mRNA vaccines are not supposed to contain DNA. But Dr. Jessica Rose says a new study tested “32 vials of Pfizer and Moderna COVID products that included 16 unique lots… We did not only find DNA, we found it in ALL lots tested and most importantly, the DNA levels were all above pre-designated EMA thresholds of 10 ng/dose.” “We measured the amount of DNA in the vials using 2 methods… (qPCR and fluorometry),” she continues. “It was submitted as evidence on the congressional record by the honorable Senator Ron Johnson.” JP Sears is a comedian, author, and YouTuber known for his satirical take on politics, fitness, and faith.

Jessica Sheldon (PhD) is on a mission to starve out Acinetobacter baumannii —one of the world's most virulent hospital-borne pathogens. Notorious for its speedy evolution and multi-drug resistance, the hospital-borne bacteria lingers on dry surfaces and infects critically-ill patients, leading to sepsis, pneumonia and high mortality rates. In this episode, Sheldon delves into the real-life events that drove her to investigate histamine, and its role in bacterial survival and immune response. In 2022, Sheldon joined the University of Saskatchewan's College of Medicine as an assistant professor of Biochemistry, Microbiology & Immunology -- something she now laughs about after an ill-fated high school placement in an immunology laboratory. “Cytokine cascades, pathways, the signaling just got way over my head real fast,” said Sheldon. “I didn't really know what I was doing.” Sheldon enrolled at Lakehead University, drawn to the tiny pathogens with outsized roles in movies like Outbreak. She estimates she read the book The Hot Zone 20 times. Her persistence paid off. “One of my second year microbiology teachers said, ‘you know, I think you're kind of good at this. Maybe you should try it as a career.' Sheldon zeroed in on metals and wrote her doctoral dissertation on the role iron plays in the proliferation of bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Today, she studies both Morganella morganii and Acinetobacter baumannii — the multi-drug-resistant bacteria singled out twice in the last decade by the World Health Organization as a ‘priority 1-critical pathogen'. “I'm perpetually fascinated by the idea that something so small can change the course of history,” said Sheldon. “And we've seen that recently with COVID.” Sheldon was already studying the metal uptake and signalling systems that grow and sustain A. baumannii when the bacteria ripped through hospitals during the pandemic, attacking Covid-infected patients on ventilators. By 2023, Sheldon landed a five-year CIHR grant of $900,000 to study A. Baumannii and the way it turns histidine into histamine. Her goal is to pinpoint the way the pathogen uses histamine to evade its host, as it sends out siderophores to steal iron and other nutrients. The compound appears to serve as a signalling mechanism for both the host and the invading pathogen, she said. “We know the bacteria are using histamine in the synthesis of these molecules to get iron, but they're also secreting it into the environment. We're not really sure why,” Sheldon said. Her laboratory is working to trace and target those pathways, so researchers can identify and potentially develop new treatments — small molecules or antibody inhibitors that could disrupt multi-drug resistant pathogens. Beyond A. baumannii, histamine may hold the key to how some of the world's most notorious bacteria grow, spread, and evade immune defences, Sheldon said. “We're running out of drugs, but there's really not a full appreciation for the fact that we're losing the ability to treat bacterial infections,” Sheldon said. “We need to develop supplementary therapies or alternative therapies.”

Muscle isn't just about strength or performance — it's metabolic armor. In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Andy Galpin sits down with hosts Victoria Field and Dr. Dominic D'Agostino to show how muscle, cardio fitness, and bone density work together to protect against decline and extend healthspan. From women's training and recovery practices to kids in the weight room, Dr. Galpin translates decades of research into practical strategies anyone can use.Big questions Dr. Galpin helps answer:How does muscle mass protect against metabolic decline and early mortality?What's the safest, most effective on-ramp to rebuild bone density and explosiveness after 40?When is fasted training useful for women, and when is it counterproductive?How early can kids start resistance training — and what should it look like?Which recovery practices are underrated (free) versus overrated (pricey)?Dr. Andy Galpin is a tenured full professor and human performance scientist with a PhD in Human Bioenergetics and an MS in Human Movement Sciences. He previously ran the Center for Sport Performance and the Biochemistry & Molecular Exercise Physiology Lab at Cal State Fullerton, and now serves as Executive Director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University.

