How Do I Know If My Website Is Penalized by Google? Website Health & Technical SEO Masterclass with SEO Expert, ⁠Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS⁠⁠⁠ | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.This extensive SEO audio provides an in-depth discussion on technical SEO and how businesses can identify and address Google penalties impacting their websites. Favour uses analogies like a car's engine or a leaking roof to explain complex concepts, emphasizing that a penalty often signals a need for correction and improvement, not failure. Key areas covered include website structure, content quality (thin vs. thick content), proper use of tags and categories, image optimization, video embedding, and leveraging Google Search Console for diagnostics. The conversation also touches on the distinction between manual and algorithmic penalties and offers practical advice, such as using search operators, to check website visibility and performance.Frequently Asked Questions1. How can I tell if Google has penalized my website, and what does it mean?Google penalizes websites when they violate webmaster guidelines, often due to issues with content quality, relevance, or technical structure. A penalty means your site's search ranking is negatively affected, leading to reduced visibility and traffic. While a penalty might seem negative, it's actually an opportunity for correction and improvement, indicating that your site is at least visible enough for Google to notice. You might receive email notifications from Google, or you can check your Google Search Console for specific error messages and performance insights.2. What are the two main types of Google penalties, and how do they differ?There are two primary types of Google penalties:Manual Penalty: This occurs when a human reviewer from Google's web spam team flags your website for violating guidelines, often due to manipulative practices like spammy or hidden links ("black hat SEO"). These are rare but indicate a severe violation.Algorithmic Penalty: This is far more common and happens automatically due to issues detected by Google's algorithms. Reasons can include outdated or "thin" content, low quality or irrelevant information, generic AI-generated content, unnatural links, or regurgitated content. These penalties lead to automatic demotion or removal from search results.3. How does "thin content" contribute to Google penalties, and what makes content "thick"?"Thin content" refers to web pages that lack depth, context, or comprehensive information on a given topic. It's often characterized by a low word count, insufficient detail, and a lack of supporting elements. Google measures articles by reading time, word count, and character count. If your content is significantly shorter than the industry average for a similar topic (e.g., 300 words vs. 3,000 words), it's considered thin and unlikely to outrank competitors."Thick content," conversely, is rich in information and provides a thorough exploration of a topic. To create thick content, you should:Expand on topics: Go beyond basic definitions, offering more context and depth.Include various elements: Incorporate images (optimized for size), embedded videos (not uploaded), audio clips, statistics, examples, comparison charts, quotes, listicles, proper formatting (headings, links), and frequently asked questions (FAQs).Answer user intent: Ensure your content directly addresses the questions and needs of your target audience.4. Why is connecting my website to Google Search Console crucial for identifying and resolving penalties?Google Search Console (GSC) is the primary tool Google provides for website owners to monitor their site's performance in search results and identify issues. Connecting your website to GSC is the first essential step because it allows Google to communicate error messages and indexing problems directly to you. Within GSC, you can view performance insights, check the "Pages" section under "Indexing" to see which pages are known, submitted, or unsubmitted, and understand why certain pages might not be indexed. This diagnostic information is vital for understanding the root causes of any penalties and guiding your corrective actions.5. What are common technical SEO issues that can lead to Google penalties, beyond content quality?Technical SEO issues relate to the structural and operational aspects of your website that affect how search engines crawl and index it. Common problems include:Website size and image optimization: Large file sizes, especially for images and uploaded videos, can slow down your website, leading to a poor user experience and penalties. Use compression tools (e.g., compressor.io) for images and embed videos instead of uploading them.Broken or inaccessible links: Ensure all links within your sitemap and across your site are functional and lead to valid destinations.Incorrect robots.txt or "no index" tags: The robots.txt file and "no index" meta tags tell search engine robots which pages to crawl or not to crawl. Accidentally blocking important pages (a common default issue with platforms like Wix for blog tags) can prevent Google from indexing your content.Outdated website structure: An inefficient or poorly organized website structure can hinder crawlability and overall performance.Slow loading times: Directly linked to website size and optimization, slow loading speeds can negatively impact user experience and search rankings.6. What's the recommended first step for a business owner who suspects their website is penalized by Google?The immediate first step is to connect your website to Google Search Console (GSC) if you haven't already.Go to google.com and search for "Google Search Console."Click on the official Google Search Console Tools link.Click "Start Now."If your site isn't connected, GSC will provide a unique verification code (often a TXT record).Go to your domain name server (DNS) settings within your website hosting provider's control panel.Add the provided TXT record to your DNS settings.Return to GSC and click "Verify."A green bar indicates successful connection. Once connected, GSC will begin providing insights into your site's performance, indexing status, and any specific error messages or penalty notifications, allowing you to diagnose and address issues effectively.