Higgsfield says it open-sourced its 5.4 billion dollar app. It's fake. We went into the GitHub and all you get is a thin UI that calls their paid API. No weights, no training, no way to build anything without paying them. We break down what they actually released and how creator networks make a launch like this look organic. Then a miracle: Neuralink restored speech for a man who lost it to ALS, and we show him talking to his wife by thought alone. And Figure's Helix 2.5 sends robots into 30 homes they have never seen to make beds and fold laundry, impressive, slow, and it raises the question of who pays when one throws out your jewellery.Try Autodesk Flow Studio:http://flowstudio.comSources:1.

Ein Mitarbeiter leert die Rattenfallen nicht. Steht in seiner Aufgabenbeschreibung, alle anderen machen es, er nicht. Seit Monaten. Als ich diesen Fall im Webinar auf den Tisch gelegt habe, kam dieselbe Antwort, die immer kommt: Der verweigert die Arbeit. Dann stellte eine Teilnehmerin eine Frage, und die ganze Sache sah anders aus. Was du aus dieser Folge mitnimmst → Warum die meisten schwierigen Gespräche schon kippen, bevor sie angefangen haben → Der Unterschied zwischen einer Deutung und einer Tatsache, und warum du ihn im Alltag nicht bemerkst → Warum ausgerechnet fachlich starke Leute als Führungskraft härter aufschlagen → Was Führung mit einem Handwerk zu tun hat und warum dir das nie jemand gezeigt hat Das Live-Webinar: Führen mit Klarheit Dienstag, 22. September und Mittwoch, 23. September, jeweils 8 bis 10 Uhr. Zwei Vormittage, bevor dein Arbeitstag richtig losgeht. Du machst dein KAIROS Entscheiderprofil und siehst über acht Dimensionen, wie du unter Druck tatsächlich entscheidest. Danach kommt das Handwerk: Delegation, schwierige Gespräche nach dem Drei-Ebenen-Modell aus Harvard, Führung nach oben. Am zweiten Tag baue ich live einen KI-Coach, der dein Profil kennt. Gearbeitet wird an deinem eigenen Fall. Nicht an Beispielen. Beide Tage bauen aufeinander auf. Am Ende von Tag 2 stelle ich mein Leadership Programm vor und mache ein Angebot.

Vielleicht bist du nicht zu schwach, zu undiszipliniert oder zu wenig ambitioniert.Vielleicht bist du einfach zu sehr damit beschäftigt, niemanden zu enttäuschen.Du willst erfolgreicher werden, mehr verdienen, Grenzen setzen und dein eigenes Leben führen – doch sobald du beginnst, über die Erwartungen deines Umfelds hinauszuwachsen, entsteht dieses merkwürdige Schuldgefühl.Als würdest du die Menschen verraten, die du liebst, nur weil du dich weiterentwickelst.In dieser Folge sprechen wir über den „unsichtbaren Vertrag“, den viele Menschen bereits in ihrer Kindheit lernen: Solange ich mich so verhalte, wie es von mir erwartet wird, gehöre ich dazu. Sobald ich aus der Reihe tanze, riskiere ich Ablehnung.Und dieser Vertrag kann dich noch Jahrzehnte später beeinflussen.Du erfährst, warum Schuld und das Bedürfnis nach Zugehörigkeit dein Wachstum bremsen können, weshalb du dich manchmal selbst klein hältst, obwohl niemand dich direkt dazu zwingt, und wie du erkennst, ob du gerade nach deinen eigenen Werten handelst – oder lediglich versuchst, die Erwartungen anderer zu erfüllen.Es geht nicht darum, rücksichtslos zu werden.Es geht darum, aufzuhören, für dein eigenes Leben ständig die Erlaubnis anderer einzuholen.Du darfst erfolgreicher werden. Du darfst mehr verdienen. Du darfst Grenzen setzen. Du darfst dich verändern. Und du darfst ein Leben aufbauen, das dein Umfeld vielleicht nicht versteht.Der Vertrag, den du als Kind unterschrieben hast, muss nicht für den Rest deines Lebens gelten.Es wird Zeit, ihn neu zu schreiben.Let's go, Champ. Action. Power. Vorwärts.

Ik ben geen Formule 1 fan. Maar stelt u zich eens deze situatie voor. De F1 racewagens worden steeds sneller, de topsnelheden worden steeds hoger en de risico’s steeds groter. De coureurs zitten na een wedstrijd bij elkaar en besluiten: zo kan het niet langer. Als dit zo doorgaat vallen er doden. Het laatste dodelijke ongeluk was in 2014 en dat willen ze graag zo houden. Daarom spreken ze af om niet meer op maximale snelheid te rijden. Dat is ongeveer wat er zich nu in de AI wereld afspeelt. Diverse AI modellen zijn op hol geslagen, zonder dat de makers het door hadden. En een paar jonge onderzoekers hebben ontslag genomen en zeggen nu dat AI de mensheid kan vernietigen. In reactie daarop riepen de AI topmannen; Dario Amodei van Anthrophic, Sam Altman van OpenAI en Elon Musk op om het AI innovatietempo te vertragen. Het wordt allemaal veel te gevaarlijk. De aandelenmarkten reageerden onmiddellijk. De koersen van de AI bedrijven gingen onderuit. Minder investeren in AI betekent minder groei en minder winst voor de toeleveranciers zoals ASML en Siemens Energy. Aan de andere kant schoten de koersen van de AI-slachtoffers zoals, RELX, Wolters, Adobe, Duolingo omhoog. Als AI minder snel oprukt kunnen de huidige business modellen van deze bedrijven wat langer mee. Maar nog even terug naar die Formule 1 coureurs. Ze spreken af om met z’n allen wat minder hard gaan rijden. Maar de vraag is: gaan ze dat ook daadwerkelijk doen? Haalt Max Verstappen echt zijn voet van het gaspedaal in het heetst van de strijd? Mijn lekenmening zegt van niet. Hetzelfde geldt voor de AI wapenwedloop. Natuurlijk zeggen ze dat ze met z’n allen het investeringstempo gaan verlagen. Maar iedereen wil winnen net als Max. De kans dat ze vrijwillig hun investeringssnelheid gaan verminderen lijkt mij klein. Overigens zou een temporisering niet eens zo slecht zijn. Op korte termijn zijn de economische effecten simpel en duidelijk. Op langere termijn is dat maar de vraag. Big Tech gaat komende jaar U$ 900 miljard in AI investeren, bijna 3% van de totale Amerikaanse economie. Dat is een enorme impuls. Maar als het datacenter er eenmaal staat is dat effect weg. Bovendien zijn deze datacenters vaak naar binnen gehaald met gunstige belastingdeals, dus de belastinginkomsten zijn beperkt. Wat resteert is een groot lelijk gebouw dat veel water koeling nodig heeft en energie slurpt. Voor mij als gebruiker prettig dat ik in no-time een AI filmpje kan maken. Maar voor de buren van dat datacenter is het minder aangenaam. Voor beleggers is vooral de vraag hoelang de angst aanhoudt. Als koersen zo hard gestegen zijn, zijn beleggers gevoelig voor dit soort verhalen. Eerder dit jaar zagen we dat ook toen Citrini Research hun rapport The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis publiceerde. De enorme koersreactie van toen is menigeen al weer vergeten. Waarschijnlijk gaat het met de huidige angstgolf ook zo. Want iedereen kan roepen dat de snelheid naar beneden moet, maar ze willen allemaal winnen. Dus blijft de verleiding groot om in deze moordende wedstrijd het gaspedaal maximaal in te trappen. Net als Max. Over Corné van Zeijl Corné van Zeijl is analist en strateeg bij Cardano en belegt ook privé. Reageer via c.zeijl@cardano.com.

Als ik aan vrouwen vraag wat het grootste probleem is waar ze op dit moment tegenaan lopen dan is het meest gegeven antwoord: ik voel me niet meer mezelf. Ik ben mezelf kwijt. En ergens gebeurt dat natuurlijk ook zo rond de overgang. Je lijf verandert. Dingen die altijd voor je werkten, werken ineens niet meer. Je hebt minder energie, je kleding zit te strak of staat gewoon niet meer, je herkent jezelf soms nauwelijks in de spiegel en ondertussen krijg je van alle kanten te horen dat je gewoon minder moet eten, meer moet bewegen op tijd naar bed moet en meer discipline moet hebben. Maar je lichaam is niet het probleem. Je lichaam weet prima wat het moet doen. Het probleem is dat je nooit hebt geleerd wat de nieuwe spelregels zijn voor deze fase van je leven. Je hebt nooit geleerd hoe je vanaf nu het beste je lichaam kunt ondersteunen. In deze podcast neem ik je mee in wat er werkelijk verandert in je tweede helft en waarom het wat mij betreft allang niet meer alleen gaat over afvallen of meer krachttraining. Het gaat over jezelf weer terugvinden. Over begrijpen wat je nieuwe lichaam nodig heeft. Over fit en vitaal ouder worden. En misschien nog wel het allerbelangrijkste: over vrijheid. Want we hebben in onze tweede helft wel wat beters te doen dan van het ene naar het andere dieet blijven rennen, toch? Heel veel luisterplezier! MEER WETEN?

We trappen af! Een beetje onwennig. Als twee chimpansees die na een lange en koude winter weer het buitenverblijf ontdekken. Maar tegelijkertijd ook zo enthousiast als twee koeien die het weiland in rennen. Lang verhaal kort. We zijn er weer! We drinken een Kaapse Louise. Die kenden we al.In deze 2-wekelijkse podcast praten Juan en Marc kort bij. De één zorgt voor het bier en de ander voor het onderwerp. 

