Authorities in Los Angeles are unraveling a chilling true crime case that began with the discovery of a 14-year-old girl's body inside the trunk—known as the “frunk”—of a Tesla owned by recording artist David, a popular social media personality with a massive following. The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, had been missing for months before her severely decomposed remains were found sealed inside a black trash bag in the front compartment of the car. Former FBI agent and true crime analyst Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the disturbing evidence and the unanswered questions surrounding this case. Was this an accident, a cover-up, or something far darker? Despite widespread reports that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause or manner of Celeste's death, the circumstances surrounding her discovery have left both investigators and the public horrified. Coffindaffer details how the Tesla was towed after being parked near David's home for an extended period, the odor of decay leading police to the grisly discovery. The body—reportedly weighing only 70 pounds due to severe decomposition—was found in a space barely large enough to fit golf clubs, suggesting possible dismemberment or deliberate concealment. Evidence was later seized from David's home under a search warrant, though investigators have not confirmed whether the crime occurred there. Experts in forensic entomology and anthropology are now examining the remains to determine how long Celeste had been dead and whether her injuries point to foul play. Comparisons have been made to other high-profile cases, including Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie, as investigators race to uncover what really happened to the young teen who reportedly first connected with David through social media when she was just 12 years old. This heartbreaking story exposes the dark side of online fame and exploitation, as questions mount about how a child's life ended in such a horrific way. Was it negligence, grooming, or a calculated act of violence? As new forensic results come to light, the world waits for justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez. #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #TeslaCase #BreakingNews #ForensicInvestigation #JusticeForCeleste #CrimeWatch #MissingPerson #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Show Notes: What does it take to move ICU rehab forward — and who's leading the charge? In this episode, co-hosts Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Daniel Young sit down with Dr. Monica Silva Damasceno (MD Anderson Cancer Center) and Dr. Vinh Tran (University of New Mexico) — two clinicians who shared the stage at CSM's ICU Rehab panel alongside Dale Needham, Jen Ryan, and Chris Wells. Together, they unpack what's changing in critical care physical therapy — from dismantling barriers and writing mobility into unit culture, to building true interprofessional collaboration that lasts beyond a single champion. Monica shares her journey from Brazil to Houston Methodist's Critical Care Fellowship, and how mentorship shaped her vision for ICU practice. Vinh reflects on his path from cardiac medicine to academia, bridging implementation science with bedside experience. The conversation highlights the power of structure, communication, and persistence in advancing early mobility — especially in smaller hospitals where “doing more with less” is a daily reality. Today's Guests: Monica Damasceno PT, DPT, CCS monicasdapt@gmail.com linkedin.com/in/monica-silva-damasceno-pt-dpt-ccs-03989965 Vihn Tran PT, DPT, PhD, CCS https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinh-tran-169015200/ Guest Quotes: 15:25 Vihn “ I agree in the shorter duration just because by necessity, if they're in the ICU, they're medically unstable, right? So you're limited on how aggressive you can be, although I do think we can be more aggressive than the average person thinks. So yeah, I think that seems reasonable to, to shorter sessions, but perhaps more frequently. With a caveat that there is potential out there to do longer sessions in certain really niche or precise circumstances.” 20:24   Advice for those therapists that working like the smaller kind of rural community hospitals that wanna kind of make a dent and or wanna start implementing more ICU rehab? Vihn “ ..really, it's not just a PT or rehab driven process, right. Like we in rehab can just flick a switch and all of a sudden this happens. It requires an extensive amount of collaboration between providers, nurses, techs, your own staff, your equipment managers. Everyone needs to be on board with what the overall aim is. So in order to really get the ball rolling first to me, like identify champions in, in allied communities. So whether it's a nursing manager that potentially sees the value in early mobility, perhaps it's a Mutually beneficial relationship where we can provide higher quality therapy or an earlier timeframe. At the same time, we can relieve some of the mobility tasks that nursing might have to do or help them do it in a more safe aspect.” Monica “ ..having an agreement with your team and having the the champions. One from or  multiple people from different groups, a doctor, nurses, and then have a plan of what you see for your unit in the future with this, those people, and create your practices like every day. Cultivating that practice of mobility and encouraging and helping each other.” 29:06 Monica “ one of the strategies to try to encourage more mobility is asking. What is the mobility plan during the rounds? Any rounds you have to have an answer. Then, then you think about mobility.” Rapid Responses:  What's your go-to karaoke song?  Monica: “it is Mariah Carey. It's song Mariah Carey. Always Mariah Carey. Yeah. Any song that I can find? Mariah Carey. Which is the hardest to sing. Can you imagine talking about the scales there? Vihn: I'm from St. Louis and I love Nelly, so I just gotta go with Nelly.” You know you work in acute care when… Vihn: “ When you don't care what you're wearing in the work or how you look, I should say that way.” Monica: “ The scrubs have extra scrubs, I would say and all. And also having the safety pins in your pocket to secure the lines.” Links: https://orcid.org/0009-0009-6275-4362

