    Episode 150: The Plan

    What is the productivity industrial complex? .. and what does it have to do with health and wellness?? Kendra Adachi says that it has influenced our lives and can lead to burnout and anxiety. She has written yet another book on time management and makes a convincing argument that “yes” we do need one AND that women will benefit from her perspective. Eleanor and Kristen enjoyed a studied reflection on THE PLAN: Manage your time like a lazy genius (2024), highlighting some of Adachi’s suggestions. If you are a woman struggling with managing ALL the details of your life, this book might be for you. Listen to our discussion to see if you want to flip the pages of this book!

    Episode 149: Rest

    How does a Health Geek get confused and read the wrong book? Maybe they didn’t get enough REST?  Kristen read a book called REST: 7 Types of Rest to Eliminate Burnout, Reduce Stress, and Overcome Anxiety by Allison Hay (2023). This was the book we selected to read together, but Eleanor picked up a book called REST: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less (2018) by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. We discovered this discrepancy when we got to the podcast studio, and it turned out to be a wonderful mistake. We had fun comparing notes from these two authors’ perspectives. Both books are worth a read! Listen in and let us know if REST is a part of your routine. We would appreciate it if you would subscribe/follow the podcast to hear more about this book!

    Episode 146: Quantum Body

    Do you want a new perspective on wellness? Did you know that your well-being, or lack of it, depends on the quantum field and is outside of your conscious control? If you are ready to stretch your understanding of how your body takes care of you, listen in.  Deepak Chopra MD, Jack Tuszynski PhD, and Brian Fertig MD have written a book that challenged both Eleanor and Kristen. In QUANTUM BODY: The New Science of Living a Longer, Healthier, More Vital Life (2023), the authors propose using quantum physics to explain some of the things that modern medicine can’t, going beyond genetics, the microbiome, and evolutionary biology. We are sure that there is more to this story yet to unfold… just give us some time to catch up. We would appreciate it if you would subscribe/follow the podcast to hear more about this book!
