Hey friends! Welcome back to the show. Today, we're continuing the health series with one of the most important topics: our overall health, our mood, and even how we show up in our relationships and our work. I'm talking about sleep. It is something so basic to our lives, but we don't give it the credit it really deserves.

It is the easiest thing to sacrifice when life gets busy. I will tell you what you need to know, why it's important, and small habits that you can have in your life to feel a lot better.

It is so tempting to push sleep aside. I’m here to tell you why sleep is nonnegotiable. Consider today your friendly reminder to give yourself permission to rest well so you can feel amazing. Sleep is a superpower, and today, we talk about why sleep is so important.

01:13 - “Sleep is a superpower in this society. Sleep isn't just about feeling rested. It's actually the foundation for everything else.”

04:13 - “Sleep is like your emotional thermostat, and when you don't get enough of it, the thermostat goes haywire.”

05:48 - “The truth is when we sleep more, it helps us stay looking younger.”

21:06 - “I know it can be hard to prioritize sleep, but with everything else going on in life, it's one of the best investments you can make.”

21:15 - “When you sleep better, you live better.”

Welcome back! This week, we are with Jonathan Hoover. We are going to learn all about how to protect ourselves from burnout, if we're burned out, how to heal, how to recover, and how to manage our stress in a healthy way.

This is such an important topic in our health series because so much of our health has to do with how we are doing and how we're managing stress. Are we on the verge of burnout? Are we just emotionally overwhelmed? Are we weary? These are the things that we need to talk about. We're going to get strategies and tools. We're going to have some light bulb moments. And even though the topic's a little bit heavy, we're going to have a lot of fun.

Jonathan Hoover, PhD, serves as the Senior Associate Pastor of NewSpring Church in Wichita, Kansas. He also works as an Assistant Professor at Regent University’s School of Psychology and Counseling, where he is the Director of the Master of Science in Psychology program.

In Jonathan’s new book, Stress Fracture: Your Ultimate Guide to Beating Burnout, he shares how to reclaim control of your life and win the battle against burnout.

• Breaking the myth that all burnout is work-related
• The different phases of burnout
• How to manage our stress to recover from burnout
• Signs we may be susceptible to burnout that we should keep an eye out for

04:19 - “We give the best version of ourselves to God and to our family when we are managing our stress load and taking care of ourselves.”

14:39 - “Burnout happens because of an accumulation of things.”

18:06 - “It's important to trust that feeling that something isn't quite right.”

30:23 - “Attitudes are contagious, but burnout is incredibly contagious.”

30:56 - “God designed us to be more active than what most of us are in our culture.”

Welcome back! Today, I want to do a deep dive into supplements. This is for our health series. Of course, there's no way I can't talk about supplements. I’ve been reading and studying the supplement world for a long time.

My goal today is to give you a realistic look at supplements and what they can and can't do. I want to debunk the myth that we can get the majority of everything we need from our food alone. I have some really interesting data to support this. So whether you love them or hate them, this will be a fascinating episode for you.

03:00 - “Even if you're eating really healthy, it is very difficult for you to eat enough food to get your minimum RDA levels of vitamins and minerals every day.”

04:01 - “Most important is a multivitamin. A multivitamin is like your daily safety net. It's gonna fill in the gaps where your diet will fall short.”

05:28 - “Another one that I'm obsessed with and I think everyone should take as a supplement is magnesium. Magnesium is a powerhouse. I love it because magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in your body.”

18:13 - “Multivitamins help us feel better in the time that we have to live.”

21:48 - “However many years the Lord has given us, we want to feel good. We want to live them abundantly. We want to thrive. We don't just want to limp through life and that takes educating ourselves. It takes empowering ourselves.”

This week I’m currently loving The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. It’s historical fiction that dives into the lives of three women code breakers during WWII. If you’re like me and haven’t read it yet, you just may love it.

I know what great song you’ll love, Everything Has Breath by Bryan and Katie Torwalt and Jesus Culture. It’s upbeat. It’s the perfect song to put on, roll the windows down, and sing and praise through it all.