DAVID MELTZER: PEOPLING OF THE AMERICAS Peopling of the Americas as Inferred from Ancient Genomics 1. Professor David Meltzer, an archaeologist, discusses how genomics provides a breakthrough over earlier methods like mitochondrial DNA by using the entire genome to reveal the complex tapestry of ancestry, showing mixing and cross-breeding among populations. Ancestral Native Americans arose from the admixture of Ancient North Siberians and an East Asian population around 26,000 to 24,000 years ago. During the last glacial maximum (23,000–19,000 years ago), lower sea levels exposed the land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska, and these distinctive ancestral groups became isolated due to harsh glacial cold, positioning themselves to move further south.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik digs into a provocative lens on bipolar experiences with author and facilitator Sean Blackwell. We unpack “bipolar awakenings,” trauma, kundalini/energy blocks, and Sean's approach to bipolar breathwork inspired by holotropic methods. This episode challenges purely biomedical narratives and explores how safe containers, skilled facilitation, and embodied processing may help people make meaning from intense states—without romanticizing risk. If you're navigating diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or rethinking mental health through mind–body–spirit, this conversation offers context, cautions, and next steps.   About the Guest  : Sean Blackwell is the author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder and a certified holotropic breathwork facilitator. He leads retreats and coaching focused on integrating intense states sometimes labeled bipolar, drawing from transpersonal psychology and somatic practice.   Key Takeaways: The guest frames some “bipolar” episodes as spiritual emergencies that require containment, grounding, and skilled support—not dismissal. Trauma processing and somatic release may correlate with symptom shifts; the guest uses breathwork to surface and resolve stored material. Distinguish projection (paranoia, grandiosity) from internalization (turning attention inward) to move from crisis to integration. Kundalini/energy language is used metaphorically to explain blocks and releases; scientific validation remains debated. Safety first: structured environment, trained facilitators, post-session integration, and continued medical supervision as needed. The guest's “bipolar breathwork” adapts holotropic methods (faster breathing + music) to invite emotional catharsis in a controlled setting. Lived experience matters: the guest's own hospitalization catalyzed his current model and methods. For clinicians: consider multidisciplinary collaboration—biological, psychological, and spiritual lenses can co-exist. For listeners: educational only; always consult licensed professionals before changing treatment. Resources: book (free PDF on guest site), retreats, and a free 30-minute consult.   Some statements reflect personal belief and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice.

