What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal.Together, they explore Amy's 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself.Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system.This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

What does it really take to keep intimacy alive after years together? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Caitlin V, sexologist, educator, coach, author, and host of Good Sex, for a candid conversation about sex, connection, hormones, communication, and the relationship patterns that quietly shape long-term intimacy.Together, they explore why many couples start to feel disconnected over time, especially through the pressures of marriage, parenting, midlife, stress, changing bodies, shifting hormones, and unspoken resentment. Caitlin explains why intimacy is not something couples are simply supposed to “know how to do,” and why learning to talk about sex, desire, needs, and repair can completely change the direction of a relationship.Dr. Taz and Caitlin also discuss the role of men's health, testosterone, cortisol, perimenopause, menopause, performance pressure, emotional shutdown, and the invisible load that many women carry. They unpack why both men and women can check out of a relationship, how resentment builds, and why emotional distance is often one of the earliest signs that a couple needs support.This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at how couples can rebuild closeness, not through pressure or blame, but through communication, curiosity, physical connection, appreciation, and a willingness to keep learning each other.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

What if the best workout for your body is not the hardest one, but the one you can actually keep showing up for? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Megan Roup, founder of The Sculpt Society, celebrity trainer, mother, former professional dancer, and creator of a movement method designed to help women build strength, confidence, and consistency without burnout. Together, they explore why so many women feel overwhelmed by midlife fitness advice, especially around strength training, cardio, cortisol, pelvic floor health, menopause, and body composition.Megan shares why extreme, all-or-nothing workout plans often fail women in real life, especially during midlife when hormones, sleep, stress, family responsibilities, and energy levels are constantly shifting. She explains how shorter, well-programmed workouts can still support muscle, bone density, cardiovascular health, mobility, and emotional well-being.Dr. Taz and Megan also discuss pelvic floor function, progressive overload, cardio myths, GLP-1 medications, body image, intuitive movement, and why body confidence does not come from being thin. Megan offers a more realistic, joyful, and sustainable way to think about movement as medicine, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, postpartum recovery, and the constant transitions of life.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like fitness became another source of pressure instead of a path back to themselves.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

What if the patterns in your relationships are not just about communication, compatibility, or choosing the wrong person, but subconscious wounds your nervous system learned years ago? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Thais Gibson, PhD, bestselling author, counselor, speaker, attachment theory expert, and founder of The Personal Development School, to explore how attachment styles, childhood conditioning, core wounds, subconscious programming, and nervous system regulation shape the way we love, fight, connect, and pull away.In this episode, Thais explains why the conscious mind often cannot overpower the subconscious mind, and why so many people keep repeating the same relationship patterns even when they know better. She breaks down the four attachment styles: secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant, and explains how each style can show up in adult relationships, dating, marriage, family dynamics, conflict, ghosting, love bombing, emotional shutdown, clinginess, and the painful push-pull cycle.Dr. Taz and Thais discuss why affirmations may not be enough to heal deep core wounds, why the subconscious mind responds more to emotion and imagery than language, and how childhood experiences can become the lens through which we interpret adult relationships. Thais also shares a practical 21-day rewiring exercise using memory, emotion, visualization, and repetition to help shift core wounds like abandonment, betrayal, shame, unworthiness, and fear of being trapped.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Florence Comite, endocrinologist, clinician scientist, longevity expert, and author of Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer, to explore how biomarkers, genetics, hormones, sleep, metabolism, and family history shape the way we age.In this episode, Dr. Comite explains why longevity is not just about biohacking, supplements, peptides, or the latest wellness trend. Instead, she shares why true healthspan begins with understanding your own body, your own patterns, and your own family story. She explains how changes in blood sugar, fasting insulin, free testosterone, cholesterol risk ratio, sleep quality, muscle, and metabolism can reveal early signs of disease risk long before symptoms fully appear.Dr. Taz and Dr. Comite discuss why “normal” lab ranges are not always the same as optimal health, why some people begin showing signs of metabolic disease decades earlier than expected, and how family history can act as a powerful roadmap for prevention. They also explore how genetics, lifestyle, hormones, wearables, continuous glucose monitoring, sleep, movement, protein, and personalized medicine may help people change the trajectory of their future health.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Song: Love Wears the Crown Music by: Maggie Wheeler   Song Learning Time Stamps: Start of teaching: 00:03:19 Start of reprise: 00:27:13   Notes: I'm visiting Carol Bardenstein and TatiAnah Thunberg, and Carol shares a song by Maggie Wheeler. "Love Wears the Crown" felt to Carol like the perfect song for a No Kings march, and as she teaches it to us, she talks a little about the ways she adapted it for singing in crowds without time to learn nuance... and TatiAnah and I learn it on the spot. I play with harmonies (some more successfully than others, natch!) -- and we reprise it with Carol's whole song circle, so if you're ready to join a crowd, it's time! I loved hearing about the ways these two songleaders are being led by love into interweaving their work and including folk in their circles.

