How many things have you NOT done because you felt like your English wasn't ready yet? Applied for that job. Started creating content. Spoke up more. Started a business. There were three big things I postponed because I kept telling myself I wasn't ready: teaching in English, starting my YouTube channel, and starting my podcast. And looking back, I wish I hadn't waited. Because waiting didn't make me more ready, taking action did. In this episode, I'm sharing these three stories and what they taught me about confidence, fear, perfectionism, and the idea of being "ready." If there's something you've been waiting to do because of your English, I hope this episode gives you the push to start before you feel ready! ♥️
What does the Bible mean by glorification? Is heaven merely an escape from this world, or does Scripture promise something far greater? And how does our future glory shape the Christian life today? In this concluding episode of our series on John Murray's Redemption Accomplished and Applied, Nate Shannon is joined by S.A. Fix to explore the final benefit of redemption: glorification. Together they discuss why Murray ends his classic work with this doctrine, how glorification flows from our union with Christ, and why the Christian hope is not the liberation of the soul from the body, but the resurrection of the body and the renewal of all creation. Along the way, they consider the Bible's rejection of Gnostic ideas about matter, the corporate nature of the believer's future glory, and the pastoral importance of fixing our eyes on the world to come as we faithfully endure suffering in the present. As this series concludes, Murray's vision reminds us that the order of salvation does not terminate in justification or even sanctification. It culminates in the certain hope that all who are united to Christ will one day share fully in His resurrection glory—a hope secured by Christ Himself and guaranteed to every believer.

Not yet a member? Ad-free listening, the Discourse community, and a members' show every week, all for less than you spend on gels.Show notesOn the show this week, a European Championships wrap featuring Nadia Battocletti's astonishing 10,000m finish and Audrey Werro's win over Keely Hodgkinson, a German sprinter under a doping cloud, world records in the pool, and a follow-up on peptides.(00:01:41) A follow-up to the peptides show with Mike, and the thing Ross wishes he had said. The anecdote that BPC-157 failed to fix someone's Achilles is the human version of publication bias, because nobody ever tells you about the thing that didn't work.(00:12:23) The European Championships format and the broadcast, which featured more talking heads than athletics on the BBC, and an athletic programme with far too little action relative to downtime.(00:16:52) The women's 800m, where Werro beat Hodgkinson for her fourth sub-1:55 of the year, and Bol ran a national record in third. Whose trajectory looks best in the medium to long-term?(00:28:26) Batocletti's exceptional sprint finish, and a Tim Noakes tweet asking why she could speed up at all. Ross explains the end spurt, the reserve we all hold back, and why this particular race proves rather less than it appears to.(00:31:52) A stat from Jason Henderson: Batocletti's last 200m was 28.17, Werro's in the 800m was 29.11. Not a typo, and we explain why the fatigue of an 800m is a completely different animal, and speculate that it's probably more common than you'd think for the 10000m races to finish faster than the 800m ones(00:34:37) Andreas Almgren's solo 10,000m, run at 26:43 pace for the final 8.8km. Tactical optimization and a signal for a sub 26:30 in the future?(00:40:22) Amy Hunt's four golds, and a newspaper headline that poured cold water on them.(00:43:42) Owen Ansah wins European gold under a doping cloud, having refused a test because he had a flight to catch. What counts as "compelling justification", and why a 2016 case suggests he is in trouble.(00:52:26) The tragic death of Fin Tarling, the near-impossibility of policing a 1,300km course, and Adam Hansen's call for better helmets, which are certified only to 19.5km/h.(00:59:47) Swimming, where Kate Douglass broke the 50m freestyle world record twice in a day, a 19-year-old German went under 14:30 for the 1500m free, and Lani Pallister beat Katie Ledecky over 800m for the first time.(01:10:46) And finally, South Africa versus New Zealand has branded itself "Rugby's Greatest Rivalry". Gareth is not buying it. Ross offers the context for why it's about more than rugby, but also great rugbyNo news show next week, but there's an interview show planned for Monday, and the members' Applied show will take overtraining next week Friday.

