Try TrueDark (with my discount): https://truedark.com/discount/DAVETUBEI transformed my vision from 20/80 to 20/15 by stopping the "management of decline" and starting the "restoration of tissue".The retina is a metabolically hungry tissue that undergoes a nightly repair program, but modern habits like screen use and late-night blue light exposure suppress the melatonin and mitochondrial energy needed for this cleanup.To reverse this, I use 7 specific daily habits to flip the self-healing switch:- Mitochondrial Fuel: I use 670 nm red light to directly fuel retinal mitochondria and increase ATP production.- Pigment Regeneration: I eat blueberries in the evening to accelerate night-vision pigment (rhodopsin) regeneration exactly when the eye needs it.- Mechanical Rest: I practice "Eye Fasting"—looking at true distance—to release the mechanical tension of constant near-focus.- Vascular Tone: I use a gentle cold rinse to improve vascular tone and blood flow around the eye.- Oxidative Stress: I practice grounding to lower systemic oxidative stress and inflammation.- Corneal Hydration: I use blink training to rehydrate the cornea and stabilize the protective tear film.- Circadian Anchoring: Finally, I watch the sunset every day to anchor my circadian rhythm, ensuring my eye's repair enzymes activate on time.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro01:05 – The Problem with Traditional Vision Care02:48 – How Your Eyes Repair Themselves at Night05:03 – How Modern Life Breaks the Repair Cycle05:53 – The 7 Habits to Activate Your Eye's Self-Healing Switch06:07 – Habit 1: Red Light Therapy07:18 – Habit 2: Blueberries and Rhodopsin09:22 – Habit 3: Cold Exposure for Blood Flow11:10 – Habit 4: Grounding to Reduce Oxidative Stress13:38 – Habit 5: Eye Fasting (Distance Viewing)15:45 – Habit 6: Deliberate Blinking17:53 – Habit 7: Sunset Light and Circadian RepairThank you to our sponsors!--Connect with Dave Asprey!Website: https://daveasprey.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/X: https://x.com/daveaspreyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/daveaspreybprThe Human Upgrade Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/TheHumanUpgradePodcast/ https://m.facebook.com/Thehumanupgrade/Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/DAVE15Dave Asprey's BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com/Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/Dave's favorite supplements: https://www.shopsuppgradelabs.com/discount/DAVE15Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com40 Years of Zen: https://40yearsofzen.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Maine's craft brewing industry has always punched above its weight despite being among the smallest in population. The state ranked second in breweries (14.3 per 100,000 21+ adults) and economic impact per capita, and third in gallons (9.8) per 21+ adult in 2024, according to Brewers Association data.    That outsized impact along with the state's robust tourism business gives Maine craft brewers a unique perspective on the industry's ebbs and flows.    The latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast features two of those voices – Baxter Brewing president Jenn Lever and Orono Brewing co-owner Abe Furth – in separate conversations recorded during the New England Brew Summit. Both are also Maine Brewers Guild leaders and board members.    Up first, Lever explained what it's like to navigate a business when seven months account for the lion's share of volume.    "We're so proud to represent Maine year-round, but we also recognize the challenges that come when your population quadruples for less than half of the year," she said. "You've gotta be ready to activate and react as quickly as possible to that summer season.    "The people that come to Maine the first time, it's never their last time."   Lever also touched on how Baxter's mix shifts during the busy season, the loss of Canadian tourism amid strained international relations and why blueberry-flavored offerings have become big business for the company.   Then, Furth discussed why guild participation remains important. He also shared why operating in a college town allows him to peer into the future and plan accordingly, and explained the importance of working through innovation plans with the brewery's distributors to find products that fill real whitespace in their portfolios.    Before the interview, Justin and Jess recap Tilray's purchase of BrewDog's U.S. assets and the future of the platform. They also look at some not great shipment numbers to start the year and some not-so-bad scans.

