PREVIEW; In this interview, historian James Tabor discusses his research into the historical identity of Jesus's biological father, as explored in his book The Lost Mary. He examines the ancient name Pantera, which appears in early texts and has been linked to both the family of Joseph and a specific Roman soldier stationed in Germany. By analyzing a nineteenth-century archaeological discovery of a tombstone belonging to a soldier from the Sidon region, Tabor investigates whether this individual could be the man mentioned in ancient traditions. While traditional scholarship identifies Josephas the father, Tabor uses archaeological evidence and linguistic clues to consider alternative possibilities. His work seeks to reconstruct the life of Mary by synthesizing fragmentary historical records and physical artifacts. This investigation highlights the complexities of tracing ancestral lineages through the intersection of biblical tradition and Roman military history. MORE TOMORROW, CHRISTMAS DAY. 1687
Within the last three months, we already discussed: a Chinese woman, from Wuhan of all places, who was smuggling in roundworms through the mail—while studying at a lab in Michigan; a couple, boyfriend and girlfriend (both Chinese nationals, also working at that Michigan lab) who were smuggling in a dangerous fungus—a type of deadly fungus that can target crops; and now, the FBI just arrested another Chinese national—this one studying for his doctorate at Indiana University—and he was allegedly smuggling plasmid DNA derived from E. coli bacteria from China hidden inside women's underwear. Let's go through the details of this new case together.

It's back! The mysterious fog is back for the second time in 2025. What would otherwise be natural atmospheric conditions of temperatures and moisture in the winter, like the natural Tule fog of California, has been transformed into a sinister conspiracy to do what nobody is quite sure exactly. Sure, there were military experiments using aerosols in California going back decades. But that's a lot different than fog with a strange smell. Perhaps it could be the fact that Los Angeles is the smoggiest and most polluted city in the United States consistently. In fact, it's actually one of the most polluted in the world. Several California cities from San Diego to Sacramento are actually on the list of most polluted in the United States. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Harold Shipman, once seen as a pillar of trust in his community, remains one of the most notorious serial killers in modern history. Over a period spanning more than two decades, he is believed to have murdered at least 215 patients, though some estimates suggest the total may have reached 250. Shipman used his position as a general practitioner to commit these crimes, exploiting the immense trust placed in him by patients, families, and colleagues alike. Central to uncovering the scale of his crimes was the rigorous application of biological evidence, particularly forensic toxicology and pathology, which ultimately exposed the patterns of murder he had meticulously concealed. This podcast explores the biology underpinning Shipman's detection and conviction, examining how science revealed the truth behind a doctor whose professional authority had become a tool for death.
This week, I welcome researchers Hana Milanov and Amelie Pahl on their work exploring entrepreneurship through the lens of first-time parents. The researchers interviewed founders who were already deeply identified with their "venture baby" before having a "biological baby," challenging the common narrative that parenthood diminishes career success. They discovered that instead of being a hindrance, parenthood can be a catalyst for positive change in a founder's business and their professional growth. The key finding revolves around two main strategies founders adopt: Founder Firewalling: Keeping the parental and founder roles separate to protect the founder's professional identity and commitment. This often drives professionalization, like delegating or hiring management, to maintain separation. Founder Fusing: Integrating the two roles by allowing the new values and behaviors learned as a parent (like empathy and patience) to redefine and enhance the founder's role. This often leads to a more flexible and human-centered workplace culture. The surprising takeaway? The decision to integrate or separate was not defined by gender but by the individual's approach, with roughly a 50/50 split between the two strategies in their study of high-impact founders.

BUFFALO, NY — December 19, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US on November 18, 2025, titled “Epigenetic age predicts depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging: importance of biological sex.” This study, led by Cindy K. Barha of the University of Calgary and the University of British Columbia, along with Teresa Liu-Ambrose of the University of British Columbia, found that older women with a younger biological age measured years before the COVID-19 pandemic experienced a greater increase in depressive symptoms during the early lockdown period. These findings could help shape future mental health strategies, particularly for women with high emotional or caregiving demands. Epigenetic age is a biological marker that reflects how the body is aging and may differ from a person's actual age. Using long-term data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), the researchers investigated whether epigenetic age could predict changes in mental health during a major public health crisis. The study included over 600 adults, with an average baseline age of 63, and used two widely accepted epigenetic clocks, the DNAmAge and the Hannum Age, to estimate biological age. Depressive symptoms were tracked at four time points between 2012 and 2020, including during the height of the pandemic. “The mean participant chronological age at study entry was 63±10 years (46% female).” The analysis showed that in women, a younger biological age predicted a greater rise in depression during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was not observed in men or in individuals with older biological ages. The study challenges the common belief that a younger biological age always signals better mental or physical resilience. The researchers suggest that women with younger biological profiles may have been more socially or professionally active before the pandemic. When lockdowns disrupted daily routines and social connections, these individuals may have experienced more emotional distress. Additional factors, such as reduced physical activity, loss of routine, and decreased social interaction, known to affect both mental health and biological aging, may have had a stronger emotional effect on this group. The findings highlight the importance of considering biological sex when studying how aging affects mental well-being during stressful events. Although the study has some limitations, including the time gap between biological age measurement and the pandemic, it gives valuable insights into how biological and social factors interact during periods of crisis. Future research could use epigenetic clocks to better identify individuals at greater risk of mental health challenges during large-scale public health emergencies. Overall, this study adds to the growing field of social epigenetics and suggests that biological age may support more targeted public health planning, especially for older adults.