How does a nation crippled by territorial losses clear a war debt worth a fraction of a global empire's annual output within two years? In this episode, Ramjee Chandran analyzes the true economic weight of the 3-crore-and-30-lakh-rupee ransom imposed on Tipu Sultan after the Treaty of Seringapatam. Uncover how Tipu avoided borrowing a single rupee by combining personal treasury reserves, severe military wage cuts, and sophisticated revenue extractions from his subjects to bring his hostage sons back from Madras Key Details from the Script: Evaluating the True Value of 3 Crore 30 Lakh Rupees: Economic historian M.H. Gopal converts the indemnity to £3.3 million sterling (at £1 to Rs 10). Using economic historian Stephen Broadberry's methodology—which measures an indemnity's share of a nation's total economic output—the 1792 payment represented 1.5% to 1.75% of Great Britain's entire annual GDP (~£200 million at the time). Applied to the modern UK economy (~£3.15 trillion), this single payment equates to approximately £45 billion today. Inspection of Mysore's Portable Treasury Books: During initial negotiations, the British originally demanded 6 crore rupees. Mysore's chief envoys, including Ghulam Ali, presented the kingdom's formal, portable treasury accounts for British inspection. Upon verifying these ledgers, Lord Cornwallis agreed to accept 3 crore rupees, plus 30 lakh rupees for "durbar expenses" (war costs), specifically demanding immediate cash in hand ("ready money" in gold/silver coin and bullion). Immediate Remittance and the Pressure of Hostages: Delay, default, or bad-harvest pleas were impossible options because Tipu's two young sons were held hostage in Madras. On February 28, 1792—less than a week after preliminary terms were sealed and weeks before the final treaty was signed—Tipu remitted over 1 crore and 9 lakh rupees (~one-third of the total debt). How the Full Ransom Was Raised (Wilks/Gopal Analysis): 110 Lakhs (1.1 Crore): Direct contribution from Tipu Sultan's personal treasury and state reserves. 60 Lakhs: Extracted from the Mysore army via Nazarana (forced ceremonial offerings). Soldiers' annual pay was cut by two months per year over 2.5 years, forcing the defeated military to pay for its own war penalty. 160 Lakhs (1.6 Crore): Collected from the population. Department heads fraudulently assessed themselves as paid on paper and shifted the burden to the districts. The state artificially inflated the conversion value of the gold pagoda, forcing farmers to pay higher actual tax rates. The Paradox of Credit: Mysore vs. East India Company: Mysore: Paid the entirety of its massive, modern multi-billion-pound equivalent debt in cash without borrowing a single anna. East India Company: Conquered India almost entirely on credit extended by Indian banking houses (hundis), leading to a tripled corporate debt under Richard Wellesley that nearly bankrupted the Company. The final payment was delivered in 1794, successfully securing the safe return of princes Abdul Khaliq and Muiz-ud-din.

What does it mean to be united to Christ? Nate Shannon is joined by Dr. Sinclair Ferguson to discuss John Murray's climactic chapter on union with Christ, the fountain from which every saving benefit flows. Along the way, Dr. Ferguson reflects on Murray's remarkable influence as a theologian and teacher, the relationship between doctrine and piety, the Christian's union with the triune God, and the transforming power of communion with Christ from eternity past to everlasting glory. If you've followed this series from the beginning, this conversation brings Murray's vision of salvation to its fitting conclusion: every blessing of redemption is ours because we are in Christ.

The natural immunity framing from the COVID years carried the same premise underneath: strong enough to get through it and you live, and if not, that is simply how it goes. Applied to a country where most people accumulate two or three chronic conditions with age, that is a policy with a serious body count. Measles is already back at levels not seen in decades. Bouie's closing point is the one that stuck: Trump has no ideology beyond himself. The ideologues are Stephen Miller and Russ Vought - both of whom are happy to implement racist policies targeting those who are vulnerable in the US.

Become a Supporter of The Science of Sport for about the price of a coffee, or a gel, and help us keep the lights on, and Gareth's candle burning! Plus, you'll get ad free listening, a weekly Applied show, and a community that argues better than the internet does!Show notesOn the show today, the physiology behind the best women's Grand Tour we can remember, and a doping ban that fits a pattern we have seen many times before.(00:01:00) The Tour de France Femmes was, we think, the best Grand Tour either of us has watched in years, and we explore the nine stages of unpredictable racing that had us intrigued, even if the record will show that Demi Vollering won four of them.(00:05:56) Kasia Niewiadoma's ride on Mont Ventoux, at somewhere between 5.3 and 5.6 W/kg for the climb, is arguably the greatest climbing performance in the history of women's cycling, and we place it against the published power duration curves to show just how far outside the 90th percentile it sits.(00:17:19) Niewiadoma also posted 9.9 W/kg for 86 seconds, and from that single Strava screenshot we work out her FTP and her W', the anaerobic "battery", which lets us answer the question everyone argued about, namely whether being blocked into that corner actually cost her time to rival Vollering. We think the answer is unequivocally yes, and the maths and the principle of pacing explains why.(00:25:50) Praise for Puck Pieterse, sympathy for Marlen Reusser and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and a wonder about the 'mature' podium, and the prospect of a handover to the next generation in good time, just not 'our time'(00:41:41) The World U20 Championships, where a 17 year old ran 7:28 solo for 3000m, Tate Taylor doubled up in 9.94 and 19.83, and the ever-turning carousel of youth talent that is sometimes derailed by injury and sometimes deposed by the next young phenom(00:45:46) Jakob Ingebrigtsen returns and wins the European 5000m title in 13:16, off a slow race that played into his hands, and he explains, correctly, that a 5000m is not a test of speed but of how much speed you have left. He also promises he'll be "astonishingly a lot better" next time.(00:52:32) Jonah Koech gets a three year ban after an adverse passport finding. We explain how the biological passport actually works, why two suspicious samples means the values must have been wildly out of the norm, and why his 3.2% improvement should have invited scepticism long before the blood results did. Performance is not proof, but pattern recognition lives on, with this its latest illustration.(01:07:46) The WNBA has no eligibility policy, so two former NBA players have declared for the women's draft to prove the point. We discuss why choosing not to decide is itself a decision, how people are choosing to pretend a problem doesn't exist (or that it doesn't matter if it does), and contrast this with the WTA who have implemented screening for eligibility, and just gotten on with it(01:15:29) And finally, the origins of the steeplechase, which begins with two blokes, an Irish pub, a wager, and two church steeples. Plus a nutritionist on social media who watched 96 seconds and decided we had lost all credibility. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard The Texas Rangers lost 3-2 to the Angels on Tuesday, a game that was frustrating offensively in light of a solid performance by starting pitcher Cody Bradford. The Rangers' first run came on the first batter of the game, as Joc Pederson homered, but the offense missed a chance later in the first inning and throughout the game. The offense has reverted to its early-season form by scoring only 15 runs in their past five games. The drought comes at a time when the starting rotation has been good but now faces more adversity with Nathan Eovaldi in the injured list.

