Adults with higher cardiorespiratory fitness had significantly lower risks of dementia, depression, and psychotic disorders, showing that your long-term brain health is strongly tied to how efficiently your body uses oxygen during movement Researchers found that even small improvements in exercise capacity reduced dementia and depression risk, meaning your brain responds to gradual fitness gains long before major physical changes become obvious Stronger aerobic fitness improved blood flow, stress regulation, mitochondrial energy production, and neuroplasticity, which helps your brain maintain memory, emotional stability, and cognitive resilience as you age A long-term study that followed adults for more than 26 years found that participants with the highest endurance capacity had a 53% lower dementia risk compared to the least fit group Consistent aerobic exercise combined with proper recovery, adequate carbohydrates, and daily movement habits helps strengthen cardiorespiratory fitness without triggering the excessive stress and burnout that come from overtraining

Are we really “overteaching” phonics, or should there be a hard stopping point where it's not taught past a certain grade?Are current stories trending on popular news outlets aligned with best practices for supporting dyslexic learners?Is the public becoming more educated on how we learn to read, write, and spell?I invited my colleague, Lori Josephson, an author, consultant, and former teacher to discuss these questions. In this episode, we discuss:✅ Common literacy “urban legends”, including “Dyslexia is seeing words backwards” and “look at the picture and guess the word”✅ Why phonics gets a bad wrap and where the Science of Reading is often misunderstood✅ Handwriting, keyboarding, and how they relate to neural connections✅Making instruction more effective by integrating language, print, spelling, and executive functioning instead of siloing.Lori Josephson is an Author, Dyslexia Specialist, and Educational Consultant who is a Fellow of the Orton-Gillingham Academy, a retired Wilson Language Trainer, and holds a Master's Degree in Special Education-Learning Disabilities. She has had the privilege of teaching hundreds of struggling students how to make sense of print and text, as well as the honor of working with thousands of teachers training them how to teach and reach their students using methods based upon the complex brain processes involved in attaining literacy, the body of knowledge referred to as the Science of Reading. Her recently published book, “Calling All Neurons! How Reading and Spelling Happen”, explains how the human brain attains literacy in a fun, easy to understand manner where specialized neurons take the stage to provide this explanation. Lori serves as a Moderator of the wildly popular Facebook Group, Science of Reading-What I Should Have Learned in College, and is on the Advisory Council of The Northern Ohio Branch of The Dyslexia Association.You can connect with Lori in the following places:o Website: lorijosephson.com o LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-josephson/o X: @lorijosephson2o Facebook: Lori Josephsono Instagram: @calling_all_neuronso Medium: https://lorijosephson.medium.com/o Substack: @lorijosephson686067We mentioned the following resources in this episode:Lori's book, “Calling All Neurons!

Most people think enmeshment is love. They think it's loyalty/ being a close family or maybe it's just caring deeply about the people around them, but what if the reason you struggle to make decisions, set boundaries, trust yourself, or put your partner first has nothing to do with love and everything to do with enmeshment? In this powerful conversation, we sit down with therapist Aliza Shapiro to unpack one of the most misunderstood relationship dynamics: enmeshment. We explore how family loyalty can sometimes become control, why so many eldest children become parentified, how cultural expectations shape our identities, and what it takes to build healthy relationships without losing the people we love. Whether you're constantly seeking your parents' approval, feel responsible for everyone else's emotions, or struggle to put your own needs first, this episode will help you understand where those patterns come from and how to begin changing them. If you've ever felt guilty for choosing yourself, this conversation is for you.

