Today, I'm answering your burning questions—everything from how to get into MRI tech without a fancy degree to the nitty-gritty on whether radiation is actually dangerous for us techs. Spoiler alert: it's not as scary as it sounds, and I'm here to clear up those misconceptions! We're also chatting about the money side of things—because let's be honest, who doesn't want to know which modalities can help pad the wallet? Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the world of medical imaging, there's something here for everyone. So grab your favorite drink, kick back, and let's get this Q&A party started!If you've ever wondered what it's like to step into the world of radiology, you're in for a treat!

With a casual tone that feels like a chat over coffee, she tackles everything from the pathways to becoming an MRI tech to the realities of radiation exposure for techs. One of the standout moments is her breakdown of the educational requirements—turns out, you don't need a fancy bachelor's degree to get started in this field! What's truly refreshing is how Chaundria blends her professional expertise with relatable anecdotes, ensuring that listeners feel both informed and entertained. For instance, she addresses concerns surrounding radiation safety with a mix of solid facts and a light-hearted approach, reassuring aspiring techs that the risk is considerably low with proper safety measures in place. Throughout the episode, there's a palpable sense of camaraderie as Chaundria encourages her audience to explore their options and think strategically about their careers.

What do the stubborn body fat you can't seem to lose, your hormones, and metabolic health all have in common? Well…a lot! If you're nearing perimenopause or menopause, you can't miss this conversation. In this episode, host Jenn Trepeck dives into a candid and clarifying conversation with leading health and wellness expert Ashley Fillmore. Ashley is the founder and president of Metabolic Fix and host of the Cheers to Your Success podcast. With nearly 20 years of experience, she helps women heal their metabolism, achieve hormone balance, and support lasting body composition changes. Together, they unpack why so many women still feel lost in the noise of wellness advice and how to make sense of what they're experiencing day-to-day, at each phase of their cycle and even as their cycles change.. This episode is all about discovering your hormone balance, transforming your body composition, and redefining what true health looks and feels like.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (05:36) Ashley Filmore explains how she made the health, hormone balance, and body composition space her life's work(09:01) Ashley shares her experience with unhealthy dieting and deprivation(14:28) The number on the scale versus body composition, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and lean muscle(18:39) How certain hormones and body fat distribution correlate, and the importance of tracking your cycle(28:55) Ashley discusses symptoms that may indicate hormone imbalance(35:56) Adjustments to fitness routines and nutrition during your cycle(43:39) Other reasons your hormones can be depletedKEY TAKEAWAYS:The scale doesn't define health, but body composition does: A lower number on the scale doesn't accurately reflect your physical or mental well-being. Proper health is better measured by the balance between lean muscle mass and body fat percentage, which is significantly influenced by hormones that also determine where fat is stored—for example, cortisol can be associated with belly fat, insulin has been linked to love handles, and estrogen is often associated with weight stored in the hips and the lower belly.Where fat accumulates on your body can reveal significant hormonal imbalances, guiding lifestyle and nutritional changes as well as potential hormonal imbalances. Plus, even with a calorie deficit and strength training, stubborn fat won't budge unless you focus on nutrient-dense, whole foods—because it's not just about calories, but the quality of what you eat.Using cycle-tracking apps or devices like the Oura Ring helps women understand their hormonal rhythms, especially as cycles become irregular during perimenopause. By listening to your body, tracking symptoms, and identifying hormonal imbalances, you can tailor your nutrition, exercise, and recovery strategies to align with your current hormonal state, optimizing energy, mood, metabolism, and overall health.Walking and strength training are effective, low-stress ways to support hormonal and metabolic health, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Walking is a free, accessible exercise that improves body composition, hormonal balance, and mental well-being, while intense workouts may be too stressful when hormone levels are low. Incorporating gentle movements, such as yoga, and traditional strength training with compound exercises 2–3 times per week can help maintain health without overexertion.QUOTES: (25:34) “Get to know your body and your baseline, what's normal for you, as opposed to what your doctor might say is normal or common.” - Jenn Trepeck(16:57) “Your hormones matter. It's impacting everything: muscle mass, your body fat percentage and where your body fat is distributed on your body.” Ashley Fillmore(41:55) “Pay attention to how you feel because you may not be textbook, you may be a little outside of what I just mentioned, and that could be normal for you.” Ashley Fillmore(42:48) "The walking, the yoga, the more gentle exercises are probably going to be more effective and feel better when we're in that perimenopause or menopause phase.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramCheers to Your Success!

