This week we had La Marca Prosecco and watched season 2 episode 18 titled “By Hook or By Crook.” Eric‘s the main character of this one! Cory's sick (with mono)—Ben Savage probably had some time off—and Eric (a *sophomore in high school*) has to get his grades up so his parents will let him *backpack around Europe*… totally reasonable and realistic for a fifteen-year-old. The senior girl Feeney assigns to tutor Eric writes him off as a pretty face with no academic potential, and she ends up helping him cheat instead of actually teaching him the material. This one got Brie a little choked up… Nothing sadder than when a kid genuinely wants to learn, and a person in a power position snuffs out that spark. Not cool, Tori.

Vitamin K does far more than support blood clotting; research in mice found it helps regulate the constant cycle of removing old bone and building new bone — a process that influences long-term bone strength Researchers identified a vitamin K-dependent protein called GAS6 that acts as a messenger between bone-building cells and bone-removing cells, helping coordinate the remodeling process that keeps your skeleton healthy Bone-building cells use vitamin K at remarkably high levels; researchers found that the enzymes responsible for vitamin K activity were 10 to 40 times more abundant in bone-building cells than in bone-removing cells, a sign that bone-building cells are among the body's heaviest users of vitamin K, on par with the liver Foods rich in vitamin K2, including egg yolks, liver, Gouda, Brie, and fermented foods such as natto, help direct calcium into your bones and teeth instead of allowing it to accumulate in soft tissues Protecting your bones involves more than getting enough calcium; adequate protein, healthy vitamin D levels, regular weight-bearing exercise, avoiding soft drinks, and reducing seed oils all support the cellular energy and nutrient balance required for healthy bone remodeling

Marika, Evan, Camille and Luis talk about their experiences as parents on today's podcast. Marika came to embodiment and studied somatics after her son became an adult, while Evan trained in somatics before becoming a parent to his one year old. So the team discusses embodied parenting from a full spectrum of perspectives and experiences. They discuss how embodiment has changed their parenting. As well as which parenting experience has triggered the biggest trauma response for each of them.  And they spread out, with humor, why they think gentle parenting is (Brie) cheesy. A question we can ask ourselves relating to children, or our own inner child is, are we parenting from an urgent stress response of fear and overwhelm, or from a place of safety? Are we enmeshed with our child or empathetic towards our child? They discuss the value of giving ourselves permission to take space, interrupting the trauma response. Curious to learn more? Check out our 6 Month Embodied Parenting Slow Group starting October 6th 2026. https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/parenting-groupWhat we teach in Embodied Parenting is not enough to counter the modern nuclear family dynamic of one or two parents doing all the parenting in isolation. We all need a web of support. You can connect with other participants in the slow group and build co-regulating spaces and relationships to support yourself on your parenting journey. You can register for the Embodied Parenting webinar here: https://hln.thinkific.com/courses/embodied-parenting-webinarYou can also read more about, and register for, the 6 month program here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/parenting-group You can read more about, and register for, the workshop at Kripalu here: https://kripalu.org/experiences/food-therapy-how-eat-your-nervous-system----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Kinky Katie is a never-was porn actress who thinks she's coherent enough to host a podcast about fetishes. As gross as her and her cohost are when it comes to sex, nothing they say is interesting or titillating. Mean Doug joins us to prove this show will keep any guy's penis soft for hours. Jerry Banfield almost texted "the queen" but fortunately ChatGPT told him not to. We get a boots on the ground update on Chad Zumock in Detroit. Harrison Young had a "model" on Topic Time and it couldn't be more awkward and hilarious. Doug brings Stephanie Brie to show us what's really grinding "her" gears this week. It will surprise you (as it did me). Opie has changed the name of his show and explains why to his guest Scott Ferrall. Opie found his guy! Another delusional has-been thinks he's killing it with a big audience. Scott Ferrall doesn't realize his claims are easy to fact check and completely insane!

