“I would rather have a conversation with a really good long-time friend and just belly laughing at stories that we went through or inside jokes that we had. Those are the things that I will literally bust a gut laughing over. So of course, I'm not inviting all my friends over.” — Emily, 3 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast

“I hear too many stories about people going too hard, feeling better than they have in a long time, and pushing too hard and having to go back for more surgery, or they might rip something or pull something. I'm trying to take it easy, but it's hard because I have this really good feeling,” — Emily, 2 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast

“Number seven is realizing that my heating pad is on warm. I don't remember the last time it's been on warm, the lowest setting. It's normally on high and medium.” — Emily, 2 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast

“I'm glad I read that advice of having a pillow to hug to my body, and especially if you have to cough or laugh or anything that involves your stomach muscles, it's really good to have that pressure there when you're doing it. ” — Emily, 1 Day Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast >> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast

Flanders: A Featured BiographyIn a dramatic Senate floor speech on March 9, 1954, Vermont senator Ralph E. Flanders became one of the first members of the Republican Party to denounce fellow senator Joseph McCarthy's methods in fighting communism. Flanders introduced the resolution that would eventually lead to McCarthy's censure by the Senate on December 2, 1954. Reflecting on this battle, Flanders later wrote, “The conviction grew that something must be done about this, even if I had to do it myself.” During his two-term Senate career, Flanders served on a number of key committees, including Armed Services, Banking, and Finance. Although he had no official college diploma, Flanders received 16 honorary degrees and was an accomplished mechanical engineer and inventor in the field of machine tools from a young age until his death in 1970. 10:00 to 11:00Doris Sumner, AuthorMemoir: Life at CampGender Discrimination and Sexual Harassment: Alive and Well in the MilitaryU.S. military veteran, author, and diversity consultant focused on fostering gender equality in the workplace.

This podcast opens with a quick recap of the exclusive interview we aired for the Season 3 kick-off, coinciding with the launch of ActionLine.ca, the new home for public affairs in Winnipeg. Part 1 of the sit-down with Andrew Marquess of Gem Equities can be heard here. Then, a fast round-up of other City Hall stories and election interviews coming up, and the surprise promise made on Day 1 of the campaign by Premier Stefanson to cut personal income taxes- for some, it would be a $1900 windfall. Marty Gold quickly notes the details, the pros, and the cons, and you'll hear an audio quip from NDP Leader Wab Kinew he might wish he could take back.

Marty explains why supporting those willing to seek help is paramount to restoring safe communities. Instead, entrenched bureaucracies and self-serving politicians wield funding as a divisive tool, preventing a unified industry that would help get addicts into treatment programs with minimal delay. "Government officials use all the terms - like recovery capital - without ensuring their words and actions match up." Hear the questions everyone should ask anyone running for the Legislature- or ask any other elected politician- if you see them at Recovery Day. 24:32 - Crime Courts and Public Safety Update The Long Weekend was a snapshot of the utter despair average families encounter when they find out they were scoped out, broken into, and robbed. Hear what was going on all over River Heights and St. Boniface - including in Norwood Flats- that included bikes, ladders, and possibly "moving" trucks. With parents fearing for the safety of their small children and their pets, and homeowners sleeping with one eye open, maybe some city councilors and the Mayor will speak to the victims they need to help protect from the decline of neighborhood safety.

I know a lot of people are not even going to listen to this episode because I'm talking about stretching. Many runners seem to recoil from the topic of stretching. But if you get injured and you go to a physical therapist, you can take it to the bank that they are going to give you some stretching exercises to do.  Why?   Because stretching helps when you have tissue that is predisposed to injury because it's too tight.  When you have that issue, you need to stretch that tissue. Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about how stretching is like a rest day, finite pain that pays off. 

Body aching from hard rolls? Feeling stiff from lifting? If you take a day off you gotta make the most of it so you can renew your energy and feel better to face another week of Porrada.JT & Joey talk you through the step by step of how in a short space of time you can feel so much better. There is some solid science behind why certain things are more effective than others. From how you start the day, sleeping in, the morning routine, what to eat, helpful supplements, finding enjoyment in the natural environment and some surprise answers to soothe what ails you.

