Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the importance of maintaining muscle mass during weight loss, highlighting recent research on the benefits of krill oil. Leyla delves into various aspects of the study conducted by Glasgow University's School of Human Nutrition, which demonstrated that daily supplementation with krill oil helps minimize muscle loss despite significant weight loss. The episode covers study details, the impact of krill oil on inflammation, muscle maintenance, and the potential advantages of krill oil over traditional fish oil. Leyla also emphasizes the critical role of a balanced diet and strength training in preserving muscle mass during weight loss journeys.

Preeclampsia is one of those pregnancy conditions that gets mentioned often, explained poorly, and frequently dismissed until it suddenly isn't. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Dallas Reed to pull back the curtain on what preeclampsia actually is, how it shows up, and what expectant parents deserve to understand long before things feel urgent. Together, they break down the basics in a way that's clear and human, including how common preeclampsia really is, what symptoms to take seriously, and how to make sense of blood pressure readings and pregnancy-related hypertension diagnoses. Dr. Reed explains the differences between severe and non-severe preeclampsia, what monitoring can look like before and after 37 weeks, and why postpartum preeclampsia deserves more attention than it often gets. The conversation also explores prevention and management, including lifestyle considerations, aspirin use, and how care plans may differ depending on risk level, gestational age, and whether someone is being monitored inpatient or outpatient. A major focus of the episode is the future of personalized maternal care, including a deep dive into the Encompass test. This new RNA-based blood test, available between 18 and 22 weeks, helps identify pregnancies at higher risk for preeclampsia and pairs that insight with an evidence-based action plan and virtual support. Dr. Reed shares how this type of testing may change the way providers and families approach monitoring, communication, and early intervention, including potential benefits for out-of-hospital birth settings. This episode is grounded, evidence-based, and empowering, offering expectant parents tools, language, and understanding so they can participate confidently in their care rather than feeling blindsided by it.   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction to Preeclampsia 00:56 Welcome to The Birth Lounge Podcast 01:39 Features of The Birth Lounge App 03:00 Pregnancy and Postpartum Articles 04:54 Introduction to Today's Episode 07:47 Discussion with Dr. Dallas Reed 08:35 Understanding Preeclampsia 10:46 Symptoms and Diagnosis 18:56 Managing Blood Pressure During Pregnancy 22:37 Risk Factors and Prevention 31:59 Strategies to Prevent Preeclampsia 32:29 Healthy Lifestyle Recommendations 33:37 Monitoring and Follow-Up 35:05 Risks and Complications of Preeclampsia 37:05 Postpartum Preeclampsia 39:20 Managing Preeclampsia Before 37 Weeks 41:20 Inpatient Care and Medications 46:22 Understanding the Encompass Test 53:06 Benefits of the Encompass Test for Home Births 58:19 Final Thoughts and Resources   Guest Bio: Dr. Dallas Reed, practicing OBGYN, medical geneticist and advisor to Mirvie, a company delivering data-driven solutions for predictive and preventive care in pregnancy.