What if your thoughts could allow you to feel the texture of an object, type a message or move a robotic arm? How does the brain translate thought into physical movement, and can technology bridge the gap for paralyzed patients, whose pathways are broken?University of Chicago neuroscientist Nicholas Hatsopoulos is transforming that fundamental neuroscience into life-changing medical technology. By implanting microelectrode arrays directly into the brain, his team decodes the neural patterns that fire when a person intends to move. This brain-machine interface technology is allowing patients who are paralyzed or have ALS the ability to control robotic limbs, reach for objects, and regain touch sensation through their thoughts.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Neil Nathan about the intersection between brain symptoms and complex illness. Dr. Nathan has practiced medicine for over 50 years. He is one of the leading experts in complex chronic illness and mold toxicity — author of the bestselling Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and Chronic Environmental Illness and The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide. I am grateful to call Dr. Nathan a mentor and colleague. His pioneering work has been responsible for my healing from chronic illness, as well as that of many patients I've treated. Together, we co-lead a small peer group (within the larger mentoring group he provides with Marie Matheson, ND), supporting practitioners who treat those with complex chronic illness.In this episode we discuss:03:43 – Dr. Nathan's path to understanding complex illness11:20 – Why complex illness is rising and underrecognized19:30 – Why new medical ideas take decades to reach patients23:15 – Mold, Lyme, and long-COVID: the “big three” root causes25:58 – The limbic-vagal-mast cell “trifecta”30:31 – Are some people born more vulnerable?44:39 – The risk in “just do limbic retraining” advice47:35 - Biochemical contributors49:26 – Structural root: jaw and cervical instability53:58 – Differentiating Between Mold, Lyme & Long-COVID58:49 – A message of hope, and where to learn moreFull Transcript belowYou can find Dr. Nathan's books, consultations and mentoring program through his website at neilnathanmd.com.

