Ozempic and other GLP-1s have changed how we think of our bodies. Now, some are searching for other quick fixes for their body - far beyond weight loss.In some Silicon Valley circles, 'Chinese peptides' are taking so-called biohacking to the next level. These unregulated injectables promise to help people who struggle with sleep, losing weight, or even making eye contact. One person even said they were searching for the "Ozempic for autism." Sound ethically dubious? Brittany thought so, too.To get into it all, Brittany is joined by independent journalist Jasmine Sun, who writes about Silicon Valley culture; and, Karen Maschke, editor-in-chief of Ethics and Human Research. Jasmine and Karen break down the peptide subculture of Silicon Valley and what it means to be human in rapidly self-optimizing world.Support Public Media. Join NPR Plus.

What starts as cozy weather, sweaters, and travel updates quickly turns into one of those classic Chalene conversations that goes everywhere and somehow still makes perfect sense. From updating makeup techniques for midlife faces to why separate bathrooms might be the secret to a happier marriage, this episode blends humor, honesty, and very real relationship truths. Chalene also shares an unfiltered update on sober curiosity, Dry January reflections, and how changing her relationship with alcohol quietly changed everything. Along the way there are beauty procedures, barefoot shoes, sleep rituals, and a vacation story that absolutely spirals in the most entertaining way possible.
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Darin sits down with Hagen Thiers to unpack one of the most misunderstood journeys in health: why doing "everything right" still doesn't always work — and how true transformation requires decoding the body's survival signals, not fighting them. Hagen shares his remarkable physical transformation after decades of extreme metabolic adaptation, chronic gut inflammation, and stress-driven physiology. Together, they explore metabolism, inflammation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, protein intake, discipline, and why sustainable health is built through patience, self-leadership, and listening to the body's intelligence. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why extreme dieting and endurance stress can permanently slow metabolism How survival adaptation can block fat loss despite "perfect" habits The overlooked role of gut inflammation in weight retention Why fat is a protective organ, not just stored energy How leptin signaling and inflammation dictate fat loss resistance The difference between calorie math and biological reality Why healing must precede weight loss for many people How protein intake preserves muscle during fat loss Why discipline beats motivation every time The role of hyperbaric oxygen in reducing inflammation and restoring function How oxygen delivery impacts fat tissue, gut health, and recovery Why consistency over months—not hacks—creates lasting change How physical freedom directly impacts happiness and life quality Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty and health 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:14 – Introducing Hagen Thiers 00:09:43 – Hagen's transformation and why this conversation matters 00:11:26 – Doing everything right but still being stuck 00:13:28 – Discovering severe metabolic suppression 00:14:54 – Extreme endurance, starvation adaptation, and survival metabolism 00:17:04 – Why chronic calorie restriction backfires 00:20:56 – Gut inflammation as the real barrier to fat loss 00:22:41 – Healing before weight loss 00:23:26 – Fiber diversity, probiotics, and microbiome repair 00:24:30 – Enter hyperbaric oxygen therapy 00:27:57 – Why calories in / calories out breaks down 00:30:30 – Stress, inflammation, and metabolic shutdown 00:31:53 – Protein requirements and muscle preservation 00:35:47 – Discipline as a long-term lifestyle 00:38:54 – Eating frequency and metabolic signaling 00:43:39 – How hyperbaric oxygen works 00:47:31 – Why results accelerate after consistency 00:50:23 – 170 lbs lost and metabolic breakthrough 00:54:32 – Oxygen quality and chamber safety 00:58:22 – Breathwork vs hyperbaric oxygen 01:03:40 – Building an internal healing environment 01:05:05 – Life after transformation 01:06:42 – Discipline, the gym, and honest feedback 01:09:26 – Health as freedom, not restriction 01:11:39 – Inflammation as the missing piece for most people 01:12:45 – Closing reflections and hope for listeners Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

In this powerful first episode of 2026, Julie works live with Emily from Pennsylvania, whose cloudy thinking clears in real time when energetic estrogen is introduced into her system. Julie explains why bioidentical hormones—chemically identical to what our bodies produce when healthy and fertile—can make all the difference, and why synthetic alternatives often fall short.The healings continue across continents as Elizabeth in Florida receives an extraordinary energetic protocol for a rare cancer, including lymphatic cleansing, stem cell energy, and multi-strand DNA reconfiguration. Julie describes toxins spinning out like reverse osmosis and new lymph nodes regenerating through energetic vortices, offering insight, hope, and practical guidance for navigating a long-term health journey.This episode also brings a heartfelt moment of pet communication when Jeannie from Ohio connects with her recently transitioned dog, Teddy—who delivers very specific guidance, including encouragement to adopt a new male puppy (and even names him!).