BUFFALO, NY — December 16, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging-US on December 10, 2025, titled “Theobromine is associated with slower epigenetic ageing.” In this study, led by Ramy Saad from King's College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, alongside Jordana T. Bell from King's College London, researchers found that higher levels of theobromine, a natural compound found in cocoa, are associated with slower biological aging in humans. The findings suggest that theobromine may support healthy aging. Epigenetic aging refers to biological changes that affect how genes function over time. It is measured using blood-based markers such as DNA methylation and telomere length, which together provide a more accurate picture of aging than chronological age. In this work, researchers analyzed data from two large European studies. In 509 women from the TwinsUK cohort, they found that higher blood levels of theobromine were associated with slower aging, especially based on GrimAge, an epigenetic clock that predicts the risk of age-related disease and early death. The results were confirmed in 1,160 men and women from the German KORA study. “We initially tested for the association between six metabolites found in coffee and cocoa, and epigenetic measures of ageing in blood samples from 509 healthy females from the TwinsUK cohort (median age = 59.8, IQR = 12.81, BMI = 25.35).“ Importantly, theobromine's effects were independent of related compounds such as caffeine. Even after adjusting for these other substances and different lifestyle factors, the association with slower aging remained strong. The study also associated higher theobromine levels with longer telomeres, another marker of healthy aging. While theobromine is commonly found in cocoa and chocolate, the study does not suggest increasing chocolate intake. However, it highlights the potential of everyday dietary components such as theobromine to influence aging. These findings support growing evidence that certain plant-based compounds may play a role in promoting long-term health. By identifying a connection between theobromine and slower biological aging, the study opens new directions for research into nutritional strategies for healthy aging.

In today's solo episode, I dive into the profound connection between biological aging, health, and consciousness through the lens of my own DNA test journey. I recently took a gold-standard DNA-based aging test to measure my biological age, and the experience led to a personal breakthrough I'm excited to share. I won't spoil the results here, but let's just say I was initially nervous to peek at the numbers – and what I discovered gave me a whole new perspective on my wellness journey. Why mix health and spirituality? As someone who transitioned from the fitness industry to facilitating healing retreats, I've seen firsthand that our body and spirit are deeply intertwined. In this episode, I share openly how taking care of my physical health (from diet and gut health to sleep and exercise) has been crucial for my spiritual growth and even my ability to stay calm and centered. Our health truly is the foundation that supports higher consciousness and a regulated nervous system. I also reflect on some emotional and ancestral healing experiences that have shaped me. Over the years I've worked on releasing deep-seated traumas (some that felt generations old) and felt the energy shift in powerful ways. By healing these layers and calming my nervous system, I've noticed incredible changes – including what might be a slower biological aging pace. It's a reminder that inner transformation and outer health go hand in hand. In my usual transparent style, I share all of these insights openly. I even talk about the humbling moment when my ego showed up and how facing the truth turned out to be deeply healing. Thank you for joining me on this personal journey. If something here resonates with you, feel free to leave a comment sharing your thoughts or your own experiences – I'd genuinely love to hear from you.

