What the Health

The Juicy Bits:

To be a grown-up, we're taught to bury feelings. But meditation and spirituality help bring them out again.
We all have distractions, especially tech. Find a little time each day to tune in.
4 pillars of well-being: whole-foods plant-based diet, exercise, meditation or prayer, sleep
6 reasons to go vegan: environment, health, social justice, pandemics, animals, world hunger!
Voting with your dollar is your most important vote.
We're indoctrinated into violence, and we're tribal people who need community. But we no longer need to fear being cast out and sent to our death if we disagree.
Judgment doesn't reach anyone. Lead with compassion.
Every religion's teaching of compassion is aligned with veganism.
When what we say is out of alignment with what we do, WE SUFFER - Dr. Sailesh Rao
Thomas's favorite foods: pb&j, coffee, pastas, stir-fries, salads, smoothies, fruit, and Blaze Pizza

The Juicy Bits:

Being vegan means not consciously harming anything when we eat.
A varied whole foods plant-based diet is good for the gut microbiome.
Animals are sentient beings, meaning they have feelings and experience pain and longing for mothers.
Pasture-raised and family farm animals go to the same slaughterhouses as all other animals.
If you go plant-based for health and don't get the desired results, you may not stay the course. Having the ethics keep you in the movement.
Children have compassion and express pain and sadness. Society beats our natural instinct for compassion right out of us.
Action is the antidote to depression.
Cheryl's favorite foods: General Tso's tofu from Purple Carrot, nuts, and water with lemon.

⁠Andrew's facebook⁠

The Juicy Bits:

The end of factory farming is more likely than the end of farming animals in general for food.
Factory farming is a method of farming, and it is also a set of laws, policies, and economic structures that enable a certain kind of farming.
Since the Cold War, the USDA privatized industrial meat production for economic and political gain.
People do not want antibiotics, drugs, chemicals, and contamination in their food.
Humanewashing is like greenwashing, the use of marketing by companies to give the public the impression that their products align with your values.
Because most people don't want meat, dairy, and eggs with drugs in them, there are layers of humanewashing: unregulated terms like all natural, humanely-raised, sustainable, cage free, and pasture raised; and unregulated certifications like certified human and animal welfare certified.
The food industry doesn't do testing for antibiotics, because they don't want to know if they're there. If they know, then they'll have to solve the problem, and that's expensive.
Andrew's favorite foods: cauliflower shwarma, Beyond Beef steak tips

100 - legendary news anchor Liz Brunner teaches intentional transformation

⭐️Get the ⁠newsletter⁠

Chuck Carroll is host of the Physicians Committee’s popular “The Exam Room” podcast and known widely as The Weight Loss Champion, a name given to him by an NFL player for losing an incredible 275 pounds.

At just 5 feet 6 inches tall, Chuck weighed 420 pounds and had a 66-inch waist before radically changing his life.

Before that, like so many others, he tried and failed countless times to lose weight. Any success he achieved was short-lived as the weight came pouring back on and then some. At his heaviest, he was eating 10,000 calories every day.

Out of desperation, he decided to have weight loss surgery in 2009. Prior to the procedure he was convinced that it would become like all the other failed attempts to lose weight. Chuck was just 27 years old at the time and didn’t believe he would live to see 30. He thought at least he would go to his grave saying he tried everything.

But then the unexpected happened. He woke up from the surgery and never looked back.

Although a critical component, the procedure proved only to be the first step in his journey. In fact, he only attributes 10 percent of his long-term weight loss success to it. The rest he credits to a plant-based diet and changing his lifestyle!

By adopting a plant-based diet, he is no longer afraid of regaining the weight as he had so many times before — no more yo-yo dieting! He is thrilled that he is lowering his risk of cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease, both of which run rampant in his family. As a bonus, he is no longer spending massive amounts of money on medical expenses because of his optimum health!

The confidence he gained from the weight loss enabled him to pursue his dream of becoming a reporter where he covered sports and news for CBS and later NBC News Radio. He was also previously featured in PCRM’s Teaming Up 4 Health campaign where he had the opportunity to speak on Capitol Hill and share his remarkable journey.

Now he is delighted to be bringing his passion and talents to the Physicians Committee as host of The Exam Room and to show others that the impossible is possible — you can get healthy!

