Summary

In honor of Father’s Day, this episode is a little different—and definitely one of the most emotional ever shared on the show. Chalene’s husband, Bret, opens up about a visit with his dad, Bob, who’s been living with Alzheimer’s. It was a tough day, and Bret doesn’t hold back when describing just how heartbreaking and disorienting this disease can be—not just for the person diagnosed, but for everyone who loves them.

What follows is a beautiful recording Bret made during a car ride with his dad on one of his good days. It’s tender, it’s honest, and it’ll absolutely make you reflect on the importance of saying the things that matter—while there’s still time. Get ready for tears… and maybe a reminder to call someone you love.

Hey, before we get too far, I know I've talked a lot about the supplements that I take in powder form. There's a lot of them. And there's, of course, the things I take in capsule form. But I also take a few things in gummy form. And one of the things that I started taking about a year ago, actually, when we were in Europe last year, is saffron. And I started taking it

0:22.2

because I heard about quite a few studies that demonstrated that saffron made significant

0:30.9

improvements in people's, their ability to reduce their anxiety, to feel more relaxed, to have mental clarity. And of course, that's going to

0:41.1

improve your sleep, right? Because that's one of the main reasons why so many of us struggle to

0:46.6

sleep and now you lay down and your brain just doesn't stop spinning. So anyways, I looked into it.

0:52.3

You know me. I love to see a good study and there's been a ton of

0:55.4

them. In fact, April through July 2025, this is brand new, a randomized, double-blind,

1:04.2

placebo-controlled study looking at the impact of taking saffron daily for just three months. And the results I can tell

1:14.1

you were pretty astonishing. A market decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress.

1:20.8

72.3% of the participants in the saffron group achieved significant improvements on their mental state.

1:29.7

So talking about having less anxiety.

1:32.2

And, of course, that I think is one of the reasons why it contributes to fewer sleep

1:36.2

disturbances for those especially who are taking the saffron.

1:39.6

So listen, I'm definitely not telling you to go off your SSRIs.

1:43.1

And if you're on an antidepressant,

1:44.7

that's awesome. But if you're one of those people who you've been thinking like, I don't know,

1:49.7

I don't know what it is, I just, I don't feel as happy as I usually am, or I just feel kind of me.

1:54.7

You know what I'm talking about. You can't put your finger on it, but you're like, I'm just not as happy. Or maybe I'm dealing with more anxiety or things are bugging me more than they usually do. You've heard me talk about Organify for years. And Organify

2:07.3

came out with a saffron gummy. It's actually very, very tasty. So I am going to encourage you,

2:15.3

if you're already a customer of Organify, next time you go to

2:19.7

place an order, go to Organify.com forward slash Shaline. Use Code Shaline. That always gets you 20% off.

2:26.5

I take their immunity daily. I take pure daily. I take their collagen daily. All of these things