If you're looking at a “shows canceled too soon” list, there's a good chance Netflix's GLOW is on it. The Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch-created series first debuted on Netflix in 2017, and quickly had viewers falling in love with its electric ensemble packed with a wide array of big personalities.Alison Brie's Ruth Wilder is a struggling actor who scores a rather unusual opportunity. In 1985, Ruth is cast in the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. It's a show that's the first of its kind — a wrestling television show featuring all female wrestlers. Ruth and the rest of the cast, including Betty Gilpin's Debbie, Gayle Rankin's Sheila, Jackie Tohn's Melrose, and Sydelle Noel's Cherry, take their underdog wrestling production on an epic roller coaster ride that lands them in Las Vegas, performing GLOW matches live. Season 3 ends with a glimmer of hope for getting GLOW back on television, but we never got to see if Debbie and Bash's (Chris Lowell) plan panned out because Netflix canceled GLOW in October 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, despite having renewed it for a fourth and final season.Not only are fans still thinking about GLOW seven years after it wrapped its run, but so are the show's stars, like Alison Brie. While on the press circuit promoting her new movie, Masters of the Universe, Brie carved out the time to make her second appearance on Collider Ladies Night, and while discussing scene partners who made an indelible impression on her, she was moved to tears recalling her collaboration with GLOW co-star, Betty Gilpin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SummerSlam delivered one unforgettable night and two completely different realities for Nikki & Brie.

From the adrenaline of a major comeback to an overnight hospital stay and an uncertain recovery timeline, the twins get candid about toughness, disappointment, gratitude, and why this is only another chapter in their journey.

You spend time reading ingredient labels, buying organic, choosing healthier foods—but what if the biggest threat isn't what's in your food... it's what your food is touching? In this eye-opening Fatal Conveniences episode, Darin uncovers the hidden health risks lurking inside everyday food packaging. From takeout containers and greasy wrappers to microwave-safe plastics and canned food linings, he explains how chemicals like PFAS, BPA, phthalates, and microplastics migrate directly into your meals—especially when heat, fat, and time are involved. Using newly introduced federal legislation, peer-reviewed scientific research, and practical solutions you can implement immediately, Darin reveals why food packaging may be one of the most overlooked sources of toxic exposure in modern life. Most importantly, he shares simple steps you can take today to dramatically reduce your family's exposure without waiting for government regulation. This episode isn't about fear—it's about reclaiming your sovereignty, making informed choices, and recognizing that what touches your food matters just as much as what's inside it. What You'll Learn Why food packaging may be contaminating your meals How PFAS, BPA, and phthalates migrate into hot food Why heat, fat, and time dramatically increase chemical exposure The truth behind "microwave-safe" plastic containers What the new No Toxics in Food Packaging Act proposes How endocrine disruptors interfere with hormones and metabolism Why microplastics and nanoplastics increase during reheating Which plastic recycling codes to eliminate from your kitchen Why grease-resistant paper can be just as problematic as plastic Practical ways to reduce your family's exposure immediately How choosing glass, stainless steel, and ceramic can lower toxic burden Why informed consumers—not regulators—will drive lasting change Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:35 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste 00:02:51 – The fast-food wrapper that changes everything 00:03:54 – Why packaging deserves as much attention as ingredients 00:04:51 – The overlooked Fatal Convenience hiding in plain sight 00:05:13 – Introducing the No Toxics in Food Packaging Act 00:06:10 – Why plastic isn't chemically inert 00:06:52 – BPA, phthalates, PFAS, and food-contact chemicals explained 00:07:49 – How heat, fat, and time pull toxins into your food 00:08:39 – The dangerous assumption that "legal" means "safe" 00:09:41 – Inside the new federal legislation 00:11:01 – The science proving chemical migration is real 00:12:08 – Why hot, fatty foods absorb the most contaminants 00:13:34 – Millions of microplastics released during microwaving 00:14:15 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:16:09 – New research on microwavable containers 00:17:48 – PFAS: the forever chemicals in food packaging 00:18:46 – Fast food consumption and higher PFAS blood levels 00:19:24 – What these chemicals actually do inside the body 00:20:39 – Why carcinogens are still legally used in food-contact materials 00:21:37 – The FDA loophole allowing chemicals into the food supply 00:23:36 – Practical steps to reduce exposure today 00:24:13 – Why you should immediately transfer takeout into glass 00:25:13 – Plastics to eliminate from your kitchen 00:26:17 – Supporting better legislation and voting with your wallet 00:27:51 – Awareness creates freedom and better choices 00:28:58 – The future of safe food packaging 00:29:37 – Final thoughts: reclaiming your health through everyday decisions Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.

Heat, fat, time, and modern packaging create opportunities for chemicals to migrate directly into your meals, but awareness gives you the power to interrupt that process. By choosing glass over plastic, transferring takeout immediately, minimizing processed packaging, and making conscious daily decisions, you reduce toxic exposure while reclaiming sovereignty over your health. Real wellness isn't built through fear—it's built through informed choices repeated every day." Bibliography/Sources: Legislation & Government Sources Food Dive. (2025, September 11).