Chuck's substack

The Exam Room podcast

Chuck's Instagram

The Juicy Bits:

Fear is a powerful motivator.
One Nacho Theory - you can't have just one. Junk food is addictive.
Dieting isn't fun. Keep it simple. Protein is important, but fiber is more important. Eat a wide variety of plants and you'll get all the nutrients you need.
You can struggle and still perform at a high level. Don't let sickness or setback get in the way of living.
Plaque buildup can be reversed!
Plant-based eating is not extreme. You can recreate all your favorite recipes in a new way.
You will actually taste food and love it, and you won't be plagued with crazy cravings.
Start small by replacing one meal per day with a plant-based one. Then, after a week, replace a second. Then by the third week, replace the third.
Chuck's favorite foods: black coffee, Blue Zone and Plantstrong meals, popcorn, baked sweet potato with steamed broccoli and black beans and hot sauce, hummus!

Liz's Notes from the Sidelines:

Everyone can have the IT FACTOR - energy and charisma - through intentional transformation. It's aligning physical, mental, and relational selves.
65% of your communication comes from nonverbal behaviors.
The relationship you have with yourself is the relationship you're going to have with everybody else.
We have a choice everyday to transform or stay the same.
Neuroplasticity is the ability we all have to rewire the brain and CHANGE.
3/4 of the population will experience imposter syndrome and/or limiting beliefs at some point.
We know more than we think we do and have to trust our intuition.
There is no right or wrong way to journal. Check out my interview on the Journal with Jenny podcast about my journaling practice.
Failure is only the enemy if you don't learn the lesson.
We end up where we're supposed to be.
We should always stay curious and want to learn and grow.
The habits that got you to where you are and your success may not be what gets you to where you want to be tomorrow. Check out my part 1 interview the Dr. Jenn Simmons about the environment that got you sick.
Life is too short not to continue to explore and offer your gifts and talents.

Wool and silk are not environmentally friendly. Do your research.
You can look good in a lot of things, but if you don't feel great, then you won't wear them.

Bottom line can't drive a business. It's people first.

Fashion is about authentic self-expression.

Frederique's Notes from the Sidelines:

Moments on tv and images in ads and online are created and curated. They are not real.
In life, there are moments where you will be at the top of your game, and others where you won't be.
Own yourself, especially as you age. Be comfortable with yourself and be proud of yourself.
Lessons from her daughter: be present with each other without tech, say sorry, let go of control, and have empathy.
You can't always see where things are going to lead, so just be present, curious, and dare to take risks.
Find causes that matter to you and give.
Talking and listening to each other is key to living a full life. Community.
Let's think about how we can do better and preserve resources. Reuse.
Compliment people.
Don't pretend everything is all good when it's not. Reach out to a friend and ask for help.

Melanie's Notes from the Sidelines:

The way we dress ourselves is an extension of our identity. We send a message out about how we see ourselves.
When we're not feeling good, we can use clothes as armor, to hide, to pretend we're someone else, and to prove something. My body is wrong and clothes are supposed to fix me.
We were taught different isn't good. Belonging means having the same things. A lot of the issues grown women have with clothes stem from childhood.
When you determine your values, clothing isn't about being vain... it's helping you be you.
There's no such thing as a trend. It's a selling strategy.

Kate's Notes from the Sidelines:

Secret hack to getting a job is offer to do anything! Show your value.
If there's something else you could be doing that would find most fulfilling, do it. If you aren't getting a f*ck yes, then it's a f*ck no.
To chase passions take courage. That doesn't mean you won't feel fear. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Don't think in terms of failure. Think of it as contrast. And learn from the contrast.
As long as you have the right gear, you'll be ok in the cold weather.
Get yourself some good, true friends who will see your messy and love you anyway.
Personal tragedy can lead to pivoting and reinvention. Sometimes the hardest thing is actually the best thing.
The quickest way to get over something is to go through it.
To deal with hardship: surround yourself with good people, borrow other people's belief in you, and do the work. Ask yourself, "Why am I so glad this is happening in exactly this way at exactly this time?"
95% of success in business is subconscious thoughts and beliefs.
To the extent you believe you'll be successful, you will be. We hold ourselves back more than we realize.

93 - Lorraine Hightower turns pain to purpose for neurodiverse kids

Jen Sattler is a midlife unfiltered mama navigating the M word (menopause) and empty nest life, using fashion, beauty, health & humor to get through it all.

