He and his family have been NSNG® for quite a while and love it. He lost approximately 70 pounds, and his A1c is no longer at diabetic levels. His kids are on board, too! Starting kids at a younger age can help keep them healthier and steer them away from junk-food habits. (18:00) Mika is the next caller. (29:30) She shared how she heard of NSNG®. Social media has a lot of misinformation. They discuss ultra-processed foods versus eating real food, like a steak. (41:00) People also misunderstand how long-duration, high-intensity activity affects the body. This type of activity can require a different approach than an average workout. (45:00) Mika also asks about fasting. (49:45) Vinnie doesn't care to fast because he likes to get protein into his body first thing in the morning.

Download the Buddhability AppApple iOSAndroidOur daily lives can be challenging and we might be asking ourselves, “Is there anything more to life than sleeping, eating and going to a job I don't like?” If you're feeling burnt out, you're not alone. But Buddhist practice can refresh us and help us lead fulfilling lives.Today's guest, Kyle Maharlika-Roper, of Miami, shares how he went from burnt out in an unfulfilling job to finally pursuing his childhood dream of art. References:The New Human Revolution, vol. 16.The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, part 2, revised edition, pp. 392–393.

I Can Change — New Month New Way of Thinking (Physiological Sigh) A new month can feel like something between a fresh page and a quiet accusation. Part of you is already looking back — at what you meant to do, at what you promised yourself and didn't quite manage. This 10-minute guided meditation offers something kinder: a month is not a report card, and you don't need the first of September to begin again. Martin guides you through setting down the heavy backpack of everything unfinished from last month, then into the physiological sigh — two breaths in through the nose, one long breath out through the mouth. It's the fastest reset your nervous system has, and it makes the point of the whole episode better than any words can: you were already different ninety seconds later. Four guided rounds, followed by a warm golden-light body scan and affirmations for self-compassion, fresh starts and letting go. This is anxiety relief for anyone who feels behind, who is being hard on themselves about how the year is going, or who has quietly given up on something good because they "ruined it" by missing a few days. Every day is a brand new reset — every hour, every breath. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett.  ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – Cold open: a month is not a report card* 01:08 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin* 01:24 – Settling: finding your quiet place* 01:56 – The heavy backpack: setting last month down* 02:50 – The physiological sigh: the science* 03:21 – Four guided rounds* 05:25 – Warm golden light body scan* 06:20 – Today's gentle affirmations* 08:15 – Your three daily caring tips* 09:15 – Coming gently back into the room* 09:48 – Closing thoughts and sign-off  

There's no better feeling than stepping out into the world feeling like yourself. What makes you feel like you? In today's episode, we are going to turn adornment into real, authentic self-care.

This episode will help you discover what makes you feel like yourself on the outside so that it matches who you are right now, where you are in life, and what is happening on the inside. Tune in to begin.

True financial success isn't just about hitting a magic net worth number—it's about how your money mindset actively serves your well-being.

Jess is filming 9-1-1, so Camilla summoned back a familiar spirit. Kyle K is haunting the studio, answering all your Qs with his signature dose of petty.We start where we probably should have started last time: football Hall of Fame family legacies and casually trying on Super Bowl rings in bars. We get into whether he's been left on read, his beef with toddler birthdays, and why he truly does not care who trains Madonna. Then, a deep dive into why keeping screenshots from the Stone Age is not only acceptable, but necessary — plus the latest on his sickodis flare-up. Kyle also shares an update from his own self-care journey: he fired his therapist. This can't be good. Throw in some deeply absurd Halloween Qs, questionable advice, in-house arguing and just enough personal growth to legally call this “self-care” — and we've got an episode.