We have so much information about health, our bodies, and what will make us feel better, coming at us from every direction. If you're ready to finally hear the truth, this episode is for you. Today, host Heather Creekmore welcomes coaching client Tephanie, and Compared to Who? team member, Christian body image coach, Tara, for a moving conversation about finding real freedom from body image struggles. This episode dives into what it’s really like to join the 40-day Body Image Journey, take the next step into group coaching, and experience transformative, Christ-centered growth alongside women in all stages of life. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Tephanie’s Story: Tephanie courageously shares how body image issues impacted her life for years—from feeling like the “heavier friend” as a child, to trying diets after marriage, and always believing thinness was the key to worth and happiness. The Power of Community: Listen as Tephanie describes overcoming her fears about group coaching, opening up in a safe space, and discovering that she wasn’t alone in her struggles. What Coaching Looks Like: Coach Tara explains how every woman shows up nervous, but together they create a sacred, honest place where transformation happens. Lasting Change: Tephanie reflects on how the journey shifted her mindset—from constant comparison and shame, to living with gratitude and serving as a positive role model for her family. Behind the Scenes: You’ll also get a peek into the structure of the coaching programs (the 40-day journey, Body Image Freedom Framework, Attunement Reset), how each builds on the last, and the real “magic” that’s only possible through Christ-centered community. Key Takeaways: There is no “magic formula” for body image freedom—true peace comes from seeing yourself as God sees you. You’re not alone; women of every age and stage struggle with body image, but healing happens in safe, supportive community. Change is possible, even if you’ve felt stuck for years—the journey may be ongoing, but God’s freedom is real and available for you, too.

What if the slogans we've trusted about healing are actually in conflict? "The body keeps the score." "Time heals all wounds." We've heard both. They can't both be true. Here's the tension. If time heals all wounds, staying busy should eventually work. Decades of pushing through should land us somewhere good. But that's not what happens. The body keeps the score whether we acknowledge it or not. I go deeper into the research from my conversation with Dr. Karestan Koenen in Episode 155. She followed 100,000 women over twenty years. What she found confirms what I see clinically. Unresolved experiences don't fade with time. They become biology. That background sense of danger we can't quite name? That's our nervous system still on guard. This was never about time. It's about what happens when we ask the nervous system to stay alert indefinitely. In this episode you'll hear more about: Why staying busy creates allostatic load: When we push through without processing, we ask the nervous system to sprint forever. Dr. Hans Selye mapped what happens next. The body reaches a point where it cannot maintain that response. Then things fall apart. The difference between stress and trauma: Stress is a sprint. Trauma is what happens when we've sprinted as far as we can but the danger is still there. The terminology matters. Calling it all "chronic stress" doesn't capture the truth of breakdown. The body trauma loop: The cycle between activation and shutdown sits at the core of every chronic health condition. Stressed out, then breakdown. Activated, then burnout. This loop can never contribute to health. Where the body actually holds trauma: People ask if it's in their liver or pinky toe. The answer surprises them. The body holds trauma in patterns. The glass of wine. The procrastination. The exhaustion that won't lift. What I'm actually assessing: I don't ask for a checklist of how bad your childhood was. I ask what's going on now. How reactive are you? How adaptable? How long before you hit shutdown? Those patterns tell me what your body is still holding. Why there's hope in this science: When we recognize the body trauma loop, we know what to do. We untangle piece by piece. Step by step. We create a biology of healing. The body holds trauma through its patterns of surviving. When we understand this, we work with our biology. Not against it.

