Upgrade your biology in 10 minutes with this week's rundown from Dave Asprey. This episode breaks down the six biggest stories in biohacking and health tech, from sleep hormones to mitochondrial rejuvenation, giving you the data you need to live longer, think faster, and perform at your peak. This episode covers: • The Melatonin Heart Warning Everyone Missed A major new study from the American Heart Association reveals that long-term melatonin users face nearly twice the risk of heart failure and 3.5 times higher hospitalization rates. Once considered a harmless sleep aid, melatonin's hormonal effects may disrupt cardiovascular recovery, testosterone, and blood pressure regulation when used nightly. The takeaway: melatonin is a short-term circadian reset tool, not a forever supplement.

It's not peer reviewed yet, but it'ssparking global discussion about environmental toxins, fertility, and detoxification. Whether or not you follow his protocol, this study highlights how widespread microplastics have become and how heat, sweat, and smarter exposure control may help fight back. Source: New York Post — nypost.com/2025/10/23/health/biohacker-bryan-johnson-got-rid-of-85-of-microplastics-from-his-semen • Urolithin A: The Mitochondrial Molecule That Strengthens Immunity A peer-reviewed human trial published in Nature Aging found that four weeks of daily Urolithin A (Mitopure®) supplementation improved immune function in adults aged 45–70, increasing youthful CD8 T-cells, natural killer cells, and mitochondrial performance inside immune cells. By triggering mitophagy, your body's cleanup process for old mitochondria, Urolithin A enhances energy, resilience, and immune strength. It's the clearest evidence yet that we can modulate immune aging through mitochondrial renewal. Head to timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

The system can predict how cells transition from healthy to cancerous states and identify molecular switches that might reverse those changes. It's compressing years of biology into days and democratizing research for small labs and independent scientists alike. Isn't AI a beautiful thing? Source: Google DeepMind — blog.google/technology/ai/google-gemma-ai-cancer-therapy-discovery • Omega-3s Calm the Brain and the Temper A massive new meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials shows omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) reduce aggression by up to 28%. That includes both reactive anger and planned aggression. By lowering neuroinflammation and stabilizing cell membranes, omega-3s appear to balance dopamine and serotonin, proving that healthy fats aren't just heart food, they're emotional regulators too. Source: Science Alert — sciencealert.com/one-dietary-supplement-was-shown-to-reduce-aggression-by-up-to-28 • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Finally Gets a Biomarker For the first time, researchers have developed a blood test that accurately identifies chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) using DNA methylation and micro-RNA expression patterns. This breakthrough distinguishes CFS from other autoimmune and viral conditions, marking a turning point for millions of patients long dismissed by traditional medicine. It's proof that data-driven diagnostics can transform how we understand mystery illnesses.

Panicogenic Relaxation: Why You Feel Anxious When Feeling CalmYou're finally feeling better. The anxiety has lifted. You're relaxed and calm for the first time in months or even years. So why does that feel so weird? And why are you suddenly anxious about feeling calm?In this episode, Drew and Josh explore "panicogenic relaxation". This is a common experience in anxiety disorder recovery where feeling normal, neutral, or relaxed can trigger concern or even high anxiety and panic. When you've been anxious for so long, that heightened state becomes your predictable default. The absence of anxiety can feel unfamiliar, strange, or even threatening.In this episode, we discuss:Why feeling calm or relaxed can feel uncomfortable or even scary during recoveryHow your brain's scanning mechanisms continue even when you're no longer anxiousWhy anxiety becomes a "predictable pillar" after long periods of struggleThe importance of practicing being relaxed, not just practicing being anxiousHow the shock-attention-resistance cycle continues even when you're feeling betterWhy all emotional states - including calm - need to be permissibleHow to recognize when you're still checking and monitoring even during neutral statesWe also share inspiring "Did It Anyway" stories from the community, including someone who kept pushing through fatigue to go to new places, and another who took their first step away from 13 years of self-medication.---Want a way to ask questions about this episode or interact with other Disordered listeners?  The Disordered app is nearing release! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our home page and get on our mailing list for more information..---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control? Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Worry and Rumination Explained⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a two hour pre-recorded workshop produced by Josh and Drew.

