Iowa is home to many lakeside beaches created to provide recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. Sand deposited at the water's edge for public access was found to behave differently than the rest of the lake environment, harboring potentially harmful bacteria concentrations during the summer months when beach going is most popular. In this episode, listen to how watershed improvement professionals from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, including host Jeff Berckes, adjusted their monitoring approach and found creative ways to diagnose and improve water quality at beaches across the state. About our guest: Jason Palmer is a Natural Resource Biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Water Quality Improvements Section.

So, you're trying to conceive. Or maybe you just really want to know what's going on with your cycle.  Either way, tracking your hormones throughout the month will give you so MUCH INFORMATION about your health, fertility and symptoms.  I had an amazing conversation with Rose MacKenzie, Medical Affairs Specialist at Mira, to discuss the best way to track your cycle and fertility.  We often hear about the infamous 28-day cycle, but the reality is, our cycles are unique, and ovulation isn't as predictable as we may think.  You are not fertile every day of the month. Pinpointing ovulation can be challenging without an accurate tracking system.  Mira is a modern fertility tracker that uses hormone testing to give you real-time insights into your cycle. Unlike traditional methods that might rely solely on temperature or symptoms, Mira tracks luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in your urine, giving you precise data about your ovulation. LH spikes right before ovulation, making it one of the most reliable markers for fertility. The tracker syncs with an app, allowing you to monitor your results over time. This can be especially helpful if you have irregular cycles or conditions like PCOS, as Mira will track your unique hormone fluctuations instead of relying on the average 28-day cycle. With this data, you'll be able to track your hormone levels throughout your cycle and identify trends. This is especially helpful for women who experience irregular cycles or have conditions like PCOS or endometriosis. If you've been struggling with irregular cycles, unexplained symptoms, or just want to optimize your health, Mira is a powerful tool to have in your corner. It's time to take control of your fertility journey—get started today! Get 15% OFF Mira products with code: DRBETH15 Let's connect!

Breaking the Growth Ceiling: How to Scale Your Business Without Working Harder    "What if you could reclaim 50% of your time and still grow your business? It's not about working harder; it's about working smarter and more intentionally." – Brandon Gano   Are you feeling trapped by the growth ceiling in your business, no matter how much effort you put in? What if the answer isn't working harder but working smarter? In this episode of Profit with a Plan, Marcia Riner sits down with visionary entrepreneur Brandon Gano, who shares his game-changing insights on breaking through business roadblocks. Learn how to identify the hidden issues that are holding your business back and discover strategies to scale your company without sacrificing your sanity or adding more hours to your workweek. If you're ready to take your business to the next level, this episode is a must-listen!   Host: Marcia Riner, Business Growth Strategist & CEO of Infinite Profit® Guest: Brandon Gano, Co-Founder of WhadIf   Key Topics Discussed: Where Growing Businesses Get Stuck: Many business owners hit a growth ceiling that feels impossible to break through. Brandon discusses the common pitfalls that businesses face and how these barriers can often be self-imposed. Instead of working harder, identifying and addressing hidden obstacles within the business can lead to breakthroughs. Pinpointing the Root Causes of Business Issues: Rather than assuming the solution lies in more leads or additional marketing spend, Brandon emphasizes the importance of diagnosing the real problems. He compares this approach to a doctor's diagnosis—asking the right questions and analyzing symptoms to find the true cause of issues, rather than jumping to drastic solutions. Scaling Beyond Current Limits Without Adding More Hours: The episode dives deep into how business owners can scale their operations without working themselves into the ground. Brandon introduces the concept of intentional business model design, which involves aligning all parts of the business to function seamlessly as a cohesive unit. By doing so, entrepreneurs can achieve growth without the burnout that typically accompanies expansion. Highlights: Diagnostic Tools: Brandon talks about a free diagnostic tool available on the What If website. This tool asks critical questions that help identify where business pain points and roadblocks are, offering a clearer path to resolution. Historical Business Insights: Brandon provides an interesting look into how the evolution of business structures since the Industrial Revolution has led to the common departmental silos and competition for resources that exist today. He explains how this historical context affects even small businesses and why a new approach is necessary. Practical Steps for Business Owners: The conversation offers practical advice, like conducting time studies to understand how business owners are spending their time. This self-awareness is a crucial first step in reallocating tasks and focusing on strategic growth activities. Takeaways for Business Owners: Evaluate Your Business Structure: Look at your business as a whole and identify areas where you may be acting as the bottleneck. Start considering ways to delegate tasks and build systems that allow your business to operate efficiently without your constant involvement. Adopt a Holistic Approach: Avoid seeing different functions (like marketing, sales, and finance) as separate entities. Integrate them to work towards a unified business goal. Plan for Serenity: Aim to build a business environment where serenity is part of the culture. Constant firefighting and crisis management are unsustainable. Focus on systems and training that empower your team to handle issues independently.

SAMHSA defines recovery as a “process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.” But how do you define recovery for yourself? Today, our hosts delve into the complexities of defining and understanding recovery in bipolar disorder. They discuss the constant struggle to distinguish between bipolar symptoms and “normal” mood fluctuations, the importance of self-directed recovery goals, and the role of medication. Dr. Nicole provides insights on what constitutes a "normal" mood, while Gabe, who lives with bipolar disorder, emphasizes the value of personalizing recovery journeys. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that challenges common misconceptions, offers practical advice, and empowers you to take charge of your mental health. Don't miss this essential guide to navigating life with bipolar disorder! To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the official episode page. "Recovery is complicated. It shouldn't be. You wouldn't think that it would be, but it is. And I think once we get comfortable with the idea that recovery is complicated, we can then get comfortable with the idea that recovery is personal. And once we get comfortable with the idea that recovery is personal, we can get comfortable with the idea that recovery is self-directed." ~Gabe Howard Resource Links:   https://store.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/pep12-recdef.pdf (shows entire pamphlet) https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/recovery (references definition) https://store.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/sma16-4958.pdf (pamphlet w/ dimensions of wellness) Our Host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder.

In this podcast, we're going to look at the root causes of inflammation and the best natural remedies for inflammation. Here are 10 common causes of inflammation. 1. Gluten consumption and food allergies Gluten can lead to a leaky gut, a condition where food particles leak through the small intestine. Leaky gut is one of the most common causes of inflammation. Pinpointing a food allergy can also help clear up gut inflammation. 2. Ultra-processed food ingredients Ultra-processed foods like synthetic sugars, modified food starches, and seed oils go through several industrial processes to the point that they no longer resemble their original form. These foods cause free-radical damage and inflammation in the body. 3. Viruses Viruses can go in and out of remission, causing inflammatory conditions that come and go. This is often triggered by stress which increases your cortisol levels, suppressing your immune system. Viruses can also block vitamin D. 4. Insulin resistance Frequent eating and carb consumption leads to insulin resistance. Most of the population is insulin-resistant. 5. Lack of cortisol Chronic stress over a long period and medications like Prednisone can lead to cortisol resistance. 6. Old injuries Lack of movement and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to inflammation. 7. Sludge in bile ducts Without adequate bile salts, bile sludge can back up into the liver causing right shoulder pain and rhomboid pain. This can be corrected by a healthy diet. 8. Too much iron This is typically caused by a genetic issue and is more common in men. 9. Hypoxia Conditions like COPD, cirrhosis of the liver, clogged arteries, and sleep apnea can cause hypoxia—a lack of oxygen. 10. Uric acid Uric acid is one of the most common causes of high blood pressure and comes from high fructose consumption. Here are the best remedies for inflammation: •Kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, or a probiotic •Vitamin D3 •Intermittent fasting and periodic prolonged fasting •Cruciferous vegetables and salads •Keto diet •Carnivore diet •TUDCA •Tocotrienols •Cold therapy •Stretching and exercise •Omega-3 fatty acids (cod liver oil, sardines, salmon)

It can be HARD work to pinpoint the roots of your struggles with porn or other addictions. However, its the KEY to long lasting healing and freedom. If you dont get to the roots, you will never change the fruit. If you never change the fruit, you will never experience the joy of Christ. Heres what I wrote in the DeepClean community: If your trauma and unmet needs have to do with things that DID NOT happen, it's going to be pretty hard to remember specific events that hurt you. Why? Because what was your "normal" is the very trauma you must pinpoint.Try this tweak: Think about the things you wish you had growing up (emotionally, physically, spiritually) and ask "how did not having that affect me?"Be really honest here AND PLEASE, consider it from a child's perspective, not your adult perspective. I want to dig deeper into this idea and unpack it in this episode. Get ready to learn about the best way to pinpoint trauma, the question you must ask yourself, the 6 needs of every child and the way parents must respond to help their kids feel safe **You can learn more about the DeepClean program and approach by booking a cal with our sales team completely free - secrethabit.ca/call *For more resources on recovery such as blogs, e books and podcasts, check out secrethabit.ca *Thanks to Adam Young for his amazing episode on the 6 needs of every child *Check out Shawns other episode on learning to pinpoint trauma here

With employee disengagement at alarming levels despite significant investments in training leaders in coaching skills, there's a pressing need to reevaluate and get practical about making coaching truly effective for people in managerial roles. This episode zeroes in on how to address this gap, introducing insights and tools for leaders to genuinely engage and empower their teams. Dominic Ashley-Timms, CEO of Notion, has firsthand experience across 37 countries, providing a fresh and nuanced perspective on leadership, culture, and organizational transformation. Having co-authored "The Answer Is a Question", Dominic brings an innovative approach to everyday coaching, rooted in the STAR® model he co-created. If you enjoy the show, please rate it on Spotify or iTunes. Your ratings help more people like you discover the podcast!  Episode Highlights The vital role of questions and their effectiveness. Crafting questions that stimulate constructive thought processes. Advanced questioning techniques for seasoned managers. External cues (also called triggers) and their role in influencing behavioral shifts. Molding triggers to fit seamlessly into a manager's coaching approach. Pinpointing moments ripe for coaching interventions. Addressing the knowledge gap in framing effective questions. The strategy behind intentional questioning. Exploring question facets: their classification, delivery, and timing. Varied question styles for clarity, comparison, and an outward focus. Emphasizing the need for pause, reflection, and then ask the right question. Dominic's view on the greatest unmet wellbeing need at work today "The issue is not so much about how we're being taught well-being; it's more about adapting our behavior and changing our mental models. We need to redefine what our roles are as managers. This is not just an individual conversation but also an organizational one. Within my company, we're facilitating discussions with leadership teams of major organizations to explore what they expect from their managerial layers. Unfortunately, many organizations aren't having this crucial dialogue. The goal should be to create an engaged, contributing workforce where people can operate at their highest level and feel valued for it. To achieve this, managers need to be skilled in fostering such an environment. When it comes to well-being, we all need to feel seen, acknowledged, and respected. Most management training programs focus on transactional skills; they're episodic and don't foster a continuous mindset shift. We need to move away from the traditional role of the manager as the "problem solver" or the one who "keeps the lights on." Instead, managers should enable their team members to give their best, inviting and valuing their contributions. This shift in behavior can lead to more trusting and engaging relationships with team members. When we started this work 15 years ago, we were often measured by improvements in engagement scores. It's not complicated—if you want to improve engagement, then engage more. However, many managers are so preoccupied with their task lists that they neglect the people-engagement aspect of their roles. We argue that reversing this trend has significant benefits, not just for teams, but also for managers. Adopting an operational coaching approach to management has been reported to reduce stress and create a more balanced work week. Recent research has even shown that the relationship with one's line manager has a greater impact on mental well-being than relationships with a spouse, pastor, or doctor. Considering the number of hours spent at work, it's easy to understand why a relationship with a manager can have such a significant impact on mental well-being. So, we are at an inflection point. If you are a line manager responsible for people, it's time to consider how you will engage differently in the next phase of your career." What “working with humans” means to Dominic “The tenets of management haven't really changed over the last century. When we examine organizations, we often refer to the workforce as a "resource." In consulting, it's termed "human capital management," and we have Human Resources departments. We haven't really moved beyond viewing humans merely as resources. We recently gave a significant talk in London about re-humanizing management. The focus is on helping managers understand that their role extends beyond merely ensuring that work proceeds. They are also there to engage the workforce and take them along on the journey. Working with humans is exactly that — if people aren't actively contributing to the work, there's no progress. If we were to ask ourselves what percentage of the available talent in our workforce we are truly tapping into, the answer might be unsettling.” Resources Follow: Dominic on LinkedIn Visit: Notion website Read: The Answer Is a Question For more episodes that give you fresh perspectives and actionable ideas for making working with other humans better for everyone, visit our website at https://en.peoplefocusconsulting.com/resources/podcast/ ©Michael Glazer

Out-of-body (OBE) explorer, Darius J Wright will shift the way you see reality. Is this a simulation? What are the 12 realms? And what mysteries lie beyond on the other side. Darius J Wright exposes the matrix, and what he came across in other multidimensional experiences and constructs. Darius J Wright is a prolific OBE explorer of the unseen realms beyond the physical. He is also a Seeker | Practitioner | Teacher | Philosopher. Since he was a small child, Darius has been “awake” to the nature of reality, experiencing things that others around him couldn't understand. Through years of practice and exploration, Darius has developed the ability to access the other side through the out of body state, unlocking the secrets of the unseen realms. At the age of 16, Darius had a life-changing encounter during sleep when he was taken outside of the physical construct by a being named Celeste. This event opened Darius's eyes to the vastness and realness of the other side, a realm where there are no limitations and one has the freedom to explore and experience anything imaginable. Since then, Darius has had numerous out of body experiences, delving into different dimensions and encountering various beings who have shared insights and information with him. Darius's journey has not only been about exploring the metaphysical realm, but also about the health of the body. He has delved into the depths of his own consciousness, awakening dormant abilities we all have access to. Through his personal experiences and interactions on the other side, Darius has gained deep insights into the nature of reality and beyond the physical realm. ___________________ PODCAST CHAPTER 00:00:00 - Darius J Wright Intro 00:04:02 - Accessing the Other Side 00:07:48 - Energy Protection + Accessing Different Realms 00:11:20 - Overcoming Fear and Emotional Blocks 00:15:01 - The 12 Realms 00:18:42 - The Experience in the Halls of Amenti 00:22:30 - Accessing Information During OBE, Stargates, Time Travel 00:26:04 - The Physical Body and Soul's Expression 00:30:12 - Seeing Beyond the Construct 00:34:08 - Exploring the Realms: Construct and Dimensional Spaces 00:38:01 - Pinpointing and Mapping the Out-of-Body Experience 00:42:09 - Soul Groups and Helpers on the Other Side 00:45:51 - The Earthly Realm as the Center of Creation 00:49:36 - The Existence of Portals 00:53:33 - The Exchange of Soul Currency on the Other Side 00:57:30 - The Effects of Near-Death Experiences on Technology 01:01:26 - The Celebration and the Event 01:05:27 - The Preset Event Markers of the Construct 01:09:33 - Awakening Dormant Abilities 01:13:20 - Finding Balance between Mind and Body 01:17:22 - Spiritual Warfare and Unconditional Love 01:25:13 - Overcoming Fear in the Astral Realm 01:28:51 - Focusing on What You Create ___________________ Guest: Darius J Wright, OBE Explorer Website | https://dariusjwright.com/ YouTube |  @dariusjwright  AYDA Method | https://dariusjwright.com/ayda-method/ Darius J Wright Library | https://dariusjwright.com/the-library/ Upcoming Events & OBE Workshops | https://dariusjwright.com/events/ Host: Emilio Ortiz ✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/ ___________________ Special Offerings to Support the Show: ✦ NEW!

During this episode, US Air Force Major Kara Masick discusses her thought-provoking article: 12 (Mis)Steps from Sober Assessments: Confessions of a Failed OIE Assessor. Our discussion covers her OIE assessment recovery journey. Like an alcoholic seeking sobriety by first admitting they have a problem and acknowledging where they've gone wrong, this essay is 12 confessions of her OIE assessment failures. During the discussion, she presents a new assessment metric that she calls: Most Likely Cause (MLC). Assessors should learn to think like an IT Helpdesk professional; like detectives discovering clues to find the most likely culprit, we can weigh relative likelihoods that our OIE had the effect compared to other potential causes.

On Today's EPISODE #299 we will cover:  ✔ A Deep Dive into Dr. Carolyn Leaf's 5 Scientifically Proven Steps to Clean Up Our Mental Mess, So We Can Help Ourselves, Others and Our Children (Preparing for Dr. Leaf's NEW Book Coming Out August 8th).  ✔ What to Expect in the 63 Day Neurocycle (from her APP) from Andrea's Experience of Breaking Down Her Own Toxic Thoughts. ✔ How This Scientifically Proven Process Breaks Down a Toxic Thought, and Reconceptualizes It into Something Healthy and Manageable. ✔ An Overview of the 5 Steps You Will Use to Manage Your Mind. ✔ What Tools and Strategies Stanford Professor Dr. Andrew Huberman suggests for improving anxiety and stress in our lives. ✔ Andrea's Thoughts on implementing these strategies for improved mental and physical health, with tools to create balance on a daily basis. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    As we have now hit more than halfway through this year, I want to look back to where we started in January. We opened up January 2023 and SEASON 9 with an episode that focused on “prioritizing our mental and physical health, improving self-awareness and resiliency”[i] with a quote from Julie Smith, and her book Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? She said “To me, working on maximizing our mental health is no different to working on our physical health.” Today, we are going to show just how true Julie Smith's concept of being mindful of our physical AND mental health is, and look at some strategies that we can all use immediately, for difficult times, so that we ALL keep our mental health at the forefront, with ideas for how we can use our mind to become resilient to stress. For today's episode #299, we are going back to the Basics, and reviewing EP #106[ii], from February 2021, where we covered a review of Dr. Carolyn Leaf's Neurocycle APP[iii] (that's scientifically designed to help manage and reduce anxiety, depression and mental ill-health by 81%) along with her book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, that we covered when we interviewed Dr. Leaf on a BONUS EPISODE[iv] back in 2021. I continue to release her episode every year, as her 5 STEP process to identifying, and breaking up toxic thoughts is unlike anything I've ever seen or tried myself. If anyone ever asks me “what do you recommend for getting rid of those ruminating thoughts, those worries, stresses or anxieties” that ALL of us feel at some point in our life, I always send over Dr. Leaf's interview, and let them know about her APP that's now called The Neurocycle APP, based on applying these 5 steps. Why Am I Revisiting Our Mental Health Now? After our last EP #298 with my friend and Neurocoach, Grace Reynolds[v], I mentioned that my girls were struggling with going back to school, and my youngest in particular, with a new school, no friends there, and an entirely new routine. I tried some of Grace's strategies with her to help bring her brain back to calm, but I quickly realized that I needed more help for her. I thought back to Dr. Leaf's episode, and wished she has steps for me to follow that I could walk my 12 year old through, so I went back to the Neurocycle APP on my phone, and thought that it might be a good time for me to revisit the 5 STEPS that she suggests can clean up ANY mental mess, helping us to manage thoughts that make us anxious, or depressed, and eliminate ANY toxic thoughts,  showing us how to take control of them, manage them, and break them down so that they don't have any control over us. We've all got these thoughts in our head, whether it's work worries, financial worries, family worries, I'm sure everyone can write down a bunch of CRAP they need to get out of their head. It's really quite an experience and I thought I'm definitely past due for cleaning up my own mental mess. I opened up my APP that I haven't used since the last time I had a problem I wanted to eliminate, and right there on the home page was an alert about Dr. Leaf's new book, coming out in days, called How to Help Your Child Clean Up Their Mental Mess: A Guide to Building Resilience and Managing Mental Health[vi] which covers scientifically-proven steps to help children ages 3-10 overcome unhealthy thinking habits and manage their mental health.  My wish was granted. In days, I'll have her new book, (it's coming out August 8th) and I'll share anything NEW she covers with how to help our children with their worries, keeping their minds peaceful, but until then, I've started a NEW 63-day Cycle, which is what Dr. Leaf recommends for eliminating ANY toxic thought that you have, anything that you know is taking away from your peace of mind, to see how I could work on my current worries, and be a stronger version of myself for my family.  When we can understand the 5 steps ourselves as parents, or teachers, and role model the way with our thoughts and behaviors, it's the first step towards showing our kids that there is nothing wrong with anxiety. It's not a bad thing. It's a signal to show us that we need to do something differently. Dr. Leaf said that she uses this system herself, and it's the way she manages her mind. If you look at Dr. Leaf you might think she looks somewhere in her 40s with her age, but it you follow her work, she goes back in time with her research, and shares she is around age 60. When we can manage our stress from the inside out, it does show up on the outside.   