Dr. Matthew Mosquera, Addiction Psychiatrist

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

mercredi 10 juillet 2024 • Durée 49:01

We dive into a comprehensive discussion on mental health, substance use disorders, and the nuances of psychiatric treatment with Dr. Matthew Mosquera, an addiction psychiatrist and the medical director of Alcohol and Drug inpatient treatment at McLean Hospital in Boston. (He also happens to be Elara's brother.) Our conversation spans a wide range of topics, from the personal journey that led Dr. Mosquera into psychiatry, the distinction between various mental health professionals, to the intricacies of treating substance use disorders and the potential of ketamine in psychiatric treatment.

Dr. Mosquera shares insights into his approach to treating patients, emphasizing the importance of understanding the individual reasons behind substance use and the complex relationship between mental health issues like depression and substance use disorders. He highlights the critical role of language and terminology in treating use disorders, advocating for a shift from the stigmatized term "addiction" to "use disorder" to better capture the clinical nuances and reduce stigma. We also ask him about Naloxone (Narcan), and if he believes we should all carry it.

The conversation also touches on the challenges and opportunities in the current mental health landscape, including the impact of social media, the importance of resilience and grit, and the evolving understanding and treatment of ADHD. Dr. Mosquera offers practical advice for maintaining mental health, such as the significance of exercise, sleep, and managing what's within one's control.

Throughout the discussion, Dr. Mosquera provides valuable perspectives on the therapeutic relationship, the process of finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, and the importance of being open to change while being mindful of the limitations and potential side effects of medications like stimulants for ADHD.

Unlocking Your Hidden Energy Healer

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

mercredi 3 juillet 2024 • Durée 59:31

In this episode of The Matcha Guardians Podcast, we talk with Ann Marie Chiasson, a respected figure in the field of integrative medicine and energy healing. Ann Marie shares her unique journey from an energy healer to a medical doctor, emphasizing the seamless blend of conventional medicine with energy healing practices. Her background includes extensive work with Mayan shamanic healers and psychic surgeons, highlighting her deep commitment to exploring alternative healing methods. Ann Marie's expertise is further solidified by her role as the director of the Fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, where she teaches and promotes the integration of energy medicine into medical practices.

Throughout the discussion, Ann Marie elaborates on the concept of energy healing, explaining its foundation in traditional healing traditions and its application in modern medical practices. She discusses the innate ability of individuals to harness and manipulate energy for healing purposes, suggesting that this capability is not exclusive but can be developed with training and practice. Ann Marie also touches on the importance of touch and its physiological and emotional impacts, illustrating how energy healing can complement conventional medical treatments.

We also explore the practical aspects of energy healing, including its application in diagnosing and treating patients. Ann Marie shares personal anecdotes that show the effectiveness of combining energy healing with medical knowledge, offering insights into the potential for a more holistic approach to healthcare. She also addresses the challenges and misconceptions surrounding energy healing, advocating for a broader acceptance and understanding of these practices within the medical community.

And before we let her go, Diana has to ask about "psychic surgery."

What Is a Food Story?

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 1 mai 2024 • Durée 50:23

During the holidays, we sat down with eating psychology and nutrition expert Elise Museles. Her transition from a legal career to focusing on food and wellness was driven by her passion for helping people.

Elise's explains "food stories" - how our relationship with food is shaped over time, influenced by our culture, experiences, and personal narratives. All three of us, just like you, have events in our past that likely influence how we've viewed food, historically.

Since Elara was seven months pregnant during this recording, Elise emphasizes the importance of embracing body changes during pregnancy and avoiding societal pressures around weight gain, including the need for self-acceptance and support from loved ones during such a transformative phase of life.

Elise also touched upon the challenges men face in their food stories. Everyone, regardless of gender, has a unique relationship with food. Her anecdotes and client experiences highlighted the universality of these issues.

There are practical ways to improve one's food story, with Elise advocating for awareness, identifying major themes, and understanding the origins of our food behaviors. This can help change narratives and habits in a compassionate and non-restrictive manner.

Elise shares her personal wellness practices, including her morning routine, nature walks, and matcha ritual, which contribute to her holistic well-being. She stresses the importance of proactive stress management and maintaining a healthy relationship with food.

Finally, Elise shares a significant life lesson taught by her father: the freedom to change one's mind. This advice resonates deeply with our conversation's theme of evolving personal narratives, especially regarding our relationship with food. Elise emphasizes that personal growth involves recognizing that our beliefs and behaviors can change over time, and it's perfectly acceptable to shift our perspectives as we gain new experiences and insights.

We're excited to bring Elise back in a future episodes, to dive deeper into her expertise on matcha.

