The Flourishing Experiment

It’s all about protein bars, Kari checking in with Jeff Galloway, and our runner of the week, Russ Perry. Russ talks about Ragnar trail races and running in Arizona. We’re having a protein bar parade. Woo hoo! Listeners of the show, well actually friends since they have contacted us, have been asking what are Serena Marie, RD’s, favorite protein bars and why. We hear you loud and clear so “we are a answering”. It makes perfect sense why bars are so popular as they are portable, easy, and convenient. Here’s what goes down on our protein bar focused episode:  What Serena Marie, RD, looks for when selecting a protein bar WHEN (this is HUGE) to eat a protein bar Lara Bars and why Serena says the ingredient list is gorgeous Why Serena says to have the peanut butter cookie bar IF you are going to choose a Lara Bar Kind Bars and why Serena Marie, RD, has mixed feelings If Serena has a sweet tooth or not and what she has to be mindful of The strange breakfast I had before a 4.5 mile trail run with Team Healthy Kids teammate, Todd Miller Why Quest Bars are a treat and not real food enough for our Real Food Dietitian, Serena Marie, RD XO Bars and how they have a lot of fat and protein and the surprise ingredient Epic Bars which Serena likes and let’s just say I tried one (bison) and need to try some more as my first impression wasn’t a great one Bricks Bars which are made in Brooklyn, NY, use grass fed meat, whole ingredients and Serena says are so delicious Why we discuss Norway and how it brings on the “sillies” and why we want to hear from Norwegians Serena’s final recommendation when it comes to protein bars Our mantras when we go shopping so we don’t buy trigger foods We want to try more bars - just contact us through the contact form and by registering for the 5 Questions to Ask Yourself to Live the Running Lifestyle  Jeff Galloway is back, back again, but to check in to see how three weeks of running Galloway style in preparation for the Chicago and New York City Marathons are coming along. I had a lot of questions and comments about running the Galloway method and cross training, and Jeff answered them all. Like Jeff, Meb, and Dean Karnazes, I too am cross training with an ElliptiGo. Thank you ElliptiGo for sponsoring me with a “Go” (for short) for my fall marathon training. If you haven’t heard, Serena Marie, RD and I are running both the Chicago and NYC Marathon for Action for Healthy Kids. Action for Healthy Kids provides grants for school breakfast and lunch programs and fitness equipment. Donate Here! Our runner of the week, Russ Perry, claims he is not a runner, but then is convinced that he is. Don’t you love those types of runners of the week? :-) We learn about the Ragnar Trail Race in Arizona (so want to do this race!), and how to train and not train for a race. It’s kind of funny what Russ reveals and a lot of people can probably relate. :-) Contact: Serena Marie, RD:  Website: www.SerenaMarieRD.com Facebook: /SerenaMarieRD Twitter: @SerenaMarieRD Instagram: SerenaMarieRD   Jeff Galloway:  Website: jeffgalloway.com Facebook: /jeffgallowayfan Twitter: @JeffGalloway   Russ Perry:  Website: DesignPickle.com Facebook: /russperry Twitter: @russperry

251: Top Three Health Practices to Live a Flourishing Life

Author Margaret Webb (of  Older, Faster, Stronger: What Women Runners Can Teach Us AllAbout Living Younger, Longer) returns to talk about raceetiquette, body image, and ways to live a healthier, longer runninglifestyle. Serena Marie, RD, and Kari fill the Gratitude Jar thisweek and also talk about what stress and cortisol levels do to thebody. Serena recaps the Eileen C. Dugan Memorial 5K that she recently ran, and Kariupdates listeners on her back injury. Featured Guest: Author Margaret Webb Kari and Margaret Webb, from self-titled Episode48, converse about what’s going on in Margaret’s life rightnow, race etiquette, body image, the top seven ways to live ahealthy life, and much more.  Margaret has been running in her late 20s, and because of herflat feet, she was always afraid of running too long or far. One day, her sister challenged her to run a half marathon, andshe felt she couldn’t say no since her sister is thirteen yearsolder than she. After her first book came out, called  Apples To Oysters: A Food Lover’s Tour Of CanadianFarm, she felt she needed to lose a few pounds gainedwhile researching and going on tour to promote the book. She thought she’d try her hand at a marathon, and she was aboutto turn fifty years old, so she wanted to try to get into the bestshape of her life. She had an amazing fiftieth year, ran several marathons, andachieved a personal best (PB).  