Ready to stop chasing every call and start running a business that serves your life? We dig into the mindset shifts and practical moves that help pool service pros say no to low-value work, set a four-day schedule, and price with real confidence. If you've ever wondered why your calendar is full but your bank account feels thin, this is the roadmap to flip that script.We start by reclaiming time. Once you're established, you can group stops, move misfit accounts, and even create a three-day weekend cadence that keeps you fresh. Then we get honest about pricing. Being the lowest bid doesn't build a future; it builds fatigue. You'll hear how to benchmark against your market, bid green pools without losing money, and align monthly rates with the true cost of service, travel, and expertise so every stop supports a healthy margin.From there, we turn taxes from a headache into an advantage. Mileage vs. actuals, tools and chemical deductions, software and phone expenses, even qualified vehicle write-offs—paired with quarterly tax planning to avoid penalties and stabilize cash flow. We also break down why pro-grade gear and a dependable truck are not splurges but force multipliers that save your body, speed your day, and elevate client trust. Finally, we map out what to do with profit: reinvest to buy partial routes or bring on a tech, or diversify into rentals, index funds, or other small businesses that add passive income. The aim is simple—turn today's hustle into tomorrow's freedom.If this conversation helps you think bigger about your route, your rates, and your future, follow the show, share it with a fellow pool pro, and leave a quick review to help others find it. Your next profitable decision might start here.• shifting from all yes to selective work• designing a four-day week with route changes• pricing for margin not just volume• tax benefits, deductions and quarterly payments• investing in better tools and trucks• turning profit into growth and passive income• options to scale with employees or diversifySend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Tactical Transition Tips Round 108 of the Transition Drill Podcast offers practical guidance and career readiness for veterans and first responders, organized based on how far out your exit is. In this episode, the systems in place to protect you require documentation and use before you're out.Benefits don't fail because they're weak. They fail because they sit there unused.In these careers, it's easy to treat “benefits” like paperwork you'll deal with later, once life slows down. But later is the trap. The system isn't going to chase you down and make sure you're set up. If you don't learn what you're entitled to, document what needs documenting, and use what's available while you still have access, you can end up paying out of pocket, delaying care, or walking into transition with avoidable problems on your back.This episode addresses benefits as protection, not perks. That includes medical documentation, but it also includes education options (like the GI Bill), financial and investing support, home buying programs, and even outside organizations that offer help for you and your family. The point isn't to become a benefits expert. It's to stop treating protection like background noise.Here are the three transition tips covered:Close Range Group (transitioning within a year): Get it on paper before you get outYou're running out of time for “I'll handle it later,” so this is about getting appointments, issues, and records documented now so you're not trying to prove things from memory after you're out.Medium Range Group (transitioning in 3 to 5 years): Fix it while you're still inYou've still got the advantage of structure and easier access, so you use this window to address real issues and use available resources before transition pressure makes everything harder to prioritize.Long Range Group (transitioning in a decade or more): The most important equipment maintenance is youThis is where you build habits and track patterns early so neglect doesn't become normal and small problems don't turn into long-term damage that follows you into any future transition.Get additional resources and join our newsletter via the link in the show notes.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10

Fast reps vs slow reps: which one builds strength without raising injury risk? In this final installment of the Principles of Exercise Design Series, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down one of the most misunderstood topics in training: speed of movement. They unpack what really matters when it comes to fast reps vs slow reps, why intent is more important than rushing the weight, and how smart tempo choices can improve strength without increasing injury risk. Tune in to hear how rethinking speed of movement can completely change the way you train. Amy and Dr. Fisher explain the mechanics of speed of movement in each phase of a lift. The concentric phase is when the muscle shortens and moves the weight away from the body. The eccentric phase is the controlled return, when the muscle lengthens as the weight comes back. Dr. Fisher explains why speed of movement is often misunderstood. Most people can't accurately tell how fast they're moving during normal exercises. That's why they rely more on tempo and control. Dr. Fisher reveals how isokinetic Exobotics devices measure exact distance and exact velocity throughout the lift.  Amy and Dr. Fisher explain why moving fast is not required to produce power. The body responds to effort and tension, not reckless speed. This is a key shift many people miss when training without a personal trainer. Dr. Fisher covers what the research really says about rep speed and muscle growth. Studies show no difference in hypertrophy whether reps are performed quickly or slowly. That finding challenges a lot of outdated gym myths. Dr. Fisher reveals why slower lifting can be the smarter option for most people. You still get the same strength, muscle, and health benefits. The difference is reduced stress on joints and connective tissue. Learn how resistance training supports overall health beyond just muscle size. Benefits like myokine release, metabolism, and energy expenditure occur regardless of rep speed. This reinforces why control matters more than rushing reps. Why resistance training should never increase injury risk. Amy emphasizes that exercise is meant to improve health, not compromise it. If training causes injury, it's moving in the wrong direction. Amy explains why exercise should always leave you more capable than before. Training should enhance function, not reduce it.  Dr. Fisher explains how speed of movement can vary depending on the exercise being performed. Different movements may call for different tempos to maintain tension.  Amy explains how personal trainers guide clients using clear tempo prescriptions. A coach can say four seconds up, six seconds down, and explain exactly why. That clarity improves safety, effectiveness, and motivation in strength training sessions.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

