The Luella Jonk Show

If you have never worked with a functional integrative dietician before to combat your ills, perhaps consider doing so. In today’s episode, Michelle and I discussed just some of the misguided information playing on various media channels, so you don’t need to continue to guess. We spoke about how stress plays a massive role in combating disease and made the argument it is not only one lifestyle factor playing a role in chronic illness; it is diet, exercise, social circles, sleep, environmental toxins, and possibly most importantly, stress. Michelle Shapiro is an Integrative/ Functional Registered Dietitian in NYC who has helped over 1000+ clients reverse their anxiety, heal long-standing gut and immune issues, and lovingly approach their weight. Michelle has a virtual private practice of 5 nutritionists where she and her team work one-on-one. She hosts the Quiet the Diet Podcast, where she helps her audience bridge the gap between body positivity and functional nutrition.   Relevant Links | Social Media: New 1:1 Coaching Program for Entrepreneurs and Executives: https://mixingbusinesswithpleasure.com https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luellajonkemotionalhealth https://linktr.ee/luellajonk https://michelleshapirord.com/

In today’s solo episode, I explained how maintaining a personal vision is imperative to ridding oneself of guilt, staying true to one's values, and likely circumventing a possible identity crisis down the road. I also spend a fair bit of time discussing John and Julie Gottman’s latest book Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection,and the excellent job they did reminding couples that attuning and attending to their partner’s needs or ask, rather than planning their next comeback response in their heads, is the key to lasting relationships. Finally, I shared my viewof why most couples are holding on for dear life right now, which is incongruent with Gottman’s current perspective.    New 1:1 Coaching Program for Entrepreneurs and Executives https://mixingbusinesswithpleasure.com   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luellajonkemotionalhealth https://linktr.ee/luellajonk

If you do not think you are interested in selling or have no need to ‘sell,’ think again. We all sell something daily. Selling is more than just closing deals; it's about understanding the psychological factors that drive consumer/partner/child behavior and mastering the art of fulfilling the interested party’s deeper needs. Once you understand that it is a skill like any other, it becomes easy. Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Benjamin Brown. Mr. Brown is a sales expert, author, and father of two young children. When it comes to sales, he’s done it all! From stock brokerage style cold calling to car salesman, to gym memberships, to medical devices-he can sell anything. Benjamin has 20 years’ worth of experience and created a 10-step process to help get more clients and MORE SALES.   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luellajonkemotionalhealth https://linktr.ee/luellajonk https://www.360salesconsulting.com/

I discovered Kim’s Podcast, The Wall Street Coach, after doing some of my work around money and money mindset. I invited Kim as a guest to explain to my listeners that it doesn’t matter what industry we work in, the lifestyle we follow, or what relationship we are in…everyone suffers from self-sabotage. Until we realize how disabusing this narrative can become, we will never reach that point of behavior change that we so strongly seek.   Kim Curtin, the Wall Street Coach, helps traders & others end the cycle of self-sabotage. Kim wrote a book called Transforming Wall Street: A Conscious Path for a New Future. In the book, she lists five practices to heal and transform your life and work.   Kim’s book - Transforming Wall Street: A Conscious Path for a New Future Other books mentioned:   No Worries: How to Live a Stress Free Financial Life Lost and Found: Unexpected Revelations About Food and Money The Hero’s Journey Money Harmony   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luellajonkemotionalhealth https://linktr.ee/luellajonk https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimanncurtin   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

What a great conversation we had today! Michelle is my kind of gal. She is all about taking responsibility, becoming empowered, and an advocate of both nutrition and talk therapy to heal our trauma – a true inspiration to all who listen to this episode. Michelle Reittinger is a mother, wife, daughter and also a woman who has healed what many would call an unhealable mental illness, that is unless psychotropic drugs are used. Michelle advocates a radical shift in the treatment of bipolar using a research-based, integrated treatment plan to facilitate healing. I do this through public speaking, a podcast called The Upside of Bipolar, a blog, and a program called The Upsiders' Tribe, where I teach the steps to heal bipolar. She also has a book coming out in early summer 2024, so stay tuned for that!    Book: The Better Brain - https://a.co/d/gHnmrKN True Hope Website: https://www.truehope.com    Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luellajonkemotionalhealth https://linktr.ee/luellajonk https://www.truehope.com  https://a.co/d/gHnmrKN     This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

Is it true that the formula to lose weight is less calories and more exercise? Do women have a more difficult time to lose weight than men? Does stress play a large role in weight loss?  In general, do you feel our health is more compromised in North America than in Europe? Is prioritizing protein over any other macronutrient as crucial as we often hear? Does exercise directly improve our microbiome?   In today’s episode, I asked Dr. Berry these questions to provide my listeners with guidance and insight into making proper food choices and how this relates to our metabolic health and mood. The episode confirms what you may already know, and that is, what happens after food passes our lips is not as simple a process as we might like to believe. Many factors contribute to our physical and mental health.   Sarah Berry is a Reader in Nutritional Sciences at King’s College London and Chief Scientist at ZOE Ltd.

The ugly concoction of guilt, shame and self-loathing is most often the underlying reason why you are struggling and in need of therapy. Ridding shame is not easy, but when you begin to love yourself more by honouring your core needs, it becomes easier.  In this episode, I present three clients I have seen in therapy: Client one lost her job because she did not care enough for herself. Client two is slipping into burnout and depression because of taking on too much.  Client three is a man committing multiple marital affairs because of low self-worth.     Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/luellajonkemotionalhealth https://linktr.ee/luellajonk   This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.
