On this week’s episode of the Live Well Anyway podcast, your host, MacKenzie Koppa, interviews Dr. Rahi who practices in the field of aesthetics, integrative and anti-aging medicine.

They talk about the importance of balanced hormone and vitamin levels for optimal health, as well as the concept of “bio-hacking.” MacKenzie and Dr. Rahi also cover the topics of reducing and managing stress, getting better sleep, modern skincare treatments, how health and relationships affect one another, and so much more.

Today on Live Well Anyway, host Mackenzie Koppa talks with Robyn Conley Downs, author of The Feel Good Effect: Reclaim Your Wellness by Finding Small Shifts that Create Big Change.

Then they transition to talking about a different way of looking at goals and planning for the way our lives are right now. Robyn shares the importance of cultivating daily practices and small habits over aiming for some illusive final product. She gets deeper into some of the ideas behind her research, including cognitive behavioral therapy, and how our thoughts affect what we do.

Today on Live Well Anyway (formerly Cultivating the Lovely), MacKenzie is back on with Katie to talk about an episode that they did a few weeks back and how it surprisingly helped Katie shift perspective on some big things.