President Trump and President Xi,  the two most powerful men in the world, met last week in Korea to try to, basically, calm things down.  China had just flexed its muscles, threatening to limit the export of key inputs like rare earth magnets and other critical minerals without which auto assembly plants in America could, within weeks, come to a standstill. America could inflict its own damage, by widening the net of sanctions on Chinese companies and individuals. Looking at the images on the TV screen, I began to wonder: In what areas are America and China still in agreement? Taiwan? No. South China Sea? No. Russia? No. Chips? No. Trade. A big no. That got me thinking about what lies ahead. To bring clarity and wisdom, I welcome Jorge Guajardo, former ambassador of Mexico to China to the show to ask him some fundamental questions: Since the US and China seem to have different values, different priorities and different regulations, can they ever see eye to eye? Who is decoupling more quickly, the United States or China. And how will Mexico play its cards as it finds itself squeezed between China and the United States with the car industry, investments and jobs looming large.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — it's our 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! We're celebrating two years together by looking back on the highlights, funniest moments (you guys already know this one LOL), low points, and the best thing we did for our relationship this past year.  But before we get all sentimental… we're talking about why Daylight Saving Time is every parent's worst nightmare, whether adults should keep foul balls at baseball games (+ I discovered what a 50/50 raffle is hahahahha), and when a baby OFFICIALLY becomes a toddler. Plus — is it too early to decorate for Christmas? (Apparently not this year???) We talk a lot about pepper (NEED you guys to chime in in the comments) and there's also a classic Bicker of the Week: Apple Maps vs. Google Maps (!!!). And in Things We DMed Each Other: why second-born boys might statistically be more of a handful

It's the command center that shapes how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us, and yet, most of us rarely stop to notice what's actually happening inside our bodies. Whitney sits down with Michelle Grosser, an expert in nervous system regulation, to discuss how becoming aware of the cues in your body can help shift how you move throughout the day.   Michelle offers tangible steps we can take to become more somatically aware of what's going on in our bodies and how to regulate before stress builds up. She also shares her big three: movement, stillness and play, and how each of those can help make us feel more grounded.   If you've been craving more calm, ease and connection in your everyday life, this conversation is a must-listen.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Our nervous system determines how we show up Becoming somatically aware of what's happening in our nervous system, even with a busy life Tangible actions we can take to release any tension that we feel How we can change our baseline Michelle's big three: Movement, stillness and play What happens when our bodies are in fight or flight mode Reflection questions to ponder: Am I playing an inside-out or an outside-in game?

You can be passionate about your exercise or sport, and still burn out from it. Have you ever pushed yourself so hard to “do better” or beat a personal best, that the joy disappeared? For many perfectionistic or ADHD minds, exercise can be too much of a good thing, so how to balance that is exactly what this episode unpacks. In this episode of the Pause Purpose Play podcast, Clinical Psychologist Michaela Thomas speaks with Dr. Josephine Perry, Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist, about the complex relationship between ADHD, high performance, and perfectionism in sport and exercise. Together, they explore how the drive for achievement can become both a strength and a struggle — especially for those with busy, high-achieving minds. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone using exercise to manage ADHD, this conversation offers insights into balancing motivation, wellbeing, and self-compassion. Dr. Perry shares her practical ‘coins system' for tracking energy expenditure and understanding when you're pushing too hard, offering strategies to prevent burnout, injury, and loss of joy in movement. Michaela brings her signature compassionate approach to exploring how ADHD traits such as hyperfocus, impulsivity, and perfectionism can show up in exercise habits — and how to turn these into sources of balance and fulfilment instead of exhaustion. You'll hear: How ADHD and perfectionism affect motivation, recovery, and performance The fine line between discipline and overtraining Why self-compassion is the missing piece for sustainable success How societal pressures and body image ideals shape our relationship with sport Ways to bring more joy, purpose, and play into your training or movement routines About the Guest Dr Josephine Perry is a chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist who works with high performers in sport, stage and a range of sectors where people will be working outside of their comfort zones. She specialises in those struggling with performance anxiety and those who have ADHD. She is the author of 6 books including Performing Under Pressure, I Can: The teenage athlete's guide to mental fitness and, most recently, ADHD in Sport: Strategies for Success.

Hi. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s MAHA movement pretends to be about reducing chronic illnesses, but in reality, it's anti-science, will contribute to increases in disease and death, and is, at best, eugenics-adjacent.

This is part two of how men size each other up — and how you are being sized up, too. In this episode, I talk about verbal control — how your tone, pace, and clarity say more than your words.

You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears.

