    Build A Better Brain: The Key to Thriving in Uncertain Times

    Welcome to a transformative season of Healthy Housecalls With Angel! In this new season, we’re unpacking one of the most powerful yet overlooked keys to thriving in midlife: your brain health.

    Stress, fear, and uncertainty are at an all-time high, but what if I told you that nurturing your brain health could transform how you navigate life’s storms even in the midst of disruption and uncertainty so that you can thrive, not just survive?

    Your brain is more than just an organ - it's the command center of your mood, metabolism and sense of joy. Your brain is your body's control center, orchestrating your thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being. But chronic stress, poor nutrition, sleepless nights and modern-day pressures can wreak havoc on your neurotransmitters—the chemical messengers like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA that regulate mood, metabolism, focus, and ultimately your happiness.

    In this season, we’ll explore:

    The Science of Brain Health: How neurotransmitters like serotonin support emotional balance, dopamine drives motivation, and GABA promotes calm and how you can get them all in balance.

    Stress, Burnout and Brain Resilience: Why prolonged stress disrupts brain function, impacts memory, and causes mood swings—and how to rebuild your brain’s resilience with simple mental fitness exercises.

    Brain-Healthy Functional Nutrition: How the foods you eat directly fuel your brain, stabilize your mood, and boost your cognitive clarity.

    You’ll learn actionable, science-backed strategies to restore balance, enhance focus, and bring joy back into your daily life—no matter what life throws your way.

    If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, foggy, or disconnected, this season is your guide to transforming your mind, mood, and metabolism naturally. Let’s rescue your brain health and unlock your full potential together.

    Tune in now and set the foundation for a healthier, more vibrant you!

  • Intuition As Inspiration With Special Guest: Mariyah Thompson
    2023/06/15
    In these complex times, with life moving at such a hurried pace, we all yearn for quick answers and simple solutions to life problems that really aren't all that simple. 'Life hacks' are more prevalent now than ever before. Feeling so overwhelmed with information coming from so many corners, it can be comforting to turn to specialists and experts who appear to have the skills to show us the way. But asking others to help us make important life decisions can actually leave us feeling more lost and confused than ever. Tune into this special episode with my very special guest, Mariyah Thompson, Biophilic Designer and Horticultural  Educator to learn how honoring intuition can be the simple solution we're searching for to regain a sense of control over our lives and reclaim our own innate power. About Mariyah:Mariyah Thompson is a Biophilic Designer, Horticultural Educator and lover of all things nature-related. She was born and raised in Southern New Jersey where she learned the importance of nurturing intuition from her beloved grandmother.  Mariyah is a graduate of Towson University (2020) and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Applied Adult Disability Studies.  She credits the stillness she cultivated during the global pandemic for awakening a deep desire to "go deeper" within herself. She acknowledges her grandmother's passing - also during the pandemic - as a time in  which she answered her heart's calling to pivot from her work in healthcare to her love of all things plant and nature related. Currently, Mariyah is the Manager of Residential and Commercial Horticultural Services at B. Willow in the Remington community of Baltimore, Maryland. Mariyah states frequently, "adding botanical designs to spaces across Baltimore and encouraging people to see themselves as a part of nature is what I love most about my work. We are one.  I am so grateful to be in the position that I am, following my intuition, to do work that I truly love."  Mariyah lives in Baltimore and spends most of her days celebrating life with her fiance, practicing meditation and yoga and "doing things that bring me joy." Intuition As Inspiration And Initiation: Show Notes Intuition, a profound and often elusive phenomenon, holds the power to serve as both a wellspring of inspiration and a catalyst for initiation. Rooted in our subconscious mind, intuition can guide us toward innovative ideas, uncharted paths, and transformative breakthroughs. It whispers, urging us to explore beyond the boundaries of logic and reason, and invites us to embrace the unknown. As a potent force of insight, intuition bridges the gap between imagination and action, encouraging us to trust our instincts and embark on journeys fueled by inner wisdom.In this episode, I am joined by Mariyah Thompson, who studied Exercise Science from Towson University and is currently working at B. Willow, a bespoke plant boutique in Baltimore, to talk about the power of intuition. Mariyah shares how she managed to make a career shift into biophilic design from Exercise Science, why people get stuck on the judgment about what they should be doing, and the importance of biophilic design and nature exposure in people’s day-to-day lives in the workplace. She also talks about the benefits of celebrating small wins and what it means to have a mirror for yourself, even when there is no mirror. Tune in to learn more about this and other exciting topics!Timestamps[04:35] Mariyah Thompson’s background information[05:36] How Mariyah managed to make a career shift into plants and nature[08:05] The inner landscape that enabled Mariyah to realize that Exercise Science is not for her and made the change[17:03] Why do people get stuck on the judgment of the outside about what they should be doing?[20:26] The importance of Bioliphic design and nature exposure in people’s day-to-day lives in the workplaces[26:28] The benefits of celebrating the small wins [30:30] What it means to have a mirror for yourself, even when there is no mirror[34:30] Does Mariyah have a journal practice?[49:16] Mariyah’s trip to Mexico and how it opened her life[57:12] The secrets to overcoming fear and living a more courageous life[01:01:56] The practices that can help nurture the intuition of moving forward regardless of life challenges.Notable quotes:“The smallest shift can create the most fertile ground for growth and awareness.”“The biggest hurdle for most of us to get over is the judgment on the outside about what we should be doing.”“Everything you need is already within you.”“There is fear, but it’s deciding and trusting in yourself that you are going to do what you want to do and fulfill whatever you want to fulfill because you trust yourself.”Upcoming events:September 19 to 24, The Design the Life You Deserve Retreat that will be in Bacalar, Mexico.  Connect with me:Website: https://angelvshannon.com/Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/...

