Being a Vegan and a Competitive Body Builder with Giacomo Marchese May 30, 2022

Lisa is joined by Giacomo Marchese, who talks about being a vegan and a competitive body builder.

Plantbuilt: A Decade of Compassionate Strength

In 2012 Giacomo Marchese and Dani Taylor championed the idea of forming a team of vegan bodybuilders to compete along side non-vegan competitors with the goal of showing that not only could the vegan athletes compete, they could win. They reached out to friends in the community to gauge their interest in participating and the first Plantbuilt team was formed. The team traveled to Austin, Texas to participate in the Naturally Fit Games- a multi sport expo, and dominated the bodybuilding stage. Since then Plantbuilt has competed two more times broadening our base of athletes to include more strength based sports and every time successfully spreads the message of cruelty free strength. 2022 will be the fourth time the team sets out to change hearts and minds, with some familar faces and some new additions to the family. Help us celebrate our 10th year of activism and keep checking in for updates about the team and the competition.

PLANTBUILT

Powered by VEGAN STRONG

Accomplishing elite levels of strength, health, and wellness, is an extension of our compassion for life. Our lifestyle requires physical effort beyond our normal capacity, furthermore is the use of proper nutrition, rest, and mental well being. None of these require the destruction of animals . As a collective (PlantBuilt) we live, train, compete, and educate in our communities, showing the success of compassionate Veganism

In 2016, she published her best-selling book on the prescription drug epidemic, "Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It’s So Hard to Stop" (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016). Her book was highlighted in the New York Times as one of the top five books to read to understand the opioid epidemic (Zuger, 2018).

"Drug Dealer, MD" combines case studies with public policy, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience, to explore the complex relationship between doctors and patients around prescribing controlled drugs. It has had an impact on policy makers and legislators across the nation. Dr. Lembke has testified before Congress and consulted with governors and senators from Kentucky to Missouri to Nevada.

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence

This book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We’re living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting....

The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we’ve all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption.

In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain…and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.

Revaree is a non-hormonal easy-to-use vaginal insert that provides relief from vaginal dryness so that you can feel comfortable during intimacy. evaree is made of hyaluronic acid, a molecule that is naturally produced throughout the body and plays a significant role in cell hydration and healing. In the case of vaginal dryness, Revaree works by attracting and retaining moisture in the vaginal lining, creating a healing environment that repairs and restores thinning and damaged tissue for lasting, hormone-free relief.

Relizen is a carefully formulated, hormone-free supplement made with pure, plant-based ingredients, so you can get incredibly effective and safe relief from hot flashes and night sweats.Rather than going through the hormonal pathways in your body like other menopausal supplements do, Relizen works like an internal thermostat to give your body back its natural ability to regulate its temperature, without hormonal side effects.

Book Description: The Immunotype Breakthrough: Your Personalized Plan to Balance Your Immune System, Optimize Health, and Build Lifelong Resilience

A respected immunologist, allergist, and functional medicine doctor breaks down the latest science on immunity, offering “the most important guide available” (Mark Hyman, MD) to balancing your system for optimal health and longevity.

To most of us, the immune system is seemingly unknowable—it's an invisible, complex network of cells, receptors, and messengers, and there's no standard way to see if it's functioning as it should. Yet in spite of this, it affects every aspect of our health, influencing (and sometimes even causing) nearly every disease known to humanity. Much has been made about “boosting” immunity, but what exactly does that mean, and what if boosting isn't really what your unique system needs?

In The Immunotype Breakthrough, Dr. Heather Moday explains that for most, immune system balance is key. Drawing on a wealth of cutting edge research and fascinating case studies, Dr. Moday explains that the immune system is fluid and significantly influenced by our behaviors, diet, habits, and environment. She identifies four primary Immunotypes—Smoldering, Weak, Hyperactive, and Misguided—that underlie the immune imbalances that commonly lead to disease, chronic inflammation, infection, allergies, and autoimmunity. By identifying your personal immunotype—where you fall on this immunity spectrum—you can intervene by making focused, individualized, natural lifestyle changes to ensure it functions optimally

Featuring engaging and accessible science, practical and customizable takeaways, and interactive quizzes to help you zero in on your specific needs, The Immunotype Breakthrough is a revolutionary program for creating an individualized lifestyle and diet that will lead to immune resilience, vitality, and longevity.

Book Description: Rituals of the Soul: Using the 8 Ancient Principles of Yoga to Create a Modern & Meaningful Life

Kori Hahn has always done life her way — living off the grid as a young woman in Alaska; studying with spiritual teachers and soul guides in Mexico, Sri Lanka, and Morocco; surfing around the world. Yet her primary, perennial quest has been an inner one. To that end, she evolved the practices she shares in this book, simple daily steps grounded in sacred yogic texts that will help you live your life your way, with maximum meaning and joy.

Timeless principles of awareness, intuition, self-knowledge, and manifestation become contemporary practices incorporating visualization, breath work, journaling affirmations, and meditation. These habits of being grow the soul, enable our bravest and best selves, and, as Hahn shows, can take you wherever you most want to be.

10 Rules for Resilience with JOE DE SENA Dec 13, 2021

Lisa is joined by Joe De Sena who talks about his latest book, .10 Rules for Resilience: Mental Toughness for Families.

Joe De Sena’s new book, 10 Rules for Resilience: Mental Toughness for Families [HarperOne; October 19, 2021], is a guidebook for becoming more resilient, so that we can raise more resilient kids. Built from life but backed by clinical experience, Joe and his co-author, Dr. Lara Pence, team up to provide a framework that will help you grow into the best version of yourself and develop the skills needed to parent with resilience as your compass. It’s a no B.S. guide that will leave you feeling more confident, capable, and courageous in the most important job of your life: being a parent.

From his childhood in Queens, New York, to his role as founder and CEO of the most grueling endurance races in the world, Joe De Sena has spent his life running toward challenge and discomfort. Why? Because how we react to challenging situations defines us and our families. The only tools we have as humans to survive the many peaks and valleys of a full life are preparedness, health, leadership, and most importantly, resilience.

Why do so many of us struggle to finish things we start, delay gratification, and protect our health—and why do our kids continue to struggle in every facet of life? Because we haven’t shown them a path to resilience, and we haven’t fought for it ourselves.

In 10 Rules for Resilience Joe outlines his 10 principles for building True Resilience—a term he uses for a body and mind that have been carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. It takes True Resilience to approach overwhelming situations with calm and confidence, to not get rattled, anxious, or angry, and even to embrace failure, setbacks, and redirections.

In this, his most timely and motivating book yet, Joe defines what so many of us struggle to understand: the difference between what is difficult and what is desperate. We wrongly think that when we struggle, we are vulnerable. The truth? We need difficult situations to grow, become strong, and ultimately, survive and thrive in the real world.

10 Rules for Resilience teaches how to parent from the position of True Resilience and change your family’s life, including techniques such as:

• A framework for living, being, and parenting that will prepare you and your family for anything.

• Proven techniques derived from clinical research and experience to set the whole family up for better, more effective coping skills.

• Family activities that supplement each rule of resilience and help you put the reading material into real-life action.

• A robust values exercise to help your family create a solid vision statement.

• A five-step model to increase your fear IQ.

