Mike reminds us that while we cannot undo the tragedies of the past, we can choose how we act moving forward. Mike expresses his gratitude to his audience for tuning in, honoring the power of connection and the positive impact this show aims to make in every listener’s day. And he closes with the spirited words of Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: Be Good. Do Good. God Bless. And Go Bills!   IN THIS EPISODE: ➡️ How tragic events remind us to practice gratitude, empathy, and respect for others ➡️ Why peace, kindness, and curiosity are actionable choices we can make every day ➡️ The importance of emphasizing human connection over politics or ideology ➡️ Why gratitude and connection are central to leaving a positive impact on others’ lives   📘 BONUS TAKEAWAY: Even in the face of tragedy and division, we each have the power to choose kindness, curiosity, and empathy in our daily interactions—and that choice can create ripple effects of peace and understanding in our communities and beyond.   Connect with Mike: Linktree   SPONSORS: Social Chameleon | Transform Your Podcast   AFFILIATES: Libsyn | First Month FREE with Promo Code BEGREAT Riverside | This interview was recorded on Riverside   Want to become a show sponsor or affiliate?

    In this powerful episode, Dr. Cindy Libert takes you behind the scenes of your own biology, uncovering how sex hormones—estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA—are the silent directors of brain health, mood, memory, energy, and even sleep. When these messengers drift out of balance, the ripple effects can feel overwhelming: brain fog clouds your thoughts, irritability takes the spotlight, sleepless nights drag on, and your natural spark begins to dim. But here, the story doesn’t end—it turns into a comeback. With clarity and compassion, Dr. Cindy delivers practical, science-backed strategies that anyone can use to take control of their hormonal health. From building meals rich in nutrients to harnessing the power of strength training, from protecting your sleep to minimizing everyday hormone disruptors, she reveals how small lifestyle choices can unlock big results. And there’s a surprising twist: the healing power of joy, pleasure, and meaningful relationships. Beyond labs and checklists, Dr. Cindy reminds us that laughter, connection, and fulfillment are not luxuries—they are essential tools for hormonal balance and a thriving mind. Part science, part empowerment, and all inspiration—this episode is your ultimate guide to restoring balance, reclaiming energy, and creating a life where your brain and body are finally working in harmony. IN THIS EPISODE: ➡️ Rethinking Longevity with Purpose ➡️ Why Faith and Science are Friends ➡️ Why Sleep is So Sacred ➡️ Food as Fuel, Not Fixation   📘 BONUS TAKEAWAY: True hormonal balance comes from more than diet, exercise, and sleep—it’s about embracing joy, meaningful connections, and experiences that nourish both mind and body.
