Dr. Yuthika Girme took one undergrad course on interpersonal relations, which completely altered the trajectory of her career and led her down the path of researching relationship science. In this episode, Dr. Yuthika unpacks the science behind close relationships and singlehood. She also covers the impact of online dating, how social scripts impact relationships, and how to build a balanced relationship with yourself before—and during—a romantic one.References:- Dr. Yuthika Girme: https://www.sfu.ca/psychology/about/people/current-faculty/ygirme.html- SECURE Research Lab: https://secureresearchlab.com- SECURE Research Lab on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/securelab.sfu/- Simon Fraser University: https://www.sfu.ca- University of Auckland: https://www.auckland.ac.nzTimestamps:00:00 Introduction01:15 From clinical psych to relationship science03:48 What relationship science actually explores05:50 Predictors of lasting relationships08:50 How communication changes depending on relationship type10:15 Does dating change as you get older?11:55 The biggest misconception in dating13:18 How social media distorts our perception of relationships14:48 What singlehood science examines16:33 Validating singlehood without devaluing partnership20:09 The toll of singlehood22:42 How different generations approach marriage23:59 Does the biological clock impact dating?25:48 How online dating impacts connection 33:46 The science behind partner selection36:32 Balance between self and relationships42:55 Dating scripts and gendered norms

