In “How the Church Moves,” Caleb Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 5 about becoming a healthy church that moves with purity, responsibility, and honor. From caring for people in need and providing for our families to honoring accountable leaders, working hard, staying connected to Christ, and caring for our whole selves, this message challenges us to leave autopilot faith behind and live intentionally through wholehearted surrender to Jesus.

"If I can't say no to the Big Mac, or if I can't get my body to move intentionally, there's an element of self-mastery I don't possess. And so therefore I cannot give." ~ Chase CrouseWhat does John Paul II's Theology of the Body actually have to do with skipping the gym or ordering the Big Mac?Why might chasing your old "glory days" workout be the exact thing keeping you from getting healthier now?What's the real difference between comparing yourself to a fitness influencer and imitating a saint?In episode 107 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea sit down with Chase Crouse, founder of Hypuro Fit, a Catholic fitness and nutrition coaching platform built to help people grow in strength, discipline, and virtue. Chase served as a missionary with Net Ministries before earning degrees in biblical theology, and he shares the exact moment reading John Paul II's Theology of the Body that changed how he saw exercise entirely: the realization that self-donation is impossible without self-mastery, and that gift of self to God and others requires a body and will that are actually trained to give.From there, the conversation moves into the practical side of that theology. Chase breaks down why so many people fail to build a fitness habit, either chasing an all-or-nothing intensity from their athlete days or never having built any tolerance for discomfort at all, and introduces the idea of minimal effective dosing, doing the least amount necessary to get real results rather than burning out on unsustainable extremes.Kenna and Chase also dig into the difference between comparison and imitation, why social media makes fitness advice feel like hard science when it's actually full of nuance, and how the Catholic tradition has always framed imitation, of Christ and the saints, as the true goal rather than something to feel shamed by. Chase closes with the one piece of practical wisdom he gives every client trying to build a healthier morning routine.This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered if caring about their physical health is a distraction from their spiritual life, or anyone looking for permission to start smaller than they think they need to.Chapters:(00:00) - Cold Open(00:30) - Welcome and Meet Chase Crouse(02:42) - High and Hard: Postpartum Health and a New Book Launch(17:08) - From Personal Training to Founding Hypuro Fit(18:36) - The Theology of the Body Lightbulb Moment(28:17) - Why Habits Are Hard and the Power of Minimal Effective Dosing(39:35) - Filtering Fitness Advice: Comparison vs Imitation on Social Media(53:33) - Sleep, Prayer, and a Final Challenge by ChoiceLinks and Resources:Chase Crouse and Hypuro Fit - https://www.hypurofit.org/Sanctify Your Day: A Structure to Live an Intentional, Healthy, and Holy Life - https://sophiainstitute.com/product/sanctify-your-day/The God of Endurance: A Practical Guide for Incorporating Exercise and Nutrition into Your Spiritual Journey - https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-god-of-endurance/Support the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

For forty-five episodes now, Jacqueline and I have gone deep into the inner life — the emotional, the mental, the spiritual. Shadow, protectors, forgiveness, consciousness. We love that terrain. But if you spent an ordinary day with us, you'd notice something we almost never talk about on this show: a huge amount of our life is physical. The training, the running, the food, the recovery. The body.So we're going to lighten it up a little today. Because the truth is, keeping this vessel running well might be one of the most foundational things we do — not separate from the spiritual work, but underneath it. You can't transmit or receive a clear signal through a neglected instrument. Today we want to talk about our genuine passion for health and fitness — as two people each becoming more whole, and as a couple and a family doing it together.What changed for us — why, after a lifetime of being “healthy,” did we both get truly disciplined these last few years? What happens to your emotional and mental state when you start doing hard things on purpose? And how did this become something that draws us and our whole family together?All of this and more in the next hour.

What makes great executives stand out? I'm thrilled to share Part 1 of a 3-part series that will explore the foundations of positive leadership. Throughout this special set of episodes, I will be sharing the stage with Kevin Ford, the award-winning CEO of Calian who recently stepped down. In this episode, Kevin and I start the conversation by taking an honest look at why leading yourself matters most. We unpack the critical role of self-awareness, sharing a powerful personal journey that moved Kevin from early-career overconfidence to the life-changing benefits of welcoming tough feedback.We also discuss insightful research, amplified with real-life examples that makes the case that self-awareness isn't soft. Our discussion touches on structured approaches (like 360 reviews) and everyday, observational cues that help leaders read the room and adjust in real time. We reframe humility as a leadership strength, curiosity as the operational side of great leadership, and positivity as the superpower needed to weather today's challenges.If you're searching for ways to advance your leadership, build resilience, and foster authentic relationships, this episode provides an actionable roadmap to transform self-awareness from a buzzword into your most valuable asset.What You'll Learn- Self-Awareness is foundational- Feedback is a gift: Receive it well- Embracing (tough) feedback, can be transformative.- Make time for self-reflection.- Curiosity is operationalized humility.- Positive energy matters, especially in tough times.- Legacy is about the journey.

