"What you permit, you promote. What you allow, you encourage. What you condone, you own." - Anonymous Phew. Some heavy words for a Monday. And we need to hear ...‘em. So fill those lungs, drop those shoulders, and listen up. Emotions are big right now - do you feel it? The big people are struggling to talk about the hard things. And I’m here for it. We need to try harder, my friends. Again and again and again. They’re watching, those little people. What they’ll remember most is not if we get it right - but if we try with all our hearts to be better, do better, get better. Together. Turns out, it’s not the responsibility of one person or one organization. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Here's what I want us to pay attention to - you permit what you promote. If you promote silence - don't say anything about it - you permit it. What you allow, you encourage. To make a government, country, or team work well requires different opinions and insights. That's not what’s up for debate. It's how you get there that matters. Whenever possible, lead with grace. Whenever necessary, take charge. You can’t tell people how to be anti racist, how to be kind, how to lead effectively - you have to show them. Do the work to learn something you didn’t know yesterday about someone who doesn’t look like you, hand out compliments like it’s your job, and lead from the bench. We are the change we seek and I’m so glad you’re here. #drjodycarrington #reconnectionrevolution #connectioniskey #permitwhatyoupromote #bravertogether #communityconnection #communitylove #letstalk #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #mondaymotivation #mondaymood

The truth is, dementia is a very big problem that’s becoming bigger every day. What’s the link between Alzheimer’s and diabetes? Well, new resear...ch shows insulin resistance, or what I call diabesity (from eating too many carbs and sugar and not enough fat) is one of the major factors that starts the brain-damage cascade, which robs the memory of over half the people in their 80s, leading to a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Here’s the bad news/good news. Eating sugar and refined carbs can cause pre-dementia and dementia. But cutting out the sugar and refined carbs and adding lots of fat can prevent, and even reverse, pre-dementia and early dementia. Sugar causes pre-diabetes and diabetes, which often leads to significant memory loss. Chronic stress takes a toll on your body and brain. Stress shrinks the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. So, find your pause button every day and make time for some stress relief. Relaxation isn’t a luxury if you want to prevent or reverse dementia. Whether that involves deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, find something that helps you calm down. Lack of sleep can cause impaired brain function, leading to CRAFT syndrome, which stands for can’t remember a _____ thing. Studies show poor sleep becomes a risk factor for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Aim for at least 8 hours of quality sleep every night. We now know that physical activity can prevent and even slow down the progression of cognitive decline and brain diseases like dementia. Even a 30-minute walk can help. More active readers might want to incorporate high-intensity interval training or weight lifting. See more

To say that 2020 has been challenging would be an understatement. Some might describe it as heavy, overwhelming, exhausting. Every single one of us has experie...nced some sort of loss in the last 6 months (jobs, routine, contact with loved ones) and where loss lives, grief usually follows. Here’s what you need to remember. We are wired for it. It is a universal process that we all must experience, and since nobody on this planet gets to experience this thing called life without going through it, the answer is to support each other and talk about it. We all need some direction and guidance when navigating grief, and what we need now more than ever is connection. Notice those in your life today who have experienced loss. Tag them here and let them know you’re thinking of them. Reach out and send some love. All we need is each other. #GriefAwarenessDay #GriefAwareness #GriefandLoss #GriefSupport #MentalHealthSupport #DrJodyCarrington #ReconnectionRevolution #communitylove
