If You Want to Gain More Energy You Should: Lower your stress response to allow your body to make the right amount of cortisol for you Build muscle through resistance training in order to manage your glucose intake Stress your mitochondria consistently and in the right ways in order to balance your hormone production  Implement simple and effective lifestyle changes to improve your mitochondrial function and cortisol production   Do you dread having to drag yourself out of bed in the morning, knowing that you might not have enough energy to get through the day? The two biggest causes for this lack of energy is inefficient mitochondrial function and the hormone cortisol.  The good news is that there are simple lifestyle changes and tools that are easy, inexpensive, and possible to do from home that can balance your cortisol and improve your mitochondrial function.   Connecting the Dots With Dr. Carrie Jones Dr. Carrie Jones is a practitioner, internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator in all things women’s health and hormones and a fellow mitochondria nerd. Dr. Carrie is the medical direction for Precision Analytical, the creators of the DUTCH hormone test, my hands down favorite test for understanding what is going on with your hormones.   Cortisol Is the Key Connecting the dots between your mitochondrial function, cortisol production, stress, sleep, and glucose can help you understand what is going on in your body so that you can relieve your symptoms and start harnessing the energy you need to get through your busy day.  It is no secret that everything happening within your body affects one another. The #1 role of cortisol is to manage your glucose and help you wake up in the morning through the cortisol awakening response. You need to get out of the negative cortisol feedback loop and increase your cortisol production by feeding the mitochondria what it needs to work the right way.   Happy Mitochondria = Happy Women Happy mitochondria equal happy women, and happy women make the world go round. Improve your mitochondrial happiness comes down to consistency in how you stress your mitochondria in the right ways.  Things such as building muscle with resistance training, improving your posture, and getting a good night's sleep are all simple and easy ways to heal what is going on with your hormones and give you back the energy you crave. Are you ready to take back control of your energy by improving your mitochondrial function and cortisol production?

It affects your hormones.” (17:36) “Cortisol does a lot. But like Goldilocks, too much is a problem, and too little is a problem. We want it just right.” (19:52) “It's the cortisol with the glucose with the insulin that has changed lately, and as a result, you have to shift with it. You have to shift with it in the type of exercise that you do and how you manage stress. Otherwise, you will end up like the ‘too little’ Goldilocks.” (26:29) “It doesn't have to be really huge, expensive and complicated. It can be pretty straight forward and easy which is what I love about the mitochondria.” (33:43) “I hate when women just run out and take iron, I hate when women just run out and take copper. Because you can overdose on those things and it can be problematic so you want to be really careful of randomly just going online or running to your store and buying stuff.” (39:34)   In This Episode Understanding the hormone pathways that are impacting your energy, period, and more (13:10) How cortisol can interrupt your natural rhythms and your energy supply (18:37) Simple and inexpensive ways that you can make your mitochondria happier (30:30) Connecting the dots between your mitochondrial health and your energy levels (35:22) The best way to understand your fatigue and test your hormones and mitochondrial health markers (44:24)   Resources Mentioned: Dr. Mariza’s Green Smoothie Recipe Guide Precision Analytical DUTCH Hormone Test – Use Code dutch50 for $50 off the DUTCH Complete or DUTCH Plus Tests Dutch Test Website Follow Dr. Carrie on Instagram   Related Episodes:  Episode 120: Is Your Doctor Using The Correct Hormone Test… Or Not?

