Vitamin K2 (MK-7) and Coronary Artery Calcification: Insights from a 2-Year Trial: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses a two-year randomized clinical trial in JAMA Cardiology from Maastricht University Medical Center reporting that daily vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7) at 360 mcg slowed progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in 180 patients with confirmed atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and baseline CAC 50–400 Agatston units. Compared with placebo, consistent MK-7 use was associated with 29% lower CAC progression and 42% less arterial calcium mass progression, though CAC still increased in both groups; stenosis increases were numerically lower with MK-7 but not statistically significant. Leyla notes many participants were on statins and were smokers, highlighting that statins can raise CAC by stabilizing soft plaque via calcification. The trial suggests MK-7 may slow calcification in newer plaques, may improve arterial elasticity via matrix GLA protein activation, is inexpensive and safe, but clinical event reduction remains unproven; Leyla suggests considering MK-7 (possibly 360 mcg) with vitamin D, magnesium, and dietary measures.

— Welcome to A Quest for Well-Being! Imagine waking up every day feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep. Simple tasks become overwhelming, your energy disappears without warning, and despite countless doctor visits, tests, treatments, and well-meaning advice, nothing seems to help. For the millions of people living with chronic fatigue syndrome this is a daily reality. Yet recovery stories do exist. Today, we'll explore what Chronic Fatigue Syndrome really is, why so many people struggle to find effective solutions, and what approaches may help when conventional methods have fallen short. We'll discuss the role of the nervous system, stress, lifestyle, emotional well-being, and the practical steps that can support healing and recovery. If you or someone you love has ever struggled with chronic fatigue, burnout, unexplained exhaustion, or the feeling of losing hope after trying everything, this conversation is for you. Valeria interviews Miguel Bautista — He is the founder of CFS Recovery, a global recovery program helping people overcome Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Long Covid, fibromyalgia, and related nervous system-driven conditions.  After personally spending years bedridden, hospitalized, and searching for answers to debilitating symptoms, Miguel developed a structured recovery approach centered on nervous system regulation, behavioral recalibration, and long-term stability. Today, CFS Recovery has helped thousands of people worldwide regain function, rebuild confidence, and return to living full lives. Miguel is known for simplifying complex recovery concepts into practical, actionable frameworks that help people move from surviving to thriving.

Sometimes, you are so consumed by caring for a loved one with a serious mental illness, like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, that taking a moment for yourself feels like a betrayal. In this episode, host Gabe Howard and Dr. C. Alec Pollard reveal the hidden crisis of caregiver burnout in the world of serious mental illness. They dismantle the myth that self-care is selfish, showing how neglecting your own needs can worsen stress and strain the very relationships you cherish.   Dr. Pollard dives into the toxic beliefs that trap caregivers—those who support individuals with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other severe conditions—into a cycle of resentment and exhaustion. With breakthrough strategies and compassionate advice, this episode offers a wake-up call for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the relentless demands of caregiving. Learn how nurturing yourself not only protects your well-being but also empowers you to care more effectively for your loved one. “If you can do no good, at least do no harm. A lot of the, the things that families don't understand and caregivers is that they're actually doing things that not only they know it doesn't work okay. When they're doing these things, these naggings and lectures and all that, they know it's not working. But what they may not appreciate is it's actually making things worse over time.” ~C. Alec Pollard, PhD Our guest, C. Alec Pollard, Ph.D., is Founding Director of the Center for OCD and Anxiety-Related Disorders at Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute and Professor Emeritus of Family and Community Medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nathan Jones, founder and CEO of Xlear, Inc.

