In this episode, Chris recaps his recent La Jolla staycation—where he went, what he did, and what surprised him most. We also dive into some of our favorite local getaways, including the Omni in La Costa, Lakehouse in San Marcos, Palm Desert adventures, and a couple cool glamping options like Hipcamp and beyond. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or just want to explore more of SoCal, we've got a bunch of ideas packed into this one.

Welcome back to Nursing Homes Tomorrow, where we explore real experiences from vibrant retirement communities across the country. Today, we're taking you inside The Manor on Bankers Hill, a charming independent senior living community nestled right in the heart of San Diego. Let's take a walk through a day in the life at The Manor.The Manor is designed for active seniors who want to live independently but within a warm and social environment. Located in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood, residents love how close they are to Balboa Park. One resident even shares how she walks to her volunteer job at the Museum of Natural History — and then on to her bridge club afterward!Safety and peace of mind are top priorities here. For those with health concerns, like one resident with a heart condition, the 24/7 emergency call system offers a great sense of security — allowing residents to live independently with confidence.And when it comes to food, well… it doesn't disappoint. Residents enjoy plentiful, tasty meals — and there's even a cozy pub on-site that's become a favorite spot for dining and gathering.Another standout feature? The library. It's a favorite hangout for many, with an impressive selection of new books always being added. If a resident wants something specific — even a niche title about royalty — the staff is happy to order it.Life at The Manor also includes weekly trips to grocery stores like Ralphs and Trader Joe's, along with organized sightseeing outings to beautiful places like La Jolla and Coronado. Everything is thoughtfully arranged and easy to enjoy.But what really sets The Manor apart is its staff. They're kind, attentive, and go out of their way to know residents' names, preferences, and even those little quirks — like how someone takes their coffee or what their favorite dessert is.Despite being surrounded by million-dollar high-rises, The Manor offers a truly affordable option. And perhaps most importantly, it doesn't feel like a business — it feels like a mission. As one resident put it: “You can tell it's not for profit. It's here to help people who need a home.”This particular resident, who has been widowed twice, found not just a place to live, but a place to belong — a community that brings comfort, friendship, and joy in everyday living. So if you're looking for a place that feels like home — with good meals, great company, and genuine care — The Manor on Bankers Hill might just be the little piece of heaven you're searching for.For more information visit:St. Paul's Senior Services: https://www.stpaulseniors.orgSt. Paul's PACE: https://www.stpaulspace.org/

"If you can think your way into an illness, can you think your way out? The answer is yes." - Dr. Ran Anbar Dr. Ran Anbar is a renowned board-certified pediatric pulmonologist and general pediatrician who specializes in hypnosis and counseling. He operates out of Centerpoint Medicine in La Jolla, California, and Syracuse, New York. As a past president, fellow, and approved consultant of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, Dr. Anbar has authoritatively contributed to the field with his acclaimed books, which explore hypnosis as a transformative healthcare practice, particularly for children and teens. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of "Oh, My Health… There's Hope!", host Jana Short sits down with Dr. Ran Anbar, an esteemed expert in pediatric pulmonology and the therapeutic use of hypnosis. Dr. Anbar shares his intriguing journey into hypnosis, sparked by a compelling case 27 years ago, and how it has evolved into a significant aspect of his practice today. He highlights the potential of imagination in children's healthcare and its pivotal role in treating various chronic conditions and emotional disorders. Throughout the podcast, Dr. Anbar delves into the profound impact of hypnosis on treating children's ailments, such as allergies, autoimmune diseases, and anxiety. Emphasizing the mind-body connection, he elaborates on how children can leverage their imagination and mental focus to alleviate symptoms. This episode provides insightful discussions on overcoming biases towards hypnosis and integrating it as a safe and beneficial mode of therapy for emotional regulation. It concludes with valuable parenting tips about supporting children's independence and the importance of effective communication. Key Takeaways: Hypnosis is a powerful tool that utilizes imagination to manage and improve health conditions, including asthma and anxiety, especially in children. The mind-body connection is crucial in addressing chronic illnesses, where emotional regulation becomes a key component of healing. Encouraging teens to make their own decisions reinforces independence and supports their path to becoming well-adjusted adults. Parents should transition from enforcing to supporting roles, fostering an environment where children feel empowered to manage their challenges.