10 Rules for Resilience ultimately proves that by not giving ourselves and our kids the ongoing gift of challenge, failure, and hard work is to deprive ourselves of one the most satisfying and rewarding parts of the human experience—the strength to stand back up again after we fall.

Joe De Sena is the founder and CEO of Spartan and the Death Race, the world’s leading endurance sports and wellness brand with a community of over 10 million strong. He is the New York Times bestselling author of three books, Spartan Up!, Spartan Fit, and The Spartan Way. De Sena also hosts the Spartan Up!

The Top 5 Things to Be Your Physical Best with Sheree Burton Nov 22, 2021

Lisa is joined by Sheree Burton, a trainer and coach for over a decade. Sheree has helped thousands of women be their best selves. Sheree, 44, is a busy mom of 3 and wife of Emmy Award-winning actor - Steve Burton. Her workouts are challenging but fun and she knows how to make any woman feel at ease especially when first getting into fitness. Sheree is full of unique ways to get fitness into your daily regime and her nutrition coaching and skills help women achieve life-long habits with healthy eating.

Here are the five things!1. Stay hydrated! A minimum of half our body weight in ounces just to stay hydrated. When you add in exercise, you need to add to this number. Sheree personally aims for 1 gallon a day. The harder you work out the more your body needs water.

2. Do at least 30-60 min of exercise 4-5 days per week. Anything that gets your heart rate up. Grab some weights and do resistance training - it really helps with overall toning up and muscle definition. Some of Sheree's favorites are squats, walking lunges, push-ups, and lying leg lifts.

3. Abs and most all of it are made in the kitchen! You cannot out-train a bad diet, so COUNT YOUR CALORIES! Know what you’re eating. Make sure you’re consuming enough protein throughout the day. Without it, you cannot build and maintain lean muscle. Download a calorie counter and figure out where you need to be based on you and your goals.

4. SLEEP - 7-9 hours of sleep a night. We often forget about how important this is. Lack of sleep can affect our hormones and overall brain function making it more difficult to lose weight or stay on track.

5. Avoid or drastically limit alcohol. Alcohol is not your friend when trying to lose weight or get “beach body ready”. Alcohol has too much sugar, calories, and carbs - and it will definitely hinder all your hard work.

He joins Lisa today to talk about his book Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time : So Is Cardio, and There’s a Better Way to Have the Body You Want.

Book Description:

You've been lifting for a few years. When you take your shirt off, do you look like a professional athlete? Do you even look like you work out?

Many fitness "experts" defend weights and cardio like they are infallible, but where are the results? Why does almost nobody look even marginally athletic?

Fitness may be the most failed human endeavor, and you are about to see how exercise science has missed some obvious principles that when enacted will turn you into the superhuman you always wanted to be.

In Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time, Dr. John Jaquish and Henry Alkire explore the science that supports this argument and lay out a superior strength training approach that has been seen to put 20 pounds of muscle on drug-free, experienced lifters (i.e., not beginners) in six months.

Why Supplements are Key for People Who Eat a SAD Diet Sep 20, 2021

Lisa is joined by Max Mikhaylenko Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer at Snap Supplements. Snap Supplements was founded by three friends who immigrated to the United States from developing countries in the early 1990s.

They relied on local, natural foods and homegrown herbal remedies crafted with transgenerational wisdom to treat illnesses and nourish their bodies, never having to worry about whether they were getting the nutrients they needed.

Not long after arriving in the United States, Snap Supplements Co-Founder Max began noticing how the standard Western diet —full of processed foods and lacking in quality nutrients— was negatively affecting his family’s health. As his family experienced weight gain, allergies, and heart diseases so common in the Western world, Max was inspired to begin his journey sharing how food could be used as medicine. Today, the Snap Supplements team continues to leverage Max’s food is medicine philosophy to produce the highest quality supplements crafted with the conflation of modern science and ancient wisdom that exists at the root of the company.

Greening Spirituality: The Connections Between Spirituality and the Natural World with Dr. Rita Sherma Aug 16, 2021

Lisa is joined by Dr. Rita Sherma, the founding Director & Associate Professor atGTU's Center for Dharma Studies and the Co-Chair of the Sustainability 360 Initiative to talk about Greening Spirituality an online learning opportunity from the Graduate Theological Union’s GTUx, Drs. Rita Sherma and Devin Zuber examine the connections between spirituality and the natural world, including special consideration of Native American and Dharma traditions in the development of American environmentalism.

In Greening Spirituality we will study the often unacknowledged ecological influences of Asian religions and Native American cultures on America’s literary, artistic, and architectural heritage, as well as the growing presence – in the United States – of Dharma traditions, and their influence on contemporary meditation methods as they have opened the door to ancient approaches interweaving the elemental potencies of wilderness (and wildness) into the fabric of contemplative practice.

We will reflect, together, on the critical importance of acknowledgement of other cultures and cosmological views that existed before us, and to which—at the very least—we owe a debt of gratitude.

The contemporary greening of spirituality has deep roots in American soil and the sanctification of the wonder and mystery of treasured national spaces, such as the red hills of Sedona, Yosemite, and Muir Woods, has begun to resemble an alternate form of civic religion—one that envisions and embraces a spirituality of place"

The course includes 4, modules:

Module 1: Roots: What is “spirituality”? What is “sacred” beyond the diversity of varied religions and rituals? How and why is it connected to the verdant natural world around us?

Module 2: Turtle Island: The Beat Poets and American Buddhist Ecocriticism

Module 3: Decolonizing the Spiritual

Module 4: Ecopraxis: Greening Spirituality on a Warming Planet

Nataraja and Lisa talk about how yoga and psychology are a great combination when dealing with intense emotions. Nataraja shares his journey with yoga, how he grew, up, letting yourself feel all emotions deeply, and about Naropa’s Bachelor of Arts in Yoga Studies. Lisa shares her experience with yoga, bio-energetic therapy, and the importance of letting children feel and express their emotions.

The Naropa’s Bachelor of Arts in Yoga Studies is more than a yoga teacher training and yoga certification program. Here, you’ll embrace yogic practice as a way of life. Be transformed on and off the mat at the nation’s first yoga university.

The first yoga class at Naropa University was taught in 1974 by spiritual leader Ram Dass. In a school bus converted into a camper, he spent two months preparing the course in the deserts of New Mexico and California. He not only immersed himself in the Gītā and its commentaries that summer, but even gave the inaugural lectures to a rapt audience of desert jackrabbits—a picturesque beginning for yoga studies at Naropa.

In subsequent decades, Naropa launched the Bachelor of Arts degree in Yoga Studies—the first bachelor's degree in yoga offered in America. The program has been flourishing for the last ten years and facilitates a unique merger of contemplative and academic rigor.

Becoming a yoga instructor is often life changing. For students in Naropa’s yoga studies degree program, this is particularly true. You’ll spend four years delving into yoga's history, literature, and philosophy. The methodologies of Hatha Yoga will come to life as you practice asanas, pranayama, and meditation. This is a yoga education like no other.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The only research-based guide for connecting a plant-based diet with peak athletic performance, featuring interviews with professional athletes who've made the switch from meat to plants.

