In this episode, Liv Hill discusses the misconceptions surrounding scale weight and fat loss, emphasizing that the scale does not tell the whole story of one's health journey. She provides insights on how to measure real progress through body measurements, clothing fit, and performance improvements rather than solely relying on the scale. Liv also highlights the importance of mindset in achieving sustainable fat loss and offers practical tips for tracking progress effectively. The conversation encourages listeners to celebrate small wins and focus on the journey of transformation rather than fixating on numbers.

I've long believed the unexpected should be what we expect. Even with the best plans, things can shift, sometimes without warning. Last year, I shut the podcast down, not long after promising The Sex Talk 2.0.  Truthfully, I was very excited to bring that to you. Although nervous. Early in my career, I had made a promise with God that I would follow him into this territory, to which I never felt ready, as long as I never had to talk about sex. Obviously, God had different plans.  I never imagined the first series would be such a hit, and as I was preparing for the second version, I started to question things. I didn't question whether the series was valid, but whether I had the knowledge and experience to bring it to life.  The answer was no. At least not at the time. After recording a few podcasts for that series, I decided it wasn't the time. I needed space and my own experience before I could bring that to the world. I had things I needed to sort out on my own. So I shut down the podcast. In fact, I shut down a lot of things, never with the intent to quit, but with the intent to grow.  The rebrand I didn't know I needed! Last year was a whirlwind in the best possible way. I really grew up, and that growth led me to redefine my health and re-establish my story.  In this podcast, I share my journey, what I learned, and where I'm going. I've never been healthier. Yet at the same time, I've never been more confident that I'm not here to bring more knowledge but to inspire lived action. In this series, you'll hear a lot about my story and experience, offering you insight into approaching health differently. Join me as we relaunch the podcast in this new season, uncovering common health illusions. Join us "After The Show." After the show, I invited my husband on to share the real and very vulnerable question we tried to answer for The Sex Talk 2.0 that ultimately led to our break. We also talk about how that became the heart of this new series and updated message here at The Living Well!

Former Lifeworks CEO Stephen Liptrap joins Mark Henick to talk about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, host Liv Hill discusses the concept of reset meals, emphasizing the importance of listening to our body's signals rather than adhering strictly to meal plans. She explains how skipping meals can lead to emotional and physical chaos, and introduces the idea of a reset meal as a way to stabilize hormones and regain control. Liv shares her formula for a balanced reset meal and encourages listeners to create their own simple, repeatable meals to help them get back on track after disruptions in their eating patterns.

I met Mark Hedderman at the FAAA Congress in Perth, and it didn't take long to realise we were aligned. Beyond the Irish accent, Mark brings a deeply human view of financial advice – one shaped by family, his own experience, and a belief that money is the vehicle, not the destination. In this week's episode of It's Never About Money, we explore why financial advice needs to move beyond numbers and net worth, and towards wellbeing, health, purpose and connection. Mark shares how his family's story – including his father's cancer diagnosis just months into retirement – reshaped how he thinks about success and legacy. We talk about reimagining retirement as a time for unrealised dreams, not an end point, and how advisers can help improve health and life outcomes by asking better questions. Mark also explains how his firm is redesigning its advice model – reducing the focus on money and building in preventative health, social connection and family-wide conversations.  We finish with a powerful reminder of what great advice really looks like: someone who cares about you first, the money second – and who helps you live well, not just retire wealthy. Because in the end, it's never just about money.   FIND OUT MORE: https://hedderman.ie/   ABOUT IT'S NEVER ABOUT MONEY:   Joe Stephan is a Financial Planner with Stephan Independent Advisory, based in Melbourne, Australia: https://siadvisory.com.au/    It's Never About Money is powered by Stephan Independent Advisory: https://itsneveraboutmoney.com.au It's Never About Money is a proud supporter of Cufa: https://www.cufa.org.au/

Your 30s can feel like a decade full of tension. The tension between freedom and responsibility, living fully now and preparing wisely for the future, wanting clarity without becoming rigid. In this episode of Space for Life, Joe joins Tommy for an honest conversation about what it really means to live well in your 30s with freedom and intention.Rather than offering formulas or life hacks, this conversation explores the deeper internal work of defining what truly matters. Joe and Tommy talk through why so many decisions feel exhausting, how guiding principles and guardrails can simplify life's gray areas, and why postponing life often trains us to keep postponing it. They close by reflecting on how habits, more than any single decision, quietly shape the direction of our lives.

Last week, we talked about the six key drivers of personal health with Dr. Tom Frieden. But how does that factor into our conversation about the value (or not) of wearables and supplements? This week, Dr. Zeev Neuwirth and Producer, Jess Greenwood, are back to unpack that for you. We discuss the role wearables do and potentially could play in helping each one of us achieve and maintain better health. We talk about how important it is to understand that the six drivers of personal health may be simple, but they're not necessarily easy and why that means individuals are not to blame.  Most importantly, we offer an invitation. To those who are creating, supporting, or changing their own environments to support better health for themselves or their community. We want to hear from you! Please get in touch so we can share your story on the podcast.

