Kelly McGonigal breaks down the exact instinct your brain triggers when you're tempted to abandon your goals. Not fight or flight. Something called pause and plan. It slows your heart rate. Sharpens your focus. Pulls up the parts of your brain that remember what actually matters to you. Then she gets personal. Every major decision in her life has come with the same nagging question: am I adequate to this moment? Her answer isn't to silence the doubt. It's to ask a different question instead. What's the best possible outcome if this works out, and who might be better off because she took the risk? That shift is the difference between staying stuck and stepping forward anyway.

You say "Friday news dump" like it's a bad thing? Not when it's David Waldman and KITM! When Donald K. Trump isn't grifting money, extorting money or panhandling for money, he's stiffing people for money. You can't buy that sort of focused dedication. Todd Blanche could be attorney general today if he'd only pinky promise to never ever implement Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund/slop trough for fellow right-wing swine. At least the slush fund pretended to be a cap. AI companies are the central pillar of the economy, but they are trying to hide a staggering amount of debt. So, when one of their super-genius wunderbros dropped his $45 billion into the toilet, his toilet got immediately bailed out by his AI billionaire brethren. Bailing out their Titanic one stateroom at a time at the moment remains a brilliant idea. I In an idiocracy, not everyone needs to be an idiot, just the ones in control. The United States government map of Africa on display at a global conference was apparently designed without reference material not supplied by Toto. Trump busted Tina Peters out of the pen, she's already paying him back. Biological warfare enters Trump's war with Iran, as usual it's a self-own.

Biological War: A Scenario with Annie Jacobsen Today we're joined by bestselling author and investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen to discuss her brand-new book, Biological War: A Scenario. Annie is the author of Area 51, Operation Paperclip, The Pentagon's Brain, Surprise, Kill, Vanish, and one of our favorites, Nuclear War: A Scenario. In this episode, we talk with Annie about why she moved from nuclear war to biological war, how a biological attack could unfold, and why the pathogen itself may only be part of the disaster. We get into public distrust after Covid, how misinformation and panic could make a biological event far worse, and how quickly a crisis like this could overwhelm institutions, hospitals, government response, and normal civilian life. We also discuss how biological war could spiral into military escalation or even nuclear conflict, what continuity-of-government plans and martial law might look like, and how regular people can think about preparedness without living in fear. This is a heavy one, but it's an important conversation about one of the most unsettling threats facing the modern world. In This Episode Why Annie wrote Biological War after Nuclear War: A Scenario The basic scenario behind the new book Why public trust may be one of the biggest survival factors How Covid changed the way people respond to public health warnings Biological weapons, engineered pathogens, and institutional failure How misinformation, rumors, and panic could accelerate collapse Why a biological event could lead to military escalation How a pathogen crisis could potentially trigger nuclear decisions Continuity of government, martial law, and emergency powers What regular people should do with terrifying information like this How to take biological threats seriously without becoming consumed by fear Sponsors BattlBox Get solid outdoor, survival, EDC, and adventure gear delivered monthly.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses the complexities of land management and hunting strategies. He shares insights from a recent master class, emphasizing the importance of understanding property design and management. The conversation transitions into soil management, nutrient balancing, and the benefits of seed treatments for better germination and plant health. The episode concludes with a discussion on breaking down residual materials to enhance soil health and nutrient availability. In this conversation, the Brad Harper and Jon Teater delve into the importance of enhancing soil biology for improved crop growth, effective management of switchgrass stands, and the significance of live biology in soil health. They also discuss the benefits of foliar applications for plant health, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to agriculture that prioritizes both plant and soil health. Takeaways The involvement required to optimize a property is complex. Master classes can provide eye-opening insights into property management. A strong connection with your land enhances the management experience. Soil samples are valuable for determining nutrient needs. Seed treatments can significantly improve germination and plant health. Liquid biology seed treatments can enhance nutrient availability. Balancing soil nutrients can reduce costs and improve yields. Breaking down thatch layers is crucial for soil health. Biological products can speed up the decomposition of organic matter. Understanding soil biology is essential for effective land management. Adding decomposers can significantly speed up nutrient availability. Proper management of switchgrass is crucial for healthy stands. Live biology in soil can enhance crop growth and health. Foliar applications can provide nutrients directly to plants. Soil health is a slow process that requires consistent effort. Feeding existing soil biology can improve overall soil health. Using live bacteria can temporarily boost soil populations. Foliar feeding is effective regardless of soil conditions. Reducing reliance on traditional fertilizers can be beneficial. Understanding the source of soil products is essential for success.

