“You get at most one cliche per book,” the writer Jonathan Franzen said in a recent interview. Cue: Literary Twitter exploding. Snob! Hypocrite! But as Nancy and Sarah point out: Franzen is also awesome! And the journo babes love The Corrections and Freedom, etc. A discussion ensues about writerly rules (made to be broken) and the role of snobbery in the arts.The journo broads also debate Emmy fashion, including Emmy host Mariska Hargitay's teen daughter in what Nancy sees as a cute dress and Sarah sees as … not that. Nancy shuts down a misery scammer taking advantage of the memory of our late friend Andrew Wimsatt. Please only refer to Nancy, from now on, as “Nancy Rommelmann, online avenger.” Sarah gives Nancy a pop quiz about her upcoming memoir (9/29/26), The Only Thing There Is to Want, which Nancy hasn't read yet. Nancy gives Sarah a hard time for not having finished Nancy's 2018 book To the Bridge, despite the fact that Sarah has had roughly eight years to do so.This is a FREE episode, so send it to TWO friends, who'll send it to two friends …Also discussed: * The return of the goon cave* Do not f___ with Nancy's people* Widow's Bay FTW!!!* Oscar Isaac, Sarah's boyfriend who is not Robert De Niro* Sex worker or sorority girl?* Metaphor debate!* Ellroy or Leonard: Who said it?* Paglia or Steinem: Who made the cut for Sarah's book?* Sarah goes to a hen party, does not apologize for the stereotypePlus, the shadow side of second-wave feminism, Joan Didion gets it right, did Infinite Jest predict our AI doomscape?

What if one of the most fun workouts could also support your balance, bones, pelvic floor, lymphatic system, nervous system, and overall longevity? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine sits down with Steve Carver, aka Mr. Bouncer, a fitness professional with more than 30 years of experience and a longtime expert in trampoline-based fitness with JumpSport. What started as an unexpected introduction to JumpSport eventually became Steve's specialty: helping people understand just how versatile a rebounder can be. And this isn't just about jumping up and down. A rebounder can be used for gentle workout, strength training, balance work, plyometrics, sports-specific conditioning, HIIT, and even ski training. Dr. Jannine and Steve dive into why bouncing may be worth adding to your movement routine, especially as you get older. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How rebounding supports balance, strength, and coordination Why gentle bouncing may benefit lymphatic flow and pelvic floor health How rebounding can support bone health and agility Why 5–10 minutes of movement is all it takes to make a difference How to adjust your bounce for gentle movement or higher-intensity workouts Using rebounding for ski training, HIIT, and sport-specific conditioning Why the lymphatic system loves movement Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump. Movement and muscular contractions help move lymphatic fluid through the body. Steve explains how the compression and release created through bouncing may help encourage lymphatic flow, making gentle bouncing a simple and enjoyable way to incorporate movement into your routine. The fun factor matters One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation? The best exercise is the one you'll actually do. Steve shares why he believes enjoyment is such an important part of movement. If you hate the exercise you're doing, your brain will eventually find a reason to avoid it. But when movement makes you smile, feel energized, and actually look forward to exercising, consistency becomes a whole lot easier. Meet Steve Carver Steve Carver, aka Mr. Bouncer, has more than 30 years of experience as a fitness professional, trainer, stunt performer, and trampoline fitness expert. His background includes competitive sports, extreme sports, skiing, acrobatics, stunt work, and training clients in the entertainment industry. Today, Steve works with JumpSport to help people discover the many ways a rebounder can be used for fitness, wellness, balance, conditioning, and more.

What does it means to know enough, and why do so many of us have our sense of self-worth tangled up with the need to appear certain, informed, and never wrong? The common obstacles of perfectionism, yearning for power and to feel "special," along with anxiety are fueled by a world of constant information, public scrutiny, and the subtle pressure to prove our intelligence. It makes a tough environment to come back to the wisdom Socrates shared 2,500 years ago: real wisdom lives in knowing what you don't know.  The good news: getting comfortable with being wrong is a practice, not a personality trait. And the more you do it (starting small and safe), then the more your nervous system learns that doubt isn't dangerous.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: This episode traces the drive to perform knowledge back to things like anxiety about judgment and the desire for specialness, along with the amygdala hijack that makes being wrong feel like a survival threat, and offers a practical strategy: exposure. Practice being wrong in small, safe ways until your nervous system recalibrates and realizes it isn't catastrophic.   Q: Can you actually be too certain? Isn't confidence a good thing? A: Being too certain can be detrimental. This episode unpacks the differences between genuine knowledge, intellectual humility, and the performance of certainty for reasons outside of genuine knowledge.     Key moments: [00:30] Setting the scene: Athens, 2,500 years ago — a friend asks the Oracle of Delphi who is the wisest person in the city [02:30] Socrates' conclusion: maybe he was wiser because he knew what he didn't know, and didn't shy away from that unknowing; kept asking questions [03:30] Intellectual humility: holding your beliefs loosely, staying curious, genuinely believing you might be wrong [04:00] The Enoughness layer: the belief that you have to prove your knowledge to be worthy; knowing more makes you enough [05:00] It's exhausting to feel like you need to know all the answers, to be right all the time — and none of us can actually succeed at it [05:30] Two drivers: anxiety (fear of being judged for being wrong) and the desire for power or certainty as protection from vulnerability [07:00] The desire for specialness: inflating self-esteem through the performance of knowing it all [07:30] Research on narcissism and conspiratorial thinking: conspiracy theories offer the feeling of uniqueness — "I know something you don't" [10:00] Henry: a small pitch for narcissism — a little bit isn't bad; we all want to feel special sometimes; full-blown narcissists wouldn't be listening to this anyway [11:00] The belonging need: we don't have to stand out to belong, but we do need to be seen as worthy of inclusion — so we avoid sticking our neck out and being wrong in front of others [11:30] Social media amplifies this: anything put out publicly can be validated or challenged — rarely challenged without feeling diminished [14:00] The internet requires a new kind of resilience and emotional regulation we haven't trained before in human history — much of which is what Joy Lab works on [15:30] Being wrong is so often worse in our heads than in real life — especially when we're willing to admit it; humility actually strengthens connection [17:30] Henry: when the fear of being wrong tips into clinical anxiety or mood problems — perfectionism creates a downward spiral [18:00] The amygdala hijack: the midbrain can't distinguish between a perceived threat (being wrong in front of others) and a real physical threat — fight or flight activates as though lives are at stake [18:30] How to get out: exposure — practice being wrong in small, safe ways; when your nervous system learns it isn't catastrophic, it recalibrates  [20:30] Good news: we have many opportunities every day to practice being wrong — the more you check in, the more you notice them [21:00] The Experiment for this episode works on getting more comfortable with being wrong   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