As you know, in the mental health space in psychiatry, there's a lot of recognition of a dysregulated nervous system, threat response in the body, but oftentimes that's attributed to external forces or trauma, and not necessarily internal threats that we see, obviously, in complex chronic illness, which we'll be talking about. There's also not the recognition of the relationship between physical symptoms and brain-related symptoms. So I know you're going to help us connect a lot of these dots. As we sort of just lay the groundwork for what complex chronic illness is — when in your path did you start to recognize the distinction, when was the beginning of your work and appreciation of complex health issues?Neil: Okay, there are two answers to that question. First, when I went to medical school, my hope was to become a healer. And I was very disappointed that when I got there, I realized they weren't going to teach me to be a healer. And back then I used to question my professors at medical school — why do you do it this way, and how is that? And I kept feeling in all of our interactions that we were missing something. And my professors would go, “Okay, Mr. Wise Guy, smart guy, what are we missing?” And I'd go, “I don't know, I just know we're missing something.” Later I would come to recognize that we were missing the emotional and spiritual component to whatever was affecting people in their illnesses. And I have language for it now — I didn't then. The person in medical school who influenced me the most was Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, who I view as my main mentor in medical school. She, unlike anyone else, had a one-and-a-half-hour seminar once a week. Back then there weren't video cameras — you were in a small confined room with a two-way mirror, and you're sitting there watching someone do this. And she would simply interview one of her patients. She was a psychiatrist, but she was the only one in medical school who demonstrated how to really listen to people, how to really communicate with them, and not have this standard review of systems — here's my questions, here's your answers, and that's what I do, and this is what I write up. She was really listening. She was trying to really take in, okay, what happened to you, and what's going on with you? So I would want to give her credit as a role model to change how I learn to listen. Okay, that was step one.I'm going to fast forward to the early 1980s. And I am, at that point, the medical director of a regional pain clinic. And we are starting to see a whole bunch of patients who had this complicated process of fatigue, unrefreshed sleep, irritable bowel syndrome, and pain migrating all over their body. And back then we called it fibrositis. Now we call this fibromyalgia. And so whenever medicine encounters a thing that they don't know what they're looking at, it's psychological until proven otherwise. And people would get therapy, and they would take antidepressants and anti-anxiety agents. Didn't help much. And so it became clear to me that we didn't understand what this was at all. It was not psychological. Something was going on in their bodies — now I recognize it as an inflammatory process. Back then there was no concept of that at all. And then, slowly, in the early nineties, we began to find pieces of the puzzle to understand what was triggering fibromyalgia. I was working back then with Jacob Teitelbaum, who did a lot of work with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, and we both independently came up with an understanding that a deficiency of magnesium, DHEA, adrenal issues, thyroid issues, sex hormone deficiencies, GI dysbiosis, and food allergy — if we looked at those and treated those, the majority of people with fibromyalgia got cured. It was different for different patients. It was not like there was one thing that caused it. And as time evolved, we began to realize that there was lots of other biochemical imbalances in the body that would contribute to this kind of a process that represented chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.We discovered that Lyme disease and coinfections was a huge piece of that. And later still we discovered that mold toxicity was a huge piece of that. And so my understanding of the complexity — and it's not really confined to chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia at this point, we're really talking about almost all chronic illness — with a huge psychological component to that. So we've begun to understand this as essentially some version of inflammation. And if we start to really dig into what are the potential causes of that inflammation, we can make a huge impact for them. So this is a multi-year evolving understanding of how a person's genetics, biochemistry, physiology impacts their whole being in every way. And that inflammation extends to the nervous system, contributing greatly, if not causing directly, a large number of what are now called psychiatric diagnoses.Courtney: Right. So even among those patients that you were seeing — you were seeing, I'm assuming, depression, anxiety, brain fog?Neil: Yeah, the vast majority of our patients with mold toxicity have brain fog and anxiety, depression, OCD behaviors, mood swings, depersonalization, derealization. I mean, all of that is super common in our patients.Complex Illness Is Rising — and Underrecognized11:20Courtney: Do you feel like this is more recognized now — or do you feel like the number of people being hit with these complex health issues is increasing — or both?Neil: Both. I would love to say that the medical profession is increasingly recognizing all of this as important, but that recognition is coming very, very slowly. The majority of folks out there, if they were to list the symptoms that they had, their doctors would basically look at them like, “I have no idea what's causing it, so this must be in your head.” And that is the message they're getting from their physicians at this point. So many patients are being gaslighted, so many patients are being told it's in your head. And the repercussions of that are the family is hearing that same message, and the families become less supportive of those people, because they're saying, “This is not real, so why would I support you? This is still in your head, go get your head fixed.” And they're wrong, and it's really a travesty. But so yes, very slowly, this awareness is growing. There are now more medical meetings that I'm aware of where psychiatrists can learn more about this than there were ten, fifteen years ago, for sure. But not enough — it's still not enough.The other part of that is some of the main triggers for this inflammatory process are increasing. So we're seeing more and more mold toxicity, we're seeing more and more Lyme and coinfections, partly because the environment that we are all exposed to has gotten extremely increasingly toxic. So it's now known, for example, that there are 350,000 new chemicals in our environment than existed 70 years ago. The vast majority of those have never been tested for safety in human beings. So human beings have a tremendous amount of chemical exposure that they never had before. Human beings have a tremendous amount of EMF, electromagnetic exposures that they never had before in the history of the human race. So these exposures are cumulative. Our major organs, like our liver and our kidney, that have to deal with toxicity, are overloaded. And so, yes, we are seeing an epidemic of a whole bunch of these conditions. In children, we are aware that autism has skyrocketed — it went from one in several thousand kids to one in thirty kids in many states now have autism. And forgive me, but the pediatric profession is not taking this seriously. It's like, “Yeah, that's sad, it's unfortunate.” It's like — really, you don't want to look at this? This means one in every three kids born are getting autism — does that not concern you? But, forgive me, the medical profession is very slow to embrace new information, and that is really to the detriment.We're seeing an epidemic of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, all of which involve neuroinflammation. We've seen already an epidemic of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. And all of these things are interrelated, because — yes, I'm supposed to be an expert on mold toxicity, and I probably am — but mold toxicity doesn't exist in a vacuum. You have mold toxicity as one of multiple environmental toxins we're being exposed to. It is simply one of the most common, the easiest one to diagnose, because we have tests for it. We don't have tests for the hundreds of thousands of chemicals out there. We're just beginning to be able to have some tests that will tell us what's in someone's body that might be making them sick.Courtney: Right, right. And I would imagine that this typical medical model of looking for one cause to autism, one cause to dementia — it's a completely different way of thinking. When you get away from that and you look at complexity of the human body, that way of thinking holds back the research, it holds back any progress.Neil: What I think is helpful for people to look at is: we are all uniquely, biochemically, genetically different. And so the same inflammation in one person could trigger cardiovascular disease, and another person could trigger Alzheimer's, and another person could trigger chronic fatigue. So we need to take a step back and go, okay — and this is not a brand new idea. For the last ten years, there are many papers in the medical journals that are saying chronic illness is almost certainly an inflammatory process. Now, it hasn't really integrated into what people are being taught in medical school or in their residency program. But this is not a brand new idea, and there's tons of medical research documenting that.What behooves us as physicians is to look at every human being and go, “Okay, this is your named chronic condition — what are the triggers for you?” We have to kind of be like a medical detective and dig in and go, okay, what's triggering your inflammation, so I can treat the cause — not put a band-aid on it, which is, forgive me, in the psychiatric field, taking antidepressants and benzodiazepines. That's a band-aid. It's a helpful band-aid, it could be a very important band-aid, help someone to function. But you really need to be looking at, okay, I have this great band-aid, but wouldn't it be nice to actually cure this? And I think that would be, for me, to your audience, Courtney, my take-home message — which is always look for the root cause, because it is possible that we will find that root cause, and you won't have whatever name you've been given, depression, anxiety, OCD, for the rest of your earthly life. Maybe.And I've treated thousands of people successfully here. So this is not — I've had one or two successes here — we're talking thousands of people that have responded to this way of practicing medicine, with fabulous results. People who've been literally bedridden, incapacitated by their illness, are now out there working again and being with their family and living full lives. So that's the take-home message.Courtney: Right. Which makes it so satisfying to treat. And I mean, I can speak to that, having experienced it personally. But at the same time, you do get pushback from other areas of medicine that don't give it necessarily credibility, even though people, on the other side, are thriving and healing, and it's really amazing.New Medical Ideas & Research Take Decades to Reach Patients19:30Neil: You know, the history of all science, including medicine, is: new technology, new drugs are fast-tracked to get into our lives. Ideas, not so much. Typically it takes a generation — twenty, twenty-five years — for a new idea to come into acceptance. And the first reaction of any science, medicine included, is to get into denial, which is, “There isn't enough data to support this concept, and I can't be perceived as practicing bad medicine by embracing a concept that isn't proven yet.” But that means that all of their patients are going to have to wait twenty years — until suffering — until that person goes, “Now there's enough evidence, now I can learn how to do this, and now I'll begin to help you.” I'm not wired that way. I'm wired that if I have a suffering person, and I have something that I can offer them that might help, I'm going to try it. I'm going to do it in the safest way I know how, but I can't leave someone dangling for twenty years and say, “I'm sorry, I have to wait until my profession figures out what to do.” That's not me.I worked at the medical school at the University of Minnesota Duluth for eleven years. And I was not only on the faculty, but I was on the committee that determined what new information was put into the curriculum. For example, AIDS was just coming into vogue at that particular point, and it was obvious that we needed to have courses on AIDS for the medical students, because this was big. What a lot of people wouldn't understand is that each department in a medical school fiercely guards its time allotment. Everyone gets a certain number of hours, and they're not open to adding new things or giving up any of their time slots for anything new. And so what I would watch is, as new information came into the medical school, each department fiercely refused to add any new lectures in their department, or give up any of the time that they had to anybody else to add that information. So we're talking about university politics now — this is not even medicine, this is people guarding their turf. And I don't even think that would occur to any consumers, that that would happen like that — well, certainly, why would that happen in a medical school? Well, it's because human beings are responsible for each department, and they guard their own turf. So it's a kind of an insidious process about how new information isn't embraced by the profession, to go into the medical school curriculum.Mold, Lyme, and Long-COVID: The “Big Three”23:15Courtney: I want to come back to what you were saying about inflammation being at the core of chronic illness and complex chronic illness. And when it comes to complex chronic illness, whether it's SIRS or mast cell activation from mold or Lyme, we talk about multiple systems being affected — the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine, skin, just you name it. If the inflammation then is from a source of oxidative stress or a major insult — would you say that mold toxicity is the most common, or would you put Lyme or now even COVID on a par with that, as far as the deepest roots causing the inflammation? Not that the chemicals, metals, and everything else we're being exposed to aren't at play.Neil: In my experience, those three are the biggies — mold toxicity, Lyme with its co-infections, and long-haul COVID. Those are the three most common. Of those, in my experience, mold is the most common, and the one that has to be treated first if you have some or all of them. So, for example, in people who have long-haul COVID or Lyme, often their body will not respond to that treatment optimally until you first get the mold out. So there's a little hierarchy of what we do, in what order. And then within that hierarchy, there's also an order in which we do things for people to respond optimally. So, for example, mold toxicity will trigger — and Lyme and Bartonella will do the same thing — limbic dysfunction, vagal nerve dysfunction, and mast cell activation in most of our patients. Not all, but in most. And the longer they have it, the more likely those things are going to get triggered. Once somebody does not feel safe — and the systems that we have in our body to monitor that safety and to keep us safe are the limbic system, the vagal system, and mast cell activation — we have to get the body safer, or it will not be able to take what you need to take to treat mold or Lyme or long-haul COVID. People will literally shut down — their limbic system will essentially go, “Mm, I see what you're trying to do there, and I can't let you do it, because I'm not sure that's safe.” And it will literally not allow people to do it.The Limbic-Vagal-Mast Cell “Trifecta”25:58Courtney: So with one of those, or a combination of those, on board, these threat mechanisms would be kicked up — mast cell activation, limbic system dysfunction, autonomic nervous system dysfunction. If they look similar, or a timeline isn't easily helping parse out what might be primary, how able do you feel to make the distinction — versus if mold is present, starting there?Neil: If we look at our patient's symptoms, they will point us clearly to whether there's a limbic or vagal or mast cell piece, to be specific. The limbic system's job involves primarily monitoring and regulating and keeping emotion and sensitivity in check. So any symptoms that involve those two things are limbic almost by definition. So on the sensitivity side, if someone describes an increased sensitivity to light, sound, touch, smell, chemicals, EMFs, food — they're already telling me my limbic system is dysfunctional. In some ways it doesn't matter what the cause is; if someone has this increased sensitivity, regardless of the cause, I know we have to treat their limbic system first.On the vagal side, the symptoms would primarily run into symptoms that involve the autonomic nervous system, which would involve things like temperature dysregulation, palpitations, insomnia, POTS, blood pressure dysregulation, or symptoms that involve the gastrointestinal tract, because the vagus nerve controls almost the entire intestinal tract. So any GI symptoms — gas, bloating, distension, reflux, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain — again, that would lead me to go, the vagus is involved here. So by listening to my patient's symptoms, I can immediately know what's dysregulated here, and what my first treatment arm will be — to get the limbic and vagal systems back up and running again at a safer level, because otherwise our patients aren't going anywhere. They can do binders and antifungals and antibiotics for Lyme, and they will get worse. Their body will basically go, “I know I might need that, but why are you doing that? I can't even get to a place of safety to respond. I'm on self-preservation mode here.”And in the mast cell category — again, all of the same symptoms that could be mold or Lyme or long-haul COVID could also be mast cell. Again, it's a multi-systemic process. A tip-off, which I find very helpful, is if someone describes a symptom that comes on immediately after eating, sometimes while eating. Nothing causes that kind of reaction that fast except mast cell activation. Allergy — and most people, if they do have some symptom that comes after eating, they're going to be thinking, “It must be what I ate, what did I just eat?” But it's not food allergy, it's mast cell activation. In that context, many of our patients have already observed that they can eat a particular food one day and have a very strong reaction, and the next day, same food, nothing. And they'll go, “That doesn't make sense — if this was allergy, I ought to react the same way every time.” And so that is classical mast cell activation, which fluctuates. So — for the first part of your question — that's what I'm looking for. When I take a history, when I talk with patients, I'm going to really dig into: are they already manifesting symptoms that clearly tell me what we need to do first, to get them safer, so that now they can respond properly to the treatment that will really get at their root cause.Are Some People Born More Vulnerable?30:31Courtney: I know you take deep timelines when you meet with someone, so you're really accounting for a lot. But one of the things that I think about a lot is: who is most vulnerable? Do some of us come into the world already with a vulnerability similar to Elaine Aron's highly sensitive person model? And then maybe there's trauma, early attachment disruption — and already vulnerabilities — but then the toxic load that we're all experiencing. But then something like mold or Lyme then hits. And then, all the years and all the patients you've seen — I'm curious how many you feel already had sort of a vulnerability. Not that they ever had to really become sick necessarily, but already had a vulnerability.Neil: Honestly, I would say most. Our limbic system evolves from the time we were in our mother's uterus, so that almost no one has had a perfect childhood. And so whatever someone has had to deal with in childhood — it could be recurrent ear infections or throat infections, or it could be a surgical procedure, or it could be parents, both of whom worked and they didn't get enough time, or they could be abusive parents, sexually, physically, verbally abusive — whatever someone has been exposed to, that forces their limbic system to have to deal with it. Because that's the job of the limbic system, is to keep you safe. So your limbic system is basically going, “Okay, I'm just a little thing here, what do I need to do to cope with this?” And so their limbic system slowly, inexorably, becomes more and more hypervigilant to protect them. Let's say someone had an alcoholic parent, and they would come home, and you were never sure what their status would be — and so you'd kind of hold yourself back from that, which is, “I've got to see what this person is showing me, is it safe for me to come up and give them a hug, or do I want to hang out in my room for a bit until whatever this is settles down?” That's the beginning of this limbic hypervigilance process. And then it just goes on through life. So that if you've had difficult relationships, or surgeries, or severe infections, or anything in the physical or emotional or spiritual plane, a betrayal of some type — the limbic system becomes slowly more and more and more hypervigilant, when the straw hits the camel's back. And that straw could be COVID, or Lyme, or mold toxicity, or another infection of some type — that's the straw that breaks the camel's back. At that point the limbic system goes into shutdown, which — we know the vagal system goes into shutdown, literally, that's something the vagal system is trained to do. It's “okay, we are so unsafe that I'm shutting down my systems here.” And so that predisposes to illness. But I want to tie that back to inflammation, which — a lot of people don't understand that the vagus nerve, for example, controls inflammation in the body also. There are branches of the vagus that go to the spleen, to the gut-associated lymphoid tissue, and to the thymus, all of which are major immune organs. And if the vagus is dysfunctional, inflammation can rage out of control. So again, this comes back to understanding this complexity of inflammation, and how we need to both understand it and know where it is we want to look to get at that inflammation. So there is a profound interconnected limbic-vagal-mast cell piece. Each totally connects to the other. There's an interaction between the thousand biochemical mediators that mast cells make and the nervous system itself. So I call this interconnection the trifecta, which is: you can't just treat the limbic system in a vacuum, because if you're not also looking at the vagal and mast cell system, your treatment may be a little bit helpful, or it might not even work at all, until you combine all three — so that you really understand this is a package deal here, in terms of how we work with it.There was one more piece I wanted to add, Courtney, to understanding the inflammation piece: whether or not someone gets mold toxicity or Lyme or COVID depends on how robust their immune system is. So you could have a family living in a moldy environment — one person is really sick, several are a little bit sick, and one is not sick at all. And the one who's not sick at all can easily go, “I'm not sure what's wrong with you all, but I'm fine in this environment, it can't be my environment because I'm fine.” And what they're not understanding is: yes, they are fine, as long as their immune system stays robust. For the others, they were at risk for all of these conditions because their immune system took a hit. And for many people who were living in a moldy environment, during COVID, for example, when we isolated and people were spending twenty-four hours in their home rather than the eight hours out, they were many now being exposed to more mold at home than they were before. I don't think people began to think about that or look at that. So in that environment, whether or not they were affected depends on the hit they took. Now, the things that will hit an immune system to weaken it, and allow whatever's there to manifest, are: COVID was a biggie, any severe infection, a surgical procedure, childbirth, menopause, or any emotional upheaval will weaken that immune system, and then the immune system loses containment, and now we are off to the races. So what I try to convince people who are living in a moldy environment who are well is that they're living with a ticking time bomb. Should they take an immune hit, they will be just as sick as their family member who they're kind of lording it over, which is, “I'm not sick, what's wrong with you?” You'll be right there yourself if you take that hit — to try to help them understand, yeah, you're okay for now, but once your immune system weakens. So I'm trying to tie together the immune system, its ability to regulate inflammation, and this whole process here.Courtney: Right, right. Which I guess is why we call it complex, complex illness.Neil: It is the way human beings are. We're not making up a new word of complex illness — illness was always complex. We're just beginning to understand how complex it always has been.The Limits of Treating Symptoms Alone44:39Courtney: Right, so there's communities out there addressing mast cell activation. There's communities out there addressing POTS and dysautonomia. Communities out there addressing OCD and more obvious limbic-type issues. And then there's the whole mental health field. And the dots aren't getting connected. I mean, I've yet to see someone with OCD — I think it's like eighty to ninety-five percent have mold toxicity as part of the picture.Neil: You know, an example — and I won't name names — is there's an eminent pediatric physician who is very well known for his work in autism, who thought he was ADD his whole life until he recognized that he had mold toxicity and started taking antifungals, and all of a sudden his brain went online and he doesn't have it anymore. So that's just a very clear example of what you're talking about. And what we are talking about is: it's absolutely essential that all people who work in the medical field, all healthcare providers, embrace this complexity, because if you're only working on a piece of it, you will help some people to a certain extent, but you will not help people optimally. I mean, that is the absolute bottom line.The understanding that mast cell activation was huge came in 2016, when Larry Afrin wrote his book, Never Bet Against Occam. It was a huge game changer. When I read his book, it was like, “My goodness, I've been missing this in my patients.” And the whole world embraced this information, so that every medical center in the country now has a mast cell activation clinic. However, they're looking at it as a single thing with a label to it, and they're treating it just that way. They have not recognized that if they don't add limbic and vagal work to it, their treatment is not going to be adequate. And so, yes, they're helping people, but absolutely not optimally. And to make it worse, very few of those clinics have recognized that what's causing mast cell activation, which absolutely needs to be treated, is mold toxicity and Lyme. So people go to these clinics and get a certain amount of help, but they're not being treated comprehensively, which is a pet peeve of mine — which is, come on, if you're going to have a clinic, understand the whole interactions of whatever name it is you're working with. If you're going to be an ENT specialist, understand everything that impacts that area. If you're going to be a cardiologist, understand everything that impacts it. And we just don't see that. We see people kind of in their little box — “No, no, I've learned this, this is what I do, this is how I work” — and it's just unfortunate that they're not looking at the bigger picture.Courtney: Right, I think add to that PANS and PANDAS, because in psychiatry, people feel like they're deep diving because they're getting to PANS and PANDAS. It's like, okay, you've got to go deeper than that, because even those conferences, they talk about the need for treating relapse, and it's just going to keep reoccurring.Neil: I mean, they're using IVIG to help. That's nice, but they're not getting to cause. And we know when PANS and PANDAS first emerged on the scene, it was all about strep, and that was the focus for a long time. But as time emerged, it was very clear that this was a neurological inflammation triggered — here we go, broken record — Lyme, mold, other infectious agents had to be looked for. And if we treated those, you could cure PANS. It wasn't something that needed IVIG for the rest of your earthly life.Courtney: Even among those, would you say very often mold is underlying the mycoplasma, the candida?Neil: I think mold is one of the most missed components to illness that I can think of. If I have a goal in life, it would be to raise the consciousness of our profession as to the importance of mold toxicity, how common it is. We're talking millions and millions of people who are not diagnosed, because their doctors don't know about it, and therefore are not making the diagnosis. I'd love to see the consciousness get to the point that someone would present with these complicated stories and a doctor would say, “Why don't we think about mold toxicity?” That would be the most important thing I would have done in my career.Courtney: Yeah, well, you're certainly raising awareness.Neil: I'm working — it is slow. As we said, I'm working on a twenty-year generational issue here.Courtney: You've mentioned that the underlying source needs to be addressed, but the nervous system and immune systems need to be addressed. So one of the things that comes up with limbic system retraining is: I've had people hear the message that if they just address their limbic and autonomic nervous system, then they wouldn't need to address what I see as an ongoing threat, such as a mold toxin. So I'm hoping you can speak to that, and the importance of these programs, despite that.Neil: Sure. A couple of the better-known limbic retraining programs, the coaches get a little bit zealous about — “limbic retraining is so important, this is all you need to do alone, don't even do anything else, just do limbic retraining.” And I suspect that there are a handful, very few, but a handful of people who've gotten well just doing limbic retraining. If, for example, if you had mold toxicity, if it was relatively new, if you had not colonized, and you moved out of your mold exposure soon, it is possible that the limbic retraining would help reboot it to the point that your immune system rebooted itself and you'd be fine. I believe there are a few people like that. The vast majority of people who have limbic dysfunction — you need to do limbic retraining and vagal retraining. You may also need to do mast cell retraining, and please look for the cause of that. Those are downstream effects, those are not named diagnoses that you treat alone and it fixes it. Please look for at least mold and Lyme, which are the two most common things that are triggering this at this point. And people are getting the wrong message if they think they need to do it in a vacuum. To make it worse, they're being told, “No, no, just do limbic retraining, that's all you need.” And the truth is, no, you need to combine limbic retraining and vagal rebooting and mast cell activation most of the time. And of course you've got to get back to cause.Courtney: Right, I mean I try to liken it to — if they were in an abusive relationship or toxic relationship, they wouldn't just limbic-system their way out of that, if there was an external threat.Biochemical Contributors47:35Neil: No, you've got to fix what's primary here. I want to add to this discussion — we're focusing on inflammation from toxins and infections, but there are also other biochemical issues, some of them downstream, that need to be looked for and addressed in order for people to recover completely. So, for example, Lyme and mold will trigger kryptopyrrole issues, or imbalances in the ratio between zinc and copper, or they'll trigger methylation issues super commonly. And I just wanted to expand this discussion — I know it's complicated enough, but I don't want to oversimplify it either — that there are other biochemical things that we want to be looking for, because they're treatable, and they will help people to heal faster, if we're also addressing methylation, the need for zinc, the need for magnesium or B6 — those are common components of this whole process here. And so I just want to kind of tie that all together for a moment.Courtney: No, I'm glad you did, because those are topics that I talk about here, so it's important to connect those. The other thing I see, because I integrate the Walsh approaches with treating people that have complex health issues, is zinc seems so amazing when it comes to mast cell activation — making sure that's optimized. As well as connective tissue — and that was something else I wanted to ask you about — is structural issues that can be impacting the autonomic nervous system. I just see a lot of people — I inquire about it because I had it myself — but who have upper cervical instability as part of this whole picture.Structural Contributors49:26Neil: Again, all of these things are interrelated, and the physical structure can prevent people from moving forward in several different ways. One is the structure of the jaw and the face — the body puts a priority on teeth occluding properly. And if the teeth don't meet just quite right, and the jaw is a little bit out of structure, people often talk about TMJ — the body basically freaks out, it goes into sympathetic overdrive. And for some patients — it's not common, but I've seen several dozen — where the jaw had to be realigned by a combination of dentists specially trained in this work, working with osteopathic physicians, to realign the jaw. Often in those patients, they couldn't respond to the limbic and vagal treatment until their jaw got realigned.Same thing is true with what you're talking about, as cervical cranial instability, which is basically a weakening of the ligaments at the base of the skull, where it attaches to the first cervical vertebra. Now, these are all again intertwined — for example, it begs the question of what weakens those ligaments. And the answer is: if you have mast cell activation, some of the materials that the mast cell makes weakens the ligaments. So the ligaments get weak, and where the skull attaches to the first cervical vertebra, instead of being pulled apart, like ligaments do, it collapses. And that influences the blood flow to the brain, the nerve flow to the brain. And again, the body recognizes that as a priority, and often you can't get that better — you can't get limbic and vagal response until that gets fixed.So there are a bunch of structural issues that also need to be looked at, when people become overly sensitive and are not responding properly. And there's more in that area. So, for example, there's a chapter by Tasha Turzo, who's an expert on the jaw structure. There's a chapter in there by Andy Maxwell on cervical cranial instability. So that book would give people a really good overview of how complicated things are, and they might, chapter by chapter, get a clue of, “I haven't looked at this piece yet.” I mean, we haven't talked about oxalate or salicylate imbalances, which can add to that. So I just think that is a resource for folks that could really help them understand how they've gotten where they are, and understand the path out.Courtney: Right, right, because not everyone has all of these areas, but certainly could be held back or have a unique something that they could be getting relief from early on in the process. So I think it's both, to the degree that people are able to learn, and your book Toxic, too — it's like an encyclopedia, even if someone doesn't read straight through it, they can go to the mast cell section, or they can go to the Bartonella section.Neil: It was intended to be a readable way to understand this complexity, because it basically will talk about almost everything we've talked about today, and help people to get better understanding. I mean, we've talked about the bigger picture today. We didn't talk about, okay, how do you diagnose Lyme, how do you diagnose mold toxicity, how do you diagnose long-haul COVID, and most important, because this is very complicated, how do you decide which of those is the biggest player that you want to address first?Distinguishing Between Mold, Lyme & Long-COVID53:58Courtney: Right, I have shared resources on diagnosing mold toxicity. Would you comment on your last point — how do you recognize, are you using specific testing that you want to reference, the RealTime?Neil: I do. But I would emphasize, we're taught in medical school that if you really listen to patients, ninety-five percent of the time you will make the diagnosis by history alone. And I don't want to get too focused on testing, because listening to the patient and having them describe in detail what they're going through will really give you the little pieces you need to tease it apart to a certain degree. That's only possible to a certain degree, because there's a huge overlap between the symptoms of Lyme and Bartonella and mold and long-haul COVID and mast cell activation. Huge overlap. So there's little teeny pieces that will tend to lean more in one way than another. And honestly, that's what's required from all of us, literally years of study, to really get a handle on — someone will say something, okay, that's much more of a mold symptom than it is a Lyme symptom, something else. So I do encourage people, if they think they might have mold, to get a urine mycotoxin test. That has revolutionized our ability to make these diagnoses.Courtney: Would you still set RealTime as the preferred? That's what I've communicated to this audience.Neil: I would. Any test can help make the diagnosis, but for follow-up testing, the only one that's been really consistent is RealTime. And you want a follow-up test, so you want to know what your baseline starting is, and then you want to know, okay, am I getting these toxins out of my body? From my perspective, you know that you're done treating it when that RealTime comes back reading not present in every category. We have better tests now for Lyme than we've had in the past. Years ago, our tests were inadequate to say the least. And the CDC recognized years ago that the tests were so inadequate that it was basically a diagnosis made by a physician by examining all of the history and information that you had. That was enough — you didn't need a lab report to make the diagnosis of Lyme disease. A new test that I'm particularly fond of is Bruce Patterson's fourteen-panel cytokine test. This is a test that measures cytokines, which are the molecules of inflammation — cytokines are made by your immune system to deal with, or fight, different inflammational causes. And so what Dr. Patterson has discovered is there's a pattern of cytokines that we see with long-haul COVID, which is different than the pattern we see for Lyme. And I'm working with him now on the pattern for mold. So we can literally look at that test and look at, okay, what is inflaming this person primarily now, because I'm looking at that inflammational pattern, and I can literally read that. Some of my patients will have all of those on a particular test, or only one, but it really helps tease apart what is — I call it public enemy number one for my patient, what do I need to address as root cause right now. So our science is improving as we go here.A Message of Hope — and Where to Learn More58:49Courtney: And that's huge. Before we go — I think all of your books, but I'm thinking specifically about Toxic and The Sensitive Patient — all the information you generously share gives people a lot of hope who've been struggling out there. And I think your mentoring and teaching so many of us helps extend some of that reach. Is there anything you'd want to convey to people out there in the throes of chronic illness who are feeling hopeless and not getting the feedback from their doctors that this is something they can get beyond?Neil: Sure. My take-home message is always: everything we talked about today is treatable. Is there hope in there? You bet there is. But if you are not getting the help you need from whoever you are seeing, find someone who understands these things. For example, I do have on my website a list of physicians that I've trained over the years that I'm comfortable that they really know what they're doing — it's a growing list. There's someone like Courtney, who's been trained for years to do this, she's good at it. Find someone who knows what they're talking about, so that you can get someone who does embrace this complexity, and will look at it in its entirety, and then get you moving in the right direction, doing the right things in the right order. To me, this can be done. I mean, I have personally helped to cure four or five thousand people with mold toxicity, and an equal number of people with Lyme disease. So we can help the vast majority of people that we're seeing. So, regardless of how long you've been sick, if you haven't been properly diagnosed and you haven't gotten the right treatment, you can be helped.Courtney: Right, right, that's great. And for physicians out there who are interested in learning more about complex chronic illness — are there resources you would point to? I'll be sharing your books, because I think those are great references — but also how people can find what you're doing currently.Neil: Sure, my books — particularly with this discussion, Toxic and The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide would be the two most appropriate. I would add that I have just finished writing a book on this whole subject of inflammation. It's currently being edited, I hope it'll be out by early next year. So if you stay tuned to my website, I'll let people know when that's going to be available. And I think, Courtney, what you're referring to is: I do have a mentorship program for healthcare providers. We now have three hundred and fifty-plus people in the mentorship program, it keeps growing. You were in one of the first groups — we started with eight, and then people kept wanting to get in on it. So we welcome people to join. If you go to my website, which is simply neilnathanmd.com, there's a whole thing which talks about the mentorship and how to sign up for it. So I certainly welcome people who want to learn more.Courtney: And then you offer consultations and professional consultations also?Neil: I do. My consultations — I am, at this point, since I'm semi-retired, not seeing people directly. But I do offer consultations with a patient and their primary treating physician — so we all get on a Zoom together, and we will go over the details of that person's history and their lab work, and I will help outline a treatment program that looks to me like it will get people well. And actually, Courtney, I actually do a lot of that — I'm not really retired, my wife will tell you. I stay pretty busy. I love helping people. I love being able to take this complicated information and tease it apart, so that I can help people to understand what they need to do, in what order, in order to get better.Courtney: And we're all grateful — grateful that you've followed your path, because so many people have benefited personally and professionally. So thank you for bringing your wisdom and expertise, really appreciate it.Neil: You're very welcome, happy to do that.You can find Dr. Nathan's information, consultations, and mentoring program through his website at neilnathanmd.com.