The U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging reports that 1.3 million older adults and people with disabilities are under guardianship. Senators Bob Casey and Mike Braun have highlighted serious flaws in guardianship laws, citing alarming statistics from the Government Accountability Office.In New York, the Farley family is embroiled in a legal battle over the guardianship of 84-year-old Dr. Ena Farley. Jonathan Farley claims his mother was unjustly placed under guardianship and removed from her home by police, an incident caught on video. He alleges that his brother Chris, acting as Power of Attorney and temporary guardian, is responsible for her year-long confinement in a nursing home, despite no finding of mental incompetence. Jonathan says authorities and agencies have sided with Chris, denied an independent medical evaluation, and restricted contact with Dr. Farley.A court hearing in June will address the dispute. The Farley case highlights ongoing ethical and legal concerns in guardianship, echoing calls for stronger protection for vulnerable individuals.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCZw6IGlhtj3GuC_VlEOFCAhttp://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & Etowah Insurance LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a gut-punch story with Harley Gambrell — Georgia insurance entrepreneur who built multiple niche agencies from scratch while simultaneously raising a severely autistic son alone, managing violent behavioral crises at home, and fighting the court system just to keep his kid. Harley breaks down the hidden goldmine inside commercial insurance, why niche markets like trucking can replace a full-time income in a single month, and the "business in a box" partnership model he's using to put other entrepreneurs into their own equity-staked agencies. He also reveals his long-game vision: using insurance revenue to build the care facility his son (and thousands like him) actually deserve. This one hits different. It's grit, grief, and a blueprint — proof that the heaviest burdens can build the sharpest operators.
It's Wednesday, June 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark European Christians faced 37 hate crimes in 11 countries Attacks against Christians in Europe surged last month. A report from the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe documented the incidents. Christians faced 37 verified hate crimes in May across 11 European countries. These incidents included arson, vandalism, physical violence, theft, and disruption of worship services. Arson attacks against Christian properties were the highest on record this year. Germany saw the most anti-Christian hate crimes followed by Italy, France, Poland, and Ireland. More Spanish Catholics leaving the church A report from the Spanish government found the number of Catholics in the country is falling. Over 55 percent of the Spanish population identifies as Roman Catholic, down from 90 percent in the 1980s. Meanwhile, secularism is gaining in the historically Catholic country. Forty percent of the population identifies with no religion. Catholicism did see gains among young people. Forty-seven percent of people under 25 say they are Catholic, up from 31 percent in 2023. Oil prices dropped since Trump announced peace deal with Iran Oil prices fell to the lowest levels since March on Monday. This came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal with Iran to end the war between the two countries. Prices for Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, fell nearly four percent on Monday. West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices, the benchmark for North America, fell by over five percent. Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “I think a lot of great things are going to happen in the Middle East right now. And very importantly, the oil is plummeting down, and the stock market is shooting up like a rocket today, like record kind of numbers. “The oil has taken its biggest plunge. And we're into the low numbers, not quite back yet, but we're getting close to the numbers we were before it all started. And the main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agree to that.” 60 U.S. abortion mills closed since January 2025 Nearly 60 American abortion mills shut down since last January. The Trump administration withheld federal grant payments from 144 Planned Parenthood locations in 20 states last year. A report from the pro-abortion Kaiser Family Foundation found that 57 Planned Parenthood locations shut down over the last 18 months. Churchgoing kids twice as likely to attend church as adults The Institute for Family Studies released a report entitled, “Passing The Torch: How Faith Moves Across Generations.” The study found that children from churchgoing families were twice as likely to attend church as adults compared to children from non-churchgoing families. Healthy marriages also contributed to children practicing faith in adulthood. Psalm 71:17-18 says, “O God, from my youth You have taught me, and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds. So, even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim Your might to another generation, Your power to all those to come.” 58 percent approve of out-of-wedlock baby today vs. 70 percent in 2022 A new survey from Gallup found that Americans are becoming more conservative on certain social issues. Eighty-three percent of U.S. adults believe birth control is morally acceptable. But that's down from a high of 92 percent in 2022. Fifty-eight percent believe having a baby outside of marriage is acceptable, down from 70 percent in 2022. And 49 percent support abortion, down from a high of 54 percent in 2024. German and Curaçao World Cup soccer players prayed together And finally, a recent World Cup game ended with players praying together on the pitch. Over the weekend, the German national football team faced off against the team from Curaçao. The island nation in the Caribbean is the smallest nation to qualify for the World Cup. Germany won handily with a score of seven to one. But that didn't stop players from both teams huddling together to pray after the game. German midfielder Felix Nmecha said, “In the game we are opponents, but after the match we are all Christians and brothers. We simply said a little prayer together because we are all very grateful.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, June 17th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

What does it feel like to be a teenager today?In this special Voices of Compassion episode, CHC's Teen Leadership Collaborative takes the mic to share an honest, unfiltered look at the challenges young people are navigating right now. From academic pressure and social media to friendships, anxiety, and the struggle to ask for help, these student leaders offer powerful insights into what it's really like growing up in today's world.Representing youth organizations across the Bay Area, the panel discusses how achievement culture impacts mental health, why some students' struggles go unnoticed, how social media shapes self-worth and connection, and what schools, families, and communities can do to better support young people.Moderated by Natalie Tamburello, Community Engagement Manager at CHC, and introduced by CHC's CEO Dr. Ryan Eisenberg, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from teens about what they need most from the adults in their lives.Whether you're a parent, educator, mental health professional, or caregiver, this episode provides valuable perspective, practical insights, and a reminder that listening to youth voices is one of the most powerful ways to support their well-being.Resources:CHC OnlineCHC's Catherine T.