Nathan Jones, founder and CEO of Xlear, Inc., reveals xylitol's role in supporting oral and nasal “gateway” microbiomes by selectively starving acid-producing Strep mutans rather than indiscriminately killing bacteria, and warns that harsh mouthwashes can disrupt beneficial oral bacteria linked to nitric oxide production and possibly blood pressure. Jones outlines Spry and Xlear products (gum, mints, toothpaste, mouthwash, dry-mouth “Rain,” and upcoming gummy candies, a new dental probiotic with added nutrients, and a direct-to-consumer oral bacteria test kit with pre/post tracking). He discusses diet, emphasizing sugar as a key driver of cavities and criticizing limited focus on sugar in a Surgeon General oral health report. In part two, Jones describes ongoing and planned legal actions against the FTC over shifting evidentiary standards and reputational damage, then reviews Xlear's allergy and respiratory approach via nasal hygiene, product tiers (regular, Max with quercetin, Rescue botanicals, and a decongestant), and a forthcoming ectoine-based spray to support mucus barrier integrity.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, I had an inspiring conversation with Björn Axelsson, EVP and CHRO at Sandvik, to unpack how one of Sweden's largest industrial technology companies is changing the way people think about mining, manufacturing, AI, sustainability, and future talent.Björn explains why mining is one of the most misunderstood industries in the talent market. Many people still picture it as old-fashioned, unsafe, or disconnected from the future, when in reality Sandvik has been working with autonomous vehicles, connected fleets, electrified equipment, digital mining, software, and AI-powered solutions for years.Most importantly, Björn shares how Sandvik is building a future-ready workforce by investing in STEM talent, early careers, mining academies, global mobility, employee-led storytelling, AI adoption, and local communities, all while helping customers access the minerals needed for the green transition.

Humility is one of the most quietly powerful practices for positive psychology and mental health. It's also one of the most misunderstood. Here's the heart of it: humility is not a weakness. It's not about making yourself small or performing modesty for social approval. It's an accurate, grounded sense of self, what Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren calls "right-sizing." You own your strengths and weaknesses. And you hold your worth steady through all of it. We explored four types of humility this month: relational, intellectual, cultural, and existential. And we worked through three core ingredients to build humility up: Know Yourself. This is where self-compassion becomes essential. Self-knowledge without self-compassion tends to slide into rumination — that harsh, looping self-focus that keeps us stuck. Dr. Kristin Neff's research reminds us that genuine self-reflection requires feeling safe enough to look clearly, without bracing for an attack. When self-compassion is in place, honest self-awareness becomes possible. So does recognizing things like the better-than-average effect, which is our tendency to unconsciously and inaccurately position ourselves as a little more right, and others a little more wrong. Humility gently corrects that drift. Check Yourself. This is ego territory. When we feel threatened, the ego rises up. We deflect, deny, shut down, intellectualize. It's a very human, very normal response. But it doesn't have to run the show. One of the most practical tools from this series: when you feel defensive, pause. Breathe. Then ask yourself, "What would I think if I weren't feeling defensive?" That question can create some space for the ego to stand down and lets emotional regulation take over instead of reactivity. Go Beyond Yourself. This is where the magic of humility really shows itself as we build a genuine curiosity about other people and life's bigger questions. The self-forgetfulness that C.S. Lewis describes as essential to humility puts it all into action. When we're not so consumed by ourselves, the world opens up. And that's where connection, meaning, and joy actually show up in more noticeable, lasting ways. If you've worked through this series and feel less certain than when you started, that's not a problem. That's the practice of humility in action. Sitting with uncertainty, tolerating what's unresolved, resisting the cultural pressure toward easy answers and performed confidence is peak courage. It's often uncomfortable and it's always worth it. If this work has stirred something that feels bigger than you want to carry alone, please reach out to a therapist, a trusted friend, or a support community. Seeking support isn't weakness. It's an act of humility and one of the most courageous things you can do. And for Joy Lab Program members: your Episode Experiment includes a guided meditation and journal prompts to help you harvest and integrate the work you've done this month.  We close with Rilke (we know, we close with Rilke a lot!): "Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves." Keep tending to your humility. It grows good things.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Wendell Berry's book Standing by Words   Common Questions: Q: How do I stop being so hard on myself without losing self-awareness? A: Self-compassion and self-knowledge are partners. As researcher Dr. Kristin Neff puts it, "You can look clearly at yourself when you're not afraid of what you'll find." Self-compassion creates the psychological safety for honest, accurate self-appraisal, replacing harsh rumination with compassionate self-reflection. Humility is the result: an accurate, grounded sense of self that's neither inflated nor deflated. Q: Why does being humble feel so uncomfortable and countercultural? A: Because in many ways, it is. We live in a world that often rewards certainty, self-promotion, and being right, even when those things don't actually nourish us. Building humility means opening up to uncertainty and the unknown, which takes real courage. The good news is that discomfort is also building something called uncertainty-tolerance, a form of emotional resilience that reaches across every area of your life in really nourishing ways.   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome & orientation — Aimee frames the three-part humility arc (Know Yourself → Check Yourself → Go Beyond Yourself) [01:30] Henry's realization: humility, like every Joy Lab Element, is ultimately about learning to love well and connect more deeply [03:00] Why humility is the antidote to loneliness — the difference between being surrounded by people and being genuinely seen; how isolation is really a form of alienation [05:00] What it feels like to be with a truly humble person — and why humility makes us safer, more trustworthy, and more magnetic in relationships and communities [06:30] The traffic circle of defensiveness — Aimee on why the risk of being burned by someone is still better than a lifetime of self-protective looping [07:30] Epistemic humility explained — the idea that your understanding of reality is always partial, always filtered, always a vantage point. And so is everyone else's. (Plus: a pronunciation debate.) [08:45] Why disagreement doesn't mean someone is wrong, and how truth is larger than any one person's grasp of it [10:30] William James on the deepest craving in human nature: to be appreciated and seen [11:00] Two practical strategies for going beyond yourself: (1) deep, active listening as a humility practice — not formulating your response, but truly receiving another person; (2) seeing the innocence of others [12:30] Thich Nhat Hanh: "Listen until they empty their hearts." Henry shares this as a guide for showing up and listening [13:30] Seeing the innocence in others — Henry's 30+ years of clinical wisdom distilled: most people are doing the best they can with what they have, right now. How holding that awareness softens judgment without eliminating boundaries [15:30] Aimee reflects: "That's the wisdom I'd want somebody to hold when they see me messing up."