You held the boundary. You protected the walk, the appointment, or the time you needed. Someone may have been disappointed—and now you still feel guilty. When changing the boundary is no longer the route to relief, your brain may offer another familiar option: food.In this episode, Dr. Stacy Heimburger explains why emotional eating can be less about hunger and more about wanting to change an uncomfortable internal state. She connects guilt, anxiety, resentment, and restlessness to the urge to feel different, then offers one non-restrictive question that can help you understand what is happening before you automatically act.You will learn why food makes sense as a fast source of relief, why “just use more willpower” misses the larger behavioral story, and why a real feeling does not always require an immediate behavior.Free Training:How to Stay Out of the Pantry at Night: www.sugarfreemd.com/pantryFree 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

fred anunciava l'arribada de la tardor.En: The golden leaves of the trees could be seen through the windows, and the cold wind announced the arrival of autumn.Ca: Oriol, un infermer entregat i compassiu, es movia ràpidament entre els pacients.En: Oriol, a dedicated and compassionate nurse, moved quickly among the patients.Ca: Com sempre, prioritzava les necessitats dels altres a les seves pròpies.En: As always, he prioritized the needs of others over his own.Ca: Però avui era diferent.En: But today was different.Ca: Avui, la seva amiga i companya, Gemma, li havia recordat que era hora de cuidar-se ell mateix.En: Today, his friend and colleague, Gemma, had reminded him that it was time to take care of himself.Ca: "Hem d'anar a comprar sabates noves, Oriol," va dir Gemma mentre li passava els informes d'un pacient.En: "We need to go buy new shoes, Oriol," Gemma said as she handed him a patient's reports.Ca: "No pots seguir amb aquestes.En: "You can't keep going with those."Ca: "Oriol va mirar les seves velles sabates.En: Oriol looked at his old shoes.Ca: Estaven desgastades, sense suport suficient, però encara eren elegants.En: They were worn out, lacking sufficient support, but still stylish.Ca: Li agradaven, però sabia que Gemma tenia raó.En: He liked them, but he knew Gemma was right.Ca: Als llargs torns a l'hospital, el mal a les cames començava a passar-li factura.En: During the long shifts at the hospital, the pain in his legs was beginning to take its toll.Ca: Quan van sortir del campament, els carrers estaven plens de gent que celebrava La Diada de Sant Feliu.En: When they left the camp, the streets were full of people celebrating La Diada de Sant Feliu.Ca: Oriol va sentir el caliu de la festa, però també la urgència d'arreglar les seves sabates.En: Oriol felt the warmth of the festival, but also the urgency of fixing his shoes.Ca: Van arribar a una botiga local.En: They arrived at a local store.Ca: Gemma va començar a buscar directament a la secció de sabates còmodes.En: Gemma immediately started looking in the comfortable shoes section.Ca: "Mira aquests," va dir ella, aixecant una parella robusta però poc atractiva.En: "Look at these," she said, lifting a sturdy but unattractive pair.Ca: "Perfectes per a tu.En: "Perfect for you."Ca: "Oriol va somriure, escèptic.En: Oriol smiled, skeptical.Ca: Amb l'ajuda de Gemma, va provar diverses parelles.En: With Gemma's help, he tried on several pairs.Ca: Unes eren massa dures, altres massa amples.En: Some were too hard, others too wide.Ca: Finalment, es va posar un parell que semblava abraçar perfectament el seu peu.En: Finally, he put on a pair that seemed to fit his foot perfectly.Ca: "Són còmodes", va admetre, malgrat que estaven lluny de ser de moda.En: "They're comfortable," he admitted, even though they were far from fashionable.Ca: Gemma va somriure, satisfeta.En: Gemma smiled, satisfied.Ca: "Veus?En: "See?Ca: La comoditat és el que importa, sobretot al nostre treball.En: Comfort is what matters, especially in our line of work."Ca: "Oriol, per fi, va cedir.En: Oriol, at last, gave in.Ca: Va comprar les sabates, sentint una barreja de relleu i agraïment.En: He bought the shoes, feeling a mixture of relief and gratitude.Ca: De tornada, amb les noves sabates posades, va reflexionar sobre el dia.En: On the way back, with the new shoes on, he reflected on the day.Ca: Va entendre que cuidar-se a ell mateix era part important del seu treball.En: He understood that taking care of himself was an important part of his job.Ca: Si no ho feia, no podria cuidar els altres com calia.En: If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to care for others properly.Ca: Mentre seguien caminant de tornada al campament, va mirar Gemma, amb un somriure sincer.En: As they continued walking back to the camp, he looked at Gemma, with a sincere smile.Ca: "Gràcies, Gemma.En: "Thank you, Gemma.Ca: Has fet que prengui la decisió correcta.En: You helped me make the right decision."Ca: "Ell es va adonar que, igual que els fulls daurats es deixaven portar pel vent de tardor, ell també havia de deixar-se portar a decisions que afavorissin el seu benestar.En: He realized that, just as the golden leaves let themselves be carried by the autumn wind, he too had to let himself be guided to decisions that favored his well-being.Ca: Així, amb les noves sabates ben posades, es va disposar a tornar al seu lloc entre els pacients, sabent que amb un cos ben cuidat, podia donar el millor d'ell mateix.En: Thus, with the new shoes properly on, he prepared to return to his place among the patients, knowing that with a well-cared-for body, he could give the best of himself.