If you've ever done "everything right" with food and still felt off, tired, inflamed, stuck, this episode is for you. My guest today spent years chasing down his own health crisis before he found what was actually driving it, and it wasn't what any of his doctors were looking at. We talk about the real difference between eating "clean" and eating in a way that actually nourishes your body, why your gut health sets the tone for basically everything else, and how the food most of us grew up on set us up for exactly the kind of chronic issues we're now trying to undo. This is one of those conversations that connects a lot of dots.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why chronic skin issues, digestive pain, and autoimmune flare ups often trace back to toxin load, nutrient deficiency, and stress rather than one isolated causeHow the modern food supply has changed, with produce carrying significantly fewer nutrients than it did a generation agoWhy clearing the pathways of elimination, like the gut and lymphatic system, matters before anything else can really healWhat fulvic and humic minerals are, and why mineral repletion is often the missing piece in a "healthy" dietWhy there's no single diet that works for everyone, and what actually matters more than the label on your plateAbout Tim James: Tim James is the founder of Chemical Free Body and a longtime voice in the nutrition and healthy living space. His own health crisis, including years of debilitating autoimmune symptoms and a medical emergency that nearly cost him his life, sent him searching for real answers outside of conventional care. That search became his life's work, and he now spends his time helping people cut through the noise around nutrition to find what actually works for their bodies.Key Insights: Tim's story is a powerful reminder that healing rarely happens in a straight line. He talks candidly about the eczema, the internal bleeding, and the moment everything came to a head on a trip that turned into a medical emergency. What changed things for him wasn't a new supplement or a trendy diet, it was addressing the root causes underneath his symptoms, starting with clearing out what his body had been holding onto for years.We also get into something I talk about with almost every guest in some form, and that's the state of our food supply. Tim breaks down how depleted our soil has become and what that means for the nutrients actually making it onto our plates, which is a big part of why mineral repletion has become such a focus in his own work and in mine.And of course, we can't have a conversation about root causes without circling back to the mouth. Tim and I talk about how often the picture of someone's health only really comes together once the dental piece is addressed, because so much of what shows up as digestive, autoimmune, or inflammatory can have roots that start right at the source of the airway and the gut.Resources Mentioned:hippocrateswellness.org

Do you feel like you have to prove your worth through the shear amount of work you do or prove your value by making sure you're seen as busy, always hustling, and super productive? Do you feel burned out, overwhelmed with work, or simply feeling that you're just doing too much? If so, this is the "doing enough" episode, and we hope you come away acknowledging that you're wired to do enough (often more than enough) and that the pressure to do more is something we layer on top of that natural wiring, and it is likely more harmful than good. We'll dig into perfectionism and how it can push us into doing too much and its association with anxiety and depression. We'll also explore more of the burnout research and how perfectionism and the myth of productivity are related to burnout. Importantly, we'll talk about some practical strategies to help you identify what might be driving you to do too much and how you can soften your expectations. Additionally, feeling burned out and overwhelmed with work can have less to do with the amount of work you're doing and more to do with the lack of support from your employer and other key factors related to burnout. This is that canary in the coal mine phenomenon. If you can relate to that, we also have some strategies to consider.     About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: We are naturally wired to engage and do, and then we layer on extra expectations, perfectionism, and the belief that our worth is tied to visible busyness. It's essential to first bring awareness to what's driving us to do more than enough. This episode offers strategies for that mindful awareness and ways to come back into more balance.     Q: Is burnout really just about working too many hours, or is there something deeper going on? A: Dr. Christina Maslach's six-factor burnout model shows that most of what drives burnout has nothing to do with logged hours. Lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown of community, absence of fairness, and value conflicts are additional factors. This episode explains how we have to look at the big picture (rather than just blaming ourselves) to create real change.     Key moments: [00:00] Welcome — Enoughness Ep 3: doing enough [00:30] The two-week vacation thought experiment: what comes up in your body when you imagine truly stepping away? [01:00] Itching to check email just in case, guilt about doing nothing, loss without a to-do list — all very normal, and worth examining [01:30] We are already wired to do enough — the pressure to do more is something we layer on top of that natural drive [02:00] We attach our doing to our worth, and to what others can see: always busy, always achieving, always on [03:00] Henry: email changed everything — from 9-to-5 availability to always-on; the inbox that empties for 10 minutes and then refills [04:30] Text messaging took it further — the expected response speed keeps accelerating. The result: a state of constant alertness, constantly scanning for something important, hard to resist the impulse to check [05:30] We've trained ourselves to react immediately to the relentless drumbeat of more — mindfulness emphasizes being over doing, but there's so much pulling against it [06:30] 150 years ago, news took weeks to cross the country by horse, ship, or foot — always-on is entirely new territory for our nervous systems. We apologize for a three-day email delay — when it would have taken six weeks round-trip to even get the apology back [07:30] Recap of Hewitt and Flett's three perfectionism types; self-oriented perfectionism connects most directly to "doing enough" [08:00] Even self-oriented perfectionism doesn't operate in a vacuum — we write stories about how others are judging our response times [09:30] Henry: perfectionism usually starts in childhood — good report card means a parent is proud; fitting in becomes the price of admission to belonging; We internalize: "I am worthy if I accomplish enough; if I perform well enough; if I don't fail" [10:30] Perfectionism is a losing game because the standard always moves — there's always another rung on the ladder [11:00] Did high achievers get there because of perfectionism? The evidence says they likely got there in spite of it [11:30] 2018 meta-analysis: "Is Perfect Good?" — teases apart excellence-seeking vs. failure-avoiding perfectionism [12:00] Excellence-seeking: weak, inconsistent relationship with performance — small effect with many disclaimers [12:30] Failure-avoiding: did not predict improvements in performance; 2025 Bellam et al. meta-analysis: overall relationship inconclusive [13:00] What perfectionism does predict: moderate-to-large associations with anxiety, depression, and burnout [13:30] You can strive for greatness, have high expectations, work really hard — and that is very different from believing your worth is at stake if you don't hit perfect [14:00] Henry: perfectionism predicts suffering, not performance — reviewing your work at midnight for the third time out of terror is not diligence; it's hurting yourself [14:30] Aimee: doing enough is enough — this is not about shirking responsibility; personal drive and responsibility can exist without perfectionism [15:30] Dr. Christina Maslach's six factors of burnout: work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown of community, absence of fairness, value conflicts [16:00] Most of burnout has nothing to do with logged hours — the other five factors point to things much deeper [16:30] The canary-in-a-coal-mine analogy: if the bird stops singing, it's not because the bird isn't resilient enough; it's a sign something is wrong with the mine [17:00] We are the canaries — and we need to ask: what is happening in the mine? Does it ignore the conditions and just tell you to fly faster? [17:30] The most toxic mines are built from feelings of not being enough — and some of those mines were built for us and we're expected to fly in them anyway [18:30] Henry: the canary doesn't belong in a coal mine; we've built a toxic personal mine where worth is entirely dependent on what we produce or achieve [19:00] The solution isn't to make yourself stronger or tougher — it's to change the mine, or get out of it [19:30] Psychological detachment: Sonnentag and Fritz research — people who mentally detach during off-hours report less exhaustion and more energy the next day [20:00] Being physically home but mentally rehearsing tomorrow's problems means you don't get restored the same way — the Experiment will work with this [20:30] Rest is your right and your biological need — in a culture of side hustles, grindsets, and constant optimization, it is essential [21:00] Tricia Hersey, "The Nap Bishop": "Rest is resistance" — it's what will fight some of those toxic mines [21:30] Henry: choosing to rest is choosing to say "my worth isn't measured by what I produce; I'm enough even when I'm doing nothing" [21:45] "Sometimes I sits and think, and sometimes I just sits" — sometimes putting it in simple terms is exactly what's needed [22:00] Head to JoyLab.coach to access the Experiments — this week's works on psychological detachment and sitting [22:30] Closing wisdom from Tricia Hersey: "Rest is not a reward or luxury reserved for those who make a certain amount of money. Rest is a right. Rest is our divine right, and no capitalist agenda can have access to it."   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Proverbios 3:5-6“Fíate de Jehová de todo tu corazón, Y no te apoyes en tu propia prudencia.Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, Y él enderezará tus veredas".George Washington Carver nació como un hijo de esclavos a comienzos de 1860, y creció para convertirse en uno de los más prominentes Químicos de América. Aunque, la mayoría de las personas lo reconocen como el hombre que nos dio la mantequilla de maní, pocos saben que Carver era un Científico con una relación muy estrecha con su Creador.A medida que aprendemos del libro, George Washington Carver: Su vida y su fe en Sus Propias Palabras por William Federer, después de hablar con el Comité de la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos y el Comité Ways, el presidente del comité le preguntó dónde había aprendido tanto acerca del maní. Carver, respondió: "De un viejo libro." El presidente preguntó: "¿Qué libro?" Y respondió Carver, "La Biblia".Deseando saber más, el presidente preguntó, "¿Dice algo la Biblia sobre el maní?" Y respondió Carver, "No señor. Pero habla acerca del Dios quien hizo el maní. Le pedí que me mostrara qué hacer con el maní, y Él lo hizo".En otra ocasión, cuando se le preguntó el secreto de su éxito, respondió: "Es simple. Se encuentra en la Biblia, "Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus veredas."Mientras trabajaba en su laboratorio, al que él llamaba "Pequeño taller de Dios" - Carver desarrolló más de 300 usos innovadores para el maní y otros 100 usos para la soya, incluyendo bebidas, cosméticos, pinturas, medicamentos y productos alimenticios.Así que la próxima vez que un Evolucionista le diga que los hombres de fe no pueden ser verdaderos científicos, cuéntele la historia del Sr. Maní.Oración: Padre Celestial, Tú te deleitas en hombres y mujeres humildes, que Te reconocen como Creador. Pido que continúes levantando Científicos de fe de modo que Te glorifiquen a Ti y a Tu Hijo, Jesucristo. Amén.Ref: Federer, William J. (2002).