Nitric Oxide Explained: Vascular Health, Exercise Performance, and N1o1 with Dr. Nathan Bryan, international Leader in Molecular Medicine, the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. He details NO as a ubiquitous messenger affecting blood flow, erectile function, cognition, exercise performance, endothelial dysfunction, and aging-related declines in NO production. Bryan explains why PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra prolong cyclic GMP signaling but don't fix NO deficiency, and why beet products often fail due to variable nitrate content and inadequate dosing. He outlines his NO lozenge approach that generates NO gas from sodium nitrite and magnesium ascorbate, plus a fermented beet powder drink (NOBeets), and emphasizes the role of oral bacteria (and harms of antiseptic mouthwash/fluoride) in nitrate conversion. They review published endpoints, including flow-mediated dilation, blood pressure effects, inflammation markers, triglycerides, stem cells, plaque regression, applications to Alzheimer's, glaucoma/microvascular disease, safety/dosing considerations, risks of arginine supplementation, and a dual-chamber topical NO serum developed from wound-healing experience.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Nathan Bryan, international Leader in Molecular Medicine, the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. 

Sharyn Donaghy works with elite athletes on a daily basis and will tell you that a lot of them are missing the foundational skill sets to thrive outside their sport. It's nothing to do with their physical skills or their times. Instead, it's everything to do with the structures, practices and belief in yourself outside of sport - mental health, sleep, career development, financial literacy and social connection. If you have a teen who plays sport, it's so important to listen to this conversation. You can follow Sharyn for more great advice on Instagram at Educate to Elevate. We highly recommend it!

Have you ever noticed that when you're growing, it's often hard to see it? Day by day, the changes seem small. Almost invisible. But when you pause and look back, you realize you've traveled farther than you thought. Today marks the completion of our first week together. Over the past seven days, you've practiced awareness, presence, heart-centered breathing, opening your heart through the Lotus Mudra, reconnecting with joy through the Second Chakra, and weaving these practices together through mindful integration. Tonight is not about learning something new. It's about noticing what is already changing. In this special weekly review meditation, you'll be invited to reflect on the journey you've taken, celebrate the habits you've begun to cultivate, and reconnect with the calm, wisdom, and resilience that have been growing within you all week long. Because transformation rarely arrives all at once. It arrives one mindful moment at a time. Today's intention: "I honor the person I am becoming." Take a deep breath, settle into gratitude, and let's reflect on the beautiful journey you've already begun. A Daily Message to Your Heart. Dear Friend, Before we begin today, I'd like to ask you a simple question. When was the last time you paused to acknowledge yourself? Not for achieving something. Not for checking another item off your list. But simply for continuing to show up. Over the past week, you've given yourself the gift of slowing down, listening inward, and creating space for what truly matters. That may not seem like much in a world that celebrates constant motion. But it matters more than you know. The habits you're building aren't just changing your days. They're changing the way you experience your life. So today, I hope you'll be gentle with yourself. I hope you'll recognize your progress, even if it feels small. And I hope you'll remember that every mindful moment you've practiced this week is a seed you've planted. Trust that it is growing. Even when you cannot yet see the bloom. I'm so grateful you're here.