Older, Faster, Stronger: What Women Runners Can Teach Us AllAbout Living Younger, Longer is her memoir as anoverweight smoker and couch potato to a fit distance runner. Shealso talked to long-distance female runners while writing thebook. Her largest goal was to turn herself into a runner who couldrun for life. She found that when you get into distance running, there’sabout a ten-year arc where you continue to build your speed andstrength but you inevitably run into a slower period. Age doesn’t disappear, and it shouldn’t stop anyone fromstarting running at any age. Find the age grade running calculator that Margaret mentionshere. Kari updates Margaret on her experience of running threemarathons (and how it all started in “ Bank Of America ChicagoMarathon Race Director Carey Pinkowski” Episode 88) and how she enjoys 5Ks and half marathons muchmore. Margaret talks about the ridiculousness of thinking we are notrunners if we haven’t run the marathon distance. She thinks it’suseful and interesting to have trained for a marathon, because it’sa big goal to achieve. Many women can and do successfully run marathons well intotheir 70s, 80s, and 90s. But for most of us, in order to be healthyrunning those distances, we need to cross train a lot. Margaret wants to get into distance swimming, kayaking, andcycling. One major takeaway is to respect your body type and mechanicsin order to run injury free. Last year she ran the BAA 5Kwith some of her running club friends and had an amazing time. Thenext day, she took a running tour through Boston. Although it’ssexy to run a big-city marathon, there are other ways to run a citytoo! Margaret thinks that 5 and 10K distances should get morerespect. For the BAA 5K, you self select what corral you go in, sothose runners who are least experienced go to the first corral totry and get to the finish line faster. In the first corral, therewere elites mixed in with slower runners. For folks in the second or third corral, they had to pass theslower runners from the first corral. People were even stopping towalk in the first corral, which made it very difficult for thefaster runners who had to dodge and weave around slower folks. Itbecomes frustrating and dangerous. Her goal was to run a personal best there, and she wanted totry and place in her age group, so she wanted the conditions for afast race. For someone who’s new to a 5K race, Margaret suggests thefollowing etiquette: All races should have an etiquette guideline with the racekit/bag. For those who are on a run/walk program, during the walkingphase, you should make a signal before you start to walk and moveto the side of the race course. Kari mentions that when doing theGalloway Method, Jeff Galloway suggests to raise your arm to saythat you’re slowing down and to go to the side of the course. Properly place yourself in a corral that matches yourability. Kari mentions a book called  Runners of North America: A Definitive Guide to theSpecies by Mark Remy that satirically classifies 23different types runners in a humorous way.   Margaret talks a bit about body image in her second book. The women’s running movement is still so young and new thatmost runners have not really experimented or understood the fullrange of running opportunities that are available. The movement is fixated on the half marathon, but there aremany other distances to choose from. One thing that women has largely ignored is the USATF Masters Track andField movement, which includes shorter distances like the 100-and 200-meter races. You can get tremendously fit by doing shorter distances, andthat suits many women in terms of training. What Margaret learned from the sprinters is that they builtmuscle really well, and older women struggle to keep muscle mass,so it’s important to do activities that enhance muscle gain. Sprinters have a bit of a stronger physique, and they look less“ravaged” as Margaret puts it. The distance runners seemed to bemore frail because of less upper-body strength and miles takingtheir toll. In terms of body image, she’s spoken to quite a few women atwomen’s-only races who started out their running careers at higherweights. When she started with her running club, she was 40 poundsoverweight. Margaret talks about social contagion, which is when you runwith a group of positive people, you will catch that positivity.When you run, take some time to get into a positive mindset beforeyou run. For runners who might be insecure about their bodies, shesuggests joining a supportive, like-minded group to keep youpositive and motivated. There is a movement called City Fit Girls thatstarted in Philadelphia that’s just for women runners, and theirmantra is, “No woman left behind.” Kari recently heard about Alexis who moved from Baltimore toPhoenix, who went on a run sponsored by a running store, and shewas left behind on a run in the dark, having just moved to thearea. It’s key to also find a good running store that takes youseriously and respects you. Margaret is hungry to get back into a regular, disciplinedtraining program soon with a few goal races but more diversified(like the Thousand Islandsrace series). Kari and Margaret chat about mindset, nutrition, sleep,exercise, meditation, being with your tribe, and being outside.Kari mentions giving up alcohol and sugar, and she feels betterwithout both. It affects her sleep and the way she feels. Going through major life changes like selling a house, moving,moving away from good friends, can all be stressful. She recognizesthat getting on a stricter schedule and focusing on the six orseven keys will get her back on track. Kari gives a shout out to Canadian listener Malcolm Richmondwho got into both Chicago and New York through the lottery system.His wife ran the Chicago Marathon for the first time, and Karitells a funny story about Malcolm shouting out of a cab window.When Kari and fellow TRLS listener Liz Whitteberry were talking tomeet Serena for dinner, who do they bump into, but Malcolm!  Thank you, TRLS listeners! “Running And Art: Turn Your DreamsInto Plans” (Episode124 with Ann Rea) has received a ton of feedback!

