Episode 221: The Importance of Sleep

Episode 222 of my Curate Your Health Podcast is out! Link below.   Dr. Valerie Cacho is here to discuss how to get a better night’s sleep. As we get older, we have less REM and less deep sleep and more light sleep. We need all 4 stages of sleep and if you are not sleeping well, your mood can be affected. She recommends reserving the last hour of your day for yourself to slow your brain waves so you can sleep better. She suggests slowing your breath, meditation, taking a bath, listening to music, or journaling for better sleep. One practice that she discusses is using your five senses. Think of somewhere you want to be, somewhere where you are at rest, and what are five things you are seeing, four things you are feeling, three things you are hearing, two things you smell and one thing you can taste.&nbsp;&nbsp;   Valerie Cacho, MD, is an integrative sleep medicine specialist. Her interests and expertise include diagnosing and treating medical sleep disorders, women's sleep concerns, mind-body approaches to insomnia, self-compassion training, clinical hypnotherapy, and promoting sleep health and wellness.

Episode 222: Tips to be Well Rested

Episode 223 of my Curate Your Health Podcast is out! Link below. &nbsp; Adele Spraggon is here to ask our listeners if your patterns of behavior are continuously getting in the way and stopping you from getting the things you want most in your life? She says forget commitment, willpower, positive-thinking, mindset techniques, or better goal-setting. These approaches are a thing of the past. We were told to use our mind to fix our problems, but this is simply not the case. Current brain research proves that you are not in control of your choices. Instead, your decisions are the result of decision-making patterns that were created early in life and that continue to control your life. To take different actions, you need to change your patterns. That means no blame in your past, no shame in your future, and nothing to fix in your present. There are only patterns and patterns can be changed. She wrote an award-winning book that provides the necessary knowledge and step-by-step instructions to change any of your behaviors, actions, or beliefs – permanently – in less than six weeks. &nbsp; Adele Spraggon is an award-winning author, thought leader, international trainer and a fearless speaker. She has been awarded the 2020 Woman of Inspiration Award and in 2021 she was&nbsp;recognized as the Top Behavioural Expert of the Year.

As tweens enter puberty it is important that they know how to have healthy hygiene, with both body and skin care habits. There are big differences between girls' and boys' hygiene. It is important that we educate and show our tweens and teens how to care for themselves. Mental health and depression can be tied into low self esteem from skin issues. Acne can be a result of hormonal changes, genetic components, and how your immune system responds to bacteria. We can help our kids by having them wash their face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, and make sure to keep the products simple, hypoallergenic, and fragrance free.

Episode 229: Vaginal Health

Episode 230 of my Curate Your Health Podcast is out! Link below. &nbsp; Udo Erasmus is here to talk about healthy oils. He describes our bodies as a major construction site. Some people say 98% of the time, the atoms in our bodies turn over and are removed and replaced every year. Our bodies need essential nutrients to be healthy. If you are not getting enough, your health will deteriorate, but you can reverse this. You need to be conscious of what you are bringing into your body. He became very interested in learning about how oils are made and discovered that the processing of oils was damaging the nutrients. He discusses how Omega 3 and Omega 6 are both essential to your body, but if you are getting one more than the other, it can be damaging, and you need a better ratio. If you have the right nutrients, your energy and skin will be better. He created oils with health in mind and with the right ratio of Omegas.&nbsp; &nbsp; The legendary Udo Erasmus is the co-founder of Udo’s Choice line, which can be found in Whole Foods and other health food stores worldwide. Udo designed the machinery for making oils with health in mind and pioneered flax oil, a billion dollar industry. However, Udo walked a difficult path to become the man he is today. Being a child of war, Udo’s life began with intense struggle. As an adult, he got pesticide poisoning in 1980, leaving doctors at a loss regarding treatment. Deciding to take his health into his own hands, Udo began researching, and his discoveries led him to a passion for finding the answers to life’s big questions which would hopefully one day bring him and the world peace. &nbsp; Today, Udo is an acclaimed speaker and author of many books, including the best-selling Fats That Heal Fats That Kill, which has sold over 250,000 copies. He teaches at events hosted by Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra, has keynoted an international brain health conference, and has traveled to over 30 countries to conduct thousands of live presentations, media interviews, and staff trainings impacting more than 25,000,000 lives with his message on oils, health, peace, nature, and human nature.