Elise's Once Upon A Food Story Podcast Episode with Diana and Elara:

All About Dogs with Jodi Andersen

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 24 avril 2024 • Durée 58:50

In our latest episode of The Matcha Guardians Podcast, we delve into the profound connection between humans and dogs. We're thrilled to have Jodi Andersen, a renowned dog behavior expert, joining us. Jodi's journey into dog training began with a childhood love for animals and a pivotal experience with her own dog, which led her to rethink traditional training methods. She emphasizes understanding a dog's signals and the unintended training we often do. Jodi's approach is about creating harmony between a dog's needs and the family's lifestyle.

Jodi's work extends beyond individual training. She co-founded How I Met My Dog, a platform that matches rescue dogs with adopters based on lifestyle and behavior, not just breed. This approach ensures a deeper, more sustainable bond between the dog and its new family. She also co-founded Competibility, focusing on enhancing the relationship between existing dog owners and their pets.

A significant part of our discussion revolves around the right time and way to introduce a dog into a family. Jodi advises against getting a dog solely for children, emphasizing that the responsibility ultimately falls on the parents. She highlights the importance of matching a dog's temperament with the family's lifestyle and the individual personalities within the household. Jodi also touches on the challenges and rewards of introducing a second dog into the home, stressing the importance of energy compatibility over breed or gender. Gender, however, can play a significant role.

We also explore the sensitive topic of a dog's end of life. Jodi offers heartfelt advice on recognizing when it's time to say goodbye, advocating for a compassionate approach that prioritizes the dog's quality of life. She encourages openness to the love of another pet, seeing it as a tribute to the one lost.

The Science of Friendship

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mercredi 17 avril 2024 • Durée 43:02

In our first full podcast, we dive into the science of friendships. Psychologist Robin Dunbar's 2022 book brought to light the Dunbar number - 150, which represents the maximum number of meaningful relationships a person can effectively manage. This concept really resonated with us and formed the core of our conversation.

We break down the layers of the Dunbar number. The closest circle, 1.5 people, includes an individual and their significant other. Then there's a circle of five close friends, who are those you can always count on for emotional support. The next layer comprises 15 good friends, with whom one might socialize regularly or plan vacations. A broader circle of 50 friends includes acquaintances like party guests or wedding attendees. Finally, the widest circle encompasses 150 people, those whom one would invite for significant life events.

Reflecting on our own friendship, we discussed how we've managed to stay connected despite periods of minimal contact. It's fascinating how shared experiences, values, and similar life stages play such a crucial role in sustaining friendships. We also touched upon the challenges adults face in making and maintaining friendships, especially when dealing with geographical distances or significant life changes like marriage or career shifts.

We also spend on the impact of social media on friendships. How do online interactions fit into Dunbar’s model, considering the often superficial nature of these relationships? We highlight the importance of genuine connection and active engagement beyond just digital interactions.

We also discuss "friendship pruning," where individuals might end or drift away from certain friendships that no longer contribute positively to their lives. Ending friendships can be difficult. We should normalize open conversations about the health of friendships.

Towards the end of our episode, we extended a challenge to you, our listeners. Reach out to someone in your life in a meaningful way, beyond just a quick text or a social media interaction. This challenge underlines the importance of genuine connections and active participation in maintaining friendships.

Ancestral Health and Fitness with Jameson Mohammadi

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

mercredi 26 juin 2024 • Durée 58:22

In our latest episode of the Matcha Guardians podcast, we welcome health specialist Jameson Mohammadi.He brings a unique perspective to health and fitness, drawing on his background in anthropology and health science. He runs Black Wolf Training, focusing on educating people about movement, nutrition, and behavior through the lens of human evolution. We can learn from our ancestors regarding health, and these insights can guide our modern lifestyle choices.

The conversation shifts to the impact of parental behavior on children's physical activity levels. Jameson highlights research showing the significant influence active parents have on their children's likelihood to engage in physical activities. This leads us into a broader discussion on the challenges posed by sedentary lifestyles and strategies to incorporate more physical activity into our daily routines.

Jameson also talks about the concept of the "pain cave," a mental state during intense physical exertion, and offers advice on how to push through this discomfort to achieve fitness goals. Furthermore, he critiques modern footwear for not aligning with natural foot anatomy and advocates for shoes that promote a more natural foot function.

For each person's indvidualized fitness plan, it's important for Jameson to ask questions and learn about all aspects of their life - from activity to sleep and more. This is why Crossfit, while beneficial to many, can often lead to injuries. This leads into a discussion about Elara, Diana, and Jameson's favorite and....shall we say overated....exercises. We cover plank, deadbug, walking, biking, and more.

We wrap up the episode by sharing personal lessons on the importance of community and the power of taking a moment to breathe for overall well-being. Throughout the episode, we cover a wide range of topics related to health, fitness, and the impact of lifestyle choices on our physical and mental health, all grounded in Jameson's expertise and experiences.

The Secret to Communicating with Newborns

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

mercredi 19 juin 2024 • Durée 50:30

This week on The Matcha Guardians podcast, we dive into the world of newborn care with Maria Fernanda Etienne, a seasoned newborn specialist with over two decades of experience. Maria shares her journey from a graphic designer to a newborn specialist, driven by her own challenging experiences as a young mother. Her passion for helping new moms navigate the complexities of early motherhood shines through as she discusses her approach to newborn care, emphasizing the importance of learning from each baby and the mutual growth that occurs between her and the families she assists.