I can't miss this opportunity."Es: A pesar del frío que se sentía cada vez más cortante, el salón comunitario desbordaba de energía cívica.En: Despite the cold that felt increasingly biting, the community hall overflowed with civic energy.Es: La gente charlaba animadamente y se escuchaban risas aquí y allá, mientras niños corrían con banderitas entre la multitud.En: People chatted animatedly, and laughter could be heard here and there, while children ran with little flags among the crowd.Es: Sin embargo, para Lucía, el ambiente era apenas un murmullo distante.En: However, for Lucía, the environment was scarcely more than a distant murmur.Es: Cada vez que su cuerpo protestaba con una punzada de dolor, apretaba los dientes y fijaba su atención en la urna que la esperaba al final de la fila.En: Each time her body protested with a stab of pain, she gritted her teeth and fixed her attention on the ballot box waiting for her at the end of the line.Es: De repente, Ramón, un médico que trabajaba como voluntario, se acercó a ellos.En: Suddenly, Ramón, a doctor volunteering there, approached them.Es: Había pasado por la fila observando a cada persona con ojo clínico, asegurándose de que todos estuvieran bien.En: He had been walking along the line, observing each person with a clinical eye, making sure everyone was okay.Es: Al notar el estado de Lucía, se alarmó inmediatamente.En: Noticing Lucía's state, he was immediately alarmed.Es: "Señora, necesita atención médica", le dijo Ramón con seriedad.En: "Ma'am, you need medical attention," Ramón said seriously.Es: "Por favor, acompáñeme."En: "Please, come with me."Es: Lucía vaciló.En: Lucía hesitated.Es: Ella sabía que Ramón tenía razón, pero su deber como ciudadana pesaba mucho en su corazón.En: She knew Ramón was right, but her duty as a citizen weighed heavily on her heart.Es: Javier la miró con súplica en los ojos.En: Javier looked at her with pleading eyes.Es: "Por favor, escucha a Ramón."En: "Please, listen to Ramón."Es: Pensativa, Lucía siguió avanzando lentamente en la fila, ignorando el creciente malestar.En: Thoughtful, Lucía continued advancing slowly in line, ignoring the growing discomfort.Es: Sin embargo, justo cuando estaba a punto de llegar a la mesa de votación, sintió que el mundo se desvanecía.En: However, just as she was about to reach the voting table, she felt the world fade away.Es: En un instante, su visión se nubló y cayó al suelo.En: In an instant, her vision blurred and she fell to the ground.Es: El caos se desató en el centro de votación.En: Chaos erupted in the voting center.Es: La gente gritaba y los voluntarios pedían espacio para que Ramón pudiera acercarse.En: People shouted, and the volunteers called for space so Ramón could approach.Es: Con calma y experiencia, Ramón revisó rápidamente a Lucía, estabilizándola.En: With calm and experience, Ramón quickly checked on Lucía, stabilizing her.Es: "Necesitamos una ambulancia.En: "We need an ambulance.Es: Rápido".En: Quickly."Es: La preocupación en el rostro de Javier se transformó en alivio al ver que Ramón sabía qué hacer.En: The concern on Javier's face turned to relief upon seeing that Ramón knew what to do.Es: La ambulancia llegó pronto, y Lucía fue llevada al hospital más cercano.En: The ambulance arrived soon, and Lucía was taken to the nearest hospital.Es: Camino al hospital, Lucía pensó en su misión no cumplida, pero Ramón la tranquilizó.En: On the way to the hospital, Lucía thought about her unfulfilled mission, but Ramón reassured her.Es: "Puedes votar desde el hospital.En: "You can vote from the hospital.Es: No te preocupes, lo importante ahora eres tú."En: Don't worry, what's important now is you."Es: En la sala de emergencia, mientras recibía tratamiento, Lucía reflexionó.En: In the emergency room, while receiving treatment, Lucía reflected.Es: Había querido cumplir con su deber, pero se dio cuenta de que escuchar a su cuerpo era igual de importante.En: She had wanted to fulfill her duty, but she realized that listening to her body was equally important.Es: Ya más tranquila, se alegró cuando pudo llenar una papeleta desde su cama, logrando así cumplir con su voto.En: Feeling calmer, she was delighted when she could fill out a ballot from her bed, thus achieving her vote.Es: Desde ese día, Lucía prometió cuidar de su salud con la misma dedicación que le daba a sus deberes cívicos.En: From that day on, Lucía promised to take care of her health with the same dedication she gave to her civic duties.Es: Y así, en un frío Día de la Bandera, en lugar de sólo cumplir con una obligación, aprendió una valiosa lección sobre el equilibrio entre el deber y el bienestar personal.En: And so, on a cold Día de la Bandera, instead of just fulfilling an obligation, she learned a valuable lesson about balancing duty with personal well-being.