The Department of Defense made headlines when it announced plans to test testosterone levels in active military members. The debate that followed was loud, political, and almost entirely missed the point. Jenni and Daniel are not interested in the political conversation. They are interested in the clinical one, and in this episode they take a current news story and do what they do best: strip away the noise and get to what actually matters. They start with the basics. Testosterone is not simply a marker of masculinity- it is a marker of health. Vitality. Mood. Cognitive clarity. The capacity to make good decisions under pressure. Too high creates its own problems. Too low, which is far more common, particularly in high-stress, sleep-deprived environments like military service, produces depression, fatigue, irritability, and a creeping sense that something is fundamentally off. Daniel's phrase for it, borrowed from their recent conversation with Dr. Rachel Rubin, says it precisely: I don't feel like myself. But the number alone tells you almost nothing. A reading of 450 might have one man feeling like he's on top of the world and another quietly falling apart. Context matters. Individual baseline matters. And the systems surrounding that number- sleep, stress, relationships, mental health, nutrition and physical strength matter as much as the hormone itself. Testing testosterone without addressing those systems is, as Daniel puts it, throwing a pill at a very complex situation. Jenni brings women into the conversation and makes the case that hormonal testing is not a male-only issue. She shares her own experience discovering her testosterone was in the basement despite being a muscular, physically active person, and explains why estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone together form the constellation that optimizes women's physical, sexual, and mental health. She makes the point that neither testosterone nor estrogen belongs exclusively to one gender- men need estrogen, women need testosterone, and balance is individual, not categorical. Daniel ties it back to the bio-psychosocial model- the framework that Jenni and Daniel have built their entire clinical practice around. You can test the biology. But if the psychology is suffering (anxiety, depression, unprocessed trauma) and the social dimension is broken, (relationships in conflict, connection absent isolation growing), the biology will follow. Each system pulls on the others. Fix the sleep and the testosterone improves. Improve the testosterone and the irritability decreases. Decrease the irritability and the relationship gets better. The relationship getting better reduces stress. The stress reduction improves sleep. You pull one string and it moves another one. They close with the thing that surprises most people when they say it out loud: the antidote to stress is connection. Not a supplement. Not a number. Not a protocol. The ratio of connection to disconnection in your life is one of the most powerful health metrics available- and it's the one almost nobody tracks. This episode is for veterans and first responders. It's for anyone who has wondered why they don't feel like themselves. It's for women who have never been told to test their testosterone. It's for men who didn't know that low testosterone looks like depression. And it's for anyone who has been waiting for someone to say that their relationships, their sleep, their stress load, and their hormones are not separate conversations- they are one conversation, and it starts here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Peter Dionisopoulos is a physical therapist and performance rehabilitation specialist focused on injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization. He emphasizes the value of finding the right exercise threshold where discomfort exists but pain doesn't, and the importance of progressive exposure to stress in a safe manner to build resiliency.  He shares that different body types have genetic predispositions toward certain movement patterns, the need for individualized approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, and the significance of maintaining fitness levels even during recovery from injuries or surgery. Pete explains his approach at Dynamic Performance Rehab, which bridges basic rehabilitation with performance enhancement to help people achieve optimal function rather than just returning to normal.

The Brain–Body Connection, Gut Health, Stress, and Medical Gaslighting: board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Susan Trachman, author of “It's Not Just In Your Head,” about psychosomatic medicine and the two-way brain–body connection. Trachman explains how patients with complex symptoms are often dismissed as having “medically unexplained symptoms” and discusses medical gaslighting, especially affecting women and people of color, with examples of missed diagnoses. She describes how inflammation, the gut microbiome, leaky gut, diet, probiotics, fermented foods, and even fecal transplants can influence mood and health, and reviews vagus nerve stimulation research. The conversation covers stress effects, including Takotsubo “broken heart” cardiomyopathy, CBT for anxiety, IBS, and pain, the role of sleep and the brain's glymphatic system, pandemic-related mental health and long COVID symptoms, concerns about GLP-1 drugs causing emotional flatness, and careful SSRI tapering to avoid withdrawal.

