Podcasts about Weight

Weight gain isn't a willpower problem… It's a communication problem. In this episode, we explore LEAN, the peptide that helps the body re-establish normal metabolic signaling between the gut, brain, and fat cells. You'll learn how this yeast-derived peptide extends your own GLP-1 activity, balances appetite hormones, and supports fat oxidation using citrus polyphenols, L-carnitine, and CoQ10, all without stimulants or artificial suppression. We'll cover how LEAN works, what to expect in the first few weeks and months, and why pairing it with FIT helps preserve muscle and keep metabolism strong.   Hosted by Leanne Vogel.   Coaching with Leanne: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/coaching    Bioactive Peptides: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/make     Quiz - your personalized peptide stack: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/quiz    Enjoy today's show.

A packed calendar is not always what causes stress. It's often the unfinished things. The decisions that are half-made. The projects that stall out and never officially end. The conversations you keep meaning to come back to.Those unfinished pieces tend to hover in the background. They surface when you are trying to relax, show up when you least expect them, and create pressure without offering any real direction. You are not actively working on them, but they are still working on you.We talk about unfinished things and how to avoid that dreaded feeling that they cause.

Michael Easter returns for his third appearance, and this one feels like a relief: a simple way to get stronger, steadier, and more clear-headed without adding another complicated “wellness” project to your life. Ginny Yurich and Michael talk about the Two Percenter mindset, why walking is already powerful, and how adding a reasonable load can quietly upgrade nearly everything—muscle, bone density, core strength, endurance, mood, and even the way you move through everyday life (yes, even airports and errands). They also get practical about getting started with what you already own, why this works especially well for busy parents, and how time outside can turn down the mental noise and help you hear yourself again.

This is not a normal week. We are inside an eclipse corridor — between two eclipses — and what you choose now matters. In this episode, I break down the seed-planting energy, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and the breakthrough warrior current building toward Friday. — Creation IX enrollment closes Feb 23 at 5pm. If you're feeling this week as a choice-point between two worlds, details here — We're sandwiched between two soul-shaking eclipses: New Moon Eclipse (Feb 17) Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 3) What you choose this week… what you speak, release, align to, and walk toward… will ripple out for months, maybe lifetimes. Let's walk it consciously. Let's make this week count. Let's choose from soul. Below are your 5 core themes, 3 big astrology dates, journal prompts + ritual guidance to support your path this week. 5 Core Themes of the Week 1. Choice Point Between Two Worlds You're at a fork in the road. One path loops you into old conditioning. The other… breaks you into freedom, into the extraordinary. Ask: Which world am I feeding with my attention? 2. Breakthrough Energy: Into the New You This week is about shattering upper limits — ancestral, personal, societal. You're being invited to become truer than ever before. 3. Shock into Sovereignty There's a shake-up here — not to scare, but to liberate. This is about reclaiming your direct, sovereign relationship with the divine, outside of any tradition or lineage. 4. Seeding the Future Every word, choice, and step this week is a seed. The Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 3) wants you to plant embodied, grounded soul seeds — not for the old life, but for the one you're really here to live. 5. Mercury Retrograde: Soul Re-Visioning Begins On Feb 25, Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces. This is no ordinary retrograde — it’s an invitation to reimagine, reconnect, and realign with your spirit's dream, not your ego's plan. Key Dates to Watch Wednesday, Feb 25 — Mercury Retrograde Begins (Pisces) Expect dreamier, non-linear insight. Ritual idea: Sit in meditation or free-write to ask: What limiting story am I ready to dissolve? Thursday, Feb 26 — Sun Conjunct North Node (square Black Moon Lilith) Soul purpose spotlighted. Feminine truth cannot be denied. Prompt: What must I honor about my feminine soul path, even if it doesn't “make sense”? Friday, Feb 27 — Mars Square Uranus Breakthrough energy peaks. Expect action, activation, forward momentum. Ritual: Move your body. Dance. Take one bold action that says “Yes” to your new life. Journal Prompts Where am I planting seeds — in the old world or the new? What part of me is ready to awaken… even if it scares me? What state of being is my soul longing to live from? Where have I still been outsourcing my power? What would it look like to become the artist of my own life? Rituals for the Week Meditate with your future self — the one living your soul path. Speak your truth aloud each morning. Let the words shape your day. Light a candle on Wednesday (Mercury Rx) and offer up one story or belief that's ready to dissolve. Write a soul letter to yourself on Friday — what you're breaking into, not just out of. Feel the Call to Go Deeper?