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEO Optimization Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Complimentary SEO Discovery Call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brands We Love and Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury Products⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Embracing wellness throughout our lifespan is crucial for maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health as we grow older. Here are some key strategies to promote healthy aging and ensure we live our best lives at any age.   1. Stay Physically Active Regular physical activity is one of the most important aspects of healthy aging. Exercise helps maintain muscle strength, flexibility, and balance, reducing the risk of falls and injuries. It also supports cardiovascular health and aids in weight management. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week, including activities like walking, swimming, or cycling, as well as strength training exercises.   2. Eat a Balanced Diet Nutrition plays a vital role in healthy aging. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats provides essential nutrients that support overall health. Pay attention to portion sizes and hydration, and limit the intake of processed foods, sugar, and salt. Incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries, nuts, and leafy greens, can help combat oxidative stress and promote cellular health.   3. Prioritize Mental Health Mental health is equally important as physical health in the aging process. Engage in activities that stimulate your mind, such as reading, puzzles, or learning new skills. Social connections also play a crucial role in mental well-being. Stay connected with friends and family, join clubs or groups, and participate in community activities to foster a sense of belonging and support.   4. Get Regular Health Check-ups Regular medical check-ups are essential for early detection and management of health conditions. Keep up with screenings and vaccinations, and communicate openly with your healthcare provider about any concerns or changes in your health. Preventive care and early intervention can significantly improve outcomes and enhance your quality of life.   5. Practice Good Sleep Hygiene Quality sleep is fundamental to healthy aging. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night and establish a consistent sleep routine. Create a comfortable sleep environment, limit exposure to screens before bedtime, and avoid caffeine and heavy meals in the evening. Good sleep supports cognitive function, mood regulation, and overall physical health.   6. Manage Stress Effectively Chronic stress can have detrimental effects on health. Incorporate stress-reducing practices into your daily routine, such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga. Finding hobbies and activities that bring joy and relaxation can also help manage stress and improve overall well-being.   7. Stay Hydrated Hydration is crucial for maintaining bodily functions and overall health. As we age, our sense of thirst may diminish, making it important to consciously drink enough water throughout the day. Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily, and adjust your intake based on activity level and climate.   8. Avoid Harmful Habits Avoiding harmful habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption is vital for healthy aging. Smoking and heavy drinking can lead to numerous health issues, including heart disease, cancer, and liver damage. If you need help quitting, seek support from healthcare professionals or support groups.   9. Maintain a Positive Attitude A positive outlook on life can greatly influence your health and well-being. Cultivate gratitude, practice self-compassion, and focus on the things that bring you happiness and fulfillment. Engaging in activities that you are passionate about and setting achievable goals can provide a sense of purpose and direction.   10. Stay Engaged and Active in Your Community Being active in your community can provide a sense of purpose and belonging. Volunteer, join clubs or groups, and participate in community events. Staying engaged with others helps maintain social connections, which are crucial for mental and emotional health.   Healthy aging is about embracing wellness throughout the lifespan by making conscious choices that promote physical, mental, and emotional health. By staying active, eating a balanced diet, prioritizing mental health, and maintaining social connections, we can enhance our quality of life and age gracefully. Remember, it's never too late to start making positive changes that contribute to a healthier, happier life.