Have you ever received a diagnosis that has rocked your world? Or maybe you have a loved one who’s experienced this? If so, this episode is for you. Host Amelia Phillips and Mum of two Brooke Campbell Bayes have a raw and candid conversation about how to reimagine your life after a medical diagnosis. Brooke generously shares her story from a busy working Mum, to the day she woke up, knowing something was very wrong. How she navigated those first few months, and now a few years on, how she manages the ups and downs of her health challenges, whilst also being a Mum, wife, friend, sister (and all those hats we wear!). She shares the strategies that has helped her, but also the realities that can't be ignored. A valuable lesson for all of us, no matter our health challenges.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 312: Ksenia Sereda & Catherine Goldschmidt Season 2 of HBO's acclaimed series The Last of Us sees a shift not only in its narrative focus but also behind the camera, with cinematographers Ksenia Sereda and Catherine Goldschmidt, ASC, BSC, taking the visual reins. The season quickly evolves from Joel and Ellie's shared journey into a harrowing exploration of Ellie's relentless pursuit of revenge following Joel's brutal death. This quest is deeply colored by her grief and rage, yet intricately woven with a burgeoning love story between her and Dina. Ksenia, returning after her work on the celebrated first season, and Catherine, a new addition to the team, split cinematography duties. Ksenia helmed episodes 1, 3, 5, and 6, while Catherine was responsible for episodes 2, 4, and 7. The opportunity to continue collaborating with showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann was a welcome one for Ksenia. "For season 2, we wanted to push the look forward with how the characters develop," she explains. "Not to reinvent the visual language but to think, what can we do better to help the characters and to tell the story, because it's such a character-centered show. The main focus of it is following the characters you love and joining them on this big adventure.” Ksenia developed a lookbook to maintain a holistic visual language, ensuring consistency across multiple directors and the entire crew. The video game The Last of Us was the blueprint for a distinct visual identity. It was important to preserve all the iconic visuals from the game, but unlike the video game, the television adaptation allowed for more character development and connection, with longer shots. Season 2 introduces a host of new characters, storylines, and diverse color environments. Ksenia consciously avoided overly cool tones, opting for warmer colors, particularly for Ellie and Dina, to help the audience fall in love with them as their relationship develops. This warmth is also seen in the homey settlement of Jackson, a sanctuary carved out to evoke a sense of normalcy. In contrast, when Dina and Ellie journey to Seattle, the environment becomes green and lush. Catherine Goldschmidt, ASC, BSC, stepped into this established world for Season 2. Her inaugural week plunged her directly into shooting the pivotal and harrowing Episode 2, which features Joel's death. Catherine reviewed the corresponding cutscene from the game, treating it as a form of previsualization or storyboard, and then determined how to adapt it for television. “The video game acts as a reference, and there are some scenes in the scripts that are taken from the games, and there are some scenes that don't exist and are new,” she says. “It's about serving the show first and foremost, and still paying homage to the game.” Catherine also focused on grounding the lighting in realism, finding real world motivation for light sources that would authentically be available to characters in a post-apocalyptic setting. At times, she notes, "the lighting cues were even written into the script." For Episode 2, with its intense violence, Catherine knew the crew had to prioritize the actors' performances, and respect the scenes that the actors wanted to shoot first. But most violent, brutal, and scary scenes in The Last of Us are balanced by moments of profound humanity, requiring careful attention to the characters' emotional journeys. “I remember asking Craig and Neil, how are you guys planning to tackle that extreme violence?" Catherine recalls. "Craig just said, 'Well we're always trying to counterbalance it, it should always be a light and shade scenario.'” Find Ksinia Sereda: Instagram: @ksiniasereda Find Catherine Goldschmidt: Instagram: @cgdop The Cinematography Podcast website: www.camnoir.com YouTube: @TheCinematographyPodcast Facebook: @cinepod Instagram: @thecinepod Blue Sky: @thecinepod.bsky.social

