"Peak Moment" (28 minutes)
"What people really think of as adrenal fatigue or burnout rarely has anything to do with the adrenals themselves." Nora Gedgaudas dispels myths, and illuminates various forms of brain dysregulation that can affect our response to stress, as well as our energy levels. She also discusses the importance of a daily sleep-and-activity rhythm based on natural light and dark, a low-carbohydrate diet and supportive supplements. Nora is the author of a new e-book "Rethinking Fatigue —What Your Adrenals are Really Telling You and What You Can Do About It."
"Peak Moment" (28 minutes)
"We're a mining society. We mine the soils, the groundwater, the forest, the minerals, the fish... We're destroying non-renewable resources. There's no future in it." Richard Reese, author of What is Sustainable? and Sustainable or Bust, examines past cultures in search of patterns for a sustainable future. Earlier cultures lived slower and simpler. They limited their populations; many prohibited over-hunting. He concludes that ours is a story of tools: "We're really clever on the tool-making side of the game, and very undeveloped on the foresight side of the game." As resource bubbles pop and industrial civilization collapses, can we use wisdom from sustainable cultures, and not just repeat the same mistakes in the next civilization?