How Fitness Actually Makes You Happier: Unlock Joy Through Self-Care and Movement Discover the transformative power of fitness in boosting your happiness levels. In this eye-opening video, "How Fitness Actually Makes You Happier," we explore the science-backed connection between physical activity, mental well-being, and true fulfillment. If you're searching for ways to improve mental health through exercise, reduce stress with workouts, or find lasting joy via self-care routines, this is your guide. Learn how prioritizing your fitness isn't selfish—it's essential for radiating positivity and supporting those around you. Today, I want to talk to you about something profoundly simple yet staggeringly overlooked: the absolute necessity of taking care of yourself first. Not as a selfish act, but as the foundation upon which you can truly be of service to others. And woven into this, I'll delve into why fitness—both mental and physical—plays such a pivotal role in your overall happiness. This isn't just feel-good advice; it's a blueprint for living a life that's not only sustainable but radiant with purpose and joy. Let me start with a story we've all heard but perhaps not fully internalized: the airplane oxygen mask analogy. You're buckling in for takeoff, and the flight attendant drones on about safety procedures. "In the event of a loss of cabin pressure," they say, "secure your own mask before assisting others." Why? Because if you're gasping for air, fumbling in panic, how on earth are you going to help the child next to you, or the elderly passenger across the aisle? It's instinctual to want to rush to aid those we love first, but the harsh truth is that neglecting your own needs renders you useless—or worse, a liability—to everyone around you. This principle extends far beyond emergencies in the sky; it's the core of everyday life. Imagine you're a parent, juggling work, kids, and a thousand obligations. If you're running on empty—sleep-deprived, stressed, and eating junk—you snap at your children, zone out during family dinners, and bring a cloud of negativity home. But if you prioritize your well-being—carving out time for a walk, a healthy meal, or even five minutes of meditation—you show up as the patient, energetic parent who listens, plays, and teaches by example. You're not just surviving; you're thriving, and that energy spills over, lifting everyone up. The same holds in friendships, relationships, and even professional settings. Think about it: when was the last time you tried to support a friend through a crisis while battling your own burnout? Your advice comes out half-hearted, your empathy feels forced. But when you're centered, rested, and strong, your words carry weight, your presence is a balm. Self-care isn't indulgence; it's the prerequisite for genuine altruism. As the saying goes, you can't pour from an empty cup. By filling yours first, you ensure there's plenty to share. Now, let's unpack why this matters on a deeper level. In a world that's increasingly interconnected yet isolating, we're bombarded with demands—from social media's highlight reels to the relentless pace of modern work. It's easy to fall into the trap of people-pleasing, of putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own until you're depleted. But here's the irony: when you neglect yourself, you diminish your capacity to contribute meaningfully. Studies in psychology, like those on caregiver burnout, show that individuals who prioritize self-care are more resilient helpers. They experience less compassion fatigue and sustain their efforts longer. It's not about being selfish; it's about being strategic. By investing in yourself, you multiply your impact on the world. Building on this foundation, fitness emerges as a key driver of happiness. Regular exercise releases endorphins—nature's mood boosters—reducing anxiety and depression while enhancing self-esteem. Whether it's yoga for mental clarity, weightlifting for strength, or running for euphoria, physical activity rewires your brain for positivity. Research from Harvard shows that consistent workouts can be as effective as antidepressants for mild depression. Incorporate fitness into your routine: start with 30 minutes daily, blend cardio and strength training, and pair it with mindfulness. The result? Sharper focus, better sleep, and deeper connections. Fitness isn't just about aesthetics; it's your pathway to authentic joy, empowering you to live fully and inspire others.

In episode 719, Ella Padilla Mitchell shares how food bloggers can stay on top of food trends to create content that resonates and drives engagement. Ella is the hungry brain behind Eatin With Ella, a food and travel brand where she documents everything from street eats in Hong Kong to secret pasta spots in Seoul. She creates content that makes people say “I need that in my mouth now,” and she's not afraid to hop a plane (or just a Phoenix freeway) in the name of flavor. She's built a following by keeping it real, fun, and full of carbs—with a side of good lighting and better vibes. In this episode, you'll learn how to spot, leverage, and creatively adapt food trends to grow your online presence and connect with your audience on multiple platforms. Key points discussed include: - Spot trends early by scrolling TikTok: TikTok is usually where food trends originate before making their way to Instagram or Facebook. - Leverage curiosity and engagement: If a viral video sparks questions in the comments, that's your cue to create a recipe or offer insight that adds value. - Translate trends into blog content: Don't just stop at social media—turn viral ideas into structured, accessible recipes on your blog with clear measurements. - Use SEO strategically: Incorporate phrases like “viral TikTok recipe” or “copycat [creator's name] dish” to capture what people are actually searching for. - Ask locals when traveling: When seeking foodie gems abroad, Ella recommends asking locals, exploring Reddit, and watching Anthony Bourdain episodes for authentic finds. - Post imperfect content consistently: Let go of perfectionism - showing up regularly—whether you're polished or not—is how you open the door to exciting opportunities. - Batch content to avoid burnout: Take advantage of creative bursts by batching content, so you can schedule posts and give yourself breathing room during low-energy periods.