Go to the Contact tab ofthe TRL site to let Kari know that you’ll be at the meetup! Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) This week, go-to, real-food dietitian “Speedy Scientific” SerenaMarie, RD, is grateful for science. As a dietitian, she’s investedin science, and now she’s reaping the benefits of science in termsof the different types of training she did while she was injured(HIIT workouts and strength training). Now she’s only running twicea week, but she PRed at the Eileen C. Dugan Memorial 5K. She’s grateful that by listeningto science and doing HIIT workouts, she’s been able to keep up herendurance and speed without a ton of running the last three months.She was the first woman to cross the finish line! Congratulations,Serena! Kari is grateful for Serena! She talked to Serena aboutsomething that she was taking to heart too much that wasn’t evenher own stressor, and Serena snapped her out of it by explainingthings in her scientific, millennial way. Serena Marie, RDSerena Marie, RD, explains what happens physically to your bodywhen you’re stressed out.  Don’t take on other’s issues. It’s important to minimizestressors that aren’t actually your own. When you respond to otherpeople’s stress, you are doing damage to your own body. The hormone cortisol spikes in your body, and it sets off thefight or flight reaction in your body, where your body thinksthere’s a major stress going on, even if it’s a slight emotionalstress. When we exercise, it’s a healthy stress to our bodies, but whenyou’re sitting in the car during rush-hour traffic or recounting astressful situation to your significant other at the dinner table,your liver starts to put out triglycerides (sugars) and LDLcholesterol, which is preparing your body for that flight reaction.When you’re sitting down, you’re not utilizing these sugars andcholesterol, but if you were running and your body reacted thatway, it would be good because your body could use the sugars forfuel. Try to be in the present and just breathe. Visualization ispowerful, but it’s hard to believe until you see it manifested andactually happen. Take a picture of what you visualize, and use the hashtags#TRLS and #visualization on social media. Mindset is everything,and we are our own worst enemies at times. Serena also chats about her BAA 5K experience, which she loved,because Boston is alive with the spirit of the marathon thatweekend. Being a part of the running community was amazing, shethought the starting line was well organized, and she doesn’trecall tripping over other runners or it being too crowded.  Share with us what you’re visualizing for success! Think about asuccess happening and what you’ll say or feel like. Have you usedvisualization before, and how did it work out for you? The first week of May is National Pet Week, so in next week’sepisode, Kari talks about how to run with dogs and which breeds aregreat to run with. She feels honored to chat with Rachael Ray’s go-toveterinarian, Dr. Ernie Ward. Ward is an Iron Man who talks to Kariabout Lyme disease, how to care for a bearded dragon, and muchmore.