Why Do I Feel Anxious When Nothing Is Wrong? — A 10-Minute Guided Meditation for Anxiety for No Reason | Grounding & Letting Go Why do I feel anxious when nothing is wrong? Everything is fine. Nobody has called with bad news, the house is quiet, and yet there it is: that little knot inside saying something isn't right. This guided meditation is for anxiety for no reason, the frustrating kind where there's nothing you can point to, so your mind goes searching for something to worry about and fills a perfectly ordinary quiet moment with it. For a quiet place to return to whenever this feeling catches you out, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's free companion app. Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode doesn't try to find what's wrong. Instead you'll practise what it feels like to stop looking. It starts with simple grounding (one thing you can see, one thing you can hear, one place your body is being held), then moves to noticing your breath without fixing it. Along the way you'll learn why sometimes the feeling comes first and the mind goes looking for an explanation afterwards. Then comes a steadying phrase, "I don't have to know why right now," along with affirmations for unexplained anxiety and three caring tips. Want more support?

Okay, let's talk about SEX.

At 500 knots each, two F-16s point straight at each other with less than a second to react, one of them upside down. That's the moment Michelle "Mace" Curran walks Dwayne through in Part 2 of this conversation, and it's just the entry point into a masterclass on what she calls "the space between": the pause between feeling fear and deciding what to do with it.In this episode:The near head-on collision during a Thunderbirds training pass, closing at roughly 1,000 mph, missing by what she believes was inches and the split-second decision-making that got both pilots through itWhy Michelle earned her call sign "Mace" (Mach at Circle Entry) by accidentally breaking the sound barrier on her second flight in Japan, and how she turned it into a badge of honorThe physical disruptor, wiggling her toes, that a flight instructor taught her to break out of over-control and hypervigilance, and the neuroscience behind why it worksWhy the Thunderbirds' hiring process (40 applicants, 3 spots, a 12-officer interview panel) weighs personality, composure, and preparation over raw technical skillHer "bubble" routine in her third year with the Thunderbirds, strict self-care boundaries that helped her show up better in a public-facing roleWhy she sees fear as a signal, not a stop sign, and how that reframe applies as much to a hard business call as it does to flying a fighter jetTime Stamps:00:00 Competence Over Noise00:33 Welcome Michelle “Mace” Curran01:32 Imposter Syndrome Pivot02:53 Bravery And Fear Reframed07:20 The Space Between12:03 Near Miss Decision Making14:54 Physical Disruptors Tool21:56 Fear Signals In The Body23:29 High Performance Discipline29:01 Hiring For Team Traits33:39 Thunderbirds Selection Process36:20 Prep Under Pressure37:13 Working Interview Signals38:32 Downtime Reveals Drive39:31 Bias and Perception Checks41:15 Women in Fighter Aviation47:13 Media Noise and Unity50:58 Leading for Bigger Impact54:56 Self Care for Performance59:06 Where to Find Michelle01:00:09 Call Sign and Failure Lessons01:04:19 Final ThanksMichelle "Mace" Curran is a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who flew as a Thunderbirds lead solo and trained the incoming opposing solo pilot during her tenure on the team.