He spoke about a composition for 50 trumpets titled 'Walls Will Fall - The 49 Trumpets of Jericho' by Mazen Kerbaj.  The musicians gathered in a defunct water reservoir in Berlin. Mazen says, 'According to the old testament, Jericho's walls collapsed under the sound of seven trumpeters, blowing their horns for seven days while circling around the city. Far from the religious background of the story, it is the idea of music breaking walls and barriers that is central to this composition.' The participating trumpet players came from from Australia, Austria, Cuba, Denmark, England, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Somalia, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Turkey and the United States.  This story and this work deeply inspired me. I wrote LOVE WEARS THE CROWN  to invoke the power of music, the power of voices gathered to dissolve barriers, and to dismantle the walls of hatred and injustice." https://mazenkerbaj.bandcamp.com/album/walls-will-fall-the-49-trumpets-of-jericho  TatiAnah's websites: https://www.VocalWilds.com https://www.SpiritMoves.Us   Nuts & Bolts: 2:2, minor, unison with call and response section, optional harmonies   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?

What if the stress you feel around certain friendships is not just emotional, but something your body is carrying too? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Ericka Sóuter, journalist and author of How to Have a Kid and a Life: A Survival Guide to explore the hidden health impact of toxic friendships, toxic mom groups, social rejection, motherhood, loneliness, and the deep need for real connection.In this episode, Ericka explains why toxic female friendships can leave women feeling anxious, rejected, drained, and unsure of themselves, and how social rejection can activate the same neural pathways as physical pain. She shares how these dynamics often begin early in girlhood, continue into adulthood, and become even more complicated when motherhood raises the stakes of belonging.Ericka and Dr. Taz discuss why so many women stay in social groups that do not feel good, often because of proximity, fear of rejection, their children's friendships, school communities, social pressure, or the emotional cost of leaving. They also explore the different roles that show up inside toxic groups, including the queen bee, flying monkey, emotional arsonist, silent stabilizer, and disruptor.Trying to conceive?

What if the pain men carry is not always obvious, but quietly shaping their health, relationships, addiction patterns, and ability to feel connected? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with producer John Bard Manulis and Emmy-winning filmmaker Peter Jones, creators of Fortunate Sons, a documentary following the 1974 class of Harvard School for Boys, to explore men's emotional repression, family secrets, addiction, father wounds, vulnerability, and the healing power of honest conversation.In this episode, John and Peter share how a group of former classmates reconnected during the pandemic and began having conversations they were never taught to have as boys. Raised in a culture of achievement, leadership, privilege, silence, and emotional control, many of these men went on to experience depression, addiction, burnout, broken relationships, hidden family trauma, and deep personal reckoning.The conversation explores how emotional repression can show up through addiction, anxiety, depression, inflammation, cortisol dysregulation, hormone changes, disease patterns, and disconnection from the self and others. Dr. Taz connects these patterns to the broader conversation around men's health, family health, and the physical cost of keeping pain buried for too long.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body or my family system, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

What if the symptoms you feel in your body are not random, but signals of something deeper happening in your energy system? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Sue Morter, master of bioenergetic medicine, founder of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening, to explore how energy medicine connects to the nervous system, chronic stress, emotional patterns, and the body's ability to heal.In this  episode Dr. Sue explains how energetic blockages can show up as a lump in the throat, tightness in the chest, a knot in the stomach, chronic tension, anxiety, digestive issues, allergies, pain patterns, and other symptoms that often appear disconnected from the deeper root cause.Dr. Sue shares how the flow of energy through the body acts like a master system, influencing the nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and the body's self-regulating capacity. When that flow becomes blocked by unresolved emotions, survival patterns, stress, fear, or disconnection from the self, the body may move into dysregulation and lose access to its natural healing intelligence.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here: 

