Podcasts about Stress

Most men think preparedness is a bunker full of gear and ammo. My guest today, Mike Glover, knows better. A Green Beret, former CIA contractor, and founder of Fieldcraft Survival has spent his life teaching men that real readiness is a mindset before it's a skillset and that the hardest terrain you'll ever navigate isn't in the wilderness, it's the purgatory of your own worst chapter. In this conversation, Mike opens up about hardship, redemption, and what it took to pick himself up when the ground gave way beneath him. We get into why men today aren't weak so much as broken down, physically, hormonally, and spiritually. And, we talk about what it takes to rebuild. We talk about purpose and identity, the difference between the people who scatter and the people who'll always have your back, and why being targeted only sharpened his clarity about who he is and what he's built. This is a raw, unflinching look at accountability, manhood, and the courage to say what needs to be said. Mike doesn't hedge, and neither do we.

Everyone is trying to optimize their health with trackers, supplements, morning routines, and biohacking tools, but sometimes the basics are still the biggest needle-movers. In this episode, we unpack why sleep, stress, relationships, food quality, and even walking may matter more than the latest wellness trend. We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle Podcast with Shawn Stevenson. We also chat about melatonin, sleep quality, wearables, fat loss, protein, weighted vests, GLP-1s, and why your relationships may be the most underrated longevity hack. Shawn Stevenson is the host of The Model Health Show, one of the top-rated health podcasts. He is the author of Sleep Smarter, which became an international bestseller and has been translated into more than 20 languages. He is also the author of Eat Smarter and the Eat Smarter Family Cookbook. What's Discussed: (02:11) How Shawn Stevenson wrote one of the first bestselling books on sleep before it became a wellness trend. (03:08) Why sleep was the missing factor for clients who were doing everything “right” but not seeing results. (04:20) How morning exercise can help reset your cortisol rhythm and improve sleep quality. (09:29) What people misunderstand about melatonin and why taking more is not always better. (22:16) Why waking up in the middle of the night is not always a problem. (27:28) Are wearables actually improving your health or making you more neurotic? (37:04) Why your relationships may be the number one factor in longevity. (48:19) How sleep deprivation can make you lose muscle instead of body fat. (55:16) Why calories matter, but food quality changes what your body does with them. (1:18:14) The weighted vest study that explains why gravitational loading may help prevent weight regain.

Roughly 82% of autoimmune diseases show up in women, and the cause may not be what you think. In this episode, I sit down with resilience researcher Dr. Taryn Marie to unpack how the stress you hide rewires your nervous system, why "toughing it out" is actually the opposite of resilience, and the three questions I'm now asking myself every morning. She also opens up about the 20-year secret she hid from everyone and a study where babies who had food, water, and everything but one thing still didn't survive.

The problem might not be your discipline. It might be your gut. We expose why most probiotics may be dead before they reach you, how glyphosate wipes out your good bacteria, the hidden gut-brain link, and why a damaged microbiome makes belly fat almost impossible to lose. If you've been blaming yourself for symptoms you can't shake, this one changes everything. Talking Points & Questions Opening: Is it true someone can eat clean, exercise daily, and still have their gut secretly causing belly fat, brain fog, and inflammation? The probiotic problem Most probiotics die before reaching the gut. Are millions wasting money on fake probiotics? Why do so many people get more bloated and sick after taking probiotics? What's the biggest lie the probiotic industry has sold consumers? Food supply & warning signs What are the biggest warning signs your gut is poisoning your body before disease shows up? Glyphosate kills good bacteria but lets harmful bacteria survive. Is modern food destroying our microbiome? Gut, belly fat & the brain Can a damaged microbiome make it almost impossible to lose stubborn belly fat? What's the connection between gut bacteria, brain fog, anxiety, low motivation, and depression? Longevity & stress Microbiome diversity predicts longevity. What are most people doing daily that's quietly shortening their lifespan? Stress lowers stomach acid and can lead to SIBO. Could chronic stress alone be wrecking millions of guts? The fix With belly fat, cravings, fatigue, constipation, skin problems, or brain fog, what's the first thing you'd fix in their gut? If everyone watching had to do one thing daily to repair their microbiome, what would it be?

Matt Spiegel and Gabe Ramirez opened their show by discussing the White Sox's 4-3 loss to the Guardians in 10 innings Wednesday. After that, Cubs manager Craig Counsell joined the show to discuss the team's doubleheader sweep of the Mets on Wednesday before also sharing a concerning health update on right-hander Ben Brown.

Do you feel guilty when you rest? Do you find yourself saying things like, “I’ll relax after I finish this project.” Or, “I’ll take a day off once work slows down.” Or what about, “I’ll rest when I finally get caught up.” Hint: You will almost never be caught up. If so, you’re not alone. Many high-achievers have unknowingly adopted the belief that rest is something they have to earn. The problem? That mindset often keeps us stuck in a cycle of chronic stress, mental exhaustion, and nervous system dysregulation. In this episode of Making Shift Happen, we’re unpacking one of the biggest productivity myths out there: that your worth is tied to your output. The truth is that recovery isn’t a reward for hard work – it’s a requirement for sustainable performance. Whether you’re trying to improve your health, become more consistent with exercise, perform better at work, or simply feel like yourself again, learning how to rest without guilt may be one of the most important skills you develop. Take the FREE Nervous System Audit here (it’s only 10 questions!): https://forms.gle/hGtZY7P8X5sAtQe26. Learn the signs and how to help yourself – I’m also here to help!

