https://calendly.com/lwadsworth/clarity-callAbout Susan Masterson:
Dr. Susan Masterson is a Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years combined training and experience with behavior modification, mental health treatment, lifestyle improvement, teaching, mentoring, and writing.
She is the author of website (Autoimmune Self-Care) geared toward educating/helping people improve lifestyle behaviors while living with a chronic illness (Sjogren's Disease/Autoimmunity).
Dr. Susan is also the creator/author of books, videos and educational content, all with a focus on strengthening the mind and body.
 
What We Discuss In This Episode:
Dr. Susan Masterson shares how she lived with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease for decades. It was a real mix of emotions for her on this journey, especially in light of how the healthcare professionals say lab work is fine – not such not good news when you're feeling terrible.
Susan points out that we can't necessarily do anything about the things that are going to happen to us - we know we can't control everything – but we can have control over how we react to things.
Her is finding ways to help people tap into those moments of, “I feel good.” (Not  positive thinking. )  She hones in on things that make you smile, what makes you laugh, what makes you do that makes you feel good.  For example, Susan talks about what you liked to do when you were a little kid? What made you laugh when you were little?  Susan encourages us to find what lights us up.
She also shares some mindfulness exercises – especially when it comes to feeling judged by others as to how they think you should or shouldn’t react to your illness, pain or situation. You need to find those pockets of time and just fill your mental space with that as often as possible. Susan strongly encourages coloring for a good mindful state and shares her own experience in this regard.  She shares her experiences with mindfulness guided drawing or coloring activities which have been shown to be better at reducing anxiety.
She talks about a field of psychology called positive psychology.  It's not the old psychology where they used to try to remove negative mood states, but this is a way to strengthen the positive and grow that positivity.  Gratitude is a way to keep you there. Mindfulness, gratitude, the journaling can help keep you there.
She emphasizes practicing the mindful journaling, mindful coloring, reiterating that that the whole point of what she shares is to fill the space rather than try to pull negative stuff out of the mental space. 
Susan shares about the Anxiety Relief Coloring Pages & Journal Prompts Book she published. This book is different to regular coloring books as it’s anchors you to the present moment.
Key Takeaways:
How to generate your own positive emotions to benefit your well-being and physical health. How to elicit a positive emotional state. How present moment awareness/mindfulness can reduce chronic pain and facilitate healing. Mood traits and immune function Positive Affect Journaling Coloring and anxiety relief

About Dr. Jeff Crippen:
Dr. Jeff Crippen is a Chiropractor, nutritionist and coach who enjoys helping others unlock their true potential.
Dr. Jeff has helped clients both through chiropractic care and nutrition at his wellness clinic in Saint Jo, Texas as well as through individualized mindset coaching with the Advanced Coaching and Leadership Center.
He finds a holistic approach — optimizing spirit, mind, and body — the most efficient and effective way to create a lifetime of timeless youth.
 
What We Discuss In This Episode:
Frustrated by years of ineffective traditional treatments for severe headaches, Dr. Jeff pursued chiropractic and nutrition degrees, unlocking his ability to help others heal holistically by following basic health principles, some of which he shares with us in this episode.
Dr. Jeff outlines key lifestyle factors and nutrients vital for immune function, such as avoiding inflammatory foods, limiting sugar, and obtaining vitamin C, D, and minerals. He also discusses detecting and addressing underlying infections or weaknesses.
Dr. Jeff also shares that by optimizing nerve function through adjustments, chiropractic enhances communication between organs, shown to up-regulate the immune system. Proper nerve flow is key to coordinating immune cell activity.
We discuss how, by staying open during lockdowns, Dr. Jeff supported many diagnosed with or recovering from COVID using targeted nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle changes. This gave patients' bodies the tools to finish recovery and avoid long-term issues.
Common among midlife and perimenopausal women, Dr. Jeff shares how thyroid and adrenal issues share connections and stressors like infections, food sensitivities, and lifestyle demands. Comprehensive testing and a holistic rebuilding process are needed for resolution.
Specific vitamins, minerals, herbs and organ support optimize the function of immune organs like the thymus and bone marrow. Both adding beneficial factors and removing inflammatory influences like food allergens strengthens one's defenses long-term.
Dr. Jeff closes out sharing his book and what it’s about: Timeless Youth.

About Dr. Prudence Hall:
Dr. Prudence Hall started as a traditional gynecological surgeon and transitioned her career to focus on regenerative and integrated medicine. As the founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, California, she saw a critical need to address the problems confronting women and men experiencing the stubborn and often debilitating symptoms associated with aging.
Her practice is focused exclusively on regenerative medicine, looking into the root causes of conditions and diseases rather than simply treating symptoms. She strives to help clients achieve optimal health and actively prevent disease without the use of pharmaceutical drugs when appropriate.
As a health consultant, she strives to help clients achieve optimal wellbeing and actively prevent inevitable decline using proven natural, regenerative methods. She is also the author of Radiant Again & Forever.
 
What We Discuss In This Episode:
In this episode we talk a little today about aging - especially when it comes to women in perimenopause, menopause, or even postmenopause. All of a sudden, it becomes a big topic for us – even something that can keep us awake at night when we think about all of the changes we're seeing
Dr. Prudence talks about how integrated the body is and how something as simple as the gut can affect all our emotions and our moods and our future diseases and it just became so exciting to be able to put this together in a different way with the traditional knowledge that I have.  She shares her belief that treating perimenopause and really being aware of what's going on in our body is so important. She comments that when she started this type of work, the perimenopausal age was really more like 50, 51, 52.  Now women are saying, “But you know, my doctor won't even check my hormones because they say I'm far too young for this.” We see women at an earlier age starting their menopausal journey. Because of this, be your own advocate with your doctor - inform your doctor what you think is going on.
Dr. Prudence shares that symptoms are absolutely crucial. And especially with some of the other hormones that start to decline. So, in menopause, it's not just the ovarian hormones that decline.  It's very, very stressful to the body to lose your estrogen, progesterone and your testosterone. When you're in menopause, what happens is low estrogen causes high inflammation, high stress, high LDL, generally bad cholesterol, and so stress inflammation, and high sugar. Dr. Prudence shares that when she raises those estradiol levels in the rest of the hormones, including the thyroid, then the body becomes youthful again and whole. 
We also discuss what happens to women when they’ve had a hysterectomy - or even a partial – we should make sure that we know our hormones before and then after.
Dr. Prudence discusses how it’s not just about taking hormones in the perimenopausal phase, but she shares that at age 73, she is I'm still on full hormones and feels like she’s about 45. She believes she would be much more tired and experience much more brain fog without them. 
Key Takeaways
Perimenopause can start as early as the late 30s and is a crucial time to get hormone levels checked. Symptoms matter more than age. Menopause causes increased inflammation, stress, LDL cholesterol, and sugar, which lead to diseases. Hormone therapy can help prevent this. Hormone levels should be optimized to youthful ranges throughout life to prevent diseases and maintain vitality. Thyroid health is critical for energy, weight, skin, hair, and brain function.
