Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of Ditch the Lab Coat with Dr. Mark Bonta! While we usually dig into the science behind medicine's biggest questions, this week we're tackling the latest health fads and “wellness” trends lighting up your social feeds—from infrared saunas and cold plunges to mouth taping and chlorophyll water.Joining Mark is Dr. Samir Gupta, a leading Canadian health communicator, clinician, and respirologist known for translating the complex world of medical research into practical advice you can trust. Together, they sift fact from fiction on everything from the cardiovascular perks of sauna bathing (is it really the “new running”?), to the surprising metabolic effects of cold immersion, and what science truly says about intermittent fasting and its potential risks.If you've ever wondered whether that daily cold plunge will actually boost your immune system, or if packing your cart with ultra-processed foods is as dangerous as smoking, this episode is for you. Mark and Samir unpack the real data—both the encouraging findings and the cautionary tales—behind today's most viral wellness hacks, including why you might want to think twice before taping your mouth shut or spending a fortune on chlorophyll water.They also take a deep dive into the gut microbiome—what it actually is, how it impacts cravings and disease risk, and why you shouldn't rush to buy the latest “miracle” probiotic kit just yet. Plus, a frank discussion on the harms (and sometimes hilarity) of the social media health machine.Whether you're a wellness skeptic, a trend-chaser, or just someone confused by conflicting health advice, this episode delivers the scientifically sound, refreshingly honest perspective you've been looking for. Plug in for myth-busting, evidence-backed conversation—and a few laughs—about what it really takes to live healthier, longer, and smarter.Episode HighlightsSauna Science Surprises : Frequent sauna use, especially Finnish-style, is linked to reduced heart disease and dementia risk, with short- and long-term benefits.Infrared vs. Traditional Saunas : Infrared saunas might differ from classic dry saunas; less data supports their health claims, especially regarding respiratory or cardiovascular outcomes.Benefits and Limits of Cold Plunge : Cold plunges activate brown fat and may modulate immunity, but benefits depend on regular, protocol-based use—not occasional dips.Intermittent Fasting: Mixed Signals : Intermittent fasting can offer metabolic perks and moderate weight loss, but recent studies raise concerns about potential long-term cardiovascular risks.Ultra Processed Foods: New Tobacco : Growing evidence ties ultra processed foods to shorter lifespans, heart disease, cancers, and mental health risks—diet quality matters deeply.Fad Diets: Caution Required : Trends like the carnivore diet or chlorophyll water lack solid evidence and may distract from proven, common-sense health choices.Ancient Traditions, Modern Evidence : Heat and cold therapies are age-old practices; modern research is catching up to explain their physiological and health effects.Gut Microbiome: Emerging Frontier : The diversity and health of your gut bacteria impact metabolism, immunity, cravings, and possibly mental health; much remains unknown.Simple Habits Still Matter : Basic changes—better sleep, home cooking, activity, limiting processed foods—often have more impact than supplements or extreme regimens.Episode Timestamps06:00 – Sauna Benefits: Short and Long Term?08:44 – Evaluating Health Trends Skeptically13:19 – Ancient Health Benefits of Saunas17:00 – WeGovy Microdosing: Affordability and Efficacy19:52 – Intermittent Fasting: A Convenient Habit21:49 – Metabolic Adaptation and Eating Habits26:03 – Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods29:46 – Ultra-Processed Foods: Health Risks Highlighted33:09 – Unexpected Health Outcomes: Smoking vs. Lifestyle35:55 – Microbiome's Impact on Health and Cravings38:14 – Gut Microbiome: Promising but Uncertain42:41 – Investing in Health Improvements44:33 – Rethinking Supplement Fads with ScienceDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Looking for magic in your every day? You've found the right podcast episode! Today, in addition to Robyn and Karen, meet other key members of the Seeking Center Team, Lisa Capretto and Noel Kehoe, who are joining us in the spirit of Halloween and the magical energy that comes with this time of year! Together, they've found several  simple spells that can bring more peace, protection, and clarity into your life.And btw, what is a spell? A spell is typically understood as a set of words, gestures, or rituals believed to invoke supernatural powers to achieve a desired outcome. It has roots in many ancient traditions and is often associated with magic, witchcraft, and spiritual practices. In different cultures and throughout history, spells have been seen as a way to influence the physical world or manipulate unseen forces, often for healing, protection, love, or prosperity. In modern times, spells have taken on various forms depending on the belief system or spiritual path. Many contemporary practitioners see spells as a way to focus intention, aligning their will with spiritual or cosmic energies, which is how we'll be using the spells we talk about today as symbolic acts that blend belief, intention, and ritual to harness energy toward specific outcomes, a practice that continues to evolve across cultures and belief systems.Most of these can be used year-round, but we thought they'd be especially timely right now. So, what resonates with you? Whether you want to attract abundance, release old energy, or manifest more love in your life, there's something for everyone!As you celebrate this Halloween, maybe a little magic will make its way into your life too!Visit theseekingcenter.com for more from Robyn + Karen, plus mega inspo -- and the best wellness + spiritual practitioners, products and experiences on the planet!