Community News and Interviews for the Catskills & Northeast Pennsylvania

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Rest Days vs Recovery Days, published by Unreal on the LessWrong. Based on a comment I made on this EA Forum Post on Burnout. Related links: Sabbath hard and go home, Bring Back the Sabbath That comment I made generated more positive feedback than usual (in that people seemed to find it helpful to read and found themselves thinking about it months after reading it), so I'm elevating it to a LW post of its own. Consider this an update to the original comment. Like Ben Hoffman, I stumbled upon and rediscovered the Sabbath (although my implementation seems different from both Ben and Zvi). I was experiencing burnout at CFAR, and while I wasn't able to escape the effects entirely, I found some refuge in the following distinction between Rest Days and Recovery Days. Recovery Days A Recovery Day is where you're so tired or under-resourced that you can't do much of anything with yourself other than: stay in bed / sleep a lot, binge on Netflix or video games, stay in your room all day, play with your phone, use social media, and feel unmotivated to do much except easy, stimulating, and/or mind-numbing things. This is a Recovery Day and does not count as a Rest Day, but it is fine to take the time for them. However you aren't going to be refreshed from them. In order to really refresh, you need to take another day that counts as a Rest Day. Another way a person might take time off is to do things that are like work but easier. Video games are a prime example. I play a lot of video games that involve optimizing systems, and I find these really motivating and fun. But I notice that this is a kind of "work"—my mind is trying to solve problems and implement solutions. The difference is that because it's easy and doable, I get addicted to them, and it's a way for me to escape the "real" problems at work, which tend to be harder to solve. This also doesn't count as Resting. Rest Days Rest Days are days where I have enough energy and resources that I feel motivated and able to get out and about. (One way I can tell I have energy is that sometimes I spontaneously feel like cooking, a rare occurrence.) On a Rest Day, your prime directive is to just "follow your gut" for the entire day and just do "what you feel like doing" in the moment. There can be no obligations on a Rest Day. No scheduled calls or meetings. No promises to show up to a party. You can go to the party if you actually feel like going to the party, but you won't be able to know until last-minute. You cannot be "on-call" for anything. No one should depend on you unless it's someone you actively like being depended on for things, like a person you care about. There can be exceptions to these, but I like to make Rest Days "sacred"—aka protected from influences like work pressure, social pressure, pressure from society, incentive gradients created by video games and my phone, incentive gradients created by money, the pressure to be different or better, the pressure to achieve, the pressure to always be going somewhere else, the pressure to "always be closing." Rest Days are for being in the Now. The Now needs to be protected from influences from both the past (obligations) and the future (anxieties). Rest Days will actually refresh and reset you. Unfortunately, many people do not know how to take Rest Days. They instead use weekends and vacation days as Recovery Days or days where their mind is still in "working" mode. But Recovery Days alone are not sufficient for refreshing your energy levels and motivation. You risk burnout if you consistently fail to get any true Rest over a long period of time. Things my gut wants to do on Rest Days: be in the present moment meditate (in a natural, spontaneous way) eat tasty things have a picnic in a park / take walks / enjoy nature chill at a cafe I like go to a museum or an aquarium...

Um, I bet you have a ton of friends because who wouldn't want you in their back pocket with an arsenal of information like that. Welcome. Welcome. I'm thankful to have you on the show. Thank you.  It's nice to be here. Finally meet you. I know we've been going back and forth for a little while, but we finally got it together. We do have a ton in common, but, um, tell us a little bit about your story. So as far as getting into the perimenopause and menopause scene, um, I've always been athletic. I've, I've been a trainer, uh, and right before COVID I started getting this mild sense of,  anxiety. And I'm a little high strung, but I never really, it never really consumed me where it stopped me from doing anything. And then kind of COVID. Um, my gym got shut down and everyone's like, oh, you're probably have anxiety because of the gym being shut down. And I was like, you know what? I'm so relaxed. This is the first break I've had since high school. You know, I went right from undergrad to grad school to opening up businesses and I've been never really taken a break. Right. So. I went to the doctor and he's like, oh yeah, here's some anxiety meds. Two months later it had gotten worse. And I was like, okay, it's worse. They gave me more, a higher dose. Then the next time I went in, because I still wasn't feeling good. He said, all right, now we're going to add one and we're going to increase the dose of this one. So by the time it was eight months, I was more anxious than I'd ever been. I was having a hard time focusing, sleeping. I was exhausted. Um, in all aspects of my life, um, my relationship was going down the tubes and I gained 20 pounds. Oh my God. I know. And as a fitness person owning a gym, I was beating myself up mentally. So this was very hard and I started having panic attacks, like shutting down type panic attacks, which I had never had in my life so those were scary.  