In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

People are not addicted to drugs, alcohol...People are addicted to escaping reality.
-
"The real wealth is health." That hit me really hard.
-
"You have a normal brain -- there's one left in the US and we use it a lot in these experiments..." is absolutely hilarious. She has a spectacularly sharp and cerebral sense of humor. Love it.
-
what a personality isnt it, she is like glowing and connecting and enjoying at the same time commanding and caring .. i love this ..
-
i applauded alone in my room, that talk was so moving
-
Damn she just screams powerful. She is everything!
-
This woman is fantastic. I listened to her for thirty seconds, and am assimilating her as a role model into my life outlook
-
i watch this twice a week every week, this talk is so much better than 99% ted talks that talk about improving personality through impossible ways. This is as real as it gets.
-
she could be explaining why the teletubbies are the biggest influence on society today and i would still be watching intently
-
I have been following Dr. Peeke since about 2006. I love her because she actually cares about women's health and she lives the lifestyle she advocates. I have seen her live and have met her in person (autographing my book). She's a caring person and she resonates with me. This Tedx Talk doesn't cover her research on menopause, but I have followed her advice since I was 35 or 36 and I'm all the more healthy for it. Her big a-ha for us in this talk is that we can change our genetics. I've changed mine.
-
She's absolutely brilliant! And has a killing sense of humor too! Win win! 😊
-
This woman has my full respect.
-
This is a very, very good TED talk. I love her quirky humor. Her content is stellar. We are addicted to everything!

Reading comments ... many wouldn't like her for a mom but i think that she'd make a hell of an aunt that always has your back. :)
-
I have had no processed sugar since 1st June and feel great the changes in my being and emotional state has been on the up.
-
This video literally made me stop and cry. And then rewatch and cry some more.
-
Having a soda and chips while watching this made it hit home that much harder,,, and the hit went to the gut. The lovely thing is knowing I can change it. Best part of this tedtalk is that I can change anything that makes me feel helpless into something that makes me feel empowered. Thanks.

I had a teacher in highschool who would make us stand for about 5mins every day. We would do a few stretches and then just talk to each other. Sometimes she did it more than once if the class seemed sleepier or anxious or what not

You can’t just put your energy into athletics and just break addictive thinking if your stuck in trauma. I study Epigenetics and this style of teaching it is drastically different. Hey who knows it seems to inspire most people in the chat and that is a great thing.