They also dive into the science of the vagus nerve, heart rate variability, fear extinction, human connection, and simple tools that help us feel safer, calmer, and more adaptable.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy feeling physiologically safe is the foundation for learning, healing, and peak performanceHow chronic stress affects sleep, recovery, immunity, and the body's ability to functionThe difference between top-down thinking and bottom-up nervous system regulationWhy touch, movement, music, breathwork, and human connection are powerful tools for reducing stressHow modern technology and constant stimulation may be making us less resilient, less focused, and less connectedKey Highlights:(0:00) Intro: Gen Z Cognitive Regression & Technology Warning(0:37) Meet Dr. David Rabin: Psychiatrist & Apollo Neuroscience Co-Founder(2:20) Bottom-Up vs. Top-Down Learning(4:41) The Neuroscience of Learning and Safety(7:06) Maslow's Hierarchy and Physiological Safety(12:27) The Role of Touch as Our First Language(18:47) The Vagus Nerve: Governor of Rest and Recovery(27:32) Apollo Wearable: Activating Safety in Seconds(29:07) Kelly's Sleep-Anywhere Superpower & Sleep Science(33:08) Belief, Biology, and the Dream Catcher Story(41:06) The Amygdala as a Contrast Detection Center(47:35) PTSD as a Learned Fear Disorder(56:14) What Apollo Actually Does and How It Works(1:04:26) Apollo + Oura Ring Sleep Study – 1,000+ People, 3 Years(1:12:49) Managing Overstimulation in a Tech-Driven World(1:14:53) Smartphone Addiction and Misdiagnosis of ADHD(1:16:12) Book Highlights and Education System 50 Years Outdated(1:18:19) AI Should Not Replace Human Teaching and Healing(1:20:28) Infinite Shelf: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz(1:23:13) Closing ThoughtsHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT and Momentous.

