“Candela, which means ‘candle', is also a measurement of light. We want it to be that light in the sense of - How would this light guide us and what would this light mean to us? And how can we create this new path of development and learn throughout the process to be more sustainable, to design with respect, to integrate into nature, to learn how to respect what's already there and be inspired by what's already in place?” As we welcome in Earth Month, celebrating our planet and taking action to protect it, we're in good company with Rodrigo López Vazquez, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Candela, a new luxury residential and rental community development concept regenerating some of Mexico's most desirable destinations - starting with a nature escape in Tulum and a cultural city stay in Valladolid.  With distinctive architecture, sustainable initiatives, community integration, bespoke amenities, creative dining experiences, artisan boutiques and proprietary wellness offerings, Candela aspires to leave its guests and its surrounding townscapes better than they were before.  In this episode, Rodrigo shares how Candela pays homage to the local history, culture and landscape, honoring long-standing traditions unique to the location to cultivate an experience that is at once relevant to modern life and stands the test of time.  Top Takeaways [1:50] How an upbringing and entrepreneurial career in Puebla - a gastronomically focused UNESCO World Heritage City - inspired Rodrigo and his friends to seek out other culturally significant cities, with a perspective of sustainable living and preservation of heritage. [7:40] In creating Candela, Rodrigo and his carefully curated team of architects and interior designers wanted guests to feel as though you are arriving to an archeological site - where nature and architecture blend together in a way that makes you unsure of what was there first.  [11:50] The meaning behind the name Candela, is integrated as far as the eye can see with beams of natural light, candles tucked throughout, and warm indirect light creating a space that is relaxing and restorative.  [16:30] The importance of using the same materials and building practices as the Mayans used in building the Pyramids and local villages - from the rock foundation to the Chukum stucco to the tropical wood.  [20:45] Experience a “true taste of Tulum” when dining in good company at Candela - from the Cochinita Pibil prepared by Cocineras to the Omakase Bar featuring a Japanese fusion using Mayan Riviera ingredients, from Barro de Cobre's authentic production of mezcal to the circular composting of any food waste courtesy of some resident worms.  [31:50] Tulum is a place where trends are created - across architecture, gastronomy, hospitality, fashion, barefoot luxury - and Rodrigo believes “regenerative design” is the next big thing to come out of this innovative city, a form of “systemic acupuncture” as he explains. [41:10] What started as a day trip to a nearby artisanal town in search for candles, will soon turn into the next Candelda community in the “pueblo magico” of Valladolid.

"Literally, within a month or two of being plant-based, I didn't wake up in pain anymore"Kate, a clinical psychologist from NYC, was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when she was 15. After years of being on and off NSAIDS, which contributed to digestive issues, Kate has discovered a path of managing her arthritis symptoms with nutrition. She's been primarily plant-based for almost 9 years, and she has not been on medications for her arthritis since making this change.

Playa del Carmen is known as the heartbeat of the Mayan Riviera and is probably one of the most visited cities in Mexico after Cancun. Discover some of its most important touristic attractions and accommodations inside the UVC world.

You can ignore the truth, but it will come for you eventually.... This couples retreat in paradise isn't what it seems.... The Harmony Resort promises hope for struggling marriages. Run by celebrity power couple Drs Miles and Grace Markell, the 'last resort' offers a chance for partners to repair their relationships in a luxurious setting on the gorgeous Mayan Riviera. Johanna and Ben have a marriage that looks perfect on the surface, but in reality, they don't know each other at all. Shell and Colin fight constantly: after all, Colin is a workaholic, and Shell always comes second to his job as an executive at a powerful mining company. But what has really torn them apart is too devastating to talk about. When both couples begin Harmony's intensive therapy program, it becomes clear that Harmony is not all it seems - and neither are Miles and Grace themselves. As a deadly tropical storm descends on the coast, secrets are revealed and loyalties are tested - but what price will these couples pay when they uncover the truth?

In this episode James and Alex speak with returning guest Patricia Persaud about escaping the winter blues and her new home base – Mexico! Nestled in the heart of Mexico's Mayan Riviera, Playa del Carmen is a sunseeker's paradise and, as we find out from Patricia, also a pretty great place to teach English. Patricia talks about what it's been like relocating from Korea to Mexico, what it's like living and teaching in one of Mexico's most popular tourist destinations, and some of the many differences between teaching in Asia versus Latin America. Alex also fondly recalls having to bribe his way out of the Cancun airport, and James puts a new twist on our final question (which show mascot Ziggy barkingly approves).

