Hey friend, Do you ever wonder... Why does early December already feel overstimulating and draining? Am I carrying more stress than I realize because I'm managing both my symptoms and my child's needs? What would change if my nervous system felt supported before the holiday chaos begins? In today's episode, I break down why holiday overwhelm feels so intense for moms navigating chronic symptoms — especially when you're also supporting neurodivergent kids. I explain the “dual nervous system load” that drains your energy long before the holidays begin and share simple, low-effort stress relief rhythms you can use today. You'll walk away with a calmer body, clearer mind, and a small plan to help you feel better heading into December.

This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, WHOOP and Timeline. Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD joins us today to break down what brain fitness really means and why modern life is overwhelming a biological system that was never designed for today's pace. Dr. Porter explains how brain energy, neuroplasticity, breathwork, mitochondria, sleep architecture, stress physiology, light exposure, and daily rituals all influence our ability to think clearly, recover deeply, and perform at a high level. We explore the science behind neurogenesis, the glymphatic system, alpha and delta brainwave states, the impact of sugar and artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline, how breathing and light frequencies regulate the nervous system, and why most people are unknowingly compromising their sleep, metabolism, and cognitive output. Packed with actionable tools—from box breathing and SMR training to healthier morning routines, supplements, and digital hygiene—this episode is a masterclass on how to build a sharper brain and age better.

Most people think you need sweat, strain, or long workouts to upgrade circulation, metabolism, and energy. What if your body could unlock all of that while you stand still? This episode reveals how to get a full body workout by doing absolutely nothing, and why a few minutes of targeted vibration can activate nitric oxide, improve microcirculation, calm your nervous system, and relieve the hidden damage from sitting all day. Host Dave Asprey shows you why the simplest biohack in the room might be the most powerful one you are not using. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Tommy Rhee, DC, a board-certified chiropractor known for his innovative approach to sports medicine and regenerative therapy. Dr. Rhee has treated professional athletes, starting NFL quarterbacks, and everyday people who want better mobility and faster recovery. He served as the official team chiropractor for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and worked with multiple UCLA athletic programs. He also created RheeGen, a patent-pending topical transdermal stem cell cream that introduces a non-invasive path to tissue repair and pain relief. His book, The Future of Regenerative Medicine, outlines how topical stem cell treatments can transform performance and healing. Dr. Rhee's background as a U.S. Navy aircrew member aboard S-3 Viking jets gives him a precision-driven understanding of human performance, resilience, and stress adaptation. In this episode, Dr. Rhee explains why whole body vibration works as a cheat code for circulation, fascia mobility, balance, mood, and nitric oxide activation. He shows how vibration increases microcirculation in places your workouts never reach, why it boosts lymphatic flow better than walking, and how it sends rapid-fire sensory signals that improve proprioception and stress recovery. You also learn why older adults benefit even more from this simple tool, how athletes use it as a warmup to conserve energy, and why three plane vibration dramatically outperforms cheap two dimensional devices. Dave and Dr. Rhee show you how to pair vibration with fasting, ketosis, nootropics, supplements, Danger Coffee, and Smarter Not Harder style training for maximum biohacking efficiency. You'll Learn: • How to mimic the benefits of a full workout while standing still • Why nitric oxide drives circulation, longevity, and metabolic health • How vibration accelerates lymphatic drainage and clears stagnation • Why whole body vibration improves balance, sensory speed, and neuroplasticity • How athletes warm up with vibration to protect energy reserves • Why triplanar vibration beats two dimensional devices for real results • How vibration supports pelvic floor strength and erectile function • How to use vibration for joint protection, fascia mobility, and mitochondrial activation • The daily protocol Dr. Rhee uses for stress relief, mood, and brain optimization Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.

This episode is part of my new YouTube series on stress relief, presence, and being superconscious . In this short episode, you'll discover a simple yet profound question that can dissolve stress in minutes: “What is here right now with no problems to solve?” This isn't about positive thinking or forcing yourself to calm down. It's about interrupting the mind's automatic habit of scanning for threats, overthinking, and creating tension that doesn't need to be there. When you explore this question, your brain shifts out of its stress-driven patterns and into a clearer, more grounded state. The noise quietens. Your body settles. You reconnect with the part of you that exists beneath the stories, worries, and mental predictions. This practice is fast, powerful, and accessible anywhere — whether you're overwhelmed, anxious, or just need a reset. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Sheppard Anxiety, Stress & Mindset Specialist Fed up with anxiety, stress, or a mindset that keeps holding you back?