In December 2006, elite endurance athlete Danelle Ballengee slipped on black ice near Moab, Utah, fell 60 feet, and shattered her pelvis while unknowingly bleeding internally. With only eight ounces of water, two energy gels, and a shower cap, she crawled a quarter mile in five hours, then endured roughly 52 hours in a freezing canyon, rationing snowmelt, doing crunches for warmth, and developing severe frostbite while unable to signal for help. Her dog Taz repeatedly ran the five miles to the trailhead and back until search and rescue followed him to her just before dark on the third day, leading to an airlift, major surgery, and a remarkable recovery. Ballengee later walked and raced again, and renamed the area Taz Canyon in her dog's honor. 00:00 Welcome to Crux 00:28 Cold Open Crisis 01:48 Meet Danelle 04:05 Trailhead Routine 05:51 Black Ice Fall 08:42 Crawling for Survival 10:41 Night One Decisions 12:48 Realizing She Needs Rescue 14:21 Missing Person Alarm 16:03 Second Night Breaking Point 17:57 Search Team Mobilizes 19:57 Taz Leads Them In 22:38 Rescue and Airlift 24:18 Why Taz Left 26:29 Surgery and Recovery 28:56 Aftermath and Reflection 31:15 Closing and Call to Action   Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ References – Crux Podcast: Danelle Ballengee Episode ESPN – "Dog Comes to Racer's Rescue" (December 2006) Primary news report from just after the rescue, including quotes from Marshall and details on her athletic record. https://www.espn.com/outdoors/general/news/story?id=2704879 Summit Daily – "Miracle in Moab: The Stunning Rescue of Danelle Ballengee" (December 2006) Detailed account of the search and rescue operation, Dorothy Rossignol, and John Marshall's quotes. https://www.summitdaily.com/news/miracle-in-moab-the-stunning-rescue-of-danelle-ballengee/ Snowshoe Magazine – "Screams of Pain: The Danelle Ballengee Story" First-person account written by Ballengee herself.