n a culture that normalizes medical means for non-medical problems, where do we draw the line in the pursuit of beauty?In This Episode We explore the ethics of cosmetic procedures—from “baby Botox” and fillers to plastic surgery—and what they communicate about our bodies, our worth, and our deepest desires. Through the story of “Katie” and reflections from Theology of the Body, we ask:Does altering a healthy body help us love ourselves…or teach us to reject the gift we've been given?Is cosmetic “enhancement” actually making women more confident, or more insecure?How do we distinguish healing therapies from enhancements driven by cultural pressure?What does aging reveal about love, humility, and what lasts forever?Mentioned & Linked in This EpisodeEssay: Reject and Inject: The Ethics of Cosmetic ProceduresConcepts from Theology of the Body (St. John Paul II)Reflections inspired by the life of Servant of God Chiara Corbella PetrilloCultural trends: “Sephora kids,” filters, and beauty consumerismResources from SamanthaBrave New Us podcast back catalogEssays on biotechnology, beauty culture, and being human at choosinghuman.orgSubscribe to the newsletter For essays, link roundups, and book updates.Grow Where You're Planted — preorder bonuses include a downloadable list of favorite non-toxic productsJoin the Conversation Have thoughts on this episode or beauty culture?

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores the question so many people are quietly asking: What's my purpose in life? Rather than offering a quick answer or career advice, this episode looks at why purpose feels so elusive right now, why so many people feel disconnected even when life looks "right" on paper, and how purpose actually emerges through small, embodied signals rather than logic or pressure. Drawing on cultural trends, a powerful statistic about meaning and direction, and the film Amélie as a metaphor, Heather explains why ignoring subtle inner cues leads to burnout and dissatisfaction, and how listening to what genuinely feels right can restore clarity, energy, and a sense of alignment. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, questioning their direction, or sensing that something important is trying to surface beneath the noise. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent.

I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.
Patrick invites listeners on a wild ride through fifty-year-old rock hits, challenging musical memory with rapid-fire clips while surprising everyone with sharp recall. Amid the energy, Patrick responds to callers like Leo, whose honest struggle with showing reverence at Mass unfolds into a breakthrough about faith and personal authenticity. Mixed in are clear answers about Catholic customs, confessions about Communion practices, and encouragement to discover accessible, spiritually-nourishing resources, all wrapped up with quick-witted exchanges that keep things lively and real. Patrick is quizzed on popular songs turning 50 years old (00:38) Leo - You told the story about a Mormon believing in the Eucharist. It seems most Catholics don't do that much to show reverence. I struggle with accepting the Body of Christ. (06:12) Maria Christina - My son's pastor decided that the kids needed to be older. They waited until High School. By the time that happened, my son didn't want to do it but we made him do it anyway. Was the sacrament valid? (19:48) Jackie - I wish that young people would come back sooner instead of later. If they come back too late, Churches might be closed. (25:51) George - I had Confirmation and baptism as a baby and Communion around 7. When I was around 11 or 12, I started to understand. Is there a canonical process for people to recommit to their Confirmation or recommit to their faith? (29:36) Glorie - Is it okay to receive Holy Communion on the hand from a Eucharistic Minister? (37:47) Jake - Should we pray to God and Jesus separately? (46:52)

For our first episode of the year Cynthia has invited Caitie Corradino to discuss the importance of slowing down in life, particularly in relation to body image and self-care, even though it is very uncomfortable. Caitie compares slowing down in this way to what it might feel like to sit in fire. This is a very painful thing to overcome. They explore the challenges of making time for oneself, the emotional aspects of slowing down, and the role of healing practitioners in supporting this journey. The conversation emphasizes the need for intentionality in creating space for mindfulness and self-reflection, as well as the benefits of allowing oneself to feel a range of emotions. The episode concludes with practical tips for integrating these practices into daily life.Takeaways:Slowing down is a choice that must be made daily.Self-care practices should not feel forced or like another task.Experiencing discomfort is part of the process of slowing down.Creating buffers in your schedule can help reduce stress.It's important to have a supportive space when practicing mindfulness.Body avoidance can be a cozy place, but it's not healthy.Feeling emotions is essential for personal growth and healing.Practicing mindfulness can help improve body image.You don't need to achieve anything to deserve relaxation.Healing practitioners can provide valuable support in the journey of self-discovery.Apply for coaching w/Cynthia: https://0u8h3wddwmr.typeform.com/StrategyCallDiscover the truth about HA: click the link to download Cynthia's fact sheet that debunks common myths and misinformation!