As we explore this vital subject, I emphasize the uniqueness of each individual's journey through hormonal shifts, whether during perimenopause, menopause, or even monthly cycles. Recognizing the natural ebb and flow of hormonal changes, I reassure listeners that they are not "broken" or "losing it"—rather, their bodies are in a transformative phase, prompting a deeper understanding and connection to self.I lay the foundation by discussing the physiological impacts of fluctuating hormone levels and outline how these changes can manifest as various emotional and physical sensations. The transition can trigger new feelings of anxiety, identity crises, and insights into how one's life roles have evolved. It's essential to approach these transitions with curiosity, as understanding the interplay between hormones, stress, and emotional well-being can empower women during this compelling time.Commencing with an intimate exploration of the effects of estrogen and progesterone, I highlight how these hormones influence mood and anxiety levels. Listeners are encouraged to recognize that increased anxiety during these transitions is not a sign of weakness but rather a normal physiological response. I present practical strategies for self-care, including breathing techniques and grounding exercises, to help ease anxiety and cultivate a nurturing relationship with oneself. By advocating for slow exhale breathing, comforting mantras, and gentle physical practices, I offer tools that can aid women in navigating this sensitive phase with grace.#Perimenopause, #Menopause, #MidlifeAnxiety, #HormonalAnxiety, #WomensHealth, #TheChangeOfLife, #AnxietyRelief, #MidlifeTransition, #Recalibration, #IdentityShift, #Estrogen, #Progesterone, #NervousSystem, #StressManagement, #PrioritizeSleep, #SelfCare, #SetBoundaries, #GABA, #SlowExhale, #YouAreNotBroken, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #ChristianeNorthrup, #FemininePower, #NotLosingIt, #AnxietySupport, #MentalWellness, #StressRelief, #MindBodyConnection, #LifeTransitions, #SelfCompassion, #NervousSystemRegulation, #EmotionalHealth, #HealthJourney, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfHelp, #InnerPeace, #Midlife, #HormoneHealth, #WellbeingJourney, #DeepBreathing, #GroundingTechniques, #MentalClarity, #Recalibration, #ItsOkayToStruggle, #FindingYourCenter, #PodcastForAnxiety, #AuthenticSelf, #ChangingRhythms #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

By exploring the 'what-if mind,' we unpack how these relentless thoughts can spiral into overwhelming anxiety. The discussion centers on recognizing where our concerns originate, often rooted in our instinct to protect ourselves. While our minds are hardwired to anticipate dangers and potential problems, this survival mechanism can easily turn into an exhausting cycle of worry.The show emphasizes that these what-ifs can feel convincing and powerful, often painting scenarios that never materialize while neglecting positive outcomes. This pattern leads to a narrowed perspective, amplifying fear beyond reality. I stress the importance of not fighting or suppressing these thoughts but rather acknowledging their presence and gently guiding the mind back to the present—where our true power lies.Throughout the episode, I share strategies to help listeners identify and manage their what-if thoughts. The key is early recognition—skills that can be cultivated over time. I discuss the significance of labeling anxious thoughts as they arise, reframing them to acknowledge that they are simply future predictions and not current facts. This technique enables listeners to replace anxiety with grounding affirmations and return to their breath, thereby reclaiming their calm.#AnxietyRelief, #FutureAnxiety, #Overthinking, #WorryLess, #CalmYourMind, #WhatIfs, #AnxietySupport, #StressRelief, #AnxietyAwareness, #AnxietyTips, #EmotionalWellness, #QuietMind, #Mindfulness, #PresentMoment, #ReturnToNow, #BeHereNow, #BePresent, #MindfulLiving, #InTheMoment, #MindfulnessPractice, #CalmMind, #PeaceOfMind, #GuidedMeditation, #MeditationPractice, #BreathingExercises, #Breathwork, #Grounding, #Mantra, #Affirmations, #DailyMeditation, #MeditationJourney, #MindfulBreathing, #MentalHealth, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfCare, #SelfLove, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #Wellness, #Wellbeing, #Healing, #EndTheStigma, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoach, #LifeCoach, #WellnessPodcast, #Coaching, #PodcastLife. #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chronic stress can significantly harm our mental and physical health — not to mention diminish our quality of life. While many of us recognize the sensation of stress, we often dismiss it as an inevitable part of life and feel powerless to change it. Yet we do have the ability to support our bodies, and our guest, Anika Christ, RD, explores one effective approach: supplementation. Christ sheds light on how chronic stress alters our nutrient needs and how nutritional strategies can counteract common stress effects like weight gain, sleep disturbances, and cravings. She also discusses supplement options that can provide valuable support to stressed bodies.