The Plant-Based Athlete by Matt Frazier and Robert Cheeke reveals the incontrovertible proof that the human body does not need meat, eggs, or dairy to be strong. Instead, research shows that a consciously calibrated plant-based diet offers the greatest possible recovery times, cell oxidation, injury prevention, and restorative sleep, and allows athletes to train more effectively, with better results.

However, committing to a plant-based diet as an elite athlete, first-time marathoner, or weekend warrior isn't as simple as swapping vegetables for meat. Even the slightest food adjustments can impact performance. That's why Matt Frazier, founder of No Meat Athlete, and Robert Cheeke, founder of Vegan Bodybuilding, wrote this groundbreaking book, to guide those interested in making this important shift in how to do so with the best, most transformative results.

The Plant-Based Athlete offers readers:

A persuasive body of evidence for adopting a plant-based lifestyle, with key information about how macronutrients, micronutrients, and calories fuel a body running on plant foods
An entire chapter devoted to protein - why plant sources of protein are preferable over meat, and how plant protein can be used to increase strength, muscle mass, and power
60+ delicious and nutritious plant-based recipes, including Veggie Burger Patties, Garden Meatballs, Summer Pasta Salad, Vegan Mac & Cheese, French Toast, Acai Bowl, and a High-Energy Smoothie
Insights from winning plant-based athletes in nearly every sport including champion ultrarunners Rich Roll and Scott Jurek; former NFL player David Carter; champion boxers Yuri Foreman, Unsal Arik, Cam Awesome, and Vanessa Espinoza; and Olympic-level swimmers, cyclists, figure skaters, sprinters, and more.
A Day in the Life of a Plant-Based Athlete - examples of what, when, and how different athletes eat to fuel their varied workouts

An instant classic and mainstay on health and fitness shelves everywhere, The Plant-Based Athlete is the ultimate invitation for joining the growing community of athletes who use plants to power their workouts and their every day.

Poetry Rx: How Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring Joy To Your Life with Norman Rosenthal, MD Jul 19, 2021

Lisa is joined by Norman Rosenthal, MD who talks about his latest book, Poetry Rx: How 50 Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring Joy To Your Life. Dr. Rosenthal's research with SAD led him to write "Winter Blues" and two other books on the topic. More recently Rosenthal has written books on the Transcendental Meditation technique ("Transcendence" and "Supermind"), "The Gift of Adversity" and, most recently, "Poetry Rx: How 50 Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring Joy To Your Life." Altogether, he has written or co-authored 10 books and published over 200 professional articles. Dr. Rosenthal maintains a clinical and coaching practice in the DC Metropolitan area.

If you find yourself wondering how reading poetry can be beneficial for your mental health, be sure to listen. Lisa found herself marveling at both the poems and how deeply they affected her. Listening to Dr. Rosenthal's soothing voice as he reads some aloud is a gift in itself.

Book description:

"I used to believe that poetry did not “speak” to me, but I now see how wrong I was. I lived for 44 years with a husband, a lyricist, whose beautifully crafted, heartfelt lyrics touched my every fiber and continue to uplift and inspire me a decade after his death. The special beauty of Dr. Rosenthal’s book for me is his discussion of what each poem is saying, what the poet was likely feeling and often how the poems helped him personally, as when he left his birth family in South Africa for a rewarding career in the United States." - Jane Brody, Author & New York Times Columnist

Poetry to Heal, Inspire and Enjoy

Poetry Rx presents 50 great poems as seen through the eyes of a renowned psychiatrist and New York Times bestseller. In this book, you will find insights into love, sorrow, ecstasy and everything in between: Love in the moment or for a lifetime; love that is fulfilling or addictive; when to break up and how to survive when someone breaks up with you.

Separate sections deal with responses to the natural world, and the varieties of human experience (such as hope, reconciliation, leaving home, faith, self-actualization, trauma, anger, and the thrill of discovery). Other sections involve finding your way in the world and the search for meaning, as well as the final stages of life.

In describing this multitude of human experiences, using vignettes from his work and life, Rosenthal serves as a comforting guide to these poetic works of genius. Through his writing, the workings of the mind, as depicted by these gifted writers speak to us as intimately as our closest friends.

Rosenthal also delves into the science of mind and brain. Who would have thought, for example, that listening to poetry can cause people to have goosebumps by activating the reward centers of the brain? Yet research shows that to be true.

And who were these fascinating poets? In a short biosketch that accompanies each poem, Rosenthal draws connections between the poets and their poems that help us understand the enigmatic minds that gave birth to these masterworks. Altogether, a fulfilling and intriguing must-read for anyone interested in poetry, the mind, self-help and genius.

Unwinding Anxiety with Neuroscientist Dr. Jud Mar 15, 2021

Lisa is joined by Dr. Jud, neuroscientist and author of Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind.

Dr. Jud's book is a step by step plan clinically proven to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember. Whether facing issues as public as a pandemic or as personal as having kids at home and fighting the urge to reach for the wine bottle every night, we are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. But in this timely book, Judson Brewer explains how to uproot anxiety at its source using brain-based techniques and small hacks accessible to anyone.

We think of anxiety as everything from mild unease to full-blown panic. But it's also what drives the addictive behaviors and bad habits we use to cope (e.g. stress eating, procrastination, doom scrolling and social media). Plus, anxiety lives in a part of the brain that resists rational thought. So we get stuck in anxiety habit loops that we can't think our way out of or use willpower to overcome. Dr. Brewer teaches us map our brains to discover our triggers, defuse them with the simple but powerful practice of curiosity, and to train our brains using mindfulness and other practices that his lab has proven can work.

Distilling more than 20 years of research and hands-on work with thousands of patients, including Olympic athletes and coaches, and leaders in government and business, Dr. Brewer has created a clear, solution-oriented program that anyone can use to feel better - no matter how anxious they feel.

This event sparked her interest in medicine, physiatry, and stroke, in particular. Dr. Frates went on to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard College, majoring in both psychology and biology. She then attended Stanford Medical School, interned at Mass General Hospital, and completed her residency in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School where she served as Chief Resident. After residency, Dr. Frates focused on stroke with an emphasis on stroke prevention. Fascinated empowering people to adopt healthy habits, Dr. Frates pursued further training in behavior change through health and wellness coaching programs as well as motivational interviewing training.

Since 1996, Dr. Frates has been on faculty at Harvard Medical School and has won multiple teaching awards for her work in many different pre-clinical core courses covering topics including nutrition, the musculoskeletal system, the central nervous system, the endocrine system, and an introduction to the medical profession. She also developed and taught a college Lifestyle Medicine curriculum at the Harvard Extension School, which is one of the most popular courses offered at the school and was chosen as a case study for successful courses. In an effort to guide other instructors and professors seeking to create their own Lifestyle Medicine program, Dr. Frates made the syllabus available online as a template through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM).

In 2008, Dr. Frates developed the concept of a Lifestyle Medicine Interest Group (LMIG) for medical schools that do not currently offer a course on Lifestyle Medicine and has been successfully running an LMIG at Harvard Medical School (HMS) since that time. These LMIGs offer a parallel curriculum for students interested in healthy habits to learn about basic concepts in Lifestyle Medicine through lunch and learn lectures. As Board Liaison for the Professionals In Training (PiT) at ACLM, Dr. Frates created standardized PowerPoints on Lifestyle Medicine basics, exercise prescription, nutrition, and behavior change for faculty and students wanting to launch LMIGs at their school. Dr. Frates and her family also created the Donald A. Pegg Award in memory of her father to provide additional support to students starting LMIGs and cover travel expenses to the national ACLM meeting. After being elected to the Board of Directors at ACLM, Dr. Frates continued to define the scope of this new specialty by serving as a board item writer for the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, which is the first certifying body for Lifestyle Medicine. In recognition of these contributions, Dr. Frates was voted president of ACLM in August 2020.

