Podcasts about Stress

There is no escaping stress but cortisol in menopause changes. With that, your stress response to nearly everything may change.  You don't feel it at first but then there's unexplained weight gain or belly fat. There's less focus or concentration than you used to have. It shows up in different ways for each of us.    My Guest: Sara Banta is a Certified Dietary Supplement Professional and member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, helping people take their health into their own hands using cutting-edge natural supplements, DNA-driven nutrition, and real lifestyle solutions.

[00:00:00] What is causing chronic stress? [00:00:00] Why is this so critical to understand what impacts cortisol in menopause? [00:00:00] How does it affect muscle gain and fat loss? [00:00:00] How is the thyroid related to the adrenals? [00:00:00] How can you maintain and build lean muscle while under stress over 50? [00:00:00] What supplements help get your adrenals back on track? [00:00:00] What lifestyle habits either kill or improve cortisol?   Why Cortisol in Menopause Makes Stress Feel Different   Acute vs Chronic Cortisol Acute stress Short-term, natural response to immediate danger. Cortisol helps survival (fight-or-flight). Immune system goes up. Chronic stress Prolonged, ongoing; body never recovers. Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated → negative health effects.   Causes of Chronic Stress in Midlife & Menopause Perimenopause & menopause: the stressors don't change, but the response to them does. Common triggers: lack of sleep, poor diet, environmental toxins, over-exercise, emotional stress.   Cortisol's Effect on Muscle Gain & Fat Loss Elevated cortisol breaks down muscle tissue. Interferes with protein synthesis, leading to muscle loss. Promotes fat storage, especially visceral (belly) fat. Lowers metabolism → makes weight management harder.   Lifestyle Solutions for Cortisol in Menopause Diet: whole foods, protein-rich, healthy fats, avoid processed sugar. Supplements: adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola), magnesium, vitamin C or Sara Banta's Cortisol Reset Detox Recovery: sleep, restorative exercise (yoga, walking, pilates), breathwork, meditation.   Connect with Sara: Website - Accelerated Health Products and Sara Banta Health Facebook - Accelerated Health Products  Instagram - @acceleratedhealthproducts  X - Sara Banta  YouTube - @AcceleratedHealthSaraBanta  TikTok - @ahpsupplements_    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - The New Menopause Therapy: Confessions of a Femme Fatale Next Episode - Aging with Power, (Without an Outage) with Vonda Wright More Like This: To Detox and If So How to Detox: Midlife Woman to Midlife Woman Is Your Liver Preventing Muscle Growth in Menopause?

Life is going sideways. You're snapping at your people, overthinking, doom scrolling, or eating all the snacks. You know things aren't going well, but it feels like you just can't stop, and you can't get out of the pattern. The momentum of these moments can feel impossible to interrupt, even when you're fully aware that what you're doing isn't working.   In this episode, I'm sharing the neuroscience behind why we get stuck in these reactive patterns and how our brain's survival mode takes over when we're stressed. Through a simple three-step process, you can interrupt the stress spiral and access more choice. The key isn't waiting for the perfect moment or overhauling everything; it's about creating what I call "one-degree shifts."   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/185

For the first time in Coffee Talk history, we've taken a great conversation that went nearly an hour-and-a-half, and turned into 2 Parts. It is interesting to note, that in our efforts to talk about the topic of “communication,” it took way longer than we had planned for! Apparently, healthy and effective communication requires some work!  _ _ _ _ _Official WebsiteInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTube

#169  - When Medicine Can't Explain Your Symptoms: The Deep Stress-Trauma Link Your Doctor Is Missing with Neuroplastic Expert, David Clarke, MD What if your chronic symptoms aren't just “in your body”… but are being generated by your brain? In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm sitting down with Dr. David Clarke, MD—author, speaker, and president of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms—to dive into a game-changing topic most doctors aren't even talking about: how stress, trauma, and repressed emotions can drive real, physical illness. We're breaking down what neuroplastic symptoms are, how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) silently program your health later in life, and why you might feel terrible even when your lab tests are “normal.” (Fun fact: the brain can cause real pain, gut issues, migraines, and autoimmune symptoms—and no, it's not "just in your head.") You'll learn why understanding the mind-body connection isn't about blaming yourself—it's about finally getting real answers that actually lead to healing. If you're tired of dead-end doctor visits, bandaid treatments, and feeling like a medical mystery, this episode might be the lightbulb moment you've been waiting for. Because healing isn't just possible—it might be closer than you think. LInks & Resources: Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