Why does God sometimes seem silent? In this episode, we explore ten biblical "Terms and Conditions" for prayer—ranging from repentance and forgiveness to persistence and right motives. Drawing on the KJV/NIV Bibles and personal reflections, we discuss how to align your heart with God's will to transform your prayer life.
A rash baffled 25 years of dermatologists. It disappeared in a week once Dr. Steven Zodkoy traced it to a childhood memory. Here's what that case, and the concept of a "biofilm," has to do with your migraines and your bladder. Dr. Chris Motley sits down with Dr. Steven Zodkoy, a chiropractor and applied kinesiologist who became the first in his field to pass the American College of Nutrition exam, a credential previously reserved for MDs and PhDs. Thirty-five years into practice, Dr. Zodkoy specializes in the patient conventional medicine gave up on: the migraine sufferer, the "recurring UTI" patient who never actually had a UTI, the chronic fatigue case with a normal bloodwork panel. His framework rests on one idea most doctors do not test for: the biofilm, a sticky protective layer that bacteria, viruses, mold, and parasites lay down to hide from the immune system and from treatment. Once one pathogen builds a biofilm, Zodkoy argues, it invites others in, which is why a "cured" infection so often resurfaces as something else entirely, chronic sinusitis becoming Lyme-like fatigue, a bladder infection becoming a lifetime of unexplained pelvic tightness, a resistant childhood strain becoming an adult autoimmune diagnosis. Key Takeaways Biofilms are why a "cleared" infection keeps coming back as something else. A biofilm is the mucous-like shield a bacterium, virus, parasite, or mold colony builds to hide from the immune system and from antibiotics. Once it's there, he says, it invites other pathogens to shelter in it too, which can explain why chronic sinusitis, Lyme-linked fatigue, and mold exposure so often show up in the same patient. Interstitial cystitis is frequently a tight-bladder problem being treated as a recurrent UTI. Dr. Zodkoy's read: stress and anxiety tighten the bladder, it never fully empties, and what's left behind gets infected, so the antibiotic treats a symptom while the muscle stays tight and the infections keep returning. His protocol adjusts the pelvic floor and pubic symphysis, then layers in biofilm-breaking supplements and emotional work. A 25-year rash resolved after one round of Neuro-Emotional Technique tied to an age-seven memory. Every physical test on this patient, mold, yeast, parasites, heavy metals, came back clean. Emotional testing didn't. His migraine protocol runs liver support first, nervous system second, emotional work third, in that order, on purpose. Dr. Zodkoy's 1992 theory ties migraines to a slow-functioning liver overloaded by chemical exposure, hormones, or diet. He walks us through his 8-week liver protocol, 16 weeks including autonomic nervous system support, and a 96% success rate once emotional work is added. You cannot do deep detox or trauma work on a nervous system that has nothing left. There's no point moving to detox, biofilm-clearing, or emotional release until a patient's self-rated energy crosses roughly 50 to 60 out of 100. [00:00:00] Cold open: migraines, interstitial cystitis, chronic fatigue, and the biofilm nobody explains [00:02:02] Origin story: "doctor, lawyer, doctor" and practicing three months before 25 [00:04:04] Why he became a nutritionist first: the autonomic nervous system as the missing piece [00:06:08] Finding a hidden emotion: the six-minute visit versus a real history [00:09:37] The HPA axis toolkit: DHEA, GABA, adaptogens, and a gut bacterium built for stress [00:11:27] NET, emotion code, and generational trauma: "it doesn't have to be real, it has to be believed" [00:14:36] The 25-year rash: a muscle test, a forgotten age seven, and a mother's confession [00:19:04] Migraines: the 1992 liver theory, the 80/20 split, and a claimed 96% success rate [00:23:43] Interstitial cystitis is not a UTI: the tight bladder nobody is treating [00:27:06] Killing the biofilm: natokinase, antimicrobials, and cranial electrotherapy stimulation [00:31:29] The sympathetic-parasympathetic seesaw, and why healing collapses without it [00:34:59] The "oomph" scale: testing cortisol at home and in the office [00:36:27] The protocol in order: glandulars, adaptogens, and parasympathetic support, dosed on purpose [00:43:30] Chronic fatigue, sinus biofilms, and the "house party" that becomes Lyme, EBV, and mold [00:47:19] Parasites in America, and the TG/HDL ratio he says predicts heart risk [01:00:02] Closing: where to find Dr. Zodkoy, and a teed-up follow-up on the healthcare system Resources Mentioned Tools & Products Biofilm Clear: Zodkoy's stated favorite combination product for breaking down biofilms, made up of natokinase, serrapeptase, lumbrokinase, and bromelain. He describes dosing at 2000 IU for patients under 50 and up to 4000 IU for patients over 50 with abnormal bloodwork. CP2305 (referenced in audio as "PC2305"): a Lactobacillus gasseri probiotic strain studied for stress and HPA-axis effects. True Laser: a home low-level laser device Zodkoy places over the vagus nerve. Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) units: clip-on-the-ear devices Zodkoy uses for anxiety, sleep, depression, and (with pads placed over the bladder) interstitial cystitis relief. Adrenal glandular products (brand examples given: Adrenal Complex from Designs for Health, Adrenal from Orthomolecular, Cortex from Thorne Research), used at a fraction of label dose, one pill in the morning only, per Zodkoy's protocol. Adaptogens referenced: ashwagandha, holy basil, rhodiola, cordyceps. • Nervous-system support referenced: DHEA, L-theanine, GABA, phosphatidylserine, adrenoglandulars. Antimicrobials referenced for biofilm-associated infections: berberine, olive leaf, oregano. Nutrients referenced for liver-support migraine protocol: B vitamins, glutathione, NAC. Concepts referenced: HPA axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal): the stress-response pathway Zodkoy targets before any other intervention. Applied kinesiology: manual muscle testing Zodkoy uses to distinguish emotional, physical, biochemical, parasitic, fungal, or toxic causes of a symptom. NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique), Emotion Code, Body Code: hands-on techniques used to locate and release stored emotional triggers.

