He has performed on releases by Goo Goo Dolls, Monkey Wrench, Stationwagon, Doombuggy, and Acme Anvil Corp. He is also Terran based biped who has improperly assumed human form, as evidenced by his poor eyesight. Due to this poor vision, he smells and hears things that others don't, which can be a blessing or a curse in the confines of a recording studio. Chaz missed most of his sophomore and junior years of high school due to blindness and eye surgeries. He spent most of that period in his room with a walnut Explorer guitar, Marshall Plexi half stack, and a pile of old Electro-Harmonix pedals making sounds custom tailored to annoy his parents. Chaz currently resides in South Wales, NY, USA with his wife and studio partner Julie "JJ" Guyse where they operate Electric Owl Works, LLC which includes a residential recording studio, Rachael's Owl Music (a BMI affiliated music publishing company), and the Electric Owl Works Records indie label. They are proud to have artists of many genres from around the world. Thank you to Matt Boudreau for the introduction!

Valerie Anne Smith is a health advocate whose story highlights the transformative impact of the carnivore diet. She struggled with anorexia nervosa for over 40 years, alongside other severe mental health challenges like schizoaffective disorder, depression, and body dysmorphia. Despite various treatments—including psychiatric medications and high-carb, low-fat diets—her health continued to decline, leaving her severely underweight with a BMI of 11 for much of her adult life. In 2018, Valerie decided to try the carnivore diet, focusing on nutrient-dense foods like beef, salt, and water. This dietary change brought dramatic improvements, helping her achieve remission from both mental and physical health issues. Six years into the diet, she reported a complete transformation, leading a healthy and fulfilling life as a mother, wife, and advocate for dietary intervention in mental health recovery. Her journey has been featured in the Journal of Metabolic Health and shared through podcasts and interviews to inspire others facing similar challenges.       ✅ Website: www.thecarnivorelife.com ✅Join my PATREON for early releases, bonus content, and weekly Zoom meetings! https://www.patreon.com/AnthonyChaffeeMD ✅Sign up for our 30-day carnivore challenge and group here! https://www.howtocarnivore.com/ ✅Stockman Steaks, Australia Discount link for home delivered frozen grass-fed and grass finished pasture raised meat locally sourced here in Australia!

If you're not sure where to focus your health efforts, or you think you know the best way to address your primary concern, tune in! Have you heard about the Eight Domains of Health? Which three areas should you prioritize to make the most significant impact on your health journey? How can you tell if the changes you're making are truly working?In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn dives deep into the Eight Domains of Health, unraveling the layers of wellness that go beyond simple diet and exercise. She covers the essential systems that contribute to lasting wellness, from the intricacies of digestion as a whole-body experience to the often-overlooked role of detoxification, hormone balance, and cardiovascular health. Jenn also explains the importance of body composition, cognitive health, and the crucial need for quality sleep to create a foundation for healthy aging. Whether you're looking to prioritize these domains or are wondering if your efforts are paying off, Jenn provides practical insights and tips for creating a balanced health journey. She also highlights the three key domains to focus on as you begin your wellness journey. OH! And don't miss next week's episode on epigenetic testing, where she'll discuss how to determine your biological age!The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [02:38] Exploring the 8 Domains of Health[07:32]  Digestion - the whole body experience[12:16] Toxins need to go[19:39] Endocrine System: what are our hormones up to[25:07] Weight and body composition: is BMI BS[30:34] Fitness: how it helps determine longevity[35:53] Cardiovascular health: it's plumbing, electrical, circulation and oxygenation throughout the body[40:29] Cognitive Function - Let's think about it[43:06] Sleep - Don't underestimate it. Stress disrupts all eight domains of health[47:08] How should you tackle this pyramid of “Domains” [1:00:45] Right before Thanksgiving, Nutrition Nugget will be all about giving and gratitudeKEY TAKEAWAYS: Digestion is a full-body process, from your mouth to your intestines. Symptoms like bloating or indigestion reflect how well your digestive system is functioning. Lifestyle choices, including diet, affect digestion and gut health. A balanced system requires attention to all aspects of digestion.Health should be measured by body composition and muscle strength, not BMI. Lean muscle and balanced fat are better indicators of health. Nutrition, blood sugar balance, sleep, stress management, and fitness support a healthy body composition and overall wellness.Muscle mass and fitness are critical for longevity, supporting joint health, balance, and resilience. Strength training reduces joint strain and boosts cardiovascular and brain health. A well-rounded fitness routine, including strength, aerobic, and balance exercises, is essential for health and independence as we age.Sleep is essential for overall health, serving as the "ultimate biohack" for body and mind. Quality sleep supports detoxification, recovery, hormone balance, cognitive function, and more. Prioritizing sleep can lead to noticeable improvements across multiple areas of health, reinforcing its critical role in wellness.QUOTES: [10:14] “Christine and I have a mentor who says the road to health is paved with good intestines. Your GI tract is your immune system, nutrient absorption, and gut-brain connection.” Jenn Trepeck [12:44] “You can't age well if you can't detox well.” Jenn Trepeck[30:59] “Muscle is expensive tissue because you have to work for it. But I think your muscle mass is your longevity lever. I think the less muscle we have, the faster we age.” Jenn Trepeck[35:59] “Regarding cardiovascular health, most doctors look at cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, which are all plumbing. I think the pieces that get overlooked are the electrical pieces of the heart.” Jenn Trepeck[48:36] “We have to be willing to give the body time to respond. We didn't get here overnight. We're not going to repair it overnight.”  Jenn Trepeck[49:01] “I implore you to be willing to journal. I don't mean writing down every thought and feeling. I mean, track what you notice because often, these things will improve so unless we pause to think about it and consider it, we might not notice some of the changes happening.” Jenn Trepeck[58:50] “So the idea of putting all these things together to me is more about being able to think of the small changes we can make.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramDebunking DetoxWhere Does The Food Go To?Down and Dirty Nutrition 101Caveman Biology in a Very Modern World (Dr. Kathy Campbell)BMI is BSBrain Health and Blood Sugar

