  1. Why It's Essential You Learn Something New (especially if you think you're an expert)

    Why It's Essential You Learn Something New (especially if you think you're an expert)

    As adults, we don't often put ourselves in the position of being a novice. In this episode, I'm sharing why I've gone back to basics in my professional life, and the uncomfortable truth that despite years of experience, stepping back into a learner's role can trigger our ego by forcing us to confront our poor practices. Through my experiences, I highlight the importance of intellectual humility and the courage to unlearn old patterns in order to grow and stay relevant. Embracing the discomfort of being a beginner not only supports personal growth, mental agility and psychological flexibility but it enhances our cognitive abilities and keeps our passion for learning alive. I also share an incredible study highlighting the impact on our cognitive wellbeing from continuing to learn new skills as we age. Takeaways: Embracing the beginner's mindset is essential for continuous growth in our professional lives. Experiencing discomfort when learning new skills can lead to significant personal and professional development. Our ego often hinders us from acknowledging our need to learn and grow, especially as experts. Humility in accepting feedback and criticism is crucial for maintaining relevance in our careers.

    What Every Woman Needs to Know about Hormones with Dr Louise Newson (Part 2)

    Understanding the critical role of hormone therapy is essential for women at every stage of life, not just those who are navigating the complexities of menopause and beyond. In my second conversation with Dr. Louise Newson, we discuss how to know if your hormone levels are low, whether it's possible to take too high a dose, and also the potential consequences of not replacing your lost hormones as you get older, such as increased risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and even dementia. We dive into the difference between hormonal contraceptives and bio-identical hormones, and why even young women could benefit from targeted hormone therapy. Many women are still unaware of the profound benefits hormone therapy can offer so in this episode we aim to shed light on this topic and empower women to advocate for their health. Takeaways: Hormone therapy is not just for menopause and can offer significant benefits to younger women suffering from hormonal imbalances.HRT is crucial for peri-and menopausal women to balance hormones and reduce the risk of various health issues such as heart disease and osteoporosis. Understanding the difference between hormonal contraceptives and bio-identical hormones is vital for informed health decisions. Many women still believe misconceptions about HRT, which can lead to unnecessary suffering and health risks. Listening to women's symptoms and experiences is essential in addressing their health needs effectively. The risks associated with not taking hormones often outweigh the fears surrounding hormone replacement therapy. Natural hormones may be more beneficial than synthetic options, and women should advocate for their health choices.
