Mark Winterbottom grew up in outer Western Sydney, in a family with not much money to spend on expensive hobbies. But by an extraordinary twist of fate, Mark won his first mini motorbike in a shopping centre raffle at the age of 8.Immediately, he was off, speedily rising up from bikes to kart racing, and then to V8 Supercars.Mark won race after race, earning him the nickname 'Frosty'.But for years, he could not wrestle the infamous Bathurst 1000 trophy from the hands of his great rival, Jamie Whincup.Then, in 2013, after six hours roaring around the track, in the final lap, the two of them went bumper to bumper, fighting for first place in an electrifying finish.Frosty is published by HarperCollins.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores motorsports, supercars, F1, Ford, Holden, Bathurst, cancer, death of a parent, grief, love, marriage, fatherhood, Owen Wilson, Cars the movie, Disney, Pixar, voice over acting, driving, crash, memo0ir, writing books, origin story, raising boys, childhood sweetheart.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryBad news can shove you into what Cara Lockwood calls the white room—a stunned, silent place where words blur and fear takes over. When a routine mammogram uncovered HER2-positive breast cancer, the USA Today bestselling author had to navigate the shock, decode jargon, and make life-shaping choices while her mind sprinted to worst-case scenarios. We walk through that moment and the very human steps that turned panic into agency.Cara explains HER2-positive breast cancer in plain English, then shows how she built a trusted medical team, asked for explanations like a five-year-old, and found clarity using a simple filter: a hard yes or a hard no. From choosing a double mastectomy to weighing chemotherapy framed as an “insurance policy,” she reveals how real decisions blend data with gut, risk with peace of mind. We also get honest about partners and kids—how spouses want to fix what can't be fixed, and how teens carry quiet worry that surfaces long after the hospital bracelets come off.Mindset is the heartbeat of this story. Cara rejects toxic positivity and embraces strong and salty—fight songs, dark humor, and the truth that bravery is just doing it scared. She talks body image after reconstruction, the shock of numbness and scars, and the surprising confidence that comes from surviving what once felt impossible. Humor becomes more than relief; it's power reclaimed, proof that if you can laugh at it, it can't own you.We close with Cara's new book, There's No Good Book for This, an irreverent, compassionate guide that pairs real talk with end-of-chapter pep talks, and donates half its proceeds to breast cancer research. If you've ever felt trapped in the white room, this conversation offers language, tools, and hope you can use today. Listen, share with someone who needs it, and if this helped you, follow the show, leave a review, and tell us your fight song.Support the show