Her research program integrates human biology and anthropology, with a focus on the interaction between anatomy, physiology, evolution, and the environment. She explores the physiological and behavioral mechanisms necessary to cope with and adapt to extreme climate and physical activity. Dr. Ocobock's research is at the intersection of metabolic physiology, evolution, culture, and behavior. In this episode, we first talk about human energetics, how people adapt to extreme environments, the case of the reindeer herders from Finland, the role of the adipose tissue in metabolism, issues with BMI measurements, and sex differences in human energetics. We then explore the debate in anthropology about hunting, and whether women also participated in it, and we discuss “Man the Hunter”, evidence for women hunting, and the sexual division of labor. Finally, we talk about Drs. Ocobock and Roseman's Scientific American article, “To Understand Sex, We Need to Ask the Right Questions”. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Episode 180: Pediatric Hip PainFuture Dr. Pena-Brockett explains the differential diagnosis in a 14-year-old patient who has a new onset of left hip pain. Dr. Arreaza adds comments and explains toxic synovitis.  Written by Natalie Pena-Brockett, MSIV, California Health Sciences University. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Having a limping kid can be terrifying. Many questions may cross your mind: Is this a permanent damage? What is going on here? Where is the pain located? Do I need to send this child to the hospital? Today, hopefully, we can help you ease some of your fears. Case: This is a 14-year-old boy with no past medical history, no trauma, presents to the family medicine clinic with a complaint of left-sided hip pain. Mom notes that her son has been limping for the last week and complaining of pain in his left hip and knee when he walks. He has never experienced this pain before this week. He does not take any medications. Physical exam: He is afebrile and all of his vitals are within normal limits. On exam, you note that his BMI is at the 90th percentile (overweight), and has an antalgic gait where he is favoring the right side and has tenderness on his left groin. His left foot is turned outward while standing up straight. His left knee has negative findings on specialized tests, but he has restricted movement of the left hip. Discussion: This is a common topic that you will see on board exams or limping into your office. Although pediatric hip pain may seem like a benign musculoskeletal concern, taking the time to take a complete history and perform a thorough physical exam is critical to assess the severity of the patient's concern.Physical Exam for Pediatric Hip Pain.Observation: Every physical exam begins the moment you first see the patient. This allows you to gauge the patient's comfort level, the natural stature, length, and positioning of the patient's extremities, skin changes, gait, and ability to bear weight. Palpation: In medicine, our hands are one of our greatest tools for evaluating patients, especially those with musculoskeletal concerns. This is the time to palpate the area for any tenderness or gross deformities of the pelvis, hip, knee, or leg. Special Tests: In the world of MSK, we have all sorts of tests to evaluate the range of movement of our joints and tendons. When specifically evaluating the hip, the most common are the FABER(flexion, abduction, external rotation),test to assess the sacroiliac joint, Ober's Test to assess the iliotibial band, and Straight Leg Raise to assess for lumbar radiculopathy.Legg-Calve Perthes Disease-Legg-Calve Perthes disease is an idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. -It is most commonly observed in patients between the ages of 2-12 years and in a higher ratio of males to females 1. -It often manifests as an atraumatic limp with limited movement in abduction and internal rotation. -X-ray imaging may demonstrate a widening of the joint space and sclerosis of the femur, and MRI will confirm osteonecrosis of the femoral head. -Early diagnosis is key to minimizing the risk of developing osteoarthritis of the hip. -The goal of treatment is to maintain the shape of the femoral head and the range of motion of the hip. -The first-line treatment includes managing pain with NSAIDs, limiting weight-bearing activity, and physical therapy for range of motion.-If the disease progresses, bracing and casting can be used to retain the femoral head within the acetabulum to keep the shape and integrity of the femoral head. In more serious cases, a surgical osteotomy may be done to cut and realign the bones. Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)-Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a pediatric condition that results in unilateral or bilateral instability of the hip due to the abnormal development of the acetabulum or femur. -This is most commonly seen in newborns, especially those which develop in a breech position. -These patients often present with a shortened leg or asymmetric gluteal creases and a Trendelenburg gait when walking. -The Trendelenburg gait is an abnormal gait caused by weak hip abductor muscles. The person's trunk shifts over the affected hip during the stance phase of walking and away from it during the swing phase, making it look like the person is missing steps or limping. -On physical exam, hip joint laxity can be evaluated with the Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers to apply pressure to the proximal femur to assess dislocatability of the hip joints. These maneuvers would both be considered positive if a “clunk” is felt over the hip as this means that the hip is dislocated with pressure. Due to the patient's age usually being under 6 months old, ultrasound is the most common imaging modality to confirm the diagnosis, otherwise, an X-ray can be used. -The treatment in patients under 18 months old, a Pavlik Harness is often used to treat patients to maintain the placement of the hip within the acetabulum. -Patients between the ages of 18 months and 9 years old, are most often treated with open or closed reduction of the hip. -There is generally less success in reduction treatment of children older than 9 years old as they have likely developed femoral head deformities and are at greater risk of osteonecrosis. -Children with DDH should continue to be monitored with regular imaging to evaluate for complications. These patients should also be made aware that they are also at increased risk of requiring a hip replacement, especially if their treatment included a reduction. 2Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)-Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is one of the most common pediatric hip pathologies in which the capital femoral epiphysis is anterolaterally displaced from the femoral neck. -Although slightly more common in males than females between the ages of 10 to 16, the greatest risk factor for an SCFE is childhood obesity 3. -Common symptoms include an insidious onset of unilateral hip pain and a change in gait due to the displacement of the hip from the acetabulum. In some instances of chronic SCFE, some patients will experience ipsilateral knee pain due to compensation. -A SCFE can be evaluated with an AP radiograph which will demonstrate a widened physis in the early stages or the classic “slipped ice cream cone sign” which is the posterior displacement of the femoral epiphysis. -Management of a SCFE includes limiting weight-bearing activities as well as screw fixation by an orthopedic surgeon to stabilize the hip.Patients should consider pinning the contralateral hip due to increased risk of developing a future SCFE. Early diagnosis is critical as untreated SCFE can lead to osteonecrosis.Osgood-Schlatter-Osgood-Schlatter is a repetitive-use pediatric condition as a result of traction to the growth plate of the tibial tubercle. -This pathology is most common in male children between the ages of 9 to 14 years old 4. -Active athletes or children with rapid growth spurts are at greater risk of developing Osgood-Schlatter than non-active children.-These children often present with an achy knee pain that can lead to a unilateral limping gait.  On physical exam, these patients often have a bony prominence over the tubercle that is tender to palpation with greater tenderness over the patellar tendon. -The knee will have full range of motion and stability, but will likely have a warmth and erythema over the knee.  Imaging of the knees can have nonspecific findings and diagnosis is made clinically. -For management, it is recommended that children continue their regular activities and rest with NSAIDs for pain management as needed 5. Physical therapy can be prescribed to prevent deconditioning as this can result in recurrence or additional injuries.Arreaza: It seems like the pain is more localized to the knee, but it can be referred to the hip. If you have tenderness on the tibial tubercle, you got the diagnosis. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)-Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a systemic rheumatologic condition in children that often presents as a polyarticular pain. The onset of disease is often bimodal with peaks between 2 to 5 years old and 10 to 14 years old. 6-Patients will often complain of minor symmetric joint pain and stiffness until an infection causes an inflammatory reaction that exacerbates the joint pain or can increase joint involvement. Small joints are the most likely to be involved, but hips and knees can also be affected. -Lab evaluation will demonstrate inflammation with an elevated ESR, low hemoglobin, and a positive ANA. -Disease management starts with NSAIDS for pain control and can escalate to immunosuppressive measures for moderate disease7.Toxic Synovitis-Toxic synovitis, also known as transient synovitis, is the leading cause of acute hip pain and limping in children aged 2–12, more commonly affecting boys. -This self-limited inflammatory condition, often confused by its name as "toxic," has no relation to a toxic state. It typically arises after an upper respiratory or other viral infection (e.g., rubella or coxsackie virus).-Children with toxic synovitis may show mild to moderate hip pain, limp, and keep their hip in abduction and external rotation. Movement is usually possible within a limited range, and weight-bearing is often maintained.-Evaluation: A thorough history and physical exam are key, as laboratory tests like CBC, ESR, and CRP are often normal, mainly used to rule out other conditions like septic arthritis. X-rays typically show no abnormalities, although small changes may appear. Ultrasound can help detect joint effusion and rule out septic arthritis if no effusion is present.Arreaza: DDX: DDH, SCFE, Osgood Schlatter, and toxic synovitis.Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Pediatric Hip PathologiesSacroiliac Articulatory Technique- this is a technique in which you move the joint into an out of its barrier to reduce restriction and improve movementCounterstrain of Tender points (psoas, piriformis, hip adductors)- in this technique we shorten the muscle to decrease tension.  This allows the muscle to increase blood lymphatic flow to reduce nociceptive and proprioceptive activity of the muscleBalanced Ligamentous Tension of the Innominate- with this technique, we manipulate the joint in a way that moves the ligaments into neutral position so that there is balance in all planes of motion.  The goal is to again release tension within the muscles and the jointClinical Decision Making Now that we have covered the most common differential diagnoses for pediatric hip pain, let's revisit our patient presentation and identify the key characteristics to determine which diagnosis he most likely has.The patient is 14 years old.  This makes DDH and Legg-Calve Perthe less likely, and SCFE more likely.He has been complaining of symptoms for 1 week, which indicates that is not likely a chronic condition. This makes DDH and Osgood-Schlatter less likely.The patient has never experienced joint pain like this before.  This makes JIA, DDH, and Osgood-Schlatter less likely.The patient is overweight. This makes SCFE more likely.The unilateral hip tenderness and no knee pain.      This makes Osgood-Schlatter and JIA less likely.The patient has antalgic gait and limited internal rotation of the foot. This makes Legg-Calve Perthes and SCFE more likely. Now when we take the epidemiological factors, the history of the present illness, and the physical exam findings into account, this patient's presentation best aligns with a SCFE. We would order a bilateral AP and Frog-leg views of the hips. If either imaging shows a widened physis or the classic “ice cream cone sign”, this is when we would start the referral process for an orthopedic surgery consultation for internal fixation. As family medicine physicians, we would give instructions for strict non-weight bearing activities and analgesics or anti-inflammatories for pain management.Keep in mind some of the DDX: Calve Legg-Perthes disease, Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Osgood Schlatter, toxic synovitis, and Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE). Hopefully, the next time you have a pediatric patient present with a complaint of hip pain, you'll feel more comfortable evaluating and working up the case._________________________This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Natalie Pena-Brockett.

