Gary’s Top Quotes:

“Love grounds you. It orients you. Love brings your awareness to others and yourself. Love opens your mind and heart to others and yourself. Love settles you and gives you balance.”

“Religions cannot change you. If you are angry, you will become an angry Muslim or Hindu. If you are righteous, you will become a righteous Christian or Jew.”

“The hardest times to choose love are the very times when you can most grow spiritually. In fact, they are the only times you can grow spiritually!”

“Your life is yours to live, no matter how you choose to live it. When you do not think about how you intend to live it, it lives you. When you occupy it, step into it consciously, you live it.”

“A responsible choice is a choice that creates consequences that you are willing to assume responsibility for.”

Episode Summary:

Have you ever heard of peptides or pellets? If yes, you will enjoy this episode. If you no, then this is the opportunity to listen and learn more from Matthew Moody, which will be helpful to you either way.

Taking the natural approach to health requires that we begin by recognizing the body has the ability to make its own peptides. They are short protein chains of amino acids.

Peptides serve your body's most important and necessary processes, such as digestion, how your body uses energy from the food you eat, helps indicate how hungry you feel, how your hormones work, and cell movement. Peptide hormones and neuropeptides are the fundamental signaling molecules that mediate cell-cell communication.

Pellets have become an innovative custom-compounded therapy used for symptoms that are generated from a hormone imbalance. On this episode of YOUNGER you will learn the importance of top-quality sources certain healthcare practitioners use which can significantly help a patient save money and more importantly, provide the best, efficient outcome for the patient.

Listen and learn from Matthew. Let Dr. Robyn help you find out if these therapies are a good option for you to live an improved, and vital life of regenerative.

Episode Summary:

Obviously, your skin provides the physical barrier to protect what is inside of your body.  It also helps to regulate your temperature and act as a route for elimination for fluids like sweat and oils.  This is why good lifestyle with disciplines in a self-care practice should be taken seriously.

Our skin IS ruled by our hormones and is covered in small glands called sebaceous glands. They secrete an oil called sebum that helps lubricate your skin and keep it healthy. Within these glands are receptors that respond to hormones, and react according to factors like hormone levels.

“There are millions of products out on the market that claims to “fix” your skin issues, but we encourage you to stop chasing the hype and get back to basics when it comes to treating your skin.”

In this next YOUNGER podcast episode, I will discuss the basics of how to maintain good health through your skin.  There are many factors to consider, such as age, diet, exercise, sleep, and stress. Listen as I am inclusive in the opportunity for all to understand its powerful connection to living a youthful and regenerative life.

Stress and Acne: https://www.wellandgood.com/good-looks/does-cortisol-cause-acne/

Quotes:

“Too much cortisol can result in acne and thinning skin. Low levels of cortisol can result in changes in skin color and pigmentation.”

“It’s very common women might experience acne alongside their monthly menstrual cycle due to their estrogen levels dropping!”

“In the skin, estrogens affect the thickness, wrinkle formation, and moisture levels. Estrogens can also increase glycosaminoglycans such as Hyaluronic Acid, to maintain fluid balance and structural integrity.”

“Testosterone is the hormone responsible for coarser hair and thicker, oily skin. This hormone is heavily involved in sebum production, and too much can cause acne, clogged pores, and other blemishes.”

Key Takeaway Qs to Answer:
 Do you find yourself feeling unfulfilled? Unworthy?
 Did you check all the boxes and built a life, a career, a family but
still, have an empty feeling as if something is missing?
 Why is soul work important in this day and age?
 Are our listeners bound to still have bad days from time to time
even after finishing the lessons in the book? How do they go about
changing that?
 How did you identify the categories for reclaiming your soul and
breaking them up into six weeks?

Episode Summary:
From an early age we’re taught that in order to be worthy, to find true
happiness, to be “somebody,” we have to accomplish many things. We
become achievement machines, always grasping for the next big win to
send a signal to the world—and to ourselves—that we’ve “made it.”
That we are happy.

But do we ever “make it,” really? Are we truly happy not in the
“#livingmybestlife” and “#blessed” way in which we caption our social

media pages, but from a truly contented place of inner peace and joy?
One where the yearning for the bigger house, the better job, the
younger, more pliable spouse takes a backseat to the yearnings of our
hearts and souls, a place where contentment just “is”?

Episode Summary: 

When forming deep, intimate relationships with a partner, it’s important to feel safe sharing our deepest dreams, desires, fears, past histories, traumas, and goals for the future.  

Interdependence requires some degree of being dependent upon one another wherein each partner influences the other meaningfully, frequently, and vastly. 

Genuine, selfless care is another hallmark of healthy intimate relationships, while trust is the confidence that we place in a partner to act in a way that will not cause us purposeful harm. Trust is a top characteristic when most people are asked to define what they want in a partner, and for good reason!

Episode Summary: 

Think about it, our bones support the body structurally, protect our vital organs, and allow us to move. To add to the importance of our bone structure for the body, they provide an environment for bone marrow, where blood cells are created, and they act as a storage area for minerals, particularly calcium. 

At birth, we have around 270 soft bones and as we grow, some fuse together leaving the adult human body with 206 bones, 26 of which are in each foot and 54 in each hand and wrist. 

In general, our bones stop growing in length during puberty. Bone density and strength are known to change over the course of life.

Episode Summary: 

Understanding Anxiety 

Anxiety, according to Oxford Dictionaries, is defined as, “a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.” 

Everyone experiences this at some point. In fact, anxiety is a somewhat normal reaction to stress as it can initiate our flight or fight response and keep us alert to our surroundings. However, it is important to learn the difference between feelings of anxiety and a true anxiety disorder. 

There are several different anxiety disorders, and they all have defining characteristics that make their diagnoses possible. On my next YOUNGER podcast episode, I will help you distinguish key factors that relate to anxiety, such as: 

• Intensity and length of time 
• Impairment
• Physical manifestations

I will discuss a variety of anxiety disorders and define what makes each different from one another. You might be learning more about anxiety for the first time for personal self-awareness, or maybe to help your child, a family member or a friend. 

I explain the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) categories of anxiety disorders and how they are listed in three groupings: 

1. Anxiety Disorders
2. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
3. Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders

There are many different recognized anxiety disorders that all vary in severity. Just remember, these are very serious conditions for those who suffer from them. 

“Anxiety is a complicated topic due to its complexity. This information is important for all of us to feel supported, safe, and aware of the many aspects of this subject.”

Quotes: 

“Anxiety manifests in a number of ways depending on both the disorder and the person experiencing it.” 

“A chronic state of worry can affect a person’s ability to maintain a healthy social life, employment, and fulfilling life.” 

“If you, or someone you know, is struggling with anxiety, it is important to know you or they are not alone. There is a whole army of people learning how to deal with this challenge and understand how to put their anxiety in proper perspective.”