President Trump heeft boos gereageerd op de uitlatingen van enkele belangrijke CEO’s uit Silicon Valley. De bazen van onder meer OpenAI en Anthropic vinden dat het tijd is voor een rem op de ontwikkeling van AI. Die gaat namelijk te snel, vindt ook Elon Musk. Maar Trump wil daar niets van weten. Volgens Trump moet er juist versneld worden. Overal moeten datacenters gebouwd worden om in de energiebehoefte voor AI te voorzien. Het is namelijk een strijd met China. En wie die wint, wint helemaal, zegt Trump. Maar onder kiezers neemt de weerstand tegen die datacenters toe. De CEO’s waren niet de enigen die Trumps boosheid te verduren kregen. Hij haalde uit naar het Hooggerechtshof nadat een nieuwe wet over poststemmen opnieuw is tegengehouden. ‘Zijn dit de mensen die ik heb benoemd’, riep Trump uit. En dan was er nog het Kennedy Center waar opnieuw niet Trumps naam op mag, en dus heeft het centrum zijn deuren maar helemaal gesloten. Over de Amerika Podcast In de Amerika Podcast nemen Bernard Hammelburg en Jan Postma je mee naar het Amerika van nu: een land dat onder Donald Trump opnieuw in rap tempo verandert.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of dynamic and significant advancements across the industry, from strategic acquisitions to regulatory shifts and scientific innovations. In a bold move, Novartis has acquired Sironax's blood-brain barrier delivery platform for $125 million. This acquisition marks a strategic enhancement in Novartis's ability to deliver therapies directly to the brain, overcoming one of the most formidable challenges in treating neurological disorders. The potential to deliver antibodies and other therapeutic agents effectively across this barrier could lead to groundbreaking treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. This reflects a broader industry trend emphasizing improved drug delivery systems to boost treatment efficacy and patient outcomes. On the clinical advancement front, Sling Therapeutics has raised $123 million in a Series C funding round aimed at propelling its oral therapy for thyroid eye disease forward. Unlike traditional intravenous treatments, this oral therapy offers a more convenient option for patients, potentially improving adherence and quality of life. Meanwhile, Circle Pharma's $92.5 million Series E funding will support the development of its cyclin D1 inhibitor for breast cancer, showcasing innovation in oncology through the use of macrocycles that could provide more effective treatments with fewer side effects. Investments in AI and machine learning are also reshaping the landscape. Ginkgo Bioworks' collaboration with Novo Nordisk to construct an autonomous lab highlights the increasing role of automation in optimizing R&D productivity. Mithrl's $20 million Series A round further underscores this shift, focusing on developing an AI infrastructure platform for streamlined biopharma drug discovery processes. The regulatory environment continues to evolve with notable challenges. BioMarin has discontinued Phase 2 development of Voxzogo in Noonan syndrome due to shifting treatment landscapes, illustrating the dynamic nature of therapeutic development. Similarly, Novartis's halt on its TREM2 stabilizer after a Phase 2 failure in ALS research points to the complexities inherent in neurodegenerative disease studies. Maat Pharma faced a setback when its appeal was rejected regarding the EMA's negative opinion on its graft-versus-host disease candidate, Xervyteg. This instance highlights the stringent regulatory hurdles companies must navigate to bring novel therapies to market. Amid these developments, Gilead Sciences is strategically expanding into oncology and inflammation. Through several acquisitions, Gilead has diversified its portfolio significantly, emphasizing oncology as a central focus area given its high potential for addressing unmet needs and offering substantial returns on investment. Legend Biotech's appointment of Ingrid Zhang as CEO signals a strategic push into the competitive CAR-T cell therapy market. These therapies represent a revolutionary approach in personalized medicine for cancer treatment, with Legend positioning itself for growth and innovation. Bristol Myers Squibb and Ono Pharmaceutical are preparing to contest Amgen's efforts to launch a biosimilar for their oncology blockbuster Opdivo. This reflects broader competitive dynamics within the biologics market where biosimilars promise more cost-effective options, potentially reshaping market shares and pricing strategies. Manufacturing innovations are also at play with Ori Biotech securing a $120 million deal for an automated production platform in cell therapy manufacturing. Such advancements are crucial as cell therapies become more mainstream, necessitating scalable solutions that maintain quality while meeting demand. Operational expansions continue as Reckitt Benckiser allocates $600 million to upgrade its US operations, fostering innovation across health and hygiene product lines—an industry trend towards integrating R&D with manufacturing prowess to drive new product development. While challenges persist—illustrated by Novartis's multiple trial failures—the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors remain resilient with adaptive strategies focused on innovation. The ongoing advancements underscore not only scientific exploration but also strategic maneuvering amidst evolving regulatory landscapes.