The Shulhan Aruch begins by urging us to be "strong as a lion" to wake up early for the service of our Creator. The Hesed La'alafim (Rav Eliezer Papo, 1785-1828) explains that struggling against the Yeser Ha'ra (evil inclination) is always a difficult challenge, but the struggle to wake up early in the morning is particularly difficult. Right when we wake up, it takes us time to be fully alert, and both our physical and mental faculties are frail. We are therefore in an especially compromised position vis-à-vis the Yeser Ha'ra, who is always "on top of its game" and working to discourage us from doing the right thing. The Shulhan Aruch therefore urges us to muster strength "like a lion" to resist the efforts of the Yeser Ha'ra to keep us in bed when we are supposed to be getting up to serve Hashem. The Mesilat Yesharim (Rav Moshe Haim Luzzato, Italy, 1707-1746) discusses at length the need for "strategies" for fighting the Yeser Ha'ra. The Yeser Ha'ra is exceptionally shrewd in its efforts to lead us astray, so we need to be equally clever in combating these efforts and to remain consistent in our service of Hashem. This is especially true when it comes to the struggle to get up in the morning. The Bayit Hadash (Rav Yoel Sirkis, Poland, 1561-1640) writes that in the morning, the Yeser Ha'ra cleverly tries to convince a person to remain in bed – in the winter, because it is cold early in the morning, and in the summer – when it is actually more comfortable in the cool, early morning hours – because sunrise is very early and he did not sleep enough. Often, the Yeser Ha'ra disguises its arguments as piety, telling the person that he should stay in bed and sleep late so that he can pray later with greater concentration. As the Yeser Ha'ra is shrewd and wily, it is necessary to explore strategies for winning the most difficult battle against the Yeser Ha'ra – the battle to get out of bed on time in the morning. The Hafetz Haim, who was always awake and out of bed early, was once asked about his strategy for winning this battle. He said that when the Yeser Ha'ra tries telling him to stay in bed because it's still early, or it's very cold, he would respond, "Well, you're out of bed! If you got out of bed, then so can I!" The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) draws our attention to the comment of the Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles, Cracow, 1530-1572) on this first Halacha of the Shulhan Aruch. Citing from the Rambam in his Moreh Nebuchim, the Rama writes that a person must live with the constant awareness that Hashem is always present and sees everything he does. Knowing that we are under constant "surveillance" will assuredly affect the way we act. The Hida writes that G-d takes notice of whether or not we rise when we should, and this awareness should motivate us to wake up on time in the morning. King David says in Tehillim (119:98), "Me'oyebai Tehakemeni," which, simply understood, means, "You make me smarter than my foes." The Rabbis of Mussar explained that this verse also implies that we can gain wisdom "Me'oyebai" – from our adversaries, by learning from their example. When we see the way the wicked tirelessly pursue their desires and how carefully they plan to commit their wrongful acts, we are shown an example of the kind of vigilance with which we are to serve Hashem. When Yaakob Abinu sent a message to his brother, Esav, he told him, "I have lived with Laban, and I observed the 613 Misvot, and did not learn from his evil ways" (Rashi, Bereshit 32:5). Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky (1891-1986) explained that Yaakob here expressed his regret that he did not learn from Laban's pursuit of evil, from the way Laban so passionately and fervently dedicated himself to earn money through any possible means. Yaakob realized that he should have followed Laban's example of devoted work when serving the Almighty. Similarly, we see the lengths people go to earn money, to plan luxury vacations, to build luxury homes, to indulge in vanity – and we should commit to do the same for the sake of Torah and Misvot. Just as people wake up early very easily when this is necessary for a major business deal, or to catch a plane for a vacation, we should certainly be able to wake up early to serve Hashem. Some people employ the tactic of self-imposed "penalties," pledging to give a substantial amount of money to charity each morning that they do not wake up on time. Another relatively simple strategy for getting up early in the morning is to commit to some structured program or framework. For example, when I learned in yeshiva, some of us scheduled Havrutot (study sessions with partners) for the early morning, before Shaharit. If a person knows that his study partner will be waiting for him, he is more likely to get out of bed even if he feels tired or otherwise tempted to stay in bed. Likewise, one can join an early-morning study group, as knowing that he is part of the group makes him feel responsible to regularly attend, thus helping him overcome the temptation to sleep late. Perhaps the simplest – and most important – strategy for waking up early is going to sleep at a reasonable hour. As mentioned in an earlier installment in this series, some explain the Shulhan Aruch's instruction, "Yitgaber Ka'ari" – to be "strong as a lion" in the morning – to mean that one should go to sleep early, like a lion does, so he will wake up refreshed and energized. A yeshiva student once asked me how he can know whether or not he invests sufficient effort into his Torah study in yeshiva. I answered, very simply, that he just needs to strictly follow the yeshiva's schedule. True diligence in Torah learning does not mean that one studies into the wee hours of the morning. Rather, it means that he learns when he is supposed to learn, he eats when he is supposed to eat, he sleeps when he is supposed to sleep, and he relaxes when he is supposed to relax. Staying up very late – even to learn Torah! – is not advisable, as this makes the person less likely to wake up in time in the morning. In fact, it is told that the Hafetz Haim would shut the lights in the Bet Midrash of his yeshiva at night, because he did not want the boys to stay up too late. It is far more important to go to sleep at a reasonable hour so one can get up on time and pray properly, than to stay awake learning until late hours of the night. It is told that at one point during the Hida's travels, he found himself in a certain yeshiva in Germany, where there was a certain outstanding young prodigy, who was remarkably diligent in his Torah study. This youngster grew to become a renowned sage – Rav Natan Adler (1741-1800), the mentor of the Hatam Sofer (Rav Moshe Sofer of Pressburg, 1762-1839). As a young man, he would stay up very late learning Torah, and the Hida saw him arrive late one morning, since he had been up so late. The Hida approached him and gently reprimanded him by citing the remark made by the Shunamite woman, who would host the prophet Elisha: "Ish Elokim Kadosh Hu, Ober Alenu Tamid" – "He is a sacred man of G-d, who regularly passes through here" (Melachim II 4:9). This alluded to young Natan Adler who was a very holy individual – but who regularly "passed Alenu" – arriving late for Shaharit, after the recitation of Alenu… When we go to sleep early, so we wake up refreshed, we avoid the Yeser Ha'ra altogether. We don't even "get into the ring," so-to-speak, because we feel well-rested and ready to get out of bed, without having to struggle. Concluding this opening passage, urging us to rise early in the morning, the Shulhan Aruch writes, "She'yeheh Hu Me'orer Ha'shahar" – "that one should wake up the dawn." Meaning, ideally one should be awake before the sunrise, as though he "wakes up" the morning sun. The source of this concept is King David's proclamation in Tehillim (57:9), "A'ira Shahar" – "I shall awaken the dawn." The Midrash comments: "I shall awaken the dawn, rather than allow the dawn to awaken me." The Taz (Rav David Segal, Poland, d. 1667) raises the question of why the Shulhan Aruch writes only, "that one should wake up the dawn," omitting the Midrash's addition – that David did not allow the dawn to awaken him. The answer, the Taz suggests, is that only a righteous person like King David could have the confidence to declare that he would never wake up past dawn. A person on his level has the motivation and self-discipline to arise early in the morning. Most other people, however, cannot be so confident. We are instructed to make an effort to wake before dawn, but we know that we are frail and require Hashem's assistance. The Shulhan Aruch alludes to this distinction between us and King David by stating only that a person should arise before dawn, without expressing himself as definitively as King David did. The Taz's comments instruct that we must seek Hashem's assistance, and ask Him to help us get up early in the morning. The Rama, in his glosses to this opening passage in the Shulhan Aruch, emphasizes that when a person goes to sleep, he should be mindful of the fact that Hashem is present and watches him even while he sleeps. The work Si'ah Yishak explains the Rama to mean that going to sleep with this awareness will help a person get out of bed on time in the morning. When a person goes to sleep, he can "program" his mind to wake up early by contemplating that Hashem is watching him as he sleeps, and that he must therefore ensure to wake up properly. This is yet another important strategy for waking up early in the morning – to be mindful when going to sleep that Hashem is there watching him as he sleeps, and expects him to wake up on time.

