Summary This holiday season, your feed will be flooded with "must-have" wellness products — detox kits, powders, trackers, supplements, and miracle solutions promising to fix your stress, your hormones, and your sleep. But do we really need all of this stuff? In this episode, I'm breaking down how wellness has drifted away from its roots and turned into another form of consumerism — selling us insecurity in the name of self-care. I'll share how to spot wellness grifters, what real well-being actually looks like, and the few time-tested practices that still matter: acupuncture, baths, walks, nourishing meals, sleep, friends, hobbies, and joy. If your wellness routine involves 17 products, 5 subscriptions, 2 wearable tech devices, and credit card debt… it's not wellness — it's capitalism. Let's get back to what actually heals. Takeaways We live in a different society than thousands of years ago. The basics of well-being still apply today. Being outside in nature is crucial for health. Community and belonging are essential for well-being. Nourishing meals contribute significantly to health. Restful sleep is a fundamental aspect of well-being. Time spent with friends enhances quality of life. Engaging in hobbies brings joy and fulfillment. Strength training and movement are vital for physical health. Breath work is an important practice for overall wellness.

After achieving everything he thought he wanted, business success, travel, recognition, Christian Schnepf found himself suicidal, realising that ticking all the boxes didn't mean living a meaningful life.His story is one of awakening and rebuilding, from chasing external success to cultivating inner fulfilment. Through years of self-reflection, research, and a PhD project, Christian developed the Good Time Ratio (GTR), a metric that measures how much of your life feels aligned, energised, and meaningful.In this episode, Christian and Stretch explore:The emptiness of “success” when it's out of alignmentHow breakdowns can spark deeper transformationThe five key areas that determine life satisfactionWhy flow and self-care are essential for men in midlifeHow to use data to identify what truly gives, or drains, your energyThe future of the Good Time Ratio app and how it's helping people optimise their livesWebsite: https://chrisw.co/App:  goodtime.app Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisw.gtFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chrisw.gt Midlife Mavericks Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/midlife-maverick/aboutKey TakeawaysFulfilment ≠ achievement: You can have everything on paper and still feel empty.Energy is the compass: What feels attractive and energising points you toward flow.Measure what matters: The Good Time Ratio helps visualise where energy flows or gets blocked.Self-care is leadership: Taking care of yourself first enables you to serve others better.Solitude brings clarity: Periods of isolation help quiet external noise and reconnect you to your inner voice.Men need “good times” too: Joy, movement, challenge, and freedom are essential forms of masculine self-care.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Purpose of Life03:11 Reflections on Youth and the Standard Script06:07 The Downward Spiral and Realisation of Emptiness10:11 Finding Hope and the Decision to Change12:48 Steps Towards a New Life16:25 The Journey of Self-Discovery20:14 Embracing Minimalism and New Opportunities24:06 Crafting a Vision and Mission Statement28:24 The Importance of Joy and Fulfillment32:47 Inquiring into Identity and Choices33:29 The Good Time Ratio and Insights on Success34:29 The Pursuit of Good Times36:53 Measuring Good Times: The Good Time Ratio41:19 The GoodTime App: Navigating Life with Data47:25 Five Areas of Life: Understanding Energy Flow55:10 Self-Care: The Key to Sustainable Happiness01:01:45 Embracing Discomfort for Growth01:08:25 Accessing the Good Time Ratio App01:14:02 The Essence of Christian's Journey

Send us a textMany female athletes think losing their period is a normal part of training, but it's actually a sign their body is under too much stress and not getting enough fuel.In this episode, Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD, sits down with sports dietitian Riley Beatty, founder of the Performance Fueling Club, to talk about hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), aka losing your period due to underfueling. Riley explains why HA happens, how to spot the warning signs (like fatigue, hair loss, or frequent injuries), and what it really takes to restore your period and optimize performance. They also discuss the myths around body weight and performance, the role of key nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, and how under-fueling can impact long-term health and bone strength.Whether you're a competitive athlete, recreational runner, or just someone who wants to feel strong and balanced, this episode will help you understand how fueling better supports your hormones, health, and performance.

