Beau Martonik sits down with Joel Burham of Whitetail Fit, who moved to Iowa, got his residency, turned down an invite to a phenomenal private farm, and hunted public ground and only public ground for the whole season to see what it would teach him. They get into the full self-filming rig Joel runs out of a saddle, the buck he figured at 160 that he had broadside at 20 yards and lost to the camera, the two public land giants he found that will never show up in a video, and what happened when he came to full draw on a three-and-a-half-year-old and let down. Joel also lays out the only test he uses to decide whether a deer is worth his tag, which has nothing to do with a score. Also covered: starting from zero with no hunting family, three miles deep on Kansas public on the last day of a 10-day hunt, hiring his brother as a cameraman and then telling him he'd outgrown the job, and why time is the one thing in hunting you can't shortcut. 00:00:00 — Intro 00:07:09 — Starting with no hunting family 00:12:04 — First deer off a lawn chair 00:15:22 — Where "Whitetail Fit" came from 00:19:57 — Three miles deep on Kansas public 00:22:16 — How fitness changes your access 00:38:13 — What this job really looks like 00:47:49 — The 160 at 20 yards he passed 00:58:28 — Hiring his brother, then letting go 01:11:16 — Self-filming rig for a saddle 01:16:38 — Bodies, lenses, and low light 01:29:56 — Arm height, ISO, shutter speed 01:39:10 — Iowa public land only 01:46:57 — The bucks that never made the film 01:49:56 — Pressure and older deer 01:54:43 — The 190 and a wind switch 02:01:29 — Full draw, then let down 02:10:00 — What makes you grab your bow 02:19:34 — Where to find Whitetail Fit ⁠Joel's IG: https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_fit/ Whitetail Fit YT: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitetailFit Instagram:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@eastmeetswesthunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠East Meets West Outdoors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Hunting Gear and Apparel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: Beau Martonik - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Discounts and Affiliate Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/partners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Amazon Influencer Page ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Twelve years of practice, and one of the worst nights of his life, met in the same body. In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Oliver Lehne, an actor, playwright, and Ziva meditator she's known for over twelve years. Oliver came to meditation, by his own admission, to impress people. He arrived anxious, low on self-esteem, and constantly deferring to everyone else's opinion. What's emerged since is a man who trusts himself enough to create from that trust, including a play that landed a London producer within days of one conversation. Oliver and Emily trace his path from meditation into embodied manifesting, and he shares the exact phrase that came through in his first real pleasure prayer, one he still writes in his journal every morning. He also opens up about the night his husband had a brain injury on Christmas Eve, and how the steadiness he'd built over a decade of practice carried him through it. In this episode, Oliver explores: Why he first came to meditation to impress people, and what he found underneath that What adaptation energy is, and why running out of it launches the body into fight or flight How surrender changed the way he shows up with his own parents Why visualizing was always the hardest part of manifesting, and how feeling replaced picturing The shift from performing his emotions as an actor to simply letting them move The mantra that came through in his second pleasure prayer, and why he still journals it daily How his play found a London producer within two days of one conversation The night his husband had a brain injury on Christmas Eve, and the steadiness that carried him through Why he believes meditation and manifesting compound each other Key Moments: 00:33 – Life before Ziva: anxiety and chronic people-pleasing 05:08 – Why he first came to meditation: wanting to impress people 09:52 – Adaptation energy, defined 12:59 – How surrender changed his relationship with his parents 16:31 – The embodied manifesting formula: visualize, alchemize, magnetize 20:03 – Permission over performance 24:12 – The pleasure prayer that gave him his daily mantra 27:02 – How his play found a London producer in two days 31:06 – His husband's brain injury on Christmas Eve 34:09 – The miracle: walking out of the hospital alone 36:33 – His invitation to anyone still on the fence

Animals everywhere again this week, it must be summer! Along with our silly stories, we also reviewed three excellent books! Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden Fabulous Bodies by Chuck Tingle Mudlark by Mary Helen Specht

In the headlines today, we have updates on the horrifying murders two Russian siblings and a Thai family of three in Chon Buri, unfortunately the homicide news doesn't end there as a jealous Chinese man in Chiang Mai and a local Phuket woman both commit horrendous acts of violence against family members, then, a bizarre case of an alleged pilot becoming homeless in Bangkok gets clarification from the airline he was supposedly employed by, also in Bangkok, the city is consulting the public over Petrol Tuk Tuk restrictions in the city, and finally a little palette cleanser for you in the form of my trip to the Ubon Ratchatani Candle festival that was held over the weekend, which has been chosen by the Tourism Authority of Thailand for a new promotion pilot.