Key Takeaways Growth should be a lifelong pursuit, not limited to physical development during youth. Like a tree, human growth occurs both internally (mindset, knowledge, health) and externally (relationships, emotions, physical appearance). Overemphasis on external, visible growth at the expense of internal growth leads to instability and lack of purpose. A strong internal foundation — rooted in values and self-improvement — enables greater and more meaningful external impact. Environmental challenges (adversity, hardship) affect but do not have to stop growth.

Send us Fan Mail Leadership doesn't fall apart because you lack ambition. It falls apart when your body and mind are so depleted that your “drive” turns into irritability, brain fog, and survival-mode decisions. We sit down with Matt Jacques, an Australian Navy veteran and the co-founder and director of Neptune Holdings Group in Darwin, to get honest about the link between physical health and great leadership and what it really takes to sustain high performance without burning out. Matt shares the moments when stress, injuries, and a toxic leadership environment collided and his health crashed, forcing a hard reset. We talk about what changed when he stopped putting everyone else first, rebuilt daily discipline, and made movement the first win of the day. Along the way, we unpack why motivation is unreliable, why discipline beats motivation, and how simple routines can bring back clarity, patience, and better decision-making for any manager, founder, or team lead. We also go practical on leadership systems: defining vision, mission, and values at the team level, setting standards and expectations, and using reflection plus accountability to improve outcomes. Matt explains why “everything is your fault as the leader” is not shame, it's ownership and it creates the power to fix what's broken. If you care about executive health, sustainable performance, burnout prevention, and values-based leadership that works across generations, you'll take notes.

Most people think addiction is about the substance. Alcohol. Porn. Nicotine. Gambling. Food.It's not. It's about the brain.Every hit floods your reward system with dopamine, the pursuit chemical.Your baseline drops, life dulls, and you chase a stronger hit  to feel normal.That's why researchers are studying Retatrutide, a weight-loss drug, after early signs that it may also quiet cravings and compulsive behaviors.But quieting a craving is not the same as rewiring the brain. Turn one urge down and the pull finds a new outlet.Can Retatrutide Help Addiction? The Science Behind Dopamine and Cravings

What can our evolutionary past teach us about living healthier, more connected lives today? In this episode, Monica sits down with Andie Edwards, creator of the popular Instagram account Ancestral Habits, to explore how hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution continue to shape our bodies, minds, and relationship with the natural world.Together, they discuss evolutionary mismatch, our biological need for nature, the importance of honoring natural rhythms, and what it means to apply ancestral wisdom in a modern world. They also explore the responsibility of communicating science on social media and Andie's perspective on artificial intelligence. It's a fascinating conversation about using our deep history not to return to the past, but to build a healthier, more aligned future.Show NotesAncestral Habits WebsiteAncestral Habits on Instagram Ancestral Habits on Substack Ancestral Habits at Home (PDF)biophilia, nature connection, human evolution, ancestral health, ancestral habits, anthropology, evolutionary mismatch, evolutionary biology, human behavior, natural rhythms, circadian rhythms, modern life, well-being, mental health, physical health, environmental psychology, science communication, social media, artificial intelligence, AI, biology, evolutionary medicine, ecology, resilience, holistic health, outdoor living, health and wellness, connection, sustainabilityBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

"I think my testosterone is low."Your drive isn't what it was. You don't feel like yourself.Here's what you're missing:It didn't start with your hormones. It started in your brain.When your brain gets overstimulated, it reduces its own dopamine levels. Real life goes quiet. The gym stops hitting. The man you were gets harder to find.The problem is that your reward system got miswired.And quitting alone isn't enough.You stop, and still feel flat. You have to rewire.In this video, Dr. Trish Leigh talks about: 