Can a Christian lose his salvation? In this episode of our Redemption Accomplished and Applied series, Nate Shannon is joined by Westminster alumnus and pastor Gabe Fluhrer to explore John Murray's treatment of the perseverance of the saints. Together they examine why perseverance rests not on human resolve but on God's unchanging grace, discuss the relationship between justification and assurance, and consider how the ordinary means of grace sustain believers through seasons of doubt, temptation, and suffering. Above all, this conversation points listeners to Christ, the One who preserves His people and will surely raise them up on the last day.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports The Texas Rangers needed a good homestand and got it, winning both three-game series and narrowly missing out on a sweep of the Orioles on Sunday. Now, the Rangers go on the road to face the two worst teams in the American League, the Angels and the A's. The opportunity for a successful seven-game road trip and to gain ground in the playoff race is right in front of them. They need the rotation to continue pitching well. The lone hiccup last time through was Kumar Rocker, who on Sunday allowed a mental mistake to cause his outing to unravel.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports The Texas Rangers are holding onto the thought that they will be a playoff threat as players return from the injured list. The first one back turned out to be Cody Bradford, who was a surprise starter Wednesday against the Giants. He tossed 4 1/3 innings in a 6-0 win that secured a series win. Up next should be Jordan Montgomery, but the Rangers have some maneuvering to do. But the players on the roster have to carry their fair share of the load, too, and it starts with Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom in a key home series against the Orioles.

Dr. Rosy Boa explains why pole dancers need strong, stable shoulders for hanging, spinning, climbing, and inverted work, outlining shoulder anatomy and key movement demands. She reviews general strength patterns used in pole—horizontal and vertical push/pull—and emphasizes the importance of isometric straight-arm hanging strength. For overhead stability, she highlights conditioning the rotator cuff via external rotation to keep the humeral head securely positioned during arm flexion, offering a simple external rotation drill. She also stresses scapular upward rotation for full overhead range and stability and concludes that shoulder mobility requires stability training to pole safely and long-term.Learn more about the Science of Slink membership & join now: https://scienceofslink.com/The book I reference (HIGHLY recommend!): Emily Scherb, D.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard The buzz did not match trade-deadline reality Monday with the Texas Rangers are the MLB trade deadline. They did next to nothing, trading away Josh Smith to Toronto for Adam Macko, a young left-handed pitcher. The Rangers had been informed by Jacob deGrom that he would not waive his no-trade protection, with the right-hander saying that he wants to win with the Rangers. That's why he signed and asked for no trades in the first place. The Rangers then went out and laid an egg against the Giants, losing 5-1. The Rangers committed five errors in their sixth straight loss, a bad look for a team that keeps saying it's good enough to win as is.

What does it mean to be holy? In this episode of our Redemption Accomplished and Applied series, Nate Shannon is joined by Westminster professor Rob Edwards to explore John Murray's treatment of sanctification. Together they unpack Murray's important distinction between definitive and progressive sanctification, discuss what it means to be freed from the dominion of sin, and show how Christ's death and resurrection become the pattern and power of the Christian life. Along the way, they consider the role of the ordinary means of grace, the fellowship of the church, and the hope the gospel offers to every believer still struggling against sin.

