Three episode takeaways: How to be intentional with your affiliate strategy and deep linking — By using deep linking on the Amazon affiliate links she shares, Mary has boosted her conversion rate from 5% to 21%, a massive jump that now brings in around $100/day in revenue. She recommends using tools strategically to lower costs, like applying deep links only on Instagram, and doubling down on what converts. How to use tools to bring social followers into your email ecosystem — Switching from ManyChat to Grocers List helped Mary streamline subscriber growth and increase engagement (the “save to email” feature led to 3,000 new subscribers in just a few months)! Mary also explains her process for creating and promoting an ebook opt-in on Instagram. How to make weekly meal plans for your email list — One of the ways Mary has added value for her email subscribers is by sending out a weekly Friday morning email with a meal plan for her subscribers with a curated grocery list.

You might be a bass player who owns more than one bass, but has had difficulty switching between them. You are not alone! This was me for the longest time. I used to be so tied to one specific instrument that I missed out on a lot of opportunities to play music. I've since shed that security blanket and am sharing the process in today's episode as I highlight how much easier it has become to switch between 4 very different basses.The Vital Information East Coast tour starts tomorrow, all dates are linked below.

Episode Overview  Jennifer Raams, coach with Practice Freedom U, joins Tracy to discuss the critical role of emotional intelligence (EQ) in healthcare practice management. This conversation explores how self-awareness, stress management, and intentional leadership create thriving practices where both providers and patients flourish.  Key Highlights  The Inner Game of Practice Management  Stressed practitioners create stressed practices - it shows up in patient interactions, team dynamics, and business performance  The importance of moving from reactive to responsive leadership through self-awareness  How clinical excellence skills can become business liabilities without proper emotional regulation  The Flourishing Zone Framework  Green zone: flourishing state where leaders show up intentionally  Red zone: defensive/attack mode that damages relationships and decision-making  Frozen zone: low energy state that leads to stagnation and burnout  Goal: Spend 80% of time in the green zone using practical tools and awareness  Leadership as Nervous System Regulation  Culture isn't built through workshops - it's created through how you show up moment by moment  The power of presence: being able to "read the room" and respond appropriately to team needs  Switching between clinical and business "hats" to maintain appropriate focus  Practical EQ Tools  Two key questions for fear-based thinking: "Where do I choose to put my attention?" and "Where do I have influence?"  The power of curiosity over defensiveness in difficult situations  Simple physical shifts (changing hands, standing/sitting) to interrupt triggered states  Memorable Quotes  "If you're not okay, your business is going to suffer, period."  "Culture is not a workshop - it's how you show up every single moment."  "The biggest stress contributor is when you feel you have no control and no influence."  "We only have this second. What am I choosing intentionally to do now about it?"  "When your people are flourishing, your business is thriving. There's no way around it."  "Every skill, every behavior is learned - it's a skill you can learn and also unlearn."  Key Takeaways  Start with self-awareness: Recognize your triggers, stress levels, and default responses before trying to manage others  Invest early in leadership development: Building culture, systems, and leadership teams takes time - don't wait until you're scaling  Focus on what you can control: When overwhelmed, return to the basics of where you put your attention and where you have influence  Make coaching a priority: Having a confidential sounding board accelerates growth and prevents costly mistakes  Think beyond the clinical hat: Practice owners must develop the ability to shift between provider and CEO mindsets  This episode emphasizes that sustainable practice success requires more than clinical expertise - it demands emotional intelligence, intentional leadership, and the courage to invest in personal development alongside business growth.  Bio:  Jennifer Raams is an entrepreneur and business coach who arrived in Hawaii with just a suitcase, a physical therapy diploma, and $2,000, ultimately building a thriving PT business that empowers leaders to scale with purpose. As a coach with Practice Freedom U, she specializes in leadership development, strategic growth, and succession planning.