When I say the phrase "Healthy Goals for the Non-Athlete," I know it resonates with a lot of people—because even those who once were athletes don't always feel like one anymore. My husband played professional sports, and yet today, like many of us, he notices the shifts: sleep patterns change, flexibility isn't what it used to be, balance takes more intention, and there's a quiet awareness that time matters. This episode isn't about peak performance, six-packs, or training like an Olympian. It's about setting healthy, realistic goals for everyday life—especially if you're in mid-career, at halftime, or beyond. At this stage, healthy goals begin with a healthy mindset, and consistency matters far more than intensity. Today, Greg and I focus on three areas that truly support a strong next chapter: mental health, physical health, and social health.

The Benefits of Restoring Aquatic EcosystemsFor over a century, native salmon populations in California have been adversely impacted by human activities such as mining, dam building, and overfishing practices, often leading to the loss of critical habitat and  decreased genetic diversity. With additional environmental stress from climate change, such as rising surface temperatures and changes in freshwater temperature and flow, salmon populations have been quickly declining. In addition, dams trap salmon into the warmest parts of the watershed, where they are more vulnerable to predators and have decreased breeding area necessary for their survival. Salmon are an incredibly important marine species, often referred to as a keystone species, as they play an essential role in the health and function of an ecosystem. Not only are salmon ecologically beneficial through their ability to disperse nutrients throughout streams and rivers, but they are also culturally significant to Indigenous people. Indigenous culture has historic ties to salmon, including reliance on the species for sustenance and livelihood. As a result, indigenous tribes have a particular attachment to and concern for salmon, and issues such as diminished water quality and the burdens brought about by climate change have a deep resonance. In order to restore salmon populations, Indigenous groups and environmental activists have advocated for increased restoration of watersheds, the reopening and improving of ecologically important areas, and the removal of dams that block natural salmon spawning habitats.  Dam Removal as Solution to Climate ChangeAs climate change reduces water flows in California and increases temperatures beyond which salmon can tolerate, certain populations of salmon have become endangered species. Drastically reduced population levels have brought about a wave of concern, as their absence can disrupt nutrient cycling, reduce food availability, and negatively impact the livelihoods of people who depend on salmon for sustenance, income and cultural value. The “California Salmon Strategy” outlines actions for state agencies to stabilize and promote recovery of salmon populations. The plan envisions coordination among multiple state agencies, Tribal Nations, and federal agencies for implementation. In the late 19th century, treaties between Pacific Northwest tribes and federal agencies gave tribes the right to hunt, gather, and fish in “accustomed grounds” in exchange for land. However, by the mid-20th century, these agreements had largely been abandoned by the federal government, with states outlawing traditional methods of subsistence fishing. Coupled with increased development and resultant large-scale habitat loss, salmon populations have been on a steady decline. Tribal governments have long opposed the construction of dams in California, raising concerns of the devastating effects such construction has had on their way of life and the biodiversity of river ecosystems.Therefore, one solution has been the removal of dams to allow for continual, unobstructed streams of water for salmon to move freely through. Large dams built in the early 1900s block salmon's access to over 90% of historical spawning and rearing habitat in mountainous streams. The largest river restoration project is currently taking place on the Klamath River, located in Southern Oregon and Northern California, where dam removal is predicted to improve water quality and restore access to more than 420 miles of habitat. The lack of access to these cold waters for spawning was one of the primary reasons for the steady decline of California's salmon population. Studies project that the removal of the Klamath Dam will reduce the river's temperature by 2-4 degrees, which salmon prefer as cold water holds more oxygen, allowing for improved metabolism and the preservation of salmon quality, spurring new population growth.In addition to dam removal, the California Salmon Strategy proposes expanding habitat for spawning and protecting water flow and quality in key rivers. By fostering collaborative efforts, the State of California and Tribal Nations hope to successfully restore salmon spawning habitats and reintroduce salmon through traditional ecological knowledge.Benefits of Salmon RestorationSalmon restoration will help restore genetic diversity, improve habitat, and foster resilience. Beyond ecological benefits, restoring salmon habitats will benefit local communities and restore their cultural significance. The removal of dams like that on the Klamath River has already been a huge success in reopening former habitat that historically supported diverse salmon populations, with significant salmon spawning showing signs of a rejuvenation of this endangered species. Challenges of Restoring Salmon Unfortunately, salmon will continue to face the threat of climate change, particularly due to the lack of cold, readily available water. Salmon's migratory lifestyle patterns are also under threat from climate change, as a lack of cold water prevents survival at different stages of the life cycle in order to reach their spawning habitats in time. One major concern of the dam removal process is the short-term increase in turbidity and water quality problems during the removal process. There also could be the potential for disrupted habitats and short-term fish mortality due to the changing water quality dynamics. However, water quality problems usually pass after the initial slug of sediment moves downstream, allowing for long-term benefits to take hold.About our guestRegina Chichizola, Executive Director of Save California Salmon is a long-term advocate for tribal water rights, clean water, wild salmon, and environmental justice. Chichizola is an advocate for the restoration of salmon populations through strategies like dam removal and wetland restoration. ResourcesCalifornia Trout: Klamath Dams RemovalUS Fish and Wildlife Service: Why are dams getting removed and how will this change our rivers?USGS: Simulating Water Temperature of the Klamath River under Dam Removal and Climate Change ScenariosFurther ReadingAmerican Rivers: The Ecology of Dam Removal: A Summary of Benefits and ImpactsCalifornia Salmon Strategy for a Hotter, Drier Future: Restoring Aquatic Ecosystems in the Age of Climate ChangeKatherine Abbott et al: Incorporating climate change into restoration decisions: perspectives from dam removal practitionersNOAA Fisheries: River Temperatures and Survival of Endangered California Winter-Run Chinook Salmon in the 2021 DroughtScientific American: Climate Change Complicates the Whole Dam DebateUSGS: Shifting Practices of Dam Management and Dam Removal in a Changing WorldFor a transcript, please visit https://climatebreak.org/removing-dams-on-rivers-to-ensure-climate-resilience-for-salmon-with-regina-chichizola