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy lifestyle Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Show Summary & Time Stamps: Title: Peak Span Living: A2 Milk, Oxalates, and AI-Optimized Health [0:00:00] Intro, and Today's Agenda Ed previews today's focus: A1 vs. A2 milk Ed's “Where did Ed eat this week in Chattanooga?” food rundown. [0:02:43] “Where Did Ed Eat?” – Restaurant Choices & Macro Strategy Ed's restaurant decision “trifecta”: Macros & food quality (close to the earth, protein and fats quality). Type of fat (prefers healthy fats; brings his own olive oil). Carbs ≤ 60 grams per meal when possible. Stops & comments: Maple Street Biscuit Company – Impressed overall; chooses a bowl (eggs, bacon, avocado, tomato, feta) instead of biscuits to keep carbs lower. Doc Holiday (Hixson) – Tallow-cooked foods, excellent broccoli, “biker bar” vibe but friendly. Miller's Ale House – Fresh salad with olive oil only; hamburger steak (no gravy) with mushrooms/onions; occasional baked potato post–workout for carbs. Acropolis – Long-time favorite; good quality foods. Only criticism: no real butter for steak (avoids margarine). Portofino – Typically orders shish kebabs (high protein, low carb), with broccoli and salad; brings own olive oil.  Harry's at Hamilton Place – Custom “Lexatonian” salad, light dressing, double ground beef = high protein, moderate carbs, low fat (adds olive oil). Transition: Ed mentions hiring PR expert Amy Summers (NYC) to push Nutrition World and The Holistic Navigator onto national TV. [0:08:36] New Ebooks & Key Health Themes Ed outlines his growing ebook library (free at theholisticnavigator.com/resources): Sleep: Strategies for improving restorative sleep. “Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?”  Food choices Nutrients Ed's personal ~68 pills/day longevity stack (not a recommendation, but max-longevity model). Immune System: Maintenance + what to do “when under the weather.” Oxalates:How certain “healthy” foods (oxalates) can destroy joints and drive pain. Core Four: If you only take four supplements, which foundational ones matter most from Ed's 47 years of observation. (Coming) Using AI to massively optimize health & fitness – Ed uses AI multiple times a day to optimize training, eating, supplements, and protein for his upcoming Chattanooga Fitness bodybuilding contest (11 weeks out). Quick side notes: Iodine nasal spray – New formulation he and Clint like: less burn, better value, used 2–3x/day. Reminder about Best of the Best local voting, including Nutrition World and podcast nominations. [0:15:38] Fruits/Veg & Lung Cancer Article, Glyphosate, and “Health Halo” Effect Topic: Article headline – more fruits and vegetables linked to higher lung cancer risk (under age 50). Ed's three-part interpretation: Glyphosate (Roundup) exposure: More produce = more glyphosate, unless it's clean. References Dr. Zach Bush's work on glyphosate and chronic disease. Suggests Fire Hawk herbicide (sold at Nutrition World) as a glyphosate-free yard option (dehydrates plants rather than poisoning). Fear as a toxin – Long-term fear can crush health, even when intentions are to “eat healthy.” Health halo compensation effect: Study reviewed by Dr. Greger (nutritionfacts.org): Adding healthy foods to fast-food menus led people to eat more unhealthy items: “If I eat the salad/broccoli, I can have double fries + dessert.” Psychological “armor” effect from one healthy choice leading to more indulgence. [0:19:38] Supplements, Safety Fears, Herbs & Tryptophan Case Discussion of fear-driven headlines around herbs and liver toxicity: Example: a Chinese herb flagged for liver issues; deeper read shows cases involved people also on multiple drugs. Comfrey is the one herb Ed agrees shouldn't have been sold widely due to genuine liver toxicity (Nutrition World doesn't sell it). Tryptophan contamination incident (25–30 years ago): One bad overseas batch contaminated in production (likely bacterial issue). Resulted in deaths, but: Problem was manufacturing contamination, not tryptophan itself. Takeaway: Quality and clean manufacturing are crucial. Long-standing, widely used herbs/supplements would have more robust safety signals by now if they were truly dangerous. [0:21:41] Toilet Paper Chemicals & “Real” Brand Recommendation Ed cites testing from Mamavation on toxic chemicals in toilet paper: Concern: endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that can be absorbed through sensitive, moist tissue. Ed's preferred brand at Nutrition World: Reel: 3-ply, No inks, dyes, BPA and made from bamboo. “Lower-chemical” grocery-store options from the Mamavation testing: Angel Soft 230+ Cottonelle Mega Ultra Kirkland Bath Tissue (Costco) Trader Joe's toilet paper Quilted Northern Ultra Plush Clint's push: Rather than memorize brands and chemistry, just shop where you trust the vetting (e.g., Nutrition World). [0:25:03] A1 vs. A2 Milk, Lactose Intolerance & Ancient Nutrition A2 Study discussed (Chinese adults, n=600): Compared: Conventional milk (contains A1 beta-casein) vs A2-only milk (contains A2 beta-casein). Key findings: Reduced GI symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, etc.) with A2 milk. Benefits observed across different age groups, both lactose absorbers and malabsorbers. Implications: Many who believe they're lactose