Episode 2747 - BEST OF: Vinnie Tortorich welcomes psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede to discuss how nutrition can create better mental health, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/01/better-mental-health-dr-georgia-ede-episode-2747 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Group was opened on January 2, 2026!

Sugars and Oxidative Stress More kids than ever are presenting with psychological problems. (2:00) Vinnie mentions Robyn Dobbins, who openly shares how diet has improved her mental health symptoms. People are feeding their brains improperly. (4:30) There have been decades of misinformation, so treatment has been off. Everyone deserves the correct information upfront rather than having to go through multiple medications. (7:00) Georgia goes through her personal history and how she stumbled onto dietary health changes. Sweeteners have many side effects. (16:00) Sugar is the only addictive substance that society sanctions for children. (20:00) It is not only addictive, but it is also physically damaging to the brain because it creates oxidative stress in the brain. (24:00) Refined flours do the same by causing a glycogen load; as a result, your insulin is raised longer. (25:00) Most people are metabolically broken, so sugars and carbs are even more harmful. If your body "needs" sugar, your body will make it. Fats and proteins are essential, but carbs are not. (31:00) The FDA recommends a bunch of nonsense. And now our gut health is a topic that needs to be paid attention to. Better Mental Health Vinnie knows people whose adult kids are still having issues, but refuse to believe that diet can help. (38:00) Georgia always uses dietary interventions first, and she has found them to be the most effective for her clients (41:00) There are certain foods the brain needs. It's not just junk food that hurts, but also foods we've been told are healthy that aren't (like whole grains). Dr. Ede's book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind addresses dietary therapy as a first step. (45:00) They discuss many different things that have been happening in the news, which are examples of declining mental health. (48:00) Vinnie asks how you get more N=1 cases on the books to demonstrate the advantages of diet and mental health. Changing your diet is a change for the better. You can find Dr. Ede at https://diagnosisdiet.com. You can also find a clinician's directory on her website. Another resource is the Charlie Foundation: https://charliefoundation.org The keto diet is safe, but there is still a transition, especially if you are on medication.

Rob Has a Podcast | Survivor / Big Brother / Amazing Race - RHAP
Beast Games Book Club Week 1 Welcome to RHAP’s coverage of MrBeast’s “Beast Games.” Known for his over-the-top challenges and jaw-dropping production value, MrBeast has leveled up with this competitive extravaganza that brings massive stakes, outrageous games, and a cast of unforgettable contestants. Join Rob Cesternino, Stephen Fishbach, and Taran Armstrong as they dig into Beast Games Season 2, covering episodes 1 through 3. The panel, packed with reality TV expertise, unpacks the strong versus smart team theme, the rapid-fire challenge structure, and the shifting strategies that play out in the Mr. Beast universe. With familiar faces from Survivor and other reality shows entering the fray, the discussion quickly turns to the high-stakes decisions, alliances, and the unique pacing of this “expect the unexpected” competition. Across the first three episodes, Rob, Stephen, and Taran analyze how contestants react to the ever-changing landscape of Beast Games. They compare the unpredictable style of Mr. Beast's challenges with the more formulaic formats of Survivor and Big Brother, highlighting how players navigate split-second choices and offers to walk away with life-changing amounts of money. The panel debates whether experience or raw strength wins out when teams are split, digging into specifics like the tower-building challenge and the early exits of some reality TV legends. Key moments and insights include: Deliberations on whether to take the money or stick with the team, including personal “walk-away numbers” from each host The metagame of boosting your reality TV profile—with comparisons to playing for invites on future shows The showmance between two contestants and how budding relationships unfold in high-pressure, fast-moving environments Survivor alums Jesse Lopez's quick exit and Sue Smay's continued presence, plus speculation about the potential Survivor crossover in Fiji Analysis of challenge design, from physical obstacle courses to alliance-driven bluffing games, and how game structures shape decision-making With Beast Games venturing to Survivor's home turf and more tough choices ahead, challenges to team loyalty and individual ambition take center stage. Can strong or smart players gain the upper hand as the cast shrinks and the stakes get even higher?

It's time to look back… and immediately ask ourselves, “Wait—who said that?!”In Part 1 of this two-part recap episode, Kiki and Medinah revisit some of the wildest, funniest, most unhinged moments from 2025 (with a few older classics sprinkled in), reacting to past clips in real time and reliving everything from comedian guests and dating rants to weird sex stories, hair debates, pop culture takes, and those signature CockTales side quests that somehow always lead back to food.This episode is pure commentary chaos:– Comedians we loved (and clips that still hold up… mostly)– Dating opinions that aged interestingly– Hair, weaves, man-weaves, and why honesty matters– Weird sex facts that somehow turn into social commentary– Pop culture deep dives (yes, including Game of Thrones)– Rants that start one place and end somewhere completely differentThink of this as a highlight reel with commentary, context, and a little “wow… we really said that” energy. And don't worry — this is just Part 1. There's plenty more where this came from.
