Ever wondered what actually happens at a healing retreat? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing my real, unfiltered experience attending a small, intimate women's healing retreat - the kind that isn't rushed, isn't performative, and goes way deeper than journaling and yoga poses. I talk about why I chose a retreat focused on healing the heart, what it felt like being in such a small group (only five women), and why that intimacy completely changed the experience for me. We get into nervous system regulation, breathwork, silence, somatic healing, and what happens when you finally give yourself the space to slow down and actually feel. And yes - this experience directly inspired me to create my own small, intimate retreat for women, so if you've been DMing me asking to be on the list, make sure you're on the newsletter

In this episode, Dr. Jockers is joined by Dr. Jason Fung to break down why weight gain isn't a willpower issue or a calorie problem, but a hunger problem driven by internal signals. You'll learn why eating less often backfires and why controlling hunger is the real key to sustainable fat loss.   Dr. Fung introduces the concept of the "fat thermostat," explaining how hormones like insulin, cortisol, and GLP-1 quietly determine whether your body stores fat or burns it. He also reveals how ultra-processed foods disrupt these signals and keep cravings switched on.   You'll also explore the different types of hunger that influence eating behavior, why some foods never lead to satiety, and how small shifts in food choice, timing, and lifestyle can naturally reduce cravings while supporting fat burning.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Food Industry Tricks 01:19 Dr. Jason Fung's Background and Achievements 04:06 The Concept of Hunger and Hormones 12:05 Understanding the Fat Thermostat 17:09 The Role of Hormones in Weight Management 21:53 Impact of Diet on Hormones and Weight 26:06 Debunking Diet Myths 26:43 The Science of Hair Regrowth 28:23 Understanding Hunger and Hormones 29:40 The Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods 31:33 Food Addiction and Its Implications 32:55 The Role of Natural Foods in Satiety 36:10 The Impact of Food Processing on Health 44:01 Effective Strategies for Weight Management 52:09 The Importance of Social Support in Dieting 52:48 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

Key Episode TakeawaysOral Wegovy is real, but it's not “just a pill version of the shot.” Absorption rules, dosing schedules, and patient selection matter a lot more than most headlines suggest.Switching from injections to oral GLP-1s requires a plan. The transition isn't one-size-fits-all, and dose timing, GI tolerance, and expectations need to be managed carefully.Weight regain after stopping GLP-1s is common, but not universal. SURMOUNT-4 data shows large variability, reinforcing that biology, not willpower, drives outcomes.Maintenance matters as much as weight loss. Some patients need continued therapy at lower doses, while others may maintain with lifestyle plus strategic medication use.Stopping abruptly is usually the worst approach. Gradual transitions and realistic long-term strategies reduce rebound weight gain.GLP-1s are chronic disease tools, not short-term fixes. Treating obesity like hypertension or diabetes leads to better outcomes and fewer surprises. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If you're getting everything done on the outside but feel exhausted, foggy, and feel like giving up on the inside, this episode is for you.High functioning burnout is the state where your nervous system stays on constant alert while your life keeps demanding more.It shows up most often in high achievers like entrepreneurs, corporate women, and medical professionals who are praised for pushing through.In this episode, I break down 18 subtle but powerful signs that your body is stuck between high cortisol and total collapse.We'll talk about why rest feels unsafe, stillness makes you anxious, and productivity comes in extreme waves instead of balance.You'll recognize the patterns of irritability, avoidance, overstimulation, and mental exhaustion that don't look like classic burnout.I explain what's actually happening inside your nervous system when you feel wired but tired, motivated but flat, social yet depleted.This isn't a motivation problem or a discipline issue, it's a regulation issue. You'll learn why pushing harder only deepens the loop and what happens if these signals are ignored long term.We'll connect the dots between chronic stress, dopamine crashes, cortisol dysregulation, and hormonal fallout.Most importantly, this episode will help you name what you're experiencing so you can stop blaming yourself.Burnout doesn't always look like quitting or falling apart, sometimes it looks like functioning too well for too long. If you want your life to feel as good as it looks, this conversation is a wake up call. Time Stamps: (1:20) Both Looking Good Today(2:22) Natalie Ellis Quote(3:35) Between High and Low Cortisol(5:18) 18 Signs You Are High Functioning Burnout(25:52) What To Look For If This Resonates With You---------------------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?