If you've ever felt like your body is fighting you no matter how “perfect” your nutrition or workouts are, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Today, I'm sitting down with Soraya Rufener, one of our coaches at Vital Spark, to share the story behind the safety, trust, and results her clients feel from day one. Soraya isn't just highly credentialed as a registered nurse and functional health coach. She's lived through chronic dieting, body distrust, and the exhausting pressure to always “do more.” She started dieting at 13, spent years stuck in restriction cycles, and did everything diet culture promised would work. And yet, nothing was actually healing.In this conversation, we unpack why willpower wasn't the problem, how postpartum healing changed everything, and what rebuilding a body really requires physically, mentally, and emotionally. Soraya shares the moment she stopped punishing her body and learned how to support it instead. We talk about why healing is layered, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how nervous system safety changes outcomes. She also opens up about how her lived experience reshaped the way she coaches postpartum moms and high-achieving women today. Most importantly, we explore what she refuses to repeat from diet culture—and why coaching women differently matters. If you're exhausted, frustrated, or quietly wondering why nothing seems to work anymore, this episode will remind you that you're not broken.You're unsupported. Time Stamps: (1:17) Our Incredible Coach Soraya (6:02) Early Teen Soraya (9:17) Finding Bodybuilding (15:02) The Food Noise (17:09) Shifting To The Healing Phase (19:55) The Mental Side of Healing (22:47) 3 Kids In 4 Years and The Postpartum Journey (31:23) Our Bodies Aren't The Enemy (34:15) Where To Find Soraya---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In episode 14, the hosts have an honest conversation about body image, rapid weight changes, and the emotional impact of medications and life stages. They discuss considering weight-loss shots, working on confidence, and how those shifts affect their relationships and swinging dynamics. The episode also explores where the hosts feel most comfortable flirting—at events, work, or out in the “vanilla” world—plans for a Tinder experiment, and how the trio supports each other through ups and downs in and out of the lifestyle.

Whether we're working at a desk in an office, running a marathon or even asleep in bed, our bodies are host to thousands of chemical processes that are continually converting the food we eat into energy and repairing our bones, muscles and organs. Collectively these processes are known as the metabolism. But how are they affected by our genes, lifestyles and diet, and what can we do to make sure everything stays running smoothly? In this episode, we're joined by Javier Gonzalez, a professor of nutrition and metabolism based at the University of Bath. He breaks down the links between our metabolisms and body types, tells us why our metabolisms aren't necessarily fixed for life, and explains why it's almost impossible to out exercise a poor diet if you're looking to drop a few kilos.

The Weight of the Calling | The Final Word | February 22nd 2026 Leadership in the church is not light — it carries eternal weight. In this message from the book of Malachi, we explore God's final prophetic words before 400 years of silence. Speaking directly to the priests, God makes it clear: He measures leaders not by productivity, but by how deeply they honor Him. We unpack what happens when leaders drift, how integrity sustains what gifting alone cannot, and how believers can respond to church hurt in a healthy, biblical way. The calling is weighty — but so is the grace of God. Scriptures: Malachi 2:1–8, Matthew 16:18, 1 Timothy 5:17–20 https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

Ruth 3:1-18

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Judges 9 marks a dark turning point in Israel's history as the familiar cycle of sin, repentance, and deliverance collapses. Abimelech, Gideon's illegitimate son, seizes power through manipulation and violence, and when faithful leadership steps aside, Israel crowns a bramble instead. The result is destruction for both the king and the people who chose him, revealing how tolerated sin grows heavier over time and leadership vacuums invite corruption. Yet even in the collapse, God's justice and mercy remain, calling His people to repentance and true refuge under the rule of the rightful King.

Dr. Jordan Stone preached on Psalm 38.

In Romans 1, Paul exposes the root issue beneath sin: not just bad behavior, but dishonor. Humanity did not simply disobey — we exchanged. We traded the glory of the Creator for created things. And when God loses His rightful weight in our lives, something else always takes His place.In this message, Phil Martinez explores what it truly means to honor God. Biblically, honor carries the idea of weight — to treat God as significant, essential, and first. When we treat Him as light, optional, or secondary, our thinking becomes distorted and our hearts grow dark. But when we restore His rightful place, everything changes.This sermon is both a mirror and an invitation. Where has God become optional? What carries the most weight in your decisions — His Word, your feelings, culture, success, comfort? Honor begins in humility. It shows up in worship, obedience, generosity, suffering, and everyday life.God is not looking for perfect people — He is looking for surrendered hearts.Today is an opportunity to reverse the exchange. To give God back the weight He deserves. To honor Him not just with our lips, but with our lives.Passage: Romans 1:18–25

Like a man balancing luggage on his head in a moving train, we move forward while silently holding everything inside.This podcast explores the feelings we don't express, the conversations we avoid, and the courage it takes to finally let go.