Including transition programs, supportive communities, and key questions to ask before choosing the right fit. For many autism families, one of the biggest questions is: “What happens after high school?” Parents often spend years focusing on therapies, education, communication, and daily support. But eventually, another important goal comes into view—helping their child become as independent as possible while living a fulfilling, meaningful life. The good news is that more communities, transition programs, and independent living models are emerging across the United States to support autistic teens, young adults, and adults. These programs go far beyond simply providing housing. The best ones help individuals develop life skills, employment skills, social connections, and the confidence needed to thrive. Independence Doesn't Have to Mean Doing Everything Alone One of the biggest misconceptions about independent living is that it means living completely alone without support. In reality, successful independence often includes the right amount of assistance, coaching, and community. Many autistic adults thrive when they have support with: Budgeting and money management Meal planning and cooking Transportation Employment preparation Social skills and relationships Executive functioning Healthcare management Household organization The goal isn't perfection. The goal is helping each individual reach their highest level of independence and quality of life... Click Here or Click the link below for more details! https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/248

He watched two friends get killed in a drive-by shooting and somehow walked away alive. Then one night, he posted the raw, unfiltered truth about his life on Facebook — and received a message from a stranger who said: "I put the gun down when I read your post." That was the moment Garrain Ashe found his purpose.In this episode, I sit down with one of my very first mentors — transformational leader, inner child whisperer, and founder of Artist Power, Garrain Ashe — to explore what it truly means to heal, lead, and live as your most authentic self.✅ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO:→ Why "adults are just deteriorated children" — and how reconnecting with your inner child unlocks everything you've been chasing→ The 4-step framework for emotional sovereignty so you stop being controlled by fear, media, and your past conditioning→ The "magical unlock" — Garrain's signature tool for creating an instant identity shift in under 2 minutes→ How to build a relationship with yourself (and your partner) that leaves nothing unsaid — including Garrain's weekly "Love Meeting" practice→ Why community immersion supercharges your growth faster than any solo self-development strategy ever willIf you've done the work, read the books, and still feel like something is blocking you — this conversation will show you what's actually in the way. Your healing doesn't start when life gets easier. It starts the moment you stop running from the little kid inside who just wants to be seen.

