Woo Woo Shit: Trying to Cure Cancer with Crystals and Other Disasters with Rachel Matlow

SHOW NOTES

We’re getting into the Woo Woo Sh*t. If you asked Rachel Matlow, they’d say it's an emphasis on the SH*T.

When I learned of their mom’s passing, I was not into reading a book about it (who wants to read about dead moms!?) But I did…and as weird as it sounds, I was cracking up a few pages in.

Dead Mom Walking gets into what happens when you receive a serious health diagnosis and instead of following doctor recommendations, scientific evidence, and proven treatment plans…you put your faith in woo-woo cures like herbs and mindset.

Have you ever heard of cancer being cured by the power of positive thinking? If you ask Rachel, they will tell you no. absolutely. not.

Rachel reflects on the beautiful relationship with their mom while sharing some dangerous realizations about "Woo Woo Culture".

I talk about Woo Woo Sh*t a lot on the podcast (helloooo, see title). But there is a time, place, and approach to go about using that in a healthy, non-harming way.

If you're skeptical of the woo, can empathize with Rachel about the passing of a parent, or even if you just want a comical read about death and life, check out their book, Dead Mom Walking: A Memoir of Miracle Cures and Other Disasters.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

  • Can “Woo” actually be harmful?
  • Do things actually happen for a reason?
  • The power of belief…is it a cure-all?
  • Woo Vs Science in matters like health.
  • Rachel Matlow’s story behind the best-selling book, Dead Mom Walking.

What’s your take on the woo? Is it a miracle cure-all or should you leave it to the docs?

Goal: Break Through To The Next Stage of Your Fitness Journey

SHOW NOTES

Excuse me while I hop onto my soapbox.

Whether you’re lost, confused, or stuck...regardless of where you’re at on your journey you CAN feel confident, in control, and kick ass.

I used to be a big fan of the (get ready to sound super sciency) Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, as I helped my clients move through their fitness journey. But I realized it doesn’t have to be this rinse, repeat cycle of back to square one.

Let’s look at fitness like the stages of life, maybe you’re an emerging MF’er (Master of Fitness that is), a feisty teen, or making your way to a full-grown ass adult.

Whatever spot you find yourself in I’m letting you in on the skills and tools to keep pushing and love yourself right where you’re at. Because it’s okay (it’s even great) to be confident in yourself and still want to grow and change.

Look, I'm not promising it’s gonna be easy but I AM saying that if you conquer your physical health, the effects are bound to ripple through the rest of your life. *steps off soapbox*

If you’re curious about where I’d place you on your journey take my quiz at Fit Feels Good.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

  • What the heck is the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change?
  • Oonagh’s guide to fitness as the stages of life.
  • The tools and skills you need to be a MF’er.
  • The key to loving yourself AND wanting to grow.

Where are you in the fitness stage of life?

SHOW NOTES

Don't let your penis disappear from sight! If you can't see it while standing, it's time to pump up your heart health.

Mindy Mylrea's book "The Plant Powered Penis" is changing the game of sexual organ health. After her husband's prostate cancer diagnosis, Mindy and her husband switched to a plant-based diet and movement-based lifestyle and never looked back.

The book not only covers penises (we’re talking lady health too), but also relationship tips, plant-based recipes, exercise advice…the list goes on. Along with evidence-based eating and science-backed advice, Mindy shares her experience of living a clutter-free life on the road with her husband in their RV, wrapped in fruits and veggies.

When it comes to penises…you either have one or you know one. Check out Mindy’s work and say fuck that to ‘normal’ (what’s normal anyway?) aging and health decline with her workshop, "One Day to Wellness" or her book "The Plant Based Penis".

WHAT’S INSIDE:

  • How can a plant based diet improve penis health?
  • The effect, benefits, and temporary discomfort of changing your gut biome.
  • What is a Blue Zone and how can you replicate this lifestyle?
  • Essentialism: Cutting out the excess to make room for what matters.