Im Podcast "Blick in die Bibel" erklärt Pater Maximilian Krenn heute, dass Menschen mit Lebensfragen ins Kloster kommen: "Wer bin ich? Wie lebe ich meinen Glauben?" Seine Methode der Bibelbetrachtung: "Erst den Text auf sich wirken lassen – dann erst die eigenen Gedanken einbringen."Im Evangelium salbt eine "Sünderin" Jesus die Füße. Pater Maximilian betont: "Es geht nicht darum, mehr zu sündigen, um mehr zu lieben – sondern um die Sünde bewusst zu bereuen." Jesus sagt: "Wem viel vergeben wird, der liebt viel." Die Botschaft von Pater Maximilian: "Wir sind alle Sünder – und doch bedarf jeder Gottes Barmherzigkeit."Warum Vergebung uns demütig macht, erfahrt ihr im Podcast!Aus dem Evangelium nach Lukas:In jener Zeit hatte einer der Pharisäer Jesus zum Essen eingeladen. Und er ging in das Haus des Pharisäers und begab sich zu Tisch. Und siehe, eine Frau, die in der Stadt lebte, eine Sünderin, erfuhr, dass er im Haus des Pharisäers zu Tisch war; da kam sie mit einem Alabastergefäß voll wohlriechendem Öl und trat von hinten an ihn heran zu seinen Füßen. Dabei weinte sie und begann mit ihren Tränen seine Füße zu benetzen. Sie trocknete seine Füße mit den Haaren ihres Hauptes, küsste sie und salbte sie mit dem Öl.Als der Pharisäer, der ihn eingeladen hatte, das sah, sagte er zu sich selbst: Wenn dieser wirklich ein Prophet wäre, müsste er wissen, was das für eine Frau ist, die ihn berührt: dass sie eine Sünderin ist. Da antwortete ihm Jesus und sagte: Simon, ich möchte dir etwas sagen. Er erwiderte: Sprich, Meister! Jesus sagte: Ein Geldverleiher hatte zwei Schuldner; der eine war ihm fünfhundert Denáre schuldig, der andere fünfzig. Als sie ihre Schulden nicht bezahlen konnten, schenkte er sie beiden. Wer von ihnen wird ihn nun mehr lieben? Simon antwortete: Ich nehme an, der, dem er mehr geschenkt hat. Jesus sagte zu ihm: Du hast recht geurteilt.Dann wandte er sich der Frau zu und sagte zu Simon: Siehst du diese Frau? Als ich in dein Haus kam, hast du mir kein Wasser für die Füße gegeben; sie aber hat meine Füße mit ihren Tränen benetzt und sie mit ihren Haaren abgetrocknet. Du hast mir keinen Kuss gegeben; sie aber hat, seit ich hier bin, unaufhörlich meine Füße geküsst. Du hast mir nicht das Haupt mit Öl gesalbt; sie aber hat mit Balsam meine Füße gesalbt. Deshalb sage ich dir: Ihr sind ihre vielen Sünden vergeben, weil sie viel geliebt hat. Wem aber nur wenig vergeben wird, der liebt wenig.Dann sagte er zu ihr: Deine Sünden sind dir vergeben. Da begannen die anderen Gäste bei sich selbst zu sagen: Wer ist das, dass er sogar Sünden vergibt? Er aber sagte zu der Frau: Dein Glaube hat dich gerettet. Geh in Frieden! (Lk 7,36-50)(© Ständige Kommission für die Herausgabe der gemeinsamen liturgischen Bücher im deutschen Sprachgebiet)

