So many of us aren't sleeping as well as we should - stress, screens, and busy lives make it harder than ever to wind down. That's why I'm so excited about Lavender Latte from Organic Traditions - a soothing, functional sleep latte designed to help you unwind, relax, and ease into a deeper, more restorative sleep. I've been using Lavender Latte for the last few weeks and have noticed a big difference in the quality of my sleep. I feel relaxed sooner into the evening and am falling asleep more quickly. Each warm, creamy cup blends Ashwagandha for relaxation support, tart cherry for natural melatonin support, and 1 billion CFU of gut-healing probiotics - so it's not just calming, it's nourishing for your gut as well. And the taste is incredible. It has this soft, cozy flavour of lavender and tart cherry that feels like a warm hug at the end of a long day. It's low sugar, dairy free, certified organic, and it mixes instantly - just stir with hot water or warm milk and it turns into the most beautiful nighttime ritual. What I love most is how simple it makes sleep support. No complicated routines, no harsh sleep aids - just a delicious, functional latte that helps your body shift into rest mode naturally. So, if you've been feeling wired at night, restless, or just craving more grounded evenings, this might be the bedtime ritual you've been missing.

Episode 3377: Dr. Lisa Firestone explores how our emotional history, especially early experiences with money, shapes our current financial stress and self-worth. She reveals how the "critical inner voice" hijacks our judgment, fueling guilt, anxiety, and self-sabotage, and offers practical tools for developing healthier financial beliefs and habits. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.psychalive.org/money-stress-why-we-feel-bad-about-money/ Quotes to ponder: "The critical inner voice can cloud your judgment when it comes to money, because you are no longer making choices based on real, practical information." "Don't avoid your fears or try to self-soothe. Neither buying something you can't afford nor denying yourself any little luxury will truly relieve you." “The critical inner voice often creates conflict between couples when it comes to money.” Episode references: Stress in America survey by the American Psychological Association: https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/stress Learn more about your ad choices.

The holidays are the time of year we're most likely to spend time with our extended families— visits which can also bring guilt, frustration, and overwhelming expectations. In this episode, Amy and family counselor Erin Cox dive into the challenges of holiday family dynamics: setting boundaries, splitting time between multiple households, managing difficult relatives, and trying to create a joyful season for our own kids without losing ourselves in the process. We explore why returning home makes boundaries harder to keep, why the pressure ramps up this time of year, and how to stay grounded when everyone wants something from you. From travel burnout to critical parents, hosting fatigue, mismatched traditions, and even holiday pet drama, we're talking through the real stories listeners shared — and how to protect your peace while still showing up with love. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why boundaries feel harder to hold around the holidays The stress of splitting time between multiple sets of grandparents Handling critical or overbearing parents with grace (and limits) What to do when the most difficult family member controls the vibe How to pass holiday hosting to the next generation without hurting anyone's feelings We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

We're back and diving headfirst into the whirlwind that was our Thanksgiving weekend—because what better way to jump back in than with a little chaos, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of Disney?We kick things off at Disney Springs with a quick update on the brand-new Disney Drop Shop, a permanent addition to the Marketplace Co-Op that's basically a treasure chest for collectors. Blind boxes, Cosbi figures, Pop Mart surprises… if it's tiny, adorable, and dangerously addictive, it's probably in this shop.From there, we slide over to STK Orlando for a lunch that… well… didn't exactly steal our hearts. We break down what we ordered—from the Filet Sandwich and Wagyu Burger to the towering Parmesan Truffle Fries—and talk about why this meal left us scratching our heads more than licking our fingers.Then it's time to trade “meh” for “merry” as we step into the glitz and glow of Disney's Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios. We cover everything from early entry strategy to the incredible entertainment lineup, including Disney Holidays in Hollywood, the Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along, and the stunning Glisten! ice-skating show. We explore special themed areas like Holiday Fiesta en la Calle, the Pixar Disco, and the always-fabulous Tip-Top Club, plus rare character sightings like Partysaurus Rex and Bing Bong!With festive snacks, low wait times on major attractions, and a party atmosphere that blends retro glam with Disney whimsy, Jollywood Nights truly shines.Join us as we recap the highs, lows, laughs, and magic of a very busy holiday weekend.