“No one tells you how much of yourself you'll lose and find again in the months after birth — in the hair on the floor, the ache in your neck, the silence between feedings, and the friends who make you feel human again.”From hair loss and neck pain to postpartum migraines, mom friendships, and even the truth about baby formula — this episode dives into the unfiltered realities of the fourth trimester that most moms never hear about.We'll talk about the why behind what's happening in your body: the hormone shifts that cause hair to shed, the neck and shoulder pain that comes from feeding posture, and why migraines often return with your first period. You'll learn how nutrition, supplements, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and movement can help you feel grounded again in your changing body.We'll also go deeper — into the emotional side of postpartum healing. Finding mom friends who truly get it, giving yourself permission to rest, and remembering that your health matters as much as your baby's. And for those navigating feeding decisions, we'll explore the differences between European and U.S. formulas (like Kendamil) so you can make confident, informed choices.This episode is for every mother standing in that in-between space — healing, adjusting, rediscovering herself. It's honest, nurturing, and full of real solutions for the season no one really prepares you for.

One of the questions that comes up again and again in the Red School community is this: how can I free up my voice and share my truth? So many of us, particularly women and those socialised as female feel stuck, silenced or disconnected from our true expression, so today we're exploring how the practice of checking in every day with your menstrual cycle and how it's influencing your energy and mood can support you on this quest. Through our personal stories as well as stories from the community, we explore how menstrual cycle awareness is a discipline that keeps you close to yourself, and how this practice organically awakens an inner warmth, connection and confidence which lines you up to receive inspiration about what it is that you're here to express and share with the world. We explore:How menstruation cocoons you so that you can step away from the noise of the world and rest into a sanctuary of connection with your voice - the inner winter silences the world so that you can finally hear yourself. Tools for working with your inner critic and self expression - such as containing the critic in the premenstrual phase of the cycle - so that you can practice experimenting and paying with sharing your voice in the preovulatory phase, your inner spring.How to support ourselves when the holding back of our voice comes out as premenstrual rage or implodes inside as depressive cycles. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Summary In this conversation, I discuss the critical need for rest and the societal pressures that make it difficult for women to slow down. I explore the connection between productivity and self-worth, and how the nervous system reacts when one attempts to take a break. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing bodily signals of fatigue and the emotional resistance that often accompanies the need for rest. Takeaways If you slow down, you may feel unsafe. Rest is often equated with falling behind. Your body communicates through fatigue and anxiety. Women often struggle to relax due to societal pressures. Anhedonia can signal a need for change. Recognizing the need for rest is crucial. Pushing through fatigue can lead to burnout. Understanding your nervous system is key to relaxation. Self-worth should not be tied to productivity. Taking breaks can enhance overall well-being.

She is a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine and teaches live Qigong classes on her Substack “Gentle, gentle.”And KWD (they/she) who has been a sex worker their entire adult life, holding a variety of roles in the adult industry throughout their career, and an active advocate for LGBTQ+ and gender-based rights just as long. The flexibility of their work has allowed them to be a dedicated community organizer: distributing medical supplies and meals to working class comrades and unhoused neighbors.

She is passionate about inclusive community organizing and invites you to reach out by email to learn more and get involved! kwd@ishtarcollective.orgOur conversation serves as an introduction to the issues faced by and harm caused to sex workers by way of our current laws controlling their behavior and the behavior of their clients.

This Immunity legislation - A.1029-B / S.3967-B -  is an "act to amend the penal law, in relation to individuals engaged in prostitution who are victims of or witnesses to a crime." Call today!They walk me through some of the prevailing topics related to sex work that are deserving of a deeper conversation - body autonomy, perceived victimhood, feminism, choice, censorship, religious freedom, and the need for full decriminalization as opposed to partial decriminalization.We get a peek into the personal talking to Mothh about her BEAUTIFUL book and what self care looks like for both of them.You can get a sneak peak into the magic happening on Nov. 14th by joining them for Tarte happening on Sunday November 9, Doors 4pm, show 5pm at C.

Welcome back to the Ties That Bind.This season, we are looking at NATO from a bit of a different vantage point, specifically that of the frontline states. How are frontline states investing in and planning for their defense? How are they thinking about their role and contributions in the Alliance and on the world stage? How have their historical experiences shaped how their governments and societies think about defense, countering disinformation, and changing economic realities? And how are they preparing for a potential conflict with Russia? This week, we are looking at Poland, a country that has completely transformed its military and defense capacity over the last two decades. Periods of transition are not always painless, and we'll hear what challenges Poland has faced and what opportunities lie ahead as it looks to become a leading voice within the alliance and on the world stage.Featured guests: * Anna Fotyga, former Polish Foreign Minister, 2006-2007* Tomasz Szatkowski, former Deputy Defense Minister, 2015-2019, and Ambassador to NATO, 2019-2024* Jakub Romaniuk, Programme Director, Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies Get full access to FPRI Insights at fpriinsights.substack.com/subscribe

