Have you ever said or done something in luteal that left you cringing with guilt and shame?

Have you wondered whether you might have bipolar disorder or PMDD or both?

Want to know how to tweak your daily routines to help boost your mood?


This episode is for you! 

On it, I chat with Robyn Tamanaha, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, based out of California. Robyn specializes in Bipolar Disorder and OCD, and works with clients who have PMDD. She and I talk about:

  • The differences between Bipolar Disorder and PMDD and how they are diagnosed.
  • How you can learn from an episode or meltdown to balance your mood a bit better and perhaps prevent one in the future.
  • How you can use symptom tracking to look out for the 'yellow flag'.
  • The #1 daily habit you can start changing now to improve your mood.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