Happy Thanksgiving to our US listeners. On today's show we're preparing for 2022. I find that towards the end of the year people often get an uneasy feeling that there are only a few weeks remaining in the year. Many of the goals that were set at the beginning of 2021 remain incomplete. You might be traveling home to visit family, unsure of how to answer the question – How has your year been? This is a time when you might be thinking about the upcoming year, wondering when you will find the time to set goals for the upcoming year. If you're like most people, you won't set any goals at all. After all, if you don't set goals, you can't fail. I take the time to set goals every year. In fact, most years I host a transformational goals retreat which we hold on the beach in Mexico on the Mayan Riviera. But this year we decided instead to host a corporate retreat where we will spend four full days on goal setting and planning for our organization. This will set us up extremely well for next year. In preparation for those four days, there is a bunch of work that we will be doing. You can't go into goal setting, at least you can't do it effectively with no preparation. On today's show we're going to talk about the first step in preparing for goal setting for 2022. The first step is to run a retrospective. If you're serious about achieving your goals, I can recommend two different programs. 1) The Real Estate Guys host a live event in Lake Las Vegas in the first week of January. I've attended personally and it's excellent. 2) Michael Hyatt has an excellent online program called "Best Year Ever". Both these programs are excellent and I highly recommend them. ------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

Season two of We Know WeHo kicks off featuring a brand new business this week in the guest spotlight! Farm Cup Coffee opened last week with a ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Lindesy Horvath! In 2017, founders Tony and Emerson took their very first trip as a couple to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. While they were there, they passed by a VW camper outfitted as a mobile coffee shop. They didn't pay too much attention to it at the time, but it planted the seed to what would become Farm Cup Coffee. The name Farm Cup Coffee came from the sustainable idea of farm-to-table food. Ethical food-sourcing has become essential to a sustainable future, so why not translate that to one of the most consumed beverages in the world? They focus on organic single origin coffee directly sourced from the farm owners so you know exactly where your coffee comes from. The coffee is roasted at source when possible to ensure the farmers receive the highest profit for their craft.

The Travel Tales with Fergal Podcast features the travel influencer couple the Two Bohemians, who have nearly 70,000 followers on Instagram, who are working as digital nomads in Tulum, Mexico. They give a fascinating insight into life as full time travel influencers. They tell us how they make money by being influencers on social media, the secrets of the trade and what it was really like travelling the last year during the pandemic. Mexico has become a mecca for travel influencers, jet-setting celebrities and hippies as they flock to Tulum on the Caribbean coast. This beach resort town on the "Mayan Riviera" is booming from an influx of tourists and remote workers, not without some controversy. They give an honest assessment of why they left the UK in January to go to Mexico for work and the reaction they got for doing that. “It gets to the point when you feel you have had enough and that was us at Christmas. We are people that thrive on being in different countries, cultures, by learning and exploring. Travelling is how we find our natural happiness”.Influencers have come under fire in recent weeks for jet-setting off to sunny destinations abroad for work trips during a pandemic. But for influencers, whose livelihoods depend on engaging an audience and keeping sponsorships, travelling goes beyond adventure.The Two Bohemians share great travel stories including campervanning through Europe, cycling the plains of Mongolia and why Costa Rica and Sri Lanka are the new travel hotspots. They give great insights into what it is like to devote your life to travel and how exactly you make money from influencing. They continued to travel throughout 2020 during the pandemic and they share what that was really like.

Andres Barragan was born in Bogota, Colombia, growing up as a drug war raged. He spent his life wandering across Paris, Taipei, the Mayan Riviera, the American Midwest, New England, the Delaware Valley...and Brooklyn. He’s had the on-again, off-again relationship with the big business jobs, but also spent his time in shipping containers on Mexican beaches convincing people to eat (South Asian inspired) poisonous lionfish tacos...to save the planet? For Andres, life is a patchwork of experiences and influences, with bursts of creativity and spells of tedium. Why can’t Andres kick his quest for reinvention? He blames a vanilla, middle-class upbringing. We just think he doesn't wanna stand still...