If you're the woman who has her career, her relationships, and her life together on paper but still feels completely betrayed by her body, this one's for you. I'm breaking down the five most common (and most undersung) traps I see high-achieving, go-getter women fall into again and again after coaching women through this for over a decade: perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking, vague fitness strategies that feel like effort but produce zero real data, guilt for wanting your body to match the rest of your life, the never-ending fat loss deficit that quietly wrecks your metabolism, and the tendency to overcomplicate simple problems with expensive, intense protocols instead of the basics. None of these are about willpower or motivation — they're about the specific mental and logistical patterns that keep smart, driven women stuck in bodies they resent. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not seeing results, or felt guilty for wanting more when everything else in your life is going so well, I want you to hear this one. Share it with the friend who's stuck in the loop.     Fitness, health, and holistic wellness for $22/month Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?

A former funeral director has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his failure to bury and cremate dozens of bodies. Also: Italy has announced it's suspending its open borders agreement with Spain after thousands of migrants crossed into the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta. And a senior adviser to the Fifa boss Gianni Infantino resigns as opposition mounts to his plan to sell off stakes in football competitions.

The history of sports in Turkey is deeply contested. Over the decades, journalists, pundits, non-professional historians, sports scholars, and everyday people have offered competing narratives about the origins of modern sports in the late Ottoman Empire.  In The Ottoman World of Sports: Refashioning Bodies, Men, and Communities in Late Imperial Istanbul (University of Texas Press, 2026), Murat Cihan Yıldız tells the story of how Istanbul's Muslims, Christians, and Jews—gymnastics teachers, football coaches, weightlifters, journalists, athletes, and fans—created a gendered and class-stratified civic project that promoted athletics as a source of fun, beauty, and moral education. Influenced by the emerging global vogue for organized sports, all boys from the expanding middle class of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century imperial capital were expected to exercise and compete on the playing field in order to develop into moral men. Yet even as the embrace of modern athletics transcended ethnoreligious divisions, it did not erase them. Drawing on a wide range of archival research in multiple languages, Yıldız shows that sportsmen created new communal boundaries in team affiliations, fandom, and sports media. Adeptly reconstructing Istanbul's imperial culture as it was experienced more than a century ago, The Ottoman World of Sports recovers a lived imperial culture whose defining features were shaped by its multiethnic, multireligious, and multilingual sportsmen.

Send us Fan MailThere is a LOT of camera gear out there. Bodies, lenses, bags, tripods, filters, memory cards, drones, studio lights — and it can feel like you need to spend thousands of pounds before you've earned the right to call yourself a photographer. You don't. Not even close. In this episode I cut through all of it and tell you exactly what a beginner photographer actually needs, what can wait, and what you can safely ignore entirely.

Pastor Joel explores the pattern of Old Testament priestly service before leading us to Hebrews, where Jesus is revealed as our Great High Priest. Discover how Christ's finished work calls us to a daily response of worship, surrender, and devotion as we offer our bodies to God as living sacrifices.

Tall women are less likely to fit into the traditional image of femininity. It's common for us to be called masculine because of our height and naturally larger features, since being tall and bigger are things associated with masculinity. And then on top of that, it's a bit of a struggle to physically present ourselves in a feminine way, meaning when clothes like dresses, shoes, or even skirts aren't available in our size or length. But that's a topic for a different day. But a common thing that we hear in the tall girly community, whether or not they like their height, is that they want to be or feel smaller. Some outright say that they wish that they were shorter. Others say that they want to feel small and petite and protected next to their male partners. Either way, it all ties back to wanting to feel or be smaller. In today's episode, we're talking about the obsession with being smaller, how it ties into femininity, and why some tall women desire to be smaller when really, they desire to feel feminine.

