#214 - Fasten ist ein mächtiges Werkzeug, um Kalorien zu sparen und Struktur in deinen Alltag zu bringen – doch es ist nur ein Teil der Lösung. Ich erkläre dir die verschiedenen Fastenmodelle (täglich, wöchentlich, mehrtägig) und wie sie auf deinen Körper wirken. Entscheidend ist nicht nur das „wann du isst“, sondern auch dein Kalorienverbrauch in Ruhe, deine Muskelmasse und ein Alltag, der dauerhaft funktioniert. Fasten kann helfen, aber nicht ohne Proteine, Krafttraining, Schlaf und Stressmanagement. Wenn du dich schon lange abmühst und wenig Erfolg siehst, liegt es oft am heruntergefahrenen Stoffwechsel – nicht an deinem Willen. Lass uns gemeinsam herausfinden, wie du wirklich langfristig vorankommst. Unter folgendem Link findest Du die Beitragsseite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.iamfasting.de/p214

#213 - Hunger ist eine natürliche Sinnesempfindung – kein Notfall, sondern ein sanftes Signal deines Körpers. In diesem Video lernst du, wie du Hunger und Sättigung besser verstehen und nutzen kannst, um dein Essverhalten langfristig gesünder und intuitiver zu gestalten. Ich zeige dir, warum nicht jedes Hungergefühl eine sofortige Reaktion braucht und wie du durch bewusste Mahlzeiten deine Kalorienaufnahme senken kannst – ohne Verzicht. Außerdem erfährst du, wie Proteine, Gewohnheiten und Hormone deine Sättigung beeinflussen. Das Ziel: bedürfnisorientiert statt planorientiert Gewicht steuern.

Welcome to the Season Two finale! In this episode, we talk about how easy it is to get caught up in doing things the “right way” when it comes to our health and well-being — and how much freedom there is in letting that go.We reflect on the experiences and insights that kept bringing us back to this theme all season long, from hearing the many different paths our guests have taken to live well, to noticing how much lighter this podcast felt once we stopped trying to get it “right.”We explore:* Why chasing the “right way” often leads to more struggle, not less* Trusting your own wisdom instead of searching for the perfect blueprint* How curiosity opens the door to new possibilities* What's next for the showAs always, thank you so much for being here.

#212 - Abnehmen ist kein Disziplinproblem, sondern ein Stoffwechselthema. Viele verlieren bei der Diät Muskelmasse und reduzieren damit langfristig ihren Kalorienverbrauch. Krafttraining ist deshalb der Schlüssel, um nachhaltig Fett zu verlieren und den Körperverbrauch wieder zu steigern. Nur wer neben der Abnahme auch den gezielten Aufbau verfolgt, durchbricht den Teufelskreis aus Diät und Rückfall. Ich erkläre dir die zwei entscheidenden Wege, wie du deine Ziele erreichst – auch ohne ständiges Kalorienzählen oder endlosen Ausdauersport und zeige dir auf, warum Krafttraining insbesondere für Frauen so wichtig ist.

In today's episode, we sit down with coach Sarie Taylor, who is currently undergoing treatment for stage three breast cancer. Sarie tells us how she went from being hospitalized due to debilitating anxiety and panic to deeply seeing that worry is never useful — not even when it comes to serious diagnoses and health challenges. Sarie speaks candidly about navigating cancer treatment without falling into hypervigilance, handling the ups and downs of her emotional experience, what she does when loved ones don't understand, why she no longer sees her body as the enemy, and lots more. This is one of our favorite conversations so far, and we're excited to share Sarie's incredible insights with you.