She describes carrying a long checklist of what a good husband should do while never once asking what kind of wife she was being, and how quietly that scorekeeping turned into contention. It is a candid look at how examining your own expectations can reopen a marriage that felt finished. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://declutteryourlife.co/the-marriage-diaries-surprise-i-was-a-lousy-wife/ Quotes to ponder: "With so much energy poured into my good husband checklist, of course I didn't waste time thinking about what kind of wife I was." "Everything was about what I wanted, how it made me feel and what I thought I deserved." "It was only after counseling and a lot of soul-searching that I realized my expectations, combined with my insistence on being right and having rights, were ruining my chance at a happy marriage."

It's easy to feel like you don't have enough; it's the message we constantly receive through media and advertisements. It's the message that once you have this thing, or make this much, then you will be happy... all of your dreams will come true! The truth is actually the opposite as this kind of grasping for more is associated with mood problems, anxiety, and stress.  We'll dig into this trap of "having enough" and how we can break free from it and embrace our enoughness.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

And why doesn't it ever work? A: This episode explains the psychology of contingent self-worth and the neuroscience of hedonic adaptation: when you stake your value on external things, the bar always moves, the reward always fades faster than expected, and there is never enough; understanding the mechanism is the first step to stepping off the treadmill.   Q: Someone I love seems to measure their worth entirely by what they have or what they've achieved — how do I understand that, and is there a way out? A: Henry's story of his patient and Aimee's story of her father both illuminate how the having-more strategy develops and why it becomes impervious to reason; this episode also names the false-self as the construction that drives the endless proving, and points to the inner compass that is always there underneath it. The good news is that there is a way out and this series explores those paths to enoughness.    Key moments: [00:00] Welcome — Enoughness part 2: having enough [00:30] Having enough isn't really about the amount — it's the belief that acquiring this much will make the bad feelings go away  [01:00] Conditional acceptance and love: growing up having to produce, perform, or prove before being given love — the untended grief that drives the proving [01:30] Francis Weller: what happens when we aren't born into a village with a full, joyous welcome of our gifts  [02:00] Henry's story: a venture capital executive, clearly depressed, sent to therapy against his will  [04:00] CBT couldn't break through — his thinking was so distorted he was impervious to reason; he clung to the belief that he added no value whatsoever  [05:00] The lesson Henry learned viscerally: it is futile to try to fill a hole in self-worth by accumulating money or anything else we value  [05:30] If you believe external achievement proves your worth, there will never, ever be enough — and what a drain on one's energy and vitality  [06:00] Aimee's father: grew up needing to grasp for more, family lived week to week — so grasping for more was genuinely what they needed to survive  [06:30] AImee Prasek "Money can absolutely buy relief from misery, but it doesn't buy happiness or joy with the same predictability."  [07:00] The neuroscience: dopamine tracks more with anticipation of getting the thing than with actually getting it — the reward at arrival is inconsistent and can be short-lived  [07:30] Most things can be taken away — a shaky foundation if you've built your identity or worth on them  [08:00] Aimee's father attached his worth to signs of success — culture pushes this onto us too  [09:00] His business fell apart and everything came crashing down — Aimee believes his contingent self-worth collapsed with it [09:30] Watching strangers take back the repossessed items — cars, boats, pieces of him; everything he'd staked his value on, gone in a day  [10:30] Henry: a prolonged grieving right there — it's the universal human experience [11:30] Hedonic adaptation, or the hedonic treadmill: big life events shift our mood temporarily, then we return to baseline  [12:30] Like Sisyphus: pushing the same rock up the hill, same outcome every time — all that effort does not create lasting change  [13:30] Hedonic wellbeing (drive toward pleasure, avoidance of pain) vs. eudaimonic wellbeing (meaning, authenticity, self-acceptance, personal growth) — it's not one or the other; you don't have to give up pleasure  [14:30] Socially-prescribed perfectionism added to the mix: contingencies of self-worth + hedonic treadmill + belief that others demand your perfection = perfect storm  [15:00] The belief that you can and should live without pain, full of only pleasure, proving it all the time — and it is just not true  [15:30] Henry: where the false-self gets born — when we learn that our worth is conditional on performance, appearance, or achievement, we hide the real self  [16:00] We construct a version of ourselves we believe will be acceptable, lovable, worthy of belonging — and it is exhausting to maintain  [16:30] Constant vigilance: am I saying the right thing, do I look right, am I achieving enough? Always the fear of being exposed as a fraud  [17:00] The paradox: the more we invest in the false-self, the less we're actually being loved for who we are — and deep down, we know this [17:30] Donald Winnicott's work on the false-self — link in show notes; also: the Authenticity series and the episode on feeling enough as a mom  [18:00] The false-self is like holding up a complex lie — cognitively and physically exhausting  [18:30] The inner compass is always there underneath the false-self — that knowing of our worth is never lost; it's never too late to come back to it  [19:00] Head to your Experiment in the Joy Lab Program to work on having enough; head to JoyLab.coach to access the Experiments [19:00] Closing wisdom from Lynne Twist: "Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough."   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

We opened with Zilla Fatu, fresh off not winning the NXT Championship at Heatwave, coming to the ring to talk instead of fight. He admitted he expected to win the title and didn't get the job done. But because nobody in NXT is ever allowed to finish a thought, Tristan Angels interrupted wearing what might be the most ridiculous pants I have ever seen on television. Angels called Fatu the lowest end of his bloodline — get it, folks — and said the fans were already bored of him. They brawled, Fatu went for the Samoan Spike, and Angels bailed. Zilla went from an NXT Title match to THIS? Jesus, folks.Naraku beat Shiloh Hill using green mist rubbed into his eyes behind the ref's back — decent match, cheap win. Romeo Moreno & Noam Dar beat Sean Legacy & Dorian Van Dux in a fun tag match after Legacy's knee gave out, and then the Creed Brothers returned out of nowhere and laid out Dar and Moreno, declaring themselves back in NXT. Big moment, folks.New NXT Women's Champion Kelani Jordan came out in one of Trish Stratus' old coats and cut a full heel promo — she earned it, she's the greatest, she's underappreciated, and she doesn't want to hear the fans say she deserves it since they never got behind her in the first place. She recapped her Heatwave win over Kendal Grey, complete with a turnbuckle demonstration, and bragged that she's the only person ever to win the NXT North American Title, the TNA Knockouts Title, and the NXT Women's Title all on her first try at each. Then Jaida Parker walked out, said making Nattie tap at Heatwave puts her next in line, and offered to fight for the title tonight. Jordan agreed to the match — just not tonight, NEXT WEEK — then literally bumped into Thea Hail on her way out.Thea Hail beat Evolve Women's Champion Nikkita Lyons in a non-title match with a Hail Mary — boring match, folks. Mason Rook FINALLY got his first NXT singles win, beating Kam Hendrix with the Rookus Slam after Hendrix's exposed turnbuckle backfired on him. Long overdue, folks.Zilla Fatu got his rematch with Tristan Angels later in the night and won clean with a superkick, a Samoan Drop, and the Triple Z Spike — his first NXT singles victory. Afterward, Birthright came out and asked Fatu to join them. Fatu considered it, then said "Hello! More like, Hell No!" and got away before they could jump him. Great line, folks.And finally, new NXT Champion Grayson Waller came out to basically no reaction — earlier in the night he was wearing an absolutely tremendous t-shirt with a picture of a sad Cruz Montana on it, easily the best thing on the whole show, but he covered it up with a boring black hoodie for the actual promo. We just can't have nice things, folks. He mocked Robert Stone and Vic Joseph, ran through his WWE accolades, and called winning the NXT Title the biggest thing he's ever done. He dismissed Zilla Fatu, dismissed Cruz Montana (revealing the Sad Montana shirt underneath — yes!), and dismissed Tony D'Angelo. Then the chaos started: Saquon Shugars stepped up, interrupted by Cruz Montana, interrupted by EK Prosper, interrupted by Mason Rook, interrupted by Tony D'Angelo, interrupted by Robert Stone, interrupted by Keanu Carver — seven interruptions, folks — until Carver actually solved everything by suggesting a six-man tag next week, with the winning team getting a triple threat, and the winner of THAT becoming the number one contender. Stone, shocked someone had a good idea, just said "OK!" Then everybody brawled. Total mess, folks.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and tell me — who should actually be next for Grayson Waller?Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production

