On today's Run to the Top Podcast, the food you're putting in your body will make you feel

a certain way, what you're ingesting via the news and social media.

So first we also need to think about

what are we doing with our bodies

and how are we feeding our bodies.

Welcome to the Run to the Top Podcast from Runners Connect,

where it's all about learning from the best and most inspiring minds in the sport.

Together, we can train a smarter, healthier, and faster running community.

Now here's your host, Stephanie Kay Atwood.

Welcome, this is Stephanie K Atwood Boston Marathon Qualifier Coach and host for the

Run to the top podcast.

The holidays can bring joy and happiness,

but depression, anger, and isolation

can intensify at this time of year as well.

Beth Shaw is an expert in discussing some of the

potential causes of the darkness that can raise its ugly head even more at this

time of year ranging from normal overwhelm and stress to former abuse, trauma, and even PTSD.

Beth helps open the door for people to acknowledge major trauma and find help to live with it.

If you or someone you know suffers more at this time of year,

Beth can help. Her recent book, Healing Trauma with Yoga is perfectly

timed for a segment of our year when long dark days can be even darker for some and when the joy of the season can be

erased instead of embraced without learning some of the tools that can truly help raise our spirits.