In this episode of "Next Level Healing," host Dr. Tara Perry engages in a transformative conversation with her guest, Kat, who shares her personal journey of healing and self-discovery through hypnotherapy. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Perry aims to demystify the recovery process, making it accessible and relatable for listeners.Kat opens up about her struggles with chronic back pain, anxiety, fear, and self-doubt prior to their sessions. Despite trying various traditional therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy, she found little relief, which only exacerbated her feelings of helplessness. Driven by a desire for change, Kat decided to explore hypnotherapy after being inspired by the teachings of Joe Dispenza on self-healing and the power of the mind.Early in the process, Kat experienced a shift in her mindset, realizing that the moment she committed to the hypnotherapy journey, her subconscious began to awaken. She describes the initial sessions as a safe space where she could confront her inner struggles and gain clarity. As she engaged with the hypnotherapy recordings, she felt a sense of lightness and began to feed the "good wolf" within her.As the sessions progressed, Kat noticed significant improvements in her back pain, which had decreased by half by the time of her second session. She likens her experience to building a sturdy bridge to her authentic self, allowing her to reunite with a version of herself she had long lost touch with. This newfound connection brought her joy, freedom, and a stronger sense of self, enabling her to establish better boundaries and clarity in her life.Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every week for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

In today's episode, Gina discusses an important strategy to help individuals suffering with anxiety: identify things that are not within your control and let go of any requirement to control outcomes relating to these things. We live in an uncertain world and our ability to control external events can be extremely limited. It is an enormous gift you can give yourself, to let go of the expectation that you can control such external forces.

