As the light shifts and the days grow shorter, many of us feel an unspoken pull to slow down — yet life rarely allows it. In this episode, we explore how the fall season affects our energy, mood, and physiology, and how we can honor our internal rhythm instead of fighting against it. We discuss practical ways to reset your circadian rhythm (even if you're a shift worker or early riser), align your daily rituals with the changing light, and reframe fatigue as wisdom — not weakness. With reflections on the September new moon and its invitation to plant new intentions, we explore how fall becomes a sacred space for letting go, simplifying, and reconnecting with purpose. This episode blends science, soul, and seasonal rhythm — so you can enter this next chapter clear, grounded, and energetically aligned.

In this episode of Love & Life Elevated, we continue our exploration of the microbiome—moving beyond the basics into practical ways to repair, soothe, and support gut health. We take the conversation deeper: how the gut is truly the seat of intuition, how gut signals travel to the brain through the vagus nerve, and how tending to our digestion can awaken inner clarity.

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that influence digestion, stress, and overall health. In this episode of Love & Life Elevated, we unpack what the microbiome is, what happens when it's out of balance, how stress hormones affect the gut, and why most serotonin is actually made in your digestive system. Simple, practical, and science-backed - this is gut health made easy.

To MP3 Converter 2 (amvidia.com)We're celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary — and sharing some of the most powerful lessons we've learned about staying together, keeping love alive, and growing as partners. We also talk about the psychology of "Meno-Divorce" vs. the male midlife crisis, and why midlife is less about crisis and more about a call to consciousness. For us, love has been about stretching — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — and continuing to choose each other every day. Whether you're in a relationship or not/year one or year fifty-one, we hope this episode inspires you to see love not as a destination, but as a living, evolving path.

There's something powerful that happens when we choose to do the hard things—not because we have to, but because we know that's where growth lives. In this episode, we talk about the science and soul of resilience: how doing what's uncomfortable actually rewires our brains, strengthens our relationships, and expands what's possible in our lives.

We're not talking about hustle or burnout—we're talking about conscious courage. The kind that builds self-trust, deepens love, and reminds us that we can do hard things—and come out stronger, more alive, and more connected.

Let's go there. Together.

What if the most powerful medicine for your heart, hormones, and longevity was already inside you?

Oxytocin—often called the "love hormone"—isn't just about romance or bonding. It's a powerful neurochemical that supports emotional resilience, lowers stress, improves heart health, and may even extend your life. In this conversation, we explore how oxytocin connects the science of healing with the soul of connection. You'll learn how to naturally elevate your oxytocin through simple daily practices—touch, trust, purpose, and presence—and why love truly is medicine.

Whether you're focused on healing, healthy aging, or deepening your relationships, this episode offers tools to elevate your life from the inside out.

Self-care isn't soft—it's cellular. In this episode, we break down the real science behind why self-care is not optional. Backed by Harvard studies and lifestyle medicine, this conversation explores how habits like meditation, movement, nutrition, rest, and purpose-driven living can reverse disease, slow aging, and add more than a decade to your life.

We'll explore:

• How meditation impacts your DNA

• Why sleep is your brain's detox system

• What Blue Zones teach us about longevity

• The self-care habits that add 10-12 years to your lifespan

This isn't about fluff—this is about foundation. If you're ready to elevate your love, your energy, and your legacy, this episode is for you.

We've all heard the idea that doing housework is the ultimate foreplay in long-term relationships. But is "choreplay" the secret sauce—or just a well-marketed myth?

In this week's Love & Life Elevated podcast, we dive into the real research behind attraction and libido in long-term love. From the psychology of desire to the neurochemistry of lust, we unpack what keeps intimacy alive beyond the honeymoon phase.

You'll learn:

• Why "doing more chores" doesn't always mean "getting more sex"

• The deeper drivers of sexual connection (novelty, growth, space, and purpose)

• What top experts like Esther Perel and Emily Nagoski want every couple to know

• The real numbers on how often happily married couples have sex

This is about more than sex. It's about presence, evolution, and honoring what it means to love someone deeply—while still wanting them wildly.

Listen in. Share it with your partner. Let's elevate love—together.