Joshua A. Shea is a recovering pornography addict who is here to shed a different light on the topic of porn addiction and what goes on inside the mind of a porn addict. Joshua’s 20-year addiction came to a head when he pulled himself off his bipolar medication and engaged an underage girl in an online chat room. Now sober, out of prison and still living with his wife and children, Joshua is here to explain the real motivating factors behind his own personal porn addiction.  For Joshua, it was never about the pornography or the alcohol but instead about the control he gained from using this material. If you have been hurt by someone’s porn usage or want to gain a better understanding of the decision-making process of a pornography addict, this is an episode you need to listen too. Despite the fact that many adults look at pornography, it is a topic that nobody wants to talk about. Joshua wants to open up that conversation and shine a light on the problem of pornography addiction to help others who may be struggling as well. If you are the spouse or the partner of a pornography addict, Joshua wants to make sure that you know that it has nothing to do with you and provide you with insights to help you understand that there is no stereotypical addict.  Do you or somebody that you love struggle with pornography addiction? Share this episode with them and let us know how transformation has proven possible for you in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode Understanding the role of past trauma, alcohol and control played in Joshua’s addiction Why you should not confuse intercourse with a pornography addiction Learn how Joshua’s wife handled the situation and did the work to heal Explore what recovery looks like now and the importance of being willing to try Addressing the way that the Internet is changing society and pornography usage   Quotes “Pornography and the alcohol, they both allowed me to escape someplace else. They allowed me to go somewhere where I was in control. And that ultimately is what my pornography addiction specifically was about my entire life.” (5:07) “I think I even made the joke back then that all of these different people would only ever meet at my funeral, and they would all have very different stories to share with one another because they all knew different versions of me.” (10:46) “Despite the magazine falling apart, despite the fact that I was drinking more and my relationships with my family were falling apart, life was crumbling, and the one place that I could exert control was in the middle of the night in these chat rooms.” (17:10) “I don’t blame the addiction for what I did. The addiction did make me get out of control, it did make me not recognize cause and effect and not recognize what could happen and make poor decisions. However, I made the very poor decision to pull myself off my bipolar medication.” (21:41) “Despite the fact that the vast majority of people are looking at pornography, everybody wants to pretend that they don’t. And if everybody pretends that they don’t look at pornography, I am not even saying addicts, but if everybody pretends that they don’t look at pornography, how can we even begin to have conversations about pornography addiction?” (29:12)   Links Recovering Porn Addict Website The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About by Joshua Shea   Find the full episode post here: https://pbtinstitute.com/89 Do you have Post Betrayal Syndrome?

What is grit? When we think of the traits associated with grit we also thing of perseverance and determination and someone who won't give up. While grit has many definitions, only you have the knowledge to answer for yourself whether you should give up or keep going.  It is only by listening to the messages that your body is sending you that you can know when you should use your grittiness to find sustained attention and focus. By ignoring the distractions of goals that conflict with your long term objectives, fostering your grit and improving your attention span, you can find rewards in the act of pushing forward instead of giving up.  How do you foster grit? Does it play an active role in how you push through obstacles in your life?

Things are always going to try to take us off our path, but grit is just moving forward, keeping on.” (9:53) “For me, the key here is to really listen in to my intuition. That answer is always inside. We know which battles are worth fighting and which battles we need and should attempt to win.” (13:53)   Links Join the Love Is Medicine Facebook Group   Find the full show notes for this episode here Keep up with all things Love Is Medicine Follow Razi on Facebook |Instagram

Hope has the power to improve your expectations, mood and your body's susceptibility to illness. Having hope in your life can help you better understand the world around you, and provide you with the tools to adapt to circumstances as they change.

The felt experience of hope impacts every part of your being from your environment to your mindset and physical symptoms. Once the connection between our body, mind and heart and their relation to hope becomes clear, you can harness the power within yourself to make the changes you wish to see for yourself and the world.

After experiencing her own familial and marital betrayals, Dr. Debi Silber felt compelled to go back to school and complete her Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology. Throughout her research, Dr. Debi focused on how women experience betrayal and discovered three key components to how long it can take us to heal. A renowned holistic psychologist, health, mindset, and personal development expert, Dr. Debi is the expert on embracing and moving forward from a betrayal. Today Dr. Debi shares her insights into the 5 key stages of betrayal, the symptoms of Post-Betrayal Syndrome, and what you can do to move past an unhealed betrayal to live life with no restrictions. While betrayals can have many faces and varying degree of deceit, there is no doubt that leaving a past betrayal unresolved can have negative implications both physically and mentally. Dr. Debi argues that we need to balance this by taking care of our spiritual and emotional needs as equals, find ways to truly forgive yourself and find closure, and accepting the past instead of dulling the pain. Our greatest crisis can reveal our greatest gift if we are willing to see it, and Dr. Debi provides practical tools and knowledge to help you move from resilience to transformation. Learn how to move through the 5 stages of betrayal and open your window of willingness to mourn the loss of the past and move onto your new life. Once you lose it all, you can rebuild your life into whatever you have dreamed of. Are you still holding onto pain from a past betrayal?