Have you ever wondered if the pouch reset diet is a good idea or too extreme? In today's episode, Dr. Edmund Chen joins us to break down the myths and misconceptions surrounding pouch reset diets in bariatric surgery. Dr. Chen dives into why quick-fix approaches can be dangerous and emphasizes the importance of building healthy eating habits and staying in touch with your healthcare team. Together, we discuss the goals you should focus on—like non-scale victories and realistic milestones—and why BMI alone doesn't define your health. This conversation is all about redefining success and staying positive on your journey! IN THIS EPISODE: [:29] Check out the BariNation online membership community.  [2:30] Is the pouch reset diet a good idea or too extreme? [5:23] Going back to the basics of tracking and measuring your food. [7:17] Faithfully using the Bari Good Day Checklist found in the BariNation community to stay on track. [9:21] Talk to your healthcare provider when you have a concern. [12:50] Dr. Chen gives the listener advice on this chronic disease.  KEY TAKEAWAYS: Pouch reset diets are not a healthy approach to eating. They mimic the highly restrictive calorie intake of the initial one to two weeks after surgery, which is not sustainable or balanced long-term. Consistent healthy eating habits and regular exercise will help you achieve your weight loss goals. Being mindful of what you eat and making nutritious food choices will significantly affect your overall well-being. Many people let their emotions trigger unnecessary panic about their progress. Instead, focus on setting realistic goals and lean into support from the BariNation community. If you're feeling discouraged, contact your medical provider—they can guide you through the steps needed for your unique situation.