intolerant may actually be reacting to A1 casein, not lactose. A2 milk/protein could allow some to tolerate dairy better. Practical angle: Ed personally drinks Ancient Nutrition A2 protein and tolerates it very well. Clint notes some standard protein drinks upset his digestion. [0:27:11] Autism, EMFs, and Mitigation Tools Framing: Autism as a systems issue, not a single-disease point. Cites Dr. Martha Herbert's perspective: Autism may develop from environmental irritants that excite the brain: Toxins (e.g., mercury, glyphosate) Allergens EMFs (electromagnetic fields) Vaccine adjuvants/excipients, etc. EMFs & mitigation: Ed acknowledges we can't avoid EMFs (phones, Wi-Fi, 5G), but we can reduce exposure. Tools Ed uses: SafeSleeve phone case: Claims ~90% EMF reduction; Ed's own measurements suggest ~60%. Effective when phone is close to the body. Blue Shield EMF devices: Plugs in, emits “healthy EMF” fields that may reduce impact of other EMFs. Ed uses a ~$500 model in his bedroom. Mentions BlueShield.com, discount code “nutworld”. [0:30:40] Paternal Exercise & Offspring Fitness (MicroRNA Study) Citing work discussed by Peter Attia: Paternal exercise before conception can improve offspring endurance capacity. Mechanism: changes in sperm microRNA profiles. Mouse model: Transferring RNA from fit to unfit mice improved fitness traits in offspring. Ed's takeaway: Yet another compelling reason for men to exercise before having children. Wonders if his own daughter benefited from his lifelong fitness. [0:35:37] Peak Span, Aging, Sleep, Mouth Tape & Oxalate Pain Ed defines “Peak Span” as: The period of life where we maintain near-optimal health, vitality, and energy (like our 20s). Notes U.S. spends $5.1 trillion on healthcare (18% of GDP) yet ranks 35/36 among high-income countries in outcomes. Mistakes shortening peak span: Poor diet (inflammatory foods, bad fats, high carbs). Confusion around what “healthy eating” means. Underestimating small daily habits. Sleep: 25% of Americans have diagnosable insomnia, ~50% have occasional insomnia 1st big issue: loss of sleep rhythm: Irregular bedtimes fragment circadian patterns. Recommends going to bed within 1 hour of the same time most nights. Single high-impact change: stop mouth breathing at night. Ed has used mouth tape for ~25 years. Benefits: less anxiety, better restorative sleep (cites James Nestor's “Breath”). Uses an Oura Ring and sees notable improvements with mouth taping. Pain & Oxalates: Ed's history: 25 years of rotating pains; then severe hip pain leading to bilateral hip replacement. Suspects long-term high oxalate diet as a major contributor. High-oxalate foods he over-consumed: Spinach Beets Almonds & almond butter Raspberries and other known high-oxalate foods. Source: Sally Norton's “Toxic Superfoods”. Elimination approach: No perfect test; best method is removing high-oxalate foods and observing. Often, pain temporarily worsens in 2–4 weeks as oxalates mobilize, then improves. Result: Now, near age 69, Ed reports zero pain after hip replacements + oxalate restriction. [0:44:14] Using AI as a Health & Fitness Coach Ed uses AI (specifically ChatGPT) as a: Training coach for his bodybuilding prep (11 weeks out). Nutrition advisor and accountability partner. Inputs: Goals and timeline. Age, weight, health status. Photos of himself. Photos of every meal (taken at a 45° angle). AI provides: Calorie and macro estimates (calories often “spot on”). Advice: “Too much / too little,” adjust protein/fat/carbs. Day-to-day training and nutrition refinements. Role vs. human coaching: Doesn't replace human experts; can complement them. Ed still believes in a “team” approach (quality practitioners + AI). [0:46:00] Where to Find Ed's Content & Resources Ed's main platforms: TikTok: “Nutrition World Tennessee” – many short-form health and performance clips (especially athletics). Website: nutritionw.com – hub for: Store Articles, videos, education. The Holistic Navigator (theholisticnavigator.com): Home for his ebooks (sleep, immune, oxalates, core four, AI & health, etc.). Long-form educational content. Podcasts / Radio: Vital Health Radio – full archive at vitalhealthradio.com and all major podcast apps. Other shows hosted or shared via noogapodcasts.com (Clint's platform). [0:52:21] Melatonin, Sleep, Cold Therapy, and Upcoming Peptide Episode Melatonin: Notes that ~99% of melatonin on the market is synthetic. Issues some people experience with synthetic forms: Vivid dreams & Inconsistent sleep quality. Recommends Symphony brand: Plant-derived melatonin, not synthesized. Immune aspects: Mentions integrative cancer doctors using high-dose melatonin in protocols. References Dr. Michael Smith discussing high-dose melatonin in COVID on The Holistic Navigator. Cold therapy & gout: Dr. Greger review: cold-water immersion for gout: 20 minutes/day in cold water for a few weeks: ↓ pain, stress, anxiety, depression. ↑ joint mobility, activity, quality of life. For general muscle pain, cold immersion: Only helps during immersion; no lasting benefit. Heat is more beneficial for ongoing muscle pain after the acute phase. Exception: first ~24 hours post-injury when cold can curb acute inflammation (classic RICE). Peptides & future content: Mentions RFK Jr. and the possibility of peptide injections reaching shelves with regulatory shifts.