Hey Nurse friend, Take a deep breath. You made it here, and that alone shows how much your soul is craving a moment of peace. If you are listening as a nurse who is exhausted—emotionally, physically, spiritually—I want you to know this: You are not alone. You're not failing. And your feelings are valid. Christmas can feel heavy when you're the one holding everyone else together. But today, you get to be held. This breath prayer is your reset. A moment to slow down, reconnect, and remember the truth: Emmanuel—God with us. God with you. Wherever you are—maybe driving home from a shift, on your couch, or getting ready for work—let your shoulders soften. Unclench your jaw.Feel your breath settle. Let's take one deep inhale… And a long, slow exhale. Again… Inhale peace… Exhale tension. Your nervous system is safe here. Your body is allowed to rest here. verse: In Matthew 1:23 it says: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and They will call Him Emmanuel, which means God with us.” Talk to God in this time- make this your prayer. Notice what thoughts come in these 3 minutes, what feelings arise, what each word feels like as it comes out of your mouth. Meditate on these words. If possible, place one hand on your heart. 3 min : Inhale: Emmanuel Exhale: You are with me Please share this episode with everyone who needs a little more peace this season!

“Wake me when there's a yield. Until then, it's just electronic tulips with a nice PR team,” said a junk-bond trader I slept with in the '80s, who later asked me about Bitcoin from Sing Sing.This post, like my period, is three months late and  yet another matter AI cannot solve, given my procrastination and sheer laziness. I remind you: I do not have a job, but I also do not have access to cash due to my husband's mob ties. Crypto solves this.Luckily I'm not pregnant, because I can't deal with the weight gain  and no, my lack of blood is not age-related, thank you very much. I've simply been doing laps every morning in the jail swimming pool with some of the loveliest felons from the heyday of trad-fi in the '80s. Whoever claimed crypto had the most criminals clearly never lived through the Boiler Room years of slicked-back junk-bond bros whose foreplay consisted of a dry finger-bang while saying things like “financed raider” and “ramping the stock.” Even after all that, I still can't handle the on-chain mess we have today. Stress level: high.Between Bitcoin's drastic drop blasting through my alimony and child support; yes, I asked for the funds to be in Bitcoin, and yes, that day happened to land on October 10, which historically is the worst week for us Jews,  I remain violently underwhelmed by machine learning.I instead cling to my hardcore, conservative, maximalist American values: the Bitcoin white paper, my Bible pure and pristine collateral with no need for interference. Much like my engagement ring, which was a gift. In this season of greetings, it's important to remember what we're grateful for. My list has been the same since I was thirteen years old: cigarettes, private jets, and Xanax.I digress.My guest today is the following Ivy League contemporary: Kyle O'Brien. He almost married my sister, which would have been awkward given the throbbing sexual tension permeating this episode. I am in awe of Kyle  due to  his knowledge, his Frenchness, his homoerotic encryption, and his commitment to longevity in a country where the biggest moneymaker is suicide prevention and Lexapro. Kyle is hot. Kyle is smart. He is also, allegedly, best friends with Biggie, Tupac, and Pavarotti from his stint at RapGenius.He is the primary advisor to the Founder & CEO of Zama AI. He is co-pilot on strategy, execution, startup acceleration, partnerships, growth experiments, new ventures, and “special projects that are not drugs. .Zama is an open-source cryptography company building state-of-the-art Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) solutions for blockchain and AI  basically wizard-level math that lets machines compute on encrypted data without ever seeing it.

