  • Offbeat

    Some of the topics are getting off beat lately(footwear, evolutionary psychology), feels a bit bro culture. And feels a bit weird having a male discuss women’s issues such as menopause. I just get a funny feeling from the podcast lately.

  • Fantastic find

    Jeff really knows this space thoroughly. This is a well curated podcast with interesting guests and important topics. Jeff is a superb host with a soothing voice, but most importantly, he is able to work with his guest in harmony to succinctly deliver the most critical information from subjects that can appear dense.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Waking Up with Sam Harris: Mindfulness, Non-Duality, and the Illusion of the Self
Q: What is the way in the door there?
He explains that mindfulness can be practiced by paying close attention to any present moment experience, whether breath, sound, or sight, without adding beliefs or cultural overlays, and that this approach helps reveal that there is no separate self.
The Menopause Gut: How Hormones Shape Your Microbiome with Cynthia Thurlow
Q: Are there hormonal or pharmacological options that may aid this transition?
HRT can help balance estrogen loss and may be combined with newer therapies like GLP-1s or peptides in some cases, but the choice should be individualized with a menopause-savvy provider, considering risks, benefits, and availability of therapies.
The Menopause Gut: How Hormones Shape Your Microbiome with Cynthia Thurlow
Q: What practical diet changes support gut health in midlife?
Prioritize protein intake (aiming for at least 100 grams per day), emphasize fiber from whole foods (25-30 grams per day minimum, increasing gradually), include fermented foods, and choose unprocessed carbohydrates like root vegetables and low-sugar berries.
Emotional Longevity: Breaking the Overwhelm Loop with Elisha Goldstein
Q: What role does social connection and perspective-shifting play in upward spirals?
Positive social connection and practices like loving-kindness raise vagal tone and broaden perspective, creating a self-reinforcing loop of positive emotion and better health outcomes.
Emotional Longevity: Breaking the Overwhelm Loop with Elisha Goldstein
Q: Can you explain the four Rs and how they actually work in real life?
Recognize interrupts the pattern, Release helps shift physiology, Refocus redirects attention to a healthier action, and Reinforce solidifies the new state through repetition and memory, making it easier to apply in daily moments.
