In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Tracy McCarthy, a brilliant functional medicine physician and psychiatrist, to talk about what it really takes to heal—especially in midlife. We explored how functional medicine goes beyond symptom management and instead focuses on the root causes of chronic conditions like anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues. Tracy's perspective on how nutrition, inflammation, gut health, and lifestyle play into our mental and physical well-being is deeply empowering.As someone who works with women navigating health and identity shifts in midlife, I found this conversation to be a powerful reminder that healing is possible—and it doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Dr. McCarthy shares how small, consistent changes can lead to massive improvements and how partnering with your body (not fighting it) is the key to long-term health. If you're curious about functional medicine, overwhelmed by your symptoms, or simply want to feel better in your body—this episode is for you.Episode Highlights:[0:00] - Kicking off with Dr. Tracy McCarthy and the power of functional medicine.[1:25] - Tracy shares her journey from psychiatry to root-cause healing.[6:13] - The common symptoms Tracy sees in midlife women.[8:04] - What the functional medicine intake and testing process looks like.[12:06] - The importance of patient participation in healing.[13:20] - Understanding the role of inflammation in chronic illness.[16:56] - A powerful case study that brought it all together.[21:27] - Gut health: the surprising link to mood and brain function.[25:12] - The mystery behind why autoimmune issues hit women harder.[34:14] - Prevention and aging: how much power we do have.

Matthew Coller - the Purple Insider joins us to talk about the Vikings struggles now going from JJ to Max Brosmer once again, the injuries plaguing this team including Ryan Kelly's ongoing struggles with concussions and what veteran QB do the Vikings need to look into to help guide JJ to success heading into next season!

Former Vikings GM Jeff Diamond on McCarthy, Brosmer and what the last two games mean.   From Aquarius Home Services Studio (www.aquariushomeservices.com/)   Supported by White Bear Lake Superstore Buick GMC (www.WhiteBearLakeSuperstore.com) Golf Club Hospital (www.Golfclubhospital.com)  Continental Diamond (www.continentaldiamond.com)

The low-scoring, injury-riddled slugfest aside, the Vikings find themselves at another inflection point of their season, awaiting (on Monday) news on the severity of McCarthy's injury. It's important he finishes the season on the field for both his own development and the organization's ability to evaluate him. Thus far, complete evaluation of the second-year QB has proved difficult, as he missed his rookie campaign with a knee injury and missed 6.5 games in 2025 (due to ankle, concussion and hand injuries) compiling just 8.5 games in his career.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ben Goessling, Andrew Krammer and Emily Leiker discuss the news that quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a hairline fracture in his throwing hand in New York, meaning rookie Max Brosmer gets another start on Christmas Day against the Detroit Lions. They also debut the listener voicemail that will allow you another avenue to leave us questions.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with three questions from readers, all of them about the NFL. 8:00: Andrew Krammer's film review from the Vikings' win over the Giants leads to all sorts of questions. 28:00: Vikings poetry. 43:00: An emerging TV headache for Wolves, Wild?

It was a bruised and battered win, but a win nonetheless for the Vikings - we get into that with Dave Schwartz and also ask him about the Minnesota Wild - sure they lost to Colorado but the Quinn Hughes era has given some great results early! Then we discuss what the Wolves can do to keep pushing in the Western Conference as well!