What if weight loss has never been the right goal in the first place? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with registered dietitian Ashley Koff, RD, author of Your Best Shot, to unpack why the conversation around GLP-1 medications is much bigger than Ozempic, Wegovy, or tirzepatide alone.This episode reframes the entire GLP-1 conversation by shifting away from weight loss as the goal and toward what Ashley Koff calls “weight health.” Instead of treating Ozempic, Wegovy, tirzepatide, and related medications as magic fixes or villains, the conversation explores the deeper hormonal ecosystem behind appetite, blood sugar, digestion, inflammation, body composition, and metabolic health.Ashley explains that GLP-1 and GIP are part of a larger family of peptide hormones made in the gut lining, and that when this system is disrupted by poor digestion, stress, gut lining damage, nutrient insufficiency, dehydration, medications, or microbiome imbalance, the body's weight regulation becomes suboptimal. She argues that many people are not failing at weight loss. Their body simply does not have what it needs to function optimally.If you're dealing with weight changes, food noise, metabolic dysfunction, or feeling like your body is not responding the way it should, and want deeper, root-cause support, join the Circle here: 

“ЕС павінен зноў адкрыць дыпламатычныя каналы з Лукашэнкам — для яго Еўрасаюз быў бы больш натуральным партнёрам”, — заявіла ў чарговы раз Марыя Калеснікава ў інтэрв'ю нямецкаму выданню TAZ.de, і прыгадала, што былая канцлерка Меркель была апошняй з нямецкіх палітыкаў, хто размаўляў з Лукашэнкам. “Магчыма, патрэбна новая спроба”, — мяркуе Калеснікава. І абыходзіць увагай пазіцыю і дзеянні лукашэнкаўскага рэжыму як у дачыненні да Літвы (і іншых краін Балтыі), так і да Польшчы, адносіны з якімі застаюцца напружанымі, а правакацыі з боку Мінска не спыняюцца. Ці гатовы ЕС і Германія ў прыватнасці ў чарговы раз наступіць на старыя граблі пад назвай “паверыць Лукашэнку”, і ці магчыма гэта сёння? Пра што сведчаць дзеянні і планы злачыннай групы, якая планавала забойствы ў Літве, і ці гатова Еўропа супрацьстаяць гібрыдным пагрозам з Усходу?

What if your fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, and belly fat are actually signs of high cortisol, low cortisol, or chronic stress building up over time? In this episode, Dr. Taz explains how your cortisol levels shift and why learning how to lower cortisol levels starts with understanding the pattern your body is stuck in. If you're dealing with chronic stress, fatigue, or hormone imbalances and want to address the root cause, join the Circle and get support here:

Former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani are in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to recap a night of massive upsets and "soft reboots." The episode is headlined by a shocker as the Brooklyn Brawler pins Triple H in a handicap match after Chris Jericho provides a timely distraction.We break down the scary, legitimate injury sustained by Hardcore Holly during a stiff match with Kurt Angle, where a chaotic moonsault resulted in a broken arm for the "Big Shot." Tommy Blacha provides the backstage scoop on Taz's "doghouse" status with management, the real-life logistics of the XFL launch, and why Vince McMahon reneged on his promise to give Mick Foley six months off. We also discuss the debut of the "Conchierto" and the emergence of Steven Richards as the moral authority of the Right to Censor.Other major discussion points include:- The Rock's Hollywood absence and his world premiere of "It Doesn't Matter" on TRL.- Kurt Angle's hilarious and accidental "milk" assault on the Undertaker's motorcycle.- Val Venis shocking Rikishi to capture the Intercontinental Championship.- Steve Blackman reclaiming his killer instinct (and the Hardcore Title) with a nunchuck assault.- Tommy Blacha shares his original pitch for a "Split Belt" gimmick for the women's division.Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and hit the notification bell!Follow Tales from the Attitude Era: Email: tftattitudera@gmail.com Instagram/TikTok/X: @TFTattitudeera0:00 - Intro 4:12 - Vince McMahon: The "Madman" at the helm5:32 - THE XFL HYPE12:16 - Bill Clinton and the 2000 political backdrop13:58 - Match 1: Chris Jericho vs. Kurt Angle (Stephanie intervene)18:46 - Kurt Angle sprays milk on Undertaker's bike21:50 - Why Foley returned from retirement early24:16 - Foley and Benoit Promo27:30 - Backstage: Triple H finds Angle's milk disaster28:46 - Match 2: The Dudley Boyz vs. Lo-Down (Chaz & D-Lo Brown)31:32 - Match 3: Dean Malenko vs. Ivory & Jacqueline (Handicap Match)33:20 - THE BELT SPLIT GIMMICK: Tommy's original pitch for the ladies36:06 - Match 4: Rikishi vs. Val Venis (Intercontinental Title Change)38:39 - Match 5: Steve Blackman vs. Big Boss Man (Hardcore Title)39:39 - Match 6: Undertaker & Kane vs. T&A (The Double Big Boot)40:32 - Who has the best Big Boot of all time?