I went in and I was like, listen, there's gotta be something else, like either I'm going crazy or something, but like the fact that I feel out of control, and when I look in the mirror, I don't recognize who I am like, that scares me. So he was like, oh, just go to a therapist. Well, I was done with that. So I was like, I'm going to find another doctor. So I actually went to a psychiatrist cause I'm like, I'm, I've lost it. I'm losing it. She said, let's, let's do some blood work. So it came back and she's like, oh, you're in peri-menopause. My immediate reaction was  I'm not over 50 and I'm 44 and I'm healthy. And, um, you know, these are things we don't know. Right. Uh, so she she's like, okay, we're going to put you on a very mild dose of HRT, which I was hesitant because you do hear bad things about it, which is from a study done years ago. She's like, I'm worried about you because  your amygdala and cortisol so high that you're, you're burning the candle. You're not getting any rest, and you're not, you're not gonna be able to bring yourself down with mindfulness because I was trying mindfulness and exercising more, even though I was not getting anywhere. So I went on that dose for two weeks, the minimal dose, and I have not had anxiety or a panic attack since, and it's been over probably about a year and a half. It completely changed my life. And then since then I started researching perimenopause and menopause and because I wanted to lose the weight, I was like, why am I not losing this weight? I need to get this off. So CrossFit five times a week, and then also running wasn't working. So I started researching on different ways of working out over 40. So I switched to high intensity training with total body and dumbbells. And not for me, not more than 15, 20 pounds, which for me is light singing and CrossFit, I'm doing 115 pounds over my head, you know, so I went lighter and I started focusing on full body movements and shorter workout. So 15, 20 minutes where I push really hard. And then I was doing yoga and recovery stuff, like mobility and flexibility. And I started dropping the weight and I also switched my diet, um, which I had done research too. So that's kinda how I got into it because I ended up seeing results with, um, me changing everything that I'd ever done from 40 and before that makes such good sense. I'm so happy to hear that hit was included in that. Cause I don't believe in working hard, I believe in working smart. So, you're preaching my kind of words. That's awesome. Well, good for you because I feel like so many people, they go to the doctor for answers and all they do is write out that prescription and it doesn't help. And you were looking for solid answers and they didn't even tell you, Hey, you know, like let's run some blood work and see where some of your numbers are at, and then getting them a lot of times to run the numbers that you want to see too, is another whole chore. I'm sure you have a lot of that from the big sigh. Well, it's hard seeing other women go through this all the time now. Like, because they'll come to, if I post something on my face. Hey ladies, like, do you even know what the symptoms of perimenopause are? Cause I didn't. I was like, I did it. And so many women that are Mike my age, or I graduated high school with started commenting like, Hey, so what is this? I think I'm going through this. And it made me realize like women out there don't know. So that's kind of also where my passion came from. I'm like, listen, I can use what I've learned in my expertise in the last 20 years and come up with something that can help women when they're in this 50, you know, 55 year old range where you can feel lost and not even sure what the heck is going on with you. And, we need to be educated earlier in life that this is going to happen. It's not just pregnancy to menopause. There's an in-between in there. Tony Robbins calls it make your mess, your message. I think you have slam dunk that. Um, so I know you have something called the Fit Menopause Blueprint. Can you talk about that. Yeah.  I basically took what I did and turned it into a 12 week program. Cause it took me about 10 weeks to get back to where I was before all this craziness happened. So, um, women at my gym were like, what are you doing? I want to do what you're doing. Cause they're, they were probably in their 50, 55 area. And they had been at my. Come in three, four times a week working out hard. I could see it, but they were like, I don't, I'm not getting any results. My body's not changing. So I said, well, listen, why don't we put you on this program? I just put myself on like a beta group and put you through it. Sure. So they started dropping weight, sleeping better. Um, and this is without HRT sleeping better digestion stuff changed. All these effects started happening and they were like, this is so good. You need to take it outside. What we're doing here in little Hendersonville North Carolina. So that's kind of when I started expanding and put it online . And it's basically four pillars, fitness, which I kind of went over. I use HIIT training, but it's delivered via an app where there's videos posted. So you don't need to guess, uh, what, what that is that I re written there, there's a video demonstrating awesome trainer who did all that stuff and then with that there's glutes and abs daily, uh, there's a recovery day where, um, You get a foam roller and I'll