If the words ‘let me know if you need anything’ make you panic instead of feel supported — this one’s for you. This Quick Reset is a nervous system-level sigh of relief for the mums who feel safest surviving in silence. If you’ve ever shut down instead of speaking up, snapped when someone finally offered to help, or felt like asking for support meant erasing your worth — this episode will hit home. Hard. We unpack the trauma behind “I’ve got it,” the invisible legacy of pathological self-reliance, and how masking your needs became part of your personality. But it’s not who you are — it’s what you learned. It’s time to stop waiting until burnout to be visible. This episode offers small scripts, mindset shifts, and reframes that make asking for help feel less like failure — and more like a form of love. ✨ IN THIS RESET: Why asking for help feels like failure (especially for high-functioning women) How ‘good girl conditioning’ trained you to suppress needs Why no one notices you're struggling — and why that’s not your fault The trauma loop of independence, silence, and resentment Scripts to ask for support without shame When your meltdown isn’t about dinner — it’s about years of invisible labour Rewiring your worth away from being useful Real-life strategies to pre-negotiate support (before the spiral) Giving yourself the grace to stop performing strength

In contemporary society, we face more choices--and more decisions--than ever before. This can sometimes feel like a curse as much as it is also a blessing, especially for those of us struggle with indecisiveness.  In today's episode, we discuss mindsets around decision-making that can help us find more ease around the little decisions ("What should I order from the menu?") and the big decisions ("Should I quit my job?").  References: Dr. Russ Harris article about hard decisions Sheryl's next round of her course, "Trust Yourself," starting on May 17th The Healing Anxiety Workbook April's Gathering Gold bonus episode for the Patreon: Emotional Support for Spring Cleaning Marie Kondo Happenstance Theory of career development Past Lives (2023) The Serenity Prayer Join our Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/gatheringgold

This was a really eventful week for AI regulation, with the first rules of the AI Act starting to apply on Sunday, February 2nd and the EU Commission releasing Guidelines on Tuesday (prohibited practices) and Thursday (scope of AI systems). To cap it all, a first-ever class action under the new framework (alongside the GDPR and the Digital Services Act) was filed on Wednesday against X-Twitter and TikTok.  The following conversation with Markus Wünschelbaum, with a particular focus on digital advertising and AdTech, preceded and rightly anticipated these developments.  Dr. Markus Wünschelbaum currently serves as Policy and Data Strategy Advisor to Hamburg's Data Protection Commissioner Thomas Fuchs. In this role, he advises on key data protection & AI policies and strategic initiatives. Previously, he was responsible for imposing fines, fundamental GDPR issues, and freedom of information. He began his career focusing on the intersection of labor law and data protection, having published an acclaimed doctoral thesis on this topic and working at an international law firm.

We delve into Raina's journey of rediscovering her desire for sex within her marriage. Despite a healthy upbringing with decent sexual education, positive body image, and safe and secure sexual experiences, Raina found herself losing interest in intimacy with her husband after getting married. After starting a personal journey which she affectionately calls ‘Raina's Religious Rebellion' she began exploring how some of the concepts taught by her church around sex in marriage were harmful. This knowledge allowed her to get mad but didn't offer real solutions. She started therapy to confront her sexual misgivings, which gave her the why but didn't fully explain her feelings of low desire. She also had an unexpected hysterectomy, which made her body feel foreign and strange. It wasn't until Janna's program that she was able to put all the pieces of her sexual history together and have it make sense, providing her with a comprehensive understanding of her feelings. Raina shares her ongoing efforts to reconnect with her husband through curious, playful, and meaningful steps, allowing her desire to gradually return. She also talks about her recent hysterectomy, the intricacies of recovery, and her ongoing healing to this day.

Dr. Mark Hyman who hosts a very informative health podcast called “the Doctors Farmacy.” And he is known for his "10-Day Detox Diet" program. Now, most health experts don't love the word “detox” and I also don't love the word because of what it has become in the mainstream and what people think it does when they hear the word. But Dr. Hyman claims his 10 day detox is designed to help individuals reset their metabolism, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health. Those are kind of a bunch of buzz words put together… but when I looked into how he does all these things, I really like the thought process behind it. And I also realize sometimes you have to use a bunch of buzzwords to even get peoples attention (case and point looking at the title of this episode… sometimes you gotta be a little click baity to even be heard). This detox program works by eliminating processed foods, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and other potential irritants from the diet for a period of 10 days. The program typically involves consuming whole, nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of water. And in this episode we will go more in depth on each one of these.References:Dr. Mark HymanPodcast: Doctors FarmacyCheck out his books!

