something.➡️ The three daily supplements worth prioritizing (and the expiration trap to watch for)➡️ Why chasing perfect macros takes a backseat to prioritizing plate diversity➡️ The free, everyday movement habits that actually build lasting strength without a gym membership➡️ How to decide which wellness gadgets earn a permanent spot vs. collecting dust➡️ Using simple temperature shifts to trigger the body's natural cellular cleanup systems➡️ A low-effort morning ritual for nervous system activation (no ice bath required)➡️ Why shared movement and community often outperform solo routinesKey Takeaways:"Take one step forward. Change one new meal out, add one new thing, just integrate more fiber." -Kellie Lupsha"Diversity is going to build a more robust microbiome. It's going to feed the better strands of good bacteria... that can thrive and grow and protect you and make neurotransmitters." -Dr. Heidi1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

The ancients, -Greeks and Romans alike- were equally worried about the relationship of health and food, and the balance between a healthy diet and a delicious one.More so than in our days, diet played a role in preventing and curing diseases, and in fact it was one of the main areas of study even a thousand years later at medieval European medical schools.Medical writers, doctors and philosophers of the ancient world, from Hippocrates to Galen and Oreibasius to Haly Abbas in Islamic Persia all obsessed and thought about the connection of diet and healthy body.The notion of humours and the idea that disease was related to some imbalance of them was only one of many theories in antiquity- some of which, completely ignored them. For Galen though the definitive theory was that articulated in the Hippocratic Nature Of Man. The nature of Man was made up of blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile, and it was through these that the body felt pain and maintained health. If their balance was unevenly disturbed the body experienced disease.To find out more, listen to the episode!The music on this episode was written and performed by the incredible Pavlos Kapralos.Find out more here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzgAonk4-uVhXXjKSF-Nz1AEnjoy,Thom & The Delicious LegacySupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I dive into a conversation that reframed how I see fear, decision-making, and progress, especially for women navigating health, business, and everyday life. We're surrounded by more information than ever through podcasts, social media, and expert opinions, yet so many of us still feel stuck. Not because we don't know what to do, but because we don't trust ourselves enough to move forward.This episode is all about one powerful shift: certainty. Not as a personality trait, but as a practice of self-leadership. If you've been overthinking, starting and stopping, or waiting to feel ready, this conversation will challenge you in the best way.Key Highlights:➡️ Why waiting for a “perfect” block of time is actually the quickest way to stall your daily momentum.➡️ How constantly asking others for the “best” answer quietly chips away at your self-trust.➡️ The common belief that you need to see proof first before you can fully commit to your next step.➡️ The subtle ways your nervous system stays locked in tension when you're caught in “what if” loops.➡️ Why showing up on the mundane, unglamorous days is where real, lasting progress actually lives.➡️ A quick spring-cleaning practice for your social feeds to stop the comparison and decision fatigue.➡️ My simple calendar-blocking technique to eliminate decision fatigue and actually keep my promises to myself. ➡️ A simple prompt to identify just one area of your life to stop spinning on and start leading with quiet confidence. Key Takeaways:“The problem isn't lack of information, it's this problem with certainty.” -Kellie Lupsha"Certainty is just like this abundant feeling because it's going to come with calm. It's going to come with you deciding and moving." -Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Heidi to cut through the noise surrounding one of the most requested topics in women's health right now: hormone replacement therapy. We've all heard the recent conversations about how it's finally safer to explore, but I know so many of you are still sitting there wondering where to actually begin. Which delivery method should I even ask for? How do I start that conversation with my practitioner without feeling lost? Today, we're pulling back the curtain on the real pros, cons, and hidden mechanics behind the most common options, plus sharing exactly how we would approach our own health journey.Key Highlights:➡️ Why it's never too late to finally bring up hormone therapy with your provider.➡️ How the most popular delivery methods actually interact with your body.➡️ Why steady, consistent dosing matters more than chasing quick fixes.➡️ The everyday realities and trade-offs of using patches versus pellets.➡️ Why certain topical creams and injections might be undermining your progress.➡️ The realistic timeline you should wait before safely considering a dosage adjustment.➡️ How to strategically choose your starting point among estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.