Cognition is a strange word and not a very commonly used word by practicing educators.  It feels academic and detached from the act of a group of young people learning in the world. But when you look at the dictionary definition of cognition – the "mental action or process of acquiring, storing, retrieving, and processing knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses" – this seems pretty fundamental to what we do as educators. But what if our understanding of what it means has been heavily biased by the Western modern scientific paradigm? For example, in the difference between learning the world and learning about the world via the linguistic labels and symbols that we create to represent aspects of it. My guest this week Jinan KB is offering a radically different description of what natural cognition or the biological roots of cognition actually are.  I absolutely love these kinds of conversations as they challenge me right at the edge of my understanding given my own conditioning into particular ways of knowing about the world. It also feels like a really alive part of what we're being asked to do now more broadly, to explore more generously and expansively the space of what is possible in order to think differently about the educational and societal predicaments in which we find ourselves.Jinan is a researcher of natural cognition, cognitive autonomy, and the biological foundations of knowing. His work began with a simple but unsettling question: How do human beings naturally create knowledge? In 1991, Jinan stopped reading in order to investigate this question directly. For over four decades, he has explored this question through lived engagement with children, non-literate artisans, indigenous communities, design education, and everyday life. He is the author of Awakening Beauty and works with parents, educators, designers, researchers, and communities interested in recovering the conditions that allow human intelligence to flourish naturally.Website: https://www.jinankb.in/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jinan-kb-5386676/ Impact of literacy on consequence: https://youtu.be/WG9uJN-UoSc?si=0sMtaGuwLe4sn9Py How do Children Create knowledge?

How do female ultra-endurance athletes experience, interpret, and cope with pain—and when does pushing through become too much?Erin Ayala, PhD, speaks with sport psychology researcher Dr. Britta Maria Sorensen about the complex role pain plays in women's ultra-endurance sport.Dr. Sorensen explains why pain is more than a physical sensation. Biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors can all influence how athletes interpret discomfort, respond to it, and decide whether to continue or stop.They also explore the relationship between endurance sport, emotional stress, and past trauma; the difference between harmonious and obsessive passion; and how athletes can recognize when training is supporting their well-being versus becoming a form of avoidance.This conversation offers practical strategies for managing pain, reducing burnout risk, and building a healthier, more sustainable relationship with performance.In this episode:Why pain should be understood through a biopsychosocial lensWhat qualitative research reveals about how women cope with extreme discomfortHow past trauma and emotional stress may shape participation in ultra-endurance sportThe difference between using sport as a healthy outlet and using it as avoidancePractical tools such as body scans, progressive self-talk, fueling, hydration, and properly fitted gearWhy scheduled rest and recovery can help prevent compulsive training patternsHow coaches, therapists, partners, and support systems can help athletes stay balancedSubscribe so you never miss an episode, and share this conversation with an athlete, coach, or practitioner interested in pain, performance, and long-term well-being.Dr. Sorenson's Open Access Research ArticleJoin us at Feisty Fest - September 18-20th, 2026: https://www.wetravel.com/trips/feistyfest-feisty-media-1943243299#about-this-tripSign up to Receive The Feisty Women's Performance Newsletter:https://feisty.co/newsletters/feisty-womens-performance/Follow us on Instagram:@feisty_womens_performanceVisit the Feisty website at https://feisty.co/ for info on all of our events and podcastsSupport our Partners:Momentous: Head to https://www.livemomentous.com/ and use promo code PERFORMANCE for up to 35% off your first orderWahoo: Learn more about Wahoo Fitness Products at: https://wahoofitness.pxf.io/0GAByRTifosi Optics: Use code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://tifosioptics.com/Hettas: Use code STAYFEISTY for 20% off at https://hettas.com/ Orca: Use the code FEISTY15 for 15% off at https://orca.avln.me/c/HzUkzIfxsmYo