126: Respecting Your Body Type and Mechanics: Running for the Long Haul

Jae Gruenke

Running technique expert, Jae Gruenke of The Balanced Runner™, lists the top two habits of bad running form (Hint: look at your hips and gait), return Runner of the Week, Jackie Thomas, talks about how she found TRLS and how running has changed her life, Mike Clarke, founder of the Big Beach Marathon, previews race course nutrition, and Serena Marie, RD, talks about a popular New Year’s Resolution—to cut out diet soda—and gives some no-calorie and low-calorie healthy drink options. Kari also gives shout outs and housekeeping tidbits at the end of the episode. Jae Gruenke Jae Gruenke, owner of The Balanced Runner™, rocks Kari’s world by taking a different approach in talking about proper running form. Learn how to run naturally and efficiently.  Jae tells listeners what a running form (US term) or running technique (UK term) expert does. She details how she took her Bachelor’s degree in literary studies and being a professional dancer in college to become a running technique expert. Listen to why she was offended by running and how she went about solving it. She explores why gait and posture affect our running forms. Learn about the Alexander Technique and the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education. Sometimes when runners try to change their forms, that can be the worst thing to do. She shares what makes her cringe as a form expert—including how runners swing their arms (which affects foot strike) and how people try to apply what are considered the rules of posture to running (“posture is for posts”). Jae shares how to position your head when running, how to shift your hips properly (which can lead to IT band issues if done improperly), how to lean from your ankles, and how to tip your pelvis from side to side. Learn why Jae thinks stability shoes are heavy, and they interfere with your ability to use your arch as a spring. Find a way to make running feel natural and safe. Better running form should feel easier. Jae offers free running lessons, so check out her website here. She debunks the “run from heel to toe” theory and details why running tired can actually produce a better form. She tells Kari the three reasons why cross country runners tend to have better form. Check out her Indie Go campaign here.      Runner of the Week: Jackie Thomas  “J Thom” (from Episode #72) joins Kari again to talk about how she found TRLS, why she listens, and how running has changed her life.  She found TRLS through an iTunes search and wanted something to distract her from her longer runs. She loves TRLS because it’s not intimidating and it gives practical tips. Check out her blog post that started it all here. Jackie explains her involvement in the TRLS blog.

He answers the all-important question of how Race Directors figure out how many portable toilets to have on half marathon and marathon courses. Toilets will be available around the following miles: 3.5, 5, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 21. There’s a 1:50 ratio of toilets to runners.

267: Select a Theme, Not Goals

Dr. John Ratey, expert on the correlation between brain activity and how it’s important for us to move our bodies, discusses seven ways to take control of your life, along with the link between depression and sugar, being responsible for our own well-being, and the benefits of exercise. Serena Marie, RD, talks about foods that are great for brain health. Featured Guest: Dr. John Ratey Harvard psychiatrist and foremost authority when it comes to the brain and exercise, Dr. John Ratey, discusses the correlation between sugar and depression/other diseases, being proponents for our own well-being, and the benefits of exercise. He has been on TRLS in such episodes as “John Ratey” (Episode 53), “Dr. John Ratey” (Episode 59), “Optimize Your Brain With Dr. John Ratey, Part 1” (Episode 74), and “Optimize Your Brain With Dr. John Ratey, Part 2” (Episode 75).  Companies work with people to find better ways to accommodate health in their lives, like startups working with the elderly to get them moving and to get them out into the community more. We’re near a tipping point; people recognize that we have to be more responsible for ourselves and our own health. We’re empowered by Google medicine and also knowing how to be healthier and how to increase our well-being. The biggest thing that Kari read recently is that our genes account for 5% of what can happen to us (from Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being by Deepak Chopra, MD, and Rudolph E. Tanzi, PhD). Our genetic inheritance can guide us to that wisdom that’s impacted in our genes—to be in the moment, to eat right, to get the proper amount of sleep, to connect with others, and so on. He’s excited about two different Silicon Valley firms that he’s working with who recognize that small tribes are the way to promote a better sense of well-being. He’ll be talking with an artificial intelligence group and another group that has proven that successful entrepreneurs have a passion for taking steps in helping the elderly try to improve their lives and getting them connected with others through exercise and the community. If you have been following him on Facebook, you’ll know that he’s recently been interviewed by Larry King, and to his surprise a group in CA put together a song called “Ratey-O-Active” on YouTube (like “Radioactive”). The “Super Seven” Commandments include eating right, being outside, being with your tribe, meditation, getting enough sleep, exercise, and mindset. Question: Can you get the same tribe feeling from a Facebook group that you can from meeting in person? Answer: It can be a starting point, but it’s never going to be the same. But there are a lot of different mechanisms being developed and that are already in existence (like Meetup). He