    Unlocking the Secrets of Heart Health: Expert Insights & Actionable Tips

    Unlocking the Secrets of Heart Health: Expert Insights & Actionable Tips

    Taking leadership of your heart health is a key to longevity and vitality. In this episode, I provide a framework for heart health beyond the conventional model that is reliant upon medications. 

    Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the U.S. and is the leading cause of death globally. The conventional model relies upon medications to manage blood pressure and cholesterol. If you are willing to take leadership over your heart health, lifestyle and stress management modalities can change the trajectory of your heart health.

    When it comes to taking lifelong blood pressure medications, my advice is to question if you want to be on medication for the rest of your life and alternatives for balancing blood pressure.  that protocol. Research supports health coaching as a viable option to positively impact blood pressure without medication. I provide specific nutrient and mineral deficiencies to consider. Additionally, HeartMath® breathing techniques and LifeWave’s light therapy patches support heart health. 

    It’s important to understand cholesterol beyond the traditional simplified labs that measure HDL, LDL, and the ratio between the two. In this episode, we take a deep dive into cholesterol and its role in healthy hormone production for peri and menopausal women. 

    I introduce ApoB, which is an important marker if you have high LDL. ApoBis a protein that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. If ApoB levels are too high, statins may be prescribed. Stains block an enzyme in the liver called Coenzyme Q10. I then review the many potential and likely side effects of statins, again encouraging lifestyle shifts as an alternative.

    Lastly, I give my top tip for what to address first for heart disease or metabolic chaos and then wrap up with my three-part framework for a heart healthy lifestyle. 

    A heartfelt thanks to listener cocofrosty7, who left the show a glowing review of Vitally You®: “Trailblazer in wellness, always ahead of the curve when it comes to wellness, and thought-provoking wisdom and guidance.” Your review is deeply appreciated, cocofrosty7, and all reviews as they help keep the podcast going.

    The Power of Pattern Recognition to Release Emotional Suffering

    The Power of Pattern Recognition to Release Emotional Suffering

    Do you recognize any patterns in your life? As a human being, I’m sure the answer is a resounding yes. When you find yourself defaulting to an unwanted pattern, you can choose to ignore it or do the work to clear it. In this episode, I unpack the deep connection between thoughts, beliefs, and actions, as well as what I do when I start reliving old patterns that don’t serve me.

    In the past few months, I found myself believing that no one understands me, I don’t have room in my personal life for my work, and that the people I love the most don’t respect my career. The busy holiday season brought me back to the years when I was raising my children and supporting my husband’s career. It’s been a long time since these thoughts have come up, but it was an important reminder that life is about presence, not perfection. 

    When I found myself feeling depleted and stagnant, I took an honest look at my sleep, nutrition, movement, and mindset. I leaned into the practices that have supported me in the past, such as doing my sunrise and sunset routines, getting on my Power Plate, and mirror gazing. Most importantly, when I felt resistance or constriction, I became really curious about it and worked to reframe the thoughts that would appear in those moments. 

    Listen in to hear how you can cultivate space to release unconscious thought patterns and create a strategy to free yourself from the beliefs that hold you back.

    Topics Covered: 

    • Why it’s so important to recognize patterns in your life
    • Signs that you’re experiencing a crisis of confidence
    • Understanding how your thoughts impact your beliefs and actions

    • My advice to anyone who feels trapped by their unconscious patterns

    A Calming Meditation to Soothe Emotional Triggers

    A Calming Meditation to Soothe Emotional Triggers

    In today’s episode, I discuss the emotional experiences that are magnified during the holidays and the extremes of navigating the healing process. I invite you to sit with me for a few moments while I lead a meditation to soothe emotional triggers and provide a pillow of support. It’s a potent time of the year and I want to stick with you on this journey back to yourself.  

    First, I guide you through how to find a comfortable position and begin to connect with your body. What does your breath feel like? Allow physical touch as you bring attention to all parts of yourself. 

    From there, start to notice the sensations and vibrations throughout your electric body. Where do you feel tingling? When you bring attention to a part of your body, you can understand what’s happening in that part of the body. This light body is your vital life force. 

    As you are present in your light body, I share a visualization technique to encapsulate your earth body with a golden light. Then, slowly acknowledge an emotional trigger as you release it from the heart. Can your golden light flow into the heart, clearing energy with warmth and ease? You have the power to be present with your feelings and care for them.

    I’m thinking about you, the Vitally You community, with gratitude, respect, and compassion. No matter what you are going through, I hope you feel supported and held. Listen to this episode for a meditation that will guide you into a container of compassion. I will see you the week of January 9th. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    If you are enjoying these conversations, help me hit 100 reviews in celebration of my 100th episode! It would be a wonderful Christmas gift. Please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends. Thank you.

