Hour 1 of Rush to Reason sets a powerful tone for Health and Wellness Wednesday as John Rush welcomes guests who challenge listeners to rethink stress, purpose, and personal health during the most demanding season of the year. Financial expert Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com/) opens with urgent year-end reminders and a bigger question: what if the most meaningful gift isn't money at all, but service to those quietly struggling around us? The conversation then turns inward with Owen Marcus, founder and CEO of MELD (Men's Emotional Leadership Development / https://meld.community) and author of Grow Up: A Man's Guide to Emotional Maturity. Why do so many men try to carry holiday pressure alone? Owen explains how chronic stress affects the body and reveals simple tools — breathwork, connection, and co-regulation — that can restore resilience when life feels overwhelming. Finally, Dr. Julie Gatz dives into “jingle belly” season, exposing how skipping breakfast, dehydration, cravings, and digestive distress may be sabotaging energy and brain health. Could smarter food choices, hydration, and listening to your gut be the key to surviving the holidays feeling stronger instead of stuffed? This hour teases practical insights that just might change how you finish the year. When ordering from https://naturessources.com/ or calling 800-827-7656, use code: RADIO for a discount. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason delivers a fast-moving mix of leadership, local outrage, and global politics as John Rush challenges listeners to think bigger about accountability and strength. The hour opens with Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com), author and leadership expert, who breaks down why great leaders stay calm under pressure while poor leaders panic. Drawing on powerful moments from history — Apollo 13, Gettysburg, and the Battle of the Bulge — Richard asks: when everything is on the line, do you react emotionally or lead with clarity and confidence? The conversation then turns fiery as John takes on Colorado's power outages, questions Xcel Energy, and lawsuits tied to the Marshall Fire, and asks whether politics and the courts are leaving everyday people in the dark. Who's really responsible — utilities, lawmakers, judges, or underprepared homeowners? Hour 2 closes with Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://www.yaas.org), diving into President Trump's tough stance on cartels, border security, and Venezuela. Is this saber-rattling… or strength through peace? From fentanyl deaths to socialist collapse, Sunny challenges listeners to look at history and ask: what should America do when families and freedoms are at stake? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason tackles high-stakes economics and global power as John Rush welcomes two sharp minds to break down what's next for America. Jim Paff of https://theconservativecaucus.com previews President Trump's Oval Office address, asking: Will Trump make the case that inflation has plateaued, confront corruption in Venezuela, and call out the Federal Reserve for holding back growth? Jim warns about China's influence in our hemisphere, the rise of NGO power, and why the Monroe Doctrine still matters. Is bold leadership abroad the key to stability at home? The hour then shifts into market reality with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com), who dives into tech stock sell-offs, inflation data, and why the Fed's rate decisions affect everything from credit cards to mortgages. Scott also unpacks China's weakening economy, Trump's tariff strategy, and where smart money could move next. Could small-cap stocks be the sleeper play for 2026? From debt and inflation to trade wars and opportunity, Hour 3 asks: are we ready for the economic crossroads ahead?