What if your child's behavior problem is not just a behavior problem?In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with Dr. Stacy Haynes, a licensed professional counselor, educator, speaker, author, and children's ministry leader, to discuss a truth every parent needs to understand:Mental health is physical health.Together, they explore how sleep, nutrition, movement, technology, family rhythms, and spiritual formation all shape the emotional and behavioral health of children—especially neurodivergent children.This is not a conversation about replacing counseling, diagnosis, medication, or professional care with “just eat better and exercise.” This is about seeing the whole child: body, mind, emotions, environment, and spirit.Coach Alex and Dr. Stacy discuss:Why children's behavior is often connected to physical wellnessHow sleep, hunger, blood sugar, and screen time affect emotional regulationWhy neurodivergent children may be more sensitive to food, tone, noise, and routineHow parents can support children without shame or fearWhy labels like ADHD or autism can be helpful when used wiselyHow churches can better support neurodivergent children and tired parentsWhy exercise helps regulate emotions, sleep, gut health, and anxietyHow to build healthier family rhythms around food, movement, screens, and restWhy technology should be treated as a privilege, not a rightHow parents can lead by example instead of trying to fix one child in isolationThis episode is especially helpful for parents, children's ministry leaders, teachers, coaches, and anyone who loves a child whose brain or body works a little differently.Your child is not a problem to solve.They are a person to steward, love, guide, and understand.And by God's grace, your family can build rhythms that help everyone flourish.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to Dr. Stacy Haynes01:14 – “Mental Health Is Physical Health”02:54 – Why Parents Need a Holistic View of Behavior04:13 – Dr. Stacy's Journey Into Counseling and Ministry05:35 – Children's Ministry, Trauma, and Positive Childhood Experiences08:48 – Coach Alex's Childhood, ACE Score, and Church as a Safe Place09:51 – Dr. Stacy's Heart for Children With Autism11:14 – Why Labels Can Help When Used Wisely12:18 – Releasing Fear Around Diagnosis14:24 – Making the Most of How God Made Your Child16:52 – Dysregulation: What It Looks Like in Kids18:50 – Blood Sugar, Breakfast, and Behavior20:08 – What Sugar Can Do to a Neurodivergent Child's Day22:01 – Children's Ministry Lessons From Neurodivergent Kids25:20 – How to Talk With Parents Without Shame26:26 – Helping Parents Become Detectives29:01 – Dandelions, Orchids, and Different Kinds of Resilience33:48 – Sabbath, Rhythm, Rest, and Recovery35:17 – Exercise and Emotional Regulation37:44 – Exercise, ADHD, and the Brain40:36 – Leading by Example as a Family42:21 – Changing the Pantry and Building a Culture of Health43:12 – Christ Is in the Details of Family Rhythms47:24 – Screen Time, Technology, and Stewardship48:26 – Practical Technology Rules for Families51:40 – Replacing Screen Time With Connection55:28 – Rapid Fire: Three Things That Help Kids Quickly56:12 – What the Church Needs to Know About Neurodivergent Families56:39 – Encouragement for Parents Who Want to Shift57:07 – Closing PrayerJoin The Faithful 5k - August 15th!

Your plans, your gear, and your hard-won skills only work if the body running them actually holds up. From the cabin, we zoom out on “health” and make it brutally practical: your body is the most important tool you own, and everything else depends on how well you maintain it.We start with sleep as the master variable. When sleep slips, everything slips with it: mood, patience, cravings, immunity, and decision making. We break down a few simple sleep hygiene levers that punch above their weight, like getting natural morning sunlight to set your circadian rhythm, building a real wind-down instead of treating bedtime like an on-off switch, and keeping your bedroom cold and genuinely dark so your body can drop temperature and recover.From there we get into food the way we think about self-reliance: single ingredient, real food, as close to the source as possible. We talk organic food without the hype, why glyphosate exposure concerns us, and why we prioritize grass-fed beef, wild game, and traditional cooking fats while avoiding industrial seed oils. We also touch on mold-tested coffee, daily movement built into life (not just a gym session), grounding, sunlight and vitamin D, reducing toxins in personal care products, and why clean filtered water matters.Finally, we tie it all together with something most people ignore: unplugging. Time outside, away from constant screens and noise, is a real nervous system reset, not a luxury. If you want a healthier, calmer, more capable life, start here.

You've quit before.A week. A month. Even 90 days.So why do you keep ending up back where you started?Most people think they're trying to quit porn.But they're really trying to change a brain that learned to depend on it.Because porn isn't just pleasure. It's a relief. That's why so many relapses feel confusing.And until you address the brain behind the behavior, recovery can feel like an endless cycle of starting over.How to Quit Porn Permanently

Samantha Rux joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to remind listeners that vacation time is more than a luxury — it can support better mental and physical health. Samantha Rux says time away, whether it's a trip, a staycation, or a long weekend, can improve mood, sleep, and productivity, with benefits lasting up to six weeks. She emphasized the importance of truly disconnecting from work by using out-of-office messages and relying on coworkers for support. Health experts suggest taking two vacations a year when possible.

You love your partner.So why does a screen feel more exciting than real life?Most people assume it's a relationship problem.But what if it's a brain problem?The brain adapts to what it experiences most.Scrolling. Short videos.Pornography.  Constant novelty.Over time, stimulation becomes the reward.And real-life connections can start feeling less exciting than they used to.Because your brain learned to chase novelty instead of connection.