Lock it away until 59 and a half. Pay a penalty to touch it early. Hand it to a manager you will never meet. Check in decades later and hope it worked out. Applied to a retirement account, that is just the default. Applied to a child, it is unthinkable. Before he takes it apart, Hans gives the 401(k) an honest steel man: the match really is part of your total compensation, the tax treatment is real, and for someone low on both financial literacy and discipline, forced savings may be the single best thing that ever happens to their balance sheet.Chapters:00:00 – Opening segment02:55 – The premise: would you raise a child like a 401(k)?06:45 – Why enter an industry this saturated11:30 – Defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator, head coach14:20 – Cash value as the buffer in a down market16:20 – Decumulation, Social Security timing, RMDs, and beneficiaries20:40 – The honest steel man for the 401(k)25:50 – Roth versus traditional and paying tax on the seed26:40 – The tax code as a map around income27:50 – Forced savings and where the 401(k) genuinely shines31:25 – Will 70% of your income really be enough?36:20 – The box, the penalty, and the friction that works both ways37:20 – Would you outsource raising your children?47:20 – Most of your time with your kids happens before they turn 1848:25 – Which rules will still exist when you turn 60?50:35 – Buy and hope dressed up as buy and hold54:15 – Net worth versus cash flow and the $3 million mansion57:00 – Contract wealth versus statement wealth59:15 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:The match is not free money in the way LinkedIn tells you it is. It is a piece of the economic value your employer already assigned to your labor, and you only unlock it by parting with your own capital first.The 401(k) works, and it shines for one profile: low financial literacy paired with low discipline. If money leaves your hands regardless of intent, automatic enrollment and a penalty for early access may be the only thing standing between you and nothing. Whether you choose Roth or traditional comes down to a bet about the future. The conventional plan assumes you will need roughly 70% of your current income and land in a lower bracket. Locking capital away for 30 years is also a bet on political stability. The access ages have been changed before, they will be changed again, and $40 trillion sitting in qualified plans is a resource the system is already leveraging..Money is not math. Behavior is the largest determinant of any outcome, more than knowledge and more than which strategy you choose. Protect, save, grow in that order. Your capital feeds the people you love, so stop treating it like a stranger's science project.

In this episode of ABA on Call, Rick Kubina and Doug Kostewicz respond to two real parenting questions drawn from social media. First, they examine the common misconception that reinforcement and bribery are the same, clarifying the behavioral principles underlying reinforcement, incentives, schedules of reinforcement, and the Premack Principle. They then analyze a complex family situation in which young children consistently seek one parent while rejecting the other, demonstrating how behavior analysts use objective data, motivating operations, attention, and reinforcement contingencies to understand and address challenging family dynamics. Throughout the discussion, the hosts illustrate how behavior analysis provides compassionate, practical, and evidence-based solutions to everyday parenting concerns.

Become a Supporter of The Real Science of Sport, and for the price of a coffee, or a gel, you get a bonus Applied episode every week, ad-free shows, and the best cycling and running community going over on Discourse.Show notesThis week we recap Tadej Pogačar's record-breaking Tour de France, and then get into the meat of it: why anti-doping leans so heavily on investigation and targeted testing, with insights from our interview with Brett Clothier, head of athletics' Athletics Integrity Unit.(02:24) Tadej Pogačar wins a fifth Tour de France in what Ross reckons is the most dominant display he has seen in any sport, and we dig into the numbers behind it, including an estimated 7 W/kg on Alpe d'Huez that obliterates Pantani's old mark, why the yellow jersey was effectively settled by stage six, and why the racing everywhere else still made it a decent watch.(13:55) The weight-loss double standard. Remco Evenepoel reportedly dropped around nine pounds for the Tour with barely a murmur, while Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's weight loss dominated the coverage last year. We ask why the reaction differs by sex, and where the line sits between periodised, medically supervised leanness and a genuine eating-disorder risk.(19:42) That Montmartre finale, with Van der Poel and Pogačar breaking clear on the last climb, van der Poel's heroic's to hold off the chasing pack, and Jasper Philipsen's remarkable judgement to "win" by not winning against his team-mate. Plus, we ponder whether the GC should really be neutralised so early on the final day? We say let them race.(32:37) The headline this week: why testing alone rarely catches the big fish, and why investigation and targeted testing do. Prompted by the furore over 2am and 5am testing at the Tour, we hear from Brett Clothier of the Athletics Integrity Unit, and explain the biological passport, the micro-dosing of EPO, fast-clearance methods, gene-doping fears, and why a genuinely "transparent" statement about a target test is close to impossible without prejudicing everyone involved.(46:26) A look ahead to the women's Tour de France, the contenders including Vollering, Blasi, Niewiadoma, Ferrand-Prévot and Reusser. With storylines galore, it features the return of a time trial, and French TV figures showing the women's race is closer to the men's than you might expect.(51:48) Are the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow still worth watching without the stars? Gareth is won over by the weightlifting, and we ask whether you really need the very best in the world to enjoy sport.(58:49) The Ultimate Championship, athletics' new 10 million dollar, three-night, TV-first format, complete with a black infield, real-time win probabilities, Mondo Duplantis on stadium DJ duty, and no country quotas. We react, and Ross pitches what he would add to the broadcast(64:16) Josh Kerr reveals how the pacing lights were slowed over the final 100 metres of his mile record to create the illusion he was beating them. Clever theatre, or are we being deceived?(67:00) And finally, Discourse member Ana sets off on a 15,000km "big lap" of Australia on her gravel bike. We wish her luck, and start plotting the data she should share with our listener community!LinksThis is the ITA statement during the Tour - it's really all they can say and expecting more is a day dream!The article on gene doping - speculative and sounds like sci-fi, but might it be happeningThe paper on micro-dosing and detection challengesPlugge on how the tests brought doping back to cyclingPreview of the TDF for WomenDetails on the World Athletics Ultimate Championships Hosted on Acast.

