Cholesterol Beyond the Basics: ApoB, Lp(a), Stress, and Aged Garlic Extract for Cardiovascular Risk: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews clinical pharmacist and nutritionist Jim LaValle about cardiovascular risk factors beyond total cholesterol, emphasizing that blood tests measure lipoprotein particles and subfractions rather than cholesterol itself. They discuss limitations of relying on surrogate markers, the role of lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep, stress, glucose control), and advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), oxidized LDL, and Lp-PLA2, noting that lowering Lp(a) or improving markers doesn't always improve outcomes. LaValle highlights ApoB as a key risk barometer, reviews evidence for aged garlic extract lowering ApoB, slowing coronary artery calcification, regressing vulnerable plaque, and improving vascular function, and supports combining supplements with appropriate medications. They address lean-mass hyper-responders on ketogenic diets, debate broad statin use in seniors, and cover stress/cortisol dysregulation, hormone effects, and appropriate use of GLP-1 drugs for weight and metabolic risk.
What if you aren't broken and don't need to be “fixed”? In Fishing Without Bait Episode 533, host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Melissa Carey for Part 1 of a four-part conversation about mindfulness, anxiety, self-awareness, and reconnecting with ourselves. Melissa begins with a powerful reflection on learning to love who she is today. From there, she and Jim explore her belief that we are already whole, even when layers of experience, relationships, expectations, and our own self-talk make that wholeness difficult to recognize. Melissa discusses the anxiety and life transitions that often bring people looking for support and explains why listening is at the heart of her approach. Drawing from her background in music therapy and her work with sound, meditation, breathwork, and energy practices, she shares one deceptively simple starting point: notice your breath. Jim and Melissa also discuss mindfulness during both difficult and positive moments, learning from obstacles, practicing coping tools before a crisis arrives, and why sometimes the most helpful next step is simply encouraging someone to seek an impartial ear through counseling or therapy. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Melissa Carey.

Hohe Leistung ist nicht das Problem. Dauerhafte Überlastung schon! Gerade engagierte Personen merken oft spät, dass ihre Belastung zu hoch geworden ist. Sie funktionieren weiter, sagen noch einmal Ja und verschieben Erholung auf später. Genau dieses „später" wird jedoch schnell zur Gewohnheit. Rainer Köpf berichtet, wie es ist, wenn man in der Öffentlichkeit steht. Nicht umsonst hieße sein Beruf „ständiger Pfarrer". Ständig wird man angesprochen: auf der Straße, beim Einkaufen, auf Jahresfeiern. Das gehöre zum Beruf und ist auch gut so. Dennoch zehrt es mit der Zeit an einem. „Ich habe auf allen Ebenen gearbeitet. Alle Angebote fanden Resonanz. Weihnachtsmarkt, Zeltwoche, Musicals, … das ganze Dorf hat mitgemacht und Hunderte sind gekommen – zum Glauben gekommen. Aber ich war völlig am Ende." Jeder Tag lag vor ihm wie ein Himalaya-Gebirge. „Das war furchtbar." Die Ärztin stellte schnell fest: Das ist ein Burnout. Da hilft nur noch die Reißleine ziehen! Ich durfte ihn mit meinem Reise-Set-Up (daher nicht ganz die gewohnte Qualität) in seinem Dekanat in Backnang besuchen und Fragen stellen sowie lernen. Wie Dekan Köpf aus seinem Burnout rausgekommen ist und was er seitdem im Leben anders macht (aber dennoch äußerst engagiert ist), das verrät er uns in der heutigen Episode. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

What should you do when your child is overwhelmed, melting down, refusing to cooperate, or acting like they cannot handle something you know they can do?In part two of this conversation, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge explains how parents can help kids build a more regulated nervous system before, during, and after stressful moments. She shares why parents should regulate first, connect second, and correct only after a child is calm enough to think and learn. Here's part one if you missed it. You'll also learn why constantly rescuing kids from discomfort can prevent them from building stress tolerance, how to support a child without immediately fixing the problem, and why small daily regulation practices can make a big difference over time.Dr. Roseann shares a simple 4-7-8 breathing practice parents can use throughout the day to lower stress and build greater nervous system capacity!

Über 350.000 YouTube-Abonnenten, ein Leben auf Zypern und ein Business, das stark von Social Media lebt – doch wie baut man sich so etwas eigentlich auf? In dieser Folge spricht Jörg mit Dominik Lebersorger über die Veränderungen auf YouTube, guten Content und die Frage, warum heute auch kleine Kanäle große Reichweiten erzielen können. Dominik erzählt, warum Substanz für ihn wichtiger ist als schneller Trash-Content und weshalb er seine Community bewusst anders aufbaut. Außerdem sprechen die beiden über KI und die Angst, dass klassische Wissensarbeit zunehmend ersetzbar wird, über Self-Improvement, Auswandern nach Zypern und die Gefahr, sich mit zu viel Wissen selbst auszubremsen. Dominiks wichtigster Rat: Weniger overthinken, anfangen und die Probleme lösen, wenn sie wirklich da sind.

Welcome back to Season Seven of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast! This week, host Elizabeth Cush talks about her new certification in the B3™ Body-Based Breakthrough™ Process, how it can help highly sensitive women, and offers sample grounding exercise. “My mission is to bring you more practices for settling the nervous system, for helping you feel more aligned and attuned with your beautiful, sensitive body.” — Biz CushWelcome back, to the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast! And just “welcome” to anyone who is listening for the first time! Did you have a relaxing summer? Or did you overdo it, pushing and pushing through everything—stress, pain, fatigue? Because that's your pattern? As highly sensitive women, we've learned to bypass how we're feeling because we've been told our feelings, sensations, and behaviors were too much. Fortunately, there are ways to come back into balance. In this season's opening episode, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a certified somatic coach for sensitive women, discusses her new certification in the B3™ Body-Based Breakthrough™ Process, which uses journaling, breath work, and gentle movement to access body wisdom and rewire your nervous system, and she offers a practical grounding exercise that you can use to help you connect with your body and your emotions.You can find the full show notes and resources for every episode here.Support the showI hope you enjoyed the show!You can also follow me here:InstagramYouTubeFacebook
High blood pressure often develops without symptoms, earning its reputation as a "silent" health condition. Low blood pressure can also create problems, leading to dizziness, falls, and other complications. How do you know when either should be a concern? In this episode of the Health and Wellness podcast, Dr. Nayan Desai, an interventional cardiologist with Sanford Health, talks about high blood pressure (hypertension) and low blood pressure (hypotension). Topics discussed include what your blood pressure numbers mean, common risk factors, warning signs, lifestyle changes, medication management, sleep apnea, pregnancy-related blood pressure concerns and when to seek emergency medical care.