This episode will change how you think about gluten forever.If you've feared wheat…If you've struggled with bloating, fatigue, pain, constipation, diarrhea, brain fog, or inflammation…If you've avoided bread for years…Today's conversation will feel like freedom.I sit down with Cindy Anderson, founder of Manny's Choice and self-proclaimed “good gluten” advocate, who went from severe gluten intolerance and breast cancer to discovering a completely different kind of wheat — one that nourishes the body instead of inflaming it.This episode gently dismantles everything we've been taught about gluten and offers hope for anyone trapped by their symptoms.1. Cindy's Story: Severe Gluten Intolerance, Breast Cancer & a Search for AnswersCindy didn't start a company — she tried to save her health. She shares how she went from:Violent diarrheaMigrainesBloatingJoint pain so severe she felt “90 years old”Itchy skin and rashesBrain fog…to discovering she could eat gluten freely in Italy without a single symptom. This breakthrough revealed the truth about American and Canadian wheat — and how it's been altered beyond recognition.2. The Real Problem Isn't Gluten — It's What We've Done to WheatCindy explains why North American wheat causes extreme reactions:1950s nuclear food testing altered wheat's genetic “essence”“Dwarf wheat” engineered for profit, not healthModern milling burns the kernel, destroying nutrientsGluten concentrated 50–500x higherSynthetic folic acid sprayed on wheat — up to 80% of people can't process itRoundup forces faster harvesting and remains on grainPotassium bromate added to most breadsHer passion isn't for blaming gluten — it's for exposing the deception and preventable harm.3. The European DifferenceEuropean, Egyptian, and certain Middle Eastern wheat follow traditional farming and milling:No nuclear-altered seedsNo rapid-burn millingNo chemical spraysNutrient-rich soilNatural gluten levelsEven those with Hashimoto's, arthritis, brain fog, gut issues, or autism sensitivities often see dramatic improvements switching to these flours.4. Why Bread Used to Be NutritiousBread isn't supposed to hurt — it's meant to nourish. Natural wheat is:Anti-inflammatoryMineral-richGroundingGut-supportiveToxin-bindingA complex carbohydrate your brain needsCindy shares stories of:Arthritis disappearing after 25 yearsDiabetics whose blood sugar stays steadyChildren with autism who remain calm on Italian heritage wheatThese aren't just recipes — they're revelations.5. The Emotional Connection to FoodI share my own fear of gluten and symptoms — chronic pain, bloating, sleep issues. Cindy explains why:We've been marketed to fear glutenWe've blamed a natural molecule for chemically altered wheatHealing your relationship with wheat mirrors healing your relationship with food itself.6. Manny's Choice: Clean, Pure European FlourCindy's company was born from personal need and community demand. Her mixes are:100% European wheatFree of preservatives, GMOs, synthetic agentsSimple (9 ingredients vs. 47 in major U.S. brands)Beginner-friendlyCrafted for health and joyYes — I made the waffles with egg whites and loved them.7. Coupons & LinksWebsite: www.mannyschoiceflour.comCoupon code: MPWF for 10% offWhether baking bread, artisan loaves, sourdough, or pizza, this is the place to start.8. What This Episode Is Really AboutThis isn't just gluten — it's about making peace with food, releasing fear, and reconnecting with nourishment.“In this short time, I feel like I've made peace with gluten. And that's huge for me.”If you've feared gluten, avoided bread, felt betrayed by your body, or longed to enjoy food again — this episode will give you hope and a path forward.

Episode Description Your resistance to health, abundance, and love isn't a mindset problem—it's an energetic block. While the self-help industry pushes affirmations, manifestation techniques, and positive thinking, we're missing what's really stopping your breakthrough: stuck emotional energy trapped in your electromagnetic field that science is only now beginning to measure. Dr. G sits down with Oliver Nino (The Spiritual Activator), who reveals the truth: every self-sabotaging pattern, every financial block, and every relationship struggle is your energetic field communicating about unprocessed core wounds and nervous system dysregulation. But the most shocking revelation? "When someone's moving energy in their body, they're releasing stuck energy that holds people back from the life they're designed to live." Discover the profound energy-body-spirit connection behind chronic resistance and why clearing your energetic field is directly linked to something called "vibrational frequency"—allowing you to access alignment with abundance and restore your natural state of flow. If you've tried every supplement, diet, and exercise routine without lasting results, this episode reveals the missing piece. In This Episode:  How suppressed emotions create energetic blocks that manifest as physical and financial resistance  Why your healing crisis is fundamentally an energetic crisis, not just a physical one  The connection between core wounds (like unworthiness) and blocks in health, love, and money  How repressed energy stored in the body prevents manifestation and abundance  Why solitude and authentic energy are the foundation of true alignment  The link between victim mentality and chronic energetic drainage  How to stop absorbing negative energy from others and protect your field  The science behind electromagnetic fields and measurable healing through energy work  Why your nervous system stays stuck in fight-or-flight even when life looks perfect  How to identify and clear the invisible patterns blocking your breakthrough Find Oliver Niño here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualactivator/?hl=en Website: https://www.spiritualactivator.com/ My one stop shop for quality supplements: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Timestamps: 0:00 - The Electromagnetic Field Beyond Your Skin  5:04 - From Entrepreneur to Spiritual Activator: Oliver's Origin Story  10:10 - How Energy Controls Your Life (Even If You Don't Believe)  21:07 - Physical Disease & Blocked Energy: The Connection  28:30 - The Pain That Disappeared After Gift Activation  36:00 - Signs Your Energy Field Is Blocked  39:43 - The Abundance Block That Changed Everything  46:10 - Breast Cancer & A Closed Heart: One Woman's Healing  52:01 - Releasing Past Pain to Attract Your Ideal Partner  56:03 - The 30-Second Energy Shield Technique You Need

