OMG- stop what you are doing and listen to this podcast. The world is different as we battle the pandemic of COVID-19. Our lives are full of stress, anxiety, discomfort and the unknown. Our mental health is being tested, as are our relationships, finances, businesses, education and future outlook. I am incredibly grateful for the time I spent with health psychologist Kelly McGonigal and I know you will soak in every aspect of this podcast.I first came across Kelly McGonigal watching her TED talk on stress via YouTube. When you have over 20 million views- and a hot topic- it tends to draws people in. I loved her energy and her passion for the topic. Little did I know there was so much more to her, her career and the work she is doing now. Kelly, is a research psychologist, lecturer at Stanford University, and an award-winning science writer. Her scientific research focuses on the mind-body connection, and how to cultivate resilience and compassion. She is the author of the international bestseller “The Wi

There is something to be learned from the stories we see unfolding when we watch shows like "The Bachelor or Bachelorette". Leaving the producers and the most dramatic endings out of this- it’s a breakdown of relationships, communications, sex, jealousy, vulnerability and the list goes on….Rachel and Kyle Wright, founders of the Wright Wellness Center created a hit podcast- "The wright reasons – through the lens of the bachelor franchise". Essentially the Bachelor equivalent of Sports Center- real talk- real analysis – real experts….Rachel, who is a license psychotherapist, marriage councillor, sex educator, speaker and writer started to realize just how much dialogue was lacking when it came to relationships, marriage, communication and the list goes on. As the popularity of the podcast grew- so did the topics. In fact-- in truth-- this quickly moved past the singles and into those in relationships- all relationships navigating sex, intimacy, transformation- all things-everything- not tau

It can come down to your natural light, air quality, commute, greenspace, air pollution, traffic and the list goes on. Your home, has the ability to reinfoce a lifestyle that makes you sick, stressed, alienated and unhappy.The Global Wellness Institute believes that residential real estate is the next frontier that will be radically transformed by the wellness movement. Our homes, communities and surrounding environment directly affect our daily behaviors and lifestyles, and together these determine up to 80–90 percent of our health outcomes.More than just community, our physical home is criitcally important to our levels of dopamine, serotonin, as well as perceptions of beauty and awe. Our modern living environment has created new health risks - sedentary lifestyles, lack of physical activity, poor diet, stress, social isolation and environmental degradation. Our environments favors driving over biking, sitting over walking, riding in elevators over using the stairs, texting over face-to-face conve

Have you ever set boundaries- I mean your own personal boundaries, or do you constantly tell yourself that some things are simply out of your control? You find yourself feeling let down, walked over, taken advantage of or worse silenced. Our emotional and physical systems are tracking our boundaries all the time. The trouble—the reason - as you will learn in Nancy Levin’s book—is that in many cases, our conscious mind is totally unaware we have a boundary, much less that it’s been crossed.Nancy Levin, is a master life coach, radio host and best selling author of five books including her latest “Setting Boundaries will set you Free: The Ultimate Guide To Telling The Truth, Creating Connection and Finding Freedom”. She has coached thousands of people to live their lives on their own terms by making themselves a priority and setting boundaries that stick.Here is something to think about:When we are avoiding external conflict- we are creating more internal conflict. Someons else's response to

Never in a million years did I think I would be mentioning meditation and yoga in the same sentence as to things I practice in my life. I am beyond grateful that I didn't let stubborn and preconceived notions continue to fester and hold me back from things I would eventually learn to love.There are a number of disciplines and ways to practice yoga. I have learned that there are diverse teachings and teachers, studios, mantras, environments and the list goes on. I am excited to introduce you to Tracy Billows, one of the co-founders of Yogatown. When I say, "yoga saved her life", I really am not kidding. Her journey from waking up in a hospital bed after a suicide attempt to making a choice to life her life to the fullest- is truly a story that will inspire you. You will get a mixture of everything in this podcast from Tracy's personal story, to the truth about yoga, the benefits of it's practice, the myths, misconceptions, stereotypes and tips one should know. There are some amazing take-aways a

