Episode Description

Kathryn interviews Author Ronald F. Levant PhD. Why are some men so problematic—unable to describe how they feel, neglecting their health, exploding in rage, and resorting to violence when their manhood is questioned? An internationally recognized psychologist and past president of the American Psychological Association, Dr. Ronald F. Levant has devoted most of his professional career to finding the answer. He now reveals how his work has been driven by his quest to understand men like his abusive father and his perplexing behavior. He shares his personal story—starting with a childhood marked by beatings and fear, followed by an adolescence defined by drinking and delinquent behavior, and a young adulthood marred by depression—to inspire and guide other trauma survivors, especially fathers and sons, as well as the women who love and suffer with them. He earned his doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Public Practice from Harvard University and has served on the faculties of Boston University, where he directed the nationally prominent Father Project.Kathryn also interviews Registered Dietician Karen E. Todd RD.With 'explosive growth' forecasted for the cognitive enhancing nootropic 'smart' food, beverage and supplement market expected to nearly triple to $8.2 Billion by 2032, brain health is clearly a 'top of mind' concern for throngs of wellness-seekers. Registered Dietician Karen E. Todd is here to discuss why nootropics are gaining in popularity as an easy, nutrition-driven way to support brain health and improve cognitive function at any age through one's diet. She has over 25 years of experience in exercise performance and nutritional product development and education. She holds Bachelor of Science degrees in both Scientific Nutrition and Food Science Technology from Texas A&M University and an MBA from Nova Southeastern University. Karen is the Vice President of Global Brand Marketing for Kyowa Hakko and sits on the executive board of the Council for Responsible Nutrition and chairs the Women in Nutraceuticals (WIN) initiative.