Apoprotein B provides a virtual count of the lipoprotein particles in the bloodstream that cause coronary heart disease. It is often held up as superior to the widely used LDL cholesterol value. Is this true?It is true, but it does not mean that measuring apoprotein B tells you much about health. Compare this to the enormous amount of insight provided by measuring the REAL cause of heart disease: small LDL particles that gives you an entire universe of insight into your overall health, as well as risk for heart disease. And it is wonderfully and completely manageable with some simple strategies. Support the showYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com Membership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com Books: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed

What does it look like to offload some of our energetic weight?

https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Money-Talk.mp3 Quick Answers What is Biblical Stewardship? It is the recognition that God owns everything, and we are merely managers of His resources. It shifts the burden of "providing" from your shoulders to His. Is money the root of all evil? No. Scripture says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Money itself is morally neutral; it is a tool that reveals where your heart truly lies. Will more money solve my anxiety? Likely not. Anxiety often scales with income. True peace comes from trusting the Provider, not the size of the provision. How do I start budgeting with my spouse? Separate the "business" of the budget from the "romance" of the relationship. Don't ruin date night with a spreadsheet; schedule a specific time to talk numbers. Why is tithing important? It isn't about paying the church's light bill; it's a spiritual discipline that breaks the grip of greed and reminds us who the true Owner is. The Weight of the Wallet Man, we have all been there. You open the banking app on your phone, and your stomach drops. The number isn't what you thought it was. Suddenly, the transmission on the truck sounds a little clunky, the kids need braces, and you feel that familiar tightening in your chest. The world tells men that their worth is directly tied to their net worth. If you can provide, you are a success. If you are struggling, you are a failure. That pressure is crushing, and it keeps millions of men awake at night, staring at the ceiling, doing mental math that never seems to add up. But here is the hard truth: the anxiety you feel about money often has very little to do with the actual amount in your account. We assume that if we just hit that "magic number"—the next raise, the paid-off mortgage, the lottery win—the fear will vanish. It won't. The only thing that truly alleviates financial anxiety is a fundamental shift in perspective. We have to move from a mindset of ownership to a mindset of Biblical Stewardship. When you realize you aren't the owner of the resources, but merely the manager, the pressure begins to lift. Defining the Terms: What is Biblical Stewardship? In church circles, we hear the word "stewardship" and immediately clutch our wallets because we assume it's code for "the pastor needs a new roof." But Biblical Stewardship is far more expansive and liberating than just a Sunday offering. Biblical Stewardship is the theological belief that God is the owner of everything—your money, your house, your car, your talent, and even your next breath. Psalm 24:1 is clear: "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." If you are the "owner" of your life, then every financial hit is a personal attack on your security. If the market crashes, you lost. If the water heater breaks, your kingdom is crumbling. That is a heavy burden to carry. However, if you embrace Biblical Stewardship, your role shifts. You are now the asset manager for the Creator of the Universe. Your job isn't to hoard or to worry; your job is to ask, "Lord, how do You want me to manage these resources You have entrusted to me for this season?" The success of the "fund" ultimately rests on His sovereignty, not your striving. The Great Misquote: Money vs. The Heart To understand Biblical Stewardship, we have to clear up one of the most common lies men believe. You have probably heard someone say, "Well, money is the root of all evil." That is technically incorrect. The Apostle Paul actually wrote to Timothy that "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). There is a massive difference. Money is just paper and metal. It has no moral agency. It can be used to traffic humans, or it can be used to build orphanages. The money isn't evil; the heart handling it is where the danger lies. When we fail to practice Biblical Stewardship, we start to love the gift more than the Giver. We look to the bank account for the security and peace that only God can provide. That is when money becomes an idol. And like all idols, it will eventually crush its worshippers. True Biblical Stewardship requires us to hold money with an open hand. We respect it as a tool, but we refuse to worship it as a god. The "Just A Little More" Trap You might be thinking, "That's all great theology, but I have real bills. If I just had an extra $10,000 a year, I wouldn't be stressed." Don't be so sure. The podcast hosts discussed a phenomenon that every financial advisor has seen: the moving goalpost. You can talk to a man making $40,000 a year, and he is stressed. You can talk to a man making $400,000 a year, and he is also stressed. The lifestyle inflates to match the income. The guy making minimum wage worries about rent; the guy making millions worries about the stock market or losing his empire. There is a story of a billionaire who was asked, "How much money is enough?" His answer? "Just one more dollar." Without Biblical Stewardship grounding you, "enough" is a horizon you can never reach. You will chase it until you are in the grave. The practice of Biblical Stewardship teaches us contentment. It reminds us that our provision comes from the Lord, not from our hustle. It allows a man to look at what he has—whether it is little or much—and say, "Thank You, Lord. How should we use this?" rather than, "It's not enough." Practical Steps to Biblical Stewardship So, how do we move this from a theological concept to a Tuesday morning reality? Biblical Stewardship is practical. It shows up in how we budget, how we spend, and how we talk to our spouses. 