Episode snapshotDebbie Lamond (near London, UK) is a yoga teacher and yoga therapist specializing in support for people living with lymphoedema. After decades of personal practice and training with the British Wheel of Yoga, she blends breathwork, Yoga Nidra, gentle movement, self-care for the lymphatic system, and realistic habit tracking. This conversation feels like tea with a wise friend—practical, hopeful, and grounded in ahiṃsā, svādhyāya, and the steady courage of śraddhā.What we coverDebbie's path: yoga since 1994, why it offered something team sports and fitness didn't—time, calm, and coming home to self.Lymphoedema support, plain language: why movement, hydration, skin care, and compression are foundations—and how yoga fits in.Breath changes the body: how diaphragmatic breathing helps down-shift sympathetic overdrive and, anecdotally, can ease night-time swelling enough to return to sleep.Yoga tools that help: slow rhythmic movement, Yoga Nidra for nervous-system recovery, present-moment awareness to interrupt “what-if” spirals.Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD): “open the drains,” then move—pair with water intake and gentle activity.Ayurvedic lifestyle touches: cooling choices when heat aggravates symptoms, morning light, toxin reduction, and a simple habit tracker.Agency and dignity: building a daily routine you'll actually keep—this isn't a quick-fix pill.Practical takeaways (save/print)Three-minute reset: recline, elevate legs, one hand on belly; inhale gently through the nose, exhale a little longer; ~15–20 breaths. Notice if sensation and anxiety both dial down.Daily rhythm idea:Brief self-MLD (as taught by a qualified therapist).10–20 minutes of gentle yoga or a short walk.Hydrate and quick skin-check.Yoga Nidra or guided rest later in the day if swelling or fatigue rises.Get support: work with a qualified lymphoedema therapist for compression, self-care education, and monitoring.How yoga philosophy frames this workAhiṃsā (non-harm): move/rest in ways that protect tissue and reduce irritation.Svādhyāya (self-study): track patterns—sleep, flares, foods, stressors—without judgment.Īśvara-praṇidhāna (surrender): accept today's reality while practicing skillful effort. Together, these form a sustainable sādhana for long-term conditions.Resources mentionedBritish Wheel of Yoga (for teacher standards and CPD)Lymphoedema Support Network (UK)Manual Lymph Drainage (find a qualified therapist)Yoga Nidra recordings for regulation and restWho this episode is forPeople living with primary or secondary lymphoedema; those post-treatment or post-surgery; clinicians curious about integrating breath and gentle movement; yoga therapists seeking condition-specific insights.About our guestDebbie Lamond is a UK-based yoga teacher and yoga therapist focusing on lymphoedema support.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Heather R. Younger. CEO, workplace culture expert, author, and founder of a major employee engagement consultancy—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss leadership, employee empowerment, navigating fear, and self‑leadership in modern workplaces. She shares her personal experiences with layoffs, career uncertainty, anxiety, and leadership failures—and how these experiences shaped her mission to be “the voice for the voiceless” in organizational culture. They explore the emotional realities of layoffs vs. terminations, how employees can take control of their professional well‑being, and Heather’s framework for identifying and overcoming fear. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To introduce Heather’s work and mission She champions active listening, employee empowerment, and self‑leadership after personally reading 30,000+ employee surveys and leading 100+ focus groups. 2. To teach listeners how to navigate workplace uncertainty She provides strategies for dealing with anxiety, job insecurity, change, and inconsistent leadership climates. 3. To share an empowering message about self‑leadership Central idea: No one is coming to save you. You must lead yourself first. 4. To explore how fear holds people back professionally She outlines how fear affects decision‑making, action-taking, and confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Why She Does This Work She witnessed firsthand how mergers, layoffs, and poor communication harm employees. After being laid off with 200+ others, she realized she needed to become the “voice of reason” who turns employee concerns into actionable insights for leaders. 2. Layoff vs. Termination — Emotional Differences Layoffs: painful but less shame; not personal fault. Termination: usually involves personal accountability, and often carries more shame. Both create a feeling of powerlessness, but each requires emotional processing and reframing. 