In this special holiday-season edition of Late Night Health, host Mark Alyn sits down with Samantha Picking, Senior Director of Immunizations at Walgreens, to discuss what may be one of the most unpredictable respiratory virus seasons in recent years. With increased travel, family gatherings, and colder weather converging, the conversation focuses on how Americans can protect themselves against flu, COVID-19, RSV, and pneumonia during the busiest time of year.Picking explains that respiratory illnesses historically ramp up in December, driven largely by holiday travel and social gatherings. To help consumers stay informed, she highlights the Walgreens Respiratory Index, a publicly available online tool that tracks real-time flu and COVID-19 activity nationwide. According to the index, California currently ranks in the middle of the pack for acute respiratory illness activity—an encouraging sign, but one that can change quickly given how unpredictable virus spread can be.A major theme of the discussion centers on vaccine safety and accessibility. Picking emphasizes that vaccines are backed by extensive scientific data and remain one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death. She encourages listeners not to delay, noting that it's not too late to receive recommended vaccinations, including flu, COVID-19, RSV, and pneumonia. Importantly, she clarifies that it is safe to receive multiple vaccines in a single visit—often the easiest option for busy individuals and families.Walgreens' convenience plays a key role in removing barriers to care. Vaccinations are available through walk-ins or scheduled appointments online, via the app, or by phone, with the option to vaccinate up to four people in one visit. Many vaccines are covered at no cost with insurance or Medicare, and Walgreens pharmacists are available to provide personalized guidance based on individual health needs.Beyond vaccinations, Picking shares practical prevention tips, such as frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and preparing a travel health kit. She also offers advice for managing symptoms if illness occurs, including testing, over-the-counter remedies, immune-supporting vitamins, and same-day delivery options.The conversation closes with a clear takeaway: staying vaccinated, informed, and prepared is the best way to protect yourself and loved ones this holiday season.#walgreensBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, Elizabeth Sherman pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest reasons women end the holiday season feeling exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from themselves: the Martyr Myth.If you've ever found yourself doing everything for everyone else—wrapping the gifts, cooking the meals, organizing the schedule—while telling yourself, “It's just easier if I do it,” this episode will hit home. Elizabeth explains why high-achieving women so often fall into this role, how over-functioning quietly destroys your health, and why taking your hands off the wheel (even a little) might be the most healing thing you do this year.With a mix of humor, tough love, and compassionate truth-telling, she'll show you how to stop running on fumes and start reclaiming your energy, boundaries, and self-respect. Because you can't keep calling exhaustion “love” and burnout “tradition.”This is part one of Elizabeth's 4-part Holiday Health Series, helping midlife women feel good in their bodies, enjoy the season without guilt, and step into January energized instead of depleted.The Biggest Problem Midlife Women Face Regarding Holiday BurnoutMost women in midlife carry the invisible load of making the holidays happen for everyone else. From meal planning and gift buying to emotional management and conflict prevention, they do it all—and believe they don't have a choice. This constant over-functioning creates chronic stress, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, and emotional burnout.The root issue isn't lack of willpower—it's the belief that “no one else can do it right.” Over time, this mindset trains everyone around you to under-function, leaving you overworked and unseen. You think you're being helpful, but your body and nervous system are paying the price. The result is a cycle of exhaustion, resentment, and poor health that repeats every holiday season.To break the pattern, you must understand that control has a cost. Every “I'll just do it myself” moment erodes your energy, immune system, and ability to rest and recover. Recognizing this is the first step toward reclaiming your time, your well-being, and your sanity.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy the “holiday martyr” mindset keeps women trapped in exhaustion—and how to finally step out of itHow over-functioning and people-pleasing create chronic stress and physical symptoms in midlifeSimple ways to let go of control without letting everything fall apartWhat it looks like to model real leadership and love through delegation and boundariesHow to enter January proud, not punishedWhat You Can Do Right NowStart by noticing where you've taken on responsibility that doesn't belong to you. Choose one low-risk task to delegate—something that won't ruin Christmas if it's done imperfectly. When someone else does it, resist the urge to hover, correct, or redo it. Every time you stay quiet and let them learn, you retrain your family to participate instead of depend.RESOURCESFeel Good Holiday PlaybookEpisode 243 — The High-Functioning Co-Dependent with Sara FiskEpisode 123 — How People Pleasing Impacts Your HealthEpisode 127 — Best Supporting Actress in Your LifeGet full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/hhs-4

The holiday season has a way of turning capable, health-conscious women into overextended versions of themselves. Between travel, parties, family expectations, and endless to-do lists, it feels like you either have to be perfect or give up completely. In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, Elizabeth Sherman shows you a third option—the Bare Minimum Holiday Plan. She explains how defining your personal "minimums" for movement, food, rest, and emotional care can help you stay consistent without adding pressure or guilt. If you've ever started December with great intentions and ended up saying, "Forget it, I'll start again in January," this conversation will change how you approach the season. You'll learn to find a rhythm that keeps you grounded and proud—no perfection required. This is Episode 3 in the 4-part Holiday Health Series, designed to help midlife women feel strong, calm, and in control from Thanksgiving through the New Year.     The Biggest Problem Midlife Women Face Regarding Holiday Health Most midlife women approach the holidays with an all-or-nothing mindset. They push themselves to maintain every routine, every tradition, and every expectation—until one missed workout or extra cookie becomes the signal to abandon it all. This perfection-then-collapse cycle fuels exhaustion, weight gain, inflammation, and guilt that lasts well into January. What's really happening isn't lack of willpower—it's lack of boundaries and realistic planning. Midlife bodies and nervous systems need recovery and rhythm, not rigid rules. Without clear "bare minimums," women default to overdoing or giving up, never finding the steady middle ground where real health lives.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How to identify your non-negotiable habits that keep you feeling good—without overcomplicating them Why setting bare minimums actually improves consistency and self-trust How to avoid the all-or-nothing spiral when life, travel, or family chaos hits The surprising link between doing less and sustaining energy, metabolism, and mood How to use the Feel Good Holiday  Playbook to stay grounded all season long     What You Can Do Right Now Grab a notebook and make four quick lists: movement, food, sleep, and emotional care. For each, write down the bare minimum that helps you feel like yourself. Maybe it's a 15-minute walk, one vegetable per meal, a 10 p.m. bedtime, or five minutes alone in the car before you go inside. These minimums become your anchor. When the calendar fills up or travel throws you off, come back to these simple actions instead of giving up. If you want extra guidance, structure, and reminders, the Feel Good Holiday Playbook walks you through creating and keeping these habits with quick videos, worksheets, and email support.     The Listener Takeaway: Why This Episode Matters You don't need a perfect plan to feel good this holiday season—you need a doable one. By defining your bare minimums, you replace guilt and chaos with clarity and calm. You'll stop starting over every Monday (or every January) and finish the season feeling proud, rested, and connected to your body. Because health isn't built in grand gestures. It's built in the small, steady choices you keep—especially when life gets messy.     RESOURCES Feel Good Holiday Playbook Episode 2 — Food & Body Triggers Episode 2 — The Invisible Load and Boundary Setting Episode 4 — Dismantling the Martyr Myth   Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/HHS-3