THE INAUGURATION AND THE WEIGHT OF HISTORY Colleague Nathaniel Philbrick. Overwhelmed by the moment, Washington collapses into a chair after taking his oath on a hastily acquired Bible.

Sam Wegner, pastor, chaplain, longtime ministry leader, and author of The Weight of the Wait, joins us to talk about the hard seasons we never asked for and the hope that sustains us anyway. After navigating years of anticipatory grief alongside his wife's battle with cancer, Sam learned that waiting isn't just something we endure — it's a place where faith is forged, resilience grows, and unexpected purpose emerges. In this conversation, he unwraps how to hold hope in uncertainty, find peace amid unanswered questions, trust in the middle of pause, and discover spiritual strength in the waiting room of life. This is real, raw, and rooted in faith — perfect for anyone who's ever asked, “How long, God?”https://samwegner.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

HEALTH NEWS   Probiotics emerge as a potent tool against depression and anxiety Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals Health issues linked to cosmetic jab complications From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds Weight loss drugs may cause nutritional deficiencies without proper guidanc       Probiotics emerge as a potent tool against depression and anxiety University of Calgary (Canada), January 14 2026 (Natural News) For decades, the standard pharmaceutical approach to treating depression and anxiety has dominated treatment options, despite significant drawbacks including delayed effects, debilitating side effects and high relapse rates. Now, compelling new research is challenging this paradigm by pointing to a surprising source of relief: the gut. A comprehensive scientific analysis, synthesizing data from over 1,400 clinically diagnosed patients, reveals that probiotics—beneficial bacteria readily available as supplements—can produce substantial reductions in both depressive and anxious symptoms.   The analysis major findings include:     A major analysis of 23 clinical trials finds probiotics can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in clinically diagnosed patients.   The benefits, appearing within 4-8 weeks, were comparable to some conventional antidepressants but without the same side-effect profile.   The gut-brain axis, a communication network largely ignored by conventional psychiatry, is central to understanding this connection.   Single-strain probiotic supplements, particularly certain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, showed the strongest mental health effects.   This research supports a holistic view of mental wellness, where gut health is a foundational component of treatment.     Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals Technical University Munich (Germany), January 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) Each year, more than two million people die from advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). Previous research has linked gut microbiome disruptions to this condition and suggested that bacteria typically found in the mouth may colonize the gut. A new study published in Nature Microbiology now shows that identical bacterial strains occur in both the mouth and gut of patients with advanced chronic liver disease and also reveals a mechanism by which oral bacteria affect gut health. The researchers also found that this process coincides with worsening liver health. Researchers analyzed bacterial populations in saliva and stool samples from patients. The team found that both the gut and oral microbiome undergo significant changes as liver disease worsened, where changes to the oral microbiome were already detectable at earlier disease stages. In healthy individuals, bacterial communities differ substantially between body sites. In patients with liver disease, however, oral and gut microbiomes became increasingly similar as the disease progressed and nearly identical bacterial strains were recovered from the mouth and gut of patients. "These strains are typically found in the mouth and are rarely present in the healthy gut. However, we observed increases in the absolute abundances of these oral bacteria in patients with advanced chronic liver disease. This strongly suggests that these bacteria translocate from the mouth and colonize the gut," explains Melanie Schirmer, Professor of Translational Microbiome Data Integration at TUM.   Health issues linked to cosmetic jab complications Anglia Ruskin University (UK), January 9 2026 (Eurekalert)   Patients with chronic illnesses face a significantly higher risk of complications from cosmetic botulinum toxin injections, commonly known as Botox, according to a major UK study. Researchers from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) surveyed 919 adults who had received botulinum toxin treatments for aesthetic reasons. The study, published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal, is the largest of its kind to have been carried out in the UK. Botulinum toxin injections are among the UK's most popular cosmetic procedures, with an estimated 900,000 treatments performed every year. Researchers found that underlying conditions such as type 1 diabetes, thyroid disorders, chronic migraine and skin disease dramatically increase the likelihood of adverse effects. According to the study, people with type 1 diabetes were 92 times more likely to experience nausea after treatment compared to those without the condition. Those with thyroid disorders and chronic migraine sufferers had an approximately 10-fold increase in the risk of nausea. Other complications associated with pre-existing conditions included headaches, bruising, muscle weakness and persistent eyelid droop (ptosis). Patients with cataracts were 30 times more likely to report headaches, and those with prior injuries had a 21-fold increased risk of losing facial expression.   From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds Swansea University (UK), January 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) New research by Swansea experts has provided the largest ever comparison of well-being-focused interventions delivered to adults. The team reviewed 183 randomized controlled trials, representing almost 23,000 participants, and evaluated 12 categories of interventions ranging from psychological, physical, mind–body, and nature-based approaches to find out more. Their research was the first interdisciplinary comparison carried out across psychological, physical, mind-body and environmental interventions. The study gives an integrated view of how different disciplines contribute to well-being. By focusing on general adult samples rather than clinical groups, it provides evidence that will be relevant to developing public health, education, workplace well-being, and community programs. The researchers' key findings were: Most interventions improved well-being compared with inactive control groups; Strongest effects were found for combined exercise plus psychological interventions (for example, awe walks or meditation combined with walking); Mind–body interventions showed consistently moderate, reliable effects; Exercise alone produced similar benefits to many psychological interventions; and, Positive psychology interventions—both single-component and multicomponent—were also effective. The analysis shows that there is no single route to improving well-being. Mindfulness, compassion-based approaches, yoga, exercise and positive psychology interventions all showed moderate benefits compared with control groups, and combining physical activity with psychological interventions appeared particularly promising.   Weight loss drugs may cause nutritional deficiencies without proper guidance     University College London & Cambridge, January 7 2026 (News-Medical) People prescribed the new generation of weight loss drugs may not receive sufficient nutritional guidance to support safe and sustainable weight loss, leaving them vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies and muscle loss, say experts at UCL and the University of Cambridge. In research published today in Obesity Reviews, the team found a lack of robust evidence surrounding nutritional advice and support and the impact this has on factors such as calorie intake, body composition, protein adequacy, and patient experiences. Weight loss drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide – available under brand names including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro – mimic the naturally-occurring hormone glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), released into the blood in response to eating. The drugs suppress appetite, increase a feeling of being full, and reduce food cravings. These drugs can reduce calorie intake by between 16-39 %, making them a powerful tool to help people living with obesity and being overweight. However, there has been little research to examine their impact on diet quality, protein intake, or adequacy of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The researchers identified just 12 studies that looked at nutrition and diet alongside treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide. Given the widespread – and increasing – use of these medications and the urgency of providing advice to individuals using the drugs, there was insufficient evidence from the studies to recommend strict low-fat diets to complement the weight loss drugs. Some observational studies found that people on the treatments often consumed excessive levels of total and saturated fat. These medications are transforming obesity care, but we know very little about how they shape people's daily lives, including changes in appetite, eating patterns, wellbeing, and quality of life.