What happens when you build a six-figure business that looks amazing on paper but leaves you completely burnt out and unfulfilled? In this episode, I sit down with Jemma Broadstock (AKA the happy coach and psychologist) to dive deep into one of the most important conversations happening in the online space right now: burnout and redefining success.Jemma's story is both relatable and eye-opening. She started freelancing at just 16, accidentally grew an agency that hit six figures, and then... walked away from it all. Not because it wasn't successful, but because it wasn't her version of success.We get into the nitty-gritty of how external advice can lead you to build a business that works on paper but not for your actual life. Jemma shares how she was doing work that wasn't the best use of her skills, serving clients in ways that didn't align with her values, and essentially "putting on a uniform every morning to be someone else."One of my favorite parts of our conversation is when Jemma talks about purchasing from two different businesses in the same month - one completely automated and one totally personal. Guess which one made her feel more connected? This really challenged my own thinking about when to automate versus when to stay hands-on.We also dig into practical psychology tools that help you identify when your problem isn't actually your strategy, marketing, or clients - but something deeper. Jemma introduces the "best possible business" exercise and explains why you need to do it multiple times to get the full picture.If you've ever felt like you're working really hard but don't know where you're going, or if you've created something successful that just doesn't feel right for you, this episode is going to hit different. Jemma breaks down how to slow down to speed up and why sometimes the most illogical decision (like only doing one-to-one work when everyone says you need to scale) might be exactly what you need.Resources from this episode:Take Jemma's 20-question assessment to get a personalized report on what area you should focus on to be happier and more fulfilled in your businessMore about Jemma Broadstock:Jemma (aka the Happy Coach & Psychologist)Having worked in the online space for 10 years,Jemma started (and later closed) an agency due to burnout before making a return as a fully qualified and accredited coach. Now, she works specifically with individuals looking to build success from the inside out.

This 4-in-1 compilation episode is about capital that doesn't flow on its own. It has to be pushed into places with no pitch decks and no polished management teams. The places where spreadsheets say “too risky,” but the need is obvious to anyone paying attention.This is capital for the common good, yes – but it's also capital that works. These aren't grants. These are investments with measurable returns and track records to prove it.In this episode, we revisit conversations with four guests who've built the policies and portfolios to make this kind of capital move.Jenn Pryce, President and CEO of Calvert Impact CapitalJenn describes Calvert Impact Capital as a bridge between retail capital and the places banks won't go – solar in Sub-Saharan Africa, affordable housing in the U.S., even sovereign bonds too small for Wall Street to care about. With over $2.5 billion raised, their flagship Community Investment Note is accessible for as little as $20.For Jenn, community investing isn't about beating the market – it's about redefining it. “We've learned the risk isn't where people think it is,” she says. By working through local intermediaries and building data-driven track records, Calvert helps prove what's possible.Full episodeBen Rick, Co-Founder of Social and Sustainable Capital (SASC)Ben left the City not because he couldn't succeed there – but because he did. After years at Goldman, UBS, and Lehman, the returns stopped justifying the worldview. “Surely there's something I can do that's better than this,” he told himself.That became Social and Sustainable Capital, a private credit fund lending to UK charities – no shareholders, no profit motive, but plenty of contracts to deliver critical services.SASC backs groups supporting domestic abuse survivors, people with disabilities, and youth exiting care – organizations with steady revenue but little access to traditional finance.Full episodeStephen Muers, Chief Executive Officer of Better Society Capital (BSC)Stephen Muers came to Better Society Capital after a high-level government career – and brought with him a systems brain. At BSC, the mission isn't just to make good investments. It's to make social investment possible at scale.BSC operates at the wholesale level, backing funds that then invest in frontline charities, social enterprises, and mission-driven lenders.BSC is also focused on market transformation. In 10 years, they've helped grow the UK social investment market 12-fold. And yet, it still isn't enough.Full episodeStewart Langdon, Partner and Co-Head of South Asian Investments at LeapFrog InvestmentsStewart joined LeapFrog early, back when the firm was still raising its first fund. He came in to help move serious capital into places most investors overlook – India, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia – and do it in a way that actually reaches people.LeapFrog started with insurance. Not because it was easy, but because it mattered. Health shocks, accidents, lost assets – these were the things pulling families back into poverty. Then came credit. Then healthcare.