She is now a keynote speaker and author of the children's book Upside Down Dreams and its sequel centered on fighter pilot call signs, and has written a book exploring fear and decision-making under pressure.

Send us Fan MailOn the last day of Self-Care Awareness Month, this conversation arrives right on time. My own schedule got away from me this month, which is a good reminder of why self-care starts with self-awareness: noticing what we need, and giving ourselves grace when life doesn't go as planned.In this episode, Dana Hinnant, Gabby Mendonca, Nasreen Bhutta, Sylvia Perez, and I challenge the spa-day version of self-care and get honest about what happens when we slow down enough to hear what we actually need. We talk about boundaries, people pleasing, self-advocacy, accommodations, and why community support can make us more independent, not less.Self-care as reflection, routine, and inner listening rather than a rewardNoticing needs through slowing down, check-ins, journaling, prayer, and therapyBoundaries as protection for peace of mind and energyThe roots of people pleasing and the courage to disappoint othersSelf-advocacy when asking feels uncomfortable, including requesting accommodationsInterdependence and support networks as strength and self-respectSimple skincare non-negotiables: SPF 30+, a gentle cleanser, hydration, and moisturizerWe'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who could use a little reminder to pause, listen to themselves, and honor what they need.Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R. features thoughtful conversations that challenge assumptions, broaden perspectives, and celebrate the richness of disability experiences, rooted in A.I.R.

As we bid farewell to summer and welcome in the autumn season, I've allowed myself the time and space to do so gently. Consumerism around fall makeovers, home decor and overpriced pumpkin spiced coffee has inspired me to find my own rhythm this year. I've been traversing the hedgerows instead of the shops, appreciating the abundance in nature, noting the blessings I already have and slipping into the new season in my own way. Join me as I make a rosehip syrup with my children, a spiced sugar scrub for simple self care and share delicious recipes and dinner ideas that will put us all in an autumnal mood.  So as the leaves turn and the season shifts, let's welcome autumn in. With a little more intention, a little less consumption and an appreciation for what we already have.For more of my content find me on SubstackFeel free to get in touch on Instagram, facebook or email:rootedbynaturepodcast@gmail.comLinks:For the Mabon youtube video by Mia Rose click hereThe quotes I included belong to Bex, creator of The Witches' Cookery youtube channel, to watch the video click hereSend us Fan Mail

Why Does My Voice Shake When I'm Anxious? — A 10-Minute Guided Meditation for a Shaky Voice & Anxiety Relief | 6-3-9 Breathing Why does my voice shake when I'm anxious? If your voice trembles or wobbles when you talk, whether in a meeting, on the phone or just saying something that matters, this guided meditation is for that kind of anxiety other people can actually hear. Most of us assume the problem is the throat. But anxiety affects the whole system you speak with: your breathing, the muscle tension around your jaw and shoulders, and the way you control your voice. For a quiet place to return to whenever this feeling catches you out, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's free companion app.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode explains why anxious breathing turns short and high in the chest. You try to stand an eleven-word sentence on a breath built for four, and somewhere around word seven the floor runs out. Rather than practising speaking, you'll practise the floor underneath it with 6-3-9 descending breathing: six in, rest for three, and nine slowly out. It's a long, unhurried out-breath your voice can rest on. Then come affirmations for a shaky voice, a calming aura of confidence for the throat and chest, and three caring tips for speaking anxiety. Want more support?

