Podcasts about self care

What does it actually take to recover from burnout, beyond the standard advice to practice more self-care? In this episode, Dr. Jim Dahle talks with emergency physician, executive coach, and author Dr. Rob Orman about the realities of burnout in medicine. Rob shares his experience consulting on HBO's 'The Pitt' using real interviews from mass casualty responders, and discusses why he stepped back from full-time clinical practice to focus on coaching physicians through burnout, performance issues, and career sustainability. Rob explains why terms like "self-care" often fail doctors, since they don't address the actual sources of stress, and he shares a pivotal moment from his own career: screaming in his car during traffic on the way to a shift he dreaded, a moment that led him to finally admit he needed to make a change after 12 difficult years. He also offers concrete, usable tools, including a simple technique for defusing conflict by choosing curiosity over defensiveness, and the concept of the "drama triangle," a pattern of hero, villain, and victim roles that can trap people in unproductive conflict. The conversation closes with a look at medicine's historical roots in self-sacrifice, tracing back to clergy and early surgical training, and why that inherited mindset still shapes how doctors think about rest and limits today. Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's a mismatch that can be addressed with the right tools, the right support, and the financial capacity to actually make a change when you need one.

You Don't Need Everything Fixed — Just Calm — Guided Meditation for Effort Fatigue & Anxiety | Coherent Breathing You're not asking for much, and you don't need every problem solved or your whole life fixed — you just want to feel calm again, even for a moment. If trying to relax has started to feel like just another task on your list, this guided meditation is for you.We'll use coherent breathing to steady the body, then a simple visualisation for the exhausting habit of trying too hard to feel okay. When this feeling shows up again, Anchored is there: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, today's session uses coherent breathing — in for a count of four, out for a count of six — before reframing calm through the image of easing off an accelerator: not slamming to a stop, just lifting the foot, and noticing that the car slows on its own the moment you stop pushing. Perhaps calm isn't something to chase, but something you can simply stop getting in the way of. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Welcome: you just want to feel calm again* 00:47 – Breathing: coherent breathing, round one* 01:40 – Breathing, round two* 02:41 – The accelerator: easing off instead of pushing harder* 04:09 – Breathing, round three* 05:15 – Today's Gentle Affirmations* 07:56 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 08:54 – Coming back, stretch and open your eyes* 09:33 – Outro & be kind 

What does your soul actually need for self-care?Psalm 19 gives a surprising answer: “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.”In this episode, John Ortberg explores why God's instruction isn't meant to burden us, but to help make us whole. Our souls become divided when our thoughts, desires, values, words, and actions pull in different directions. God's Word shows us what is good and helps bring our lives back into alignment.John also shares how memorizing 1 Corinthians 13 helped him confront anger and resentment in his own life. Sometimes soul care is as simple as taking one piece of God's Word and asking Him to help us actually live it.Go ahead and take the walk, light the candle, or get the massage. But don't miss the deeper invitation:Let God revive your soul.In this episode: Psalm 19 • wholeheartedness • internal integration • 1 Corinthians 13 • Dallas Willard • becoming whole#Psalm19 #JohnOrtberg #SoulCare #SpiritualFormation #Psalms #BibleStudy #ChristianFaith

You know you should take better care of yourself, but somehow sleep, nourishing food, movement, and even rest keep falling to the bottom of the list. And if you're a Christian woman, you may even wonder if physical self-care is too focused on the body to be truly spiritual.But what if caring for your body isn't separate from your faith? What if Scripture actually gives you a reason to care for it, and a completely different way to think about physical self-care?Listen to this episode to learn about four Scriptures that might change how you see your body, your health, and the way you care for yourself.Recipes Mentioned in this EpisodeOne Pot Cheesy Mushroom Spinach Beef PastaScriptures Referenced in this Episode1 Corinthians 6:19–20Romans 12:11 Timothy 4:8Mark 6:31Let's Connect:Email: hello@p31virtues.com