1. The Budget is a Spiritual Tool If you don't know where your money is going, you aren't managing God's resources; you are losing them. Biblical Stewardship requires a plan. It's not about being a penny-pincher; it's about being intentional. Sit down and look at the numbers. Be honest. Ignoring the debt won't make it disappear. God can't bless a mess that you refuse to look at. By creating a budget, you are telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went. 2. Separate Finance from Romance Money is the number one cause of divorce. Why? Because we mix the stress of the bills with the intimacy of the relationship. Here is a pro-tip from the podcast: Don't do the budget on date night. Date night is for connection, dreaming, and enjoying each other. If you bring up the credit card bill over appetizers, the night is over. Schedule a separate "business meeting" for the household. During that meeting, practice Biblical Stewardship together. Pray over the bills. Ask God for wisdom. Then, when date night comes, leave the spreadsheet at home. 3. Build Margin for the Broken World A key component of Biblical Stewardship is preparation. The podcast noted that many men live "vacation to vacation" rather than preparing for the inevitable emergencies. If you spend every dime you make, you are presuming on the future. When the transmission blows or the medical emergency hits, you are forced into debt, which creates more anxiety. Biblical Stewardship involves the wisdom of the ant (Proverbs 6:6)—storing up in the summer so you are ready for the winter. Building an emergency fund isn't hoarding; it's responsible management that protects your family from the unexpected. The Tithing Question You can't talk about Biblical Stewardship without talking about giving. Why does God ask us to give? Does He need our money? No. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He doesn't need your check to keep the lights on in heaven. God commands us to give because He knows how easily money can grip our hearts. Giving is the antidote to greed. When you write that tithe check or support that missionary, you are physically declaring, "God, I trust You more than I trust this money." It is an act of rebellion against the scarcity mindset of the world. Some men get hung up on the "net vs. gross" argument or the specific percentages. They miss the heart of Biblical Stewardship. The goal isn't to check a legalistic box; the goal is to develop a generous spirit that mimics the generosity of God. As the podcast mentioned, we shouldn't just think about "paying the church's electric bill." We are investing in the Kingdom. From Anxiety to Trust The transition to Biblical Stewardship is rarely instant. It is a journey. You will have months where you fail. You will have moments where the fear grips you again. But the more you practice this mindset, the more you will find a strange, settled peace. You will realize that your identity isn't in your bank balance. You will stop looking at your neighbor's new truck with envy because you know you are running a different race. You will find joy in being a conduit of blessing rather than just a reservoir of cash. God wants you to be free. He doesn't want you enslaved to debt or paralyzed by the fear of the future. He invites you into the partnership of Biblical Stewardship so that you can experience the joy of trusting Him. When the bills stack up, take a deep breath. Remind yourself: "I am a manager, not the owner. God, show me what to do with what I have." A Challenge for the Steward This week, take one step toward Biblical Stewardship. Maybe it's finally opening that scary envelope from the bank. Maybe it's setting up a time to talk to your wife about the budget without fighting. Maybe it's giving something away just to prove to yourself that money doesn't own you. The world says, "Get all you can, can all you get, and sit on the can." But you aren't called to be like the world. If you are going to be something, be uncommen. Check out our other resources in our library. Follow Our Podcast on Apple | Spotify

Long-term, low-dose aspartame intake caused measurable changes in heart structure and brain energy use in mice, even at amounts far below current safety limits Weight and body fat dropped with aspartame use, but this came alongside reduced metabolic function and signs of cardiac strain rather than improved health Brain cells showed worsening access to fuel over time, which aligned with slower movement, poorer memory, and reduced task performance Harmful effects developed gradually and only appeared after many months, explaining why short-term studies often miss these risks Avoiding artificial sweeteners and restoring real carbohydrate fuel helps reduce metabolic stress and protect long-term heart and brain function