Condemnation can quietly weigh down even the most faithful believers, especially when perfectionism and performance replace grace. Romans 8:1 offers freeing truth: for those in Christ Jesus, condemnation no longer exists because Jesus already carried the full weight of sin and shame on the cross. Highlights Perfectionism often disguises itself as faith but leads to exhaustion and emptiness. Guilt and shame push us away from God, while grace draws us closer. Self-condemnation is a burden Jesus never intended believers to carry. Romans 8:1 declares complete freedom from condemnation for those in Christ. Jesus paid the full debt for sin—nothing more is required from us. Our identity is found in Christ’s finished work, not our performance. Grace is a gift to rest in, not something to strive to maintain. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: Carrying the Unnecessary Weight of Condemnation By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, ESV). For many years, I was driven by perfectionism and the feeling that I had to work successfully or perform well in life to be loved by other people… and to be loved by God. On the outside, I looked like I had it all together- high honors throughout school, hyper-involvement in extracurricular activities, serving in any ministry I was asked to be involved in, star of the high school plays and musicals, head cheerleader, first chair clarinet player in the band, and the list goes on and on. But on the inside, I was so empty and constantly searching for true fulfillment. I knew God was there for me, but somehow, I thought I could be perfect in my own strength on my walk with Him. Because we are human, we fail time and time again. We make a mess of things more often than not. Guilt and shame can often push us further away from God, instead of closer. For so long as a Christian, I was allowing self-condemnation to take root in my heart, and it weighed me down as I walked around carrying all of the baggage of my past sins and failures, thinking that I had to continue to strive to keep God’s forgiveness. Thankfully, today, I no longer live burdened by a work-based mentality. I find my identity in the finished work of Christ, and I want to encourage you, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, you should too. Grace is a gift that cannot be earned, and you do not have to strive to keep it either. In Romans 8:1, the Bible tells us that we do not have to carry condemnation in our lives when we’re truly in Christ. If you are a born-again believer, condemnation does not exist because the punishment for our failures and sins does not exist. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, ESV). This means that when we embrace and believe what Jesus did for us on the cross, as He took the punishment for our sin that we deserved, our lives are now hidden in Christ. When we come to God with a heart full of repentance, resting in this glorious, finished work of the cross, we can stand before the throne of God without any shame because Jesus bore all of it for us. The debt we owed has been paid in full- we are free from all bondage. Intersecting Life & Faith: Jesus took all of your sin and your shame upon Himself and cast it as far as the east is from the west, friend. Do you struggle with thoughts of shame from your past? Fix your eyes on the finished work of the cross. Christ bore the weight of your sin; you no longer have to live with the weight of your failures. You can come boldly to the throne of grace, beloved, because it is grace that did the work for you. You can rest assured that God sees you as blameless and perfect because you are in Christ. There is no reason to carry that heavy burden of condemnation upon your shoulders… surrender it to Christ today. Let’s pray that you learn to no longer walk around carrying the weight of your past and stop striving for perfection. Remember, Jesus is blameless and perfect for you… lean upon Him.

