Welcome to Paranormal Spectrum, where we illuminate the enigmatic corners of the supernatural world. I'm your host, Barnaby Jones, and today we have a very special guest joining us:Rooted in a deep, lifelong connection to the spiritual world, Ellie Weisensel initially pursued a path in science, earning two degrees and dedicating over three decades to the food industry and a science-based government agency. However, during the latter years of her scientific career, a more insistent spiritual calling began, gently guiding her toward blending her analytical mind with the world of energy healing. This unexpected transition led her to become a Reiki Master and Certified Psychic Medium, specializing in the complex work of entity release—a role Spirit revealed was part of her soul agreement. Further expanding their expertise, Ellie integrated The Emotion Code and The Body Code into her practice, and following a spiritual nudge to look deeper into client bloodwork, she learned to read functional blood chemistry, allowing her to connect emotional, energetic, and physiological imbalances in a profound way, all while maintaining her lifelong residency within a small radius of their Wisconsin birthplace.Ellie's Websitehttps://www.ellieweisensel.com/Click that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

Dan Broadbent is back for round two.| Blood Work | Enclomiphene | Testosterone | Tadalafil | MK-677In this follow-up conversation, I sit down again with my friend and good human Dan Broadbent—owner of Broadbent Photography and a three-time Manistee News Advocate Reader's Choice Award winner for local photography—to revisit his ongoing health and lifestyle transformation.This time, we go deeper. ( Dan also produced this entire episode using all of his equipment )We revisit many of the same topics from our first conversation, but with more clarity, reflection, and real-world experience behind them. Dan shares why consistent blood work has become a non-negotiable part of his health journey, what he's learned since our first conversation, and how that information led him to simplify and adjust his approach.We talk about:The importance of understanding your numbers before making changesHow blood work shaped Dan's decision-makingWhy he moved away from a larger peptide stackHis current, more focused approach utilizing MK-677, Enclomiphene, and TadalafilSustainability, responsibility, and long-term thinking when it comes to health optimizationThis episode isn't about chasing extremes—it's about awareness, education, and taking ownership of your health with intention.Please note: Neither the host nor the guest are medical professionals.

"Should you get routine blood work?" seems like a straightforward question, but the answer lies in understanding how our bodies process nutrients and when testing actually provides meaningful information. Nutrient deficiencies can be surprisingly sneaky, calcium deficiencies might take decades to show up in blood tests while silently damaging bone health, and even B12 deficiencies can remain hidden for 6-12 months before symptoms emerge.For those following or transitioning to plant-based diets, there's particular interest in monitoring nutritional status, but ordering "everything" on a blood panel isn't always the right approach. When we test without specific reasons, we often find incidental fluctuations that trigger unnecessary follow-up procedures, creating anxiety and straining healthcare resources. A better strategy is targeted testing based on your specific risk factors, symptoms, and dietary patterns. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those taking medications like metformin or regular antacids, people with relevant family histories, and anyone on restrictive diets might benefit from more comprehensive screening.Before reaching for the needle, consider tracking your nutrition through tools like the Canadian Food Guide, Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen Checklist, or apps like Cronometer to identify potential gaps. When testing makes sense, a complete blood count and metabolic profile provide foundational information, while specific nutrient tests can be added based on individual needs. Remember that for plant-based eaters, B12 supplementation remains essential regardless of blood test results, some deficiencies simply take too long to appear in testing. The ultimate goal isn't just finding problems after they develop but preventing them through varied, nutrient-dense foods and lifestyle habits that support overall health.