There's a term floating around the internet called “man keeping.” The idea? That women often carry the mental and emotional load of maintaining friendships, family connections, holiday plans, thank-you notes, birthday texts, and basically the entire social ecosystem of a household. Meanwhile, many men… just don't think about it. Or don't care in the same way. In this episode, Emily and Jason talk about why that dynamic exists. Is it laziness? Wiring? Cultural expectation? Or are men and women simply valuing different things? Musicbed License  MB01OKDEEVEDRAK Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you are worried about childhood obesity, BMI percentiles, or your child's eating habits, this episode is for you.As a pediatrician, I see how often parents are told to focus on weight, growth charts, and body mass index, or BMI. But when we focus only on the number, we miss the deeper factors influencing your child's health, emotional eating patterns, and relationship with food.In this episode of Family in Focus, I explain why weight is often just the tip of the iceberg and what parents need to understand beneath the surface to support healthy and sustainable change.So much of what we are taught to focus on is what we can see. The number on the scale. The BMI percentile. The growth chart. The food choices. When those numbers rise, it can feel urgent and scary.But what if weight is not the root issue?This episode explores the factors that influence child weight gain, eating habits, and overall health, including genetics, environment, hormones, social influences, and emotions.I also share a story from my pediatric practice that changed the way I approach conversations about child weight and growth. It is a reminder that behind every number is a child navigating weight stigma, body image pressure, and emotional experiences we cannot see.This episode is not about ignoring health. It is about understanding it more fully.In this episode, we discuss:Why focusing only on weight, BMI, and growth charts can cause harmThe iceberg metaphor and what influences child weight beyond foodHow genetics, environment, and hormones impact eating habitsEmotional eating in kids and how feelings shape behaviorThe impact of weight stigma and body image pressure on children and teensWhy connection based parenting creates healthier long term outcomesAt Family in Focus, I help parents improve their child's eating habits and health without shame, food battles, or pressure. This episode is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and support your child's health in a way that builds trust instead of fear.New episodes air every Wednesday.Join The Exhale, my newsletter for parents who want less stress around food, body image, and child weight concerns and more confidence in how they are supporting their kids.https://www.wendyschofermd.com/the-exhaleIf you would like support putting this into practice in your home, learn more about how I work with families at:https://www.wendyschofermd.comTo schedule a consult:https://wendyschofermdscheduling.as.me/consultFollow along and continue the conversation:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wendyschofermd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wendyschofermdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wendyschofermd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-schofer-md/While I am a doctor, I am not your doctor.

In this video, I walk you through what truly matters: ✅ How oral absorption differs from injections. ✅ Why injectable GLP-1 medications are often more effective — and sometimes more affordable. ✅ Who is a good candidate for oral therapy, and who will likely need something stronger.

In this episode of the Samson Strength Coach Collective, Richard McClure breaks down what truly separates high-quality strength equipment from the rest. Drawing from his experiences in elite collegiate programs like USC, UCLA, and Kansas State, Richard explains how durability is tested in real-world training environments—not just in theory. He reflects on the legacy of well-built equipment, the role it plays in shaping athlete development, and why high school programs in particular benefit from investing in long-lasting free weight solutions. This conversation highlights how thoughtful design, hands-on experimentation, and a commitment to quality directly influence training outcomes and program success.Key TakeawaysUnderstanding the technical side of equipment helps coaches make smarter investments.Durability is proven under real training conditions, not marketing claims.Elite programs prioritize equipment that withstands daily, high-volume use.Equipment design impacts safety, performance, and long-term athlete development.High school weight rooms especially benefit from dependable, long-lasting equipment.Experimentation and stress-testing reveal what truly holds up over time.The legacy of a weight room is often tied to the quality of its tools.Quote: "We tried every which way to destroy this stuff." — Richard McClure

