On Healing the Inner Child with Jessica Amendola - Ep. 145
Send us a textIn this episode of Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade and Jessica Amendola discuss the effects of childhood traumas, old wounds, and old memories on the physical body. While most think that bad experiences and traumas can cause psychological harm, is has been proven that the body also suffers. Emotions that don’t move through the body end up stuck, and that impacts the way we live life. Jessica also explains to the listeners the many signs of trauma (and unreleased trauma). According to her, difficult to create, maintain, and nurture healthy relationships are one of the easiest “symptoms”. Also not being able to express emotions, not being able to cry when needed, and getting easily triggered from daily situations are signs that something inside needs to be healed.

On the Pandemic - Ep. 144
Send us a textThe pandemic still is a big source of contrasting ideas and different opinions. The whole world had to have an opinion on whether they were willing to take a vaccine, use a mask, follow all the protocols, etc. These “two sides” make people show their true humanness: Base Level Humans only believe their own opinion; Culture Level Humans care only about their group; Next Level Humans are open to conversation. In this episode of Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade talks about how our personal opinions and course of action about the pandemic cannot become unquestionable and cannot become our permanent identity. People need to be open to discussion because that’s just what human beings were made for, and while many believe in an idea of ”black and white”, the reality is that there is a lot of gray everywhere, all the time.

On Dating and Social Media with Emily Gough – Ep. 142
Send us a textThe correlation between dating and social media is more curious than you probably think. People who have an impactful presence online can – and should – be honest about their relationships and romantic status, because the way all of us show up online is the way we show up in real life. Our social media profiles are an extension of our day to day actions so they also require a good amount of integrity and transparency. In this episode, Dr. Jade and Emily debate all the kinds of do’s and don’ts of social media interactions if there is a relationship going on in our real lives. The online world allows everyone to follow everyone, so it might be confusing to manage the dynamics between ex partners, current partners, potential partners, likes, comments, DMs, and you… amidst it all.

On Stress Psychology - Ep. 141
Send us a textWhat is stress in the first place? Stress has two main effects on an individual: a physiological effect and a psychological one. The physiological effect has more well-known symptoms such as irregular breathing, anxious thoughts, feelings of overwhelming, and pretty much anything that throws us off balance. On the other hand, psychological effects include fear, lack of purpose, meaninglessness, and more stress. As a follow up to the previous episode, Dr. Jade debriefs the perception of stress, and what we could possibly do with the stress levels that impact us through life. Specifically at the current times we are living in, everyone has at least one source of stress that comes up during the day, and it’s important to recognize when it happens. Also important to remember: when we go through situations of stress, our body ends up creating resilience to go through more situations of stress, so stay strong!

On Stress - Ep. 140
Send us a textStress is one of the main components that affect our health and metabolism. When stress levels are high enough to the point that it’s harmful, it’s important to identify and understand the origins of the stress. It’s also important to try and find solutions or coping mechanisms that will help lower our stress levels. There are a lot of tactics and strategies that can help to manage stress, it’s only a matter of finding what works best for you. In this episode, Dr. Jade talks about stress levels and how “too much” or “too little” of anything affects these levels. For example: eating too much can be harmful for you as well as eating too little. Exercising too much is bad for your body, same thing with exercising too little. In addition, Dr. Jade also explains the concept of S.H.M.E.C. (Sleep, Hunger, Mood, Energy, Cravings), how it can be applied as an indicator of stress, and how to add positive types of stress to your routine. Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!

Age Gap Romance with Emily Gough - Ep. 139
Send us a textAge gap romances have always been surrounded by a lot of stigma in the eyes of society. People involved in a relationship where one is much older than the other are often more susceptible to the opinions and judgments of someone else. Not only that, there are important factors to be taken into account when starting a relationship like that such as differences between life experiences, specific goals in life, and overall lifestyle. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade and Emily Gough analyze these types of romances and relationships between two individuals who don’t have the same age. In order to live an experience with these circumstances, the person involved needs to have some level of confidence, self-consciousness, comfort, and most of all: preparation to deal with potential issues of compatibility.

Women, Food, and Hormones with Dr. Sara Gottfried - Ep. 138
Send us a textThe debate around weight loss is a very rich one, with a lot of science-based information being added to it all the time and a lot of practical tips from those who have achieved a personal transformation being offered through social media. Despite the foundation of this topic revolving around caloric deficit and caloric surplus, another vital factor which needs to be taken into account is: metabolism. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade interviews Dr. Sara Gottfried to talk about the role that metabolism, metabolic adaptation, and hormones play in a weight loss goal. Individuals that also pay attention to these factors have more understanding on what it takes to eliminate body fat. Dr. Sara also emphasizes that specific diet protocols such as the ketogenic diet can definitely work, but it may vary from person to person. Tune in to learn more!

Self Transformation and Relationships with Christine Hassler - Ep. 137
Send us a textIt’s no secret that our first experiences as a child and the way we expressed feelings at a young age have a major role on how we behave at the present time. Somehow, the patterns we were taught and we reproduced in the past tend to show up consistently if we face similar situations. But how do we get out of this cycle and evolve as a person if we are still the same person? What do we need to do to self-transform and heal? In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade interviews Christine Hassler, coach, speaker and author of “Expectation Hangover: Overcoming Disappointment in Work, Love, and Life”. Christine talks about how we unconsciously keep repeating old patterns both in our personal lives and in relationships. Christine explains that in order to change and become someone free from those traumas, we need to get in touch with our emotions, do the inner work, and really start questioning our beliefs. Tune in!

The Betrayed and Betrayer with Emily Gough - Ep. 136
Send us a textRelationships are – or at least should be – created and cultivated in the life of two individuals to make all the areas of life easier and more manageable. As long as two people have each other and have a strong bond, the adversities of life become a game for two players. However, when a relationship happens to go through a betrayal, what was supposed to be simple turns into a complex situation, where the two parts (the betrayed and the betrayer) must re-evaluate to understand what happened. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, you will listen to a frank discussion about relationships, how betrayals impact, not only the relationship, but the whole connection between two individuals, and how to begin to understand the causes and the consequences of a situation that involves a person betraying another. More important than being responsible with the circumstances is to accept the lessons and learn from it all. Tune in! Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!
