Regular Guy Friday ep. 142 Expectations vs. Standards?
How allergy tests and biofeedback could hold the answers you need. How you're not being passive aggressive, you're being authentic. How lack of boundaries builds resentment. How simplifying is not about downgrading - it's about refining. How fear affects your pancreas. How expectations affect your happiness. How it's more about having standards than expectations. RGF bonus: the lesson John Candy teaches us in the film, Summer Rental, and how communicating like a nice second-grade teacher yields the best results.

762. Gut Microbiomes and Probiotics In Disease Prevention and Cures w/ Dr. Matthias von Herrath
Hey Heal Squad, in part two of my talk with Dr. Matthias von Herrath, we cover the impact of medications on the body, misconceptions about drugs, what healthcare systems lack, the symbiotic relationship with microbiome and our bodies, the benefits of probiotics and maintaining a balanced gut. This is another great episode for self-healing, self-diagnosis and being the CEO of your own health! The Impact of Medications on the Body: Drugs do not work like remote controls, instantly fixing issues. Instead, drugs are tools for modifying processes in our bodies, each with potential side effects and requiring awareness. Self-Empowerment in Healthcare: Our healthcare system often lacks effective management of medication lists, forcing patients to journal/manage their own data. The Gut Microbiome: The symbiotic relationship between our gut and bodies with over 400,000 microbial entities in our gut that play a crucial role in our immune systems and nutrient absorption. Probiotics and Gut Health: The benefits of probiotics and how they can provide a solid foundation for overall health. Maintaining a Balanced Gut: What we eat directly affects the composition of our gut microbiome. Finding the proper diet tailored to your individual needs and the potential of artificial intelligence to help us personalize our diets for optimal gut health.

761. Mindset Mastery in Diabetes and Disease Prevention w/ Dr. Matthias von Herrath
Hey Heal Squad, in this episode, we dive deep into diabetes. Whether you have it or not, it's a must listen because the odds are you could already be prediabetic as millions walk around undiagnosed. I want to help you prevent it with information I wish I knew that could delay it or prevent it altogether. We are excited to have renowned expert Dr. Matthias von Herrath, a top researcher on this disease, with us to break it down and the new breakthroughs he and his colleagues are working on. I loved this convo and I know you will too! The Importance of Early Detection: for prediabetic individuals and how specific blood markers, such as antibodies, can predict the risk of developing diabetes. Identifying individuals in the prediabetic stage opens the door to prevention and intervention and understanding what exactly is happening so you can make the changes you need from a personally empowered place. Trust me, I wish I knew what we discussed before I got diagnosed with this! Nutrition, Stress, and the Immune System: how processed foods and rapid sugar spikes stress beta cells, potentially triggering autoimmune responses. Friends, when you understand these beta cells better, you will do better, I promise!!! The Role of the Brain and Meditation: the brain influences the immune system and beta cell health and the potential connections between the nervous system, inflammation, and the onset of autoimmune diseases. The Importance of Holistic Healthcare: the significance of understanding the entire patient journey, considering the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and various systems, and advocating for more personalized and comprehensive care.

Covid Guy Friday ep. 141
Regular Guy Friday and Lonely Guy Friday are preempted for this special pilot edition of Covid Guy Friday. In sanitized isolation, we discuss how, when it comes to health, it's all about gathering the data. How allergy tests could reveal more about your health and healing than you think. How biofeedback can do the same. How perfectionism doesn't allow for any kind of process, learning, or development. The real reason the perfectionist can't tolerate imperfection - especially from others. How those who attack are often merely projecting their own shadow. The brighter side of daylight savings time and why November 1st is the holiday season's opening day and how that may be good for everyone.

758. Fashion and Beauty as Tools w/ Bobbie Thomas
Hey Heal Squad, today we come to you from Macy's Herald Square in NYC for part two of my sit down with a longtime friend and source of inspiration as well as a beauty and fashion Today Show icon. She is the one and only Bobbie Thomas. Bobbie, a young widow, discusses the reality-style and fashion play in our lives and psyches and the many reasons why it's such a great, uplifting and empowering tool. Fashion and beauty: tools for us to shine, even what's under the dress! Department store shopping vs. Digital Shopping: a collaborative, rich, communal social experience and event vs. a solo limiting action. Three words to apply when styling: Inviting. Striking. Polished. We are ALL chameleons: styles can reflect different sides for different occasions. Heel talk: when to wear them and why they are magical. Jean talk: All types of jeans are in style today and why that's amazing! Life Partners: it's all about knowing their (and your own) strengths and weaknesses.
