Send us a textWhat if the reason things feel harder than they should isn't because you're undisciplined, unmotivated, or doing it wrong—but because the system you're using was never designed for the life you're actually living? In this episode, I invite you to pause the self-judgment and take a gentler, more curious look at what's really driving your follow-through (or lack of it). If you've ever felt like you're carrying a lot, managing everything, and still wondering why your goals feel just out of reach, this conversation is for you.If you're in our 30-day challenge—or honestly, if you're just craving a way forward that feels more compassionate and more effective—this episode offers a perspective shift that might change how you see everything you're working toward.Quote of the Week“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.”— William JamesCitationsBeck, A.

Send us a textWhat if the next 30 days weren't about fixing everything… but about proving something to yourself? In this episode, I invite you into a challenge that's intentionally simple, quietly powerful, and very different from the usual “do more, be more” approach. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by goals, burned out by resets, or frustrated that motivation fades faster than you expected—this conversation is for you.If you're ready for a challenge that travels with you, adapts to real life, and strengthens your relationship with yourself—press play and walk with me.Quote of the Week:“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” — Joshua J.

Can AI improve your quality of life, not just your productivity?   Keynote speaker Amy Jo Martin explores leadership, AI, and human-centered decision-making.  In this solo episode of the Why Not Now? Podcast, Amy shares early field notes from The Reinvention Experiment, a year-long AI self-experiment exploring vitality, clarity, and what it means to live well and lead effectively in an AI-driven world.   Rather than biohacking or performance optimization, Amy introduces the concept of Quantified Soul, combining hard data like sleep tracking, screen time, biometrics, and wearable data with qualitative inputs including journaling, emotional regulation, gratitude, and relationship check-ins.   Key insights include why "a wobble is data, not drama," how journaling with AI can help regulate the nervous system, and why cognitive load often creates more stress than conflict. Amy also breaks down what she's tracking, the AI prompts she uses daily, and how AI can surface blind spots instead of reinforcing existing narratives.   This episode is intentionally raw and unfinished. You're stepping inside the experiment itself and exploring how AI can support better decision-making, reflection, and long-term fulfillment, not just efficiency.   Amy Jo Martin speaks globally on Humanizing AI, Leadership, Decision-Making, and the Future of Work.  Learn more about keynote topics and availability: https://amyjomartin.com/speaking   Get Amy Jo's newsletter: amyjomartin.com/newsletter

Send us a textThis week, I'm inviting you into a quieter, more intimate conversation—one that doesn't point outward, but inward. It's about the kind of trust that lives beneath our goals, our decisions, and our follow-through. The kind that gets shaken not by one big moment, but by a thousand small ones. If you've ever felt hesitant to try again, unsure whether to believe yourself, or tired of negotiating with your own mind, this episode is a gentle pause and a reset. Not to fix you—but to help you listen.We're exploring what actually erodes trust, why it so often shows up as self-criticism, and how rebuilding it rarely looks dramatic. It looks small. Practical. Human. This episode is about noticing what gets in the way without turning on yourself—and learning how consistency, compassion, and clarity quietly change everything. If you're craving steadiness, not hype… and momentum, not pressure—this one's for you.Quote of the Week:“Your task is not to seek love, but to find the barriers within yourself.” — RumiCitations:Neff, K.

Send us a textAs we move into a new year, I found myself sitting with a question I don't hear talked about very often—at least not in a way that feels honest or useful. We spend a lot of time planning what we want more of, what we're willing to work for, and what we think things will “cost” us. But this week, I wanted to slow that conversation down and look at what quietly gets traded away in the background of our choices. In this episode, I explore a lens that has changed how I look at my health, my work, my relationships, and even how I decide what deserves my energy. It's not about doing more or trying harder— noticing what we may be giving up without ever meaning to. If you're heading into the year with goals, questions, or a sense that something important deserves more care, this is a conversation I'd love to have with you.Quote of the Week: “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” — Henry David ThoreauLet's go, let's get it done.

Send us a textIf you're listening in real time, Merry Christmas, my dear friends.I'm sending you so much love, safety, and calm this season. This week, I introduce you to a Maester who has profoundly shaped how I think about attention, discipline, peace, and the body: Cal Newport. This is not fluffy productivity advice.This is about unfinished tasks, hidden stress, and how scattered attention quietly drains our energy—and often shows up as urges we don't fully understand.In this episode, I explore why attention isn't just a productivity issue—it's a wellness issue.  We talk about deep work, the modern attention crisis, digital minimalism, and what it means to build a life rooted in presence instead of reaction.  If you've ever ended the day feeling busy but behind,If your mind feels fragmented,If you crave calm, clarity, and follow-through—This episode is for you. Because where your attention lives… your life follows. Quote of the Week “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe CitationsNewport, C.

