Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning Operation Podcast

Imagine carrying a relentless storm of anxiety, compelled by thoughts that clash with your core values—a reality for many living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Joined by Stephen Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of NoCD, we confront the cold truth about OCD, unmasking the fears and secretive struggles that countless individuals endure. Gone are the misconceptions and casual stigmas; instead, our conversation serves as a beacon of understanding and a call to action for heightened awareness and empathy.
This episode offers firsthand narratives and expert insights into the labyrinth of OCD subtypes, from harm-based to relationship OCD. We discuss the transformative effect of specialized treatment, particularly exposure response prevention (ERP), and how it stands as a testament to hope for those grappling with this disorder. Stephen's journey with NoCD shines a light on the importance of immediate, accessible support, detailing how ERP is revolutionizing care by meeting people where they are, amidst their deepest fears.

Ever wondered how the teeming world within our gut impacts everything from our mood to our metabolism? Today, we sit down with microbiome expert Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD to explore the hidden universe of our gut health. We unravel the complexities of the microbiome, emphasizing the importance of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in metabolizing the food we eat. Colleen shines a light on the common misconceptions about probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics, and why selecting high-quality supplements is crucial for optimal gut health. Together, we investigate the powerful influence of gut health on metabolic control and discuss the surprising connection between our gut and brain through the gut-brain axis.

Join me as I welcome the incredible Liz Letchford, transformational artist and founder of Body Church, to this captivating conversation about sensuality, art, and healing. Listen in as Liz unravels her story of embracing the full spectrum of our inner experiences and how our personal narratives shape not just our minds, but our physical bodies. She artfully bridges the gap between the academic understanding of the body's capabilities and the more intuitive, healing aspects of sensation and storytelling, guiding us to uncover the healing potential that lies within our own sensuality.
In our discussion, we delve into the magnetic power of presence and the language our bodies speak through vibration. Liz's insights into how our emotions shape our physiological state are not just thought-provoking but potentially life-changing. From the significance of breathwork to the transformative effects of confronting personal trauma, this episode is a masterclass in emotional awareness and body consciousness.

Imagine the power of a simple molecule coursing through your veins, holding the key to longevity, peak performance, and a fortress-like defense against cardiovascular disease. Nobel Laureate Dr. Louis Ignarro returns to unveil the wonders of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule his research helped bring into the health spotlight. With insights into its impact on conditions from diabetes to erectile dysfunction, Dr. Ignarro discusses how NO isn't just a part of our biology—it's a vital protector of it. 
This episode isn't just about groundbreaking science; it's a treasure trove of practical advice. We discover the astonishing connection between humming and NO levels and delve into how diet—from the antioxidant-rich Mediterranean diet to the scrutinized carnivore diet—plays a pivotal role in NO production. But it's not all about what you eat; we also cover the effects of nasal breathing techniques and why something as simple as mouth tape could revolutionize the way you sleep.
Lastly, we look to the horizon of medical innovation, where the potential for inhaled nitric oxide therapy shines bright—not just for newborns in distress but for severe COVID-19 cases and beyond. Dr. Ignarro's insights are a testament to the molecule's versatility, with possibilities extending into performance enhancement for athletes and the development of on-demand NO generation devices.