cross ball and everything in this package with the it's called a FIT package. And then on Sundays, there's like a 20 minute video where you're using things to recover. So fitness is like kind of whole body. We also do yoga for the warmups. So it's kind of a little bit of everything, but it's not like CrossFit where, I mean, you're exhausted every time you're done Cross Fit. Cause if you don't do it that way, It's it almost feels like you're not doing it right. So in my head, it's like, you've got to push to that zone. Well, with this, it's like, you're still pushing hard, you're sweating, you're, tired, but you're not stressing your adrenals and your cortisol levels. So it's, it's a better recovery and it doesn't, you're actually going to get results. So that's the fitness. The nutrition part. I use My Fitness Pal. Oh, the other thing about the fitness part. So at the end of that workout, you have to hit complete. So I get alerted. So it's a ton of accountability each day, I'm looking for that." I've completed it." And if I see like two, three days, cause it'll show me how many they've completed for the week. So if it's a red, like, Hey, where have you been? So if somebody struggles with accountability, this is like a really good way of doing. It's not just going to be workout delivered and I don't ever see again, the other thing is the nutrition. I use My Fitness Pal, cause that's what I like to use. And every night at the end of the day, they have to send me a picture of their macros.  I use macros to help ladies, cause you got to start getting more protein. The older we are, so got to kind of switch that carb protein balance. And then some ladies, we include a little bit of intermittent fasting because the macros aren't quite enough. So, and I've used both and I intermittent both of those actually. I don't ever do like a full day of fasting though. I feel like I'd be an angry woman. So for me, for me, a full day of fasting does it kind of, but I can do like 12 to eight eating and then not eat for that, whatever that is, 16 hours. So. That's kind of how the nutrition works. So a lot of accountability with nutrition, if you're having a struggle and you're like my fats too high, I don't know how to get it down. I can go in your diary and say, Hey, this is what you ate that day. This is really high in fat. Maybe try to find something else that switch out. So it's a lot of back and forth. And then mindset.  We do weekly calls as a group. So as a group, we work through different issues and we start those zoom calls with wins,struggles and goals for next week. So there's a lot of accountability in the group. And with the mindset part, we talk about different things each week. So like one week is menopause and anxiety. Um, another one is menopause and decreased libido, um, things like that, so that we can talk about them. People can talk about their issues and then we work on them. And then the last pillars self care. I'm a big proponent of taking care of your body and not necessarily doing it yourself, massages, acupuncture, anything where you're getting worked on and you get to lay there and relax,  get your nails done. I'm not, I'm not to get your nails done type person, but some people find that relaxing. Creating an environment where you're changing your lifestyle. Everyone thinks that like they have to do endless cardio. That's not true. The more cardio you actually do and less weight training, you're just offsetting any,  any gains you're going to make. So you can't just go and do cardio nonstop. That's not going to get you there as far as eating. You also don't want to do a restrictive calorie diet, right? Like those are not, they've shown that those are not good. You end up getting more weight when you come off of those or you start craving things and then you, you end up cheating and then bingeing. So I have to have a big fan of that. I literally learned this morning they've done a study on that it was about restricting your calories and , that success rate was 0.01% point. Oh, this is what America is preaching. And your success rate people is going to be 0.01. That's so pretty crappyodds. Yeah, and a lot of people do that and doctors tell you to do that. Exactly. They don't have nutrition degrees, and they'll tell you, you got to work out more and eat less. Yeah. That's like the worst advice you could give anybody. That's like setting them up for failure. No wonder why people don't like to diet. That's that's the other mindset part is working on women's nutrition. I like to go out and have a good dinner somewhere once a week but a lot of women torture themselves if they have a bad meal or bad day, and then it ends up turning into a weekend and then a week, and they're like, okay, I'm going to start Monday. I'm gonna start Monday. But so in this, it's very, very important that we teach the mindset around; it's okay to go have a bad meal. It's okay to have some glasses of wine that night, wherever you want. But the next day you need to get in, in a workout. Even if it's a 30 minute walk, whatever it is you want to do. Eat healthy that day, because then you're not gonna, you're not gonna ruin anything you've been working on. Exactly. I tell you your meal, same thing. If you have to have that slice of pizza, it's not the greatest thing for you. I know that, you know what? I always think. I always tell people there's always better options too. You know, like if you, if you make it yourself, you can use organic cheese and things like that, but whatnot. But because. You just, you end up eating 30 things that probably a more caloric than the thing you wanted to eat in first