Casey joins us to talk about his newest film "Home Bodies" Fresh off its world preimere at Fantasia Festival.

Dr. Joy sits down with neuropsychologist Dr. Tanisha Hill-Jarrett, assistant professor at UCSF's Memory and Aging Center, to talk through what brain health means, why it's broader than mental health alone, and the daily habits that support it: cardiovascular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, stress management, social connection, and quality sleep. They dig into what our phones are doing to us. Dr. Hill-Jarrett breaks down how short-form video triggers a bigger dopamine response than a typical reward, why the unpredictability of a feed keeps us scrolling, and what that means for sleep, attention span, and memory. She shares her own strategies, including separate personal and professional Instagram accounts and the Pomodoro method for resetting focus without reaching for a screen. The conversation turns to her research on Black women and Alzheimer's disease. Black Americans face 1.5 to 2 times the risk of white Americans, and Black women carry the highest projected prevalence of any group, a gap that shows up even among women who are upwardly mobile, largely tied to the neighborhoods they live in. Dr. Hill-Jarrett also unpacks weathering, the term coined by Arlene Geronimus for the accelerated biological aging that Black women experience, and points to research showing Black women's telomeres suggest they are roughly seven and a half years biologically older than white women at the same age. She closes with her current work on Afrofuturism and hopefulness, including a 10-week workshop where participants imagined a future free of time scarcity and reported feeling more hopeful about shaping what comes next. Her advice for anyone worried it's too late to protect their brain: it never is.

Episode Description:Have you ever made a comment about someone's body without realizing your kids were listening? Maybe it was a comment about weight loss, a “good” or “bad” food, or how someone “shouldn't eat that.”In this episode, we are talking about why it's time to stop talking about people's bodies — including our own. As a mom and Registered Dietitian, I'm sharing my own journey of realizing that controlling my kids' food choices wasn't creating the healthy relationship with food I wanted for them.We'll talk about the messages kids are hearing, the impact of diet culture at home, and simple ways we can shift the conversation to help our kids feel confident, capable, and connected to their own bodies.Follow us on INSTAGRAM @dailydietitianrd

A few months ago, I asked you about your health and training. And almost all of you said some version of the same thing: "I feel like I'm doing all the right things... so why isn't it working?"You're training. You're walking. You're eating protein. You're trying to tick all the boxes.And yet you still feel stuck.You're tired from thinking about training. You're carrying the mental load of trying to get it right.The food.The workouts.The steps.The supplements.The sleep.The recovery.And somewhere along the way, you've lost clarity.In this EP, we're talking about the final layers of the Training Hierarchy:Exposure. Adaptation. Recovery.Because your bod doesn't change during training.She changes afterwards.And if you're not getting the results you want, it's often not because you're not trying.It's because the adaptation cycle isn't being completed.This episode will help you understand why.What You'll Learn In This EpisodeWhy most women are exhausted by the mental load of training. The difference between:TrainingRecoveryAdaptationThe complete adaptation cycle:StimulusDisruptionRecoveryAdaptationWhy repeated exposure is required to build strength, muscle and body compositionThe biggest mistake women make with programs and exercise selectionWhy constantly changing workouts is sabotaging your resultsWhat progressive overload actually meansThe six pillars that drive training success:ConsistencyTechniqueProgrammingPresenceMindsetPainWhy recovery is far more than taking a rest dayThe "overcooked pasta" analogy and what it teaches us about modern lifeHow to find your training "sweet spot"Key TakeawaysYour body adapts after training, not during it.One workout creates a signal. Repeated exposure creates change.Novelty feels like progress. Exposure creates progress.Most women leave a program just as adaptation is beginning.Recovery isn't a day off. Recovery is a state.The goal isn't doing more. The goal is finding your sweet spot.Effort doesn't build the body you want. Strategy does.Powerful Quotes“Most of you aren't tired from training. You're tired from thinking about training.”“Your body doesn't adapt during training. She adapts after.”“Novelty is not progress. Progressive exposure is progress.”“Recovery isn't a day.