Between shopping lists, social calendars, and endless wrapping paper, it can feel like the entire weight of the holidays rests on your shoulders. You're not imagining it — that invisible load is real, and it's costing you more than just sleep. In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, Elizabeth unpacks why so many women feel responsible for making the holidays "magical" for everyone else — and why that pressure leaves them exhausted, resentful, and off track with their health by January. You'll learn how cultural conditioning, people-pleasing, and "scope creep" quietly chip away at your energy and self-care, plus the one mindset shift that can help you reclaim calm and joy this season. This episode will show you that boundaries aren't selfish; they're the key to your sanity and your health. If you've ever sworn you'd "do less next year" but somehow ended up doing even more, this conversation is your turning point. The Biggest Problem Midlife Women Face Regarding the Invisible Load Midlife women often carry an invisible mental checklist that runs nonstop through the holiday season: buying gifts, cooking, planning events, and managing everyone else's happiness. This unspoken expectation — that they should be the "magic-makers" — is deeply ingrained in our culture. The result is a chronic sense of obligation, stress, and guilt that prevents them from enjoying the holidays or caring for their own well-being. This invisible load doesn't just lead to exhaustion — it directly affects physical health. Lack of sleep, emotional eating, skipped workouts, and over-drinking become coping mechanisms for the overwhelm. Over time, these small daily choices compound into burnout, hormone imbalance, and that "I feel off but can't pinpoint why" feeling so many women describe. Recognizing the invisible load for what it is — unpaid, unnoticed labor — is the first step to reclaiming your energy and peace of mind. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why women feel solely responsible for creating holiday joy — and how cultural conditioning keeps that cycle going. The hidden connection between stress, overeating, and midlife fatigue. A simple boundary-setting exercise that helps you find your "bare minimum" — and actually stick to it. What You Can Do Right Now Start by writing down everything you think you have to do this holiday season — from decorating to baking to shopping. Then, ask yourself: What's truly required, and what's optional? This process separates what's essential from what's nice-to-have, so you can focus your time and energy on what actually matters. Make these decisions when you're calm, not when you're in panic mode. Keep that list somewhere visible and refer back to it whenever "scope creep" shows up — when someone asks you to do one more thing, or when you catch yourself volunteering out of guilt. Boundaries set from clarity, not chaos, are what protect your peace and your health. The Listener Takeaway: Why This Episode Matters The holidays don't have to leave you frazzled, burned out, and starting over in January. When you create boundaries and honor your limits, you're not taking away from anyone else's experience — you're adding to your own. You show up more present, less reactive, and more connected. The invisible load doesn't disappear overnight, but this episode will help you see that you have a choice. And every time you choose calm over chaos, rest over perfection, and presence over performance, you're creating a future where you wake up on January 2nd feeling proud — not like you need a do-over.

