Dr. Robert Lahita is the director of the Institute for Rheumatic and Autoimmune Diseases and professor of medicine at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine.

In addition, Robert breaks down the difference between autoimmune disease and autoimmunity. He also discusses the importance of “antibiotic stewardship,” and how taking too many antibiotics can leave the body vulnerable to issues with our natural microbiomes within the body. Robert shares, “Keeping our bodies healthy includes a whole-body and mind approach, including taking care of the mind, body, and soul relationship.” TAKEAWAYS Autoimmunity is more common in females than males Meditation can be an important part of life - it helps to bring calmness and clarity, especially when practiced right before going to sleep If your immune system is suppressed, your microbiome will change, which causes a whole host of problems The immune system is the largest system in the body, and therefore one of the most integral and important to maintain 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Good Ranchers (get $30 off with code TINA): https://www.goodranchers.com/ Immunity Strong book: https://amzn.to/3Ob8YJF   🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.

“You cannot get rid of a bad habit unless you acknowledge that you have a bad habit,” shares Steve Poe, a retired pastor and the author of Creatures of Habit: Breaking the Habits Holding You Back from God’s Best. Steve addresses how to remove bad habits from our lives and replace them with good and godly ones. You have to be intentional to break those bad habits in your life because a large portion of our day-to-day activities are habit-based! Ask yourself if your habits are good or bad. Do your habits make you more like Christ or do they make you less like Christ? Anything that takes us away from the nature of Christ is a stronghold from the enemy. A good way to break a bad habit is to replace it with something positive and life-giving.  TAKEAWAYS Breaking a bad habit with intentionality is part of having spiritual discipline You cannot ditch a bad habit unless you acknowledge that you have one Bad habits can become idolatry - we start to worship those things in our lives and it becomes a stronghold Break a bad habit of dishonesty, for example, by replacing it with a habit of honesty 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE NRBTV (watch our show at 3:30 p.m. CST Tues-Fri): https://bit.ly/3GhyA3h GABB Wireless (get $25 off with code TINA): Gabbwireless.Com/promo/Tina Creatures of Habit book: https://amzn.to/3HeNCr4   🔗 CONNECT WITH STEVE POE Website: https://stevepoe.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pastorstevepoe/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-poe-785655a/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pastorstevepoe   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Patriot Mobile (use code TINA for free activation): https://www.patriotmobile.com/ccmom/ TruPlay: https://truplay.games/CounterCultureMom Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM Capstone Legacy: https://capstonelegacy.org/   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM  https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

“A habit is a decision that we have made at some point, and we stop making the decision, but continue acting on it,” says Charles Duhigg, an author and a writer at The New Yorker. This man on a mission talks about the importance of building good habits instead of bad ones. He also discusses how to focus on the cue and the routine of the habits that you would like to change. Shockingly, he shares that approximately 70 percent of our daily activities are dictated by habit. “Most things are a decision. It’s happening automatically,” he reveals. Charles also talks about the importance of optimizing communication patterns by reassessing some of the habits that we have formed over the years. “Change the cues that trigger the bad habit,” he encourages. TAKEAWAYS When we communicate with others, we should think about how we’re praising them and returning love their direction What is one habit that YOU would like to change? What is the cue and what is the reward for your current habits? If you can identify your cues and routine, you can change your habits and experiment on which ones you’d like to implement 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo Breaking Habits video: https://bit.ly/3vo82v6 The Power of Habit book: https://amzn.to/3u1y9HE Supercommunicators book: https://amzn.to/3RVQwG6   🔗 CONNECT WITH CHARLES DUHIGG Website: https://www.charlesduhigg.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlesduhigg/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesduhigg/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY TruPlay: https://truplay.games/CounterCultureMom Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM Capstone Legacy: https://capstonelegacy.org/ LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM  https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