To spur my songwriting juices, I got this deck of "Oblique Strategies" cards, created by Brian Eno, designed to prompt creativity. Here are a few examples. INSIDE / OUTSIDE (Oblique Strategy: “THINK - Inside the work, outside the work”)Inside - outside: it's hard to reconcileInside is terrified, though outside may beguileIf I stay inside I just might hide from tribulations and the trialOf outside's obligations to display the latest style.Inside is a cozy place, my home made out of bricksOutside is an endless space, with hucksters full of tricksWho wait around each corner to deliver blows and kicksOr, subtler art to break your heart no medicine can fixINSIDE - IT'S WARMOUTSIDE MAY DO ME HARMOUTSIDE - IT'S COLDINSIDE I'M GROWING OLD.It might agoraphobia, this reluctance that I feelOr, maybe something nobler, some grace for me to healIt might be something sinister, a cage of the mind too realBut, whatever the urge I need to emerge a person who can feel.Inside - outside: sings out of harmonyA discordant strain of grief and painAn obvious forgeryTurn on the light, step into the nightAnd accept what's meant to beWherever you go, at least you'll knowWhat it feels like to be free.REVERSE (O.S.: Reverse)I'm stuck in reverse, and way round the bacKThe brakes are all worn and the axle is cracked,The steering is worthless, it's totally whackedI'm headed for trouble and everything's black (and everything's black)I'm up to my elbow in sulfurous muckAnd as far as all I know I'm dead out of luckBut, if it's not too late I'll sell you my truckLet fate steer the crate, and earn Satan a buckReverse ain't the worst           If you face it with graceIt's like running in placeOr, a pie in the face         Reverse is just relative                 A black hole in spaceIt ain't something you need to erase.      Perhaps I've been looking at my problem all wrongMaybe Reverse is the point of my songIt could be “ass backwards” will make me last longAnd, what doesn't kill me might build me up strong.FOOL'S GOLD(O.S.: what are you really thinking about just now? Incorporate.)HAVE A DESIRE TO CREATE, BUT NOT A SINGLE IDEAWOULDN'T IT BE REALLY GREAT TO PULL AN “AVE MARIA”?I'LL PRAY TO THE GOD OF ART TO ASSIST ME AND OPEN MY HEARTOR AT LEAST TO MAKE A STARTTOWARDS SOMETHING TRUTHFUL, SOMETHING BOLD, SOMETHING HONESTTHAT'S NOT FOOL'S GOLD.IT'S NOT MY FINEST HOURBUT I WON'T LET MYSELF BE SOURI STILL HAVE HOPE FOR SUCCESSAND THOUGH I SPEAK TO AUDIENCE OF ONEWE'RE STILL HAVING FUNSO FORWARD!

If you've been nodding along with the wellness movement but still aren't sure how to take your first real step—this episode is your warm welcome in.   People everywhere are waking up to a simple truth: real health doesn't come from pills, shakes, or short-term programs. Most of us have tried them—spent the money, followed the plans—only to end up frustrated or right back where we started. The missing piece? A strong foundation. And the good news is, it's not complicated—just a few practical, common-sense shifts can spark real, lasting change.   Join Jamie Belz, host of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, and Mike Belz, CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), as they break down the Foundations of Wellness into common-sense, doable action steps for anyone just beginning their health journey.   This episode is packed with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and practical tips to help you pick your own adventure in a doable way. No more "all or nothing" attempts. Start over for the last time with one or a few of the easy but effective action steps you can incorporate today. If you're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally start your wellness journey, this episode breaks it down into six simple, sustainable categories—what we call the Foundations of Wellness. You'll learn how to:   Eat a nutrient-dense diet rooted in real, whole foods (not calorie math), following Weston A. Price principles and honoring your bio-individual needs. Optimize digestion, the root of all health, by chewing thoroughly, practicing mindful eating, and supporting stomach acid and enzyme function (see Episode 11 for more). Balance blood sugar with small, daily habits like walking after meals and pairing carbs with protein and fat (see Episode 28). Improve sleep through calming evening routines, avoiding stimulants before bed, and aligning with your circadian rhythm. Reduce stress with tools like the 4-7-8 breath, gratitude practices, and brain dumping— (see Episode 42). Incorporate movement you actually enjoy—walking, dancing, or strength training—while supporting lymph flow, bone density, and energy.   You'll also hear real-life strategies like Mike's “gas station rule,” how to track wins without perfectionism, and why home-cooked meals and community support are game changers. Most importantly, we'll help you find your why—the motivation that keeps you going when things get hard.   Whether you're trying to lose weight, heal your gut, regain energy, or just understand what “healthy” actually means, this episode gives you a practical, welcoming place to begin.   Podcast Episodes Mentioned ⁠Episode 4⁠ – Bio-Individuality ⁠Episode 11⁠ – Digestive Hell with Gray Graham ⁠Episode 28⁠ – Blood Sugar 101 ⁠Episode 31⁠ – The Cold Turkey Episode ⁠Episode 42⁠ – Cultivating Joy   Find a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) ⁠NTA Practitioner Directory⁠     Please hit SUBSCRIBE, leave a 5-Star Review, and connect with us on Spotify comments!