In this week's episode, we keep building off the Break 75 Blueprint — the framework helping everyday golfers tighten their scoring, eliminate wasted shots, and build consistency through smarter strategy and purposeful reps. We break down how small refinements in how you practice can create massive gains in how you play.Our Improvement Pivot Point is Practice With Intent — the difference between simply hitting balls and actually training movements that transfer to the course. When your reps have a purpose, a target, and a defined movement focus, you build repeatability. When they don't, you just add noise to your pattern.We also dive into Rasmus Neergaard Petersen's win on the DP World Tour — a massive milestone for one of Europe's brightest rising stars. His week was a blueprint in itself: disciplined preparation, a clear game plan, and unwavering intent behind every shot. There's a lot golfers can learn from the way he structures his performance and earns his first DP World Tour victory.And finally, a blend of performance takeaways — from how the best players shape purposeful practice to how everyday golfers can adopt the same mindset. This is your weekly reminder that improvement is built on clarity, strategy, and reps that actually mean something. That is how you truly Own Your SSWING.Mentions in this episode:The Putting ThingShop SSWING Swag

So many women are stuck in hormone frustration because they believe blood work is the ultimate truth. In this episode, I explain why that belief is holding you back. Hormone levels shift constantly. They change by the day, the hour, stress, sleep, food, inflammation, hydration, and more. Yet women are driving hours, getting stuck with needles, waiting on labs — only to be told everything is "normal" while fat loss, energy, mood, and recovery are still wrecked. In this episode, I cover: • Why hormone blood work is a moving target • Why symptom-based data is often more accurate than labs • Why DEXA and body comp testing are often wildly inaccurate • Why real progress comes from lifestyle + physiology, not chasing numbers • Who this approach IS and IS NOT for If you're the woman doing all the "right things" and still not seeing results — you're exactly who this episode is for.
DNA testing reveals your genetic blueprint and long-term nutritional tendencies, while blood work shows your current nutrient status. Discover which method offers the insights you need, why they complement each other, and how personalized testing can transform your approach to supplements and wellness.

The fitness and health industry is experiencing a major transformation driven by evolving consumer preferences, technological innovation, and the rise of artificial intelligence. In this episode, hosts sit down with Juliet Starrett and Alex Alimanestianu to break down the latest quarterly reports from major fitness industry players and explore the emerging bloodwork and health diagnostics revolution that's threatening to disrupt traditional healthcare companies. From the contrasting fortunes of legacy brands to the explosive growth in wearable technology, this conversation covers it all. Traditional gym chains like Lifetime Fitness and Planet Fitness are showing surprising resilience, with Planet Fitness in particular demonstrating strong financial health and an aggressive growth strategy. Meanwhile, Peloton continues to face ongoing challenges adapting to post-pandemic market conditions, and the boutique fitness sector under Exponential Fitness shows mixed results as operators navigate shifting consumer demand. Garmin is posting record-breaking years, benefiting from the booming wearable technology market that helps consumers track their health metrics in real-time. But the most significant disruption on the horizon comes from artificial intelligence's entry into health diagnostics and personalized wellness. Juliet highlights how tools like ChatGPT are enabling individuals to analyze their own blood work and medical data, fundamentally changing the patient experience. This democratization of health information threatens traditional diagnostic companies while creating opportunities for innovative health tech platforms like Function Health, which recently made major strategic moves. The convergence of wearable technology, consumer health data analytics, and AI-powered advisory services is reshaping how people approach fitness and wellness. As AI chatbots become more sophisticated at interpreting health data and providing personalized recommendations, the entire industry—from gyms to diagnostic labs to fitness equipment manufacturers—must adapt or risk obsolescence in a market where consumers increasingly expect immediate, affordable, and personalized health insights.