Was passiert eigentlich in unserem Körper, wenn wir unter Druck geraten – vor einer wichtigen Präsentation, in einer Krisensituation oder kurz vor dem entscheidenden Wettkampfmoment? Die Antwort liegt in einem oft unterschätzten System: dem autonomen Nervensystem. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Thomas Landsberg, Gründer von QiFlow-Consulting und Coach für Resilienz, Stressmanagement und Leadership, darüber, wie das autonome Nervensystem funktioniert, warum es über unsere Leistungsfähigkeit mitentscheidet – und wie wir lernen können, es gezielt zu regulieren. Mit der HeartMath®-Methode macht Thomas mittels Echtzeit-Biofeedback sichtbar, was im Körper unter Stress wirklich passiert. Sein Ansatz verbindet moderne, wissenschaftlich fundierte Methoden mit Impulsen aus Qi Gong und Achtsamkeitspraxis. Wir sprechen über die Grundlagen von Sympathikus und Parasympathikus, das Konzept der Herzkohärenz, die Aussagekraft der Herzratenvariabilität (HRV) – und ganz praktisch darüber, wie sich Nervosität in Drucksituationen und im Sport steuern lässt.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about cozy cardio, the viral trend of trading intense workouts for pajama-clad walks, candlelit stretching, and low-key movement paired with your favorite show or drink. It sounds too easy to work, so does swapping intensity for comfort really move the needle on your health, or is it just a trendy excuse to skip the hard stuff? Jenn breaks down the biochemistry behind why gentler movement might do more for your cortisol, consistency, and long-term results than you'd expect. Still, she also flags a few situations where leaning on cozy cardio alone could work against you. Is this the missing piece your routine has been needing, or a trend best kept in moderation? Jenn shares her honest take. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?

What if your struggle to stay consistent with healthy habits isn't because you need more discipline?In today's episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, I'm talking with Courtney Townley, author of The Consistency Code and host of the Grace & Grit podcast, about what it really takes to create deep, sustainable health as a busy woman.Courtney challenges the idea that health is simply about eating well, exercising, or looking a certain way. Instead, she encourages women to expand their definition of health and develop the self-leadership skills that help them navigate changing seasons, competing priorities, and real life.We talk about why boundaries are an essential part of your health, how mom guilt can make it difficult to protect your time and energy, and why what looks like “self-sabotage” may actually be a capacity problem.Courtney also shares the four powerful practices behind The Consistency Code: awareness, organization, follow-through, and realignment—and why learning how to realign may be far more important than trying to get everything right in the first place.In this episode, you'll discover:Why health is so much bigger than diet and exerciseWhat “deep health” really meansWhy boundaries are an act of care for yourself and your relationshipsHow your capacity affects your ability to follow throughWhy Courtney doesn't believe most women are actually self-sabotagingHow to recognize when you're becoming misalignedWhy consistency isn't about never getting off track—it's about knowing how to come backOne question that can completely change the way you approach your health in this season of lifeIf you've ever wondered, “Why can't I just be more consistent?” this conversation will help you look at that question in an entirely new way.Because health isn't a destination you finally reach. It's a direction—and you're always one decision away from realigning.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

Du hast eine neue Idee, siehst eine Chance – und plötzlich erklärt dir dein Umfeld, warum sie nicht funktionieren kann. In dieser Folge spricht Jörg darüber, warum wir uns bei wichtigen Entscheidungen viel zu oft Rat von Menschen holen, die selbst nie den Weg gegangen sind, den wir einschlagen wollen. Statt über die eigentliche Chance zu sprechen, entstehen Gegenargumente, Zweifel und Rechtfertigungen, die mit dem ursprünglichen Thema häufig kaum noch etwas zu tun haben. Jörg erklärt, warum es keine wirklich neutrale Meinung gibt, was er unter „Ghost-Argumenten“ versteht und weshalb du bei deinen Zielen lieber mit Menschen sprechen solltest, die bereits dort sind, wo du hinwillst.

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and author Brent Freeman to unpack what happens when external success stops feeling like success. After building billion-dollar growth machines, Brent found himself burned out, disconnected, and asking a much bigger question: What if the life I'm building isn't actually the life I want? Brent shares how a “one-degree drift” away from yourself can quietly turn into burnout and how he began rebuilding his life around joy, presence, and intentionality. From canceling every meeting to watch a sunset to creating a daily “list of joy,” Brent explains the neuroscience, nervous system practices, and emotional alchemy tools behind his new book, The Alchemy of Joy. Whether you're navigating burnout, chasing your next achievement, or simply want to feel more present in your own life, this conversation is a reminder that joy is something you can invest in right now. Inside This Episode: When Success Stops Feeling Successful: Brent opens up about the hollow feeling that came after building massive businesses and achieving the external markers of success he once thought would create fulfillment.

What if some of the most powerful tools for improving mental health are already in your kitchen? In this episode of The DNA Talks, Dr. Tracey Stead, sits down with Dr. Uma Naidoo, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, professional chef, nutritional biologist, and pioneer in the field of nutritional psychiatry. Together, we explore the powerful connection between food, mood, anxiety, inflammation, metabolism, and the gut-brain axis, and discuss practical ways to support mental health through everyday dietary choices.Dr. Uma Naidoo shares the patient encounter that transformed her approach to mental health care. A conversation about a daily coffee loaded with sugar and creamer revealed how empowering patients with nutrition knowledge can create meaningful behavioral change and improve treatment outcomes.Following the success of This Is Your Brain on Food, Dr. Uma explains why she devoted an entire book to anxiety. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she witnessed a dramatic surge in anxiety symptoms among patients and saw firsthand how lifestyle changes, isolation, and altered eating habits affected mental health.If you wish to learn more from Dr. Uma Naidoo, you can do so through the following links:Instagram:@drumanaidoo (https://www.instagram.com/drumanaidoo/) YouTube: Dr. Uma Naidoo MD (https://www.youtube.com/@DrUmaNaidoo)Official Website: https://umanaidoomd.com______________________________________________________Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

Week 3 — Before Your Body Shouts: Learn to Hear the WhispersWhat if your body isn't fighting against you? What if it's trying to protect you?Tight shoulders. A clenched jaw. Holding your breath. A body that seems unable to relax.We can easily become frustrated with these sensations and wonder, “Why won't my body just let go?”But what happens when we ask a different question?“What might my body be trying to protect?”In Week 3 of Somatic in September, Heidi Hadley introduces us to one of Australia's most ancient and misunderstood animals — the crocodile — to explore the remarkable protective intelligence of the human nervous system.Crocodiles have survived for millions of years because their systems are exceptionally good at one thing: survival.Your nervous system also has protection at its core.Moment by moment, it receives sensory information and responds to what is happening within and around you. When your system perceives a need for protection, that response can sometimes be experienced as muscular tension, bracing, restricted breathing or a feeling of being unable to completely let go.Rather than immediately treating those responses as something that needs to be fought or forced away, Somatic Movement invites us to become curious about them.Because your body may not be the enemy.It may be doing the best it can with the information it currently has.And when we begin providing new sensory information and movement possibilities, we can start developing a very different relationship with our body.