Today we have another Pulm PEEPs Pearls episode about a core critical care topic. Furf and Monty will be giving a high level overview of the use of steroids in sepsis including a review of the relevant literature and recent guidelines, and pragmatic bedside points. Contributors This episode was prepared with research by Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor George Doumat. Dustin Latimer, another Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor, assisted with audio and video editing. Key Learning Points Why Steroids in Sepsis? Steroids do not treat the infection — antimicrobials are always first and remain the cornerstone. The goal is addressing critical illness–related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI), where cortisol production cannot keep up with the overwhelming inflammatory demand of septic shock. Hydrocortisone helps in two main ways: Blunts the dysregulated inflammatory response — tempers the excessive vasodilation and febrile response that drive harm beyond the infection itself. Restores vascular sensitivity to catecholamines — sepsis downregulates adrenergic receptors; steroids turn that responsiveness back on. Clinical takeaway: The first thing you notice is vasopressor weaning (or a bend in the escalation curve) — not a rapid improvement in fever or white count. Caveat: These trials predate modern sepsis phenotyping. None distinguish hyperinflammatory vs. hypoinflammatory responders — they treat all comers. The Evidence: Four Landmark Trials Every IM resident and critical care fellow will eventually journal-club these four. The most consistent signal across all of them is faster shock reversal and reduced vasopressor use; the mortality question remains unsettled. Trial (Year)NRegimenKey FindingAnnane (2002)~300Hydrocortisone + fludrocortisoneMortality benefit in ACTH non-responders; criticized methodology and messy cortisol-response testing; not cleanly replicated.CORTICUS (2008)~500Hydrocortisone aloneFaster shock reversal but no mortality benefit, regardless of cortisol responsiveness. Raised (later allayed) superinfection concern. Cornerstone for abandoning routine cort-stim testing.ADRENAL (2018)~3,800Hydrocortisone aloneFaster vasopressor weaning; no 90-day mortality benefit.APROCCHSS (2018)~1,200Hydrocortisone + fludrocortisoneMortality benefit at 90 days. Bottom line: Faster shock reversal is consistent. Mortality benefit appears in 2 of 4 trials (both used fludrocortisone) but not the others. A 2026 meta-analysis showed benefit for hydrocortisone + fludrocortisone vs. placebo, but not for hydrocortisone + fludrocortisone vs. hydrocortisone alone — suggesting hydrocortisone drives the main effect. Who Gets Steroids, and When? 2021 Surviving Sepsis: Consider steroids for norepinephrine or epinephrine ≥ 0.25 mcg/kg/min for ≥ 4 hours despite adequate resuscitation — a reasonable bedside trigger. Early 2026 update: Moved away from a specific numeric trigger — consider steroids when a septic patient is not responding well to vasopressors or has escalating requirements. Make a clinical decision. (Quality of evidence: low to moderate.) Go faster than the threshold when: Known/suspected adrenal insufficiency or home steroids, or florid pressor-requiring shock on arrival. A practical escalation sequence: escalating norepinephrine → add vasopressin (per VASST) → then add steroids if requirements keep climbing. Do NOT wait for an ACTH stimulation test. It does not reliably predict who responds and only delays treatment. Sepsis is an elevated-cortisol state but can dissociate ACTH and cortisol, and cortisol-binding globulin is depleted — the test is too messy to guide care. What to Give: The Regimen Standard dose: Hydrocortisone 200 mg/day, typically 50 mg IV Q6H. (Original trials often used continuous infusions, rarely used in the U.S.) Some start with a 100 mg bolus to gain control. Higher dose: If chronically on steroids / adrenally insufficient, consider ~300 mg/day (e.g., 100 mg Q8H). Fludrocortisone: Unsettled. The two mortality-benefit trials added it (50 mcg PO/NG/OG daily), but hydrocortisone already has mineralocorticoid activity and meta-analyses don't show added benefit over hydrocortisone alone. Most clinicians omit it — adding it is reasonable and safe, just be honest about the uncertainty. Duration & Tapering Typical course: ~7 days is most common. Trial practices varied (ADRENAL ~7 days; VANISH used a taper after 6 days; some continue until pressors are off). No taper needed. You do not need to taper for adrenal insufficiency after a short course — just stop. If pressors dramatically rebound, you can restart, but most patients have gained the benefit they'll get by day 7. Pitfalls & Safety Hyperglycemia: Expected and must be managed (monitor closely; insulin drip if needed). No signal for major DKA / severe complications in the trials. Superinfection / fungal infection: The most-quoted concern, but the overall literature does not show a convincing, statistically significant increase. Be disciplined about stopping on schedule. Muscle weakness: Steroids can worsen critical illness myopathy; a short 7-day course likely has limited effect, but be aware. Other: GI bleeding (follow general PPI prophylaxis guidance) and sodium disturbances (watch for hyper-/hyponatremia). Two things we know: (1) steroids shorten duration of vasopressor support, and (2) they are relatively safe in sepsis. Whether they improve mortality — and in whom — remains open. The Five Pulm PEEPs Pearls Mechanism: Steroids restore catecholamine vascular sensitivity and blunt dysregulated inflammation. The clinical target is vasopressor weaning, not infection treatment. Evidence: Faster shock reversal is the most consistent finding. Mortality benefit is seen in 2 of 4 trials but not the others — still controversial. Some patients likely benefit; we don't yet know who. Trigger: A practical 2021 threshold is levo/epi ≥ 0.25 mcg/kg/min for ≥ 4 hours. Newer guidance drops the strict number — make a clinical decision based on poor pressor response or escalation. Dose: Hydrocortisone 200 mg/day (e.g., 50 mg Q6H). Adding fludrocortisone mirrors two trials, but meta-analyses find no benefit over hydrocortisone alone. Safety: Steroids appear safe in sepsis. Monitor and treat hyperglycemia; no marked increase in superinfection.