In this episode, Dave breaks down his personal strategy and process for launching new products on Amazon, detailing a four-stage approach that spans from the first few weeks after launch to ongoing strategies for maintaining sales and optimizing listings. We talk about why its important to have a pricing strategy and an ACOS goal, to have only exact match turned on, and to have reviews as soon as possible.    Struggling with tariffs? Unsure about upcoming changes? Let's talk! With Portless, you only pay tariffs after your customers pay you – so your cash always moves faster than your costs. Schedule a risk assessment and leverage tariff deferment today. All new customers get $1,000 to reinvest in their business.   Launching a product isn't as crazy as it used to be.    Back in the 2010s, you could put up anything on Amazon and it would do huge numbers.    But today, its a different story.    You have to have enough reviews for your product and a low price to stand out from the competition at the minimum.    How do you get this all done? More importantly, what else can I do to guarantee success?    Here's the ultimate 3 month launch plan that we incorporate in our businesses for each new product we launch.    Takeaways In the first few weeks of launch, price your product 40% lower to attract buyers. Focus on exact targeting for PPC in early stages. Send your products into Amazon Vine to get reviews early. Gradually increase prices; Amazon hates when you increase prices abruptly. Utilize promotions based on how competitive your product category is. Auto campaigns help identify effective keywords that you can eventually add to your manual keywords. Aim for 30+ reviews for basic social proof. Incorporate top keywords into product imagery. If you get a lot of bad reviews, consider relaunching your product. Continuously improve your product based on customer feedback.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly common diagnosis. Yet most behavioral health providers are unaware that they can play a role in both the assessment and treatment of OSA in their patients. Today we're joined by an expert in the subfield of sleep psychology, Dr. Phil Gehrman. He shares basic information about what OSA is, how providers can effectively screen for it, and how they can facilitate treatment for this dangerous condition. Despite what you might have heard before, Dr. Gehrman posits that behavioral health providers can play “a huge potential role that really is untapped.” Dr. Phil Gehrman is Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He directs the Sleep, Neurobiology and Psychopathology lab at Penn. He has an active research program exploring the mechanisms and treatment of sleep and circadian dysregulation in the context of mental health disorders. Dr. Gehrman's clinical specialization is on the delivery of cognitive behavioral and chronotherapeutic interventions for insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, and other sleep disorders. The overarching goal of his work is to advance the understanding of the links between sleep and mental illness through translational research that spans biology to therapeutics.Resources mentioned in this episode: STOP Screening tool for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: https://deploymentpsych.org/content/insomnia-toolsMotivational Interviewing for CPAP Adherence: Rapelli G, Pietrabissa G, Manzoni GM, Bastoni I, Scarpina F, Tovaglieri I, Perger E, Garbarino S, Fanari P, Lombardi C and Castelnuovo G (2021) Improving CPAP Adherence in Adults With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Scoping Review of Motivational Interventions.