Jann welcomes back high school friend Holly Fortier to delve into the complex history of Indigenous peoples in Canada ahead of September 30th, focusing on the impact of residential schools, the legacy of the Indian Act, and the ongoing journey towards truth and reconciliation. Holly shares her personal connection to these issues through the lens of her mother's experience in a residential school.  Holly also speaks about her work in the film industry, her passion for storytelling, and the importance of Indigenous representation in the arts. She also discusses the significance of teaching Indigenous history to children, and the need for self-care and recognition of Indigenous excellence.  More About Holly Fortier: Holly is Cree/Dene from Ft. McKay First Nation, Alberta, was born in Treaty 7 Territory and was fortunate to be raised by cultural leaders, academics and activists. She owns a business that specializes in the development and delivery of Indigenous Awareness Training. She has been delivering trainings across Canada since 2007 to thousands and thousands of participants from government, corporate clients, educators, service organizations and first responders.  Her passion for sharing Indigenous history and culture rises out of her mother's inspirational survival from a childhood in Indian Residential School, a story of courage, resilience and eventual triumph. Holly's presentations go beyond facts and statistics to insightful personal testimony delivered in a compassionate, non-judgmental way. Those who attend her trainings describe them as “life changing” where they learn things they have never heard before and see complicated cultural issues with new perspective.  Holly's Recommended Links: 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act: Helping Canadians Make Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples a Reality By Bob Joseph https://link.amazon/B01iEyYeB kinanâskomitin  (Thank you in Cree) ~Holly Fortier~ www.nistoconsulting.com www.twocanoesmedia.com https://twocanoesmedia.com/a-mothers-voice/ https://vimeo.com/1077758553/d8f1b7aa59?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Support is available during Truth and Reconciliation Week. If you require support, please contact the 24-Hour Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.

 Hey beautiful people. I've got a little cold and my hair is not cooperating, but I showed up anyway, because I didn't want to procrastinate on talking to you about procrastination. My mom Lois has never put anything off a day in her life, and she genuinely doesn't understand why the rest of us do. This one's for everybody else. Here's the truth: procrastination has nothing to do with how badly you want something. It's an emotional problem, not a productivity problem. You're not avoiding the task. You're avoiding the feeling attached to the task. Once you understand what your brain is doing, you can get the upper hand, and I've seen this work over and over with my clients. Key TakeawaysYour brain can't tell the difference between thinking about something and doing it. Every time you think about that thing you're putting off, your brain believes you're working on it and getting nowhere, so it starts to feel huge.Don't think about it unless you're working on it. Put it in your calendar in small chunks, set a reminder, and let it go until then.Motivation comes after action, not before. Start small, and the good feelings follow.Episode HighlightsA quick lemon exercise that proves your brain reacts to your thoughts like they're realWhy creative people are especially prone to procrastination, and the "perfect problem" that keeps them from startingThe five-minute timer trick I used with a painter client, who showed up with a canvas way bigger than I expectedWhy it takes longer to complain about emptying the dishwasher than to actually empty it (about three minutes, kids)Why your to-do list needs fun things on it too, even Halloween costumes in DecemberA guided meditation where you picture your task already done and feel what that's like, followed by silent repetition of the mantra OmMentions and ReferencesMy book, Honey Do to Honey DONE!, on using reminders and task lists so households can stop arguing about kitty litter and start actually talking to each otherThe "little by little" technique from last seasonMy "It's All in Your Head" T-shirtPickleball players and CrossFit folks, who are proof that feeling good fuels follow-throughTry This Week Pick one thing you've been putting off. Instead of thinking about it all week, put it in your calendar as a short block, even five minutes. When the time comes, get yourself somewhere that feels good: your favorite spot, a candle, your favorite drink. Then just start. And add one fun thing to your to-do list while you're at it.