When you're living with a chronic illness, it can feel like your whole world revolves around management plans, symptom tracking, and just getting through the day. In the midst of all that, it's easy to lose touch with the things that used to light you up—the simple joys, passions, and pieces of yourself that make life feel meaningful.In this episode, we're talking about Ikigai, the Japanese concept that loosely translates to "reason for being." We explore how reconnecting with what you love—even in small ways—can shift your experience and allow for more freedom, peace, and ease no matter what you're dealing with. What We Talk About in This Episode:* What Ikigai means and how it relates to chronic illness* The inward focus of managing chronic illness and how it can shift your energy away from what truly lights you up* The shift from “my possibilities are limited” to “my possibilities are different”* Why healing isn't just about protocols—it's also about curiosity, passion, and doing the things that matter to youEpisode Links:* Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Healthy Life* Samantha's Thriving With Gastroparesis Community* Subscribe on SubstackTheme music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ben-johnson/cant-stop-chasing-youLicense code: LTNISOMTFHZIIXYY This is a public episode.

Vanessa discusses the winding road to her gastroparesis diagnosis, the biases she's faced as someone navigating the medical system with a disability, and how she's learned to keep showing up and moving forward, even when it feels difficult.

In this episode, Crystal discusses what finally brought clarity after two years of unexplained breathing symptoms. Not through more tests or treatments, but by stepping back and looking at the full picture — with help from an unexpected source.We explore:* How it feels when the answer isn't as complex or dramatic as we expected* The difference between anxious problem-solving and true insight* What it looks like to trust your gut even when experts disagree — and how we can innocently get in the way of our own intuition* How letting go of assumptions and “over-doing” can open the door to reliefThis conversation is for anyone who's been told one thing but sensed something different. It's a reminder that our inner knowing is worth listening to—and that clarity often comes when we're willing to see things in a new light.Episode Links:* Ep. 7: When There Are No Answers* Join Samantha's Thriving With Gastroparesis Community* Subscribe on SubstackTheme music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ben-johnson/cant-stop-chasing-youLicense code: LTNISOMTFHZIIXYY This is a public episode.

#208 - Viele denken, Abnehmen sei vor allem körperlich anstrengend – weniger essen, mehr Sport, Disziplin. Doch oft ist das eigentlich Anstrengende unser Innenleben: Stress, Selbstzweifel und der Druck, alles „richtig“ machen zu müssen. In diesem Video zeige ich dir, warum die Frage nicht nur lautet was du tust, sondern wie du darüber denkst. Du erfährst, wie Schlaf, Ernährung, Bewegung und Emotionen zusammenwirken – und warum es viel anstrengender sein kann, nichts zu verändern. In dieser Episode zeige ich dir, warum der Weg zur Wunschfigur leichter wird, wenn du nicht nur an deinem Verhalten, sondern auch an deinem inneren Dialog arbeitest. Wenn du also das Gefühl hast, du müsstest dich „einfach nur zusammenreißen“, lohnt sich dieses Video für dich besonders.

When Samantha was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis, her mind immediately jumped to the future. What would this mean for her mobility? Her travel dreams? The next several decades of her life?In this honest and deeply relatable conversation, we talk about how quickly fearful thinking can take hold after a new diagnosis, and how noticing the feelings of uncertainty and unease can gently bring us back to the present. We also explore the difference between practical next steps and mental spiraling, the role of self-care (especially for those who tend to do it all), and the clarity that comes from simply letting our thoughts settle.If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsettled by a new diagnosis, this episode is a reminder that peace is never as far away as it seems.Episode Links:* Samantha's Thriving With Gastroparesis Community* Subscribe on SubstackTheme music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ben-johnson/cant-stop-chasing-youLicense code: LTNISOMTFHZIIXYY This is a public episode.

But several months ago, those symptoms began to return—something her brain insisted wasn't supposed to happen.We talk about the initial disappointment and disbelief Megan felt, the relief of letting go of trying to figure out why her symptoms came back, and the quiet strength she's discovered in meeting each day as it comes, with less resistance, more presence, and fewer rules than before.Megan's story is a reminder that our physical health will ebb and flow but we can always meet those ups and downs with a fresh perspective.