Dr. John Vervaeke engages in an in-depth conversation with Sam Tideman, delving into the four kinds of knowing – procedural, propositional, perspectival, and participatory – and how they relate to personality and understanding of religion. They explore the concept of purpose from both philosophical and psychological perspectives, touching upon the historical and cosmic scale of purpose, human uniqueness in understanding purpose, and the functional purpose in nature. The episode also includes a discussion on Spinoza's philosophy and the importance of mindset and awareness, leading to reflections on the implications of purpose for humanity.   Glossary of Terms   Propositional knowledge: Knowledge of facts. Procedural knowing: Knowing how to do something. Perspectival knowing: Knowing by noticing aspects of things within how you are sizing up a situation. Knowing what it is like to be noticing from the state of mind you are in of the situation you are in. Knowing what is like being in a particular perspective.  Participatory knowing: Knowing by being. It refers to knowing how to act in the “agent-arena” environment—how the world and you are shaped by the same principles and processes to fit together, whether those processes are natural or cultural. Gravity shapes you, and the ground and culture shape you and the environment into a floor for walking. It is knowing by participating in affordances co-created by you and the world.   Resources and References:   Dr. John Vervaeke: Website | YouTube | Patreon | X | Facebook Sam Tideman: YouTube   The Vervaeke Foundation John Vervaeke YouTube Awakening from the Meaning Crisis Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, and Naturalism w/ Sam Adams   Books, Articles, Publications, and Videos Spinoza's Religion: A New Reading of the Ethics - Clare Carlisle Philosopher of the Heart: The Restless Life of Søren Kierkegaard - Clare Carlisle  John Vervaeke on the relevance of Neoplatonism today | Transfigured    Quotes   "It's knowing this with your states of consciousness, states of consciousness always have co-defining situational awareness." - John Vervaeke, on perspectival knowing "The way your agency and your character are shaped and your biology is shaped to fit the environment... that's participatory knowing." - John Vervaeke   Chapters with Timestamps   [00:00:00] Introduction of Dr. John Vervaeke [00:03:07] The Four Kinds of Knowing [00:04:20] Christian Doctrinal Differences and Kinds of Knowing [00:08:07] Deeper Definitions and Taxonomy of the Four Ps [00:17:23] Discussion on Personality and Kinds of Knowing [00:32:16] Exploring Human Consciousness and Purpose [00:41:33] The Universe, Life, and the Concept of Purpose [00:48:22] Human Uniqueness in Understanding Purpose   Timestamped Highlights   [00:00:00] Introduction of Dr.John Vervaeke [00:03:07] Explanation of the four kinds of knowing [00:04:20] Discussion on Christian doctrinal differences [00:08:07] In-depth definitions of the four Ps [00:17:23] Connecting personality types with kinds of knowing [00:22:35] Integrating various kinds of knowing for holistic spiritual and personal development [00:32:16] Exploration of human consciousness and purpose [00:39:40] Debate on redemptive narrative in history [00:41:33] The challenge of fitting the Christian mythological arc to the modern understanding of the universe [00:44:11] Discussing the concept of incarnation [00:48:22] Human uniqueness in understanding purpose [00:50:30] The functional purpose in nature [00:52:28] Mount Everest as an example of purpose without consciousness [00:53:14] Introduction to Spinoza's concept of conatas [00:58:00] Reflecting on the quality of life in the universe [01:05:00] The significance of life beyond quantity [01:10:30] Philosophical implications of understanding purpose [01:20:20] Discussing the impact of human mortality awareness on purpose and understanding   [01:30:00] Understanding purpose in existence and its implications in Christianity and pragmatism

John Vervaeke and Jordan Hall engage in a profound discussion on the nature and impact of paradigm shifts in contemporary times, exploring how these shifts are not just led by theoretical changes but also by randomness and technical advancements. They delve into the role of anomalies, experimentation, and the concept of the "imaginal" in facilitating these shifts. Highlighting historical examples, such as Einstein and Heisenberg, they discuss how philosophical and cross-cultural explorations contribute to new ways of thinking. The conversation further explores the necessity of breaking existing structures and disciplines for new explorations, with the metaphor of individuals gathering diverse tools without initially understanding their collective purpose. This comprehensive dialogue underscores the complexity of paradigm shifts, intertwining technical, individual, collective, and socio-cultural dynamics.   Glossary of Terms Paradigm Shift: A fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions.