What season are you in right now?Maybe business is booming and creativity feels effortless. Maybe everything feels quiet, uncertain, uninspired, or painfully slow. Or maybe you're somewhere in between, trying to figure out what the heck is changing.In this episode of Magic Made, Megan and Chrissy are talking about the seasons of creative business, entrepreneurship, and life, and why a slower season doesn't automatically mean something has gone wrong.We live in a culture that loves the hustle. More clients. More content. More growth. More productivity. KEEP GOING. But just like nature moves through winter, spring, summer, and fall, our businesses, creativity, energy, and lives move through seasons too.And every season asks something different of us.We're diving into how to recognize when it's time to push forward and when it's time to rest, why change can feel so uncomfortable even when it's completely natural, and how to stop attaching a negative story to every lull, pivot, or uncertain chapter.We also talk about burnout, navigating hard life seasons while running a creative business, surrendering control, affirmations and mindset, finding magic in the mundane, and the simple reminder Chrissy returns to during difficult chapters:Nothing lasts forever.Megan also shares the “10 seconds at a time” mentality that has stuck with her for years and how tiny moments of courage, movement, or simply noticing a little glimmer of magic can help us move through seasons that feel especially heavy.Because your winter doesn't erase everything you created during your summer.Your pause doesn't mean you failed.And you don't need anyone else's permission to be exactly where you are.00:00 The Seasons of Creative Business02:31 Why Hustle Culture Makes Slow Seasons Feel Wrong05:08 Are You Ignoring the Signs to Slow Down?07:51 Why Change Feels So Uncomfortable10:46 Every Season Serves a Purpose12:58 What Can a Hard Season Teach You?15:55 Why Is Rest So Hard?18:08 Nothing Lasts Forever20:09 Getting Through Hard Seasons 10 Seconds at a Time21:57 Using Mindset & Affirmations to Keep Going24:13 Finding Magic in the Mundane26:22 Stop Asking “Why Is This Happening to Me?”28:09 Is It Happening TO You… or Just Around You?30:05 Remember What You've Already Survived31:28 Give Yourself Permission to Own Your Season33:49 A Reminder for Whatever Season You're In

(11:00) One trend that has progressed and seems consistent is how sugar creates disease. But somehow now, influencers are saying low-carb is wrong. The poison is in the dose and frequency of sugar. (17:00) The invention of the CPG (Consumer Packaged Foods) has evolved into a "profit over people" model. (21:00) Convenience has been marketed in a manner that ultra-processed foods have taken over the market. Any kind of change can be tough, but you can work your way through it.

You can have non-starchy vegetables; however, Vinnie prefers cruciferous veggies the best. Fruits should be avocado, tomatoes, olives, and low-glycemic berries. Sure, other fruits can have nutrients, but if your goal is weight loss, avoid high-sugar fruits. Vinnie explains why white (and most other) potatoes should be avoided. Protein "health" bars are filled with junk. (54:00) They discuss how you can do an NSNG® lifestyle while trying to be vegetarian or even vegan.

"When you throw in the idea of self-care, that makes a lot of Christian people cringe and run away, because what it sounds like is self-interest, self-indulgence, and pride." ~ Pat MilleaIs wanting rest actually a form of pride, or is refusing rest the real problem?What does the prophet Elijah, collapsed under a tree and praying for death, have to teach us about rest and mission?Where's the actual line between self-care and self-indulgence?In this episode of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea tackle a topic that makes a lot of faithful Christians uneasy: self-care. They name the tension head-on, if love means seeking the good of the other, why would seeking your own good ever be justified? From there they work through the common cultural misuses of self-care before proposing a clearly Catholic definition: self-care is seeking out the renewal, recreation, and refreshment we need in order to return to our duties with greater love, freedom, and generosity, not an end in itself.Pat brings two scriptural examples to ground the conversation, including a deep dive into 1 Kings 19, where the prophet Elijah, exhausted and afraid after his showdown with the prophets of Baal, flees into the wilderness and prays for death. God's response isn't a rebuke. It's food, rest, and eventually a face-to-face encounter that sends him back to his mission renewed. Pat and Kenna use that story to draw out the real dividing line between self-indulgence and the kind of self-care that actually serves love.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt guilty for needing rest, or wondered if taking care of themselves is somehow in conflict with taking care of everyone else.Episode 110 Show NotesChapters:(00:00) - Cold Open (00:29) - Welcome, Where in the World, and a Movie Trivia Game (22:17) - Naming the Tension: Does Self-Care Sound Like Pride? (28:16) - A Catholic Definition of Self-Care (34:27) - Elijah in the Wilderness: 1 Kings 19 (39:52) - Self-Care as Return to Mission (54:59) - Challenge by Choice and Closing PrayerSupport the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