Today we're bringing you a conversation about Samantha's recent seven-week trip with her family. From the outside, it might sound like an impossible undertaking: traveling around the world while managing chronic illness and recovering from surgery — not to mention the unexpected health challenges that popped up along the way. But somehow, this trip didn't just happen, it was full of peaceful moments and incredible memories.In this episode, Samantha shares what it really takes to travel when you're never symptom-free. We explore the preparation, flexibility, and presence that made it possible—and why Samantha came home from a challenging trip that didn't go according to plan eager to travel more, not less.If you're waiting to travel “when things settle down” or “when you feel better,” we hope this conversation invites you to reconsider. There might never be a perfect time to take that trip, but there's so much joy to be found in doing it anyway.Episode Links:* Join Samantha's Thriving With Gastroparesis Community* Subscribe on SubstackTheme music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ben-johnson/cant-stop-chasing-youLicense code: LTNISOMTFHZIIXYY This is a public episode.

Welcome to Season 2 of The Living Well Pod! We're thrilled to have Lily Sais, one of our most-loved guests from last season, back to kick things off with a conversation about the sometimes blurry line between self-advocacy and anxious thinking.How do you know if you're advocating for your health or just stuck in an anxiety loop? What if your doctor isn't listening, and you know something's wrong—but you've also been down the rabbit hole of endless research and racing thoughts?In this episode, we shift the focus to the energy behind our actions. We discuss how urgency and fear can fuel our need for answers and control, and how that's very different from grounded, effective self-advocacy. We dive into topics like:* What it feels like when you're advocating from love vs. fear* Why symptom spirals and obsessive researching can actually cloud clarity* Why hope tied to outcomes (“I'll only be okay if…”) leaves us feeling burnt out and overwhelmed* What to do when it feels like doctors aren't listening* Real-life examples from our own experiences with anxiety and self-advocacyIf you've ever found yourself questioning whether you're doing enough or wondering if you're making things worse by worrying too much—this conversation is for you. It's a compassionate and practical look at how to care for yourself and speak up for your needs with clarity and confidence.Resources Mentioned:* Thriving in the Eye of the Hurricane by Joseph Bailey (Amazon affiliate link)* Lily's Peace From Within Community* Samantha's TWGP (Thriving with Gastroparesis) Community* Subscribe to Living Well Pod on SubstackTheme music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ben-johnson/cant-stop-chasing-youLicense code: LTNISOMTFHZIIXYY This is a public episode.

Ayn Rand's philosophical novel The Fountainhead is one of the most-read and most  and quoted books of the 20th century. Dismissed and loved in equal measure, it polarised critics and readers.  The Fountainhead expressed Rand's strong beliefs about the role of the creator, the need for freedom, and the moral imperative of self-interest. One of the few novels dedicated to the profession of architecture, The Fountainhead's ideas about architects and architecture continue to influence how we think about the profession today. In this episode, Antony and Justine discuss the novel, its pros and cons, and why it is still a treasured reference for right-wing thinkers today. Quote: “In reviewing my career to date, I came to the conclusion that I have worked on a true principle: the principle that constant change is a necessity of life.   Since buildings are an indispensable part of life, it follows that architecture must change constantly.  I have never developed architectural prejudices for myself, but insisted on keeping my mind open to all the voices of the times.   The fanatics who went around preaching that all structures must be modern were just as narrow minded as the hidebound conservatives who demanded that we employ nothing but historical styles.   I do not apologise for those of my buildings which were designed in the Classical tradition.   They were an answer to the needs of their era.  Neither do I apologise for the buildings which I designed in the modern style.   They represent the coming better world.  It is my opinion that in the humble realisation of this principle lies the reward and the joy of being an architect.” The character of architect Peter Keating, The Fountainhead Links: John Crace on Ayn Rand, The Guardian, 2009 https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/mar/11/ayn-rand Social: Instagram: @lightscitiesarchitecture LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justine-costigan/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/antony-dimase/ Credits: Editor: Justine Costigan This episode was recorded at Image online, Abbotsford, Australia.

