    Movement + Stillness: How Yoga & Journaling Unlock Mental Clarity (with Leslie Pincock)

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we welcome yoga instructor and nutrition coach Leslie Pincock to explore how movement and stillness work together to unlock mental clarity and balance in our lives. Leslie shares her journey from busy mom to certified yoga instructor and reveals the powerful practice she's developed that combines intentional movement, breathwork, stillness, and journaling. Discover how this approach helps shift your nervous system from fight-or-flight mode into rest and digest—lowering cortisol, raising feel-good hormones, and creating space for breakthrough insights. In this episode, we discuss: Why movement and stillness aren't opposites—they're partnersThe science behind sympathetic vs. parasympathetic nervous system responsesHow to capture brilliant ideas before they disappear (hint: write them down!)Leslie's best practices for balance: time blocking, hard boundaries, and ritualistic transitionsWhy presence matters more than perfectionWhat Gen Z is teaching us about intentional livingHow post-menopausal women need different movement practicesThe power of journaling after movement to unlock mental clarityLeslie's advice? "Motion is lotion—never stop moving. But also, don't be afraid to sit still. You need both. Just not at the same time." If you're feeling stuck in constant stress mode, overwhelmed by life's demands, or searching for more mental clarity, this episode will give you practical tools to find balance through movement and stillness.

    Adrenal Fatigue 101

    Send us Fan Mail Burnout isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s quiet and constant: you wake up tired, lean on caffeine, push through your day, and tell yourself you’ll recover “later.” We’re breaking down what that pattern can look like through the lens of adrenal fatigue, and we make it simple with an analogy you’ll remember: your energy works like money. You’ve got cash on hand, savings in the bank, and credit. When you’re living on credit, your body still shows up, but the payback can feel brutal. We talk through the biggest adrenal stressors we see in real life: chronic emotional stress and anxiety loops, sleep deprivation and a disrupted cortisol rhythm, blood sugar spikes and crashes, caffeine on an empty stomach, and the hidden hit of information overload from screens and nonstop stimulation. We also cover overtraining and why “more exercise” can backfire when recovery is missing, plus how inflammation, chronic illness, environmental toxins, and chronic pain keep the nervous system stuck in fight or flight. You’ll leave with practical, doable takeaways for adrenal support and balanced energy: prioritize sleep, use naps or a daily laydown to reset, anchor meals around protein, add whole-food complex carbs for steadier fuel, and stop digging the hole deeper with habits that keep you stressed. If someone you love is running on fumes, share this and help them rebuild their reserves. Subscribe, follow, and leave a review so more people can find Dx2podcast!

    Energy Givers Vs Energy Takers

    Send us Fan Mail Most people don’t have an energy problem. They have an energy leak. We start with a funny, very real story about a dream classic car that shows up as a painted shell in the garage and why “enjoy the struggle” might be one of the healthiest mindsets we can practice when life feels unfinished, messy, or missing parts. From there, we get practical and specific about energy takers and energy givers using our Wheel of Life approach. We talk about how focusing on the past, resentment, and negativity quietly drains your drive, how inconsistent sleep and shift-work schedules throw off your circadian rhythm, and why clutter and too much screen time can create mental overload and dopamine fatigue. We also challenge hustle mode and the “busy badge” mentality that fuels burnout, then connect the dots between junk food, ingredient lists, and the energy crash cycle so many people feel every day. Then we flip the script to the habits that actually recharge you: sunlight and nature (plus grounding or earthing), resting without guilt, consistent sleep hygiene, gratitude practices, whole nourishing foods, and gentle, appropriate movement that builds energy instead of punishing your body. We wrap with a simple reset you can use anytime: pluck one weed that drains you and plant one flower that gives you life. If this helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s always tired, and leave a review so more people can find the show. Wheel of Life Worksheet Dx2podcast.com