Dr. Paul Arciero kicks off the new year with a practical conversation on why our bodies crave a reset after “holiday overload”—the perfect storm of stress, sleep loss, travel, skipped workouts, and all the sugary, salty, processed extras. Dr. Paul explains why metabolism is often the first domino to fall, how sleep and eating patterns impact metabolic flexibility, and why getting back to a consistent daily rhythm (sleep, nutrition, work, and movement) helps you recalibrate your body's natural “chronobiology.” You'll also hear research-backed tips for timing exercise based on your goals—fat loss, muscle building, or stress relief—and how smart protein timing can support recovery and results.
It's the most talked-about drug in a generation, but do we actually understand how it works? This week, we are joined by Dr. Alexandra Sowa, author of The Ozempic Revolution, to pull back the curtain on the GLP-1 phenomenon. We move past the Hollywood headlines to explore how these medications are fundamentally changing our understanding of biology, willpower, and chronic disease. Whether you are considering the medication, are already on it, or are a skeptic, Dr. Sowa's evidence-based approach offers a roadmap for navigating this new era of metabolic health. The biology of weight: Why it was never just "calories in, calories out." How GLP-1s work in the brain and gut to reset the body's "set point." The stigma of "the easy way out" and why we need to change the narrative around obesity. Dr. Sowa's "SoWell" approach: Integrating medication with nutrition and long-term metabolic health. What the future of medicine looks like in a world where obesity is treated as a hormonal condition.

Episode SummaryIn this sermon preached at New Life Church Greenbrier (Dec. 28, 2025), Coach Alex flips a familiar verse on its head: the gates of hell aren't attacking the Church—they're defending. Jesus' promise isn't that we'll merely “hold on” until the end; it's that the Church advances and hell can't stop it.Coach Alex makes it practical: if you've spent a year waking up on defense—tired, in pain, stuck, reactive—there's a reason.The enemy targets the individual body, then the family, then the community. But when your “want to,” your “able to,” your relationships, coaching, rewards, and environment align toward God, you stop fighting alone.Call to action: -Join Faithful Fitness (and check out the Shred): https://betterdaily.live/invite -Get Coach Alex's Devotional (Faithful Fitness): https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comMain Discussion ThemesMatthew 16 reframed: “The gates of hell” are defensive structures—the Church advances.Offense vs. defense Christianity: why many believers feel stuck, reactive, and worn down.The battlefield order: body → family → community.Three circles model: how darkness spreads when the light isn't protected and multiplied.The 6 forces tug-of-war: why people fail—and how to win by changing the system around you.Personal: Want to, Able toSocial: Fans & Friends, CoachStructural: Rewards, EnvironmentScripture anchors for embodied stewardship:1 Corinthians 6:19–20Psalm 139:14Ephesians 5:29Timestamped Outline0:00–0:23 — Intro + welcome0:23–2:41 — Family-service tone + participation + rope setup2:41–4:53 — Poll questions → the body question exposes the real issue4:53–8:59 — Matthew 16:15–18 setup + “gates of hell” promise8:59–11:33 — Milk vs meat in Scripture; “underline this phrase” moment11:33–15:27 — Offense vs defense demo (shield vs sword)15:27–18:28 — Greek insight: “katyskohol” → hell can't defend against the Church18:28–21:41 — Candlelight picture: light pushes back darkness21:41–24:20 — The three circles: community → family → body (enemy's strategy)24:20–27:25 — Scripture truths about the body + Faithful Fitness devotional mention27:25–30:37 — Tug-of-war demo: why it feels impossible alone30:37–42:16 — The 6 forces explained (personal/social/structural)42:16–44:40 — System shift: align forces toward God → obedience becomes sustainable44:40–end — Final charge + prayer + response invitationMove Forward Today (Calls to Action)Join Faithful Fitness + the Shred (community + coaching + practical structure):https://betterdaily.live/inviteGet the Faithful Fitness Devotional (40-day Scripture-guided discipleship for embodied stewardship):https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comOne action in 5 minutes: Write down which force is currently pulling against you:Want toAble toFans & FriendsCoachRewardsEnvironmentThen write one concrete counter-move (ex: remove trigger foods, ask spouse for support, choose enjoyable training, schedule accountability).Featured Guest ResourcesCoach Alex's ResourcesJoin Faithful Fitness (and check out the Shred): https://betterdaily.live/inviteGet the Faithful Fitness Devotional: https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-by-better-daily--5150768/support.