In our season one finale, we sit down with musician and actress Emily Ricks to hear her incredible journey of self-advocacy and healing. Emily had been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome, colonic paralysis, MCAS, POTS, and more before finally finding an innovative treatment that changed her life. In this episode, she shares how she navigated biases in the healthcare system, trusted her intuition, and advocated for her own well-being -- all at only 18 years old.

In this episode, we're discussing something we've all felt at one time or another: that uneasy sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Whether it's the return of symptoms, a new diagnosis, or something completely unexpected, our minds often spin stories about why we need to stay on high alert—worried, vigilant, and constantly “prepared.”We share how this pattern has played out in our own lives, unpack the roles of control, responsibility, and self-blame, and explore what helps ease the tension despite life's inherent uncertainties. Whatever your worries, we hope this conversation brings you a fresh perspective and a little relief. Note: We're taking a short holiday break, so there won't be a new episode next week. We'll be back on January 2nd with a bit of a refresh and the first in a series of amazing new guests.

In this episode, Crystal shares how post-election anxiety flared up her physical symptoms, reminding her of the importance of self-care and letting ourselves truly feel our feelings. This conversation isn't about politics. It's about how easily all of us can get caught up in anxious thinking about external events and how we tend to experience that thinking physically, especially when dealing with health conditions.

Today on The Living Well Pod, we're discussing "medical hexing." While the name might sound fitting for a Halloween episode, we're not talking about spells, curses, or witchcraft here. Rather, medical hexing describes how the language and labels used by doctors, practitioners, and even friends can shape the way we perceive and experience health diagnoses.Together, we'll explore how terms like “chronic” and “incurable” can impact the way we think about our health — and how curiosity can totally shift that impact. We'll also talk about how the dynamic nature of thought means that no label or diagnosis can actually predict how someone will experience life. And finally, we'll share what to do if you have, in fact, been “hexed.” Hint: it's maybe not what you think.Have you experienced “medical hexing?” Let us know in the comments!We now have a SpeakPipe line where you can leave us short audio messages.

In this episode of The Living Well Pod, Crystal shares a story about a recent solo trip to New York City that took an unexpected turn when she experienced a full-blown panic attack—something that hasn't happened in years. Together, we dive into what it means when symptoms we thought we had “under control” resurface and how easy it can be to attach meaning to these moments.Crystal talks about the small sliver of insight that helped her through the panic, the difference between acting out of fear versus responding with calm, and how this perspective shift applies to both mental and physical health challenges. Samantha shares her own experiences of handling health fluctuations with more patience and less pressure, exploring how approaching these moments with curiosity instead of over-analysis can make all the difference.If you've ever felt like you've taken two steps back in your health journey, this episode is for you.We now have a SpeakPipe line where you can leave us short audio messages.

Chana Studley suffered for decades with allergies, asthma, cystitis, IBS, chronic pain, and PTSD before discovering something that turned her experience around. Today, she's an inspiring author, coach, and speaker, living life with a quiet mind and a (mostly) symptom-free body. In this episode of The Living Well Pod, Chana shares her journey through years of searching for solutions, trying everything from meditation to iridology to chiropractics, and the profound transformation she experienced when she discovered that her well-being wasn't dependent on finding a “fix.”Together, we explore how our thoughts shape our experience of pain and illness, how a busy mind can amplify physical symptoms, and how we can find relief and a quieter mental state without doing more. Chana's insights are a powerful reminder that whether or not our circumstances change, our experience of them can shift dramatically.Episode Links:Find Chana Studley online at https://www.chanastudley.com/Chana's books: The Myth of Low Self-Esteem, Painless, Very Well, Beyond Diagnosis (affiliate links)Coaching with Samantha: https://transformative-psych.comConnect with us on Instagram and FacebookJoin our Substack communityTheme music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ben-johnson/cant-stop-chasing-youLicense code: LTNISOMTFHZIIXYY This is a public episode.