“I don't like the idea of losing out to a machine because I feel like I'm losing a part of myself in the process.” — Nelson Dellis, six-time USA Memory ChampionMost of us can't remember our spouse's phone number. We barely know our own. We haven't read a physical map in years. Some of us don't even know what a map is. Such is the impoverishment of mental life in our digital age.Nelson Dellis, unlike most of us, is a rich man — at least mentally. He can memorise a shuffled deck of 52 cards in under a minute. He stores every stranger's phone number in his head for 24 hours before putting it in his phone — on principle. He's a six-time USA Memory Champion, a computer science professor at Skidmore, and the author of a new book, Everyday Genius, which suggests we can all be a lot smarter than our smart phones.Dellis got into memory after watching his grandmother get lost in the fog of Alzheimer's. And as a computer science professor, he's equally terrified by what he now sees in the classroom. His students can't craft an email without ChatGPT. They can't focus. They can't solve a problem without asking a machine. He warns that we're outsourcing our cognitive agency to devices and mislabelling it as human productivity.For Dellis, it's the same mental atrophy that destroyed his grandmother. AI-generated mnemonics, he warns, feel “dead inside.” Our brains, like our language, are degenerating into slop. Thus the value of his hacks to restore our focus and boost our memories. Five Takeaways•       I Can't Remember My Wife's Phone Number: Neither can you. Neither can anyone under 50. We've outsourced our memories to devices and the consequences are only beginning to show. Nelson Dellis memorises every new phone number for 24 hours before putting it in his phone. Not because he needs to — because his brain needs him to.•       His Grandmother Disappeared into Alzheimer's and It Changed His Life: Dellis watched the woman who raised him become a shell of herself — unable to recognise her own grandson. He went down a rabbit hole into memory science, discovered a former champion's audiobook, tried the techniques, and was hooked. He won his first US Memory Championship within two years. He's won six.•       If Everyone's a Genius, Nobody Is: I pushed back on the book's premise. Dellis conceded the point but held his ground: the techniques are learnable, the results are real, and the distinction between “genius” and “trained” matters less than the distinction between a brain that's exercised and one that's atrophying. The London cab driver study is his best evidence — hippocampi that grow with use and shrink without it.•       AI Slop Is by Definition Forgettable: Dellis teaches computer science, so he's no Luddite. But AI-generated mnemonics, he says, feel “dead inside.” The vivid, absurd, grotesque images that make memory techniques work are products of individual human imagination. A machine can't generate weirdness. Not yet. Maybe not ever. His students can't write an email without ChatGPT. That should terrify us more than it does.•       Eat Your Blueberries: Four pillars of brain health: mental exercise, physical fitness, diet, and — the one that surprises people — social interaction. Dellis trains a 90-year-old and a five-year-old using the same techniques. Both can do things their peers cannot. The brain doesn't expire at 70. But it does atrophy if you let your iPhone do the thinking. About the GuestNelson Dellis is a six-time USA Memory Champion (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2021, 2024), certified mountaineer and Everest summiteer, and Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Skidmore College. His new book is Everyday Genius: Hacks to Boost Your Memory, Focus, Problem-Solving, and Much More. He has taught memory techniques to audiences ranging from five-year-olds to nonagenarians.References:•       Everyday Genius by Nelson Dellis — the book under discussion, currently the number one new release in memory improvement on Amazon.•       Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer — the bestselling account of competitive memory that Dellis discusses and Foer, a friend of his, promoted at the same event where Dellis won his first title.•       Episode 2835: Why Dario Amodei Might Be the 21st Century's First Real Leader — this week's TWTW, where Keith Teare covered AI disruption from the tech side.•       USA Memory Championship — the annual competition Dellis has won six times.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” we welcome guest host Steve Mantle, founder and CEO of Innov8.ag and USHBC's partner in the BerrySmart Field program, who's joined by Charlie Andersen, CEO and founder of Burro, and Noe Toribio, customer success manager at Burro. Together, they discuss on-farm efficiency potential using autonomous robotics. They share the impact this technology can have on labor costs for producers and how that may affect the agriculture industry.“There's a lot of areas in agriculture and beyond where there are no robots today and people are moving around doing work that requires movement, plus perception, plus manipulation … and inspecting things on sites and doing data capture. They're all things where there's a real need for robots, but the way to get them going isn't to try to do it all at once. It's to do it in a stepped or phased approach, which is kind of the genesis of Burro.” – Charlie AndersenTopics covered include: An introduction to Anderson and Toribio, and their work. The ideas that led to the creation of Burro, and the impact autonomous tractors can have for producers.An exploration of the evolution of autonomous tractors and what the future may hold.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

