This conversation was recorded the morning of the Bella Galla (a celebration of 5 years). This week Dede and Abby talk about how the expectation of both good and bad things can impact the way we experience the present moment. Plus Abby shares three tangible things you can do to be healthy in the holiday season.

As we had toward Thanksgiving it good for us to be mindful of the things we are thankful for in our lives. Not only does it feel good to be thankful there are health benefits to gratitude. In this episode we talk about exactly that.

This week we continues to talk about hormones. Estrogen and Progesterone are both essential to our health and work in balance. We talk about how, what happens when they are out of balance, and what we can do about it.

Often when we think of testosterone we think it is only a male hormone. The truth is testosterone is important to women's health as well. This week we talk about how testosterone is integral to women's health. This is a frank conversation and you might not want to be listening to it in the car with the kids around.

In our daily lives we can feel like an impostor. We spend so much time and energy trying to live up to the expectations we believe others expect of us. In addition to feeling like an imposter the stress of trying to live up to these expectations can also have health issues.

This week, we talk about the very real fear of going to a medical office. We share different ways of making it easier and what types of questions you should ask to make sure you are getting the most out of your visit.