Comedian, historian, and bestselling author Cate Osborn brings a special program derived from her live touring show, Wildly Unprepared. This evening features a curated portion of the performance, exploring the strange and surprising history of magic, spectacle, and belief, along with storytelling and conversation about curiosity, culture, and the stories we inherit. While this program draws from the larger theatrical show, it is designed as a standalone event created especially for Town Hall audiences. The show will be followed by a Q&A with Cate. About the Book Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Cate Osborn, a teaching artist with two master's degrees, realized that things that had seemed routine before were falling through the cracks. An evaluation finally led to a diagnosis: ADHD. Erik Gude, who was diagnosed in his teens, had a slightly different path. While an ADHD diagnosis might explain the cause of some of his academic challenges, it would take years before he understood the other ways it affected other aspects of his life. When they connected as adults, it didn't take long before they realized other people might feel just as lost as they had. With roughly eight million adults living with ADHD and more people seeking and receiving diagnoses each year, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults is a witty, thoughtful, and practical guide to living with ADHD in adulthood, from two people who know what it's like. Featuring the most important foundational information about ADHD, it also explores issues that are rarely discussed, such as navigating sex and intimacy, the healthcare system, and home care. And unlike existing titles on the topic, it is intentionally structured to incorporate ADHD accessibility features by offering bite-sized pieces of knowledge in a format that caters to the unique needs of ADHD readers. Cate Osborn, widely known as Catieosaurus, is an award-winning creator, author, and international speaker whose work sits at the intersection of ADHD, decision-making, sex, relationships, and intimacy. With over 2 million followers and hundreds of millions of annual views across her platforms, Cate has built a global audience by blending humor, storytelling, research, and radical honesty about what it means to live in a brain that does not follow the rules. She is the host of Sorry I Missed This on the Understood network, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, GQ, Cosmopolitan, the Washington Post, and most notably, Ships of the Northern Fleet. Cate is also the creator of the Wildly Unprepared live tour, a one-of-a-kind experience that fuses comedy, history, magic, and audience interaction into a powerful exploration of resilience and chaos.

HEALTH NEWS Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Hirosaki University (Japan), June 10 2026 (News-Medical) Previous research has uncovered associations between diets higher in vitamin C and lower risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. However, few studies have looked directly at vitamin C levels in blood plasma and potential associations with brain structure and connectivity within brain networks. To help fill that gap, Nagaya and colleagues analyzed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and plasma vitamin C levels of 2,044 adults over the age of 64. Specifically, they measured the volume of each participant's gray and white brain matter (accounting for individual differences in total brain volume between participants). They also evaluated connectivity within the default mode network, which is associated with several cognitive functions, such as attention and autobiographical memory. After statistically accounting for other factors the researchers found that participants with lower plasma vitamin C levels tended to have lower gray matter volume, as well as lower connectivity within the default mode network. These findings suggest the possibility that optimal levels of vitamin C in blood plasma could potentially support cognitive function and counteract cognitive decline. However, the findings do not confirm any such cause-effect relationship between vitamin C levels and brain health. Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise University of Exeter (UK), June 11 2026 (Natural News) Researchers recruited 34 healthy, recreationally active young men and assigned them to receive either a placebo, a low-dose tart cherry concentrate, or a high-dose tart cherry supplement, according to the study report. Participants consumed their assigned supplement for seven days before completing a muscle-damaging workout and continued supplementation for three days afterward, for a total intervention of 10 days. The study found that tart cherry supplementation significantly altered the muscle's protein profile following exercise-induced damage. Changes were observed in proteins involved in muscle structure, contraction, cellular repair processes, and immune-cell activity within muscle tissue. These findings suggest that tart cherry polyphenols may influence the way muscles respond to and recover from the stress of exercise. Researchers also detected significant increases in hippuric acid, a compound produced when gut microbes break down polyphenols from tart cherries and other plant foods. Participants with higher levels of hippuric acid tended to maintain better muscle function following exercise-induced damage. Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Washington University in St. Louis, June 11 2026 (Medical Xpress) After analyzing hundreds of biological, psychological, social and environmental factors related to children's development, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that a family's financial situation and the resources and opportunities in a child's neighborhood had the strongest connection to brain development. Socioeconomic factors accounted for about 16% of the variability in measures of children's brain function—far more than IQ, parenting style and health history. As part of the study, the researchers analyzed brain scans from nearly 12,000 children ages 9 to 10 to see how a child's environment, health and regular activities are related to brain development. Of the hundreds of factors examined, the team found that the socioeconomic status of a child's family had the strongest relationship with that child's brain structure and function. Further, the parts of the brain that reflect socioeconomic factors were the same areas most sensitive to sleep and stress, suggesting that socioeconomic disadvantage affects the brain indirectly through disrupted sleep and chronic stress. Of the top 40 variables linked to brain function, 37 were socioeconomic, and of the top 40 tied to structure, 35 were socioeconomic. These included the social and economic resources in the child's neighborhood, akin to the overall wealth of an area. Strong influences included family income, homeownership, poverty rates and access to transportation. The remaining top variables were related to sleep, screen time and stress. Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Kings College London, June 11 2026 (Eurekalert) People who follow a short-term low-calorie diet may have reduced markers of inflammation associated with gum disease. A new study by King's College London highlights how lifestyle modifications could be important alongside plaque control in managing gum disease. The research included 28 patients from across hospitals in Spain, split into two groups – those who followed a five-day restrictive diet, versus a control group who continued their usual diet. Patients who fasted ate 1,100 calories for two days, then 750 calories for three days. The sixth day gently introduced more calories with soft foods – then their diets returned to normal by the seventh day. This was repeated three times in six months, with patients reporting the diet easy to stick to. After six months, samples were analysed from the patients' blood and gingival crevicular fluid – liquid that comes from the small space between your tooth and gum, which helps gums stay healthy and fight germs. Those who fasted had reduced markers of inflammation in samples from blood and gum tissue compared to those whose diets stayed the same, including lower levels of C-reactive protein, a general indicator of inflammation around the body. The fasting group also had reduced molecules linked to inflammation specifically in the gums, compared to controls. Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease Michigan Technological University, Jun 10 2026 (News-Medical) Numerous types of cardiovascular disease and CVD risk factors were linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, with low blood pressure showing the strongest connection, according to a new analysis published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association What are the key findings of the analysis? Adults with hypotension (low blood pressure) were about three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's and nearly twice as likely in the All of Us study when compared to individuals who did not have low blood pressure. Across both datasets, adults with high blood pressure (hypertension) were 1.6 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease, compared to people without hypertension. Participants who had a previous stroke had a 1.5 times higher risk for Alzheimer's disease in the UK Biobank and 1.85 times in All of Us. Those with irregular heartbeat (or atrial fibrillation, also called AFib) were about 1.5 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease compared to those without AFib.

1 Corinthians 14:20 challenges believers to pursue spiritual maturity by thinking with wisdom, discernment, and godly understanding. In this devotional, Whitney Hopler explores the difference between childish thinking and mature faith, reminding Christians that age alone does not produce spiritual growth. God calls His people to remain innocent regarding evil while developing the wisdom and discernment needed to navigate a world filled with competing voices, misinformation, and spiritual confusion. Highlights Spiritual maturity requires growing beyond childish patterns of thinking. God calls believers to be innocent toward evil but mature in wisdom. Prayer helps align our thoughts with God's perspective and guidance. The Holy Spirit teaches believers how to think with discernment. Wisdom involves applying God's truth to everyday decisions and challenges. Regular Bible study strengthens our ability to recognize truth and avoid deception. Mature faith responds thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. Spiritual growth happens gradually as believers consistently seek God.