place. And, you know, it's like just eat it and you get that satiety and then you can move on and tomorrow's another day, you know, but it hasn't totally do deprivation. Yeah. Don't be nice. You have a bad meal that day. And then the. Don't beat yourself up and move on because yeah, you're still going to see results that way. I know people won't say that, but you will still see results if you're putting in the time and you're cause you want to enjoy food. I mean, that's the other thing why women quit is they're like, I'm starving myself and I'm only living once and they go on this whole tangent. I've heard, it's like, no, I want you to enjoy something. I want you to enjoy what you like. You just can't enjoy it every day. I mean, it's just exactly. I have a culinary degree, I'm from New York and I'm Italian. So yeah, food's been a major priority in my life. So I understand everything that you're saying,  don't beat yourself up, have something that you enjoy.  If I packed my suitcase, I might cheat , so that's my self-care rule. If I really want something, that's just going to make me feel really good, then I will do it. Um, so what, um, we went through the whole blueprint. I have to ask a question. Purely selfish reasons. I'm curious to know, like with women in menopause, the macros with your proteins and your carbs, what kind of ratio are you at? I found what works with  85% of the people I've put through this 40 protein, 30 cards and 30 Fat. And we start off with just getting those ratios. And then after two, three weeks, we work on cleaning up, what's making up those ratios. So the tricky part is just getting to those ratios and then once you're there, it's cleaning it up and making it more whole foods and, you know, healthier options that are making up your. You know, a carb is not a carb, you know, like a sweet potato sure. As heck isn't, you know, a bag of chips, you know, it's just not, not the same thing. I'm always saying you can always look for better options. What is a question that women often ask with menopause? Maybe there's something maybe that they didn't know about? Like, what is maybe the aha. Cause One that comes to my mind pretty quickly is. Just like I did when she said I was in peri-menopause. All I heard was menopause. And in my head, my mom hit menopause at 56. So I was like, what? I'm 44. So there's actually stages. So like, that's the thing, like there's menopause, which is one year of not having your period. Perimenopause can happen , I've heard numbers anywhere from five  to 10 years before menopause. So that's important though, because if people want a menopause, the average age is 51. So if you go into menopause, peri-menopause at 41, most women are not going to have any idea that a lot of their things going on, lack of sleep restless, exhaustion, night sweats, which it happened to me during COVID. So I would wake up every morning and take my temperature thinking I had COVID cause the bed would be soaking wet. And I thought I had a fever. That'll help your anxiety too. Yeah. So things like that, or decrease in sex or even sometimes painful sex starts happening in your forties to where. They just start not wanting to have sex and they don't really realize why, but there's there is help out there. And again, I'm more on the natural side where, you know, with exercise, nutrition, and mindset, you can actually decrease a lot of these symptoms and live, uh, you know, a healthy, well balanced life with, even though you'll have the symptoms, you can't get rid of them, but they can be managed to be right and make a manageable lesson than not, not so severe. I agree. We are really on the same page.  I think people don't put enough stock into the diet, exercise and mindset. People want the quick fix and  that's a hard thing to work with. It is not going to take a week 10 pounds. It's going to take a week now that we're over 40 to lose a pound, maybe a pound and a half. It's not that three pounds that you, we used to lose know in our thirties. So yeah, we've got to be educated earlier in life, basically. Um, to know that this is time because a lot of women will struggle the whole 10 years and then they'll hit menopause and they'll, there'll be like, oh, Oh, you were facing those symptoms, but you can, 35 year olds can start experiencing perimenopause. It depends on when your menopause data. So, um, and everybody's different. So it's, it helps to know this stuff before you actually get there. Being educated on your body and what it's doing is very important. When I was going through this and I had no idea what was happening to me, I kept forgetting things, I used to be able to read something and then be able to write it down over here. Like really good memory. In the gym. I would walk over to write something down on a post-it and I get over there to like, what was I going to write down? And then I'd walk back over here and I'd remembered. And it was like this weird, I couldn't remember things. Somebody would say something. And I was like, I got to remember that. And I couldn't remember it. And I was like, what is, I was like, I'm getting early onset Alzheimer's. And that happens too, in that 40 to 50, things just slip your mind. And you're like, whoa, like, whoa, it scares me before, you know, they go for it. It scares you before you know that you're in peri menopause cause you're like, what is going on with my brain something's happening? And you're scared that it is something like Alzheimer's or my mom died of, geo blastoma brain cancer, which is a beast. It scares the bejesus out of me,  and I have the thyroid, which is always related to memory. Woe is me with between both of them now. Holy cow. Um, but, um, so like maybe let's pick something. I know that women with the hot flashes, I had a sister who I remember visiting once and I never took off my coat because their house was blooming 50 degrees. It was like, is it cold in here? I was like, can I see my breath? I'm like, geez.  