Andrea Samadi shares a five-year self-experiment using a WHOOP wearable to track sleep, recovery, movement, and biological age. She reveals how daily low-intensity movement and consistent recovery—not one intense workout—produced lasting improvements in heart rate, recovery scores, and biological age. Andrea distills five lessons: movement prepares the brain, consistency beats intensity, recovery is where adaptation happens, small habits compound over time, and every step is an investment in your future brain. Practical takeaways include walking daily, adding 2–3 strength sessions per week, protecting sleep, and tracking trends instead of perfection. In this Bonus Episode you'll learn: Why recovery matters more than you think. What 1,905 recoveries taught me about human performance. Why consistency beats intensity. How movement changes the brain. How to create lasting biological adaptation. Why every walk is an investment in your future brain. EPISODE BONUS Move Today. Recover Tonight. Younger Tomorrow. Five Years. 1,905 Recoveries. One Lesson That Changed Everything. Welcome Back Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi. Over the past seven years, I've had the privilege of interviewing many of the world's leading experts in neuroscience, psychology, learning, leadership, health, and human performance. Throughout Season 16, we've been connecting those conversations into a simple framework I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a practical way of understanding how the brain and body work together to help us learn better, think more clearly, live healthier, and perform at our highest potential. In Episode 402[i], we introduced The Movement Loop, built around one simple idea: Movement is the input. Adaptation is the process. Performance is the outcome. Then, in Episode 403[ii], Dr. Chuck Hillman helped us understand why movement changes the brain. Every step increases blood flow. Exercise stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—BDNF—often called fertilizer for the brain. Movement strengthens the neural networks responsible for learning, memory, attention, and executive function. But after recording those episodes, I found myself asking a different question. What happens when we apply those principles consistently—not for days, weeks, or even months—but for years? Today's bonus episode is my attempt to answer that question. Not from another research study. Not from another interview. And definitely not to give you one more thing to add to your already busy schedule. Instead... I'd like to share a five-year experiment I never realized I was conducting—one that completely changed the way I think about health, movement, recovery, and human performance. Five Years Looking for the Answer When I started wearing a WHOOP device back in April of 2021, just before my fiftieth birthday, I thought I was buying a fitness tracker. I thought it would help me train harder. I thought it would reward intensity. Instead... It spent the next five years teaching me something far more valuable. How to recover. Over those five years I've tracked nearly everything I could measure. Sleep. Movement. Recovery. Resting heart rate. Heart rate variability. VO₂ Max. Biological age. Blood work. Thousands of workouts. And more than 1,905 recoveries. Nearly two thousand mornings of waking up and asking my body the same question. How well did I recover? At first, I didn't really know what I was looking for. I simply assumed the harder I trained... the healthier I'd become. The Mystery Then WHOOP introduced a new metric. WHOOP Age. The first time I looked at it, I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing. My biological age measured 48.7 years old. I was fifty-five. More than six years younger biologically than chronologically. Of course, my first question wasn't, "That's great." My first question was... Why? What was I doing that created this result? Naturally, I assumed it was my hardest hikes. My toughest strength workouts. The mornings I pushed myself until I was completely exhausted. But that's not what the data showed. Not even close. The biggest contributor wasn't intensity. It was consistency. Daily walks. Steady hikes. Hours spent moving in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. The very workouts I used to think "didn't count." Ironically, even today, after finishing a workout, I still catch myself hoping to see more time in Zone 4 or Zone 5. Old beliefs don't disappear overnight. Part of me still believes harder must be better. But five years of data kept telling me a different story. A Belief I Had to Unlearn For most of my life, I believed exercise was supposed to leave me exhausted. If I wasn't completely out of breath... If I wasn't drenched in sweat... If I wasn't barely able to walk back to my car... I assumed I hadn't worked hard enough. Maybe you've felt that way too. We grew up hearing... "No pain, no gain." But neuroscience—and my own data—kept challenging that belief. The movement that felt the easiest... was quietly producing the greatest return. Daily walks. Easy hikes with friends. Walking my dogs along the canal. Consistent aerobic movement. Those weren't "easy days." Those were adaptation days. And slowly, my definition of success began to change. The Moment Everything Changed A few days ago something happened. After nearly five years... and more than 1,905 recoveries... I recorded my highest recovery ever. 98%. For a few moments I celebrated the score. Then something much more meaningful hit me. That number wasn't created overnight. It wasn't the result of one perfect night's sleep. Or one incredible workout. Or one supplement. Or one recovery tool. It represented five years of learning to work with my biology instead of against it. That's when everything finally clicked. Recovery isn't passive. Recovery is where adaptation happens. It's where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where hormones rebalance. It's where your cardiovascular system grows stronger. It's where yesterday's movement becomes tomorrow's performance. Movement starts the conversation. Recovery is where your body answers.   The Missing Piece That's when I realized something I wish someone had explained to me years ago. Movement isn't the goal. Recovery isn't even the goal. Adaptation is the goal. Movement is simply the signal that tells your biology... "Build something stronger." Recovery is when your body actually does the work. Adaptation is the result. Performance becomes the evidence. That is The Movement Loop. Move. Recover. Adapt. Perform. One connected system.   What My Data Shows When I stopped looking at individual workouts and started looking at years of trends, the story became remarkably clear. My resting heart rate dropped. My recovery improved. My biological age became younger. My weekly movement consistently averaged more than seven hours in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. None of those changes happened because of one extraordinary workout. They happened because of thousands of ordinary choices repeated over and over again. That's how biology changes. Quietly. Consistently. Patiently. Five Lessons Five Years and 1,905 Recoveries Taught Me Looking back over nearly five years—and more than 1,905 recoveries—I realize I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching my brain and body adapt in real time. Here are the five lessons I wish I had understood when I first started this journey. Lesson 1: Movement prepares the brain. One of the biggest insights from Dr. Chuck Hillman's research is that movement doesn't just strengthen our muscles—it prepares our brains to learn and perform. Every walk increases blood flow. Every hike stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, helping the brain build and strengthen neural connections. I've noticed this in my own life. On the days I move first, I think more clearly, focus longer, solve problems more easily, and simply show up as a better version of myself. Movement isn't something I do after work anymore. It's how I prepare for my work. Lesson 2: Consistency beats intensity. For years, I believed the hardest workout was the best workout. My data taught me something completely different. The biggest improvements in my health didn't come from one exhausting hike or one intense strength session. They came from showing up every single day. Walking the canal. Taking the dogs out. Choosing another easy hike. Stopping to talk with people on the trails. It took me years to ask one person their name, after seeing them on the trails for over 10 years! Repeating those small decisions (and actions) over and over again. The body doesn't transform because we occasionally do something extraordinary. It transforms because we consistently do the ordinary. Lesson 3: Recovery is where adaptation happens. This may have been the biggest surprise of all. For years, I thought recovery meant taking a break from making progress. Now I understand that recovery is the progress. Recovery is where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where your body responds to the signal that movement created. Without recovery, movement is simply stress. With recovery, movement becomes adaptation. Lesson 4: Small daily habits create extraordinary results. When I recorded my highest recovery ever—98%—(just this week) I realized something important. That number wasn't created by one perfect night of sleep. It wasn't one workout. It wasn't one supplement. It wasn't one infrared sauna session. It represented thousands of small decisions repeated consistently over five years. Morning sunlight. Walking. Strength training. Prioritizing sleep. Breathwork. Meditation. Recovery. None of those habits seem remarkable on their own. Together, they completely changed my biology. And then I was able to create PREDICTABLE results with recovery, once I fully understood it. Lesson 5: Every step is an investment in your future brain. This may be the most important lesson of all. Most of us exercise because we want to look better or feel better today. But neuroscience tells us something even more powerful. Every walk you're taking today is helping build the brain you'll rely on years from now. Every time you move, you're strengthening the systems that support attention, memory, emotional regulation, cardiovascular health, and resilience. You may not notice those changes tomorrow. I certainly didn't. It took me nearly five years—and 1,905 recoveries—to truly appreciate what my body had been quietly building all along. That's why I no longer think of movement as exercise. I think of it as one of the greatest investments I can make in my future health, my future brain, and the quality of my life. Because every step you take today is a vote for the person you're becoming tomorrow.   Practical Application If you're wondering where to start... Start walking. Walk before work. Walk after dinner. Walk with your family. Walk with your dog. Strength train two or three times each week. It doesn't take a lot to see noticeable gains. Protect your sleep. Track trends instead of chasing perfection. Then tomorrow morning ask yourself one simple question. Not... "How hard should I train today?" Instead... How can I move today? One question. One decision. Repeated consistently. That's how change begins. Review and Conclusion As we wrap up this bonus episode, let's step back and look at what we've learned throughout this first part of Phase 3. Movement prepares the brain. Recovery builds the body. Adaptation changes our biology. Performance becomes the evidence. Five years ago, I thought movement was the goal. Today I know better. Movement is the signal. Recovery is the builder. Adaptation is the transformation (that we can see) Performance is the evidence (or what we were aiming for in the first place). After nearly 1,905 recoveries, I finally understand why recovery matters. Not because it helps us rest. Because it helps us become. Looking back, I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching neuroscience unfold in real time. The greatest improvements in my health didn't come from my hardest workouts. They came from thousands of ordinary decisions repeated consistently over time. We can go back to our early episodes[iii] to hear the importance of repetition. That's how human performance is built. Not through one breakthrough moment. But through daily choices that quietly reshape the brain, strengthen the body, and prepare us for whatever comes next. So wherever you're listening today... Whether you're heading out for a walk... Driving home from work... Finishing a workout... Or simply deciding how you'll move tomorrow... Remember this. Every step is a vote for your future self. Move today. Recover tonight. Adapt tomorrow. Live younger tomorrow. Until next time... Keep moving. Keep learning. Keep adapting. Because every step you take today is helping build a healthier, stronger, and more resilient version of yourself tomorrow.   REFERENCES:   [i]  Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 402 “Phase 3 Intro: How Movement Builds the Brain https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-loop-how-everyday-action-rewires-your-brain-and-boosts-performance/   [ii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 403 “How movement Activates the Brain and Learning”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-first-how-a-20%e2%80%91minute-walk-lights-up-the-brain/   [iii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 38 https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/assistant-coach-to-the-winnipeg-jets-todd-woodcroft-on-the-daily-grind-in-the-nhl/  