Sleep, Glymphatic Detox, and the Hidden Heart Risks of Sleep Apnea: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explains how sleep supports brain “housekeeping” via the glymphatic system, a glial-lymphatic waste-clearance network most active during sleep that moves cerebrospinal fluid through brain spaces to remove metabolites and toxic proteins such as amyloid beta, with sleep deprivation linked to amyloid accumulation. She notes other clearance pathways, including meningeal lymphatic vessels, whose impaired function is associated with neurodegenerative disease and brain injury. Reviews of human studies suggest sleep influences glymphatic outcomes, though results are inconsistent and methods vary. She emphasizes that poor sleep is associated with dementia risk, depressive symptoms, cardiovascular events, mortality, and impaired glucose metabolism, and highlights lifestyle strategies that may improve sleep. She warns that untreated obstructive sleep apnea accelerates cardiovascular aging via intermittent hypoxia and inflammation, raising blood pressure and cardiovascular event risk, while treatment (e.g., CPAP) may halt or reverse damage.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Marcus Collins, Best-Selling Author, Keynote Speaker and Professor at University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business, to unpack why culture is the most powerful force shaping human behavior, inside and outside organizations.Marcus explains why most companies misunderstand culture by reducing it to slogans, rituals, values, or “how we do things around here.” In reality, culture starts with how people think, what they believe, how they make meaning, and what behaviors those shared beliefs produce.Most importantly, he reveals why the future of work will not be won by technology alone. It will be won by organizations that understand the culture of work, align the front stage and backstage of the business, and build environments where people are truly connected to the beliefs, behaviors, and conviction behind the work.

For many working mothers and women running businesses, time often feels like their most limited resource. Between professional responsibilities, family commitments, and household demands, personal well-being can easily take a back seat. Reclaiming time for yourself isn't about finding extra hours in the day, it is about making intentional choices that prioritise your energy, boundaries, and self-care. Small changes can lead to greater balance, reduced stress, and a more fulfilling life.In this episode of the Wellbeing 4 Mothers show, Dr. Dunni explores practical ways to reclaim time for you.Key Takeaways- Recognise that rest is essential- Schedule yourself first - Delegate and simplify- Value the power of leverageBook Recommendation Take Back Your Time – Christy WrightJoin the Bookclubhttps://www.drdunni.clubCONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA  Ig- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drdunni.lifecoach/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9C1oJwHyISEuqiX8USaYKg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CH- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.clubhouse.com/@drdunni-druwa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FB- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/druwaacademy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/drdunni⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HOST BIOYour host, Dr Dunni, is the award-winning mum empowerment coach, Family doctor, International speaker, Best-selling author of the book ‘Every Mum is a Super Mum' and a mum herself who is passionate about health and wellbeing.