A self-proclaimed “accidental author”, Carole Holiday was living a very full life as a wife, mother, and nana, until one day, everything fell apart. Her marriage to her childhood sweetheart of over 35 years ended, followed by losing her job and ultimately filing for bankruptcy. Then she developed heart issues because of all the stress, and a continued windfall of loss, and grief in losing close loved ones, until it felt like there was absolutely nothing recognizable about the life she had known.    In her book I Don't Know Who I Am Anymore, Carole shares her story, but it is such a unique book that weaves honest reflections, practical applications of how to minister to those in grief,  beautiful applications from scripture, and recipes to share with others or to comfort your own heart.  She asks powerful questions about what we build our lives on, and find our identity in. These can be good things like relationships, careers, and even our health, but they are ultimately temporal. Christ alone is the cornerstone that can keep a life on a firm foundation.    This is an episode for my friends who are asking God, “What do I do now?” when a dream has died. This is an episode for my single friends, my divorced friends, and my widowed friends who may feel unseen in their communities. This is an episode for those who have known any amount of grief or loss and need to know they are not going to disappear or drown in this season. There is hope for you, we can testify to it.  As long as you're breathing, there is more for your story. You matter and your story matters.    Connecting with Carole:  Book Facebook Instagram Website   Please consider joining our Patreon community.

John Vervaeke and Jordan Hall dive into the intricate concept of hyperobjects, as conceptualized by philosopher Timothy Morton. The discussion revolves around the defining characteristics of hyperobjects, such as their vast distribution in time and space, their non-local and viscous nature, and their challenging temporal scales. They explore examples like evolution and global warming, emphasizing the need for a transformative approach in our cognitive and perceptual frameworks to understand and engage with these complex entities. The conversation also touches on the implications of hyperobjects on distributed cognition and the necessity of developing new modalities of understanding and interaction in the face of such overwhelmingly large-scale phenomena.   Resources and References:   Dr. John Vervaeke: Website | YouTube | Patreon | X | Facebook Jordan Hall: YouTube | Medium | X    The Vervaeke Foundation John Vervaeke YouTube Awakening from the Meaning Crisis The Elusive I - Part 1 - The Cognitive Science Show Books, Articles, and Publications Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology after the End of the World - Timothy Morton The Republic by Plato - The Internet Classics Archive The Sovereignty of Good - Iris Murdoch The Enigma of Reason - Hugo Mercier, Dan Sperber Quotes "Hyperobjects, like global warming and evolution, are non-local.

This week on ReInvent Healthcare, I have with me a very special guest, Dr, Yvonne Castillo, and together we talk about the importance of practitioners having clinical competence, critical thinking skills, and compassionate care in order to effectively guide clients towards positive health outcomes. The integration of genetics, lab results, and comprehensive histories can lead to tailored strategies for improved health that will be beneficial for our clients. IN THIS EPISODE:Shift in Healthcare and AttitudesThere has been a significant shift over the last few years, particularly due to the pandemic. People have started to value their health more and have realized the importance of being proactive and not taking their health for granted. There's also a shift from passive healthcare to a more dynamic and proactive approach. People are starting to see that they are an individual and the conventional medical system doesn't individualize healthcare.Holistic View of HealthThe pandemic has led to a change in people's perspectives on health. Instead of viewing health as isolated symptoms, there's a growing understanding of how different factors are interconnected and can compound over time. This holistic view emphasizes the importance of addressing weak links and imbalances to prevent future health issues.Trends and family history must be examined with labs and genetics to make wise decisions in care for clients. AI doesn't provide this comprehensive view of looking at where clients are today on their health journey.Rise of Functional Medicine and IndividualizationThere is increased interest in functional medicine and alternative approaches to healthcare. People are becoming more educated about their health, researching on their own, and seeking individualized solutions. The use of AI and apps can provide information, but it's crucial for practitioners to use these tools with the labs, with the history, and with a personalized view to interpret and communicate the data effectively to create actionable plans for clients. Good practitioners do a thorough health history, look at genetic tendencies and the labs and trends found in the labs, and use these to lead the client to make positive behavior change in an actionable manner that is not overwhelming. The key is to teach clients how to apply the information they are gathering to their individualized needs.References:Dr. Yvonne Castillo LinksCheck out Dr. Yvonne's website here.Like Dr. Yvonne's Facebook page here.