It gets reduced to positive thinking, good vibes, or pretending everything is fine. But real optimism is not about denying pain. It is about learning how to stay grounded in reality while still believing that healing, change, and resilience are possible.In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Deepika Chopra, known as The Optimism Doctor, to explore what optimism actually means and why it matters for both mental and physical health. Together, they unpack the difference between optimism and toxic positivity, why our brains are wired to expect worst-case scenarios, and how that pattern may no longer serve us in modern life.They also explore the science behind sensory-based visual imagery and how the brain responds to what we vividly imagine, often in ways that influence expectation, motivation, and even the body's stress response. Dr. Deepika shares how these tools were used in psych-oncology settings, where patients practiced visualizing treatments working with the body rather than against it, and how similar techniques can support people navigating anxiety, illness, self-doubt, and major life transitions.The conversation expands into practical tools for everyday life, including the 12-second rule, the role of awe in calming anxious or depressive states, and the importance of collecting believable evidence rather than relying on empty affirmations. They also discuss why naming emotions honestly is more healing than suppressing them, how to shift deeply rooted self-beliefs in realistic ways, and why purpose plays such an important role in long-term well-being.Rather than asking listeners to force positivity, this episode offers a more compassionate and evidence-based framework. It is about building optimism as a skill, strengthening resilience over time, and learning to meet hard seasons with honesty, curiosity, and hope. This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck in negative thought loops, overwhelmed by stress, or ready to approach healing with more realism and self-trust.About Dr. Deepika Chopra Dr. Deepika Chopra is a licensed clinical health psychologist, speaker, and author known as the Optimism Doctor. With a background in cognitive behavioral therapy, psych-oncology, and integrative mental health, her work focuses on helping people build resilience through practical, science-based tools.She is the author of The Power of Real Optimism, a book that explores how optimism can be strengthened through everyday practices rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and emotional honesty. Her approach bridges research with real life, offering accessible strategies for navigating stress, uncertainty, and personal growth.Order the BookThe Power of Real OptimismStay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Deepika ChopraInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdeepikachopra/Website: https://www.drdeepikachopra.com/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

It is either dangerous and cancer-causing, or it is the miracle solution to aging. For decades, women have been told to fear estrogen, avoid progesterone, and accept midlife decline as inevitable. But what if the story around hormones was shaped more by panic and oversimplified data than by the full clinical picture?In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with preventive medicine pioneer Dr. Erika Schwartz to revisit the Women's Health Initiative and the ripple effects that followed. Together, they explore how one study reshaped hormone replacement therapy guidelines, why the concept of “class effect” blurred important distinctions between different types of hormones, and how relative risk statistics can be misunderstood in ways that drive fear-based decisions.They also discuss bioidentical hormone therapy, the difference between compounded and FDA-approved options, and how delivery methods like creams, patches, and pellets may affect long-term outcomes. The conversation expands beyond menopause into birth control, progesterone deficiency, teen hormone health, and the broader question of how women can advocate for themselves in a system that often prioritizes protocols over personalization.Rather than promoting blind trust or blanket rejection, this episode focuses on clarity. It invites listeners to understand risk more accurately, ask better questions, and approach hormone care with nuance instead of fear. This conversation is for anyone navigating perimenopause, menopause, hormone therapy decisions, or simply wanting to better understand how women's health became so complicated.About Dr. Erika Schwartz Dr. Erika Schwartz is a board-certified internist and a leading voice in preventive and integrative medicine. After spending 15 years practicing conventional medicine and running a trauma center, she shifted her focus toward prevention, longevity, and personalized hormone therapy.For more than three decades, Dr. Schwartz has advocated for bioidentical hormones and individualized care, teaching physicians, speaking internationally, and helping patients navigate midlife health with a whole-body approach. She founded one of the first compounding hormone pharmacies in New York and has worked extensively in physician education through organizations focused on longevity and preventive medicine.She is the author of multiple bestselling books, including the newly revised edition of Don't Let Your Doctor Kill You, which empowers patients to understand medical risk, advocate for themselves, and make informed decisions without fear.Order the BookDon't Let Your Doctor Kill YouStay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Erika SchwartzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drerikaschwartz YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrErika Website: https://drerika.com/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

