  • 10 Signs of Orthorexia: The Elusive Eating Disorder
    Don't let its lack of classification fool you!  
    Even though Orthorexia does not yet meet criteria for an already established DSM Eating Disorder, it can impact functioning & physical and emotional health and, moreso, it can be either a subtle gateway into other ED's or it can suspend a person on an ED recovery path by keeping them from full recovery with one foot in and one foot out.  Marked by thoughts and behaviors that are disproportionately focused on health, wellness, diet trends and food & body fears. These are often absolute rules or choices with a rigid and black & white framework.  Because those with Orthorexia may not be malnourished, may not be medically fragile, may not be in higher level of care and may not be overtly identified, they are often able to rationalize that they are not disordered.  Some of these rules and ideas for food & wellness on their own may not be harmful practice & may be logical for some but in a rigid setting and in an ED prone brain they are only ok, until they're not ok.  This podcast explores some specific features and behaviors of Orthorexia.

  • Dr. Anne Kubal Shares ED Recovery Insights: "You have to feel the feels & eat the meals."
    "If you lose hope, it's ok. I'm holding it for you until you're ready to take it back." In this episode, this quote is one of many inspiring gifts from Dr. Anne Kubal who boldly brings focus to myths and marvels in the ED recovery journey. Her many years of expertise as a clinical psychologist in higher level of care settings, in private practice and as a clinical director and teacher informs poignant discussion points including autonomy and ethics in ED care, being beautifully infallible and vulnerable in your practice, finding the right fit & options to find a recovery that is real, doing the hard work that sucks and willingness to wade through the sh-- river of recovery. She unabashedly explores using humor, therapeutic eye rolls, protective factors, fairy dust, flexibility and learning to leverage her patients' strong emotions to help them find their own unique recovery."

  • Sex Is a Spectrum: The Biological Limits of the Binary by Agustín Fuentes
    Human biology is far more expansive than the simple categories of female and male

    Being human entails a complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there are also many variations and overlap. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed*. 

    Our conversation explores patterns across animal species, bio-cultural roles and impact, historical perspectives on sex & gender, why men have nipples, how female hyenas are bad a**, where political and social structures can occlude progress & how an honest, science-based foundation is paramount for being curious, learning & talking about the human experience at large.

    Agustín Fuentes is professor of anthropology at Princeton University. His books include Race, Monogamy, and Other Lies They Told You: Busting Myths about Human Nature; The Creative Spark: How Imagination Made Humans Exceptional; and Why We Believe: Evolution and the Human Way of Being.

  • Aging Out of Foster Care: A Beautiful, Tough Story of Trauma & Resilience
    "I have been to hell & back & now it's my time." And now in his inspiring voice!
    Like a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes: The Antonio Levert Story. 

    Antonio Levert has a mission to educate and inspire advocacy for children & young adults in foster & adoptive care.  His story is tough to digest but vital for conveying the gravity of need to protect & support our young people and the people who help them matriculate through life.  Antonio bounced between over 10 placements including an adoptive home, numerous foster care settings, inpatient & residential stays and various levels of county and therapeutic interventions.  He endured interpersonal disruptions, emotional and physical abuse, neglect & a scripted narrative that “he wasn’t good enough to be loved.”  Even through these obstacles, glimmers of his value surfaced – he was a gifted & bright student, kindred & loving, eager, loyal, spiritual, strong willed & driven.  But it would not be an easy path.  At 30, he has evolved into a ‘phoenix rising from the ashes’: a rare & unique success story built on a shaky & sometimes cruel foundation.  He teaches that what you learn to take away from your journey by having faith, addressing mental health, connecting with a community and finding grace and forgiveness will set you free and keep you ‘Rising!'

  • DNA for Healing: Science Provides Answers. Dr. J. Dunn
    “You’re Struggle is Real & Your Genes May Hold the Answer!”
    Dr. J Dunn is an expert in genetics, biochemistry, natural health care, mental health and nutrition. Her experience includes over 36 years as a chiropractor & a practitioner certified in functional medicine.  Dr. Dunn is the originator of Wholistic Kinesiology® and Wholistic Methylation.    
    She is also the founder of a groundbreaking genetic software program, MyHappyGenes, where DNA reports are generated to help individuals find lifestyle and supplemental answers for medical and mental health challenges including depression, anxiety & chronic fatigue syndrome. 
    Dr. Dunn was drawn to find solutions for herself and some patients who did not respond to any conventional interventions or medications.  “It felt like I was missing a piece of the health puzzle.”  A deep dive into biochemistry and genetics. She describes her own experience as one where she finally learned what “happy can feel like.”  
    She currently has a thriving practice in Florida where she lives because she is ‘allergic to bad weather!’
