Send us a textWe know that we really ought to avoid things like alcohol, tobacco, and illicit substances....But what about the things that are not so obvious? Toxic habits and ideas can limit our lives, and the crazy thing is we don't always realize it... which means that we don't empower ourselves to take control and avoid those things that aren't serving us. Tune in to learn more about where toxic influences can exist, and how to free ourselves from them. Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us a textRemember that quote, "I'll sleep when I'm dead"? Many people take sleep for granted. The fact is, lots of important things happen when our bodies are sleeping. AND sleep is different from rest. Poor quality sleep and chronic sleep deprivation can  take a toll on your body, mind, and emotional health. Tune in to learn more about the importance of sleep, and how we can improve the quality of our sleep.  An Irish proverb puts it best:  “A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.”Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us a textIn this podcast episode, we are going to talk about nutrition! This is a topic that is discussed in my pediatric practice multiple times a day, and I find that there is a lot of confusion about it. Why wouldn't there be? We are constantly bombarded with information regarding the latest diet and nutrition fads. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine recommends a whole foods plant based diet, which is essentially a vegan diet (without the non-nutritive vegan foods that are highly processed, like doritos, fritos, chips!).  There's a good bit of research out there regarding this, and more can be found on their website at https://lifestylemedicine.org/In this conversation, for the sake of simplicity, I wanted to provide some broad recommendations for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike, so that we can all move towards a healthier life and reduce our risk for common chronic diseases, like diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. We deserve a life where we can be active with our kids and grandkids, and empower them to be healthy as well. Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us a textThe "Wellness" umbrella covers lots of things - physical wellness, mental/emotional wellness, spiritual wellness... but we don't often talk about financial wellness. Financial security in this day in age is vital so that we have the capacity to step back from our work if and when we need to. Some of us avoid learning about finances because it seems complicated and there's a sense of hopelessness.  If you're one of these people, this podcast is for you. Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us a textEverywhere we turn, there's information. We are constantly absorbing it. Sometimes it happens so fast that we don't even realize that it's happened.  Have you ever listened to a song that was sad and found yourself moping around for hours afterwards? Maybe you've listened to someone talk heatedly about something and now you're feeling irritated, too. If you're someone who tends to soak up and internalize the emotions of the people around you, how does that make you feel? How does it impact your day? Let's talk about how we can separate our baggage from their baggage... because, let's face it, we  have enough of our own, and we don't need to carry someone else's!

Send us a textA manual is a booklet that's written to help us understand how something works. In the coaching world, however, "the manual" refers to an unspoken set of beliefs and expectations that we set for the people in our lives. Because it's unspoken, the other person doesn't even know it exists... and, to be honest, you may not even realize it exists until you shed some light on it. Once we see it, it's easier to understand how this set of expectations and beliefs can negatively affect us. It can also give us some helpful insight into what we need to do to improve the quality of our relationships. Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us a textEvery year on December 31st, we all look towards the new year with high hopes and aspirations. It represents a new page in the next chapter of our books. We end the year thinking about how we want the next 365 days (or, in this case, 366 days) to look and what we want to accomplish. For those of us who might be recovering high achievers, perfectionists, workaholics... it's easy to get a little crazy with our goals. My 2024 version of myself just set one of the hardest goals ever. Listen to find out more!Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.