Picture this: it's late at night, the kids are asleep, and you find yourself reaching for those irresistible cookies while pondering why you never wear headphones. This episode kicks off with such mischievous moments before we dive headlong into the fascinating history of the US dollar's detachment from the gold standard in 1971, and why cash might feel a little less jingly in your pocket these days. We then tackle the sports world, light-heartedly debating whether Tom Brady's mega-net-worth warrants his frequent appearances in advertisements, and how we find ourselves throwing around terms like hat tricks, turkeys, and three-peats in everyday conversation. Switching lanes, our discussion turns to the roaring engines of luxury cars and the rugged allure of trucks like the Ford F-250. We revel in the practical versus the posh, exploring how our choices on the road reflect our lifestyles and aspirations. Music lovers will find resonance as we navigate the evolving soundscape, from Morgan Wallen's country charm to the groundbreaking rhythms of Kendrick Lamar and Tyler the Creator. Alongside, we muse over the changing musical landscape and our personal taste shifts, raising questions about whether it's the artists or we who have evolved. As the conversation broadens, we reflect on the intricacies of immigration policies, sharing personal anecdotes and insights into the challenges faced by those in pursuit of the American Dream. From the rocky terrain of geopolitical conflicts to the serene greens of a golf course, we traverse a multitude of engaging topics. And just when you think we've covered it all, we discuss home renovations, the prospect of building a golf simulator, and the legalities of home defense. Join us on this eclectic journey, where humor, history, and heartfelt stories blend seamlessly to create a podcast episode that's as diverse as it is dynamic.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions kicks off in a week – we expect as always to get a lot of information! I'm not covering in person this year, but I'll bring you any big announcements. And we'll do a wrap up In the News the following week. -- XX UVA with something new.. technology that allows an artificial pancreas system to adapt to users' changing needs – and lets users adjust the settings – beyond what's commercially available now. They're calling this “adaptive biobehavioral control,” the technology helps fine-tune UVA's artificial pancreas every two weeks, giving users a virtual tool to test different ways to manage their blood sugar using their own data. In a six-month study, participants using the technology spent more time in a healthy blood-sugar range, rising from 72% to 77%, and saw a small but meaningful drop in their average blood-sugar levels. While automated insulin delivery systems help users better manage Type 1 diabetes, adaptive biobehavioral control technology is designed to improve blood-sugar control during the day, when fluctuations occur more frequently due to meals and physical activity. This new technology uses “digital twins,” computer models simulating how a person's body processes sugar. The models help the artificial pancreas keep up with changes in the user's body and habits and give users a way to interact with the system. For example, users can try different settings, like how much insulin is released overnight, using the simulation before applying them in real life. https://news.virginia.edu/content/uvas-artificial-pancreas-uses-digital-twin-tech-improve-diabetes-control XX Five years later after COVID-19 his the US, a new study shows that there is a connection with type 1 diabetes triggers. This is  new research from the University of Utah published in the journal ImmunoInformatics.   With T1D in particular, a COVID infection appears to trigger the immune system of certain people who have a prior susceptibility to the condition to subsequently develop T1D symptoms, the new study suggests.   University of Utah researchers hypothesize that COVID is leading to T1D diagnoses in a roundabout way as the virus presents the body with “molecular mimics,” or fragments of COVID proteins that bear an uncanny resemblance to those beta cell antigens.   When a person is infected with COVID, the immune system not only attacks fragments of the viral protein but also attacks fragments of beta cell antigens because they look so similar and get mistaken for each other, explains lead study author Julio Facelli, Ph.D., a distinguished professor of biomedical informatics at University of Utah Health in Salt Lake City. That means that in people who are already predisposed to T1D, there may be a simultaneous autoimmune reaction involving the destruction of healthy beta cells, spurring the onset of type 1 diabetes. Both 2022 and 2024 research indicates that there has been a significant increase in new onset type 1 diabetes following the start of the COVID pandemic. It's difficult to estimate just how many cases may have been triggered by COVID because numerous viruses, including rotavirus, measles, mumps, and rubella, can spark an autoimmune response that activates T1D, according to the 2022 research published in Immunology & Cell Biology.   Again, it's important to note that researchers don't believe a COVID infection is causing diabetes, but rather, triggering it, in the same way certain environmental factors are believed to trigger immune-mediated conditions like Crohn's and psoriasis. “   https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/how-covid-might-trigger-t1d XX Insulet announces the Omnipod® 5 App for iPhone is now compatible with the Dexcom G7. Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President, Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer. “With the addition of the Dexcom G7 sensor to the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone, our U.S. customers have more choice with fewer devices to keep track of, making it easier than ever to manage their diabetes.” The Omnipod 5 App with Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 compatibility is now available for download on the Apple App Store. Switching to a new Omnipod 5 device will require you to go through First Time Setup again. Insulin delivery history from previous Pods will be lost when you switch to your new device and adaptivity will start over. Use this guide and video to help transfer your settings: Omnipod also announced a collaboration with Marvel.. on an original comic to celebrate representation for the diabetes community and empower people with diabetes to unleash their inner hero. “Dyasonic: Sound of Strength” features Omnya, who was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, struggles with her management, and is prescribed an insulin pump. Omnya learns that when her glucose levels are in range she can take on anything, and anyone, and transforms into the comic's hero, Dyasonic! The hope is that readers will be able to see themselves overcoming these same challenges and break mental barriers to adopting technology with the potential for improved outcomes and quality of life. D'Spayre is a Marvel villain who preys on victims who are in despair, using their fear to strengthen himself—akin to the negative emotions that can come with diabetes. Insulet remains dedicated to advancing diabetes technology and improving the lives of people with diabetes. For more information, please visit https://www.omnipod.com/innovation. XX Tandem is the latest partner for Abbot's future Glucose-Ketone Sensor. New agreement to develop and commercialize integrated diabetes solutions that combine Abbott's future dual glucose-ketone sensor with Tandem's innovative insulin delivery systems to provide more options for people to manage their diabetes. The Abbott sensor, currently under development, will combine glucose and ketone sensing technology that aims to help people living with diabetes detect early ketone rise to avoid life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis. Sequel Med Tech is also partnering with Abbott on this, as part of the twist pump, launching later this year. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/TNDM/tandem-diabetes-care-announces-agreement-with-abbott-for-integration-xl1vug3c0axy.html   XX New guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes include tools clinicians can use to help patients stick to lifestyle interventions.   A panel of practitioners working in lifestyle medicine, including primary care physicians, cardiologists, endocrinologists, sleep experts, dietitians, and exercise medicine specialists, laid out six areas clinicians should help patients manage. These include sleep and stress, nutrition, physical activity, tobacco and alcohol, and social connection. The guidelines, released on June 10 by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), largely mirror lifestyle guidelines by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) but add specifics about how clinicians can help patients achieve their goals. Each patient should still receive tailored counseling, which may include medication   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-guidelines-shift-diabetes-care-toward-behavior-2025a1000fht XX Microplastics from a widely used biodegradable material can enter the metabolic cycle of bacteria and cells in the gut after being ingested, a new study has found. Researchers in China and the United States said the microplastics – from polylactic acid – were found to alter the gut metabolism and damage the gut barrier of mice.   They said this could potentially contribute to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and diabetes. In recent years, microplastics have been found in human lungs, kidneys, blood, placenta and breast milk.   https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3313412/microplastics-biodegradable-material-may-be-linked-diabetes-study-finds XX ​​Over 19,000 cases of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar are being recalled after the cans were found to contain full-sugar soda, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced. The voluntary recall, initiated May 23, affects 12-pack and 24-pack cases of the 12-ounce aluminum cans that are labeled “Dr Pepper Zero Sugar.” Despite the label, the drinks inside contain the same amount of sugar found in regular Dr Pepper — about 39 grams per can — posing a health risk for people with diabetes or anyone needing to limit sugar intake. On Thursday, June 5, the FDA officially classified the recall as Class II, meaning the product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." DR PEPPER ZERO SUGAR - 12 OZ, 12 PK DR PEPPER ZERO SUGAR - 12 OZ, 12 PK.  Amazon Consumers can identify the recalled cases by the product code, which is listed as  XXXXRS05165, and the "best by" date of Feb. 16, 2026   No other Dr Pepper products or batches of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar are part of the recall. https://people.com/dr-pepper-recall-sugar-found-in-zero-sugar-cans-11750981     XX A step forward for a device that uses breath to gather information about blood sugar. It's called Isaac, the company is PreEvnt, you wear it on a lanyard and breathe into it. The breathalyzer technology was developed in collaboration with the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute at IU Indianapolis, and was inspired by diabetes alert dogs. "Our lab was able to successfully identify the specific molecules in breath that correlate with hypoglycemia, which is the 'scent' that diabetic alert dogs can detect," said Mangilal Agarwal, director of the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute and a professor in the IU Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering at IU Indianapolis. Agarwal's lab is partnering with the IU School of Medicine to test and validate the effectiveness of the device in individuals with diabetes—an important next step on the path to wider commercialization. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-06-breathalyzer-device-diabetes.html#google_vignette XX Katie Bone is back on American Ninja Warrior! The youngest ever American Ninja Warrior Women's National winner, she injured her knee at Olympic Climbing Trials in 2023. This week, she was back on the show. She says: Katie Bone: It was incredible. I've not been able to compete for a few years, so getting to come back and hit a buzzer on my first chance back on the course felt really, really incredible; Very rewarding after everything I had to go through to get back there.