I'm delighted to speak with Dave Bright and Dr Oliver Runswick in this episode. Dave is a coach and Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching at Chichester University. His main research interests are in motor learning and its application to practical sport coaching. Dave has coached martial arts for 25+ years. And it was from his experiences in coaching that led him to do a Sport Science Coaching degree, then a Sport & Exercise Psychology Masters degree. Dave's current role requires him to develop undergraduate students as sport coaches, providing them with an awareness and understanding of the underpinning motor learning and coaching research. Dave is undertaking a PhD investigating the effects of cognitive load and autonomous task selection in motor learning. Ollie is a Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London. His research focuses on understanding and enhancing learning and performance in domains including sport, dance, education, and the military.  Ollie is the Editor in Chief of Perceptual and Motor Learning Skills at Sage Publishing and a Human Performance Technology Consultant providing consultancy in virtual reality applications, skill acquisition and motor learning, perceptual-cognitive skill, training/practice design, talent ID and development, vision in performance and performance systems. Ollie received a first-class BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from Swansea University, MSc in Human Movement Science from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, PGCHE from St Mary's University, and PhD from Liverpool Hope University where he studied perceptual-motor skills based with St Mary's University's Expertise and Skill Acquisition Research Group.   Dave, Ollie and I discuss a paper they co-wrote along with Dr Jenny Smith, Dr Philip Kearney which compares two learning conditions - task-related autonomy and cognitive effort. Research has shown that both feelings of autonomy (as supported by OPTIMAL theory) and cognitive effort (as supported by Challenge Point) can positively impact skill development. This research paper aimed to compare these two approaches to learning. Results showed no differences between the effects of autonomy and cognitive effort, but uncovered participants use of tactical learning to improve. We unpack the paper and discuss its real-world application for coaching settings.

In this episode of the Cutting Edge Health: Preventing Cognitive Decline podcast, host Jane Rogers interviews Dr. Chris Ring, a researcher from the University of Birmingham, about groundbreaking findings on brain endurance training (BET). Dr. Ring explains how combining cognitive exercises with physical workouts can enhance both mental and physical performance.  His latest research shows that the negative effects of aging on performance, especially when feeling fatigued, can be mitigated by (1) regular physical activity and (2) combined cognitive and exercise priming before exercise. Originally designed for elite athletes, this approach involves doing short bursts of cognitive tasks—like memory games or attention tests—before or during exercise sessions.  Dr. Ring shares insights from a recent pilot study conducted in a small Spanish village, where older women who practiced BET showed notable improvements in both fitness and cognition compared to control groups. The conversation also touches on accessible ways for the public to implement BET using apps or simple brain tasks, even during workout breaks. Dr. Ring emphasizes the flexibility of the method and its potential to transform how we approach aging and brain health. The episode encourages listeners to rethink their fitness routines and incorporate mental challenges to boost long-term well-being. ***** Professor Christopher Ring is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Birmingham's School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences, where he has been a faculty member since 1995. He holds a BSc in Psychology from the University of Hull and earned his MSc and PhD in Psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, specializing in cardiac psychophysics. Following his doctorate, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in respiratory psychophysiology at Ohio University.  Professor Ring's research encompasses a broad range of topics, including the role of baroreceptors in pain perception, cognitive and sensorimotor deficits in hypertension, the effects of exercise and mental stress on immune responses to vaccination, and psychological factors influencing athletic performance, such as choking under pressure and moral decision-making in sports. His work has garnered significant recognition, with over 150 research articles published and more than 11,000 citations.

