As retailers look for ways to stay competitive in providing straight-to-your-door service, grocery delivery has become a huge business. Most unmillennials may not remember the days of the milkman delivering to your doorstep, but there's a good chance we may be having milk and more delivered to our homes today. In today's episode, I'm interviewing retail expert, Shari Steinbach, on the four most popular grocery delivery ordering services. Steinbach, who has enjoyed a 25+ year career as a registered dietitian working for supermarkets, shares: how common grocery delivery is becoming the most popular grocery delivery services the costs associated with each service the "value" of using a grocery delivery service how grocery delivery services do/do not offer discounts, coupons, etc where the future of grocery technology is headed I close out today's show with an announcement about the ending of Season 1 of This Unmillennial Life and what I'll be doing over the summer break to prepare for Season 2. I also share an Odds&Ends follow up from last week's Skin Cancer Episode, reporting what I found when I visited Ulta to purchase one of the products recommended by Dr. Keller.

Beauty experts consistently recommend staying out of the sun to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, but the risk of sun exposure over time is actually much more serious than just aging skin. As THE most common form of cancer in the U.S., skin cancer as a real health concern for unmillennial women. Today's podcast addresses why. In today's episode, I'm interviewing Dr. Emily Keller -- a board-certified dermatologist and a fellowship-trained laser and cosmetic surgeon. She attended the University of Notre Dame and served as chief resident at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic. In the show we answer these questions:  How common is skin cancer for women over 40? When should women start getting yearly body checks by their dermatologist? What are the different forms of skin cancer? Are there any skin cancers that are benign? What is a woman's risk of skin cancer if she's ever used a tanning bed? What are the best ways to prevent skin cancer and aging skin? Are sunless tanners a safe alternative? Dr. Keller also offers a helpful overview of tinted sunblocks you can get OTC that she recommends in her practice, including EltaMD, La Roche-Posay, and Colorscience. (Check out the This Unmillennial Life "Cool Stuff" page for affiliate links to those products.) And I close out today's show by admitting that I do, in fact, own my own at home spray tanning system at home (<- affiliate link)... a fact I conveniently glossed over in a previous episode.

Going through the motions of every day life may seem like you're a well oiled machine on auto-pilot through your day. But did you know that this unconscious flow in and out of life's events may have you bypassing some very important mindfulness benefits? In this episode I'm interviewing Lisa Wellstead -- an Educator of Mindfulness Programs with over 13 years experience teaching mindfulness-based approaches to alleviate stress, anxiety, and pain. Her clients include Fortune 500 executives, doctors, lawyers, fire-fighters, teachers, school administrators, counselors, and others. In the show, Lisa shared with us: a basic overview of what mindfulness is and is not how mindfulness gives you more choice and allows you to be more intentional about how you're showing up in the world how slowing down and learning our patterns can help us make better choices how the practice of mindfulness has a clinical basis in treating symptoms, such as pain and stress how the practice can actually provide mindfulness benefits to the brain and body why meditation is different than relaxation how people can begin to find a mindfulness practice I close out today's show with an Odds&Ends ending to the show that expands on some recent show topics, including how you can find BeachBody videos for free on Amazon Prime, an app recommendation and a browser extension recommendation that are follow ups to last week's show (The Apps Episode) plus an announcement about how listeners can now also find full-length episodes of the podcast on my business page (ReganJonesRD) on Facebook.

A phone used to be the thing you hoped would ring and your best friend would be on the other line waiting to tell you about her day. Now, it's your taxi service, shopping cart, yogi and to-do list. No matter what it is, there's always an app for that. The question is which ones are the best apps for your life? In this episode I'm flying solo... or rather, giving voice to all the unmillennials of the This Unmillennial Life Facebook group who shared with me their fave "best apps" for their phones. Not surprisingly, we are a generation who has embraced technology, but we're using it in different ways than our millennial counterparts. While my "research" is just a query of friends, it dovetails with what I've found to be the case in my life and those of my friends -- we are BUSY and use the best apps to help streamline, organize, connect and maybe - if we have a minute to ourselves - entertain.  In the show I go through each of these general categories of best apps to pull out specifics of either what I've personally found helpful about an app OR what fans of the show shared with me. It's interesting to note that the biggest stand-out categories were Health/Wellness and Organization. You might say we all want to feel better and live better. I for one am glad there's an app for that. Here are the best apps the unmillennials I spoke with rely on. I'd love to hear your faves!