Perennials Plant Once, Harvest for Life | Episode 601 Growing food is one of the most important survival skills you can develop. A garden can feed your family, give you independence, and reduce your reliance on fragile supply chains. But let's be honest — gardens can also be a lot of work. Planting every year, maintaining beds, watering, fertilizing, harvesting. It takes time and effort. So what if you could plant something once and harvest from it for years or even decades? Today we're talking about perennials you plant once and harvest for life. Fruit Trees: Long-Term Food Security Fruit trees are one of the best investments you can make in a long-term food system. Apples, pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries — once established they can produce food for decades with relatively little maintenance. The key advice here is simple: grow what you actually like to eat. If you love apples, plant apples. If you love peaches, plant peaches. But there's another opportunity here that many people overlook. Instead of growing the same varieties you see in grocery stores, grow unusual or specialty varieties. There are thousands of apple varieties alone. Some have unique flavors, unusual colors, or striking appearances. Things like pink-fleshed apples or deep purple varieties can stand out in farmers markets and command a higher price. If you’re going to plant trees that will produce for decades, you might as well plant something interesting. Avoid Monocropping Another reason to grow multiple varieties is resilience. If you plant twenty identical apple trees and a pest or disease hits that specific variety, you could lose your entire orchard. By planting different varieties, you reduce the risk and increase the overall resilience of your system. It also extends your harvest window since different varieties ripen at different times. Berry Bushes: Easy Perennial Calories Berry bushes are another excellent perennial food source. Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries can produce fruit year after year once established. Many of them spread naturally and become even more productive over time. They're also easy to harvest and can fit into small spaces. Some berry bushes can even serve as natural barriers. Thorny plants like blackberries and raspberries can help deter animals or even people from wandering through certain areas. That means your food production can also double as a defensive landscape feature. Asparagus: A Perennial Vegetable Most vegetables are annuals, meaning you have to plant them every year. Asparagus is one of the rare exceptions. Once established, an asparagus patch can produce for 15–20 years or more. It takes a few years to get going, but once it does, it comes back every spring and keeps producing. It's one of the best “plant once, harvest for years” foods you can grow. Rhubarb and Perennial Herbs Rhubarb is another tough perennial plant that comes back year after year. It produces large stalks that can be used in pies, jams, and preserves. It's cold-tolerant and very hardy, making it a good option in many climates. Herbs are another category that often comes back year after year. Plants like mint, oregano, thyme, chives, and rosemary can continue growing season after season with minimal effort. Growing herbs at home saves money and keeps fresh flavor available anytime you need it. Instead of buying a bunch of herbs and letting half of it rot in the refrigerator, you can simply step outside and cut what you need. Nut Trees: High-Calorie Survival Food Finally, we have nut trees. Pecans, walnuts, and chestnuts produce calorie-dense foods that can feed people for generations. Nuts contain healthy fats and protein — things that can be harder to obtain in survival situations. Unlike annual crops, these trees can produce for decades or even longer, making them an excellent long-term investment for a food-producing landscape. Chestnuts are particularly interesting historically. The American chestnut once dominated forests across the eastern United States before blight nearly wiped it out. Today people are working to restore blight-resistant varieties, while Chinese chestnuts remain widely available and productive. Building a Perennial Food System The biggest takeaway from today's episode is simple. Annual gardens are great, but perennial food systems are powerful. Plant trees. Plant berry bushes. Plant herbs that come back every year. Add asparagus, rhubarb, and nut trees. These plants reduce your workload while increasing long-term food production. And the sooner you plant them, the sooner they start producing. Because when it comes to perennial food systems, the best time to plant them was yesterday. The second best time is today.