Story at-a-glance Balance is a foundational skill your body uses constantly, from standing up and reaching to walking across a room. It's also a powerful indicator of overall health, especially heart and brain function Research shows that impaired balance predicts future cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke, even in adults with no prior heart conditions Poor balance in older adults is also strongly linked to increased dementia risk. Those with lower balance times face significantly higher rates of Alzheimer's and vascular dementia To assess your balance at home, try doing simple tests like standing on one leg for 10 seconds or completing the “timed up and go” test in under 12 seconds Incorporate activities like heel-to-toe walking, chair-supported squats, stability ball use, gentle tai chi or yoga, and ankle strengthening exercises into your daily workout routine to improve your balance

I'm going to review the cortisol and exercise connection or confusion… and offer some solutions. Feeling exhausted, frustrated and fat? Got stubborn belly fat you want to lose? You're exercising but tired all the time? Sleep or don't, and you're still never rested?  Sound familiar or been there? This episode is PACKED with solutions on cortisol and exercise in menopause. Don't miss it.   What is Cortisol? Your body's primary stress hormone, but it's also your energy hormone. Regulates metabolism, immune response, and stress. Mental and emotional response to stress. For women in midlife, perimenopause or postmenopause, how cortisol behaves is everything.   Cortisol Follows Your Circadian Rhythm Morning: Cortisol spikes – helps you get up, feel alert, burn fat, and stabilize blood sugar. Evening: Cortisol drops – when melatonin (your sleep hormone) takes over. Disruptions to Circadian Rhythm – chronic stress, fatigue, overexercising, late-night screen time keep cortisol elevated when it should be dropping.   HPA Axis Dysfunction (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal) Your body's stress thermostat — when it's overworked, it breaks. Constant demand leads to adrenal insufficiency.  HPA Axis dial things down to protect you and that's when you hit a wall: You're tired but wired. You can't sleep or sleep all day. Your blood sugar is out of whack — hello cravings and midsection weight gain. Workouts leave you exhausted instead of energized.   Work Out Doesn't Work Anymore? Cortisol Chaos When your old workouts become stressors instead of solutions. Workouts add fuel to the fire. Solution: Cortisol-Conscious Movement The right exercise, at the right time, for the right reason.   The Cortisol–Thyroid–Adrenal Triangle Cortisol: Regulates blood sugar and inflammation. Thyroid: Controls metabolism — but sensitive to cortisol imbalances. Adrenals: Produces cortisol — but burns out if they're overstimulated. If cortisol stays high, the thyroid slows metabolism. That's when fat loss becomes frustrating, no matter how you eat or train.   The Influence of Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause    Cortisol During Perimenopause and Postmenopause Hormonal Fluctuations Decline in estrogen and progesterone affects cortisol regulation. Increased sensitivity to stress and potential for cortisol imbalance. Symptoms of Elevated Cortisol Weight gain, especially around the abdomen. Sleep disturbances and fatigue. Mood swings and anxiety    Symptoms of Low Cortisol  Fatigue - in spite of rest Low Blood Pressure, weakness   Loss of Appetite    Know When You Are On An Allostatic Load When you reach a tipping point, overloaded by chronic stress. Different kinds of stressors: Emotional Relationship Financial Work Home Hormonal Change Physical (diet & sleep) Exercise   The Good News: Cortisol Isn't Your Enemy Cortisol isn't bad. It's misunderstood. When it works with you, it helps you burn fat, stay focused, and bounce back fast. The key is restoring rhythm — using smart, intentional exercise and lifestyle upgrades that rebalance your body's natural stress-response system.   Exercise and Cortisol Impact of Exercise on Cortisol Levels High-intensity workouts can spike cortisol levels. (it's natural!!)  Chronic overtraining may lead to sustained high cortisol and adrenal fatigue . Timing Matters Morning workouts align with natural cortisol peaks. Evening high-intensity workouts may disrupt sleep and cortisol rhythm .   Managing Cortisol Levels Lifestyle Strategies Prioritize sleep and stress management techniques. Incorporate relaxation practices like yoga and meditation, box breathing. Nutrition Tips Maintain stable blood sugar with balanced meals. Limit caffeine and alcohol intake Avoid strict keto or carnivore and include resistant starches  Exercise Recommendations Focus on low-to-moderate intensity and short duration workouts. Include restorative activities and avoid overtraining. Supplement Recommendations B vitamins and magnesium are depleted by stress.  Maca (Find Femminescense here) is an adaptogen.  Ashwagandha can also be helpful for some.  Cortisol Manager (available online) contains some of the above.   Solutions To Your Questions on Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause   Q: Can I recover from adrenal issues on my own? A: Yes, but only if you actually slow down and stop pushing through it. Most women make the mistake of thinking rest is weakness. It's not. Recovery starts when you listen to your body's signals instead of ignoring them. Dial down high-intensity workouts (for now), focus on sleep, manage blood sugar, and pull in the right kind of movement — walking, yoga, strength training with intention. Identifying how deep your HPA Axis dysfunction goes.  Recovery is possible — but not if you keep acting like nothing's wrong.   Q: How long will it take to recover? A: That depends on how long you've been burned out… and whether you actually change your behavior. Mild adrenal fatigue: 4–6 weeks of rest + smart training + nutrition can turn things around. Moderate dysfunction: 3–6 months to really feel like yourself again. Severe HPA Axis dysfunction or adrenal insufficiency: 6–12 months of consistent changes, possibly with functional support. Reminder: The sooner you start, the faster you bounce back.   Q: Will I lose this weight once I fix my cortisol issues? A: Most likely — yes. If cortisol is the reason for your stubborn midsection fat, fixing it is a prerequisite to fat loss. Cortisol dysregulation = insulin resistance, blood sugar swings, cravings, and metabolism slowdown. When cortisol normalizes, your thyroid, adrenals, and metabolism start cooperating again. But here's the kicker: you can't “outwork” cortisol. You have to work with it.

