In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Trying to get enough water a day can be so confusing. Is is eight 8-ounce glasses a day? Or is it a gallon of water a day? Am I even getting close?

The reality is if you don’t drink enough water, you’re going to feel lethargic, stiff and achy throughout your entire body, bloated, constipated, and generally unwell…which in turn, impacts your motivation and drive to do anything else fitness or nutrition related!

There are some BIG mistakes that people often make when it comes to drinking water. And it has nothing to do with electrolytes or alkaline water or anything fad-related. In fact, those trends are just distracting from the real mistakes that people are making.

So grab a glass of water (you’re gonna need it while you’re listening to this) and let’s get your hydration where it needs to be - your body is going to thank you for it!

433. Specific Eating Habits to Reduce Cholesterol 5:47

20 dni temu5:47

Did you know that about 10% of Americans have high cholesterol, and many don’t even know it. The reality is as we age, we become more likely to have elevated cholesterol levels, which can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. And while treating high cholesterol can be as easy as picking up a new prescription at the pharmacy, what if you want to tackle it drug-free? Listener Carolyn asks**:** “I currently have high cholesterol and really don't want to take medication. I am hoping to get my numbers down by diet and exercise. What’s my best plan of action on the nutrition front? Can I still have occasional splurges? And if so, are there any splurges that I really need to avoid all together that will impact my cholesterol numbers?” To tackle Carolyn’s question, we’ve invited Dr. Federica Amati back to the podcast. Dr. Amati works as Head Nutritionist for the personalized health company, Zoe , and she’s written two fantastic books, Recipes for a Better Menopause and Every Body Should Know This. When it comes to knowing exactly how to eat best during midlife - without being extreme or restrictive about it, which I love! - she knows what really works.

I post lots of training and how-to videos on social media, and most of them get anywhere between 25,000 and 100K views if they’re really hitting. But right now, I have 3 videos right now that have reached about 1 million views. Whoa! You wanna know what they all have in common? They aren’t about complicated strength training moves, nutrition advice or ways to stay motivated. They address the very real, every day challenge of climbing down on the floor and getting back up again with ease. If this is something you currently struggle with, you’re not alone. And if it’s not you yet, don’t get caught thinking this is just a problem for a much older version of you. Losing your ability to climb down easily & get back up again doesn’t happen overnight - it happens over years and the decline usually starts in your 40’s.

We’re all very familiar with the different systems of our body. From digestion to reproduction to muscular, we know when they’re working well, and when they’re not. But what if I told you that one of the MOST important systems in your body is probably one you never think about? This week I’m welcoming Anna Rahe to the podcast to deep dive our crucial, but often unknown, fascial system. When Anna was 18 years old, she felt and moved like she was 80…everything from her gut to her muscles just ached. Unable to get any clear answers from every elite professional, which began her journey into understanding the body’s most pervasive and complex system, the fascial network. She is a member of the Fascia Research Society and has done extensive study in the fields of physics, biomechanics, and a myriad of movement methods and manual body work techniques. Tune in as Anna and I delve into the often-overlooked topic of fascia, the connective tissue that plays a crucial role in overall body health. Anna will teach us all about the structure and function of fascia, its relationship with hydration, the signs of unhealthy fascia, and how aging and hormonal changes can impact its health. If you’re looking for the missing piece on how you can feel your best everyday, this might it! More Resources & Links Learn more from Anna Rahe on her website! Dealing with constant back & hip pain?