 Have you noticed your vision becoming blurred? While age is a factor, eye health issues are rising faster than ever—and they aren't just for those over 60. Conditions like dry eyes, cataracts, and macular degeneration are becoming more common across all ages.The American Optometric Association confirms that after age 60, eyes become more fragile. But many people are experiencing symptoms earlier. The standard solutions offered often only manage the symptoms without addressing the root cause of healing.What if there was a natural way to support your eyes from the inside out?Healing Through Nutrition: The Nighttime RitualThe key may lie in what you consume just before sleep. Eating specific fruits 30 to 60 minutes before bed can provide your body with critical nutrients that work to repair your eyes overnight. During deep sleep, your body enters a state of regeneration. The antioxidants, vitamins, and phytochemicals in these fruits can:Regenerate damaged photoreceptor cells.Improve blood flow to the retina.Help slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration.Don't expect overnight miracles, but many report noticeably improved clarity and comfort after just a few nights.Important First Step: Always consult an eye doctor for a proper diagnosis. This nutritional approach is meant to be a powerful complement to professional care, not a replacement.The Ultimate Pre-Sleep Eye-Health SmoothieThe most effective method is to blend the following fruits into a smoothie. Consume it within the crucial 30-60 minute window before you go to sleep.Base Ingredient: Goji BerriesStart with 2 tablespoons of dried organic goji berries. Soak them in hot water for at least 10 minutes to soften, then add them to your blender. Goji berries are renowned in traditional medicine for supporting vision and are rich in zeaxanthin and antioxidants.The Fresh Fruit BlendCombine the soaked goji berries with the following fresh fruits (all measurements are approximate for one serving):1 cup of red dragon fruit2 golden kiwis1 cup of watermelon (blend the fruit including the green rind, where many of the key nutrients are concentrated)1 cup of blackcurrants1 cup of blueberries1 cup of papayaPro Tip: For an extra boost, add a teaspoon of dark cocoa powder to the blend. It can enhance the antioxidant profile and flavor.Why This Combination WorksEach fruit brings a powerhouse of eye-specific nutrients:Goji Berries, Kiwi, & Papaya: Extremely high in Vitamin C and zeaxanthin, which protect the retina.Blueberries & Blackcurrants: Packed with anthocyanins that improve night vision and reduce eye fatigue.Watermelon (with rind) & Dragon Fruit: Rich in lycopene and other carotenoids that filter harmful blue light and fight oxidative damage.Cocoa Powder: Contains flavonoids that improve blood flow, including to the delicate vessels in the eyes.By giving your body these tools at night, you align with its natural repair cycle, offering your eyes the best chance to heal and strengthen themselves.Remember: Consistency is key. Make this nighttime smoothie a ritual, get regular check-ups, and you may be amazed at how much you can support your vision naturally.My Video:  The #1 Fruit You Should Eat Before Sleep for Healthy Eyes https://youtu.be/L0Tt6g_2Hb4My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-1-Fruit-You-Should-Eat-Before-Sleep-or-Healthy-Eyes.mp3

This is the second in our two-part series shining a light on Epstein survivors and their real-life stories. In this episode, Mark Lobel is joined by civil rights attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents many of Epstein's victims. Bloom reveals how she has recently been approached by new potential clients in the wake of the recent release of yet more documents from the Epstein Files. She calls Epstein “one of the most prolific sexual predators the world has ever seen”. She discusses why the American Justice system has not helped the powerless achieve justice against the rich and powerful. She explains how this needs to be fixed. As Mark and Lisa Order the Disorder, she outlines what justice would look like for the Epstein victims and how we as a world can improve how we acheive justice for victims of grooming and sexual abuse. Lisa proposes the concrete step of advocating for a blanket ban on the statute of limitations for sexual abuse.   To join our Mega Orderers Club, and get ad free listening, early episode releases, bonus content and exclusive access to live events, visit https://disorder.supportingcast.fm/ Producer: George McDonagh Subscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/ Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow Show Notes Links: For more on Lisa and her work visit: https://thebloomfirm.com/lawyer/lisa-bloom/  READ: Chuck Schumer's Floor Remarks Introducing Virginia's Law To Help Provide Justice For Survivors Of Abuse https://www.democrats.senate.gov/news/press-releases/leader-schumer-floor-remarks-introducing-virginias-law-to-help-provide-justice-for-survivors-of-abuse   READ: Todd Blanche says review of Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case ‘is over' https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/01/epstein-files-todd-blanche-deputy-ag  READ: Epstein files reference 'nine-year-old victim' in disturbing unredacted emails seen by lawmakers https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/unredacted-epstein-files-girl-9-mention-emails-b1270395.html  The theatrical play 'Here There are Blueberries' discussed on the show: https://www.stratfordeast.com/whats-on/all-shows/here-there-are-blueberries  READ: Melinda French Gates References a 'Reckoning as a Society' over Bill Gates Epstein Claims https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/melinda-french-gates-references-reckoning-180726489.html  You can get in touch with Mark, to host or speak at your event here: https://www.mark-lobel.com/getintouch  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by Lisa Wasko DeVetter, Ph.D., a professor of small fruit horticulture in the Department of Horticulture