    When the Struggle with Stress, Brain Fog, and Overwhelm Becomes Your New Reality with Dennis Wong B.Sc. (Pharm.), FAARFM, CCN, ABAAHP, IFMCP

    Today, I had an enlightening conversation with Dennis Wong, a functional and integrative registered pharmacist, about the various manifestations of stress on a physiological, emotional, and mental level. We combined his expertise in pharmacy (the science) with my observations of stress in my therapy room (psychology).
    In essence, stress presents itself in physical and emotional signs, and it is crucial for us to heed these signals from our bodies on a daily basis, empowering us to take control of our well-being.
    Dennis is a seasoned Metabolic, Nutritional, and Functional Medicine Consultant Pharmacist committed to guiding individuals on their journey to optimal health and wellness. He leverages an in-depth understanding of the underlying causes of health issues, combining nutritional guidance and lifestyle enhancements to devise personalized solutions.

He earned the distinction of Diplomate with the American Board of Anti-Aging Health Practitioners. Further expanding his expertise, he became a Certified Clinical Nutritionist in 2008 and was recognized as an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner in 2015. Dennis offers comprehensive strategies to empower individuals to achieve sustained health improvements through these prestigious certifications and his innovative approach.

    Episode #126: Clearing Up Some Of The Myths Surrounding Nutrition With Michelle Shapiro

    Episode #126: Clearing Up Some Of The Myths Surrounding Nutrition With Michelle Shapiro

    If you have never worked with a functional integrative dietician before to combat your ills, perhaps consider doing so. In today’s episode, Michelle and I discussed just some of the misguided information playing on various media channels, so you don’t need to continue to guess. We spoke about how stress plays a massive role in combating disease and made the argument it is not only one lifestyle factor playing a role in chronic illness; it is diet, exercise, social circles, sleep, environmental toxins, and possibly most importantly, stress.
    Michelle Shapiro is an Integrative/ Functional Registered Dietitian in NYC who has helped over 1000+ clients reverse their anxiety, heal long-standing gut and immune issues, and lovingly approach their weight. Michelle has a virtual private practice of 5 nutritionists where she and her team work one-on-one. She hosts the Quiet the Diet Podcast, where she helps her audience bridge the gap between body positivity and functional nutrition.

    Solo Episode - A Brief Summary of the Gottman’s Latest Book ‘Fight Right’: The Importance of Creating a Personal Vision for Yourself And Your Relationship

    Solo Episode - A Brief Summary of the Gottman’s Latest Book ‘Fight Right’: The Importance of Creating a Personal Vision for Yourself And Your Relationship

    In today’s solo episode, I explained how maintaining a personal vision is imperative to ridding oneself of guilt, staying true to one's values, and likely circumventing a possible identity crisis down the road.
    I also spend a fair bit of time discussing John and Julie Gottman’s latest book Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection,and the excellent job they did reminding couples that attuning and attending to their partner’s needs or ask, rather than planning their next comeback response in their heads, is the key to lasting relationships.
    Finally, I shared my viewof why most couples are holding on for dear life right now, which is incongruent with Gottman’s current perspective.

    The Psychology Behind Making a Sale: Why Thinking Too Much May Be Your Worst Enemy with Benjamin Brown

    The Psychology Behind Making a Sale: Why Thinking Too Much May Be Your Worst Enemy with Benjamin Brown

    If you do not think you are interested in selling or have no need to ‘sell,’ think again. We all sell something daily. Selling is more than just closing deals; it's about understanding the psychological factors that drive consumer/partner/child behavior and mastering the art of fulfilling the interested party’s deeper needs. Once you understand that it is a skill like any other, it becomes easy.
    Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Benjamin Brown. Mr. Brown is a sales expert, author, and father of two young children. When it comes to sales, he’s done it all! From stock brokerage style cold calling to car salesman, to gym memberships, to medical devices-he can sell anything. Benjamin has 20 years’ worth of experience and created a 10-step process to help get more clients and MORE SALES.