This week we continue our fascinating conversation with biochemist, intelligent design advocate, and author Dr. Michael Behe, looking back over three decades since he first published Darwin's Black Box in 1996. On this episode, we will discuss some of the challenges facing origin of life research. From Michael's personal website: Michael Behe is Professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1978. Behe's current research involves delineation of design and natural selection in protein structures.In his career he has authored over 40 technical papers and two books, Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution and The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism, which argue that living system at the molecular level are best explained as being the result of deliberate intelligent design. The books have been reviewed by the New York Times, Nature, Philosophy of Science, Christianity Today, and many other periodicals. Darwin's Black Box has sold over 250,000 copies and was internationally reviewed in over one hundred publications. Both National Review and World magazine named it as one of the 100 most important books of the 20th century.Behe has presented and debated his work at major universities throughout North America and England.More about Darwin's Black BoxAudio Clips Featured in the Broadcast:Paul Davies: https://youtu.be/q4LnWlOKQFA?si=92PafZrUWecexarMRichard Dawkins: https://youtu.be/HJY5KKDrygI?si=kIyKZjIP26qsoGKBJerry Coyne: https://youtu.be/QOsNhQeUwk0?si=_BS67GjvyjItxeCVFree Resources from Watchman Fellowship Naturalism: https://www.watchman.org/Naturalism/ProfileNaturalism.pdfScientism: https://www.watchman.org/scientism/ProfileScientism.pdfPanpsychism: https://www.watchman.org/files/ProfilePanpsychism.pdfPostmodernism: https://www.watchman.org/files/ProfilePostmodernism.pdfAtheism: https://www.watchman.org/profiles/pdf/atheismprofile.pdfAdditional ResourcesFREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/FreePROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (around 700 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/NotebookSUPPORT: Help us create more content like this.

In this powerful episode we speak with Dr. Aimie Apigian—double board-certified physician and author of The Biology of Trauma. Together, they explore how trauma is stored not only in the mind, but also in the cells and biology of the body, affecting everything from mental health to chronic fatigue and even fertility. Dr. Aimie shares her transformative personal journey from allopathic medicine to trauma healing, and how unresolved stress patterns manifest as physical symptoms like brain fog, hormone imbalances, and autoimmune conditions.Whether you're struggling with health issues, infertility, or burnout—or you're a practitioner supporting others—this episode sheds light on how to recognize, repair, and restore your biology from the inside out using an integrative mind-body-somatic approach.Key Takeaways:Trauma is stored in the cells and nervous system, not just the mind—affecting your energy, mood, and health.Stress and trauma are different states: stress is high-energy survival; trauma is shut down when the body feels it can't cope.Morning fatigue, brain fog, and emotional reactivity are signs your body may be stuck in a trauma response.Somatic practices can shift biology quickly, often more effectively than supplements or traditional therapy.True resilience is adaptability—the ability to meet change with flexibility, not by shrinking or avoiding.Dr. Aimie Apigian Bio:Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, is a double board-certified physician in Preventive and Addiction Medicine with advanced degrees in Biochemistry and Public Health. She is the founder of The Mind-Body-Biology Institute and creator of The Biology of Trauma®, a pioneering framework that integrates medicine, neuroscience, and somatic therapies to address how trauma is stored in the body—and how to heal it. Inspired by her personal journey as a foster and adoptive mother, Dr. Aimie blends rigorous science with deep compassion to help individuals and practitioners achieve lasting transformation. Her book, The Biology of Trauma, reveals the cellular and emotional roots of fear, pain, and overwhelm, and offers a practical path to true mind-body-biology healing.Where to find Dr. Aimie Apigian:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/draimie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-aimie-apigianYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrAimieApigianWebsite: https://biologyoftrauma.com/Podcast: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/Book: https://book.biologyoftrauma.com/landing-page***** I am giving away my 5 Day Nervous System reset, a Masterclass on the book and the 1st three chapters of my book to those who pre-order the book now. *** How to connect to Lorne Brown online and in person (Vancouver, BC)