A 42-year-old man walked into my office.Blood pressure: 165 over 100.His doctor had already written the prescription. He was sitting across from me, looked me in the eye, and said:“I don't want to just manage this. I want to fix it.”Four weeks later, his blood pressure was completely normal. No medication change. No direct blood pressure treatment.Because here's the thing — we never once directly treated his blood pressure.We treated the system that was producing it.That's what this episode is about.The Reframe That Changes EverythingMost people — and most conventional medical appointments — treat blood pressure like it is the problem. The number is high, so we lower the number. Done.But blood pressure is not the problem. It's a report card. It's your body's way of showing you — in a very measurable, very undeniable way — that something upstream has gone wrong.Think of it like the check engine light in your car. You don't put tape over it and drive off. You open the hood.So today, we're opening the hood.Before we do — let's make sure we're speaking the same language. Blood pressure is two numbers:* Systolic (top number): pressure when your heart contracts and pushes blood out* Diastolic (bottom number): pressure when your heart is relaxing between beatsConventionally, 130/80 or above is classified as Stage 1 hypertension. A lot of people are sitting in that zone, being told to “keep an eye on it.”That advice isn't enough. Something created that pressure. And until we find out what, we're managing a symptom — not solving a problem.The 6 Root Drivers of High Blood PressureFrom a functional and metabolic medicine standpoint, there are six primary root drivers I look at when someone walks in with elevated blood pressure. Almost every time, it's not one of these in isolation — it's a combination.1. Insulin ResistanceThis is the big one. And it is criminally underdiagnosed.Here's the mechanism: when insulin is chronically elevated — from too much processed food, too much sugar, not enough movement — the kidneys start holding onto sodium. More sodium means more water in the bloodstream. More volume means more pressure. Basic physics.On top of that, high insulin activates your sympathetic nervous system — your fight-or-flight response — which causes blood vessels to constrict. Less room for the same amount of blood? Pressure goes up.Here's what makes this especially tricky: your blood sugar can look completely normal on a standard lab panel, and you can still have significant insulin resistance. That's why I don't just check fasting glucose. I look at fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and when needed, a glucose tolerance test with insulin levels drawn at multiple time points.2. Chronic InflammationInflammation damages the endothelium — the delicate inner lining of your blood vessels. When it's damaged, vessels lose their flexibility. They can't dilate and constrict properly.And a key molecule called nitric oxide — your body's natural blood vessel relaxer — drops off significantly when the endothelium is inflamed.Less nitric oxide, stiffer vessels, higher pressure. Every time.I test this with high-sensitivity CRP, homocysteine, and sometimes oxidized LDL. These aren't on a standard panel, but they tell me everything about what's happening inside those vessels.3. HPA Axis Dysregulation (Chronic Stress)Your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis — your stress response system — when chronically activated, keeps you pumping out cortisol and adrenaline. Both cause vasoconstriction. Both tell your kidneys to hold onto sodium. Both keep your heart rate elevated.Your body was designed to activate this system in short bursts — run from a predator, deal with a crisis. It was never designed to do this 24 hours a day in response to emails, traffic, and financial pressure.But that's the world most of us are living in. And for a lot of people, their blood pressure reflects it.4. Mineral DeficienciesMagnesium is the most important mineral almost nobody talks about in the context of blood pressure.It's a natural calcium channel blocker — and calcium channel blockers are literally one of the most prescribed blood pressure medications on the market.Magnesium helps blood vessels relax. It regulates the sodium-potassium pump in your cells. When it's low — and estimates suggest 60 to 80% of Americans are suboptimal — vessels stay tight.Potassium works hand-in-hand with magnesium and sodium to regulate fluid balance and vascular tone. I look at sodium-to-potassium ratios, not just absolute numbers, because that ratio matters enormously for cardiovascular regulation.5. Sleep Deprivation & Circadian DisruptionYour blood pressure is supposed to dip 10 to 20 percent during sleep. This is called nocturnal dipping, and it's when your cardiovascular system gets its nightly repair window.When you're not sleeping enough — or sleep quality is poor — that dip doesn't happen. Your heart works overtime, around the clock. Over weeks and months and years, that creates a chronically elevated baseline.Obstructive sleep apnea is a massive, underdiagnosed contributor here. If you wake up tired, snore loudly, or wake with morning headaches, please get tested. The connection between sleep apnea and hypertension is direct and well-established.Poor sleep also elevates cortisol and inflammatory markers — feeding every other driver on this list simultaneously.6. Mitochondrial DysfunctionThis one is underappreciated even in functional medicine circles.Your mitochondria — the energy factories inside every cell — are responsible for generating the ATP that powers your heart muscle, your vascular smooth muscle, everything. When they're dysfunctional — from chronic stress, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, or oxidative damage — cellular energy production drops.Your cardiovascular system then has to compensate by working harder. Blood pressure creeps up as a downstream consequence of your cells simply not having enough energy to function efficiently.We'll come back to this when we get to the quantum biology piece — because this is where it gets really interesting.This is the part most people have never