Burnout isn't just for us middle agers anymore...However, unlike the Baby Boomers and Generation Xer's - this new generation is quicker to ask for help- reflect and pivot. Just ask Mallory Rowan.In this podcast we talk about Mallory's quick rise with a global brand and the physical and emotional toll it took.Mallory refocused, restructured and a rebuilt a business with a different focus: Health & Wellness. She now helps others, especially Millennials and Gen Z's to shift their behaviours and habits even when they face the uphill battle of "success porn" and the influence of social media. I love that we chat about authors and books that are shifting our view on success and the "hustle" and why the "hustle" isn't always what its cracked up to be. We hit on fitness, food, sleep, entrepreneurial life, breaking habits, shifting thought patterns and the list goes on.For more information you can check out Mallory's Website.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at

I am so excited to be tackling this topic and being able to do it with Dr. Andrew Pipe, one of Canada's leading experts on this topic.I have already mentioned to my girlfriends that it's a must listen (especially for anyone with teenage aged kids). Its scary, eye opening and something you need to be be up to date with. Did you know there is an actutal vaping line of clothes desgined to conceal the actual vapes so kids can vape in class? Did you know, last month, the yougest victim to die from vaping related illness was just 15 years old and would you be surprised to know that vaping is harder to quit than smoking?I remember reading a quote by Dr. Andrew Pipe, former chief of the Division of Prevention and Rehabilitation at the University Of Ottawa Heart Institute and a professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa in which he stated. "Vaping is an issue that’s screaming for attention...we’re seeing a public health disaster unfolding in front of our eyes"Dr. Pipe, an Order of Canada recipien

Allergies are one of the most common ailments, causing children to miss school and parents to miss work. Left untreated or unresolved, stuffy noses, itchy skin, and irritated bellies can lead to chronic asthma, eczema, inflammatory bowel disease, and neurological disorders. Fatigue, irritability, body aching, digestive problems, and other vague ailments are typical of allergies. They can also be related to environmental factors, additives, body chemistry, addiction, parasites and childhood illness. Lori Preshing is all too familiar with issues involving allergies and children- to the point of desperate tears in her pantry- so much so, that she became a holistic nutritionist to focus on children with food allergies and finding the right supplementation. She created her business and the website https://www.allergiesandme.ca/ with amazing blogs covering topics like picky eaters, pooping, the immune system and the Nemcheck protocol.

Wim Hof , The man himself, also known as "The Iceman" got his nickname by breaking a number of records related to cold exposure. His feats include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle on his bare feet, and standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes.Here is a little background:Over time, we as humans have developed a different attitude towards nature and we've forgotten about our inner power. This is the ability of our body to adapt to extreme temperature and survive within our natural environment. Because we wear clothes and artificially control the temperatures at home and at work, we've greatly reduced the natural stimulation of our bodies, atrophying the age-old mechanisms related to our survival and basic function. Because these deeper physiological layers are no longer triggered, our bodies are no longer in touch with this inner power.The method itself is based on three princicples…cold therapy, breat

I am hoping that some of you see the topic of this podcast and breathe a sigh of relief that it doesn't affect you. Infertility can be devastating for couples wanting children of their own. I am, however, really excited to bring you the information that could help you, your loved ones and future generations to come. If you know people who are thinking of starting a family, trying to start a family or are struggling already with getting pregnant- please listen and share the content.

It’s an innovative new option for women trying to gain more of an understanding around their reproductive health and be empowered wit

Somewhere in there- there needs to be a Grey Zone, and wellness consultant, coach, trainer, speaker, author and mental health advocate Lydia Di Francesco has this zone well planned out- with room for miscues and missteps.Lydia and I go way back to the CTV Morning live days when she often made her way on to set, with ideas and concepts that allowed people to be creative at home.Not everyone has the luxury to afford gym memberships, personal trainers and wellness coaches to help achieve your health and wellness goals, but I promise you, on this podcast we are try to get as much covered as possible.