The ALL ME® Podcast Do You Need URO-A and CoQ-10 In Your Life? – Dr. Emily Werner In this episode of the ALL ME Podcast, Don Hooton speaks with Dr. Emily Werner, a sports dietitian for the Philadelphia 76ers. They discuss Dr. Werner's journey into sports nutrition, her experiences working with professional athletes, and the importance of building relationships with players to effectively communicate nutritional advice. The conversation also covers the role of nutrition in enhancing athletic performance, the collaboration with external nutrition professionals, and the significance of specific nutrients like Urolithin A in supporting athletes' health and performance. In this conversation, Dr. Emily Werner discusses the significance of gut health, the role of Urolithin A and CoQ10 as supplements, and the importance of dietary choices in maintaining optimal health. She emphasizes the need for targeted supplementation due to the decline in gut microbiome diversity and the natural production of CoQ10 with age. The discussion also highlights the role of dietitians in assessing nutritional deficiencies through blood work, particularly in athletes, and the evolving landscape of dietary supplements. To Purchase urolithin A in supplement form, Emily recommends purchasing from www.timeline.com Takeaways Dr. Werner's journey into sports nutrition began with a love for anatomy and physiology. Building relationships with athletes is crucial for effective nutrition counseling. Nutrition plays a vital role in the performance and longevity of athletes. Urolithin A is a metabolite that supports mitochondrial health. Athletes often have their own chefs or nutritionists, complicating team dynamics. Effective communication with external nutrition professionals is essential. Traveling with the team allows for better food coordination and athlete support. Nutrition education is important for young athletes to enhance their performance. The importance of nutrition has grown in professional sports over the years. Athletes benefit from a diet rich in fruits, nuts, and other nutrient-dense foods. Not everyone has the right gut microbiome for nutrient conversion. Urolithin A is a supplement that addresses bioavailability issues. Foundational supplements like Urolithin A can benefit everyone. CoQ10 is essential for energy production in mitochondria. CoQ10 helps clear out reactive oxygen species in the body. Urolithin A and CoQ10 can work synergistically for health. Dietary sources of CoQ10 include meat and fish. Statins can deplete natural CoQ10 levels in the body. Blood work can reveal nutritional deficiencies in athletes. Dietitians play a crucial role in nutritional health and prevention.

You will learn about the five macro minerals as the big players that run your electrical system, stress response, thyroid, blood sugar, and detox pathways, and why I always start with a straightforward hair test before worrying about smaller numbers.What is really happening when these core minerals drift out of balance and you feel fatigued, anxious, constipated, bloated, unable to sleep well, or emotionally numb while your blood work keeps looking normal? Chronic stress, mold, gut and absorption issues, restrictive eating, big hormonal transitions, and even over filtered water can quietly drain these minerals long before anything shows up clearly on your standard labs. Your body has been compensating for years using every mineral trick it has to keep your blood looking stable, and the question is whether you'll help it move from survival back into actually feeling good.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:49] What a cellular-level mineral test reveals long before blood work changes[04:57] How calcium can steady your system or silently block hormonal signals[05:51] The surprising ways low magnesium derails energy, mood, and digestion[06:52] What sodium levels expose about your stress load and resilience[18:52] How mold strips key minerals and creates the “four lows” pattern[20:26] Why arsenic and other heavy metals rise when minerals crash[32:40] What it really takes to move from mineral survival mode back to stabilityResources Mentioned:Master Your Minerals Course | WebsiteOther Hormone Healing episodes to listen to:Zinc deep dive | EpisodeCopper deep dive | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 1 | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 2 | EpisodeAll about the Copper IUD | EpisodeSelenium deep dive | EpisodeNothing boring about Boron | EpisodeMaster your minerals.

There's a whole narrative right now that “vibe coding is a bubble” and all the MRR from AI-built apps isn't real.In this episode, we chat with Jacob Klug, founder of the agency Creme, which specializes in building lovable MVPs on top of tools like Lovable and AI coding assistants. Jacob makes the case that most of the “AI apps are trash” discourse is really a skill issue, not a tool issue—and he breaks down the exact process his team uses to ship full platform-level apps in two-week sprints.We dig into how to scope and design software that doesn't look AI-generated, how to think about personal operating systems vs. SaaS, why ideas are getting worse even as tools get better, and how creators and agencies can turn niche domain expertise into real products.If you're an operator, marketer, or founder trying to figure out how to actually use AI coding tools (instead of just tweeting about them), this one's for you.GuestJacob Klug — founder of Creme, an agency building “lovable MVPs” and full-stack products with Lovable + AI tools; helps founders, startups & enterprises ship production apps in weeks without sacrificing UX.Guest LinksWebsite: https://www.creme.digital/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-klug-37b254156/X (Twitter): https://x.com/JacobsklugWhat You'll LearnWhy the “vibe coding is a bubble” take is mostly a skill and discipline problemHow Jacob's agency ships full startup-grade products using Lovable and AIThe PRD-first formula they use before ever opening a builderHow to decide when to build vs. when to buy software in 2025Why we're entering a wave of personal OSes and custom internal toolsHow to avoid shipping janky AI UI and make your app look intentionally designedThe mindset shift from “I could build anything” → “I will build this one specific thing”Why specializing in one AI tool (Lovable, Cursor, n8n, etc.) beats being “the AI guy”Tactical content and lead-gen plays for agencies on LinkedIn and YouTubeHow to learn AI tooling without getting paralyzed by the infinite possibilitiesTimestamps00:00 — Vibe coding: bubble or breakthrough?02:23 — Effective use of no-code tools05:23 — Stack and scoping for MVP development07:08 — Trends in personal software development10:33 — Personal projects: blood work analysis tool13:00 — Steps to start building custom software17:49 — Successful and unsuccessful product categories21:01 — Learning and adopting AI tools27:45 — Creator collaboration in software development32:14 — Lead generation strategies for AI-powered agenciesKey Topics & Ideas1.