➡️ Why tuning into your body's daily feedback matters just as much as the numbers on your lab report.Key Takeaways:“And I guess the only downfall is if you really work consistent on the dose you needed, it's a little harder to change.” -Kellie Lupsha"Testosterone is kind of the... leader actually... women have more testosterone made in our body than a man does... because we have to downregulate it into more estrogens." -Dr. Heidi1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, Dr. Heidi and I dive deep into the conversation that actually brought us together: cellular health, DNA, and the genetics behind true energy. We're moving beyond surface-level tips and really exploring how to turn the power on inside your own biology. If you've ever wondered why you still feel fatigued despite doing "all the things," this one's for you. We're talking about your body's operating system: your cells. Join us as we unpack how to support your mitochondria, reduce oxidative stress, and upgrade your energy from the inside out.Key Highlights:➡️ Why true energy generation starts deep within your cells, not just from what you eat or drink on the surface.➡️ How your body's powerhouse actually controls the switches on your genetic expression and turns genes on or off.➡️ The difference between taking supplements and ensuring the nutrients actually get inside the cell to work.➡️The invisible "rust" and inflammation that ages our bodies and drains vitality daily.➡️ A serious conversation about EMFs and the everyday devices impacting your mitochondrial health without you realizing it.➡️ How circadian rhythm, light exposure, and meal timing speak directly to your biology's internal clock.➡️ Why your preparation for bed and time spent in deep REM sleep matters more than just the hours spent in it.➡️ How cortisol and melatonin transitions regulate energy and recovery.Key Takeaways:"Even if we do all the things, if we don't address the cellular health, we still are missing a really big component of being able to generate that energy. Because we really have to think it starts at the cell."-Kellie Lupsha"NRF2 is a gene. We all have it... it is the major switch that then signals over 500... genes that then get turned on to reduce oxidative stress, reduce inflammaging, reduce toxicity in the body."-Dr. Heidi1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I open up about a pivotal season in my life that began with a single phone call and unfolded into a series of moments that redefined everything familiar to me. It's a reflection on love, family, responsibility, and what it means to stay grounded when life moves faster than your ability to process it. I also share how those experiences continue to shape the way I show up today personally, professionally, and emotionally.My hope is that as I walk you through this story, it invites you to reflect on your own resilience and the moments that have shaped who you are becoming.Key Highlights:➡️ I share the experience of receiving unexpected news that instantly shifted the course of an ordinary day.➡️ How life can shift in an instant, even when everything seemed “fine”➡️ What it felt like navigating life while things were quietly unfolding behind the scenes.➡️ How both of my kids unknowingly spent intentional, meaningful time with their father just weeks before everything changed.➡️ A moment where personal life and professional responsibilities collided in real time.➡️ How quickly decisions had to be made across distances, schedules, and emotions.➡️ What it looked like to still navigate responsibilities while carrying emotional weight.➡️ Why I believe every difficult chapter is an invitation to grow bolder➡️ How this experience continues to shape my understanding of growth, identity, and moving forward after life-altering moments.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I am sharing a topic that I believe is one of the biggest missing links in our health journey: nervous system regulation. I know so many of us feel like we're running on empty, constantly doing too much, and wondering why we feel exhausted yet unable to relax. I'm explaining why your body needs to feel safe before it can truly heal, and how shifting out of survival mode can instantly bring your energy back online.Key Highlights:➡️ How living in a constant state of "fight or flight" becomes our new normal without us even realizing it.➡️ Why feeling "wired but tired" is actually a sign your body is stuck in survival mode.➡️ Why digestion, repair, and energy production halt when your body doesn't feel safe.➡️ Why ignoring early signs of dysregulation can lead to bigger health issues down the road.➡️ Simple breathwork techniques that can reset your nervous system in just a few moments.➡️ How tuning into what you see, hear, and feel can bring you back to safety quickly.➡️ Why somatic movement and sunlight might serve your energy better than pushing hard at the gym.➡️ How to set the stage for deep, restorative sleep so your body can finally repair itself. Key Takeaways:"The number one thing... you have with us at all times is your breath... It's the body's protection to get you back in a state of calm, to get you back in a state of safety." -Kellie Lupsha"Safety is the number one thing your body needs to feel... how do we get out of sympathetic and get into the parasympathetic? It's finding the safety inside our bodies." -Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