3. No One Is Coming To Save You Employees must take responsibility for: Their growth Their mental health Their career progression Their emotional well‑being HR cannot save you, Heather says—they play a dual role and cannot be personal rescuers. 4. Managing Workplace Anxiety Key strategies include: Nightly reflection → Write down what went well and what you controlled. Reframing → Turning irrational fears into rational thoughts. Breathing, sunlight, walking, self‑care → Especially for anxiety. Intentional mindset‑switching → Choosing thoughts that serve you. 5. The Five Ways Fear Holds You Back Professionally Heather identifies several fear patterns: 1. Fear of Feedback Avoiding action because you’re afraid of what others may say. 2. Fear of Retribution / Getting in Trouble Hesitating to take risks or initiative. 3. Fear of Speaking Up Not challenging authority or expressing dissenting opinions due to lack of psychological safety. 4. Fear Rooted in Family / Cultural Conditioning Inherited fear patterns from parents, grandparents, or trauma. 5. Fear of Regret / Non‑Action She teaches a powerful question: “What will I regret the longest—doing the thing or not doing the thing?” This question accelerates decision‑making and breaks the paralysis of fear. 6. Take Ownership of Your Life — Self‑Leadership Become the Chief Iterator of Your Life → Continue refining yourself like a living prototype. Accept mistakes as part of growth. Avoid perfectionism; aim for continuous improvement. 7. Practical Daily Habits Prepare mentally each night. Hydrate, sleep well, move your body. Train yourself to take small positive actions daily. NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Self‑Leadership “Ain’t nobody coming to save me. And in the workplace, no one’s coming to save you.” On Fear “Feedback is a gift—even if it hurts.” “We sit around waiting for green lights, access, invitations… It’s not coming. We need to seize it.” “What is the thing you will regret the longest—doing it or not doing it?” On Navigating Change “You get to fight tooth and nail for your own mental space.” On Personal Growth “See yourself as a work in progress—a constant iteration.” On Workplace Emotions “With layoffs, you didn’t have a hand in it. With termination, there’s more shame.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Travel is often seen as relaxing and rejuvenating, but for the body — especially the bones — it can be surprisingly stressful. In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Monisha Bhanote, a quintuple board-certified physician who integrates cellular science with Ayurvedic medicine, to explore how travel affects bone health at a deeper level.From prolonged sitting and dehydration to disrupted digestion, sleep, and stress hormones, this conversation sheds light on the hidden ways travel can quietly interfere with bone remodeling. Rather than creating fear, this episode offers awareness and simple, practical strategies to help women support their bones wherever they go.If you travel frequently — or plan to — and want to protect your bone health along the way, this episode is a must-listen.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy prolonged sitting reduces bone-building signalsHow dehydration impacts mineral balance and circulationThe effect of travel-related stress and cortisol on bone lossWhy digestion and gut health are essential for bone strengthHow disrupted routines weaken nutrient absorptionThe connection between cellular resilience and bone healthSimple, realistic ways to support your bones while travelingAction Steps You Can Take TodayMove frequently when traveling — stand, walk, stretch, and pump your calves.Hydrate intentionally, especially on flights; limit caffeine and alcohol.Support digestion with simple, whole foods and mindful eating.Regulate stress using breathwork, rest, and gentle movement.Prioritize sleep and recovery when crossing time zones.Think whole-body — bones respond to everything happening in your system.Resources & LinksHealthy Gut, Healthy Bones Program: https://debirobinsonwellness.thrivecart.com/hghb-self-paced-group-program-pp/Stronger Bones Lifestyle Community https://debirobinson.com/the-stronger-bones-lifestyle-community/Dr. Monisha Bhanotehttps://www.drbhanote.com/Debi's TakeawayYour bones don't stop responding just because you're traveling. They respond to movement, hydration, digestion, stress, and rest — no matter where you are.When you support your body at the cellular level, your bones travel with you — strong, resilient, and capable.