In a world obsessed with stimulation and strength, what can this gentle, velvety herb teach us about healing?In this episode, herbalist and prolific author Maria Noël Groves joins me to discuss one of the most soothing herbs around—the lovely marshmallow (Althaea officinalis). Together we explore what makes this mucilaginous (read: velvety, not slimy!) herb such a powerful ally for irritated and inflamed tissues—especially in the gut, where marshmallow helps to protect, moisten, and nourish while also supporting the microbiome.Maria shares why she's fallen so deeply in love with this soft, soothing herb, and how it works without being forceful or stimulating. She also includes a recipe for a cozy, delicious beverage to soothe not just the gut, but also the spirit—her Creamy Marshmallow-Nutmeg Overnight Infusion. You can download your beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The importance of tasting and experiencing an herb in different ways► How best to prepare marshmallow root (and why this is a point of contention among herbalists!)► When marshmallow leaf and flower might be a better medicinal choice than the roots► Why Maria includes marshmallow leaf in most of her tea blends► How marshmallow can help heal your digestion—from cooling inflamed tissues to feeding your gut microbiome (and more!)► When to use caution with taking marshmallow► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Maria Noël Groves is a clinical herbalist nestled in the pine forests of New Hampshire. She runs Wintergreen Botanicals, and is devoted to education and empowerment via classes, health consultations, and writing with the foundational belief that good health grows in nature. Maria is the author of the award-winning, best-selling book Body into Balance: An Herbal Guide to Holistic Self Care, as well as Grow Your Own Herbal Remedies, Herbal Remedies for Sleep, and the new Herbal Gut Health.Marshmallow offers an important reminder that some of the most profound healing comes not from pushing harder, but from learning how to soften. I hope this conversation with Maria inspires you to give your body the care, protection, and nourishment it needs in the new year and beyond.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

The stretch from late 2024 into 2025 marked one of the most significant seasons of loss I've ever walked through - loss of people, roles, income, rhythms, and even parts of my identity that had defined me for years. At the same time, my body was quietly telling a story I could no longer ignore. I wasn't collapsing or falling apart on the outside, but inside, I felt tired, disconnected, and unsure of how to want things again.This episode isn't just about weight loss or strength training, it's about what happens when a body that's been in survival for a long time finally asks for kindness, patience, and a slower way forward.Rooting for you,JessicaWhat I Learned About Emotional Regulation and Stress After Not Strength Training for 6 Months (A Look Into How I Spent 2024 Healing)Next steps:Get my free 3-day study and learn how to deal with your emotions in a biblical way: https://www.jessicahottle.com/3-day-study/Learn more about working with me 1:1 as your mental health coach: https://www.jessicahottle.com/mental-health-coachingOr book your free 20-minute consultation here!Check out my biblical studies: https://www.jessicahottle.com/shopGet my self-paced course, Untangle Your Thoughts program: https://www.jessicahottle.com/healEmail me at >> jessica@jessicahottle.comThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or clinical advice.

