    ACT Your Way Out of Anxiety with Dr. Carissa Gustafson

    In this week's episode, we have an enlightening chat with psychologist Dr. Carissa Gustafson about using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to get a handle on anxiety. Dr. Gustafson provides valuable insights on how a sense of lacking control can drive anxiety. She explains how ACT helps you accept what you can and can't control, and take action focused on the present moment. We also dive into powerful ACT concepts like mindfulness, cognitive defusion, and connecting behaviors to your core values. Dr. Gustafson emphasizes embracing all your experiences with compassion as opposed to avoiding difficult emotions. She shares extremely practical techniques to become more flexible and committed to the meaningful life you want. Get ready to learn research-backed tools to develop self-awareness, acceptance, and take value-aligned action when anxiety strikes! Some amazing highlights from our chat: 2:30 - Dr. Gustafson explains how anxiety arises from wanting control to feel safe. She emphasizes accepting what you can and can't control. 7:55 - How mindfulness helps relate to thoughts and feelings with open awareness rather than avoidance. 13:40 - Dr. Gustafson talks about using cognitive defusion to become unstuck from anxious thoughts. She suggests thanking your mind for trying to protect you. 21:15 - Dr. Jay asks about linking behaviors to values to enhance motivation for change. Dr. Gustafson agrees this is key. 31:20 - Dr. Gustafson stresses embracing all experiences, even difficult emotions, with self-compassion rather than judgment.

    From Stress to Strength: A Psychologist's Journey Back to Mental Well-being

    In this podcast, I challenge the misconception that health professionals are immune to their own struggles. As a psychologist and co-founder of Hanu, I share my experiences with emotional stress and anxiety to show that anyone can face these challenges. It's time to prioritize mental health as a crucial foundation of our wellness plans. During the podcast, I discuss the power of mindfulness and being present in the moment. Breathing exercises are essential for embracing our emotional experiences. Additionally, I share my fitness routine, which includes Zone 2 and Zone 5 training for cardiorespiratory fitness. Join me on this journey to prioritize our mental health and embrace well-being through mindfulness, exercise, and other important aspects. 0:00:00 "Exploring Mental Health Struggles as a Mental Health Practitioner" 0:03:08 "The Importance of Mental and Emotional Health: My Personal Struggles and What I'm Doing About It" 0:05:30 Exploring Mental Health: My Journey of Self-Awareness and Self-Regulation 0:10:50 Exploring the Emotional Rollercoaster of Stress and Anxiety 0:13:09 Exploring My Journey to Mental Health Wellness 0:14:47 Exploring the Benefits of Mental Health Therapy Modalities 0:16:54 Heading: Exploring the Pros and Cons of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 0:19:30 Exploring Values-Driven Living: A Conversation on Emotional Awareness and Acceptance 0:22:01 Exploring Mindfulness and Diffusion Techniques for Anxiety Management 0:23:51 Exploring Mental and Emotional Health Through ACT and Exercise 0:25:48 Training for Improved Cardiovascular Fitness: A Discussion on Zone Two, Zone Five, and Vo2 Max Interval Training 0:28:29 Heading: The Benefits of Exercise and Nutrition for Mental and Physical Health 0:30:12 The Benefits of Optimizing Sleep and Autonomic Nervous System Regulation Through Diet, Exercise, and Mindfulness Practices 0:39:37 Exploring Emotional Wellness: A Discussion on Meditation, Hanu, and Walking as Tools for Self-Care 0:41:24 Exploring the Power of Accountability and Relationships for Mental Health 0:46:23 "The Benefits of Emotional Mental Health: A Conversation with Hanu Health"

    Sleep Architecture, The Best Sleep Trackers Out There, Adjusting our REM Sleep Schedule and More: Roundtable #2 with Mollie McGlocklin and the Biohacker Babes!

    The one thing that I've really wanted out of my podcast, but also just in general, is a lot more powerful female voices in the fields of health and wellness, performance, and biohacking. So when I had the opportunity to participate in a roundtable podcast, I immediately knew three incredible women who would make for a really good, well-rounded discussion. Mental health, wellbeing and stress impacts both males and females. But in the health and wellness community, a lot of the time the strategies and therapeutics are more pointed towards males. So for me, this episode scratches my own itch because conversations like these are such an underserved thing in our community. Let's meet our esteemed guests on today's Roundtable Podcast. Renee Belz and Lauren Sambataro - The Biohacker Babes PodcastMollie McGlocklin - Sleep Is a Skill Podcast In this episode, you'll learn: -How Mollie structures her sleep architecture...02:31 -Consistency vs Accuracy of sleep trackers...05:42 -How Dr. Jay digests his sleep data...07:21 -What trackers DO measure well...08:24 -Renee’s advice if you’re not a crazy Biohacker!...10:36 -Dr. Jay’s data routine...13:15 -Renee’s advice & experience with REM...18:27 -Can we shift our REM stages in the night?...23:01 -Empower Sleep Ring for Sleep Apnea...26:03 -Lauren’s ‘home sleep study’ & Alarm clock hack...30:02 -Sleep Coaching with Whoop...33:37 -Why we need consistent sleep/wake times...34:25 -What Dr. Jay does to get back on track...40:01 -Mollie’s sleep anxiety & “Do Nothing Method”...43:43 -Renee’s biggest sleep struggle...46:22 -Lauren’s preference with week to weekend sleep...47:48 -Mollie’s “Circadian-crafted Day” and “Summer Hours”...49:20 -Dr. Jay’s non-negotiable...51:25 -Mollie’s personal sleep challenges & hacks...52:50 -STUDY about Sheets...57:02 -Renee’s travel sleep hacks...58:31

    Why Hanu? Dr. Jay Shares an Insider's Look at Developing a High-Tech Wearable.

    The very act of recording this podcast was...interesting. Four separate attempts, and an entire hour consumed before I could get the product I wanted to share with you. Frustrating as it was due to factors I won't get into here, I realized it's very much like the process of developing our Hanu wearable, (which you can buy at a massive 40% discount when you use discount code POD40 at checkout.) In this episode, I share the essential product development factors that the Hanu team and I have taken from Day 1. Bottom line is if your life isn't improved by using the product, all the data in the world won't do you a lick of good. I'll just leave it at that. Enjoy this short "walk and talk" episode! In this episode, you'll learn: -The roadmap of developing an advanced tech product like the Hanu wearable...05:55 -Hanu is not an HRV company; HRV is the mechanism by which we measure the efficacy of the product...08:05 -Direction is the most valuable component of the Hanu mission (how to get from Point A to Point B)...11:30 -Data vs. outcomes in measuring the efficacy of the product, not to mention the quality of your life...13:20 -Changing psychology before changing physiology...16:40 -And more! Resources mentioned: Go to hanuhealth.com and use discount code POD40 for a fat 40% discount off the retail price. This offer is literally days away from being taken off the table, so if you're going to buy it, now's the time!
