What do you do when your body forces you to hit pause?In this episode, I share my recent battle with back pain that quite literally knocked me off my feet. From the frustration of not being able to move, to sitting with a spinal specialist and hearing words like ‘bulging discs', it's been a humbling reminder that none of us are invincible.I'll talk about the treatments I've considered, the mental rollercoaster of dealing with injury, and the gratitude I've found through support from family, friends, and my community. More than anything, this experience has shown me that setbacks can become powerful opportunities to learn, adapt, and move forward in a smarter way.If you've ever felt stuck by injury or just life, I think this conversation will give you some perspective you can carry into your own journey.Episode Timeline:0:00 – Episode Preview 1:32 – Podcast Intro2:43 – Back pain knocks me down3:25 – How it happened (ego lifting + deadlifts)5:10 – Living with pain and frustration7:15 – Overwhelmed by too many treatment options9:40 – “Even professionals get confused”11:30 – Nobody has it all together13:55 – MRI results explained simply16:20 – Considering regenerative medicine18:40 – Lessons in gratitude and ego22:30 – Training smarter with core stability26:00 – Injuries as opportunities to pivot28:45 – Learning to be vulnerable and ask for help30:45 – Community support and closing thoughts30:45 – Podcast OutroLinks & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben's coaching program: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgT Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@bodysystemscoaching Book Free Nutrition Strategy Call - https://bodysystems.com/free-strategy-call/

In this episode of ⁠Pushing Forward with Alycia⁠, I sit down with the Honorable ⁠Tony Coelho⁠, retired U.S. Congressman and the principal author of the ⁠Americans with Disabilities Act⁠, for a conversation that reaches far beyond disability policy. It's a history lesson, a civics class, and a moral compass all in one thirty minute session. As a nation founded in defiance of oppression and animated by the promise of freedom, we need the values in this conversation now—dignity, equal access, and the courage to stand up to power with truth and love. This is not just a disability story; it's a blueprint for renewing the American experiment. Tony's story is America's story: perseverance in the face of stigma, faith in community, and courageous, bipartisan coalition-building that turned lived experience into law. He reminds us that the ADA wasn't a gift; it was won through testimony, organizing, and unlikely alliances that honored human dignity over party lines. He also offers a clear charge for today: rights on paper are meaningless without enforcement, and opportunity is the measure of whether our promises are real. As we begin our celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) let us remember we can't afford to ignore the warnings of our past. If we don't learn from history, we are bound to repeat it.

She shares her own journey from evolutionary psychologist to outspoken women's health advocate, explaining why synthetic progestins are not the same as progesterone, how birth control affects your immune system, and why teenagers may be especially vulnerable to its mental health effects.If you're a woman in your teens, 20s, 30s, or 40s—or a parent guiding your daughter—this episode could change the way you think about hormone health, fertility, and your body's natural rhythms.Dr. Hill and Dr. Taz discuss:How birth control changes the brain's structure and functionThe difference between progesterone and synthetic progestins (and why it matters)Why “bikini science” has failed women in medical researchThe surprising link between birth control and partner attractionThe immune system's hidden connection to hormonal cyclingTeen mental health risks: depression, anxiety, and brain developmentSafer contraceptive choices and how to support your body if you use the pillHow nutrition and micronized progesterone might help offset side effectsThis conversation is more than just information — it's a wake-up call for how we study, prescribe, and support women's health.Topics Covered:Hormonal birth control's impact on the brainSynthetic hormones vs. bioidentical hormonesPartner choice and relationship satisfaction researchAutoimmunity and immune system differences in womenMental health risks for adolescent usersNon-hormonal birth control optionsNutritional and hormonal support strategiesConnect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.About Dr. Sarah E.