Jon kicks off the show with a raspy voice -- was it due to a bout with COVID-19? -- before we jump into today's Travel Stories. During our 20 months of travel, we have encountered numerous situations where strangers go out of their way to lend us a helping hand. In this episode, we share specific experiences about the security guards in Akumal, Mexico; the shuttle ride in the Mayan Riviera that turned into a tour; the kind and wonderful Airbnb hosts in Mérida, Mexico; the helping hands on the Mexico City bus platform; the cab ride from a stranger in Cuenca, Ecuador, who wasn't a cab driver; and the Mendoza, Argentina, gentlemen who helped us get our car from a locked parking lot and then gave us tips on the best places to visit nearby. Time and again we have enjoyed strangers helping us navigate unfamiliar territory, and we remain forever grateful.Follow us on Instagram: @SumplaceNewFollow us on Facebook: @SumplaceNewCredits:Intro/Outro Music: The World at Large by Daniel O'ConnorIntro VO: Laura Welsh

Sex and Relationship advice you can use tonight. Participant #1: Welcome to the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast. I'm Jessica O'Reilly. Before we get started, I want to say a big thank you to Desire Resorts for their ongoing support of this podcast. If you aren't familiar with Desire, they offer two adult playgrounds that are clothing optional couples only highly erotic resorts on the Mayan Riviera, just south of Cancun, as well as adult Playgrounds at Sea on their European and soon to be expanded clothing optional couples only cruise experiences. So do check them out. Desire Resorts or Desire experiences on Instagram. Well, the holidays are upon us, and I think we're all feeling a lot of feelings. I have Brandon here with me today, and I was thinking, Brandon with the holidays only a week away for some of us were already in our holiday rituals. How are you feeling about this season? I feel great. I feel a little stressed, but overall, I feel pretty good. Do you really just feel a little stressed? No. I feel a lot stressed. Let's start on a positive note. No. On a scale of one to ten, how stressed are you? Depends on the day. It depends on what we have, what event is coming up, but it could range from like a three all the way to, like a seven. Okay. And today, right this moment, this moment. I'm like a two. No, I'm like a one right now. Well, we're recording here in Mexico City. We're in our comfy hotel room. Let's be honest. We're recording in bed. Yeah, maybe a little too much information. I'm down here for work, but also for pleasure. We have my mother and my stepdad with us, not in the room, but on the trip, and they're pretty awesome. I love traveling with them. It's cool if you have a cool couple to travel with, and I'm lucky that it's a family member. Yes. I really enjoy hanging out with your mum and Luigi. Yeah, mum just turned 68, but she seems more like she's 45 50. It's not too far from my age. Yeah. And Luigi is just super young, so that's my stepdad. Anyhow. I wanted to answer some listener questions, and our listener questions are piling up. So thank you for sending them in, and I'm really doing my best to get to all of them over the next few eight weeks. But today we're going to address some of the questions that are specifically related to holiday dilemmas, because I grew up really excited for Christmas. That's what we celebrate. And my mum made the season really special. And now I get really excited for it. But I also find that we get really stressed out, and it has to do sometimes with the people that we have to see. Yeah. No, I agree completely. Sometimes that's the truth. Sometimes it's just a matter of timing. Right now, I'm working on a big project that requires a lot of work I'm creating. I should tell you, I'm creating a 50 video course with 50 different exercises and activities to improve and revolutionize your relationship. So simple activities you can do in 15 minutes. We've done these activities in the past and doing them again in advance of your course was great. Yeah. So these activities include physical activities like different erotic touch techniques, but primarily their discussion activities. So, for example, we have an interview, a vulnerability interview where you have to ask one another question that require you to get a little bit vulnerable. And so I'm creating this course.

Jess and Brandon continue the “partner interview” and share details about their greatest fears, fondest memories, where they hope to be in ten years and what they're working on in terms of self-development.

