    Ep#81 The Power of Sleep Training for Parents and Children | Lydia Harden

    Ep#81 The Power of Sleep Training for Parents and Children | Lydia Harden

    In this episode of the Empowering Family Health podcast, we're talking with Lydia Harden about the importance of getting good sleep for children and parents.

    Lydia Harden is a Pediatric Sleep Consultant and a Newborn Care Specialist who is passionate about helping families get the sleep they need to be healthy. In this episode, we discuss the the POWER of sleep training, the issue of chronic sleep deprivation among children/parents and the importance of laying a strong sleep foundation in childhood. We also discuss ways to help your child sleep better from birth and how a Pediatric Sleep Consultant help you get the sleep your family needs!

    After 10 years of working with families as a childcare specialist and getting a master’s degree in Developmental and Educational Psychology from Boston College, Lydia started Slumberly to provide exhausted parents with both virtual and in-home overnight support to effectively and quickly sleep train their babies because Lydia believes that both parents and children deserve to fully thrive! The combination of her certifications as both a Pediatric Sleep Consultant and a Newborn Care Specialist allow her to take a holistic perspective when it comes to sleep and approach every family with the personalized touch that it takes to see the sleep training process through from beginning to end.

    A study by Dr Owens found that 25-40% of children in US struggle with chronic sleep problems (behavioural). 

    Children don’t have the skills to help themselves fall asleep independently. This delays the onset of sleep, and the quality of sleep and duration of sleep.

    Ep#79 Mental Fitness IS The NEW Physical Health | Jeffrey E Berger

    Ep#79 Mental Fitness IS The NEW Physical Health | Jeffrey E Berger

    In this episode, with Mental Health Wellness Coach, Jeffrey E. Berger, we will discuss the relationship between mental health and physical health, gut-brain health and how microbiome is playing a role. In fact almost every disease has scientific reports on the relationship of the microbiome. We also discuss the concept of  and how it can impact mental health; anxiety, depression and suicide. In addition, we also discuss the benefits of exercise, sleep, food and supplements and how it can help optimise your overall health. Mental Fitness IS The NEW Physical Health Today!

    Jeffrey E. Berger a Holistic Wellness Coach, resides in Cape Coral Florida with his husband Joshua and their kids Zoie (soft coated Wheaton Terrier) two black cats Zoro and Zelda. 

    He is a humanitarian entrepreneur, a Certified Health and Integrative Wellness Coach and a Certified Holistic Mental Wellness Coach. He is also aligned with the only Holistic Mental Wellness company focusing specifically on the Microbiome (Gut-Brain Axis Health) a science that's disrupting the health and wellness industry.
     
    Jeffrey is a contributing author to the book “It’s OK to Not Be OK” – a collection of personal stories overcoming challenges and the tools used to do so. The book hit Amazon’s #1 International Best Seller list in September 2019.

    ...And a recording artist for a Meditation Project named “Abundance”; track titled “Abundance in Optimum Wellness.” (He referenced it as his Twilight Zone version taking the listener on a Microbiome journey!)

    "My hope is to help make whatever impact I can by doing my personal best, helping those struggling with physical and mental challenges by providing VALUE, DIRECTION and HOPE to so many others out there looking for solutions that are safe and work." -Jeffrey E Berger

    Jeffrey is paying it forward. He is a survivor of childhood molestation, chemical dependency, 2 attempted suicides and today living a life in Abundance In Optimum Wellness Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually and Financially.  Why?  Because he reversed his Type 2 Diabetes, came off five medications, lost 60 pounds, and took decades of stress, anxiety and depression from a level 10+ down to a level one with absolutely no depression for the past four years. 

    We have one body temple we're blessed with. We need to treat it the way it's supposed to be treated to thrive in this life we get to live.  

    Jeffrey stands firmly with these two sayings:
    1. Healthy GUT Healthy MIND
    2. Mental Fitness IS The NEW Physical Health Today.

    Ep#78 Breaking Through Dyslexia ADHD and Sensory Processing Issues | Susan Steele

    Ep#78 Breaking Through Dyslexia ADHD and Sensory Processing Issues | Susan Steele

    In this episode, Susan Steele shares her story breaking through dyslexia, ADHD and sensory processing issues. She shares the strategies she has used to overcome these challenges and teach others how to do the same.

    Whether you have dyslexia, ADHD or another neurodivergence, it's essential to understand how your unique experiences impact your learning and performance. Susan Steele shares her story of finding the root cause of dyslexia, ADHD and sensory processing issues, and how you can do the same. This video is a must-watch for anyone looking to overcome barriers in their performance in education, sport or behavioural issues.

    Parents, are you concerned about your child? Adults, do you want to unlock your potential? Improve your performance in sport no matter what your age?

    When your body is rigid your thoughts are rigid too. When your eyes cannot focus and track an object, your mind cannot concentrate on your work.

    Susan helps to unlock the potential of children and adults who are challenged by learning, mental health, who want to enhance their performance in sport and education. She deals with the root cause of emotional and behavioural issues through her complete Movement Therapy Programme.

    Neurodivergent is a nonmedical term that describes people whose brains develop or work differently.

    Why do we need Balance?
    When we are about 5 months in development in the womb we develop our senses. But before all those senses are developed, we develop what’s called our vestibular or balance sense. It’s our foundational sense. All our senses are connected to this. 

    We have neural pathways that when connected the task ie spelling, reading works optimally with little energy consumption. When the synapses is broken, the connection or neural pathway is broken and the information is lost. You may know how to spell very well but not be able to put a sentence together. This can drain the whole system and leave you exhausted. It can show up as fussy eating, having difficulty reading, not being able to sleep, spatial awareness, timing, rhythm, sports and it can leave you exhausted. 

    What is the solution?
    We get back to the basics to strengthen and develop our vestibular system which is a layer under our senses. This will help all our senses integrate together. 85% of the information we take in through our senses is with our eyes. So focusing and tracking are a big part of our concentration and our awareness in our environment.
