Pop Quiz: How do you feel about aging?

• Do you feel bad about your age?
• Wish you were younger?
• Go to serious lengths to come across as younger?
• Did you turn 32 AGAIN this year?

This week’s show, @carlhonore invites us to stop buying into the cult of youth, and explore what the world might look like when we do.

If you’d love nothing more than to change the way you view ageing, change the things you say about age, brush off the pressure to be ‘young’ then join us.

Words like vitality, energy, enthusiasm, vibrancy and ‘crushing it’ don’t belong to any age - they belong to the people who embody them at any age.

Carl has always made us think through his books, and challenge how we think about and do things. In Praise of Slow, challenged Hustle Culture; his book “Bolder” in 2018 challenges us to rethink aging and the notion that at a certain point we should be put out to pasture. I know you’ll love this chat.

So good. Can’t wait to hear what ahas come from it for you. Alexx x

Nervous system, somatics and what true regulation means. We go there again with a brilliant practitioner. It’s a biggy this week. It’s going to be a cause for reflection and compassion for many of us, I think!

I wanted to have @irenelyon on the show because I’ve become concerned myself about AI and the impact on education online - models hired to demo a few ‘easy exercises’ to regulate system and modules churned out by computers, funnels built by bots and everything geared to algorithm eye catching… it’s the Wild West out there and we’re playing with humans who actually need support.

What people ‘think’ doing work to regulate the system might have gone through to need it:

• War
• Physical or mental abuse
• Difficult experiences around big moves, big illnesses, bullying
• Crime or violence committing, “troubled youth”.

What experiences also can mean regulation work can be needed

• Illness, surgery, difficult births
• Contact sports
• Shaming or being in the care of “overreacting adults” as a child
• Being left to cry oneself to sleep as a baby
• Head trauma such as a fall/hitting head
• Break ups, grief, job loss

And the list goes on! We unpack the many ways to know if you’re connecting with a good person/platform to work with - how to spot ‘quick fixing red flags on the internet’ and then some of the common situations where people go through every possible treatment for whatever it is they’re experiencing as adults, only to find it stems from dysregulation.

I hope you love the show as much as I love bringing this one to you, Alexx x

You know what’s in this week’s show on metabolic health? YOU ARE.

No one is left behind in Lara’s book “The Metabolic Reset” which just came out, nor is anyone left behind on this week’s show where we explore these and so much more:

Sleep, circadian rhythms and individuality within that

Struggling to achieve ‘satiety’ after meals and how food is the OPPOSITE of ‘one way for all’!

How a deep sense of safety and relaxation are gold for metabolic function

Not achieving the results the online guru with the protocol is talking about and feeling like you are the problem - AGAIN!

Favourite hacks, tips and things to explore along your way after Lara’s decades of research and clinical practice.

And we also talk about culture, societal pressures and messages, evolution - like my survival superpower of seriously good fat storage skills for tough times 😂and Lara’s checkered history with sleep 😴

It’s real talk. Listen, share it. It’s important.

You will feel like you can explore, experiment and implement from the minute you finish the show. Enjoy, Alexx x
