The Power of Wonder with Monica Parker
Finland has been dubbed the happiest country in the world, but in reality Finns are content, not overwhelmed with joy. They have a high GDP per capita, good healthcare, low corruption, and a decent amount of personal freedom - all great things, but not necessarily a recipe for joy and happiness.
Most people claim their biggest aspiration in life is to find happiness. This is a beautiful sentiment, and while we all love positive emotions like joy, laughter, celebration, adventure, and curiosity; these only exist because they are juxtaposed with negative and challenging experiences.
My guest on this week’s podcast suggests that rather than look toward happiness for a more fulfilled life, we should focus more on wonder.
Listen and learn:
How nature promotes wonder The difference between superficial vs. epistemic curiosity The tyrannical pursuit of happiness Trait openness and its role in wonder Links

Rethinking Pain with Dr. Amy Baxter
If you’re struggling with chronic pain and trying to find help, you’ve probably noticed that the pain management industry is a big minefield with hardcore drugs on one end of the spectrum and questionable potions and placebos on the other. In an ideal world, pain is adaptive and part of our body’s defense mechanisms, but all too often it can become untethered to the original insult and begin to attack your quality of life.
Listen and learn:
The purpose of pain in our bodies When to medicate and when to ignore The confusing connection between pain and healing Why some people are prone to opioid abuse more than others Links

12 Steps and Yoga with Nikki Myers
In the 1980s, Nancy Reagan coined the term, “Just say no!” and spearheaded the social aspect of the so-called war on drugs. It didn’t work, nor have any of the dozens of public, private, and international efforts to curb the disease of despair. Things have become so much worse that today, almost every single person listening has a friend or family member affected by addiction. My guest on this week’s podcast is a recovered addict herself and uses yoga as part of an integrated 12-step program to support others.
Listen and learn:
The importance of support for addiction recovery The benefits of talk therapy vs. movement based therapy How trauma can feel like it’s stuck physically The integration of past, present and future self Links

In regenerative medicine and longevity, it’s difficult to separate signal from noise.

On this week’s podcast we’ll discuss stem cells, specifically how specific nutrients can boost endogenous production.

Pain
I relate to the Chiropractors philosophy of listening to peoples description of their pain and how it is impacting their life.
Listen, Learn, Apply
What I love about the Lucas Rockwood show is that the topics are ON POINT.
What I appreciate about Lucas in particular, is that he has the intellect to talk philosophically about ideas, but he always make sure that there is a takeaway for his listeners and therefore that the information provided in the show is practical.
In this show, the host lets his expert guests do the talking, which is so important and actually rare. Lucas has natural interviewing skills that make for easy and enjoyable listening.
My favourite episodes include:
“Sugar is the Devil”
“CO2 is your friend”
“Stay Strong in middle age and beyond”
“Emotional Agility”
I could keep going as there is a vast body of fascinating work to chose from!
If you want to learn something where you can immediately apply the knowledge and actually improve your quality of life, then start listening to the Lucas Rockwood show.
