Battling Pseudoscience (Jonathan Stea, PhD)

In case you haven’t noticed, wellbeing and wellness have been hijacked by those selling the modern-day version of snake oil. Pseudoscience – social media’s candy - is winning the clicks game over actual science and your friends are more likely to send you a Youtube video as “proof” of their claim than a credible, peer-reviewed research study.Enter Dr. Jonathan Stea, author of the new book MIND THE SCIENCE. He’s battling the ridiculous pseudoscientific claims and keeping his sense of humor through all the anger sent his way on X and elsewhere. Our longtime listeners know we originally started this podcast 7 years ago specifically to bring the evidence back to health & wellness, so we’re grateful for people like Dr. Stea who are willing to do the same, in spite of the constant pushback.Dr. Jonathan N. Stea is a full-time practicing clinical psychologist and an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Calgary. He’s a two-time winner of the University of Calgary’s Award for Excellence in Clinical Supervision and co-editor of the book Investigating Clinical Psychology: Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies. Dr. Stea has published extensively, with regular contributions to Scientific American and Psychology Today, among other outlets, and has appeared on numerous mainstream television and radio shows, as well as podcasts. He was the 2022 recipient of the John G. Paterson Award from the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta, an annual award presented for the exceptional contribution to portraying psychological knowledge to the public. Connect with him on X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.Order Dr. Stea’s MIND THE SCIENCE: SAVING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH FROM THE WELLNESS INDUSTRY here: www.JonathanStea.com Dr. Stea’s free newsletter: https://jonathanstea.substack.com/p/its-time-to-mind-the-science-when Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

Tell Them About the Dream! (Vitality Boost Episode)

On the afternoon of August 28, 1963, with a quarter million people in attendance, Dr. Martin Luther King was working his way through the speech he’d composed with advisor Clarence Jones when everything changed. African-American gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, sitting just a few yards to his left, shouted “Tell them about the dream, Martin!” Dr. King took note, paused, slid his notes on the podium to the side, and improvisationally launched into the speech that would help change the course of history.  Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

Cancer and Exercise: Latest Evidence and Insights (Kristin Campbell, PhD)

The number of cancer survivors in the US alone exceeds 15.5 million—a figure expected to double in the coming decades. The general role of exercise for our health & wellbeing, but what about for the individual in the midst of or the tail end of the cancer journey – does it play an important role there? If so, in what ways? Why isn’t it generally emphasized as part of the treatment protocol? And what recent advancements in the research might be changing that historical trend? Today’s guest, Dr. Kristin Campbell, has spent her career diving into these and related questions. She holds a PhD in exercise physiology, a license in physical therapy and is a professor at the University of British Columbia where she holds an appointment in the Cancer Control Program. Her research focuses on the role of exercise in cancer prevention, rehabilitation and survivorship. I had an opportunity to hear her lecture in person recently and was very happy when she agreed to join us here as a guest. I have a feeling this is one of those episodes you’re going to want to share with family and friends.Links from Dr. Campbell:The Bone Metastases & Exercise (BME) Hub:   https://bit.ly/BMEHubCancer Exercise resource page:  https://cancerexercise.med.ubc.caMoving Through Cancer (initiative of ACSM Exercise is Medicine; with registry of programs) https://www.exerciseismedicine.org/eim-in-action/moving-through-cancer/2019 Exercise Guidelines for People living with a prior cancer diagnosis (open access at MSSE):  https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fulltext/2019/11000/exercise_guidelines_for_cancer_survivors_.23.aspxInfo re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

Is Delayed Gratification Overrated? (Jacqueline Rifkin, PhD)

Delayed gratification. When it comes to health, wellness and high performance, it’s the holy grail, right? Well, not so fast.      Back in 1970, psychologist and Stanford professor Walter Mischel (‘mishel”) performed the marshmallow study. It purported to show that children who were able to delay gratification by choosing not to eat a marshmallow when left alone in a room in order to earn 2 marshmallows went on to garner greater success across a range of areas, including school and careers. It’s been a cornerstone concept for speakers, coaches and consultants for decades. But can it go too far? Today’s guest, Dr. Jacqueline Rifkin has spent her career answering that question, studying how we manage our resources, including time, money and even experiences. Her findings – which she recently shared in a fascinating Wall Street Journal article – may not exactly align with what you’ve been taught. Maybe there is a time and a place to eat that marshmallow afterall. We’ll talk about the other side of delayed gratification, the specialness spiral and more, and I think you’ll be surprised, and perhaps encouraged, by what she has to share. Dr. Rifkin has her PhD in Marketing from Duke University and has done extensive work in both marketing and consumer research market. She is an assistant professor of marketing at Cornell University, teaching consumer behavior at both the undergrad and graduate levels.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.
