Why HRV Tracking is the Missing Link in Your Fitness JourneyFor years, I tracked all the traditional metrics—calories, steps, macros—thinking that was the key to getting real results. But over time, I realized something wasn't adding up.Women were doing everything right—eating clean, working out hard, following the rules—yet still feeling stuck, inflamed, exhausted, and frustrated.That's when I discovered HRV (Heart Rate Variability) tracking, and everything changed.In this episode, I break down why monitoring HRV is more important than tracking calories or steps, and why this one metric can tell you more about your metabolism, stress levels, and fat loss potential than any diet ever will.I share real testimonials from women inside Hotmomz Lifestyle AI, who have seen instant shifts in energy, inflammation, and fat loss—not from dieting harder, but from tracking what actually matters.HRV is the real-time window into how well your body is recovering, handling stress, and burning fat. And when you learn how to regulate it, everything changes.Inside this episode, I'll show you how Hotmomz Lifestyle AI is designed to boost HRV in real time, allowing your body to finally work for you, not against you.If you've been stuck in the cycle of trying harder and getting nowhere, it's time to shift your approach and start tracking what actually moves the needle.Let's dive in.Support the show

Tuesday, January 21 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug recounts his weekend spent with his adult children in Los Angeles and questions the effects the air quality will have on the health of the community. Then, the conversation shifts to the banning of Red Dye #3, a neurological study shows eating greater amounts of red meat (especially processed meats) increases a greater risk of cognitive decline and dementia, and a new warning from the FDA requesting that nicotine levels in cigarettes be lowered to a nonaddictive level. Doug and Dr. Ken also discuss the FDA wanting a new package food label system putting nutrition information on the front of products instead of the back, and the best time of day to consume coffee for health benefits (it's in the morning anytime between 4 AM - 11:59 AM) — all day coffee drinkers had no added benefit, as did non-coffee drinkers. Lastly, how to prepare for Winter's coldest blasts of air and the best ways to keep your body heat from escaping if you have to be out in it, what's happening with private practices and how doctors are getting paid from insurance agencies.Website: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Mette Mechlenborg, senior researcher at Aalborg University, is the co-author of a new study on life in Danish high-rise residential buildings—the first of its kind in over fifty years. This long gap is partly due to Denmark's historical reluctance to embrace high-rise living, especially for families. However, the landscape is shifting, with several tall towers now rising near Copenhagen's city center and more on the way. So, what has changed since the last study?  In this episode of Let's Talk Architecture, host Michael Booth meets Mette at Nordbro in Nørrebro, one of the buildings featured in her research. Together, they explore the qualities of high-rise living and ask the question: Can Danish families truly live happy and fulfilling lives 100 metres above the ground?  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by the Danish Architecture Center.

How can architecture transform the experience of healthcare for children? Can design elements like colors, materials, shapes, and daylight even help improve the young patients' lives?  Denmark is about to get its first purpose-built children's hospital, Børneriget, which is scheduled to open in 2026 in central Copenhagen. Børneriget aims to redefine pediatric healthcare with its unique "finger plan" layout, focusing on creating a welcoming and safe environment through thoughtful design. But how can these elements enhance patient well-being and improve the hospital experience?  In this episode of Let's Talk Architecture, host Michael Booth explores the design of Børneriget with lead architect, Stig Gothelf, senior partner at 3XN, and My Lunsjö, Associate and Behavioral Specialist at sister company GXN.  Together they dive into the research behind their design choices, discussing how aspects like color schemes and views of nature are intended to reduce stress and support healing.   Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by the Danish Architecture Center, with sound edits by Munck Studios.

When Sheila Cooperman's husband said he wanted a dog, she said that was fine and good, but it would be HIS responsibility. Then she met Tucker, the Boykin Spaniel, and transformed into a full-fledged Dog Mom. When Tucker died suddenly of lymphoma last year, Sheila, a teacher with decades of experience and a literacy expert, turned to writing to help herself cope. Her “Friday posts” on social media are turning into books. Sheila's message that “writing is for everyone; you don't have to be a writer” is a refreshing one and much-needed for those who are going through a tough time. In fact, Sheila has realized recently that her grieving for Tucker has helped her to resolve her grief over losing her own mother to the same disease fifty years ago.

Tasha McNerney is a Veterinary Technician Specialist in anesthesia, and she's sharing all the details on what your dog's veterinary care team does to keep your dog safe, the things that can go wrong while under anesthesia, and what you can do to prepare your dog beforehand. One of her best tips for dog lovers feeling anxious about an anesthetic event? Talk to your dog's veterinary team. Ask about what training and credentials your state requires for someone to do anesthesia, as well as how the staff monitor dogs while under anesthesia and during recovery. Vets and vet techs all understand that you love and are worried about your dog, and hearing the protocols in place can help to ease your mind.

Nosebleeds are often the first thing a dog lover notices when their dog has a nasal tumor, and this horrifying symptom can continue even after treatment is started. Caller Holly wants to know why nosebleeds occur – is it the growth of the tumor causing destruction, or the tumor itself bleeding? Veterinary oncologist Brooke Britton answers Holly's question, and also explains how nosebleeds can be addressed. Unfortunately, sticking some tissues up your dog's nose is NOT a good idea, and severe bleeds require a vet visit. But treating the cancer will help, and you might also be able to use the herbal supplement Yunnan baiyao.

There are very few signs that directly indicate your dog has cancer. Even a lump could be an infection or a benign growth. Many common early signs, such as lethargy, weight loss, vomiting, or increased drinking, can be caused by a variety of health problems. Veterinary oncologist David Vail recommends keeping up with regular veterinary exams and going in whenever your dog doesn't seem right. Your vet can do testing to narrow down the possible issues that could be causing your dog's symptoms, and track the size of any lumps so that you will both know if a lump starts to grow at an increased rate. Listen in for more signs that can indicate early cancer, as well as tips on how to decide if a test is worth running.

Researchers from Cornell University surveyed over 400 veterinarians, and 99% of them said they have experienced clients wanting to pursue futile care for their pets. So what is futile care, anyway? Futile care is continuing aggressive treatment when it is unlikely to benefit the patient. These scenarios can be difficult to identify and define, but can be distressing for veterinarians who are compelled to provide care that they feel is prolonging suffering in their patients. Listen in to learn more about the challenges of balancing the needs and emotions of dogs, their owners, and their veterinarians. And if you feel like you might have pursued futile care with one of your pets when hospice would have been more appropriate, don't be too hard on yourself: all of your decisions were made out of love.

Jenny's dog had some soft, squishy lumps that her vet said were simple lipomas, but after she kept pursuing the matter, turned out to be mast cell tumors. The good news is that true lipomas can't turn into mast cell tumors. So what happened with Jenny's poor pup? Veterinary oncologist Brooke Britton joins us again to discuss the similar appearance of fatty tumors and MCTs. And just because one lump on your dog is benign doesn't mean that every other lump will be. Mast cell tumors can imitate a variety of other lumps and bumps that you might find on your dog, so it is important to do at least a fine needle aspirate to check out any lumps that are new, growing, or painful.