Alice Desbioles est médecin, je l'avais reçu en 2021 sur le sujet de l'anco-anxiété sur lequel elle a écrit un livre dans lequel elle documente, preuves scientifiques à l'appui, les effets de notre environnement sur notre santé physique et mentale.Je l'ai connu à travers ce livre et j'ai adoré cette conversation, pas sur les chiffres de la crise écologique comme la canicule que l'on traverse, mais sur ce qu'elle nous fait, à nous, en tant qu'êtres humains. Ce qu'elle révèle de nos contradictions. Et de notre incapacité collective à nous fixer des limites — alors que ces limites sont, littéralement, la condition de notre survie.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de l'effet rebond technologique (plus de routes, plus de voitures ; plus de 5G, plus de temps sur l'écran), du sens des limites en médecine, de la métaphore des 24 heures de la Terre, de la liberté mal posée comme argument, de l'éco-anxiété comme signe de solidité psychique, du stress aigu versus chronique, et de la manière de repeindre nos villes en vert plutôt que de les fuir. J'ai aussi questionné Alice sur ce que la science documente sur les effets des forêts sur la santé. La réponse est vertigineuse.CITATIONS MARQUANTES"On est aussi, finalement, des grands enfants. Et là, il n'y a plus personne pour nous fixer de limites. Mais pourtant, ces limites, elles sont indispensables à notre survie."— Alice Desbioles"Ô liberté, que de crimes on commet en ton nom."— Alice Desbioles"Le progrès, pour moi, c'est maximiser le bien-être. Et le bien-être, ce n'est pas que l'accumulation de technologies et de biens."— Alice Desbioles"L'éco-anxiété traduit déjà un certain courage, une certaine force de caractère, une certaine solidité qui nous permet d'avancer malgré toutes ces informations."— Alice Desbioles"Si on reprend à l'échelle des 24 heures, l'espace des 150 dernières années, c'est même pas un clignement d'œil. On a tout cramé, comme des ados."— Gregory PouyIDÉES CENTRALES (BIG IDEAS)1. L'effet rebond : la technologie ne résout jamais le problème qu'elle prétend résoudre (00:21)Plus tu rajoutes des routes, plus il y a de voitures. Plus la 5G est rapide, plus les gens passent de temps sur leur téléphone. L'innovation réplique la demande au lieu de la satisfaire. C'est une des lois les moins enseignées de notre rapport à la technique.2. Le sens des limites comme condition de survie collective (01:03)Alice le constate en réanimation : on va toujours plus loin, parfois contre la volonté des patients eux-mêmes. La même logique du "toujours plus" s'applique à la société entière. Les limites ne sont pas une contrainte : elles sont ce qui rend la vie possible. Les 9 limites planétaires existent pour cette raison.3. La métaphore des 24 heures : on a brûlé en un clin d'œil ce qui s'est construit en presque toute l'histoire de la Terre (02:53)Si l'existence de la planète = 24h, l'humain est arrivé à la dernière minute et demie. Les énergies fossiles se sont formées pendant les 23h58 où on n'était pas là. Et on les a consommées en quelques secondes à peine. Tout est là.4. La liberté comme argument mal posé (03:22)La liberté de rouler à 130 km/h sur autoroute opposée à la liberté d'un enfant de grandir sans asthme chronique. Ce n'est pas la même liberté. Et quand on ne le dit pas clairement, le débat est perdu d'avance.5. L'éco-anxiété comme signe de bonne santé mentale (07:26)C'est une question que je pose et qui mérite d'être posée : est-ce que ne pas être éco-anxieux en 2021, c'est pas un peu inquiétant ? Alice confirme : l'éco-anxiété traduit une solidité psychique, pas une fragilité. C'est le déni qui devrait inquiéter.6. Stress aigu vs. stress chronique : ce que le corps absorbe et ce qu'il ne peut pas absorber (08:20)Le stress aigu est physiologique, il sert à agir. Le stress chronique, lui, détruit. Et notre société — vitesse, notifications, bruit, pollution — est une machine à fabriquer du stress chronique.7. Repeindre les villes en vert plutôt que les fuir (12:51)La dichotomie ville-campagne est un faux débat. La vraie question, c'est comment faire entrer la nature dans les espaces urbains : cours d'école végétalisées, mobilités actives, espaces verts. L'OMS et la science le documentent. Les effets sont cardiaques, mentaux, immunitaires.QUESTIONS POSÉES DANS L'INTERVIEWEst-ce que l'innovation technologique résout vraiment les problèmes qu'elle prétend résoudre ?Comment as-tu constaté, en médecine, cette incapacité collective à se fixer des limites ?Qu'est-ce que les 9 limites planétaires nous disent de notre rapport au monde ?En quoi l'argument de la liberté est-il souvent mal posé dans les débats environnementaux ?Comment réinventer les récits collectifs pour donner envie de changer ?Est-ce que l'éco-anxiété n'est pas, finalement, un signe de bonne santé mentale ?Peux-tu nous expliquer comment fonctionne le stress, physiologiquement ?Quelle est la différence entre le stress et l'angoisse ?Est-ce que le meilleur acte écologique reste de vivre en ville ?Comment intégrer davantage de nature dans nos environnements urbains sans opposer ville et campagne ?RÉFÉRENCES CITÉES DANS L'ÉPISODEConcepts scientifiques et institutionnelsLes 9 limites planétaires (cadre scientifique de Rockström et al.) — (01:40)Recommandations de l'OMS sur les espaces verts et la santé — (05:37)Revue scientifique sur les effets des forêts sur la santé physique et mentale (citée dans le livre d'Alice Desbioles) — (12:03)Politiques publiquesLa Convention citoyenne pour le climat (proposition de limitation de vitesse à 110 km/h sur autoroute) — (03:22)Condamnations de la France par la Commission européenne pour non-respect des seuils de pollution de l'air — (04:33)Références culturelles et linguistiquesÉtymologie de "écologie" (discours sur la maison) et "économie" (gestion de la maison) — (02:11)Citation "Ô liberté, que de crimes on commet en ton nom" — (03:22)Les écoles en forêt en Allemagne et dans les pays scandinaves — (13:33)LivreLe livre d'Alice Desbioles (non titré dans cet extrait, mais mentionné avec bibliographie) — (12:03)À venir dans l'émissionMention d'un futur épisode avec un expert du low-tech — (06:12)TIMESTAMPS CLÉS (OPTIMISÉS YOUTUBE)00:00 – Introduction du "moment" Greg présente le format : un extrait d'épisode qui a marqué les esprits. 00:21 – L'effet rebond : pourquoi la tech ne résout pas ce qu'elle promet Plus de routes = plus de voitures. Plus de 5G = plus de temps sur l'écran. L'innovation amplifie la demande au lieu de la satisfaire. 01:03 – Alice : le sens des limites, ce que la réanimation nous apprend Témoignage fort : une patiente âgée réanimée contre sa volonté fait scandale auprès du médecin. Jusqu'où va-t-on ? Les 9 limites planétaires posent la même question. 02:11 – Écologie, économie : retour à la racine des mots L'écologie, c'est le "discours sur la maison". L'économie, c'est la "gestion de la maison". Et la maison est mal gérée. 02:53 – La métaphore des 24h : on a tout brûlé en un clignement d'œil Si la vie de la Terre = 24h, l'humain arrive à 1 minute 30.

On les a consommés en quelques secondes. 03:22 – Liberté vs. limites : le débat mal posé La liberté de rouler à 130 km/h contre la liberté d'un enfant de grandir sans asthme. Ce ne sont pas les mêmes libertés. 05:37 – Redéfinir le progrès : pas plus vite, mais mieux vivre Le vrai progrès, c'est maximiser le bien-être — espaces verts, mobilités actives, contact avec la nature. L'OMS le documente. 07:26 – L'éco-anxiété, signe de bonne santé mentale ? Être éco-anxieux en 2021, c'est regarder la réalité en face. C'est le déni qui devrait inquiéter. 08:20 – Stress aigu vs. stress chronique : ce que le corps supporte ou pas Explication claire et pédagogique : le stress aigu est physiologique et bénéfique. Le stress chronique, lui, détruit — sommeil, digestion, santé cardiovasculaire. 09:56 – Stress vs. angoisse : quelle différence ? Le stress a une cause identifiable. L'angoisse est diffuse, globale, sans objet clair. C'est souvent ça qui la rend plus difficile à traverser. 12:03 – La science des forêts : effets cardiaques, immunitaires, mentaux Des études documentent les effets positifs de la nature sur la santé. Ce n'est pas une intuition — c'est de la recherche. 12:51 – Repeindre les villes en vert plutôt que les fuir La vraie question n'est pas ville vs. campagne. C'est comment faire entrer la nature là où vivent les gens.

