Today we talk with Robin Perry Braun about obsessive compulsive disorders.

Here are some questions Robin provides:

*  Presence of obsessions, compulsions, or both:

Obsessions 1. Recurrent and persistent thoughts, urges, or impulses that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and unwanted, and that in most individuals cause marked anxiety or distress.

2.The individual attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, urges, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action (i.e., by performing a compulsion).

Compulsions are 1. Repetitive behaviors

* (e.g., hand washing, ordering, checking) or mental acts (e.g., praying, counting, repeating words silently) that the individual feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rules that must be applied rigidly. Hoarding, eating, gambling, video games, smart phones,

cleaning

*

The behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing anxiety or distress, or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or prevent, or are clearly excessive.

* The obsessions or compulsions are time-consuming (e.g., take more than 1 hour per day) or cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

Causes:

* Brain chemistry – serotonin balance related

* Not processing emotions – dysregulation or inability to feel or process emotions.

* This is an anxiety disorder – therapy, nutrition and supplements can help alleviate symptoms.

Maura Davies, VP of Communications at the North Texas SPCA talks about fall holiday pet treats. Here are some recipes to enjoy this season with your furry friends!

Pumpkin Frozen Yogurt Bites

* You don’t need a pumpkin ice cube tray for these, but they’re so darn cute we highly recommend it!

* Mix 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt, 1⁄2 cup of canned pumpkin puree, and 1⁄4 cup of water. Fill the tray, freeze, and give to your pet to enjoy!

Sweet Potato Chews

* Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.

*    Thoroughly wash a few large sweet potatoes and cut them lengthwise into 1⁄2 inch strips. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake the strips for 3 to 4 hours, depending on preferred crunchiness.

* You and your pup can share these treats – though you might prefer a bit of seasoning on yours!

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting

* You can make all sorts of fall-themed doggie cupcakes and cookies, but what’s the fun without the frosting?

* Blend together 4 oz. of room temperature cream cheese with 3 teaspoons of canned pureed pumpkin until creamy. Use a frosting knife, spatula or piping bag to decorate your dog treats.

Pumpkin

You already know chocolate is bad for pets, but did you know pumpkin is great for both dogs and cats? Here are some facts about pumpkin and pets!

 Canned pureed pumpkin is a great low-calorie treat, but stay away from pumpkin pie filling as it is filled with various spices and lots of sugar.

 Pumpkin contains vitamins A, C, and E as well as alpha carotene (antioxidant), iron, calcium, potassium and lutein (supports healthy skin, eyes & coat).

 Pumpkin has lots of fiber, so it can help your pet with weight control, constipation, diarrhea, and even hairballs!

Today we go through a rundown of Psychology Today's newest issue with Kip Watson. Todays topics include women's libido, photos and social media presence, and depression.

Kip talks about depression and how you may recognize it in others, but are you missing it in yourself?

Depression can look different from one person to the next, we must recognize the signs and symptoms.

We talk about The Big Picture, and how the judgements we make based on people's online photo's may predict how we act towards them in person.

Facial expressions and body posture are big roles in how photos are assessed. "First impressions aren't just transient judgments that we later revise, they are in some ways self-fulfilling prophecies."

We talk about women's libido and the lack of desire in the bedroom.

"The FDA hearing in 2014 was a forum for patients, advocates, and health-care providers to talk about female sexual dysfunction—a condition estimated to affect 10 to 40 percent of adult women and for which there are few effective treatment options. One after another, women described the dimming of their libidos and the anguish it provoked: anxiety at the mere thought of sex, grief over their inability to enjoy what they once did heartily, shame and embarrassment about something so essential having gone awry, disconnection from their bodies, and injury to their relationships."

"Others counter that social, emotional, and environmental factors are precisely what make or break human sexuality—that if a woman can't stop thinking about the household chores or feels unattractive or just can't stand her partner's breath, well, those thoughts and feelings are the very basis of lack of desire."

Today we talk with Dr. Jonny Bowden about his new book "The 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth", we talk with Robin Perry Braun about the power of thoughts, words and intentions in the corporate world, and we talk with Dr. Richard Enander about sleep.

Dr. Jonny Bowden goes into depth in his new book mainly focusing on the farming and raising of animals. Also going into depth between wild cod and farmed raised fish.

"The only thing these diets have in common is that they’re all based on whole foods with minimum processing. Nuts, berries, beans, raw milk, grass-fed meat. Whole, real, unprocessed food is almost always healthy, regardless of how many grams of carbs, protein or fat it contains.