In this episode of the Great Debate Show, host JJ dives into the latest blunders in the world of sports, focusing primarily on the mishaps of the New York Knicks and the Cincinnati Bengals. JJ critiques the Knicks for their perplexing head coach search strategy, highlighting their inability to secure desired interviews with top coaches like Jason Kidd, Chris Finch, and Ime Udoka. The question looms: who will lead the Knicks as their coaching options dwindle? Switching to the NFL, the discussion shifts to the Cincinnati Bengals, where contract disputes with key defensive players Trey Hendrickson and rookie Shamar Stewart are causing strife.

Last night, the Indiana Pacers stunned the basketball world with a thrilling 111-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals. Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning shot capped a dramatic 15-point fourth-quarter comeback, marking Indiana's fifth such rally this postseason. Pascal Siakam led with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Obi Toppin's 17 points off the bench sparked the upset. The Pacers' relentless pace and clutch play set the tone for a competitive series, proving their underdog status is no fluke. Switching to baseball, the Cincinnati Reds face a critical weekend series against the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park. The Reds, hovering around .500, are fighting to stay in the NL Central race. After a rollercoaster May, where they split series against strong teams like the Dodgers and Braves, Cincinnati needs consistency. Their offense, led by Elly De La Cruz's speed and Jonathan India's on-base skills, has shown flashes of brilliance but struggles with runners in scoring position, batting just .240 in those spots this season. The Cubs, sitting third in the division, are a tough matchup. Their pitching staff, anchored by Shota Imanaga (2.95 ERA), has been stingy, allowing the third-fewest runs in the NL. Chicago's lineup, powered by Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki, thrives on exploiting mistakes, making Cincinnati's pitching staff—prone to wildness—vulnerable. Reds starter Hunter Greene (3.45 ERA) takes the mound Friday, aiming to set the tone with his high-90s fastball. However, his command issues (4.1 BB/9) could be costly against the disciplined Cubs. Saturday's matchup features Nick Lodolo, whose breakout 2025 (3.12 ERA, 9.5 K/9) has been a bright spot for Cincinnati. He'll face Chicago's Justin Steele, a lefty who's limited opponents to a .220 average. The Reds must capitalize early, as the Cubs' bullpen ranks among the league's best. Sunday's finale pits Andrew Abbott against Kyle Hendricks, where Cincinnati's ability to work counts could decide the game. The Reds need at least two wins to gain ground in the division. De La Cruz's base-stealing (35 SB) and Spencer Steer's power (15 HR) will be key. Defensively, Cincinnati must tighten up after recent errors cost them games. Expect a high-energy series with playoff implications, as both teams vie for postseason

Despite entering college as a pre-med major, Corey Layne Crouch '13 found her calling in the classroom after working as a teacher's aide for a kindergarten class. Switching majors, she set out on a path to transform the education system from within. Corey's entrepreneurial mindset in her work as a high school English teacher and school principal led her to Rice's Professional MBA program. Now, she's the chief program officer for AI for Education — an organization providing AI literacy training to educators and championing responsible use of AI in the education ecosystem. In this episode, Corey joins host Maya Pomroy '22 to chat about her pivots from pre-med to English to her current role as an educational tech executive — as well as her time at Rice Business, the importance of supporting AI literacy and the innovative ways she's influenced the education system. Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Corey Layne Crouch02:15 From Pre-Med to Kindergarten Teacher05:21 Teach for America and Moving to Houston08:23 Becoming a Principal and Pursuing an MBA17:04 Transition to EdTech and AI in Education25:07 Challenges and Misconceptions of AI in Schools30:26 Future of Education with AI38:22 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On building AI literacy through tool-agnostic workshops[30:26] Maya Pomroy: So, tell me some of the work that you do — because AI for Education is really tackling one of the, I mean, this is one of the biggest shifts in modern learning.