But this isn't just about lifting weights; it's about unlocking your body's innate energy factory. We're shifting the mindset from "I have to work out" to "I get to generate power." Whether you're joining us now or catching up, know that you can jump in anytime. Let's build that intentional energy together.Key Highlights:➡️ Why deciding your energy level before you even wake up sets the tone for your entire day.➡️ Why muscle is actually your body's energy bank account and how it regulates everything from insulin to immunity.➡️ The truth about bone health, resilience, and the reality of recovery after age 50.➡️ How strength training signals your body to maintain vital hormone levels even after menopause.➡️ Why you don't need hours in the gym to see real results: quality over quantity is key.➡️ The truth about why women won't accidentally become bodybuilders despite lifting heavy.➡️ One thing most people miss that prevents injury and maximizes gain during every movement.➡️ How squeezing a muscle literally signals your cells to create more ATP and mitochondria.Key Takeaways:"It's not waiting for the next version of a peptide or the next greatest… monitor that we're wearing for us to get better. We literally have what we need, but we have to have the mindset that I'm going to slow down and purposely activate these things." -Kellie Lupsha"Our muscles… regulate our immune system. They regulate insulin. They protect our bones… every time they squeeze… they produce osteokines, myokines… They make all these enzymes, these kinases that support vasculature, repair." -Dr. Heidi1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I dive into a topic that's been on my heart after a friend mentioned "luck" in relation to health, and it hit me because I've heard it my whole life. People tell me I'm "just lucky" when they see my fitness, my energy, or how I manage my weight. But is it really luck? I'm sharing why I believe success in health isn't about chance, but about preparation meeting timing. If you've ever wondered whether you're stacking the odds for your well-being or just hoping for the best, this conversation is for you.Key Highlights:➡️ The truth behind why people call my health "lucky" instead of acknowledging the work.➡️ Why true success is actually preparation meeting timing, not just chance.➡️ The surprising age when our biological clock actually starts turning back.➡️ Why playing "Russian roulette" with your lifestyle choices isn't worth the risk.➡️ What my personal genetic testing revealed about my predispositions to disease.➡️ The shocking statistic on how many adults actually have optimal metabolic health.➡️ The vital body markers you need to know beyond just your weight.➡️ How to stop leaving your wellness up to luck and start preparing for a vibrant life. Key Takeaways:"Once you are in poor health, reclaiming your health back sucks. Bottom line, it's hard to do. It's exhausting. And mental health issues arise. It's financially difficult. It's a burden on your family and the community. There's nothing good or easy about poor health." -Kellie Lupsha"Enjoy life, but prepare and be ready and be open to receive... The perfect timing will come and give you exactly what you deserve." -Kellie Lupsha1️⃣ JOIN US IN THE WOMEN'S LONGEVITY & WELLNESS HUB!A Functional Medicine, Wellness, and Coaching Membership designed just for women over 50.

But we're not just talking about what it is, we're uncovering whether those pricey injections and IVs are really the most effective way to get it. We explore how your body is already designed to produce this master antioxidant and how you can support that natural process in smarter, more sustainable ways. Join us as we explore the science of recycling, gene activation, and how to get the most impact for your health without breaking the bank.Key Highlights:➡️ Why we often take our internal processes for granted until we feel sick or slowed down.➡️ What glutathione is and why it's crucial for immunity and detoxification.➡️ The important distinction between your body making glutathione versus you simply adding it externally.➡️ How we visualize glutathione taking hits from free radicals and getting back online.➡️ Why the body's ability to recycle antioxidants is just as important as producing them.➡️ The specific foods and nutrients, like selenium and arugula, that signal production.➡️ The pros and cons of IVs, injections, pills, and liposomal forms.➡️ Practical, cost-effective strategies to support long-term health and vitality.Key Takeaways:"Glutathione is the master antioxidant that our body makes.

We have talked a lot about energy, performance, and wellness but today I open up about a different layer of transformation. I explore how meditation is not just about relaxing or calming down, but about intentionally becoming someone new. I take you behind the scenes of what I am practicing in my own life and how this work is reshaping the way I think about healing, identity, and possibility.Key Highlights:➡️ Why meditation isn't just about calming down, but rather a deliberate act of installing a new personality to change your personal reality.➡️ How moving from high beta survival states into alpha and theta waves opens the door for rewiring and creation.➡️ The powerful concept that current circumstances cannot change without a shift in personality.➡️ Why visualization alone is insufficient and why one must feel the emotions of gratitude before evidence appears.➡️ How the body memorizes past states and the necessity of breaking addiction to old emotional patterns to find safety.➡️ The importance of consistency is highlighted, specifically rehearsing a new identity morning and night to compound changes.➡️ The specific framework involving induction, dissolving the old self, and installing the new self for measurable change.Key Takeaways:"Meditation is the deliberate act of installing a new personality.

