Mindfulness is the practice of purposely bringing one's attention to the present-moment experience without evaluation, a skill one develops through meditation or other training. The merging of the two is how we can live in the moment and better manage our responses to life.

Why do we sleep? Nearly every living creature on the planet sleeps in some way, but why. Scientists have pondered this question for thousands of years, and an official scientific certainty has yet to be reached. That point, however, is moot. The fact is we need to sleep. Lack of sleep for prolonged periods can lead to numerous health issues, even death. And even though it is one of the most essential things we do, it is not so simple for many people. Join us in this episode as we explore issues related to difficulty sleeping and some ways to help combat that pesky villain, insomnia.

"Lana Walsh is a Sleep Coach who helps people overcome insomnia so that they wake up feeling rested and refreshed and ready to take on the day. Lana found out she had restless leg syndrome (RLS) as a teenager but did not get treatment for over a decade. This led to developing insomnia. For 30 years, she struggled to find the answer, trying “literally everything” without relief. When she was introduced to emotional freedom techniques (EFT, AKA tapping), she started on the path to recovery.

Tapping helped to reduce Lana’s stress and anxiety which allowed her to sleep better and get off prescription sleeping pills. Determined to continue this path, she began researching sleep where she finally found the answer to fixing her insomnia. She is passionate about sharing the secrets to overcoming insomnia and helping people get the same results that have transformed her life. She is a registered CBT-i coach and Conscious EFT Level 1-2 practitioner."

Dr. Carly speaks of important philosophical shifts in self care, including what it takes to move from a focus on disease management to true health care and the practical things we can do for ourselves instead of the constant search for the silver bullet.

March is Athletic Trainer Awareness Month, and their slogan this year is providing health everywhere. ATCs are the backbone of sports that keep adults and youth safe. They are rarely thanked for the hard work they put in and often aren't anyone's "friend" on the team because they have to keep one goal in mind, safety.

"Fred Rutman, BA, CACE, MBA, is a Certified Marketing Specialist, Intermittent Faster and Coach, and Death and Brain Trauma Survivor. He is currently writing the medical trauma memoir ""The Summer I Died Twenty Times."

He is currently living in Toronto. He was a marketing person and college prof (MBA, Marketing and Finance) for several years until the summer of 2009 came crashing down on him and forced him onto permanent medical leave. Something was causing him to, what they thought was, pass out randomly, but it was worse than that - It turns out his heart was stopping. He was clinically dead dozens of times. After sustaining multiple concussions, they eventually put in a pacemaker, which was great until the infallible pacemaker failed in 2013. And 2018, with more complications in 2019 and 2020.

In 2018, he learned about intermittent fasting, and his life hasn't been the same since. He attributes the large majority of his recovery to the healing powers of IF. He was able to reverse his T2 diabetes and some of its related issues and is no longer asthmatic, and his sleep apnea went away. Yes, there is still some perpetual anxiety, PTSD, and Post Concussion Syndrome, but it gets better every day.

Research on disease and conditions over the years has been done on one population and then extrapolated out. What does this mean? Until the 90s only cismen were allowed to be researched. This has led to gaps in knowledge and missing information concerning heart health in women, transgender, and non-binary individuals. This is dangerous and can lead to significant harm so tune in to hear the difference. This may save a loved one or your own life.

Dr. Kevin Payne lived with a recurrent mystery illness for more than 30 years. It was only correctly diagnosed a65s multiple sclerosis in 2006. During that time, he spent a decade supporting a wife through advanced cancer. In 2019, despite his wonky legs and sketchy central nervous system, he decided to reclaim a lost childhood dream, face his fears of a body that increasingly doesn’t want to cooperate, and become a serious skydiver. He’s earned all the licenses and logged 600 jumps since. As a professional researcher, He’s also devoted the last decade to original research on the question, “how can we experience a great life, even when we’re ‘sick?’” Then he wrote a book, founded a company, and built a curriculum training those diagnosed, loved ones and caregivers, and medical professionals about the many, surprising consequences of life with a chronic illness that no one prepared us for.