From the publisher: Christmas is not just a day or a frame of mind as Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) imparts in Miracle on 34th Street (1947); Christmas is also a vehicle for national mythmaking as an idealising mirror for American cultural and political attitudes of a given moment. Via a case study on Hollywood Christmas films released between 1946 and 1961, Selling Out Santa offers an examination of political pressures on Hollywood in the post-war period and the cultural ramifications of federal involvement in the motion picture industry. As the House Committee on Un-American Activities opened hearings in 1947 and the FBI gathered reports on potential communist subversion in Frank Capra's Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life (1946), Hollywood executives began to bend to the socially conservative pressures of this post-war moment. Using Christmas films as the core of this investigation to identify and analyse changes within the genre as they relate to and reflect changes in the wider cultural and political moment exposes for film scholars, students, and non-specialists how these federal and external pressures on Hollywood moulded these holiday favourites throughout the 1950s and set the social standard for decades of Christmas releases.Vaughn Joy is on social media at https://bsky.app/profile/gvaughnjoy.bsky.socialInformation on her book can be found at https://indiepubs.com/products/selling-out-santa?srsltid=AfmBOopjXbRVgGjiwj4_WnZgoxzgP_DnDpf-4pdhv3STCYk0t-pSrcZqShe is on Substack at https://substack.com/@gvaughnjoyAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Nate & Charles start by highlighting the Jacksonville Jaguars knocking off the 1-seed Denver Broncos, the Chicago Bears getting their revenge over the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Chargers offense looking dangerous against the Dallas Cowboys heading into the playoffs.The lows of Week 16 include the Detroit Lions being unable to save their season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers continuing their freefall in a loss to the Carolina Panthers (sparking questions about whether Baker Mayfield is really the future) and the Minnesota Vikings-New York Giants slop fest featuring some rough young QB play.

The Minnesota Vikings won their 3rd game in a row. Yay! J.J. McCarthy is injured again. Nay! How does J.J. McCarthy's latest injury impact the already muddy situation with J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings? As Jason notes, it is “a resume of injuries” at this point for McCarthy. The Before I Die crew is back to recap whatever it was we saw on Sunday at the Meadowlands and how the Minnesota Vikings will move forward as they navigate through another J.J. McCarthy injury. Lastly, if the Minnesota Vikings have good receivers, why don't they ever catch the ball?

Jerry is back with the sounds of a local disaster as the Jets surrender eight sacks in a blowout loss and the Giants manage to fall to Vikings backup Max Brosmer after J.J. McCarthy went down. Gio's already scouting for the next Giants regime, falling in love with the "Jersey guy" energy of Jaguars DC Anthony Campanile, while the rest of the league provided pure confusion—from the Ravens inexplicably ignoring Derrick Henry during a fourth-quarter collapse to Mike McDaniel's bizarre post-game presser

Norm tips the cap to Cooper Flagg turning 19 and casually dropping 40 in the NBA—then immediately pivots to something far less impressive: the Dallas Cowboys doing the exact same thing again.If this season feels familiar, that's because it is. Early points, a brief lead, then the defense opens the floodgates while the offense stalls out like it hit an invisible wall. Norm walks through the Chargers loss, the Vikings loss, the Lions loss—pick a week, it's the same movie with a different jersey color.The numbers are brutal: 112 points allowed in three weeks, one sack, five punts forced, and a defense threatening to challenge 1960 for the worst in franchise history. Yet the reflex response still seems to be “fire the coordinator and move on,” rather than confronting the uncomfortable truth that a lot of these players simply aren't good enough.Norm asks the question no one in the front office seems eager to answer: does Jerry Jones actually understand how mediocre this team is—or are we about to spin the coordinator wheel one more time and hope for a miracle?CHAPTERS00:00:00 – Happy Birthday, Cooper Flagg (And Welcome Back to Cowboys Reality)00:00:41 – Fluent Financial Sponsor Read00:01:45 – Cowboys Groundhog Day: Same Game, Same Ending00:02:36 – 6–8–1 and Stuck in the Middle of the Draft Again00:03:18 – “It's the Scheme” vs. “It Might Be the Players”00:03:56 – McCarthy Gone, Zimmer Gone, Schottenheimer Here… Same Results00:04:39 – Chargers Game Recap: Fast Start, Zero Finish00:05:33 – Three-Week Stretch of Defensive Horror00:06:29 – One Sack, Five Punts, and 20 Opponent Scores00:07:11 – No Pressure on Goff, McCarthy, or Herbert00:08:03 – Diggs Back, Revel Struggling, and No Answers00:09:01 – Chargers' Backup Offensive Line Still Runs Wild00:09:57 – Defensive Box Score: Who Showed Up… and Who Didn't00:10:37 – How Many New Starters Does This Defense Need?00:11:01 – Bob's Steak & Chop House Sponsor Read00:12:01 – Full Moon Healing Balm Sponsor Read00:12:57 – Sponsor Close00:13:19 – Follow, Share, and Keep Wondering00:14:00 – Stolen Water Media Sign-Off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW
