What if the key to focus wasn't actually sitting still but moving? Embedded in Tai Chi and Qigong are tools to develop a refinement of your energy. They gave me 10 boys… bouncing off the walls. I found that breath, movement, and focus have to be together. The mind is at the bottom of the feet. This practice is for standing up. Attach a movement to one of those already pre-made behaviors. Model for your child, because you're the one. Start small, start modeling… and see what happens.

She calls for collaboration and data sharing among partner nations to enhance medical care in extreme cold environments.Sorry, if you would like to see the slides, you'll have to become a paid member. TakeawaysWe don't have a whole lot of military presence above the Arctic Circle.Cold is the enemy; we need to get used to it.The greatest need is initial care at the point of injury.We need to improve the ability of our medics to operate efficiently in cold environments.Most medication stability data is from controlled environments, not extreme conditions.We need to test medications in field environments to understand their stability.Base layer transport is a promising method for carrying medications in cold weather.We need actual inventions that work for medics in the field.Siloing up information is not the answer; we need collaboration.Identifying high-priority medications is crucial for effective cold-weather operations.Chapters00:00 The Arctic Military Landscape02:47 Challenges of Cold Weather Medicine05:59 Medication Stability in Extreme Conditions08:54 Innovative Solutions for Cold Weather Operations11:52 Data Collection and Research Needs15:04 Practical Tips for Medics in Cold Environments18:02 Future Directions in Cold Weather Medical CareThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.deltadevteam.comFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

In this episode, I open up about what it feels like to be completely worn out—juggling work, parenting, and big life changes—and how I've learned to slow down without losing momentum. I know the fear that everything will fall apart if you stop pushing, but I'm here to share why that doesn't have to be true. I talk about the mindset shift that helped me most: seeing planning not just as time management, but as personal development. When I started treating my calendar and task list as tools to support the life I actually want, everything changed. I also introduce the Flow Planning Method, a system I use and teach that blends structure and flexibility so we can stay focused, aligned with our values, and responsive to real life. Plus, I invite you to join my free consistency challenge and planning course—two supportive spaces to help you take action without burning out. This episode is all about reclaiming your energy, honoring your limits, and planning in a way that feels kind, not rigid. If you've been running on empty, I hope this helps you reconnect with what matters and find a pace that works for you. Shop: Sense The Possibilities Planner & Journal (This is the hard copy!

In this insightful episode, Jerry Kennedy dives deep into the important topic of chiropractic website ownership versus renting. Learn about the pros, cons, and misconceptions surrounding website management to make the best decision for your chiropractic practice. Key Points Discussed: 1. The Catalyst for This Discussion Jerry shares his experience with seeing a social media ad discouraging chiropractors from renting websites, advocating instead for ownership. Highlights the misleading aspects of this marketing approach. 2. The True Purpose of Your Chiropractic Website Your website should clearly represent your practice and communicate your value to potential patients. It should create an immediate feeling of reassurance and relief for your ideal patients, helping them know they've found the right chiropractor. 3. Common Misconceptions About Renting vs. Owning Owning a website does not eliminate ongoing costs (hosting, domain renewal, plugins, maintenance). Renting doesn't inherently mean you're throwing away money; it could offer consistent value and peace of mind. Website Management Options Explored: Option 1: DIY (Do It Yourself) Pros: Cheapest initial cost; complete control. Cons: Time-consuming, requires technical and design skills, full responsibility for problems. Option 2: DIY with Professional Help (Hybrid Model) Pros: Professional initial setup, saves significant time, good initial functionality and appearance. Cons: High upfront costs, ongoing technical maintenance responsibilities, potential hidden SEO and functional flaws. Option 3: Full Website Service Pros: Professional management, design, and SEO optimization; ongoing support and updates; leveraging expert experience. Cons: Higher ongoing monthly cost; less direct control for those who prefer hands-on management. Key Recommendations: Financial Considerations Avoid making website decisions based purely on cost savings. Prioritize overall return on investment and functionality. Practical Tips for Control Maintain control of your domain (URL). Maintain control of your business email setup independently (e.g., Google Workspace). Warning Signs Be cautious of marketing scare tactics. Ensure the website solution you choose genuinely enhances your online presence and patient conversion. How Jerry and Rocket Chiro Can Help: Request a FREE New Patient Search Review: Jerry offers a detailed, personalized video review of your website and SEO effectiveness, clearly explaining your online visibility and patient appeal. Additional services available include website design, ongoing management, and comprehensive SEO services tailored specifically for chiropractors.