Bienvenue sur Sensées, le format audio de ma newsletter hebdomadaire. Chaque semaine, je vous partage avec authenticité des conseils de leadership féminin, des expériences vécues et toute l'énergie dont vous avez besoin pour réussir avec confiance et sérénité.Cette semaine : Pourquoi la vie personnelle et professionnelle s'influencent : 7 situations où les femmes leaders ne peuvent pas cloisonner.Dans cet épisode de Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, explore un sujet auquel toutes les femmes leaders sont confrontées : la manière dont la vie personnelle et professionnelle s'entremêlent, parfois malgré nous. Car au-delà des injonctions à cloisonner, la réalité est simple : nous sommes un seul et même être, et ce que nous vivons dans notre intimité impacte notre façon de travailler. Apprendre à accueillir cette porosité plutôt qu'à la combattre est une étape cruciale pour préserver son énergie, son équilibre et son leadership.À travers sept situations réelles tirées de son expérience de coach, Jenny met en lumière comment la vie personnelle et professionnelle s'influencent profondément : la parentalité, la charge domestique, le couple, la santé, les transitions familiales, l'expatriation, la maladie, mais aussi les moments heureux comme un début de relation amoureuse. Ces exemples illustrent que vouloir cloisonner coûte bien plus d'énergie que d'accepter ce qui est. Car ce qui épuise les femmes leaders n'est pas seulement ce qu'elles vivent dans leur vie privée : c'est aussi la pression ajoutée de devoir “faire comme si de rien n'était” au travail.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Comprendre pourquoi il est illusoire de séparer strictement vie personnelle et professionnelle.– Identifier les zones de tension émotionnelle qui influencent votre performance au travail.– Reconnaître la surcharge mentale liée à la résistance, au contrôle et à la culpabilité.– Trouver une posture plus douce et plus durable pour avancer même en période de turbulence.– Apprendre à traverser les tempêtes sans perdre totalement votre énergie professionnelle.Cet épisode est une invitation à regarder avec honnêteté comment votre réalité intérieure influence vos journées et vos décisions. Plutôt que de chercher à cloisonner coûte que coûte, Jenny vous propose de développer une approche plus humaine, plus lucide et plus résiliente : accueillir ce qui se passe, ajuster votre niveau d'exigence, exprimer vos besoins lorsque c'est possible et accepter que l'équilibre n'est jamais figé.Après vingt ans de carrière en entreprise, d'expatriation, de direction, de reconversion et de parentalité, et après avoir accompagné des centaines de femmes, Jenny partage des clefs pragmatiques et profondes pour avancer avec clarté, sans s'effondrer ni se juger. Car la véritable question n'est pas “Comment cloisonner ?” mais : “Comment traverser la vie personnelle et professionnelle lorsque tout bouge en même temps ?”.Pour aller plus loin, découvrez le programme Sensées, conçu pour aider les femmes leaders à sortir du surmenage et à construire un leadership durable.

Will hybrid grapes help vineyards survive climate change? Professor Karine Pedneault of the Université du Québec en Outaouais explores this question through trials that expose grapevines to drought and heat stress. Testing both vinifera and hybrid varieties, her research measured plant water flow and metabolic responses to determine resilience. While hybrids still carry a stigma around flavor, they showed promising resistance, raising the potential to reduce fungicide use by up to half and adapt more sustainably to extreme weather scenarios.   Resources:   223: New Decision Support System for Irrigation Efficiency 213: High Resolution Data from Space Helps Farmers Plan for Climate Change Karine Pedneault  Karine Pedneault – Google Scholar Karine Pedneault - Instagram Karine Pedneault - LinkedIn Karine Pedneault – Research Gate Metabolic response of vitis vinifera and interspecific vitis sp. varieties to heat stress, water deficit and combined stress, using a metabolomic approach The organic vineyard as a balanced ecosystem: Improved organic grape management and impacts on wine quality  Vineyard Team Programs:  Juan Nevarez Memorial Scholarship - Donate Online Courses – DPR & CCA Hours SIP Certified – Show your care for the people and planet   Sustainable Ag Expo – The premiere winegrowing event of the year  Vineyard Team – Become a Member

In today's episode, I'm opening the first chapter of what I believe is the most important series I've ever created — a deep dive into progesterone and why it became the heart of my medical practice. For more than 20 years, I've watched this “simple, humble hormone” transform women's lives in ways most conventional medicine overlooks. What started in two small treatment rooms has grown into a 25,000 sq ft facility, and the core of our success comes down to understanding progesterone's impact on the female brain, stress response, and emotional resilience. In this episode, I break down: Why progesterone is far more than a reproductive hormone How it regulates the female stress response (amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex) Why anxiety, insomnia, irritability, and emotional overwhelm often map directly to progesterone decline Why so many women feel “unraveled” in their 40s — and why it's not their fault The science behind oral vs. sublingual progesterone (and why I use troches) How conventional medicine often misses the root cause The importance of physicians showing their work, their data, and their citations The lived stories and clinical outcomes that changed how I practice medicine If you've ever felt dismissed, unseen, or told that your anxiety or mood changes are “just stress,” this episode is for you. This is the beginning of a 7-part series where I break down the neurobiology, endocrinology, testing, dosing, delivery methods, breast health, perimenopause, and more.   Citations: Brinton, Roberta Diaz, et al. “Neurosteroids and Brain Function.” Steroids, vol. 81, 2014, pp. 61–78.