Dr. Frates is also an accomplished author, having published several books, medical textbooks, and calendars. After co-authoring a book titled “Life After Stroke: The Guide to Recovering Your Health and Preventing Another Stroke”, Dr. Frates spent a great deal of time lecturing and writing about health and prevention topics, including nutrition and exercise. More recently, her book titled “The Lifestyle Medicine Handbook: An Introduction to the Power of Healthy Habits”was included in a list of the 100 Best Medicine Books of All Time by BookAuthority.

The Science and Practice of Keto with Gary Taubes Feb 01, 2021

Lisa is joined by Gary Taubes an investigative science and health journalist and co-founder of the non-profit Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI.org). He is the author of Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It and Good Calories, Bad Calories (The Diet Delusion in the UK). Taubes is the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research, and has won numerous other awards for his journalism. These include the International Health Reporting Award from the Pan American Health Organization and the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award, which he won in 1996, 1999 and 2001. (He is the first print journalist to win this award three times.) Taubes graduated from Harvard College in 1977 with an S.B. degree in applied physics, and received an M.S. degree in engineering from Stanford University (1978) and in journalism from Columbia University (1981).

He joins Lisa to talk about his latest book, The Case for Keto: Rethinking Weight Control and the Science and Practice of Low-Carb/High-Fat Eating

Here is the book description:

Based on twenty years of investigative reporting and interviews with 100 practicing physicians who embrace the keto lifestyle as the best prescription for their patients' health, Gary Taubes gives us a manifesto for the twenty-first-century fight against obesity and diabetes.

For years, health organizations have preached the same rules for losing weight: restrict your calories, eat less, exercise more. So why doesn't it work for everyone? Taubes, whose seminal book Good Calories, Bad Calories and cover stories for The New York Times Magazine changed the way we look at nutrition and health, sets the record straight.

The Case for Keto puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we've come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice.

Taubes reveals why the established rules about eating healthy might be the wrong approach to weight loss for millions of people, and how low-carbohydrate, high-fat/ketogenic diets can help so many of us achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life.

The Mental & Emotional Side of Physical Transformation with Drew Manning Oct 27, 2020

Lisa is joined by Drew Manning to discuss the emotional and mental side of physical transformation, as well as what he learned from his "fit-to-fat-to-fit" experiment.

From www.bradkearns.com

Drew Manning burst onto the global fitness scene back in 2011 with his incredible “Fit to Fat to Fit” experiment, where he deliberately gained 75 pounds of fat in six months. A lifelong competitive athlete and chiseled personal trainer, Drew purposely let himself transition to obese and inactive in an effort to connect and empathize better with his clients

Strength Training for Women & Men - It's a MUST for both! Oct 14, 2020

Lisa is joined by Lee Boyce who talks about strength training and offer some tips for both men and women, across the board.

From www.leeboycetraining.com

I’m a strength coach who works with clients and athletes for muscle, strength, and sport performance, and I’m based in Toronto, Canada. I’m also an internationally published fitness writer who’s regularly featured in many of the world’s largest publications, like Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, Oxygen, Esquire, The Huffington Post, Men’s Journal, and T-Nation. You can find plenty of my published web work on this site, and get the heads up when my print work hits newsstands. I’ve done plenty of fitness segments for various TV and radio stations, including Global, CBC, ABC News Radio, Sun News Network, and CP24. I also ran track at the National level in university as a sprinter and long jumper.

In my blog section, you’ll find that I rarely ever speak about “fitness tips” that you can bring with you to the gym. I’ve written literally hundreds of published articles that take care of that. I prefer to use blog articles to expose fallacies that exist within the fitness community from more of a sociocultural perspective. I’m the guy who will say the things the rest of the industry prefers to keep a still tongue about. I deliver the scathing truths about how a number of things in the fitness and health culture that might seem “good” can actually be just as harmful as not pursuing fitness and health at all. It’ll force you to think outside the box and intelligently examine just why you’re doing what you’re doing.

Balancing the Microbiome for Optimal Heart Health Sep 29, 2020

The microbiome is an "unseen organ" composed of trillions of bacteria that play a vital role in keeping you healthy.

Contrary to what medical experts used to think about bacteria, these microorganisms are crucial for optimal health, including heart health.

Inflammation is one of the main causes of heart disease. Modulating inflammation is one of the key tasks of the microbiome.

But, you must be conscious of keeping your microbiome healthy.

One way to do that is by eating foods that promote growth and health of the microbiota. For instance, vegetables that have certain fibers, like artichokes, radishes, jicama, and leeks. Fermented foods that increase the diversity and health of the microbiome ecology include kimchi and sauerkraut.

A healthy microbiome can even change the genetic profiles associated with coronary artery disease.

Listen in as Raphael Kellman, MD, joins Lisa to explain what the microbiome is, why it's important for heart (and overall health), and how you can improve the health of your microbiota.

Loving Out Loud Sep 10, 2020

THIS WAS TAPED BEFORE COVID19. I no longer can make friends with strangers. For now. : )

What does it mean to "love out loud"? It's much more than simply saying "I love you."

Robyn Spizman describes loving out loud as harnessing the power of a kind word. Whether it's complimenting the cashier at the grocery store on her earrings or saying thank you to your restaurant server, verbalizing your recognition of someone else can be very powerful -- for both the recipient and you.

Her book, Loving Out Loud: The Power of a Kind Word, explains why you have the power to make a positive impact on someone’s day, every day -- and that it isn’t nearly as hard as you may think. It also helps improve your own negative self-talk.

Robyn joins host Lisa Davis to share insights from the book, tips for loving out loud, and how you can be an active participant in a movement toward a kinder, more engaged community.

9 Gluten-Free Grains Sep 08, 2020

Whether you're suffering from something like celiac disease or just don't feel "well" when eating gluten grains, there are plenty of great options you can turn to instead.

Camilla V. Saulsbury is a freelance food writer, recipe developer and cooking instructor. Her culinary focus is translating food and flavor trends into fresh, innovative, and delicious recipes for the home kitchen. Camilla joins host Lisa Davis to share her favorite gluten-free grains, as well as some simple ways to prepare these grains.

Amaranth was a staple food of the pre-Columbian Aztecs in Mexico and Peru. A growing body of research indicates that amaranth can help fend off a variety of cancers. Amaranth should be considered a functional food in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Chia seeds were once a power food of the ancient Aztec civilization. Superior in protein quality to wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley, amaranth and soy, chia also offers a disease-fighting arsenal of antioxidants. When combined with liquid, chia seeds swell and form a gel that can be used as an egg substitute in baked goods.

Despite its name, buckwheat has no relation to wheat whatsoever. Rather, this naturally gluten-free grain is the seed of a plant related to rhubarb. The benefits of buckwheat also extend to its mineral and antioxidant composition. Recent findings suggest that buckwheat actually has a glucose-lowering effect.

