Excuse Me While I Pause….PerimenoPAUSE, that is! w/ Dr. Kameelah Phillips Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Ok, so here we are…. our 40s. We know not all of our listeners are there… but some of you are. And the rest of you will be! So we want to chat about an often taboo topic which shouldn’t be… PERIMENOPAUSE.

First of all, what it is? What’s gonna happen to us? What should we do about it?? And WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF??? Many women think that “vocalizing” our aging process is somehow embarrassing, that it signals a time when we’re inching towards being less sexy or desirable… when the reality is, 90% of the women we speak to say they’ve never felt sexier than they do in their 40s… so, why does PERIMENOPAUSE give us such PAUSE??

We’re grateful to have Dr. Kameelah Phillips, board certified Obstetrician, Gynecologist and lifelong women’s health advocate to the show to help us make sense of this often misunderstood topic and get a better grasp on what the hell is going on with our ever-changing bods!!

Finding Your LAUGHTER While Parenting Through a Pandemic, w/ Samantha Gutstadt of Don't Call Me Mommy Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

Adulting, man. It’s hard! One day you’re young, wild, and free, the next… no sleep, taxes, and craziest of all, someone actually put you in charge of keeping little humans alive!! It can all be… A LOT. Have you ever caught yourself taking yourself WAY too seriously?? It can be a delicate balance: being a "responsible grownup" while reserving the right to laugh (at yourself!) when you royally screw up, drop the ball, or simply find yourself dripping with vomit, pee or worse(!) from your newborn at 3 in the morning. With social media being filled with picture-perfect parenting, it can be hard for any parent to give themselves a break. Add a global pandemic into the mix... and we just might crack.

Enter our guest Samantha Gutstadt, actor/comedian and creator of “Don’t Call Me Mommy!” to help us find that MUCH NEEDED levity and humor while parenting during a pandemic.

Show notes

The temperatures are dropping and the air is getting crisp…. And DRY!! This time of year can really do a number on our skin, and we are definitely waving the white flag when it comes to winter skin care. We all want good skin, we all want to look YOUNG (!), and there are so many products on the market right now we’re just OVERWHELMED... it’s so hard to separate the “winners” from the “hocus-pocus.”

We took our questions to the best in the biz to get the inside scoop on it all: we’re joined by Dr. Michelle Henry, one of the leading dermatological experts in the country. In addition to a thriving practice, Dr. Henry is an award-winning research scnientist, Clinical Instructor of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College and a regular expert commentator in the media, having appeared in InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Essence, Dr. Oz, and beyond.

Here on Off the Gram, we do our best to help people make sense of wellness in the greater context of the socio-cultural landscape, and perhaps no week is it more important than this one. With the election coming up tomorrow, we all recognize that so much is at stake.

Emily, founder of Ziva Meditation and best-selling author of “Stress Less, Accomplish More: Meditation for Extraordinary Performance,” shares with us some ways to quell our election anxiety, including leading us through a brief guided meditation to help us get at least one foot on the path to inner peace amidst these chaotic times.

Fad diets: the myths, the truths, and everything in between with Keri Glassman Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

Atkins, Keto, Intermittent Fasting, Wheat Belly, the Zone, South Beach, Paleo, Volumetrics, High Fiber, Raw, Weight Watchers, the list goes on. And on. And ON… Why are fad diets SUCH a thing? And, what makes them different from “diets'' that have stood the test of time like: Mediterannian, veganism, macrobiotic, anti-inflammatory, whole foods, or plant based? When did we as humans become so disconnected from our bodies that we need a book or another person to tell us how to eat? And WHEN did we decide that powders and laboratory created frankenfoods were “better” for us than what grows in the ground?

We are thrilled to have Keri Glassman of Nutritious Life here to separate the fact from fiction, and the goodies from the not-so-goodies!

Dylan Lauren Teaches Us to "Go with Our Gut!" Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

"Going with your gut" - what does that mean to you? Today's guest, Dylan Lauren, preaches the benefits of "doing what you want in life, because that's what you're going to be good at." Sounds like a simple philosophy, right?? But how many of us wake up each day knowing we're not following our "true passion," but can't figure out how to set forth on a different path?

Dylan is basically #LifeGoals, running her incredible Dylan's Candy Bar, not to mention her charity, Dylan's Candy BarN, which helps animals find their home-sweet-home. She definitely had an amazing role model in her dad, iconic fashion designer, Ralph Lauren, but make no mistake... this self-made mama has always beaten to the sound of her own drum. So let’s talk about following your gut, doing what you love, and perseverance in entrepreneurship. We’ve got a lot to learn from from this ultimate #bossbabe!

SPECIAL EVENT: Off the Gram LIVE! with Arianna Huffington to Benefit RMH-NY Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

In April of 2007, Arianna Huffington woke up in a pool of her own blood. She was two years into building the Huffington Post, all while parenting two teenage daughters as a divorced mother… so basically, juggling ALL the things, like so many of us do. She had been burning the candle at both ends, and literally collapsed, breaking her cheekbone and requiring stitches over her eye. She was diagnosed with a severe case of “burnout” and decided this was not the life she wanted to lead. It was then that she realized the necessity of prioritizing wellness and decided to make that message a part of her life’s work.

How many of us can relate to this, right?? Especially now.

As the pandemic accelerates a mental health crisis that already existed, Arianna joins us tonight to help us identify our own individual signs and stressors. She believes that as a society, we can emerge into a new normal and become much more open about the challenges we’re facing and ways to course-correct.

Finding the Courage to SPEAK UP with Actor, Advocate and CHANGEmaker Michelle Hurd Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

How does change happen? So many of us know change is required, but don’t quite know the right steps to make it happen. Some make the fatal error of staying quiet in the hopes of not harming anyone: afraid to say or do the wrong thing. Sometimes, we think we are the only person who feels things are wrong, since some things (like sexual harassment and racism) have been grotesquely normalized and accepted as “just a part of life”.

Thankfully, with the courage of the amazing humans who spoke up and continue to speak up as part of the “Me Too” movement, and all of the inspiring souls bringing Black Lives Matter to the surface (and capturing horrific moments on camera), we as a society have finally started uncovering - and have just begun to take steps to remedy - a plethora of wrongs that have gone unrecognized for decades and centuries. So… how do we go from WANTING to speak up and righting wrongs to actually enacting CHANGE?

Here today, we are SO excited to have award winning actress, advocate, and changemaker, Michelle Hurd, here with us to discuss finding the courage to SPEAK UP and MAKE CHANGE.

Is Being a Vegan Sexy-Cool? with Jacque Reid Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

What is Veganism?! Is it an expensive diet? A trendy way of life for “earthy, healthy” people? Does being vegan mean I have to give away all of my favorite designer handbags and shoes made of leather?! Can I still be a part-time vegan, or vegan-ISH and get some of the benefits? Why does it seem like there’s SO much dislike for this movement? And there’s so many new studies around plant based /whole food diets yielding higher immune systems, but where do vegans get protein? Can they get enough calcium?

Seems there’s still SO many question marks surrounding this topic, but one thing we DO know is that there are SO many health benefits to having a plant based diet. A few MAJOR ones that we hear about: it can significantly reduce heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and certain cancers.

So we are thrilled to welcome Jacque Reid (vegan), Emmy award winner, multi-media maven for NBC, and host of the Vegan Sexy Cool podcast & lifestyle brand which links eating vegan, wellness and social justice. She’s giving us the scoop on what caused her to become a full-fledged vegan, why this lifestyle has become sooo popular for some and how to live a healthier, kinder more fulfilling life, while having a whole lot of fun!
