  • In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, we’re discussing “Tips for Arthritis Pain Management”, with special guest Dr. Ken Redcross. More than 350 million people globally suffer from arthritis. In the United States, it’s estimated that one in four adults, or about 58.5 million people, have been diagnosed with arthritis and suffer from arthritis-related joint pain. Pain management can be challenging due to medication side effects, contraindications, and inconveniences, such as dosage, texture, and smell. If you suffer from arthritis, you may find it harder to walk, move around, and enjoy physical activities. When your joints wear down over time, the cushioning provided by the cartilage erodes, resulting in pain and stiffness. To manage the pain and make things more bearable you can follow a few simple tips to improve your quality of life. Physical health is a critical part of Holistic Wealth, and millions of people globally suffer from chronic pain and disability due to inadequate pain management.

    Dr. Ken Redcross is the author of “Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor,” and founder of a unique concierge service providing patient-first treatment through Strategic Health Services. As one of the first full-service concierge, personalized medical practices in the United States, Dr. Redcross’ patient portfolio includes executives, athletes, and entertainers, as well as individuals from all walks and stages of life. Dr. Redcross frequently shares his expertise in managing everyday health challenges embracing both natural and alternative methods of healing.

Dr. Ken Redcross is the author of “Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor,” and founder of a unique concierge service providing patient-first treatment through Strategic Health Services. Your gastrointestinal tract has a vast and complex ecosystem known as the gut microbiome, bustling with a myriad of bacteria, fungi and other microbes. These microscopic organisms are integral not only for proper digestive function and absorption of nutrients but also for engaging in a continuous dialogue with the vast network of immune cells working together to defend your body’s health. As Dr Redcross states in this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast - 70% of your immune system is embedded within your gut, where it interacts with the multitude of microorganisms living in your microbiome.

    A healthy gut microbiome includes a diversity of beneficial bacteria that helps your immune system function at its best, while a disrupted microbiome may undermine its ability to diligently protect your health. When we seek comfort in the foods we love, they don’t always love us back. Having a healthy gut is all about balance. Often, it’s not very practical or even sustainable to banish the foods you love. By following simple tips and making a few lifestyle fixes, you can keep your belly both happy and healthy. It's also imperative to recognize that true abundance encompasses not only material prosperity but also physical health, and mental and emotional well-being.

    What is a healthy gut?

    Gut health refers to the well-being of the digestive system, which is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients and eliminating waste from the body. It is home to trillions of microorganisms—including bacteria, viruses and fungi—that are collectively known as the gut microbiome. 70% of your immune system is embedded within your gut, where it interacts with the multitude of microorganisms living in your microbiome.

This affects our overall holistic wealth – our personal relationships, as well as our mental, physical, emotional and financial health.

    This episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast is geared towards giving you the tools to create Holistic Wealth at Home, and increase harmony and balance at home. Tune in to discover practical tips and strategies to transform your home into a sanctuary of holistic wealth. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve your financial health, or foster stronger relationships, this episode has something for everyone.

    What is Clinical Depression (Major Depressive Disorder)?

    What is anger?

    Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that usually arises in response to a perceived threat, insult, or injustice. Recognizing the gap between expectations and experiences (current situation) can help manage anger. This gap often triggers frustration when reality doesn’t meet our hopes and desires. It is crucial to recognize that the root cause of anger is internal rather than external. Often anger stems from unprocessed emotions from childhood leading to adult emotions that are disproportionate or inappropriate to the situation.

    Healthy vs. Unhealthy Anger:

    Healthy Anger: Motivates action against injustices such as poverty, and inequality.

    Unhealthy Anger: Manifests through destructive outbursts or suppression, causing personal stress, anxiety, and even physical health problems including high blood pressure.

    On Global Holistic Wealth Day on April 9th, it's also crucial to shine a light on the often-hidden threats to our collective holistic wealth. In 2024, despite the growing awareness and emphasis on holistic wealth, several hidden threats continue to pose challenges to our overall well-being. Here are some of the hidden threats to holistic wealth in 2024:

    Digital Overload: The pervasive influence of technology and digital devices can lead to information overload, constant distraction, and a disconnect from real-world experiences. Excessive screen time can negatively impact mental health, hinder authentic human connections, and erode our ability to be present in the moment.