within the College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences. Her work focuses on applied research and extension related to small fruit production systems, with an emphasis on improving fruit quality, production efficiency and sustainability for crops such as blueberries. DeVetter reflects on the recent flooding of the Northwest, its impact on blueberry producers and the evidence-based recommendations she can make to producers if another flooding event is experienced. “Fortunately, there was enough time that elapsed between the 2021 flooding and this flood event so some of those fields that were impacted, they were either replanted because the damage was so severe or the planting was young and the grower took advantage of the opportunity just to start over with variety replacement or the field was managed and rejuvenated in such a way that it recovered. So, by the time it had this second flooding event, you know, we're not expecting kind of a double-whammy effect, if you will, from subsequent floodings from relatively close periods of time together.” – Lisa Wasko DeVetter, Ph.D. Topics covered include: An introduction to Devetter and her work. An exploration of the factors that influenced recommendations for producers that were impacted by these two major flooding events.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by Tim Miles, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences at Michigan State University, where he leads the Small Fruit and Hop Pathology Program. Miles' research focuses on the diagnosis, epidemiology and management of diseases affecting small fruit crops, with particular emphasis on blueberries and hops. He works closely with growers and industry partners to develop practical, science-based solutions that improve crop health, sustainability and productivity. “ That's probably the most impactful or rewarding thing at the end of the day, is actually diagnosing what someone has in their field and then delivering sound, science-based management recommendations to help manage that disease.” – Tim Miles, Ph.D. Topics covered include: An introduction to Miles and his work. The process and threat posed by fungicide resistance, as well as practices and options producers can use to avoid its persistence.The value of identifying specific plant pathology to target best practices and treatments.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I finally sit down with the wonderful Melissa (Mel) Clark — local legend, registered nurse, mum of twins, blueberry farmer, triathlete, ultra runner, and one of the most refreshingly honest humans you'll ever hear on a run chat.   Mel and I wander through her life (as we do), from growing up with a twin, to juggling nursing shifts, farming, family life, triathlon training, and running — often late at night with a head torch once everyone else was in bed. This is a real, unpolished conversation about what it actually looks like to keep moving through busy seasons, hormonal chaos, mum guilt, fatigue, and self-doubt.   We talk triathlons, backyard ultras, farm strength, gym hesitations (and finally joining one!), why women are tougher than we give ourselves credit for, and how learning to be kind to yourself might just be the most important training tool of all.   If you've ever felt like you should be doing more… or wondered how “everyone else” fits it all in — this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined for the fourth time by Patricio Muñoz, Ph.D., associate professor of blueberry breeding and genomics and the Endowed Chair of Horticulture Crop Breeding at the University of Florida. When he's not shaping the future of blueberry breeding, Muñoz also serves on the USHBC Council as the alternate public member. He's an experienced plant breeder with involvement in multiple crops and cultivar releases whose research focuses on creating cultivar development at a faster and more efficient pace. Muñoz also has a deep understanding of the berry global market.“The products that we are developing now … are the ones that are going to come in 5 to 10 years from now, and in that moment we need to do even more differentiation … like how do you stack them with other traits? I mean, can you make them crunchy? Yes, we can. And you'll see them soon, hopefully. Can you make them larger? Yes, we can. Can you make them healthier? Yes. Can you make different colors? Yes.” – Patricio Muñoz, Ph.D. Topics covered include: An introduction to Muñoz and his work. An exploration of the strategies and traits Muñoz and his breeding team focus on. Muñoz's perspective on global demand and emerging blueberry markets. Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), reflects on 2025 and shares some of the most impactful insights that emerged from the last season of the podcast. Common themes of interest over the last year include quality, genetics and global supply and demand.“ What's not to be excited about the blueberry industry?... I mean everything that drives consumption in an agricultural commodity, blueberries has it. Convenience, health, snackability, flavor, fun, photogenic. It's an awesome category, commodity fruit to be a part of.” – Wade Jackson“I think what's great about this industry is we have really passionate people that love what they do. Obviously, you know, you've brought a good young team in that really is trying to push this thing and convince all growers, it's the right direction to take. But I'm just most excited about the momentum we have.” – Greg WillemsEpisodes covered: Episode 199: Wade Jackson on Berry Genetics at Family Tree FarmsEpisode 200: Farming, Finance and The Future With JC Clinard of FruturaEpisode 218: Berry Business Leadership: A Conversation With Garland Reiter Jr.Episode 204: Developments in Blueberry Breeding With Paul Sandefur, Ph.D.Episode 191: Blueberry Industry Growth Drivers: Part 2 With Hector LujanEpisode 205: Innovation, Impact and International Growth: The IBO's Mission With Mario StetaEpisode 206: From Data to Decisions: AI's Role in Blueberry SuccessEpisode 197: The