Realize this, and you will find strength.- Marcus AureliusChapters0:26 Introduction to Finding Calm2:49 Control vs. Acceptance6:26 Reflecting on What You Can Control9:29 The Courage of Acceptance12:02 The Power of Kindness13:52 Embracing Uncertainty15:02 Returning to Inner PeaceSummaryIn today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the vital topic of what we can truly control amidst the turmoil and uncertainty that so many are facing in the world today. As we navigate our lives filled with pressures from work, family, and health, it has become increasingly essential to reconnect with our internal sense of calm. So often, we allow anxiety to take the driver's seat, leading us to believe that if we can control every aspect of our lives, we will find peace. However, I invite you to explore with me the paradigm shift that comes from recognizing what is indeed within our control and what isn't.The discussion begins by acknowledging the overwhelming nature of our current environment, where uncertainty seems to prevail. In these moments, our minds can spiral into an anxious loop filled with "what if" scenarios. I highlight that while our minds are extraordinary problem solvers and have kept us safe throughout history, that very capability can become counterproductive when anxiety takes hold. As we unpack this, we see how anxiety amplifies our reactions to uncertainty, leading us to try managing aspects of life that are far beyond our reach.I introduce the idea of a conceptual circle that represents the dichotomy between what we control and what we don't. Inside this circle, we can focus on elements such as our choices, self-care, and responses to daily challenges. Outside that circle lies the unpredictable — the weather, other people's decisions, and countless scenarios that we cannot influence. I emphasize the crucial shift towards redirecting our attention from the outer circle back to our own sphere of influence, positing that our true power resides there.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #Anxiety, #FindingCalm, #Uncertainty, #Control, #Acceptance, #Mindfulness, #InnerPeace, #SelfCare, #StressRelief, #Resilience, #MentalWellness, #WhatIsInYourControl, #Stoicism, #MarcusAurelius, #AnxietyManagement, #LettingGo, #NotAControlFreak, #AnxiousMind, #NervousSystem, #EmotionalRegulation, #PeaceInThePresent, #StopFixing, #EmbraceUncertainty, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietyAwareness, #PersonalPowerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode of "Next Level Healing," host Dr. Tara Perry welcomes Christy Whitman, a two-time New York Times bestselling author and a 25-year transformational leader. The conversation centers around the concept of "flow"—a state of being that many desire but often find elusive. Christy explains that flow is not just about feeling good; it encompasses abundance, success, love, and well-being. She emphasizes that flow exists for everyone, but individuals often become disconnected from it due to various life experiences and internal contrasts, such as past traumas and negative self-talk.Dr. Perry and Christy delve into the Law of Attraction, discussing common misconceptions that lead people to struggle with manifesting their desires. Christy highlights that while many understand the principle of sending out energy to attract what they want, they often overlook the importance of being conscious of the energy they are receiving and holding within themselves. This internal dialogue can significantly impact their ability to manifest their desires.The discussion also touches on the imprints from childhood experiences, both big and small, that shape individuals' beliefs about themselves. Christy illustrates how these early experiences can lead to feelings of unworthiness and how recognizing and processing these emotions is crucial for returning to a state of flow. She introduces the concept of the "drama triangle," which includes the roles of victim, persecutor, and rescuer, and explains how these roles can perpetuate feelings of lack and disempowerment.Throughout the episode, Christy shares personal anecdotes and success stories from her coaching practice, demonstrating how individuals can shift their perspectives and reclaim their sense of agency. She emphasizes the importance of mastering one's thoughts, feelings, and perceptions to navigate life's challenges effectively.Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every week for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance/movement therapist Erica Hornthal (“The Therapist Who Moves You”) joins Aaron to explain how changing the way we move changes the way we feel. Recorded on November 3, 2025, the conversation grounds movement therapy in the realities of Chicagoland life: financial pressure, screen-driven immobility, community trauma in Highland Park, and heightened anxiety around recent ICE activity across the North Shore. Erica shares practical, accessible ways to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and communicate nonverbally when words are not enough.Key TakeawaysMovement is already part of therapy: posture shifts, breathing, pacing, and small gestures can be therapeutic starting points.We have “out-evolved” our natural instinct to move; immobility amplifies anxiety.Stressors show up differently across communities. Whether it is public-safety trauma or fear tied to immigration enforcement, the body stores that stress.You can change your state by changing your movement, even with simple, seated interventions.Nonverbal work helps couples and families de-escalate conflict and build empathy.Parents can meet kids' energy with movement rather than suppression, then teach time-and-place skills.Research supports dance and movement as effective for anxiety and depression; therapy fit and relationship still matter most.Practical access: look for “somatic,” “body-oriented,” or “creative arts therapy” in your area; insurance coverage depends on the clinician's license.Timestamps00:00 Intro to Erica and dance/movement therapy02:00 What movement therapy looks like in practice04:50 Why Erica wrote “BodyTalk” and how readers use it08:15 Why we feel so stressed today, and how immobility feeds anxiety10:45 Local context: Highland Park trauma and recent ICE activity on the North Shore12:30 Changing movement to change mood and cognition15:15 Treating the “snake bite” before debating the “why”16:00 Individual vs group work, and what movement builds between people17:35 Getting over discomfort and starting small20:40 A simple intervention: washing hands slowly to interrupt anxiety22:20 Working across ages: from 3 to 10726:15 Coaching kids and meeting their movement needs31:30 Nonverbal communication in relationships and negotiations35:00 “Embodied listening” and the limits of AI for mental health39:30 Walks, showers, and why ideas arrive during movement42:00 Using your body as a free mental health resource43:00 Finding somatic or creative arts therapists and dealing with insurance46:45 What the research says about dance, anxiety, and depression49:00 Where to find Erica and her books50:00 ClosingPractical Exercises MentionedSeated reset: notice shoulders, jaw, feet; slow your breath and lengthen exhale.Pattern interrupt: pick one daily action and do it slowly for 20 seconds (example: handwashing) to downshift intensity.Conflict pause: step outside or to separate corners, walk, then reconvene.With kids: “shake out the wiggles,” go outside for 60 seconds, then return.GuestErica Hornthal, LCPC, BC-DMTFounder and CEO, Chicago Dance TherapyAuthor of BodyTalk, Body Aware, and The Movement Therapy DeckWebsite: https://www.ericahornthal.comPractice: https://www.chicagodancetherapy.comInstagram: @thetherapistwhomovesyouEmail: erica@hornthal.comResources MentionedBodyTalk: 365 Gentle Practices to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your BodyBody AwareThe Movement Therapy DeckSearch terms for local care: “somatic therapy,” “body-oriented therapy,” “creative arts therapy,” “dance movement therapy,” plus your city.For Listeners in ChicagolandIf anxiety has spiked for you or your family due to recent events in the region, consider brief, daily movement check-ins.

In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael sits down with Bogdan Micov, a Macedonian entrepreneur living in Bali, who has developed the Relentless Method—a groundbreaking approach to stress relief and emotional transformation. Bogdan's method helps entrepreneurs and leaders eliminate negative emotions and limiting beliefs in days rather than years, breaking away from traditional coping strategies to create lasting internal change. Together, Michael and Bogdan explore the difference between managing stress and transforming it.

By embracing the law of cause and effect, Bogdan encourages listeners to move away from the victim mindset and take ownership of their outcomes.