In this episode of Tails from the Lab, Drs. Holly and Brad explore one of the most overlooked tools in preventive veterinary care: wellness lab data. Together, they unpack why routine bloodwork is so meaningful and how it can guide early intervention and better outcomes throughout a pet's life. This episode covers: How population-based reference intervals are created and what causes them to miss subtle but important changes Why scanning for “red” results isn't enough to catch disease early The critical role of baseline data in identifying trends before clinical signs appear What key studies reveal about the value of wellness testing — including that 1 in 7 seemingly healthy adult pets show actionable abnormalities How establishing “normal” for each individual patient leads to more accurate, timely diagnoses Through real-world examples and expert insights, Drs. Holly and Brad reframe how veterinarians should approach preventive diagnostics through investment in long-term baseline data—and how this investment improves your ability to make confident, informed decisions when it matters most. Tails from the Lab is a production of Antech Diagnostics. The intent of this podcast is to provide education and guidance with the understanding that any diagnostic testing and treatment decisions are ultimately at the discretion of the attending veterinarian within the established veterinarian-patient-client relationship.
In this episode, Dr. Danielle Desroche explores the complexities of androgens in women's health, particularly in relation to PCOS.

In this inspiring episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Functional Health Practitioner Dee Davidson sits down with her client Jayne, a vibrant, health-conscious woman who seemed to be doing everything right — clean eating, regular workouts, and all the “healthy habits” you'd expect.Yet behind the scenes, Jayne was running on empty — exhausted, moody, and frustrated that her doctors kept telling her, “Everything looks fine.”Together, Dee and Jayne unpack how functional lab testing revealed what traditional labs had missed: mineral imbalances, adrenal fatigue, and stress patterns that were quietly draining Jayne's energy. Through targeted nutrition, mineral support, and lifestyle shifts, Jayne discovered that “normal” doesn't always mean optimal — and that true wellness starts when you finally listen to what your body is trying to say.If you've ever felt dismissed by “normal” results but know something deeper is off, this episode will empower you to dig deeper and reclaim your vitality — one insight at a time.Ready to explore your own functional lab journey?Book a session with Dee here → https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourselfConnect with Dee on Instagram for daily hormone, gut, and mineral tips → HereDisclaimerThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