JB White broadcasts from Broward County on the eve of the Great American Restoration Tour, bringing sharp insight, fiery humor, and unfiltered patriotism to this RattlerGator Report. He previews the upcoming Badlands panels, including his own “Trust in a Trustless Society”, and shares why Trump's leadership and MAGA's persistence have the establishment terrified. From the chaos of recent elections and the “CIA governor” in Virginia to Trump's strategic endorsement of Cuomo, JB argues that everything happening now is part of the long game. He connects the dots between the Comey revelations, Nick Fuentes' infiltration, and the globalist stronghold of the City of London, warning listeners to stay alert and united. The show takes a visionary turn as JB praises Elon Musk's “embodied AI,” predicting America's dominance in technology and space under Trump's leadership. With righteous cussing, Southern charm, and unwavering faith, JB reminds listeners that patriots were born for this moment, and Florida will be where justice lands.

Maya Ramos is hoping that celebrating Halloween in Puerto Rico is exactly what she needs to get over her recent breakup. Her cousins think finding the perfect guy for a fling would help even more. Little do they know the candidate is closer than they think. Bryan Montalvo Ayala wholeheartedly believes he is the perfect guy for Maya, but not for a fling. He's known she was the one for him since the moment they met in college. His powers told him so. What he's never known is why that soul-deep knowledge skipped Maya. A chance encounter with a Goddess of Love puts the two of them on a new path, but neither is sure it's the right one.

The Left governs through panic; the Right feeds on the reaction. Liberty erodes as fear becomes policy, and calm turns suspicious.

In this episode, I share simple journaling prompts, mindset shifts, and rituals that help pause, look back, and carry forward what truly matters. You'll hear how I approach year-end reflection with curiosity instead of pressure, how I use tools like A Sense of Possibilities Planner and Moxie Life's Dream Workbook, and how I create calm before the chaos of planning season.  As we move into November, I always find myself craving a deep pause. Before I start planning, I love to sit with my journal, reflect on the lessons of the past year, and soak in the moments that made it special.

I'll walk you through my own reflection process — from my messy, beautiful journaling practice to the tools I'm using this year. You'll hear how I use prompts to remember my best memories, release what's not working, and find clarity about what to carry forward. So grab your notebook, your favorite drink, and join me in this reflective space. Together, we'll slow down, celebrate how far you've come, and open the door to a year ahead filled with intention, courage, and calm. ✨ Topics include: year-end reflection, journaling for clarity, goal setting, mindful planning, self-reflection prompts, creating calm before the holidays, and preparing for 2026 with confidence.

Hi Wellness Warrior!  Have you ever felt at war with your own body — like no matter what you eat, how much you sleep, or how hard you try to “do everything right,” your body just isn't cooperating? Maybe your hormones feel all over the place — the PMS, the fatigue, the anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere.  Or maybe you've struggled with your relationship with food or your body? You have an eating disorder that constantly haunts you.  If that sounds familiar, friend, today's conversation is going to speak right to your heart....or I should say to your brain. Before motherhood, Laurie Hammer battled an eating disorder, anxiety, and depression, affecting her health, relationships, and overall well-being. Discovering Amino Acid Therapy changed everything, helping her reclaim her life and igniting a passion for health and wellness. With a degree in psychology and certification in nutritional therapy, she created the Calm Mom Method—a proven approach to help moms manage anxiety, restore energy, and live with purpose. She also shares her expertise on the podcast, Take Back My Brain.

Sara sits down with her friend Chelsea Bohnstedt, a yoga instructor and certified sound healer, to talk about her powerful alcohol-free journey. At the time of recording, Chelsea is 562 days sober, but her path to get here was far from linear. Chelsea opens up about: Hitting rock bottom after repeated starts and stops, and how a medical crisis finally became her turning point. The kindling effect. A dangerous neurological response that makes withdrawal symptoms worse each time you quit and start drinking again. Finding recovery through SMART Recovery and Y12SR (Yoga for 12-Step Recovery) after struggling to connect with traditional AA. Healing anxiety, rediscovering peace, and embracing the beauty of a “boring life.” How yoga, meditation, and sound baths helped her reconnect with her body and spirit, and why spirituality doesn't have to look “religious.” Sara and Chelsea also share stories from their time together at the Sober Tahoe Adventure Retreat and reflect on how sound healing and self-care practices can unlock powerful emotional healing.
