Hidden Hunger: The Importance of Micronutrients: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on the critical role of micronutrients—vitamins and minerals—in overall health. Leyla highlights the global issue of 'hidden hunger,' a deficiency in essential micronutrients that silently affects billions worldwide. She explains the impact of this deficit on immune function, growth, energy metabolism, and chronic disease prevention. The discussion includes key micronutrients like vitamins A, C, D, E, B complex, iron, zinc, iodine, and selenium, and their sources. Leyla underscores the need for dietary diversity, fortification, targeted supplementation, and nutritional awareness to combat this pervasive issue. She also advises on recognizing symptoms of deficiencies and the importance of individualized nutrition plans guided by healthcare professionals.

Send a textThis week's episode is a very real one for me. I share a life update, the emotional rollercoaster I've been quietly riding, and how I stayed grounded in my program even when my heart and mind were all over the place. If you've been holding it together lately, this episode may feel like a deep exhale. This one is honest, and grounding, especially for those of us managing full lives while trying to live intentionally.Quote of the Week:“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” — RumiCitations:Raichle, M.

Send a textThis week's episode is not what I originally planned. I'm sharing this from the ER, and moments like this have a way of clarifying everything. When health feels uncertain and life narrows to what truly matters, the noise falls away. So instead of a new episode, I'm re-releasing my very first one as a reminder to ground ourselves in what actually works. In seasons of striving, tracking, optimizing, and pushing toward goals, it's easy to forget the foundation beneath it all.The title of that first episode is Why Not Choose Love, and it feels especially relevant right now. Not love as a cliché or a soft sentiment, but as a deliberate choice in how we think, respond, and show up. When fear rises and circumstances feel out of our control, love remains available. If you've been carrying stress, pressure, or uncertainty, I invite you to return with me to this simple but powerful question: why not choose love?Let's go, let's get it done.

In this episode, Jamie and Scott discuss a simple leadership posture that changes outcomes: default to “yes” when it protects patients—then solve the obstacles. Scott shares real examples from winter-storm outreach, hospice and palliative care misconceptions, and operational “rules” that block care (often driven by language, software, or habit—not true limitations). They dig into how patient-centered thinking, clearer communication (ditch the acronyms), and smarter systems—like a new mapping tool—can drive more visits, better coordination, and better results. www.YourHealth.Org

In this research-focused episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a groundbreaking four-week study from the Journal of Clinical Nutrition comparing alternate day fasting (true zero-calorie fasting days alternating with unrestricted eating days) against standard 16:8 time-restricted eating, revealing that ADF produced £1.4 more total fat loss and significantly greater visceral fat reduction than daily intermittent fasting—the stubborn metabolic fat that drives disease. The hosts emphasize the surprising finding that the ADF group was the only one showing increased activity energy expenditure and improved quality of life scores despite being in an aggressive caloric deficit, demonstrating that people actually felt better and moved more naturally rather than experiencing the typical diet misery. They provide crucial context on metabolic adaptation, explaining why the slight decrease in resting metabolic rate and T3 thyroid hormone with ADF only becomes problematic if prolonged, which is why they recommend strategic 2-4 week ADF cycles followed by foundational 16:8 or 18:6 fasting to protect metabolism while still achieving powerful visceral fat loss. This episode delivers the practical framework for using ADF as an intermittent power tool within a sustainable fast-cycling lifestyle—not as a white-knuckle permanent strategy like Angus Barbieri's 382-day fast or repeated brutal 72-hour fasts—while protecting muscle mass through resistance training and adequate protein to create lasting body composition changes without sacrificing energy, sanity, or long-term metabolic health. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

FROM SURVIVAL TO QUALITY OF LIFE: WHY OUTCOMES ARE BEING REDEFINED THE FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN MEDICINE For decades, medicine measured success through a singular lens: survival. Did the patient live? Did the procedure work? While these metrics remain important, healthcare is undergoing a profound transformation that redefines what "winning" actually means[1]. The new standard is no longer just extending life—it's enabling patients to live purposefully, functionally, and with dignity[2]. This shift reflects a critical insight: surviving is not the same as living well. WHY OUTCOMES ARE BEING REDEFINED Beyond Binary Success Traditional outcome metrics operated in black-and-white terms. A femur repair was "successful" if the fracture healed—regardless of whether the patient could walk without pain, climb stairs, or return to work[3]. Today, healthcare systems recognize this approach as incomplete and outdated. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) The healthcare industry is now systematically integrating patient voices into outcome measurement. These tools capture what patients actually experience: physical functioning, emotional well-being, social participation, and overall quality of life[4]. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has formally incorporated patient-reported outcome measures into quality reporting frameworks, signaling a structural shift in how healthcare success is defined[5]. The Quintuple Aim Modern healthcare reform is reframing success across five dimensions[6]: ·      Patient Experience: Tailored treatments based on individual data and preferences ·      Population Health: Proactive, preventative care delivery ·      Cost Reduction: Connecting patients to appropriate care and reducing avoidable hospitalizations ·      Provider Well-Being: Extending clinical reach through technology and team-based care ·      Equitable Care: Ensuring access regardless of geography or circumstance WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE Real-World Impact Advanced remote patient monitoring programs demonstrate the difference this redefinition makes. One program achieved a 230% increase in guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure patients, adding an average of 5 years to their lives—but the metric that matters most is that patients remained home, maintained independence, and preserved quality of life while achieving better clinical outcomes[7]. Shared Decision-Making Patient preferences now matter. Research shows patients are generally unwilling to accept diminished quality of life simply for extended survival[8]. Healthcare providers increasingly recognize that authentic patient partnership—understanding what matters most to each individual—leads to better adherence, satisfaction, and actual outcomes. THE BOTTOM LINE The redefinition of medical success from "Did you survive?" to "Are you living well?" represents a maturation of healthcare. It acknowledges that modern medicine can often extend life—the question now is how to ensure that extended life is worth living. This shift places patient values, functional abilities, and personal purpose at the center of clinical decision-making. Success in 21st-century medicine means helping patients achieve not just survival, but flourishing. REFERENCES [1] Takeda Oncology. (2025).

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson sits down with Juliet Abdel, President and CEO of the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance, to talk about building a regionally focused, globally minded economic development organization. Drawing on Cedar Rapids' "fifth season" advantage (time, accessibility, and quality of life) Juliet shares how the region leverages industry clusters, international relationships, and leadership discipline to compete. The conversation blends practical economic development strategy with candid insights on burnout, boundaries, and leading people well in a demanding field. Like this show? Please leave us a review here — even one sentence helps! 10 Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Treat quality of life as a competitive asset, not a marketing afterthought. Focus attraction efforts on industry clusters that naturally complement what already exists locally. International business development does not require a global city, only consistent relationship-building. Cast a clear vision so teams understand the "why," not just the tasks. Protect staff health by modeling boundaries, especially around after-hours communication. Build attraction strategies around regional strengths, not generic wish lists. Encourage team members to say no when capacity or clarity is missing. Leverage peer networks aggressively. Most good ideas already exist somewhere else. Recognize burnout as an organizational risk, not a personal weakness. Remember that economic development works best when personal well-being and professional performance reinforce each other.

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.

As we preserve Elisabeth's legacy, we will share as much of her work as possible, even when technical issues affect the quality of the audio. Each talk is unique in content and tone. All are a blessing and encouragement. --- Music by John Hanson

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.