True Crime was the 94th-highest grossing movie of 1999, grossing just $17 million on a $50 million budget with a fairly limited release. Starring and directed by Clint Eastwood, True Crime was largely forgotten and remains overlooked most likely due to its release at what can be described as Eastwood's most prolonged artistic lull in the mid 1990s, starting with 1997's Absolute Power and Midnight in the Garden of Eden, 2000's Space Cowboys, and 2002's Blood Work. That lull would end with 2003's acclaimed Mystic River, which earned Oscars for both Sean Penn and Tim Robbins as well as Best Director and Best Picture nominations for Eastwood. But True Crime is still an interesting entry on Eastwood's resume, exploring many of the themes of injustice and moral ambiguity that he frequently explores in his work. So does the similarly-themed 2024 film Juror #2, which Eastwood directed in his mid-90s. So this week we're talking about them both, and joining is us is Aaron from the podcast Hit Factory.
Legendary Life | Transform Your Body, Upgrade Your Health & Live Your Best Life
You might think you're eating healthy — but what if the story you tell yourself about your diet has nothing to do with your actual health? In this episode, Ted breaks down one of the most common mistakes high achievers make when it comes to nutrition — believing that how "healthy" your food sounds is what determines your results. Using a viral debate comparing Big Macs to salmon, Ted explains why food stories and diet labels miss the real picture. You'll learn why calories are still king, why excess body fat destroys your health regardless of how "clean" you eat, and what data actually matters — from body composition and visceral fat to fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1C, and cholesterol levels. Ted also shares how two people can eat the same foods and have totally different health outcomes, and why the only way to know if your diet is working is to track objective data, not rely on beliefs or feelings. In this episode, you'll learn: What is the real relationship between calories, food quality, and health outcomes Why being lean and active matters more than any specific diet What your blood work reveals about your true metabolic health How to use DEXA scans and lab tests to track your progress accurately How to use data, not diet dogma, to optimize your health and performance And much more... If you're serious about living longer, performing better, and cutting through nutrition hype, this episode will show you how to stop guessing and start measuring what truly matters. Listen now!

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
Parenting a child who's struggling with mysterious symptoms can be frightening and exhausting. You bring them to the doctor, the tests come back “normal,” and yet you know something isn't right. You're not imagining it—it's real, and you're not alone.In this episode, Dr. Bill Rawls explains why Lyme disease testing often misses active infections, what it means for your child, and practical steps parents can take to advocate for accurate diagnosis and care.Why does my child keep testing negative for Lyme disease even when symptoms persist?False negatives are common: Many Lyme disease tests, like the ELISA (enzyme linked immunoassay) or Western blot, rely on antibodies that may not appear early or consistently.Early infection can be invisible: During the initial infection or early Lyme disease, the immune system may not have produced enough detectable antibodies for serologic testing.Co-infections complicate results: Other tick-borne illnesses can mask or mimic Lyme disease symptoms, making accurate diagnosis even harder.Persistent or chronic infections: Sometimes, persistent infection or chronic Lyme can continue even after a negative test. Clinical findings, medical history, and physical examination help guide your provider toward the right diagnosis of Lyme disease.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated system of testing, not a failure of your vigilance.Even when bloodwork looks clear, your child may still have an active infection. Understanding test limitations helps reduce frustration and empowers you to take action.How can I tell if Lyme disease is being missed in my child?Watch for persistent, nonspecific symptoms: Fatigue, joint pain, headaches, or cognitive changes can appear long before tests turn positive.Consider medical history and exposure: Tick bites, outdoor activities, or living in endemic areas provide important clues.Use clinical judgment alongside lab tests: A single blood test rarely tells the full story; doctors often need multiple tests and examinations.You don't have to wait for a positive blood test to validate your child's suffering.Ready to help your child calm down quickly and regain control? Start using Quick Calm today and discover simple, science-backed strategies to regulate their nervous system.What are the limitations of standard Lyme disease testing?ELISA and Western blot tests measure antibodies, not bacteria directly: If your child's immune system hasn't produced detectable antibodies, the test can look clear.False positives and delayed diagnosis are common: Inaccurate results can delay treatment, allowing Lyme bacteria to persist and cause chronic symptoms.Tests vary in performance: Different labs, methods, and timing of testing affect results.Let's calm the brain first—then focus on gathering the right information without panic.Want to stay calm when your child pushes every button?Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit—your step-by-step guide to stop oppositional behaviors without yelling or giving in.Go to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and grab your kit today.What should parents do if Lyme disease tests come back negative?Keep a detailed symptom log: Track fatigue, joint pain, rashes, and cognitive...

Following the dispute about pigul for a meal-offering, the Gemara investigates all the permitting factors for an offering to be accepted, before there are any considerations of pigul. Note that the sprinkling of the blood on the inner altar needs to be done correctly. Also, the count of blood worship tasks: 43 or 47 or 48? If the bloods of two animals mingles, there is room to be lenient, in terms of how many placements there were on the altar.