Have you ever reached the end of the day wondering where all your time went?Maybe it isn't because you're bad at time management.Maybe it's because you've become incredibly good at saying yes.In this episode, Dr. Stacy explores how years of "good girl" conditioning teach many women to become the dependable one—the volunteer, the organizer, the helper, the person everyone can count on. While those qualities are admirable, they often come with an unseen cost.Every automatic yes creates an invisible no.No to your walk.No to meal prep.No to enough sleep.No to your own health.This episode will help you recognize the pattern, understand why it happens, and begin creating the space your healthy habits have needed all along.In this episode:Why time management isn't the real problemHow "good girl" conditioning shapes adult behaviorWhy helping isn't the issue—automatic helping isThe hidden cost of every automatic yesSimple pause phrases that create space before committingWhy protecting your health isn't selfishIf today's conversation resonated with you, we'd love to have you join us inside the SugarFreeMD Membership, where we're continuing the conversation by helping women intentionally protect the space their health deserves. www.sugarfreemd.com/LSMFree 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

Send us Fan MailThis week I want to talk about something I've been sitting with: eyes on your plate, eyes on your lane. I was actually writing these notes when I found out Dolly Parton had passed away, and it sent me into a whole reflection on boundaries — how easy it is to want to fix people, to give unsolicited advice about their food, their choices, their life, even when we mean well. I'm sharing what almost thirty years in leadership, addiction training, and life coaching have taught me about staying in your own lane, what real support looks like when someone you love is struggling with serious addiction, and why doing the wellness work for yourself is the most powerful thing you can offer someone else. If you've ever gotten advice nobody asked for — or caught yourself giving it — this episode is for you. Citations●     Dolly Parton tribute reference — NPR, "Dolly Parton, one of country music's most singular performers, has died at age 80" (Aug. 25, 2026) — https://www.npr.org/2026/08/25/nx-s1-3650175/dolly-parton-obituary ●     Additional source — The Washington Post, "Dolly Parton, country music singer and cultural icon, dies at 80" (Aug. 25, 2026) — https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2026/08/25/dolly-parton-country-music-singer-cultural-icon-dies-80/ ●     Film references mentioned: Steel Magnolias (1989) and 9 to 5 (1980) ●     Weight stigma & unsolicited comments about food or weight — Rebecca M.

Send us Fan Mail5-Minute Parenting welcomes special guest, Kristin Faith Evans, sharing on the topic of self-care for parents. What a relevant topic in our fast-paced, hyper-connected world! Kristin Faith Evans is an award-winning author, national speaker, licensed master social worker, and a special needs mom. She is passionate about empowering parents with the skills to thrive in their faith, mental health, and marriage. Kristin has been featured on over thirty-five radio and podcast shows and published in magazines such as Focus on the Family and the American Association of Christian Counselors. She is experienced in couples, child and family, substance abuse, and crisis interventions, as well as church and retreat ministries. And she enjoys a cup (or two) of Italian roast coffee, dark chocolate, traveling, and authentic conversations with friends. Listen in as Kristin covers the following topics: Why self-care is important for parents and tips for helping ease stress levels.Over half of parents are overwhelmed on a daily basis because our coping skills haven't kept up with society's demands. Our stress levels as parents directly impacts our children's spiritual, physical, and mental health.Simple mindfulness skills combined with faith practices can dramatically reduce the harmful effects of stress.We can hack our nervous systems to calm our minds and bodies in just minutes a day with deep breathing, breath prayer, and muscle tensing and relaxing.Self-compassion, gratitude, reliance on God, and acceptance lead to lower stress.Returning our focus to the present moment and awareness of God's presence throughout the day calms our stress and soothes our anxiety.Be sure to check out Kristin's books, YouTube channel, and other resources for families by visiting her website:https://kristinfaithevans.com/*Are you looking for fun, gospel-inspired merch for your family + discounted picture books for your kids and grandkids?