Within the past decades, a whole new form of post-surgical healing has emerged – Post Surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage (PS-MLD). While there are many therapists trained to perform standard MLD for health and wellness purposes, they are not necessarily skilled in PS-MLD. To add to the confusion, there is a contingent of therapists who have created their own techniques to use post-surgically and those techniques completely oppose the long-studied, evidence-based, proven MLD techniques introduced by Dr. Vodder and others. So join us today as we discuss how PS-MLD can benefit you.

Our guest today is Mr. Kevin Rebman, owner of Return to Play Institute, a massage therapy clinic with locations in St. Paul and Edina, Minnesota.

As a clinical manual soft tissue therapist, Kevin treats teen and adult clients who: are seeking better performance in their activities; may be recovering from surgery or trauma; or they just want to receive regular, targeted bodywork to maintain peak performance.

Mr. Rebman holds a Bachelors Degree from UW-Green Bay, a Masters degree from Aspen University in Colorado, and a Clinical Massage Therapy degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota.

In addition to his clinic time, Kevin spends many weekends working as an EMT on the sidelines of youth performing arts and athletic events. He enjoys the intricacies of performance bodywork and celebrates when his clients achieve their personal goals!

This week on the podcast, we will be talking about money—specifically financial freedom and what money can do for you. Financial freedom is the ability to not worry about money in your life. Each person or family has their own needs, therefore, their idea of financial freedoms. Defining your freedom helps you know what you need to cut out or how you need to grow. So stay tuned to hear how this week.

Yoga goes beyond just gentle stretching or sweating in a hot yoga class. It is a mindset of inner peace and healing. Stress can cause significant mental, emotional and physical problems. When stress manifests as a physical this is where having a calming mindset can be a huge benefit.

Ahlia is a lover of life. She exudes joyfulness and compassion and loves authentic connection. Previously a World Ranked Professional Tandem Surfer, Ahlia 5th in the world in 2015. Ahlia (pronounced like the flower Dahlia) enjoyed taking her practice off of the mat and onto the waves competing locally and globally as well as tandem surfed for fun during the off season.
Her champion qualities include the ability to maintain focused concentration, discipline, visualization and breath work, as well as keeping a mentality of competition with herself coupled with encouraging and supporting the other teams and individuals.
Ahlia has traveled the world to both teach and study yoga, and has had life-enriching adventures teaching in Costa Rica, Hawaii, Israel, Bali and the Caribbean, as well as domestically from Minnesota to California, and other amazing locations in between. Ahlia believes in uplifting her students with inspirational quotes and concepts that increase your vibration on a physical and energetic level.  

Ahlia is sought after for her 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Accredited Teacher Training, her unique and inspiring workshops for both teachers and students, local and global yoga retreats, motivational speaking, fundraising events, and private classes. Ahlia’s newest project is a yogi life training, similar to what you learn in yoga teacher training - but without learning to teach classes. This project is inspirational to Ahlia because so many individuals want to deepen their practice and learn more about yoga, but don’t necessarily want to be a teacher. This training is perfect for those who love movement, self-study, and are on the continued path of personal evolution and growth.
If Ahlia knows one thing about teaching yoga it’s that there is always room for growth. Welcoming feedback and mindfully growing towards personal and professional evolution is Ahlia’s commitment and she is grateful for every opportunity to positively impact other people’s lives.

This week we explore trans athlete's access to sports medicine. When athletes do now effectively communicate with their sports medicine team, they can put themselves in danger. They may avoid their trainer because of fear of being targeted. Let's listen to Em walk us through what their research found.

Em is a certified/licensed athletic trainer, currently working at Lake Erie College in Ohio. They also research and educate on LGBTQ+, particularly trans, inclusion in sports medicine. Their first study, “Transgender Athletes' Experiences With Health Care in the Athletic Training Setting”, was published in the Journal of Athletic Training in December 2020. Being a non-binary/trans AT and a former college athlete themself, Em hopes to use their own voice and platform to create structural change and give other trans/non-binary athletes and younger clinicians the resources Em wishes they would have had.

Growing up has its challenges for all of us. For some, school is a great time full of friends, parties, sporting events, and lots of fun. For others, school is an absolute nightmare. Now, imagine being a teenager or even younger and knowing that you are in the wrong body. Or simply that you do not feel like the gender that you have lived as for your whole life so far. Telling these kids that they are wrong can have extremely detrimental effects on their emotional development and their mental health.