Most people wake up already stressed—and don't even realize it. What if just 5 minutes every morning could completely change how your body and mind feel all day? Life responsibilities have placed most of us in a constant rush and stress, without a moment to breathe. Such a lifestyle significantly affects our chiropractic principles and the foundation of our practice. However, what if I told you, you can change this in 2026 with just 5 minutes of a mindful morning routine, completely transform your day, and enjoy the best version of you in the new year? Mornings set the tone for the rest of the day. If you form a habit of starting your day with calmness, intention, and clarity, you will realize that you stay more focused, handle challenges better, and feel emotionally stronger. And the good news is that you only need 5 minutes every morning to make a difference. Here is the 5-minute morning formula to help you start your day like the 2026 version of you: 1.      Move Before Your Phone Did you know that just 60-90 seconds of mobility or stretching can completely boost your energy? Movement in the morning helps increase blood flow and naturally energizes your body. As soon as you wake up, don't rush to reach for your phone. Instead, gently stretch your body. You can do this by reaching up towards the ceiling, twisting your torso side to side, and touching your toes. That stretch wakes up your muscles and sends signals to your brain that it's time to activate. You can also adopt 20 squats or 10 push-ups, depending on your workout objective. 2.      Hydrate on Purpose We've all probably heard experts emphasize the importance of proper hydration in the morning. Ever wondered why it's important to hydrate in the morning? Well, when sleeping, we tend to lose a lot of fluids through sweating, breathing, and minor movements. This can lead to dehydration upon waking, which can impair cognitive function, affect our moods, and slow the body's metabolism. Therefore, drinking water first thing in the morning before caffeine helps fire up your metabolism for the day, clears out morning brain fog, and sets a positive tone for the day. Morning hydration helps guide and regulate your body and mind, lowering the chances of mid-morning brain fog or irritability. Consider taking 10–12 oz of water before caffeine to start the day well hydrated. 3.      One Good Thought This could be a gratitude, intention, or "identity statement". Take a minute in the morning to write down a list of everything that you are grateful for at that moment. Starting your day with a gratitude list helps you see all the good things you are grateful for. A gratitude list works like a self-reflection that triggers positive feelings for the day ahead and greatly reduces feelings of stress and anxiety, and helps train your brain to become more optimistic. Another morning formula you should consider adopting to set your energy level high in 2026 is to set an intention for the day ahead. You can achieve this by thinking about the day's objective that you need the most to focus on. The intention can range from a simple mantra, such as "Today is a great day," to a quote or an excerpt from a book you're currently reading or a podcast you are listening to. It should be something that inspires and speaks to you. Once you have your intention for the day, repeat it to yourself a few times.  You can also consider adopting an "identity statement" that focuses on who you are becoming through your actions, defining yourself by your consistent behaviors. An example of an identity statement is "I am a resilient individual who perseveres through challenges and builds strength with each effort." Adopting one good thought helps rewire your brain to focus on the positive rather than jumping straight into negativity and anxiety. 4.      One Small Action Toward a Goal Decide on the goal for the day and go for it. Ensure that it is something achievable yet meaningful. For instance, if you intend to send an important email and exercise, proceed to schedule and block your calendar for the day's activities. This should take approximately 3 minutes. Setting clear, actionable goals with scheduled implementation time helps your mind to stay focused instead of getting lost in endless to-do lists. 5.      Open Your Day, Don't React to It Once you've established your morning routine, stick to it. Jumping straight into reading emails and texts may trigger anxiety and stress, which may negatively affect the day's energy. When you wake up, focus on your 5-minute morning formula to help set the right energy for the day, then work on the emails and texts at the scheduled time. Try this 5-minute morning formula for 7 days and notice how your body, energy, and mindset shift.