History is littered with examples where citizens were told, 'That would never happen here,' only to discover years later that it had. MKUltra. Tuskegee. COINTELPRO. Secret radiation experiments. Biological testing in American cities. Those episodes don't prove every modern suspicion is correct. But they do establish a simple principle: governments are capable of secrecy, deception, and ethically troubling actions when officials believe the stakes justify them. Just recently, newly declassified testimony from Sidney Gottlieb, the man who ran MKUltra, added even more detail to what really happened. Perhaps the most remarkable admission? After years of experimentation, Gottlieb himself concluded the program was 'probably not a high pay-off program.' In other words, countless lives were disrupted in pursuit of results that often failed to materialize.  Joining us today is Dr. Juliette Engle.  Dr. Juliette Engel tells her own story of her life as a girl-child born into a family of intelligence operatives. In 1955 at the age of six, she was sold by her father into the CIA's secret Monarch MK Ultra program. At age ten, she was selected for Sex Magick because she was tall, smart, and pretty. Throughout childhood, she was subjected to physical and mental torture including sexual abuse in the process of creating multiple identities. As a teenager, she was trained in the art of seduction, physics, ariosophy, cybernetics and genocide at the Stanford Research Institute and Hoover Institution in preparation for life undercover in Russia.  At the age of seventeen, she escaped and lived as a free person through the University of Washington undergrad and medical school becoming a physician, marrying and having a family without any memory of her childhood. In 1990, she sold her medical practice in Bellevue, Washington and moved to Moscow to found the Angel Coalition, an underground railroad that rescued and repatriated thousands of trafficking victims, mostly children. Dr. Engel's story will break your heart, but also shows the incredible resilience of the human spirit, and how personal faith and God's grace can pull us through any test of emotional or physical strength. Dr. Engel is an accomplished: writer, podcaster and lecturer, having formed an organization called Angels Over America in an attempt to make Americans aware of the millions of missing children and the evils of Human Trafficking throughout the United States and the rest of the world. Her courage in stepping forward and speaking out about her experiences has helped to expose the links between the US government, MK Ultra and human trafficking worldwide without any memory of herwww.julietteengel.com/ Dr. Engle is a physician, author, humanitarian, and has publicly spoken for years about her experiences related to MKUltra. She later founded The Angel Coalition, an organization focused on rescuing victims of human trafficking, and today continues speaking about intelligence operations, trafficking, and government accountability.  Dr. Engle, welcome."