DESCRIPTION
Sugar is a drug. It’s not going to kill you as fast as heroin or cocaine, but eventually, it can directly contribute to a shortened lifespan. Our body reacts to sugar in a similarly addictive way, but unlike hard drugs, sugar is readily available on every shelf in every grocery store and gas station. Join us this week as we explore ways to end our relationship with sugar in order to live longer and better.

Dawn is a certified health coach, founder of Dawn Nava Coaching, and creator of the 7-Day Sugar Slay. But not long ago she was also a closet sugar addict and depended on the sweet stuff to get through her days. As a result she was overweight, borderline depressed, moody, had ZERO energy and moved through each day in a fog. At the time she didn’t realize that all of this misery was directly linked to her sugar habits. When she discovered that eating sugar was throwing off her hormones and padding her belly with extra layers of fat, she knew it was time to reset her diet. After slaying sugar, her life turned around. She had the energy of her 25-year-old self. Her moods leveled out, she was able to focus, and she was easily fitting into her clothes again. It’s now her passion to help other women over 40 who are suffering like she did to ditch sugar and discover the power, freedom, and transformation that come with living a sweet life without the sweet stuff.

The internet and social media have been great for information and education. They have also been equally destructive in teaching people, especially young people, that they need to look a certain way to be healthy. While certain levels of excess body fat do have direct correlations with increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, most people who are “over-weight” are still perfectly healthy and only society is saying otherwise. Join us as we investigate the destructive nature of negative body image and how most claims are outright false.

Nearly every person has some experience with toxic relationships. Whether it be personally or via a close friend or family member. It is also important to remember that toxic relationships are not gender exclusive. Either partner can be the aggressor or the victim. It is also common to have two aggressors in a “water and oil” type situation where there may have been warning signs from the very start. Join us this week as we examine the phenomenon of toxic relationships and how we can learn to recognize, heal/coup, and ultimately avoid them completely.

Movies and T.V. often do not show an accurate representation of a person after child birth. What is accurate is how they are often treated by medical professionals in that they give birth, and then they are sent out the door with a nice bill and just enough education to know that shaking a baby is bad, that’s it. Postpartum is often associated with the word depression, but it simply means any point after child birth, and the affects are not only mental. Join us as we learn what postpartum really means and how mothers can actively aid in their own recovery when the hospital setting has not helped.

The word budget can often be scary to many people. We all know it is important to have one and even more important to stick to it. But when it comes to actually looking at our finances, or rather not looking at them, it can feel like we are simply delaying the inevitable.

There are very simple ways that we can better manage our finances, and without having to make more money we can not only continue to do the things we really enjoy but in many cases, we can actually do more of those things while feeling better about it and less guilty.

Do you know what your Pelvic Floor is? Bet that is not part of your normal workout routine, but the pelvic floor is a muscle group that we really should not be ignoring. Poor Pelvic floor control can lead to a multitude of health issues - incontinence, pain, burning. Join us this week as we discuss the how and why of the pelvic floor, and what we can do to prevent dysfunction.

Cathy Watson is a pelvic floor physiotherapist living and working in Vernon, BC and is the owner/operator of Cathy Watson Physiotherapy. She treats men and women with bladder/bowel incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain and diastasis with the help of real time ultrasound, external biofeedback and exercise integration!

Cathy was certified for many years as a group fitness teacher and personal trainer. She then transitioned into and became certified as a Pilates teacher through Stott Pilates. The desire to blend the strong principles from Pilates into her physiotherapy treatment became the foundation of her business. This sparked the interest into knowing more about pelvic health and so the integration of pelvic floor into exercise is now the focus of Cathy’s business.

In addition to running her own business, Cathy is constantly taking continuing education courses as well as developing her own online pelvic floor courses to teach others.
When Cathy isn’t working, she enjoys cycling, reading and spending time on the boat with her hubby and their tripawd.

It’s always easier to just say nothing, right? Just let the awkward situation pass and move on. But what if this keeps happening, with many people and many different situations? Perhaps we have not presented the proper expectations to those around us in regards to how we wish to be treated. While it may be uncomfortable at first if only allow ourselves to say what needs to be said we may be pleasantly surprised as to the outcome.