Impact of Genetics on Blueberry Quality With Greg WillemsCrop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by Jaclyn Bennett, general manager at Parabug, a company that's changing the game when it comes to pest management. We caught up with Bennett at The Blueberry Convention back in October. Founded in 2016, Parabug uses drone technology to enhance the efficiency and affordability of biological pest control for growers. She shares about how drone technology is being adopted in blueberry fields, the benefits growers are seeing and what's next for innovation in this space. “ What Parabug does is we apply beneficial insects with drones. So we have a proprietary mechanism that mounts to essentially an off-the-shelf ag drone. That mechanism is incredibly gentle for beneficial insects and allows for another avenue of integrated pest management to be economically viable to growers.” – Jaclyn Bennett Topics covered include: An introduction to Bennett and her work at Parabug.An exploration of the innovative technology created by Parabug and the benefits it can provide in pest management for producers.A glimpse into Parabug's next innovation.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. David Nieman, Professor in the department of biology at Appalachian State University and director of the Human Performance Laboratory. A pioneer in exercise immunology with decades of research, he discovered why marathon runners get sick after races and how to prevent it. Vikas & Dr. Nieman discussed in detail about the immune system's response to heavy training, why marathons can suppress immunity, optimal fueling strategies, and how to find your training sweet spot without falling off the overtraining cliff.Here are some key takeaways:Marathon running temporarily crashes your immune system - After a marathon, your odds of getting sick are 2-6 times higher for 1-2 weeks. The stress depletes glycogen, spikes cortisol, and creates an "open window" for viruses.Carbohydrate is your immune system's fuel - Taking in carbs before, during, and after long runs reduces inflammation by 40%. Half marathons are the safe distance - Studies show minimal immune suppression after half marathons. It's when you push beyond 90 minutes at race pace that glycogen depletion triggers immune dysfunction.Blueberries are nature's immune support - Eating a cup daily for two weeks before intense training lets polyphenols accumulate, reducing inflammation and boosting immune function.Never run through a fever - Exercising with systemic illness (fever, body aches) can trigger chronic fatigue syndrome. Take enough rest till you fully recover.Find your sweet spot - Persistent fatigue, irritability, and requiring naps are signs you're pushing too hard. Some athletes push too far and fall into a chronic fatigue state that ruins their lives for years.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), brings us back to Seattle for an episode recorded at The 2025 Blueberry Convention. He's joined by Georgia blueberry grower Alex Cornelius and dried fruit producer and processor Dominic Meduri. Cornelius shares the impact the USHBC and NABC have had on the industry, the value he finds in being involved in the convention and future efforts. Meduri provides additional perspective by reflecting on industry changes within blueberry processing. “ This is my organization and I need to be involved, and I think the American farmer needs to remember that this is our organization and that it is here for us and it benefits us. And you can't always do that from home … the NABC, the USHBC, it is here for the American farmers. Yes, it's the international businesses, but it's here to promote blueberries and it's here for us to learn.” – Alex Cornelius ”Everybody is very interested in U.S. blueberries, whether we get inquiries for fresh and frozen. You know our primary goal is to focus on dried but I think that there's still a lot of opportunities out there in a lot of different regions of the world.” – Dominic Meduri Topics covered include: A discussion of the benefits the USHBC and NABC provide producers. Opportunities for expanding the reach of the blueberry industry into dried fruit manufacturing.

Right off the bat, Nathan talks about new blueberry varieites that are both dwarf and self-fruitful, meaning if you are limited on space, you can grow these tiny blueberry plants by themselves with no need for a pollinizing partner! Then he explains the benefits of planting "bare-root" plants over winter and why spraying your plants with dormant oil in the cool months can help prevent insect and disease issues over the next growing season. Lastly, if you need to divide, thin out, or transplant hellebores, Nathan explains when and how to do it.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council, is joined by Ben Escoe, president and CEO of Twin River Berries. Twin River is a vertically integrated berry company built on a foundation of family farming and global reach. Escoe leads a network of U.S. farms and partners across Mexico, Chile and Peru, working to ensure year-round availability of high-quality blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. He was first introduced to agriculture when his father started a small organic berry operation while Escoe was studying finance in college. He recognized through that experience that “farming requires a lot of innovation” and quickly developed a passion for blueberry production.“ Success starts with our farms and with our growers. When farms succeed, we succeed. Everybody in the supply chain succeeds. … It's not all about just operating for the sake of profits. It's about building an ecosystem that works for everybody involved in genetics and markets and supply chain. Those are all tools that feed that ecosystem, and if you can make the whole system thrive, then we feel that's when you've really built something lasting.” – Ben Escoe Topics covered include: An introduction to Escoe.The beginnings and evolution of Twin River Berries and how the company has grown and expanded over time.