We're so excited to welcome back one of our favorite guests, Dr. Cleopatra. Every time we talk to her, we walk away feeling lit up with inspiration, grounded in truth, and so empowered in our own ability to create our own health and vitality. In this conversation, we go deep into fertility but not just as the ability to conceive, we also explore the sacred energy connected to creation itself, our biological age, and the way we live day-to-day. Dr. Cleopatra shares how much of our fertility and health is actually within our control, why our biological age matters more than our chronological age, and the powerful role our mindset, stress levels, and daily choices play in the health of our eggs, our bodies, and even future generations.   Key Takeaways:   Why fertility is really about creation energy (not just conception) The real reason biological age matters more than chronological age How stress and past experiences quietly shape reproductive health The hidden cost of living in survival mode on your body's ability to create What balancing feminine and masculine energy makes possible for your health Simple shifts that can start improving egg quality and vitality now Connect with Dr. Cleopatra:   fertilitypregnancy.org   Instagram: @doctor_cleopatra | @fertilitypregnancy   Youtube: @dr.cleopatrasfertilitypreg9807 DayLuna:   FREE Transits & The Harmonic Gate Mini-Course   FREE Human Design Readings 101 Masterclass   Join Your Human Design Besties Book a Reading With Us Here!

What if you could shift your child's behavior not with consequences, but with calm? What if the most powerful tool you have is love—biochemically speaking? In this eye-opening episode, Colleen O'Grady welcomes trauma and adoption expert Bryan Post to unpack the neuroscience behind stress and connection in parenting. Bryan explains how fear-based reactions (driven by cortisol) and love-based responses (driven by oxytocin) shape our children's behaviors—and our reactions to them. Drawing from his own story as an adoptee, Bryan introduces the concept of “stress-sensitive children,” emphasizing that behaviors we label as “bad” often stem from unhealed trauma and unconscious grief. Through vivid stories and science-backed insights, Bryan offers simple, powerful shifts moms can make—starting with breathing—to transform stress into connection. Bryan Post is one of the nation's leading experts on child behavior, trauma, and adoption. An adoptee and former foster child himself, Bryan founded Fear to Love LLC and developed the Fear to Love Method, a neuroscience-based, love-focused approach to parenting children with challenging behaviors. He's a therapist, speaker, and bestselling author of From Fear to Love and co-author of Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control. He is also the creator of Bondify the first AI-powered trauma-informed parenting support app. All behavior arises from a state of stress. Underneath every meltdown or defiance is a nervous system overwhelmed by fear, often from unexpressed trauma or grief—sometimes passed down for generations. Oxytocin is the antidote to cortisol. Just as stress creates fear-driven behaviors, connection creates calm. Nurturing relationships, not consequences, help regulate the brain. Breathe first. Respond second. When parents slow down and breathe, they can shift their vibration from fear to love. That energy change alone can stop a four-year tantrum cycle in its tracks.

If you've ever wondered why you keep waking up at 2am, 3am, or right before your alarm goes off, this episode is for you. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren't random; they're your body's way of sending signals that something deeper might be out of balance.  Instead of brushing it off as “just bad sleep,” we'll break down what your wake-up times might be revealing about your hormones, gut, blood sugar, and more. Think of your sleep like a night shift at a factory. Different departments run on different schedules. If one department has a problem, the alarm goes off at that time. By tracking your wake-up patterns, you can start to see the clues your body is leaving. We'll dive into the most common causes, from blood sugar dips and cortisol spikes, to low progesterone, high histamine, and even liver overload. You'll hear simple analogies like your brain's “glass of wine” being empty without progesterone, or your liver as the night shift cleaner making noise when it's overloaded that make these complex concepts easy to understand. We'll also cover lifestyle factors like blue light, meal timing, hydration, and circadian rhythm, because sometimes the simplest tweaks make the biggest difference.  By the end, you'll know how to decode your body's signals, track what's really happening, and take small, sustainable steps toward better sleep. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. This episode will help you finally understand the messages and reclaim deep, restorative rest.  Time Stamps:  (1:25) Upcoming Retreat (3:22) Why Do I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night? (5:50) Timing Of When You're Waking Up At Night (8:47) 1 to 3 AM and The Liver (9:32) Dryer Lint Talk (11:09) Common Causes of Waking Up (15:17) Cortisol and Blood Sugar (18:05) Low Progesterone (23:54) Dehydration (26:50) Gut Imbalances (29:39) Lifestyle Factors (32:41) First Steps---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