This is Jess O'Reilly, your friendly neighborhood sexologist here with Brandon again today. Back for a little more. Back for more? Yes. Gotten for punishment. I wouldn't describe these podcasts is that there are worst things I could do to you? Definitely. So before we get started, I want to say a big thank you to Desire Resorts for your support of this episode. Desire Resorts. They have multiple locations on the Mayan Riviera clothing optional couples only paradises where lots of fun happens. And Brandon can attest to that. Yeah, sometimes too much fun. Okay, we won't go there. Make sure you check out Desire Resorts and Desire Cruises. Now, last week, Brandon and I started this partnered interview that is designed to increase intimacy, promote understanding, deepen your commitment to the relationship by opening up new conversations that you don't normally have. And if you missed last week's podcast, go back and listen to it. And I'll just remind you that I often talk about how communication and relationships gets reduced to conversations related to work and money, kids and family and your agendas, your schedules. And although you have to talk about all of those important aspects of your life, they are not the foundation for an intimate relationship. And every couple I meet tells me they're really good at communicating. And the reality is we all struggle with communicating. So Brandon and I, for example, might have all the tools at our disposal, but we don't always use them. So, for example, even this interview is not something we've done before and forcing yourself to have these conversations once you're in the groove. Actually quite interesting. When I listened to your answers last week, I almost feel like I didn't know them. I knew them, but I didn't know them. And then it was really interesting. It's interesting. You say that because I think it's a bit of a braggadocious thing that, oh, I know everything about my partner. And the reality is I don't even want you to know everything about me. I also think that people whose attitudes are that they know everything. I hear it all the time. I assume that when somebody says that to me, it's an unwillingness to learn or hear somebody else's perspective. And more importantly, to learn something new, I actually feel like I always have something to learn. I feel the same way. Right. We were at the Everything to Do With Sex show this weekend, and I was talking about different sexual techniques, communication strategies, and people would come up and say, I think I have that covered. I'm an expert in that already, and I think it's so interesting because what I think is I wouldn't want to have sex with those people. I'm your partner, and I've heard you deliver these speeches hundreds of times, and I still feel like I could learn something new every time I listen to you speak. It's funny, because I've written multiple books, mostly on sex on sexual technique and positions, and I do not remember all of them, and I wrote them, so I have to go back. And certainly I am not the ultimate expert in any of these things. If I read any of my colleagues books, I always learn something new. So you've probably heard of the growth mindset versus the fixed mindset. And I do think that you, the listener,

I'm Jess O'Reilly, your friendly neighborhood sexologist. And today we are going to be talking about bisexuality, the double standards, the erasure and the myths. Before we get started, let me shout out to our sponsor, Desire Resorts, an all inclusive, clothing optional couple's paradise with two locations on the Mayan Riviera. Be sure to check them out at Desire Resorts on social media. Joining me today is Angelique Luna, a certified King aware professional relationship and sex coach, educator, entertainer and sexual abuse advocate, as well as her partner, John, who was an entrepreneur, author, professional educator and software developer. Welcome to the program. How's it going? Hello. Yeah. Happy to be here. Glad you're here now. September 23 is Bisexual Awareness Day. So our timing is perfect. I thought we could jump in just starting with some definitions. So what does it mean to be bisexual? From your perspective, that's a good question, because lately the word coming up pan sexual is what I hear a lot, and they're very close, but different. But to us, bisexual means we're attracted to both men and women. Personally, I go by bisexual because it's more well understood than trying to understand pansexual, but it doesn't mean I'm not included. I'm not attracted to transgender. And again, other sexes. Okay. And do you both identify as bisexual? Yes, we do. We do have child, too, which surprised us when she's like, okay, I'm bi. I'm like, what the heck? Well, it's interesting because the data around bisexuality is on the rise. So more people are identifying as bisexual, and there are differences by gender, with more women reporting same sex contact than men. There are differences by race as well. So, for example, in the United States, fewer Hispanic women report being bisexual than white women and fewer black women than white women as well. Although the number is closer. But the latest research that looked at over 9000 people aged 18 to 44 and asked them about their sexual experiences, their attraction and how they identify found that this trend stood out. And this is why the headlines ring out. People love a headline that says bisexuality, even if they don't dig a bit deeper. But more women reported having had sexual contact with other women than in previous years, 17.4% in the current survey, compared with 14.2% in the 2006 to 2010 survey, and more women and men identified as bisexual, five 5% of women and 2% of men, compared with three 9% of women and one 2% of men in the last survey. So what do you think about this trend? I think the younger generation is they're fighting everything possible that they're getting to the point that they just don't care. They'd rather be their authentic self than fitting into a mold. And we're seeing that a lot with kids in high school and even the I don't know if the millennials would be that, but the younger, like 20 to 25 crew. They are much more confident in themselves, and we're raising them to have a lot more self awareness. I also see a lot of men and women in their 40s now who have either married or divorced and starting to rethink their sexuality.