In this insightful episode, we dive into common myths about depression and how they can impact our understanding and approach to mental health. Jared Jones, a returning expert, provides valuable guidance on navigating depression and offers practical steps for those struggling with it.Common Myths About Depression:Depression is "just" depressionReality: Depression is often intertwined with underlying issues like anxiety or trauma. It's rarely a simple, isolated condition.Depression is simply a chemical imbalance in the brainReality: While chemicals play a role, the brain's complexity means that treatment must also address brain circuitry, not just chemical levels.Medication is the only or permanent solutionReality: Medication is a tool, like a cast for a broken bone, designed to support healing. The goal is to eventually reduce or stop medication with proper treatment and care.You must "fix yourself" before seeking supportReality: Healing is a shared process. Support from friends, family, or professionals is essential. You don't need to face depression alone.You should be able to quickly overcome depressionReality: Healing takes time. Small, consistent steps are far more effective than expecting instant results or a quick fix.Key Steps to Take When Experiencing Depression:Reach Out for SupportDon't try to handle depression alone. Build a support system with friends, family, or a trusted community. Seek help from a therapist or counselor.Practice Self-CompassionBe gentle with yourself. Avoid self-criticism and “should” statements. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would a close friend.Take Small, Manageable Action StepsFocus on progress, not perfection. Take things one small step at a time. Simple actions like calling a friend, going for a short walk, or completing a small task can be transformative.Key Principles to Keep in Mind:Progress is better than perfectionForward is forward, no matter the paceIt's okay to slow down, but don't stop completelyHealing isn't linear – embrace the journeyAdditional Advice:Medication is a temporary support for the healing process, not a permanent solution.Incorporate a multi-faceted approach: therapy, self-care, and medication (if appropriate).Be patient with yourself – healing takes time, and it's okay to move at your own pace.The Most Important Message: You are not alone. Small steps lead to significant progress. Don't give up – take action, seek support, and embrace the healing process.If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, this episode offers a compassionate, realistic roadmap to recovery. Tune in and take your first steps toward healing today.

www.run4prs.com Segment 1: Understanding the Half MarathonFirst, let's talk about what a half marathon is. A half marathon is a race that covers 13.1 miles, which is roughly 21 kilometers. It's a great distance for those who want a challenge but aren't quite ready for the full 26.2 miles of a marathon.Training for this distance comes with numerous benefits – not just for your physical health but also for your mental well-being. Many find that the training process teaches discipline and can be a great way to set a personal challenge!Segment 2: Setting GoalsNext, let's discuss the importance of setting goals. It's crucial to have clear, achievable targets as you begin training. Maybe your goal is to simply finish your first half marathon, or perhaps you're looking to beat your previous time. Whatever your objective, make sure it's specific and realistic.Think about what motivates you and how you want to feel on race day!Segment 3: Training PlansNow, let's move on to training plans. There are many different plans available, so it's essential to find one that fits your current fitness level.A typical training plan often spans 10 to 16 weeks and includes: Long runs: These are key for building endurance. Speed workouts: Intervals or tempo runs can improve your pace. Cross-training: Activities like cycling or swimming can help with overall fitness without the impact on your joints. Rest days: Don't underestimate these! They help your body recover.For beginners, I recommend looking for plans from reputable sources like the Runkeeper app or Hal Higdon's website.Segment 4: Nutrition and HydrationTraining for a half marathon isn't just about running; nutrition plays a critical role too. Fueling your body properly can make a significant difference in your performance.Focus on a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats. And don't forget hydration! Aim to drink water consistently throughout the day and especially before, during, and after your long runs.Segment 5: The Importance of Rest and RecoverySpeaking of recovery, it's crucial to understand the importance of rest days. Your muscles need time to heal and grow stronger after those intense training sessions. Incorporate active recovery like gentle yoga or light walking to keep your body moving without added strain.Listen to your body. If you're feeling overly fatigued or notice persistent aches, take a break or modify your schedule.Segment 6: Race Day PreparationAs race day approaches, preparation is key. In the days leading up to the race, focus on getting adequate sleep and sticking to familiar foods. On the morning of the race, have a light breakfast and ensure you've planned your route to the race location to avoid any last-minute stress.Before you start, take a moment to visualize crossing the finish line and achieving your goal!Segment 7: Common Mistakes to AvoidFinally, let's cover some common mistakes to avoid. One major pitfall is overtraining, which can lead to injuries. Make sure to listen to your body and don't push through pain or excessive fatigue.Also, pay attention to nutrition and hydration; neglecting these can impact your performance on the big day. Lastly, don't skip rest days! They're just as important as the training itself.