(2:00) Vinnie consulted with a client who was struggling to feel stronger despite 4- and 5-day workouts. (16:15) Recovery between workouts is essential; it is part of the process of building muscle and strength. Vinnie shares advice on how to plan the week and get appropriate recovery between workouts. Exercise is a poor way to lose weight; however, it's a great way to help support longevity by preserving muscle, strengthening bones, and managing insulin resistance. (26:00) Roseburia is an intestinal bacterium, and recent studies claim a correlation between Roseburia and grip strength. (35:45) Study out of Finland: people who drank more coffee had less total and abdominal fat, more muscle, and healthier metabolic markers, even at the same BMI. (51:00) What is TOFA, and what does it allegedly do? (54:00) It is an acronym for "5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid," which may help weight loss without muscle loss. The claim is that it shows more pronounced benefits when used alongside certain GLP-1s. But it has plenty of downsides, too. (56:30) Once again, there is no free lunch in nature. Everything has a cost. Weight loss shouldn't be done with a pill or a substance if we can avoid it because you miss out on the dietary adaptation and learning the right habits.

Carrying Everyone Else's Feelings? — Guided Meditation for the Quietly Exhausted | Physiological Sigh Breathing If you're always the one who copes — the reliable one, the one who checks on everyone else and never gets asked back — this guided meditation is for you. For the next ten minutes you don't have to hold anything together. We'll use the physiological sigh, a simple two-inhale, one-long-exhale breathing pattern, to ease the body down a gear, then a gentle visualisation for setting down the things you've been carrying that were never really yours.When it all gets too much before or after this session, Anchored's Instant Calm is free, offline, and always there: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, today's episode leans on a boxes-in-your-arms metaphor — the to-do list, the thing someone said, tomorrow's problems, someone else's feelings you've quietly taken on as your own — and invites you to set just one box down at a time. You are allowed to rest before everything is finished. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Welcome: when you're always the one who copes* 00:52 – Anchored's Instant Calm* 01:19 – Breathing: the physiological sigh* 02:37 – Visualisation: the boxes you're carrying* 04:16 – A different sentence: "I can put some of this down"* 04:49 – Today's Gentle Affirmations* 07:46 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 08:32 – Coming back, stretch and open your eyes* 09:10 – A personal reflection: speaking to yourself with kindness* 10:16 – Outro & be kind 

Edna was a trial lawyer running on empty — until a medical leave forced her to actually learn what self-care means. What she discovered became the Serene Weekly Planner, and she built it postpartum during nap times. Today I am sitting down with Edna, founder of Serene Paper Co. and Print School alumni. In this episode of the Dream Printing Podcast, Edna shares how six years of high-pressure trial work, a mental health crisis, and a trip to Japan's stationery aisles all collided into her first product — the Serene Weekly Planner, a self-care focused undated planner built around honoring your energy and planning with intention. You'll hear the real story behind what self-care actually looks like beyond bubble baths, how Edna built a capacity assessment into the planner to help women evaluate what they can realistically take on, and why she designed the daily check-in around energy and stress ratings before the to-do list ever starts. If you're the woman who thinks she doesn't have time for this kind of thing, Edna would say that's exactly who this planner is for.

Send us Fan MailDo It Backwards: A Gift to Your Future SelfIn this episode, I'm sharing a simple strategy that is already making my days feel lighter: do the things you're dreading first. Instead of leaving the kitchen cleanup, preparing vegetables for the kids, Duolingo, exercise, or dinner prep until later, I'm trying to get them done as early as possible—before my brain has a chance to complain.I talk about how doing things ahead of time can feel like giving a gift to your future self, and how my husband's meal-prep habits have inspired me to think differently about cooking for a big family. I also share an update about exploring hormone replacement therapy, what I've been learning about perimenopause, and why I'm more open to it now than I expected.Plus, I recap the end of our very busy summer: a beautiful hike in Canmore, sushi karaoke in Banff with my parents and kids, and a special visit from longtime friends. It was exhausting, joyful, and a reminder that staying connected to old friendships is absolutely worth the effort.So this week, try doing it backwards: pick the thing you're most likely to put off and do it first. Your future self will thank you. Support the show

