Today we talk with Ryan Lowery about vitamins, Dr. Felicia Stoler about her top three grocery shopping tips, and Rosalie Robinson about words at work.

Ryan Lowery says that multivitamins are the most consumed and produced vitamin on the market, but most are not even doing anything for you. The best way to get your vitamins is through whole foods and well-researched vitamins and supplements.

Dr. Stoler talks about her top three grocery shopping tips which includes knowing how to read labels.

Rosalie Robinson is an HR specialist, she tells us how some words can be inappropriate at work. She answers these questions:

* Is it acceptable to joke about your co-workers?

* Can and should employers try to control these different behaviors through policies?

* What is the impact to the individual?

* What’s the impact to the business?

* What should people do to help cultivate a positive work environment?

Today we talk with Robin Perry Braun about Trauma Bonding. Here is our Q&A:

* What is it?

* This is a physiological, chemical emotional bond that happens during states of heightened emotion, usually some type of abuse or addiction.

Traumatic bonding is “strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other.” 

* What has to be present:

* Imbalance of power or perceived imbalance or created imbalance

* Intermittent- unexpected/unanticipated

* Dissociation

* Denial/Masking truth – changing reality

* What are some examples?

* Stocholm syndrome – this happens when there is a constant release of fear and cortisol in the captive and powerful brain chemicals are released when they don’t kill her or if there is any kindness shown.  It’s the relief and provision.

* Narcissist – devil one minute, savior the next..I will put up with terrible emotional abuse to have five minutes of the hero who adores me.  I get used to feeling bad so the little bit of feeling good meets the need.  But in reality I am so starved and traumatized, I am addicted to the high of both the chaos, the fear/walking on eggshells and the relief I get when you are nice to me and decide to compliment me.

* Abusive parents – disorganized attachment.  This occurs when a parent is abusive one minute and spoils you the next.  You get used to preparing for the beating and learn good coping skills so that the little bit of love you will get when they feel guilty and want to make up for it is worth the beating.  .

* Children “learn” the rules and when they are not consistent – no predictability – this creates an anxiety.  . They will keep pursuing the perpetrator to try to get a desired outcome.  Its like playing the slots

* What is occurring is that our cells get geared to the chemicals that our brain manufactures – we get a charge from it.  So .when there are large and continued doses of adrenalin and other specific peptides which are manufactured when you feel trauma,  Your brain will ruminate over a trauma to get your body to recreate that chemical to feed the cells for the trauma drugs they want.  In the case of parents or narcissistic relationships – this feels like love.

* Victims form parts during abuse and they regress during triggers which feel like passivity and overwhelm and can’t be assertive.  They surrender – the feeling of helplessness gives the abuser the power over the victim, just like the original feeling of a child to a parent who needs that parent to be able to survive.

* Trauma bonded people will overempathize with the abuser – rationalizing the behavior.  By “feeling “ their feelings they can ignore their own and stay in the relationship.

* The vicgtim will also exaggerate the “good” parts of the relationship while minimizing the bad to excuse the abusive behavior.

* Having a history of going through traumas together.  “War buddies” form trauma bonds together so in spite of an abusive relationship often the bond of having suffered together can keep the relationship.  This can be true in families and marriages.

* In the case of sexual abuse, often the perpetrator shows special attention to the victim and does special things for them.  This confusion keeps the victim bonded to the perpetrator.

Today we talk with Dr. Brad Dieter about how exercise affects circulation (and vice versa), and we talk to Dr. Brant Cortright about his amazing book "The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle" and his thoughts on depression and anxiety. We also talk with Shellie Gardner about biking your way to fitness and friendship.

Dr. Dieter tell us the ins and outs of your circulatory system and how everything is connected and affected by what you eat and how much you exercise.

Dr. Brant Cortright talks about the emotional side of neurogenesis and how low rates increase anxiety and depression (and how rates of anxiety and depression have skyrocketed in the last 50

years- 5 to 8 times higher than the 1960's.) Increasing brain health = decreasing anxiety and depression.

Shellie Gardner talks about cities becoming more bike friendly, becoming active with local mayors and council persons to increase bike awareness and getting bike lanes as well as the physical benefits and the social aspects.

Today we talked about the bond between you and your pets, training tips for those on vacation or traveling, as well as how insecticides impact your sleep.

Maura Davies with the SPCA of Texas tells us how cats and dogs can be different when it comes to domestication, and the way that they perceive relationships with humans.

Tina Bernet is one of the best personal trainers in the country. She tells us how to stay fit and active while traveling whether it be for work or pleasure.

Shawn Wells "The World's Greatest Formulator" tells us how common insecticides can affect your sleep quality. These insecticides are in household cockroach sprays and ornamental insecticides. It can be absorbed through the skin, so the potential for exposure is very likely. These compounds have been around since the 50s.

They can affect your sleep because the carbamates block the MT2 receptor, thereby not allowing healthy melatonin action. Without melatonin binding at the MT2 receptor, sleep then becomes highly impaired.

Some side effects are: symptoms of CNS (Central Nervous System) toxicity, while often mild in adults, may be significant in children, and seizures, coma, and death can occur. Encephalopathy, headaches, photophobia, dizziness, and irritability following high-dose exposure have been reported. Slow improvement seems to be the rule, but symptoms can last for years. Case reports suggest that a chronic encephalopathy may result from long-term exposure to low doses of carbamates as well.

This is one of our most important shows ever. We have Kirk Hylan, author of "If Earth Could Speak", a unique road map of actions and steps we must take now to set the table for the survival of our species. The author's strategy for saving the populations on planet Earth revolves around desalination, the process of excreting salt from salt water so it can be used for human consumption. On a mass scale, Hylan believes desalination can cure many of the earth's problems including hunger, drought, soil depletion and more.

Stephanie Toups is teaching us about the negative health effects of Triclosan,  a common ingredient in antibacterial soaps, deodorants, toothpastes, cosmetics, fabrics, toys, and other household products. It's already been banned in a few states, so definitely watch out for this and avoid at all costs!

Registered dietician, Shawn Wells, is here to tell us about the benefits of combining coconut oil and CBD oil.

Q & A with Shawn

* Where does this leave us on saturated fat and coconut oil? Coconut oil is safe and healthy.  It being as “bad” as butter is sort of true…as butter is not “bad”, but actually quite healthy.  Just last year, Time magazine called out the medical doctor base with the landmark story saying 'Butter is Back'.  The fact is that fat was never “bad".  Highly processed foods like the industrial vegetable oils and ultra-processed carbs are high-glycemic and what should be avoided.

* What about the combination of CBD oil and Coconut oil?

Coconut oil improves the bioavailability/uptake of CBD for better value and efficacy.  The benefits of coconut oil paired with the pain reducing, anxiety reducing, mood enhancing, ani-inflammatory benefits of CBD are a win-win, so a potent, healthy combination.  Several groups are currently experimenting with this combination and are reporting tremendous effects online.

* What about CBD? What does it stand for? Where does it come from and what does it do?

It is a compound isolated from cannabis oil called CBD, or Cannabidiol.  Its non-hallucinogenic or psychoactive (“mind-altering”) like THC (tetrahydrocannibidiol), the component of cannabis that gets you high.  CBD is known to reduce pain and potentially treat neuroinflammation, epilepsy, oxidative injury, vomiting, nausea, anxiety and schizophrenia. CBD is just one of at least 60 compounds in marijuana that have different pharmacological effects.