Feeling like the holidays undo every bit of progress you've made with your health? You're not alone. Between sugar-filled gatherings, endless to-do lists, and the pressure to "make it magical," midlife women often end up exhausted, bloated, and quietly promising themselves they'll start over in January. In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, Elizabeth Sherman breaks down what's really happening beneath the overeating, overdrinking, and overcommitting that show up every December. Spoiler: it's not about willpower. It's about stress, hormones, and the invisible load that midlife women carry when everyone expects them to hold it all together. Elizabeth shares her own holiday wake-up call—standing in her closet before a party, frustrated that nothing fit—and the simple mindset shift that changed everything. You'll learn how to approach the holidays without restriction, guilt, or perfectionism, and how small, intentional choices can help you feel grounded and proud when January 2nd arrives. This episode is part one of the Holiday Health Series, designed to help you feel vibrant, peaceful, and fully present throughout the season.     The Biggest Problem Midlife Women Face Regarding Holiday Eating & Body Triggers For women in midlife, the holidays amplify every underlying health challenge—hormonal fluctuations, stress sensitivity, disrupted sleep, and emotional eating. As estrogen and progesterone levels shift, the body becomes more reactive to sugar, refined flour, alcohol, and late nights. What used to be "no big deal" now leads to bloating, brain fog, irritability, and restless sleep. At the same time, midlife women often step into the role of family matriarch. They're the ones planning menus, hosting gatherings, and keeping traditions alive. This invisible workload leaves little energy for self-care. When exhaustion meets social pressure ("Have another drink!" "You have to try this pie!"), it's easy to abandon healthy habits in the name of celebration. The result? Guilt, frustration, and the familiar I'll start over in January cycle that keeps women stuck year after year.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why midlife metabolism and hormones make holiday eating feel harder—and what's really behind your cravings The hidden emotional and social pressures that drive overeating and overdrinking during festive events How to use one simple question—"How do I want to feel on January 2nd?"—to stay grounded and in control     What You Can Do Right Now Start by letting go of the all-or-nothing mindset. You don't need a perfect plan; you just need to care for yourself in small, consistent ways. Ask yourself what choices today will make tomorrow easier: one cookie instead of three, a glass of water before the next drink, or turning in thirty minutes earlier. Reframe self-care as energy management, not restriction. Every small act—choosing a balanced meal, taking a short walk, saying "no" to one more obligation—protects your mood, digestion, and sleep. The goal isn't to deny yourself joy; it's to create the space to actually enjoy it.     The Listener Takeaway: Why This Episode Matters You don't need to white-knuckle your way through the holidays or start over every January. When you understand what's happening in your body and why the season feels so hard, you can make aligned choices without guilt. This episode gives you hope, possibility, and curiosity—the sense that you can enjoy the holidays, feel good in your body, and wake up on January 2nd proud of how you treated yourself.

Summary This holiday season, your feed will be flooded with "must-have" wellness products — detox kits, powders, trackers, supplements, and miracle solutions promising to fix your stress, your hormones, and your sleep. But do we really need all of this stuff? In this episode, I'm breaking down how wellness has drifted away from its roots and turned into another form of consumerism — selling us insecurity in the name of self-care. I'll share how to spot wellness grifters, what real well-being actually looks like, and the few time-tested practices that still matter: acupuncture, baths, walks, nourishing meals, sleep, friends, hobbies, and joy. If your wellness routine involves 17 products, 5 subscriptions, 2 wearable tech devices, and credit card debt… it's not wellness — it's capitalism. Let's get back to what actually heals. Takeaways We live in a different society than thousands of years ago. The basics of well-being still apply today. Being outside in nature is crucial for health. Community and belonging are essential for well-being. Nourishing meals contribute significantly to health. Restful sleep is a fundamental aspect of well-being. Time spent with friends enhances quality of life. Engaging in hobbies brings joy and fulfillment. Strength training and movement are vital for physical health. Breath work is an important practice for overall wellness.

Crunchy moms who have spent years telling their child's pediatrician they want to limit the vaccines their child receives may soon have an advocate in Washington, D.C.    Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to head the Department of Health and Human Services, is spending the week before Christmas meeting with Senators on Capitol Hill ahead of his expected confirmation hearing early next year.    Kennedy has branded himself as the leader of the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, or MAHA, raising concerns over the obesity in this country, the processed food in American grocery stores, and the vaccines given to children.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that in 2000, one in every 150 children had been identified with autism spectrum disorder. By 2020, this number had risen to one in every 36 children. Kennedy has voiced support for studies to examine if the rise in autism is linked to the increasing number of vaccines given to babies and children.    “I'm not anti-vaccine, I just want good science,” Kennedy said in April during an appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” adding, “I am against vaccine mandates.”    Trump says he expects Kennedy to present him with reports on vaccines, but has assured the American people that they will still have access to vaccines.    “You're not going to lose the polio vaccine,” Trump told reporters during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.  Kennedy's “MAHA” movement comes at a time when many Americans are embracing health trends. The U.S. wellness economy is valued at $1.8 trillion, according to Global Wellness Institute. From ditching seed oils to taking a cold plunge, many Americans increasingly appear interested in living healthier lives.    On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the popular health trends of 2024, how Kennedy could change the nation's approach to health and wellness, and ways to avoid some of those Christmas goodies.    Plus, God's Goop founder Justyn McAndrews joins the show to discuss the surprising health benefits of beef tallow - the perfect gift for your crunchy friend or family member this Christmas.

