She then walks us through her transformation as she worked to remove the strict rules around her diet, ultimately reaching a place of food freedom. Today, Sophie uses her Instagram platform to share the content she wishes she had when she was younger — a place where she debunks popular myths and misinformation, and where food is celebrated rather than demonized.In this episode, Sophie and I take a deep dive into the "Glucose Goddess" and examine whether the claims being made are factual or misleading.

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring Zach Rausch, an Associate Research Scientist at NYU-Stern School of Business and the lead researcher for social psychologist Jonathan Haidt's new book “The Anxious Generation.”  Zach's research for the book, both convincing and frightening, marks a major contribution to an ongoing conversation about the health of our kids and, ultimately, our nation.I wanted to have Zach on the show to highlight the important ideas outlined in “The Anxious Generation” and dive deeper into the story.  I've become increasingly concerned that technologies like smartphones and social media, things we just accept and take for granted these days, might not actually be all that good for us.  Tune in to this important lesson to learn:What the data is telling us there's been a shocking decline in mental health for kids and young people around the world Just why things like push notifications and the like-button work so well and why that's a problem, especially for kids What the hook formula is and how social media companies used it to design incredibly addictive productsWhy not all screen time is created equal and parents should be very careful with smartphones and social mediaWhy it's imperative that technology companies be accountable for the damage caused by their productsHow parents, schools, and government can work together to make things better for kids by pursuing 4 simple strategies: no smartphones until high school, no social media until 16, phone-free schools, and fostering more unsupervised play and childhood independence & Much, much moreZach and I also discuss why there might be an even bigger problem here, one that impacts our communities and our democracy itself.  Stay tuned to the end to hear why, despite all the bad data, Zach remains optimistic we can right the ship. As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode.  Thanks for tuning in!      Ps.  For more information about “The Anxious Generation” click hereFor more information about Let Grow and the play-based childhood movement click hereLove this episode?

Whether you are preparing for a momentous occasion, a formal event, or a night out on the town, we all want to look good. We want our hair, skin, and overall appearance to look as beautiful as when we were younger, and it is tough keeping up with all that maintenance as the years keep rolling by. We not only want to look good, but we want the energy and vibrancy to enjoy our lives and feel good. Let's learn more with our two guests for this episode!We are joined by two sisters, Dr. Onyeka Ihezie and Dr. Amaka Ugbome. They are pharmacists by day who have a passion for all things natural by night. Their interest comes from their bloodline and their commitment to natural hair care. They found little information and products on the market that catered to our natural tresses, so they began doing extensive research and educating themselves on how to create amazing products for our delicate strands. Their love of hair care blossomed into a passion with a mission to create quality, natural, healthy products–but they didn't stop there. They spend time and resources educating women to care for their hair and skin, and they volunteer in various capacities to help others. At one time, they partnered with the Black Girl Tribe, a nonprofit organization aimed toward empowering and developing young black women. They even supplied over $2000 worth of handmade products to support the women in this organization. Their online store makes products available in many different countries around the world, and we are thrilled to have them on the show!Show Highlights:How they bridged the gap between pharmacy and skin/hair careHow their personal hair experiences led them to rethink “good hair” and “bad hair”Why everyone has to come to the point on their own to embrace their natural hairWhat to consider about safe/unsafe productsHow their products are unique, natural, and formulated especially for black hair, using ingredients from nature and avoiding harmful chemicalsThe sisters' advice about a hair care regimen and what products are the most essentialWhy your skin care regimen should include a good hydrating cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and serumHow to fight aging skin, aging hair, hair thinning, and hair lossWhy aging hair, processed hair, and gray hair have drastic changes in textureHow to approach hair care and skin care with consistent changes over timeThe sisters' take on trendy ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, collagen, and retinolsHow supplements (a multivitamin, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin E, and Omega-3s) can support healthy hair and skinHow to find their products