In Episode 228, Sarah, Catherine (@GilmoreGuide), and Chrissie (@ChrissieWhitley) take stock of the reading year so far, discussing the books, publishing trends, and industry chatter that have defined the first half of 2026. They dive into the biggest publishing stories of the year, the rise of "cozy everything," the continued influence of self-publishing and book-to-screen success stories, and whether it's possible to tap a Book of the Year before the second half of the publishing calendar arrives. Then, they share their Top 5 Books of 2026 So Far and a few disappointing reads that didn't quite live up to expectations.

Dr. Darien Sutton MD MBA — is an emergency physician and ABC News medical correspondent. He joins me for a conversation about sleep, stress, and why doctors need to be fighting health misinformation online. Darien is candid about the healthy sleep habits that residency made difficult, about the orthopedic surgeon who taught him more about stress than medical school ever did, and why he believes physicians can't sit out the misinformation epidemic. We get into food noise, GLP-1 medications, and why obesity is a chronic condition — not a moral failure.  Read more in Men's Health. Follow Darien on Instagram.

911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. Behind Every Emergency Call Is Someone Carrying the Weight of Another Person's Worst Day. When most people think of first responders, they picture police officers racing toward danger, firefighters battling flames, or paramedics fighting to save lives. The episode is available to listen to Free. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio But there is another group of heroes who experience unimaginable tragedy every day without ever leaving their chairs. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too. Their battlefield isn't on the streets. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. It's Trauma on The Phone. Every scream... Every desperate plea... Every child crying... Every gunshot... Every final breath... It all comes through a headset. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. On the latest episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, host John Jay Wiley welcomes Alex LeFever, a veteran 911 dispatcher who shares what many dispatchers have silently carried for years. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. His story reminds listeners that emotional scars don't require physical danger. Sometimes the deepest wounds are heard, not seen. The Calls That Never Leave Alex worked as a 911 dispatcher in both Arkansas and Pennsylvania. Like many emergency telecommunicators, thousands of calls blended together over time. But a few never disappeared. One involved a three-week-old baby. Another involved a woman trapped in a violent domestic abuse situation, who shot her attacker. Alex listened helplessly as the assault unfolded over the phone. Those voices never truly left him. "There are calls you never forget," Alex explains. "They stay with you long after your shift ends." Unlike police officers or firefighters who eventually arrive at a scene and begin resolving the crisis, dispatchers often experience something mental health experts call truncated trauma. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. They hear the terror. They imagine the scene. Then the phone disconnects. Most never learn how the story ended. Their minds are left to fill in the blanks. 911 Dispatchers Are Often the First First Responders Whether dispatchers are officially recognized as first responders depends largely on where they work. Many states, including California, Washington, and Delaware, have passed laws officially recognizing emergency dispatchers as first responders. Federal classifications have historically categorized them as administrative employees rather than protective service professionals. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. That distinction has sparked ongoing bipartisan efforts in Congress to update federal classifications through legislation such as the 9-1-1 SAVES Act and the Enhancing First Response Act. Regardless of job titles, dispatchers perform life-saving work every day. They calm panicked callers. Guide CPR. Provide emergency childbirth instructions. Coordinate police, fire, and EMS responses. Gather critical intelligence. Save lives. Long before emergency vehicles arrive, dispatchers are already working to keep victims alive. "They're often the first voice people hear during the worst moment of their lives." Trauma on The Phone Is Real Mental health professionals increasingly recognize that dispatchers experience extraordinarily high rates of Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Unlike field responders, dispatchers experience trauma through sound alone. The human brain reacts as if it is physically present. Adrenaline surges. Heart rate increases. Stress hormones flood the body. Yet dispatchers must remain calm. Professional. Focused. They cannot panic. They cannot cry. They simply answer the next call. Hour after hour. Day after day. Over time, that emotional weight accumulates. Symptoms may include: • Reliving disturbing calls • Hearing callers' voices long after work • Difficulty concentrating • Hyper-vigilance • Emotional numbness • Burnout • Insomnia • High blood pressure • Chronic stress Many dispatchers suffer silently because few people understand what their job truly involves. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. The complete interview is available as a Free Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and major podcast platforms. Healing Doesn't Always Come Easy For Alex, recovery became intentional. He found one powerful outlet inside the gym. Weight training became more than exercise. It became therapy. "Training should enhance your life, not consume it," Alex says. His fitness journey actually began at just ten years old. By age seventeen, he had already set four International Powerlifting Association world records in the 198-pound class, including a remarkable 490-pound deadlift that stood for years. Today his philosophy is much different. Rather than chasing perfection, Alex helps people create sustainable health around real life. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. Listeners can hear the complete interview on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and other major Podcast, Radio, News, and Media platforms. "Life still needs to happen," he says. "Cake at birthday parties. Family dinners. Saturday morning French toast." Instead of unrealistic fitness expectations, Alex teaches balance. He specializes in helping first responders, shift workers, and everyday people overcome obstacles traditional fitness programs often ignore. Irregular schedules. Old injuries. Chronic stress. Sleep disruption. Mental fatigue. His coaching adapts to reality instead of demanding perfection. Supporting the People Behind the Headset Mental health experts continue emphasizing that dispatchers need the same support systems increasingly available to police officers, firefighters, and paramedics. The podcast is available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and other major podcast platforms. Peer support. Critical incident debriefings. Professional counseling. Trauma education. Preventative mental health training. Organizations dedicated to dispatcher wellness continue advocating for stronger mental health resources while many states are expanding PTSD workers' compensation protections for emergency telecommunicators. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. Recognizing dispatcher trauma isn't simply about changing job titles. It's about acknowledging invisible injuries before they become life-changing ones.