We're not broken—we're just overwhelmed. Kylie Larson and I explore how to quiet the noise, feel safe in your body, and start leading with acceptance instead of control. In this episode, Kylie Larson and I unpack the difference between what you think you need and what you actually need when it comes to health, wellness, and feeling like yourself again. We talk about the endless noise out there—how easy it is to chase the next fix—and why the real work often looks less like control and more like compassion. We also dig into what it means to feel safe in your body, how lifestyle choices play a bigger role than most people realize, and why acceptance isn't giving up—it's where real change begins. Our conversation was inspired by what we are seeing in ourselves, with clients and the collective as a whole.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety. Sound bites "How do we actually manage stress?" "Your brain and body are one thing." "Radical acceptance is not giving up."

In this episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we explore how real estate agents and teams can turn longer listing periods into powerful lead generation opportunities by running open houses the right way. Brian Icenhower explains why every listing should have at least two open houses—ideally in the first two weeks of hitting the market—and how top teams leverage this system not just to sell homes, but to generate more listings, build their database, and establish a reputation for hustle and professionalism. You'll learn: ✅ Why open houses are most effective during the “Miracle Month” (first 30 days on market) ✅ How to set team-wide standards (2 open houses per listing) and track them with dashboards ✅ Why proactive admin support is critical to maximizing open house coverage ✅ Conversion strategies that turn open house visitors into listing eAlert subscribers ✅ How to use open houses to attract sellers, not just buyers ✅ Scripts, systems, and client service approaches that separate top producers from casual agents Brian also shares how open houses fuel lead generation, team accountability, and market dominance, especially in spring and summer when traffic is high. With the right systems in place, every listing becomes a magnet for more opportunities.

This week, we're shaking things up! We kick things off with a rapid-fire round of health questions (spoiler: there's plenty of giggles) before diving into something a little more real — heavy periods. We chat about what actually counts as a “heavy” period, why it happens, and how you can start figuring out what's behind yours. UPCOMING EVENT:Register for The Progesterone Blueprint hereFIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/ SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/Perimenopause Masterclass -https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Book a Free Discovery Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWO Website - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopath Join the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a  

What if your period is trying to tell you something deeper? In this episode, we dive into the underappreciated dialogue between hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's disease, and menstruation—and uncover what your cycle might be signaling.From heavy or unpredictable bleedings to the months when your period vanishes altogether, thyroid dysfunction can cast a long shadow across your reproductive health. We explore how:Low thyroid levels can lead to irregular or heavy periods, or even amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation)Hashimoto's flare-ups may spike around certain phases of your menstrual cycle, intensifying fatigue, mood shifts, and symptom burden The immune system, hormones, and inflammation conspire to shift your cycle in ways you might not expectPremature ovarian insufficiency and perimenopause signals may intersect with Hashimoto's, influencing fertility and hormonal balanceThere is hope and strategy: how targeted thyroid care, cycle tracking, and lifestyle interventions can help steady the tidesIf your menstrual rhythm feels off—or if thyroid treatment hasn't given you the harmony you expected—this is the conversation you don't want to miss.

I am delighted to connect with a physician friend and colleague, Dr. Heather Hirsch, today. Dr. Hirsch is an entrepreneur and a board-certified internist by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is also the Founder and CEO of Health by Heather Hirsch, and has a telemedicine practice offering best-in-class individualized care for perimenopause and menopause. In our discussion, we explore heavy menstrual cycles and the benefits of journaling and shared decision-making. We discuss common and frustrating causes of weight loss resistance in middle age, the power of strength training and adequate protein intake, and estrogen as a metabolic regulator that is intricately linked to many physical systems, including digestion. We also examine how educating clinicians on shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during perimenopause could prevent countless ER visits, and we tackle concerns surrounding contraception and pregnancy prevention in perimenopause, a biopsychosocial approach to low libido, and the often-overlooked silent symptoms Dr. Hirsch often sees in perimenopause and beyond. Today's conversation with Dr. Hirsch is truly invaluable. I highly recommend her Perimenopause Survival Guide, written by an internal medicine doctor extremely well-versed in perimenopause and menopause. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How hormonal fluctuations disrupt the body and create confusion in perimenopause The benefits of journaling  How hormonal and lifestyle shifts disrupt metabolism, weight, and insulin sensitivity during perimenopause Why body composition changes matter more than your weight How declining estrogen affects insulin resistance, metabolism, and diabetes risk The value of shared decision-making  How hormones, medications, sleep, relationships, and past trauma can cause changes in libido  How siloed healthcare often leaves perimenopause symptoms misunderstood  How irregular ovulation increases pregnancy risk and why hormone therapy is not a contraceptive Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Heather Hirsch On her website YouTube  Social media: @Heather Hirsch MD