How do you find hope when a doctor gives you 8 years to live? This moving episode proves that Living Well with Dementia is about more than just a diagnosis; it's about choosing a new way to thrive. Our guest was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's at 50, but a decade later, he is rewriting the narrative through cycling and advocacy. Living Well with Dementia requires a shift in perspective. Consequently, we explore the "Jim Berry method"—a strategy that allowed Peter's father to live with the condition for 25 years by staying engaged in the family business. Furthermore, this conversation provides caregivers with practical "hacks," such as using digital clocks and open toolboxes to maintain independence. Ultimately, the secret to Living Well with Dementia lies in making moments, not memories. Specifically, learn why you should stop "testing" a loved one's memory and start entering their world instead. If you want to move from fear to action, this episode is for you. Discover how to unmask the person behind the diagnosis and find joy in the "different" life that follows. 0:00 – Intro: Challenging the 8-year Alzheimer's prognosis. 01:45 – Catching up with Peter and Deb: Life as an advocate and author. 04:12 – The early signs: Recognizing young-onset symptoms at age 50. 07:30 – “The Compass”: How cycling became Peter's greatest therapy. 09:45 – The science of lifestyle: Why exercise is non-negotiable for brain health. 11:15 – 25 years with Alzheimer's: The incredible story of Peter's father. 14:50 – Modifying the workplace: Creative ways to keep a loved one engaged. 17:30 – Dealing with the "Dementia Monster": Staying independent through small hacks. 21:10 – The "Gray Box" analogy: Seeing the person, not just the diagnosis. 24:45 – Slow Puncture vs. Patching the Puncture: Evolution of the books. 27:20 – Top Caregiver Advice: Why you should stop "testing" memory. 31:00 – Entering their world: How to adapt when reality shifts. 34:15 – Making moments, not memories: Living in the present. 37:50 – Closing thoughts: Why life is different, but not over. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Related Episodes: Navigating MCI - Not The End of The Road, Just A Bend in The Road Practical Strategies for Coping with Cognitive Changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sign Up for more Advice & Wisdom - email newsletter. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please help us keep our show going by supporting our sponsors.

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, host Liv Hill discusses the importance of food tracking as a foundational tool for intuitive eating. She emphasizes that tracking is not a permanent solution but a means to build awareness and understanding of one's body and nutritional needs. The conversation explores the relationship between health and fat loss, the benefits of tracking, and the distinction between triggers and discomfort in the context of food tracking. Liv encourages listeners to reframe their perspective on tracking as a valuable feedback mechanism rather than a restrictive practice.

Fiber isn't one-size-fits-all and for some people, more isn't better. In this episode, we explore why most people under-eat fiber, why certain fibers can worsen symptoms, and how to personalize intake in a way your body can actually tolerate. Dr. Heather Armstrong shares emerging insights on fiber function, microbiome capacity, and practical strategies for going low and slow. We also unpack new science explaining why fiber supports gut health in some individuals, while triggering issues in others with reduced fermentative activity. In this episode, we discuss: • The fiber gap, health risks, and minimum intake targets • How solubility, viscosity, and fermentability guide fiber choice • Matching fiber types to IBS, diarrhea, and constipation • Why whole foods matter more than isolates • Citrus peel pectin and simple kitchen hacks • Why “low and slow” dosing reduces gas and pain • How long microbiome changes and symptom relief actually take • When fiber supplements help (and when they don't) • Individualized fiber needs in IBD (and implications for IBS, MS, and liver disease) • Why dietitians are essential for precision nutritionThis episode is especially relevant if you've been told to “just eat more fiber”—and it didn't go well.Learn more about Dr. Heather Armstrong's novel research:Gut feeling: new test and precision diet could boost health for people with IBD.

As a society, and as an industrial complex, we've made health complicated…and expensive. But, epidemiology suggests that what we need to do to achieve and maintain personal health is really quite simple. Dr. Tom Frieden returns to the show to talk about the second half of his book, The Formula for Your Health. Through extensive research and review of hundreds of epidemiological studies, he distills the findings down to six basic things we need to be doing in order to be healthy. Dr. Frieden acknowledges that there is nuance, but he also affirms that history is clear. There are other societies in the world that were and are far healthier than the US population, and NOT because they had wearables, packaged food, home massagers, or Pelotons.  Dr. Frieden is author of the book, The Formula for Better Health: How to Save Millions of Lives—Including Your Own. He is also the founder and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, a global health organization that accelerates action against the world’s deadliest health threats. Resolve to Save Lives has worked with governments and other partners in more than 60 countries to save millions of lives. Dr. Frieden previously served as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and New York City Health Commissioner, where he led efforts that increased life expectancy by 3 years and helped end major health crises including the largest US outbreak of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, the 2014 West Africa Ebola epidemic, and responses to H1N1, Zika, and other threats.

