ALS - To The Moon And Back Episode 13

Send us Fan MailALS to the Moon and Back — Episode 13This episode kicks off the way all great conversations do…With smugness over a 10-minute morning routine and a deep philosophical question: 👉 Can you feel better after just 10 minutes? Answer: no. But you can feel superior. And honestly, that counts. Then we get into it…Somehow (as always), we cover: Teeth, mercury fillings, and why Lisa now has a gap — with a surprisingly good backstory  The wild world of dentistry when you’re navigating ALS  Why your body sometimes knows before your brain catches up  The absolute chaos of modern healthcare access (great… if you can get it) And yes… we absolutely detour into: The manosphere  Social media influence  Politics, privilege, and the occasional rant that probably needed to happen This episode really circles around one big idea:Pay attention to what your body is telling you.Whether it’s: a gut feeling in a medical appointment  something not quite right physically  or just that quiet internal “this isn’t it” Teeth matter more than you thinkThis episode goes deep into something not talked about enough: dental health  inflammation  toxins  and how all of that may connect into bigger systemic issues Also, because this is our podcast and we do not stay in one lane: A very proud dog mum moment (Ony absolutely smashing it 🏆)  The realities of breeding vs temperament  Why dogs might just be one of the best emotional support systems on the planet And then… the real moments A tough day physically and emotionally  What happens when pain, fatigue, and everything else collide  Letting yourself cry instead of holding it all together And one of the most beautiful lines of the episode:“That which you cannot say must be cried out.”Support the showThank you for listening to ALS - To the Moon and Back.