After a full Christmas break, a busy work season, and a lot of life happening behind the scenes, this episode is a gentle check-in. No big announcements. No dramatic comeback. Just me catching you up on the holidays, the start of a new year, and where my head and heart actually are right now.I'm sharing a few personal updates, my honest feelings about New Year pressure, and what a “glow up” looks like for me in this season (hint: it has nothing to do with becoming a brand-new person overnight).If you're feeling a little quiet, a little tired, or like you're easing back into life instead of charging into it, this episode is for you. Consider this a soft reset… and an open seat on the couch.

In Episode 364 of Jay Movie Talk, I continue January's Loners, Drifters & Outsiders series with The Place Beyond the Pines. A haunting, ambitious story about fathers, sons, and the weight of legacy.This episode explores how the film uses a bold, multi-generational structure to examine masculinity, desperation, privilege, and the consequences of choices that echo far beyond one lifetime. From Luke Glanton's quiet self-destruction to Avery Cross's moral compromise, the movie refuses easy answers and challenges the audience to sit with discomfort.I talk about the film's structure, performances, and themes, including: *Ryan Gosling's portrayal of a modern drifter searching for purpose.*Bradley Cooper's evolution from idealism to ambition.*Fatherhood, inherited trauma, and cycles that are hard to break.*Masculinity without guidance or emotional tools*Why does this movie hit harder with ageAlso, I talk about why The Place Beyond the Pines continues to grow in reputation over time, why some viewers might struggle with its narrative gamble, and why it fits perfectly within January's reflective tone.If you've seen the film, drop your thoughts on which storyline hit you the hardest, and whether you think the cycle was ever truly breakable.

Obesity is one of the most pressing health challenges of our time, yet public campaigns on diet and exercise have struggled to reverse rising global rates.Assistant Professor Xuan Zhang from the School of Economics at Singapore Management University explores how a simple, low-cost intervention – a series of short, personalised text messages – can help people better understand their weight classification and adopt healthier habits.Her team's randomised controlled trial found that regular digital reminders significantly improved weight perception and diet among older adults, showing how behavioural insights can drive meaningful change in public health.Read the original research: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jebo.2024.04.029