talks about the November Project and walking or running up and down the stairs at Harvard Stadium. The “dopamine squirt”—the surprise or novelty of an e-mail Using our past history and our biometrics (blood pressure, pulse) as well as what we’ve felt and what we like in the past is called affective computing so that we can be guided to prompt ourselves to move—it increases your state of well-being. You do not need sugar if you are burning fat. Dick Manning is a trail runner in Montana who has eliminated sugar for years from his diet. He’s lost weight and gotten out of depression. He is using fat as his fuel (via a ketogenic diet). High concentrations of sugar lead to inflammation and putting on weight/fat. Ratey cautions jumping on the probiotics bandwagon (meaning purchasing probiotics in pill form rather than eating foods with probiotics) because we know very little about it. We’re on the cusp of learning. Serena Marie, RD, talked about probiotics on “The Hottest “Living A Running Lifestyle” Trends With Kalyn Rozanski” (Episode 118). The first prescription for someone who has gastrointestinal problems is to eliminate sugar from his or her diet. For an injured runner, try to avoid depression by doing things like upper-body aerobics (Conductorcise), boxing, kettlebells, use the elliptical, or some alternative to staying active. Exhaust yourself other ways; when you do that you are raising your heart rate. Kari has been getting in the pool to do aqua running while dealing with her back injury. He mentions a New York Times article called “Learning a New Sport May Be Good for the Brain” written by Gretchen Reynolds. It helps grow your brain. He now starts off his lectures talking about neuroplasticity. That means putting ourselves in a state where the brain cells are the most liable to grow and change. The more depressed/stressed you get, the less plastic your brain gets—the less it’s able to grow and respond to the environment. When it comes to sleep, during the stage of early sleep at night is when you’re more liable to get into restorative sleep where your brain and your body get the best kind of sleep. It’s the early morning where we get into REM sleep. In the late morning is when we dream the most, and that’s very important. In Go Wild,  Ratey talks about Dr. Beverly Tatumn of Spelman College (President from 2002–2015). She shut off her e-mail at 9 p.m. to prepare herself to go to sleep by 10:30 or 11 a.m. so that she could get eight hours of sleep. She helped Spelman College put an emphasis on students’ health and fitness. When you go to some gyms/health clubs in northern California for an entire year, you actually get your money back/can go for free! Ratey’s latest book is in process! He and Dr. Hallowell are doing an update to Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood. Dr. Ratey is also doing an update to Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. Exercise and Parkinson's—people are raising money for boot camps for recently diagnosed patients that will help to prevent the onslaught of the condition. Norman Doidge recently wrote a book called The Brain's Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity Itself, and he talks about “walking off” Parkinson’s disease. When we exercise, we change the chemistry of our brains and our bodies.  Serena Marie, RD  Go-to, real-food dietitian, Serena Marie, RD, talks about fat and sugar as related to brain health.  Serena talks about omega-3 fatty acids--which are anti-inflammatory, polyunsaturated fatty acids that are most bountiful in fatty fish (salmon, sardines, anchovies, tuna), in seaweed, and in nuts and seeds (macadamia and walnuts). Grass-fed meat is another good source of omega-3s. The version of omega-3 fatty acids that you receive from meat is very bioavailable. When we’re getting it from nuts, seeds (chia or hemp seeds), the conversion is very low, so it’s harder to get the appropriate amount from a diet void of fish. Aim for 1,000 milligrams a day or so. Over half of the brain’s weight is made of fat. To keep our brains healthy, we need to be eating the thing that they’re comprised of. Our brain is made of DHA. Studies show that having DHA intake during your lifetime is going to help with cognition. It’s shown and correlated with having better memory and executive function. Studies recommend one to four servings per week. Some research says that DHA helps with depression as well. Insulin is the hormone that your body needs to run through the bloodstream to holla, “Let me in!” to your cells. Studies have shown that those people who are insulin resistant have been associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease. The proposed pathways are complicated, and there isn’t one that’s well studied or understood. Because insulin is unable to do its job and sugar is hanging out in the blood stream, there’s increased oxidation of stress and contributes to deleterious effects in memory. Studies have shown that less than 20 grams of carbohydrates a day is a great way to combat memory problems and dementia.  Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) Kari is grateful that integrated health professionals exist, that the science exists and is being talked about, and that people are trying to live healthier lives. Serena is grateful that Siggi’s yogurt started making 4% milk fat yogurt. She’s obsessed with the strawberry rhubarb flavor (but they also have plain). It has 9 grams of sugar. People with a lactose intolerance can sometimes handle yogurt and hard cheeses. Next week, Kari talks with artist Ann Rea who runs as a form of relaxation and to help her be an even more beautiful artist. And don’t forget that on Sunday, April 17, Kari and Dr. Marjorie Dejoie will be at Philadelphia Runner in Center City at 9 a.m. leading a vision board workshop. You’ll leave the event with your very own vision board!