Whether you feel like you're running on empty or you just want to go from an eight to a ten on your energy scale, we are breaking down the secret sauce your body needs. We're talking about those tiny structures inside you called mitochondria, why you aren't lazy even if you feel exhausted, and how we can flip the switch to create a positive feedback loop in our health.Key Highlights:➡️ Why feeling tired in your late 30s, 40s, and 50s is often a systemic change rather than a character flaw.➡️ What mitochondria actually do and why healthy ones equal better energy.➡️ Simple formula involving food and oxygen that your body uses to produce ATP.➡️ Why our mitochondria become less efficient as we age and how hormonal shifts play a role.➡️ The difference between the negative energy loop and the positive feedback loop we want to achieve.➡️ The modern habit that silently interferes with how your body creates energy.➡️ Why moving your body is essential to triggering your energy switches, even when you're tired.➡️ How stress regulation and giving yourself grace can unclog your mitochondrial signals.Key Takeaways:"Mitochondria affect your muscles, your sleep, your brain, your gut… it's the missing secret sauce to energy." - Kellie Lupsha"Laughter, joy, meditation, being around friends that we love, socialization... this is key for a healthy mitochondria." - Dr. Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

"Since the 80s, we've been brainwashed to believe that eggs are bad for us, butter is bad for us, dairy is bad for us, red meat is bad for us. And it's just not true." If you've been told your cholesterol is "too high"... if you're on a statin drug and wondering if it's actually helping... if you care about preventing heart disease instead of just managing it... this episode is your wake-up call. It's Heart Health Month, and Dr. Terri is cutting through decades of misinformation to reveal what's REALLY driving cardiovascular disease — and it's not cholesterol. From the gut-heart connection to the six hormones that could save your life, this is the heart health conversation your doctor probably isn't having with you. Here's the truth: "The highest gross revenue producing drug in the history of drugs — billions of dollars — and since they've come out in the 80s, cardiovascular disease rates and death from cardiovascular disease have actually gotten worse, not better." WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why heart disease is a disease of INFLAMMATION, not cholesterol → The shocking truth about statin drugs — and why heart disease has gotten WORSE since the 80s → How cholesterol-lowering drugs are literally shrinking your brain (the brain is 70% cholesterol) → The connection between statins, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's (now called Type 3 Diabetes) → Why "all disease begins in the gut" — Hippocrates said it 2,000 years ago and it's still true → How estradiol reduced cardiovascular disease progression by 50% in women who already had plaque → Why testosterone is powerfully protective for men's hearts (not just for energy and muscle) → The one organ that can't make its own T3 thyroid hormone — your heart → Why your "normal" lab ranges are based on a sick population (and what optimal ACTUALLY looks like) → The phone scrolling habit that's destroying your melatonin AND your heart health → The inverse relationship between cortisol and DHEA that's wrecking your cardiovascular system → The vitamin D level that triggers a 5x cancer risk and 160% increased cardiovascular disease risk → The 6 hormones you need optimized for true heart disease prevention This isn't about managing heart disease with more prescriptions. It's about understanding the root cause — inflammation — and optimizing the hormones your body needs to protect itself. YOUR ACTION STEPS: Get a deep-dive lipid panel (particle size, ApoA, ApoB), check your hormone levels, ask about a coronary artery calcium score, and focus on OPTIMAL — not just "normal."

After 30 years as a physical therapist, I've learned that true vitality comes from activating your body's systems and prioritizing fun. We explore navigating midlife with abundance, the power of music and movement, and how small shifts can spark a ripple of joy, helping you live boldly now and for the future.Key Highlights:➡️ Why we need to stop chasing symptoms and start looking at the body's energy systems to create real change.➡️ How prioritizing fun shifts your mood, mindset, and even how your body feels during midlife.➡️ Simple ways to use music while cooking or driving to immediately activate your energy and movement.➡️ Redefining creativity not just as art, but as a leadership mindset in your health and home.➡️ The practice of intentionally noticing beauty on your walks and how it reconnects you to nature.➡️Why swapping out morning carbs for protein and smart snacks can prevent energy crashes throughout the day.➡️The two biggest habits for lasting energy, including why muscle is your metabolic currency.Key Takeaways:"You've got to activate your life, activate first. And let's start looking at healing our systems and not just looking at the symptoms. And if we can start with fun, then I'm all in." -Kellie Lupsha"Muscle is your energetic currency.

