HTL 016: The NO-Fear Guide to Basic Car Maintenance, with Kiran Gangarum and Jay Kgasago

Podcast
Today’s show is an important one. It is a topic that gave me a lot of anxiety when I was younger, my kids have fear about it now, and I think many people are a bit nervous about this, and that is basic car maintenance. Having a car is awesome. But there are a lot of responsibilities and expenses that come with it. I have talked about some of those in a few MOMINARS on my youtube channel: oil changes, tire pressure, smog check, registration. Pumping your own gas.  I suspect that some of the fear in dealing with these things is the potential expense. A warning light comes on and rather than deal with it, you kind of ignore it hoping it will go away or maybe it is…

HTL 013: FAT to Fit: A Talk About Fat, Fitness, and Food with Personal Trainers, Tim and Judy Avalos

Podcast
Fat To Fit This is a topic that I find really fun and so important. But it is something that most people of all ages do not consider or think about at all.  And that is how our body, our immune system, our health, our mental outlook, and our metabolism are affected by the food we eat! Most of us, nowadays, no longer eat for survival alone. Food is readily available. It is very social. But most food today is calorie-dense and we usually eat without thought. And we eat way more than we need! That, plus a more often-than-naught sedentary lifestyle, has led to some pretty significant health issues and excessive weight in much of our population. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can go from…
