Lisa is joined by Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary, MD who shares three Ayurvedic gut/mind actions that can spontaneously help improve mood this spring (including: switching your inner dialogue, herbs that help, and meditation and mantras).The science of mental health and the gut microbiome is only now emerging in modern medicine, however this connection between gut and brain has been understood for thousands of years in Ayurveda. Dr. Chaudhary shares how coordinating healing of the mind with the gut, from the ancient science of Ayurveda can help immediately reap the harvest of a happier and more fulfilled year.
Also, The Wall Street Journal ran an article reporting on two new studies showing gut bacteria is linked to depression. What modern medicine is now discovering about this connection, ancient medicine has known for centuries, and Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary can share with your audience how to get your mind-gut connection in sync for the spring. Would you like to schedule an interview Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary? More details:
Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary, MD, author of “The Prime” says depression isn’t just a mind game, but very much a gut game too and new research is validating what ancient medicine has been focused on for centuries. Two new studies published in the journal Nature Communications found a link between several types of bacteria in the gut and depressive symptoms. Scientists are exploring whether some gut bacteria produce or consume mood-regulating chemicals, such as serotonin, or chemicals that cause inflammation in the body, which research has linked to depressive symptoms.
Dr. Chaudhary is an internationally recognized expert in the ancient practice of Ayurvedic medicine (pronounced eye-yur-vayda and translated to “knowledge of life”). She says, in Ayurveda medicine, the gut and brain are one functional unit and the fastest way to shift mood is by changing diet, improving gut health and shifting your microbiome. When the gut-brain connection is disrupted—no matter what else you may add to boost your mood—you’re fighting an uphill battle. Dr. Chaudhary says without addressing gut health, you can spend years searching for mental health solutions with limited or unproductive results.

EP#17: BOOK: "PLAYING DEAD: A Novel." AUTHOR: Peggy Rothschild Apr 20, 2023

Lisa is joined by Peggy Rothchilds, to talk about her book PLAYING DEAD: A Novel. It's a cozy mystery full of wonderful dogs who are integral to the story.
Always a mystery-lover, Peggy embraced the tales of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys before graduating to the adult section of the library. An English major in high school, she switched to art -- her other passion -- in college. At present, Peggy lives in the beach community of Ventura with her husband and their cats. In my spare time, she focuses on transforming her yard into a drought-tolerant paradise.
Here is the book description:
Molly Madison has barely had a moment to catch her breath after moving to the sleepy beach town she now calls home. But as a former PI, she can’t help but notice the odd chemistry between members of Playtime Academy on the first day she and her loyal Saint Bernadoodle, Noodle, and golden retriever, Harlow, visit. When a trainer’s body is found on-site, Molly knows it’s her duty to put her ex-police skills to use. She can’t say no to temporarily taking in the deceased woman’s dog, either—not with those puppy dog eyes.
Relationships at the training facility are not as clean as the prize-winning agility runs, making it difficult for Molly to get a leash on potential suspects. And her personal life is just as messy—her boyfriend is hiding something, her agoraphobic neighbor needs help, and her number of four-legged friends keep growing as she agrees to dogsit a wriggly local French bulldog.
When Molly’s friend is arrested for the murder, she’s not sure who to believe anymore. Is the case as simple as the local cops make it seem, or is something more devious afoot?