Es ist kurz vor Mitternacht, als die 16-jährige Selma auf ihrem Heimweg durch Kulmbach niedergestochen wird. Ihr Tod versetzt den Ort in Angst und die Polizei unter enormen Druck: Wer hat das Mädchen getötet? Schnell gerät ein Mann in den Fokus der Ermittlungen, der sich mit seinen Aussagen zur Mordnacht in Widersprüche verstrickt. Als weitere Indizien den Verdacht gegen ihn erhärten, scheint der Fall eindeutig. Doch reicht das, was die Polizei gegen ihn vorbringen kann, tatsächlich, um ihn schuldig zu sprechen? In dieser Folge von „Mordlust – Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe“ geht es um die Suche nach einem Mörder und darum, dass die Öffentlichkeit ihr Urteil manchmal fällt, noch bevor ein Gericht über die Schuld entschieden hat.

What if some of the healing approaches you've been told are “unproven” are actually backed by far more science than you realize?Alternative medicine and holistic healing are often treated as either miracle cures or pseudoscience. But what happens when we actually look at the research?In this episode, we explore remarkable recovery stories alongside studies showing measurable changes in heart disease, cancer outcomes, cognition, inflammation, immune function, and chronic disease from approaches that are often dismissed. You'll learn why not proven and disproven are very different things, why some holistic therapies receive far less research funding than drugs, and why conventional and alternative medicine don't necessarily have to compete. Most importantly, you'll learn a practical three-part framework for deciding what deserves a place in your healing plan—based on the evidence, the risks, the potential benefits, and what actually happens in your own body.

JEMS Development Editor Mike Brown speaks with Aaron Weedman, PhD, technical lead for machine learning in emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Lenny Weiss, EMS physician and medical director for air and ground services. They discuss how natural language processing can analyze prehospital free-text data, such as chief complaints and 911 call notes, to predict the need for critical interventions like airway management, hemorrhage control, blood transfusions, and CPR. The technology may also help determine whether patients need ALS or BLS resources. Using data (about 10 million chief complaints) and 20,000 to 25,000 911 calls, the researchers found the models performed well and closely matched existing dispatch protocols. The goal is to improve dispatch accuracy, mobilize resources faster, and reduce cognitive workload for busy EMS crews.

