Memorable Quotes
"Weight loss and fat loss are two separate things. Weight loss is just a number changing on the scale. You went from 150 to 135. Fat loss is the loss of body fat because five pounds of fat and five pounds of muscle weigh the same, but five pounds of fat takes up a lot more space on the body, so it's more voluminous, it's less dense than muscle." – Betty Murray
"The other thing that I think is really important is we have to look at when you do things hormonally that radically change these hunger hormones like glucagon and ghrelin. What we often see is patterns of eating that are now what we would call disordered." – Betty Murray

Sleep is a fundamental aspect of our lives that often goes overlooked or undervalued. Many people believe that the key to a good night's sleep lies in external solutions, such as melatonin pills, sleep mattresses, or herbal supplements. However, what we fail to realize is that sleep is not a random occurrence; it is a carefully orchestrated process controlled by the laws of physics and influenced by the cues we receive from our environment.
In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Roudy Nassif, a renowned Engineer, Health Entrepreneur, Light Expert, and Founder of VivaRays, where we delved deep into the fascinating world of sleep and energy, discussing practical tips and strategies that can transform your life.
Roudy's knowledge and expertise are truly remarkable. He has a unique ability to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible to everyone, even a three-year-old! We explored the impact of light on our sleep patterns, the importance of blocking artificial light at night, and how these factors can significantly improve our overall well-being.
But that's not all! We also touched on the topic of menopause and women's hormones, diving into the technical aspects while keeping it simple and relatable. If you're experiencing menopause or want to understand it better, this episode is a must-listen.
One of the highlights of our conversation was Roudy's personal journey with his mother. By introducing her to the power of blocking artificial light at night, he witnessed a profound transformation in her life. She regained her sleep, and with it, her energy, drive, and motivation. It's truly inspiring to see how a simple change can have such a profound impact.
We encourage you to tune in to this episode and discover the incredible insights Roudy has to offer. Whether you're struggling with sleep issues, seeking ways to boost your energy levels, or simply curious about optimizing your well-being, you'll find valuable takeaways in this conversation.

Memorable Quotes
"The quality of the sleep that we get and how rested and energized we feel when we wake up the following morning is controlled by laws of physics. And the main force that control how well we sleep and how rested we feel when we wake up is the circadian force." – Roudy Nassif
"The problem is when we wake up and we blast blue light in our face from the phone or from an LED bulb, the bulb has a spike of blue light at 455 nanometers that is not balanced and proportionate with orange and red light. And this is where blue light becomes inflammatory." – Roudy Nassif

Stress and trauma are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct differences in terms of their effects on the body and mind. Stress is a common phenomenon that most people experience in their daily lives. On the other hand, trauma is a more severe and long-lasting response to a distressing or life-threatening event. Unlike stress, trauma is not a normal response to everyday challenges, and it can have a profound impact on a person's mental and physical well-being.
Today's guest, Dr. Aimie Apigian, a Double Board-Certified Physician in Preventative and Addiction Medicine, brings so much clarity to the table and argues that understanding the distinction between stress and trauma response is crucial for properly addressing and managing these experiences. She sheds light on the aspects of our bodies and minds that often go unnoticed but play a significant role in shaping our lives and helps us distinguish the unconscious forces that drive our actions and feelings, empowering us to gain clarity and control over our experiences.
Dr. Aimie's expertise lies in recognizing and addressing unresolved trauma, both big and small, that may be stored within us. She shares invaluable insights on the three essential ingredients required to heal trauma in our biology, body, and psyche. She doesn't just stop at theory; she provides practical steps to help us navigate the healing process. From understanding the biology of trauma to taking action towards healing, she equips us with the tools necessary to embark on our own personal journeys of growth and transformation.
If you're ready to peel back the layers, uncover your true passions, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and embark on a transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery, this episode is a must-listen.

Embracing flaws and finding our true selves is a powerful journey that many of us embark on as we navigate through life. In this episode, our guest, Kristina Mand-Lakhiani, Co-Founder of Mindvalley, a powerful life Transformation Coach, and the Author of the book "Becoming Flawsome," shares her insights on this topic.
The journey of embracing flaws and finding our true selves is a deeply personal one. It requires self-reflection, self-acceptance, and the willingness to let go of societal expectations. By embracing our flaws and living authentically, we can experience a greater sense of fulfillment and happiness in our lives. Kristina emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with ourselves and living authentically. She encourages listeners to let go of perfectionism and embrace their flaws, as it is through these imperfections that we find our true selves.
Kristina also talks about the power of embracing our unique talents and passions. She discusses the harmful habit of comparing ourselves to others, and how we can instead focus on our own multi-talents and explores the importance of harnessing our physical and mental health during the season of menopause, and how to uncover our true desires and live life with purpose.
Tune in as we discuss harnessing physical and mental health, exploring passions, and creating a fulfilling life during the menopause season.

Memorable Quotes
"Sometimes, you know, humor is the best way to deal with life's adversities. And if we are talking a little bit more seriously than according to classical psychology, humor is one of the mature coping strategies if you face adversity in life." – Kristina Mand-Lakhiani
"We are so fascinated with the idea that we have a talent that we are sometimes forgetting that we are multi-talented. And this was another key to the puzzle because it is not your particular talent that makes you the best in the world. It's a combination of your unique talents that makes you so valuable because the combination is what is unique, not the facet by facet." - Kristina Mand-Lakhiani

As women go through menopause, their bodies undergo significant changes that can impact their health and wellbeing. One of the most important factors during this time is ensuring that they are getting enough protein in their diet. In this episode of the Menopause Mastery, Dr. Amie Hornaman also known as the "thyroid fixer," a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in thyroid and hormone imbalances, joins host Betty Murray to discuss the importance of protein for muscle metabolism, insulin sensitivity, hair health, and energy.
Dr. Hornaman notes that protein is one of the most misunderstood macros in the diet and there are many misconceptions around protein sources and supplementation. Women, in particular, tend to under-eat protein, which can lead to hair loss, muscle loss, a slower metabolism, and a lack of energy. She emphasizes the importance of getting enough high-quality protein from both animal and vegetarian sources, and finding the right balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats to support insulin sensitivity.
As we age, our bodies become less efficient at utilizing protein, so it's important to pay attention to our individual needs and adjust our diets accordingly. By prioritizing protein intake and making other lifestyle changes, women can improve their health, wellbeing, and quality of life during menopause and beyond.
Key Takeaways:
00:03:20 Misunderstanding of protein and its sources
00:04:15 Under-eating protein among women
00:08:10 Importance of protein for weight, metabolism, and muscle

With her unique blend of breathwork, holistic health practices, and transformational coaching, Jen has helped countless people transform their lives for the better.
In this episode of Menopause Mastery, Jen discusses the importance of proper breathing and its impact on overall well-being. She explains that improper breathing can lead to anxiety, stress, and hormonal imbalances. To address these issues, she shares different breathing techniques that can help reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and restore hormonal balance.
Jen encourages individuals to explore various styles of breathwork and find an instructor or coach with whom they resonate. The ultimate goal is to retrain daily habitual breathing patterns, as a majority of people (90%) breathe incorrectly, which directly affects their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Breathwork is seen as an effective method to release trapped emotions that may contribute to physical imbalances.
Moreover, Jen highlights that breathwork can offer similar benefits to psychedelic therapy without the need for substances. This makes it a suitable option for individuals who may not be interested in psychedelic therapy or are taking medications that are contraindicated for such treatments. Additionally, she mentions that breathwork is a spiritual practice that allows individuals to experience a sense of oneness and love, regardless of their religious beliefs or lack thereof.
