    Depresh Mode: Comedy and Mental Health with John Moe

    Today’s guest, John Moe, is the host and creator of the podcast Depresh Mode. Before that, he hosted the award-winning hit podcast The Hilarious World of Depression, and he recently wrote and published a book by the same name. John has written for publications like The New York Times Magazine, McSweeney's, and The Seattle Times among others. He’s written plays that have been performed on three continents, and his radio work has appeared on a variety of national networks. John is no stranger to something I’ve wanted to explore all along with Vitamin Joy -- mental health and humor. On his podcast Depresh Mode, John interviews comedians, musicians, and creatives about mental health – with no stigma, no shame, lots of laughs.  He’s also candid about his own experience with depression. In this episode, we talk about comedy, mental health, what works and doesn’t, his podcast, having dogs, and so much more. John was a joy to interview and left me with a lot of hope. Enjoy!

    The Joy of Healing Your Self with Nicole LePera

    Dr. Nicole LePera is a holistic psychologist. She received traditional training in clinical psychology at Cornell University and The New School of Social Research, and she started the Instagram account @the.holistic.psychologist, which has become wildly popular. On it, she shares her tools for transformation with an ever-growing community of #SelfHealers. Most recently, she is the author of a book called How to Do The Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from your Past and Create Your Self. It’s a great book -- I learned so much from it, and I think there is so much joy that comes from healing ourselves. In today’s episode, Nicole and I talk about all of it -- dealing with trauma (big T and little t), how to heal ourselves using all sorts of easy tools (jump to 24:35 for a conversation about singing, gargling, and the vagus nerve), setting boundaries, and Nicole’s Vitamin Joy challenge for us all. This is a powerful show. I hope you take a lot from it. I did. Enjoy! Sponsors: FX Chocolate – Amazing supplements inside sugar-free, keto-friendly dark chocolate squares.

    The Joy of Biohacking Your Health with Dave Asprey

    Sharing greater health and joy with others often starts with figuring out what works for yourself, and that’s exactly what Dave Asprey has done. Dave is the founder of Bulletproof Coffee, the creator of the Bulletproof Diet, a best selling author, and the self-proclaimed founder of biohacking. Over the last two decades, Dave has personally spent nearly $2 million to study with top scientists and doctors in order to better understand the most innovative methods, techniques, and products for enhancing mental and physical performance. His goal is to help people be better partners, parents, providers, and overall human beings in every aspect of life. Basically, to be bulletproof. He’s also the author of the new book Fast This Way. In this episode, Dave and I talk about fasting, how it differs for men and women, ways to make fasting easier, his bulletproof diet, foods and vitamins he recommends, and of course, humor. While Dave and I don’t agree on all things, I find him to be incredibly fascinating, and I appreciate his personal story behind why he came to do the work he does, and why he finds so much meaning doing it.