President's Day Weekend 2025 started like any other legendary Colorado ski day: fresh “pow,” bluebird vibes, and me—Skier Sof—feeling like the queen of Tucker Mountain. Copper locals know Tucker used to be snowcat- and hike-only, which gave it this mysterious backcountry allure. Now it's still expert terrain, but with lift access…and on Presidents Day, that means crowded.But hey, what's a little crowd when you're vibing on run #5, skiing powder next to Valentine's and Boulderado with a good friend, and life feels like a Patagonia commercial?Spoiler: It all goes downhill. Literally. And painfully.  The Scene: Fresh Powder, Bad Visibility, and One Very Unpredictable Skier (and no, the unpredictable skier was not me)My friend Ryan and I were shredding through some fantastic powder. We reached the bottom of Boulderado, where you have to cut hard left through a tree trail to avoid looping all the way back to the chair.Only two sketchy paths go through these trees. You need to keep up the speed, loosen your legs, and blast through bouncing along till you get to the chair. One dude was sitting in the absolute worst possible spot. Not moving. Not looking around. Not reading the room!I told Ryan, “Follow me, I'm going now!”And that's when the guy—out of nowhere—decides to stand up and slowly drift right into my line without looking uphill.PSA: ALWAYS look uphill before you move. Don't be a “Jerry.” Yield to the above skiers. These things matter.I tried to change my line to the lower track, but visibility was trash: I had my sun lenses on when I should have swapped to snow lenses (don't get lazy, ladies and gents!). I caught the top of a massive mogul, went flying, landed, but my feet were suddenly two feet apart—never a good sign when skiing trees.Then came mogul #2.The left leg slid down it.The right leg stayed at the top.My legs did a pretty epic split that nobody asked for.Cue: the pop of my ACL Fired off like a gunshot (I have the video to prove it). A full tear. I also partially tore my right MCL and my meniscus (just for funsies).  The Fall, the Flailing, and the Insta360 That Captured It AllI twisted, flew over the “do not cross” rope (10/10 do not recommend), and slammed into soft powder at the base of a tree. My left ski did NOT release—because my bindings weren't adjusted after losing weight—and my leg twisted way farther than human legs should.I screamed like an angry man who just lost a Mill in the stock market. It was not cute.Ryan came over the hill, saw me lying up with my heat against a tree, panicked, thinking I broke my neck or something like that, whipped off his snowboard, climbed down into the powder, and dug my buried leg out like a heroic golden retriever. “My Hero.” No, seriously, this guy is a great friend, especially since I just ruined his epic ski day. As I writhed in pain, I told him, “Find the camera,” because naturally that matters more… He found the Insta360.Another skier—who had literally followed my line earlier went to call ski patrol.Ski irony is alive and well.  Ski Patrol to the Rescue (Eventually)There's a patrol hut at the top of Tucker, but storms were rolling in, and it took about 45 minutes before they reached me. By then, I'd somehow crawled out of the trees (pain makes you feral) and tried to stand on that leg—nope.Once the full patrol team arrived, they loaded me into the rescue sled for the hour-long journey to Copper Mountain's Center Village. There were blizzard-like snow conditions that covered my face in about 5 minutes. It was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. A full team of 5 was needed to get me out of the trees. They snowmobiled me up Copper Bowl and skied me down the front face of the mountain. At least I finally got to go snowmobiling!Crowds gasped like I was being transported post-avalanche. I could see nothing, and hear a whole lot, so I was desperately hoping no one T-boned the sled while the patrol kept yelling, “MOVE! LOOK UP! ON YOUR LEFT! YIELD!”It was like being royalty—if royalty were frozen, freaking out, and strapped to a tiny snow coffin. At least the ski patrol guy even kept checking on me to make sure I was still alive.  Diagnosis: Basically… Everything ToreUrgent Care X-rays said: “Good news, no broken bones!”MRI later said: “Bad news…everything else is broken.”Final injury roster:Full ACL tearPartial right MCL tearTorn meniscusMassive bone bruise on the left side of my kneeA whole lot of regret I stayed in Colorado for a month doing PT and trying to maintain dignity and not slip on the ice with crutches. Eventually, I flew home, got an MRI, and scheduled surgery for April 24.  ACL Surgery & the Recovery GrindSurgery went great, but recovery? OOF.Two weeks of sleeping in the braceCrutches for two monthsPT bending (which basically felt like they were breaking), my knee twice a weekPain meds (which my body hated), but I so needed because the pain was astronomicalAlmost fainted in PT twice because of the drugs and physical exhaustionI learned Advil was my friend after the first few weeks and ditched the nasty hydrocodoneLots of tears, lots of naps, lots of gratitude when I could A) not be in so much pain, B) get off the meds, C) walk again without crutches! By week six, pain finally chilled out, and the muscle-rebuilding process started. Every tiny improvement felt like winning Olympic gold. Its the little things in life.  