    Work-Life Imbalance: The blurring of boundaries between work and personal life, exacerbated by remote work arrangements and always-on connectivity, can lead to burnout and diminished overall well-being. Striking a healthy balance between professional responsibilities and personal pursuits is essential for holistic wealth.

    Financial Stress: Despite efforts to redefine prosperity beyond financial metrics, economic insecurity and financial stress remain significant concerns for many individuals. Rising living costs, debt burdens, and economic uncertainty can take a toll on mental and emotional health, affecting our overall sense of well-being.

    Environmental Degradation: The ongoing environmental crisis, including climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction, threatens not only the health of our planet but also our holistic wealth. Environmental degradation can undermine our physical well-being, disrupt communities, and erode the natural resources essential for sustainable living.

Loud Budgeting goes beyond the traditional confines of traditional budgeting. It's a dynamic approach that not only allows you to vocalize your constraints around spending, it also helps you to track expenses but also aligns with your core values and beliefs. Loud budgeting is a TikTok trend writer and comedian Lukas Battles started. He explained that loud budgeting is a “way to say no when friends, and family, invite (or pressure) you to spend money you don’t want to”.

    The loud budgeting movement is about financial authenticity and financial transparency. Loud budgeting empowers you to say, “No thanks, that’s not aligned with my current goals.” Loud budgeting helps you to enforce and vocalize your boundaries when it comes to managing your money. This podcast episode serves as a guide, providing 50 practical examples to help keep you accountable to your budget with resonance and purpose.

  • In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our special guest is former CNN Senior Political Analyst, Kirsten Powers. In this interview, Kirsten discussed her popular essay “The Way We Live in The United States Is Not Normal (Why We Are Buying Land in Italy)”. In her essay, Kirsten outlines that “something is deeply wrong with the United States, and I don’t want to live here anymore”. Kirsten outlines several moments of clarity that something was off in the country of her birth, including a moment on a flight home where she sat next to a Danish woman. In her essay, Kirsten states:

    “Another clarifying moment occurred on a flight home from the 2016 New Hampshire primary. I was seated next to a Danish woman, a former mayor who was part of an international contingent observing American democracy in action.

    People in Denmark are often ranked the happiest in the world. I asked her if this was true. She said she didn't know if they were the happiest, but that they were happy. She ascribed this to the fact that their basic needs were met. Nobody worried about running out of money for retirement or whether they could attend college or afford health care. Because education was free and life was affordable, people chose careers based on their passions rather than on earning potential. Yes, they paid 50% in taxes but didn't worry about having what they needed. Nobody graduated from college, saddled with the debt of a small nation”.

    Capitalism Has Gone Off The Rails

    Kirsten’s essay also points to hyper-capitalism that now exists with an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor:

    “When I was growing up, the United States was a capitalistic country, but there were guardrails. They were not necessarily explicit, but they were understood to exist. Those guardrails are gone. Call it hyper-capitalism or late-stage capitalism, or whatever you want: there is no longer even the slightest sense of decency.

    Now there is no shame in making 800 million times more than your average worker at your company, who you would lay off in a heartbeat if it were to your financial benefit—in fact, these people are often glorified as the epitome of the American Dream”.

    “Meanwhile, the rest of America is drowning in credit card debt and running their bodies into the ground, chasing success and stability. Because everything is so expensive and our hyper-capitalist culture tells you your value and happiness are derived from your level of career accomplishment and acquisition of material goods, it starts to almost make sense that people would work so hard to achieve this identity for themselves”.

    “The more we acquire, the more we achieve, the less happy we are. Only now, you also have the problem of cratering mental health and often some sort of chronic illness. We are not designed to live this way, and our bodies are here to remind us of this fact”.

    In Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated book, the issues of income inequality, high debt and high levels of stress, anxiety and burnout are heavily discussed. Kirsten’s substack essay illuminates the fact that holistic wealth is so critical – and that we need holistically wealthy societies.