What happens when you're trained to tell everyone else's story but never given the space to process what those stories are doing to you?Before becoming the CEO of Healium, Sarah Hill spent years working in television news. She covered homicides, domestic violence, grieving parents, court cases and some of the worst days of people's lives. Like many journalists, there wasn't always an opportunity to stop and process what she had witnessed before moving on to the next story. Eventually, Sarah realized those experiences had accumulated.On this episode of Groove with Portia, Sarah and I have a conversation that hits close to home for both of us as former television journalists. We talk about the stories journalists carry long after the cameras turn off, career transitions, resilience and why our paths don't always have to be linear.We also explore the technology Sarah went on to build. Healium uses virtual reality with biofeedback and neurofeedback to allow users to visualize changes in things like heart rate and brain patterns while experiencing immersive environments. Sarah describes it as “media as medicine”—using storytelling and immersive media as tools for self-awareness and self-regulation.But one of the most important parts of our conversation is what Healium isn't. Sarah emphasizes that the technology is not a diagnostic tool and isn't intended to replace medication or professional counseling. Instead, she sees it as another tool that can work alongside human care.Because no matter how sophisticated our technology becomes, sometimes what a person needs most is another human being willing to see them.And perhaps Sarah's biggest reminder is that finding your groove doesn't require following a straight path. Sometimes the unexpected turns give us exactly what we need for whatever we're meant to build next.Connect with Sarah Hill and learn more about Healium:https://tryhealium.com/

Exercise, Recovery, Relaxation—and Muscle as the Key to Healthy Aging: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses science-backed wellness trends that pair exercise with effective recovery and deliberate relaxation to support performance, resilience, and healthy aging, noting benefits such as fewer overuse injuries, better sleep, steadier energy, and improved adherence. She highlights relaxation practices (breathwork, meditation, gentle yoga, outdoor time, massage, consistent sleep routines) and encourages making recovery part of daily life, including creating home or community “wellness spaces” like pools for gentle movement and stress reduction. She emphasizes sustainable habits supported by tools like wearables and heart-rate variability tracking. The episode then frames muscle as a “longevity secret weapon,” explaining its roles in metabolism, glucose storage, insulin sensitivity, inflammation control, and joint stability, citing the PURE study on grip strength and mortality, warning about sarcopenia, and recommending strength training, higher and well-distributed protein intake with age due to anabolic resistance, plus adequate sleep and recovery.
Dr. Andrew Holman is a rheumatologist and the CEO of Seattle-based Inmedix, which recently received FDA clearance for the first cloud-based heart rate variability (HRV) diagnostic platform. Dr. Holman shares how a “detective” mindset led him from early interests in orthopedics and cardiology into rheumatology, fibromyalgia research, and ultimately entrepreneurship. He explains how chronic stress, the autonomic nervous system, and conditions like sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome can influence cardiovascular risk and autoimmune disease outcomes, and why measuring stress biology with medical-grade precision matters. Dr. Holman also offers hard-earned advice for physician-innovators, reflects on pivotal study results, and shares what he hopes to be remembered for: never dismissing patients in distress.

