Your Longevity Blueprint

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 Links and Resources: Support the launch by purchasing your copy on September 29th!

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  Bio:  Vic Riffel is a central figure on the Partner Team at Sunlighten, a leading producer of infrared saunas.

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 Links and Resources: Support the launch by purchasing your copy on September 29th!