Descent into darkness: Baz Irvine on Silo Season 2

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 310: Baz Irvine, BSC, ISC The second season of Silo on Apple TV+ is a dramatic visual departure from its predecessor, and cinematographer Baz Irvine, BSC, ISC is at the helm of this transformation. From the very first episode, as Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) ventures into the seemingly deserted Silo 17, viewers are plunged into a progressively darker and more uncertain world. "I think the biggest challenge for Silo 17 was that, at first, it had to appear to be lifeless, but it wasn't," explains Baz. "It had to feel familiar but different; it had to definitely feel slightly terrifying. When I read the script, it said very specifically the whole silo was in darkness. Of course, there are different types of darkness. Movie darkness is very different from real darkness.” Establishing the distinct look of the shut-down silo was very important. Baz and the production team wanted a more realistic and immersive experience in Season 2, as if viewers were right there alongside the characters. Their vision included creating a culturally distinct look for Silo 17 compared to Juliette's home, Silo 18, incorporating colorful murals and varied textures now falling into decay. As nature reclaims the failing structure, emergency lighting flickers throughout, casting an eerie greenish glow from beneath encroaching moss and vegetation. Lighting Juliette's perilous journey was a key consideration. Baz conducted numerous lighting tests, and was able to request that Juliette find a functional flashlight in the script. He knew it was important to keep Ferguson's face illuminated amidst the gloom. “There's no way I'm gonna put Rebecca Ferguson through corridors and stairwells without having some detail on her face,” he commented. Baz used a range of lighting techniques, including balloons, silk, and a specially crafted soft pipelight wrapped in muslin for gentle top lighting, which added a subtle glow to her skin and a vital light to her eyes. The cinematography in Silo also serves as a visual metaphor for its rigid social hierarchy. Economics and politics in Silo is always from the top down, and both the lighting and camera movement on the show reflect this. In Silo 18, the upper levels are characterized by brighter lighting, benefiting from more access to what little sunlight penetrates the underground city. Tim Robbins' character, Bernard, as the new mayor consolidating control, is consistently bathed in light. This hierarchy in Silo extends to camera movement as well. The down-deep sections of Silo 18 utilize handheld cameras for a grittier, more immediate feel, while the upper levels are depicted with more elegant, slower crane movements, reflecting the contrasting lifestyles and power dynamics. For Season 2, the camera department maintained the same camera bodies but opted for different lenses. Baz made the deliberate choice to move away from anamorphic lenses, selecting wider lenses that require minimal focus. He adds, "Because everything is vertical in Silo, the biggest challenge as a cinematographer was constantly keeping in mind what's above and below the frame." A significant and challenging new element for season 2 involved extensive underwater sequences. The crew constructed their own specialized tanks for filming. Baz considered using dry for wet techniques, simulating underwater conditions on a dry set, but it would be challenging and expensive to add special effects to make it look as though her hair was floating underwater. They did use another type of cinema magic to shoot the underwater sequences. "All of the vertical descents into the flooded silo were actually shot horizontally, with the camera turned sideways,” says Baz. Baz found shooting season 2 of Silo to be a great source of creative fulfillment, from crafting the aesthetic of Silo 17 and tackling the ambitious underwater scenes. “I've been really lucky that I've been doing my best work at a time when we have got suc...