In this powerful episode of Master Your Marriage, Sharla and Robert Snow explore one of the most misunderstood topics in relationships: forgiveness. They revisit the subject with fresh insights, addressing common misconceptions, the crucial difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and when it might actually be wise to move slowly on reconciliation — while still choosing internal peace.Through personal stories (including Sharla's transformational experience with ho'oponopono), real client examples, and science-backed research, you'll discover how forgiveness is something you do for yourself — not for the offender. Learn how to let go of resentment without losing your boundaries or compromising your safety.Whether you're working through a small rupture or a deep wound, this episode offers clarity, hope, and practical tools to help you find freedom.Key Takeaways:Forgiveness is an internal process — it does not mean forgetting, excusing, or reconciling.You can forgive someone and still maintain strong boundaries (or even choose not to reconcile).Your peace does not have to wait for the other person to change — that's living at cause.Unforgiveness carries real physical and mental health costs, but forgiveness offers powerful benefits.Resources Mentioned:Companion Episode: Ho'oponopono Forgiveness Meditation (available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts) and available here!Research & Further Reading:Toussaint, L.

Why does it feel like something is off?Your erections aren't as consistent.Pleasure doesn't hit the same.You feel less in control than you used to.Most men blame testosterone, age, or hormones.But the habit affecting all three is often overstimulation.Scrolling.

We focus on how grief can intensify anxiety and panic, and we discuss ways to stay supported during this time.We explain that grief is individual and does not follow a fixed timeline. We note that people may grieve differently depending on the relationship, the type of loss, and their own resilience. We also say that grief can apply to many kinds of losses, not only death.We then describe common grief reactions, including shock, numbness, anger, sadness, fear, and anxiety. We mention that physical symptoms can include insomnia, fatigue, and changes in appetite, and we encourage listeners to notice these responses without judging them.We offer practical ways to cope, including meditation, short stress breaks, music, aromatherapy, prayer, and other calming rituals. We also encourage maintaining social support, reaching out to others when needed, and paying attention to sleep, exercise, food, and rest.We close by encouraging journaling, doodling, crying, and other forms of emotional release. We emphasize that allowing feelings to move through can help the nervous system settle and support a return to calm.#Grief, #Anxiety, #PanicAttack, #Loss, #Bereavement, #Mourning, #MentalHealth, #EmotionalWellness, #GriefSupport, #AnxietyRelief, #OvercomingPanic, #ShockAndNumbness, #GriefAnger, #DealingWithSadness, #OvercomingFear, #DealingWithUncertainty, #InsomniaRelief, #Fatigue, #SelfCare, #DailyRoutine, #StressManagement, #StressRelief, #Meditation, #Mindfulness, #StressBreaks, #Aromatherapy, #PetTherapy, #InspirationalQuotes, #SocialSupport, #TherapyWorks, #GriefCoaching, #SupportGroups, #PhysicalHealth, #ExerciseForMentalHealth, #Journaling, #CreativeRelease, #EmotionalExpression, #LetItFlow, #CopingMechanisms, #HealingJourney, #NervousSystemRegulation, #EmotionalRelease, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You quit porn…But somehow you still feel off.Flat. Restless. Disconnected from real life.Because recovery is not just about stopping porn.It's about dopamine regulation.Scrolling. Gaming.Sports betting. Constant stimulation.Over time, your brain adapts to fast dopamine.So normal life starts feeling quieter.Focus drops. Motivation feels inconsistent. Real connection feels harder.In this video, Dr. Trish Leigh explains why recovery is not really about a “90-day reset.”It's about whether your brain relearns regulation.How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Porn Addiction?

Why does online poker feel impossible to stop?It's not just the money.It's the anticipation.The uncertainty.The feeling that the next hand could change everything.And online, the game never really ends.No stopping point. No real reset.Just one more hand. One more hit of stimulation.Over time, your brain adapts to that intensity.So now:slower moment feels dull, motivation feels inconsistent,and real life doesn't hit the same anymore.Not because you're lazy. Because your brain got used to faster dopamine loops.In this video, Dr. Trish Leigh explains how online poker activates the same reward circuitry involved in scrolling, gambling, pornography, and hyperstimulating digital habits.Why Online Poker Feels So Addictive (It's Not Just Money)

Send us Fan MailMen are facing a physical health crisis, and it is not just a medical issue. It is a spiritual, relational, and missional issue too. In this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, we talk about why physical health matters for men who want to stay engaged in their families, churches, communities, and calling.This conversation looks at rising concerns like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, poor sleep, sedentary habits, and unhealthy relationships with food. But the heart of the episode is not shame. It is stewardship. Men are body and soul, and what happens in the body affects energy, discipline, service, spiritual growth, and long term faithfulness.The challenge is simple: get in shape, stay in shape, never get out of shape. Not because physical training is ultimate, but because men are needed in the fight. Your body is a gift from God, and taking care of it is one way to stay ready for the life, leadership, and mission He has placed before you.