This is a continuation of our conversation with Dr. Chris Cole. Please click here to listen to the Part 1 episode before starting this episode. In Part 2, we dive into biological integrity, resilience, and how living in alignment with nature can impact conflict intensity and shift perception through the GNM lens. We discuss nuance, neutrality, and why “healing” paths and conflict expressions look different for every individual. Chris explains the intersection of hands-on work and coaching, the role of intuitive inclination when choosing modalities, and the importance of avoiding rigid protocols or promised outcomes. We also explore belief systems, placebo dynamics, and how conviction can influence biological processes - even when the method itself isn't inherently causal. Chris shares some personal GNM symptom stories, including throat, bronchial, and nasal programs, as well as client cases involving back pain, childhood skin symptoms, and headaches. The episode closes with a discussion on constellations, understanding “bio-individuality,” and exploring how our conflicts subtly shape behavior, interests, and personality patterns.Find us on Instagram:Ashlee - @alchemywithashleeAbigail - @ajpuccioniOur personal websites:Ashlee - alchemywithashlee.comAbigail - abigailpuccioni.comWhere to find Dr. Chris Cole: Instagram - @dr.chriscoleSubstack - thelanguageofinnate.substack.com/
Biological resilience underpins healthy aging, and Anthony Molina, Ph.D., investigates how people resist, adapt to, and recover from age-related stressors. Molina defines three domains of resilience linked to aging and studies “life course” resilience using the Rancho Bernardo Study, a longitudinal cohort that starts in 1972 and tracks cognitive, sensory, physical function and comorbidities. His group analyzes trajectory scores from tasks such as the trail-making test and examines thousands of blood molecules to identify patterns that distinguish exceptionally resilient participants. Laboratory experiments show how age-related molecular profiles relate to mitochondrial function and ATP production. Molina's team also tests behavioral and nutritional interventions in rigorously designed clinical studies, combining molecular biomarkers of biological age with measures of physical performance, cognition, sensory abilities, and mental well-being.

Molina defines three domains of resilience linked to aging and studies “life course” resilience using the Rancho Bernardo Study, a longitudinal cohort that starts in 1972 and tracks cognitive, sensory, physical function and comorbidities. His group analyzes trajectory scores from tasks such as the trail-making test and examines thousands of blood molecules to identify patterns that distinguish exceptionally resilient participants. Laboratory experiments show how age-related molecular profiles relate to mitochondrial function and ATP production. Molina's team also tests behavioral and nutritional interventions in rigorously designed clinical studies, combining molecular biomarkers of biological age with measures of physical performance, cognition, sensory abilities, and mental well-being.

The modern West is in decline. Economic stagnation, rising tax burdens, moral disorientation, political corruption, bloated bureaucracies, and soaring levels of poverty, drug addiction and homelessness, all point to a faltering civilization. While many agree that the West is faltering, explanations as to why vary; some blame the collapse of religion and the loss of […] The post Why Weak People Create Hard Times – The Biological Decline of the West first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep and burning questions. There are two types of people in the world - the ones who shut down their laptop and the ones who never, ever, ever do unless it runs out of battery. Further on this path, are you the type of person who has an ‘order’ that you like your tabs to be in? Vibes and unsubscribes for the week: Laura - Christmas trivia Keeshia - @scotteeisfat Britt - Allison after NXIVM from Uncover Podcast Then we jump into your questions! IS TAKING FOOD HOME FROM A DINNER PARTY RUDE?I’d love your thoughts on something that happened at my annual Potluck-Style Movie Night and Dinner Party. I host this every year for 6–8 friends, and I usually provide homemade pizzas, drinks, and an appetiser. Everyone else brings a small dish or extra snacks for the movie. This year, one friend brought cheeses and crackers and told us to keep the leftovers—great! But at the end of the night, another couple (two of my closest friends) went into the fridge, took back the drinks they brought, and packed up the dessert they had made. Here’s the question: What’s the etiquette for a potluck-style dinner party? Is it rude to take home what you brought, or is that perfectly okay? For context, this couple is extremely wealthy—but maybe that doesn’t matter? I’d love to hear your take on this. Am I overthinking it, or is this a social faux pas. I WANT SOMETHING BACK FROM MY EXLadies, I am in a little pickle-dickle and would love your thoughts on the route forward. Now, for context, I am a solo Mama that has recently ended a 3 year relationship with a solo Dad. We both have children of ages sentient enough to feel a loss here, so this was a well-thought through decision on my part, based on repeated avoidant patterns and lack of communication. He did not take it well and proceeded to block all communication herein. No worries, his prerogative. My conundrum is that he has a few things of mine I would like back, including a brand new motorcycle helmet I know he was envious of and is likely now using for himself and my 8 y/o’s scooter. I cannot contact him at all as far as I understand. My daughter’s father, with whom I have an excellent relationship with, has offered to message him to collect it... However I feel that looks really petty and like I am pitting two burly dudes against each other so I politely declined. His wife also offered to reach out....again, I don’t feel great about asking someone else to do my dirty-work. What would you do? Snail mail? Show up unannounced (which I do not feel particularly safe about doing…so that is all but off the table), message one of his family members? Or cut my losses…even though I hate the fact he is very likely wearing my shiny-new helmet and giving his kids my daughter’s electric scooter. DO I BLOW UP MY LIFE? If you had a family that you didn’t know existed, would you want them to contact you? Genuinely, would you want your life as you know it to change forever or would you want it to remain as is? I’m grappling with this and want to hear as many perspectives as possible.

