Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about slowmaxxing, the viral trend that flips hustle culture on its head. Is the answer to burnout really found in 48-hour chocolate chip cookies and 15-minute coffee rituals, or is that taking things a little too far? Jenn breaks down what slowmaxxing really means, why it might be the antidote to internet brain rot, and how it connects to the priorities we already claim to care about. Does slowing down mean getting less done, or could it be the missing piece that makes everything else work better? Tune in to hear how Jenn is putting this trend to the test in her own life, and whether she thinks it is worth adopting or just another wellness fad dressed up with a new name.

In this conversation, I sit down with Brian Withers, author, life coach, and creator of Higher Vibrations Now, to explore manifestation from a different lens. Manifestation, not as wishful thinking. Not as forcing the universe to give us what we want. But as a deeper education in thought, emotion, vibration, and the power we have to choose the meaning we give to life. Brian's work centres on personal empowerment, that our emotions are not random but offer guidance. That the way we think about ourselves, our experiences, our struggles, and our desires shapes the energy we live from. And that when we begin to change the way we see, speak, and respond to life, the world we experience begins to change with us. We speak about contrast, grief, childhood programming, the stories we inherit, and why so many of us unconsciously create from old beliefs rather than from who we truly are. Brian explains what he calls the “creative process,” the role of the Law of Attraction, and why negative emotion may not be something to fear, but a signal pointing us back towards a truer perspective. This is also a conversation about responsibility in the most liberating sense. The responsibility to notice our thoughts. To choose our focus. To stop letting the outside world dictate our inner state. And to remember that the energy we carry into the world is not just personal; it contributes to the collective. At its heart, this episode is about reclaiming authorship of your life. About learning to tell a new story. And perhaps, about realising that nothing has gone wrong, we have simply forgotten how powerful we are. About Brian  Brian Withers, HCT, CECP, is a life coach, author, personal empowerment teacher, and the creator of Higher Vibrations Now. His work focuses on helping people understand and shift their personal energy vibration through present-moment thought choices, emotional awareness, and what he describes as personal vibration training. He is the author of Higher Vibrations for Health, Happiness and Harmony, Higher Vibrations for a Healthy, Happy and Harmonious Relationship, and The Book of Life. His first book includes a 20-week programme designed to help people shift into a more positively focused mind, while The Book of Life explores what Brian calls the Creative Process Cycle, a framework for understanding why we are here, who we are, and how life works. Brian holds a certification in Health and Wellness Coaching and is also a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner. Through his books, coaching, online teachings, and YouTube channel, he shares practical tools for changing thought patterns, understanding emotional guidance, and returning to what he describes as our natural high-vibration state. His work is rooted in the belief that health, happiness, harmony, and personal transformation are available to everyone when we learn how to work with our own thoughts, emotions, and energy.   Feelings with Strangers YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@FeelingswithStrangers/videos Socials https://www.instagram.com/feelings.with.strangers/   Brian Withers YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@brianwithers357 Socials https://www.instagram.com/theknowledgeoflife/ Site highervibrationsnow.com  

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston is joined by Dr. Tina Koopersmith, a veteran OB-GYN, fertility specialist, and "woman’s health champion" with over 30 years of experience. Together, they pull back the curtain on a topic often kept "under the table": sexual health and somatic intimacy. Dr. Tina challenges the conventional Western medical model by introducing the concept of Erotic Blueprints. She explains why many women feel like a "head on a stick"—disconnected from their bodies due to stress, hyper-vigilance, and societal pressures. This conversation shifts the focus from simple libido to a deeper understanding of our "sensation systems," exploring how safety, breathwork, and energy flow are the true foundations of pleasure. Key highlights from this episode include: The Five Erotic Archetypes: A breakdown of the Energetic, Sensual, Sexual, Kinky, and Shapeshifter blueprints and how they dictate how we experience pleasure. The Safety-Pleasure Connection: Why the body must feel safe to invite in reproduction and extreme joy. Intimacy as "Into-Me-You-See": Redefining connection beyond the physical act to include spirit, breath, and emotional transparency. Creating Your Life: A powerful look at the transition into menopause as a time to stop creating new life and start creating your own life. Whether you are looking to revitalize a long-term relationship or simply want to re-meet yourself after years of putting others first, this episode offers a refreshing, integrative look at what it means to live an erotic, empowered life. About Today's Guest Dr. Tina Koopersmith is a physician, coach, and speaker. She is the author of the bestselling book Your Healing Playground and host of the podcast by the same name. She specializes in helping women move from a state of survival to a state of play through integrative and somatic healing.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition: Using Saliva Testing, Food Sensitivity Labs, and Lifestyle to Find Root Causes: Reed Davis, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), is founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). He discusses using functional testing alongside conventional care to uncover “dysfunction” when standard labs appear normal. Davis describes assessing adrenal and metabolic stress via saliva testing for circadian cortisol patterns, cortisol-DHEA balance, sex hormones, secretory IgA, and melatonin, emphasizing clinical correlation and individualized “studies of one.” He outlines an approach targeting multiple “healing opportunities” (H-I-D-D-E-N: hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy, nervous system) and applying D-R-E-S-S (diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, supplementation) rather than relying on supplements alone. A case example links chronic hives, medication-related weight gain, and food triggers identified through additional testing, including the Mediator Release Test. The discussion also covers stress-driven gut dysbiosis, digestion decline, and EFT tapping for stress-related symptoms, and notes FDN practitioners can be found via FDNtraining.com/medicine.