In this final Blood Sugar Mastery coaching call, we're reflecting on what real healing actually looks like — and why it's almost never a straight line.You'll hear powerful wins from clients who've experienced steadier energy, fewer blood sugar crashes, improved digestion, reduced inflammation, weight loss, and even coming off medications like metformin. But more importantly, we talk about the mindset shifts that make those changes sustainable.We cover why “balance” isn't about doing everything perfectly, how to work with your body instead of shaming it, and why curiosity is one of the most underrated tools in healing.This conversation is a reminder that:Falling out of routine doesn't mean failureSymptoms are information, not something to fearConsistency is built through compassion, not pressureIn this episode, we discuss:Why healing and balance are dynamic, not staticHow blood sugar stability improves energy, mood, and confidenceComing off medications by supporting digestion and metabolismWhen and how to reduce supplements safelyThe role of sunlight, movement, and seasonal eatingHow perfectionism keeps people stuck — and what to do insteadUsing curiosity instead of self-criticism when routines fall apartWhy digestion comes before food rules or macrosLearning your personal non-negotiables for sleep, energy, and moodIf you've ever felt frustrated that your body isn't responding “fast enough,” or guilty for falling off routine, this episode will help you reframe the process and reconnect with trust.Healing isn't about doing more.It's about listening better.Book a call with me to learn more about the program: https://calendly.com/daniellehamiltonhealth/discoverycall Enroll today! https://dhhealth.showitpreview.com/blood-sugar-mastery STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:
Send us a textWhat most people don't realize is that the same skills required to build a sustainable business are the exact skills required to build a sustainable body—and a stable life.In this episode, Anthony Amen is interviewed about the behind-the-scenes realities of entrepreneurship, leadership, and long-term health. We break down the shift from being a passionate coach to becoming a true operator: learning systems, respecting numbers, managing emotions, and thinking in decades instead of weeks. This isn't about hustle culture or shortcuts—it's about designing a life that can actually hold success.Anthony shares the frameworks he uses to make high-stakes decisions: when to stay in a 9–5 while building, when asymmetric upside justifies risk, and how the “work-back” method clarifies a 10–20 year future. We also talk about proximity and influence, losing friendships along the way, and how personal growth often requires uncomfortable separation.The conversation gets personal. Anthony opens up about rebuilding his relationship at home, learning emotional regulation under pressure, and realizing that physical training is meaningless if the nervous system, habits, and relationships are broken. The throughline is ownership—of health, reactions, finances, leadership, and legacy.This episode is for driven adults who want more than aesthetics. If you're trying to build a body that supports your career, a business that doesn't cost you your family, and habits that actually compound over time, this conversation will give you the mental models to do it right.This is the philosophy behind Redefine Fitness: train for life capacity, not just the mirror.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

From microplastics in your brain to multivitamins that actually work, Dr. Rhonda Patrick of FoundMyFitness separates real science from wellness hype here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1267What We Discuss with Dr. Rhonda Patrick:Microplastics are accumulating in our brains at up to 10 times more than other organs, and studies show people with Alzheimer's disease had up to 10 times more microplastics in their brains than those without, suggesting these invisible particles may be driving neuroinflammation and cognitive decline.That "BPA-free" label on your water bottle is essentially a marketing sleight of hand. Companies simply replaced BPA with BPS — a chemical now proven to be just as harmful as its predecessor, still disrupting hormones and leaching into everything you drink.Screens and phones are the new sitting (which was the new smoking). Early screen time exposure in children is now linked to depression, mental illness, and even sensory processing issues later in life — and the dopamine-hijacking effects mirror how hyper-palatable processed foods rewire taste preferences.A basic Centrum Silver multivitamin taken daily for two years delayed global brain aging by over two years and episodic memory decline by nearly five years in older adults, contradicting decades of "expensive urine" dismissals from the medical community.Your brain's best friend might be sitting in your gym bag. Creatine at 10 grams daily accumulates in brain tissue, eliminates afternoon energy crashes, and supercharges cognitive performance under stress — a cheap, evidence-backed hack anyone can start today.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

This episode explores one of the most charged and misunderstood topics in modern wellness: meat, ethics, and our relationship to life and death. I'm joined by Mansal Denton, founder of Real Provisions and creator of Sacred Hunting, for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges how we think about nourishment, stewardship, and responsibility in the natural world.We dig into the realities of animal suffering across different food systems, including wild ecosystems, regenerative farming, and industrial agriculture. Mansal shares why ethical hunting, when done with precision, reverence, and intention, can result in less suffering than many people realize—and why modern food supply chains often hide uncomfortable truths behind marketing labels.From there, the conversation moves into Mansal's personal spiritual journey, including how Orthodox Christianity reshaped his understanding of food as a sacred act. We explore how ritual, beauty, and embodied spirituality intersect with ancient wisdom traditions, and why honoring life requires confronting discomfort rather than avoiding it.We also unpack the nutritional and ecological case for wild game, particularly axis deer from Hawaii, including biodiversity, nutrient density, and population balance. Mansal explains how Real Provisions was born from a desire to feed his family—and future children—with food that aligns with both ethics and physiology.This episode isn't about telling you what to eat. It's about asking better questions: Where does our food come from? What does it cost—physically, spiritually, and ecologically? And how might choosing with more awareness bring us back into right relationship with the world that feeds us.