Do you have any hacks that can help women be more comfortable? let me think about this one.  I know about a thing called a chilly pad that they make that goes in your bed. Um, but is there anything else. Is there any food cause more? Oh, there are foods that cause more it's spicy foods can trigger hot flashes. I think caffeine, uh, a lot of caffeine can trigger hot flashes.  I never had a hot flash during the day, mine are always at night and I know some people have them during the day. But, I know it and work places. It's hard cause you can't quite communicate with your employer, but having a fan, having a fan around you during the day, I've heard women talk about that. But a  a lot of women will sleep with like the temperature very low and it, it like freezes their significant other super good for your health and your sleep quality. So I don't think that's a bad thing I also know about they make a fan and it, it is L shaped and it sits between the fitted sheet and the flat sheet and it kinda more on one person, um, than the other. And it kinda get it from the toes up. Um, I, my sister went through the hammers of hell with, with the hot flashes. I mean, to this day, I'm not real sure. Um, it's kind of like when they happen, they they're going to happen, but that's the thing fitness, nutrition, mindset as you can, with incorporating that into your life, you are going to be able to, have decreased amount of those and less debilitating. Um, there'll be shorter, they won't happen as often,  and there are some natural things, which I'm not a big speaker on, but there are some natural supplements which, um, we'll go over my summit in a second. A lot of things mentioned about things that will help with hot flashes and getting better sleep and things like that. I agree with you though that again, I think they're the best hack is the diet, the exercise and the mindset. And if you can reduce  the frequency, the duration, and, any of that. That's awesome. I mean, that, that's a huge hack. So  another kind of personal selfish question here. What are the changes since you're like exercise queen and menopause lady here, um, women over like 40, what needs to change in the gym. A couple things, one, you need to let you need to lift weights. I mean, gone are the days of just cardio because also when you hit 40, your, our bone mass and our muscle mass starts to naturally decrease. So if you're not doing anything, you're going to decrease at a faster rate compared to those of us that are active lifting weights. We are gonna, we are going to offset that degeneration change. I mean, is it going to happen ultimately? Yes, but like, we can slow it down, try to maintain a level where it's at, but you have to lift weights in the gym. It doesn't mean you've got to go out there and lift 500 pounds over your head. Dumbbells, like even any amount of extra weight that you want to use. You can also do body weight, but it's not going to be as good as resistance training and weight training. Plus do weight training increases your metabolism longer? Spending an hour on the treadmill. So that's important. And then,  you don't want to go and spend two hours in the gym and you also don't want to do things like called two-a-days, where you do an hour of cardio in the morning, and then a weight session at night.  Your body's not going to be able to recover. You're going to exhaust it. And your cortisol is going to raise your stress levels are going to raise and your body's not going to get the results that you want it to because it's not having enough time to recover. So you got to look at it as you want to get a good workout in, but you do not want to go out firing on all cylinders. I love that. And you just confirmed, like everything that I believe. It just makes sense if, if you're going to do cardio and then what is your burn last an hour or two, whatever and you can do something that could last six or eight hours. Hello? Like why would it shorter, shorter workout? You can do a 20 minute weight workout compared to endless cardio. And you're still, they're still not going to have the advantage that the person lifting weights. Does.I didn't know that tidbit. That's awesome. But yeah, it just, it's just, it's smarter. It's just smarter and it's its face and it's less boring.  And you don't want to get stuck in a routine that's the other thing. Yes, this is where the CrossFit comes in. Constantly varied. High-intensity interval training. You do not want to do the same workout. So to me, gone are the days of chest and tricep days back in bicep days, and then leg days, like you need to be doing total body every time you work out, not the same exercises though, different exercises and different workouts. So variety is also going to get you better results than doing the same workout. So trainers, there are good trainers out there. There's trainers, you've got to have a certain skillset for my thinking. Like you can't just have a personal training certificate. I feel like my chiropractic degree made me such a better trainer because we worked on cadavers. I got to see the muscles and where they connected, and I have a better understanding . Not every, trainer's going to be a chiropractor, but there are some out there with kinesiology degrees, with sports medicine, all sorts of different