Millions of Americans are turning to GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. But here's the question few are asking: What happens when you stop? Research shows that many people regain a significant portion of the weight within a year of discontinuing GLP-1 medications. In some studies, participants regained as much as two-thirds of the weight they lost. On this episode of The Exam Room, Chuck Carroll sits down with world-renowned obesity researcher James Hill, PhD to unpack the real story behind long-term weight management after GLP-1 medications. Dr. Hill is a pioneering scientist and former president of The Obesity Society and The American Society for Nutrition. Along with Dr. Holly Wyatt, he co-authored the new book Losing the Weight Loss Meds: A 10-Week Playbook for Stopping GLP-1 Medications Without Regaining the Weight. In this conversation, you'll learn: • Are GLP-1 medications meant to be long-term? • What happens inside the body when you stop taking them • Why so many people regain weight after discontinuing • The 10-week transition strategy for maintaining weight loss • The three types of weight regain—and how to avoid each • How to quiet food noise and cravings naturally • Daily habits that can replace the work of GLP-1 medications Chuck also shares his personal perspective on long-term weight loss success, including: • What he's learned after weight loss surgery • The lifestyle shifts that made his results sustainable • And what he wishes he knew before surgery that he knows now If you're considering GLP-1 medications, currently using them, or thinking about stopping, this episode could change how you approach weight maintenance forever.

In this episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about body recomposition – especially if your goal is to lose body fat and look leaner without obsessing over the scale. Here's the truth: Not all progress is created equal. Weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing. And many women make the mistake of chasing fast scale drops that ultimately leave them feeling smaller… but not stronger, toned, or confident. In today's episode, I'm covering: ✅ The difference between weight loss and fat loss ✅ What body recomposition really means (and why it matters) ✅ The 3 core things you must focus on if your goal is to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time I'm also breaking down exactly how to achieve the body recomposition shift so many women are craving right now: looking leaner, feeling stronger, and finally seeing their workouts pay off.

Grief is deeply personal — but it never happens in isolation. In Part 3 of this four-part educational grief series, Gwen Kapcia of grief-guide.com explores how loss impacts family dynamics and why each person in a family often grieves differently. One may withdraw. Another may need to talk. A child may crave routine while a parent feels shattered. The same loss — expressed in different ways. Gwen gently explains how grief can strain communication, shift roles within the family, and create misunderstandings — especially in the early months after a death. She also shares why shared acknowledgement, honest expression, and steady routines can help families move toward stability again. This episode also addresses the "big emotions" of grief, including anger, guilt, shame, jealousy, loss of identity, and even spiritual struggle. These reactions are not weaknesses — they are human responses to love and devastation. If you have ever wondered whether your grief is "normal," or why your family seems out of sync, this conversation offers reassurance, language, and practical guidance. Healing may not look the way it once did, but connection, understanding, and meaning are still possible. *If you would like a coupon code for resources or private sessions with Gwen, please email either marcy@andysmom.com or gwen@grief-guide.com

In part three of our bullying series, we tackle some of the toughest conversations ballet parents face: what to do when teachers make harmful comments about weight, body image, or use abusive language in class. Psychotherapist Kelsey Fyffe and educator Suzette Takei give parents the exact roadmap for addressing these issues at ballet schools and pre-professional programs. Kelsey, who specializes in eating disorders and works with Houston Ballet Academy, explains why pre-professional students should never be put on diets, what questions to ask about a studio's approach to body image, and how to tell the difference between giving corrections and promoting disordered eating. She shares specific language for approaching ballet teachers and administrators, starting with curiosity instead of accusations. We dig into the real fears ballet parents have about speaking up. Will your kid get blackballed from summer intensives or trainee programs? How do you know when to stay and when to run? Suzette and Kelsey walk through scenarios and discuss cultural and generational differences that can complicate conversations with non-native English speaking faculty. The episode covers handling abusive language from ballet instructors, including when teachers single out students in class. We talk about how bystander parents can step in even when it's not their kid being targeted, how to teach young dancers to set boundaries around body comments, and why building supportive lobby culture matters. Suzette and Kelsey also address why anxious, perfectionistic ballet students struggle to speak up and how therapy can help dancers build their mental toolkit before problems escalate. If you've ever felt paralyzed about confronting a problem at your ballet studio or pre-professional program, this episode gives you the questions to ask and the confidence to advocate for your child's physical and mental health.

They also discuss safe, realistic strategies that support joint health, including tailored exercise and strength training, plus the emerging evidence on GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide/Ozempic/Wegovy) for people with obesity and arthritis. The key message: obesity is a treatable chronic condition, and care should be compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based.*Content note/ trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of body weight, obesity, BMI, and weight-loss medications (including GLP-1 drugs).  We approach this topic from a stigma-free, evidence-based perspective, as well as lived experience, but we know conversations about weight can be sensitive or activating, especially for those with a history of weight stigma, eating disorders, or body image challenges.