All these healthy diets have in common the fact that they are absent foods with bar codes. They are also extremely low in sugar. In fact, the number of modern or ancient societies known for health and longevity that have consumed a diet high in sugar would be … let’s see … zero.

Truth be told, what you eat probably matters less than how much processing it’s undergone. Real food–whole food with minimal processing–contains a virtual pharmacy of nutrients, phytochemicals, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and healthful fats, and can easily keep you alive and thriving into your 10th decade."

Robin Perry Braun talks about the power of thoughts, intentions, and words in the work place.

1. How can you explain that there is power in our words?

Quantum Physics shows us that words, thoughts and intentions give off energy and that has an effect

* Emotos water and rice experiments

* High Frequency vs low frequency energy positive vs negative

* Case studies of the impact of words

* Equipment can measure

2. What is the effect of negative thoughts, words and intentions on a corporate level

On a corporate level, like attracts like – when we sow negativitiy like hate, disunity, attack, slander, judgement of character, we attract back destruction and negative resultsWhen we sow love, peace, understanding, empathy, we attract good and positive things.

We do the negative on autopilot and we take no responsibility or make any connections to the power it has on our lives but QP proves that we create our own lives by what we attract and it is the law of reciprocity and expansion (what we focus on we give energy to and it expands)

Would you be more careful about your words, thoughts and intentions if you had the belief that they really ma...

Today we talk with Lisa Lyn about managing stress eating, we talk with Shawn Wells about how big business got Brazil hooked on junk food, and we talk with Daniel Tague about subsystems in the body.

Lisa Lyn gives us a few tips on managing stress:

* Get up and move!

Whenever you are feeling stressed, pause and take a break. Focus on your breath. Concentrate on belly breathing rather than breathing from the shoulders.

Here are some questions Shawn Wells answers:

* Is this really true that companies like Nestlé have door to door vendors that walk around poor neighborhoods with carts of junk food…Kit Kats, Puddings, Cereals, and Cakes?Yes. It is sad, but true. This massive conglomerate is in the business of profits and is expanding in to poorer or growing first world and second world countries as growth has slowed in the U.S. and Europe. They are in the business of addiction with sugar and calorie filled, nutrition-deprived foods. Here’s a sad quote when the NYT was interviewing on the young girls that was doing door to door sales: “She gestured to a home along her route and shook her head, recalling how its patriarch, a morbidly obese man, died the previous week. “He ate a piece of cake and died in his sleep,” she said.” Even more sad is the girl that’s being interviewed and doing the sales: “Mrs. De Silva, who herself weighs more than 200 pounds, recently discovered that she had high blood pressure, a condition she acknowledges is probably tied to her weakness for fried chicken and the Coca-Cola she drinks with every meal, breakfast included.”

* This is awful and sad. Describe what Nestlé’s plan is.Sure. While the story takes place in Brazil, it involves the world…praying on those unaware of these foods being unhealthy and addictive, but knowing they are available and affordable. Nestlé’s direct-sales “army”, that goes door to door, in Brazil is part of a broader transformation of the food system that is delivering Western-style processed food and sugary drinks (JUNK FOOD) to the most isolated pockets of Latin America, Africa and Asia. As their growth slows in the wealthiest countries, multinational food companies like Nestlé, PepsiCo and General Mills have been aggressively expanding their presence in developing nations, unleashing a marketing juggernaut that is upending traditional diets from Brazil to Ghana to India. With our SAD (Standard American Diet) making those obese, sick, and disease-ridden off this poor excuse for food and beverage.

* This is CRIMINAL. Lawsuit worthy. It’s upsetting.Yeah, it’s like selling cigarettes to people door to door, that have no idea how harmful or addictive they are. It’s like selling heroine and needles. It’s just garbage and its killing them. High profit, low nutrition, highly addictive sugar-filled empty calories. Getting otherwise healthy people obese and type II diabetes. We’re westernizing the rest of the world in the negative way (not the positives like democracy, technology, etc.). I agree, it is depressing. It is criminal. It is literally killing people in the name of profits.

* What else does the New York Times have to say about this travesty?Check out these quotes: “A New York Times examination of corporate records, epidemiological studies and government reports — as well as interviews with scores of nutritionists and health experts around the world — reveals a sea change in the way food is produced, distributed and advertised across much of the globe. The shift, many public health experts say, is contributing to a new epidemic of diabetes and ...