Let's just stop for a minute and think about the endless choices we have and how they can overwhelm us. Ever get that feeling like you need to get in shape before you go to the gym? We talk about the rabbit hole of hacks and how it can lead to action paralysis. We talk about how to structure your mind for the right "why." We look at why getting one percent better each day is a great strategy, but why it's so tough to stick with. Training should be about much more than a time goal, it should be driven by what is truly meaningful to you and it's well worth sitting in silence and really figuring out. Topics: Getting fit before going to the gym Can you ever be fit enough? Intellectual experts vs. practitioners What's the hack? Action paralysis Endless podcasts, influencers, newsletters Drink from a garden hose vs. a fire hose We always want more When we feel like it's not enough Trying too hard The weight of the world The integrity of a workout Do we need more? We all need a bit of a buffer Being swept up in the moment One percent better each day but not seeing it Weight loss and patience Inability to set realistic goals What is meaningful to you? You have to have more than a time goal Swinging for the fence all the time Building habits that turn into routine Pick out the right lot and build slowly   mike@c26triathlon.com robbie@c26triathlon.com

What if breaking your family's silence was the first step to truly finding yourself? Author and educator, Dr. Joan Sung, joins Karena in Austin for a candid conversation about identity, intergenerational trauma, and what it really takes to prioritize mental health, especially within Asian American family systems. From the model minority myth to “tiger mom” dynamics, fetishization, and going “no contact”, Joan shares the tools, boundaries, and mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her story and raise her son with compassion and strength. She also opens up about therapy, inner-child work, and why an “emo tour” became her unexpected self-care.How do you heal when culture tells you to stay silent?

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to kick off a two-part series around becoming a peaceful CEO. As business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders, we often grapple with the relentless pressure to move faster, respond quicker, and carry more responsibilities. I want to remind you that if you feel this pressure, it doesn't mean you're failing; it means you're carrying a weight that comes with leadership. Our goal isn't to eliminate pressure but to learn how to carry it well. Today, we delve into one of the most significant challenges we face: the tyranny of the urgent. Coined by Charles Hummel in 1967, this concept refers to immediate pressing demands that overshadow our truly important long-term goals. As business owners, we often find ourselves pulled in multiple directions, reacting to urgent matters that may not align with our core objectives. This episode is about learning to lead from a place of peace without losing momentum.   Ready to build your prayer life?

#194 - Feed Your Gut, Heal Your Body: The Microbiome Fix You've Never Tried   Feed Your Gut, Heal Your Life: How to Rebuild Your Microbiome (and Your Energy) with Anu Simh What if your gut wasn't just about digestion — but the foundation of your immune system, metabolism, hormones, mood, and energy? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Anu Simh, board-certified functional health coach, microbiome specialist, and author of Flourish From Within: Feed Your Gut for Lifelong Health. She's also the founder of The Nine Arms of Wellness, where she helps women lose weight, balance inflammation, and rebuild health through a microbiome-first approach. Anu's story starts with what she calls the “American Dream diet” — late nights, bottomless brunches, and too much stress — and how that led to autoimmune issues, chronic bloating, and inflammation. What she discovered (years before gut health was trendy) completely changed her life — and her clients'. You'll learn:

Maggie's recovery story will resonate with runners and women who learned to equate control, performance, and worth with staying small. After years of restriction, being told she was “healthy,” and struggling to maintain cycles while trying to conceive, Maggie realized recovery required more than willpower.Through the Restore Program, coaching, and community inside The HA Society, she learned to let go of body control, navigate weight gain, and rebuild trust in her body, even when the process wasn't linear. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing often begins when we give ourselves permission to honor what our bodies actually need.Apply for the Restore Your Fertility Group Program | Starts January 19th 2026https://thehasociety.com/restore-liveWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffThe Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

A.J. Daulerio exists as a caricature to a lot of people because he was the guy who published a clip from a Hulk Hogan sex tape on Gawker, got sued by Hogan, and he and Gawker lost to the tune of a $140 million payout. The enmity and shame of that was a lot to carry around, as was a lifelong battle with depression and bipolar disorder type II, as was a pretty profound problem with drug and alcohol abuse. But A.J. sobered up, got treatment, got therapy, and began to devote his energy to stories of hope and healing in his Small Bow podcast and newsletter. So now he's fine and it's a happy ending, right? Well, no, mental health is more complicated than that. A.J. shares with us a pretty terrifying story he hasn't shared anywhere before about a brush with self-harm that occurred very recently. It's a story that shows how a human being, especially one that deals with mental illness, may be on an overall mission to get healthier but it's pretty complicated and, unlike the movies, it doesn't follow a clean narrative arc. All you can do is try to be better and A.J.'s efforts, and this interview, may help with that.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.