Millet’s history as a cultivated crop dates back to 6000 BC in China, where it was once considered one of the five sacred crops and was, for thousands of years, the primary grain of northern China. High in fiber and protein, millet helps to keep the digestive tract operating smoothly and lowers the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Millet is one of the only grains that is alkalizing to the body.

Oats are one of the most nutritious, powerful foods you can eat. Oats lower cholesterol, boost immunity, accelerate wound healing and improve the functionality of antibiotics. What really sets oats apart is how they benefit digestion.

Quinoa is classified a super-food by nutritionists and a “super-crop” by the United Nations. The National Academy of Sciences calls quinoa “one of the best sources of protein in the vegetable kingdom.”

Rice is one of the most ancient cultivated foods. Beyond being naturally gluten-free, brown rice is rich in antioxidants and minerals such as selenium and manganese. Like many other whole grains, brown rice is high in fiber, which assists in weight loss and maintenance, digestive health and stabilization of the body’s blood sugar levels.

Sorghum, an ancient cereal grain that’s a staple crop in India and throughout Africa, has long been considered a safe grain alternative for people who cannot tolerate gluten. Sorghum promotes a healthy metabolism, thanks to its high magnesium and copper levels.

Teff, native to Ethiopia and smaller than any other grain, has origins that can be traced back between 4000 and 1000 BC. Teff is high in resistant starch, a type of dietary fiber that benefits blood sugar management, weight control and colon health.

ECOrenaissance: A Lifestyle Guide for Cocreating a Stylish, Sexy, and Sustainable World Aug 24, 2020

For too long, commerce has ignored the health of our planet and our bodies.

How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Can Help You & Your Teens with Strong Emotions. Aug 20, 2020

Lisa M. Schab, LCSW, joins Lisa to discuss dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), an offshoot of cognitive behavioral therapy that targets emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

A follow up to "Put Your Worries Here" -- the first journal in The Instant Help Guided Journals for Teens series -- "Put Your Feelings Here" focuses on reducing and managing debilitating emotions such as fear, frustration, stress, and sadness.

Unlike most journals designed for teens, Lisa M. Schab, LCSW, uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), an offshoot of cognitive behavioral therapy that targets emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

With prompts that guide teens to finding fragrances they love, planning the ultimate party, and giving loved ones advice, teens will learn to stay calm, reduce intense emotions, and enter a state of mindfulness that they can use well beyond their teen years.

Listen as Schab joins Lisa to share more about DBT and how people of any age can use the technique to manage their feelings.

Living with an Invisible Illness with Jennifer Esposito Aug 17, 2020

Actress Jennifer Esposito knows firsthand the "invisible" aspect that makes celiac disease so difficult to deal with.

Almost daily she hears the phrase, "You don't look sick."

For those with celiac, it can become a constant struggle to get people to understand the pain that you're suffering silently. Just because they can't see it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

This is especially true if you don't have the "typical" symptoms of celiac. For years, Jennifer suffered from everything from sinus infections to digestive issues and panic attacks. She was labeled a hypochondriac and "dramatic," and doctors put her on medications like Prozac.

Even the supposed "experts" don't always listen, and it can kill your soul to go so unheard for so long... to know something is truly wrong but no one recognizes that's the case.

Jennifer has seen major resistance with the press in accepting that celiac is a serious disease, so just imagine what the normal, everyday person goes through.

What advice does Jennifer have for those suffering from celiac?

First, look your disease in the face, accept it and digest it. Accept your disease for what it is and move forward. Be clear and honest with yourself; it's a journey every day.

Once you accept this in yourself, you can look to those who support you.

Finally, understand those who can't understand; but also seek out those who will always be there for you.

Jennifer and Lisa discuss the invisible nature of celiac, as well as ways to cope with this painful and often debilitating disease.

Making sense of labels (USDA certified organic, grass-fed, Non-GMO, or free-range, & more!) Aug 13, 2020

When you're trying to shop "healthier" it can be overwhelming to understand what labels like USDA certified organic, grass-fed, Non-GMO, or free-range actually mean.

Can you really trust that these labels accurately reflect what they appear to claim? What about foods that use natural pesticides versus synthetic ones -- are they truly safe?

Lisa covers a selection of these labels, as well as the importance of paying close attention to the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists.

How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t with Your Kids Aug 11, 2020

FYI: THIS WAS TAPED BEFORE COVID19 or I would have asked her about parenting during this time.

You're not a bad parent if you sometimes yell. It happens. The key is not getting carried away or falling into a pattern of shouting at your kids.

When your kid is having a meltdown in the middle of the grocery store, or has disobeyed you for the fifth time that day, it can take everything in your will to keep yourself from having your own meltdown.

You're not a bad parent if you sometimes yell. It happens. The key is not getting carried away or falling into a pattern of shouting at your kids.

Carla Naumburg, PhD, author of How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t with Your Kids: A Guide to Becoming a Calmer, Happier Parent, found her own way to calm after realizing there had to be a better way.

In his episode, she joins Lisa to discuss the book, as well as offer these tips:

Know your triggers by understanding what sets you off.
Make buttons as push-proof as possible by getting enough sleep, single-tasking, accepting support, and not beating yourself up.
Do literally anything else when on the brink of explosion. It could be the classic three deep breaths, but it could also be playing a little air guitar -- anything that redirects.

Beyond Recycling - How to Make the World a Better & More Sustainable Place. Aug 06, 2020

Small steps lead to greater environmental change.

Sustainability and environmental concerns are impacted by the small choices you make in daily life.

Eco-evangelist Ashlee Piper urges for people to take a step beyond recycling. While recycling helps reduce overall waste, examining one’s daily garbage creation will make a bigger difference. Look at how much packaging you throw away in a day.

Transitioning to a plant-based diet is good for the health of the planet. If you aren’t ready to eliminate meat completely, reducing your weekly consumption helps.

For your fur baby, sustainable pet supplies are great. T-shirt strips braided into ropes make great toys. Consider second-hand supplies.

Get smart at the supermarket. Eat ugly produce. Bring your own bags. Shop bulk foods to avoid excessive packaging.

Listen as Ashlee joins Lisa to share tips on how to make the world a better, more sustainable place.

Be More Tree - How to feel more steady and grounded. Aug 04, 2020

Lisa is joined by Alice Peck, author of "Be More Tree."

Every tree tells a complete and ongoing story; from its powerful taproots to the birds that alight on its fragile high branches. Trees reflect our lives through their perseverance and seasonal rhythms; always changing yet consistent. They evolve along a much more protracted timetable than humans.

Like us, trees feel and react to their environment, and communicate with us in subtle but distinct ways.

Alice suggests exploring trees from four perspectives:

Roots:wisdom and understanding
Branches: symbols and rituals
Leaves: healing and science
Seeds: transformation and spirituality

All of these elements show us how, although they live outside us, trees offer a path to our inner selves.

From the Bodhi Tree to the Garden of Eden, the Druids to forest monks, medicines to tire swings, people have always received physical, psychological, and spiritual sustenance from trees.

Filled with insights from botany to poetry, ecology to mythology, and herbalism to sacraments, Be More Tree explores the ways these grounded yet soaring entities can steady and move us, teach and transform us, inspire and comfort us.