Davina McCall: Why We've Forgotten How To Trust Our Bodies In Birth - with Davina McCall Becoming a mother changes everything. But what if the stories we've been told about birth aren't the whole truth? In this week's episode, I'm joined by the incredible Davina McCall for a powerful conversation about pregnancy, birth, motherhood and learning to trust ourselves in a world that often tells women to do the opposite. Davina shares her honest experiences of pregnancy, why she actually loved giving birth, the mindset shifts that transformed her labour experience, and why birth isn't simply one day- it's something that can shape how we step into motherhood for years to come. We talk about fear, empowerment, body trust, positive birth stories, and why women deserve better information, support and confidence as they prepare to meet their babies. Whether you're pregnant, planning a family or reflecting on your own birth experiences, this is a conversation that will leave you feeling stronger, more informed and deeply reassured. If you'd like some help thinking through your options and creating a birth plan that truly reflects your preferences, I've linked a great Aptaclub birth plan PDF which you can download and read more here: https://www.midwifepip.com/post/whatdavinamccalltaughtusaboutpositivebirth.

Movement isn't a distraction from learning—it's one of the ways children learn best. In this conversation, Ginny sits down with educator and author Mike Huber to explore why rough-and-tumble—or "whole body"—play is one of childhood's most misunderstood and essential experiences. Drawing from decades of classroom experience and research, Mike explains how movement helps children develop self-regulation, social awareness, empathy, confidence, and even the ability to focus and learn. Together, they unpack the difference between healthy risk and hidden hazards, why today's children often lack meaningful agency over their own movement, and how physical play teaches kids to read nonverbal cues, build trust, assess risk, and strengthen friendships. They also discuss why fidgeting and movement are often signs that the brain is trying to regain focus—not evidence that a child isn't paying attention. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this episode offers a compelling case for embracing movement instead of suppressing it—and practical encouragement for raising children who are confident, capable, and deeply connected to both their bodies and the world around them.

Post on patreon for patrons only for 6 months: We tackle the deepest mystery surrounding the ancient bog bodies: why were people ritually killed and deposited in bogs for millennia? Were they targets of murder, execution, or sacrifice? We analyze the long and tense debate over Britain's most famous bog body, Lindow Man, who met a brutal end in a bog in Northwest England in the 1st century AD, and in so doing, we refute the accident and criminal-murder (or “Iron-Age mugging”) theories. We carefully dissect the notion of the “threefold death,” which purports to link bog bodies like Lindow Man to ancient Celtic gods and myths. Finally, we explore the more difficult and nuanced question of whether bog killings were primarily executions or sacrifices, weighing evidences ranging from preserved last meals to manicured nails to Julius Caesar's macabre account of the “Wicker Man” sacrifice in ancient Gaul. Finally, we return to Lindow Moss, and consider the possibility that Lindow Man's death was a desperate wartime measure to combat the Roman advance.

Bodies decay. So how can the dead possibly be raised? In 1 Corinthians 15:35–49, Paul points to the seed in the ground: what is sown is not what is raised. The same body — but imperishable, glorious, and infused with the Spirit of God.

Sci-Fi Subgenres: Parallel Dimension / Botanical HorrorA xenobiologist lands on a parallel Earth where flora became the dominant predatory force, developing complex root systems that act as neurological traps. The plants emit hallucinogenic spores that paralyze victims, allowing the roots to burrow into the host's nervous system and puppet their bodies.