Jen's Notes from the Sidelines:

Social media offers people the opportunity to talk about uncomfortable things, or at least observe conversations and listen to others.
It's important to connect and talk, not hide or think things are taboo. It's how we learn.
Empty nesthood and kids getting older naturally changes your life, because you're no longer working around their schedules.
You can go on youtube and learn just about anything!
Stop overthinking and just start something..
There are so many things at your fingertips. If you're not doing something, it's your fault.
It's important to have confidence in yourself and not care what everyone thinks.
We live in a culture of following masses.
It's hard not to get influenced when we see messages over and over again.
We live in a world where people have no filter and they're hiding behind a screen. Know that people will comment even without all the facts.
With maturity and age comes the confidence to speak up. When you know better, you do better.
In midlife, it's important to surround yourself with good friends, and learn to be comfortable in your own skin. If you're happy doing what you're doing, it doesn't matter what other people think.
For nervous system regulation, go for a walk, sit outside and read, craft something, or rant on stories.
Don't say, "I could never."

Combining professional expertise with her personal journey as a parent, she transforms the lives of children with dyslexia by creating personalized educational plans that help them learn and thrive.Her advocacy has shaped state policy - securing mandated teacher training on dyslexia in Virginia - and earned her the “Child Advocate of the Year” award from the Virginia state PTA. Recently, she received the “Cypress Leadership Award” from The Siena School for her instrumental work in securing vital support for children with dyslexia. Featured in Dystinct magazine and a frequent guest on national podcasts, Lorraine and her team provide hands-on advocacy, parent training, and consultation for families nationwide.She holds a Certificate in Special Education Advocacy from William & Mary Law School, is a trained mediator, has been a state leader for “Decoding Dyslexia Virginia,” a past board member of the Virginia International Dyslexia Association, and is a professional member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA). Lorraine is a fierce advocate for individuals with dyslexia, as she relentlessly champions structured literacy interventions, effective accommodations, and the opportunities every child needs to succeed in school and in life.Lorraine's Notes from the Sidelines:

Moms know deep down when something isn't right.
You could do everything right and still have a child with needs.
The special ed process is lengthy and often met with challenge and condescension. It's not that they teachers don't want to help; it's often that they don't have the proper training.
2-4 kids in every classroom are dyslexic. Literacy is a national crisis.
Anytime something hard happens, we go through the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance). The 6th stage is advocacy, because you want to help others avoid your pain.
When you get baseline assessment results from school, take initiative to have a conversation with the school.
Educational advocacy is unregulated, so do your homework to find the right advocate.
Waiting is never the answer.
Get emotional behind the scenes, not at a school meeting.
We do what we believe is best, so give yourself grace.

We're not spending enough time talking to ourselves and asking what worked, what didn't, and now what?
To figure out what you want to do, just go and trust that the universe will unfold. Listen to Trinette's interview to hear more on this idea.
A great wealth plan includes anticipating health challenges, so that when they happen, you're well-protected.
Women should take equal responsibility in finances, because women make 85% of buying decision, and they're making more money than ever.
Everybody needs a trusted advisor for both health and wealth.

DR. JENN IS A BREAST SURGEON, INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGIST, AUTHOR, PODCAST HOST, AND FOUNDER OF PERFEQTION IMAGING. Dr. Jenn Simmons is a pioneering force in the world of breast cancer care. Once a renowned breast cancer surgeon, Dr. Jenn transformed her practice after her own journey as a patient, becoming an integrative oncologist with a mission to revolutionize breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and screening. DR. JENN is the author of the best-selling book, "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer," hailed as a must-read for anyone navigating this challenging journey. As the host of the insightful podcast "KEEPING ABREAST WITH DR. JENN," she shares her expertise and passion for holistic health. Dr. Jenn's Notes from the Sidelines:

If you have a diagnosis, small things matter. If you try to change everything at once, it'll be a disaster. Every day, be a little better.
What you eat, and when you eat, matters. Sleep is when detoxification happens. Your body can't do it if it's busy digesting food.
How you handle stress, talk to yourself, and tell yourself stories matter.
Sometimes, we have to amputate. There is more to toxins than chemicals. Recognize them and eliminate them.
Health is a journey. You never arrive.
When faced with challenges, tell yourself G-d loves you and wouldn't but these things in front of you if he didn't think you couldn't handle them.
Try an app to restrict social media usage.
The only way to fix a bad habit is to replace it with a better one. Crowd out, instead of cut out.
You need to be an educated consumer because social media is filled with quackery. Bad advice is being given by well-intentioned people.
Nonprofit does not equal non-sponsored. Nonprofit organizations are an arm of industry.
The food pyramid is a disaster. It should be designed with what's necessary to sustain us and optimize functioning. It's not.
Hospitals get rated and funded by good cafeteria food. If they served healthy food, patients won't need to return to the hospital, and that's bad for business.