Finding Your Why - A huge step towards making your healthy living goals a reality! Jul 30, 2020

What is the real reason you want to change? A lot of people want to make healthy lifestyle changes. Some even start to make those changes, but then "fall off the wagon."

The key is uncovering what your "why" is. What is the real reason you want to change? It's not something that can necessarily be answered overnight; it requires peeling away all the layers and digging deep.

Once you do identify your why, actually making change takes practice -- weeks, maybe months. But, the end goal will be worth it if your desired change is truly your why.

Lisa discusses how to find your why, make healthy lifestyle changes, and meet (or even exceed) the goals you set out to achieve.

What Quitting Hair Dye Taught Me about Health and Beauty Jul 28, 2020

Ronnie Citron-Fink had dyed her hair for 25 years... until she started to think about what's really in that hair dye.

It's estimated that approximately two-thirds of women color their hair. Some do this to switch things up while many dye their hair to cover grays.

Ronnie Citron-Fink had dyed her hair for 25 years, visiting the salon every few weeks to hide gray roots... until she started to think about what's really in that hair dye. As a journalist covering health and the environment, she didn't stop at just wondering -- she decided to take action.

Her book, True Roots: What Quitting Hair Dye Taught Me about Health and Beauty, was the result of her investigation into the potential dangers of hair dyes.

Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism, and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100 Jul 16, 2020

Lisa interviews author and science journalist Marta Zaraska.

Description of her book, "Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism, and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100."

A smart, research-driven case for why optimism, kindness, and strong social networks will help us live to 100.

From the day her daughter was born, science journalist Marta Zaraska fretted about what she and her family were eating. She fasted, considered adopting the keto diet, and ran a half-marathon. She bought goji berries and chia seeds and ate organic food.

But then her research brought her to read countless scientific papers and to interview dozens of experts in various fields of study, including molecular biochemistry, epidemiology and neuroscience. What Marta discovered shattered her long-held beliefs about aging and longevity. A strong support network of family and friends, she learned, lowers mortality risk by about 45 percent, while exercise only lowers it by about 23 percent. Volunteering your free time lowers it by 22 percent or so, while certain health fads like turmeric haven't been shown to help at all. These revelations led Marta Zaraska to a simple conclusion: In addition to healthy nutrition and physical activity, deepening friendships, practicing empathy and contemplating your purpose in life can improve your lifespan.

Through eleven chapters that take her around the world, from catching wild mice in the woods of central England to flower arranging with octogenarians in Japan, from laboratories to "hugging centres," Marta embarks on an absorbing, entertaining and insightful journey to determine the habits that will have the greatest impact on our longevity.

Deeply researched and expertly reported, Growing Young will dramatically change the way you seek a longer, happier life.

For years experts have told us that eating fat is bad. But by banning fat from our diets, we’ve deprived ourselves of considerable health benefits—and have actually sabotaged our own efforts to lose weight.

Though they originally came from vastly different schools of thought about diet and weight loss, renowned nutritionist Jonny Bowden and well-respected physician Steven Masley independently came to the same conclusion about why so many people continually fail to shed pounds and get healthy. It all comes back to a distinction far more important than calories vs. carbs or paleo vs. plant-based: smart fat vs. dumb fat.

In Smart Fat, they explain the amazing properties of healthy fat, including its ability to balance hormones for increased energy and appetite control, and its incredible anti-inflammatory benefits. The solution for slimming down—and keeping the pounds off for life—is to “smart-fat” your meals, incorporating smart fats with fiber, protein, and most importantly, flavor. Bowden and Masley identify smart fats, explain what not to eat, and provide a thirty-day meal plan and fifty recipes based on the magic formula of fat, fiber, protein, and flavor.

It’s time to unlearn what we think we know about food. Getting smart about fat—and everything you eat—and learning to smart-fat your meals is the only solution you'll ever need.

Lisa's new co-host Sunni Dayz will be back on Thursday!

Here is the book description:

The New York Times bestselling author of The Sneaky Chef brings us the next trend in healthy eating with delicious and easy recipes whipped up with nutrient-dense purees to create leaner, cleaner yet ridiculously tasty meals.

BLEND (blend) NOUN: a combination of different tastes made from superfoods, like blueberries, kale, and broccoli that are packed with disease fighting phytonutrients, fiber, and low in calories.

When the New York Times bestselling Sneaky Chef took off, Missy Chase Lapine knew parents were finally getting their kids to eat healthy with hidden veggie purees (a.k.a. Blends). What surprised her, though, was that those same parents were using Blends in their own recipes and feeling more energized. Taking her cue from those parents, Missy is on a mission with Sneaky Blends to show how anyone can eat healthy without sacrificing taste.

Starting off with fifteen signature Base Blends, such as Butternut Squash-Apple, Black Bean-Blueberry-Baby Kale, and Carrot-Sweet Potato, Missy shows you how these nutrient packed blends can kick start your healthy lifestyle. When these blends are added to your favorite recipes or one of Missy’s delicious recipes like Zucchini Pasta Piccata, Chai Tea Smoothie Bowl, Cheesy Kale-Basil Soufflé, Meaty Mushroom Bolognese, or 45-Calorie Pumpkin Whoopie Pies, they instantly become healthy. This is healthy eating without deprivation!

Missy also has created the Blends Cleanse™, a 3-day Body Reboot that you can tailor to your own lifestyle, giving you a diet do-over and setting you on the path to weight loss. Full of gorgeous color photos and tips and tricks to start blending, this is the only cookbook you will need to detox and transform your overall health while still enjoying delicious meals.

Lisa is joined by Sunni Dayz who shares her personal journey with end stage renal disease (kidney failure) and how it was akin to a metamorphosis. This metamorphosis led to her spiritual journey where she tapped into her center and from there connected to her source. This led her to a place of meditation which has helped her deal with the stress of not only her health, but being an African American Woman in this day and age.

Speaking of being an African American Woman in this day and age, we need change. We've needed change for decades upon decades so I am happy to announce that Sunni and I are creating a podcast about how to be an ally. We've both been passionate about social justice and helping others to unlearn racism, recognize their biases, and get real about their white privilege. So get ready to change!!

In the meantime, I am sure you will enjoy this wonderful interview where Sunni shares her journey to healing.

Be sure to share this with your friends and family. Sunni and I are dedicating this episode to the memory of George Floyd and the many African American men, women, and children killed unjustly.

WHEN I MOVED TO NEW YORK, 15 YEARS AGO, I EXPERIENCED THE BIGGEST WEIGHT GAIN OF MY LIFE. I STOPPED RUNNING AND STARTED BEING OBSESSED ABOUT MY WEIGHT. I STARTED TRYING ALL THE DIETS ON THE MARKET…

I WAS NOT LOSING ANY WEIGHT, BUT I WAS LOSING MY JOY, HAPPINESS AND APPETITE FOR LIFE.

MY FIXATION WAS SO BIG THAT I STARTED TO GET ANGRY AND DEPRESSED. AFTER HITTING ROCK BOTTOM, I DECIDED TO TAKE OVER MY LIFE.

I BLEW UP MY DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS OF SELF-HATE AND DISAPPOINTMENT AND I CREATED A NEW APPROACH TO SELF-LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF.