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm delighted to be welcoming as my guest Dr. Andrew Holman. Dr. Holman is a rheumatologist and the CEO of Inmedix, a Seattle-based medical diagnostics company that recently received FDA clearance for the first cloud-based heart rate variability diagnostic platform. He has 25 years of clinical experience with 16 peer-reviewed papers and clinical trials demonstrating that measuring stress biology with medical grade precision can improve success rates in autoimmune diseases. All right. Andrew, welcome to the show. I'm so glad you're here today. [00:01:30] Andrew Holman: Yes, happy to be here. Thank you for inviting me. [00:01:33] Lindsey Dinneen: Course, of course. Well, I would love, if you wouldn't mind starting out telling us a little bit about who you are, what your background is, and what led you to medtech. [00:01:44] Andrew Holman: Sure. Well, I'm a, a guy from Seattle, Washington. Grew up here, but trained everywhere else, became a rheumatologist. We study autoimmune diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis. I also was very interested in fibromyalgia and pain. We're the immunologists of medicine. So, I started my practice, golly, a while ago. 1992, I finished my prac- my training, and I was the main rheumatologist at a large suburban hospital at the southern end of Seattle. So hometown, circle back to the hometown. I went into rheumatology because you have many choices when you do internal medicine. You can go be a specialist in many things. But I like the puzzles. The immunology has grown and it's a, it's a particularly sort of detective-oriented specialty. So, I didn't set out to be an entrepreneur. That came 25 years later. I was an in-the-trenches doc trying to help the person in front of me with these devastating diseases that are crippling diseases, usually of young women mostly. [00:02:45] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay, and I'm sure there's, there's much more we're gonna dive into, but one thing that really stood out really fast was you, you kind of called yourself a detective, which I really love that term. And so I'm curious, is that something that you always thought you wanted to specialize in, in medicine, or was this, you know, detectiving to come later? Was this something that, you know, you ended up learning more about while in med school and thought, "Oh, this sounds really cool. I could put really two interesting passions together"? [00:03:19] Andrew Holman: Yeah, it was-- you know, things just sort of come into play sometime. For those who are not in medicine, they may not realize it takes about ten years to go to college, med school, re- internship, residency, fellowship, you know, and then you, then you finally get to go be a doctor, and you have to go learn how to be a doctor s- a little more. The patients teach you a lot more than people realize. So I was gonna be an orthopedist. I liked orthopedics. I liked architecture, bones, joints. I thought it was a lot of fun. I just had very little aptitude for what they do. I, I don't-- I, I'm not very g- a good carpenter. I just, you know, I didn't-- just wasn't gonna be a great orthopedist. So then I thought, "I really love cardiology." Rhythm disturbances, all kinds of things. In the 1980s, when I was in medical school , all the new stents and procedures and non- less invasive things than bypass surgery were all coming up. Joint valve replacement. You know, it's really exciting. But I never... and I never took a, a f- a course in rheumatology until I was actually an intern in internal medicine program in Denver, all set to be a cardiologist. And there were 12 of us in the, in the program per year, and s- five of us became rheumatologists because of this one doctor who took us out, a guy named Daryl McCarter. Prob- maybe people who know him, he's retired recently. He would bring us in the office, and we'd see every other patient with him because in between the patients, he would give us an X-ray, say, "I want you to look at this. There's a clue here. See if you can find it." Or, "I want you to look at this pathology slide," or something. "There's a secret, you know, to figure this one out." And I go, "Wow, this is really fun stuff." And once you figured it out, we weren't as good at treating it yet, but we were getting better. We were getting better. So it was the cutting edge and very fertile ground for discovery. So, rheumatologists are called the consult of last resort for a reason. There aren't very many of us. You've usually seen everybody else first, and by the time they-- you see us, we're pretty good at figuring out the rare diseases that are not in other people's board exam. But we're also pretty good at figuring out the common disease that presents in a very strange way, you know? And, and that's what our strength is. So we may... Everybody who sees us who gets diagnosed may not have a rheumatology answer, but we try to get them an answer. And now we're really in the golden age of rheumatology in the last 20 years of really making a difference for so many people. The downside, we don't make a difference for enough people, you know? We, we... That's the problem. So we've got these very motivated doctors out there, eager, and we just need, you know, more. And that's why I became an entrepreneur, because I learned more neurology than I was supposed to know and more sleep physiology than I was supposed to know. You just follow the breadcrumbs, you know? [00:06:17] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay, so I know you didn't start out wanting to, or maybe even being interested in being an entrepreneur, but that is the path that you chose, and I would love to hear about that, the company, and what you're all doing. And then also would love to hear about your journey into deciding that this is the next right step for me. [00:06:38] Andrew Holman: Yeah. Well, thanks for asking it. It is a little unusual. So I was actually studying and trying to help patients with fibromyalgia about 30 years ago. And fibromyalgia patients terribly dismissed till they're all making this up. There's not 10 million people that can make anything up and be consistent. I mean, they all say the same thing. So I thought that was nonsense, and I was really thrown into the crowd of, you know, "You're, you're crazy too." And I go, "Well, I'm board certified in crazy." So I w- I was interested in it, and I was irritated that these people were dismissed. And I was around other doctors in Seattle who were similarly that way, which was very, very unusual. It's unusual to find people in the '90s who had an avid interest in that disorder. And so I started doing what rheumatologists are good at, incrementally advancing ideas and therapeutics very carefully, very cautiously. We do a lot of things off-label. When I was-- finished my fellowship in 1992, half the diseases on our board exam had no FDA-approved treatment. We had to do something, right? You couldn't just say, "Well, come back when there's a couple of articles in the New England Journal of Medicine." You, you can't do that, right? People are depending on you. So rheumatologists are particularly good at that, and that's not something most doctors want to do. Most doctors find that very uncomfortable. They're very, very careful people. And, and rheumatologists are careful too, but we take this mission seriously that we need to do something for you. So basically, I was looking at off-label ideas and work on fibromyalgia, and I'll share this with your audience. I was actually pulled up-- pulled in by some senior doctors who said, "We wanna talk with you." And I'd been there about three years as a new doctor. Oh, you know, seem to be doing a good job. Maybe they wanna pat me on the back or something. No, not that. It was actually an intervention, which I had never... I mean, I had no familiarity with what an intervention was. And they said, "Look, we like you. You're a great doc, but you're gonna ruin your reputation if you believe all these people, mostly women And you really need to not take it so seriously or write prescriptions for this c-- this and that." I said, "Well, thank you very much." That's polite. That's not what I was thinking. And I, I... But it prompted me to pull all the charts and say, "You know, I think I'm making some progress here with some ideas here, and let me see if I'm getting fooled and just seeing the people who get better to come back. Let me really honestly look at my performance." And so I pulled about 200 charts. It was my first abstract at the national meeting. And you know what? We were making progress. That had morphed into more progress, following the breadcrumbs, looking at neurology, looking at the autonomic nervous system. So that was about a five-year process. Y-you know, I didn't lose my reputation, obviously. I lecture around the world now. But it led to being very careful about getting clinical evidence if I had a hypothesis. And so we were using the office, and we actually finally did a double-blind prospective study where I bought all the drug myself, had it reformulated, little capsules that, you know, and, and worked with the FDA to get permission to do the study. And that study in fibromyalgia to this day has the highest response rate of any fibromyalgia study for pain that's ever been done. Now, we don't use that treatment anymore. It's 20 years later, we have other things to do. But it did prompt Pharmacia, got bought by Pfizer, I believe, and Boehringer Ingelheim, which co-marketed the drug I was using and reporting on, to pay me $10 million for the patents that I had filed, utility patents. I didn't own the drug. I didn't use it for Parkinson's disease, but I thought there was use in fibromyalgia. So before I told the world, I filed utility patents, and they wanted to exploit that discovery. So did two other pharmaceutical companies, and they had to pay for the privilege of doing it. So at 46, I retired. So I didn't intend to do that, but I do come from a family of lawyers and judges, and so the idea of having a utility patent on a n- a new innovative idea was not a foreign concept to me. [00:10:40] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:10:41] Andrew Holman: That is something I teach all young doctors. [00:10:46] Lindsey Dinneen: That is awesome, and I, I was thinking, okay, this is a great segue because first of all, that's an incredible story. Secondly, I, I would be very curious to know exactly that, what is your advice for some of these incredible physicians, great ideas, that are potentially going to end up becoming an entrepreneur just because that's the path that, that is sort of presented to them? What is some of your advice for that? 