Experiences with stress, depression, and anxiety are often paired with feelings of not measuring up or that you're not enough. However, feeling that you're lacking in some way is not limited to a mental health diagnosis; these feelings are actually very common and, unfortunately, they make our lives smaller. We're working on our Element of Enoughness in this episode, identifying Enoughness as an inner knowing that you are enough just as you are, with acceptance of where you are at this moment, without giving up on where you're headed. We'll start by identifying some obstacles to that knowing through two powerful research frameworks. The first is Dr. Jennifer Crocker's "contingencies of self-worth." This is the idea that we stake our self-esteem more heavily on certain domains than others, and when we do, our worth rises and falls with our performance in those areas.   The second framework is Drs. Paul Hewitt and Gordon Flett's three typologies of perfectionism: self-oriented (impossible standards for yourself), other-oriented (impossible standards for others), and socially-prescribed (believing others are demanding your perfection). Henry also names the common root for our feelings of not being enough: the fundamental fear of not belonging.  This is the start of our series on Enoughness, so be sure to stick with us for the next episodes as we talk about and gain skills related to having enough, doing enough, knowing enough, and being enough.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Isn't that just an excuse to stop growing? A: Enoughness, as Joy Lab defines it, is the inner knowing that you are enough just as you are, with acceptance of where you are, without giving up on where you're headed. Enoughness is distinct from self-esteem (which rises and falls with performance) and is closer to unconditional self-worth; this episode explains the distinction and why believing you are enough actually makes you more open to genuine growth, not less.   Q: Why do I feel so driven to prove myself even when I know it's exhausting and not working? A: That's the contingencies of self-worth in action. When we stake our self-esteem on certain domains, we strive or perform not to learn or grow but to prove our worth; this episode explains the mechanism, its real costs, and why loosening those contingencies is not giving up on goals but can help free yourself from letting outcomes dictate your value.    Key moments: [00:00] Welcome to the brand new Element of Enoughness  [00:30] Opening fact: you are enough — and the Zen teaching Henry loves: "You're perfect as you are, and you could use a little improvement"  [01:00] Aimee's working definition: Enoughness is the inner knowing that you are enough just as you are, with acceptance of where you are, without giving up on where you're headed  [01:30] Contentment spiked with hope — Enoughness is not a ceiling, it's a foundation  [02:00] Why Enoughness is hard to define operationally — but viscerally familiar; we know what having it and lacking it feels like  [03:00] Henry: this topic lives in the conversation around scarcity and abundance — how much is enough is a question we don't give enough thought to  [03:30] Most of us carry on as though we don't have or aren't enough — striving, or feeling bad for what we think we lack  [04:00] The rare person who feels comfortable in their own skin: receives praise but doesn't need it — and stands out for it  [04:30] Four dimensions to explore: having enough, doing enough, knowing enough, and being enough  [06:00] Two key frameworks for the month: contingencies of self-worth (Dr. Jennifer Crocker) and typologies of perfectionism (Drs. Hewitt and Flett) [06:30] Contingencies of self-worth: we don't stake self-esteem equally on everything — certain domains carry more of our worth  [07:00] Three key claims: contingencies motivate where we put attention and effort; they influence how we react in those domains; they can lead to fragile self-esteem linked to higher depression and anxiety  [07:30] Contingencies turn "I feel good about myself" into "I feel good about myself if..."  [08:00] Crocker's college student study: students who tied self-worth to academic performance studied more hours — but extra studying did NOT predict a higher GPA  [08:30] They were studying to prove worth, not to learn — and reported more conflict, more academic struggle, more dissatisfaction by end of freshman year  [09:30] Key takeaway: you can be motivated to do well without attaching self-worth to the outcome — that's actually the more effective route  [10:00] Loosening contingencies isn't surrendering goals — it's refusing to let outcomes or others' judgments dictate your value  [10:30] Henry: inadequacy is closer to the truth than insecurity — the belief that we're not enough permeates almost everything  [11:00] Buddhist psychology: grasping — endless grasping — as the manifestation of not-enoughness  [11:30] No matter how much we get of the thing we think will fill us up, it doesn't last — this tragic gap drives anxiety and depression  [12:30] Aimee: feeling inadequate shakes our sense of security and safety — evolutionary roots, we need the group to survive  [13:00] Important distinction: self-esteem (rises and falls with performance), fragile self-esteem (staked on outcomes we grasp onto), and self-worth (intrinsic, not performance-dependent)  [14:00] Baumeister's challenge to the self-esteem movement of the '80s and '90s — hollow self-esteem building is at best unsubstantiated, potentially harmful  [14:30] Baumeister and Vohs, "Narcissism as Addiction to Esteem": chasing self-esteem through reality-detached praise creates a dopamine-like loop — feels good briefly, drops quickly, tolerance builds, need more and more  [15:30] The addiction pattern: constantly chasing the next hollow boost, convinced it'll finally hold — and it never does [16:30] Henry: why do we give our lifeblood chasing what we know deep down won't give us what we want?  [17:00] The fundamental human drive: to belong — to be seen, appreciated, cared about — once basic biological needs are met  [17:30] The tension: deep need to belong vs. the illusion that we are separate and must go it alone  [18:00] Neuroscience of belonging: newly born neurons immediately extend to connect with others — if insufficiently connected, they shrivel and die; same for us  [19:00] Introduction of perfectionism typologies from Drs. Paul Hewitt and Gordon Flett  [19:30] Type 1 — Self-oriented: punishing standards for yourself, intense drive to be perfect and avoid failure  [19:45] Type 2 — Other-oriented: same rigid standards applied to others — hard on relationships, linked to more loneliness  [20:00] Type 3 — Socially-prescribed: believing others are demanding your perfection and will judge you if you fail — most linked to depression, hopelessness, and possibly suicidal ideation  [21:00] Henry: socially-prescribed perfectionism feels like the loneliest of the three — you're playing by rules you didn't design, trapped in a system you didn't agree to  [21:30] All three stem from the same root: the fundamental fear of not being enough, of not belonging  [22:00] Self-oriented: "If I'm not perfect, I'm not worthy of belonging" — attacking yourself to earn your own permission to exist  [22:30] Other-oriented: projecting the fear outward — demanding others meet standards because that's what you believe it takes to matter  [23:00] Socially-prescribed: the loneliest — responding to what you believe the world demands, even though that belief deserves to be questioned  [23:30] Most of us carry all three — when we can name these patterns, we have a choice; we can loosen the grip  [24:00] Aimee: all of these types come from a good place — wanting to matter, wanting others to matter — it's driven by a desire for connection  [25:00] Pushback addressed: will believing you're enough make you lazy, entitled, or narcissistic? No — Enoughness is not the same as self-esteem  [25:30] Enoughness is a neutral, solid ground — you can feel bad about a mistake and still feel like enough as a person  [26:00] When you feel like enough: you can take criticism without your value collapsing; apologize without self-destruction; make mistakes and still belong  [27:00] Joy Lab Program Experiment for Enoughness — head to JoyLab.coach  [27:30] This is a collective experiment — to feel like enough, we have to offer that to others  [28:00] Closing wisdom from Lao-Tzu: "When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you."   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

If you've ever stared at a red, itchy patch of skin wondering why nothing you're trying seems to actually fix it, you're not alone, and you're not doing anything wrong. Skin issues like eczema are rarely just a skin problem. They're usually your body's way of telling you something deeper needs attention, and once you understand what that something is, the path forward gets a lot clearer. In this episode, Dr. Rachaele Carver shares her own decade-long journey with eczema and the three-step framework she now uses to help people heal without relying on immune-suppressing steroids.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis often signal that your body's elimination pathways, like the liver, kidneys, bowels, and lymph, are overwhelmed rather than functioning as a standalone skin issue.The foundational nutrients Dr. Carver considers essential before any detox protocol, including minerals, B vitamins, vitamin C, fat-soluble vitamins, and magnesium, and why taking them in isolation often falls short.How genetic factors like MTHFR mutations and COMT status can change which forms of B vitamins and other nutrients actually work for your body.Why opening up drainage pathways, especially the bowels and lymph, has to happen before detoxification, and what can go wrong when that order gets skipped.What the Herxheimer reaction is, why it happens, and why giving up on detox at that point often means the real issue was never addressed.Key Insights: Dr. Carver walks through her own three-step process for supporting the body through skin conditions like eczema. Step one is repleting nutrients, since toxicity tends to create deficiencies, and without the right foundational building blocks, even expensive supplements may not do much. Step two is draining the elimination organs, particularly the bowels and lymph system, which often get sluggish long before symptoms show up anywhere else in the body.She's candid about how much trial and error was involved in figuring this out for herself, including genetic testing that helped her understand her own detox pathways. And she's clear that jumping straight to detox, which is step three, before the first two steps are in place is one of the most common reasons people cycle through feeling better and then relapsing.Connect With Dr. Carver on IG

What if your body is willing to sacrifice your teeth just to protect everything else? Brooke Young sits down with Dr. Rachaele Carver, a biologic dentist in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, to unpack how she diagnoses oral disease by looking well beyond the tooth. Dr. Carver breaks down why fluoride isn't the fix conventional dentistry claims it is, how gut health and toxicity quietly drive decay and gum disease, and why she tests for both before she ever picks up a drill. That same conviction is what built a practice patients now travel hours to visit. If you've ever wondered whether decay is about more than sugar and brushing, this episode will change how you look at every chart.