From 2009 to 2017, Sarah Hurwitz worked in the White House, serving as head speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama and as a senior speechwriter for President Barack Obama. Prior to working in government, Hurwitz was the chief speechwriter for Hillary Clinton on her 2008 campaign for president and a speechwriter for Senator John Kerry and General Wesley Clark during the 2004 presidential election. Hurwitz is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School.   These are really impressive credentials, but without any of these Sarah would still be impressive and praise worthy. She reminds me what it means to be good, and no matter what religion or belief system you identify with, I think you'll find heartwarming inspiration in her words and the lessons she learned from these ancient traditions and practices.   We also talk about:  How a break-up lead her to discover Judaism  How the principles of Judaism are applicable to all of our lives Why words are so powerful even the casual things you say How empathy can make you better equipped for your job Why the ethics of modern american law sets a low bar for morality What it was like working for the Obamas (amazing obviously)  Our shared love for the Cooked Media guys  And, my favorite, if we can stop fighting ourselves we can find real meaning and joy...   Sarah is a really special, not to mention, incredibly smart and talented person with a gift for meaningful thoughts, ideas, and words. I could have chatted with her for hours about life.

In this episode of "Way of the Hermit," David and Gene dive down the rabbit hole, into the world of Gnosticism and its connection to Freemasonry. They explore how Gnostic teachings, once considered heretical, were driven underground and lay buried for centuries until their rediscovery in the 20th century. They discuss the core principles of Gnosticism, emphasizing its focus on direct inner knowledge of the divine (gnosis) rather than adherence to dogma or external rules.The episode traces the historical suppression of Gnostic ideas by early Christian literalists and examines key figures in Gnostic thought, including Simon Magus, Philo of Alexandria, and G.R.S. Mead. David and Gene highlight the significance of the Nag Hammadi texts discovered in 1945, which provided unprecedented insights into Gnostic Christianity. They also explore the symbolic interpretations of religious and Masonic stories, arguing that these allegories contain deeper truths about human consciousness and spiritual awakening.The discussion draws intriguing parallels between Gnostic concepts and Masonic symbolism, suggesting that Freemasonry is perhaps a form of Gnosticism. They propose that the three degrees of the Masonic Blue Lodge, as well as the Masonic quest for the “Lost Word”, the three names of God and three temples in the Scottish Rite, correspond to the three stages of Gnostic awakening.Deep Dive:Nag Hammadi's Gnostic RevelationsChapters:01:15 Introduction01:36 Gnosticism04:02 Masonry is Gnosticism06:33 The Key to the Mysteries09:56 Church of the Antichrist13:19 Simon Magus15:49 Philo of Alexandria18:05 G.R.S.

