   Everything Went Blank, I Went to Another Dimension - Baptism, Faith & Praying Before Bed

   Podcast Title: Very Caliente Hosts: Pablo Alsina & Jennie López Summary Pablo sets the table up front: this one is heavy on faith, and everyone is welcome to listen. The day before recording, Jennie López was baptized as an adult, and it was her own kids who took her under the water. She takes us from a Catholic upbringing and years away from church to the non-denominational church her kids begged to go back to, a hard year leaving corporate for entrepreneurship, and the prayers she now says out loud with her husband every night. Pablo shares the mealtime prayers his family has kept for 50 years, plus a few nuggets for believers and non-believers alike. And when her daughter took her under, everything went blank.

   Multitasking Es un Mito - Brain Health, Longevity & Community with Dr. Alfredo Lopez

   Podcast Title: Very Caliente Hosts: Pablo Alsina & Jennie López Summary A full Spanish language episode, and the show's first medical doctor. Dr. Alfredo Lopez trained in genetics in Colombia and wanted to live in the lab, until a village asked him one simple question: are you a doctor or aren't you? He trained in neurology in Chicago and in stroke at Indiana University, then said yes to a 5am Spanish radio show that sent Latino patients flooding into his county hospital clinic. They told him the system was failing them, so he opened Alivio Medical Center on weekends only. It now runs five clinics and a new wellness and longevity clinic. He breaks down how to protect your brain at any age, why multitasking is a myth, mental health as a real condition versus an excuse, and why your genes are not your destiny. Main Topics • Are you a doctor or aren't you: the question that changed his path • A 5am Spanish radio show and a clinic that doubled • Why the system was not built for Latino patients • Opening Alivio on weekends only, and 18 years without a free Saturday • Bringing X-rays, ultrasound and specialists under one roof • Brain health: metabolism, muscle, sleep, connection and avoiding toxins • Loneliness as the real epidemic, and why dancing helps • Multitasking is a myth: 15 minute blocks at 100% • Mental health as a real condition versus an excuse • Epigenetics: your genes are not your destiny Intriguing Quotes “Multitasking is a myth.” - Dr. Alfredo Lopez “The real epidemic is loneliness.” - Dr. Alfredo Lopez “The best alcohol is zero.” - Dr. Alfredo Lopez “It's not deterministic.
