In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Blood Sugar, Weight Gain & the Hidden Impact on Your Health 29:11

15 дней назад29:11

Have you experienced that post-meal energy boost that lastsan hour… only to leave you exhausted, irritable, and reaching for another snack? That’s the blood sugar rollercoaster. Here’s what’s happening in your body: 🍞 You eat quick-energy carbs (bread, pasta, sugary snacks). 📈 Your blood sugar spikes —giving you that burst of energy. 💥 Your pancreas releases a flood of insulin to manage all that sugar. 📉 Blood sugar crashes —now you’re tired, hungry, and craving more carbs. 🔄 The cycle repeats —leading to constant hunger, weight gain, and fatigue. This is where insulin resistance begins—the stage where your body no longer responds properly to insulin, causing it to store more fat instead of burning it. 🛑 And here’s the dangerous part : If this goes unchecked, insulin resistance can turn into prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, or full-blown type 2 diabetes. Over time, this leads to weight gain, fatigue, cravings,and eventually, metabolic issues like prediabetes or diabetes. Listen 🔊as Dr. Susan discusses how blood sugar is affecting your health and causing weight gain.

Heart Health Series, Week 2: Beating Hypertension and Lowering Cholesterol Naturally 29:39

“Welcome back to our Heart Health Series! I’m Dr. Susan Plank, and I’m so glad you’re here with me today. If you tuned in last week, we kicked off this series by breaking down what really drives heart disease. For years, we’ve been told that LDL, or so-called ‘bad cholesterol,’ is the biggest threat to heart health. But the truth? Heart disease is much more than just LDL—it’s about inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic health. Today we’re diving into hypertension and cholesterol—two silent threats that can creep up with little to no symptoms. You might feel completely fine, but over time, high blood pressure damages your arteries, increases your risk for heart attack and stroke, and even harms your kidneys and brain health. And cholesterol imbalances? They’re often a warning sign of bigger issues like insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. 🔊 Listen in as today, we’re going to break down: ✔ Why high blood pressure and cholesterol happen in the first place ✔ How diet—especially sugar and processed carbs—plays a role ✔ Which natural strategies and supplements can help lower your risk ✔ And most importantly, the advanced tests that reveal what’s really going on under the surface.…

But here’s where things can get tricky: most traditional doctors only test TSH, the thyroid-stimulating hormone. That’s why specific thyroid tests can be game-changers, allowing us to detect underlying issues even when TSH appears normal. Listen in as Dr. Plank explains 🔊…