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.In the world's most dangerous working environments it can seem like everything is out to kill you. The equipment you use. The materials you work with. The very air you breathe. Stored energy is a coiled viper waiting for the right moment to lash out. Owners, manufacturers, contractors, and beyond have developed safety protocols to combat STCKY, that is, Stuff That Can Kill You. Gravity, Motion, Mechanical, Electrical, Pressure, Sound, Radiation, Biological, Chemical, Temperature. This season is all about the means of murder as authors put our STCKY detective skills to the test. This is Season 9, Stuff That Can Kill You.This is Episode 14, where heat, pressure, chemical, and mechanical are our STCKY means of death. This is The Rendering of Truth by Chuck BrownmanDELIBERATIONAlone, neither Lena nor Mercer have what it takes to crack the case. But together, and with our help, we can figure out what happened to Eddie Weller and Dale Curtis. Here's the suspect list, in the order we met them:Junior Lattimore, rendering techJohn Reese, plant managerTanya Lowell, accounting clerk and office mateFrank Jackson, rendering foremanDale Curtis, plant foremanHere are the facts that Lena and Mercer have uncovered:• Eddie Weller, newly promoted to Operations Reviewer, went into the rendering pit. The pit was activated and Eddie died from a lethal combination of heat, oxygen deprivation, and mechanical grinding.Eddie was formerly an operating tech and, in his new role, signed off on the maintenance documentation. He knew the paperwork or safety protections he knew was needed to enter the confined space.No one offered an explanation of why Eddie would have entered the pit.Junior Lattimore did not look into the pit before he turned it on. He had no reason to think anyone was in it.A search of Eddie's desk found evidence of falsified invoices for filters. The invoices were signed by Reese. He added a note to check with DC, interpreted as Dale Curtis.Tanya prepares the invoices for Reese's signature. She said he directed her to process the invoices for his approval, saying they were a rush job from a new vendor.Reese said he signs the invoices Tanya prepares, implying he did not scrutinize or even read the documents.A torn piece of bank statement found in the trash in the office Eddie and Tanya shared had a sizable balance but no nameCurtis later heard Eddie in his office talking to someone about stealing, but couldn't see who as the door was closed.Mercer recognized Steam Line #4 was tampered with. The line then failed catastrophically killing Dale Curtis. He was found with a pipe wrench in the vicinity.A drawing of the plant found in Eddie's apartment also highlighted Steam Line #4 as out of compliance on maintenance inspection.Lena and Mercer speculate the person or persons behind the “accidents” had to have an understanding of the plant to orchestrate both deaths.Tanya had knowledge and access to the invoice, but does not have knowledge of the plant. Tanya and Eddie shared an office and were friends. Eddie spent time with her son.Junior had knowledge of the rendering area, but did not have access to accounting. Junior lost out on the promotion to Eddie and was bitter.Junior had no apparent problem with Dale Curtis.Jackson had knowledge of the rendering area. Recently separated, he and Tanya were dating. He often when to her office, and even helped straighten Tanya's desk for her. He was there in the office when Eddie died.Reese claims his knowledge of the plant isn't detailed. He signed off on plant expenditures.Whose greed was paid for with the lives of Eddie Weller and Dale Curtis?MEMBERSHIPS!Mysteries to Die For now has memberships!

Sheldon proposes creating a night-light by inserting glowing jellyfish DNA into a fish—but is that science fiction or real genetic engineering? In this episode, we explore fluorescent proteins, genetically modified animals, and the surprising history of fish that really do glow. The science behind Sheldon's strange idea helped transform biological research, although it probably would not illuminate your bedroom.

It's time for Kim on a Whim, and this one is a doozy. Congresswoman Mary Miller grills UCSF Chancellor Sam Hawgood at a House hearing on DEI in medical schools, and the exchange is stunning — a medical doctor who can't confirm that dudes cannot get pregnant. Kim breaks down how UCLA is right there with them, training OBGYN students to avoid assuming a patients gender identity. This is the woke Rubicon academia has crossed, and it should terrify anyone shopping for a new doctor. Plus, a fired restaurant worker who refused to use a coworkers made-up name goes viral, and Kim wants to know if he's got a lawsuit coming. Basic biology and common sense — that's what The Marc Cox Morning Show brings you every single day.

