This week's Addicted to Fitness explores the ancient, somewhat controversial practice of using urine as a health supplement. Based on a recent conversation overheard in the sauna, Nick and Shannon research the beginnings of urine therapy, the alleged health benefits, the potential detrimental side effects, and how modern supplements/medications have minimized the need for this ancient tradition.

Last month, it was announced that WW (formerly Weight Watchers) was set to acquire Sequence, a subscription telehealth platform “offering access to healthcare providers specializing in chronic weight management”. Since that announcement, there’s been some pushback - but we know on this podcast that mainstream media doesn’t always get it 100% right. So, I decided to go straight to the source so I can make up my mind for myself!

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Michelle Cardel, a registered dietitian and obesity and nutrition scientist who oversees WW’s academic research partnerships and clinical trials, nutrition portfolio, and science communication. We discuss what Sequence is, why WW is pursuing this acquisition, and what it means for the future of WW. All this and more - stay tuned!

A few years ago in an episode I said:

Anxiety is so much more than the typical stress reaction. 

For some of us, we gag, we choke, we have heart pains, we have chest pains, we have diarrhea, we have gastric distress, we have excessive sweating.

We can't leave our homes. These are not the kind of things you're going to be thinking your way through if your symptoms are that extreme.

It’s time for a Life Update!!

Today Carla sits down with her husband Terry and talks about the journey she has been on the last 4 months as her and her medical team try to find a better combination of medication to support her bipolar and bpd.  It has been a roller coaster!

Know this - it’s okay if you need medication for your mental illness.  But it can sometimes take multiple trial and errors to land on the right one for you.  

It doesn’t  begin and end with medication though.  You need to implement Carla’s 4 Pillars of Thriving in your life.  This is the basis on which she coaches her clients in In His Image Wellness Collective.

Deciding on taking medication is a choice and a responsibility. 

Welcome to a new series on Dr. Kimber’s I Thought I Was Over This podcast! This short series, which will be two to three episodes, will cover questions that come up often in her private practice, beginning with: “How do I know if I need help? And if I do, where do I go for help? What if or do I need medication?” Mental health is something we all deal with, and this series aims to provide resources and suggestions if you’re wondering if you need help (and you are not alone if you’re feeling this way — so many of us do at various times!).

In part 1 of this “Getting Help” series, Dr. Kimber starts with offering questions that she uses in her practice to help gain clarity into what is going on, including: “How are you functioning?” Then through reflection, stories, and sharing, she offers ideas of different options and areas to consider, including therapy, medication, supplements, habits, behaviors, and sleep.

Key moments include:
01:36 – The importance of asking yourself: “How can you function?” and “What’s getting in your way?”
05:51 – Let’s discuss: What can you do when you can’t function and accomplish your daily duties such as work, household chores, hygiene, and even physical contact with people?
09:33 – Dr. Kimber’s experience with depression. 
10:39 – Dr. Dan Siegel’s story about his struggle with depression.
11:42 – How can you get medication in a professional setting?
17:04 – Dr. Kimber’s opinion regarding supplements. 
18:43 – A quick recap of the actionable steps you can take as you get help.