Mind Won't Switch Off? — Racing Thoughts Meditation for Anxious Nights | 4-7-8 Breathing If your mind won't switch off — even though your body has clearly clocked out — this guided meditation is for you. Whether it's 2am or the middle of an ordinary afternoon, racing thoughts don't wait for a convenient time, and this episode meets you exactly where you are with 4-7-8 breathing, a calming cognitive visualisation, and three daily caring tips you can use anytime the loop starts again.

An overstimulated nervous system is my chronic problem, and the problem of many of us in our current society with its 24/7 connectivity and therefore constant demands and stimulation. And that's just tech. Not to mention other contributing factors such as disrupted circadian rhythms, lack of nature and natural light, lack of sleep, processed foods, pollutants in the air, water and soil, and nutritional deficiencies. Of all the interventions I have ever done to reset my nervous system, one found in the ancient practice of Ayurveda has proven to be the most effective – known as the queen of Ayurvedic cures, the Panchakarma is a prolonged nervous system reset and detoxification protocol with incredible results. I always come away completely reset and restored.  So I was thrilled to find a fellow aficionado from the medical world with data in her pocket, psychiatrist Dr. Judith Pentz , In this episode of the MindHealth360 Show, we sit down to explore what the ancient Indian healing system of Ayurveda can teach us about some of the most modern problems affecting our mental health – chronic stress, overstimulation, poor sleep, nervous-system dysregulation and our increasing difficulty creating space for genuine self-care. Dr. Pentz's journey into Ayurveda began after a health scare during perimenopause led her to experience Panchakarma, an intensive personalised Ayurvedic cleansing programme in India. What began as an attempt to support her physical health became something much deeper. She describes how repeated Panchakarma experiences affected not only her body, but also brought unresolved trauma, emotional patterns and questions of meaning and purpose to the surface. As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, she reflects on how many adults may carry wounds from childhood without fully recognising their impact. Together, we explore Ayurveda's highly personalised approach to health, including the doshas and the idea that modern life itself can push many of us towards imbalance through constant stimulation. Dr. Pentz explains why healing is not something that happens passively: sleep, food, breathwork, movement, boundaries, relationships and small daily rituals all influence how regulated and resilient we feel. We also explore the idea that physical cleansing, emotional processing and spiritual growth may be more connected than Western medicine traditionally assumes – and why sometimes the smallest "life-affirming choices" can be the beginning of meaningful change. In this episode, you'll learn: Why modern overstimulation can leave us with poor sleep, scattered thinking and a dysregulated nervous system. What Panchakarma is and how Dr. Pentz's own experience brought unresolved trauma and emotional patterns to the surface, changing her understanding of healing. Why Ayurveda looks beyond symptoms to food, sleep, relationships, social connection, spirituality and daily habits. Why many adults carry unresolved childhood wounds without fully recognising their impact. How daily breathwork, sleep, movement and moments of quiet may have a cumulative effect on mental and physical health. Why self-care requires active participation and daily discipline, and how boundaries and relationships became part of Dr. Pentz's own healing. Why disease prevention is something shaped by the choices we make everyday. Take the conversation further at IMMH 2026 At the Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) Conference 2026, Dr. Judith Pentz will take the ideas explored in this episode into greater clinical depth in her session: Ayurveda and Personalized Medicine: The Power of Self-Care for Prevention and Longevity CE/CME presentation – exploring how Ayurvedic principles can complement modern psychiatry and lifestyle medicine, and how simple, consistent daily practices can support prevention, emotional balance, resilience and longevity. Dr. Pentz will be joined by more than 50 leading clinicians and researchers exploring the latest approaches to integrative and functional mental health, including Dr. Robert Lustig and Dr. Elissa Epel on mitochondria, metabolism and the biology of stress; Dr. Emeran Mayer on the brain–gut–microbiome connection in healthy ageing; Dr. Leslie Korn on safely reducing or discontinuing psychiatric medication; and Dr. Ilene Naomi Rusk on nervous system regulation, resilience and brain health.