In this episode, Gaby Salib shares how Henri Nouwen's spiritual wisdom shaped her faith, vocation, and sense of belovedness amid the pressures of academia and early adulthood. Drawing from her Coptic Orthodox roots and participation in the 30 Under 30 cohort, Gaby reflects on ecumenical friendship, mentoring across traditions, motherhood, and her creative project of children's books inspired by Life of the Beloved. Together with Wendy VanderWal Martin, the conversation explores longing for home, hospitality, and finding freedom and identity as God's beloved in a wounded and divided world. 2026 Conference Website - https://www.conference.henrinouwen.org/ Sponsor 30 > 30 https://www.henrinouwen.org/give Register For January's Book Club for Reaching Out https://henrinouwensociety.ticketspice.com/january-book-club-reaching-out ___________ Book Discussed: Reaching Out https://amzn.to/37BuyjZ (US) https://amzn.to/2AxxCBJ (CAD) ___________ SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: henrinouwen.org/donate/ * SIGN UP FOR FREE DAILY E-MEDITATIONS: henrinouwen.org/meditation/ * MORE FREE RESOURCES: henrinouwen.org/ * FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/henrinouwensociety/ FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/nouwensociety/
Iowa has been awarded a $209 million federal grant to expand and improve health care across the state — the first installment of what officials say could total $1 billion over the next five years. The funding is part of the federal Rural Health Transformation Program and is aimed at strengthening access to care, equipment and workforce development in rural communities. Leaders from Iowa's critical access hospitals talk about what this funding could mean on the ground and why they say it falls far short of what rural providers are bracing for. We also discuss workforce shortages, the challenge of recruiting specialists like OB-GYNs, and the “hub and spoke” model Gov. Kim Reynolds has promoted to reshape rural health care delivery. Later, host Charity Nebbe announces Talk of Iowa's 2026 Book Club selections with IPR talk show producer, Caitlin Troutman.
Episode 2746 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer answer essential questions about starting where you're at in your fitness journey, protein, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/01/starting-where-youre-at-episode-2746 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Starting Where You're At First: Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Group opens up January 2, 2026! Vinnie's workout videos, group calls, and supportive community are waiting for you, FREE to all members who join! What is the biggest mistake people tend to make going into a new workout routine? (3:30) People tend to quit going to the gym after only two weeks or so after signing up. They use excuses even though they feel better while exercising. DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) is another reason people stop. (10:00) This feeling will happen less and less as you become more consistent and stronger. Start where you are and work up—you don't need to go hard right away. (15:00) Don't be intimidated by others and where they are in their journey. You don't have to go to a gym all the time. If you don't have time for the gym, try some body-weight exercises. (22:30) When to eat protein and how much? (32:00) In general: 120-150g per day for average-height men, for average-height women, 85g-120g per day. (32:00) It's OK if you go a little over on some days. Eating something in the morning boosts your metabolism. However, it doesn't take much. What about sleep and recovery? (36:00) How to become disciplined? (39:00) A lot of it is attitude, and your attitude can change. How do you know when you are doing enough, especially when you hit a "plateau"? (45:00) When exercising, plateaus happen when you don't change enough. Changing up the muscle stimulation will help. They discuss a "starting strength workout." And finally: Be careful with the bro-science you'll see and hear on the internet. (54:00) A New Sponsor Jaspr Air Scrubbers has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $400 off for a limited time.

We're bringing back a listener favorite. In this intimate conversation, Sakara founder Danielle DuBoise joins bestselling author Martha Beck to reframe anxiety—not as a personal flaw, but as misdirected creative energy. Martha explains how we abandon our true nature in the name of approval, why anxiety is always about a story rather than the present moment, and how shifting into curiosity, creativity, and embodied truth can open the door to purpose and joy. Martha shares: What “true nature'' is—and how to reconnect with it The difference between fear and anxiety How anxiety spirals into control, people-pleasing, and self-denial Simple practices that reset your brain The psychology of living your purpose Light Work Choose one thing each day that genuinely lights you up—something small, creative, curious, or connective—and do it without apology. Notice how it shifts your nervous system, your capacity, and your joy. About Martha: Martha Beck is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and mentor whose work blends behavioral science, depth psychology, humor, and spiritual insight. She holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and has spent more than two decades helping people strip away social conditioning and reclaim their integrity, purpose, and joy. Called “one of the smartest women I know” by Oprah Winfrey, Martha is widely regarded as one of the most influential life coaches of our time. Her bestselling books include Finding Your Own North Star, The Joy Diet, Expecting Adam, and The Way of Integrity, an Oprah's Book Club pick. Her more recent work explores anxiety, creativity, and consciousness—offering practical tools to move from fear into freedom.
Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and historian Michael J. Carley, retired Professeur at the Université de Montréal, for a discussion of his groundbreaking trilogy on the international crises of the 1930s: Stalin's Gamble, Stalin's Failed Alliance, and Stalin's Great Game. Drawing on decades of archival research, Carley challenges the familiar Cold War narrative that paints Stalin and Hitler as “dual dictators” and instead uncovers a forgotten history of the Soviet Union's sustained efforts to build a collective security alliance against Nazi Germany.Sachs and Carley explore how Britain, France, and the United States repeatedly rejected these overtures, shaped by anti-communism, imperial interests, and deep-seated prejudices that cast the USSR - not Hitler - as the greater threat. This strategic blindness, Carley argues, helped pave the way to World War II and has since been obscured by Western historiography and popular culture.This episode offers listeners a powerful narrative of missed opportunities, ideological blinders, and the consequences of mistrust among great powers. It is a story from the 1930s with striking resonance today, revealing how historical misunderstanding can shape international politics, and how the failures of statecraft then echo in our world now.The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

Presented by James Naughtie, the Irish writer Rónán Hession takes questions from a Bookclub audience on his debut novel, Leonard and Hungry Paul. The book was shortlisted for the British Book Awards Debut Book of the Year 2020 and selected as one of the 50 Great Irish Novels of the 21st Century.The story follows two single, board-game-loving men in their 30s, still living at home, as they navigate everyday life. It celebrates the ordinary, and the idea that we can learn from the people we might otherwise overlook.This recording takes place in the BBC Scotland studios in Pacific Quay, Glasgow.Producer: Dominic Howell Editor: Gillian Wheelan This was a BBC Audio Scotland production.
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 26, narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :Dhttps://ko-fi.com/theessentialreadshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/joinSummary:The Dashwoods and Mrs. Jennings leave for London. Marianne is very quiet, presumably thinking of Willoughby, forcing Elanor to talk with their host for the 3 days' journey. Once they arrive in London, the Miss Dashwoods write letters, Elanor to her mother, and Marianne to whom Elanor suspects to be Willoughby. Marianne is anxious all day and thinks that every carriage passing by is a sign of Willoughby. Finally, when someone knocks on the door and Marianne's excitement was at its peak, and it turns out to be Colonel Brandon, Marianne flees from the room. Elanor talks with the Colonel briefly before the entrance of Mrs. Jennings, who presses him to reveal the secrets behind his departure. Marianne is melancholic for the rest of the day. In the morning Marianne is happy again, expecting to see Willoughby. Mrs. Palmer comes over, and is so happy at seeing the Miss Dashwoods, and all of the women of the house go into town. While the rest are occupied by shopping, Marianne is looking all over for Willoughby's figure or face, failing to see him anywhere. When they go home, she is informed by the footman that no letters had arrived for her either. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

Happy New Year, Protagonists!Welcome to our (slightly) new name and logo. In this Letters from the Creative Life post, you can read about what this new name means to us, and what you can look forward to here in the upcoming year. xo,Joanna & EvelynWhat does ALIVE mean?Finding my Tentacle and Showing Up All the Way to LifeLast year, Evelyn invited me to bring some elements of my creativity coaching to this amazing Substack community. In our collaboration, we decided on a new name: Creative, Inspired, ALIVE.You might be wondering, what the heck does ALIVE mean? And you would not be alone. In fact, I struggled to put “aliveness” into words while drafting this post. Every time I tried to define alive, I got lost in a fog of woo-woo buzzwords— presence, energy, alignment, flow, wholeness—but these words do nothing to help you feel what I mean by ALIVE.I asked a friend, “How do I make this real for readers?” She sighed and answered, “Joanna, you have to tell them about your tentacle.” My eyes went wide, and heat rushed to my cheeks. “No, I can't possibly write a public post about my tentacle. It's too cringe, too vulnerable, too sensual.” And then I shook my head, because I know when I have this kind of “no way” reaction, it usually means that's exactly the way I need to go–the way to my full aliveness.Alright, let's back up a bit. A few years ago, I found myself stepping out of the vortex that is early motherhood. I understood my capacity as a human to a new depth, yet yearned to rediscover my full self again. I wanted to sink my teeth into my existence. Not just the content of life–job, family, hobbies–but the experience of living. I joined a coaching circle and started the work of seeing my full self (especially the parts I wanted to hide), challenging my stories about the world (especially the ones I clung to), and harnessing my creative power more fully.Then, I read Audre Lorde's essay, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power. I picked it up thinking it would help me understand my pull toward writing romance, and found something far deeper. I found a passionate declaration about the