What This Injury Taught Me (AKA: The Travel Brats Safety Sermon)1. People on the mountain are unpredictable.Even on expert runs, don't assume anyone knows what they're doing, or where they are going. And most likely they do not care about YIELDING!2. Altitude is no joke.Hydrate, acclimate, and don't push your body if you've been traveling or skiing hard and are feeling the fatigue from it.3. Train before ski trips.Strong quads save knees. Don't skip leg day. I repeat: don't skip leg day.4. Pace yourself.Take breaks. Take a day off on long trips. Ski easier runs when fatigue kicks in.5.

Are you ready to stop whining and start winning?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we're diving deep into why whining is holding you back, and how optimism is the key to creating your dream reality. If you want to learn how to reframe your mindset, boost your chances of success, and hear my personal mantra for overcoming adversity, this episode is for you!As an entrepreneur, you know the odds are stacked against you. So how do you keep pushing forward when it feels like the deck is always against you?It starts with a mindset. Winners don't dwell on problems—they focus on solutions. When you focus on problems, you manifest more of them. But when you focus on solutions, you open the door to possibilities. Instead of whining about what went wrong, winners ask, “What's next?” Learn from the experience, sure, but move forward with optimism.Focus on the solution, not the problem. Whether in business, relationships, or personal growth, focusing on how you can improve creates more opportunities for success.Let's be real: whining is just another form of excuse-making. “It's too hard,” “I don't have time,” “The market's not right”—sound familiar? Winners know these are just fear-based thoughts holding you back. Instead of whining, winners take ownership and responsibility, like Jocko Willink's philosophy of extreme ownership.If you want to win, stop giving in to excuses and start owning your results. Winners don't let anything stand in their way—least of all themselves.So, how do you shift from a whiner to a winner? It's all about daily habits. Here are three practical tips to get started:Start your day with gratitude: Each morning, write down 5–10 things you're grateful for. This simple practice sets the tone for optimism.Hydrate and energize: Get your body moving with something that gets your blood flowing, like a quick rebounder workout, and rehydrate with green juice or mineral water.Reframe challenges into opportunities: When a problem arises, ask yourself, “How can I turn this into a positive?” instead of focusing on what went wrong.By adopting these habits, you'll naturally start to see challenges as opportunities for growth. And remember, winners visualize their success before it happens.Remember, optimism is a tool for resilience and long-term success. With the right mindset, you'll not only bounce back from adversity faster, but you'll stay in the game longer—and ultimately, you'll win.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-11-2025: Dr. Dawn presents colleague Dr. Paul Godin's essay on why US healthcare fails as a market system . She explains that healthcare violates every assumption of functional markets: patients can't compare options during emergencies, information asymmetry prevents informed decisions, demand is inelastic when one has an urgent medical issue, and trust is essential to medicine and in direct conflict with profit incentives. Since 1988's Knox-Keen Act allowed for-profit healthcare, private equity has acquired and stripped hospitals, while administrative costs consume enormous resources fighting over payments rather than providing care. She contrasts this with European models like Switzerland and Germany where everyone must participate, insurers must accept all patients, and profit on basic coverage is limited. She celebrates a vaccination success story: HPV vaccines have reduced cervical cancer by 50% over 30 years. The American Cancer Society now endorses self-collected vaginal samples for HPV screening, with an FDA-approved at-home kit from Teal Health allowing women to skip speculums and traditional Pap smears. Current guidelines recommend screening starting at age 25, with testing every five years after a negative result. Dr. Dawn issues a health alert about multiple hospitalizations in Santa Cruz County from foraged wild mushrooms identified incorrectly by phone apps. She describes cholinergic toxicity symptoms: sweating, excessive salivation, pinpoint pupils, and abdominal cramping—signs requiring immediate emergency care rather than