Unraveling Disconnection Syndrome: Navigating Stress, Distractions, and Food Choices

Join us as Shira as she delves into the concept of “disconnection syndrome.” Learn how our brains are wired and the impact of stress and distractions on our decision-making process. Discover the connection between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex, and how it influences our food choices and spending habits. Shira explores insightful teachings from Dr. David Perlmutter’s book, “Brainwashed,” offering practical tips on improving our brain health through diet, digital exposure, and reconnecting with nature. Tune in for an enlightening discussion and share your own experiences with Shira. Don’t miss tomorrow’s episode on clever kitchen hacks! We would be very curious to know if you’ve experienced this at all, and if you have any tips for others on how to improve brain health and stay more connected!

Our Shows
Over 50 & Flourishing
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