Subscribe to Forever Strong Insider: https://foreverstrong.supercast.comAre your immune cells aging faster than you are? In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Anurag Singh, a leading physician-researcher and Chief Medical Officer at Timeline, to discuss a groundbreaking discovery: the gut-muscle-immune axis. While we often focus on muscle mass for longevity, new research published in Nature Aging reveals that our immune system undergoes a similar decline, with youthful sentinel cells (naive CD8 T-cells) dropping by 75% as we reach age 50. Dr. Singh explains how mitophagy —the targeted recycling of damaged mitochondria—is the key to "rewiring" an aging immune system to fight infection 20% more effectively. In this episode: Alzheimer's of the Muscle: Why sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is often misdiagnosed as simple aging. The Power of Urolithin A: How this postbiotic compound induces mitophagy to increase mitochondrial abundance by 20% in just 28 days. Immune Imprinting: Why children get 6-8 colds a year while adults only average 2-4. Repurposing Longevity Drugs: Dr. Singh's take on Metformin, Rapamycin, and GLP-1s for life extension.

What if the missing ingredient in healing isn't effort, insight, or intensity — but safety? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and stress researcher Dr. Dave Rabin for a deep, grounding conversation about trauma, healing, psychedelics, and the nervous system. Dr. Dave explains why the body must feel safe before real transformation can occur, how vulnerability is not a weakness but a biological gateway to healing, and why many modern approaches to growth fail because they bypass the nervous system entirely. Together, they explore the science behind touch, oxytocin, the vagus nerve, and the body's innate pharmacy — and why regulation, not catharsis, is what allows change to last. This conversation bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with ancient wisdom, reframing healing as a process of listening, softening, and restoring trust in the body. If you've been doing the work — meditating, journaling, therapy, breathwork — but still feel tense, guarded, or dysregulated, this episode offers a radically compassionate reframe. In This Episode, We Explore: •Why safety is the foundation of all healing •How the nervous system responds to touch and presence •What “psychedelic” really means (beyond substances) •Why vulnerability is biologically necessary for change •The role of oxytocin, the vagus nerve, and regulation •Ancient medicine meeting modern neuroscience •Learning to trust the body over external metrics Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Why vulnerability is the gateway to healing 00:04:18 — Redefining “psychedelic” through neuroscience 00:09:42 — Why safety must come before transformation 00:15:36 — Touch as the fastest language of the nervous system 00:22:14 — Oxytocin, trust, and the biology of calm 00:29:08 — Why willpower doesn't heal trauma 00:36:41 — Eastern wisdom finally validated by Western science 00:43:27 — Self-touch, co-regulation, and restoring agency 00:50:12 — Listening to the body vs. outsourcing intuition to devices 00:57:19 — Building safety as a daily practice 01:04:03 — What real integration actually looks like 01:11:22 — Healing as remembering how to feel safe again About Dr. Dave Rabin Dr. Dave Rabin is a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience. He has spent over 15 years researching chronic stress, trauma, and non-invasive healing modalities, including MDMA-assisted therapy, touch-based regulation, and nervous system resilience.