Full Transcript Below: Think Like AdultsBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; rather, be infants in evil, but in thinking be adults.” – 1 Corinthians 14:20, NRS When my late mother was living in a retirement home, she dated a man who also lived there. Women far outnumbered men in Mom’s community, and out of the few men who lived there, Mom’s boyfriend was the only one who could still walk unassisted. Not only that, but he could still drive! Some of the women there were happy for Mom, but many of her neighbors excluded her from events and gossiped about her and her boyfriend. “That’s so immature!” I complained when Mom told me about it. “They’re acting like a bunch of jealous high school girls. I thought they would know better at their age.” Mom just smiled and said something I’ll always remember: “Reaching a certain age doesn’t guarantee reaching maturity.” In 1 Corinthians 14:20, the Bible reminds us that spiritual maturity in the way we think is important. It points out that we should stay far away from sin by being as innocent as infants toward evil. That way, we can stay pure and sensitive to God. But at the same time, this verse urges us to think like adults. Adults are meant to be mature, thinking carefully and wisely. God wants us to use the amazing minds he has given us. He doesn’t want us to accept every idea without examining it, or follow every voice we hear without first considering if it’s credible. We shouldn’t be reacting to situations immaturely. Instead, we should grow spiritually mature by seeking God and developing discernment to recognize what comes from God and what doesn't. When we think like adults, we can ask questions about any situation to help us adopt the perspective God wants us to have on it. Instead of asking what we want, we can ask what God wants, and instead of asking what’s easiest, we can ask what’s right. This kind of thinking grows as we walk with God, and prayer is an important part of that growth. When we pray, we invite God into our thoughts and decisions. Prayer slows us down so we can connect with God’s presence with us. Then, we can listen to whatever God is trying to tell us and perceive those messages more clearly than we could if we weren’t giving God our full attention. As we pray, we can ask God’s Holy Spirit to work within us. Then, we’ll develop the wisdom we need to say and do whatever is best in any situation we face. Wisdom is more than knowledge. Knowledge tells us facts, but wisdom helps us know how to live like God wants us to live. When we pursue wisdom by asking the Holy Spirit to guide our thinking, we can learn how to recognize what’s actually true versus the lies that spread in this fallen world. We can also learn how to make the best choices, even in the most challenging circumstances. The Holy Spirit serves as our teacher throughout this journey. The more the Spirit shows us how to think like adults, the more we learn to stop reacting to situations like children and to start responding to them wisely, by carefully considering our choices. Along the way, we’ll make mistakes, but God is patient with us as we grow. Just like a child slowly matures into adulthood, our mature thinking develops step by step. Each time we read the Bible, pray for guidance, or seek advice from a wise believer, we take another important step toward mature thinking. Maturity matters! Far too many people are becoming confused and deceived by messages spreading in this world from unreliable sources. As we grow in mature thinking, we become stronger in our faith and better able to help other people. We can point the way to what’s really true and give people the real hope they need. So today, let’s ask God to help us think like adults and grow to become spiritually mature in the process. Together, we can keep learning to think with God’s wisdom. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how important it is for you to think with spiritual maturity, reflect on these questions: In what ways do you sometimes approach your faith with childish thinking rather than mature understanding? How can prayer help you develop wisdom and clearer thinking? What voices or influences in your life might distract you from God’s truth? How can reading the Bible regularly strengthen your ability to discern what’s right? What’s one step you can take this week to grow in spiritual maturity?