waiting it out. She offers follow-up vaccine advice: "go in wet, then sweat." Hydrate before vaccination, then take a hot Epsom salt bath until sweat runs off your face. This helps eliminate adjuvants that cause post-vaccine fatigue and aches, which are often misinterpreted as catching illness from the vaccine itself. Dr. Dawn expresses alarm that Kennedy's reconstituted ACIP nearly voted to eliminate hepatitis B vaccination at birth. She notes infants exposed to infected mothers have 99% infection rates, with half becoming chronically infected and half of those developing terminal cirrhosis or cancer. Testing pregnant women misses infections acquired during pregnancy, and 12-16% of delivering women have no test records. Major insurers have committed to covering birth vaccination through 2026 despite the panel's actions. She offers holiday microbiome advice from researcher Karen Corbin: increase fiber intake through steel-cut oats, whole grain breads like Dave's Killer Bread, beans, apples, and alternative pastas made from lentils or garbanzo beans. Cooking potatoes ahead and reheating creates resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces inflammation, and even stimulates natural GLP-1 production. Dr. Dawn reviews research proving health insurance saves lives. When the ACA's Medicaid expansion became optional by state, researchers could compare outcomes, finding 8% lower mortality and 19,000 fewer deaths in expansion states over four years. An accidental IRS experiment—sending insurance enrollment letters to only 85% of penalty payers—showed significantly lower mortality among those who subsequently got insured. Studies of gunshot and auto accident victims found uninsured patients died more often despite receiving identical emergency treatment. She concludes with surprising cancer symptoms: chest pain specifically triggered by alcohol consumption may indicate Hodgkin's lymphoma, as vasodilation activates inflammatory chemicals in affected lymph nodes. Fractures from minimal trauma in people without osteoporosis warrant investigation, as 5% of cancers involve bone. Elevated calcium levels double cancer diagnosis risk in the following year and should prompt follow-up testing.

This week on The Nutrition Couch, Leanne and Susie unpack three huge topics women are constantly asking about: fasting, constipation, and whether “natural Ozempic” supplements like berberine are worth the hype. First up, they dive into intermittent fasting and why it often backfires for women, especially if you’re training hard, in your perimenopausal years, or constantly battling cravings and afternoon blow-outs. They talk through what the research actually says, how female hormones and muscle mass change the picture, and why a simple 12-hour overnight break from food may be the sweet spot for most women rather than extreme fasting windows. Next, they break down the brand-new constipation guidelines from the British Dietetic Association, including the now-famous kiwi fruit recommendation, mineral-rich water, magnesium and that slightly outrageous “six to eight slices of rye bread a day” advice. You’ll hear what’s genuinely useful, what’s unrealistic in real life, and how to build a gut-friendly routine that goes beyond just “eat more fibre”. In product spotlight, the ladies share their new favourite dip for summer entertaining, Yumi’s Capsicum & Roasted Cashew, and explain why it beats many cream-cheese-based dips nutritionally. They also give practical platter strategies to keep portions, costs and calories in check without feeling like you’re on a diet at the party. Finally, they tackle a listener question about berberine, the supplement being pushed online as “nature’s Ozempic”. Leanne and Susie explain what the science really shows for blood sugar and weight, the doses used in research, why side effects are more common at effective doses, and why it is absolutely not equivalent to GLP-1 medications. They share the simple, proven strategies that do more for metabolic health than chasing a miracle capsule. In this episode: Fasting and female physiology: why skipping breakfast can tank performance, worsen cravings and backfire for many active women, and when a gentle overnight fast may still have benefits. New constipation guidelines: the role of kiwi fruit, mineral-rich water and magnesium, why “more and more fibre” isn’t always the answer, and realistic ways to get things moving again. Summer platter upgrade: a healthier capsicum and cashew dip, smart portion tricks, and how to build a party platter that tastes amazing without blowing your goals or your budget. Berberine under the microscope: why calling it “natural Ozempic” is misleading, what it can and can’t do for blood glucose, and when you’re better off with lifestyle changes or prescribed medication. If this episode helps you rethink fasting or finally sort your gut and “magic pill” confusion, please follow the show, tap 5⭐, and share it with a friend who’s always starting a new diet on Monday.