Dr. Sarah Reck is a physician, a mother of 4, and a fitness junkie!! She is an Anesthesiologist in Milwaukee, WI where she works full time practicing as an anesthesiologist. She is also a mother of 4 beautiful boys, ages 2, 4, 7, 9. Juggling work and motherhood is no small feat (especially with her crazy hours), and one of the ways that she makes sure she is able to take care of everyone else is by taking care of herself. She does this by practicing self-care in the form of exercise.

Fitness has taken on different meanings in different phases of her life and currently she feels like she has come full circle. She was a runner at the onset, but her fitness routine has taken on different forms as the demands of motherhood have taken over. For years, the best time for her to exercise was early in the morning or during kids naps and due to this she started doing more at-home workouts. As her kids are now getting older, she was training for the New York City Marathon in Nov, 2020 which sadly was canceled.

Last, but not least, her professional expertise in Anesthesiologist and personal interests in helping mothers live their best lives have recently merged as she created a course to educate women about pain control options during labor and delivery with an in-depth look at epidural anesthesia and anesthesia for C-Sections. Throughout her 14 year career in medicine, she has placed thousands of epidurals and has been dumbfounded how little GOOD education and information is available about this topic. She has become increasingly frustrated with the fact that women are very educated about the labor and delivery process, but have little education about epidurals. Thus, she set out to create a course filling this void.
The course has now been released and is available for purchase at https://www.sarahreckmd.com/new-page-73

Our emotions and feelings are there for a reason. They help us identify situations as good or bad so that we can act accordingly. However, when our body thinks that we are not acting appropriately, it can ramp up the intensity to the point that we begin having physical reactions to our feelings. In this episode, we will go over some things we can do in order to have a better grasp of our emotions, including what it means to be C.A.L.M.

So sadly, our financial health may take even longer to really be put in the spotlight as something we should be paying more attention to. Our financial health is super important as can have a direct effect on our mental wellbeing through stress as well as our physical if we do not have the funds to keep ourselves healthy should we get sick or injured. On this week’s episode we examine a few simple things that can we can all do to begin our journey towards financial freedom.

This pandemic has shined a light on the worlds medical professionals and has brought to the forefront some previously unmentioned specialists. This week we talk with a raspatory therapist and how their fight against COVID has helped dramatically. The responsibilities that these professionals have to those who have been impacted the most by COVID cannot go overlooked. And if you are fortunate enough to meet one of these people, or unfortunate in some COVID cases, please do not call them nurses.

We all know that hormones affect our bodies, right? But what affects our hormones? In this episode, we dive into how a simple thing all of us do, multiple times a day for most, affects our hormones significantly. Food affects biological males and females differently, and sadly most of the studies into this do not include females in a significant way, if at all.

Sadly, many people do not understand that taking care of ourselves is not simply a physical or monetary requirement, and that mental wellbeing is something that we all need to take into consideration. Burn out can affect anyone from children to seniors and everywhere in-between. There are a number of things that we can do to prevent burnout, and in this episode of our three-episode series on burnout we will explore many contributing factors, triggers, and warning signs that we can take note of in order to see a possible burnout coming in the future.

Menopause is part of life that will affect almost every person on the planet at some point or another, either directly or indirectly. While it can be detrimental in some cases, it is thankfully very manageable in places with access to modern medicine. This episode we hope to clear up some misconceptions about menopause and hopefully provide some previously "unknown" management options. They could simply be unknown because your provider might not know they are options. It takes time and energy to stay up to date on the best care and that is hard to do. It is important that you're aware so you can advocate for the right care.
They include:

Traditional Hormone Replacement
Bioidentical Hormone
Nutraceuticals - Over the counter supplements
Off Label Medication
Acupuncture

Pain is all in your head. No, literally. Pain is simply electrical signals that are interpreted by our brain. We think we feel pain in the parts of our body that hurt when in reality our brains feel the pain. There is the real science behind the idea that emotional stress can manifest as physical stress in our bodies. Health concerns are far too often not all-encompassing to include mental and social stressors. These stressors are uniquely human and often compounded. Join us in discovering what we can do to better manage our pain.

Women’s professional football has been around longer than some NFL and most D1 college players have been alive, yet it is still largely unknown to most football fans. What these athletes may lack in notoriety and million-dollar contracts, they more than makeup for with grit and heart. When women’s football is mentioned many people automatically assume that the sexiest “Lingerie League” is what is being referred to. The WFA and other leagues are very much not this. These athletes train hard and play harder. Except for the noticeable size difference these football players put on a spectacle more than comparable to their male counterparts.

