    Digital Minimalism: Stop Letting Tech Ruin Your Life

    We want to hear from you - Send us a text Your phone didn’t “just get sticky,” it was engineered that way. Strategist and accountability coach Kelsey Green joins us to map a saner path through the attention economy, showing how digital minimalism can boost focus, deepen relationships, and transform sleep without ditching every tool you love. We unpack how intermittent rewards in social apps hijack dopamine, why boredom is actually a creative engine, and how a few strict boundaries turn scattered days into steady momentum. Kelsey shares pragmatic steps that work in real life.

    Best AI Wearables to Crush Your 2026 Health Goals

    We want to hear from you - Send us a text What if your watch knew you needed rest before you did, and could prove it with clean, actionable data? We dive into the real-world fundamentals of AI-powered wearables, from heart rate variability and sleep stages to temperature changes and biomarker integrations, then translate that tech into clear choices for different lives: city commutes and app ecosystems, suburban flexibility across home and work, and rugged, offline reliability for cabins, farms, and long trails. I walk through a practical checklist to cut the noise: connectivity that fits your environment, five-to-seven-day battery life, validated sensors for your goals, comfort that supports daily wear, and ecosystems that won’t trap your data.  We also unpack the privacy layer most buyers skip.

    Beat The Winter Blues: Beginner’s Guide To Ice Fishing

    We want to hear from you - Send us a text Winter doesn’t need to sideline your energy or your joy. We open the cabin door to ice fishing as a practical antidote to seasonal affective disorder, laying out a simple, confident plan for your first day on hard water: the exact starter gear that won’t drain your wallet, the ice thickness rules that keep you safe, and the rescue drills that turn fear into muscle memory. You’ll understand what to wear, what to carry, and how to move across the ice like someone who belongs there. In this solo episode, we also unpack the living roots of the sport, from Inuit and Ojibwe innovations to traditions on Chagan Lake and beyond. That heritage reframes modern ice fishing as a cross-cultural skill that still puts food on the table while building community and resilience.  Chapters 0:48 Modern Ice Fishing Snapshot 2:31 Beginner Barriers We’ll Solve 4:15 Essential Gear On A Budget 6:11 Safety Fundamentals And Ice Checks 7:32 Cold Water Survival Pro Tips 10:32 Culture, Etiquette, And Language 11:28 Indigenous Roots And Global History 14:34 World’s Best Ice Fishing Destinations 16:46 Mental Health And Community Benefits If winter has felt heavy, this guide gives you sunlight, movement, and connection in one habit. You’ll leave with a checklist for rods, augers, ice picks, and sleds; a crystal-clear walkthrough of the 1-10-1 cold-water survival principle; and a culture primer that helps you speak the language on day one.  BeRootedInRootedIn: Magnesium Cream.

    Nature's Secret to Avoiding Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD/WSAD)

    We want to hear from you - Send us a text This episode is featured in USA News. Winter doesn’t have to feel heavy or gray. We explore a practical, science-backed way to beat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by embracing outdoor time, adopting a winter-positive mindset and choosing activities that are fun, affordable, and easy to start. From daylight walks to moonlit hikes, we map out how fresh air, movement, and a little grit can lift mood, sharpen focus, create a healthy lifestyle, and make cold days feel like an opportunity instead of a burden. In this solo episode, I break down what SAD looks like, why it hits so hard, and which lifestyle levers move the needle the most. We talk through approachable winter options—daily walks, cross-country skiing, and an eye-opening primer on skijoring, the hybrid sport that pairs skiing with a dog who loves to run and pull.

    How Glucose Problems Start, Why It Persists, and What You Can Do Today

    We want to hear from you - Send us a text This episode is featured in USA News. Blood sugar shouldn’t feel like a roller coaster. We sat down with functional medicine expert Dr. Kevin Smith to unpack how metabolism really works —across hormones, immune function, gut health, and brain — and why so many people feel hungry, foggy, and exhausted even while “doing everything right.” Dr. Smith explains insulin resistance in plain language, how to achieve hormone balance, nutrition tips, how cells make ATP, and the hidden ways stress and sleep shape glucose levels. He also challenges old grazing advice and shows how intermittent fasting and smart macronutrients can re-sensitize insulin, stabilize energy, and support autophagy for cellular cleanup.

    Aging Poorly Has Nothing to Do With Genetics

    We want to hear from you - Send us a text The future version of you is being built at your next meal, your next bedtime, and your next workout. We sit down with author and “glam grandma” Lynne Bowman to rethink what 80 can look like and map out a clear, joyful strategy for aging with strength, clarity, and community. No lectures, no fads—just the essentials that move the needle: cut added sugar, protect deep sleep, and train your muscles so your bones stay safe. We go beyond the plate to the pillars that protect longevity. Resistance training builds the muscle that stabilizes joints and accelerates healing, turning a femur fracture into a comeback story. Sleep becomes a superpower — deep rest repairs tissue, balances hormones, and sparks insight. If you’re ready to trade resignation for agency, this conversation hands you a friendly but firm blueprint. Start with one change—no added sugar, a lights‑out bedtime, or a simple strength session—and build from there. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs inspiration, and leave a quick review to help more people age on their own terms.
