269: The Missing Longevity Ingredient: Nervous System Regulation for You and Your Kids - Part 2 with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge
Are you having therapy, meditating, and sleeping better, yet still stuck?
Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge joins me today to share the missing ingredient most of us overlook and explain why learning to regulate yourself and calm your nervous system may be one of the best things you can do for your longevity.
Stay tuned to learn what to do when your toddler has a meltdown, how to handle screen-time conflicts, and why you need to regulate yourself in those calm moments too.
Some small, daily practices to help you regulate yourself:
Practice diaphragmatic belly breathing
Use simple somatic practices, like a butterfly tap or a heart hug
Try humming
Do these practices for one to three minutes, at least five times a day. Use them during calm moments too, to train your nervous system to regulate when you are annoyed, stressed, or dysregulated.
Bio:
Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is a licensed therapist and certified school psychologist with more than 30 years of experience. She founded The Global Institute of Children’s Mental Health and Dr. Roseann & Associates, and Forbes has called her “a thought leader in children’s mental health.” She hosts the Dysregulated Kids podcast and created Regulation First Parenting™️. Her clinical work uses neurofeedback, biofeedback, psychotherapy, and nutrition. Her newest book, The Dysregulated Kid: The Parenting Playbook for Helping Your Child Find Calm in a Chaotic World, was released on September 22, 2026. Its core message is that kids don’t need fixing; they need nervous system regulation.
In this episode:
Why younger children may struggle with frustration while older children generally become better at regulating themselves
How dysregulation can show up in adults
Why rewards, consequences, and timeouts often fail with dysregulated children, and how to help them
Why screens should not be used as a coping tool for dysregulated children
How parents can prevent and manage screen time conflicts
How your child’s nervous system can sync with your nervous system
How unresolved stress can continue to affect people later in life
Why you should practice regulation when you are already calm

I’m delighted to have Vic Riffel back for the second part of a two-part series. Vic is a central figure in the Partner Team at Sunlighten, a leading producer of infrared saunas.
In Part 1, Vic and I covered the what and the why of infrared saunas. Today, in Part 2, we get into the how, exploring the practical aspects, including EMFs and safety. Vic clarifies how high you need to turn the heat, and discusses red light therapy, the materials these saunas are made from, how to shop for one without getting burned, and how to use it when it's in your home.
Tips for using a sauna more consistently:
Start with a lower temperature and gradually increase it
Stay well hydrated before, during, and after your sessions
Make your sauna time more productive by doing some stretching, breath work, meditation, or physical therapy
Don't let the sauna not being fully heated become a reason to skip your session. You can get in while it’s heating up.

Deeply connected to health and wellness, Vic leads initiatives that widen access to infrared therapy and facilitate collaborations with top wellness experts.

Beyond work, Vic is dedicated to supporting generational health changes, actively championing projects as board chair of Small Changes Big Shifts to promote whole-person health.
In this episode:
How some people may do better staying in the sauna longer at a lower temperature
Why you should pay attention to how your body responds rather than trying to tolerate more heat in a sauna
The importance of staying hydrated when using a sauna
Vic describes the materials and construction of Sunlighten's saunas
What to look for when evaluating the quality of an infrared sauna or red-light device
How to be more consistent in your sauna use

266 - Sweat Your Way to a Longer Life Part 1 with Vic Riffel
I’m delighted to have Vic Riffel joining me for a two-part series. Vic is a central figure in the Partner Team at Sunlighten, a leading producer of infrared saunas.
Infrared saunas have moved from a niche wellness trend to something you’ll find in gyms, spas, and many homes. In Part 1 today, Vic and I discuss the science, exploring what infrared is, how infrared saunas differ from traditional saunas, and what it actually feels like to sit in one. We also discuss the health benefits of infrared saunas, explain which ones are backed by solid science, and which are still being studied.
How to start using an infrared sauna:
Start slowly, with lower heat
Pay attention to how your body responds and adjust the heat intensity accordingly.
If you don't sweat easily, build up gradually and give your body time to develop that response
Work toward using the sauna two to three times a week, and eventually three to four times a week

265: Bioidentical vs Synthetic Hormones, Breast Cancer Truth, and the Four Diseases of Aging, Season 7 Premiere with Dr. Stephanie Gray
Welcome to the first episode of Season 7 of the Your Longevity Blueprint podcast!
One week from today, on Tuesday, September 29th, my third book, Your Hormone Blueprint: Optimizing Vitality and Longevity Through Integrative and Functional Medicine, is coming out.
Stay tuned as I talk about my book, share the argument at its heart, and walk you through what I truly want every woman and every man to understand about their bodies.
How to build a strong foundation before considering HRT:
Start with good nutrition — Make sure you’re getting the vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s your body needs to use hormones effectively.
Keep your bowels regular — Regular elimination helps your body clear hormones it no longer needs.
Support healthy liver function — Consider factors such as alcohol, medications, and environmental toxins that can place an additional burden on the liver.
Bio: Stephanie Gray
Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.
A nurse practitioner since 2009, Dr. Gray completed her doctorate focusing on estrogen metabolism from the University of Iowa in 2011 and holds a Master's in Metabolic Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida's Medical School.
Dr. Gray is one of the Midwest's most credentialed female healthcare providers. She completed an Advanced Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Functional Medicine in 2013 and became Iowa's first BioTe certified provider—now the state's only platinum provider with over 10,000 pellet placements. She is also certified as a SIBO doctor-approved practitioner, mold-literate provider, and ReCODE 2.0 practitioner for cognitive decline prevention.
An Amazon best-selling author, Dr. Gray wrote Your Longevity Blueprint and Your Fertility Blueprint, and hosts the Your Longevity Blueprint podcast. She co-founded Your Longevity Blueprint Nutraceuticals with her husband, Eric. After her own ten-year fertility journey, she now specializes in helping couples optimize reproductive health through functional medicine. Having lost her grandmother to vascular dementia, she is personally committed to helping families avoid cognitive decline. Dr. Gray founded the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic in Hiawatha, Iowa.
In this episode:
How my personal health challenges shaped my latest book
I explain how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and the adrenals contribute to keeping the body functioning well
Why I view hormone optimization as part of a longevity strategy
What the Women’s Health Initiative actually tested, and how its findings shaped attitudes toward HRT
How the optimal lab ranges I use in my practice differ from conventional lab reference ranges
Why symptoms such as hot flashes are clues rather than a diagnosis, and why two women with the same symptoms may require very different approaches
What patients should know about the preservatives, dyes, fillers, and other ingredients in their hormone prescriptions
Three foundational aspects to address before opting for HRT
How to identify whether your hormone prescription is bioidentical or synthetic