Dr. John Ratey, expert on the correlation between brain activity and how it’s important for us to move our bodies, discusses seven ways to take control of your life, along with the link between depression and sugar, being responsible for our own well-being, and the benefits of exercise. Serena Marie, RD, talks about foods that are great for brain health. Featured Guest: Dr. John Ratey Harvard psychiatrist and foremost authority when it comes to the brain and exercise, Dr. John Ratey, discusses the correlation between sugar and depression/other diseases, being proponents for our own well-being, and the benefits of exercise. He has been on TRLS in such episodes as “John Ratey” (<a href="http://www.therunninglifestyle.com/episode-53-john-ratey/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 53</a>), “Dr. John Ratey” (<a href="http://www.therunninglifestyle.com/episode-59-dr-john-ratey/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 59</a>), “Optimize Your Brain With Dr. John Ratey, Part 1” (<a href="http://www.therunninglifestyle.com/74-optimize-your-brain-with-dr-john-ratey/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 74</a>), and “Optimize Your Brain With Dr. John Ratey, Part 2” (<a href="http://www.therunninglifestyle.com/75-optimize-your-brain-with-dr-john-ratey-part-2/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 75</a>). <ul> <li>Companies work with people to find better ways to accommodate health in their lives, like startups working with the elderly to get them moving and to get them out into the community more.</li> <li>We’re near a tipping point; people recognize that we have to be more responsible for ourselves and our own health. We’re empowered by Google medicine and also knowing how to be healthier and how to increase our well-being.</li> <li>The biggest thing that Kari read recently is that our genes account for 5% of what can happen to us (from Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being by Deepak Chopra, MD, and Rudolph E. Tanzi, PhD).</li> <li>Our genetic inheritance can guide us to that wisdom that’s impacted in our genes—to be in the moment, to eat right, to get the proper amount of sleep, to connect with others, and so on.</li> <li>He’s excited about two different Silicon Valley firms that he’s working with who recognize that small tribes are the way to promote a better sense of well-being.</li> <li>He’ll be talking with an artificial intelligence group and another group that has proven that successful entrepreneurs have a passion for taking steps in helping the elderly try to improve their lives and getting them connected with others through exercise and the community.</li> <li>If you have been following him on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/john.ratey" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, you’ll know that he’s recently been interviewed by Larry King, and to his surprise a group in CA put together a song called “Ratey-O-Active” on YouTube (like “Radioactive”).</li> <li>The “Super Seven” Commandments include eating right, being outside, being with your tribe, meditation, getting enough sleep, exercise, and mindset.</li> <li>Question: Can you get the same tribe feeling from a Facebook group that you can from meeting in person? Answer: It can be a starting point, but it’s never going to be the same. But there are a lot of different mechanisms being developed and that are already in existence (like <a href="http://www.meetup.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Meetup</a>).</li> <li>He talks about the <a href="http://november-project.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">November Project</a> and walking or running up and down the stairs at Harvard Stadium.</li> <li>The “dopamine squirt”—the surprise or novelty of an e-mail</li> <li>Using our past history and our biometrics (blood pressure, pulse) as well as what we’ve felt and what we like in the past is called affective computing so that we can be guided to prompt ourselves to move—it increases your state of well-being.</li> <li>You do not need sugar if you are burning fat. Dick Manning is a trail runner in Montana who has eliminated sugar for years from his diet. He’s lost weight and gotten out of depression. He is using fat as his fuel (via a ketogenic diet). High concentrations of sugar lead to inflammation and putting on weight/fat.</li> <li>Ratey cautions jumping on the probiotics bandwagon (meaning purchasing probiotics in pill form rather than eating foods with probiotics) because we know very little about it. We’re on the cusp of learning. Serena Marie, RD, talked about probiotics on “The Hottest “Living A Running Lifestyle” Trends With Kalyn Rozanski” (<a href="http://www.therunninglifestyle.com/118-the-hottest-living-a-running-lifestyle-trends-with-kalyn-rozanski/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 118</a>).