And to stay there just gives your power to the very person that hurt you.” (27:48) “You have a new mind based on what you have experienced, based on where you are now, based on new beliefs that you are forming, and you have a new world view based on what you have been through.” (33:02) “What do you need to do so that you take that trauma that you never thought you would recover from, and how can you use that as fuel to just make it not even tolerable, make it your gift and then your contribution.” (36:33)   Links Take the Post Betrayal Syndrome Quiz Here Join the From Betrayal to Breakthrough Online Program The Unshakable Woman by Dr. Debi Silber PBT Institute Website From Betrayal to Breakthrough Podcast Follow Dr. Debi Silber on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn   Find the full show notes for this episode here Keep up with all things Love Is Medicine Follow Razi on Facebook |Instagram

Everybody has been rejected at some point in their lives. Whether big or small, rejection can hurt just as much as a broken arm or bruised knee, so why don’t we treat it the same? On this episode, I am redefining pain to include the social component and examining exactly why rejection can hurt so bad. The lingering pain of rejection can change our lives forever, so it is necessary to understand the emotional, cognitive and social components of a distressing experience. Get ready to learn how the brain is impacted by pain regardless of its origin, how to use top-down processing to change your perceptions, and ways to soothe yourself using your neuron processors. In addition to the science behind pain, I am also explaining how social rejection impacts the immune system, the destruction pain killers could be having on your body and relationships, and how to use self-care to stay in the good graces of those that we love.   While rejection is a very common thing in everyday life, ranging from economic issues to forming friendships and familial bonds, learning how to move on from rejection is your best tool to handle it with grace and ease. Whether you have dealt with rejection from a close loved one directly, or social rejection, there are strategies out there to help you move forward without becoming more isolated. Although we can never fully avoid rejection, by recognizing the physical pain caused by it we can take steps to heal together. Do you have a lingering memory of rejection? How has it impacted how you interact with the world? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!   In This Episode Understanding the physical-social overlap of how we process pain The main difference between pain from a physical component and social rejection Why rejection from those closest to you hurts the more than rejection from strangers Reasons developing defense mechanisms against rejection is not a good thing Using physical exercise and social interaction as a way to naturally heal   Quotes “Rejection is a component of being a social creature. But it hurts us so deeply, that it is embedded into who we are as humans.” (5:34) “Pain that has no physical cause, emotional or social pain, is just as real as pain from a broken arm, cancer, or any other physical ailment.” (8:38) “Because humans are social creatures, any definition of pain that does not include the social component is incomplete.” (9:17) “There is a reason why we experience emotional pain. It is often necessary for introspection, insight, maturity, and personal grown.” (19:51)   Links LIM 006: How We Are Loved Impacts Us For A Lifetime LIM 015: Vulnerability Can Save Your Relationships   Find the full show notes for this episode here Keep up with all things Love Is Medicine Follow Razi on Facebook | Instagram

We're all familiar with the discomfort of vulnerability. When we open ourselves up we are increasing our chances of getting hurt, or being rejected for who we truly are. However, did you know that vulnerability can also increase your oxytocin, or the love hormone, and can actually be used to strengthen your relationship? On this episode, I break down the hormones and chemicals that mediate our experience of being vulnerable, the role oxytocin plays in both intimacy and feeling unsafe, and why you need to be using your vulnerability to strengthen your relationship rather than pushing it away. When you give yourself permission to be yourself in your relationship, no matter what relationship it is, it helps you live your own life more authentically. By being honest to yourself and those around you by coming from a place of love, you can become more comfortable asking for helping and have more courage in yourself. It is time to stop living in fear for what might happen, and let someone see you for who you truly are. While it is not easy to share our more innermost selves with others, if you have the strength, the rewards are worth the risk.   In This Episode Understanding the role oxytocin plays in intimacy and vulnerability Using your vulnerability as a strength to make relationships more fulfilling Fostering attention and motivation to take care of any relationship Questions to ask yourself to assess how vulnerable you are being with yourself How to increase your oxytocin to motivate yourself to live authentically   Quotes “Falling in love and revealing our innermost selves to another can be terrifying for some people. But being vulnerable can actually be the key to a more successful relationship.” (6:41) “The brain identifies vulnerability in a relationship, and then invests in trying to strengthen it.” (10:01) “Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable in our most intimate relationships, even when it is really really scary, can ultimately lead to the relationship we truly desire.” (12:43)   Links Find the full show notes for this episode here Keep up with all things Love Is Medicine Follow Razi on Facebook | Instagram