Most of us eat by the clock, not by hunger. In this episode, I break down the difference between real physiological hunger and the cravings, habits, and schedules that drive most of our eating decisions — and why that distinction matters more than any diet. I share what happened when I skipped breakfast before a photo shoot in Miami, how ghrelin trains itself to your schedule, and why fasting for a day might be the simplest recalibration tool you're not using. If you can't skip a meal without falling apart, your metabolic flexibility needs work. This episode is about fixing that — no supplements, no apps, no cost.

In this episode of Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill, Dr. Jill Carnahan sits down with Dr. John Demartini, a world-renowned human behavior expert, bestselling author, and founder of the Demartini Institute, to explore the deeper meaning behind physical symptoms and chronic illness. Together, they discuss how symptoms may serve as powerful messages rather than random malfunctions, revealing underlying emotional, psychological, and physiological imbalances. Dr. Demartini shares insights from five decades of research into human behavior, neuroscience, philosophy, and healing, offering a unique perspective on the mind-body connection and the role of purpose, gratitude, and self-awareness in wellness. This thought-provoking conversation challenges conventional views of disease and invites listeners to discover how understanding the body's messages can unlock greater health, resilience, and fulfillment.

Most leaders don't think of themselves as creative. Al Gordon says that's the lie keeping you stuck. Al, founder of Renaissance, lead pastor of SAINT in East London, talks about why creativity is the church's lost superpower, how stress and algorithms are quietly killing your imagination, and what it actually takes to unlock creativity in yourself, your team, and your church.

If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD (or you suspect they might have it) this episode will change the way you see them. Dr. Lisa Damour and Reena Ninan revisit their candid, funny, and genuinely moving conversation with Penn and Kim Holderness — viral content creators, bestselling authors, podcasters, and authors of “ADHD is Awesome: A Guide to (Mostly) Thriving With ADHD.” Together, they strip away the shame, explain what it really feels like to have ADHD, and give parents a practical, strengths-based roadmap for helping their kids thrive at home and at school.

Sometimes the most powerful tool isn't doing more—it's pausing before you react. Episode #263

The anti-aging industry is a $59 billion business built on creams, serums, injections, IV drips, and stem cell tourism, and almost all of it is being sold from the outside in, as the actual aging is happening at the level of your DNA, your mitochondria, and the cellular pathways that decide whether your cells protect themselves or wear themselves down over time. Inside today's episode, I walk through the 80/20 breakdown on longevity that most people aren't getting, starting with the identical twin research showing aging is roughly 20% genetic and 80% lifestyle, and the shift in the field from the oxidative stress theory to the current information theory of aging.Topics discussed: - Genetics vs Lifestyle in Aging- The Nine Hallmarks of Aging- The Information Theory of Aging- Sirtuins, AMPK, and mTOR- The Rhythm Between Growth and Repair- Chronological vs Biological Age- Methylation Clocks and Telomere Length- Nutrition, Fasting, and Training Interventions- Sleep, Stress, and Community---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

What happens when walking into a room means absorbing every ounce of tension, distress, and unsaid emotion inside it?Many of us are taught that great leadership requires carrying the emotional weight of our teams. We step in to smooth things over, fix conflicts that aren't ours to solve, and mistake constant rescue missions for true connection. The result isn't better leadership, it is exhaustion.In this episode, Amy sits down with global emotional intelligence and empathy expert Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller to map out a clear blueprint for protecting your energy without shutting out your humanity. Drawing from her raw pivot point out of a toxic workplace environment and later experiencing those same broken patterns in other work spaces, Dr. Melissa shares the definitive distinction between reading a room and taking responsibility for it.This conversation is a radical reframe on human connection. You will discover how to stand in your own power, deploy data-backed perspective-taking, and implement the boundaries necessary to stop treating everyone else's distress as your circus to fix.Moments That Create Momentum:The "Not My Circus" Rule: Why walking into a room and feeling everyone else's tension isn't a gift, it's a boundary failure that is secretly draining you.The Revenue Shield: The deeply unsettling reason why elite organizations intentionally protect toxic high-performers and narcissists.The Empathy Illusion: Dr. Melissa shares why empathy is passive, and how jumping straight into "fixing" things actually triggers misplaced, destructive compassion.The Danger of Being "Nice": Why standard corporate manners are often just a mask for insincerity, and the reason true kindness requires telling the ugly truth.The Self-Rescue Mandate: Why launching into service for others before mastering self-empathy is a fast track to destroying your own career.About the Guest:As professional musician, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller worked with major talent such as Ray Charles, David Ogden Stiers, and Mannheim Steamroller. But cold and toxic leadership eventually robbed her of a career that was 30+ years in the making. However, that incident inspired Dr. Melissa to transform leadership as we know it by redefining the one element that most leaders miss: empathy. Today, she's an international bestselling author, Editor's Pick TEDx speaker, EQ and empathy coach, and leading voice on emotional intelligence and empathy. She's known for blending lived experience, academic depth, and a sharp, data-driven approach that not only makes sense but demystifies how empathy translates to better productivity, innovation, and profit. Her mission is to invite everyone to approach empathy as a strategic skill for every human-centric action, not only for others but also for ourselves, and to step up in the way the future of leadership demands.https://eqviaempathy.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-melissa-a-robinson-winemiller-author-speaker-trainerhttps://www.instagram.com/empathyqueen.eqhttps://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpathicLeaderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoXSEWeILo&t=63shttps://geni.us/TheEmpathicLeaderAbout Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