'Cause that can't just be... you, you had the privilege at least of, of, of knowing and having some background in that, the legal aspects of IP protection and whatnot, but what are some of the things that you tell people? [00:11:22] Andrew Holman: Well, a couple things I would say and I have these conversations often 'cause I really like the younger people coming along. I say, first of all, don't define yourself as an ent- as being an entrepreneur. Make sure you have other things in your life that are more important to you. Now, the investors are not gonna like to hear that. They, they want you to live and die on your, on your company, right? But I'm saying, you know, you don't have to tell the VCs, but have other things that matter more in your life. You still gotta work really hard because you may, you may find that it's really a slog, and it's very long, and it's very hard. But, you know, make sure that, that, that what you-- though is important, your family, you know, your integrity the scientific problem at hand, the patients, you know, they're number one. Make sure we don't lose sight of all that, and do a few things. Go for a walk. Do something for yourself. Something. I do this twenty-four seven for the last 10 years, you know, every day 'cause I love doing it. It does wear you out, though. Even if you make-- even if you're successful with milestones, it does wear you out. But that's what I tell them. I say, "You know, make sure that you take care of yourself a little bit, too." It's kinda like a analogy. What do you do for a pregnant woman who has a, who has a, a lupus? Lupus is terribly dangerous for the fetus and for the mom. Though the worst thing you do to-- for the baby is not take care of the mom. Take care of mom, [00:12:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. [00:12:45] Andrew Holman: then get the baby delivered. So, you know, everybody's talking about the baby, but take care of mom. That's the most important thing you do for that baby. So that's kinda what I would say. [00:12:54] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, that's great. I appreciate that. Yeah, that, that makes a lot of sense too. We've been talking, actually it's been a, a bit of a theme too lately in some of the conversations that I've been having with folks, especially leaders, to talk about that identity component and, and be aware that your job isn't the only thing that defines you or needs to. There's a lot more to your life. There's a lot more to who you are. And so also, you know, our identities change over time and how you refer to yourself and th- those are, those are good things. That's growth, that's movement. So, being comfortable with who you are outside of your career. Yeah. [00:13:33] Andrew Holman: The other thing too is, you know, people used to joke 20 years ago that participation mem- medals were like a farce and what. That's the l- that's the last thing I would say to anybody. Give yourself a pat on the back for going out there trying to attack the castle, you know. Give yourself some credit there because a lot of people just wouldn't do it. My middle daughter was a hundred-meter hurdler at Boise State. She's a Division I athlete. There's a lot of sprinters out there that don't wanna get anywhere near that hurdle 'cause it really hurts when you hit it, right? And so half of that was not-- was being brave. So be brave, be brave, you know. My other daughter was a Division I athlete at Rice. She was a h- she was a volleyball player. Yeah. So, yeah. So I, I, I, I watch other people, see how they persevere and, you know, okay, gotta pick yourself up. Gotta go. Gotta get up this morning. Gotta go. [00:14:23] Lindsey Dinneen: That's right. That-- Yeah. [00:14:25] Andrew Holman: Then remember, people are depending on you, not just your investors. I take that so seriously. But the s- the people who have decided that they're gonna hook their wagon to you. [00:14:34] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:14:35] Andrew Holman: You know, that's a lot of responsibility. [00:14:37] Lindsey Dinneen: It is. Yeah. [00:14:38] Andrew Holman: Give yourself a little credit that you're stepping up. [00:14:41] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. Great advice. Yeah. Okay, so all right. So let's talk about your company now. So now you're an entrepreneur, in addition to obviously the rest of who, what makes you, you. But and I know that you're also a clinical professor, and I would love to hear about both of those things if you don't mind sharing. [00:14:59] Andrew Holman: Yeah, sure. So, technically I'm an associate clinical professor at the University of Washington. A, a lot of private docs do, and they participate in helping teach the y-young residents and fellows and so forth. So it's a joy to me. I, I think my job is a job of teaching. I'm constantly talk... I'm not-- I don't see patients anymore, although I do maintain my license in malpractice 'cause I get, I get contacted for the fibromyalgia work I did. So it's, my email's on the papers, right? So I, I don't wanna let that go. People need help. But basically, we're constantly teaching patients, you know. Now, we're listening, hopefully do better and better at that, but then I have to make a case. You know, I'd, the-- I'd like you to try this or that. Why do I wanna do that and so forth. We're constantly, you know... We don't-- It, it sounds too trite to call it selling something. We're not doing that. We're in there with you. We're collaborating. But I have to be, I have to have a reason and be persuasive and all that, so that, that academic teaching part's kind of fun. Now, sometimes I go into the lion's den. I will tell you, it's a little nerve-wracking to give rheumatology grand rounds at Harvard. Yeah, yeah, okay. You know, and the University of Washington, they're a little friendlier. It's my hometown. But Guy's Hospital in London and the Hospital for Special Surgeries, I... My first rheumatology grand rounds came at the HSS in 2009. I get there, I completely bomb. All these famous people are in the front row. I'm... They're, they're just not buying any of this thing we call immunoautonomics and how stress affects the immune system. I'm quoting the NIH. I'm doing everything I... I know how to do it, right? Pathology slides, I'm there. Then I find out the way they pick the speakers is the fellows get to find something interesting, and they pick the speakers, not the not the high mucky-mucks. So the only reason I was there is because the fellows, the young folks, thought, "This is an interesting topic. We'd like to hear more." And it turns out they were 15 years ahead of the rest of the world, because this is the most fascinating topic of how the immune system affects the autonomic nervous system affects the immune system, so it inflames it. [00:17:03] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Oh my gosh. Actually, that is one thing I wanted to talk about, 'cause I, I noticed on your LinkedIn profile there was, you know, a reference to how much stress affects cardiovascular health maybe particularly chronic stress. And I would just love to hear more about that and, and maybe some ways... I know there's like, y- of course you always get your standard, "Here are some things that you could do to lower your stress." But, but from your perspective as a physician who's studied this, I'd love to hear more from you about, okay, how does this affect health, especially cardiovascular health, and then really what are some practical things that we can do? [00:17:39] Andrew Holman: Yeah, let me see what I can do. Now I wish I could fast-forward because we will have some magnificent things in the next five to 10 years based on what's being discovered now. But the bottom line is, stress and pain are awful things, but they have a purpose in the near term. So pain is good because it'll keep you from putting your hand back in the fire, right? Just don't do that again. But chronic pain is terrible and not productive. Stress is the same thing. You wanna get away from the lion. You, you, you need to perform. If your child needs you, whatever, you, you need to perform on it instant. But chronic stress is not productive. The problem with the stress response is it's controlled in the brain by the autonomic nervous system, which is called the ANS, and it's divided into two components, the sympathetic fight or flight, which we all know what that feels like. You know, ooh, scary. And the other is the parasympathetic, which is getting more talk now, which is the opposite, which is related to rest, restorative, sleep, recovery, growth hormone, all these things. And both of these systems are on simultaneously all the time, but they jockey for predominance depending on what the demands are around you, right? So turns out the sympathetic part has a significant negative impact on cardiovascular health, as you might expect, right? If you're driving your car at five thousand RPMs-- now, nobody has a stick shift anymore-- but if you're driving at five thousand RPMs, you're gonna wear down your engine, even if you go at the same speed as someone who has a two thousand RPMs, right? It, it's, it's what's going on inside the hood there is really important. So stress responses chronically do have measurable, tangible, well-published effects on cardiovascular mortality in long prospective studies. So if we had a magic something, we would do something to lower that epinephrine adrenaline response. Unless, of course, you're in the military, where someone's-- you need every heightened, m-- you know, response that you can get to survive. But for the rest of us, it's better that that system does not ramp up and activate. And we all have a different propensity to how powerful it is and how much it turns on, and also how poorly it turns off. So the stress response, we think of it like epinephrine, adrenaline. That's the easiest way to do it. So what you'd wanna do is to make sure this magnificent part of your brain that is your-- does all your housekeeping functions, this autonomic nervous system, the command and control center that you just wanna work, you don't wanna think about it, is not on a turbocharged, right? And there are people I take care of that they were just born that way. A lot of them, by the way. So things like all the wellness opportunities you can think of are, are targeted just to simply calm the autonomic nervous system. Tai chi, meditation, diet, exercise, all these things have been around for thousands of years because of that. That's what they do. And the practitioners will share that with you. I mean, the there are monks that can lower their heart rate, you know, to like, you know, what would seem lethal to the rest of us, right? That's the parasympathetic drive that lowers heart rate, lowers blood pressure. So those wellness opportunities are real. It will be important that you can manage whether the-- what you're doing is working or not. [00:21:04] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. [00:21:04] Andrew Holman: Right? And that's where my company comes in. But the other is things like obstructive sleep apnea. You might think heavy guys... See, someone's gonna send me for a sleep study for sure, but they're not gonna send you. Big mistake, because it turns out that fifty-three percent of Japanese women with rheumatoid arthritis have unexpected obstructive sleep apnea. Oops. And, and we were just taught that we wouldn't even check those people. Well, turns out sleep apnea untreated is a major cardiovascular risk factor equal to cigarette smoking, according to the Sleep Heart Health Study in 2004. That's a big deal. And also, we learned in rheumatoid arthritis, getting back to my work, world, that patients with rheumatoid arthritis don't die from joint disease, they die from premature heart disease. They can also get cancers. So why is that? Well, there's been a lot of effort to try to figure that out in the last twenty-five years, and their risk factors for cardiovascular disease are not explained by the Framingham risk factor of hypertension, cholesterol, smoking, and all the things we, we look, see. But nobody looked at sleep apnea. [00:22:15] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. [00:22:17] Andrew Holman: The other reason it's so relevant, though, is sleep apnea is a potent sympathetic arousal. It, it-- You struggle to breathe, right? You kind of obstruct. And what part of your brain tells you to breathe? Your autonomic nervous system. Breathe, right? And it stimulates this adrenaline response over and over and over, and it pounds your heart over the years, and it can lead to sudden death and arrhythmias. So there's a, there's a link there. Never miss sleep apnea. The other one is we found in our office and published about restless leg syndrome. You know, people tap their toes in the airport or they kick the covers around at night. It's pretty benign for most people, but it looks like it very well might be a sympathetic arousal, and there may be relevance there. The therapies for that may have relevance to what we're talking about. Again, very off-label. We're not talking about FDA-approved here. But it-- You ask what can you do? The other one that's coming is vagus nerve stimulation. That is FDA-approved now for rheumatoid arthritis, and they're going to other opportunities to, again, to, to increase the parasympathetic and to lower the sympathetic, right? So that background activity doesn't harm you. The autonomic nervous system may be the primary reason that two patients respond differently to the same treatment. What you bring to the table. It's no different than if I have two people coming to me for a back problem. One is five foot three and one is seven foot three. The way their spine is designed makes it a whole lot harder to treat the seven-foot back, right? I'm not surprising anybody here. So there are things that the patients can bring to the table that matter. Here's the irony. Ninety-seven percent of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in a survey in England said that stress affected their disease activity. It's no surprise to them. And sixty-five percent said they thought it predated getting the disease, that it actually contributed to getting it in the first place. And now there's evidence to suggest