In this solo episode, Dr. Taz breaks down why bro science and modern biohacking culture often backfire for women, and how pushing harder, optimizing more, and chasing protocols can quietly drive hormone chaos, burnout, inflammation, and nervous system dysregulation. She explains why so many women are told their labs are “normal” while their bodies are clearly signaling that something is off, and how medical models that isolate symptoms fail to capture how women's systems actually work.This episode is rooted in the same clinical patterns that led Dr. Taz to writeThe Hormone Shift. After years of watching women come into her practice exhausted, inflamed, and dismissed by conventional care, she began documenting the repeating cycles she saw across life stages, from teens to perimenopause to post-menopause. You'll learn why women were historically excluded from research, how that gap still shapes today's treatment models, and why intensity, calorie restriction, and rigid optimization strategies may worsen hormonal imbalance, metabolic stress, and emotional exhaustion in female bodies. This episode reframes women's health as a whole-body system, not a protocol stack, and explores why safety, rhythm, recovery, and regulation matter more than force.This conversation reframes healing as a process of supporting interconnected systems, not overriding them. Hormones, gut health, immune function, nervous system regulation, emotional safety, stress load, and life stage are not separate variables. When these systems fall out of sync, symptoms multiply. When they are supported together, the body can restore balance, energy, and resilience.Dr. Taz shares: • Why bro science and biohacking trends often backfire for women • How “normal labs” can still mean your body is not functioning optimally • Why women's bodies were historically excluded from research and how that impacts care today • How pushing harder, restricting calories, and overtraining disrupt hormones and metabolism • Why women's nervous systems require safety, rhythm, and recovery to heal • How stress physiology, trauma patterns, and life stage shape women's health outcomes • Why hormones don't act in isolation, but communicate with the gut, immune system, and brain • Where modern tools like HRT, GLP-1s, peptides, and protocols fit and where they fall short • How to build a sustainable, personalized approach to women's health that works with the body, not against itWhether you're feeling dismissed by your labs, burned out from trying every new wellness trend, or frustrated by protocols that seem to work for others but not for you, this episode offers a grounded, integrative framework for understanding what women's bodies actually need.Women don't heal through force. They heal through safety, rhythm, and whole-system support.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)Chapters0:00 Women told it's “normal” and “in your head” 1:13 Holistic approach and the “five bodies” 1:25 Why Dr. Taz is done with “bro science” 4:25 “Your labs are normal” and the dismissal problem 5:20 Why biohacking culture worsens women's health 6:10 HRT, IVF, peptides, GLP-1s without a holistic context 8:18 Why AI and protocols can't replace the whole-woman lens 9:01 What bro science gets wrong (intensity, restriction, isolated hormones) 10:31 Life stage, stress load, nervous system, trauma, lineage 11:45 Bias against women and what it means in the exam room 13:28 Why “evidence-based” fails women when studies exclude women 14:20 What “evidence-based holistic medicine” actually means 16:19 Stats on women's health disparities and research gaps 17:55 Where are you on the health spectrum: powering through vs powering up 18:21 Identify your biggest symptom and quality-of-life limiter 20:00 Don't let “normal labs” end the story, track patterns over time 21:10 Female stress response, intuition, and cortisol sensitivity 24:15 Hormones, gut, immune system triangle and inflammation 27:00 Stress processing differences and guardrails 28:15 Safety as the foundation of women's health 30:10 Women's rhythms: hormones, sleep, food, nervous system 32:50 A woman's body doesn't respond to force 34:25 What holistic healing for women actually looks like 35:39 Closing: share this with a woman who needs it (00:00) - Women told it's “normal” and “in your head” (01:13) - Holistic approach and the “five bodies” (01:25) - Why Dr. Taz is done with “bro science” (04:25) - “Your labs are normal” and the dismissal problem (05:20) - Why biohacking culture worsens women's health (06:10) - HRT, IVF, peptides, GLP-1s without a holistic context (08:18) - Why AI and protocols can't replace the whole-woman lens (09:01) - What bro science gets wrong (intensity, restriction, isolated h...