Haven't we all been there? Trapped in the holiday chaos, stretching ourselves too thin to cater to everyone else's needs, but ours?  This episode peels back the layers on a game-changing strategy for the holidays - the idea of bare minimums. These are small, easy changes that can keep us sane and healthy amidst the festive frenzy.  I debunk the myth that the holiday season is just another time of the year and expose the invisible workload that often accompanies this special period. I aim to ensure you don't vanish into the to-do list.  I then dig deeper into the bare minimum concept during the holiday season. These are non-negotiable habits that serve as your health safety net while keeping you grounded amid the holiday whirlwind. I lay out practical tips to establish and maintain these personal habits, no matter how wild things get.  I wrap up the episode and shed light on the importance of integrating these bare minimums into your holiday routine. I share insights on how to ensure these habits stick and how to leverage personal motivations to stay on track. I also serve up tips on how to make the holidays slightly easier and get the most out of your downtime.  Trust me, prioritizing your health and well-being during the festive season is crucial, and finding the right balance amidst the holiday bustle is possible.

As we move into the holiday season, and the end of our 3rd year of My Wife the Dietitian, we thought we'd celebrate by revisiting some past episodes. We've chosen some that suit the holiday season, as well as some of your favourites. We want to thank you all for listening to our weekly banter, and we look forward to sharing more with you in the coming year. Wishing you all the best in health and happiness over the holidays. Enjoy this episode from Dec 2022. The holidays and Christmas time can be a wonderful time with holiday cheer and taking stock of your blessings. For many though, it can be the most stressful time of the year. Research shows that cardiac death rates are highest around Christmas and New Year's - the two weeks throughout the holidays (between Christmas and New Year's Eve) more people die of natural causes than what is normal for winter months. (Naveed Saleh, MD). It's an easy time to overindulge, but you don't have to steer your diet and health habits off course. It IS possible to survive the holiday season without expanding your waist line, getting that holiday bulge or dealing with overwhelm and stress. Lifestyle Strategies for self care: 1) Sleep - listen to episode 16 for more information 2) Work Duties/projects - lighten your load. Decrease screentime (checking emails, social media, etc - only one specific time period in a day). Listen to fun podcasts instead ;-) Try alternative activities - singing (good for breathing), laughing (watch comedies, see friends/family for fun), kissing under the mistletoe etc 3) Exercise - take regular breaks for walking, skating/skiing, or perhaps luging 4) Meditation - time out/mindful practices/breathe deeply/visualize 5) Diet - be mindful of pitfalls with overindulging. - think of office culture - lots of sweets, baked goods, donuts etc around for snacking on throughout the day; plan ahead and make wise choices Restaurant meals: - don't skip meals that day to 'save up' for buffet or restaurant meal - eat a regular breakfast and have something with protein for lunch to help keep blood sugars stable throughout day, even though you are eating out. Keep your rhythm with regular meals, so, you are less likely to overdo it and overeat and feel awful. Strategies while ordering: - order grill vs fried/breaded/deep fried - sides - salad/vegetables vs fries/potato - tomato-based pasta vs cream-based pasta sauces - broth or tomato-base soups vs cream based soups and chowders - baked potato - order salsa instead of butter or sour cream or cheese/bacon Traveling by vehicle: Pack a cooler - fruit/vegetables/trail mix/wraps, yogurt drinks, etc. Balancing work and family with selfcare and personal wellbeing will help with rest and recuperation.

Better understand depression with insights from Dr. Sibcy, a licensed clinical psychologist from Centra Piedmont Psychiatric Center. Discover how depression's isolating nature can trap individuals in a cycle of avoidance, and learn strategies to break free from this loop. We delve into the therapeutic approaches that have proven effective, such as cognitive and cognitive behavioral therapy, and discuss the role of medication in treating moderate to severe depression. With the holiday season's emotional demands, we explore the importance of setting boundaries and finding balanced ways to interact with family and social settings without compromising mental well-being.The episode takes a serious turn as we address the potential emergence of suicidal thoughts linked with depression, especially when compounded by isolation or substance use. Dr. Sibcy emphasizes the importance of supporting loved ones while avoiding the pitfall of becoming overbearing. If you're in crisis, call, or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 for help.For more content from Centra Health check us out on the following channels.YouTubeFacebookInstagramTwitter