If there is a way to enhance movement for aging better - whether we're already exercising or we're in need of getting started - we're in!  If you've ever said or felt, “every time I start to exercise I get hurt,” this is for you. This episode will also hit you right where you love to exercise.  We know exercise has a major impact on the brain. It's a dose of clarity, problem solving, creativity. There's no lack of science to prove the mind-body-and spirit can no longer be separated. They're an integrated part of all components of wellness. Feeling a little stiff? You may feel better by the end. Know the smart movement for aging better!   My Guest: Lara Heimann is an internationally recognized yoga pioneer, Physical Therapist, and founder of the revolutionary LYT Method®—an evidence-based approach to movement that combines the principles of yoga, physical therapy, and functional movement. Lara's passion lies in empowering people of all ages to move better, live pain-free, and optimize their physical and mental well-being.

She holds a BA in Biological Anthropology and Anatomy and an MS in Physical Therapy from Duke University, along with a Neurodevelopmental Training Certification through Stanford University.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:28:13] Why is moving well so important for aging?  [00:30:28] What are common misconceptions people have about aging and exercise?  [00:18:44] [00:31:10] What role does neuroplasticity play in aging?  [00:21:28] How can people optimize longevity and vitality?   Neuroplasticity & Movement Neuroplasticity is your brain's ability to grow and change Movement “rewires” the brain - you grow your brain from movement. Use developmental movement patterns to re-educate the nervous system. Your brain craves novelty.   Your Guide to Movement for Aging Better The Myth of ‘Aging = Body Decline' Move more with age, not less. Joint mobility and strength are important as we age. Incorporate movement into daily routines (e.g. cleaning your house, climbing stairs). If you look at people who live long and live well, the one common thing is they're active and stay active. If you're in the middle part of your life and you haven't been active, it's never too late.   Pain & Movement Inefficient movement creates and sustains pain. Move in a smarter way but don't stop moving.    Key Takeaways Movement rewires the brain. It's not just about fitness—movement helps with cognition, mood, and longevity. Neuroplasticity isn't age-limited. You can retrain your brain and body at any age. Already active? You can get even better. Advanced movers have more potential for growth when incorporating neuro-focused training. Repetition isn't always progress. Novelty challenges your brain and creates stronger, smarter movement patterns. Pain is information, not a stop sign. Pain (not injuries) often lingers due to patterns. New movement can break that cycle. Aging isn't a reason to scale back, but a cue to level up.   Connect with Lara: Try LYT Yoga: A physical therapy yoga to promote functional movement Link: https://flippingfifty.com/lytyoga Code: Movebetter What's in it for you?

In this conversation, Brendan Housler and Owen Cole discuss various aspects of competitive cycling, focusing on training strategies, race preparation, and the importance of general fitness. Owen shares insights from his recent race experience, emphasizing the need for adaptability in training and racing tactics. The discussion also highlights the significance of endurance training and the balance between intensity and recovery in a cyclist's regimen.Even if you aren't racing at Owen's level, we highlighted some simple aspects of his training that you can apply to your own!Here are some of his simple gems:Focus on general fitness rather than overly specific training. Owen emphasizes that "being generally fit is more important than anything" because race situations can be unpredictable.Ride at the bottom of zone 2 for endurance training. Owen advises keeping endurance rides at "the very bottom of zone 2" to avoid excessive fatigue.Incorporate time on your time trial bike before doing intervals on it. Owen suggests doing "an endurance ride or an easy ride on it the day before" intense sessions.Don't fixate on power numbers during races. Owen says "power numbers don't win races" and can mess with you mentally if you're off your normal values.Balance training stress with life stress. Owen tracks exam dates in his training calendar to manage overall stress load.Don't overcomplicate things. As Owen puts it: "There's nothing crazy to it."Manage recovery time well, especially during tapers before big races.Remember that non-training factors are crucial: "There's no point in pushing the training to the limit if you're not going to do these other things" like sleep, stretching, and proper nutrition.Include variety in your workouts and "don't do the same workout too many times."Train all your energy systems to be prepared for any race scenario.Thanks, Owen!