Chad Jackson shares his experience of spontaneously deciding to do the 12-Hour Walk, which inspired personal growth and transformation in his life. He also discusses his musical journey, including his 30-year career as a musician in Seattle and his new band, Sweetener. Chad's personal journey of transformation, which began with a physical challenge and led to mental and emotional growth, has positively impacted his team and family, and he hopes to continue this transformation in the future. Chad decided to do the 12-hour walk while attending an event in La Jolla. He was inspired by a book mentioned during a pre-event call and decided to do the walk a day earlier than planned due to weather concerns. Chad describes starting his walk at 5:30 AM, unplugged and without a specific plan, following the coast northward. He experienced a second wind and a sense of strength he hadn't felt in years, which was emotionally powerful for him. Chad ended up walking 27 miles from La Jolla to Oceanside, overcoming physical challenges and enjoying the experience of being alone with his thoughts.   Building Bigger Lives Podcast- https://www.instagram.com/buildingbiggerlives Contact Coach Michael Regan- www.facebook.com/CoachMichaelRegan www.instagram.com/coachmichaelregan/ www.linkedin.com/in/mregan/ Contact Kathryn Pedersen- http://www.instagram.com/steamboatmortgage

Born in 1950 in San Diego, California, Jeff Divine is one of surfing's preeminent photographers and photo editors. Divine began photographing anything and everything around his hometown of La Jolla, California, as a teenager. Surfer magazine first published his photos in 1968, and by the early 1970s his work was all over the surf sphere. He shot everything—water and action, portraiture, lifestyle, landscapes, travel. He was the photo editor for Surfer from 1981 to 1998, then occupied the same position at The Surfer's Journal until 2016. He's published several books, among them Masters of Surf Photography: Jeff Divine, Surfing Photographs From the Seventies Taken by Jeff Divine, and Surfing Photographs From the Eighties Taken by Jeff Divine. His work has been featured in many gallery and museum exhibitions. In this episode of Soundings, Divine talks with Jamie Brisick swimming at Sunset Beach, the legacy of Ron Stoner, the beauty of the North Shore, art and artifact, Windansea, photographing Andy Irons, color palettes, the evolution of lens technology, and the transition from film to digital.

Diane Hennacy Powell, M.D. is the chief scientist involved in The Telepathy Tapes, a podcast about non-speaking autistic children who are extraordinarily telepathic. "In a world that often dismisses the extraordinary as mere fantasy, The Telepathy Tapes dares to explore the profound abilities of non-speakers with autism—individuals who have long been misunderstood and underestimated. These silent communicators possess gifts that defy conventional understanding, from telepathy to otherworldly perceptions, challenging the limits of what we believe to be real. For years, their parents and teachers have quietly witnessed these remarkable abilities, knowing that the time to share their truth would eventually come. But now, as the evidence mounts, the time has come to reveal what has been hidden in plain sight. This groundbreaking series challenges everything we think we know about communication and the human mind, inviting viewers to step into a reality where the impossible is not only possible but happening every day. Through emotional stories and undeniable evidence, The Telepathy Tapes offers a fresh perspective on the profound connections that exist beyond words. Traveling with neuroscientist Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, witnessing mind-boggling telepathy tests and forging deeply intimate relationships with families around the globe, host Ky Dickens invites you to contemplate the world through the eyes of those who speak without words. Prepare to be captivated, challenged, and ultimately transformed as the series shines a light on the untold capabilities of those who have been underestimated for far too long." Dr. Powell is a Johns Hopkins-trained psychiatrist, therapist, neuroscientist, and public speaker. She develops multidisciplinary theories towards understanding psychological anomalies, such as savant skills and verified accounts of spacetime navigation. Her current research focuses on controlled testing of autistic savants and children reported to be telepathic and/or precognitive by their caregivers. Dr. Powell has been on the faculty at Harvard Medical School, a member of a think tank on human consciousness at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, and Director of Research for the John E. Mack Institute. Her investigation into the neurocorrelates of ESP is discussed in her 2008 book The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena, and in Seriously Strange: Thinking Anew about Psychical Experiences. Dr. Powell is also an expert on PTSD and created the psychiatry program for Survivors of Torture, International in San Diego, California. She was the principal author of IONS The 2007 Shift Report: Evidence of a World Transforming and a contributing author to Beyond Forgiveness: Reflections on Atonement, the 2014 Campus Book of the Year at Indiana University. She is also a participant in the #NeverAlone movement for suicide prevention launched by Deepak Chopra.