She shares “I truly believe that mental mess is something we all experience often,” and that it isn't something we should be ashamed of. This is my profession, and I still have to clean up my mind daily. The events and circumstances of life aren't going anywhere; people make a lot of decisions every day that affect us all, suffering of some sort for you and your loved ones is inevitable. That said, I wholeheartedly believe that although the events and circumstances can't be controlled, we can control our reactions to these events and circumstances. This is mind-management in action!” So for today's EP #299, I want to revisit my REVIEW of Dr. Leaf's 5 STEPS for Managing Our Mental Mess, and prepare for her NEW book coming out How to Help Your Child Clean Up Their Mental Mess: A Guide to Building Resilience and Managing Mental Health.[vii] This book is on pre-order right now, coming out August 8th.  If you do pre-order a copy, go to her website and register your order, and you will receive some bonuses, like a video that will prepare your kids for going back to school. This is JUST what I needed last week.  I've pre-ordered my copy and highly suggest you look at her new book, if you are like me, with young children, noticing the effects of stress, and anxiety on their developing brains. I hope you find this episode helpful, as I'll share NEW strategies that go much deeper than what we've ever done before with cleaning up our minds, with Dr. Leaf's 5 Step Approach to reducing our own anxiety, and improve our own self-regulation. Finally, we will look at strategies that Stanford Professor and neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman suggests we do in addition to Dr. Leaf's 5 steps, to make sure we are taking ALL the steps we can to increase our resilience to stress. Finally, once we've mastered these steps ourselves, we can role model the way for others in our life, like, our children, so they can do the same. CLEANING UP OUR MENTAL MESS IN 5 STEPS Today, in order to go deeper into the 5 steps than I covered in my first review of Dr. Leaf's program[viii] back in 2021, I'm going to offer insights from actually doing the FULL 63 days (which Dr. Leaf calls a Neurocycle) three times. I did one full cycle to eliminate, and better manage a problem that I'd say was once my biggest fear, and it's not at all anymore now that I look at my notes, and then use the APP to understand something about myself on a deeper level, more than any counseling that I've ever paid for, attended, and done the work for. What happens with this 63 day Neurocycle process is that once we identify a problem we want to “clean up” from our mind, we'll go through these 5 steps every day, for 63 days, and in this process, we conceptualize whatever it is that gives us an emotional charge. It never goes away, but whatever it is that brings you worry and anxiety, over time, will lose its energy and power over you, so that in essence are able to control your thoughts, keeping them healthy, instead of them controlling you, and bringing you dis-ease. Dr. Leaf's Neurocycle app, costs $14.99USD/month which is much less than any time I've actually paid a mental health expert for assistance. I'm not paid to endorse Dr. Leaf, I just interviewed her, and fully believe in her process. You can go through the steps in her APP, or even watch the steps herself from her YouTube channel[ix]. NOTE: Remember, I am not a medical doctor, and if you are struggling with your mental health, please do consult with a medical doctor. On this episode I'm not offering medical advice, but am sharing the results I've personally obtained from using the 5 STEP approach that Dr. Leaf suggests, from my point of view, in her book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess and using her Neurocycle APP. My hope is that it can help others, who might find themselves stuck, with some NEW ideas and strategies that I've used myself to access peace of mind, during times of high stress in my own life, with the goal that next, I'll be able to help my family to use these stress reduction strategies in their life, or for anyone who might be listening, and want to try them out for themselves.   63 DAYS TO BREAK DOWN A TOXIC THOUGHT The whole idea is that Dr. Leaf, from her years of research, suggests it takes 63 days to get rid of, and completely break down and eliminate a toxic thought. Day 1-21 you identify the thought you want to work on, (you'll know which one gives you the most emotional charge when you write out all of your worries) and you'll go through the 5 steps every day to deconstruct the thought, and reconstruct it into something you understand and can manage.  Day 22-42 you go through the 5 steps only, growing new thoughts around the toxic one, and Day 42-63 you finally break the “cycle” and form NEW thoughts, that support the future you want to see.  It sounds pretty simple and straight forward, but I've got to share that it's a bit messy. CLEANING UP OUR MENTAL MESS IN 63 DAYS In our interview, she held up a dead, rotten looking tree, showing us that this is what our toxic thoughts look like, (in our mind) and I'm not one consciously think negative thoughts, knowing how damaging they are to our brain and results, but this image took it all to a new level for me with this dead tree. Anytime we are stuck ruminating on something negative, (either consciously-when we will know we are going down the wrong path, or even unconsciously, like what happened to me when I noticed feeling this sinking feeling in my stomach that something just wasn't right in our world) the dead tree is a good visual to think of. How on the earth could we possibly expect to build positive results with negative thoughts floating through our minds, causing negative feelings, actions and results? These negative thoughts further impact our conditions, circumstances and even our future environments. It's not something I want personally, or for anyone else, so when I noticed I was beginning to worry, and feel anxious with some things happening with our girls, that are a normal part of them growing up, and I