[31:41] Corey Layne Crouch: So we provide workshops and thing that we do, as well as that we're tool agnostic. We do have opinions about tools and where, you know, what's safe and what's fit for purpose, and what we think isn't quite yet, and how to integrate it in that way. 'Cause the technology is going to continue to evolve, but we really believe a foundation of which is rooted in durable skills, right, of critical thinking, and evaluation and understanding the best tool for a job and how to be community oriented. That is the work that we do. And, of course, we teach people how to use the tools and drive towards outcomes with them while we're laying that foundation as well.How Houston's education scene inspired Corey's bold, equitable innovation07:16: Houston is such a great city, as you know, to be a young professional in and, and to start your career, let alone having the opportunity to be a part of the thriving, innovative education landscape there. I really think that it helped me think much bigger about what it meant to be an education and what was possible with innovation, and really moving the needle toward equity and supporting communities that historically, you know, weren't being serviced in the way that they deserved.Why entrepreneurship skills is essential for an AI-driven world32:46: I really believe that students need entrepreneurial skills, and not necessarily because every student is going to go off and start their own business per se, but at the root of it, entrepreneurial skills is about, you know, understanding what you're trying to drive to, or what's the job to be done, seeing what's the diagnosis, what are the challenges, or, you know, opportunities to do better, and then understanding the resources that you have, and moving forward with strategy, as if it's a puzzle piece and, you know, it's strategy, but it's also about just seeing that opportunity and having the confidence and the belief in your own critical thinking, your own resourcefulness, and your ability to collaborate and build relationship with others in order to solve a problem or drive something forward.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Corey Layne Crouch | AI for EducationCorey on LinkedIn

How To Kick the Snooze Button Habit:Waking up several times interrupts and fragments sleep, which means you'll cycle back and forth between light, non restorative sleep and being awake, which isn't restful.It can leave you feeling tired and groggy when you finally get out of bed.It reinforces bad sleep habitsOn top of not feeling rested, alert and at your best, the sleep expert points out that consistently not getting enough sleep can raise the risk of weight gain, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders and even dementia.Fortunately, you can break the sleep-snooze cycle by:Making sure you're getting enough sleep to feel truly rested, which is between seven and eight hours a night for most folks.Sticking to a consistent sleep schedule, which Auckley notes is easier if you time to rise to when your internal body clock starts to wake you up.In the morning, try to resist hitting snooze and get up as soon as your alarm goes off.Getting morning light exposure as soon as possible when you wake up, which helps keep your internal clock in sync and improves alertness.Have a positive morning ritual to look forward to, whether it's enjoying freshly made coffee on your porch or catching up on sports scores.Things You Are Still Wasting Your Money On:ATM FeesIn 2025, paying ATM fees is almost a fool's errand. With so many online banks offering free ATM withdrawals and brick-and-mortar banks offering a large network of free ATMs or ATM fee reimbursement, paying several dollars a month is seemingly avoidable. Simply put, there's no reason to waste money on fees just to access your own cash so even if it takes planning ahead, make sure you omit this expense.Bottled WaterShockingly, people continue to spend money on bottled water, even given both the financial and environmental downfalls. If you don't trust your tap water, even the cost of installing a filter or having one in your fridge can make it worth your money in the long run. Stop paying for something you can essentially get for free and invest in a quality reusable water bottle for when you're on the go.Brand-Name MedicationsUnless you're specifically advised by your doctor, opting for brand-name medications over their generic counterparts is a pointless expenditure. Generic drugs have the same active ingredients and undergo the same quality control as their branded counterparts. Switching to generics can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually without compromising on health.Cable TV SubscriptionsThe world has moved on from traditional cable television, but many are still holding onto it — along with its hefty bill. Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ offer customizable viewing options for a fraction of the price and even bundling options. If you're still paying for a bloated cable package, it's time to cut the cord and switch to more budget-friendly entertainment options.Extended WarrantiesRetailers love to upsell extended warranties, but the truth is, they're seldom worth it. Most products are built to last for at least the length of their original warranty, and by the time they break, chances are you'd be looking to upgrade anyway. Instead of shelling out for extended warranties, set aside a small emergency fund for when things really go wrong.Fast FashionCheap, trendy clothing may seem like a good deal, but fast fashion is a money pit. These clothes are usually poorly made and fall apart after just a few wears, forcing you to constantly replenish your wardrobe in a never-ending cycle for your closet and nearest landfill. Instead, invest in quality, timeless pieces that last longer. You'll not only save money but also reduce your environmental footprint.Premium Gas for Non-Luxury CarsUnless your car specifically requires premium gasoline, you're throwing money away by filling up with it, especially when gas prices are already so high. Modern engines are designed to run efficiently on regular unleaded gas, and using premium won't give you any added benefits in performance. Stick to regular gas and watch your fuel expenses drop in what you pay at the pump.Overpriced Online Shopping on AmazonName-brand phone chargers, headphones, and other items can cost up to three times as much on Amazon when compared to other retailers or the product's own website. Check reviews before you add something to your cart as many will let you know if it's worth the cost. Don't be afraid to shop around, as varying sticker prices could shock you.Unused Gym MembershipsIn 2025, no matter your fitness resolutions, there's no reason to pay for a gym membership you're not using. With the explosion of online workout platforms, free YouTube fitness channels, and affordable apps, staying in shape no longer requires an expensive gym pass, particularly if you don't go regularly. If you're still paying for a membership you rarely use, it's time to cancel and explore the world of free digital fitness.What ER Doctors Bring On Vacation:Anti-nausea medication - “Always pack Zofran, just in case,” said Dr. Cedric Dark, associate professor of emergency medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. “The feeling of nausea and vomiting is one of the most hated things you could ever imagine and there's nothing over-the-counter that is that helpful.” Zofran is only available by prescription, but it dissolves under your tongue, so it works even when you can't really keep anything down.A bug zapper - Dr. Dark says standalone mosquito traps or a mosquito zapper racquet like the one he uses are must-haves for traveling somewhere tropical, where the insects can carry serious diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus and dengue fever.Tweezers - They're a fix for the far more simple, but common problem of splinters, and that's why tweezers are a travel essential for Dr. Joy Crook, associate professor of clinical emergency medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.Compression socks - The CDC warns that traveling for more than four hours by air, car or bus raises the risk of developing blood clots, but wearing compression socks can help lower that risk. That's why they're a go-to for Dr. Erin Muckey, associate professor of emergency medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.A portable charger - Dr. Eric Adkins, an emergency medicine physician at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, points out that you can't call for help or look up where the nearest pharmacy or hospital is with a dead phone battery, so he packs a portable charger.A carbon monoxide detector - Dr. Crook says this is a recent addition to her travel bag, since several stories of travelers dying from carbon monoxide poisoning have happened this year alone.Melatonin - Not sleeping well can weaken the immune system, which can make you more likely to get sick, but melatonin supplements can help “reset your internal clock,” according to Adkins, so you can snooze.Second Date Update: Dalia and Reggie go to the Mountain Winery to see Chris Isaak. She loved every minute. He has disappeared...was it her dancing?