What if the real problem isn't your willpower, but your timing?Today we dive into a very practical exploration of how your brain shifts across the day, and how to design a life that cooperates with those shifts instead of fighting them. From the morning's high executive function to the evening's predictable crash, we unpack why your 9 a.m. self feels like a sharp CEO while your 9 p.m. self behaves like a tired intern, and how to use that predictability to your advantage. We break down the predictability principle and share accessible, battle-tested tools that remove decision friction when you're depleted. You'll hear how to apply “system over hope” in real life. Then we get strategic about the high points. Guard your mornings for high-friction work like writing, strategy, complex learning, difficult conversations, when focus and clarity peak. Shift afternoons to nudge tasks like email, scheduling, and admin, so your best hours serve your most important goals. We also show why coaches wire new habits to early slots for dramatically better odds, and how to run a simple audit: identify where you're pushing against your biology, realign tasks to your energy, and install one small system tonight to help your future self succeed. If you're ready to reduce regret, increase follow-through, and build kinder systems that work even when you're tired, this conversation is your playbook. Listen, try one tool today, and tell us: which habit are you moving to your morning slot?

Steve's body has endured many things over 35 years, but this week, it underwent a comprehensive test, which was carried out (for reasons which aren't completely clear) to determine his biological age. Whilst The Great Leader didn't explicitly sign off on this, he was content for the results to be delivered on the radio, to the nation. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Laura. Thank you.
Rebecca Park was twenty-two years old and thirty-eight weeks pregnant when she vanished from her biological mother's home in Boon Township, Michigan on November 3rd, 2025. For twenty-one days, volunteers searched the dense forests of Wexford County. Her biological mother Cortney Bartholomew gave interviews to local news, claiming a stranger in a black sedan had picked Rebecca up and driven away. Her fiancé pleaded for her safe return. Her sister said she hadn't been sleeping. Then, on November 25th, Rebecca's father — the man who had adopted and raised her — found her body in the Manistee National Forest while searching with volunteers. She was no longer pregnant. The baby was gone. What prosecutors allege happened is almost beyond comprehension. According to Wexford County Prosecutor Johanna Carey, Cortney Bartholomew and her husband Brad Bartholomew lured Rebecca to their home, forced her into a vehicle, drove her into the woods, stabbed her, forced her to the ground, and cut her baby from her body. Both Rebecca and her baby died. The prosecutor called it "evil personified" and said the couple had conducted research and created a plan before carrying out the attack. Cortney and Brad Bartholomew now face eight charges each, including first-degree murder, torture, and assault of a pregnant individual causing stillbirth. Both are being held without bond. Brad Bartholomew is a registered sex offender with prior convictions involving minors and is being charged as a habitual offender facing life in prison. Rebecca's fiancé Richard Falor and her sister Kimberly Park were also arrested on separate charges including drug distribution and lying to police. Neither has been charged with murder. The baby has not been found. The investigation continues. Rebecca Park deserved so much more than this. #RebeccaPark #TrueCrime #MichiganMurder #WexfordCounty #JusticeForRebecca #TrueCrime2025 #ColdCase #EvilPersonified Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Pantera Mystery: Historical Inquiry Into Jesus's Biological Father — James Tabor — Tabor investigates the name "Pantera," which appears linked to Jesus in early Jewish texts and on a Roman tombstone discovered in Germany. Tabor explores whether this historical name indicates that Jesus possessed a biological father—potentially a Roman soldier or Jewish relative—thereby challenging orthodox Christian theology regarding virgin birth through historical investigation into what Tabor characterizes as "Mary's secret." Tabor emphasizes that this historical hypothesis requires examination of textual evidence and archaeological artifacts traditionally excluded from theological discourse. 1687
James: True Successor and Leadership of Jerusalem Movement — James Tabor — Tabor argues that James, Jesus's biological brother, functioned as the authentic successor to the Jesus movement leadership, not Peter as traditionally claimed. Tabor cites non-canonical textual sources and the Acts of the Apostles demonstrating that Jamespresided over the Jerusalem Council, making determinations regarding Jewish law observance by Christian converts. Tabor emphasizes the profound familial bond between the brothers and documents Mary's presence with Jesus and James at the crucifixion scene, indicating James maintained centrality to Jesus's personal and theological circle. 1698
Hi friends! I'm SO excited to share this week's episode with biological dentist Dr. Toni Engram, and this one is truly eye-opening. We dive deep into the powerful connection between oral health, gut health, inflammation, and the rest of the body—and how what's happening in your mouth could be impacting your hormones, immune system, brain, and more. Dr. Toni shares her personal journey with Crohn's disease that completely changed her approach to dentistry and led her into the world of biological and functional dentistry. We talk about hidden dental infections, root canals, sealants, airway health, jaw development, cavitations, and what it really means to treat the root cause; not just the symptoms. If you've ever wondered whether your dental work could be affecting your overall health, or you're trying to take a more holistic approach to healing… this episode is a MUST-listen. Here's what we discuss: Dr. Toni's personal healing journey with Crohn's disease and how it reshaped her approach to dentistry The powerful connection between oral health, gut health, and systemic inflammation Why nutrition and prevention are the foundation of true oral health The real risks and considerations of root canals and informed consent Palate expanders, jaw growth, airway health, sleep, and child development Implants vs. bridges vs. doing nothing: what's best for overall health Simple daily habits for better oral and full body health (including tongue scraping!) And so. much. MORE! This episode will completely change how you think about dentistry, prevention, and the mouth-body connection.