Dr. Cristine Hull is an integrative mental health practitioner, author, and developer of the Zero Point Meridian technique. With a Master's in Psychology and a Ph.D. in Natural Medicine, she brings over two decades of experience as a substance abuse counselor, school psychologist, and private practitioner. Drawing from her own journey through depression, anxiety, addiction, and a profound spiritual awakening, Cristine works at the intersection of brain chemistry, energy medicine, and the quantum field. She is the creator of the Four Bodies model and trains practitioners in tools that address the physical, vital, mental, and quantum levels of healing. Based in northern Utah, she continues to teach, write, and guide people toward deeper wholeness through her work at Health, Healing & Wholeness.In this episode, Cristine and I cover a wide-ranging conversation that moves from brain chemistry and addiction into spiritual awakening, energy medicine, and what real healing actually requires.Cristine shares her personal journey through severe depression, anxiety, and substance use, and how those experiences led her into decades of work as a counselor and integrative practitioner. She introduces her Four Bodies model (physical, vital, mental, and quantum) and explains why most lasting change has to address more than just the physical level. The conversation explores sugar as part of the narcotic continuum, the difference between dopamine and endorphin addiction, the spiral of recovery she developed while teaching in a jail, and the powerful spiritual experience she had on Yom Kippur that shifted everything. We also dig into entities and generational energy, the development of her Zero Point Meridian technique, the “neutral game” for quieting the mental body, and why conventional mental health often falls short with personality disorders and chronic pain. Cristine closes by pointing back to the deeper truth underneath the endorphin chase: capital-L Love.Timestamps0:00 – Elevator pitch / “junkyard love” framing and four bodies intro1:30 – Four Bodies for Medicines ebook and physical vs. vital/mental/quantum3:00 – Wind analogy for spirit/effects on the physical body4:30 – Personal history: chemical imbalance, depression, anxiety, substances6:30 – First career in substance-abuse counseling; self-medication insight8:00 – Serotonin, carbs, Potatoes Not Prozac, wheat sensitivity discovery9:30 – Endorphins as “inner orphan” / morphine parallel; sugar as narcotic continuum11:00 – Dopamine vs. endorphins; cocaine, bipolar diagnosis, mastering the middle path13:00 – Love addiction, romantic craving, spiral model (abstinence → moderation → attainment)15:00 – Jail curriculum development; 20 years clean vs. relationship patterns still unresolved16:30 – Yom Kippur night/boyfriend breakup; Day of Atonement context18:00 – Light shaft experience through the crown/spine; “whole and complete through divine connection”19:30 – Kundalini as vital-body tool (chakras, meridians, aura)21:00 – Growing up Christian, leaving religion, seeking freedom from guilt and pain22:30 – Cocaine phase; friend returning from overdose funeral; entity/attachment theory24:30 – “Perverse energy” (Quantum University language); generational clearing26:00 – First Kundalini session clearing grandfather's heavy emotion27:30 – EFT training (2002–2003, Gary Craig); shift to private practice29:00 – Zero Point Meridian (ZPM) development; claimed superiority data vs. EMDR31:00 – Mental body chaos of positive/negative thinking; neutrality / “neutral game”34:00 – Yoga entry via client accountability + Baron Baptiste Journey into Power36:00 – Gap between stimulus and response; mind-body necessity of yoga37:30 – TM interest; Vipassana documentary (Doing Time, Doing Vipassana)39:00 – Mahasati movement meditation; fear that stillness = non-existence / black hole41:00 – Moving through zero; zero-point field → unified field; John Hagelin / Frank Kinslow52:00 – Limits of conventional mental health on personality disorders (narcissism, borderline, ego structures)54:00 – Spiritual/quantum solution as transformative where pills and talk therapy fall short56:00 – Quantum Solutions Masterclass / ego-structure component57:30 – Chronic pain and the pain body (Eckhart Tolle); noticing pain-free body parts as anchors59:00 – Endorphins at quantum level = capital-L Love; closing gratitudeKEYWORDS:Four bodies model, Zero Point Meridian, ZPM technique, quantum body, vital body, endorphin continuum, sugar addiction recovery, love addiction spiral, attainment model, perverse energy, generational clearing, Yom Kippur awakening, Kundalini vital body, neutral game mindfulness, Quantum Wholeness Meditation, Love Solve Method, Frequency Formulas, personality disorder spiritual solution, pain body Eckhart Tolle, brain chemistry natural balance, EFT to ZPM evolution, Cache Valley healer, integrative mental health Utah.Checkout more Cristine here! :Website: Cristine HullYoutube - Health, Healing, & Wholeness - YouTubeInstagram - Author Cristine Hull (@cristine.author)LinkedIn - Cristine Hull PhD LinkedinFaceBook - Author Cristine Hull • FacebookQuotes from Cristine in the episode:“Love is an answer.