In this powerful episode, the crew sits down with Australian former police officer, detective, wellness coach, and first responder advocate Erin Jane for an honest conversation about firefighter mental health, relationships, burnout, trauma, and resilience. Erin shares her journey from law enforcement in Australia to becoming a first responder wellness coach in the United States after meeting her firefighter husband in Berlin. She opens up about losing her father to suicide, volunteering on crisis hotlines, and why she felt called to create a space where first responders can talk openly without judgment. The crew dives deep into “cab therapy” and kitchen table conversations in the firehouse — why firefighters use dark humor to cope, why those conversations matter, and why sometimes they still aren't enough. Matt talks about missing the firehouse camaraderie while recovering from a heart attack and how the laughs inside the engine cab can become part of the healing process. Erin explains the importance of being intentional about wellness, from creating routines and exercising first thing in the morning to grounding yourself, decompressing after shift, and learning how to recognize stress before it spirals into burnout, divorce, addiction, or worse. The conversation also explores:The physiological effects of trauma and sleep deprivationWhy first responders struggle to ask for helpFear of stigma, losing careers, or appearing weakHow communication impacts firefighter marriagesWhy resentment can destroy relationshipsThe importance of self-awareness and emotional regulationThe reality of chronic sleep deprivation in the fire serviceHealthy coping strategies vs. maladaptive behaviors Doug asks Erin what firefighters and cops are best at hiding, and her answer hits hard: fear. The crew discusses how many first responders silently carry stress, trauma, and emotional exhaustion while pretending everything is fine. The episode balances heavy topics with plenty of laughs, including Erin introducing the now legendary “Sodomy Scale” — a humorous communication system she and her firefighter husband use to explain how rough a shift was without needing to relive every detail. The crew also talks about:

This episode reunites Pete with original co-host Todd to reflect on their five-year podcast journey, friendship, and evolving life experiences. They dive into research showing that optimism isn't just a mindset but a measurable, trainable factor that significantly impacts stress, health, longevity, and resilience. The conversation explores how optimistic thinking differs from toxic positivity and how our responses to challenges—not the challenges themselves—shape our well-being. Blending science with personal stories, they highlight the ongoing, imperfect work of cultivating awareness, perspective, and gratitude in everyday life.Link to article discussed:https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/optimism-medicine-how-mental-attitudes-shape-health-tony-medrano-wykjc?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_viaContact Pete: schoolingstrugglepodcast@gmail.comPersonal Health & Wellness Coaching:petedriscoll.com

A unique group with unique problems.The coach and I worked through 5 pervasive myths—beliefs this coach held— that kept them from identifying a specific audience and niche they would love.Then it was easy to break through to a smart choice that fit the coach well.Let's bust the 5 myths once and for all in this episode of Prosperous Coach Podcast.I'd love to hear from you.

In this episode of #TheShot of Digital Health Therapy, my regular co-host Jim Joyce passed the bouton to Daniel Kendall who was kind enough to step in. Dan and I sat down with Margaret Moore aka Coach Meg. As the founder of Wellcoaches and the co-founder of the Institute of Coaching as well as National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching, she pioneered the professional standards for health & wellbeing coaching.

In a world of constant noise, endless distraction, and performative busyness, what does it mean to pursue true excellence? Not hustle-for-hustle's-sake kind—but the kind rooted in values, meaning, and sustainable high performance. Today's guest is one of the clearest voices on that question: Brad Stulberg—bestselling author, performance coach, and researcher on sustainable excellence. Brad is a rare returning guest to The Coaching Lab for good reason. His work regularly appears in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic, and he serves on faculty at the University of Michigan. His new book, The Way of Excellence, reframes excellence not as a finish line—but as a process of mastery, meaning, and becoming. Drawing on modern science, timeless philosophy, and real-world stories of elite performers, Brad shows us how to integrate mastery and mattering—so we can perform at our best without burning out or losing what truly matters. In this conversation, we explore:·       Why excellence is not about outcomes—but about process·       How to build real confidence through consistency·       The difference between “pseudo-excellence” and the real thing·       How focus, discipline, and values alignment create sustained performance·       And how to pursue greatness without sacrificing well-being, relationships, or meaningWhether you're an athlete, coach, leader, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to live with greater intention, this episode delivers a clear, grounded roadmap for what it really means to be at your best—day after day.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.