power of living life to its fullest, deepest, juiciest core:“For the erotic is not a question only of what we do; it is a question of how acutely and fully we can feel in the doing. Once we know the extent to which we are capable of feeling that sense of satisfaction and completion, we can then observe which of our various life endeavours bring us closest to that fullness.”This is what I wanted to commit to in my next chapter. The power of my deep, creative force that infuses life with passion and meaning, drives authentic action and connection, and challenges mediocrity by demanding fulfillment.So, I made “the erotic embodiment of life” my resolution for 2025. When I explained my New Year's intention to my friends, I described it like this: I imagine that I have a tentacle, covered in nerve endings, and I wrap it around the people, situations, objects–everything–in my life to feel, taste, smell, experience all of it as fully as I can. Imagine wrapping your tentacle around a piece of chocolate, a loved one's tears, a sense of accomplishment. Imagine wrapping your tentacle around the words you write, the clay you sculpt, the meals you make.In the first few months, I paid extra attention to all the good stuff—the joy and love in my life—but resisted when difficult circumstances arose. At which point, a wise friend helped me see that I wasn't showing up to the whole show. Could I find the erotic in the shadow? Could I feel discomfort all the way and see what it had to teach me? So, I started wrapping my tentacle around the challenges—the grief for my father, the crush of an agent's rejection, the exhaustion of motherhood, the boredom of spreadsheets. And something crazy happened, I started noticing beauty in all those things. I came to feel their essentialness to life. These experiences are what make me whole and perfectly human.While writing this essay, I stumbled upon Ellen Langer's research at Harvard. In her “I Hate Football” study, she found that asking participants to actively notice new things about an activity they dislike resulted in them enjoying the activity more. And the more they noticed, the more they liked it. Langer says, “We're brought up to wait for something to excite us…and all of that I think is wrong. Anything can be made exciting.” Mindful engagement helps us enjoy our lives.After a year of living with my tentacle, I got what ALIVE means to me. Alive is paying attention. It's inhabiting my senses. It's feeling my body. It's acknowledging my whole self—the good and the challenging parts. It's showing up fully in the creation of my life. My tentacle moved me beyond just existing or just doing; it deeply engaged me in whatever I endeavored. And I never felt so creative and inspired. For when you taste the world through your skin, how can you not be moved? How can you not be driven to contribute to it all?A tremendous freedom also came with committing to aliveness because the intention was always in my power to accomplish. External circumstances couldn't dictate my purpose. In fact, external circumstances often made it more interesting. Sick kid at home today, let me wrap my tentacle around that. Writer's block won't go away, ok, what does that feel like? I luxuriated in the texture of my car's steering wheel and the mix of joy and sadness in seeing my children outgrow their clothes.At the end of the day, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment if I showed up to whatever was. My to-do list could still have items on it, rejection could come, plans could change, but I had a successful day as long as I paid attention.In a short time, my aliveness started to feed back into my work. I not only showed up fully to the page, but my fullness started showing up on the page. I had access to more life to create with. I felt inspired by the simplest things because I noticed them deeply. It felt as if the entire universe showed up simply by my paying attention to it. Creative energy coursed through me.During this year, Evelyn invited me to collaborate in this community. I wrapped my tentacle around the opportunity and proposed expanding from Creative, Inspired, HAPPY to Creative, Inspired, ALIVE. Evelyn said, “Yes!” While kindness and optimism are guiding values here, we also wanted to make room for the multitude of experiences that arise as we persist on our creative journey. We aim to be present with whatever shows up as we make our art and share it.So, what does ALIVE mean?Alive means being present to life in this very moment. It means allowing the wholeness of ourselves, not shutting down any of our parts, but staying open to all that is–the joy and grief, the ease and challenge, the boredom and inspiration. To be with all of it.With aliveness in the mix, we are adding some pieces to our program this year. In addition to our beloved writing and reading content, we'll offer some new elements to support the fullness of our creativity practices. We hope you enjoy:* Some non-fiction selections about the creative process in our Book Club* Mini coaching sessions to reflect on and embrace our full creative selves* Wisdom from creativity experts, in addition to authors, on the Podcast* Reflective creativity prompts in the Community Chat* And *new* interactive creativity workshops coming this Spring and Fall!We are thrilled to start this new year together in our creative, inspired, ALIVE community. Get your tentacle out and let's live!Share with us what ALIVE means to you.Have you ever had a tentacle experience?What parts of life could you show up to more fully?What feels alive for you this New Year?P.S.