Why Do I Feel Guilty After Cancelling Plans? — A 10-Minute Meditation for Relief, Guilt and Needing Rest You sent the message — so sorry, won't be able to make it — and for about four seconds you felt wonderful. Genuine relief. Shoulders coming down, the whole evening handed back to you. And then it turned. Now you're here, phone face down on the cushion, feeling like a terrible friend. If cancelling plans leaves you with that exact one-two of relief and guilt, this guided meditation is for the ten minutes after you press send. For a place to return to whenever this happens, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's companion app.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist Martin Hewlett, this episode uses nadi shodhana, alternate nostril breathing, to hold two feelings side by side without either one winning, then moves into affirmation work that separates the relief (a reading on your own fuel gauge) from the guilt (a feeling, never a fact) — because needing rest was never a character flaw. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – The Four Seconds of Relief* 00:40 – Welcome & Anchored* 01:08 – Two Feelings, Not One Argument* 02:20 – Breathing: Alternate Nostril* 04:54 – Setting the Guilt Down* 05:23 – Warmth Spreading Through You* 06:31 – Affirmations for Cancelling Plans* 07:54 – Settling Deeper* 08:14 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 08:57 – Coming Back Gently* 09:22 – A Note From Martin 

Episode #1193 When does taking care of yourself become abandoning your partner, and when does constantly taking care of everyone else become self-sacrifice? In this episode of The TPM Show, Doug Holt and Christopher Hansen tackle a question many husbands and fathers struggle with: how do you make time for yourself without leaving your wife feeling like she's carrying the family alone? Doug explains how two unhealthy patterns can develop. On one side, a man works hard, provides for his family, and quietly expects something in return. Without ever discussing those expectations with his wife, resentment builds when his needs aren't met. On the other side, a man becomes the martyr. He handles everything, puts himself last, and keeps pushing until he eventually burns out. Neither creates the partnership he actually wants. Doug and Chris discuss covert contracts, communication, burnout, and why healthy self-care isn't about checking out from your responsibilities. It's about communicating with your wife, understanding how your choices affect the family, and creating agreements that allow both partners to get what they need. Chris also shares his own tendency to carry too much until his wife reminds him to slow down and do something that fills him back up. That leads to a practical discussion about scheduling self-care, rediscovering activities you genuinely enjoy, and surrounding yourself with men who will hold you accountable.

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie dig into one of the biggest mindset shifts in running: stop judging success only by distance and start learning what running actually feels like. In this episode, Valerie explains why a run coach is not the same as a running partner, why she needs to watch your movement instead of running beside you, and why the real goal is to build confidence in your own form before chasing bigger mileage. The conversation focuses on running for time, starting and stopping when needed, and using the run itself as a skill-building practice rather than a pass/fail test.The episode also breaks down why so many runners pressure themselves too early by signing up for a race or assigning a distance before they truly know what their body can do. Valerie explains that when runners learn to run for 10 minutes, reset when needed, and then build gradually, they often progress much faster and with less frustration. That same approach helped one runner move from never having run before to completing a 10K, 20K, and eventually training for a 30K, all while learning how to stop, restart, and trust the process.At the heart of the episode is a powerful message about removing mental pressure from running. Valerie emphasizes that running should still be challenging, but it does not have to feel like gasping, wheezing, or “trudging through it.” When runners learn to hold their line, find a fall point, pull their feet, and reset when needed, they often discover that running becomes more fun, more efficient, and much less intimidating. This is the kind of coaching that helps runners move from surviving their runs to actually enjoying them.▶️ 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

Why Am I Scared to Get My Hopes Up? — A 10-Minute Meditation for Fear of Disappointment and Bracing for Bad News Something good is coming. It's booked, it's in the diary, somebody's said yes — and yet when anyone asks, you hear yourself say, "if it happens, we'll see. I'm not getting excited yet." You haven't told many people, just in case you have to un-tell them. If you've ever felt scared to get your hopes up, this guided meditation is for that particular kind of bracing, and what it might feel like to let yourself hope anyway. For a place to return to whenever this feeling shows up, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's companion app — no targets, no streaks, nothing to live up to, just there when you need it.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses 4-7-8 breathing (in for four, hold for seven, out for eight) to help the body soften its guard, then moves into affirmation work that separates hope from risk — because bracing doesn't stop the disappointment, it only stops the joy. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Bracing for Good News* 00:45 – Welcome & Anchored* 01:20 – Why Bracing Feels Like Protection* 02:27 – Breathing: 4-7-8* 05:02 – A Little Room to Hope* 05:51 – Affirmations for Looking Forward* 08:22 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 09:25 – Coming Back Gently* 09:54 – A Note From Martin 