He was brilliant but arrogant, involved in a cult-like religious group, living with a woman he wasn't married to, and wanted nothing to do with Christianity.For 30 years, Monica prayed for her son. Every single day. Through tears. Through disappointment. When he moved to another city to get away from her nagging, she prayed. When he seemed to get worse instead of better, she prayed. Friends told her to give up. But she wouldn't quit.One day, a bishop saw her weeping and praying again. He said, "Woman, go your way. It is not possible that the son of so many tears should perish."That son's name was Augustine. He became one of the greatest Christian leaders in history—St. Augustine of Hippo. His writings have influenced Christianity for 1,600 years.Application: "Don't you dare give up on your 'one.' Monica prayed for 30 years. How long have you been praying? 30 days? 30 weeks? Keep going. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think."2 Peter 3:9 - "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise... not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."Pray for softened hearts, not just changed circumstancesPray for divine appointments and conversationsPray for Christians to cross their pathActs 16:14 - "The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message"Pray that spiritual blindness would be lifted (lead to next bullet point)2 Corinthians 4:4 - Pray that "the god of this age" won't blind their mindsColossians 4:3-4 - "Pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message""Pray for the harvest, not just the weather."Ezekiel 36:26 - "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.""Random prayers get random results.""Aim your prayers like arrows, not shotguns."Mark 11:24 - "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."Believe God is working even when you can't see it2.

Acting out dreams during sleep is an early warning sign of Parkinson's or dementia with Lewy bodies, offering a window for early detection and prevention Advanced MRI scans now reveal that your brain's waste-clearing system slows down years before symptoms like tremors, stiffness, or memory loss appear One study found that people with impaired brain waste clearance were more likely to develop Parkinson's, while another discovered that excess fluid between brain cells predicted future dementia These findings show that subtle changes in brain fluid balance — not just loss of dopamine or brain shrinkage — predict who develops neurodegenerative disease and how fast it progresses Supporting your brain's "cleaning system" through deep sleep, regular movement, hydration, and toxin avoidance helps protect memory, balance, and mental clarity for life

Your brain doesn't wait until old age to start changing. It's being shaped right now by the choices you make every single day. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by preventive neurologist Dr. Richard Isaacson—founder of RetainYourBrain, a free assessment platform empowering people to understand and improve their cognitive health. Dr. Isaacson was also recently featured in a CNN documentary highlighting his groundbreaking work on Alzheimer's prevention. In our conversation, we dig into what the latest science reveals about cognitive longevity—how biomarkers, metabolism, nutrition, and sleep shape the brain's long-term performance. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We cover: • What early biomarkers can reveal about long-term brain health • How metabolism, blood sugar, and belly fat impact memory and focus • Why a personalized plan beats a one-size-fits-all approach to Alzheimer's • Lifestyle changes that strengthen cognitive resilience starting now • The role of hormones, exercise, sleep, and supplements in prevention Resource mentioned: CNN Feature I believe we deserve to stay sharp, engaged, and fully ourselves as we age—this conversation shows what's possible.

What if space and time aren't real, and consciousness is the true fabric of the universe? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Donald Hoffman, pioneering cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against Reality, breaks down the revolution currently shaking science to its core. Could everything we experience — even space and time — be just part of a virtual interface our minds use to survive? Dr. Hoffman explains why consciousness (not matter) might be fundamental, what could exist beyond space-time, and why merging science and spirituality may be the only way to solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness. He also breaks down why: - Reality may just be what we perceive through a VR headset - Thinking you are your body could be one of humanity's greatest dangers - AI will never truly be conscious - Consciousness doesn't arise from physical processes, but might create them - Darwin's Theory of Evolution may suggest our world isn't real at all - Technology could be clouding our ability to perceive God - Recognizing a higher consciousness naturally leads to compassion and love for others - Building a scientific framework for spirituality could allow science to finally confirm what mystics have always known - His mathematical model of consciousness may reveal a collective mind & even prove the existence of God - His theory of the observer could unlock real magic: time travel, instant knowledge downloads, limb regeneration, and more We may have discovered the first layer of the Simulation's software; once we understand it, can we manipulate it to create magic? But with this potential power comes danger — if we unlock reality's source code, what happens next? Dr. Hoffman believes that if science proves consciousness is fundamental, confirming spirituality itself, the impact on humanity will be unlike anything we've ever seen. If consciousness really is the code behind reality, this might be the most important conversation of our lifetime. Don't miss it!