Story at-a-glance A high-fat diet makes it easier for breast cancer to spread by activating clotting cells, increasing inflammation and altering blood vessels in ways that help tumors grow Mice on high-fat diets had nearly five times more cancer cells in their lungs, even when their tumors were the same size as leaner mice A high-fat diet increased fibronectin, which acts as "molecular glue" helping cancer cells attach to blood vessels, while obesity increases inflammatory compounds that worsen this buildup Switching to a normal-fat diet for just seven days significantly reduced clotting activity, fibronectin buildup and the number of cancer cells lodging in the lungs Eliminating vegetable oils and reducing total fat intake to 30% to 40% of daily calories lowers inflammation and reduces your risk of cancer spread

Well, this week I'm looking at why this happens and what you can do to prevent it.    You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The 2025 Summer Sale  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Time Sector System 5th Year Anniversary The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script | 372 Hello, and welcome to episode 372 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. If you have ever watched a Formula 1 race, it can be easy to believe that from the moment the lights go out and the race starts, the cars go flat out until the end of the race.  Ah, as if it were that simple.  The truth is if a team tried to do this, they would be guaranteed to lose the race.  Even though a race may only last ninety minutes, during the race the teams will need to conserve their tyres and fuel. Going flat out to the finish would degrade the tyres too quickly, which would mean they lose essential grip in the corners, and running out of fuel would be game over for a team.  You are like that Formula 1 car. When you start your day you have a limited amount of energy and your ability to focus needs to be managed through the day.  It's not physical energy. Your body has a way to utilise your fat reserves to help keep you out of danger when necessary, physically. It's your mental energy. That is limited. And it's a lack of mental energy that results in you making mistakes, procrastinating and being unable to make a decision about what to work on next.  It your mental energy that requires careful management each day. Getting home exhausted each day won't do very much for your relationships. You won't be in the mood to do very much, and having a conversation with your partner or kids won't be a top priority.  Yet, your family may have been waiting for you to get home to talk with you, play and just have some quality time.  The good news is it doesn't have to be that way. There are things you can do to preserve your mental energies so you arrive home feeling relaxed, fulfilled and ready to engage with your family.  However, before we get to how to do that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Matt. Matt asks, Hi Carl, do you have any ideas on how to stop feeling constantly tired and using the weekends just to recover before doing it all again on a Monday?  Hi Matt, thank you for your question.  If you are constantly feeling tired, my first advise would be to go see your doctor. A constant feeling of fatigue or tiredness could have an underlying reason and it's better to get that checked out first.  If, your doctor reports there are no underlying illnesses, then it's time to look at your lifestyle.  As I wrote in Your Time, Your Way, there are three areas you need to keep in balance. These are the foundations of any productive life.  They are: Sleep, movement and diet.  Are you getting enough sleep for you? We are all different when it comes to the amount of sleep we require. Some of you may work well on six hours, while others may require eight or nine hours sleep.  If you want to operate at your best each day, finding out how much sleep you need would be a first step.  For years I thought I only needed six hours of sleep. Yet when I did the test that Matthew Walker, the sleep doctor, suggested, I discovered I actually needed seven hours twenty minutes.  What is that test? I hear you ask. What you do is sleep with no alarm for seven days and calculate how much sleep you slept each night. Then you add the total number of hours you slept and divide that number by seven.  That will give you roughly the number of hours of sleep you need.  I did this experiment while I was on holiday—when I didn't have to wake up at any particular time. That way I had no anxiety about not waking up on time.  Now I make sure I get seven hours at a minimum. Movement does not mean you have to go to the gym or out running. If you look back to a time when fewer people were overweight, the 1950s for instance, there were very few gyms—and the gyms then were centred on specialised bodybuilding or competitive sports people.  You didn't see people jogging round parks either.  Instead, people moved more. They walked, took the stairs, manually cleaned their houses and were more active in general.  The statistics are shocking. In the 1950s, around 10% of the adult US population were classified as being overweight. That number was 6% in the UK.  In 2020, those numbers had increased to over 40% in the US and 38% in the UK.  While I know convenience is wonderful, it's also destroying our health. Humans were designed to move. We are not designed to spend as much as fifteen hours a day sitting down.  Your brain needs movement. This is why often you will find you come up with solutions to difficult problems when walking down a street or exercising.  Movement does so much more for you. It gives your brain a chance to reset, relax and more importantly these days, gets your eyes off the screen.  And then there is diet.  I am sure you re familiar with how you feel after a lunch high in carbohydrates. You feel drowsy, sluggish and sleepy. It even has a name; the afternoon slump.  If your diet is a mess—full of highly processed foods, sugars and carbohydrates, you are going to struggle to focus. You'll always be feeling tired, sluggish and exhausted.  