Sometimes, despite our best efforts, our bodies simply don't work the way we want them to. Maybe it's an occasional occurrence for you or maybe it's something you live with every day. We take on all sorts of messages about what health is (and what it's not), how we get healthy, and how we stay healthy. But is all of the social messaging we absorb really helping us measure health? Or is it something that has been designed and packaged to tell us how to measure our own morality and worth?   Tune into my conversation with two of my students, Deb Malkin and Michelle Kapler, to learn why health is so challenging for so many of us, how we try to control our health, and how (as usual) trying to control something we can't control, can make everything feel worse.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://unfuckyourbrain.com/255

“Whatever anxieties and self-doubt you have, whatever inner turmoil you're carrying with you, you'll just take it into parenthood.” Topics Discussed:

Mommy wine culture is booming. You don't have to go far to find memes about the “quarantini” and “mommy's juice box” being a box of Rosé. Today we are asking the question why? Drinking can be a coping mechanism for stressed out moms - but what moms really need isn't wine. What we need is support. And that is unfortunately difficult to ask for.    We are interviewing Michelle Kapler. She is  a Certified Life Coach, specializing in overdrinking and alcohol freedom. She works with high achieving women, who want to explore their relationship with alcohol, without judgement and without labels. As a highly successful entrepreneur, multiple times over and a mother, Michelle understands what it's like to have a big, full, wonderful life on the outside… but to truly feel like you need that nightly glass (or bottle) of wine to make it through life. To feel like sometimes you are drinking against your own will. To feel like you have lost control. Michelle has now been living an alcohol free life for over two years. To achieve this, she used tools based in cognitive psychology, thought work and coaching, to completely lose her desire for alcohol and create a beautiful amazing life, without identifying as an alcoholic or using a 12 step program. She now helps her clients do the same.   Nikki, Lexi, and Michelle talk about how much is “too much,” alternative coping mechanisms, and how to overcome many addictions in your life.    What We're Chatting About: Tell us your story of how you came to specialize in helping people cope with drinking?  What are the stats on drinking frequency and amount?  What is too much?  What is the difference between an alcoholic and someone who drinks too much?  What are some signs you may want to get some help?  What do you wish more people knew about drinking? What are your thoughts on Mommy Wine Culture? How has becoming a non drinker affected your life?  Show Notes:  For more of Michelle Kapler, please visit instagram.com/michellekapler on Instagram michellekapler.com on the Web For more of We Go There Podcast, please visit instagram.com/wegotherepodcast on Instagram wegotherepodcast.com on the Web *Warning- this podcast is completely unfiltered.

Do you know what rarely gets the spotlight when it comes to optimizing your fertility? Research shows that sleep is foundational and essential to our health. Yet, it's seldom discussed in the fertility clinic experience and isn't up there among diet and exercise in the standard fertility optimization recommendations. Now, I've done a lot of research and extra learning on sleep. Sleep has become a bit of an Achilles heel for me since the birth of my daughter five years ago. When I became a terrible insomniac, the change in my hormones and my nervous system created a downstream effect and negatively impacted my sleep. I was one of those people who would fall asleep, no problem, and then wake up at 2 a.m. and toss and turn for hours, because I couldn't shut my mind off. It significantly impacted my quality of life. After learning everything I could about sleep, I'm now able to manage my insomnia and it really isn't a thing for me anymore...most of the time. What I learned from my many months of research is astounding. The level of impact that sleep has on our overall health is surprising and staggering. Since we focus on a holistic and full-body view of fertility on the show, I'll be talking all about sleep in this quick episode. Show Notes: [02:12] - Let's start with a foundation of understanding for how much sleep we need to achieve an optimal baseline of health. Here's what a National Sleep Foundation study found out. [02:52] - Chronic sleep deprivation affects every aspect of how the body functions. [03:04] - If you get less than this many hours of sleep regularly, you're at a significantly increased risk for these health problems. [03:15] - Let's discuss a few ways sleep can affect our fertility. Michelle dives a little deeper into why optimal health equals optimal fertility. [03:48] - Chronically sleep-deprived individuals produce lower levels of this hormone which may contribute to lower egg quality. [04:51] - Another consideration for how sleep affects fertility is through immune system regulation. [05:48] - What does seven to nine hours of healthy sleep look like? Michelle breaks it down quickly. [06:19] - If you're giving yourself enough time to sleep but still experience problems, here's what you can adjust to get better sleep. [07:23] - These pieces of technology wreak havoc on our ability to sleep. Here's how to handle them before you go to bed each night. [08:08] - Michelle discusses this surprising fact about the life of caffeine and how it affects quality sleep. [08:45] - People often use these two substances to help them fall asleep, but they actually negatively impact the deepest, most restorative sleep cycle. [09:39] - Michelle gives acknowledgment and a piece of advice to those who may not be able to implement the previous suggestions due to lifestyle obligations.