Maria introduces a unique technique to calm crying babies, highlighting the need for parents to stay calm and understand that crying is the baby's way of communicating. She stresses the importance of supporting the baby's head and bottom, keeping them at a distance, and using a soothing shush louder than the baby's cries, reminiscent of the womb's environment. This method, she explains, is effective across all babies she works with, underscoring the individuality of each baby and the tailored care they require.

Self-care for parents, especially in the demanding newborn phase, is another critical topic Maria touches on. She shares personal strategies for managing the physical and emotional toll of newborn care, including taking breaks, nourishing the body with food or sleep, and maintaining a positive mindset. Maria's approach to breastfeeding, whether on demand or scheduled, is flexible, advocating for a middle ground based on the baby's needs and the importance of not labeling babies too quickly based on their behavior or milestones.

Maria's advice extends beyond baby care to nurturing the parental relationship, especially the bond between fathers and their newborns. She suggests skin-to-skin contact and involvement in routines as ways for fathers to connect with their babies, emphasizing the importance of giving partners space to develop their own relationship with the child.

The podcast concludes with Maria sharing a life lesson on the detrimental effects of jealousy in relationships and the power of positivity and possibility in overcoming personal and professional challenges. Her mantra of staying positive, even in the face of adversity, resonates as a guiding principle for both parenting and life.

Meet The Founders of Matcha.com - Dr. Andrew Weil and Andre Fasciola

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mercredi 12 juin 2024 • Durée 38:56

In this week's episode of the Matcha Guardians, we're thrilled to have a special conversation with the founders of Matcha.com, Dr. Andrew Weil and Andre Fasciola. We delve into their journey of friendship, business, and the world of Matcha. It's a unique episode for us, especially since Dr. Weil is also Diana's dad.

Our guests share their story, starting from their first meeting at an Easter party in 1999. Their shared interests in Japan, good food, and travel sparked a lasting friendship. Over the years, Andre experimented with various business ventures, from T-shirts to healing salves, learning valuable lessons about the importance of execution over mere ideas.

Dr. Weil's early attempts to introduce Matcha to America in the 90s didn't take off due to poor timing. However, his persistence and Andre's belief in the product eventually led to the successful launch of Matcha.com. The timing, combined with a growing American interest in Matcha and Japanese culture, played a crucial role in their success.

We discuss the challenges of introducing Matcha to a predominantly coffee-drinking culture, including emphasizing the importance of making Matcha accessible and appealing to the American palate. Andre and Dr. Weil adapted their approach, understanding that not everyone enjoys Matcha in its traditional form. This adaptability has been key to their success.

Our conversation also touches on the personal aspects of their journey. Both guests highlight the importance of patience, resilience, and staying true to one's vision, despite facing skepticism and failures. They stress the significance of inner guidance and intuition in navigating the path to success.

As we look to the future, Dr. Weil and Andre are excited about the potential of AI in business and the expansion of Matcha.com, including the idea of a cafe concept to make Matcha more accessible. They also share personal insights on maintaining a work-life balance, the importance of morning routines, and staying grounded in the face of success.

The Hidden Toxins Lurking In Your Household

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mercredi 5 juin 2024 • Durée 50:17

(Note: Recommended product links below. We are not compensated endorsers of any products mentioned.)

Today we dive into the hidden hazards lurking in our households and discuss healthier alternatives. Chemicals are everywhere in our everyday lives, from food and water to clothing and cleaning supplies. Diana brings up the alarming issue of PFAs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in products like period underwear, which, despite being marketed as non-toxic, are found to contain these harmful chemicals.

We then shift our focus to kitchen hazards, discussing the dangers of Teflon cookware and the benefits of alternatives like cast iron and stainless steel. We also touch on the risks associated with plastic cutting boards and Tupperware, emphasizing the importance of choosing safer materials like wood or glass.

Next, we tackle cleaning products, where we stress the need for unscented, natural options over conventional, chemical-laden ones. We share some of our favorite brands and homemade solutions, like vinegar and essential oils, for a healthier home environment.

We also cover a range of other household items, from air fresheners and laundry detergents to printers and carpets, highlighting the hidden dangers they pose and offering safer alternatives. For instance, we discuss natural air fresheners, the benefits of glass Tupperware, and the importance of avoiding microwaving plastics.

As we wrap up, we share our top tips for reducing exposure to harmful chemicals and microplastics, such as choosing loose leaf tea over plastic tea bags, filtering tap water, and opting for unscented products whenever possible. We also recommend some of our favorite brands for personal care and cleaning products that are safer and more environmentally friendly (below).

It's important to be making healthier choices in our daily lives. While we can't eliminate all hazards, we can certainly make smarter, safer choices.
