867. The Brain Happiness Formula w/ Dr. Daniel Amen

Did you know that black and Indigenous birthing people in the U.S. have a higher chance of dying in childbirth than a U.S. soldier has of dying in combat. Yeah. And that is only ONE of the terrifying statistics we learned on today’s show. Maria sat down with Callie Chamberlain, birthing doula and Optum Social Responsibility program leader, to talk about the U.S. maternal health crisis. Callie educated us on the inequality that many minority populations face from the medical system, and also shares how we all can help. This is a really important episode and we hope it was informative and helpful. Please share with anyone you think would benefit.

Maria has cured herself of not one but FOUR medical ailments...3 of which she was told she needed surgery for. She was able to eliminate her thyroid and vocal cord nodules, reverse Type 2 Diabetes and lower her a1c levels, and get rid of her hernia (which is almost impossible). Her doctors were always extremely shocked at her results. Turns out, the solutions weren’t anything crazy, just minor adjustments to her lifestyle and diet. And today, Maria shares her secrets to averting all of these medical issues and teaches you how you can heal yourself, just like she did. If you are suffering from any of these ailments or know someone who is, this episode is a must watch. Share with anyone who you think would benefit. Disclaimer: Maria is not a medical professional, she is simply sharing her experiences. Consult with your doctor before trying her methods to make sure it is right for you.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, it's Friday (aka YOUR day) and time for another edition of RGF. Anyone can be a boss, few people can be leaders.  What is an "Idea Ball" and why you must keep it in the air. Who is a Couch Guy, what is Squid Game, who and what else is trending on TikTok and why should you care. When is your national name day? Why mistakes are necessary to grow and be successful and how the 'fast fail' is something you must master. The upside to helicopter parenting. Kelsey and Kev want to return to their college bars and Pooja wants three different Halloween costumes for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Big dilemmas for our Kweenz but we trust they'll make it through. Stay #Krisp. Bye Betches. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Hey Kweenz, we fooled them again - made it through another week and to another edition of Regular Guy Friday. This one thing prevents you from breakthroughs and transformation. This other thing prevents you from staying young. This one term is no longer hip while this other one is. This question (and this topic) may prove RGF is out of gas: What defines an F-Boy and how does one navigate being an F boy during these challenging times? On that note, we hope you look forward to the 35 episode, complete box set of RGF. Kels and Kev gave it a good run and are both in need of a bender. Bye Betches. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support