While there are many systemic issues preventing certain populations from advancing in this world, most of the time our greatest enemy is ourselves. Most of us will constantly tell ourselves that we are not good enough and that we are actually “faking it till we make it”. This line of thinking can be detrimental to our progress. We often need to remind ourselves that we are doing something for a purpose and that we are good enough.

There was period of time in our country where a male physique that slightly resembled melted ice cream was considered trendy. In the sports world, this length of time is referred to as “a cup of coffee”, because it is shorter than the time required to consume a mug of brewed caffeine. Sadly, even though people wised up and the attraction is mostly gone, many males still struggle with the infamous Dad Bod. As men age and as life happens, sometimes things like exercise and healthy eating are replaced with second helping plates piled high with stress and processed sugar. In this weeks episode we learn about an interesting support system for males to learn how to lose the Dad flab.
A few years back Mike was a fat, lazy alcoholic executive, eating crappy food but believing he was clever and successful. Deep down he knew his kids, family and career deserved better, so he made the decision to clean up his act and get healthy. Now he is passionate about helping his mates do the same and live the life we all deserve.

Our body doesn’t feel pain. Our, skin, heart, head and back to not “feel” anything. Nerves in these areas take a stimulus and our brain interprets that signal as something that influences our body to react in a certain way. To assume that our thoughts about something will have no impact on our physical performance is asinine. The greatest athletes in the world exercise their minds just as much as their bodies as they understand they symbiotic relationship between attitude and performance. This is a trait shared by successful business people as well. Dwelling on a past mistake can be just as debilitating as a broken bone. This week we welcome (name) founder and CEO of (business name).

Thinking that this world, especially the U.S., is not racially upside down is bafflingly ignorant. The fact that the black community has been able to accomplish the limited amount that they have despite the systemic racism that is still rampant in this world is astonishing. The world is against people of color and yet they persist. It’s heartbreaking to think how much further along we could be as a species if we simply treated people based on their character and not their color.
In this week’s podcast we speak with Jenessa White, a black woman and engineer who is working to promote black-owned business and products through the Amplify Black. Her goal is to get these business owners to grow and thrive by reaching customers online in a world that refuses to help.

Food addiction is one of the hardest addictions to manage because unlike drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, we need to eat. Since the turn of the century, the world has been bombarded with warnings and advertisements stressing the risks of an unhealthy diet. Unhealthy diets can lead directly to things like heart disease, which is the number one cause of death worldwide. And even with all of this information and science to support it, The United States continues to be one of the most overweight countries in the world. There are many factors contributing to this epidemic and on today’s podcast we will delve into why we eat what we eat, and how we can be better at it.

What is an ethical chiropractor? This is an important question to ask before starting care. There are 100s of techniques and each office has a unique feel. So how do find the right one for you?
An Ethical chiropractor is one who practices using scientific evidence and is patient centered. Many people have had a bad experience with a chiropractor or are scared to go to a chiropractor because of pseudoscience that is spread. If you follow the guidelines set out in this podcast you will never risk a bad experience again.
Where to start?

Get a referral from a friend or family member

Check your insurance, but some chiropractors are using private pay to your benefit.

Check the Doctor’s credentials

Do a little research on what is wrong

Visits the website and do a quick audit, and confirm

Treating only musculoskeletal conditions

Does not emphasize supplement sales

Does not encourage long treatment plans

Does not make unsupported claims of the power of an adjustment or vertebral subluxation

Call a few offices to get a feel

Red Flag Warning Signs to stay away from

Repeat x-rays with no evidence to support its use (i.e. medical condition or injury)

Months of endless care without re-examination

No improvement or even worsening does not result in reexamination or referral elsewhere

Pre-sold treatment "packages"

Pressure to sign up for or attend maintenance or preventive care programs

There will be no guest this week, this is a topic that Dr Mac is passionate about. Making sure patients know how to advocate for themselves.

All through chiropractic school, the message was to help as many people as possible. I am limited by the size of my clinic, the location, and physically how many I can see, but a podcast has nearly unlimited reach. I want to empower people to live healthy, happy lives.