Switching your diet to a healthier one, will do wonders for your overall productivity and mental energies.  So, get those three basic fundamentals of a productive day sorted first and you will see a significant improvement in your productivity and focus.  Next, though, is how we apply ourselves each day. In other words, how we manage our workloads.  Constantly switching your attention between designing a presentation or trying to figure out how to ask Chat GPT the right prompts so it gives you the answers you are looking for while a the same time responding to Slack or Teams messages will leave you completely wiped out in no time at all.  Your brain was not designed to be switching contexts in that way all day. It's called cognitive overload and while, perhaps, in the moment you don't recognise it, what you are doing is rapidly depleting your brain's capacity to make decisions, and remain focused on the job at hand.  It's the most inefficient way to go about your work.  The danger is it becomes addictive. I've seen in recent years this called “dopamine addiction”. This is where you have become addicted to the drama of urgent deadlines, the sound of another notification and constant buzz of distractions from breaking news and short videos with flashing lights and rapid changes in context.  It destroys your focus, mental energy and leaves you feeling worn out and exhausted at the end of the day.  To improve your focus and better manage your mental energies, look for ways to group similar work together.  For example, if you find that you focus better in a morning, try to avoid having meetings at that time. Instead, perhaps start your day with a two hour session of work on a particularly difficult project or task. One that requires a fair bit of creativity or skill.  Then give yourself thirty minutes or an hour before you attempt to do another mentally challenging task.  I've found that when I suggest to clients that they use these gaps between periods of deeper focused work to get up move around and use their phones to reply to messages using the dictation feature, or return phones calls, they get an instant boost in their energy levels.  If you think about it physiologically, you've gone from hardly moving at all—sitting down and focusing on something—to getting up and moving and suddenly your blood is surging again, in a positive way.  More importantly, you're not context switching in a mentally depleting way.  A quick tip I can share with you here is to keep the first thirty minutes of your work day free. Use that time to get a heads up on your day. Clear your email inbox, have a chat with your colleagues or hold a quick team meeting to discuss the objectives for the day.  What this does is prevents that sense of FOMO (the fear of missing out). It settles your mind, gets you focused on your objectives and gives you time to deal with any unknown emergencies before you settle down to doing some difficult work.  I', currently reading a book called “In Search of C. The Biography of Mansfield Cumming”. Mansfield Cumming was the founder of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6. The British version of the CIA. The service was founded in 1909—five years before the start of the First World War. The majority of the UK's workforce at that time were employed either in factories or in service.  In service meant people who worked for the aristocratic landed gentry in their large mansions and palaces.  Very few people worked in offices.  Those that did, didn't work a nine till five job. It was far more flexible than that. Often the day was spent travelling between meetings. And given that most transport at that time was horse and cart, you can imagine how slow that was.  Then there was large liquid lunches, often taking up to three hours.  It was in the evenings that any work managed to get done. Mansfield Cumming, for example, would spend most of his evenings replying to letters and reading documents.  One time, when Cumming was ill and bed ridden, his superiors send over a typist so he could stay on top of his correspondence.  120 years ago, people recognised the dangers of letting correspondence get out of control on the efficiency of getting work done.  And don't be fooled into thinking things were very different then. Not only did they get an equivalent number of letters as we do emails, they also got telegrams—the equivalent of Slack or Teams messages today.  It might not have been digital, but the volume was very similar.  Today, we allow ourselves to neglect staying on top of our correspondence and admin. When we do that it creates a low level of anxiety draining our energies. The fear of not knowing what is waiting for us. And the fear that we might be missing something important.  To avoid this, find some time each day to dedicate specifically to dealing with your messages. Try to do this as late in the day as you can. This avoids you getting trapped in email ping pong. That's were when you reply you give the receiver time to reply to you the same day. That just doubles up the time you need to spend dealing with your messages.  Slowing down your response times, gives you space to get back to doing the work you have identified as being important.  So there you go, Matt. If you want to have the energy to do a days work and have enough left in the evening to spend doing the things you want to do, then first make sure you are taking care of the basics, tough sleep, movement and a healthy diet.  Then avoid getting trapped by context switching. Protect time on your calendar for doing specific types of work that is similar in nature, and allow sufficient flexibility between these sessions for moving and dealing with the inevitable message load.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening.  Oh and one more thing. Yesterday, saw the launch of my summer sale. If you would like to pick up a course, or a bundle of courses, or perhaps join my coaching programme, you can now save up to 25%.