89 - Brittany Brown demystifies binge eating and all-or-nothing mentality

Dr. Jenn's Notes from the Sidelines:

1/3 or more of breast cancer is created unnecessarily by the way we screen. Mammograms are radiation, and repeated radiation causes cancer.
1 in 5 women will have cancerous changes in the breasts, but 1 in 5 women will not die of breast cancer. The vast majority of women with a diagnosis don't die of breast cancer.
We are a diagnosis-treat society. More diagnoses = more treatment, but the same number of deaths are happening year after year. We have created an epidemic of disease without improving the quality of life... in fact, we've diminished the quality.
In conventional medicine, we're focused on symptoms. And what you focus on grows. The system doesn't want you healthy, because then there's no role for them.
Instead of focusing on a tumor, ask why the cancer is there to begin with. What do you have that you don't need and what do you need that you don't have.
Breast cancer, or any cancer, is a normal response to an abnormal environment.
You can't get healthy in the same environment where you got sick.
If you're not sleeping, you're not repairing and healing.
Medical school doesn't teach critical thinking. It's fall in line or else, follow the rules or be labeled a quack.
We need the foundational things: good food, drink, movement, good thoughts, sleep, detox.
It's not whether you fall down, it's if you get up. You can't get up unless you give your body what it needs. We are built to heal and be healthy, but you have to give the body what it needs and take away what it doesn't.
Big Pharma makes drugs that make us live longer... but we are not living BETTER.
Bioidentical hormones are not talked about, because if you are on them, then you probably don't need the other 10-15 meds you're on.

Brittany Brown is the Founder of Beating Binge Eating, a safe haven where thousands of women have transformed their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and food. After turning her own struggles with weight and binge and emotional eating around, Brittany set out on a mission to create a world where women own their worth, have it easy with food, and walk through the world fueled up by freedom, bliss, and joy in a body they feel confident in. She believes that when women feel at peace with themselves and at home in their body, anything is possible and the ripple effect is unstoppable. With her passion and 12+ years of training, schooling, and experience, Brittany now has the honor of leading over 100,000 Food Freedom Fighters internationally to live a life they love instead of living as a slave to diets, weight, and food struggles as a Speaker, Influencer, and Master Coach.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iambrittanybrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/brittanyb.tvYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/brittanybrowntvTwitter: https://twitter.com/brittanybtv www.instagram.comBrittany's Notes from the Sidesline:

Binge eating does not mean fat, lazy, and lacking control. Binge eaters are often people who struggle with perfectionism, control, and body image.
Restrictive, conventional dieting can be the gateway to bigger problems of on-track-off-track mentality and guilt and shame.
Everything we're worried about in life registers to our nervous system as life or death. We need to create safety and peace within.
To deal with stress, Brittany recommends: nourishment, movement, vibration plate, legs up the wall, breathing
Even if you're in a meeting, you can do things to regulate your nervous system: deep breaths, 4-7-8 breathing, environmental spot check
If there's something you're passionate about, you have to pour into it
There's no accomplishment that feels good when you're health is suffering.
You never know what's coming... our struggles lead to beautiful growth and opportunity.

Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation

Dr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human-centred problems. This rapidly disconnected world is leaving so many of us overwhelmed, lonely, and burned out. Dr. Jody boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; however, so many of us these days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good.Dr. Jody’s work often involves understanding just how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together, and maybe most importantly, how we collectively do "the work" to find our way back home again when (not if) we lose our way. Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences.

Jody's Notes from the Sidelines:

Turning 50 can make you question everything!
Historically, everyone has always wanted to keep the facade of having it all together. But with social media, we've never had this much access to comparison.
We don't have enough time to defend ourselves if we put anything other than perfection out there.
When we get out of our heads and bodies, and tune in to the millions of opinions in the universe, we lose access to the best parts of ourselves.
If you are emotionally dysregulated, it doesn't matter how much healthy stuff you do, it's a waste of time. We are not designed to take in the amount of noise we do, so we spend most of our times hyperaroused... in fight or flight... survival mode.
We need to get deliberate about spending quality time with others, without the distraction of tech, because we are just not that good.
Drop your shoulders, drop your tongue, wiggle your toes. It tells the body you are safe and allows access to generations of wisdom held within.
We are neurobiologically wired for connection.
Try 5 minutes of stillness per day.
If we're not good at emotional regulation, we're probably also not good at apologizing. But we can get better at both.
Burnout isn't a function of the work you do; it's a reflection of your capacity, or lack thereof, to refuel.
Social media isn't social. You see what aligns with your values and not the other millions of opinions out there.
Don't try to address stress when you're in the middle of it.
Be kind and don't tolerate BS.