What does it really mean to be a professional in the pet care industry? In this episode, Jenn Dahinten, Chair of PACCC, joins to explore the importance of third-party certification in setting industry standards. She shares how PACCC was founded to support experienced pet care providers with recognition, ethics, and continuing education. The conversation dives into the rising pressure from legislation, public expectations, and why certification helps build trust with clients and lawmakers alike. Jenn also offers practical steps for those ready to elevate their professionalism. Main topics: Third-party certification vs. online courses Legislative pressure and industry regulation Career progression in pet care The role of ethics and continuing education How professionals can influence legislation Main takeaway: “There is a skill set, both taught and intuitive, that's required to provide care for a pet when their owner is away.”– Jenn Dahinten Too often, pet care is seen as simple or instinctual—just for “animal lovers.” But Jenn Dahinten reminds us that caring for someone else's pet isn't the same as caring for your own. It demands education, experience, and emotional intelligence. Certification through PACCC proves that you take your role seriously, and that you're committed to excellence in your profession. When pet parents leave their pets in our care, they deserve nothing less than a certified professional. About our guest: Jenn Dahinten became the owner, and operator of Royal Pets Hotel and Enrichment in 2009 and founded the charitable “Racers Fund”, for retired service dogs shortly after. Having been a pet parent and client of pet care facilities on four different continents she relished the opportunity to provide the kind of loving care, expertise, and professionalism that she always felt our fur family deserved. Before joining the pet care industry, Jenn first was a paramedic (human). Jenn studied Biochemistry at the University of Guelph, Ambulance and Emergency Care at Conestoga College, and then Advanced Life Support Paramedic (L3) at the University of Natal.

On the last two episodes of AP, we talked with Tricia Scribner about how theistic evolution impacts how we understand the God of the Bible. On the next two episodes, we will be following up with a conversation with biochemist Dr. Michael Behe, author of his widely popular 1996 book Darwin's Black Box. We will delve into the challenges molecular design and structure within living cells poses to traditional Neo-Darwinian concepts of evolution by means of natural selection and discuss how Dr. Behe believes intelligent design is the better scientific hypothesis. From Michael's personal website: Michael Behe is Professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1978. Behe's current research involves delineation of design and natural selection in protein structures.In his career he has authored over 40 technical papers and two books, Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution and The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism, which argue that living system at the molecular level are best explained as being the result of deliberate intelligent design. The books have been reviewed by the New York Times, Nature, Philosophy of Science, Christianity Today, and many other periodicals. Darwin's Black Box has sold over 250,000 copies and was internationally reviewed in over one hundred publications. Both National Review and World magazine named it as one of the 100 most important books of the 20th century.Behe has presented and debated his work at major universities throughout North America and England.More about Darwin's Black BoxAudio Clip of Kenneth Miller Featured in the Beginning: https://youtu.be/c_qNaCff7JY?si=bjypBWctbLTvlucZFree Resources from Watchman Fellowship Naturalism: https://www.watchman.org/Naturalism/ProfileNaturalism.pdfScientism: https://www.watchman.org/scientism/ProfileScientism.pdfPanpsychism: https://www.watchman.org/files/ProfilePanpsychism.pdfAtheism: https://www.watchman.org/profiles/pdf/atheismprofile.pdfAdditional ResourcesFREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/FreePROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (around 700 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/NotebookSUPPORT: Help us create more content like this.

On this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with Kat Burki to explore biochemistry as a smarter approach to skincare formulation. With a background spanning epidemiology and healthcare, Kat brings a unique lens to beauty: treating the skin as a living organ with its own complex needs.What makes her philosophy stand out is the insistence on synergy. Rather than chasing “hero ingredients,” Kat focuses on how ingredients interact—pairing vitamins, peptides, and cofactors in ways that mirror how the body naturally processes them. She emphasizes that delivery systems and supportive bases are just as important as what's in the formula. For Kat, skincare is about networks of ingredients working together, not isolated actives.Listeners will also hear her perspective on the skin's own microbiome, and why protecting its balance is critical to resilience and long-term health.From her cult-favorite Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream to her innovative focus on scalp health, Kat shares how biochemistry can transform not just product design but the way we think about skin itself. She leaves us with practical advice: read labels wisely, look for biome support, and always ask whether a formula makes biological sense. Tune in to discover how skincare can move beyond hype to real healing with Kat Burki.To learn more about Kat Burki, visit her website and social media.