heard anywhere. Lean in.Quantum biology examines the role of light, water, electrons, and quantum mechanical processes inside living cells. When it comes to blood pressure specifically, three things stand out.Light and the MitochondriaYour mitochondria are not just calorie-burning machines. They are fundamentally light-responsive.Near-infrared light — the kind emitted by the sun in the morning and evening, and also by incandescent and red light sources — directly stimulates cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.When properly stimulated by light, mitochondria produce more ATP, more structured water, and more nitric oxide. There's that word again — nitric oxide. The natural vasodilator. The thing that keeps blood vessels relaxed and flexible.When people stop getting morning sunlight and spend their entire day under blue-shifted artificial light, mitochondrial function degrades. Nitric oxide drops. Blood vessels stiffen. Pressure rises.This isn't fringe science. There is solid, published research connecting light exposure — particularly morning sunlight — to cardiovascular and blood pressure outcomes.Circadian BiologyYour body has a master clock in a region of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Nearly every cell in the body has its own peripheral clock synchronized to it.Blood pressure has a natural circadian rhythm. It should be lower at night, begin rising about an hour before waking, peak in the late morning, and modulate through the day. When circadian rhythm is disrupted — by artificial light at night, irregular eating, shift work, or poor sleep — that rhythm breaks down.A disrupted circadian clock is directly linked to hypertension. The mechanisms involve cortisol timing, aldosterone regulation, and inflammatory gene expression — all of which influence vascular tone.This is why I ask every patient about their light environment. When do you go outside? What does your bedroom look like at night? What time do you eat your last meal? These feel like lifestyle questions. They are cardiovascular questions.Structured Water and Vascular FunctionResearcher Gerald Pollack at the University of Washington has done groundbreaking work on what he calls the fourth phase of water — EZ water, or exclusion zone water. This is a gel-like, structured form of water that forms at hydrophilic surfaces, including the inner lining of blood vessels.EZ water is negatively charged and creates a kind of biological battery that powers cellular function and supports smooth, low-friction blood flow — essentially a lubrication layer inside your vascular system.What builds EZ water? Sunlight (particularly infrared), movement, grounding, and proper hydration with mineralized water.What degrades it? Dehydration, toxic load, poor light environment, chronic EMF exposure.When the vascular lining is not properly hydrated at this structured level, blood viscosity changes, endothelial function suffers, and blood pressure goes up.The bottom line: your blood pressure is not just a plumbing problem. It's a biological energy problem. And the inputs that drive cellular energy — light, water, minerals, sleep, movement, stress — are the same inputs that drive blood pressure.What This All Means: A Quick RecapHere's the picture pulled together:* Blood pressure is a symptom, not the root problem* The six root drivers are: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, HPA axis dysregulation, mineral deficiencies (especially magnesium and potassium), sleep deprivation and circadian disruption, and mitochondrial dysfunction* Applied kinesiology provides a way to assess how structural and neurological interference contributes to sympathetic dominance and vascular dysregulation* From a quantum biology perspective, your light environment, your circadian rhythm, and the quality of structured water in your vascular system directly influence how your vessels function and how your cells produce energy* When you address these upstream drivers — as we did with Marcus — the blood pressure number takes care of itself5 Things You Can Do TodayThese are not theoretical. Start here.1. Get morning sunlight — today. Within 30 to 60 minutes of waking, get outside and get natural light in your eyes and on your skin for at least 10 to 20 minutes. No sunglasses. This sets your circadian clock, starts stimulating mitochondrial function, and triggers nitric oxide production in the skin. It costs nothing.2. Cut refined carbohydrates and added sugars for two weeks. Not forever — just try it. This single change drops fasting insulin in most people within days. Lower insulin means less sodium retention, less sympathetic nervous system activation, and lower blood pressure. No prescription required.3. Start magnesium supplementation. Magnesium glycinate or magnesium malate — 300 to 400 mg in the evening. This is one of the safest, most evidence-backed interventions for vascular health. It supports vessel relaxation, improves sleep quality, and aids mitochondrial energy production. Ask your practitioner about your specific dose.4. Treat sleep like a clinical intervention. Because it is. Target 7 to 9 hours. Create a dark, cool sleeping environment. Eliminate screens 60 to 90 minutes before bed. Blue light at night suppresses melatonin, disrupts circadian rhythm, and keeps your nervous system in sympathetic mode. If you have signs of sleep apnea — waking up tired, loud snoring, morning headaches — get tested. This is non-negotiable.5. Prioritize resistance training. 30 minutes, three to four times a week. Strength training improves insulin sensitivity, builds mitochondrial density, supports nitric oxide production, and reduces arterial stiffness. Muscle is metabolic medicine.Ready to Go Deeper?If you read this and thought “this sounds like me” — or you've been told your blood pressure is borderline and you're not sure what to do about it — the next step is a conversation.I offer a free 45-minute Metabolic Audit Call where we look at what's actually driving your numbers — your symptoms, your history, your labs — and map out the highest-leverage moves for your specific situation.Spots are limited each week.Until next time — Be well.

