A Whole New You – Details, episodes & analysis

We are in uncharted waters here, and the stress is HIGH! The goal of this episode is to spread some positivity during this pandemic but also to keep it real. It is an extra-long episode, so you may need to listen in chunks. But make sure you follow through to the end where Kim and Laurie give some much needed perspective. Anxiety, food, relationships, devices, exercise, and things to entertain us are all discussed. Even when social distancing, we are all in this together!

Intro

[01:30]  Managing stress and anxiety. (“CALM”)

Celebrate God’s goodness

Ask God for help

Leave your concerns with him

Meditate on good things

[15:45]  Food: Healthy foods to stock up on while in quarantine mode. Some good non-meat protein sources since some stores have been selling out. Sugar is more addictive than cocaine and every time you consume excess sugar, your white blood cells’ ability to ward off this virus is lowered for several hours. 

[28:50]  Reference back to episode #4 Jan 22, 2019 Boosting Immunity.

[29:55]  Relationships: The impact of this quarantine so far in Laurie and Kim’s households and ways you can stay connected yet carve out some alone time.

[42:50]  Devices: The beauty of technology and what that has meant for the children, schools and businesses. Also great to stay in touch with family and friends.  

[52:00]  Exercise: Importance of movement for immunity. Lots of streaming options!  Also GET OUTSIDE!

[58:00]  TV: Recommendations for series to watch and some fun programs, too.

[1:06:10]  Good reads: Book recommendations (self-help, fiction, spiritual) — Some offer really important insight right now on loss and joy. (scribd.com is offering a 30-day free trial to download/read any book… no strings attached.)

[01:18:30]  Podcasts: Some listening recommendations for other shows

[01:20:35]  Ending on a positive note: Laurie’s thoughts on some good things that will come out of this time.

[01:23:35]  Some spiritual guidance from Kim.

This is the first of several episodes in which Kim and Laurie revisit expert guest interviews. Today, conversations with Jessica Procini and Melainie Rogers around emotional eating and eating disorders are recapped. We share our personal and professional perspectives as well as important takeaways. Every human can relate to issues with eating in some form.  

Intro

[03:00]   The roots run deep with emotional/disordered eating. Laurie shares some personal stories.

[09:00]   Kim’s poll results from our audience.

[14:00]   Recap of emotional eating episode. Stuffing down feelings with food. Digesting and moving through emotions. We seek comfort, a serotonin boost, and convenience, but then the guilt and deep-rooted issues surface. The blood sugar spike and crash cycle starts and is hard to pull yourself out of. Kim shares her jelly bean habit while studying in college. SUGAR!

 [24:30]   Eating disorder episode reviewed. Eating disorders vs. disordered eating.  How and why eating disorders occur: Links to anxiety, control issues, and obsessive behaviors. Once body weight drops below a certain level, part of the brain shuts down and it’s hard to reason and pull yourself out of it. First step before trying to make changes in habits is to get back up to a healthy body weight. Sometimes it takes a loved one forcing you into recovery to start to heal.  

[32:00]   The role of social media and its impact on our teenagers. Why the new “body acceptance movement” may be beneficial.

[39:00]   Mental health is of upmost importance! Don’t stress or create fear around food.  

[41:00]   A word about our show partners, Perfect Supplements and Amazon. (Discount code/ links below)

[43:20]   Kids’ relationships with food. Restriction and fear around food.  It’s best to look at what makes you strong and grow vs. certain foods being “bad.” Kids are very good with intuitive eating, and we as adults could actually learn from this and follow their lead.

[48:10]  Our hormones need nutrients and healthy fat in order to function properly.    

[50:00]  The key to everything is intentional eating and listening to our bodies.  “Primary food” is NOT the food on your plate … It is relationships. A very important relationship is the one with yourself. Self-love, self-image, and self-sabotage.

President and Founder of ADVENT, Dr. Madan Kandula, MD takes an iron fist in a velvet glove approach to combat the conventional constructs of a failed heath care system.  Board certified in Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Kandula has been a pioneer in developing new techniques and treatments for nose, sinus, snoring and sleep apnea complaints.  His desire to get to the root of the issue instead of using continuous band-aids is right in-line with the holistic health approach of this podcast.  We loved having his expertise on our show!  

Intro

[01:15]     Dr. Kandula bio.

[03:00]     Dr. Kandula personal struggles with sinus issues.  

[07:00]     Why this country is suffering from an airway crisis. Increased sensitivity in airways mostly due to allergies that are so prevalent today. Also, maybe our environment is too clean?

[12:00]    Information on our show partners Perfect Supplements and Amazon.

[13:50]    The breathing triangle – connection between ears, nose, and throat.

[19:25]    The problems with mouth breathing.  Especially bad for children and they will grow up compromised.  The nose filters the air, and that isn’t happening when you breathe through your mouth.  

[21:15]    Oral posture check-in exercise. 

[23:40]    Sleep apnea- nighttime is the time for healing and rest and when you are literally being strangled multiple times during the night, you live in fight or flight and your body never gets a break.  

[31:00]    How do you to start getting a better night’s sleep? Get the airway anatomy checked and corrected. Let’s get to the root of the problem instead of the continuous band-aids.