Breaking the Binge Cycle: Practical Solutions for Food and Alcohol Triggers After 40Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Podcast Summary: “How to Fix Binge Eating and Drinking – Real Talk Over 40”In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams dives into the common struggles many face with binge eating and alcohol, particularly for those navigating health and lifestyle goals after 40. Speaking from both personal experience and years of coaching clients, Brad offers practical strategies to help regain control without sacrificing your social life.Why Bingeing Happens Bingeing often stems from emotional triggers, restrictive dieting patterns, and social habits. Brad explains that the feeling of “nothing feels as good as bingeing” is more common than most admit. While some binge on food and others on alcohol, the root issues often overlap. For deeper emotional causes, he recommends seeking professional support.Top Three Strategies to Reduce Food BingeingStabilize Blood Sugar with Protein and Fiber Start meals with psyllium husk, followed by protein and healthy fats. Choose low-glycemic carbohydrates like quinoa, brown rice, or whole grains to avoid sharp insulin spikes that lead to cravings. This approach keeps you fuller longer and less likely to overeat.Avoid the Restrict-Binge Cycle Don't punish yourself after a binge by skipping meals or drastically cutting calories. This slows your metabolism and sets you up for another binge. Instead, eat a normal or slightly reduced calorie intake the next day and focus on balance.Interrupt Your Binge Triggers Recognize what patterns lead to bingeing—whether it's late-night boredom, stress, or habit. Replace those routines with simple actions like taking a walk after meals, drinking tea, chewing gum, or preparing healthy snacks ahead of time.Top Three Strategies to Curb Alcohol BingeingCreate a Weekend Game Plan Plan your drinking for later in the day. Start with a healthy breakfast or protein shake, then fast until the social event. Use non-alcoholic drinks between alcoholic ones to cut down total intake. This alone can significantly reduce alcohol consumption.Eat a Protein-Rich Meal Before Drinking Eating before drinking slows absorption and helps avoid mindless snacking later. Brad often eats before going out so he's not overly hungry when ordering at restaurants or parties, which also saves money and calories.Identify the Emotional Root of Your Drinking Use journaling to understand why you drink. Is it for stress relief, social bonding, or just habit? Finding healthier replacements like CBD, adaptogenic drinks, or non-alcoholic alternatives can support long-term change.Additional TipsBring your own healthy snacks or proteins to parties or events.Prepare mocktails or low-calorie drinks in advance.Stay hydrated and include electrolytes when consuming alcohol.00:00 Introduction: The Struggle with Bingeing00:37 Understanding Bingeing: Food and Alcohol01:08 Practical Tips for Managing Binge Eating03:45 Breaking the Binge-Restrict Cycle04:34 Identifying and Breaking Triggers05:41 Top Strategies for Alcohol Bingeing10:43 Final Thoughts and Community SupportIf you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and messaging expert Brandon Lucero for a powerful deep-dive into what really makes content convert. We go beyond surface-level strategies and into the psychology of messaging that drives demand—without relying on hype or constant how-to posts. Brandon breaks down his three levels of trust that every business needs to build with its audience, and how to shift from over-teaching to creating true resonance and relevance. We talk about how to stop overwhelming your audience, the difference between encyclopedic content and TED Talk-level impact, and why self-identifying content is one of the most effective ways to generate demand before ever mentioning your offer. Brandon also shares practical examples of how to structure your messaging, content, and even Reels to attract aligned clients who are ready to buy—not just engage. If you're ready to stop chasing attention and start creating true connections and conversions, this episode is a must-listen! Liked this episode?

Intellect is important. Using your expertise to really showcase and break down processes in a logical way that is digestible for someone to understand is important, but that doesn't always lead to a sale. In fact, a lot of times that can kind of put you in the friend zone where people are engaging with your content. Maybe they find you valuable. They find you inspiring, they think that you're really smart, but they're not buying from you.” - Julie Solomon “ When it comes to information, I always talk about teaching concepts. Don't teach them how to actually do something, but what's the concept they need to learn? And then if you follow it up with like a metaphor or analogy or something like that, now the brain automatically goes, oh, that makes sense.

Edge of the Web - An SEO Podcast for Today's Digital Marketer
Curious where your website visitors are really clicking—or rage-clicking? On this week's EDGE of the Web, SEO expert Celeste Gonzalez returns to break down how heatmaps and session recordings are transforming the way we analyze user behavior, optimize pages, and (hopefully) keep our clients engaged. We dig into practical tips for choosing the right pages to monitor, interpreting the sometimes confusing world of “dead clicks” versus “rage clicks,” and why your mobile hero image might be killing conversions. A/B testing? Internal linking tests for those blog post traffic hogs? On a side note: if you haven't looked at Microsoft Clarity (a freebie, folks), you're missing out. Celeste spills why it's her go-to and what to watch for as AI-powered tools like Copilot throw their hot takes into the mix. And we concur! Always be optimizing! Whether you're an SEO wrangling for bigger budgets or a marketer tired of guessing, Celeste's advice on collaboration, continuous testing, and the necessity of structured analysis is worth its weight in user insights.