In this episode of Dismantling You, I sit down with Dr. Drew Tortoriello, Medical Director at Sher Fertility, to demystify one of the most misunderstood options in reproductive medicine: intrauterine insemination (IUI). We dig into why IUI is often the right first step for couples facing unexplained infertility, how a thoughtful, non-aggressive approach can lead to better outcomes, and why knowing your numbers matters long before you ever think you'll need a fertility specialist. Dr. Tortoriello brings both deep clinical expertise and a refreshing honesty about the limits of medicine, reminding us that even the best science cannot guarantee outcomes.We also explore what proactive reproductive health really looks like in your 20s and 30s, the role of egg freezing as a hedge against future infertility, and why stress alone does not cause infertility (despite what the headlines say). Dr. Tortoriello shares his perspective on the emotional grieving process so many couples experience, the importance of patient education, and what genuine self-care looks like for a physician at the top of his field. Whether you're actively trying to conceive, planning ahead, or simply curious about what reproductive endocrinology really involves, this conversation will give you a clearer, calmer framework for understanding your options.Key Highlights

When we hear the word stress, most of us think of fear, anxiety, or overwhelm. But stress isn't always negative. In fact, stress is a normal and necessary part of life—for both humans and dogs.In this episode of DogSpeak: Redefining Dog Training, Nikki Ivey explores the many forms of stress, from positive stress that helps dogs learn and grow to chronic and traumatic stress that can impact behavior, health, and overall well-being. You'll learn why two dogs can experience the same event in completely different ways and how genetics, learning history, environment, and individual perception shape a dog's response to stress.Nikki also introduces the fascinating field of Affective Neuroscience and the work of Jaak Panksepp, whose research helped identify the primary emotional systems shared by mammals. From SEEKING and PLAY to FEAR, CARE, and PANIC/GRIEF, you'll discover how emotions drive behavior and why understanding what a dog is feeling is often more important than focusing on what a dog is doing.If you've ever wondered why some dogs struggle with reactivity, frustration, anxiety, or recovery from stressful events, this episode will help you look beyond behavior and into the emotional experiences shaping it.Because behavior is often the symptom—but emotion is the story underneath.WebsiteOnline ContentSubstack

How often do you find yourself treating the lab results instead of the person sitting in front of you? In this episode of the IRH Clinician's Corner, Margaret Floyd Barry is joined by Andrea Nakayama, a functional medicine nutritionist and narrative medicine practitioner renowned for her ability to bridge systems biology with the lived experience of illness. Andrea shares the deeply personal story that ignited her passion for personalized medicine—her late husband's battle with brain cancer—and how this journey revealed critical gaps in the medical system, from treating people as their diagnosis to the pitfalls of one-size-fits-all protocols. Andrea takes us through her pioneering approach to functional nutrition and her evolution into narrative medicine, where the client's story and context become as essential as their lab results. Inside this episode, we explore: Why the most valuable clinical data may come from a client's story, not their lab results How narrative medicine helps practitioners uncover patterns that physiology alone cannot explain The hidden risks of becoming overly reliant on biomarkers, wearables, and external validation Why complex chronic illness often requires curiosity and presence more than increasingly complicated protocols How identity, life transitions, and personal history can influence both illness and healing What it means to move from trying to "fix" clients to walking alongside them as a guide and partner in their health journey If you've ever wondered why some clients know exactly what to do but still struggle to follow through, this free conversation is for you. Join Margaret Floyd Barry and Ishbel Cavaleri on July 14 as they explore the missing link between great protocols and lasting results. You'll discover how beliefs, mindset, and the stories clients tell themselves can influence compliance, consistency, and outcomes far more than another supplement or protocol tweak.

Navigating grief, solo parenting, and her own autoimmune diagnosis, she turned to systems biology to understand the body and narrative medicine to hold the rest. That personal search grew into the Functional Nutrition Alliance, an acquired multi-million-dollar health ed-tech company training thousands of practitioners worldwide. Today she advises at the intersection of functional nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and narrative medicine — with a focus on women in midlife and beyond.    Keywords: functional medicine, narrative medicine, personalized medicine, chronic disease, clinical skills, lab testing, functional nutrition, patient care, symptom suppression, systems biology, health coaching, client compliance, menopause, hormone therapy, women's health, health industry, storytelling in healthcare, trauma-informed care, lifestyle modification, blood sugar balance, adrenal testing, identity and illness, practitioner-patient relationship, nervous system regulation, autoimmunity, complex chronic cases, evidence-based strategies, qualitative data, quantitative data, patient-centered care, health span Disclaimer: The views expressed in the IRH Clinician's Corner series are those of the individual speakers and interviewees, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institute of Restorative Health, LLC.