Leadership on the Links Summit  Join us at the Leadership on the Links Summit on October 12, 2026 at Toftrees Golf Resort in State College, Pennsylvania. This one-day gathering brings together superintendents, directors of agronomy, club executives, and industry leaders for a day focused on personal branding, leadership development, and building high performing teams. Register here: https://bloomgolfpartners.com/our-events/ ------ In this episode of Leadership on the Links, we explore the science and philosophy of biological soil management with Joel Simmons, Founder and President of EarthWorks Natural Organic Products. Joel shares his journey from Penn State county extension agent to co-founding EarthWorks with the late Jerry Brunetti in 1988, pioneering a carbon based approach to soil health that was once dismissed by academics and is now standard practice across the turfgrass industry. Tyler and Joel discuss why soil testing functions like blood work for a golf course, what separates truly engaged superintendents from the rest, and how emerging technology, from autonomous mowers to AI driven agronomic programs, is reshaping the profession. Joel also reflects on his decade teaching soils at Rutgers University and how that work evolved into the GCSAA accredited Soil First Academy. If you care about agronomy fundamentals, superintendent development, or the future of soil health in golf, this is a conversation worth your time. What You'll Learn in this Episode How Joel's path from Penn State county extension agent and executive recruiter led to co-founding EarthWorks and establishing biological soil management in the turf industry. Why carbon based fertility was heavily criticized in the early 1990s and how it became a fixture in virtually every golf course maintenance facility today. Why Joel compares soil testing to a patient's blood work, and how roughly 15,000 annual soil tests anchor EarthWorks' agronomic recommendations. What has stayed constant in golf course maintenance, including superintendent intuition, and what is changing rapidly, from autonomous mowers to research on the rhizophagy cycle. How the Soil First Academy condenses Joel's ten years of Rutgers soils instruction into a GCSAA accredited seminar on soil chemistry, physics, and biology. How EarthWorks is developing an AI based program that tailors recommendations to each property's specific soil and water data. How Tyler and Joel evaluate genuine engagement and mastery of fundamentals when vetting superintendent candidates.

A 135-year-old sisterhood built on bloodline and sacrifice is caving to woke bylaws — and members who speak up are being threatened with expulsion. This week on Kim on a Whim, Kim St. Onge digs into how the Daughters of the American Revolution voted down a ban on biological men joining, despite outraged descendants like one woman who says her frontier ancestors didn't survive the wilderness so their legacy could be handed to someone born male. Marc and Kim don't hold back, tying it straight to the Supreme Court's recent win against trans athletes in women's sports and asking the obvious question: why do men want in the Daughters instead of the already-existing Sons of the American Revolution? With members too scared of a gag-order bylaw to even speak on the record, this segment lays bare how far institutional wokeness will go to silence its own. It's satire, it's serious, and it's exactly the kind of common-sense pushback the Marc Cox Morning Show audience expects. An October vote looms — will the DAR course-correct, or fold completely? Coming up: news breaks on our own station group being sold.

Against persistent fear of death, mortality avoidance, and the vices that emerge from terror management, this episode offers a personal testimony of a Christian experience of dying. With scientific precision, disarming honesty, and immense gratitude for life, biologist Jeff Schloss offers an intimate, firsthand account of his recent diagnosis of an extremely rare terminal neurological disease: multiple system atrophy (MSA). His doctors put the prognosis plainly: "It is terminal, it is incurable, and it's rapidly progressive." A longtime and beloved Westmont College biology professor and senior scholar at BioLogos, Schloss offers speaks directly to the experience of dying—as he encounters each new week of this rapidly progressive disease. He reconsiders the meaning of a "good death": increased gratitude and awareness of gift, the reality of pain, the loss of surfing and guitar-playing, the sacredness of family, and the surprising nearness of Christ as everything else falls away. A profound witness to Christian attitudes about life and death, Schloss seeks not a hero's death, but a daily, humble life-giving commerce with Christ. Schloss revisits a life that began in a nonreligious Jewish refugee family and pivoted through a dramatic conversion as a college-dropout surf bum in Hawaii. He traces what has changed, and what hasn't, now that death is no longer an abstraction but a daily fact in his body. With pastoral care and hope, Mark Labberton explores with Schloss what it means to experience dying rather than simply anticipate it, the grief of losing fifty years of surfing and guitar-playing to pain and paralysis, the gift of Simone Weil's writing on suffering, the Heidelberg Catechism's opening words on "our only comfort in life and in death," and the difference between the thrill of surfing and the sacredness of family and commerce with Christ. Episode Highlights I knew from the second grade that I wanted to be a scientist. I was out collecting butterflies and dragonflies and looking through microscopes at all sorts of things that I couldn't believe were there. As we were talking, it just occurred to me ... he either had what I wanted, or he was clinically crazy. It is terminal, it is incurable, and it's rapidly progressive ... the process of dying I find it fascinating ... It's not fun, but it is fascinating. She wasn't sad just for herself, I'm gonna lose you. And she wasn't sad empathetically just for me, so sorry for you. It was a joint sadness that the life we had hoped to share together, we are not gonna have. The things that are most life giving are out of reach ... I've come to see it's actually not true. The things that have been delightful are out of reach ... the thing that is most life giving, and that is commerce with Christ. I think it was the single most thrilling day of my entire life ... I said, no, those weren't thrilling, those were sacred. I don't want to market this season. I'm not looking for a hero's death, or any kind of publicly attended death. I would have never guessed that in this home stretch, my son and wife could carry me up the slopes of Yosemite Valley. About Jeff Schloss Jeff Schloss has spent four decades at the intersection of evolutionary biology and Christian theology. Now retired as Distinguished Professor of Biology at Westmont College, he continues as senior scholar at BioLogos, working alongside Francis Collins for more than fifteen years. He co-edited "The Believing Primate: Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Reflections on the Origin of Religion" and "Evolution and Ethics: Human Morality in Biological and Religious Perspective," a Templeton Science-Religion Book of Distinction winner.