My guest for Episode #322 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Rob Dorgan, a multi-talented professional whose career path has taken him from paralegal to college professor, retail store owner, manufacturing company president, and now licensed massage therapist, certified yoga educator, meditation teacher, and astrologer. Rob is also the author of Awakening the Mystic: A Novel of Cosmic Love and Healing. Episode page with video and more His favorite mistake? Taking what was meant to be a short trip to Europe while working on his PhD — a journey that led him to never return to that academic track. Instead, it opened his eyes to a different pace of life, sparked a reassessment of what success meant to him, and ultimately set him on a more balanced and meaningful career path. In our conversation, Rob shares how that decision — which family and friends initially questioned — allowed him to escape burnout and embrace a life and career that integrates his passions for teaching, creativity, and well-being. He reflects on lessons learned from his “type A” years in academia and business, the importance of slowing down, and how yoga, meditation, and practical stress relief can improve both personal health and workplace culture. We also discuss his experience bringing these tools into corporate environments, where employees not only benefit individually but also feel more supported by their organizations. “Stress comes on so slowly that it becomes your normal — and you forget what life without it feels like.” That realization, Rob says, is what helped him see the deeper value of meditation and mindful living. We also talk about his book's concepts — from the “five kleshas” in yoga philosophy to the idea of an “inner council” — and how self-awareness can help us navigate life's choices. Whether you're navigating a career change, seeking better work-life balance, or simply curious about practical ways to reduce stress, Rob's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake? How did your trip to Europe during your PhD studies change your career path? Did you consider moving to Europe to teach in that more relaxed environment? What countries did you visit on that trip? How did you go from teaching to starting a retail store and then leading a manufacturing company? Did yoga and meditation help you become a better leader? How did your personal stress experiences influence how you led the company? How have attitudes toward workplace stress changed since the 1990s? How do you make meditation and stress relief practical for corporate settings? How do companies usually find and bring you in for corporate sessions? What types of people attend your retreats, and what do they take away? How did you personally discover the benefits of a consistent yoga practice? How can yoga and meditation help with stress-related physical issues? What are the “five kleshas” in yoga philosophy? How do those concepts connect to ego, attachment, and fear? What is the “inner council” in your book, and how does it work? How did your interest in astrology begin? How can knowing your “council leader” help you in life and work? How did you balance the drive to finish your book with avoiding stress? What's your advice for building habits like meditation or yoga into daily life?

 We kick off the show with a look at the week's market action, where a slight uptick in the Consumer Price Index contrasted with a much stronger-than-expected Producer Price Index. With inflation data in focus, markets are now leaning heavily toward the Fed cutting rates at its September meeting. Gen Z is redefining romance, ditching pricey dinners for budget-friendly (and often free) date nights, all while prioritizing savings and paying down debt. But here's the twist: financial stability might just be the ultimate attraction. This week, we'll explore why Gen Z could be the most financially literate generation yet, how cheap dates can still be meaningful, why financial security can be “sexy,” and what it all means for love, independence, and long-term happiness. Meanwhile, Nvidia's explosive rise in the AI chip market has minted millionaires at a jaw-dropping pace as nearly half its employees are reportedly worth more than $25 million. But behind the stock-fueled fortune lies a high-pressure culture some call “golden handcuffs,” where long hours and relentless expectations come with the territory. And speaking of stock compensation, it can be a powerful wealth-building tool, but it's also packed with tricky tax questions. We'll tackle a real-world RSU scenario: If taxes are withheld at grant date, but you won't receive the stock until it vests—and you know you'll retire before some of those shares vest—should you accept them anyway? Or is it smarter to walk away from stock you'll never see? We'll break down how RSUs work, the tax implications, and strategies to consider when your career timeline clashes with your vesting schedule. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty. Henssler Money Talks — August 16, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 33 Timestamps and Chapters 5:31: Slowing Consumer Prices but Hot Producer Prices 17:47: Is Financial Stability the New Love Language? 28:26: From Stock Options to Stress 37:32: When Your Vesting Schedule Outruns Your Career Follow Henssler:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HensslerFinancial/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/HensslerFinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/henssler-financial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hensslerfinancial?lang=en X: https://www.x.com/hensslergroup  “Henssler Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.

