Just Dumb Enough Podcast

The topic of eating disorders can make people really uncomfortable. It's not something that sees much attention, and according to my expert, it might be so well hidden for a number of reasons, including: shame, trendy diets, an injury, or just because the person engaged in the bad habits doesn't realize they have a problem.

My guest today is Jessica Setnick. Jessica is a dietician with over 25 years of experience, who also regularly consults with other health professionals on a global scale to ensure better education. She's here today to discuss the various and numerous eating disorders, and the impact it has on your life long term.

For now, Let's make sure our diets aren't harming us.

That's it for today! I'll see you all back here on Thursday to learn more about working dogs!

The men and women who serve in the military, for whatever country they might belong to, are an exceptional type of people. The very nature of the job means acknowledging there are people you'll likely never know who want you dead. That's pretty extreme, and yet there's an experience that is just as challenging when they finish their term of service.

My guest today is Natalie Shand-Spellman. Coach Nat, as she likes to be called, is a retired United States Marine. She's here to talk about her time in the military, the lack of transition coming out of her service, feeling broken and left without identity, how she found her way through, and what civilians don't seen going on. She now helps veterans find their place in everyday society once the mission is over. 

Let's recognize our veterans.

I'd like to think that if I were wrongfully arrested for a crime, I'd also be found innocent by a thorough justice system. But my expert today shows that is not always the case, by sharing a truly one sided story of corruption in our courts that stripped the freedoms of an innocent woman..

My guest today is Jean Adam. Jean is a film maker and justice advocate, recently releasing his documentary "Finding Betty" on multiple streaming platforms. His movie walks through the case of Betty Wilson, an Alabama woman wrongfully convicted of murder back in 1992 and still incarcerated to this day. It shows the usage of fake evidence, unreliable witnesses, and other grossly inhumane practices, all to ensure that this woman spends the rest of her life behind bars for outdated racism as well as sheer laziness.

In 1992 Betty and her twin sister Peggy are arrested for conspiracy to commit murder. A man, James White, confessed to the murder saying that he was hired and assisted in the crime by the sisters. The sisters are immediately taken into custody, shipped to different counties for separate trials, and Betty is held in solitary confinement for over 9 months awaiting trial. Keep in mind the current guidelines for major prisons with convicted offenders is 15 days! Anything beyond that is acknowledge to have lasting effects on a persons mental and physical health. And she was exposed to this for most of a year while waiting for a trial that has no evidence connecting either sister to this man in a meaningful way. No eye witnesses, no money trial, no DNA, no fibers or even blood stains. 

Let's get into that True Crime category!

We've all wanted to restart something at some point. I'm into a situation myself where I wish had a do over button, and could make entirely different decisions that would alter my life path drastically. But there is no magic button to press. Instead what we can do is make a new start. Scrap the old chapters and just start a new book about our life from this moment on.

My guest today is Hilary DeCesare. Hilary is the founder and CEO of the Relaunch Co, which is exactly what it sounds like: A company specializing in helping people re-launch a new life for themselves on a big or small scale. She's here today to share how we can make any moment better by tuning into our internal radio.

Let's prep that launch pad!

That's it for this week! Have a great weekend! Enjoy yourself and I'll see you all back here on Monday!

It feels like it's been a while since I've covered anything in the weirder categories on the show. So today my expert is walking us through how you investigate a haunted location!

My guest today is Jason Hassler. Jason is the Director of Big River Paranormal, with it's home right here in Oregon near me. His team responds to requests from concerned home owners and curious businesses, all in the name of quality investigation. Sometimes there's a perfectly reasonable explanation behind the experience, and sometimes... you've got a genuine haunting.

Let's hunt ghosts!

The only concierge I knew of before this interview was the kind you'd have at a nice hotel. Turns out there are also direct to patient doctors, who tailor their office and styles to fit your unique care and needs.

My guest today is Dr. Robin Hall. Robin is the now retired founder of a concierge medical practice with over 30 years of total practice. The big draw in these practices is to get away from only going to the doctor when you're sick, instead going regularly: receiving education and real time adjustments based on how things are going with you.

Let's see if personalized doctors fit our lifestyles

All I have to say is "Carpal Tunnel" and people will start rubbing their wrists and hands. It's become a nightmare that most of us live in fear of developing. But it's not a definite outcome. You can actively avoid it with as little as one minute per day.

My guest today is Dr. Terry Zachary. Our fine doctor started as a sports chiropractor and has spent his fair share of time as a professional golfer as well. He's here to discuss the mechanics of our hands in an honestly simple way.

You'll know more in the first five minutes of this interview than most people know about their own hands. Not to mention you'll learn solid tips to keep you from developing these repetitive grip injuries that we are all prone to.

Let's keep our hands from breaking down!

I know I call myself dumb, but I didn't think I was going to be completely blindsided by meditation. You sit, close your eyes, and think about just breathing, right? It seems pretty easy as a concept. But apparently I'm wrong. And not just a little wrong, but grossly incorrect. It can be done with your eyes open, with a sound or phrase, and even while walking.

My guest today is Shai Tubali. Shai is a Meditation Teacher, Yogi, and Psychosocial Method Developer. He's here today to help us better understand the wide world of meditation, how anyone can do it, and the benefits it can bring to your life.

With over twenty years in practice, and a new book covering the 35 different meditation practices from around the world, I think Shai is the perfect guest to help us all understand.

Let's find our deeper self in the here and now.

I'm not very supportive of myself. My expert today tells us that's not unusual, but it still feels bad. Luckily we're also going to learn ways to fix this shortcoming.

My guest today is Julie Potiker (MindfulMethodsForLife.Com). Julie is a mindful self compassion coach, meditation coach, and author among other things. She's here to share with everyone easy ways to get out of your funk and find a kinder version of yourself.

Let's not play pretend here; with power comes an abuse of that power. It doesn't need to be gambling on human suffering for personal profit, it can be as simple as suggesting you should be seated first or get a discount just because you have a specific job. If you've earned respect, those things might just happen. But as my expert today explains, asking for that special treatment may not be simply immoral, but actually illegal.

My guest today is Debbie Peterson. Debbie was the first directly elected, female mayor of Grover Beach, California, and is the author of "The Happiest Corruption: Sleaze, Lies, and Suicide". The title alone should hook you enough to listen to this episode if nothing else.
