So sit back and grab your favorite beverage and let's get re-acquainted. Hope you like the new show jingle. It was created by my child - Emem Obot.

Hello there and welcome back to yet another episode of "THRIVING WHILE GOLDEN". I know I've been doing this podcast in spurts of on-again, off-again. So what's so new this time? The GREAT NEWS I have to share is that I am finally home in Chicagoland and no longer on the road for work. So what does that mean for you my loyal listeners and 'listeners- to-be"?  Consistency. I'm getting back into a more predictable routine as I launch my new practice "THRIVE Functional Health, LLC". In this episode, I'm simply sharing what it feels back to get back my time from having to be on the road, away from home to getting re-acquainted with my stuff.  if you would like to learn more about my information platform where I host my blog as well as online courses and webinars, please log onto www.DoctorEno.com.  To learn about my membership practice located in Chicago please log onto www.ThriveFunctionalHealth.com I'm looking to grow my listener base, so if you like what you hear please leave me a review on whatever platform you listen to your podcasts and also share this with at least one person.  Connect with me on Instagram @doctor_eno, TikTok @doctor_eno and Facebook.  Be well and THRIVE on! Doctor Eno ;)

When you saw the title of this episode did you do an eye-roll? Well I really can relate, because if my daughter had not shared her experiences from a water drive over a hot and humid summer weekend, I too would have done an eye roll.  However, we need to realize that water plays a critical role in our overall health and wellbeing. So this episode of Wellbeing Wednesdays goes back to the basics.   For more information about my programs and working with me, log onto www.DoctorEno.com

Has this ever happened to you? You put on your fitness watch and you go out for a walk. You're out for say an hour, but when you get home, alas you find out that you only did 5 minutes of exercise? Well, that happened to me a few days back when I took my rambunctious MalteseYorkie Jake on his daily walk. So is there a difference between movement and exercise? In this episode, I explore that question for myself.  Enjoy!

Welcome to Wellbeing Wednesdays which are mini-episodes that focus on some aspect of wellbeing.  We change as we get older and so should our friendships. And yet many of us hold onto friendships that may not necessarily support our personal growth or who we have become. In today's episode, I address the topic of friendship and why I think it is important to develop new friendships as we advance through the different phases of our lives.  

This episode dedicated to the memory of Dr. Susan Moore who died of complications related to COVID19 infection after what can only be described as an unfortunate interaction with a white doctor - Dr. Bannen- who did not feel that it was appropriate to administer a course of the anti-viral remdesevir nor treat her pain.   Dr. Moore took to Facebook live video to share her concern. She was discharged from the hospital and within 48 hours was readmitted to another hospital, but regrettably succumbed to the infection.  In this episode, I discuss some of my personal interactions in the healthcare system that in retrospect were slanted by race.  I don't have all the answers, I, however, believe that we should be willing to shine the light on incidents and address misconceptions (such as black people have a higher pain tolerance and so do not need to have their pain taken seriously). We should also be unafraid to advocate for ourselves, as well as demand the healthcare delivery system advocates for us.  To read the article I referenced in the podcast, please click here For more information about my work, please log onto my website www.Doctoreno.com

Hello there and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can't believe we are just at the end of the first week of 2021 and so much has transpired. I had to make a hard decision to address the trauma I witnessed the US Capitol being invaded by rioters and insurrectionists. Because I know that many others may be feeling the same way also.  In this episode, I go over some tips on what we need to do as a community to optimize our health and wellbeing during these tumultuous times.  For more information about the mission of THRIVE, here is an article from my website.

It's early June as I record this podcast and with the killing of yet another unarmed Black man at the knee of a police officer and the ensuing civil unrest and protests in the shadow of a pandemic that has taken the lives of over 110,000 Americans it literally feels like many of us have been hit by a truck. The trauma is real. And so in this episode I share my feelings around the events. I also offer a resource to help bring some mindfulness as a way to transmute, the stress.  For more information about HeartMath, please log onto heartmath.org.