Christopher Peterson has been passionate about cars for as long as he can remember—probably even longer. A La Jolla native, he grew up surrounded by classic and exotic automobiles, dreaming of one day becoming a race car driver. This passion eventually led to a career spanning over 25 years in the collector car world. Straight out of high school, Chris joined Symbolic Motor Car Company, one of the leading dealerships for classic, exotic and competition cars. Over the years, he worked his way up from the parts department to Director of Sales and Marketing, developing a deep expertise in post-war European sports and competition cars, along with a talent for uncovering rare and historically significant automobiles. Today, Chris serves as a consultant for Sotheby's Motorsport and chairs the Motor Car Classic at the La Jolla Concours d'Elegance. His time is spent sourcing exceptional cars, helping collectors navigate the auction world, and ensuring automotive history is properly appreciated— or at the very least, not left to collect dust in a forgotten garage. A fourth-generation San Diegan, Chris comes from a family with deep ties to the region's business and automotive culture. His grandfather, Robert O. Peterson, founded Jack in the Box and pioneered the modern drive-thru restaurant. When he's not hunting for automotive treasures, Chris enjoys cooking, sailing, and occasionally restoring cars that he swears he'll finish one day.

Are you struggling to guide your teen through the ups and downs of adolescence? Do you wish they could be more confident, resilient, and self-motivated in facing life's challenges? In this episode of Power Your Parenting – Moms with Teens, host Colleen O'Grady sits down with Dr. Ran Anbar, author of The Life Guide for Teens: Harnessing Your Inner Power to Be Healthy, Happy, and Confident. Dr. Anbar shares practical strategies to help teens take control of their emotions, shift their mindset, and build resilience. Through years of counseling thousands of adolescents, he's discovered that small changes—like the words teens use, their ability to visualize success, and how they manage fear—can lead to profound growth. He also discusses the impact of sleep, social media, and self-talk on teen well-being, offering parents tools to support their children in developing independence and emotional strength. Ran D. Anbar, MD, FAAP, is board certified in both pediatric pulmonology and general pediatrics. He offers counseling and hypnosis services at Center Point Medicine in La Jolla, California, and in Syracuse, New York. Dr. Anbar is the author of the acclaimed Changing Children's Lives with Hypnosis: A Journey to the Center (Rowman & Littlefield, 2021), as well as a regular columnist for Psychology Today Online. Dr. Anbar is the founder of Center Point Medicine, serving the mission of making mental health care more accessible for children. Here are three key takeaways from the conversation: First, the words we use—both as parents and teens—shape our reality. Encouraging positive language and shifting from “I can't” to “I will” can transform confidence and motivation. Second, learning to manage emotions and fears is a crucial skill. Rather than dismissing fears, parents can help their teens face them with imaginative solutions, empowering them to handle stress more effectively. Lastly, giving teens space to make mistakes is essential. Overparenting, whether through micromanaging or bulldozing obstacles, can hinder their ability to navigate life's challenges. Instead, parents should transition from being enforcers to supporters, allowing teens to develop problem-solving skills that will serve them well into adulthood.

We’ll reminisce a bit with a sort of special guest. The city of San Diego’s budget deficit has provoked some tense conversations. A City Council budget committee hearing last week had some great clips. And where are the kids? San Diego Unified School District is going to have to deal with another drop in enrollment.

Parking and RIP Donald Shoup Donald Shoup, distinguished professor emeritus whose decades of teaching and scholarship at UCLA greatly influenced the field of land-use planning as well as generations of scholars, students and urban planners, died Feb. 6, 2025, at age 86. Shoup was a titan in the fields of urban planning and specifically parking reform, and his landmark book, “The High Cost of Free Parking,” resulted in the adoption of many of his parking reform ideas in cities around the nation and world.

It's been five years since the first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 in the U.S., a bleak milestone in the early days of a pandemic that touched the lives of everyone. For the lucky ones, the virus mainly meant more precautions: mask-wearing, the occasional COVID test. But for others, a COVID-19 infection turned into long COVID. This is a chronic condition that lingers long after a COVID infection, and can reduce one's ability to live their day-to-day life.It's been estimated that about 400 million people worldwide have had long COVID. Some researchers say that number is much higher. But there's a lack of research on successful treatments for long COVID.Some patients living with the condition have taken things into their own hands. A recent investigation documented the experiences of 13 long COVID patients who tried taking Paxlovid for longer than the typical 5-day course. The patients had mixed results, adding to a growing body of evidence that there will not be one silver bullet for treating the condition.Joining Ira to talk about the results are two authors of the study, who have both had long COVID for years: Dr. Alison Cohen, assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California San Francisco, and Dr. Julia Moore Vogel, senior program director at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
