    Julie Delpy 's New Netflix/Canal Plus Series "On The Verge"

    Julie Delpy 's New Netflix/Canal Plus Series "On The Verge"

    Actress, writer, director Julie Delpy has made a career creating films that are both brutally honest and poignantly hilarious. They can feel, disarming, personal, relatable, and get under your skin in the way that great art should. 
    In her latest venture, the 12-episode streaming series "On The Verge", Delpy takes on the complex, overlooked demographic of the middle-aged woman. No stones left unturned here: marriage, divorce, motherhood, friendship, career, passion, loss of passion - it's all tackled with authentic transparency and whip-smart humor.
    Today we chat about why it is so vital that these stories are represented on the small screen, her prolific creative process, her childhood in Paris, what's next for the "Before" trilogy, her passions outside of the business, and what's next on her plate. 
    If you haven't streamed "On The Verge", it's a must-see - there is nothing like it on TV. Audiences everywhere are crossing their fingers for Season 2 - so please rate, review and share! 
    *We recorded this episode while doing an IG live and fielding questions from listeners in real-time, which was pretty cool and I think we will do more like this.

    The Hidden Dangers Of Sugar With Dr. Michael Goran

    The Hidden Dangers Of Sugar With Dr. Michael Goran

    Dr. Michael Goran, Ph.D., professor of pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and co-director of the USC Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute, is here to talk about his new book, SUGARPROOF: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child’s Health at Risk and What You Can Do (Avery/Penguin Random House).
    Sugarproof busts myths about the various types of sugars and sweeteners, helps families identify sneaky sources of sugar in their diets, and suggests realistic, family-based solutions to reduce sugar consumption and protect kids.

    “Sugarproof” isn’t about quitting sugar entirely, it’s about becoming a smart consumer, identifying and replacing hidden sugars while reducing reliance on sweet foods & drinks as daily staples by transitioning from processed foods (70% of which contain added sugars) to a more whole foods-based diet. Sugarproof encourages families to take on a life-changing 7-Day No Added Sugar Challenge or a 28 Day gradual sugar reduction. Learning how to sugar-proof your life is an empowering journey for the whole family designed to bring sugar consumption to a reasonable level.

    Brain Bio-Hacking For Covid Long Haulers With Dr. Kristen Willeumier

    Brain Bio-Hacking For Covid Long Haulers With Dr. Kristen Willeumier

    A recent report found that 1/3 of COVID survivors  have neurological issues - stutters, strokes, anxiety, etc. Researchers suggest this lingering damage could cause an international mental health crisis that lasts long after the pandemic ends. 

    Leading neuroscientist Dr. Kristen Willeumier, author of the new book, BioHack Your Brain: How to Boost Cognitive Health, Performance & Power, has studied thousands of brain scans and her book is the FIRST ONE to outline a strategy for Covid longhaulers. An expert on brain health, Dr. Willeumier discusses the causes for these neurological problems and offer tactics to minimize long-term damage.  

    For those longhaulers who continue to experience prolonged COVID symptoms months after infection and for those who haven’t had COVID, Dr. Willeumier’s dietary and lifestyle modifications have been proven to rehabilitate the brain and improve cognitive functioning.

    Logged In and Stressed Out: How Social Media is Affecting Your Mental Health Author Dr. Paula Durlofsky

    Logged In and Stressed Out: How Social Media is Affecting Your Mental Health Author Dr. Paula Durlofsky

    Instead of demonizing social media by taking a one-note, “digital detox” approach, clinical psychologist, author of social media expert Dr. Paula Durlofsky, a member of the American Psychological Association's Device Management and Digital Intelligence committee, recognizes social media is not, itself, the problem—it’s how we use it that needs examining.
    Author of Logged In and Stressed Out: How Social Media is Affecting Your Mental Health, Dr. Durlofsky guides us through its impact on break-ups and infidelities, social distortion and comparison, trauma and triggers, social media binging, depression, anxiety, and other common concerns, by using real stories from Dr. Durlofsky’s own practice to personalize concepts and recommendations.