AT THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY , I THOUGHT LOSING WEIGHT WAS THE KEY TO MY HAPPINESS… WITH TIME, I LEARNED THAT BEING SKINNY, FINDING THE JOB, THE HOUSE OR THE PARTNER WAS NOT GOING TO BRING ME ANY JOY OR FELLING OF SUCCESS. I NEEDED TO FIRST FIND THE HAPPINESS WITHOUT ANY CONDITION.

Taking Care of Your Mental Health during COVID-19 May 05, 2020

Lisa is joined by Anne O. Boudreau the author of "A Human Mosaic: heal, re-new, and develop self-worth" to talk about a myriad of issues related to COVID-19 including taking care of our mental health.

Here is a bit about Anne's book:

You have one life.

One life. That's all, at least here on Earth.

Every facet of who you are and how you live your life is filtered through your internal sense of self: how worthy you believe you are, the value you place on yourself as a human being. How you feel about yourself is the lens through which you view everything in your life. Your energy, attitude, health, sexuality, resilience, ability to focus, sleep, and every relationship and interaction is impacted by how you feel in your innermost core being.

You may not know what your purpose is yet, but we each have one. We all have something to contribute to the grand scheme of things. But first, you must believe in yourself, feel at peace with who you are, stop oppressing your own abilities. Learning to like who you are -- LOVE who you are -- is worth striving for, because it will change your life.

Having gone through the process of uncovering, discovering, and recovering my own self-worth, I will walk you through the steps as we move through the sections of A Human Mosaic. Humans are designed to be lifelong learners when we operate at our optimum level. It is never too late to change.

Live the healthiest, most fulfilling life possible by knowing that your life matters.

How Friendships Enrich Our Lives and Our Health Apr 28, 2020

We all yearn for a deeply satisfying life filled with meaning, purpose, peace, and security. In this disaffected world we seek a sense of belonging; to be accepted and loved for who we are.

The Friendship Key to Lasting Peace, United Communities, Stronger Relationships, Equality, and a Better Job! author, family physician and counsellor, Dr Winfried Sedhoff reveals how friendship empowers us to achieve such meaning, and by doing so reconnect with, and ultimately, change the world.

But first this pivotal book maps the disconnection. Dr Sedhoff gently reveals how we lost sight of close personal connection; what made competition more important than uniting as friends; why we'd rather keep up with the Jones's and the ruthless pursuit of often-insatiable lusts than support and care for one another. He reminds us of the inevitable personal, social, and global devastation when we no longer prioritise and value being friends. Outlining why friendship is critical.

Blending elements of Dr Sedhoff passions for history, tribal society, ethnology, psychology, and self-understanding we are offered a tool-chest brimming with simple, practical, steps to help us prioritise and build friendships, be liked, strengthen the depth and quality of our relationships, increase business success to global standards, eliminate bullying, prejudice and hate, uniting communities, and restoring governments to the people - finally ridding them of corruption.

As our own lives are transformed we automatically become powerful instigators of immense positive social and global change; the creators of a satisfying peace potentially spanning generations.

The life we long for is at our fingertips. This book outlines the tools we need to grasp it.

The Healing Power of Mindfulness Apr 07, 2020

Discover how mindfulness can help you with healing.

More than 20 years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn showed us the value of cultivating greater awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, in The Healing Power of Mindfulness, he shares a cornucopia of specific examples as to how the cultivation of mindfulness can reshape your relationship with your own body and mind - explaining what we're learning about neuroplasticity and the brain, how meditation can affect our biology and our health, and what mindfulness can teach us about coming to terms with all sorts of life challenges, including our own mortality, so we can make the most of the moments we have.

Originally published in 2005 as part of a larger book titled Coming to Our Senses, The Healing Power of Mindfulness features a new foreword by the author and timely updates throughout the text. If you are interested in learning more about how mindfulness as a way of being can help us to heal, physically and emotionally, look no further than this deeply personal and also "deeply optimistic book, grounded in good science and filled with practical recommendations for moving in the right direction" (Andrew Weil, MD), from one of the pioneers of the worldwide mindfulness movement.

Tales from a Naturalist in Costa Rica Mar 31, 2020

Evelio's Garden is a lyrical meditation on cultural values, friendship, aging, loss, and, ultimately, the healing power of the natural world.

In the enchanting world of the of Costa Rican highlands, the author begins a memoir, tracing the seasons and closely observing the natural riches around her. But Evelio, who helped build their house, interrupts with an idea to plant an organic garden on their property. Over the course of a challenging year full of unpredictable weather, wild animals and toxic chemicals, their friendship grows as Evelio teaches her about the rural sustainability of Costa Rica in decades past. Pulling her into the daily ups and downs of his project, he creates an often funny, always frustrating, and ultimately rewarding counterpoint to her own work, such that the two intertwine on the page...and lead her to confront a difficult past and open up to profound personal change.

Sandra Shaw Homer has lived in Costa Rica for 29 years, where she has taught languages and worked as an interpreter/translator and environmental activist. In addition to a column in the local press, her creative nonfiction, fiction and poetry have appeared in a variety of print and online literary and travel journals, as well as on her own blog, writingfromtheheart.net.

Encore Episode: Myofascial Release Physical Therapy to Address Pain Jul 17, 2018

Could myofascial release treatment (MFR) be the answer to your chronic pain?When we encounter traumatic or dangerous events, we either stay and fight or we run to save our lives as a defense mechanism. Most people are familiar with this fight/flight response. However, there is a third option called the ‘freeze’ response. When we freeze, the emotional and physical components of the traumatic event are stored on a cellular level. During a myofascial release treatment (MFR) it is not uncommon for these emotions, events and memories to come to the surface and be released allowing people to understand why they have certain physical or behavioral patterns in life.

Vitamin D Facts That May Change Your Life Apr 27, 2018

Learn some basic truths about vitamin D.With so much data about vitamin D available, it’s easy to get confused. Some of that information is conflicting. Registered dietician Heidi Moretti says vitamin D helps your body create hormones. She breaks down the most important things you should know about vitamin D. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin D is 600 IU (international units). 5000 IU is comparable to a grain of rice. Spending a little time in the sun gives you 10,000 to 25,000 IU of vitamin D. Vitamin D changes disease risk because it affects how your genes work. It dampens genetic expression of autoimmune disorders and cancer. Best nutritional sources of vitamin D are wild salmon and mushrooms, but it takes a lot of food to reach the amounts available from some sunshine. Supplements can enhance the vitamin D you get from the sun and food. Vitamin D3 comes from lanolin and is an effective supplement. Vitamin D2 is derived from mushrooms and is less effective but vegan. Sun exposure is a concern. If your shadow is long when you stand in the sun, you’re not getting enough of the right kind of UV rays to create vitamin D. Stick to supplements if you don’t have much melanin in your skin. Listen as Heidi joins host Lisa Davis to discuss vitamin D basics you should know and how essential oils can help you.

Myofascial Release Physical Therapy to Address Pain Mar 06, 2018

Could myofascial release treatment (MFR) be the answer to your chronic pain?When we encounter traumatic or dangerous events, we either stay and fight or we run to save our lives as a defense mechanism. Most people are familiar with this fight/flight response. However, there is a third option called the ‘freeze’ response. Get farm to table ingredients and recipes delivered right to your door every week with Sun Basket.