Greg Jenner is joined in the sixteenth century by Dr Alanna Skuse and comedian Ria Lina to learn all about medicine and medical professionals in Tudor and Stuart England. In Renaissance-era England, medicine was still based on the theory of the four humours, passed down from ancient Greek and Roman physicians like Hippocrates and Galen. But from the reign of Henry VIII, there were signs of change. The invention of the printing press led to an explosion in medical and anatomical books, and the circulation of ideas from across Europe. The College of Physicians was founded in 1518, and the Company of Barber-Surgeons in 1543. Medicine became a real business, with a range of specialists, professional bodies overseeing different kinds of healthcare, and an explosion of medical providers advertising their services to the general public. This episode explores the landscape of healthcare in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England, looking at everyone from physicians, surgeons and apothecaries to domestic healers and midwives, and even taking in quacks and frauds. Along the way, it examines the sensible social distancing measures taken during the Great Plague, the cures both sensible and dangerous offered for all kinds of diseases, and the cutting-edge experiments men like William Harvey and Christopher Wren were carrying out on the circulation of the blood. If you're a fan of the history of everyday life in Tudor England, petty professional rivalries, and the whacky wellness trends of the past, you'll love our episode on medicine in Renaissance England. If you want more from Ria Lina, listen to our episodes on pirate queen Zheng Yi Sao and medieval traveller Marco Polo. And for more on the history of health and wellness, check out our episodes on Ancient Medicine, Renaissance Beauty and the Kellogg Brothers.

Agile in Construction: The DOWNTIME Strategy—Eliminating Waste Before Adding Process With Felipe Engineer-Manriquez Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "My first rule is that I will do no harm. And if something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility with leadership. My neck is literally on the line." - Felipe Engineer-Manriquez   Felipe shares his change strategy for introducing Lean and Agile into construction projects, and it starts with an unexpected principle borrowed from Hippocrates: do no harm. He explicitly tells teams this promise, putting his neck on the line to build trust. But the real magic happens in what comes next: instead of adding new processes, Felipe first helps teams stop doing things. Using the DOWNTIME acronym (Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Excess processing), he identifies wasteful activities that don't add value. In construction, 60-80% of every dollar doesn't add value from the customer's perspective—compared to manufacturing (above 50% value) or agriculture (90% value). Felipe's approach: eliminate waste first to create excess capacity, then introduce new processes. On a project that was 2 years behind schedule with lawyers already engaged, he spent just 5 minutes with the team defining a visible milestone goal on a whiteboard. Two weeks later, they met their schedule and improved by 4 days—the first time ever. The superintendent said, "Never in the entire time I've worked here have we ever met a schedule commitment." The secret? Free up capacity before adding anything new.   In this episode, we refer to the 8 wastes video by Orbus and WIP limits.   Self-reflection Question: Before introducing your next process improvement, what wasteful activity could you help your team stop doing to free up the capacity they need to embrace change?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Hippocrates (ca. 460–375 bc) brought medicine out of the realm of the superstitious and into the light of testing and observation. But he didn’t lose sight of the patient’s humanity. “It is far more important to know what person the disease has,” he said, “than what disease the person has.” The apostle Paul cared for a church with multiple problems, yet he saw the humanity of each member—including a man who’d committed a sin “that even pagans do not tolerate” (1 Corinthians 5:1). Paul dealt strongly with the “disease,” and the man repented. Now, as he wrote another letter to the church in Corinth, Paul had affirming instructions for all of them. He recognized that this man’s sin had affected everyone. “He has grieved all of you to some extent,” he said (2 Corinthians 2:5). But since the man had turned from his sin, Paul said, “Reaffirm your love for him” (v. 8). His motivation was clear: “I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you” (v. 4). He knew them all. And he loved them. Sin affects us all. Behind each sin is a human being. When we’ve been wronged, it may be difficult to work toward restoration, yet that’s what God calls us to do. Know the person. Then, in Christ’s strength, love them.