What if chronic inflammation, mold exposure, or unresolved emotional stress were silently accelerating osteoporosis or osteopenia?In this eye-opening episode, functional bone health expert Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Kelly McCann, a leading functional MD and environmental medicine specialist, to uncover the hidden triggers behind bone loss that most women never hear about.Dr. McCann explains how mast cell activation (MCAS), mold toxicity, and environmental chemicals can weaken bones, disrupt hormones, and fuel chronic inflammation. Together, she and Debi explore the deeper terrain of bone health—how your immune system, nervous system, and even emotional experiences shape your risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia.This episode goes far beyond calcium and vitamin D. It's about understanding the environmental, biochemical, and emotional roots of bone loss so you can build strong, resilient bones for life.What You'll LearnHow mast cell activation (MCAS) contributes to inflammation that accelerates bone lossThe link between mold exposure, toxins, and the development of osteoporosis or osteopeniaWhy your symptoms may be communication, not malfunction, especially when it comes to bone healthHow emotional stress, trauma, and dysregulation of the nervous system can weaken bonesPractical, actionable ways to reduce toxic load and support bone densityHow to create balance physically, emotionally, and energetically to strengthen your bones from the inside outAction Steps Audit your environment: Look for hidden mold, water damage, or chemical exposures that may be fueling inflammation and bone loss.Clean up your kitchen: Swap non-stick pans for stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic to reduce toxin exposure that affects bone health.Hydrate and nourish: Drink filtered water and build meals around whole, anti-inflammatory foods to support osteoporosis and osteopenia.Reduce daily toxic load: Avoid synthetic fragrances, plastic bottles, and harsh cleaners that may disrupt hormones and bone density.Calm your stress response: Use breathwork, meditation, or gentle yoga to regulate your nervous system and protect your bones.Seek functional support: Work with a practitioner if you suspect mold toxicity, MCAS, or chronic inflammation impacting your bones.Resources & LinksLearn more about Dr. Kelly McCann: The Spring CenterListen to more episodes of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle PodcastStrengthen from the inside out: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramVisit debirobinson.com for resources and upcoming eventsDebi's TakeawayBone health is about much more than nutrients—it's about your environment, your stress levels, and how your body communicates with you.As Dr. McCann reminds us, inflammation, toxins, and emotional stress can erode bone strength just as powerfully as nutritional deficiencies. When you listen to your body, address hidden triggers, and create safety in your inner world, your bones can finally begin to rebuild.Your body isn't failing—it's speaking. The more you listen, the stronger your bones can become.