During a myofascial release treatment (MFR) it is not uncommon for these emotions, events and memories to come to the surface and be released allowing people to understand why they have certain physical or behavioral patterns in life. This, in turn, allows for closure to the traumatic experience. MFR focuses on releasing the restrictions within the fascial system, helping with a host of injuries and ailments in children and adults ranging from neck and back pain, arthritis and degenerative disk disease to headaches and migraines, sciatica, scoliosis and sports injuries to name a few. Fascia, a web of connective tissue that spreads from head to toe, covers and interpenetrates every muscle, bone, vessel, nerve and cell in the body. Restricted fascia is often a major source of pain. MFR therapists apply gentle and sustained elongation or compression in the areas of tightness or pain, releasing the fascia and freeing up the spaces in between the joints, muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels. The treatment realigns the body, restores fluidity, elongates elastin and collagen fibers and results in increased flexibility, strength and function.

In its capacity to completely destroy personalities, relationships and daily living, we cannot afford to continue thinking of it as a private disease. Alzheimer's is a family problem -- ruthless in its scope and spread. And, despite relentless trials and research studies, scientists have not found a drug to control it. Even worse, there isn't even a fully reliable diagnostic test for it. Alzheimer's disease has become a gigantic specter that looms before all of us as we age, and it is advancing unimpeded. Today we know that contributing factors and symptoms (such as stress and hypertension) can be alleviated with holistic, alternate management approaches, like meditation, yoga, music therapy and virtual reality therapy. Research studies from Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University and Mayo Clinic, among many others, have demonstrated the comprehensive benefits of yoga and meditation on various aspects of the human mind. When you think about it, that's where Alzheimer's disease develops: in the mind. How can meditation and yoga stop or even reverse the course of Alzheimer's? They set the mind on an inward journey where the risk factors that precipitate the disease are formed. This bridging of the old and new creates an imperative paradigm shift in our perspective toward Alzheimer's disease management. Shuvendu Sen, MD, author of Why Buddha Never Had Alzheimer's, joins host Lisa Davis to discuss why these holistic approaches are precisely what is needed to cause a drastic and necessary revolution in medical care.

Socializing, Conversation & Laughter One of the best ways to unwind is to think of who in your life you enjoy the most and spend some quality time with them having fun. When we spend time with our favorite people, it allows us to release stress and let go of anything weighing on our heads. Talk therapy and laughter therapy are two of the lowest cost and most effective ways to let go of the trouble we have bottled up. Now you can save money on your life insurance just for being healthy.

Meditation Meditation is a simple and extremely effective way of quieting our minds and alleviating stress in the moment. Meditation can be the act of doing anything where your mind concentrates on one thing. It can be gardening, reading, cooking and of course sitting still and breathing. Taking as little of 5 minutes a day to sit still and breathe has been proven to lower stress and ease many health issues, such as high blood pressure, depression, and anxiety. 3. Positive Affirmations We all have so much mind chatter and negative self-talk going 24 hours a day! In order to de-clutter our minds it is SUPER helpful to become fully aware of the conversations we have with ourselves in our head. Once we become conscious of the negative self-talk, we can create positive self-talk to replace those thoughts. So, write down all the negative stories you tell yourself about your past, your failures, mistakes, worries and fears. Then take each statement and write a positive affirmation in opposition to that statement. When that negative statement comes back into your mind, recognize it and say the positive affirmation over in its place. You can also write all your affirmations down and print them out. Read them daily in the morning and at night this will reprogram your subconscious so that you don’t have the negative thoughts, instead the positive thoughts will begin to be your default setting. 4. Sleep Sleeping lets your mind rest and hit the reset button. Sleep is one of the best and easiest tools we have to de-clutter our mind. Usually when we wake up we feel lighter, refreshed and energized and often have a shift in perspective. Often sleeping is where we have some of greatest creative inspirations, waking up full of excitement about a new idea which came forth because of the space made in the mind by going to sleep. When you have a decision to make and your mind feels too full, before going to bed, ask yourself “what should I do about this situation?” and then go to bed. Many times, this will give you so much more clarity and you will know exactly what to do. 5. Staycation AWAY from Home Stay-cations are awesome because you don’t have to pay for travel, but get all the benefits of a vacation. Pick a day or two a month to go to a local hotel. It’s ME-TIME and so schedule it in advance. This is an easy getaway because there is no housework, bills and distractions. Taking the time to unwind is so helpful in releasing stress and mind-clutter. 6. 24 Hours with NO Electronics (DEVICE DETOX!!) In this crazy instant communication world this piece of advice may be one of the hardest to implement, but it is one of the most valuable! One of the reasons for our mind-clutter is that our sub-conscious mind is processing so many pieces of information every second. The more you get on the computer to do emails, use Facebook and watch TV the more info overload your mind experiences. Plan one day a month to

The Many Benefits of Bone Broth Sep 22, 2017

Bone broth is unique in that it utilizes ingredients that are rarely used but that produce a great deal of collagen.Did you know that bones are basically 50 percent protein? Cooking them in a broth extracts the protein and amino acids -- like collagen, glycine and glucosamine -- that are then converted by your body into energy, stronger muscles, and a more effective immune system. Bone broth is unique in that it utilizes ingredients that are rarely used but that produce a great deal of collagen. Collagen does a whole host of amazing things for the human body: Skin: Bone broth promotes healthy skin and improves the skin’s elasticity, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, helps wounds heal faster, and protects against the signs of aging due to sun damage. Joints: Increasing the amount of collagen in your body can also improve your joint health. Collagen can help rebuild tendons and ligaments which can lead to less inflammation and a decrease in joint pain. Digestion: One of the highly touted benefits of bone broth is its positive effect on digestive problems – particularly leaky gut. Collagen can help to improve the structure of the gut by restoring the stomach lining. This is an issue faced regularly by people suffering from IBS, inflammation, and celiac disease. Listen as Justin Mares, Co-Founder of Kettle & Fire, joins host Lisa Davis to explain all the benefits of bone broth.

They can act both intentionally, but also unconsciously, to deny and avoid pain or suffering. And, they do it quite well. In fact, perfectly. But what’s a syndrome? Here’s what the dictionary offers: “Pathology, Psychiatry. a group of symptoms that together are characteristic of a specific disorder, disease, or the like.” In perfectly hidden depression (PHD), it’s a set of behaviors, thought patterns, and emotions (or lack thereof) that are often found together in someone. If you see one, you may be likely to see the other. Like red hair and freckles. Or salt and pepper. Here are ten characteristics. They’re not all present in every person who might recognize themselves in PHD. But they’re fairly consistent. 1) Perfectionism with a constant, critical inner voice 2) Heightened or excessive sense of responsibility 3) Difficulty with accepting and expressing painful emotions 4) Worry/Need for control over herself and her environment 5) Intense focus on tasks, using accomplishment as a way to feel vulnerable 6) Active concern about the well-being of others, while not allowing anyone into his inner world 7) Discounts or dismisses hurt or abuse from the past or present 8) Accompanying mental health issues, involving control or escape from anxiety 9) A strong belief in counting your blessings as the foundation of well being 10) Intimate relationships may be difficult, but are accompanied by professional success Listen as Margaret Rutherford, PhD, joins host Lisa Davis to discuss PHD.
