Everything Lifestyle

Everything Lifestyle dives deep into the essence of wellness and how it intertwines with nature, mindfulness, and self-healing. Powered by Pattison Media, in this episode - why we crave sugar and how to manage it, what are nootropics, a look at biohacking and living life a little bit better in your liminal space.

Does sugar run your life?   Do you feel the need for an afternoon pick-me-up?  Dr. Jennie Ding will help us understand blood sugars and how to get on track.  Then Dr. Ding takes us deeper into her journey of being diagnosed with pre-diabetes.

Nootropics are supplements that can improve human thinking, learning, and memory.  Compounding pharmacist Michelle Grey brings some perspective on some of the key supplements that can potentially help keep our brains sharp and improve overall health.

It's the space and time that no one talks about, it's called liminal space. It's not where you've been and it's not where you're going, it's somewhere kind of in the middle.  Unravel this space with Life Unlimited Stephanie Staples 

How and when you eat, sleep monitoring, meditation, and intermittent fasting are examples of biohacking. A term used to describe the movement behind a quest for better biological function to enhance the body’s ability to operate at its highest performance.  Learn a little more about this global movement.

Clinical therapist Claire Maisonneuve speaks to maximizing our brains and becoming more mindful.