What can food tell us about who we are?This month, we visit with Kendal Garlow, a Kanyen'kehà:ka food sovereigntist, entrepreneur, and recent graduate of McMaster University's Master of Indigenous Studies program.Through a Haudenosaunee lens, Kendal explores the relationships between food, identity, language, health, community, history, and belonging. Her master's research asked a deceptively simple question: How do Haudenosaunee food decisions influence identity, and vice versa?In this conversation, Kendal shares how Indigenous methodologies shaped her research process, why relationships mattered more than extraction, and what she learned from a significant so-called "failure" in previous academic adventures. Not a spoiler - but she let herself release the program, then came back super strong in her Indigenous Studies masters. She also discusses a decision that challenges conventional academic expectations: choosing not to publish portions of her research in order to protect the identities and stories of community members, including residential school survivors.Along the way, we talk about food sovereignty, Indigenous education, community wellbeing, and her work co-founding SproutSync, an Indigenous-led greenhouse technology company working to increase access to fresh food in communities.In this episode you'll learn:-How Haudenosaunee food systems shape identity, culture, and community wellbeing-How failure can be our greatest teacher -What Indigenous research methodologies look like in practice-Why relationships and responsibility matter in research-How food connects to language, health, memory, and belonging-What food sovereignty means beyond nutrition and agriculture - especially in food deserts such as Six Nations of the Grand River-Why some knowledge is meant to be cared for rather than published-How Indigenous entrepreneurship can support community food securityWhether you're interested in Indigenous knowledge, research, food systems, community development, entrepreneurship, or simply understanding the deeper stories carried by the foods we eat, Kendal offers practical insights and powerful reflections rooted in Haudenosaunee ways of knowing.Guest BioKendal Garlow is a Kanyen'kehà:ka woman from Six Nations of the Grand River, Wolf Clan, food sovereigntist, entrepreneur, and graduate of McMaster University's Master of Indigenous Studies program.Her work explores the intersections of food, identity, health, culture, and community through a Haudenosaunee perspective. Drawing on her background in psychology, Indigenous Studies, and community-based research, Kendal has focused on understanding how food choices both shape and reflect Indigenous identity.Kendal has also worked with Six Nations Department of Well-Being and food-focused initiatives that connect Indigenous foods with community health. In 2025, she and her husband Thomas Sweeney launched SproutSync, an Indigenous-led greenhouse technology company designed to help communities increase access to affordable, locally grown food.Links & Resources:Food, Identity, Sovereignty and Health: Kendal Garlow Connects the DotsKendal Garlow, SproutSync Ltd., Wins 2025 Pow Wow PitchKendal's Sprout Sync WebsiteCreditsHosted by Kahstoserakwathe Produced by The Aunties DandelionCo-Auntie and Treaty Partner: Tamara LouksEditor: Eve KrogmanAudio Engineer: Mariana Hutten Czapski#ListenToYourAunties Hosted on Acast.

A healthier workplace does not start with another wellness app. It starts with the culture your people live in every day.

— Today, it is a joy to welcome Gideon Enok to A Quest for Well-Being. Since 2010, Gideon has traveled the world, lived in multiple countries, and walked more than 7,000 kilometers with a backpack. He describes himself not simply as a traveler, but as a pilgrim on a lifelong journey of discovery, growth, and transformation. Gideon is the author of The Pilgrim Spirit: The Longer You Walk, The Deeper You Go, a powerful memoir inspired by an extraordinary 3,500-kilometer walk from Denmark to Santiago de Compostela during the height of the 2020 pandemic. At one of the lowest points in his life, he heard an inner calling that led him on a five-month pilgrimage across Europe—a journey that ultimately brought him greater serenity, purpose, self-understanding, and even true love. At the heart of Gideon's work is a beautiful message: that life itself is a pilgrimage, that every person we meet is a fellow traveler, and that what matters most is not where the journey takes us, but who we become along the way. Today, we'll explore the lessons he learned through millions of steps on the Camino de Santiago, the transformative power of trusting life's callings, the wisdom of the pilgrim spirit, and how courage, resilience, gratitude, and openness can guide us toward a more meaningful life. Valeria interviews  Gideon Enok — He is the author of  "The Pilgrim Spirit: The Longer You Walk, The Deeper You Go - Walking 3,500 km Toward a New Life on the Camino de Santiago." Gideon has traveled the world since 2010 and has lived in several countries, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Slovakia, and Spain. He has walked over 7,000 km with a backpack and considers himself a pilgrim on a lifelong pilgrimage. A couple of years before the long journey, Gideon had written down a bucket list of over 100 things he wanted to learn, experience, accomplish, and places he wanted to visit, as well as people he wanted to meet. At the top of the list, he wanted to have dinner with his favorite author, Gregory David Roberts, who is the author of the International Bestselling book Shantaram. It was an impossible task, because he was no longer in public life.  Nevertheless, Gideon often looked for when Gregory got online again, and when he did, he began following him, and eventually Gideon and Gregory found each other and amplified the maxim that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, and how the starting point for the book The Pilgrim Spirit began. A few years later, when the finishing touches was made on the book, Gideon was in Finisterre again, and on a walk toward the 0,0 km marker at The End of The World, he laid eyes on K, found true love and they are still together.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with pediatrician and author Dr. Elizabeth Mumper.