“Everyone needs connection with others,” says Dr. Carol Tanksley. “...That need for intimacy, evil has used to hijack and get us into sex stuff that ends up causing a lot of destruction and shame.” Carol is a licensed OB/GYN, author, podcaster, speaker, and an ordained minister. She talks about the driving factors behind today’s issues of sexploitation and sextortion, which are far more common than people realize. Carol encourages parents to have open and transparent conversations with their children. “Build an awareness and a character in your children long before those moments come,” she posits. She also advocates for parents to have conversations with their kids that are “one level deeper” and to be unafraid of diving right in and talking about things going on in their lives.  TAKEAWAYS Parents will not be with their kids all the time, so they must prepare their children to have character and awareness Everyone needs connection and intimacy Shame isolates us from people and even from God - we have a choice to step into the light and disinfect shame with truth We need to be having conversations with our children that will help them understand their own needs and desires 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the Counter Culture Mom App: https://bit.ly/3d2wSYy SexPectations book: https://amzn.to/47nVYaf   🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.

Riley Basford was a sweet and kind-hearted teen who tragically took his life in 2021 after he was blackmailed by catfishing sextortionists on social media. Riley’s father, Darren, is a School Resource Officer at Potsdam School and is now passionate about warning other kids about the dangers of sharing explicit images of themselves with others. Sextortion occurs when a predator “catfishes” an adult or minor by pretending to be someone they’re not. Once those photos are received, the predator will then use them for blackmail purposes. This can result in tragedy, as it did for Riley. Darren advises that parents should talk openly with their kids and let them know that no matter what happens, they will be there for them - without judgment or shame.  TAKEAWAYS Riley’s experience with sextortion was very fast: he took his life just one day after meeting the catfishing predator, posing as “Megan” Don’t get angry with your children if they share something embarrassing with you - let them know that you are there for them Use BARK to protect your children from social media dangers in your household Check for red flags among your children: are there any signs that they are experiencing negative social media interactions 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Riley’s Story video: https://bit.ly/3sHlIAp BARK Phone: https://bit.ly/TINAPHONE BARK App (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/BARKCCM Riley Basford Legacy Fund: https://nnycf.org/riley-basford-legacy/ NY Girl Commits Suicide Due to Sextortion: https://bit.ly/41Oyo5j Online Blackmailing Leads to Suicide: https://bit.ly/48HLLGY   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy: https://capstonelegacy.org/ LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/ Patriot Mobile (use code TINA for free activation): https://www.patriotmobile.com/ccmom/ TruPlay: https://truplay.games/CounterCultureMom   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM  https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

South Carolina State Rep. Brandon Guffey tragically lost his young son, Gavin, to suicide. His teenage son was pressured to take his own life after becoming the target of a horrifying “sextortion” plot. Sextortion, Brandon explains, is when someone online pretends to be someone they’re not, pressures someone to take compromising photos or videos of themselves, and then uses that material to blackmail them into giving them something they want - typically, money. They can do this to children as well as adults. Stricken by grief, Rep. Guffey worked hard in the Palmetto State to pass “Gavin’s Law,” which makes sextortion a felony offense (aggravated felony if the victim is a minor). He further explains how easily someone can be targeted by sextortion criminals and how to protect your family from those risks. TAKEAWAYS Today’s modern culture normalizes the idea of having online relationships, making kids and teens vulnerable to predators Sextortionists often ask young girls for images and videos, and they use compromising material to extort boys for money It’s important to keep your weapons completely locked up and out of reach of any minors in the house Extortionists often move faster than police do, and they are very difficult to catch 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo Gavin’s Story video: https://bit.ly/49SHSQD Politician’s Bill Passes State House article: https://bit.ly/3vviDUO Sextortion Victim Dies by Suicide article: https://bit.ly/47ohlbx Lawmaker Fights to Save Other Teens: https://bit.ly/3RLeBiS Roblox Includes Sexual Content and Grooming article: https://bit.ly/4aMo81w   🔗 CONNECT WITH BRANDON GUFFEY Website: https://voteguffey.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brandonguffey48 Instagram: https://bit.ly/3MZBq0A X: https://twitter.com/brandonguffeysc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brandonguffey   🔗 CONNECT WITH LESS THAN 3 Website: https://lessthan3sc.org/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/3MZBDAU   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/ Patriot Mobile (use code TINA for free activation): https://www.patriotmobile.com/ccmom/ TruPlay: https://truplay.games/CounterCultureMom Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM  https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
