Join us today on "Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix" as Elix and Steven welcome special guest Chris Setterlund. They'll be talking about how his passion for writing in 2nd grade led to a short career in movies and then grew to him becoming a 7 time published author (soon to be 8!). Chris' newest book "Lady of the Dunes" was written in tandem with the extraordinary documentary we talked about on our last episode of the same name. Listen as Chris talks about how the director of "The Lady of the Dunes" called him about the possibility of writing a book about this Cape Cod murder/mystery and why he was an "automatic yes" to his newest work.

The Next Generation of Wellness with Co-Founder & CEO of Within Health Technologies, Ellyn Ito

So many of us are experiencing a different set of feelings post-pandemic — stress, blunted emotions, spikes in anxiety, depression, and a desire to drastically change something about our lives. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

The pandemic has clearly taken a collective mental health toll. Our brains and bodies are simply fatigued, constantly recalibrating to new circumstances and unknowns. The "return to normal" feels underwhelming.

Beyond exercise, meditation, and a healthy diet, the available first-line therapies for feelings of distress are pharmaceutical drugs, which typically come with multiple side effects.

Ellyn Ito, co-founder and CEO of Within Health Technologies, and her colleagues recognize that the need for safe, medication-free solutions that inspire the body to balance itself has never been more urgent — and she's doing something about it!
