    Ep. 24: Eating Healthy at Home — How to Save Money, Cut Inflammation, and Never Spend Hours in the Kitchen | Feeling Good Feels Good

    The average American spends nearly $11,000 a year eating out. Most home cooked meals cost under $6 per serving. This episode gives you the system to change that without spending hours in the kitchen or following complicated recipes. Find out how cooking at home literally built the human brain 1.9 million years ago — and what that still means for your body today. Find out why the oil you cook with is one of the most important health decisions you make every single day — and why most restaurants never use the right one. Find out why eating something sweet first thing in the morning sets your cravings and energy for the entire rest of the day before it has even started. Find out the exact breakfast, snack, lunch, and dinner system Dr. Tripp uses personally — two cooking sessions a week, one pan, no recipes required. Find out which personality type you are in the kitchen — and why most people who hate cooking are just using the wrong approach for how their brain actually works.

    Ep. 23: Raspberries: How This Little "Berry" Is So Powerful and So Different From Other Fruits | Feeling Good Feels Good

    Most people throw a handful of raspberries in their yogurt without thinking twice. This episode will change that. Find out why raspberries are not actually a berry. And what they really are botanically will surprise you. Find out how Paleolithic cave dwellers used them. How ancient Greeks explained why they are red. How Roman soldiers used them on military campaigns across Europe. How Traditional Chinese Medicine has been prescribing them for fifteen hundred years. And how George Washington used them at Mount Vernon.

Find out what ellagitannins are, what your gut does with them, and why a fifty dollar supplement is just an expensive version of something sitting in your freezer aisle for two dollars.

    Rotator Cuff: Why You Might Not Need Surgery and the Fascinating Way It Was Designed to Work | Feeling Good Feels Good Ep. 22

    The rotator cuff is one of the most commonly injured parts of the body and you don't have to be an athlete to hurt it. Four small muscles quietly handle some of the most complex movements your body performs every single day. Reaching for a coffee mug. Putting on a jacket. Washing your hair. All rotator cuff. Most people only think about these muscles when something goes wrong. But the rotator cuff is far more remarkable than most people realize. It is a high tech system that played a key role in humans evolving into what we are today. In many ways we have to thank our rotator cuffs for modern society more than we ever realize. And like most high tech systems, that sophistication makes it incredibly useful and also vulnerable to breaking down. Understanding how it works, how it gets injured, and how to rehab it is more vital to everyday life than most people appreciate. In this episode we cover the anatomy and origins of these four muscles, the evolutionary story behind your shoulder, and the most common injuries including tears, tendonitis, and impingement. We break down how to recognize them and how to tell them apart from other shoulder problems. Then we get into recovery. Most rotator cuff injuries do not require surgery. We cover what non-surgical rehabilitation actually looks like including physical therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture, and what the full progression from early recovery to complete function feels like. Whether you are dealing with shoulder pain right now, recovering from an injury, or just want to keep your shoulders healthy for life — this episode is for you.

    Habits: Easy Ways to Make Them Actually Stick | Feeling Good Feels Good Podcast Ep. 20

    Episode 20 of the Feeling Good Feels Good Podcast. Habits are one of the hardest things humans try to change—even when they seem simple. Most people think habits come down to discipline or motivation. In reality, habits are neural shortcuts—patterns your brain builds to conserve energy and operate efficiently. That’s why they’re so hard to change, and why “trying harder” usually doesn’t work. In this episode of the Feeling Good Feels Good Podcast, we break down the science of habits in a practical, easy-to-understand way. Think of habits like the rotator cuff of human behavior: small, often overlooked, but essential for everything working properly. When they’re weak, everything feels harder. When they’re strong, everything feels effortless. We cover: What a habit actually is (from a neuroscience perspective)Why humans evolved to rely on habitsWhy some habits are harder to start or stopThe truth about the 21-day habit mythWhy your environment matters more than willpowerThe brain systems that drive behavior and changeAnd most importantly, a simple, low-effort framework you can use immediately to make habits actually stick in real life. If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, motivation, or following through, this episode will help you understand why—and give you a better way forward. Feeling good feels good.

    Ep. 19 | Fascia: The Hidden Organ That Controls Your Body

    Is fascia really an organ — and does it actually control how your body moves and feels? In Episode 19 of Feeling Good Feels Good, we explore the fascial system — the continuous connective tissue network that surrounds, supports, and integrates every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in your body. Once dismissed as simple “packing material,” fascia is now being recognized as a dynamic, sensory-rich system that plays a major role in movement, tension patterns, pain, performance, and even emotional regulation. In this episode, we unpack: What fascia actually is and how it functions Whether fascia meets the definition of an organ How fascia stores movement patterns and protective responses The connection between fascia, memory, trauma, and emotion What it feels like when fascia becomes restricted or hypersensitive How to support a healthier, more adaptable fascial system If you’ve ever felt stuck in chronic tension, repetitive movement patterns, or unexplained stiffness, this conversation may shift how you understand your body. Your fascia may not just support you, it may be shaping how you experience the world.