Adult ADHD is often misunderstood as a motivation problem or a lack of effort. In this episode, psychologist and researcher Dr. Laura Knouse joins Psyched to Practice to explain why that framing misses the mark—and how cognitive behavioral therapy can actually work for adults with ADHD when it's done right.We explore how ADHD shows up as a self-regulation challenge, why behavior change often has to come before thought work, and how everyday environments quietly sabotage or support follow-through. Laura breaks down why traditional CBT models often fall short, how medication and skills can work together, and what clinicians need to know about perfectionism, avoidance, and “overly positive” thinking in this population.This conversation is packed with practical, clinician-ready insights for working with adults and emerging adults with ADHD, including how to structure treatment, build momentum through small wins, and help clients stop blaming themselves for systems that were never designed for their brains.Brightminds AdPAR Ad To hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com Please follow the link below to access all of our hosting sites. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007098/share “Be well, and stay psyched" #mentalhealth #podcast #psychology #psychedtopractice #counseling #socialwork #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalPractice #mentalhealth #podcast

Description:What if the most faithful thing we could do right now is simply pay attention? In this episode of For the Love, Jen and Amy sit down with theologian, ethics professor, and artist Lee C. Camp for a soulful conversation about the kind of faith that wakes us up to what truly matters. As part of our Wake Up Call series on faith, Lee invites us to slow down and notice the world—our lives, our neighbors, and the beauty that keeps trying to reach us. Together, they explore why paying attention is not a luxury but a spiritual practice—and how our obsession with productivity, planning, and certainty can cause us to miss the most beautiful and formative parts of our lives. Lee reflects on what it means to know ourselves as deeply beloved by God, not because of what we produce but because love is the starting point of a life well lived. This conversation traces the threads of human flourishing and imagination, and asks why beauty—found in art, nature, poetry, and story—often teaches us more about God than arguments ever could. As he often does on his own No Small Endeavor podcast, Lee challenges us to consider what Christians are being called to wake up to in this season: a renewed attention to community, to creation, and to a church that is something we practice together, not merely something we attend. If you're longing for a faith that feels grounded, spacious, and alive—one that helps you live a good life in the world you actually inhabit—this episode is a gentle, necessary wake-up call. Thought-provoking Quotes: “What Christianity most needs right now is to rediscover the basics of the beautiful story which we claim to believe.” – Lee C. Camp The model of the cross means that if we take up our cross and follow Christ, that we can expect difficulty because so much of human history doesn't want that kind of way. Religious powers don't want that. Imperialist powers don't want that. And so we can trust that we're going to have our own kind of crosses to bear along the way. And yet that life has triumphed over death. That love has triumphed over hatred. that beauty and truth and goodness has triumphed over hostility and ugliness and meanness. And so that's the big story.” – Lee C. Camp I deeply understand why a lot of people just can't believe all this [religious] stuff. But for me, it, the story at its best. is so beautiful that I don't know why everybody doesn't want to believe it, even if they can't believe it. It's this place  we embody this narrative, embody this beauty, embody this brokenness in which we try to find tangible ways to do life together.” – Lee C.

In today's episode, I want to take you with me to Japan. I went during a time of sadness, to be with family, and what I received there were lessons I didn't even know I needed. This conversation is about seven quiet teachings Japan offers us as we move into 2026. We talk about why January doesn't need reinvention, why acceptance is one of the most powerful tools we have, and how small, cumulative practices can support real wellness. We explore wabi sabi, the wisdom of elders, ancient traditions, nervous system care, and what it truly means to go inward without disappearing. If you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, or pressured to have it all figured out, this episode is for you. My hope is that you listen slowly, take what resonates, and leave the rest. Thank you for being here with me. Let's begin x Candice

Ric Elias - The Art of Living Well - [Invest Like The Best, CLASSICS] Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. Ric Elias is the CEO and co-founder of Red Ventures, which has a portfolio of fast-growing digital businesses like Lonely Planet, The Points Guy, Bankrate, and large investments in a variety of other businesses across industries. He began the business in 2000 and has grown it to now a global company with thousands of employees. Ric walks us through the early struggles that have led to what is now a flourishing investing platform, but mostly this episode is a masterclass on cultural values and philosophies that transcend mere financial gain. We discuss the difference between living good and well, the power of forgiveness, and compounding more than just your capital. Ric's story is one of resilience, humility, and grace. His story about being in the front row of the plane that Captain Sully landed in the Hudson is singular and very moving. Please enjoy my conversation with Ric Elias.