It’s a fresh year with new goals and resolutions possibly consist of trying to live a healthier lifestyle and possibly shed a few pounds? However, something tells me you've been here before- you've tried this before- this resolution-  is starting to feel like groundhog day.It probably feels like insanity….A wise man once said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" . It seems old habits, emotions and patterns usually come back into play…And here’s the key….The most important component in the battle with your body is healing the source of your suffering. Successful weight management requires shifting your identity and belief systems...well before diet and exercise.I'm not throwing this out there without providing you some answers. The book is called "Brain Powered Weight Loss" written by Eliza Kingsford. Eliza is described as a mind/body practitioner and nationally recognized weight management expert. She is a leading voice in the burgeoning min

Mental Health- I figured this was as good as a time as any to bring this topic to light with the holidays.We all suffer in our own ways. No one is perfect, we all have our inner battles. There are places of darkness and of light. We seek love and acceptance and we strive to be the best version of ourselves. I am very aware this is easier said than done- but when we have "hope" - we have purpose. The focus for this podcast is on Cognitive Behavior Therapy.In a world that is creating an open dialogue and much more honest discussions about our mental health, therapy seems to be a much more common word used in daily conversations then ever before.Short term, long term therapy, conventional, psychology, phsychiatry…you name it….we are talking about it…or at least I want us talking about it- without the stigma.Joining me here in studio this week is Dr. Sanjay Rao, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Ottawa University and Additional Professor of Psychiatry at Dalhousie University with degrees here in Canada

How many viral videos have had an impact on you?I caught one a couple months ago that made me stop, rewind, and watch again…It was a video of a teenage autistic boy with physically disabilities opting to leave his wheelchair behind and go for a walk. His name is Brandon and the video taken by his trainer garnered over 6.8 millions views on LinkedIn and 150 million combined views on other forms of social media and through news outlets. His trainer, Daniel Stein is the man behind Special Strong. This wasn’t an overnight miracle- it was years of building up to the moment- a well worth investment his parents made- Buy Brandon a new wheelchair or invest in therapy. Special Strong has been instrumental in helping hundreds of clients who live with a variety of conditions which include autism, apspergers, down syndrome, ADD, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, victims of stroke and more.There are techniques and cues Daniel has learned over the years that help connect with his clients. Touch, hand placement, dialogu

Sometimes you can walk into a room of people, and be able to describe the energy in the room. It can feel cold or hostile, or on the other spectrum can feel warm and inviting. Albert Einstein explains that energy cannot be created or destroyed- it can only be changed from one form to another.Here are some of my favorite "quotes" on energy: "Energy is contagious- either you affect people or you infect people"" We become what we think about…energy flows where attention goes"I doubt I would have picked this topic a year ago, but based on my personal experience and the shift I have been making- I am more aware than ever about the power of our energy and focus, and want to share that with you.Energy healer, certified Reiki master, EFT & regression works practitioner and author Diane Lanthier is my guest this week. We will dive deeper into Emotional Freedom Techniques also known as tapping. I will say, with most questions I threw at Diane, EFT continued to be brought back into the discussion.There is

We hit on a topic that goes much deeper than what we see on the surface. We dive into the world of plastic surgery- although I promise you, not from the "House Wives Of Beverly Hills" standpoint. Please don't envision nose jobs, tummy tucks, liposuction, face lifts, and breast augmentations. I truly am not looking to offend- but the reality is, plastic surgeons and their work goes far beyond esthetics and often deeper into health benefits, comfort, reconstruction and improved quality of life. Sometimes, the solution can be found in procedures we hadn’t considered.Dr Trefor Nodwell from The Ottawa Clinic comes to us with a number of degrees, awards and accredited fellowships. He also comes with some interesting and honest outlooks on the background behind the work, as well as how it’s helping certain health conditions one may not have thought of- from burns, to headaches to excessive sweating- there are certain treatments which fall under medial and cosmetic surgery and dermatology.You can find more infor