The October 28 edition of the AgNet News Hour tackled the global marketplace head-on, as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill examined how trade policy, retail pricing, and foreign imports continue to shape the future of California farming. From beef and blueberries to almonds and freight logistics, the hour underscored that California's agriculture industry is both resilient and under siege. The program opened with updates on the Argentine beef dispute. The hosts replayed comments from Ethan Lane of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, who discussed concerns that Argentine imports could drive down U.S. cattle prices just as producers begin recovering from pandemic-era losses. Lane emphasized that while the Trump administration's beef stabilization plan offers promise—focusing on herd rebuilding, processing expansion, and grazing access—import balance is crucial. “We can't afford to flood the market with foreign beef while our ranchers are still healing,” he said. Later in the show, Papagni caught up with Issa Kanda of FMC at the CAPCA Conference in Reno. Kanda described 2025 as “challenging but optimistic,” noting stable prices for walnuts and almonds, and a record pistachio crop. He highlighted FMC's portfolio of pest control tools for permanent crops, including Rime fungicide, which has shown 99% control of the new Red Leaf Blotch disease in almonds. “We can't let our guard down,” Kanda said. “Timing, scouting, and precision applications are everything.” At the FIRA USA Ag Automation Show in Woodland, the focus turned to innovation and labor challenges. Cameron Allison of Wild Goose Farms, a major blueberry grower from Florida, said he attended to explore automation that could offset rising labor costs. “Blueberries are still handpicked in most of the country,” Allison said. “We're racing to develop machines that can pick ripe fruit and leave the green ones. It's the next frontier.” He added that competition from Mexico and Peru continues to undercut U.S. growers, and urged stronger lobbying and retail accountability to keep domestic fruit viable. Papagni and McGill followed up with a passionate discussion on the role of retailers in the crisis. “You can't expect California farmers to compete with countries where water, labor, and safety standards are nowhere near ours,” McGill said. Papagni added that it's time for grocery chains to support domestic producers through fair pricing and seasonal sourcing campaigns. “If you can charge a premium for local or organic, you can do the same for California-grown,” he said. The hosts agreed that while foreign trade can fill seasonal gaps, the system is unbalanced. “We can't keep importing cheaper fruit and meat year-round and expect our own farmers to survive,” Papagni said. “It's not about protectionism — it's about fairness.”

Today, we're going to talk about poop shape and color, and address gut warning signs in your stool. Normal poop should be brown and sausage-shaped. Small, hard, pellet-shaped poop indicates that something may be wrong higher up in the digestive tract.Soft stool indicates that you may have some missing microbes or food allergies. Pathogens can cause loose stool as your body tries to quickly eliminate them. Unfortunately, with diarrhea and liquid stool, good bacteria are also eliminated. Consume kefir or yogurt with blackberries to restore the good bacteria in your digestive tract. Thin, pencil or cigar-shaped stool signifies a problem in the colon. This could mean the colon is impacted, you have many polyps, or there's some obstruction in the bowels. You'd want to get this checked by a medical professional.Normal stools should be brown in color. If you have a problem with your liver or you have thickened bile or bile sludge in the bile ducts, your poop will be light-colored or gray. Floating stool that is also light-colored further confirms this problem.If your problem is linked to the pancreas, your stool will have a bad odor and may appear greasy. Rarely, this could be associated with cancer, but most of the time, it is caused by an overworked pancreas. Black stool is often a sign of something more serious, usually caused by oxidized blood. Blueberries and blackberries can also cause black stool. Beets can cause your stool to appear red. Hemorrhoids can cause red stool due to fresh blood. Collinsonia root is an excellent remedy for hemorrhoids. Green stool is usually caused by chlorophyll from vegetable consumption.It's not normal to poop once every 2 to 3 days. You should have a bowel movement 1 to 2 times daily. Intermittent fasting is the most important thing you can do for your digestive tract. Frequent eating is very problematic and never allows your digestive system the chance to reset.Incomplete digestion usually results from low stomach acid. Betaine hydrochloride is the best remedy for this problem. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals and author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.