</li> <li>The first prescription for someone who has gastrointestinal problems is to eliminate sugar from his or her diet.</li> <li>For an injured runner, try to avoid depression by doing things like upper-body aerobics (<a href="http://www.conductorcise.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Conductorcise</a>), boxing, kettlebells, use the elliptical, or some alternative to staying active. Exhaust yourself other ways; when you do that you are raising your heart rate.</li> <li>Kari has been getting in the pool to do aqua running while dealing with her back injury.</li> <li>He mentions a <a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/learning-a-new-sport-may-be-good-for-the-brain/?_r=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">New York Times</a><a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/learning-a-new-sport-may-be-good-for-the-brain/?_r=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> article</a> called “Learning a New Sport May Be Good for the Brain” written by Gretchen Reynolds. It helps grow your brain.</li> <li>He now starts off his lectures talking about neuroplasticity. That means putting ourselves in a state where the brain cells are the most liable to grow and change.</li> <li>The more depressed/stressed you get, the less plastic your brain gets—the less it’s able to grow and respond to the environment.</li> <li>When it comes to sleep, during the stage of early sleep at night is when you’re more liable to get into restorative sleep where your brain and your body get the best kind of sleep. It’s the early morning where we get into REM sleep. In the late morning is when we dream the most, and that’s very important.</li> <li>In Go Wild, Ratey talks about Dr. Beverly Tatumn of Spelman College (President from 2002–2015). She shut off her e-mail at 9 p.m. to prepare herself to go to sleep by 10:30 or 11 a.m. so that she could get eight hours of sleep. She helped Spelman College put an emphasis on students’ health and fitness.</li> <li>When you go to some gyms/health clubs in northern California for an entire year, you actually get your money back/can go for free!</li> <li>Ratey’s latest book is in process!

123: Seven Ways to Take Control of Your Health

Norman Rosenthal

Featured Guest, psychiatrist Norman E. Rosenthal, who coined the term Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), joins Kari to talk about SAD, transcendental meditation, and mindfulness. Runner of the Week, Erica Barton shares how she went from couch potato to marathoner—all while being legally blind. Serena Marie, RD, talks about the benefits potato skins (not the appetizer!). Kari and Serena talk about parsnip chips and kettlebells in this week’s installment of Gratitude Jar. Pssst! Want to learn how to become luckier and more focused? There’s this little thing called transcendental meditation that might just blow your mind. It can help you  connect your body and mind; build a better brain; be in the zone; accept losses; and so much more!  On the show today, Kari chats with world-renowned psychiatrist, public speaker, and best-selling author Norman E. Rosenthal about Seasonal Affective Disorder, transcendental meditation, and mindfulness. Here are some links to books mentioned during the interview:   Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life Through Transcendental Meditation by Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal  Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation by Dr. Norman E Rosenthal and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz  The Gift of Adversity: The Unexpected Benefits of Life's Difficulties, Setbacks, and Imperfections by Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal  The Emotional Revolution: Harnessing the Power of Your Emotions for a More Positive Life by Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal  Winter Blues, Fourth Edition: Everything You Need to Know to Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder by Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal  Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits—to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life by Gretchen Rubin  The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time by Arianna Huffington  Featured Guest: Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal Norman E. Rosenthal is a world-renowned psychiatrist, public speaker, and best-selling author who is known for his innovative research and inspirational writings. Kari interviews him this week about transcendental meditation, mindfulness, SAD, and much more! Pleate note: Always consult your physician. The following interview is not intended to replace the advice of your physician or medical care provider.  