The trick was to realize when I was down, there was some work to do…”“Really, all that matters is that you are whole and complete through a divine connection. And you bring your whole self to it.”“I believe the person who overdosed came with her and walked through the door… this entity… attached to me.”“If we try to use the mind to correct the mind, we can get just a lot of chaos… the solution… is neutrality.”“There's not a lot in mental health and psychology to solve personality disorders… the problem is because there's not really a spiritual solution in the mental health field.”“Notice where you're not in pain - tune into even if it's your hair… their hair doesn't hurt, the tip of their nose probably doesn't hurt…”“What people are looking for in the endorphin experience is love.

What happens when performance defies social and political boundaries? Performing Transgression: Crowds and Bodies in Heian Japan (Harvard University Press, 2026) offers a new cultural history of non-elite spectacle in Heian Japan (794–1185), uncovering how performances on the margins—boisterous dengaku music and dance, daring sangaku acrobatics, and the infectious lyrics of imayō songs—challenged and fascinated the aristocracy. Ashton Lazarus reveals how these unruly arts were documented by the very elites they unsettled, appearing in historical chronicles, diaries, prose, poetry, and illustrated scrolls. More than mere precursors to later forms like noh and kyōgen, these performances formed a dynamic cultural force with real political impact. By tracing their influence through literary studies, performance studies, and historiography, Lazarus rethinks the interplay between politics, class, and culture in Heian Japan. Performing Transgression illuminates how acts of defiance and creative expression resonate across time, offering fresh insights into the ways performance bridges the vanished past and the present.

This is it, the finale of the Sasquatch Unleashed audiobook, and it opens with something that isn't in the book at all. I wrote Sasquatch Unleashed as a lifelong skeptic who had never once seen the creature with his own eyes.Then, in the summer of 2024, that changed. Over the span of two days I saw them three separate times in broad daylight, and on one of those occasions I stood no more than 10 feet away from one of these creatures. So the man reading you this final part is not the same man who wrote it, and for me the question at the heart of this whole book is settled in a way it never was on the page.From there, I take on the hardest questions this subject has to offer.If Sasquatch is real, then where are the bodies, and why has no one ever stumbled across the bones? I walk you through the fossil record, the brutal science of what it actually takes to make a fossil, and why the remains of a large forest primate are exactly what we would expect to be missing. I get into how something that big could stay hidden at all, drawing on the primate behaviors and the lowland gorilla that eluded science for centuries, and I look at what human population growth and the loss of wild land mean for a creature trying to stay out of sight.Then I put on the old hat I wore for 16 years in law enforcement, and I put Sasquatch on trial. I lay out the kinds of evidence a courtroom actually accepts, from physical and documentary to testimonial and digital, and I ask whether the case would hold up in front of a jury. After that, I wade out into the strangest, murkiest water in this whole world, the high strangeness, the UFO connections, the cloaking, the portals, the habituation stories like Janice Carter's, and the material I have always trusted the least, and I hold it up against the standard that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I close the book by asking why we chase monsters in the first place, and then, at long last, I stop circling and give you my answer to the only question that ever really mattered.Is Sasquatch real?

Dr. Li explains what actually drives midlife weight — the sleep, the stress, the timing of when we eat, the reduction in muscle mass — and he does it without asking us to give up a single dinner we love. In fact, he shows us how a healthy weight and a real love of eating go together, rather than being at odds. We'll come to appreciate what our bodies are already doing overnight, and then the small, doable evening changes become a superpower! Join us for this BEST OF episode with a new perspective!