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a considerable clinical challenge. Esketamine, in conjunction with an oral antidepressant, is a potential treatment for TRD. In this podcast, Dr. Matteo Lupi discusses his article, "Esketamine and Quality of Life Improvement in Treatment-Resistant Depression Patients: A Real-World Clinical Study." The prospective study described in the report explores the long-term effects of esketamine therapy on subjective quality of life in adults with TRD.   The other contributing authors are Alessandro Carano, Tiziano Acciavatti, Stefano Marini, Marco Palmucci, Elicio Marinucci, Enrico Paolini, Alessandro Gentile, Angelomarco Barioglio, Marco Giri, Domenico De Berardis, and Giovanni Martinotti. The article is published in the January-February 2026 issue of The Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002042

Harm reduction for eating disorders is often misunderstood, under-discussed, and sometimes controversial — yet it's transforming the way we think about treatment and care. In this episode, Sam and Laura are joined by Brenda Velissaris, LPC-S, CEDS-C, to explore how a harm reduction approach to eating disorders can meet people where they are, reduce immediate risks, support autonomy, and improve quality of life — all while holding hope for ongoing recovery. You'll learn how harm reduction strategies can complement or provide alternatives to traditional treatment, offering new possibilities, tools, and compassionate support for those who don't fully benefit from or feel stuck in conventional approaches.   If you enjoy our show, please rate, review, subscribe, and tell your friends and colleagues!   Interested in being a guest on All Bodies.

Key Takeaways1. Hospice isn't about giving up — it's about shifting the goal from cure to comfort.Most misconceptions stem from fear or lack of education. Hospice focuses on maximizing quality of life, not accelerating end of life.2. Timing matters. Early conversations lead to better experiences.Families often wait until crisis mode. Subtle changes — fatigue, weight loss, repeated hospitalizations, shifting goals — are early signs to explore hospice.3. There is an entire team behind every patient and family.Chaplains, social workers, nurses, CNAs, and physicians work together to support medical, emotional, spiritual, and logistical needs.4. Quality of life is unique to each patient.It may mean one last trip, freedom from pain, or simply being able to rest without fear. Hospice focuses on what matters most.5. Families gain relief, clarity, and peace knowing they're not alone.Hospice offers 24/7 support, education, and guidance — reducing anxiety and preventing unnecessary hospital visits.6. Eligibility is flexible and individualized.A prognosis of six months or less is a guideline, not an expiration date. A hospice RN and medical director work together to determine appropriateness based on a full clinical picture.7. Hospice allows sacred, human moments to happen.Final conversations, reconciliation, peaceful transitions — hospice creates space for these moments rather than crisis-driven chaos.8. Education is the antidote to fear.Knowledge gives families confidence, reduces guilt, and empowers them to make aligned decisions for their loved ones. www.YourHealth.Org

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin details a study on the effects of vitamins C and E supplementation in older women with sarcopenia. The study, published in the journal Medicine, found that combining 1000 mg of vitamin C and 335 mg of vitamin E with a 12-week resistance training program significantly improved muscle mass, strength, and certain blood parameters compared to a placebo group. The benefits were attributed to the alleviation of oxidative stress and inflammation. Leyla underscores the importance of adequate animal protein intake to optimize resistance training outcomes.