Pansexual. Cisgender. Sapiosexual. Gender Queer. Gender Fluid. Agender. Aromantic. Demisexual. Gender Non-confirming. Transgender.

I'm Jessica O'Reilly, your friendly neighborhood sexologist. Before we get started, I want to say a big thank you to at Desire Resorts for their support. I'm heading to Desire in October and January. It's a clothing optional environment with two locations on the Mayan Riviera. Check them out at Desire Resorts. As you know, if you've tuned in before my partner, the love of my life, Brandon often joins me for these podcasts. And moving forward, Brandon is going to be on the air for almost every episode if I can pin him down because you folks seem to like him, and I really like him, too. And I find that I'm more myself. I'm more calm. I'm ultimately better at my job when he's next to me for a number of reasons, including the fact that it's actually really tough to be a woman in the public eye and having a man by your side means that you receive less harassment, less vitriol, and fewer Dick pics. But also he's just a really funny, empathetic, insightful person, and he brings a perspective as a non sexuality, non relationship professional that I just don't offer. So I was hoping that Brendan would be here today, but I'm in Atlanta for Sexton South, and he's in Toronto doing his business thing so he couldn't be here. But Brandon is the inspiration for this episode. He's excited to be a part of the podcast, so he says, but he's mentioned that he's nervous because talking about sex and relationships and gender can feel really stressful for him because of all the new terminology. So he's kind of afraid to use the wrong words. So here's what Brandon has to say on the topic with apologies that he's not live with us right now. I know that it's my job to educate myself on the proper use of pronouns when I'm identifying somebody, whether it's transgender, lesbian, gay, straight, queer by it's my job. I understand that, but I didn't grow up around a lot of people who identified other than their visible gender. Even right now, I'm already thinking about things I'm like, how should I say this? And I don't want to be rude or insensitive in conversation with other people, and until we all adopt the use of they, my question is, how do I go about demonstrating my willingness to use the appropriate terms? But if I make a mistake not making a big deal out of it being apologetic for the mistake because I do find that in certain environments, I'm afraid to contribute for fear of saying the wrong thing. And that may sound really silly, but it's the truth. I'm just afraid of using the wrong thing and then looking like an idiot or looking like I'm not sympathetic. And then if I do apologize, am I making too big of a deal out of it? And I just want to make sure that I'm being as inclusive as I can while being very sensitive to the identifiers of those people around me. So even though Brandon can't be here today, we're going to be talking about this topic and defining a number of sexuality and gender relat...

