Pep Talks

Welcome to today’s PEP Talk – Sleep Hygiene – Episode #20.  

Sleep is vital to our health; yet, it is estimated, that 70% of adults report inadequate sleep. In today’s PEP Talk, I explain why we need sleep and I also provide some sleep hygiene tips.  Let’s start the New Year with an emphasis on improving your quality of sleep!  

Also, I wanted to let you know I have moved my office to Historic Downtown Parkville. The new address is 171 English Landing Dr., Suite 235, Parkville, MO 64152. If this is the first you are learning of this move, and you have an upcoming scheduled appointment, you will be getting a call from me, closer to the time of your appointment.

Clearly, breathing is essential to life; did you also know the way in which you breathe can impact the quality of your life? In this month’s PEP Talk, I discuss some rather unique findings from the book Breath:  The New Science of a Lost Art, written by James Nestor.

Welcome to today’s PEP Talk – Divisiveness – Episode #18.    

Due to the election and the pandemic, people are more vulnerable to personalize views that do not align with their own. In today’s PEP Talk, I discuss three psychological roots that I believe are associated with unnecessary judgement, criticism, anger, and defensiveness.

Welcome to today’s PEP Talk – Assigning Meaning – Episode #17.

In today’s PEP Talk I discuss our desire to assign meaning to experiences. We have a tendency to identify incidents as being good or bad. Is it possible, that experiences are neither good nor bad? Is it possible, it is simply your thoughts, about the event, that provides the meaning?

Welcome to today’s PEP Talk – The Disconnection Syndrome – Episode #16.

I am expanding upon our discussion from March’s PEP Talk Podcast, Trickery of the Food Industry – Episode #13, as well the podcast from October 2019, Curiosity versus Fear – Episode #8.  

In this month’s PEP Talk, I describe the Disconnection Syndrome as defined by Drs. David and Austin Perlmutter. I truly believe we are experiencing a disconnection epidemic in our society where divisiveness is at an all-time high. What is so exciting, about what the doctors describe, is our ability to decrease anger and hatred by taking care of our health.