degrees, other than just a personal training degree, you want somebody who understands what that exercise is doing to your body, because then if you're doing it wrong, you're not going to get injured where you can't work out or if you're injured, they can rehab you the same time you're working out. So I'm a big proponent of find a trainer that knows what they're doing and it's not just about, 20 years experience. It's what, they've what they've learned in that process. Like what other degrees have they brought to the. Right. Just because you've done it a long time doesn't make you good at what, at that. I've always believed that regardless of the industry. you know, it's funny, sometimes I don't run often, but I do find running really good for my, my mind. I definitely get that runner's high. And if I'm really stressed out, instead of like going to see a counselor, I will run and I'll usually maybe do like twice a month. I don't do it very often. But, um, when I do see other people running their like form is so off, like I just really want to run up to them and I'm like, you are so messing up your hips, you know, it drives me crazy. People don't take the time to like, everything is on like YouTube today. It's just right there.  Don't take one person to. Find like 10 that are consistently saying a very similar thing. Um, but like learn how to do things so that you're not injuring yourself.  It's very important. Yes long-term so that you last really working out as a lifestyle, like there should never be a point in your life where you're like, I'm not working out, like at 90, at 90. I want to be able to be active. That doesn't mean. Slam dunking a basketball or anything, but I want to be able to move around it and enjoy life and, and take a hike if I want without having to be on a Walker and a wheelchair. So it is really important to embrace it. This is just, you got to get out of the mindset of, I hate this or this is torture, it's gotta be something you're enjoying and it's doing so much for you on so many levels. It's, it's just a natural therapist. I agree with you. I take off Sundays and I do this the excess amount of time that I gained in the day, but I don't really like it because I really like working out and knowing that I did that for myself, it's purelyhead game thing. It is.  But regarding getting older and whatnot, I know that you can regenerate muscle growth in through your eighties, which is so cool. People like, oh, I'm 50 it's too late. No, no, no more excuses. That is not true. And I love finding YouTube videos of people who are doing extraordinary things in their later years. Like I saw this lady 101 doing a split. I was like, that's so cool. She did actually, she was like a yoga instructor for years and she could do a backbend that like 101. That is what I want to do. I can't even do a backbend now.  Don't know if I'll ever be able to do that. I just have never been flexible and I've had back surgery, but it was wicked cold to me that if you stay mobile, you know, and they also say about less falls,  when you do walking lunges and things like that, it keeps your balance going and then you'll have less falls later on. But all this is so important to know. Ah, yeah. And don't don't, I don't want people to think. I, I hate running. I actually love running. I love, uh, endurance. I do obstacle course racing, which is anywhere from nine to 15 miles. So I love running, but I, because of, I feel like you can run, you can overrun and again, stress. If I'm running a train for something it's maybe twice a week, I'll do one shorter run during the week because I enjoy it. And then one longer one on the weekend. So I just don't overdo the running but running. Right. It still makes you feel good. It releases your endorphins. So if you like running, go for it, just, you just don't want to do it every day. I agree with, and it is not the best exercise. I am a huge proponent in HIIT.  I just personally think that's where it's at, but I do vary up my routine. One of the principles that I learned in my personal,  certificate class is that your body is a tent pole and they said, you need to stress it from all sides equally. Well, you fall over and that makes really good sense. And it's a really good analogy for people to grasp on because it's true. You need, you need to work out everything. It shouldn't be exclusive of. Oh, I just like leg. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or women that are like, I just need to get rid of my bye-bye arm. I have here. I'm like, I just want to do. That's not going to burn any calories full body is what's going to burn the calories. So yes, absolutely. So tell me about the summit. It looks very interesting. I've been spying. Um, I'm like, this sounds cool. So I interviewed 30 speakers experts in perimenopause, menopause, nutrition, fitness mindset, self care, and intimacy, even which are the we're the fun ones. Um, yeah. So it's October 25th through the 27th, it's free the initial parts free. If you just want to hear the base interviews are free. We do have some bonus interviews that get just a little bit more in depth or one lady had a show and tell I'll just say that.  Which caught me off guard, but like I loved it. The first initial interviews, which are about 20 to 30 minutes are free, and there's 30 speakers.  