In this transformative and deeply personal episode of the "Stuck In My Mind Podcast," host Wize El Jefe welcomes Georges Córdoba, a former chief technology officer turned holistic health coach, functional nutritionist, energy healer, speaker, and founder of Qualavita. Georges brings a remarkable story of survival, healing, and paradigm-shifting perspective on health—one forged through climbing life's toughest mountain: surviving stage 4 melanoma with brain metastasis. The conversation begins with Wize El Jefe setting the stage, introducing Georges as someone who didn't just survive a decade-long battle with cancer marked by 10 surgeries—including multiple brain operations—but completely transformed his life thereafter. Georges Córdoba shares heartfelt gratitude for the chance to tell his story, marking this July as his 13th year cancer-free—a journey that ultimately led him into holistic health coaching. Listeners are taken through the specifics of Georges' battle, starting as a CTO suddenly diagnosed with advanced melanoma, facing eight brain tumors, two of which were deemed inoperable. With Western medicine running out of answers, Georges describes reaching a pivotal breaking point—when the conventional treatments and financial strains became unbearable. Georges details his leap of faith into holistic modalities, from acupuncture to energy work, navigating doubt and surrender through faith and a search for discernment. The emotional depth comes alive as he describes moments of spiritual resilience in a chapel, praying for guidance amidst recurrence and uncertainty. Conversation shifts to the big picture: the current health crisis in the United States. Drawing upon his speaking engagements and research from the American Cancer Society and Harvard School of Health, Georges offers sobering statistics—66% of US adults have at least one chronic disease, and obesity rates are soaring. He calls out the systemic issues, from the food industry's questionable practices to the entrenched financial incentives in healthcare, arguing that the nation is plagued not only by poor nutrition and lifestyle, but also by a lack of preventative initiatives. Wize El Jefe and Georges trade personal anecdotes about changes in society, food culture, and the normalization of processed foods. Their frank discussion exposes the convenience trap and its severe health consequences, comparing the eating habits of past decades with the fast-food norm of today. Georges passionately explains his holistic health philosophy, which now encompasses functional nutrition, emotional healing, hypnosis, and energy work. He reflects on the hardest and most impactful practices to master, such as hypnotherapy, and debunks pervasive myths about disease and heredity. Drawing from the latest epigenetic science, he asserts that nearly all chronic illness originates in emotional distress, acidic/inflamed bodies, and unhealthy lifestyles—not genetics alone. A core segment explores how most Americans eat too quickly and chew too little, leading to poor digestion and chronic health issues. Georges presents vivid metaphors and practical advice—slowing down, breathing deeply before meals, and chewing food thoroughly, so digestion can happen properly and health can be restored. As Wize El Jefe shares his own journey of weight loss and improved well-being, the episode turns toward empowerment, resilience, and the actionable steps listeners can take. Georges outlines his program, Qualavita, which means “quality of life.” Through personalized coaching, group movements like his new Prevention Revolution, and forthcoming books, Georges aspires to help clients unlock vitality from within. His approach treats the whole person—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—drawing from wisdom traditions, modern science, and lived experience. The episode is filled with practical guidance: from nutrition tips and emotional healing practices to mindsets that foster hope and transformation. Georges illustrates how faith, purpose, and consistent action are essential to healing, sharing inspiring testimonials and anecdotes from his own family and clients. For listeners who may feel powerless battling disease, Georges delivers a powerful, compassionate message: healing happens from the inside out, and the answers for transformation are within. He shares the importance of believing in yourself, taking control of your choices, and seeking out supportive communities and resources. For those feeling lost after a diagnosis, Georges offers strategies for managing fear, advocating for yourself within the healthcare system, and using positive visualization to empower the mind and body toward healing. As the episode closes, Georges shares where listeners can find him, access his bestselling book "Beating the Odds," and join his new programs for both prevention and healing. His advocacy: take action and start the journey toward true quality of life—slow down, become present, and embrace holistic health. This episode is a powerful blend of raw personal experience, expert guidance, and urgent call for a radical shift in how we approach sickness and health as individuals and a society. Anyone struggling with chronic illness, seeking hope, or curious about holistic health will leave inspired, informed, and armed with practical steps toward transformation. Tune in now to hear the full conversation—one that just may change your perspective, your habits, and your path to true healing.

Send us a textGrief is heavy; choice is heavier. We open the door to a conversation many avoid: how to make humane, timely end-of-life decisions for our dogs and other animals without surrendering dignity to fear or delay. Through real stories—a goat with Johne's disease, a Labrador remembered with regret, a joyful dog named Eazy whose last morning was full of play ... we map the emotional terrain and the practical steps that lead to a kinder farewell.We talk about the hard calls that vets present and what they mean in real life: failed vein access, prolonged sedation, and invasive procedures that add risk without improving outcomes. You'll hear why “a day early rather than a day late” can prevent traumatic endings like haemorrhage, suffocation, or frantic final car rides. We share how to plan a peaceful goodbye at home, in a place your dog loves ... the training arena, the garden, a sunny bed ... with familiar voices, favourite games, and last suppers that say “you're safe.” Presence matters; calm touch and routine reduce fear, and those final moments become a gentle memory instead of a lifelong scar.We also challenge treatment norms. Not every surgery, MRI, or chemo protocol serves the animal when the prognosis is poor. We walk through the questions that bring clarity: What does recovery look like? What comfort will this buy? What risks are certain? Alongside honest talk about limits, we cover supportive care ... nutrition upgrades, raw diets when appropriate, targeted supplements, and low-stress routines—that can boost wellbeing without false hope. The through line is stewardship: asking tough questions, choosing compassion over delay, and trusting yourself to act before suffering eclipses joy.If you're bracing for a hard decision or carrying the weight of one that has passed, this conversation offers language, frameworks, and courage for the moments that matter most.
