  • 79. Reduced Energy Deficiency in People with Dr Kirstin Lauritzen
    Society dictates that we look a certain way to be healthy, active, and desirable. This has created a relationship with food where it can be seen as punishment and cause long-term health effects and harm. Reduced Energy Deficiency in Sport is a component of this unhealthy relationship of restrictive eating, overtraining, or both. This week we drive into what to do to overcome and be the best you.

  • 78. The Power of Food with Melissa Rohlfs
    Food is an integral part of our life, but the media and large-scale companies have made us questions everything we put in our mouth. This has caused food to be labeled as "bad" and other food as "good," but what does it all mean? This week we dive into food and talk about sugar and what we need to know to keep ourselves healthy.

She is committed to empowering women to break free from dieting, emotional eating and self-image issues so they can ditch the diet mentality, and feel empowered in their own skin.

  • 77. Working Though Your Shame with Kyira Wackett
    Shame comes up in many places that we never realized influence us. Shame controls you and makes you avoid activities or say no when you should say yes. This week is about conquering our shame and moving past it.

  • 76. Overcoming Insomnia with Lana Walsh
    Why do we sleep? Nearly every living creature on the planet sleeps in some way, but why. Scientists have pondered this question for thousands of years, and an official scientific certainty has yet to be reached. That point, however, is moot. The fact is we need to sleep. Lack of sleep for prolonged periods can lead to numerous health issues, even death. And even though it is one of the most essential things we do, it is not so simple for many people. Join us in this episode as we explore issues related to difficulty sleeping and some ways to help combat that pesky villain, insomnia.

    "Lana Walsh is a Sleep Coach who helps people overcome insomnia so that they wake up feeling rested and refreshed and ready to take on the day. Lana found out she had restless leg syndrome (RLS) as a teenager but did not get treatment for over a decade. This led to developing insomnia. For 30 years, she struggled to find the answer, trying “literally everything” without relief. When she was introduced to emotional freedom techniques (EFT, AKA tapping), she started on the path to recovery.

    Tapping helped to reduce Lana’s stress and anxiety which allowed her to sleep better and get off prescription sleeping pills. Determined to continue this path, she began researching sleep where she finally found the answer to fixing her insomnia. She is passionate about sharing the secrets to overcoming insomnia and helping people get the same results that have transformed her life. She is a registered CBT-i coach and Conscious EFT Level 1-2 practitioner."

  • 73. The Ups and Down of Healing with Dr. Carly Hudson
    Whether it be sick or illness the question always asked is how long? When can I get back to ______ ? We want an easy answer and a straight line, but it is hardly ever the case. Five people with the same diagnosis can all have different experiences of healing. Today we talk about how recovery is far from a straight line.

    Patreon Link - https://www.patreon.com/macp_podcast

    Dr. Carly Hudson, D.C. attended University of the Western States and is a successful chiropractor who has been in practice for over six years. With additional certifications in massage, yoga, and exercise therapy, she helps hundreds of patients recover from injuries, illness, and chronic pain.

    Dr. Carly speaks of important philosophical shifts in self care, including what it takes to move from a focus on disease management to true health care and the practical things we can do for ourselves instead of the constant search for the silver bullet.

    As an infant, Dr. Carly suffered a life-threatening illness. She was left with “invisible handicaps” including balance disorders, muscle spasticity, and hearing loss. She had to begin again to learn how her body worked and so began her path of life-long learning and healing. With the gift of this injury, Dr. Carly has spent her life exploring how deliberate self care impacts our mind, body, and spirit.

  • 72. Providing Health Everywhere: Who is on the sideline? with Dr Mac
    March is Athletic Trainer Awareness Month, and their slogan this year is providing health everywhere. ATCs are the backbone of sports that keep adults and youth safe. They are rarely thanked for the hard work they put in and often aren't anyone's "friend" on the team because they have to keep one goal in mind, safety.