My goal in this podcast episode is to give you LOTS of ideas of things you can do, that each only take 10 minutes, that will level up your life in some way.  I think most of us feel like we want less time on our phones and more time doing things that make us feel fulfilled or have more energy or stronger relationships or make more money or whatever it is.  But, it's just so much easier to default to scrolling rather than adding in a consistent 10 minute habit that really stacks up over time.  Well, that's no longer because I've compiled a massive list of 10 minute habit ideas for you that you can pick from based on your priorities right now.  Let's break it down in the different buckets of life!  For Energy, Focus, and Longevity Take electrolytes first thing in the morning... replenish hydration and minerals for brain clarity and steady energy. Ten minutes of sunlight exposure... triggers cortisol awakening response, regulates circadian rhythm, boosts mood. Red light therapy... 10 minutes in front of a red-light panel to improve mitochondrial function and recovery. Cold plunge or cold shower for 3–10 minutes... boosts dopamine and metabolism for hours afterward. Ten minutes of stretching or mobility work... especially in the morning; wakes up the body and reduces stiffness. Barefoot grounding outside... 10 minutes on grass or sand to lower inflammation and stress hormones. Ten minutes of sprint intervals... short bursts that train mitochondria and improve cardiovascular health dramatically. Get your blood work done and take the right supplements... know your numbers and personalize your protocol. Prep protein... cook or portion protein for the day so you easily hit 30–50g per meal. Eat a high-protein breakfast... reduces hunger and improves focus all day. For Finances and Growth Ten minutes of money tracking... check spending, update budget, or review one financial goal daily. Ten minutes of reading or audiobook learning... one chapter a day equals 20 or more books a year. Ten minutes of skill building... learn guitar, code, Spanish, or design... whatever moves you forward. Ten minutes of reflection... write down what worked and what didn't today. That's how you make micro-improvements. Ten minutes of planning tomorrow... align your calendar with your goals before bed. For Relationships and Connection Ten-minute phone call or voice note to someone you love... strengthens bonds and releases oxytocin. Ten minutes of undistracted connection... put down the phone, hug your kids or partner, be fully present. Ten minutes of gratitude journaling focused on people... write down what you appreciate about those in your life. Ten-minute micro-dates... sit with your partner on the porch, go for a quick walk, or share coffee in the morning. Send one encouraging message... to a friend, coworker, or family member... spreads positivity fast. For Joy, Peace, and Fulfillment Ten minutes of meditation or deep breathing... lowers cortisol and improves emotional regulation. Ten minutes of prayer or quiet reflection... anchors you before the noise of the day. Ten minutes decluttering one drawer or space... creates visible progress and mental clarity. Ten minutes outside... barefoot, walking, or just sitting; sunlight and nature instantly boost your mood. Ten minutes of dancing, movement, or play... raise your state and reset your nervous system. Ten minutes of creative flow... doodle, write, design... get into that zone where time disappears. Ten minutes of laughter or comedy... laughter reduces stress hormones and boosts immunity. How to Make It Stick Pick 3 to 5 habits that fit your goals and rotate them daily. Stack new habits onto existing routines. Track it visually... checkmarks trigger motivation. Focus on consistency over intensity... ten minutes daily beats one hour once a week.   So that's the magic of ten minutes. You don't need a total life overhaul... you just need a few small, intentional blocks of time that you protect every day. Consistency compounds. Hydrate your body, feed your mind, move your muscles, connect with your people, and give yourself those tiny daily deposits that build a truly awesome life.   Link to my 2.0 System that I use to do all of this on the daily!  https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem   Thank you for listening!!

The Mysterious Oregon Coast adventure is in the rearview mirror, but we always like to peek back before moving on. On this edition we marvel at the fun we had on a fairly cursed tour of some of our favorite parts of the Pacific coast!   Bike prep is key — but stuff still breaks. Even a tiny crank arm pin can end a day. Know shops and backup transport. Have Plans A–F ready. Flexibility and quick pivots kept the ride alive when mechanicals hit. Buses & rideshares save tours. Coastal transit and surprise Ubers kept us moving. Greatest hits still feel fresh. Cape Lookout, South Beach, Newport — new vibes, upgrades, and slower pacing. Weather's shifting. Got one classic foggy Yachats day, but most were sunnier/warmer — pack for both. Shorter mileage = more joy. 30–40 mi days let us linger in towns and stay energized. Hydrate & fuel early/often. Morning “camel up,” steady snacks, and Red Bulls beat last year's bonk. Hotel nights reset morale. Lincoln City, Yachats, Florence stays turned stress into mini-vacations. Logistics flexibility saves cash. Mid-trip flight/car/hotel changes avoided big losses. Ditch the perfect plan. Embracing detours and improvisation brought back the adventure and fun