A myth-busting interview: Cloud seeding with Chief Meteorologist Kenny Miller. Would you feel comfortable renting someone's personal vehicle? I share my Turo experience, and how livestock producers are rocking music to fight off wolves Season 5, Episode 250 Interview With Meteorologist Kenny Miller: The Truth About Cloud Seeding & Cloud Modifications We've heard people blame cloud seeding for everything from droughts to flooding via social media. Now it was time to break down Cloud Seeding: What Is It, and What Does It Do? First, What Is Cloud Seeding, Really? Meet KX News Chief Meteorologist Kenny Miller, who explained cloud seeding as a weather modification method that encourages rainfall or can reduce hail size by introducing silver iodide into storm clouds. The thought process is to help increase moisture to avoid drought by squeezing just a little bit more rain from smaller rain cloud systems. North Dakota Cloud Modification Project Cloud Seeding or Could Modification began in North Dakota in 1962, and is considered the longest running project in the United States. According to Miller, injecting the clouds in a drought scenario has the possibility of taking a 1" rainfall total to 1.10" or in a hail threat situation a 2" hail stone could be reduced to a 1" size for example. Reference: https://www.kxnet.com/news/local-news/cloud-seeding-what-is-it-and-what-does-it-do/ Debunking the Common Myths Myth: It steals rain from other areas. → Nope. Clouds either rain or they don't—seeding just improves efficiency. Myth: It causes droughts. → False. There's no evidence linking seeding to large-scale climate effects. Myth: It's some secret government program. → Also false. It's publicly funded and reported in local communities. Why Turo Made Me Ditch the Traditional Rental Car Hassle Let's be honest—traditional rental car agencies feel like mini DMVs. You land after a long flight, stand in line for 45 minutes, only to find out they “ran out of mid-size cars.” Sound familiar? Transparent Pricing, No Games No counter. No clipboard. No upcharges for floor mats. Turo.com Unlike big agencies, there were no surprise fuel policies, upgrade pitches, or fees for returning early. I chose the exact car I wanted, paid upfront, and had the option for full insurance through the app. Stress-free and cheaper. **REMEMBER: ALWAYS check with your own Auto Insurance Policy Agent as to what your coverage is when it comes to renting ANY vehicles. In my most recent Turo.com rental experience, the All-Star Host delivered said vehicle On-Time and made Drop-Off super easy!! The vehicle owner even gave our party a free ride to the airport that saves us another $20+ Uber ride! My Review on Turo.com: Rebecca W. • August 7, 2025 Awesome!! Clean, on-time. Dropped off the car off with easy meet up directions at the casino we were staying. AND then met us at the end of our rental, offering to drive us to the airport!!! Will absolutely rent from again! AC/DC Blasts Away Wolf Attacks on U.S. Cattle Ranches & Farms In an unexpected twist, American cattle ranchers and farmers are using music from rock legends AC/DC to protect their herds from gray wolf attacks. Since the reintroduction of gray wolves in 1995, their populations have thrived, but their return has also led to a rise in cattle deaths across several states. To combat this, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been using drones equipped with speakers to play AC/DC hits like “Thunderstruck” and “Blue on Black,” alongside movie clips to drive wolves away from livestock. The drones are fitted with heat-seeking cameras to track wolves at night, and the loud sounds effectively disperse the predators. The technique has proven successful, reducing attacks in areas like southwestern Oregon, where wolf attacks dropped from nearly one every other night to less than one a month. Despite these efforts, however, wolf attacks on livestock continue, with dozens of cattle killed in states like California, Washington, and Colorado like we just mentioned. In California, 27 calves were killed in just two months earlier this year, costing ranchers millions of dollars in lost livestock and state reimbursements. Livestock producers are increasingly concerned that their livelihoods are under threat, especially as federal protections for wolves remain in place, limiting the ability to control their numbers. As a result, some lawmakers are pushing to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list, giving states more authority to manage wolf populations and protect agriculture. With the stakes higher than ever, farmers and ranchers are calling for real solutions that protect their herds and their way of life. After all, protecting livestock is not just about economics—it's about ensuring the survival of a centuries-old way of life that feeds and sustains communities across the nation. Reference: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/hells-bells-america-cattle-farms-183321858.html Colorado Plans to Kill Additional Wolf After Cattle Deaths We've been following stories of how landowners and livestock producers are being impacted by the ever increasing wolf pack relocations and reintroductions  in some areas of the country.  According to CPR News, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is set to kill at least one more wolf from the Copper Creek Pack in Pitkin County after a calf was killed by the pack near Aspen in July. This follows a string of attacks on livestock, including eight confirmed kills in the area since the pack's relocation last winter. Wildlife officials confirmed the calf's death as a wolf kill on July 18, noting evidence that wolves had injured the animal before it died. Despite several attempts to locate the wolves, CPW staff have faced challenges due to difficult terrain. The decision to kill another wolf is part of ongoing efforts to manage the Copper Creek Pack, which was reintroduced into Colorado in late 2023. This pack has been problematic, causing continued damage to local ranchers despite the agency's attempts to manage them, including removing a young male wolf in May. Ranchers like Tom Harrington say the only solution may be relocating or lethally removing the entire pack.