knew these worries were beginning to impact my behavior, (I was more snippier than usual with them) I knew it was time for me to start a NEW 63 day Neurocycle and nip these worries in the bud, before they grew into something more difficult to control. I knew it was time to clean up my own Mental Mess. I'm on DAY 4/63 of the program now, and since this is my 4th time running through a 63-day cycle, I wanted to share my thoughts along the way, to help others who might be thinking about beginning this process. I'll link some resources in the show notes resource section of where to begin. I highly suggest watching the interview I did with Dr. Leaf on EPISODE #106[x] to get some background information of this 5-step process, and even her interview with podcaster Ed Mylett[xi] who brings some humor to the 5-step process from a guy's point of view. The Neurocycle APP puts everything into practice and brings the 5-steps to life. Here's My Experience of Using the APP to Clean Up My Mental Mess INTRO TO THE APP: I opened up the APP, and 63 days feels like a long way away, but if you can break down the journey into stages (1-21 where you identify what issue you want to DETOX from your mind and begin to deconstruct it, and then reconstruct it into something healthier, 22-42 where you practice the 5 steps and reinforce new, healthy thoughts, and finally days 42-63 where you break the cycle of negative thinking and find FREEDOM in your mind) where you notice you'll be able to manage your thoughts, and life, so much better. You go from having doubts, worries, and fears, to understanding, and eventually to FREEDOM and peace of mind. Here's how I felt throughout my 63 days. DAY 1: I felt anxious, with a problem I wanted to solve immediately. It was difficult to focus on my work, as the problem was on my mind. Dr. Leaf's dead toxic tree was enough of a visual for me to want to change my toxic thoughts, and get them out of my head.  I also felt an anxious feeling in my stomach, and knew I wasn't my best self. DAY 2: The first part is all about brainstorming what's on our mind. If I thought about the CRAP BOARD I talked about in our previous EPISODE, it's here we list out all of Conflicts, Resistances, Anxieties and Problems on a piece of paper. I did this myself, and actually did it with my daughter, to pinpoint what was stressing her out so much. Pinpointing what's bothering you the MOST is eye-opening, as you look at other things that cross your mind, and put them on the back-burner, so to speak. Now we are going to pick the one that's the most pressing. I've now identified the ONE thought I'll work on for 63 days. Most of us will be able to list a whole bunch of things that are on our mind, taking up space. You'll want to pick just ONE. At this point I already know how I feel when this problem comes across my mind, and I've started to apply strategies to calm my mind when I feel stressed out about it. The work of deconstructing this problem has begun. DAY 3: Now I've learned to pause and breathe when stressed with a strategy Dr. Leaf calls THINK/FEEL and CHOOSE. With time, this self-regulation strategy becomes automatic and when I THINK and FEEL something that makes me uneasy, I have the ability to CHOOSE how I respond or react to it, listening closely to what she says are “warning signals” in my body.  Alpha waves increase as I dig deeper into my mind, and gain understanding in this process.  I'm very clear with the emotions I feel, the behaviors I choose, and I'm using my own mind to gain some perspective of what this all means to me, and what are the root causes of it all. DAY 6: I'm beginning to change my perspective of the toxic thought, getting closure to it all, as I'm beginning to see where it came from in the first place. DAY 7: I can actually gather some insight, understanding and feel empowered as I've broken up a toxic thought with my own mind. After 7 days I can say I felt hope, or empowerment and had created a vision for the future I wanted as the toxic thought is now being restructured in my brain and turned into something useful. I'm thinking of her dead tree coming alive a bit. DAY 14: Dr. Leaf mentions is a BENCHMARK DAY as you might experience what she says is like a “mastery mirage” or that “Oh, I've got this feeling” and you want to stop here. DON'T STOP, or you'll undo all of the work you've done up to this point, and you'll need to start over at day 1. The toxic thought isn't dead just yet. Keep going, learning, thinking and reflecting. It's here you might need an accountability partner to keep going, but find some way to take this process seriously and keep moving, and doing the “mental” work to break free from whatever it is that's bothering you. I just wrote down what day I was on in my notebook out of 63 days, showing me that I wasn't finished yet. DAY 14-16: Somewhere around here I felt persistence, resilience, strength and power about the thought that was once toxic and troubling.  I can look back to Day 1 and remember how I felt, knowing this process does work. I know that I'm nowhere near where I was 2 weeks ago with this toxic thought. DAY 20: I can now see the BIG PICTURE and the future that was bright as the toxic thought no longer bothers me. This is an incredible experience to get to and know that we used our own mind to clean itself. DAY 21-24: Were the most powerful. I won't write here why, you'll have to do the work and see for yourself, but it was here that came deep understanding, healing and strength that would change me forever. DAY 25-63: Was a process of going through the 5 STEPS daily, and reconceptualizing the toxic every day until you build it into something else that's healthier.   