About The Guest:Ron Morehead has been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. He is an author, researcher, lecturer, experiencer, and producer of the Sierra Sounds. To date, he comes closer than any other researcher to having a complete body of evidence. The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time-tested and accredited as genuine.Ron has documented his personal interactions with these giant beings and produced his story on a CD and also in a book, “Voices in the Wilderness.” In order to try and understand the enigmas associated with these giants, he began to delve into Quantum Physics for the scientific answers that he and his hunting friends experienced, and as a result he wrote another thought-provoking book,” The Quantum Bigfoot.” Ron now resides with his partner, Keri, in North Carolina, but has traveled from Alaska to Patagonia and from North America to Siberia in search of the truth to how these beings are able to stay so hidden from Classical science. Besides being the keynote Speaker at many conventions, he has been featured on countless radio programs and TV documentaries such as the Learning Channel and Travel Channel.WEBSITE: http://www.ronmorehead.com/
In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coaches Justin and Amanda discuss the recent controversy surrounding trans athlete Jamie Booker in the strongman competition. They explore the implications of biological differences in strength sports, the role of hormones, and the impact of performance-enhancing drugs. The conversation also delves into the integrity of competitions, the future of women's categories, and theological perspectives on gender identity. The hosts emphasize the importance of navigating conversations on gender with truth and love, while also addressing the destructive nature of living in sin. Takeaways Jamie Booker won the women's strongman title but was later disqualified. Biological differences between men and women significantly impact strength sports. Estrogen does not cause muscle wasting as commonly believed. The integrity of competitions is crucial for fair play. Future regulations may require chromosome testing for female competitors. Theological perspectives suggest that God created male and female intentionally. Living in sin can lead to destructive outcomes for individuals. Navigating gender identity conversations requires sensitivity and truth. Social environments can influence personal beliefs and identities. It's important to seek spiritual guidance rather than affirmation from social media.
What if aging wasn't something that simply “happens,” but a reflection of how well your cells are able to repair, restore, and keep you in balance? Today on Rooted in Wellness, I'm joined by Dr. Nichola Conlon, scientist and founder of Nuchido, to explore how NAD, cellular repair, and lifestyle shape the way we age from the inside out. We dive into what NAD actually does in the body, why it declines so quickly, and how stress, inflammation, and modern living accelerate that loss. We also explore biological versus chronological age, what the newest tests can actually tell us, and why certain trends, NAD IVs, high-dose NMN/NR, and supplement stacking, aren't always supportive. You'll hear grounded, practical habits that naturally activate your repair pathways, along with early clinical findings showing improvements in inflammation, sleep, and even biological age. Dr. Nichola Conlon is the founder and CEO of Nuchido, where she brings years of training in molecular biology and drug development to the world of accessible longevity. Her approach is deeply science-informed yet refreshingly balanced, focused on restoring the body's own repair systems so we can feel more clear, energized, and rooted as we age.

In this solo episode, Darin explores a radical idea backed by ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience: that awe — a single embodied moment of wonder — may be the fastest biological doorway to expanding consciousness. Drawing on cutting-edge research, timeless spiritual traditions, and personal stories, Darin reveals how awe reduces inflammation, rewires the brain, quiets the ego, boosts vagal tone, expands time perception, and reconnects us to meaning in a world drowning in distraction.