BeachBody may sound like the kind of program only the young, supermodel striving types should try. But the ease, affordability and workout-anywhere nature of the program actually make it an ideal choice for many unmillennials. Or at least that's what one fan of the show thinks. Today's show is her story. In this episode I interview Julie Staley -- a talented entrepreneur, mom and newbie to the BeachBody workout program. While Julie isn't an official BeachBody coach and isn't trying to sell the program, she does believe in it and has had some exciting success with it. In this episode she shared with me:  Why she decided to try BeachBody Why BeachBody ultimately turned out to be the fitness that "fit" for Julie The affordability of BeachBody The results she's had since starting BeachBody What role the BeachBody shakes did or did not play into Julie's success   To close out the show, I'm doing something a little different this week. I'm sharing a portion of another interview I taped with a listener of the show -- Pamela Hernandez. As a personal trainer and fellow unmillennial, Pamela has begun discussing with her clients the idea of embracing a "middle ground manifesto." Based in the notion that there IS middle ground between ninja warrior and couch potato, Pamela's middle ground manifesto is an ideal reminder that age 40+ is the perfect time to seize your health and happiness and realize that you're good enough, you deserve a healthy lifestyle, but you don't have to be perfect.

Have you ever been affected by something so bad you were willing to give up 25% of the remainder of your life IF you could be cured or find relief? That's exactly how many people living with IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome - feel. Today's show is about their story.  In this episode I interview Kate Scarlata, MS, RDN -- a former guest of the show and creator of the #IBelieveinyourStory campaign.  In this episode we discuss:  What is IBS? How prevalent is the condition? The inadequate amount of funding currently allocated for IBS research Resources available to support IBS patients To close out the show, I'm addressing a topic I increasingly find to be of interest to moms with school-age children -- social skills. As I prep for an entire episode dedicated to this topic, I'm sharing the first insights I've gained from an article shared with me by my friend Deanna entitled "How Can I Help My Kids Develop Better Social Skills." As kids spend more time engaging with screens and less time playing with friends navigating social norms can be a challenge. This piece offers some insight into some basic principles we as parents can follow. If you are living with IBS, I'd love to hear from you and so would Kate.

If the phrase "home-based fitness" makes you think of DVDs and ellipticals collecting dust in the corner, you haven't met a Peloton owner. The internet-connected spin bike has reached almost cultish status in a very quick time, but is it worth the hype (and price tag)?   In this episode I interview Kim Nelson -- owner and creative director of Red Chalk Studios, a brand development, marketing and creative agency in Virginia Beach, VA. After years of a traditional gym membership, Kim found herself in need of a change that fit her busy schedule. Peloton was the answer she was looking for. In the episode we discuss:   How a Peloton bike is different from a stationary or regular spin bike How Peloton as a streaming service keeps things fresh and new for its riders What options are available for streaming other than the live Peloton classes How spinning in a Peloton class offers metrics that foster competition and personal bests The costs associated with purchasing and maintaining a Peloton   What Kim thinks about the quality of Peloton, both their products and their communications To close out the show, I offer a personal invite to listeners to join the This Unmillennial Life Podcast Facebook group to discover other great podcasts and audiobooks to listen to. (I also share that Audible.com is now a sponsor of the show and is currently offering a free book download with a 30-day free trial for listeners of the show who visit http://www.audibletrial.com/unmillennial.) Lastly, I share a personal piece of feedback from listener Inessa on how much she enjoyed The Freezer Meals Episode.   If you've tried a Peloton and Liked OR Disliked it, I'd love to hear from you!