    Three Coaching Tips to Thrive During the Holidays

    Three Coaching Tips to Thrive During the Holidays

    In today's episode, I share three coaching tips to help you thrive during the holidays and explore how these self-care strategies can raise energy, shift perspective, and promote healing. I also provide specific examples to help integrate these tips into your daily life beyond the holiday season.

    Tip #1: Give yourself permission to take timeouts when with extended family or during large gatherings. Carving out time for yourself will keep your energy tank properly refueled. I detail why I call these the “islands of respite.”

    Tip #2: Practice a 12-hour fast and be mindful that your daily habits include consuming protein, fiber, and fat. Also, make sure you’re staying hydrated and properly digesting and eliminating. I illustrate how this allows the body to properly reset and heal throughout the day and night. 

    Tip #3: Use the Freeze Frame five-step HeartMath technique to shift you from a triggered state to a state where you can heal. I share why this is a powerful tool to call upon our Higher Self and observe the beneficial shifts. 

    Plus, I detail an exciting health tech startup called The Metapause that wants to change the menopause narrative and experience for women. I share how my own menopause story was related to my 2011 health crisis involving a pacemaker, various doctors, and learning the role of hormonal health beyond our physical structure. I want to invite you to evaluate every aspect of your life in support of an easier menopause transition and healing in a healthy way.

    Listen to this episode for three coaching tips to help you thrive during the holiday, plus information on an exciting new health tech startup that wants to change the menopause narrative. How do these tips land for you? I would love to hear your perspective. 

    If you are enjoying these conversations, help me hit 100 reviews in celebration of my 100th episode! It would be a lovely holiday treat. Please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends. Thank you.

    Improve Your Health, Vitality, and Energy: The Benefits of Algae with Catharine Arnston, Founder of ENERGYbits

    Catharine’s journey into the world of algae began in 2008 after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and her oncologist advised an alkaline diet.

Catharine illustrates the health and diet benefits of two types of blue-green microalgae — chlorella and spirulina — and notes the spiritual essence of spirulina as the highest vibrational food on earth. 

    Then, Catharine explains how mitochondria generate cellular energy in the body and the many reasons why it's considered “the powerhouse.” She also shares why damaged mitochondria DNA can lead to treating health and two ways to protect mitochondria in support of health and longevity. Plus, Catharine provides the historical relevance of spirulina and evolutionary studies around human aging.

    Part Six, The Well-Lived Life, by Gladys McGarey, M.D. Spend Your Energy Wildly

    Spend Your Energy Wildly is the topic for Part 6, the final episode in our six-part book series. Gladys’ teaching is that living well is a matter of learning how to steer your energy toward life. I recap the previous five lessons and illustrate how to receive the lessons and love from each moment.

I end the episode with Gladys’ six-part practice on how to embrace and appreciate the gift of life.

We all have sovereignty over our energy. I share a moment from my life when my husband and I were inspired by families in our church to adopt children of our own. I discovered the capacity of both my light and darkness while raising five children, but I had the agency to expand and move toward light energy. 

    I also illustrate Gladys’ practice on how to embrace life with a series of questions for inquiry so life can grow and expand with you. Can you feel life’s boundless energy moving throughout your body? This message is a reminder to embrace the wildness of life around you.

    Book Chat Series, Part 3 of 6, Love is the Most Powerful Medicine, "The Well-Lived Life, by Gladys McGarey, M.D.

    Book Chat Series, Part 3 of 6, Love is the Most Powerful Medicine, "The Well-Lived Life, by Gladys McGarey, M.D.

    Thank you for joining me last week for Part 2 of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 3 of the book where Gladys writes that love is more powerful than any medicine you can take. I share personal stories about love from my own upbringing and the greatest unconditional love story ever told. I end the episode with Gladys’ Love Yourself Into Healing visualization practice to give space for love to trickle in. 

    My “head start” in life wasn’t in a wealthy or influential family. It was in love. When I experienced a family crisis while a freshman in college, I still knew that I was loved and valued. Even in feelings of loneliness, the love remained. I share the greatest love story ever told, Jesus, as a true model of unconditional love and our connection to Divine Source energy. 

    Gladys writes that the power of love is undervalued and overlooked. Love has guided my own life, toward self-forgiveness and in release of rage. To illustrate the vibration of love, I tell Gladys’ story about the Carlsbad Caves and how one small light can dispel the darkness. Love is what can breathe life into any emotionally helpless situation. 

    I share Gladys’ Love Yourself Into Healing visualization practice in honor of embracing the journey toward love. There is transformation when we can get quiet, listen, and be compassionate with ourselves. This is where we have dominion and power. 

    Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us. Let love be the trickle to guide you along the journey of life. Check in with your heart. Do you feel able to give and receive love? Please reach out. I would love to hear from you.

    The Well-Lived Life by Gladys McGarey: A Six-Part Series on Happiness, Health, and Longevity

    The Well-Lived Life by Gladys McGarey: A Six-Part Series on Happiness, Health, and Longevity

    Thank you for joining me last week for Part One of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 2 of the book where Gladys writes about “the trickle” and three hindrances to confront in order to realign with life. I share how emotional pain is related to forgiveness and shame and the ways it can hold us hostage from our fullest range of life force energy. I end the episode with Gladys' movement practice for letting go and turning our attention back to love. 

    During my marriage crisis, I aligned with the energy of my family to see the trickle moving through the flow of life and our commitment to our children. When we’re in pain, we tend to stop moving, but in reality, movement is the solution to keep our energy system flowing. 

    I share Gladys’ specific practice with hand gestures to deal with blockages and alleviate emotional pain. In order to navigate the pain and find the trickle, we must move something in our life.

    For a true release in support of your life force, I share Gladys’ process for letting go and letting energy flow. I recently used this process to work out my feelings about the U.S. medical system. I stretched, I danced, I pounded, I jumped — and I felt amazing. Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us. Let movement guide and revitalize your life force energy. Is there something in your life that’s asking to be moved? I would love to hear from you.

    The Well Lived Life by Gladys McGarey, M.D. a Six Part Book Chat with Dana

    Thank you for joining me for part one of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 1 of the book where Gladys writes about "turning towards life" regardless of the circumstances and using your desires as the impetus to move through challenging seasons. I share Gladys' concept of finding your "juice," a term she uses to describe your vital life force or soul's purpose. I end the episode with Gladys' process for discovering your juice when you feel detached from it.

    I have always believed that health is deeper than the physical body, which is why I love the full mind-soul-body, functional medicine lens. Everything is woven together and connected to and through us, from the inside out. When the electrical conduction of my heart burned out, I learned how every experience teaches you something along the way. When things get messy and chaotic, Gladys encourages us to “turn towards life,” a time to find our life force and access our “juice.” 

    I also share how I was recommended to go the pharmaceutical route during my health crisis and how all areas of our lives must be taken into consideration. For a life filled with true vitality and longevity, I illustrate Gladys’ six-step system filled with wisdom for taking slow, gradual steps toward finding your juice. Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us. What did you discover this week about your juice? I would love to hear from you.

    A Meditation and the Power of Meditation in our Post Modern Digital Age

    A Meditation and the Power of Meditation in our Post Modern Digital Age

    In today's postmodern digital age, the energies are moving rapidly. Are you feeling the speeding up of time? In today's episode I talk about the importance of making peace with your history and emotional trauma so that you are prepared for the uptick in the energies and have resilience and coherence daily.  Meditation helps us take personal dominion over our thoughts, emotional experiences and our triggers. In this episode, I’m recording solo, sharing my reflections on the world’s emotional state, followed by a guided meditation. 

    Meditation is the act of purposefully guiding our attention to an internal still point to quiet the mind. Harmony happens when the mind is brought to a still point of focus —  I believe it’s one of the most valuable tools of our time. There is a groundswell of change in our world, and you may feel as if resolution is out of reach. But I’m here to share with you that everything is solvable. 

    Listen in to learn more about how meditation can support and solve what feels insurmountable in order to harness the intelligence and intuition that comes from our hearts and souls.

    Relationships and Longevity

    Relationships and Longevity

    You may have noticed there wasn’t an episode last week. That’s because I’ve spent two weeks working on this topic: relationships relative to longevity. I share how relationships seem fractured since the pandemic and my own challenges connecting.  My perspective feels rocky, but there is a desire to lean into human connection with each of you and continue sharing in hopes of strengthening community and our bond to one another. While the national mood and media would have us focus on our differences, our humanity invites us to lean into our commonalities.  

    In this episode, I talk about the Blue Zone communities around the globe, where humans have the most longevity and lifespan. I also detail a Harvard study on adult development which says that relationships are the key to happiness — not professional success, wealth, or education. 

    Listen in to hear how relationships are the key to healthy longevity, current data and research about life expectancy, and my outlook on my relationship to connection and desire to continue showing up with and for all of you if hearing my voice weekly is beneficial.

    If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends. And if my voice is a voice you want to hear, please reach out and let me know. From my heart to yours. 

    Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

    Topics Covered: 

    • The Blue Zone communities around the globe 
    • Harvard study on adult development 
    • Decline of life expectancy in the US
    • Relationship decline and mental health 
    • My feelings around connection after my Bali trip
    • How do we find deeper in-person connection?