She and her husband joined a comedy show. (3:00) Traveling can be a challenge, but make it a game for yourself. Anna shares some of the things she did to stay NSNG. UCDavis has recently released a study on the purity of avocado oil products. (32:00) UCDavis.edu https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/study-finds-82-percent-avocado-oil-rancid-or-mixed-other-oils They reviewed many popular brands of processed mayo, dressings, and snacks. Anna has a one-minute mayo recipe that you can find on her Substack: Eat Happy Kitchen One-Minute Mayo The UC Davis study found that 48 of the 54 avocado oil labeled products were adulterated with cheaper oils. A large percentage were either rancid and/or adulterated with other oils. (44:00) Not all manufacturers may have known they were receiving adulterated oils. Anna shares some of the products on the list. If the product is "compositionally consistent with authentic oil", then the oil's rating was noted with a checkmark.

Monday Morning Anxiety — Calm the Dread of the Week Ahead | Vagus Nerve Breathing Meditation  Monday morning anxiety has a weight all of its own — that heavy, anticipatory dread that arrives before your feet have even touched the floor. In this 10-minute guided meditation, Calming Anxiety host Martin helps you put the whole week down and meet Monday with a nervous system that is working with you, not against you. Today's practice uses vagus nerve breathing — a slow nasal inhale, a gentle hold, and a long, soft exhale — to press the brake pedal on your stress response. Three guided rounds, followed by a warm golden-light body scan and a set of gentle affirmations for anxiety relief, work anxiety and the Sunday scaries that spill into Monday. It closes with three practical daily caring tips you can carry into the day. Whether you're listening in bed, on the train, in the car park, or in the ten quiet minutes before you walk in through those doors — this is deep relaxation and breathwork you can use anywhere.

After his wife began to notice changes in her hair too, they started to look for options.He went to visit a hair loss clinic, where they introduced him to low level light therapy. The treatments proved to be very time consuming, expensive and difficult to fit sessions into day-to-day life. They liked the idea of laser and the scientific evidence behind it, and decided to create their own laser device, a convenient, good looking baseball cap design which has 272 diodes. Laser can penetrate through the layers of the scalp, right to the hair follicle and stimulate growth, prolonging the length of the hair follicle growth cycle. Connect with Livdor:InstagramLaser Hair Growth Cap | At Home LLLT Therapy | FDA Cleared | LIVDOR Save £50 off LIVDOR laser cap with code HAIRTHERAPYUK Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Support the showConnect with Hair therapy:FacebookInstagramTwitterClubhouse- @Hair.TherapyHair Therapy WebsiteDonate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert! Laser Hair Growth Cap | At Home LLLT Therapy | FDA Cleared | LIVDOR Save £50 off LIVDOR laser cap with code HAIRTHERAPYUK

Have you ever started a new habit feeling completely motivated, only to fall off a few days or weeks later and wonder, “Why can't I ever stick with anything?” I can totally relate, and if you're a mom... you might feel the same, too. For so many moms, we need to know that the answer isn't a lack of discipline. Perfectionism, overwhelm, unrealistic expectations, and the way we've been taught to approach habits can really make lasting change much harder than it needs to be. In this episode of Chick Chat, I sit down with Monica Packer, habit and identity coach, host of the About Progress podcast, and author of the book Sticky Habits. As a recovering perfectionist and mom of five, Monica knows firsthand how difficult it can be to pursue personal growth while managing the demands of motherhood. Together, we discuss: Why so many women struggle to make habits stick The “hidden habit saboteur” that may be getting in your way Why self-care can feel almost impossible for busy moms What we've been taught wrong about building habits What actually makes a habit sustainable Monica's five categories of Sticky Habits Where to start when you've tried routines before and nothing seems to last How one tiny shift can begin creating real momentum What to remember when you're convinced you simply aren't disciplined enough If you're tired of starting over or feeling like you have to completely overhaul your life to make progress, this conversation offers a much more realistic way forward for us women.

