Today we talk with Maura Davies from the SPCA about the origination of the term "man's best friend." Then we talk with Cassie Bjork about breaking free from food-obsessed thoughts. And lastly we speak with Shawn Wells and Faraz Khan about the keys to longevity and anti-aging.

Man's Best Friend

Maura Davies is the VP of communications for the SPCA of Texas. Today she talks about the history of man's best friend, AKA the dog. The loyalty and respect between a man and his dog is amazing, and we talk about the real story behind the term "man's best friend." We also talk with her about animal welfare practices like spaying and neutering and checking the pavement before walking your dog.

Breaking Free From Food-Obsessed Thoughts

Cassie Bjork joins us to talk about breaking free from food-obsessed thoughts. We can be so hard on ourselves to eat right, that sometimes just THINKING about food takes over every aspect of our day. Having a slice of cake or some french fries every now and again is 100% OK...as long as you make that choice and feel good about it. Feeling guilty and remorseful about the food you eat is not healthy.Cassie also talks about how to respond to remarks from your family about your eating habits. This is such a great topic because a lot of times if your lifestyle choices don't line up with someone else's, you catch some hate for it. If you are trying out a new diet and your family just doesn't understand it, listen to Cassie's tips on how to deal with it and respond respectfully.

Keys to Longevity

Shawn Wells and Faraz Khan join us today to talk all about longevity. We all want the secrets that will help us live a long, healthy, and beautiful life. But, we have a lot going against us. Things like technology and the new 5G network...this is making us humans do everything at a faster speed with no time for rest. The prevalence of fast food and poor food quality is doing nothing but make us sick. There is an extreme lack of exercise and a huge deficiency in vitamin D, because we are staying cooped up inside all day. These are just a few things that Shawn and Faraz go over with us today. They also give us their advice on supplementation, sleep, bio-hacking for anti-aging, and a whole lot more!
