| The Power of Self-Remembrance: Aimee Parker on Human Design, Healing, and Living by Your Own Blueprint | 31 Oct 2025 | 01:14:27 | |
This week Liz Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach sit down with Aimee Parker, intuitive guide and Human Design reader, to explore what it truly means to live in alignment with who you are beneath all the “shoulds” and expectations. Aimee introduces listeners to Human Design, a system that blends ancient wisdom and modern science to help us understand how we’re energetically wired to move through the world. Together, they unpack how this framework can become a powerful tool for self-remembrance, decision-making, and healing from the conditioning and trauma that often disconnect us from our authentic selves. From navigating motherhood, caregiving, and burnout to setting boundaries and learning to say no, this conversation offers practical insights for anyone ready to slow down, trust their intuition, and honor their natural rhythm. As Nikki shares her own experiences using Human Design to manage her “yes-person” tendencies, the trio reminds us that self-awareness isn’t about fixing ourselves it’s about remembering who we’ve been all along.

Dr. Sharon Malone is a nationally known expert in women’s health and the New York Times Bestselling author of Grown Woman Talk.

Before joining Alloy, Dr. Malone was a partner at one of the oldest and most successful OB/GYN medical practices in Washington, D.C.

Despite living next door to two hospitals, preventative health care was never a part of her family’s life. As a result, Dr. Malone’s mother would lose her life to colon cancer, diagnosed too late for treatment. This searing life experience has informed how Dr. Malone has chosen to practice medicine and brought focus to the healthcare issues she has chosen to pursue.

| How Digital Addiction Affects Our Brains (with Austin Pearlmutter) | 09 Nov 2021 | 00:58:56 | |
We sit down with Austin Perlmutter to discuss how toxic social media and mindless internet scrolling has become something that our brains have been hardwired to do. While it isn't currently coined "addiction" in our country, the ways that our brains are stimulated based on social media is directly correlated with dopamine rush. It very closely mimics addictive behavior. We have become trained to depend on it for stimulation. How can we break these trends and what can we do to offset the symptoms setting in across the U.S. such as anxiety and depression as a result of overuse? #alzheimers #caregivers #endalzheimers #dementia #alzheimersawareness #endalz #brainhealth #mindwhatmatters #caregiver #alzcaregivers #reneeharmon #itsgonnabealzright To learn more about Mind What Matters or to support our mission head to our website. | |||

| Brain Bites: Best Oils to Cook with to Reduce Risk of Alzheimer's | 09 Mar 2021 | 00:14:47 | |
What are the best oils to cook with? #BrainBites 👩🍳 🧠 ♥️ Did you know that cooking oils such as Vegetable Oil and Sunflower Oil are very unhealthy for our bodies and brain? Due to how they are extracted they cause inflammation which is a cause of Alzheimer's. Look for healthy substitutes like Extra Virgin Olive Oil which has a high enough smoke point for cooking and baking. Cooking extra virgin olive oil at low heat ensures it doesn’t break down the polyphenols in the oil which are super anti-inflammatory and does things like open up our blood vessels. 👩🍳 🧠 #BrainBites is a new recurring segment on the #MindWhatMatters podcast featuring Dr. Annie Fenn that is all about eating for a healthy brain. Dr. Fenn traded in her stethoscope for an apron to start the @brainhealthkitchen and is an expert on how we should eat to prevent Alzheimer’s and keep a healthy mind.

| Negative Thoughts Increase Risk of Alzheimer’s | 02 Mar 2021 | 00:57:43 | |
Did you know the risk of Alzheimer’s increases by 75-98% by holding onto negative thoughts? Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a new book out today called Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess to teach people that managing toxic thoughts can save their life. Dr. Leaf explains that the proteins the make up our brain and memories are damaged by inflammation due to our bodies fighting the harm being caused by negative thoughts which leads to an increased vulnerability to dementia and Alzheimer’s of up to 98%. If you’re not mind managing, everything you do is reactive. Messy mind, messy body, messy life. The good news is this damage is reversible if caught soon enough by cultivating positive thinking.