Rosenthal is currently Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine and is listed as one of the best doctors in America. He is a highly cited researcher who has written over 200 scholarly articles, and authored or co-authored eight popular books. These include Winter Blues, the New York Times bestseller  Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation, and the Los Angeles Times bestseller The Gift of Adversity. Rosenthal has conducted numerous clinical trials of medications and alternative treatments, such as transcendental meditation for psychiatric disorders, and the treatment of depression with Botox. He is the TRLS June Book Club author, for his book,  Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life Through Transcendental Meditation. Rosenthal has SAD himself and talks about his experiences with the disorder. He talks a bit about the signs/symptoms of SAD versus when you have the “winter blues.” When meditating, you get fluxes of alpha waves, especially in the frontal areas of the brain, that are soothing. Rosenthal talks about brain coherence, which means different parts of the brain experience the same wavelengths at the same time. This is associated with the brain collaborating and being more efficient. He explains the difference between mindfulness and medita Kari talks about the “Jon Kabat-Zinn” way of meditation and Deepak Chopra and Oprah’s meditation class. Kari talks about mindfulness stress-based reduction training. Transcendental meditation can help in the following ways: connecting body and mind, building a better brain, being in the zone, having internal growth, asking yourself, “Who do I want to be?”, being engaged with relationships or work, accepting losses, and so on. Rosenthal points out two particular chapters: Meditate and Grow Rich and Meditate and Grow Happy. Kari mentions one story in  Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation with Ray Dalio. They discuss sleep and transcendental meditation. He speaks to practicing transcendental meditation and running. During transcendental meditation, according to Rosenthal, the brain delivers you gifts from your subconscious. Rosenthal speaks to how parts of the government/the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are using transcendental meditation. Kari talks about finding her “Cameron Diaz” moment of sorts while recording The Running Lifestyle Camp ad.  The Running Lifestyle Camp Don’t forget to sign up for The Running Lifestyle Camp (which starts Monday, June 13) where you’ll get the opportunity to ask questions of popular guests such as Serena Marie, RD, sleep doctor, Vinny Kripalu, Joanne Ambrogi, Denny Krahe of Diz Runs (who’s a fast runner and athletic trainer), and more! You’ll also get accountability at Camp to live your North Star and to have the summer you want to have with like-minded people. Sign up here today or e-mail Kari at Kari@TheRunningLifestyle.com with questions Runner of the Week: Erica Barton Erica Barton, an amazing woman who is legally blind (with optic atrophy), went from getting off the couch to being afraid of breaking a treadmill, to running the Seattle Marathon!  Erica gushes over “NYC Marathon Recap With Jeff Galloway, Melanie Curtis, Runar Gundersen, And Serena Marie, RD” (Episode 101), which really got her excited. Listen as Erica recounts her incredible running journey and her journey to becoming a healthier person. Erica raves about  Marathoning for Mortals: A Regular Person's Guide to the Joy of Running or Walking a Half-Marathon or Marathon by John Bingham. She explains how she runs being legally blind. Her goal is to run with the Achilles International team at the TCS New York City Marathon in 2017. Erica gives recommendations that she has for runners who are looking to start (after you get to decide what a runner means to you). Hear what being a runner means to Kari. Erica offers tips for getting off the couch and starting ru Kari mentions “The Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, And Rebel: Our Four Tendencies” (Episode 120).  Serena Marie, RD Serena Marie, RD, talks about the nutritional benefits of eating potato skins (no, not the appetizer!).  The benefit to eating potato skins is the fiber that they contain. They are mostly a source of insoluble fiber. Serena reviews the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber. She also defines what a “standard American diet” looks like. When transitioning from a standard American diet to a more nutrient-rich diet, many people have issues increasing their fiber intake. As you increase vegetables, steam them or chop them up finely to break down the cellulose/fiber to help digest them with less intolerance.  Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) Kari is grateful for is a new product at Trader Joe’s called parsnip chips. They are so good that they might be a trigger food, but thankfully they only have a few ingredients! Serena is grateful for kettlebells. Follow Serena on Periscope @SerenaMarieRD to check them out! Next week, Kari talks all about the post-race runner's’ high. She interviews several runners after the Race on the Big Day 5K sponsored by Empowered Yoga.
