Today, our conversation with Pete Bombaci is all about human connection and we explore the vital role of human connection in today's increasingly digital world. The huge number of the global population is getting lonelier each passing year, which is extremely concerning, especially when you look at how loneliness affects people's physical and mental health. Yes, says Pete, but it is a pandemic that we can directly impact and change. He shares with us many ways we can increase our connections every day, including easy ways to speak to strangers and how we can all have a better, healthier relationship with the digital sphere. In this episode you will hear: Why human connection is more important than exercise and eating well. The importance of turning off distractions and connecting with others. Making social connection part of your day-to-day life. How we can consciously build connections one person at a time. Reasons you should go to the office if you have the choice. The long-term physical and mental effects of chronic loneliness. How you can change the world just by reaching out to one person and actively listening. Closing the gap of human connection and learning to talk to strangers. Ideas for growing the number of connections in your life. Pete is a human connection expert and the Founder and Executive Director of The GenWell Project, a Human Connection Movement that has been working since 2016 to educate, empower and catalyze people around the importance of human connection for their health, happiness, longevity, and the benefit of society as a whole. We have all been educated on eating well, exercise, not smoking, and more, but we have never taken the time to educate the broader population about the importance of human connection for our own well-being and for the benefit of those we connect with. The solution to the disconnected world that we live in today should not be a medical one, but one where each of us recognizes that we are all part of the solution and that we need each other, maybe more than ever.

Today, I talked with Dr. Christopher Duhon about his passion for working with people on their terrain, the foundation of their health. We had a fascinating discussion on the biofeedback signs our bodies give, why we need to listen to them, and how our habits affect the choices we make in regard to our health.

The social pressures and established habits of our lives. Listening to the biofeedback of your body. The precious nature of your health. Telemedicine versus in-person medicine. Dr. Christopher Duhon grew up in a small town in southern Louisiana near Lafayette. As he matured and experienced life, particularly, medical school, what he discovered to be his passion all along is working with a person's terrain, the foundation of their health, their "soil," so to speak. Dr. Duhon's gift of listening to his patient's body has allowed him to honor their uniqueness and develop individualized personal care. He has been fortunate to be mentored by some brilliant Swiss medical doctors and local naturopaths who imparted their wisdom and experience to him. It has left him with a wide variety of tools to offer his patients (i.e., IV therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen, O3 therapy, Swiss-German Biological Medicine, Terrain Ten work, and more). Dr. Duhon works out of his own office in Seattle, WA, both virtually and in person. He is comfortable with all cancer types and applies the Terrain Ten methodology to all cases in order to dismantle the process bit by bit.

For today's episode, Loren joins us as we tackle the topic of anxiety. We talk about the expectations placed on us from society, from our family, and from ourselves, and how the stress of these expectations can manifest in our bodies as anxiety and can lead us away from our own, true, personal goals and desires. Most of our lives are run on autopilot by our subconscious mind, while most of the autopilot programming is done in childhood. We explore the idea of reprogramming our subconscious through small, intentional changes in our daily habits, and how this leads to higher mindfulness and awareness of self. Loren shares with us the ins and outs of her Manifesting Me program for ambitious women, with which she aims to help empower women to build awareness around their habits and emotions, build trust in their thoughts and emotions, and get down to what they truly want for their lives. We also talk about how technology has impacted our ability to grow and change, such as improving the accessibility of tools for growth and change, and the opposite side of that coin where we can get lost in the vast amount of information and easily get sucked into the online void. In this episode, you will hear: The prevalence of anxiety in our society, particularly for women Panic attacks, and anxiety in general, as a message from our bodies Rewiring our subconscious autopilot to facilitate awareness and mindfulness Becoming an observer of your own thoughts and emotions Loren's Manifesting Me program for ambitious women How technology has improved the accessibility of tools for growth and change Loren's call to action to start yourself on this journey of growth, love, and trust Loren Cellentani spent a good portion of her life feeling like her body & emotions were sabotaging any chance at a happy successful life. From crippling anxiety, chronic digestive distress, migraines and in the middle of a divorce, Loren knew something had to change! After many years of trying all the superfoods, techniques and meditations, Loren cracked the code to turn energy draining anxiety into focused confident action that helped her not only find peace of mind but also manifest her dream life. Now, Loren is a Manifestation Coach who helps ambitious women harness the power of their emotions to manifest their dreams with passion and purpose. You hear the calling of your soul to shine more, but what's keeping you from living that reality? It's time to step outside your head and into your true potential!

Lisa has joined us today to talk about Audaz, a new self-help VR software that employs the use of cognitive behavioral therapy to teach users about anxiety and help them learn methods to overcome their own anxiety. She gives us a simple breakdown of how this works, how Audaz takes a user through an anxiety-inducing situation step by step, and rewards them for each small successful action.

We talk more broadly about anxiety as a growing issue, and how social media use leads to anxiety and other mental health issues, especially in younger children and teens, by giving them certain expectations on how they should be feeling and living. We also look at how you can be unaware of your own anxiety, assuming that your normal response to a situation is just how most people would respond, and how Audaz can give you some information and education in order to better understand the nature of anxiety.

The Healthier Tech Podcast is the show about building a healthier relationship with modern technology. We live in a tech-centric world. Every year, technology enters more facets of our lives. And we enjoy it. It provides us with entertainment, health care and much more; it fuels our economy and provides us with income. Technology has brought us a tremendous amount of value. But with all this tech has come a downside. Increasingly, many of us have begun to realize: maybe this is too much? Maybe my personal relationship with technology is harming my health, my quality of life, and society in general? This show is about finding that dividing line. Diving into the ways that technology adds value to our lives– AND the ways in which it can cause harm. Each week, we'll interview a different guest – a business owner, an entrepreneur, a scientist, a doctor or a thought-leader. And with each guest, we're going to get into a discussion that pinpoints where they view this dividing line, the ways in which technology is helping their audience or their clients or their customers, and the ways in which maybe their clients, customers and audience could be using tech a bit more mindfully. So if you're interested in improving your relationship with tech, this show is for you. If you want to hear from interesting voices on various facets of relating to technology, this show is for you. If you want to find a healthier, more intentional and more mindful balance with modern technology, this show is for you.