You can watch it at home at work it's virtual. And not only that, but, um, so that day you have 24 7 access to those videos without the upgrade. Each speaker gives like a free ebook or a free, linked to something that you're really gonna love, like a bonus. And this, is at www.maneuveringmenopausesummit.com. And again, you just sign up, it's a couple of weeks away and invite your friends. You can watch it together, but I feel like this is also good for anybody in their thirties, because you're going to be so much more. Because the fitness and nutrition stuff, you can relate to your life now, no matter what age you are, let's, let's face it. Any of that you can, or even mindset. Yes. Um, we got hormone experts talking about HRT, non HRT, you know, natural things. There's just so much good, good stuff in there in such a wide range of topics that you will get something out of it. And again, you might as well sign up it's free and. Yeah. And like I said, invite your friends, have a glass of wine. Don't tell anybody I said that.  But you can go online or water.   I got so many good speakers on board and they just, they were so fun to interview.  I learned so much and I was the one interviewing. It just made me better at what I'm doing. And I feel like it'll make you better for your own journey that you're on and you'll learn so much. Cause they're really knowledgeable and been doing this for so long. So, right. I just want to add to the audience idea that I think like if you get two glasses of clean wine and you go with your partner to the event, because like they need to know too, because it giving them the insight of like what the heck's going on in my world. They will look at you vastly different, you know what I'm saying? Like you're giving them some clues as to, Hey, why is she acting like that? Why is she sweating all the time? Why is she getting moody? Or why is she forgetful? But to hear it from a professional perspective like that I think is just a game changer, you know? So I think everybody should go. I think I will definitely help you market that because I, I do think that there's a lot of ignorance out there, unfortunately. It's just something people don't talk about. We, and we need to educate ourselves, you know, it's your body. Um, and, and you need to know it's that simple. And again, you can get there, you can get there two ways,  the maneuveringmenopausesummit.com or DrShelleyburns.comnot not spelled out Dr. Shelley burns.com. That's the other way to get there. Um, but again, it's going to be fun. It's going to be fun if you don't want to, if you don't have time to sit there and listen, like I said, you can upgrade to the All Access pass, which just gives you 24 7 access for up to a year. So if you don't have time to sit there and watch 10 interviews in one day, and then there's also notes, um, I'm going through myself and taking notes on each speaker. So I'll be able to, there'll be those too. It sounds really, really cool. So one last question. My signature question.  If you could eliminate one thing in this world, what would it be and why? And it can't be hot flashes. Well, I don't have those. That probably wouldn't be something I'd say. well right now with how crazy I think the world is  me personally I feel like even though it drives my business, social media is, A place that's opened up a place for people to be mean hurtful lower other people's self-esteem and confidence. And bully kids, and not only that, but like pedophiles and stuff. Like they all, they all use social media as a means to hurt people.  If you could get rid of that, I feel like people would start having, connections again and conversations without just sitting on their computer in their rooms, typing all day. I feel like we're starting to lack connected. I agree. I agree. And especially with, with the distance thing , the no hugging, and the no touching.. I  do a lot of social media but I love it because I don't get into any of that. And I have like 5,000 friends. It's very rare when I have to like kick somebody off my list, you know? But, um, it's that when you see like a relative though, right?  I don't engage with, I engage with healthy conversations or just worry about promoting education to people. I don't worry about. What other people say or, or anything like that. But when you see like a relative post something and you're like, okay, I didn't need to know that that was a, your opinion of that, right? Like you're like, yeah, my mother-in-law say  you can only pick your friends, you can't pick your relatives. So what are you going to do, limit your time and your conversation. That was always my answer. Uh, Shelly you it's really great to have you today. Thank you so much for all this information.  And I can't wait for your summit to come out on the 25th of October, maneuveringmenopausesummit.com, maneuvering menopause summit, maneuvering menopause, summit.com. I will put all that in the show notes.

Skill-building and an Entrepreneurial Spirit Supports Recovery Having been an early and successful eBay user, Bill Tymoszczuk, AKA Bill T, discovered that eBay could be a great mechanism for making money and wanted to transfer that knowledge to support the men and women in recovery - he soon learned that technology skill-building along with an entrepreneurial spirit was essential in order to greatly reduce the risk that often threatens recovery. You can listen to the podcast below or wherever you listen to podcasts. Enjoy!  

In this episode of the podcast I dive into planning a recovery as well as what considerations for adequate recovery. However, if you just aim to achieve physical recovery you could be missing out on other important aspects of getting your body right again. I discuss why recovery days are important, as well as common mistakes I see people making when planning their own recovery days. I then explore what you need to assess when planning a day as well as what you should include.