"[T]he waiting period is just an artificial delay on possession" (p. 20), "a standardless, temporary disarmament measure" (p.21) according to the Republican federal appeals court judges on the 10th Circuit, appointed by Trump and Bush. This is part 2 of a multi-part series following the injunctive relief individuals got on 19 August 2025, when the US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Democrat Legislature in New Mexico on the 7-day "cooling off period" wait for firearms. And the 3 judge panel split along Republican/Democrat lines , 2 to 1, with both George W. Bush and Trump Republicans on the same side of the Constitution against an Obama judge. Here's a link to the decision. For some reason, the text I was reading on the podcast didn't display properly on the recording, but you can follow along here. https://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/files/opinions/010111284574.pdf We begin that story in a mulit-part part series here on The Republican Professor podcast.

Summary Are your symptoms really coming from a “broken body”—or are they actually a brain habit? In this episode, Ali breaks down the science of neuroplastic symptoms (sometimes called TMS or mind-body symptoms) and explains why real, physical sensations like pain, fatigue, gut issues, and dizziness can persist even without structural damage. You'll learn how the brain's danger pathways work, why symptoms become a habit, and how fear and avoidance keep the cycle alive. Drawing on Alan Gordon's “false alarm” framework, Ali shares simple, practical ways to rewire your brain's response—so symptoms lose their power and your nervous system learns safety again. If you've been stuck in the endless cycle of symptoms, worry, and searching for answers, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a roadmap for healing.   Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms are real—but they're created by the brain's danger pathways, not by structural damage. Fear and attention fuel the cycle: every time you monitor or worry, the brain reinforces the symptom as “important.” Symptoms become a habit loop—just like a song stuck in your head, the brain gets good at producing them through repetition. Alan Gordon's false alarm analogy helps explain why symptoms are real but not dangerous—the alarm is sounding, but there's no fire. Healing is possible: by reducing fear, processing emotions, and re-engaging in life, you can rewire your brain and teach it safety.   Ali's Resources:  Calm the Chaos: Practical Tips and Tools for Stopping Anxiety in It's Tracks Course!

Summary In this episode of the Ali Damron Show, Ali discusses the pervasive issue of anxiety, sharing her personal experiences and insights gained from working with patients over the years. She emphasizes that anxiety is not a character flaw but a learned brain pattern that can be unlearned through understanding and practical strategies. The conversation covers the science behind anxiety, the importance of emotional expression, and actionable steps to engage with life despite anxiety. Ali encourages listeners to practice self-compassion and to view anxiety as a protective mechanism rather than a debilitating condition. Takeaways Anxiety manifests differently for everyone, both physically and mentally. Understanding anxiety as a learned behavior can empower individuals to change their responses. Neuroplasticity allows us to unlearn anxiety and create new brain pathways. Labeling anxiety as a false alarm can help diffuse its power. Allowing feelings of anxiety without resistance is crucial for healing. Engaging in life despite anxiety is essential for personal growth. Emotional expression is key to processing underlying feelings that contribute to anxiety. Self-compassion is vital in the journey of overcoming anxiety. Avoidant behaviors reinforce anxiety; facing fears is necessary for progress. Practicing small steps towards facing anxiety can lead to significant changes. Sound bites "Anxiety is not a character flaw." "Label it as a false alarm." "Self-compassion is key."

"I've found that athletes vastly underestimate their [energy] needs," shares Heather Caplan RDN, co-founder of Lane 9, in this Q&A-style episode.  Listen for this one if you're wondering... How often is it okay to have sweet things/desserts? Is it possible to have REDs without weight loss/changes? Why am I not getting my period back, even though I'm eating a lot more? This one tackles flexibility with food, decades of carb-fearing and how it probably still impacts what most people eat on a daily basis...even in sports, weight stigma in athletics and the variety of REDs symptoms, and what "a lot" might actually mean, when it comes to eating for energy availability.  Have your own question to submit to Lane 9 for a future episode or resource?