What if the biggest risk factor for cancer, heart disease, and dementia isn't your genes, diet, or blood pressure but aging itself? Listen in as biogerontologist Dr. Matt Kaeberlein reveals how understanding the biology of aging could add not just years to our lives, but healthy decades, and why your dog might hold some of the most important clues.   In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Matt Kaeberlein discuss aging research. He explains that aging is characterized by damage accumulation and loss of resilience, leading to functional decline. Matt highlights the hallmarks of aging, such as deregulation of nutrient sensing and DNA damage, and the potential of interventions like rapamycin to slow aging. He notes that biological age is a significant risk factor for major diseases, and that understanding and addressing aging biology could significantly extend human lifespan. They also discuss the Dog Aging Project, with 55,000 participating dogs, which aims to uncover genetic and environmental factors influencing health and longevity in pets.    Key Takeaways: Our bodies are constantly being exposed to stress, and stress can move us out of the optimal zone of function. When we're young, we're very resilient and able to come back to optimal function. As we get older, we lose that resilience. When we slow aging in laboratory animals, we prevent the onset and progression of all of the major age-related functional declines and diseases simultaneously, because we've slowed biological aging. Based on what's possible in mice, it is estimated that we could potentially gain 2-3 additional decades of life if we can achieve this in humans. There is a genetic component to longevity; however, how big that genetic component is to longevity is hotly debated. The environment is also a large contributor.    "Biological age is the single greatest risk factor for nine of the top 10 killers in the United States, and it's not a small effect. The magnitude of effect from biological aging dwarfs all of the other risk factors combined…it's useful to appreciate how important biological age is to the risk of developing many of the chronic diseases and functional declines that limit quality and quantity of life for most people." —  Dr. Matt Kaeberlein   Episode References:  Dog Aging Project: https://dogagingproject.org/  Dog Aging Institute: https://dogaginginstitute.org/  Longevity for Dogs: https://www.youtube.com/@LongevityForDogs    Connect with Dr. Matt Kaeberlein: Professional Bio: https://halo.dlmp.uw.edu/people/matt-kaeberlein/  Publications: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=%22kaeberlein+m%22[author]    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mkaeberlein  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mkaeberlein/    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

What if your diagnosis wasn't the beginning of the end — but the beginning of everything? Eight years ago, Bettina Gordon-Wayne was handed a breast cancer diagnosis on a beautiful spring day in Washington, D.C. She had a four-year-old at home, a healthy lifestyle, and zero warning signs. Today, she is eight years cancer-free and biologically 12 years younger than her chronological age. And she has the data to prove it. Bettina spent 30 years as an international journalist interviewing world leaders, billionaires, and global experts. She was always the one asking the questions — until life gave her a story she couldn't cover from a distance. So she turned her investigative rigor toward the science of longevity, logged thousands of hours of research, and rebuilt her health from the inside out. Her TEDx talk "Aging Well, Aging in Reverse" surpassed 100,000 views. Her book The Joy of Later Motherhood sparked a global conversation. And her program, Younger With Age, is helping high-achieving midlife women do exactly what she did — reverse their biological age with data that proves it. In this episode, Dr. Anna and Bettina cover: Why biological age matters far more than the candles on your birthday cake How Bettina conceived naturally at 43 after a year of failed attempts — and what changed The mindset shift that separates women who age slowly from women who don't Why healthy living didn't prevent cancer — and how it saved her life anyway The unsexy, free anti-aging strategy that outperforms every biohack How to become a "beauty hunter" and lower cortisol through intentional joy The two words to say to anyone who tells you your best years are behind you Memorable Quotes: We can have true agency over the way we age. — Bettina Gordon-Wayne We can truly get younger with age.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne Get out of the victimhood and become defiant.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne The goal is not just to get older. The goal is to create a life that you are excited to live. — Bettina Gordon-Wayne If anybody tells you that you're too old, too gray, that your ship has sailed, look them straight in the eye and tell them two words: Watch me.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne "Our body is the cathedral of our spirit." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "For every day God gives us, let it be as healthy, vital, and purposeful as possible." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Health shows vitality." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Your diagnosis is not your destiny." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Your diagnosis is not your destiny." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Our body is the best pharmacy in the world." — Dr. Anna Cabeca   Take Bettina's free biological age quiz at bettinagordon.com/quiz and learn more about the Younger With Age program at bettinagordon.com/program.   Key Timestamps: 00:00 — Dr. Anna opens: "Our body is the cathedral of our spirit" — why renovation and repair are the foundation of longevity 02:15 — Introducing Bettina: from international journalist to first-time mom at 44 to breast cancer survivor to 12 years biologically younger 04:00 — Can we actually reverse biological age in our 50s and 60s?