I did cover in the 5 STEPS in our REVIEW of Dr. Leaf's Book[xii], but here they are again here: IMAGE CREDIT: Dr. Carolyn Leaf's 5 STEPS for Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess in her Neurocycle APP. STEP 1: Gather Awareness (of what's bothering you). We've all heard of the importance of knowing our emotions, or when we name what's bothering us, or when we name it, we can tame it[iv]. What about those worries that we name, and they don't go away? This is where I used the Neurocycle APP and this is something I will continue to use to clean up my own mental mess, cleaning up those bigger worries that I know are impacting my results. STEP 2: Reflect and Analyze: Answer, Ask and Discuss Some Questions to Find the Root Cause of Your Emotions or What's Bothering You. This is how we pull thoughts from our non-conscious mind to our conscious mind, where it becomes weaker. It's no longer suppressed but acknowledged. Use your mind to ask yourself questions, and it will be interesting to see what comes up. This process takes time, reflection and daily effort. Our emotions are unique signals to learn how to cope with challenges, but over time, negative ones will damage our brain with consistent worry.  We want to find our way to growing the positive emotions, and weakening the negative ones. Since I'm on my 4th time doing this process, I can say that the ROOT CAUSE of ALL my worries, are pretty much the same issue. This activity will increase your self-awareness. STEP 3: Write out what you discover from step 2. Begin to capture what's bothering you and see if you can come up with root causes, or why you think this worry is on your mind. Learn to write in pictures, add color, shapes. Learn how to write in a metacog formula[v] digging into your nonconscious mind, bringing what's buried in there, to your conscious mind for you to deal with it.  It's here you will create self-regulation strategies to turn your worries into something that no longer holds you back. STEP 4: Recheck and Edit What You Have Written Down. Re-read what you have written and see what comes up. Can you add more to your answer to help make more sense of it? Dig deeper, look for patterns, triggers and keep looking for the root cause of the problem. As you gain more understanding of what's bothering you, you are now what Dr. Leaf says is called “conceptualizing” the toxic thought into something you can manage.  STEP 5: Practice and Apply Through Active Reach. Look at what you have written and see if you can come up with an action statement to practice what you have learned from your introspection.  You will read out your daily Aha Moment 7x a day to remind yourself what you are re-shaping. This last step is something positive and motivating to remind you of your NEW awareness around this thought. The APP even has a reminder that will pop up on your phone to help you to consolidate this new thought into your mind in this process. It will make you smile when you are going about your busy day, long after you've done this work. It's here you'll notice a shift in energy about the problem. I started to see mine differently here looking at it from a distance. DIVE DEEPER INTO YOUR RESULTS The Neurocycle APP has this NEW feature that measures how well you are managing your mind. You can click on the RESULTS tab and see a score for your Autonomy, Awareness, Toxic Thoughts and Isolation, Toxic Stress, Barriers and Challenges, Empowerment and Life Satisfaction based on answering questions after each day of using the app. This score will help you to dive deeper into your mental health and see where there is room for improvement along the way. What's NEXT? Now that I know how to identify and change my own toxic thinking, I'd like to teach this process to my girls, so they can keep their minds free and clear of their mental mess. Dr. Leaf's book for kids comes out August 8th (next Tuesday) so reviewing her 5 STEPS will be helping for ANYONE who wants to apply these steps themselves and then help others to do the same. Before I review this episode with some additional strategies, I do have to say that going through these 5 steps isn't going to be easy. I'm in my 4th cycle of 63 days, and in the very beginning, when you are writing down something that make you uneasy (a toxic thought) it will make you FEEL uneasy. The work is real, and so are the emotions that you will be breaking down. I had to find strategies to help me to center myself, and get out of the fight/flight part of my anxious brain, to the rest and digest parasympathetic side. There's no way around a problem, Dr. Leaf says the only way is “through” and I'll have to agree.  When doing these 5 steps, find ways to incorporate self-care into your day. Be good to yourself. To make sure I was putting my mind in the BEST frame for doing this deep work, I looked at what other strategies we could use to help calm our mind as we are cleaning up our Mental Mess, and I found a list from Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast. On Dr. Huberman's EPISODE on “Tools for Managing Stress and Anxiety[xiii]” he suggests: What Does Dr. Huberman Suggest? 1. BREATHING: Practice the physiological sigh[xiv] by consciously engaging in a double inhale followed by a long exhale to regulate heart rate and induce relaxation. Incorporate deliberate breathing techniques, such as longer and more vigorous exhales, to regulate heart rate and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Dr. Leaf incorporates breathing into her Neurocycle steps, helping us to prime our brain for learning. I saw the importance of taking deep breaths when I interviewed Rohan Dixit and his Lief Therapeutics[xv] wearable HRV device. This device, that connected to my stomach with sensors, taught me to breathe and in turn, lower my HRV. 2. SUPPLEMENTS: Explore non-prescription compounds like melatonin, L-theanine, and ashwagandha for potential stress modulation. While I'm not anti-alcohol, I do have a new awareness of the damaging impact of this toxin on our brain, since Dr. Huberman's episode where he covers this in depth[xvi], I've been drinking HOP WTR[xvii] to help calm my nerves as an alternative to alcohol, especially when I need my mind clear and focused, or while learning new information. When life needs your full awareness, I highly suggest finding a healthy substitute that will help you to continue to build brain health in this process. I find this drink to be relaxing, and it does still relieve stress, probably as it contains Ashwagandha that's best known for its stress relieving properties. 