that may be true. [00:24:17] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, boy. [00:24:19] Andrew Holman: So we can't miss sleep apnea just out there. We can't miss restless leg. We can't miss Ehlers-Danlos type three hypermobility type where people can... you can't see me here, but my fingers can bend backwards. But it's, it basically it's very, very common, and those people tend to have increased sympathetic activity naturally. [00:24:39] Lindsey Dinneen: Fascinating. [00:24:39] Andrew Holman: So yeah, so we're, we're waking up a little bit to some very important features here of individuals that may help us do better with the diseases they also come in. [00:24:50] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Wow. [00:24:52] Andrew Holman: Sorry, long answer. Sorry, but there's a lot. [00:24:54] Lindsey Dinneen: No, that's great. I appreciate it, and yeah, well, then there you go. Managing stress is critical to, to your health. It's not just a nice to have, like yeah, yeah, kind of thing. Okay. Whew. [00:25:07] Andrew Holman: Good learning. [00:25:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay, awesome. Yeah, so, I'm curious... Okay, so, so again, I like, I like looking at guests' LinkedIn profiles and, and learning more about, you know, what makes you tick outside of your career as well, and I noticed some very fun things that you have listed. So we've got creative writing, horsemanship, golf, and vintage passenger rail cars. I feel like this warrants... [00:25:33] Andrew Holman: Yeah, it's called... Yeah, the American Association of Private Railcar Owners. Yeah. I get ribbed a lot for that, but they're a great bunch. There are about --I don't know if I know all the numbers now, but about 75 to 80 vintage cars from the '20s, '30s, '40s, '50s, who tag on the back of Amtrak, and Amtrak drags them around, and you can actually go rent them, stay in them, whatever. And they have a a annual meeting where they just get on a private train, and they go on tracks that you wouldn't go on naturally, like private rails in the, you know, middle of nowhere. So that's what they like to do. And it's just a lot of fun, especially the dome cars. [00:26:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. That's so cool. [00:26:14] Andrew Holman: I've been a handful of times. I've got a lot of friends there. I don't own a car, but boy, I'd sure like to have one. [00:26:19] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay. That is so cool. And then how about horsemanship? How did you... Have you been riding horses your whole life, or how did that come about? [00:26:29] Andrew Holman: So I went to a high school called Thatcher School in Ojai, California, where there are 50 in a class, and there was a requirement, this is over 100 years old, this school, that you had to have a horse. And they would say s- that something about the "outside of a horse is good for the inside of a boy," right? I was the last all-male class in 1977. Now young women get to go there too. It's of note that I have 15 people from Thatcher investing as family and friends in, Inmedix. So, th-they that, that's pretty special. But it's a boarding school. I was there for four years. My dad had gone there, so I'd heard of it. But I got a tremendous education. Th-there aren't a lot of prep schools on the West Coast, but there are some. And, and that's where I learned how to ride a horse like riding a bicycle. My sister is a thoroughbred horse trainer for 40 years. She's retired. She had three or four or five horses, a har-- not the fancy kind of stuff at the Derby. But they, you know, get up at 4:00 a.m. and ride, you know, that kind of... Tough life, but she loved horses. So yeah, I, I'm as, I'm more comfortable on a horse than I am around anything, probably. [00:27:34] Lindsey Dinneen: That's so cool. Okay. Well, this has been really fun to, to get to hear your incredible life story so far, and I'm excited to see where the company continues to advance medical technology. So, you know, I really appreciate everything you're doing. But I do want to ask, is there a moment that stands out to you along your career path so far where you just thought, "Wow, I am in the right industry at the right time"? [00:28:02] Andrew Holman: Yeah, I'd, I'd say there probably was. When we unblinded the prospective double-blind study that we did looking at this five-minute next generation heart rate variability, this HRV we got through the FDA last year. When we unblinded the study, and although that's not part of the FDA clearance, it was a very important moment for me because it showed that it predicted a year in advance who would respond to treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with ninety percent sensitivity, ninety-five percent specificity. So I wanna emphasize that is not what it's cleared for. It's cleared as an HRV tool that doctors can use at their discretion. But that study is what you asked me to answer. And when you unlock a study and you see the results, two things happen. One is we were happy that I was on the right track. That was nice. You know, positive study. Your hypothesis is valid. But it completely changed the view of immunology, [00:28:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. [00:28:59] Andrew Holman: Because we would have a test now that could measure the autonomic nervous system with exquisite precision. Nobody cared except me. About 10 years ago, we were waiting for better biologics, the things on TV, right? They asked, "Ask your doctor if it's good for you." Nobody realizes that they work about twenty-five percent of the time in terms of disease control. That's a big gap, but it looks like it's the brain that monitors inflammation. The inflammation the immune system is not firewalled against everything. The brain c-controls it, and it's not the endocrine so much with cortisol, it's the autonomic that works in milliseconds that, that epinephrine response. So that's a... You know, you're pretty nervous when you un-- when you-- someone tells you, "Okay, here is the results." [00:29:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Wow. [00:29:50] Andrew Holman: And, and, and that was it. And then it turned out in 2015, the other moment was when I was going through the airport at Seattle and I saw the cover of of Scientific American, Bioelectric Medicine, Setpoint Medical's vagus nerve stimulation, hacking the the vagus nerve to fix the autonomic nervous system to reduce the burden of rheumatoid arthritis. I go, "Okay, now it's time." We had the patent on it. Okay. Ten years forward, we're where we are now. We're launching in June, and we have a software juggernaut here and a literally a vital sign. So, th-the doctors decide what to do with this, but we've put it in their hands, and it's paid for by insurance. So yeah. [00:30:34] Lindsey Dinneen: Amazing. Well, that's, that's so cool. Congratulations on that. That's fantastic. Okay, so to pivot the conversation a little bit just for fun, [00:30:43] Andrew Holman: Hmm? [00:30:43] Lindsey Dinneen: imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a master class on anything you want. What would you choose to teach? [00:30:53] Andrew Holman: Well, I, I learned that you've all had professors that didn't probably know as much as they should about a subject, but they thought it was just fun. I would probably stick with what I know. So I would do a master class on fibromyalgia because you can actually treat it. And there's published data, but it's very-- it's not widely known. We will be using Inmedix and autonomic testing to do research to validate and get that problem finally solved and put to bed. And then the other is this thing called immunoautonomics. It, the term-- I made up the term 15 years ago. It's in the medical literature. So that's what I would teach. Teach what I know. [00:31:27] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Okay, excellent. And how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:31:34] Andrew Holman: Well, I, you know, it all come... I define myself by what the patients, how they do and what they say. It's not about five stars and all that, you know, you know, there's plenty of those. But it's, it's... I made a, a commitment if somebody says anything about me, I made a commitment when I was a rheumatologist with all these mostly young women upset, that I would never leave the room with them crying. Didn't matter how far behind I was, didn't matter. We went through a lot of Kleenex. There's a l- it's devastating to get these diseases when you're a young woman. And they can put that on my tombstone, not to dismiss people. We had a saying in the office, "It's gotta be something." You know? It's, it's always something. Drives me crazy when doctors will say, "Oh, that's nothing." Well, well, first of all, we know it's not nothing. It, it is always something, and there's something that defines your success, and there has to be things that define your failure. So let's figure out what the something is, but let's not argue that there's nothing there. So let's not dismiss people who are frightened and worried, and maybe they don't tell the story as clearly as we'd hope. But you know what? It's not, it's not their fault. They're in distress. It's amazing what people are like after you help them with their chronic pain. [00:32:45] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. That is really cool and makes so much sense. Yeah. Thank you. Okay, and then final question: what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:32:59] Andrew Holman: It's making me smile right now. When I talk to the young fellows that are in their training and they're finishing up, so they've done three years or four years of medicine, three years of internal medicine after that, and then they do three or two, three, four years of rheumatology, and then they're gonna go out, I tell them how jealous I am of what they're gonna see. The, the last, the last 40 years we had these young men mostly coming in with terrible weight loss and immune systems, falling apart, and these strange tumors, and they're dying of, of infections like yeast and candida that, you know, everybody did fine with, and it was HIV, right? It had to be figured out. Now HIV is a chronic disease. It's like diabetes. We had so many people die in the '80s. Hepatitis C was... You'd have liver enzymes up, and it wasn't hepatitis A 'cause we could test for that, and it wasn't hepatitis B 'cause we could test for that. So we just called it non-A, non-B. Literally, that's what we called it. And then that got to be called hepatitis C, right? 'Cause it was too embarrassing to call it n- what it wasn't. And now hepatitis C is curable with antiviral agents in, like, three weeks. I mean... And then the biologics showed up. They're not perfect, but they were a big step. And then this immunoautonomics and, and understanding how pain and sleep and the autonomic nervous system work. I'm just really jealous of what those young clinicians are gonna get to see. [00:34:27] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, that's really... Yeah, I can see why. But it sounds like you are, you know, keeping, keeping your what, what would they say? Like, toe in the water or something so that you're able to, to watch some of this as well and be a part of that next [00:34:40] Andrew Holman: I feel like I'm a ne- I feel like I'm neck deep and I'm just hoping I don't go down any lower. [00:34:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Fair enough. [00:34:48] Andrew Holman: 'Cause I have to find a way to pay for it. [00:34:50] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The details, you know. Yeah, yeah. [00:34:53] Andrew Holman: You got those details, yeah. [00:34:54] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Oh my gosh. Well, this has been an incredible conversation. I really appreciate your time today and sharing your insights and, and stories and, yeah, I'm so excited to see the future of medicine, and I appreciate perspectives of, like yours, where you just, you share a lot of hope and optimism, and you're actively working to change lives for a better world. So, thank you. [00:35:16] Andrew Holman: Yeah, I, I irritate a lot of people with that optimism, but I'm sorry, it's just there. I can't fix it. [00:35:22] Lindsey Dinneen: Brilliant. Well, I love it. It makes my heart happy, so thank you so much again, and I hope you have the best rest of your day. [00:35:31] Andrew Holman: Thank you so much. Thanks for having me.