Phytophthora Infestans: The Science of the Blight. Guest: Patrick Scanlan. The discussion turns to the biological cause of the famine: Phytophthora infestans, or the potato blight. Scanlan explains that Irish potatoes were grown from cuttings (clones), and this lack of genetic diversity made them uniquely vulnerable to pathogens. While Ireland had experienced localized crop failures before, the blight was a "novel pathogen" originating from Mexico. It traveled through the Americas before crossing the Atlantic to Europe in 1844–45. As a "water mold" that reproduces through spores, it spread rapidly on the wind across Ireland's dense monocrops. While the blight struck across Europe, the impact was most catastrophic in Ireland due to the population's profound dependence on the crop and a lack of alternative food sources. The organism encountered fields that had been separated from such pathogens for centuries, allowing it to sweep across every field it reached and destroy crops with unprecedented speed. 71873 QUEENSTOWN

For decades, we've been told to fear the sun. Avoid it. Cover up. Stay indoors. Apply sunscreen constantly. But what if one of the most powerful forces shaping human health has been misunderstood? In this eye-opening conversation, Darin Olien sits down with award-winning journalist and author Rowan Jacobsen to explore the surprising science of sunlight, longevity, vitamin D, cardiovascular health, immune regulation, circadian rhythms, and the unintended consequences of our growing fear of the sun. Drawing from decades of research and Rowan's extensive investigation for his new book, they unpack why sun exposure is linked to lower rates of chronic disease, how sunlight influences everything from blood pressure to inflammation, why vitamin D supplementation isn't the same as sunlight, and how modern indoor lifestyles may be creating what researchers call "biological darkness." This conversation challenges conventional wisdom and offers a more nuanced, science-backed understanding of our relationship with the sun.     What You'll Learn Why sunlight may be one of the most misunderstood health factors today The surprising connection between sun exposure and longevity How sunlight impacts blood pressure and cardiovascular health Why vitamin D supplements are not the same as sunlight The discovery of sunlight-triggered compounds beyond vitamin D How nitric oxide production lowers blood pressure Why sunlight plays a critical role in immune regulation The concept of "biological darkness" and modern indoor living How sunlight regulates circadian rhythms, sleep, and recovery Why skin tone dramatically changes sunlight requirements The dangers of both overexposure and underexposure Practical guidelines for developing a healthier relationship with the sun     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste Bits 00:02:50 – Introducing Rohan Jacobsen 00:03:22 – Why we've been taught to fear the sun 00:04:02 – Rohan's new book and questioning conventional wisdom 00:05:02 – How evolutionary biology challenges the anti-sun narrative 00:08:14 – The MIT fellowship that changed everything 00:09:13 – The blood pressure studies that sparked his investigation 00:10:15 – Sun exposure, longevity, and chronic disease 00:11:19 – Why skin cancer isn't the whole story 00:13:04 – Science, reductionism, and missing the bigger picture 00:14:16 – The surprising mortality tradeoff of avoiding sunlight 00:17:01 – Understanding sensible sun exposure 00:18:24 – Vitamin D and what supplements miss 00:19:44 – Twenty different compounds produced by sunlight 00:21:06 – Nitric oxide and blood pressure regulation 00:23:03 – The skin as an observatory 00:24:24 – Biological darkness and life indoors 00:26:13 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:28:11 – Circadian rhythms and the power of daylight 00:30:11 – Lux levels and why indoor light isn't enough 00:32:02 – The epidemic of biological darkness 00:33:42 – Sunlight, inflammation, and chronic disease 00:35:33 – Multiple sclerosis and the sunlight connection 00:36:10 – Why humans constantly overcorrect 00:38:05 – Sun exposure as exercise for your skin 00:39:53 – Stress adaptation and resilience 00:42:20 – Practical guidelines for healthy sun exposure 00:43:24 – Why burning is the real danger 00:44:06 – Skin tone, melanin, and individualized recommendations 00:46:03 – Why darker skin requires more sun exposure 00:46:51 – Australia's evolving sunlight guidelines 00:48:16 – Vitamin D production and skin pigmentation 00:49:30 – Darin's personal relationship with the sun 00:51:11 – Training your skin for resilience 00:52:00 – Reclaiming joy and confidence in sunlight 00:53:24 – Seasonal darkness and modern life 00:54:19 – Challenging outdated health narratives 00:55:57 – Rohan's work with cacao and medicinal plants 00:57:00 – The endocannabinoid system and cacao 00:57:58 – Standing in truth and questioning assumptions 00:58:30 – Final thoughts and gratitude     Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Rowan Jacobsen Website: rowanjacobsen.com Instagram: @unrealrowanjacobsen Book: In Defense of Sunlight     Find More from Darin Olien: Website: darinolien.com Instagram: @darinolien Book: Fatal Conveniences Platform & Products: superlife.com New Show: Roadmap to Happiness     Key Takeaway "The sun is not simply a source of vitamin D—it's a master regulator of human biology. From blood pressure and inflammation to sleep, immunity, cognition, and longevity, sunlight acts as a critical environmental signal that helps orchestrate countless systems throughout the body. The question isn't whether we should fear the sun or worship it. The question is whether we've forgotten how to live in relationship with one of the very forces that helped shape us."