Waking Up at 3am — Anxiety Relief to Get You Back to Sleep | Extended Exhale Breathing Waking up at 3am with anxiety is one of the loneliest experiences there is — your eyes open on their own, your heart is faster than it should be for someone lying perfectly still, and your mind has already found the one unfinished thought it saved up especially for now. This 10-minute guided meditation is built for exactly that hour. Martin explains why it happens: there is a small, ordinary rise in cortisol in the early hours meant to get your body ready for morning, and when you're anxious that rise arrives a little louder and wakes you. It isn't a warning. It isn't a sign. It's chemistry arriving early. From there the session uses extended exhale breathing — a gentle breath in, a brief pause, and an out-breath always longer than the in — because breathing out directly, mechanically slows your heart rate. It's the simplest somatic tool there is, and the one that works best lying down in the dark, when you don't want to count hard or hold anything. A warm light at the centre of the chest, gentle affirmations for sleep anxiety and insomnia relief, and three practical caring tips follow. If you drift off partway through, that's the point — let the voice fade.

Why Do I Say Sorry for Everything? — People-Pleasing Anxiety Relief | Guided Meditation with 4-2-6 Breathing If you've ever wondered "why do I say sorry for everything?", from bumping into someone to simply having a feeling, today's guided meditation is for you. Calming Anxiety sits with the quiet, exhausting reflex of chronic apologizing, the fear that if you're agreeable enough, easy enough, small enough, nobody will ever be angry with you. We slow the body first with 4-2-6 breathing, in for four, hold for two, out for six, creating the same small pause Martin often had to teach frightened patients as a paramedic: the space between the trigger and the reaction.For daily support beyond this episode, download Anchored on iOS, with Android arriving in a couple of weeks.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Guidelines and GLP-1s Dr. Gary Fettke was in Vinnie's first documentary, "FAT: a documentary." They discuss how dietary messaging has changed over the years. (8:00) Whole foods, including animal proteins, are the optimal way to get nutrients. (15:00) They discuss CGMs and how helpful they can be for awareness of what certain foods do to your blood glucose. (20:30) Your body responds to everything you eat; however, some foods raise glucose levels more than others. A CGM can help you discover your personal response and bioindividuality. They discuss the U.S. Food Pyramid and RFK's take on it. Following the previous dietary guidelines has not helped; in fact, it seems to have made things worse. For example, approximately 40% of the U.S. military members are overweight because of food served in military commissaries. (32:00) The Magic Pill documentary is fantastic viewing. (33:00) Vinnie asks Gary his opinion on GLP-1s. (41:00) The mechanisms in the body when using a GLP-1 are very similar to being on a low-carb, ketogenic diet. (44:00) Significant weight loss requires keeping protein levels up to help offset muscle loss. (48:00) Exercise is very important, and can help with loose skin. The Third Rail They discuss Gary's experience during the COVID pandemic, or "the third rail." (57:30) He also shares thoughts about the recent hearings where Anthony Fauci and he "pleaded the Fifth" 111 times. The result of the pandemic is a percentage of the population realizing not to mindlessly follow medical authorities, which is good. Stay inquisitive and question what comes across the news and social media. Alcohol dampens T-cell lymphocytes' function; ketones will boost them.