  • Getting Better With Berberine
    2023/04/25
    Welcome to Season Three of Healthy Housecalls With Angel. In this episode, we'll be diving into the topic of berberine, a natural compound that has been gaining popularity in the health and wellness community for its many potential benefits.Berberine is a plant alkaloid that has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to treat a variety of ailments. In more recent years, it has gained popularity as a dietary supplement due to its potential health benefits such as helping to lower blood sugar levels, improve cholesterol levels, and reduce inflammation. This episode is for anyone who is interested in natural remedies and alternative approaches to health and wellness. It's also for those who may be dealing with issues related to elevated blood sugar or cholesterol levels, or who are looking for ways to reduce their risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and  health conditions that are associated with inflammation in the body. In this episode, we'll be discussing what berberine is, how it works in the body, and the potential benefits and risks of taking it. So, whether you're a health enthusiast or just curious about natural remedies, you won't want to miss this episode. Let's get started!Overview: In recent years, berberine has gained popularity as a dietary supplement due to its many potential health benefits including: Lowering blood sugar levels: Berberine can help to regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver.Lowering cholesterol levels: Berberine can help to lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting the production of cholesterol in the liver and enhancing the excretion of cholesterol from the body.Modulating the gut microbiota: Berberine can help to improve digestive health by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, reducing the abundance of harmful bacteria, and reducing inflammation.Modulating the gut-brain axis: Berberine can also modulate the gut-brain axis, which is the communication pathway between the gut and the brain. This can help to improve mood and reduce anxiety and depression.Reduce inflammation: Berberine has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce inflammation in the gut and throughout the body. This can help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer.Berberine And The Menopausal Woman:Berberine's action in helping to lower cholesterol levels by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver and enhancing its excretion from the body  is important for postmenopausal women as they are at a higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease due to changes in their hormonal profile. The improvement in insulin sensitivity can help accelerate weight loss and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes that can occur during menopause.  Berberine may help modulate the gut microbiota by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, reducing the abundance of harmful bacteria, and reducing inflammation, which is important for overall digestive health and may help manage symptoms such as bloating, constipation or diarrhea that may occur during menopause. Safety and Cautions:Some research has shown that berberine may be considered safe for short-term use in persons who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, but long-term safety data is limited. It is also important to note that berberine may interact with certain medications, so it is important to talk to a healthcare provider, professional pharmacist and clinical herbalist before taking berberine as a supplement.Overall, we hope that this episode provides a helpful introduction to berberine and its potential benefits, and that it inspires you to continue exploring natural remedies and alternative approaches to health and wellness.Connect with me:Website: https://angelvshannon.com/Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sevahealthgroup LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelvshannon/Seva Health: https://sevahealthgroup.com/Courses and Coaching In The Seva Circle: http://www.getfitandfunctionalforlife.comGet Exclusive Content: https://www.patreon.com/healthyhousecallswithangelVisit Fullscripts, our trusted clinical partner:  https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/sevawellcare/signup***Important Disclaimer: information presented in this podcast is for health education purposes only and should not be construed or considered to be medical, legal, or financial advice.

    Divorce. Death. Loss of a job or trouble with the teenage kids - no matter what, life is filled with change and challenges. Coping with the stress of modern life isn't easy, especially when you're trying to do it alone. Therapy can be the biggest link to finding purpose, passion, and meaning in life again. However, not all therapeutic relationships work out for the best. Furthermore, life changes and people change which means our goals in therapy can change too.

  • Karma and The Sacred Pause
    2022/11/29
    What would it take to feel renewed every day? To not feel the FOMO, frenzy, and the overwhelming 'always-behind-the-eight-ball' feeling of modern life? Instead of waiting all year for a vacation to smooth out the bumps and tensions in life, instead of waiting until Friday night to shed  our weariness, what if we could take time out every day? Live a renewed life every day? Be refreshed, reinvigorated and re-inspired every day? The energy, new perspective, creativity and overall sense of harmony and well-being that results from a sacred pause is life changing - not just for ourselves but for those we love and care for. Sacred pauses teach us the true law of Karma - we create the world we want not from what we wish but from who we are. In this episode I share with you a reading from my personal library, Welcoming the Unwelcome: Wholehearted Living In A Broken Hearted World by Pema Chödrön, American-born Buddhist nun, beloved wisdom teacher and author of over twenty books.  Book description:In her first new book of spiritual teachings in over seven years, Pema Chödrön offers fresh wisdom, heartfelt reflections, and the signature humor and insight that have made her a beloved guide during turbulent times.