On realizing that 'good' is actually more than enough, and the joy of letting go of the exhausting pressure we place on ourselves.  (0:00) – Heather Campbell's Journey and Achievements (2:17) – Sharon Salzberg's Praise and Heather's Book (7:22) – Ready, Set, Recover: Heather's Initiative (12:22) – Heather's Personal Journey and Overachievement (21:53) – Parenting and Balancing Life (27:54) – Naming Inner Critics and Coping Strategies (44:13) – Heather's Book and Its Impact (45:43) – Final Thoughts and Encouragement Heather Campbell is a writer, motivational speaker, and CEO dedicated to making people feel seen, heard, and celebrated. As co-founder of Ready Set Recover, and former senior executive at ESPN and Audacy, she intimately understands the toll of overachievement—and the liberation that comes from letting go. Campbell holds an MBA from NYU, a BA from the University of Wisconsin, and after nearly 30 years in NYC now lives in the Berkshires with her husband, children and their dog, Tobin. Heather A. Campbell's New Book, Good Is Amazing, challenges the Culture of Overachievement and Champions the Power of Good. What if striving to be “the best” is what's actually holding us back? In a world obsessed with unicorns, GOATs, and relentless self-improvement, Heather A. Campbell delivers a refreshing—and bold—reframe: good is not just enough. Good is amazing. The relatable, hilarious, and heartfelt moments from her life—like when her mom begged her to become President of the United States, or when an ESPN executive casually told her to “just make the book a New York Times bestseller,” anchor a deeper message: the constant pressure to aim higher, do the most, and be the best is exhausting—and it's not working. With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Campbell invites readers to consider a radical idea: What if stopping the chase for perfection and instead embracing good—the joy, simplicity, and genuine satisfaction it brings—is the real secret to success? Each chapter blends real talk, personal insight, and simple, actionable steps to help readers slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what really matters. Parents, professionals, students, caregivers, entrepreneurs—anyone burdened by the relentless pursuit of perfection—will find powerful inspiration here.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that has been on my mind for quite some time: embracing who God made you to be, learning to love yourself, and recognizing your ability to influence others. This conversation is crucial, especially for Christian women, as it often gets overlooked in our discussions about faith and identity. I start by referencing a statistic shared by entrepreneur Cody Sanchez, which suggests that women who wear makeup tend to earn significantly more than those who don't. This leads us into a broader discussion about the pressures women face regarding their appearance and how these societal expectations can conflict with our Christian values. I emphasize that while looking presentable can have its benefits, true influence comes from authenticity and a heart that reflects the love of Jesus. Ready to finally arrive in your promise land? Tired of going around the promise, and near the promise, but never feeling like you actually enter the land?? The answer could be in learning God's way a little deeper. You can't access what you don't understand...and this is where the Kingdom Leaders Community comes in.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEThis one's a permission slip and a plan. Today we take Main Character Energy to its next expression—your Icon Era—not as a persona, but as a practice. If you've been overthinking, people-pleasing, or waiting to “feel ready,” this episode hands you language, rituals, and boundaries that build so you can live like the woman your future is already clapping for.We'll get crystal clear on what your Icon Era looks, feels, and sounds like, then rewrite the tired scripts that keep you auditioning for your own life. You'll learn how self-love + standards + clean boundaries create the ecosystem that attracts what actually aligns—in love, work, family, and friendships. Expect reflective prompts, on-air mini exercises, and simple, repeatable habits that make confidence radiate (not spike and crash).By the end, you'll have a one-line identity statement, a powerful script rewrite, and a tiny daily habit to lock it into your body. This is about alignment over performance, clarity over chaos, and relationships that feel like home. Crown on. Let's step in.KEY TAKEAWAYSICON ERA = ALIGNMENT + EXPRESSION + STANDARDS. Not performance. Live from values, not for validation.BECOME YOUR LOVE STORY FIRST. Self-respect replaces craving; self-honor replaces people-pleasing.REWRITE YOUR SCRIPT. Old line → Icon Rewrite → one body-level action today. Language first, life next.BOUNDARIES THAT BUILD. Clarity is kindness. Standards filter for you and protect your peace.HABITS MAKE IDENTITY STICK. Tiny, repeatable moves turn Main Character Energy™ into muscle memory.CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction: Embrace Your Icon Era00:36 Defining Your Icon Era01:17 Main Character Confidence Checklist02:08 Living Your Icon Era03:32 Personal Journey and Realizations08:06 Becoming Your Love Story First11:33 Rewriting Your Script17:14 Attracting What You Deserve21:38 Habits of an Icon25:14 Self-Love Two Step28:01 Designing Your Icon Era31:30 Conclusion: Keep ShiningTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: THE SPOTLIGHT SWITCHWhen you catch yourself second-guessing, over-explaining, people-pleasing, or letting someone else's reply decide your mood, flip this two-step. It pulls you out of performing and back into Main Character Energy, moving you from overthinking to aligned action in under two minutes. Use it before you text back out of anxiety, before an automatic yes, or whenever your peace feels negotiable. One switch and you're back in the role you already own.STEP 1 — CAST YOURSELF (Presence → Power) Pause. Hand to heart. Ask: “If I loved myself loudly right now, what would I do next?” Do the 90-second version—send the email, pour the water, take the walk, say the boundary.STEP 2 — COLLECT RECEIPTS (Proof → Confidence) Write two micro-wins from today. Icons don't wait for miracles; they measure momentum.Use it anytime. Reps create identity. Identity creates calm. Calm creates radiant confidence you don't have to perform. Crown on.