Download the Buddhability AppApple iOSAndroidSeongjae Choi, of Alabama, wondered “why me?” when his peers were landing jobs and he was being ghosted by potential employers. With a strict deadline for his visa, he was determined to land a job in time. Today he tells the story of how chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo gave him the ability to keep going and find meaning in his struggle.

Where Has All My Energy Gone? — High-Functioning Anxiety & Exhaustion Relief | Guided Meditation If you've ever collapsed onto the edge of the bed at the end of a perfectly "fine" day and thought, "where has all my energy gone? I didn't even do anything today," this episode is for you. Calming Anxiety sits with the exhaustion of high-functioning anxiety, the quiet cost of holding everything together while everyone else sees someone coping just fine. We slow the body first with the extended exhale, four counts in and eight counts out, gently unwinding the shallow, high-chest breathing that builds up during a long day of performing calm, the same kind of over-breathing Martin worked with often on ambulance call-outs as a paramedic.For daily support beyond this episode, download Anchored on iOS, with Android arriving in a couple of weeks.

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie talk about bringing RunRx clinics back and what makes an in-person clinic different from watching videos at home. This live training is set up at a park with shade, water, bathrooms, and room to work, but it is not a mileage-heavy event. Instead, runners practice the elements of the gait cycle, do drills, and take a few running steps so they can feel the movement in real time.Valerie explains why that live feedback matters so much. In person, she can correct runners immediately, help them feel pose, fall, and pull, and adjust what they are doing before old habits take over. She also points out that online coaching works well through video check-ins and Zoom, but an in-person clinic gives runners the chance to feel the movement in their body and carry that feeling back into their training.The clinic also includes a second day for reinforcement, questions, and deeper practice. Valerie says the two-day format helps runners absorb what they learned, notice what still feels unclear, and keep practicing instead of hearing the information once and forgetting it. RunRx clinics combine skill, strength, and self-care, so runners get drills, injury prevention, stretching, and strength work all in one place.Clinic: Runrx.fit/clinics▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play Support email: support@runrx.fit

Send us Fan MailIf your “healthy routine” feels like a second job, we get it and we're ready to call it out. Nancy, Kevin, and Lou unpack the rising over-optimization backlash in wellness: the idea that nonstop tracking, monitoring, and pushing harder can actually make us more stressed, not more fit. When every step, calorie, rep, and sleep score becomes a judgment, it's easy to confuse data with progress and end up stuck in anxiety, guilt, or burnout.We talk honestly about where health apps and wearables help, where they hurt, and why “self-surveillance” is a sneaky trap. We also explore the difference between motivation and pressure, plus what sustainable change really looks like for normal people who have jobs, responsibilities, and limited energy. The recurring theme is moderation and self-regulation: building habits that you can repeat without going full tilt, then quitting, then starting over again.From there, we zoom out into the bigger forces shaping modern health, including isolation, the craving for accountability and community, and the temptation to replace real connection with AI companions. We also dig into why American convenience and food systems can make wellness feel harder than it should, and how returning to simpler basics can coexist with new preventive health technology.If this conversation hits home, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who's tired of chasing metrics, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.

Why Do I Feel Dizzy? — Anxiety-Induced Lightheadedness Relief | Guided Meditation with 4-4-8 Breathing If the floor has ever seemed to tilt beneath you, or the room's gone soft and swimming for no reason at all, today's guided meditation is for you. Calming Anxiety sits with anxiety-induced dizziness, the frightening, light-headed feeling that convinces you something is medically wrong, when the real cause may simply be anxious breathing. We slow the body first with 4-4-8 breathing (in for four, hold for four, and a long, slow exhale for eight), a technique Martin has used often as a paramedic kneeling beside people who were certain they were about to collapse.

They discuss brunch the following day and the chaos that followed. (33:00) Are donuts and beignets really a breakfast food? Vinnie shares his experience while visiting his parents.