This week, Gabby talks with Dr. Taz — traditionally trained physician, integrative medicine expert, and founder of Whole Plus — about what it really means to practice medicine in today's world.They begin with the new U.S. health guidelines and unpack why Dr. Taz considers them a “win” — particularly the shift toward whole foods, protein, healthy fats, fiber, and the callout of ultra-processed foods. But the conversation quickly goes deeper.They discuss why food pairing and portion size matter more than food labels, how blood sugar and inflammation are driving modern disease, and why simple carbohydrates may be at the center of the chronic illness epidemic.From there, the episode moves into something bigger: shared decision-making in medicine. Dr. Taz explains why individualized care — especially in pediatrics — requires nuance, context, and trust between families and physicians. She shares her own journey through personal health struggles, how that experience reshaped her medical philosophy, and why healing requires more than just prescriptions and protocols.Gabby and Dr. Taz also explore:Micro habits that lower cortisol and improve metabolic healthThe impact of blue light and screens on inflammationWhy 10-minute practices can shift your nervous systemThe difference between “data-driven” health and intuitive healthGender differences in how men and women approach wellnessThe importance of family systems in long-term healingWhy medicine must move from authority to partnershipAt its core, this conversation isn't about trends or controversy. It's about reconnecting science with spirit — and empowering families to think critically, ask better questions, and practice health in ways that actually work for their lives.Chapters00:00 – Why evidence-based holistic medicine matters05:00 – The new U.S. health guidelines: what changed10:00 – Simple carbs, insulin resistance, and inflammation15:00 – Full-fat foods, meat, and food pairing nuance22:00 – Why personalization beats rigid rules30:00 – Gender differences in health blind spots40:00 – Micro habits: 10-minute practices that shift cortisol50:00 – Personalized medicine and micro-dosing prescriptions58:00 – Pediatric care, shared decision-making, and gut health1:08:00 – Trust in medicine and rebuilding relationships1:18:00 – Medicine as a calling, not a business1:24:00 – What keeps Dr. Taz groundedKey Takeaways• Pairing and portions matter more than labels.• Inflammation and blood sugar instability drive most chronic disease.• Micro habits can regulate cortisol without overwhelming change.• Health is contextual — environment, stress, and family systems all matter.• Personalized medicine isn't alternative — it's responsible.• Shared decision-making builds trust between doctors and families.• Nervous system regulation may be the foundation of long-term healing.ConnectDr. TazInstagram: @drtazmdWhole Plus: https://holplus.coGabby ReeceInstagram: @gabbyreeceYouTube: The Gabby Reece ShowProduced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Breast cancer screening is often treated as a given. Mammograms are framed as routine, early detection as unquestionably life-saving, and following guidelines as the responsible choice. But what if the full picture is more complicated?In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with integrative oncologist and breast surgeon Dr. Jenn Simmons, author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, to explore what breast cancer screening data actually shows, where common narratives may oversimplify reality, and how statistics can sometimes be misunderstood by both patients and providers.Together, they discuss the difference between screening and diagnostic imaging, why detecting more cancers does not always mean fewer deaths, and how concepts like overdiagnosis and lead-time bias shape our interpretation of outcomes. Dr. Jenn also explains how breast cancer behaves differently from many other cancers, why progression is not always linear, and what tumor markers like ER, PR, HER2, and triple-negative really indicate.The conversation expands beyond imaging into a whole-body view of breast health, touching on inflammation, immune function, metabolic health, toxic burden, stress, and lifestyle as factors that shape cancer risk and recovery. Rather than promoting fear or urgency, this episode focuses on helping listeners understand their bodies, ask better questions, and make informed decisions with clarity.This episode is for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of breast cancer screening, feels overwhelmed by conflicting guidance, or wants to approach breast health with more nuance and less panic.About Dr. Jenn SimmonsDr. Jenn Simmons is an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of Real Health MD. She was Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent nearly two decades leading one of the region's top breast programs before transitioning into integrative oncology.Drawing from her experience in conventional cancer care and her own health journey, Dr. Simmons now focuses on whole-body approaches to breast health, cancer prevention, and recovery, including metabolic health, inflammation, immune function, lifestyle medicine, and root-cause healing. She is the author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, a patient-centered resource designed to help women better understand their diagnosis, ask informed questions, and navigate treatment decisions with clarity rather than fear.Order the BookThe Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Jenn SimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmonsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmonsWebsite: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)00:00 Swedish trial claim and overdiagnosis framing 00:52 Why this became a part two conversation 03:25 Reframing screening narratives and medical training gaps 04:39 Why Dr. Simmons questions mammograms as a screening tool 06:06 Origins of screening programs and “invitation to screen” bias 07:12 Relative risk vs absolute numbers example (4 vs 5 per 1,000) 08:49 Overdiagnosis explained with a vivid analogy 09:50 Autopsy-study claim and the “microscopic cancer” idea 12:11 Swedish trial claim revisited: more diagnoses, same deaths 13:38 Downstream harms: callbacks, biopsies, overtreatment 15:04 Lead-time bias and survival statistics explained 16:44 Dr. Simmons' view on the founder's regret narrative 18:16 Switzerland headline clarified and what actually changed 20:10 Cautionary stories and aggressive cancers discussion 22:07 Why breast cancer does not always progress linearly 24:21 Buckets: DCIS, invasive, inflammatory, receptor types 26:15 Clinical vs subclinical disease approach 28:25 Long-term tradeoffs and “forgotten woman” after treatment 32:15 What ER PR HER2 mean biologically and system incentives 35:33 Testosterone discussion and prevention claim presented 42:15 Hormones after breast cancer and the 4-year “reintroduction” idea 44:29 Triple negative: environment, toxicity, immune system focus 49:19 What to do next: pause, exceptions, whole-body workup 52:32 Prevention and breast health approach begins 53:24 At-home tears test explanation (as discussed) 56:24 Detox basics and why sweating is emphasized 59:34 Imaging preferences for screening and what to do if limited access