Twitter Instagram Facebook See below for this episode's transcription... Dr. Jess: Hi there! This is Jess O'Reilly I am Sex with Dr. Jess, your friendly neighborhood sexologist and shouldn't every neighborhood have a sexologist? I don't know, maybe my neighbors would beg to differ. I am here as always to help you cultivate sexual compatibility so that you can a happier, more meaningful, more loving relationship and of course compatibility is something that requires work. It is not about destiny and it's not about finding the right partner. It is about training your partner and treating yourself, to meet your partner's needs. It's that simple! Now today, I'm a little bit nervous and a little bit excited, because I have with me Mister hahah no Mister Sex with Dr. Jess. Brandon: The man behind the woman. Dr. Jess: The man behind the woman but really the man who stands beside me, and props me up. Brandon: You want to be careful with where I’m standing. Dr. Jess: Yeah. My husband, Brandon Ware, my life partner, the love of my life is with us. Brandon say hi. Brandon: Hey everybody, how you doing? Dr. Jess: He’s doing… Brandon: I’m expecting a response. Dr. Jess: He’s doing the Barry White voice… Brandon: It’s White Barry. Are you doing there? Dr. Jess: Hahah. Definitely Barry White. Hahaha. We are going to talk about our life, because one of the top questions I receive after, ‘hey is it normal that I like to put this up my butt?’ and the answer is yes. Brandon: Hahah. Dr. Jess: One of the top questions I received is, ‘what did your husband think about what you do?’ So babe let's start there, we're going to be talking about how working in the field of human sexuality impacts our relationship and our sex life. I don’t think we’re going to get too graphic. Brandon: Nope. Dr. Jess: But ultimately your life changes when something that is so pleasurable and also so tied your identity becomes your life's work. So we'll start with: Brandon and what do you think of my job? Brandon: I think it's amazing. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives. Where do I even begin? There are so many things that we've been introduced to, exposed to, as a result of your job. Dr. Jess: That’s good and bad? Brandon: Um yeah it’s a bit of both. Dr. Jess: Exposed sounds umm… Brandon: Exposed isn’t the right word, maybe introduced to is the better terminology. I mean, let’s talk about Desire Resorts. That clothing-optional resort down on the Mayan Riviera. Dr. Jess: Yeah so I talk about Desire a lot. It’s not just because I work with them, honestly it's because it was life changing for me. And I’ve talked about how it made the way I’ve felt about my body, but I also know Brandon's told me that, and I don’t think he’s told me in so many words because the first time we went there we were in our mid-twenties so it’s 11-12 years ago. Hahah Brandon is getting close to 40. Brandon: Ya the countdown is on! Dr. Jess: It’s okay you look younger and act younger. Too young. But I know it changed the way you look at women, so maybe you can talk about that, because the chance, the opportunity to go there is something that I think, really I only was confronted or encountered because I'm working in this field. So how does being around naked people and being in a playroom where people are actually having sex change our relationship?

Richard asks: Over the last few years he has needed to drink more and more wine in order to get the same effect.

He feels that it is a sugar craving and is wondering if it could be candida (he also wonders if the candida could have contributed to his needing a heart bypass a few years ago).

In my response I recommend: - How to Get Rid Of Car Sickness Betsy asks:I live in Denver - we have a house in Breckenridge at 11,000 ft (near Mt. Quandary) . Since we have had kids, it's been difficult to make it up for weekend adventures. The last two times we have attempted mountain trips our almost 3 year old gets really car sick. The drive is about 1 hour 3 min. She has puked both times. The route isn't too too swirly. We've tried the regular advice - roll down the window (even though it's freakin' cold), light snack before we go - tell her to look out the window... No dice. In my response I recommend: - - How Long Should You Rest After Interval Training? Jacob asks:I do triathlon and had a question about training. I work out two to three times a day and when I swim, I always do intervals. My question is this: Should I do hard intervals in both bike and run workouts in the same day and then make the next day a recovery day? Or, besides swimming, keep the intervals to either the bike or the run for that day and then do the intervals in the other discipline the next day. I have heard of some cyclists smashing themselves with hard intervals twice a day and then going very easy on off days. I am wondering if this or if doing intervals everyday ( except for weekly rest day ) in just bike or the run is the the way to go. I would appreciate your input. In my response I recommend: - - What Supplements To Use Before Workouts Peggah asks: So I read your . I don't take any pre-workout supplements now and was wondering if you had any recommendations. I workout usually after sitting at a desk for close to 10 hours, and feel like I would definitely benefit from having additional energy and would love to take something that would help me burn more fat/build more muscle. But I'm also not training for a triathlon or doing crazy-hard workouts, so I imagine (but am not sure) that something like the X2 Performance would be overkill. I'm 28, 5'4, 130lbs (would like to lose 10 and just get more toned), can run like 4 miles at a 10 min pace, workout 3-4 times a week, and generally do a combination of cardio and weights for 45 minutes at my apartment's gym. Anyway, if you have any thoughts on pre (or post) workout supplements for a pretty average gym-goer who wants to step it up a little, would love to hear your thoughts! In my response I recommend: - - - - How To Train For An Ultramarathon James asks:My name is James STACIWA, I am a chiropractor in Newcastle, Australia & have been doing triathlons for about 4years now & I love the endurance side of things. In 2014 I plan on tackling a different beast, an Ironman in Jan, a 75k ultramarathon in the Victorian mountain country then a 100k north face ultramarathon in the nsw mountains. I was wondering if you would have any recommendations/suggestions for a training regime that would require me to go from ironman athlete to ultramarathon man?