What if some of the anxiety, depression, and mental health issues we experience aren't simply problems inside us? What if they're actually signals telling us something about the world around us? Psychiatrist and author Dr. Joanna Cheek joins the show to challenge the way we think about mental health, diagnosis, treatment, and self-care. Her argument isn't that mental health disorders aren't real. They're real, they can be debilitating, and they deserve professional treatment. But focusing only on the individual can cause us to miss external factors that could be a contributing factor. Focusing on the world or external circumstances raises complicated questions. For example, if anxiety can be a normal response to danger, when does it become an anxiety disorder? If low mood can be a signal that something in our environment isn't working, when does it become depression? And if treatment helps us feel better, does that mean the problem is solved? Listeners Will Learn: ·      Why self-care alone may not be enough to improve mental health ·      What “collective care” means and why it matters ·      How small acts of kindness and connection can benefit well-being ·      Why anxiety and low mood aren't automatically mental health disorders This episode isn't an argument against mental health treatment. It's about asking a bigger question: What if we're treating the symptoms without paying enough attention to what's causing them? Listen now for a fascinating conversation about what we misunderstand about mental health—and what we might be able to do about it. “Self-care isn't enough. We need to care for our collectives because this world will keep making us sick.” ~Dr. Joanna Cheek, Author of “It's Not You It's the World” Our guest, Joanna Cheek, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist, psychotherapist trained in dozens of modalities, researcher, meditation teacher, journalist, and Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Medicine. She co-created the national-award-winning Mind Space collective, offering publicly-funded mental health workshops to teach effective mental health strategies through connection and care to tens of thousands of community members and physicians who, like us all, experience the mental health symptoms that arise from living in a disordered world. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

(3:00) Vinnie has established two rules for himself based on this. He never wants to risk wasting time. They discuss how much screen time people have, with multiple screens being viewed at once. (15:00) This leads to a discussion about storytelling and older movies. Vinnie spends as little time as possible on screen and on social media. (28:30) Chris found a study about how bad health and fitness influencers often are. (30:30) So they found that 78% of health, fitness, and diet influencers are unqualified. More than two-thirds of the posts that they analyzed contained misleading, deceptive, or completely untrue information. They discuss misinformation online and in ads. (38:30) The amount of sugar Tadej Pogačar reportedly consumes while racing is dangerous. Drinking too much water too quickly is dangerous, too.

Episode 2856 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss a company making mozzarella without cows or FDA clearance, xylitol, and eating real food. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/09/mozzarella-without-cows-episode-2856 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Mozzarella Without Cows Vinnie's favorite game is in season, so they discuss unusual names. (6:00) Which leads to a favorite game: "Stripper vs. NFL" Anna found an article about lab-grown mozzarella. (27:00) It has been cleared without FDA approval. New Culture declared its own ingredient safe under a legal pathway called self-affirmed as generally recognized as safe, and never needed a decision from the agency. Getting rid of cattle is a bad idea since they are ruminants and they keep soil healthy. (36:00) Anna reads an article that states artificial sweeteners are linked to a much higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. (40:15) Xylitol, often used in gums, toothpaste, and more, may lead to an increase in cardiac risk. They discuss other sweeteners, their effects, and downsides. (43:00) Go back to the rules: stick to whole foods, or real foods, not ultra-processed foods. (50:00) Anna is making her own mustard, and will be posting her recipe soon. (51:30) Anna's next cookbook, Eat Happy Cocktail Hour, is filled with cocktails, mocktails, and appetizers and is available for pre-order right now. If you pre-order, you'll get bonus goodies!