Pandemic Policies, Vaccines, and Harms to Children: pediatrician and author Dr. Elizabeth Mumper discusses her book “Kids and COVID: Costly Mistakes That Must Never Happen Again.” Mumper argues parents should question authorities, citing early pandemic decisions such as lockdowns, masking, and a “one size fits all” vaccine strategy despite children's low risk from COVID. She supports the Great Barrington Declaration's focus on protecting high-risk groups and criticizes suppression of repurposed treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. The discussion raises concerns about mRNA vaccine safety, biodistribution of lipid nanoparticles, underreporting to VAERS, loss of long-term control groups, myocarditis risk in young males, and claims of severe neurologic effects and “turbo cancers.” Mumper describes developmental, educational, and mental-health harms from masking and school closures, challenges vaccine mandates as violating informed consent, explains the cell danger response concept, and criticizes Paxlovid while favoring integrative approaches.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, I had an inspiring conversation with Kelly Costanza, Chief People Officer at CAVA, to unpack how one of the fastest-growing restaurant brands is turning culture, hospitality, and frontline careers into a real business advantage.Kelly shares why culture cannot just be a word on a wall. At CAVA, culture is operationalized through values, competencies, recognition, career pathways, frontline listening, stock grants, mental health benefits, and leadership rituals that make the employee experience feel just as intentional as the guest experience.Most importantly, Kelly explains how CAVA is building a place where people can have a career, not just a job, from hourly team members growing into general managers, to leaders staying connected to the restaurants through shoulder-to-shoulder service, town halls, and practical feedback from the frontline.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography, Trent Bell sits down with architect and author Danish Kurani to discuss his latest book, The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World.  Trent and Danish explore the powerful ways architecture and environmental design shape our psychology, behavior, relationships, and overall well-being. From the spaces we grow up in to the cities we move through every day, the discuss how thoughtful design can influence how we connect, feel, and live. The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World: https://www.amazon.com/Spaces-That-Make-Us-Healthier/dp/1400249120 About Danish Kurani: Danish Kurani sees how buildings are failing to nourish people. After witnessing how poorly designed environments hold back people across the globe – from the middle of Manhattan to villages in India – he's made it his mission to remake architecture for human flourishing. His groundbreaking designs for New York City, Google, and communities on four continents prove that thoughtful architecture can unlock human potential. Named one of the World's Most Innovative Architects by Fast Company, Kurani has pioneered a human-centered approach that's transforming lives worldwide. His work spans from floating homes in disaster-prone areas to schools in informal settlements, always focusing on one question: how can architecture solve our most pressing social challenges?  A Harvard-trained architect and urban designer, Kurani's architectural ideas have been shared at leading institutions including Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and Columbia, and featured in TIME, World Economic Forum, and the Wall Street Journal. National governments recognize him as a leading voice in social impact architecture – not because he builds beautiful buildings, but because he builds spaces that work for real people.

This led him to stop using it and started to explore alternative options.Maik describes the side effects he experienced, and how they can gradually creep up on you. He also shares how losing his hair began to have an impact on his self esteem and confidence.He tried lots of products and began to find a combination of things that worked for him. He then developed Neofollics, as he wanted something that was effective but gentle enough to use long term, balancing efficacy with being user friendly.We discuss what can influence the quality of the hair, the chain of cause and effect, and how the concentration and amount of active ingredients can help the potency of any products or treatments.Connect with Maik: Instagram Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Support the showConnect with Hair therapy:FacebookInstagramTwitterClubhouse- @Hair.TherapyHair Therapy WebsiteDonate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert!

Quotes from the episode Naming goes so far back in, even just in literary terms, the importance of naming. -Jeanie Tietjen There is still a very nascent and as yet relatively unarticulated understanding of how profoundly trauma, adversity, and violence adversely affect teaching and learning. -Jeanie Tietjen Many students have experienced traumas that are situated in educational settings, bullying experiences that are identity-based, that profoundly shape how they feel about the educational setting as a place. -Jeanie Tietjen Learning is very vulnerable. It involves being wrong, failing, failing in front of other people. -Jeanie Tietjen Resources Naming the Urgency: The Importance of Trauma-Informed Practices in Community Colleges, by Jeanie Tietjen (chapter) Trauma Informed Pedagogies: A Guide for Responding to Crisis and Inequality in Higher Education, edited by Phyllis Thompson and Janice Carello The Institute for Trauma, Adversity, and Resilience in Higher Education Supporting the Whole Student: Mental Health, Substance Use, and Wellbeing in Higher Education (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) What Happened to You?