The cause of death is still listed as "deferred." The body was too decomposed to easily identify. There's no eyewitness, no confession, no official homicide ruling. And yet prosecutors are moving forward with a grand jury that has full authority to indict D4VD for murder.So what do they have?In Part 1 of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the physical evidence in the Celeste Rivas case and explains what investigators are likely seeing. A chainsaw found with its protective sheath still on. A burn cage incinerator still boxed. PI Steve Fischer's assessment that "the plan got upended" and Celeste "was not meant to be left in that Tesla."We examine the timeline: last confirmed alive January 2nd, 2025. Tesla parked in its final spot July 29th—allegedly the same day D4VD left for tour. Body discovered September 8th. Jennifer explains what a timeline like this tells investigators, how decomposition affects forensic analysis, and why prosecutors pushed to seal the autopsy findings.We also discuss how murder cases built entirely on circumstantial evidence succeed—or fail—and what toxicology results could mean for the charges prosecutors ultimately pursue.D4VD has not been arrested or charged. He remains presumed innocent. But Jennifer Coffindaffer helps us understand how prosecutors build a case when the evidence doesn't speak for itself.Part 2 covers the grand jury and D4VD's inner circle.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Body Image CycleJulie breaks down the emotional stages many women experience in their relationship with their bodies: Awareness: When we first notice our bodies being judged — often as young girls. Comparison: Measuring ourselves against unrealistic beauty standards and social media ideals. Criticism: Internalizing those comparisons and turning them into self-blame or shame. Control: Trying to “fix” or change our appearance through dieting, overexercising, or other extremes. Acceptance: Slowly learning to see our bodies with compassion and gratitude. Empowerment: Embracing authenticity, self-expression, and health over perfection. 2. The Influence of Culture and MediaJulie unpacks how media messaging, celebrity culture, and social platforms fuel body dissatisfaction and what we can do to filter out the noise. 3. The Role of Aging and ChangeFrom puberty to pregnancy to menopause, women's bodies are constantly evolving. Julie shares insights on how to embrace those changes as signs of wisdom, strength, and life experience instead of loss. 4. The Healing Power of Self-TalkListeners will learn practical ways to reframe negative thoughts, shift focus from appearance to wellness, and replace judgment with kindness. 5. Tools for Real Body PositivityJulie offers strategies to build a healthier body image, including mindfulness, gratitude practices, surrounding yourself with supportive communities, and focusing on what your body can do, not just how it looks. Why This Conversation Matters The relationship women have with their bodies affects every part of life — confidence, relationships, career, and mental health. By normalizing these conversations, Julie encourages listeners to release the guilt and embrace the beauty of imperfection.

Sara breaks down what really happens in the first 10 days of an alcohol-free journey (beyond the highlight reels and feel-good memes). Most people don't talk about the not-so-glamorous physical and emotional shifts that come up when you stop drinking. But Sara's here to get real—and to empower you with science-backed insights and simple strategies so you can make it through the early days with confidence. She covers:
Send us a textThis week, I want to explore a simple idea that sits underneath almost everything we do in movement, rehab, performance, and learning:The body can't access what it doesn't know.The nervous system won't use what it doesn't recognize as available, safe, or trustworthy. And when pain, injury, fear, or perceived threat enters the picture, entire movement strategies can quietly disappear—not because the body is broken, but because the brain no longer sees those options as viable.In this episode, we'll talk about self-organization, ecological dynamics, and why movement doesn't emerge from instruction alone. It emerges from perception. We'll explore how constraints shape behavior, why safety always comes before efficiency, and why so many well-intentioned rehab and training approaches fail to create lasting change.If you've ever wondered why someone “has the range” but can't use it, or why strength and mobility don't always translate to better movement or less pain, this conversation will help connect those dots.Let's get into it.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston.

Most of us don't realize how much alcohol affects our bodies until we take a break. In this first episode of Office Hours, I break down what really happens when you give up alcohol for 30 days. Alcohol impacts nearly every system—from your brain and hormones to your gut, liver, and immune system—but the good news is your body begins repairing itself far faster than most people expect. I discuss: • What alcohol really is—and why the “buzz” is actually your brain slowing down• How alcohol affects neurotransmitters like GABA, dopamine, and glutamate• Why even moderate drinking disrupts sleep, mood, hormones, and metabolism• How alcohol impacts the liver, gut microbiome, immune system, and cancer risk• Why hangovers feel like the flu—and what's actually happening in your body• What happens when you stop drinking, week by week, from detox to deep repair• The surprising benefits to energy, focus, skin, sleep, and emotional resilience• Practical tools to manage cravings, social pressure, and sleep disruption• Why community support makes behavior change easier and more sustainable Your body has an incredible ability to heal and often, it just needs you to take your foot off the gas. Try it for 30 days. You may be amazed by how different you feel.

Your body is God's temple. Learn what His Word says about taking care of yourself, and what it means to dedicate your body to God.
Offense isn't just an emotion, it's a device the enemy uses to build strongholds, distort truth, and divide the Body of Christ. Freedom begins when offense is no longer allowed to control us, and we choose to forgive, letting go of bitterness before it takes root.