Many of us were taught the idea that relationships are hard. But I have a secret for you. Relationships aren't hard. Keeping your ego in check and behaving kindly rather than harshly is the hard part. When two people prioritize each other, choose to engage and invest in the relationship, show up equally and honestly, and offer each other grace and kindness, relationships are easy. If you're looking for tools to learn how to do this, we've got you. Sione joins me in this podcast to talk about the tools we use and how we are creating an incredibly easy relationship.

In this episode, Molly explores one of the most emotionally charged moments in any behavior change journey: going off plan. Whether you're trying to drink less, eat healthier, or shift any long-standing habit, that moment of “I said I wouldn't, but I did” can feel like failure.But what if it's not?Molly shares how deeply rooted perfectionist narratives — especially around alcohol — make us believe that if we slip, we must be broken, or incapable of moderation. Drawing from neuroscience and psychology, she explains how our brains create conditioned responses and how off-plan drinking isn't a diagnosis, it's data.You'll learn why changing your relationship with alcohol (or any habit) doesn't require perfection — it requires compassion, curiosity, and a willingness to keep going. And you'll be introduced to the Off-Plan Plan, which is a tool  she teaches in her programs. What You'll LearnWhy culturally conditioned narratives frame abstinence as the “only” answerHow your lower brain creates automatic responses to stress and emotionThe science behind why intention alone doesn't drive behaviorWhat perfectionism is really about — and why it shuts down progressHow compassion and curiosity fuel lasting changeA powerful mindset reframe: Off-plan moments aren't failure — they're feedbackKey Quote from the Episode“Off-plan drinking is not a diagnosis. It's not proof that you can't do it. It's information. It's data. It's your brain telling you that something about that moment overwhelmed the tools you had available.”Weekly ReflectionWhen I drink off plan, what story do I immediately tell myself about who I am?And what would change if I treated that moment as information instead of evidence?Resources & MentionsSunnyside mindful drinking appPrevious episodes in the January arc:Fresh Start Effect (Jan 1)Mostly Dry is Enough (Jan 5)Neuroscience of Follow-Through (Jan 8)From Restraint to Reward (Jan 12)Identity Lag (Jan 15)Emotional Freedom (Jan 19)Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★