Patient navigation has become one of the most powerful tools for improving breast cancer outcomes — and in Native American communities, it can be lifesaving. From long travel distances to specialty care, to navigating complex referral systems, to ensuring communication is culturally grounded and respectful, navigation helps Native patients feel supported every step of the way. In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, we're joined by Linda Burhansstipanov, MSPH, DrPH (Cherokee Nation) — founder of the Native American Cancer Research Corp. and a pioneer in developing culturally appropriate patient navigation models for Indigenous American communities. Dr. Burhansstipanov shares insights about how navigation strengthens trust, improves follow-through on screening and treatment, and supports families and entire communities. She also breaks down practical ways health systems and partners like Komen can work together to meet people where they are and help Native patients feel seen, respected and cared for.

Discover how three fearless women transformed breast cancer awareness and inspired generations to advocate for their health, from treatment choices to early detection breakthroughs.In this episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks with award-winning author and historian Judith L. Pearson about the fearless women who transformed breast cancer awareness and patient advocacy. These Breast Cancer Advocacy Pioneers—Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder—helped women gain a voice in their own treatment at a time when decisions were often made for them.From speaking publicly about diagnosis, to challenging medical standards, to creating the Pink Ribbon Campaign, their work opened doors for future generations. Betsy and Judy also discuss important modern developments, including AI-enhanced mammograms that help detect cancer earlier, and the significance of understanding genetic risks such as the BRCA mutation, especially among Ashkenazi families. Their conversation highlights why speaking up, asking questions, and seeking second opinions can change outcomes. This inspiring interview reminds us that advocacy matters—not just in breast cancer, but in caregiving and everyday health decisions.Their stories continue to motivate support groups, families, and individuals to take control of their health and support one another.

Love the episode? Send us a text!In this powerful conversation, host Laura Carfang, founder of SurvivingBreastCancer.org, sits down with Adrian Mendes, CEO of Perimeter Medical Imaging, and Dr. Allison DiPasquale, breast surgical oncologist and technology innovator. Together, they unpack one of the most anxiety-provoking moments after breast cancer surgery: “Did we get clear margins?”Today, surgical innovation is radically changing that question.Dr. DiPasquale walks listeners through the current challenges surgeons face with breast surgery, why 20–25% of patients traditionally require a second surgery, and how new real-time imaging tools are dramatically lowering that number. Mendes shares how Perimeter's groundbreaking optical coherence tomography (OCT) and AI-powered margin assessment technology enables surgeons to visualize tissue in the operating room with near-microscopic detail—helping them achieve clear margins the first time.In this episode we discuss: What “clean margins” really mean and why they matterWhy many patients still face additional surgeries — and how that's changing How OCT imaging works What AI can detect that the human eye can'tHow this technology reduces repeat surgeries and emotional burdenWhat patients should ask their surgeon before going into the ORThe upcoming FDA review and when patients can expect wider availabilityHow rural and community hospitals could benefit from AI-assisted surgical toolsSupport the showLatest News: Become a Breast Cancer Conversations+ Member!

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

My guest is Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, professor of translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He explains how, unbeknownst to most doctors, many approved medications can successfully treat or even cure diseases other than the ones they are typically used to treat. He shares his story of escaping death from Castleman's disease by discovering a life-saving treatment using repurposed drugs that were approved for other purposes. Our conversation explores how researchers, physicians, and you—the general public—can explore novel treatments and cures to conditions the medical profession has deemed untreatable, including cancers. We also discuss the crucial role of mindset in battling diseases and the lesser-known use of compounds to promote health and longevity. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