Most Americans know George Washington Carver as “the Peanut Man.” But peanuts are actually one of the least interesting parts of his story.In this solo episode of the AgCulture Podcast, Paul goes beyond the familiar version of Carver's life to explore how he approached one of the biggest agricultural challenges facing the American South: How do you build resilient farms and rural communities when the entire system has become dependent on a single cash crop?Carver saw agriculture as an interconnected system of healthy soil, diverse crops, household nutrition, local resources, farmer education, and viable markets. Working with farmers who often had little money to invest, he developed practical ways to restore depleted soils, diversify away from continuous cotton production, improve family food security, and create economic opportunities around new crops.Paul explores Carver's early fascination with plants, his scientific training at Iowa State, his move to Tuskegee, the famous Jesup agricultural wagon, the arrival of the boll weevil, and how Carver worked to solve not only the biological problem of crop diversification—but the economic problem of convincing farmers to actually adopt it.More than a century later, his story raises surprisingly modern questions about monocultures, markets, technology adoption, extension, soil health, and what it really takes to make agriculture more resilient.MEET THE HOSTPaul Windemuller is a dairy farmer, entrepreneur, Nuffield International Farming Scholar, and host of the AgCulture Podcast. His work explores the intersection of agriculture, technology, business strategy, and the ideas that shape resilient farms and rural communities.In this historical solo series, Paul steps away from conversations about what agriculture might look like tomorrow to examine the farmers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators who helped shape it in the first place.Through Carver's story, Paul explores a recurring theme of the AgCulture Podcast: lasting agricultural innovation happens when science, economics, practical farming, and the needs of the people actually doing the work come together.ABOUT THE PODCASTDiscover the world of agriculture with the "Ag Culture Podcast". This podcast will be a gateway for those passionate about agriculture to explore its global perspectives and innovative practices.Join Paul as he shares his experiences in the agricultural industry, his travels and encounters with important figures around the world.Available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Subscribe at http://www.agculturepodcast.com and keep an eye out for future episodes, bringing insights and stories from the vibrant world of agriculture.

The owners of the Coeymans Industrial Park have agreed to restore wetlands, monitor stormwater runoff, and spend $1.1 million on environmental projects to settle two lawsuits brought by the environmental group Riverkeeper. The settlement, reached Thursday, August 13, resolves lawsuits accusing the industrial park and its owner, Carver Laraway, of violating the Clean Water Act by allegedly allowing polluted stormwater from the park to enter Coeymans Creek, a tributary of the Hudson River, and by filling wetlands and tributaries of the creek without required federal permits. Riverkeeper Senior Attorney Mike Dulong talks with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Have you ever felt like you did everything right, changed your diet, ran the tests, saw every specialist, and you're still stuck with the same chronic symptom that just won't budge? That was Dr. Rachaele Carver's own story with eczema, and it's the story of so many patients who walk into her practice with a long list of labels and no real answers. In this conversation, she sits down with Dr. Adam Suzman, founder of Immortal Wellness, to talk about a piece of the healing puzzle that almost never gets addressed, the mental and emotional residue we carry in the body long after the original event is gone.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why quantum physics is shifting our understanding of the body away from a simple lock and key model and toward frequency, vibration, and energy.How unresolved emotional experiences, even ones we've consciously forgotten, can get stored in the body and quietly shape our health, our relationships, and how quickly we age.What the "weed, seed, feed" framework looks like when it's applied to mental and emotional patterns instead of just gut bacteria.Why Dr. Suzman believes anger and unresolved trauma can be more damaging to the body than we give them credit for, and how that connects to chronic disease and premature aging.How Dr. Carver is using frequency-based tools like the Miracle Tooth alongside her clinical work to support the body's natural terrain instead of only treating symptoms.About Dr. Adam Suzman:Dr. Adam Suzman spent twenty years practicing homeopathic medicine across South Africa, France, India, and Australia before shifting his focus to research and remedy development. He is the founder of Immortal Wellness, a company built around the idea that lasting health requires clearing the mental and emotional backlog we carry from our past, not just addressing the body on a physical level.Key Insights:So much of this conversation circles back to one idea, that we are not just physical beings reacting to physical inputs. Dr. Suzman shares how his own remedies came out of a very personal discovery, that events he thought he had fully processed and moved past were still living somewhere in his body, quietly shaping how he showed up in relationships and in the world. Dr. Carver connects this directly to what she sees clinically, that patients with chronic, hard to explain symptoms are so often the ones carrying stuck emotional patterns underneath the physical picture.They also get into the idea of terrain over germ theory, the belief that it's the environment inside the body, not just the presence of bacteria or pathogens, that determines whether we stay well or get sick. Dr. Carver ties this back to her own work in the mouth, where she's seeing that same principle play out on the microscope slide every day. And toward the end, the conversation lands somewhere beautifully simple, that healing often starts with just asking your own body what it thinks is wrong, and actually listening for the answer.Connect With Dr. Adam Suzman: Website: infinitewellness.org Connect With Dr. Carver on IG

Ever catch yourself weighing yourself before you'll take a picture with your own kids, or quietly promising you'll "just" lose a few pounds before you let yourself feel good? If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is going to feel like a long exhale. I sat down with Carrie Lupoli, a behavior specialist turned nutrition and mindset expert, and we went deep into why so many of us, and so many of our daughters, carry a belief that our worth is tied to how we look. Carrie calls it "the corset," and once you see it, you can't unsee it.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why "calories in, calories out" is one of the most damaging myths in nutrition, and what actually drives lasting change in your body.How Carrie's own daughters taught her, at ages five and six, that she was modeling diet culture without ever saying the word "calories."The real reason 90% of diets and weight loss strategies fail, and why chasing weight loss instead of health gets you neither.A simple, sustainable approach to blood sugar balance (PFC3: protein, fat, and carb together every three hours) that works for adults and kids alike.Why a five-minute "morning time" practice built around gratitude, learning, and time blocking can be the difference between a regulated day and a reactive one.About Carrie Lupoli: Carrie Lupoli spent 30 years as a behavior specialist working in schools, with parents, educators, and even corporations before turning that expertise toward nutrition and self-worth. After watching her own daughters absorb diet culture from her without her ever intending it, she went on a deep dive that led her to blood sugar science, behavior change, and ultimately her book, From Corset to Crown. She now works with tens of thousands of women through her practice and team of coaches.Key Insights: Carrie's biggest reframe is that the diet, weight loss, and food industries aren't designed for your best interest, they're designed to keep you coming back. That's why nearly every nutritional certification is built on deprivation and caloric restriction, even though nothing in the body thrives in a deficit. Her approach, PFC3, is built on eating protein, fat, and carbohydrates together every three hours to stabilize blood sugar, which she calls the body's love language.We also talked about identity versus goals. Carrie's philosophy is that you'll always be "a person trying to lose weight" until you start living as the healthiest version of yourself and let the results follow, rather than chasing a number that was never really the point. And we connected this directly back to oral health, using the "put your own oxygen mask on first" idea to talk about why moms who won't floss for themselves need to understand what they're transmitting to their kids.Connect With Carrie Lupoli: Instagram: @carrie_lupoli (https://www.instagram.com/carrie_lupoli/) Website: https://www.carrielupoli.com/links Book: From Corset to Crown (available for pre-order, releasing October, includes a free ebook and 10-episode private podcast masterclass for pre-orders)Connect With Dr. Carver on IG