Week 1 — Resilience: How Your Body Learns to AdaptWhat if resilience isn't about staying strong, pushing through or never struggling?What if resilience is something your body is already learning — every single day?In Week 1 of Somatic in September, Heidi Hadley takes you into the ancient Daintree Rainforest to explore what nature can teach us about resilience, adaptation and the remarkable capacity of the human body to change.Ancient trees don't survive because they avoid storms. They survive because they adapt.Your body does something remarkably similar.Throughout life, your nervous system continually responds to experience, while your fascia and neuromuscular system adapt to the demands placed upon them. Rather than seeing ourselves as permanently “stuck”, understanding this adaptability can offer a very different perspective:Change is possible.In this episode, Heidi explores:Why resilience doesn't mean being calm all the timeWhat ancient trees can teach us about adapting to changeHow your nervous system continually responds and learns from experienceHow fascia remodels throughout lifeWhy patterns in the body don't necessarily have to be permanentThe difference between resilience and simply “pushing through”How curiosity can help us develop greater body awarenessWhy small, consistent experiences can create meaningful change over time

Clinical psychologist and mental wellness expert Dr. Akira Olsen, PsyD, joins Coach Dini on Vigilantes Radio Live for a deeply reflective conversation surrounding her newest book, The Journey to Self: Practical Exercises for Building a Positive Relationship with Yourself and Transforming Your Mental Health.In a culture saturated with therapy language, self-care content and pressure to appear okay, Dr. Olsen explores the difference between understanding mental health and actually practicing the behaviors that support it.The conversation examines why small, sustainable changes often outperform dramatic attempts at reinvention, how perfectionism can disguise itself as ambition, why self-compassion doesn't mean lowering your standards, and what happens when wellness itself becomes another performance.Dr. Olsen also discusses trauma, boundaries, self-forgiveness, financial stress, emotional overwhelm, burnout and the relationship between mind and body—while explaining how her upbringing in Tokyo, practice of Kendo and extensive Western clinical training shaped her integrated approach to psychological care.For anyone feeling stressed, overstimulated, exhausted or disconnected from themselves, this conversation asks a deceptively simple question:What would change if you stopped treating yourself like a problem that needed to be fixed and started building a relationship with the person who's actually living your life?Book:https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Self-Practical-Relationship-Transforming-ebook/dp/B0DQCH4YBD/Websites:www.drakira.comhttps://journeytoself.clinic/Socials:Instagram: instagram.com/drakira94111TikTok: tiktok.com/@drakira94111LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drakiraBrainz Magazine-https://www.brainzmagazine.com/executive-contributor/akira-d-olsenhttps://www.brainzmagazine.com/post/how-journey-health-is-redefining-mental-wellness-for-a-global-culturally-diverse-worldBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com
Send us Fan MailDo you really lack discipline or are you trying to maintain healthy habits while already carrying more than you have the capacity to handle?In this episode, I'm joined by Gamal J. Palmer, founder and principal of Conscious Builders.Gamal has nearly two decades of experience working with executives, leaders, and organizations, including DreamWorks, Nike, Nestlé, Universal Studios, and NBCUniversal. His work combines behavioral science, systems thinking, self-awareness, and practical tools for building sustainable change.We discuss why healthy habits often disappear during stressful periods, why willpower fades by the end of the day, and how unrealistic promises can slowly damage self-trust.Gamal explains why people may interpret exhaustion, poor sleep, emotional stress, or an overloaded schedule as laziness—and why asking better questions can be more useful than criticizing yourself.We also explore why food, alcohol, scrolling, and other behaviors can become an emotional off switch, why removing a habit without replacing it often fails, and how small commitments can help you rebuild confidence in your ability to follow through.In this episode, you'll learn:• What “capacity” means in the context of healthy habits• Why lacking capacity is different from lacking motivation• How negative self-talk reinforces the belief that you are undisciplined• Three questions to ask before calling yourself lazy• Why healthy habits often disappear when life becomes stressful• Why willpower tends to fade after a demanding day• How food, alcohol, television, and scrolling can become an off switch• Why removing a habit without replacing it leaves an empty space• How small acts can help you build discipline and self-trust• Why unrealistic promises create feelings of failure• How minimum commitments can be more powerful than ambitious plans• Why habits need to survive real-life disruptions• How to use minimum, medium, and full versions of a habit• What to do during low-capacity weeks• How to notice a setback without turning it into self-punishmentConnect with Gamal J.