Matt outlines his top goals: creating more personal space and balance, improving fitness and function, reaching a healthier body weight, and setting specific measurable targets like running a faster mile. Alongside the numbers, they emphasize that true progress comes from self-awareness, intentional habits, and aligning health goals with the realities of life's seasons.

Master your minerals. Harmonize your hormones. Start your mineral journey here. What if the root of your child's health struggles isn't another cream, pill, or quick fix, but something much deeper?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nina Marie Rueda, a naturopath who works with children and families through a functional, integrative lens. Her own journey started during her first pregnancy, when she realized how little she'd supported her body and baby with nutrition. This pregnancy completely changed her perspective, and she went from wanting to become a university professor to birth work, nutrition training, and eventually naturopathy.We get into why minerals matter so much for kids, especially when it comes to challenges like picky eating, eczema, and sleep struggles. Dr. Nina explains how testing works, why hair analysis often gives a clearer picture than blood work for children, and what common mineral patterns she sees in practice. The conversation is raw, practical, and full of insights for parents trying to make sense of their kids' health struggles without getting lost in overwhelm.You'll Learn:How a Bradley Method class shifted Dr. Nina's path to naturopathyWhat minerals actually do in kids' bodies and why they're essentialThe link between taste buds, zinc, and picky eatingWhy hair mineral tests show the long game while blood work is a snapshotCommon mineral patterns seen in children with eczemaHow heavy metals disrupt gut microbes and fuel skin issuesThe mineral imbalances behind sleep struggles in kidsWhy parents' own mineral status affects mealtime stressThe reason some kids' multivitamins should avoid iron and copperHow minerals shape digestion, detox, and resilience in childrenTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[05:47] Why minerals are the non-negotiable foundation for children's health[07:40] Hair testing versus blood work for understanding mineral balance in kids[13:05] Why picky eating in kids often comes down to mineral imbalances and taste buds[22:46] Eczema in kids and the role of mineral imbalances and heavy metals[39:43] How mineral imbalances and heavy metals disrupt children's sleep patterns[45:22] Choosing the right multivitamins for kids and why avoiding copper and iron matters[49:10] Making supplements part of daily family routinesResources Mentioned:Minerals & Gut Health Connection for Eczema Course | WebsiteGut and Minerals Free Resource | WebsitePicky Eaters Protocol | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Nina:Nerdy Notes with Nina Marie | SubstackDr. Nina Marie | WebsiteDr. Nina Marie | InstagramFind more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTok
Okay, you've probably heard me say before that I don't recommend getting blood work for your hormones because the results are often inaccurate, misleading, and honestly just a waste of your time, LOL. However, there are three nutrients I do want you to test via blood work. These three are extremely important for ovulation, egg quality, implantation, men's and women's fertility, and overall a healthy pregnancy.Chapters in this episode: 00:00 Introduction to Fertility and Nutrient Testing02:54 The Importance of Vitamin B12 for Fertility06:01 Understanding Vitamin D3 and Its Role in Reproductive Health08:48 The Significance of Iron Levels in Fertility11:47 Preparing for IVF: Nutritional Considerations14:23 Holistic Approach to Fertility and Hormonal HealthWays to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged Dan Garner dives into how you can start to analyze your yearly bloodwork for performance. Standard blood tests can be ordered around the globe, in every country, and are the gold standard for understanding basic health. The normal reference ranges, however, are not giving you the answers you are looking for when it come to optimizing your health and performance. In this episode you will learn: What's the mindset/philosophy of looking at bloodwork for performance if it's classically a health screen? Generally speaking, energy is what every performer needs regardless of their pursuit. How can one look at bloodwork to improve their energy levels? Electrolytes come on every panel, can these be used to look at hydration and performance? You've talked a bunch about the immune system in past podcasts so I'm wondering what a basic blood panel can tell us about the current state of our immunity? What general recommendations do you have in terms of preparation so when someone gets their blood draw they can ensure it's accurate?