You're getting things done, but at what cost?

In this episode, we cover: The biological definition of stress and why it's not the enemy you think it is The 3 stages of stress: Anticipation, Coping, and Exhaustion and how to identify where you are The sleep paradox: why 8 hours of rest still leaves high performers waking up depleted Why high achievers are the most vulnerable to burnout and why it hits them the hardest The science of recovery: why growth never happens during stress, only after it How to engineer micro-recovery moments into your day without losing productivity The IMPACT Framework: a 60-second reset practice to ground your nervous system anywhere, anytime Ready to stop running on empty? Take the 7-day challenge: find one friction point in your day and add a micro-recovery moment before it. Then share this episode with a high performer in your life who needs to hear this.

What if the reason tracking macros isn't working anymore has nothing to do with your discipline? In this episode, I break down one of the most common frustrations I hear from women: "I used to track macros, lose weight, and see results. Now I do the exact same thing and nothing happens.".  I want to share the story of how I once believed macros were the magic solution to fat loss, only to realize they were never the answer. They were simply a tool. We'll talk about why there is no perfect macro split, how the body constantly adapts to what we do, and why staying on the same nutrition plan for months or years can actually become part of the problem. I explain how functional nutrition often involves strategically changing calories, carbohydrates, fats, and protein to stay ahead of those adaptations rather than fighting against them. You'll learn why there may be a time for low-carb eating, a time for higher calories, a time for lower protein, and a time for a more balanced approach. Most importantly, we'll discuss how understanding macros can still be incredibly valuable when they're used within the right context. Today, I personally track my macros, not to lose weight, but to make sure I'm eating enough and maintaining the right balance for my current season of life.  If you've been wondering why your old nutrition strategy isn't producing the same results anymore, this episode will help you understand what changed and how to start working with your body instead of against it.   Time Stamps:   (1:47) Life Updates (3:06) My Macro Tracking Journey (4:47) Why Macro Tracking Gets A Bad Rap (8:22) Recent Client Example (12:32) Where To Start --------------------- 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?

For decades, we've been told to fear the sun. Avoid it. Cover up. Stay indoors. Apply sunscreen constantly. But what if one of the most powerful forces shaping human health has been misunderstood? In this eye-opening conversation, Darin Olien sits down with award-winning journalist and author Rowan Jacobsen to explore the surprising science of sunlight, longevity, vitamin D, cardiovascular health, immune regulation, circadian rhythms, and the unintended consequences of our growing fear of the sun. Drawing from decades of research and Rowan's extensive investigation for his new book, they unpack why sun exposure is linked to lower rates of chronic disease, how sunlight influences everything from blood pressure to inflammation, why vitamin D supplementation isn't the same as sunlight, and how modern indoor lifestyles may be creating what researchers call "biological darkness." This conversation challenges conventional wisdom and offers a more nuanced, science-backed understanding of our relationship with the sun.     What You'll Learn Why sunlight may be one of the most misunderstood health factors today The surprising connection between sun exposure and longevity How sunlight impacts blood pressure and cardiovascular health Why vitamin D supplements are not the same as sunlight The discovery of sunlight-triggered compounds beyond vitamin D How nitric oxide production lowers blood pressure Why sunlight plays a critical role in immune regulation The concept of "biological darkness" and modern indoor living How sunlight regulates circadian rhythms, sleep, and recovery Why skin tone dramatically changes sunlight requirements The dangers of both overexposure and underexposure Practical guidelines for developing a healthier relationship with the sun     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste Bits 00:02:50 – Introducing Rohan Jacobsen 00:03:22 – Why we've been taught to fear the sun 00:04:02 – Rohan's new book and questioning conventional wisdom 00:05:02 – How evolutionary biology challenges the anti-sun narrative 00:08:14 – The MIT fellowship that changed everything 00:09:13 – The blood pressure studies that sparked his investigation 00:10:15 – Sun exposure, longevity, and chronic disease 00:11:19 – Why skin cancer isn't the whole story 00:13:04 – Science, reductionism, and missing the bigger picture 00:14:16 – The surprising mortality tradeoff of avoiding sunlight 00:17:01 – Understanding sensible sun exposure 00:18:24 – Vitamin D and what supplements miss 00:19:44 – Twenty different compounds produced by sunlight 00:21:06 – Nitric oxide and blood pressure regulation 00:23:03 – The skin as an observatory 00:24:24 – Biological darkness and life indoors 00:26:13 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:28:11 – Circadian rhythms and the power of daylight 00:30:11 – Lux levels and why indoor light isn't enough 00:32:02 – The epidemic of biological darkness 00:33:42 – Sunlight, inflammation, and chronic disease 00:35:33 – Multiple sclerosis and the sunlight connection 00:36:10 – Why humans constantly overcorrect 00:38:05 – Sun exposure as exercise for your skin 00:39:53 – Stress adaptation and resilience 00:42:20 – Practical guidelines for healthy sun exposure 00:43:24 – Why burning is the real danger 00:44:06 – Skin tone, melanin, and individualized recommendations 00:46:03 – Why darker skin requires more sun exposure 00:46:51 – Australia's evolving sunlight guidelines 00:48:16 – Vitamin D production and skin pigmentation 00:49:30 – Darin's personal relationship with the sun 00:51:11 – Training your skin for resilience 00:52:00 – Reclaiming joy and confidence in sunlight 00:53:24 – Seasonal darkness and modern life 00:54:19 – Challenging outdated health narratives 00:55:57 – Rohan's work with cacao and medicinal plants 00:57:00 – The endocannabinoid system and cacao 00:57:58 – Standing in truth and questioning assumptions 00:58:30 – Final thoughts and gratitude     Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Rowan Jacobsen Website: rowanjacobsen.com Instagram: @unrealrowanjacobsen Book: In Defense of Sunlight     Find More from Darin Olien: Website: darinolien.com Instagram: @darinolien Book: Fatal Conveniences Platform & Products: superlife.com New Show: Roadmap to Happiness     Key Takeaway "The sun is not simply a source of vitamin D—it's a master regulator of human biology. From blood pressure and inflammation to sleep, immunity, cognition, and longevity, sunlight acts as a critical environmental signal that helps orchestrate countless systems throughout the body. The question isn't whether we should fear the sun or worship it. The question is whether we've forgotten how to live in relationship with one of the very forces that helped shape us." 