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, David Chambers speaks with Professor Ben Hine—psychologist and researcher at the University of West London—about the deep emotional toll family breakdowns have on fathers. From the overlooked role of dads in the family court system to the systemic biases men face during separation and divorce, this episode uncovers the hidden truths about fatherhood, emotional well-being, and societal expectations. If you're a father, know a father, or work with families, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. We explore mental health, parental alienation, masculinity, child attachment, and the impact of societal and cultural stereotypes on men's lived experiences. Ben received his BSc and PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London in 2010, focusing on the gender-typing of prosocial behavior in youth. Since 2014 at the University of West London, his work in applied gender and forensic psychology has grown. He has investigated gender in the criminal justice system, including rape myth impact on case progression (with MOPAC), and collaborated with SafeLives and The Mankind Initiative on domestic violence victim needs, including LGBTQIA+ and male survivors.  More recently, he explores post-separation abuse, particularly Parental Alienation, a professional interest stemming from his own parents' divorce in 2020. This personal experience has led to collaborations with various charities, organizations, and parents, as well as reflective writing on family breakdown, abuse, PA, and family court involvement.   KEY TOPICS:   ⭐ Why Are Fathers Marginalised in Custody And Court Systems ⭐ Emotional Fallout From Family Breakdown For Separated Fathers ⭐ The Stereotypes Of The Absent Or Unnecessary Father ⭐ Biological And Neurological Changes In Active Fatherhood ⭐ How Prejudice And Bias Shape Legal Outcomes ⭐ Weaponising Allegations Against Fathers In Family Court ⭐ Children's Long-Term Psychological Impact From Parental Alienation ⭐ The Empathy Gap Toward Men's Emotional Experiences ⭐ Why School Systems Fail To Support Boys Equally ⭐ Class, Culture, And Race In Fatherhood Stereotypes ⭐ Challenging The Traditional Masculinity Through Vulnerability And Involvement ⭐ Reframing Men's Issues As Human, Not Just Gendered Problems   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    Connect With Ben Hine:    Separating Better App by OnePlusOne -https://www.oneplusone.org.uk/news/separating-better-the-story-so-far

How can a binding international treaty be agreed and put into practice, when many parties are strongly tempted to break the rules of the agreement, for commercial or military advantage, and when cheating may be hard to detect? That's the dilemma we'll examine in this episode, concerning possible treaties to govern the development and deployment of advanced AI.Our guest is Otto Barten, Director of the Existential Risk Observatory, which is based in the Netherlands but operates internationally. In November last year, Time magazine published an article by Otto, advocating what his organisation calls a Conditional AI Safety Treaty. In March this year, these ideas were expanded into a 34-page preprint which we'll be discussing today, “International Agreements on AI Safety: Review and Recommendations for a Conditional AI Safety Treaty”.Before co-founding the Existential Risk Observatory in 2021, Otto had roles as a sustainable energy engineer, data scientist, and entrepreneur.

The 24-year-old Slieverue native cites his musical influences as including Dermot Kennedy and Kingfishr, with a sprinkling of R&B and pop. However, it was through his fascination with Ed Sheeran, and Sheeran's ability to create new sounds with the guitar, Dowling's real journey in music began. The then 15-year-old bought a Martin LX1-E – Sheeran's famous guitar model – and set off on a journey busking around Ireland. This was a formative experience for Dowling, who despite graduating from University of Galway with a BSc in Science, has tenaciously pursued a career in music since. It is Dowling's unique commitment to Irish music storytelling that has propelled him to perform in venues such as Galway's famous ‘Róisín Dubh' and ‘Uisce Beatha' in Waterford City. Through his songwriting, he's developed an introspective meditation on love, longing, and the importance of remembering where you come from. With his heartfelt lyrics, Dowling injects a unique and vivacious energy from Ireland's South East region.
