Rucking burns three times the number of calories as walking, on average. Do I have your attention now? According to today's guest, rucking (walking with weight), will be bigger than running.Emily McCarthy, co-founder and head of community at GORUCK, has a story to tell.

It's Tuesday, but this quick chat is more than just a tidbit! This is an heartwarming story of friendship and heroism with an important call to action!Next week, on September 6 my guest Matt Christopherson will be setting out on the run of a lifetime-- 125 kilometers from Vancouver to Whistler. Why? Because not all heroes wear capes. Krista Temple is a two-time Olympian rower and Silver medalist in the 2012 Women's 8. In March 2024, as Krista went to open a jar of pickles, she broke her arm. This seemingly routine act would later confirm that her breast cancer from 2022 had returned, now in her bones. Upon further private testing Krista was diagnosed with stage four cancer, which included six lesions from her head to her waist.Matt was a childhood friend of Krista's and when he learned of her story, he felt called into action. Listen to the incredible idea he hatched to raise funds for Krista's treatment and raise awareness for the fight of other Olympians who, once they are out of the limelight, can face medical challenges and hardships that leave them with no support or resources.Check out the below links for more info and to donate, and please share this inspiring story with everyone you can!Learn more here: www.project125.caDonate ASAP: www.project125.ca/donate

I'm relieved to share that there are still people in the wellness biz that are more interested in the actual wellness part than sharpening their elbows against the competition. Dr. Jonathan Leary is the visionary Founder and CEO of Remedy Place, a revolutionary Social Wellness Club in New York and Los Angeles (and plans for beyond), at the intersection of design, holistic self-care, and human connection.

A fellow pioneer woman joins me today! And she is f-ing delightful.Emilie Hoyt is the founder and CEO of LATHER, one of the first, if not the first, beauty and personal care companies to focus on clean ingredients and synthetic-free fragrances. Long before the emergence of the "clean beauty" movement, Emilie endured severe migraines, occasionally impairing her vision, and after exhaustive research, she discovered that her personal care products were the likely trigger. One dangerous ingredient stood out among the rest: synthetic fragrance, otherwise known as toxic, petroleum-based compounded chemicals that are permitted to be used in 95% of beauty products. Lather was born in 1999, before the internet, y'all!

Ladies, sit up and take note! That was a posture joke, but Patricia Ladis is not kidding. “No matter what, every woman over 35 should start strength training,” she says, which is not an unfamiliar recommendation to many of us by now, but I loved this chat with her because she really drives home the WHY.

This is one of those conversations that changed me. "The only fact of our life is death," yet we spend most of our time trying to ignore it, instead of developing the tools to embrace it. But don't think for a second that this episode will bum you out or make you feel icky-it's quite the opposite!Alua Arthur is the most prominent death doula in America today. She is seeker, a recovering attorney and the founder of Going with Grace, a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization, where she has helped thousands of people confront this inevitable stage of life. Her TED Talk, “Why thinking about death helps you live a better life” has received 1.5 million views since it aired in July 2023. Alua's work has been featured on CBS’s The Doctors and in Disney’s “Limitless” docu-series with Chris Hemsworth, as well as in Vogue, InStyle, the Los Angeles Times, The Cut, The New Yorker, and the New York Times. Alua’s journey to death work started when her family fled a murderous coup d’etat in Ghana in the ‘80s – a time of chaos and fear that dramatically impacted her life and influenced her restless, peripatetic spirit.  Her new book Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life By Getting Real About The End is a deeply transformative memoir that encourages us to think about how embracing our mortality can help us lead better, more fulfilling lives.WE COVERED:Our cultural obsession with youth and against aging-we shun elderhood and everything it's associated with, i.e. deathWe have a hard time accepting the one true fact of our lives: we are human and we won't be here foreverGetting comfortable with death, it's a privilege to even be able to imagine how we want our death to come.

I'm so happy to share this conversation to shed some light on another tool for your mental wellness toolkit. EMDR is an evidence-based, memory-focused trauma treatment, which Michael Baldwin says saved his life. This revolutionary method can yield significant progress in just a single session, compared to years of talk therapy. Baldwin instigated a collaboration with renowned trauma therapist Deborah Korn, PsyD, on an eye-catching, inspirational book on EMDR, Every Memory Deserves Respect—his way of throwing a lifeline to other trauma survivors. EMDR has become a go-to treatment for PTSD as well as depression and other stress-related disorders.WE COVERED:The scope of trauma, from "little t" to "Big T" and how it can go unrecognized for decades- everything from a bad breakup to physical abuse can create an emotional wound that will eventually need healing The mind is wired to heal emotional trauma in the same way the body is wired to heal us physically, once we have the right tools in placeHow EMDR differs from other types of therapyWhat a typical EMDR session feels likeWho is a good candidate for EMDRRESOURCES:Book and More Info: https://www.everymemorydeservesrespect.comJoin Debbie at the Cape Cod Institute for her course, "EMDR Therapy and the Treatment of Complex PTSD in Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse and Neglect," August 5-9, 2024 in person and online, www.cape.orgNewsletterDebbie and Michael will be attending the EMDRIA Summit in Bellevue, Washington (April 18-20, 2024) as part of a fundraiser for the EMDR Research Foundation.

If medical myths and misinformation get you as fired up as me, then this is a must listen. (And if they don't get you fired up, then maybe you REALLY need to listen...)Did you know that the pain associated with certain menstrual cramps has an equivalence to that of a heart attack?? Yet women have been told to suck it up, "this is just part of being a woman," and get back to work/life/parenting/etc. And due to one flawed study on hormone therapy from decades ago, a generation of women has been robbed of the opportunity to safely alleviate symptoms of hormonal changes. The good news is that today we have a range of options to help combat our suffering.Anne Fulenwider is co-founder and co-CEO of Alloy, a digital health company changing the conversation around menopause. The former editor in chief of Marie Claire magazine, Anne became motivated to make an impact in women’s health after her mother died of a sudden heart attack. She became an entrepreneur in 2020, creating Alloy with Monica Molenaar to deliver expertise, information, and solutions to improve women's post-reproductive health.WE COVERED:How concierge support is changing the way women can manage perimenopause and menopause The difference between synthetic and micronized ProgesteroneAlternatives to traditional hormones exist but they are complicated-herbal interventions can work, but require very high dosages, other hormone solutions are highly unregulated and expensiveVaginal dryness can be debilitating and even pose serious health risks, and it does NOT have to be toleratedWhat happens later?