Was the legendary B-17 really brilliant—or dangerously overrated wartime myth?The B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the most iconic aircraft of the Second World War—but what if its reputation doesn't match reality?In this explosive episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill welcomes aviation historian and YouTube creator Will Carver to challenge one of the biggest myths of Allied air power. Known for his sharp analysis and uncompromising views, Will argues that the B-17's legendary status owes more to storytelling, culture, and Hollywood than battlefield performance.From its origins in 1930s military theory to the brutal realities of daylight bombing over Germany, this episode digs into why the aircraft that symbolised American courage may not have delivered the technical superiority it promised. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the B-17 Flying Fortress became such a powerful cultural icon The real limitations of its bomb load, range, and survivability How daylight precision bombing proved far harder than planners expected The truth about the Norden bombsight and its controversial testing history Why raids like Schweinfurt exposed devastating weaknesses How aircraft design decisions limited bomb capacity and effectiveness Why the courage of crews matters even more when the technology struggles Despite its fearsome reputation, the B-17 often carried smaller bomb loads than British heavy bombers and struggled to defend itself against increasingly capable German fighters. Its reliance on formation flying reduced speed, altitude flexibility, and survivability—sometimes with catastrophic results. Why This Episode MattersThis episode isn't about mocking history—it's about understanding it properly.Will makes a powerful point: praising equipment as flawless risks overshadowing the extraordinary bravery of the crews who flew it. Many airmen climbed aboard knowing the risks were immense, flying into intense flak and fighter opposition regardless. Their courage deserves recognition grounded in truth, not mythology. If you love Second World War aviation, strategic bombing history, or myth-busting history podcasts, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Guest Details — Will CarverYouTube Channel: ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/@HardThrasherFollow Will on Social Media:Instagram: @lordhardthrasher X (Twitter): @lordhardthrashe Bluesky: @lordhardthrasher.bsky.social Threads: @lordhardthrasher Will produces engaging aviation history content that blends humour, research, and critical analysis to challenge long-held assumptions about military aircraft and wartime strategy.Listen to More from History RageIf you enjoyed this episode, you might also like:Episode 23 — Matt Bone challenges Spitfire worship Episode 163 — Jane Gulliford Lowe asks: What about the Halifax?

Rest to Return is a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: Who do we become when we rest? Lecha Dodi is the song that ends Kabbalat Shabbat (the service that helps us transition into Shabbat) before we move into the Ma'ariv prayer service.  The idea that Creator finished creation on the seventh day comes from Genesis 2:2. Tranquility, satisfaction, calm, and quiet being created on the seventh day comes from Genesis Rabbah 10:9. The idea of creating change that's “slow, deep, and irreversible” comes from artist and activist Ricardo Levins Morales. I learned the mussar practice of clarifying our ratzon by asking “what do I want? What do I really want?” from Rabbi David Jaffe of Kirva. You can learn more in Chapter 1 of his book, Changing the World from the Inside Out: A Jewish Approach to Personal and Social Change. This quote has been misattributed to Courtney Carver. It is instead referenced by Carver in her book, Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less and Live the Life You Actually You Want. The quotation itself comes from Psychologist Nicola Jane Hobbs who teaches, “Instead of asking, 'Have I worked hard enough to deserve rest?' ask, 'Have I rested enough to do my most loving, meaningful work?'” Enjoy the live version of Lay it Down, Let it Go here. Check out the Rest to Return webpage for photos, info about the Rest to Return retreat, and more! This episode is brought to you by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Rest to Return exists because we believe slowing down is a spiritual act. IJS believes that too. For over two decades, IJS has been helping people go deeper, through Jewish mindfulness meditation, contemplative prayer, sacred text study, and embodied practice. Their offerings range from online courses and silent retreats to immersive cohort programs for seekers of all experience levels, clergy, and spiritual leaders who are ready to live and lead from a more grounded place. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is part of IJS's core faculty, and the wisdom you'll hear in this series is very much in that spirit.

On this week’s episode of The RV Atlas Podcast, we review Jellystone Park Cranberry Acres in Carver, Massachusetts—a campground that impressed us even after two out of our three vacation […] The post Jellystone Park Cranberry Acres: A Family-Friendly Camping Resort Near Cape Cod, Mass. appeared first on The RV Atlas.

If you've ever stood in the pharmacy aisle wondering if there's another way, something gentler than another round of antibiotics, you're not alone. So many parents come into my practice asking the same question. Is there something else we can reach for before we go the prescription route? This episode is for anyone who has ever wanted a few trusted, natural tools on hand for the everyday bumps, illnesses, and dental moments that come up in family life.I sat down with Joette Calabrese, a homeopathic expert who has spent decades teaching what she calls practical homeopathy, a simplified, protocol based approach that regular people, not just practitioners, can learn and use confidently at home.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What homeopathy actually is, and why it's often confused with the broader term "holistic"The history of homeopathy in the US, including why it was pushed to the margins for decadesWhy a young child's developing immune system benefits from fewer unnecessary interventions in the first few years of lifeSpecific remedies Joette recommends having on hand, including Arnica Montana, and what conditions each one can supportHow to start building your own home apothecary and become the "go to" person your family and friends call onAbout Joette Calabrese: Joette Calabrese has been teaching practical homeopathy for decades, helping mothers, grandmothers, and health minded people learn to use natural remedies with confidence and clarity. She runs the Academy of Practical Homeopathy and leads study groups through her Gateway to Homeopathy program, making a historically complex subject approachable for everyday families.Key Insights: One of my favorite parts of this conversation was Joette's reminder that these remedies don't manipulate the body, they correct it. Whether the blood is too thick or too thin, whether the body is under or overreacting, homeopathic medicine works with the body's own intelligence rather than overriding it.We also talked about why so many people are turning back toward these natural approaches. As Joette put it, people are tired of taking a pill to fix the symptom from the previous pill. That resonates deeply with how I practice dentistry too, always looking for the root cause instead of just managing symptoms.Connect With Joette Calabrese on IG