In this conversation, Sherry sits down with Natalie Jurado, founder of Be Rooted In, to explore one of the most overlooked yet life-changing minerals: magnesium.If you've struggled with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, burnout, muscle cramps, headaches, hormonal imbalance, chronic stress, or that “tired but wired” feeling… this episode will open a new door.Natalie shares her journey — from sleeping only two hours a night and having public panic attacks to reclaiming her nervous system, peace, and vitality through magnesium.1. Natalie's Story: From Panic to PeaceNatalie describes a season of snapping at her kids, constant anxiety, panic attacks in grocery stores, lack of sleep, and juggling business and motherhood. After countless tests and dismissals, a customer suggested magnesium. Within a week of topical magnesium chloride, her sleep improved from two hours to six, and panic attacks stopped — sparking her life's work.2. Why So Many Are Magnesium DeficientMagnesium is stored mostly in muscles (60%) and bones (40%); only 1% is in the blood, so deficiency often goes undetected. Deficiency is common because: chronic stress, caffeine, alcohol, sugar (54 molecules of magnesium per sugar molecule), and exercise drain magnesium. Getting enough through food alone? You'd need 10 cups of raw spinach daily. No wonder 70% of people are deficient.3. Stress, Cortisol & MagnesiumMagnesium supports the parasympathetic nervous system — “rest, digest, repair.” Stress burns magnesium, which makes regulating stress harder. Magnesium acts as a brake for the nervous system, and deficiency keeps us stuck in fight-or-flight. Culturally, we normalize burnout; magnesium offers a physiological path back to calm.4. Symptoms of DeficiencyCommon signs include headaches, migraines, insomnia, restless legs, cramps, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, and depression. These are not “normal” — they are signs of a depleted nervous system.5. How Do We Know If We're Getting Enough?Food high in magnesium includes leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate. But stress, diet, lifestyle, and environment affect absorption, and food alone may not suffice.6. Types of MagnesiumNatalie breaks down 11 types:Avoid: Oxide (4% absorbed), Carbonate — mostly wasted.Prefer: Glycinate (sleep, anxiety), Malate (energy, muscles), Threonate (brain fog), Sulfate/Epsom (baths, cramps), Chloride (creams, transdermal).7. Daily Magnesium RoutineNatalie spreads doses: cream after morning workout, supplement with breakfast, cream again in evening, and leg/foot application before bed to maximize absorption.8. DosageRDA is 350–400 mg for healthy people. Chronic stress, caffeine, sugar, exercise, or sweating increases needs. Natalie takes 700–800 mg/day. Magnesium is hard to overdose — the body self-regulates.9. The Heart Behind Her WorkNatalie's mission: stop unnecessary suffering, provide the information she lacked, and reduce needless doctor visits. Her work is service.10. Where to Find NatalieWebsite: BeRootedIn.comSocial: @berootedinYour TakeawaysAnxiety and exhaustion aren't “just” what they seem. Normal symptoms aren't always normal. Magnesium is essential for stress recovery, sleep, nervous system regulation, hormones, and mental health. Lifestyle factors impact magnesium needs. Don't let others define what's normal for your body. This episode is a permission slip to rethink your symptoms and reclaim calm.

“Stress is growth. It's the driver of evolution itself. Stress is what creates everything. We need to reframe the very meaning of stress so that we don't fear it.” —Tammy AllenSome days, life feels like one long sprint where stress keeps piling up faster than clarity. There are moments when the world pushes harder than expected, and it becomes tempting to believe the pressure means something is wrong. It may be worth considering that stress could be pointing toward growth instead of defeat.Tammy Allen brings decades of real-life experience to this idea, shaped by a childhood marked by responsibility, a violent early relationship she escaped, and a lifetime of reinvention that led to her work on stress, intuition, and resilience. Her journey fuels her mission to help others turn survival mode into grounded confidence.Press play for an honest, energizing look at stress that leaves room for hope, humor, and real change.Topics covered:• Childhood patterns that shape adult stress responses• Surviving trauma and learning strategic calm• The survival response and how to redirect it• Declarations and tools that retrain thinking• Building doubtless confidence through action• Why intuition becomes louder in stillness• Stress during world chaos and staying in personal coherence• Creativity, problem solving, and finding the third option• The Great Stress Reset and practical resets for daily lifeConnect with Heather: WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebook YouTubeEpisode Highlights:01:34 Redefining Aging and “The Juice of Life” Philosophy 07:00 Escaping an Abusive Relationship and Learning Survival Strategy 14:00 Why Stress Exists and How to Reframe It20:09 Why Creativity Peaks at 9 AM and Capturing Ideas Fast27:45 Turning Stress Into Doubtless Confidence31:58 Breaking the “Poor Me” Cycle37:40 Taking Action Strategically: Influence vs Control43:30 Collective Growth Resources:

When it comes to getting behind the wheel, there’s a lot to be stressed about, and we're not just talking about bad drivers. The average cost of a new car today is about $50,000. Car insurance rates have risen 55% since February 2020. Car maintenance costs are also on the rise. Today, we talk about what you should know if you’re in the market for a new vehicle. Later, we hear from the Connecticut Mirror. They recently completed an in-depth investigation into vehicle-selling practices at Connecticut towing companies.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Emeran Mayer, Executive Director at the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience and founder of Mayer Interconnected. They explore the science behind the gut-brain connection and its role in shaping health and longevity.Emeran explains how signals flow between the brain, gut, and microbiome, influencing everything from digestion to emotions. He breaks down how modern diets, especially ultra-processed foods, disrupt the natural balance between humans and gut microbes—a relationship refined over thousands of years. The conversation highlights why early life exposure to antibiotics can have lasting effects on microbiome resilience, and how lifestyle choices like diet and exercise remain powerful tools for supporting gut-brain health at any age.The discussion closes with a look toward the future of gut-brain science, including engineered probiotics and the promise of more targeted therapies. Emeran shares practical habits for better gut-brain health and cautions against quick-fix “biohacking,” encouraging a return to whole foods, movement, and mindful living.Guest-at-a-Glance

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Vanessa Spina break down new human research showing why high protein doesn't block autophagy when calories are low. You'll learn how this changes everything we've believed about protein timing, fasting, and cellular repair. The conversation also reveals why prioritizing protein can accelerate fat loss without sacrificing muscle.   You'll hear how protein impacts appetite, hormones, and metabolic flexibility—and why many people overeat simply because they're under-consuming essential amino acids. Vanessa explains the protein leverage effect and how it naturally reduces cravings, stabilizes blood sugar, and makes eating "effortlessly" satisfying. These insights can help you rethink how you build your daily meals.   You'll discover why certain fasting styles can increase visceral fat loss, support hormonal balance, and boost performance. Expect a mix of science, real-world application, and surprising findings you may not have heard before.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction and Exciting New Study 00:21 Welcome and Guest Introduction 00:30 Deep Dive into the New Study 01:52 Vanessa Spina's Expertise and Background 05:47 Interview with Vanessa Spina Begins 06:15 Discussion on Protein Absorption Study 14:04 Personal Experiences with Protein and Fasting 16:55 Debunking Protein Myths 18:10 Nutrition Principles and Protein Prioritization 22:23 Ketones, Satiety, and Inflammation 27:07 Balancing Hormones and Stress 31:17 Understanding Autophagy and Protein Intake 32:35 The Importance of Human Trials in Research 35:11 Study on High Protein Fasting Mimicking Diet 38:38 Results and Implications of the Study 42:18 Personal Experiences with Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting 45:32 Practical Tips for Implementing Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting 57:54 Comparing Different Fasting Approaches 01:01:13 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.

Many people experience a deep, lingering fatigue that isn't fixed by a full night's sleep, and it often stems from real imbalances inside the body. When mitochondria—the tiny engines that power our cells—are stressed by poor diet, toxins, infections, or lack of rest, the whole system can slow down. Ongoing stress can also disrupt the adrenal system, leaving some people feeling wired and anxious while others feel drained from morning to night. The encouraging news is that steady habits like nourishing whole foods, balanced blood sugar, restorative sleep, and gentle movement can help the body find its rhythm again. With the right support, energy often returns, and a sense of hope does, too. In this episode, I dive into, along with Dr. Izabella Wentz and Dr. Elizabeth Boham, the real roots of chronic fatigue, showing how stress, lifestyle, and hidden imbalances drain our energy—and how practical, nourishing habits can help restore it. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto's: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto's Protocol, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.