"The pandemic within the pandemic" A pulmonologist (respiratory physician) joins Ikoi and Liam to discuss Long Covid. After catching Covid on the frontline Dr. Asad Khan has endured numerous health issues which has opened his eyes to a level of suffering amongst patients dealing with chronic health issues. From not being believed by fellow professionals ("it's just psychological") to the social stigma and denial surrounding Long Covid, we explore the systemic incuriosity within the medical system and PTSD patients can experience from repeatedly interfacing with 'efficient' professionals. We also touch on why there is a sense of mass denial surrounding Long Covid: the fear of becoming 'worth-less'.

Christopher is a renowned Catholic author and speaker on the topic of human sexuality. This conversation touches on many topics that appear in our everyday lives. The guys also address the temptations of worldly desires and how they give a false sense of what is considered good. Dr. West shares several examples from his life experiences about what “the good life” has meant to him and the lessons he has learned in his personal life and professional training. Key Points The modern idea of the good life that is pushed on us in today's culture is actually a lie There is always going to be an unreachable ideal of what society expects you to be Having security in yourself as it comes from the Father A discussion of the 4 levels of happiness The idea of the good life being a journey References Dr. West's Website Connect with Way of the Heart: Facebook: @wayoftheheartpodcast Instagram: @wayoftheheartpodcast Website: www.wayoftheheartpodcast.com   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Jake and Brett sit down this week and speak with Dr John Bergsma. Dr. Bergsma is a professor at Franciscan University and one of the leading Scripture scholars in the nation. The guys talk about “The Good Life” and how it relates to Dr. Bergsma's personal faith and professional expertise. They touch on how the Catholic faith allows people to connect with the Father through both Scripture & Tradition and what cultivating a deeper relationship with the Lord might look like. Key Points Why we need more than just the Bible as Catholics. How Scripture and Tradition work hand in hand. What it means for a man to have access to his heart and how that awareness helps us to grow into better men. What the good life means to Dr. Bergsma Maximilian Kolbe - What is sin? We are loved by a God that wants to be our Father What is the weight of the word "good?" Making "Nourish and Cherish" a central part of your relationships References Dr. Bergsma's Website Connect with Way of the Heart: Facebook: @wayoftheheartpodcast Instagram: @wayoftheheartpodcast Website: www.wayoftheheartpodcast.com   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Why do women who display the same behaviors as men get diagnosed with BPD at a 3:1 ratio? What behaviors are allowed by which gender? In this episode Dr. Morris discuss with Psychotherapist Harriet Fraad and Substance Abuse Councillor Ikoi Hiroe about the assumptions made of the human subject, whether the BPD label helps or hurts, living up to inhumane ideals, liminal spaces, self harm and a metaphorical take on penis envy!

Human beings are enthralled by stories and use them as tools to connect, to make sense of the world, to engage and transmit information from one person to another, one community to another, and one generation to another.  Our stories influence our beliefs and our culture.  Personal heartfelt stories engage our brain in unique and powerful ways.  We'll talk about why we encourage others to tell their stories inside EWP, why micro-mentoring matters, and why Social Learning Theory suggests most human learning occurs observationally through modeling.   One woman physician telling her story has the power to change the world around her.  Thousands of women physicians telling their story has the power to change the culture of medicine.  References Dr. Uri Hasson Lab at Princeton (Suzuki et al.  Dialogues: Science and Power of Storytelling. J Neuroscience 2018 Oct 31; 38(44): 9468–9470.  TED talk , Youtube Storytelling impacts our future) & Dr. Paul Zak.  (Neuroscience of stories) Bandura A. Social Learning Theory.

My friend Scott Baldwin (BYU Professor, Clinical Psychology, Married Father of 5) shares the experience of his mission in 1997 ending after 8 days. Scott talks about the shame and sadness he felt leaving the MTC and not completing a mission.