Mooie mensen verdienen meer. En dat onderscheid wordt al op school gemaakt. Wie denkt dat uiterlijk vooral belangrijk is op sociale media of in de datingwereld, vergist zich. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek laat zien dat aantrekkelijkheid invloed heeft op vrijwel elke fase van een loopbaan. Van de verwachtingen van leraren op school tot promoties, salarissen en kansen op de arbeidsmarkt. In de nieuwste aflevering van de Ben Tiggelaar Podcast bespreken Ben Tiggelaar en Willemijn Veenhoven het fenomeen lookism: discriminatie op basis van uiterlijk. Het blijkt een van de meest hardnekkige en tegelijkertijd minst besproken vormen van vooroordelen op de werkvloer. "Je krijgt heel veel cadeau als je er een beetje goed uitziet," stelt Ben Tiggelaar Het halo-effect: knap betekent automatisch competent De verklaring ligt deels in een psychologisch mechanisme dat al ruim een eeuw geleden werd ontdekt. De Amerikaanse psycholoog Edward Thorndike beschreef hoe mensen positieve eigenschappen automatisch aan elkaar koppelen. Wie aantrekkelijk wordt gevonden, wordt vaak ook als slimmer, socialer of competenter gezien, zonder dat daar bewijs voor is. Dit zogenoemde halo-effect werkt verrassend krachtig. Managers, recruiters en collega's blijken onbewust geneigd om aantrekkelijke mensen positiever te beoordelen op allerlei andere eigenschappen. "Als mensen op één kenmerk goed scoren, trekt dat de beoordeling op andere punten mee," legt Tiggelaar uit. Dat betekent dat een verzorgd en aantrekkelijk uiterlijk niet alleen invloed heeft op hoe iemand eruitziet, maar ook op hoe zijn of haar capaciteiten worden ingeschat. De voorsprong begint al in de klas De gevolgen van dat effect worden al vroeg zichtbaar. Onderzoek van organisatiepsycholoog Timothy Church laat zien dat leraren vaak hogere verwachtingen hebben van leerlingen die als aantrekkelijk worden beschouwd. Zelfs wanneer leerlingen dezelfde cijfers halen als hun klasgenoten, worden zij vaker als slimmer of bekwamer gezien. Die positieve verwachtingen hebben gevolgen. Leerlingen krijgen meer aandacht, ontwikkelen meer zelfvertrouwen en ervaren vaker succes. Daardoor ontstaat een zichzelf versterkend effect dat uiteindelijk kan leiden tot betere opleidingskansen, betere banen en hogere inkomens. "Die bevestiging van anderen zorgt ervoor dat je positiever naar jezelf gaat kijken”, zegt Ben Tiggelaar Het beauty premium op de arbeidsmarkt Wetenschappers spreken tegenwoordig over het beauty premium: het voordeel dat aantrekkelijke mensen genieten op de arbeidsmarkt. Uit internationale overzichtsstudies blijkt dat aantrekkelijke werknemers gemiddeld meer verdienen dan hun minder aantrekkelijke collega's. Bij mannen zijn de verschillen zelfs opvallend groot. Minder aantrekkelijke mannen verdienen gemiddeld ongeveer 9 procent minder dan de gemiddelde werknemer, terwijl zeer aantrekkelijke mannen ongeveer 5 procent meer verdienen. Ook vrouwen profiteren van aantrekkelijkheid, al zijn de verschillen volgens sommige studies iets kleiner. Voor werkgevers en recruiters is dat ongemakkelijk nieuws. Niet omdat uiterlijk bewust wordt meegewogen, maar juist omdat het meestal onbewust gebeurt. Verzorging blijkt belangrijker dan schoonheid Tegelijkertijd laat onderzoek zien dat aantrekkelijkheid niet alleen draait om aangeboren schoonheid. Verzorging speelt een grote rol in de manier waarop mensen worden beoordeeld. Kleding, haarstijl, houding en algemene presentatie hebben een directe invloed op hoe professioneel iemand wordt gezien. Dat betekent dat mensen wel degelijk invloed hebben op hun eigen uitstraling."Je professionele presentatie is maakbaar," zegt Tiggelaar. "En daar kijken mensen nu eenmaal naar." Juist dat onderscheid is belangrijk. Het onderzoek laat zien dat werkgevers vaak sterker reageren op signalen van verzorging en professionaliteit dan op fysieke schoonheid alleen. Meer zelfvertrouwen door een simpele mentale oefening Interessant genoeg blijkt ook de eigen perceptie van aantrekkelijkheid invloed te hebben. Onderzoekers ontdekten dat mensen zich zelfverzekerder gedragen wanneer zij terugdenken aan momenten waarop zij zich aantrekkelijk voelden. Door zo'n herinnering bewust op te roepen, stijgt het gevoel van zelfvertrouwen tijdelijk. Dat kan bijvoorbeeld helpen bij spannende presentaties, sollicitatiegesprekken of salarisonderhandelingen. Het effect laat zien dat niet alleen het oordeel van anderen telt, maar ook de manier waarop mensen zichzelf zien. Waarom organisaties alert moeten zijn Voor bedrijven vormt lookism een serieus risico. Wanneer recruiters of managers te veel vertrouwen op hun eerste indrukken, kunnen talentvolle kandidaten onterecht worden afgewezen. Vooral bij selecties waarbij subjectieve begrippen als "klik", "uitstraling" of "past goed binnen het team" een rol spelen, sluipen uiterlijk-gerelateerde vooroordelen gemakkelijk binnen. Daarom pleiten onderzoekers voor meer gestructureerde selectieprocedures, duidelijkere beoordelingscriteria en waar mogelijk anoniem solliciteren. Opvallend genoeg biedt ook kunstmatige intelligentie nog geen oplossing. Recente studies laten zien dat AI-systemen dezelfde vooroordelen kunnen overnemen als de mensen die de trainingsdata leveren. Wetenschappers spreken inmiddels zelfs over algorithmic lookism. Drie lessen van Ben Tiggelaar Wantrouw je eerste indruk. Uiterlijk is vaak een onbetrouwbare snelkoppeling in ons oordeel. Neem je professionele presentatie serieus. Verzorging beïnvloedt hoe anderen je waarnemen. Richt processen slimmer in. Zorg dat beslissingen niet onnodig worden gestuurd door uiterlijk of uitstraling. Want hoe ongemakkelijk het ook is: uiterlijk speelt nog altijd een grotere rol in werk en carrière dan de meeste mensen willen toegeven.

LES 257Laat ik me herinneren wat mijn doel is.Wat is zonde?Zonde is waanzin. Het is het middel waarmee de denkgeest tot waanzin wordt gedreven en probeert illusies de plaats te laten innemen van de waarheid. En in zijn waanzin ziet hij illusies waar de waarheid hoort te zijn, en waar die in werkelijkheid ook is. Zonde heeft het lichaam ogen gegeven, want wat is er dat de zondelozen zouden willen zien? Welke behoefte hebben zij aan beelden of geluiden of aanrakingen? Wat zouden ze willen horen of waar zouden ze naar willen grijpen? Wat zouden ze überhaupt zintuiglijk willen waarnemen? Zintuiglijk waarnemen is niet kennen. En de waarheid kan alleen met kennis zijn gevuld, en met niets anders.Het lichaam is het instrument dat de denkgeest gemaakt heeft in zijn pogingen zichzelf te misleiden. Zijn doel is te streven. Maar het doel waarnaar het streeft kan veranderen. En nu dient het lichaam een ander streefdoel. Waar het nu op uit is wordt bepaald door het doel dat de denkgeest zich heeft gesteld ter vervanging van zijn doel van zelfmisleiding. Waarheid kan evengoed als leugens zijn doel zijn. In dat geval zullen de zintuigen zoeken naar getuigen van wat waar is.Zonde is de bakermat van alle illusies, die slechts staan voor denkbeeldige zaken voortkomend uit gedachten die onwaar zijn. Ze zijn het ‘bewijs' dat wat geen werkelijkheid heeft, toch werkelijk is. Zonde ‘bewijst' dat Gods Zoon slecht is, dat aan tijdloosheid een eind moet komen, en dat eeuwig leven sterven moet. En God Zelf heeft de Zoon verloren die Hij liefheeft, waarbij Hem niets rest dan verval om Hem compleet te maken, Zijn Wil voor eeuwig door de dood overwonnen is, liefde is vermoord door haat, en vrede niet langer bestaat.De dromen van een gek zijn angstaanjagend, en zonde lijkt inderdaad angst aan te jagen. En toch is wat de zonde ziet slechts een kinderspel. De Zoon van God kan spelen dat hij een lichaam werd, ten prooi aan het kwaad en aan schuld, met maar een kortstondig leven dat eindigt in de dood. Maar al die tijd straalt zijn Vaders licht over hem en heeft Hij hem met een eeuwigdurende Liefde lief, waaraan zijn pretenties in het geheel niets kunnen afdoen.Hoelang, o Zoon van God, wil je nog doorgaan met het spel van de zonde? Zullen we dit scherpgekante kinderspeelgoed niet eens afdanken? Hoe snel ben je bereid naar huis te komen? Vandaag misschien? Er is geen zonde. De schepping is onveranderd. Wil jij je terugkeer naar de Hemel nog steeds tegenhouden? Hoelang nog, o heilige Zoon van God, hoelang?LES 257Laat ik me herinneren wat mijn doel is.Als ik mijn doel vergeet kan ik slechts in verwarring zijn, onzeker over wat ik ben en dus tegenstrijdig in mijn handelen. Niemand kan strijdige doelen dienen en dat met goed gevolg doen. Evenmin kan hij functioneren zonder diepe smart en hevige depressie. Laten we daarom vastbesloten zijn ons te herinneren wat we vandaag willen, opdat we onze gedachten en daden op een zinvolle manier tot een eenheid kunnen maken, en alleen dat bereiken wat God ons deze dag wil laten doen.Vader, vergeving is Uw uitverkoren middel voor onze verlossing. Laten we vandaag niet vergeten dat we geen andere wil kunnen hebben dan die van U. En dus moet ons doel tevens het Uwe zijn, willen we de vrede bereiken die U voor ons wilt.Alle tekst- werk en handboek klassen van Een Cursus in Wonderen met Elbert nu te beluisteren en te bekijken op https://decursusmetelbert.nl

Aflevering 83 - Wil je dit als Word-document? Jelle heeft eindelijk scherpe rangonderscheidingstekens voor zijn app. Kostte alleen zijn halve AI-budget maar bespaarde €2500. Marco belt vanuit de auto met zijn eigen AI-agent en Ronald zet vijf antennes op zijn autodak om een verborgen zender te vinden. De nieuwtjes: een Apple Death Ray die je Mac laat vastlopen, beveiligingssoftware die zelf aanvalsmogelijkheden toevoegt en een recordronde Microsoft-patches. Ronald bespreekt de Amerikaanse waarschuwing dat Chinese AI-bedrijven antwoorden van westerse modellen gebruiken om hun eigen modellen te trainen. Ook terug naar de concept-inlichtingenwet. Ronald scherpt onze uitleg over bindend toezicht tijdens hackoperaties aan. Jelle leest de reacties van criticasters, TIB en CTIVD. Als het opponentenregime te ruim is, hoe geef je de diensten dan wel ruimte? De tegenstander is na drie maanden doorgaans nog steeds dezelfde. Marco duikt in de handel in malware-installaties. Je zoekt een Bluetooth-driver of WinDirStat en haalt ondertussen iets heel anders binnen. Unit 42 volgde een pay-per-install-netwerk dat toegang verkoopt aan andere criminelen. Met eigen YouTube-kanalen, bruikbare gametips en downloads waar je beter vanaf kunt blijven. Een beveiligingsscanner krijgt keurig iets anders te zien. Dan mag Jelle eindelijk over BGP praten. Een aanvaller kaapte de internetroute naar de updateservers van Virtualizor, software waarmee hostingbedrijven virtuele servers beheren. Via die omweg werd malware als update aangeboden, met een geldig HTTPS-certificaat. Een beveiligde verbinding zegt dus nog niet dat je het juiste pakket binnenhaalt. Wie erachter zat, is niet bekend; de leverancier meldt een handvol getroffen installaties. Ronald sluit af met Anthropic: een AI-model kreeg te horen dat het in een afgesloten oefenomgeving zat, maar kon door een configuratiefout toch het internet op. Het publiceerde een kwaadaardig Python-pakket op PyPI en kwam via buitgemaakte inloggegevens bij een echte database van een beveiligingsbedrijf. Het model bleef ondertussen redeneren dat dit allemaal bij de oefening hoorde. En ergens vraagt Ronald of we dit als Word-document willen hebben.