This was such an amazing conversation I had with my friend Naihomy Jerez who is a health/hormone coach on her WELLTHY GENERATION podcast. I had to share this episode with you because it is THAT GOOD. If you're struggling with being attached to the scale and not knowing where to start for strength training, this one's for ya. See below for the notes from Naihomy :)In this episode, I'm sitting down with the amazing @superlysam, a health coach who's redefining weight loss for women of color. Samantha isn't here for the usual diet culture noise - instead, she's all about embracing cultural foods, challenging outdated metrics like BMI, and creating a space where our diverse bodies are fully understood and celebrated.We talk about the complicated relationship many of us have with the scale and how it can get in the way of enjoying life's big moments, like vacations and family time. Samantha shares her thoughts on why strength training can be a game-changer for women's health and explains how to ease into it, starting with simple moves that build confidence and strength.This episode goes deep, touching on the emotional and cultural hurdles that can make prioritizing self-care challenging for women of color. Samantha shares her own journey, including how she's brought healthier habits into her family and is breaking generational cycles of unhealthy patterns. From setting realistic, lasting goals to embracing wellness as a lifelong practice, Samantha's story is here to inspire you to rewrite your health narrative in a way that's true to you.

In this fourth episode of the series, we are joined by José del R. Millán. Dr. Millán is a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, where he runs the Clinical Neuroprosthetics and Brain Interaction Lab and holds the Linda Steen Norris & Lee Norris Endowed Chair in Neuroengineering in the Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is also a professor in the Department of Neurology at Dell Medical School, co-director of the UT CARE Initiative and associate director of Texas Robotics. Dr. Millán has made several seminal contributions to the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMI), especially non invasive EEG-based BCIs. Many of his achievements revolve around the design of brain-controlled robots. While his work prioritizes the translation of BMI to people who live with motor and cognitive disabilities, he is also designing BMI technology to offer new interaction modalities for able-bodied people that augment their abilities. In this episode, we discuss various elements of Dr. Millán's work, including neuroplasticity and brain signaling as a skill, noninvasive EEG-based mobile robots, VR-based neurorehabilitation, BCI-controlled wheelchairs and exoskeletons, telerobotic surgery, enhancing human driving capabilities with BCI technology, the importance of 'shared control' between human and machine, integrating AI and machine learning with brain-computer interfaces, and the evolution of non-invasive BCIs towards sleeker, more user-friendly designs.

“This is love in its most radical form. By contemplating the pierced side of Christ, we can understand the starting-point of this Encyclical Letter: “God is love”. It is there that this truth can be contemplated. It is from there that our definition of love must begin. In this contemplation the Christian discovers the path along which his life and love must move.” Deus Caritas Est, or “God is Love,” was the first encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI, released on December 25, 2005. This letter focuses on the nature of Christian love, particularly examining the relationship between God's love for humanity and the love Christians are called to show others. Benedict grounds his reflections in Scripture and tradition, aiming to clarify misunderstandings about Christian love in a contemporary world marked by both cynicism and sentimentality. In this first part, titled “The Unity of Love in Creation and in Salvation History,” Benedict explores two distinct yet intertwined dimensions of love, eros and agape, arriving at the newness which biblical faith brings to man's understanding of love—a new understanding that finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the incarnate love of God.

