What if you could live in a constant state of gratitude and present awareness, instead of being stuck in the worries and regrets of the past or future? In this episode, Tony Berardo discusses his journey of personal growth and self-improvement. He emphasizes the importance of being self-aware and constantly striving to be better every day. He shares examples of how he identifies his weaknesses and works on them, both in his personal life and relationships. Tony also reflects on the unpredictability of life and the need to let go of control and embrace the present moment. In this conversation, Tony Berardo and Jeremy Grater discuss the importance of gratitude, physical fitness, and the impact of modern society on our health. They touch on topics such as the need for self-awareness, the benefits of physical activity, the decline in food quality, and the dangers of social media. Tony also talks about his podcast, Humanity and Hashtags, where he has objective conversations about wellness, productivity, and social media. Takeaways Strive to be better every day by identifying and working on your weaknesses. Focus on improving yourself and the other aspects of your life will naturally fall into place.

Social media has contributed to a rise in mental health issues and a distorted sense of reality. ---- GUEST WEBSITE: http://www.theberardo.com ---- MORE FROM THE FIT MESS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to The Fit Mess on Youtube Join our community in the Fit Mess Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you’d like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

Summary Have you ever wondered why you feel so groggy and tired after spending hours scrolling on your phone or laptop at night? The blue light emitted from our electronic devices and LED lights is disrupting our natural circadian rhythms, leading to sleep issues, increased disease risks, and other adverse health effects. This episode explores practical solutions to reduce blue light exposure and improve overall well-being. Listen now to this eye-opening conversation with The Light Doctor, Dr. Martin Moore-Ede and take the first step towards reclaiming your natural sleep-wake cycle and overall health. Takeaways LED lights emit blue light in the evening, which can disrupt our sleep, and immune system, and increase the risk of various health problems. Sunlight and outdoor exposure are crucial for our health, and spending time outside in the morning can have significant benefits. Blue blocking glasses can be effective in reducing the harmful effects of blue light, but it's important to choose glasses that block the right type of blue light. Daylight saving time and time zones can have negative effects on our health, and living on our natural sun cycle would be ideal. Simple solutions to mitigate the effects of artificial light include getting outside during the day, using zero-blue light bulbs at night, and avoiding exposure to blue light from screens.

In this episode, bestselling author James Fell discusses his career journey from writing self-help and fitness books to unexpectedly finding viral success posting profanity-filled daily historical facts on social media during the pandemic, which led to a popular Substack newsletter which eventually turned into the book, On This Day In History, Shit Went Down. He discusses the challenges of managing ADHD, anxiety, and obsession while pursuing a creative career. James also shares his concerns for the future and offers advice for success as a creative person. Takeaways Self-help books often over-promise and lack a real plan for change.