Surely you've seen the ads in your Facebook feed. You know the ones -- the lady in the unassuming panties with a caption along the lines of "underwear for women who have periods." Those are Thinx panties and today's podcast gives a real-life recap of what it's like to buy, wear and wash them. In this episode I interview Carla Birnberg -- an author, blogger and online content creator, who tried Thinx for herself and quickly realized that someone else in her home might benefit even more from the panties than her, her daughter.  In this episode we discuss:  Why she decided to give Thinx panties a try How much they cost How they worked The laundering process How she uses them now How they've helped her daughter To close out the show, I share feedback from another listener of the show who didn't find Thinx to be the answer to easy periods that they claim to be. I also end the show with a startling look at the risk of a popular social media channel many parents assume is "okay" for their kids -- Musical.ly. If you've tried Thinx or if you have strong feelings about what apps kids should/should not be allowed access to, I'd love to hear from you!

    If you've ever found yourself at 4 pm staring in your 'fridge wondering What's for dinner tonight, today's episode is the podcast you never knew you needed. Featuring one woman's well planned and expertly executed batch cooking system, we're covering a new way to maximize output in the kitchen (and into your freezer) and minimize the stress of weekly dinner prep. In this episode I interview Mickela Mitchell -- a fellow registered dietitian and mom to two year-round athletes. Inspired by a post on Mickela's personal Facebook account, I knew immediately I wanted to learn more about how she cooks enough food at one time to get her family through three month's worth of freezer meals. In this episode we discuss how freezer meals help her:  Save time Save money Reduce decision fatigue Mickela also shares how she chooses which recipes to freeze, her tips for storing recipes properly in the freezer and why she thinks actually adding your meal plan to your calendar is a crucial step in the process. To close out the show, I share how I've started implementing batch cooking and freezer meals in my own home, including the following two recipes that I easily assemble after I've done a portion of batch cooking: Quick and Easy Gluten Free Lasagna Chicken Florentine Lasagna How to Improve Store-bought Alfredo Sauce   I'm also sharing a quick clip from fan of the show, Megan, who has her own helpful take on freezer meal prep.

If a friend told you her aging mother had found a new salve that eased arthritis pain in her hands, you'd be happy for her, right? What if you noticed a co-worker missing fewer days from work after trying a new migraine prevention protocol - a good thing, no? What if both of them told you the treatment involved cannabis or "medical marijuana"? Do you feel the same? Setting aside the political nature of marijuana legalization for recreational use, today's podcast focuses on all the ways compounds derived from the cannabis plant may offer health benefits and alternative treatments for a variety of illnesses.   In today's show I interview long-time friend and colleague Janice Bissex who is also a Holistic Cannabis Practitioner. After watching her aging father suffer the side-effects of treatment for pain management late in his life, Janice began researching cannabis treatment as an alternative. Seeing first hand the benefits, she broadened her career to include education about cannabis as a therapy and is now helping clients for whom the current medical landscape has failed to provide adequate relief. In this episode we discuss:  The important - and often overlooked - distinction between smoking pot to get high versus the isolation of specific cannabanoid compounds that offer health benefits and symptom relief, most of which are not associated with the psychotropic effects of marijuana The myriad of health benefits and treatment options for specific disease states that various cannabis derived compounds are used to treat Why people who've "tried it" using an edible and had a bad experience need to understand the metabolic challenges edibles pose and how alternative forms of deliveries - including salves, tinctures, gel caps, etc. - offer safer and more consistent dosing The importance of reaching out to a qualified practitioner and not simply relying on dispensary personal for help finding the right products, varieties of cannabis, etc. How medical cannabis is proving to be a safe and effective alternative to opioids and actually reducing opioid use in the states for which it is legal As a cautionary part of this segment, we also acknowledge the reality that marijuana at present is still considered illegal on the federal level. Listeners who are interested in approaching its use as a medical treatment should be aware of the medical marijuana laws governing their state and of course, the policies that apply to them as an employee in their current job. To close out the show, I re-visit one of my favorite segments -- If I Had A VCR I'd Tape This -- with a look at three programs I recommend for Amazon Prime Video subscribers: Orphan Black, Catastrophe and The Americans.