While there is an abundance of historical, psychological, physical, and even scientific and medical evidence of the benefits of taking one day off each week to completely rest, the vast majority of people—especially in our modern Western world—fight against this rhythm that God rooted into creation.We're like three-year-olds fighting a nap—knowing we're exhausted but refusing to accept God's pathway to rest. Maybe one of the biggest reasons we fight against it—especially as followers of Jesus—is that we don't truly understand the "why" behind Sabbath rest. And that's what we will reframe in this message, week two of our series, Reframing Rest.Click here for Jeff's Message Notes.Click here for Small Group Discussion Questions.________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

We continue World Tour November with music about a location I've actually been to. It's on the list as being one of the seven natural wonders of the world.  If you've ever visited that big hole in the ground in the southwestern United States, sometimes words escape you. That's why we have composers like Ferde Grofe who skillfully describes the wonder through the lens of black notes on a white sheet of paper. I have been absolutely mesmerized by this album since I found it, especially since the five-movement suite depicts two of my favorite moments on that side trip. Which is why I'm playing the tunes out of order. So get ready to hear music as big, bold and beautiful as the scenery it was written about in Volume 202: Grand Canyon. More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Andre Kostelanetz And His Orchestra – Grand Canyon Suite Featuring On The Trail Label: Columbia – CL 716 Format: Vinyl, LP, Mono Released: 1955 Genre: Classical Style: Modern Composed by Ferde Grofé On The Trail The Painted Desert Sunset Sunrise I do not own the rights to this music.

This episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers, Bon Charge, and Lumebox.  We know that perimenopause brings a host of symptoms for women entering this stage of life. These symptoms can disrupt sleep, affect mental health, and cause weight gain, often leading to a decreased quality of life. Today's guest shares insights from her nutritional research to help women reduce these symptoms' impact and feel empowered through this transition. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Sarah Berry to discuss a recent study led by her team on the impact of diet in reducing common symptoms for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Dr. Berry shares the most commonly reported symptoms and the lifestyle factors contributing to them. She also explains the research behind why muscle mass serves as a protective barrier during this stage of life and discusses the role of blood sugar and a healthy gut microbiome in managing symptoms. Dr. Sarah Berry is a Professor at King's College London and has run more than 35 human nutrition studies. Notably, she is the Chief Scientist at ZOE, the science and nutrition company. She's the lead nutritional scientist for the ZOE PREDICT study — the world's largest in-depth nutritional research program and leads research across menopause, microbiome, and sleep. She's often featured as a guest on ZOE's own podcast, ZOE Science and Nutrition.

In today's podcast episode, we are going to look at a condition called gluteal tendinopathy, which is a common cause of lateral hip pain due to an irritation of two of the gluteal tendons (gluteus medius & gluteus minimus).  Previously, this type of pain was thought to be caused by trochanteric bursitis, but more recent research has shown that bursitis only accounts for approximately 20% of these cases (see references below). The majority of lateral hip pain cases are now thought to be due to gluteal tendinopathy or irritation of the gluteal tendons where they attach on the side of the hip (greater trochanter).  Risk factors for developing gluteal tendinopathy include: female gender (4:1 female to male ratio), increased body mass index (BMI), excessive hip adduction during walking/running, prolonged hip flexion (sitting) and weak hip abductors muscles (especially gluteus medius and minimus).  Treatment of this disorder is similar to other tendinopathies in that the focus is on gradually loading and strengthening the gluteal tendons via resistance training exercises that target the hip abductor muscles. These types of exercises not only improve the working capacity of the muscles and their tendons, but also help reduce tendon pain.  My YouTube video below includes a a few exercises that typically help people suffering from gluteal tendinopathy. YouTube Link Here are a couple of articles that you can read to learn more about this disorder. 1. Long SS, Surrey DE, Nazarian LN. Sonography of greater trochanteric pain syndrome and the rarity of primary bursitis. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2013;201(5):1083-1086.  2. Pianka MA, Serino J, DeFroda SF, Bodendorfer BM. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome: Evaluation and management of a wide spectrum of pathology. SAGE Open Med. 2021.  3. Ladurner A, Fitzpatrick J, O'Donnell JM. Treatment of Gluteal Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review and Stage-Adjusted Treatment Recommendation. Orthop J Sports Med. 2021;9(7):23259671211016850. I hope the information in this episode was helpful and you feel better equipped to treat gluteal tendinopathy related pain. Besides the YouTube video I linked, my book contains comprehensive programs for the 50 most common orthopedic conditions, including one for gluteal tendinopathy. The programs are broken into three phases and include exercises that can be used to help prevent injuries as well as help you recover from an injury.