What happens if your career is no longer enough to protect your future? In this solo episode, Amy Sylvis reflects on a story about a highly experienced professional struggling to find work later in her career, using it as a starting point to discuss ageism, job security, and the growing importance of income diversification. As people live and work longer, relying on a single paycheck may no longer provide the financial security many once expected. Amy explores why building multiple income streams can reduce financial risk, shares the lessons that changed her own perspective after living with cystic fibrosis, and explains why investing, entrepreneurship, and cash-flowing assets have become an increasingly important part of her financial strategy. She also leaves listeners with a practical exercise to help them evaluate how dependent they are on a single source of income and begin building greater financial resilience.

Quick heads up before we start: this is not a brand new episode. If you are one of our Members you will have heard it in full about six weeks ago, when we released it as a Members' only Applied show. But we thought it was too interesting and relevant to stay behind the paywall, so we have cut it down into this shorter version and opened it up to everyone, partly because we want sports science to reach as many people as possible, and partly because it is a taste of exactly what supporters get every week, ad free, alongside our Discourse community! So join now and get it early, ad-free and with post-pod chats!The show was sparked by Gareth's admission that he paces his Zwift time trials by "trying not to die", which, as Ross points out, is already a sign the pacing has gone wrong. Pacing is not about reacting to fatigue once it arrives, but about managing effort now based on its future consequences. Using the analogy of a budget, we look at the two things it defends against, depletion of fuel like carbohydrate and creatine phosphate, and accumulation of heat, hydrogen ions, and other metabolites, and why good pacing is a skill that has to be learned.From there we get applied. Why has elite pacing become flatter over the generations, why can you never bank time in a long event when the 400 and 800 metres break that rule, and how should you actually pace a hilly time trial? Drawing on Remco Evenepoel's world title ride, we anchor everything to FTP, unpack the concept of W', your anaerobic battery, and show why the extra effort you should spend climbing or into a headwind is far smaller than instinct suggests.Whether you are chasing a marathon PB, a Zwift time trial, or simply trying not to blow up halfway, there are practical lessons here to get you to the finish faster. And if you enjoy it, this is only half of the full discussion. The complete version, plus a new Applied show every week, is waiting for you in the supporters club.LinksRoss' PhD was on the anticipatory regulation of performance. That is, pacing. This is the main summary article that came out of that PhD and related workThe physiological regulation of pacing strategy for performance. Another review article from Ross' PhD workThe Hazard Score, and how RPE interacts with distance remaining to regulate pace, as discussed on the podcastThe paper that analyses world records and shows the surprising finding that performances have been unlocked with faster starts and smaller endspurtsEntropy and positive pacing in the 800m. Nice accurate conclusion, the rest, we aren't so sure we understand! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
What does it mean not only to be forgiven by God, but welcomed into his family? In this episode of our Redemption Accomplished and Applied series, Nate Shannon is joined by Pastor Mark Sallade to explore John Murray's rich treatment of the doctrine of adoption. Together they discuss why adoption is a distinct benefit of redemption, how it differs from justification and regeneration, and why the Father's adoptive love provides believers with assurance, identity, and the unshakable confidence that they are forever God's beloved children.

It costs less than a coffee, or a gel.Show notesThe big story this week is another Tour de France anti-doping row, with race leaders Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard woken to give samples at 5am and 2am. But first, we discuss a forgettable World Cup final and a long overdue Mile world record(00:01:27) Spain beat Argentina to win the World Cup, in what Ross and Gareth reckon was the worst final in living memory. We discuss a game in which Argentina seemed intent on being regressive and aggressive, why the best player in the world was left stranded, the role fatigue and the extra day's rest may have played, and whether a solid tournament deserves better than a grudging seven out of ten.(00:16:14) Josh Kerr does exactly what he said he would and breaks Hicham El Guerrouj's 27 year old mile world record at the London Diamond League, running near-perfect 55 second laps on route to his 222. Point 66. We get into his near-perfect even pace, how wavelight technology has reduced the risk and unburdened the athlete to chase physiological limits, whether that cheapens anything, and why the 1500m record should surely be next.(00:35:23) The big story. Pogačar and Vingegaard were dope-tested at 5am and 2am on the morning of a mountain stage, and all hell broke loose. We explain why an 11pm to 6am block is normally sacrosanct and exempt from doping, but why allowances have to be made to test athletes within it on occasion. We the "serious and specific suspicion" exception that received judicial sign-off under French law, what that implies, and why we will probably never know. Vingegaard later crashed out with a broken collarbone, so we ask whether the two are linked, and the extent to which this is a wake-up call for cycling (and some of its fans), or just more of the same?(00:59:36) And finally, the Commonwealth Games open in Glasgow this weekend, pared back to ten sports and stuck behind a paywall. Did anyone notice? Has the world moved on? We say a fond, faintly baffled farewell.LinksSome stats from the one-sided World Cup FinalHow the Mile was won: Some analysis of Kerr's record, including the splits Gareth read outSome details on Josh Kerr's custom shoeRoss' brief thoughts on the early morning testing controversy on XMore detail on the exemption made, judicial approval and nature of suspicions (good), along with some speculation about Seixas and a call for transparency (silly)Vingegaard's team on the crash and possible reasons for it Hosted on Acast.