On Episode 41 of Mindful Warrior Radio, we welcome Dr. Lisa Firestone — Clinical Psychologist, Director of Research and Education at the Glendon Association, and Senior Editor at PsychAlive.org. Dr. Firestone is the coauthor of numerous articles and book chapters and has written several books with her father, Robert Firestone, including The Self Under Siege, Conquer Your Critical Inner Voice, Creating a Life of Meaning and Compassion, and Sex and Love in Intimate Relationships. Her extensive clinical training and research in the areas of suicide and violence have led to the development of several widely used assessments, including the Firestone Assessment of Self-Destructive Thoughts (FAST), the Firestone Assessment of Suicide Intent (FASI), and the Firestone Assessment of Violent Thoughts (FAVT), applied with both adults and adolescents. In this insightful conversation, Dr. Firestone explores how reframing our relationship with stress can transform our quality of life, presence, and performance. If you've ever wanted to transform the way you think about stress—and learn how to make it work for you instead of against you—this episode is a must-listen. She explains that “we're all going to experience stress in our lives, but when we shift our mindset about it, our entire experience changes. Stress isn't just one thing—it's how we perceive it. If we see it as exciting and challenging, our bodies respond very differently than if we see it as overwhelming or life-threatening.” Dr. Firestone challenges the common misconception that mindset work is simply about “thinking positively.” She notes that “mindset isn't about tricking ourselves into thinking positively—it's about changing how our nervous system responds. If you interpret a situation as dangerous, your body goes into fight-or-flight or even shutdown mode. But if you see it as a challenge, you can overcome it. It can be motivating, energizing, and even improve your performance.” One of her favorite techniques for reframing stress is surprisingly simple. “Replacing the word ‘stress' with ‘challenge' can be powerful. A challenge is something you can choose to take on, approach with curiosity, and even decide to walk away from. That simple reframe reminds us that we have agency, and that we can choose how we respond.” She also shares practical wisdom for building resilience over time. “We can train ourselves to respond differently to stress. That means growing our ability to handle it with self-compassion, preparing where we can, and letting go of what we can't control. The more flexible and adaptable we are, the more we expand our boundaries—and the better we perform in all areas of life.” You can learn more about Dr. Lisa Firestone's work at www.drlisafirestone.com, www.psychalive.org, and www.glendon.org.
