Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists.
Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists, dishes on men's urinary problems, natural support for testosterone, and prostate cancer. Lifestyle factors—diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction—play an important role in all phases of urological health. Dr. Geo explains how he interacts with conventional urologists on the faculty of NYU Langone Medical Center where he practices. Why are men's urinary problems not just a matter of prostate size? How can natural strategies alleviate urinary difficulties without the need for surgery or drugs? Besides saw palmetto, what nutraceuticals can benefit men with urinary problems? Are there really natural herbal alternatives to testosterone? For men with prostate cancer who are under active surveillance, is there anything more that can be done to minimize their chance of eventually needing surgery or radiation? What nutraceuticals, vitamins and minerals have anti-prostate cancer potential?

What if the answer to modern chaos isn't another biohack, supplement, or fitness trend? What if it's simply showing up consistently and doing the unglamorous work of discipline?Charles and Heidi Hatley have built their lives around this counterintuitive wisdom. As the voices behind the Kava and Kettlebells podcast, they're redefining healthy living through authenticity rather than algorithms. In this riveting conversation, we explore why consistency trumps complexity every time – whether in fitness, parenting, or personal growth.The Hatleys pull no punches discussing why most "influencers" offer empty promises while lacking results themselves. We dive into their 4 AM training routines, not because they love early mornings, but because they've built the mental fortitude to do what matters regardless of feeling. As Heidi powerfully states, "People think they want the body or the scale number. That's not what you want. You want the process and the lifestyle that comes with it."Their journey extends beyond the gym. We explore their decision to replace alcohol with kava, a botanical alternative providing relaxation without destructive side effects. This choice wasn't about addiction but alignment – creating a lifestyle where they could be fully present for their children while modeling healthy choices.Perhaps most compelling is their approach to education. Rather than merely complaining about the school system, they homeschool their children. This exemplifies their life philosophy: don't just identify problems—implement solutions. As they point out, our education system hasn't fundamentally changed since the 1880s, teaching compliance rather than crucial life skills.If you're tired of chasing the latest trend only to find yourself back where you started, this conversation offers a refreshing alternative: build discipline, embrace consistency, find meaning in service rather than significance, and measure success not by followers but by lives changed.Join the What if it Did Work movement on FacebookGet the Book!www.omarmedrano.comwww.calendly.com/omarmedrano/15min
Hello Poison Friends! We have been covering this topic of “wellness” and the industry surrounding the term. We all want to be well, and obviously, there are some great practices out there to help us out with that, but there are also a lot of scams and misinformation out there as well. This week we are covering the story of Belle Gibson, a wellness influencer who told her followers that she had brain cancer and only had six months to live, but beat the odds using natural means and by changing her diet and lifestyle. Specifically, she promoted recipes that she would later sell in her app and cookbook (supported by Apple and Penguin Books). Belle, however, never had cancer, and while she had promised that the proceeds of her app sells would go towards various charities, she lied about that as well. She influenced many of those who did actually have cancer or chronic illness to stop conventional medicine practices such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, medications, etc. She continued her lies for years, selling her brand and giving inconsistent medical reports along the way. It all came crumbling down with a couple of investigative journalists who received a tip that Belle might not be so sick after all. We also have to talk about Goop. Gwenyth Paltrow's brand has always been pretty controversial for most of us, but she has made a lot of money and gained a following with it. As such, we need to discuss such products and practices promoted and provided by Goop as jade eggs, amethyst bottles, and expensive stickers or yoga mats that are supposed to help a variety of issues you may deal with. She has been in legal trouble for some of her claims, but you can still find a lot of these products on her website. Just a heads up: We may mention some products with descriptions not suitable for children to hear about while discussing Goop. Nothing descriptive, mind you, or graphic, just correct anatomical terminology. A final topic for discussion this week is that of the concerning beverage being sold at convenience stores or markets called Feel Free. This product, created and sold by Botanic Tonics, has led to a lot of concern with parents and doctors, because of what is in it. One ingredient we will discuss is Kava root extract, which is not necessarily toxic in low amounts (though extracts may have some hepatotoxic effects). It is another ingredient that has been causing problems: Kratom. This ingredient is known to produce opioid-like effects (and has been considered an opioid by the FDA since 2018) and is both physiologically and psychologically addictive, causing a lot of destruction in the lives of consumers, especially those who have suffered addiction before. Let's dig into the details and have some fun learning. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

This episode features poet, author, and intellectual Moana ‘Ulu‘ave-Hafoka. The catalyst for this discussion was a recently released YouTube video by former Mormon author and YouTuber Alyssa Grenfell, titled Tonga is 60% Mormon??????, which has currently been viewed more than 200k times since being posted. This video references one of Moana's articles, so as nerds of Tonga, Indigeneity, and Mormonism, we wanted to add further complexity to some of what was shared on that platform. We discuss nuance, blurred boundaries, historical and cultural context, as well as Mormon specificity, and even larger structures and systems of power. We shift mid-way through this episode to engage with Ryan Coogler's film Sinners (spoilers). We discuss a variety of symbols in the film, including, the global impact of Black (African-American) culture, race, global Indigeneity, diaspora, spirituality, religion, sacred time-space, and more.

If you're a creative, performer or just someone trying to balance passion with mental health in a high-pressure world, this episode with Keldamuzik Diva is one you don't want to miss.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/keldamuzik-divaIn this Mental Health Monday episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, MommaFoxFire sits down with Keldamuzik Diva, a powerhouse hip hop artist, actress, producer and entrepreneur from the Bay Area. The two cover what it's really like to chase creativity and success in the entertainment industry while navigating anxiety, burnout and the business side of things.Keldamuzik shares how her journey started when she was just five years old, doing auditions and headshots during the heyday of shows like Full House. Over the years, her career evolved from modeling and acting to rapping, launching a beret fashion line and producing her own content - all while staying independent and true to herself. She talks openly about what it's like to carry multiple creative projects and how ADHD plays a role in her work patterns. Her therapist once told her she had “an addiction to creating too many projects,” which she admits was eye-opening.Mental health challenges are a huge part of the discussion. Keldamuzik gets real about dealing with anxiety, especially in an industry that can be both high-pressure and unpredictable. She opens up about how the pressure to succeed, the constant hustle, and dealing with gatekeepers can take a toll. Her coping tools? Kava tea, breathing exercises, working out and cooking. Therapy has played a big role too, especially in helping her slow down and manage her energy.A key part of the conversation focuses on the contrast between fame and reality. Keldamuzik breaks down the misconception that getting signed to a label equals instant success. For her, staying independent means having creative freedom, owning her work and avoiding the toxic “puppet master” dynamic some artists face. She emphasizes the importance of artists doing the work for their fans, not just the algorithms. When she's felt like quitting, it's been those fan interactions - someone reciting her lyrics on the street, messages saying her work mattered - that have kept her going.The two also talk about imposter syndrome, burnout and how important it is to stay grounded. Keldamuzik reflects on her experiences with performing, building her brand around strength and independence and rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a “diva.” For her, being a diva is about being assertive, not fake or flashy. It's about claiming space unapologetically.Toward the end, Keldamuzik touches on her philanthropic work with her beret line, which supports people with hair loss, and shares her hopes for an entertainment industry that better supports artists' mental health. She calls out the need for real support - emotionally, financially and mentally - not just applause.This conversation is packed with honesty, humor and heart. If you've ever chased a dream, felt the weight of expectations, or wondered if you're good enough, this one's for you.