Your body needs about 12 grams of glycine daily just for collagen synthesis, but can only make about 3 grams and gets 2 to 4 grams from a typical diet, leaving a notable 10-gram daily deficit in many adults This deficit isn't a disease. It's an evolutionary constraint built into human biochemistry. Our glycine synthesis pathway has a hard stoichiometric bottleneck that can never be overcome, regardless of how healthy you are Collagen makes up 25% to 30% of your total body protein, but its production is limited by glycine, which occupies every third position in the collagen chain. The procollagen quality control cycle destroys 30% to 50% of newly synthesized collagen, and some amino acids lost in this process cannot be fully recycled Over time, chronic glycine deficiency may contribute to changes in skin, joints, bones, gut lining, blood vessels, and sleep quality. Glycine deficiency has been observed across a range of conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, pregnancy, and xenobiotic exposure A 2025 meta-analysis reported that collagen peptide supplementation was associated with improvements in bone and muscle health markers in the populations studied, consistent with the idea that glycine availability may have functional implications
SUMMARY In this episode, Andrew Adams and Nick Taber discuss the challenges adults face in martial arts compared to children. They explore various factors including physical differences, mental barriers, emotional baggage, and the importance of community. The conversation highlights how adults often struggle with flexibility, fear of judgment, and the weight of past experiences, while children tend to learn more freely and adapt quickly. The hosts emphasize the need for adults to find the right martial arts community that suits their needs and to maintain a growth mindset throughout their training journey. TAKEAWAYS Adults often struggle more than kids in martial arts. Physical differences, such as flexibility, impact performance. Mental barriers like fear and self-judgment hinder adults. Emotional baggage from life experiences affects learning. Finding the right community is crucial for adult learners. Kids learn martial arts while growing up, adults are still growing. Adults may question instructors more than kids do. The fear of being bad in public affects adult participation. Adults have more obligations that can interfere with training. A growth mindset is essential for success in martial arts. Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out! Subscribe — whistlekick Martial Arts Radio

"If you're not willing to fail, you won't have the emotional capacity to watch your children fail." In this episode, Heather digs into the very uncomfortable reality that many women are overmothering, overnurturing, and overcompensating in ways that steal their children's ability to become motivated and productive adults. This conversation dives into the delicate balance between nurturing and enabling, guiding and rescuing, and the courage it takes to hold your boundaries when every impulse tells you to step in. At its heart, this episode is about alignment, not as a nice idea, but as a daily practice of telling the truth, trusting yourself, and feeding your own soul so you can show up as a whole, inspired adult. Because when you stop overcompensating, overproducing, and overmothering, you create space for your children to develop the resilience, motivation, and independence they're supposed to build for themselves. What to listen for: ☑️ The game of alignment means opening whatever door you're currently resisting ☑️ Navigating the fear that your child won't become a productive member of society ☑️ Why, if you're not holding boundaries, your life often becomes absolute chaos "I guarantee you have been overmothering, overnurturing, and overcompensating to avoid feeling something. And that overproducing is taking away from your children's ability to be motivated." ☑️ How your body does what's needed to help your create balance and alignment ☑️ If you're always rescuing your children, they can't learn to take care of themselves ☑️ When you feel whole, you're not dependent on anyone else to give you value "It takes so much discernment, self-trust, and inner guidance to know when to literally go in and rescue and guide them, versus when you need to back off and hold a boundary." ☑️ Stop doing things from a place of task management rather than soul alignment ☑️ Learning to feed your soul allows you to learn the lessons your children need ☑️ Why we overcompensate when we realize we can't rescue other people "This is the beauty of women. We are so strong, so nurturing. But the kryptonite of that is we can take away from other people gaining independence, and they become too codependent or interdependent." ☑️ Your kids aren't growing up to be lazy; you've just been doing too much for them ☑️ Who are you if your kids are independent enough not to need you as much? ☑️ When you feed your soul, you become a motivated, inspired, alive adult *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life.

Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club (buy two bottles, get the third free): https://freshpressolive.com/4fugEVW Pre-order Keto Flex Revised and get free bonuses: https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM In 2025, Italian researchers tracked over 16,000 adults and found that one specific fat was tied to dramatically smaller waistlines. Not a drug. Not calorie counting. One simple swap in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the people with the worst waistlines were the ones using the "heart-healthy" oils their doctors recommended. In this lesson, Ben breaks down why seed oils now make up about 80% of the US food supply and drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and stubborn belly fat. Then he reveals the winning fat, extra virgin olive oil, and the three compounds inside it that work unlike anything else in your pantry, including one that affects the same anti-inflammatory pathway as ibuprofen. He also explains why most grocery store olive oil fails the research, and exactly how to spot the real thing. Key takeaways: One fat was linked to waistlines about four inches smaller than the seed oil group People who skipped it had roughly a five times higher risk of abdominal obesity Seed oils have shifted our omega ratio from 1:1 to about 20:1, fueling chronic inflammation Oleocanthal in fresh olive oil affects the same COX enzymes as ibuprofen In the PREDIMED trial, olive oil was tied to a 30% drop in major cardiovascular events Most grocery olive oil is adulterated, so buy single origin, dark glass, and run the taste test Smoke point is a poor marker, real extra virgin olive oil is one of the safest oils to cook with Find All The Ben Azadi Show Sponsorship Deals https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.