Explores angels from Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, Hinduism and Buddhism, the beliefs of ancient Egypt, Yezidism, and Zoroastrianism as well as what Theosophists, Kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and modern mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angels From the divine messengers of Western traditions to the devas of Eastern traditions to the meleks and spirit beings found along the Silk Road, angels are one of the unifying themes of theology worldwide. But what is an angel, and why do they contact us, believers and nonbelievers alike? In this in-depth study into the mystery and purpose of angels, Normandi Ellis looks at the angelic dimensions of spiritual traditions around the world—from the ancient past to present day. She explores well-known angels from Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, the Hindu devata and Buddhist spirit beings, the spirit beings of ancient Egypt, the Peacock Angel of Yezidism, and the yazatas of Zoroastrianism. She compares angelic visions from medieval Christians like Thomas Aquinas and John of Damascus with what Theosophists, kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and modern mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angels. She looks at dark and fallen angels and their role in the grand cosmological plan. Quoting from sacred traditions, narrative myth, and contemporary angelic encounters, including her own personal interactions with angels, the author clarifies the divergent aspects of angelic beliefs but also reveals the common points shared by all traditions. Ellis shows how, in whatever guise they appear, angels are messengers. She explains that angels are beings of light consciousness, part of the universal life force that connects all beings. And not only are angels actively helping in our planet's cosmic evolution, they also help us see our own place in the cosmic plan.

Taylor Willingham is the founder of the Willingham Law Firm, PLLC and creator of Posterity Planning. He is an estate planning attorney with a deep understanding of the intricate process of preparing for the future. In our conversation, we explored the profound impact of estate planning beyond the mere distribution of assets. Willingham shared insights into how individuals can leave a lasting legacy that encapsulates their values, wisdom, and life lessons for future generations.Willingham outlined three principal aspects of effective legacy planning: asset distribution, the importance of intangible legacies such as wisdom and digital footprints, and hierarchical succession. He emphasized, "Everybody always thinks about the assets and the money... I found that to actually be not the biggest thing," highlighting the growing significance of social media and digital platforms in preserving one's legacy. This perspective shifts the focus from traditional estate planning towards a more holistic approach, considering the value of personal stories and wisdom passed down through generations.One of the most captivating aspects discussed was the concept of a 'sabayat', an ancient Egyptian tradition of leaving written instructions and wisdom for descendants. Willingham connected this to modern practices of sharing personal messages and stories through digital media, illustrating the timeless human desire to impart knowledge and guidance to the next generation.Willingham's personal journey, from struggling to establish his law practice during an economic downturn to his success as a founder of multiple companies, adds a layer of authenticity to his insights on perseverance and the importance of legacy. His story of recording his grandfather's life experiences and the unexpected connections that emerged from sharing these stories online underscores the potential for digital platforms to immortalize personal histories and values.The episode also delves into practical advice on managing digital legacies, emphasizing the importance of not deleting social media accounts of the deceased to preserve memories for loved ones. Willingham advises, "Do not delete them... You're erasing memories that other people would really want." This practical guidance, combined with the broader discussion on legacy planning, offers listeners a comprehensive understanding of the importance of thoughtful preparation for the future.Listeners will come away with a deeper appreciation for the intangible aspects of legacy planning, equipped with the knowledge to approach their own estate planning in a way that truly reflects their values and wishes. Willingham's expertise and personal experiences make for an engaging and informative discussion, offering valuable takeaways for anyone looking to leave a meaningful legacy.

Can world religions possibly share more similarities than we may have thought? The similarities may surprise us if we look back at ancient religions and trace them through history. Listen up to learn: Why comparing religions can be dangerous What inspired the formation of religious texts How religious study can impact students Yair Lior, Ph.D. of religious studies in the department of religion at Boston University, shares his research and study in comparative religion and its science. While many of the major world religions today may appear vastly different at first glance, they may share ancient similarities branching from distant commonalities. Especially when considering beliefs in the distant past before modern religious ideas, we can begin to uncover the similarities which branch from unexpected practices. If we begin to separate ourselves from where we base our religious beliefs, we can adopt an analytical mindset when studying the world of religion. Moreover, by introducing exploration and education into current beliefs, it may even strengthen the beliefs we currently hold, allowing us to explore deeper than we previously believed.