3. PRIORITIZE SLEEP[xviii] AND MAINTAIN OPTIMAL HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV) for overall health. I've been working on this area for a long time now, (since 2019) and finally seeing improvements[xix].  It's a process, involving many factors (physical and mental health) and optimizing all areas of health come one step at a time. You can see from my WHOOP (wearable tracker) data that my sleep performance struggles to reach the 70% mark (the suggest number for sufficient sleep) unless I'm on vacation. This is mostly due to the fact that I prioritize early morning works outs, for the benefits I receive there, so sleep is always my work in progress.  Finding the balance we need with our physical and mental health is a process. We've covered improving HRV on a few episodes, and I've been watching this number like a hawk for the past year. This past month, I've finally seen a huge jump in HRV scores that I attribute mostly to the Qualia Senolytics[xx] supplement that I started to use after interview Dr. Greg Kelly from Neurohacker Collective, and drinking more Hop Wtr. In February of this year, my HRV was averaging around 65 ms, and now it's averaging 84 ms, a 30% increase since February which is a huge jump that could go even higher if only I could get consistent sleep at night. These are my experiences for improving sleep and HRV, and know there are many other suggested strategies that we'll keep our eye on and cover in the future. 4. BUILD RESILIENCE: Engage in activities that raise the stress threshold, such as cold showers or intense exercise, while learning to calm the mind. This is a new practice for me and does come in handy when you travel to a place with no hot water once you've mastered cold water immersion. To conclude and review this week's Brian Fact Friday, of a deeper dive into Dr. Carolyn Leaf's Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess Book and Neurocycle APP, I highly suggest that if you have something you want to work through, something that's on your mind bothering you, and distracting you from being your best self, read Dr. Leaf's How To Clean Up Your Mental Mess book, and grab her Neurocycle APP, even if it's just for a few months to go through one 63 day cycle. You can always quit the APP, and come back to it at a later date, like I did. Then fine tune your mindset and resilience practice with Dr. Huberman's tips for managing stress and anxiety. You don't have to do it all at once, and you can see from what I'm measuring that balancing our mental and physical health will always be a “work in progress”, especially cleaning up our mental mess, so we can be the best version of ourselves, inspiring others to do the same. Since stress, anxiety and depression are at an all-time high in the world today, and if we as parents, teachers and coaches can equip ourselves with evidence-based strategies that work, we will be building a stronger, more resilient future for our next generation. Neurohacker Collective just posted this week that “people with higher baseline vagal tone (from practices like breath work, cold exposure, exercise, meditation, taking probiotics, laughter, singing and relaxation exercises) have shown higher levels of subjective well-being, and positive emotions (better self-regulation and self-control).” With that, I'll close out this episode, and see you next week, with EPISODE 300 with a surprise guest, my Mom, who will join my husband, Majid Samadi, and I, to cover some mindset success strategies that she's used over the years, many that we have discussed on the podcast. See you next week!

In this episode, Jeff points out the obvious answer to the world's most obvious whodunit: yes, it's Hunter Biden's cocaine and yes, this is like the tenth time he's lied about his cocaine use. Why does the Biden administration have to lie to us? And why is a crackhead sex addict living in the White House?In other obvious news, Jeff points out when society fell apart: the advent of social media. Jeff aches for the old days when lawyers actually worked hard at their craft instead of lying about their accomplishments on the internet in order to fool their victims into hiring them.

Defending our freedom effectively means we must identify the high value targets. If we can't see the enemy, we lose. Bureaucracy has been weaponized. Frightening national security issues are real. Where is DHS? Fat trimming in the alpha's. Three major areas of focus. Blinken's shell companies and who's involved. JOB is a major player in it all. The Georgia Supreme Court ruling is having results. The devil is coming down there. Nobody talks about tech vendor involvement in intel. The Bureau Of Intelligence and Research. West Exec selling clout and access. Small, nimble and dark. OSS spin off within the State Dept. All the right schools too. All those ex-generals together. Shilling for globalism and causing chaos. Did someone say 911 involvement? Closely held intel, and they never leave. In the modern age, nothing is secret. Hidden people are running everything. The Obot crew infiltration. Restricted client lists have advantages. Pinpointing actual problems is critical, like weapons scams. Is it Ukraine military aid or money laundering? Russia could end the war in an hour. The original missing laptop. The Lugar labs. Truth and light will both burn. The vibration that is you. Our struggle has taught us that demons can be defeated when true faith is our weapon.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today I'm joined by two Hollywood greats, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. They have produced, directed, written, and acted in a number of the most popular films and tv shows ever made, including Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, 24, and Frost/Nixon. Their partnership is one of the longest running in Hollywood, and the business they founded in 1985, Imagine Entertainment, has won 49 EMMY awards, 11 Golden Globes, and 10 Academy Awards. There are few better storytellers in the world and it was a thrill to talk about curiosity, trust, and business building with them both.