  • Food, Mood & Mental Health: Is Your Food Making You Sick?
    2022/08/02
    Food, Mood & Mental Health: Is Your Food Eating Making You Sick?It’s summer. It’s the season of cookouts, weekend grilling and farmer's markets. One of life's biggest pleasures is eating and we have so many delicious and tantalizing foods to choose from. Take one look at social media and you’ll know what I mean — food is everywhere and it looks so good. And it doesn’t stop there. We also see loads of recommendations about diets – the Mediterranean diet, paleo, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, plant based and the problem is they all sound right. They really do appear to be ‘good for you meal plans. Who can argue against eating more raw veggies, right? But the truth is, some foods can cause really unhealthy reactions in our bodies, they can promote inflammation and cause serious symptoms and even damage. Time and time again I’ve seen this in my clinical practice. I’ve had hundreds of patients in my clinical practice come to me with symptoms that are telltale signs of food sensitivities – gas, bloating, abdominal fullness, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, heartburn, skin issues and rashes – and then symptoms that aren’t so obvious such as headaches, depression, anxiety. That's why I want to talk about this very important topic.Today I’m asking, are the foods you’re eating making you sick? Even the foods that are considered ‘healthy?’ Who this episode is for: If you’ve had stomach issues like gas, bloating, constipation, heartburn, reflux,  feeling full before you’re actually full – this episode is for you. If you’ve had headaches, joint pains, changes in your mood, difficulty losing weight, difficulty sleeping – this episode is also for you.I want you to know exactly why certain foods can stress  your immune system by triggering the release of chemicals and cytokines that create inflammation, a leaky gut and debilitating symptoms.  In this episode we’re taking a deep dive and answering your questions: food allergies and food sensitivities – what’s the difference? how allergies and sensitivities develop – are you born with them or can they develop over time? can food allergies cause you to have trouble losing weight? All of that good content and more!PLUS, here's what's inside today's show notes: 1. What are Allergies?Allergies are disorders of the immune system. More specifically, they are an overreaction of an individual’s immune system in response to a foreign, or “non-self,” substance that is perceived as harmless by most other people’s bodies. ​2. What Causes Allergies?Allergies are caused by a hyperactive immune system response. People with allergies produce an immune response to a substance in the environment that is typically harmless.3. Body Basics: Immune System 101The immune system is the body’s coordinated defense against infectious organisms and other potentially harmful invaders, called antigens. Antigens can be found on the surface of living and non-living matter such as: cells, viruses, fungi, bacteria, toxins, chemicals, drugs, and foreign particles (such as a splinter). During an immune response, the immune system recognizes and reacts to antigens by producing protective proteins, called antibodies (also termed immunoglobulins). Antibodies are y-shaped proteins, produced by cells of our immune system and are specific for each food allergen and substance. The job of antibodies is to neutralize and eliminate the allergen or foreign substance from the body. Allergic symptoms are the direct result of this process. Antibodies stick to specific antigens, making it easier for immune cells to identify and destroy the foreign invader. Some of the most common allergens include: pollen, dust, food, insect venom, animal hair and dander, mold, certain medications, latex gloves and MORE....and that's not it. There's even more inside the show notes:4.  The 3 Stages of the Immune System Response5.  Food Allergies vs Food Sensitivities...What's The Difference?6.

  • 7 Secrets for Keeping Men's Hormones In Balance
    2022/06/28
    Hormones are chemical messengers for thousands of biological processes in the body. Throughout your life, these messengers play an important role in muscle and skin tone, bone health, sleep, and energy levels. Hormone imbalance can occur at any age and contribute to diseases such as osteoporosis, dementia, cancer, and heart disease. Although hormonal changes can cause significant issues, these can be treated. My patients and coaching clients are often surprised at how easy it is to improve their symptoms and how great they feel once their hormones are back in balance. If you are a man struggling with low energy, low libido, trouble sleeping or pesky weight gain – this episode is for you. And ladies, this matters for you too because research has shown that fluctuating levels of estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol can often be the root cause of many health conditions such as:Menstrual cycle irregularitiesMood swingsSleep pattern disturbancesAppetite disordersLow Sex driveAnd if left untreated chronic hormonal imbalances can cause:PMSAnovulationInfertilityAmenorrheaEndometriosisPolycystic Ovary DiseaseOsteoporosis TODAY'S SHOW NOTES:1. What are the male hormones?  Men's sexual hormones are collectively called the androgens and include: testosterone, androstenedione (andro), andros-             tenediol, di-hydro-testosterone (DHT),dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) a                   more complex form of DHEA. 2. How are the male hormones made?  All hormones are built from cholesterol and are converted into pregnenolone and 17a-hydroxypregnenolone. Pregnenolone is       the primary steroid hormone that is broken down or metabolized into all the other steroid hormones for both men and                         women. Sometimes we call pregnenolone the 'mother hormone' and cholesterol the 'grandmother.' More questions covered in this episode:3. Where are the male hormones made?4.
