Plus, we unpack other childhood digestion advice: Should you really wait before swimming? Is lying down after eating a bad idea? Should you avoid water while eating?

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into a quiet epidemic: the disappearance of joy from adult life. Between work deadlines, caregiving, and endless responsibilities, many adults find themselves too busy or too tired to engage in the simple pleasures that once lit them up. But what happens when we stop prioritizing joy?

Join us as we explore the powerful science behind joy—not just as a fleeting feeling, but as a vital component of mental and physical health. Learn how regularly engaging in joyful activities can improve sleep, reduce chronic pain, boost immunity, and even enhance emotional resilience.

Because joy isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Tune in and learn how to make space for it again.

In this episode, Leah and her sister Michelle share their experiences doing the intermittent fasting for a week. Even though they are sisters, they approached the intermittent fasting differently.

They talk about how they broke their fast, what was easy, what was difficult, if they lost weight and if they would continue doing it.

We have heard the studies that intermittent fasting can be really great for your health. But does it help with weight loss? What are the health benefits? Is it easy to do it and how many hours are you supposed to do to get maximum benefits? So many questions and we find the answers.
