  • Great info but

    The information and research you have is amazing, but you really should consider cleaning up your language. It is offensive to me and is the reason I am no longer listening to the podcast and why I won’t purchase the book.

  • Volume issues

    I really enjoy the info Paul provides but dang if the intro and outro don’t bust my ear drums with how much louder they are over the actual podcast. Seems like an easy fix to an annoying problem.

  • Life Changing

    The Hardiness podcast with Paul and Carly and their guests has been transformative for me in the past year. I’m late to the show and now a curious devotee.

    And I highly recommend Paul’s book: The Hardiness Effect. Easily digestible content that really reinforces the lessons learned on the podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hidden Impact of Stress and Environmental Toxins on Your Hormones and Aging
Q: How should clinicians approach hormone therapy given the variability in symptoms and labs?
Treat symptomatically and holistically rather than chasing lab numbers alone; consider the entire hormonal milieu (thyroid, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, DHEA) and use a personalized protocol, often starting with testosterone in men and balancing with thyroid and other hormones as needed.
The Hidden Impact of Stress and Environmental Toxins on Your Hormones and Aging
Q: What are the main drivers of poor hormonal status in modern developed nations?
Chronic stress, poor sleep, ultra-processed diets, and pervasive environmental toxins drive cortisol elevation and endocrine disruption, which together undermine testosterone, estrogen balance, and overall hormonal health.
Understanding Your True Identity with Dr Jeremy Thompson
Q: What practical tools can listeners use to cultivate a clearer sense of self?
Techniques like Nikon Reflection to explore give-and-take in relationships, and focusing on the positive-centered model to separate negatives from the core self.
Understanding Your True Identity with Dr Jeremy Thompson
Q: How do early experiences influence identity and later mental health?
Early trauma and upbringing can alter brain development and self-concept; understanding and reframing these experiences helps reveal the true self and enables healthier coping and behavior.
Understanding Your True Identity with Dr Jeremy Thompson
Q: What did you find you weren't prepared for from your training when you got into real-world practice?
The complexity of human psychology in the daily clinical setting, where stress, family dynamics, and real-life traumas interact with medical symptoms, which requires seeing the whole person beyond a single diagnosis.