What if one of the most important health crises affecting men today wasn't being caused by aging, but by the environment we live in? In this eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien investigates the alarming decline in testosterone levels, fertility, and reproductive health among men worldwide. Drawing on decades of research, epidemiological studies, environmental science, endocrinology, and public health data, Darin examines the growing evidence connecting endocrine-disrupting chemicals, microplastics, sleep deprivation, chronic stress, poor lifestyle habits, and environmental toxins to declining testosterone levels across generations. From BPA, phthalates, atrazine, PFAS, and microplastics to sleep quality, circadian rhythms, cholesterol metabolism, cortisol regulation, and natural testosterone-supporting strategies, this episode explores what may be one of the most underreported public health issues of our time—and what men can do to take control of their health today.     What You'll Learn Why testosterone levels have been declining for decades The startling research on global sperm count decline How endocrine-disrupting chemicals interfere with hormone production Why BPA and phthalates may disrupt testosterone synthesis The role of atrazine, PFAS, and environmental toxins How chronic stress diverts resources away from testosterone production Why sleep may be the most important testosterone intervention The connection between cholesterol and hormone production How microplastics are being found throughout the human body The surprising relationship between statins and testosterone levels Natural lifestyle strategies that support healthy hormone production Practical steps to reduce environmental exposure and improve health     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:17 – The testosterone collapse explained 00:04:51 – Testosterone levels have been declining for decades 00:06:03 – Global sperm count decline and accelerating trends 00:07:02 – Why treating symptoms misses the root cause 00:07:27 – The hidden public health crisis 00:08:03 – Why low testosterone isn't just about aging 00:09:12 – Why hormone health affects longevity 00:09:53 – Low testosterone and increased mortality risk 00:10:35 – Testosterone's role in metabolism and cardiovascular health 00:11:27 – Endocrine-disrupting chemicals and hormone disruption 00:12:44 – BPA and its effects on testosterone production 00:13:59 – Phthalates and their impact on hormone pathways 00:16:00 – Glyphosate, atrazine, and pesticide exposure 00:17:07 – PFAS and reproductive health concerns 00:17:55 – Environmental toxins and population-wide effects 00:18:11 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:20:02 – Cholesterol and hormone production 00:20:53 – Chronic stress and cortisol dominance 00:21:45 – Actionable solutions begin 00:21:56 – Why sleep is essential for testosterone production 00:23:07 – How sleep deprivation rapidly lowers testosterone 00:23:21 – Light pollution and circadian disruption 00:23:41 – Foods and nutrients needed for hormone health 00:24:23 – Microplastics and testicular tissue 00:24:53 – Statins and unintended hormonal consequences 00:25:39 – A practical testosterone sovereignty protocol 00:25:48 – Water filtration and reducing toxic exposure 00:26:13 – Eliminating plastics and fragrance chemicals 00:26:35 – Why organic food matters 00:26:45 – Sunlight and vitamin D 00:27:05 – Magnesium, omega-3s, and iodine 00:27:26 – Pine pollen and natural androgen support 00:28:01 – Tongkat Ali and ashwagandha 00:28:48 – Strength training and lifestyle interventions 00:29:10 – Habits that naturally support testosterone 00:29:27 – Darin's approach to healthy aging 00:29:37 – Plants, herbs, and common sense 00:29:51 – Reclaiming your health and sovereignty 00:30:00 – Final thoughts and closing message     Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It may be a reflection of the modern environment itself—one increasingly saturated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress, poor sleep, circadian disruption, and toxic exposures. While many of these forces feel outside our control, the encouraging reality is that many of the most powerful interventions remain accessible: improving sleep, reducing toxic load, eating whole foods, getting sunlight, managing stress, exercising regularly, and reclaiming responsibility for our health. The goal isn't fear. The goal is awareness—and action."     Bibliography/Sources: The Decline — Primary Research Levine, H., Jørgensen, N., Martino-Andrade, A., et al. (2022).