The latest developments surrounding Ozempic and weight loss continue to generate major interest and headlines, especially with new research and high-profile figures like Oprah Winfrey sharing personal experiences. In the past week, new clinical trial data and ongoing cultural conversations have kept this topic at the forefront.Researchers have revealed that a daily pill version of semaglutide—the active ingredient in Ozempic—can deliver weight loss results comparable to injectables. According to reporting in The New England Journal of Medicine, participants in a 64-week trial who took oral semaglutide lost over 16 percent of their baseline body weight, while those on a placebo lost just 2.7 percent. More than a third of those on the Ozempic pill achieved at least a 20 percent weight reduction. These findings indicate that more convenient alternatives to weekly injections could soon be available for people seeking medical weight management. Cardiovascular risk factors and physical function also improved among those taking the new pill, further supporting its potential for broader approval later in the year.While Ozempic is widely recognized for its effect on appetite—helping users feel full sooner and eat less—the discussion about its effectiveness versus other weight loss methods also remains active. Recent clinical data suggest that surgery still leads to substantially greater average weight loss over time. At New York University, researchers found that patients receiving bariatric surgery lost about 25 percent of their body weight over two years, compared to approximately 5 percent for those sticking with GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic. Factors such as medication adherence and long-term commitment play a massive role in these outcomes. In fact, studies estimate that up to 70 percent of patients may discontinue their weight loss medications within the first year. Experts say this underscores the importance of treating obesity as a chronic and complex disease rather than seeking a one-size-fits-all solution.Oprah Winfrey continues to shape the public conversation about medical weight loss, drawing both criticism and admiration for her openness and candor this week. On her podcast, Oprah confirmed she has used a GLP-1 agonist—though not specifying Ozempic by name—to quiet her mind's “food noise” and help manage her weight. She explained that the drug's effect of mimicking a natural hormone made her realize many people are not waging an internal battle with cravings but simply respond to true hunger and fullness cues. For decades, Oprah says she blamed herself for her struggles, thinking thinness was a matter of willpower or discipline, only to learn that biological predisposition can override even the strongest effort.As she approaches her seventieth birthday, Oprah's primary focus is on maintaining her health and vitality, not just the numbers on the scale. She has emphasized that the medication is one tool in a regimen that includes rigorous exercise, structured meal times, hydration, and dietary principles. In a recent interview, she stressed that there's no shortcut: she hikes daily, counts Weight Watchers points, and drinks a gallon of water each day. Oprah encourages listeners to understand that obesity is a disease based in the brain, and that shame and blame are harmful and misguided. The backlash she faced for admitting she takes medication—some critics say it is the “easy way out”—reflects larger societal debates about medical interventions, with Oprah herself challenging that narrative by sharing her experience of hard work and self-acceptance.Medical experts interviewed in national outlets continue to say that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic can help people lose between 15 to 20 percent of their body weight when paired with lifestyle changes like healthy eating and physical activity. They caution that success is not just about taking a weekly injection or pill but requires sustained adherence and behavioral support. Side effects like nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain remain a consideration, and patients are advised to consult closely with their health care providers.Meanwhile, innovation in obesity management is accelerating. The upcoming oral formulations of semaglutide and similar molecules could make therapy more accessible and acceptable to a wider population. However, newer approaches, like targeting metabolic pathways beyond appetite control, are on the horizon and may ultimately change how weight is managed over the long term.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

In this episode, the Guy welcomed David Hulse to delve into the fascinating world of energetics and frequency. David Hulse, an ex-minister with profound insights into spirituality and energy work, shared his journey and how he transitioned from traditional religious teachings to exploring quantum physics and vibration healing. The conversation touched upon the human body's connection to universal energy, the significance of tuning forks in energetic healing, and the concept of transitioning from 3D to 5D consciousness. David emphasized the importance of working towards breakthrough rather than merely fixing what's breaking down and provides insight into how vibrations and frequencies can facilitate deep spiritual and physical healing. The episode offers a holistic perspective on contemporary spiritual awakening and practical tools for harnessing energy for self-healing. About David: David Hulse, C.V.S.M.T.

David's ability to gather all the fragments of truth from many different disciplines helps bring all of your experiences up to now into focus.

In this week's MindBody TV, I'm sharing one of the hardest and most transformative experiences of my life, and how it taught me to stop fighting, stop fixing, and remember the truth of who I really am. We've all been there: life falls apart, things don't go the way we planned, and every part of us wants to hold tighter to the fear. The ego will tell you to protect yourself, to fight harder, to do more. But what if the breakdown is actually an invitation into something higher? I'll take you through my personal story of dissolving old patterns, releasing judgment, and remembering that life is always reflecting back exactly what we need to awaken. If you're in the middle of struggle, or if you've been asking why things aren't working, this message is for you. You are not separate from love. You are not broken. And when you begin to trust what's unfolding, even when it feels excruciating, you create the space for miracles.