High performers often look successful on the outside while quietly running on fumes inside. Today's guest, Rita Ainsworth, is a former performance marketer who hit burnout twice in a fast-paced Meta ads career before walking away at the peak of her success. Now, she coaches founders, operators, and marketers on how their nervous system state directly shapes performance, decision-making, and leadership, and how to rebuild sustainable success from the inside out. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Rita shares what really drives stress, anxiety, and overworking, and why it's not your external circumstances. She explains how high achievers often tie their self-worth to results, creating an addictive cycle of “just one more goal” that never feels like enough. Instead of surface-level mindset hacks, Rita focuses on body-based regulation tools that help you shift out of constant fight-or-flight and into a grounded, creative state where you can actually think clearly and lead effectively. Rita breaks down the idea of humans as “energy batteries,” showing how stress drains your system and why oscillating between focused effort and intentional recovery is the real secret to long-term performance. She walks through practical practices like simple breathing patterns (such as 4–6 breathing), environmental safety checks, and somatic cues that signal to your nervous system, “You're safe,” so you can reset in minutes instead of needing months off after a crash. You'll also hear how Rita helps entrepreneurs and performance marketers move past fear of being seen, rejection, and visibility of common hidden stressors that keep people from posting, pitching, or putting themselves out there. By understanding how the nervous system interprets risk (like being judged online) as potential “tribal rejection,” Rita shows listeners how to reframe these experiences and expand their capacity for visibility, leadership, and impact without constantly feeling on edge. https://youtu.be/tB1KPPX4jpY?si=J_5pOQZ5EeXBuXVv If your focus has dropped, your patience is thin, and everything feels harder than it should, this conversation will help you see that stress is not just mental, it's biological, and it's trainable. Rita's Reset Circle, one-to-one coaching, and team training give high achievers practical tools to feel safe in their bodies, reclaim their energy, and build businesses that are ambitious and sustainable at the same time. If you're exhausted by the cost of your own success and want a way to grow without burning out, Rita's approach may be exactly the reset you've been needing. Quotes: “Stress is something we have control over, and it's body-based. Simple practices can reset you in moments instead of months.” “How you live your days is how you live your life; every single day counts toward what your life adds up to be.” “Our body has so much information, but we are so used to being stuck in our heads that we ignore everything below the neck.” Contact Details: Work, Live, and Feel Better: Book your free 30-minute Call with Rita Today Driven But Drained?