Anxiety Relief for Irritability & Overwhelm — I Just Need to Feel Calm Again | Alternate Nostril Breathing Guided Meditation Anxiety relief for those days when everything is getting under your skin. This ten minute guided meditation is for the moment you catch yourself thinking "I just need to feel calm again" — when the noise, the questions, the one more thing have worn your patience thin, your shoulders are tight, your jaw is clenched, and your voice is sharper than you meant it to be. Underneath irritation there is almost always something quieter. You're tired. You're overloaded. You've been holding too much together. Today we use alternate nostril breathing — nadi shodhana, the balancing breath — breathing in for four and out for six, giving your mind one gentle thing to do at a time while your nervous system finds its way back down. Slow, rhythmic breathwork for stress relief, overwhelm and an overstimulated nervous system. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, Calming Anxiety is a daily ten minute guided meditation for anxiety relief, panic attacks, stress and sleep. You don't have to become a different person today. You don't have to be endlessly patient. You simply need a little more space. ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – I just need to feel calm again * 00:20 – When the smallest things get under your skin * 00:47 – What's underneath the irritation * 01:13 – Welcome — this is your moment * 01:31 – Finding your quiet place * 01:42 – Alternate nostril breathing (nadi shodhana) explained * 02:23 – Guided breathing — in for four, out for six * 04:24 – Softening the shoulders, forehead and hands * 04:56 – Visualisation — laying the weight down * 05:44 – Today's gentle affirmations * 08:04 – You don't have to become a different person * 08:21 – Three daily caring tips * 09:14 – Returning to the room * 10:05 – Anchored, sharing and closing thoughts

I don't think moms need another self care checklist. I think we need permission to admit we're exhausted.In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between neglecting ourselves and simply admitting that we're tired. I'm reminding us that we can love our families deeply and still need a break, be grateful and overwhelmed, and feel incredibly fulfilled and completely exhausted all at the same time.Maybe taking care of ourselves sometimes means doing something for ourselves. And maybe sometimes it means doing less. I'm giving myself, and you, permission to stop treating exhaustion like a personal failure.Because you don't have to earn rest. ❤️

You'll be guided through steady box breathing, then a golden-light visualisation and a set of affirmations to help you feel calm, grounded, and enough exactly as you are. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Cold Open: The Only One Who Hasn't Got It Together* 01:00 – Box Breathing (4-4-4-4)* 05:00 – Golden Light Affirmations* 09:00 – 3 Daily Caring Tips* 10:00 – Outro & Anchored

(10:00). She became dehydrated quickly. Unfortunately, instead of a rescue story, it has turned into a mocking of large people. Vinnie puts a call out to find her. He wants to offer her free help. (18:00) What would Vinnie suggest morbidly obese people can get started on a weight loss journey with him? (23:00) He always tries to "meet people where they are at." Anna visits many online forums related to eating and lifestyle. (28:00) People are constantly trying to find substitutes and "game the system." Redefining what a real treat is is the best idea. Anna has questions about the different forms of powdered protein. (40:00) The form of whey protein is whey protein concentrate, not whey protein isolate.

In the second half of my conversation with Kevin "KevOnStage" and Melissa Fredericks, we talk about all the ways they take care of themselves and one another. We cover therapy and how a combination of individual and couples therapy has helped them thrive in this season of their marriage. Before the pair were beloved by millions, they were a young couple searching for good marriage advice. They took what they learned and shared it with other couples during local gatherings at a BBQ joint, hoping they would all stay together. Their approach to learning and teaching out loud has only grown as they share this information on their own podcasts, a New York Times best-selling book, and here on Naked Beauty.During our conversation, we discuss how the pair manages to be open with their audiences while also setting firm boundaries. Kev and Melissa also open up about how they push one another to be their best selves, and explain why they'll never be the other's “yes man.” While talking about grieving his brother, Kev revealed that it was Melissa who pushed him to work through his grief onstage and using comedy. Melissa was sure that he could challenge his art and build something beautiful, and given the positive reception to his shows, she was absolutely right.
