The Power to Improve Your Health is In Your Hands!
Discussing our episode with Dr. Rhonda Patrick & determining if you are an empath!
So much of the future of your longevity and physical and mental health is in your control, and understanding a bit of the biochemistry of what makes you “you” can have a tremendous impact on your life.
Our guest this week is Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a biochemist and nutrition, aging and disease prevention expert, who joins us to break down the simple steps you can take to improve your sleep, fitness, mood, and even how to successfully avoid cancer and dementia. . Dr. Patrick is the founder of FoundMyFitness which is a fantastic resource for all things fitness, health, and wellness, and she is a sought-after expert on everything from supplements to gut health to the biology of literally everything that makes us tick.
Dr. Patrick explains the connection of poor mental health and increased inflammation in the body and provides simple steps to how you can reduce inflammation easily with lasting results. We discuss how to incorporate exercise into your daily routine by having “exercise snacks,” 2-3 minute short high intensity workouts throughout the day which can drastically reduce cognitive decline!
Then, for our MBB Explores, after seeing how much y’all loved our episode on “Highly Sensitive People,” Mayim and Jonathan decided to explore the features, facts, misperceptions, and biological basis of empaths. Are empaths the same as HSPs? You might think you know, but you'll have to tune in to find out! Also, we take a few empath quizzes to find out what type of empaths we might be... Take the empath quiz yourself and let us know in the comments what your score was!
We hope you enjoyed these Breakdown episodes! See you in the comments!

Just in case this helps anyone, since I didn't do a good job of explaining it during the Live yesterday...
The supp.co website is an effort to bring some sanity to the unregulated supplement market. When you buy a supplement, you have absolutely no idea whether what's in the bottle actually contains what it says it contains or the quality of it. Supp.co provides a "TrustScore" for a pretty large number of brands/supplements. They don't sell anything ...just rate them.
The TrustScore rates the following qualities of the brand and supplement itself: Inactive Ingredients, Manufacturing Standards, Testing Benchmarks, Product Quality, Product Certifications, Technical Innovation, Brand Certifications.
The website has other features as well, but I won't got into those.
These themes emerge today - I ended up writing a post about an 'empathy' failure on my part, perhaps, but definitely on the part of a friend of mine who I now much forgive - without expecting apology - and then on KSKQ, the Morning Show host, Holly Lorien Adams, was interviewing "SK Cothren" https://www.skcothren.com/free on the same topic of Empathy!