Nog snel even dat ene mailtje beantwoorden. Een to-do-lijstje maken. De bestanden op je computer ordenen. En voor je het weet is de dag voorbij zonder dat je aan het belangrijkste werk bent toegekomen. Herkenbaar? Je bent niet de enige. Volgens Ben Tiggelaar is prioriteiten stellen voor veel professionals een van de lastigste onderdelen van hun werk. Wie kent het niet? Je zit midden in een belangrijke taak als er een collega langskomt met een verzoek. Daarna volgt een Teams-bericht, een binnenkomende mail en een melding uit je agenda. Alles lijkt urgent. "Als mensen onder druk staan, kunnen ze vaak geen onderscheid meer maken tussen wat belangrijk is en wat urgent is," zegt Ben Tiggelaar in zijn podcast. "Alles voelt opeens even belangrijk." Dat heeft grote gevolgen voor de keuzes die we maken. Waarom we onder stress de verkeerde dingen doen Psychologen spreken van het mere urgency effect. Zodra de druk oploopt, richten mensen zich opvallend vaak op de taak die het snelst af te ronden is, niet op de taak die de meeste waarde oplevert. Dat zie je niet alleen op kantoor. Onderzoek laat zien dat zelfs artsen en verpleegkundigen op drukke momenten soms geneigd zijn eerst een relatief eenvoudige klus op te pakken om weer grip op de situatie te krijgen. Voor kenniswerkers betekent dat vaak: e-mails beantwoorden. "Je drukt op verzenden en hebt direct het gevoel dat je iets hebt afgemaakt", zegt Tiggelaar. "Dat geeft een beetje controle." Maar ondertussen blijven de écht belangrijke taken liggen. Het probleem zit vaak hoger in de organisatie Wie denkt dat slechte prioriteiten vooral een persoonlijk probleem zijn, heeft het volgens Tiggelaar mis. Veel organisaties zijn zelf onduidelijk over wat echt belangrijk is. Onderzoek van onder meer de London Business School laat zien dat medewerkers bedrijfsstrategieën vaak te vaag vinden om er dagelijks richting aan te ontlenen. Zinnen als "door voortdurende innovatie stellen wij de klant centraal" klinken mooi, maar bieden weinig houvast voor de keuzes van vandaag. Nog problematischer wordt het wanneer organisaties tientallen prioriteiten tegelijk hanteren. "We hebben vaak niet te weinig prioriteiten, maar juist te veel", zegt Tiggelaar. "En soms spreken ze elkaar zelfs tegen." Amazon: alles op nummer één werkt niet Een bekend voorbeeld is Amazon. Het bedrijf presenteert zichzelf tegelijkertijd als het meest klantgerichte bedrijf ter wereld, de beste werkgever én de veiligste werkplek. Op papier kan dat allemaal prioriteit hebben. In de praktijk blijkt dat lastiger. Tijdens piekperiodes, zoals rondom Thanksgiving of de feestdagen, ontstaat er druk op de organisatie. Dan blijkt welke prioriteit daadwerkelijk wint. "Uiteindelijk zie je dat andere doelen sneuvelen als het echt druk wordt", aldus Tiggelaar. De les: als alles prioriteit heeft, heeft uiteindelijk niets prioriteit. Wat bedrijven kunnen leren van de spoedeisende hulp Waar gaat het dan wél goed? Tiggelaar wijst op de spoedeisende hulp in ziekenhuizen. Daar komen voortdurend urgente situaties binnen, maar toch ontstaat er meestal geen chaos. Het geheim is triage: een vast systeem waarmee zorgverleners bepalen wat onmiddellijk aandacht nodig heeft en wat kan wachten. Volgens Tiggelaar kunnen organisaties daar veel van leren. Een effectieve prioriteitenlijst ontstaat volgens hem in vier stappen: Maak een overzicht van alle doelen. Breng conflicten tussen die doelen in kaart. Bepaal wat voorrang krijgt wanneer doelen botsen. Zet de prioriteiten expliciet op volgorde. Pas dan ontstaat er echte duidelijkheid. Disney traint medewerkers hier twee dagen op Een van Tiggelaars favoriete voorbeelden komt uit de Disney-parken. Medewerkers die met bezoekers werken krijgen daar een duidelijke prioriteitenvolgorde mee: Boven alles veiligheid, daarna hoffelijkheid, dan inclusie, gevolgd door de show en als laatste efficiëntie. Die volgorde wordt uitgebreid geoefend aan de hand van praktijkvoorbeelden. Stel: Donald Duck staat handtekeningen uit te delen en ziet een kleuter gevaarlijk op een prullenbak klimmen. Dan is de keuze eenvoudig. Veiligheid gaat vóór de show. Juist doordat medewerkers die afweging vooraf al hebben gemaakt, hoeven ze op het moment zelf niet meer te twijfelen. De kracht van een stopdoing-lijst Tiggelaar verwijst ook naar naar een beroemde tip van belegger Warren Buffett. Maak een lijst van alles wat je belangrijk vindt. Kies vervolgens de vijf belangrijkste zaken. En dan komt het verrassende deel; de rest verdwijnt niet op een lijst voor later. Integendeel. Die andere belangrijke dingen komen juist op een zogenaamde avoid-at-all-costs-list. "Je raakt niet afgeleid door onbelangrijke dingen", zegt Tiggelaar. "Je raakt afgeleid door dingen die óók belangrijk zijn." Wie werkelijk focus wil aanbrengen, moet dus niet alleen bepalen waar hij tijd aan besteedt, maar vooral ook waaraan niet. Maak dus een stop-doing list. Drie praktische tips van Ben Tiggelaar Maak samen met collega's een korte prioriteiten- of triagelijst. Vertaal die prioriteiten naar concrete keuzes in agenda's en dagelijkse werkzaamheden. Maak een stopdoing-lijst met activiteiten die bewust géén aandacht krijgen. Of zoals Willemijn Veenhoven het samenvat: "Die stopdoing-lijst kan mij niet lang genoeg zijn."Over de makersBen Tiggelaar geldt al jaren als een van de bekendste experts op het gebied van leiderschap, gedragsverandering en organisatieontwikkeling.

This week's Dynamite brought us all the extremes of human emotion. We're so sad both at the loss of the Butcher and for Rebel and her ALS diagnosis, as well as very moved by everyone coming together to support her and ALS research. And then the rest of Dynamite was incredibly fun AND incredibly horny at a level that frankly didn't feel appropriate under the circumstances? Wrestling, you are quite a medium.

Episode 429 of Tom Clark's Main Event is a look at AEW Rebel Heart, with Tom and Majestic Marie breaking down the special episode of Dynamite dedicated to Rebel and her fight against ALS. The big wrestling story was the AEW debut of Steven Borden, as Sting's son teamed with Darby Allin to take on Josh Alexander and Mark Davis. Tom and Marie discuss Borden stepping into the ring for the first time on AEW television, the connection between him and Allin, and what his future could look like now that he's beginning to make his own name in wrestling. The show also featured Britt Baker's return to in-ring competition, as she teamed with Hikaru Shida and Persephone, with Rebel playing a key role in Baker's victory. Tom and Marie also discuss Will Ospreay defeating David Finlay ahead of his AEW World Championship match with Jon Moxley, Swerve Strickland and The New Level retaining the World Trios Championship, and Andrade El Ídolo defending the National Championship.

We spend years of our lives asleep and dreaming — so what if those dreams aren't random noise, but your mind's own way of healing? In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Yishan welcomes documentary filmmaker Larkin McPhee, author of the memoir "I'll See You In My Dreams." Larkin's younger brother was Charles McPhee, the nationally syndicated radio host known as "The Dream Doctor," who interpreted thousands of listeners' dreams before ALS took his life. Together, we explore lucid dreaming, why dreams may be an "inner healer," how a recurring dream can actually be your body's cry for help (including a surprising link to sleep apnea), and how Charles faced a terminal diagnosis with a curiosity and grace that guided his whole family. It's a conversation about sleep, science, grief, and living fully in the present.

Tabitha Brown has built an empire by being unapologetically herself, from her career as an Emmy-winning host and author to becoming the founder of two beauty brands. She joins us for a candid conversation about what happened to Black-owned brands after Target rolled back its DEI initiatives—and why she ultimately chose not to renew her contract with the retailer. We also get into the story behind Donna's Recipe, her natural hair journey, the inspiration behind her Tab & Chance fragrances, and the very personal reason supporting ALS research remains so important to her.
