Send us a text Each month I like to share a movement snack for you to focus on and this month it is going to be about walking. Walking can help to control cortisol, keep blood sugar stable, and is one of the best exercises for tight hips. When you head out for a walk work through different speeds, try different paths and distances, and don't be afraid of the weather as it will bring a different element to your walk. Focus on looking off in the distance to help relax the eye muscles. (listen to Ep 6.2-Relax your Eyes for more information), notice your arm swing when you walk and focus on what is happening behind you as you walk.

Send us a text As the world of adolescent skincare often goes unnoticed, today we crack the code on self-care for teen boys. My enlightening chat with Dr. Sheilagh Maguiness, a pediatric dermatologist and co-founder of Stryke Club, reveals the untold hurdles teen boys face as they navigate the stormy seas of skincare. We're busting myths left and right—from charcoal's real impact on acne to the proper way to wield a razor. It's about time we tailored conversations and routines to the reality of boys' lives, helping them, and their parents, foster confidence through simplicity and clarity in their self-care practices. Skincare doesn't discriminate, and neither should we. That's why this episode also casts a spotlight on the significance of gender-neutral products and the fine print on those 'natural' labels that might do more harm than good to young skin. Ever wondered why your child's skin reacts unexpectedly to that botanically-infused lotion? We've got you covered with personal stories of navigating allergies and the lowdown on ingredients that could trigger them. Plus, for those teens breaking a sweat in sports or life, we share the ins and outs of choosing the right antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory body washes, making sure your child's skin stays as resilient as they are. Lastly, we wrap up with some hard-earned wisdom on managing eczema and acne—the twin peaks of teen skin concerns. Discover the art of rehydrating and shielding skin from the sun, and why starting conversations early about self-care can make all the difference in destigmatizing these routines for boys. And for those moments when over-the-counter just doesn't cut it, Dr. Maguiness and I lay out the roadmap to professional dermatological care. So, whether you're a parent looking to guide your child or a teen ready to take the reins of your skin health, this episode is your ally. We're here to share a laugh, shed some light, and support you through the journey of growing up skin-savvy.

Yogurt recipe: Ingredients: 1 plain Greek yogurt 2 qt. whole milk Instructions: Pour milk into a 6-quart Instant Pot and lock lid. Press the Yogurt setting until it reads “boil”. Remove inner pot and let the milk cool down or cool it in an ice bath to between 90° and 110°, checking frequently with an instant read thermometer. Once milk is 90° to 110°, place Greek yogurt in a medium bowl, then remove about a cup of milk and whisk into yogurt. Whisk yogurt mixture back into Instant Pot until fully incorporated, then lock lid and press the Yogurt setting to Normal for 8 to 12 hours. 12 hours will make a thicker yogurt.

Send us a text I am having Leonora on to speak with us. She is with DTB horizons. And she's actually been on twice before. But it was at the end of the conversation on episode 86. Pause and pivot where she mentioned that she works through hypnosis with people on helping them heal from anxiety, pain and trauma that made me want to have her on again to speak further into this. In April, we were touching on anxiety. And I wanted to make sure that she was able to come on and speak with us on tips to help us through this. If any of you deal with trauma or pain, she can work with you. And this is not hypnosis like you might think of it. So she dives deeper into that as well to kind of explain how she can help you even online work through these past traumas and events that may be creating anxiety and pain in your life. Some of the questions we discuss: -What do you believe the underlying cause of anxiety is? -How do you help people with healing the Trauma in their life? -Do you feel everyone has some underlying trauma they could heal? -How does this trauma show up as anxiety in our lives? -If someone is nervous about hypnosis where could they begin with you?

Send us a text Exercise is a supplement! Just like the vitamins you take, exercise is the supplement to movement. Yes you should exercise, just like you should enjoy your green juice, fruit and vegetable supplements, and omega fish oils but you should also be eating all of those things as well. With exercise if you want to be considered active you shouldn’t just be doing your hour long workout and calling it a day. No this is your supplement to activity. Activity is what you are doing the rest of those 12 hours. Are you moving a lot throughout the day? Do you try to go for walks, stretch your body, get your heart rate up, and move into different positions or are you sitting in the same position throughout the day? It is time we look at exercise as an add on to our daily movement. So how can we get more movement into our day? Start to stack your habits-I talk about this at length all the way back in Episode 2 called Stack your Habits. (provide ideas) Go for quick walks throughout the day, doesn’t need to be far or fast, just work on moving more Stop outsourcing your movement to someone else. Play with your kids, go outside and throw a ball around, play at the playground with them Create movement by changing your position throughout the day. For those of you working moms, its not all lost. Try changing how you sit, rotate and move your hips in your chair, slide your ribs back and forth, all of these things help to move your body into different positions to help keep the joints lubricated and the lymphatic system flowing.

Join us on Raising Healthy Humans podcast as we unpack the ties between convenience and health. Our special guests for this episode are Karin, CEO of Health Yeah, a warrior who fought colon cancer and now is an advocate for gut health, and Courtney, a health coach movement specialist and founder of FormFIT who champions healthier lifestyle choices. Karin kicks off the conversation by sharing her incredible journey from battling colon cancer to becoming an integrative nutrition health coach focused on gut health. She passionately discusses the importance of comprehending our diet, its impact and how it can empower us to prioritize our health. We talk about how convenience impacts our health choices, the silent killers lurking in our diets like MSG, harmful oils, and the overconsumption of sugar. Courtney jumps in with practical tips on how to navigate a world filled with fast food, drive-thrus, and overly processed foods. We share the secret to resisting these convenience temptations - meal prepping, a healthy breakfast, and the magic of pre-chopped veggies. In the latter part of our discussion, we take you through the journey of transitioning to a healthier diet. It's not an overnight shift - we highlight the importance of patience, small changes, and leading by example. Ever wondered about gut health? We talk about that too, and share seven secrets to good gut health. Promoting education and empowering families to make small yet significant changes is our goal, and we believe in the power that lies within each of us to do so. Want to continue the conversation and learn more? Join us in our moms raising healthy humans community on Facebook. Let's raise a healthier generation one meal at a time.
