   Physical Trauma - Why is having a body so crap and what do we do about it?

   Having a body is hard. You've got to look after it for 70+ years and most of the parts are squishy, but somehow we're meant to keep this thing operating without replacements for significantly longer than the expected lifespan of your average car. How do you do it? How do you fix it when it's gone wrong and it's damaged? How do you deal with the emotional fallout of physical trauma? This week, we confront this along with some fun stories of busting our own butts. 🧿More on: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines (https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines) ♡ Ask questions and support us at #patreon ♡ https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines 🔗🌲: https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotines 💚 Get healthy: https://www.dalife.lt

   The (only) correct way to eat?

   Zakim and Chessie talk about an eating method that seems to control human hunger in an especially sane and healthy way. Eat the same things, but experience a benefit? Seems like a lie, until you realize that you can try this at home for free. Zakim: I lost a kilo without trying to lose weight. And I've tried every diet: keto, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, paleo, Mediterranean, you name it. And I've learned something from each one. But this is one of the critical foundations for health. And you don't have to buy anything expensive. Health belongs to the masses, that's why this information reaches you at zero cost to consumer. Chessie: And you said you bought each book? Zakim: Yup. As long as I can help others, it's worth every penny.

    Health specialist tells y'all how to sleep properly

    This is an episode about sleep health. Recording without sleep is miserable. Thankfully, we have Zakim, who knows vastly more about sleeping well than I do. /// Sleep better list: No caffeine 10 hours before sleep (Caffeine has a long half-life and disrupts sleep) No alcohol 6 hours before sleep (Alcohol might make you sleepy and help fall asleep, but it disrupts the quality of the sleep via interrupting the sleep cycle) No food 3-4 hours before sleep (Digesting food reduces sleep quality, might trigger GERD) Low liquids a few hours before sleep (A full bladder can wake people up) Low carb breakfast, Medium carb dinner (Because higher insulin promotes sleepiness, you don't want to feel sleepy in the afternoon, as then you'll reach for (another) a cup of coffee too late in the day) Supply of fresh air in the room during sleep (Low oxygen, high carbon dioxide in the air is shown to give brain fog and headaches. Obviously not a restful state to be in.) 18-19 degrees Celsius in the room during sleep (This one has quite some variability, but your body needs to cool down in order to achieve peak sleep quality. Sweating or shivering during sleep isn't a sign of proper rest.) 40-55% humidity in the room [Achievable with indoor thermometer with hydrometer] (Too dry, nose shuts closed, the mouth opens up = snoring and possible APNEA, devastating for health. Too humid, mold grows and you can develop respiratory issues, allergies and even more serious conditions, up to and including cancer.) Low light exposure 2 hours before sleep [candle light, or low brightness light at ground level, no digital screens] (Melatonin production is halted when we are exposed to bright light. Some people might be more sensitive than others, experiment with varying degrees of dim lighting.) Boring, relaxing activities to make you sleepy, no high dopamine activities. (Dopamine inhibits melatonin production. If the only time you're not creating dopamine is when you go to bed, this often triggers anxiety and restless thoughts- at the worst time possible.) Address mental issues and anxiety which is present during the night. (Same issue as above. Do not expect medication to cure sleep issues caused by underlying mental health issues.) Experiment with the optimal sleeping mattress, (wave) pillows (neck, lower back, between the knees) (If your body is tense during/ after sleep, it's not repairing as well as it could.) Address any body issues causing pain during the night. (Same issue as above.) /// Studies mentioned: https://hms.harvard.edu/news/sleep-death-gut (https://hms.harvard.edu/news/sleep-death-gut) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3947517/ (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3947517/) 🧿More on: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines (https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines) ♡ Ask questions and support us at #patreon ♡ https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines (https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines) https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin (https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin)es

    Over-Diagnosis : Do we really need to all be sick?

    When there are profit incentives to diagnose someone with something, particularly in the mental health space, it sure seems to make the whole world sicker.

    Dopamine Drip Activism

    This week on Healthy Hearts, the usual cast of idiots discuss the madness at the heart of social media activism. Are you changing the world or just making yourself nuts?

    Ego Addicted (Marketers Can Eat My Butt)

    We're all fighting for our lives and wallets against an eternal tide of garbage trying to rob us of our last penny by telling us how amazing our lives will be if we just buy their crap. How do you deal with the permanent agony of being advertised to? Chessie and Zakim hunt for answers to this age old question. 🧿More on: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines (https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines) ♡ Ask questions and support us at #patreon ♡ https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines (https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines) https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin (https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin)es

    The Pilot - An exercise in disaster about smoking

    This was the fourth episode recorded and the only one of our early episodes that survived a hard-drive crash. I'm uploading it because it's a bit of a fun look back at what we thought the podcast should look like. Blessedly, it doesn't look like this and my editing skills are vastly improved. We also have better intro music. Chessie: I don't know why we decided to tackle smoking. 🧿More on: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines (https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines) ♡ Ask questions and support us at #patreon ♡ https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines (https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines) https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin (https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin)es

    Mental Health - THE BEGINNING OF MADNESS!

    The first of our mental health episodes which turned out to be a shockingly deep well to delve. I've no doubt we're going to have loads of these throughout the years. Zakim and Chessie were dealing with a pile of emotional issues at the time and decided to make it everyone's problem. Some giggles about the future, the past, and some surprisingly good advice on the topic of dealing with mental health issues. 🧿More on: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines (https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines) ♡ Ask questions and support us at #patreon ♡ https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines (https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines) https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin (https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin)es

    Mental Health 3 : I Love Drugs

    On this week's episode, Chessie does a regrettable American accent and Zakim provides perspective on dealing with Lithuanian mental health professionals. There is also some extensive discussion of drugs, both prescription and non-prescription as well as the overwhelming mess we're all trying to medicate ourselves out of. The question is, should we? 🧿More on: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines (https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyHeartsAndGuillotines) ♡ Ask questions and support us at #patreon ♡ https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines (https://www.patreon.com/c/healthyheartsandguillotines) https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin (https://linktr.ee/HealthyHeartsandGuillotin)es