You might be doing a lot of things right, eating well, moving your body, taking your supplements. And still feel like something's missing. Like you're following all the rules, but not quite getting the results you hoped for. This conversation might be exactly what you needed to hear.Dr. Carver sat down with Carlos Cintron, author, founder of Reversible Beauty and Wellness, and someone who has walked the talk on longevity from the inside out. Carlos built his entire philosophy on one core idea: aging is inevitable, but getting old is a choice. And in this episode, the two dig deep into what that actually means in practice.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why spirituality and mindset come before nutrition and movement in any real longevity framework, and what happens to our health when we skip those foundational layers.How peptides work as cellular signalers, what they actually do in the body, and why working with a knowledgeable practitioner matters more than following social media trends.What genetic testing and mitochondrial function testing can reveal about your individual health blueprint, and why one-size-fits-all health advice often misses the mark.Why liposomal supplements outperform standard pill forms in bioavailability, and what to do when liposomal versions aren't available.How Carlos recovered from a traumatic brain injury using regenerative medicine and nutrition, and what that experience taught him about the body's capacity to heal.About Carlos Cintron:Carlos Cintron is an author, speaker, and the founder of Reversible Beauty and Wellness, a platform dedicated to helping people take control of their health through genetic testing, mitochondrial function testing, peptides, and personalized nutrition. His book, "Aging Is Inevitable, Getting Old Is a Choice," blends memoir with a practical five-element framework for building a life of vitality and purpose. Carlos is 63, looks decades younger, and is living proof of his own philosophy.Key Insights:The five elements Carlos outlines in his book, spirituality, mindset, movement, nutrition, and functional medicine, aren't random. There's an intentional order to them. He starts with spirituality because, without making peace with mortality, so much of what we do for our health becomes anxiety-driven rather than life-affirming. Mindset comes second because our thoughts genuinely shape our biology. That's not woo. There's solid research behind it, and both Dr. Carver and Carlos have seen it play out in their own bodies.On peptides, Carlos is clear: this is not a wild west, grab-whatever-looks-good-on-Instagram space. Peptides are amino acid chains that signal the body to repair and regenerate, and they can be genuinely powerful for cognitive health, hormones, gut repair, skin, weight, and mitochondrial function. But the key is personalization. Starting with a genetic test and a mitochondrial function test, the MiScreen, gives you an actual blueprint so you know which peptides your body may actually need, and which ones you can skip.One of the most practical takeaways from this episode is the supplement conversation. Most people are absorbing only 10 to 20 percent of what's in a standard pill-form vitamin. Liposomal delivery, where the nutrients are wrapped in a fatty encapsulation, can bring that absorption rate up to 70 to 80 percent. If liposomal isn't available, Dr. Carver shares her own approach using fulvic and humic acid, like Beam Minerals and Cellcore, to help nutrients cross the cell membrane more efficiently.Connect With Carlos Cintron:rvrsbl.comConnect With Dr. Carver on IG @drrachaelecarver Still dealing with bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession and not sure where to start?

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/4eu3cR3 Brett Bonecutter hosts “Thoughts on Money” with author Blaine Carver to discuss “Trump accounts,” launching July 4, and whether they're a game changer or gimmick. Carver compares them to his grandmother's $1,000 investing gift and argues the accounts' biggest impact is behavioral—getting more Americans, especially those without assets in a “K-shaped economy,” invested in markets and compounding. Any U.S. child under 18 with a Social Security number can have an account; children born 2025–2028 receive a $1,000 Treasury seed deposit, and contributions up to $5,000/year are allowed but not deductible. Funds are largely locked until 18, invested in U.S. stock index funds, then treated like a traditional IRA with taxes/penalties on early withdrawals, making them poor for college or down payments. Carver highlights a potentially powerful Roth conversion strategy in early adulthood and contrasts use cases with 529s, UTMAs/UGMAs, trusts, and child Roth IRAs. 00:00 Trump Accounts Intro 01:47 Blaine Investing Origin Story 03:45 Early Money Mindset 06:22 Behavioral Game Changer 07:50 K Shaped Economy Context 12:35 Compounding From Birth 14:36 Eligibility And Seed Money 17:50 Rules And Restrictions 20:26 Tax Tradeoffs Explained 22:17 Who Owns The Account 23:08 Retirement Focus Tension 24:40 Early Withdrawal Temptation 25:32 Stronger Penalties Debate 27:11 Basis and Tax Complexity 32:27 Take the Free Seed Money 34:19 Roth Conversion Strategy 41:45 Choosing the Right Account 46:12 Dave Ramsey and Behavior 48:40 Closing and Next Episode Links mentioned in this episode: http://thoughtsonmoney.com http://thebahnsengroup.com

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right and still not feeling well? Maybe you've tried the diets, taken the supplements, pushed through the exhaustion, and still wondered why your body wasn't cooperating. This conversation is for you. Dr. Lynn Anderson, a naturopath, yoga instructor, and author with over 40 years of experience, joins Dr. Carver for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually means to support your body, and why the answer is almost always simpler than we've been told.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why naturopathy is rooted in teaching, not treating, and how that shift in thinking can completely change your relationship with your own health.Why 90% of diets fail and what to focus on instead of restriction so your body actually gets what it needs.How chronic stress and unprocessed emotions can suppress your immune system and what breath work and yoga offer as a practical, free, and always-accessible reset.What light and color therapy is, how it works energetically in the body, and why the spectrum of natural light affects us more deeply than most people realize.Why your body's signals, including cravings, sensitivities, and symptoms, are worth listening to rather than overriding, and how to start tuning back in.About Dr. Lynn Anderson:Dr. Lynn Anderson is a naturopath, author, and Kriya Yoga instructor who spent decades working with patients dealing with chronic illness, eating disorders, diabetes, and cancer in her Los Angeles practice. She grew up steeped in folk medicine on a small island off the coast of Maine, and that grounding in nature's rhythms has shaped everything she teaches. She is the author of the Soul Walking book series and offers online yoga classes through her website.Key Insights:One of the most powerful ideas in this episode is the distinction between feeding your body and managing your cravings. Dr. Lynn describes asking her patients to focus first on giving the body what it genuinely needs, the right nutrients, the right fuel, and then allowing themselves whatever pleasure they wanted. More often than not, the cravings shifted on their own. It reframes the whole conversation around diet from deprivation to nourishment.Dr. Lynn and Dr. Carver also go deep on the concept of balance, not just in food but in how we live. From Kriya Yoga philosophy to the way Dr. Carver thinks about the oral microbiome, the through line is the same. Health is not about eliminating the bad. It's about cultivating the conditions where good things thrive.There's also a beautiful thread in this conversation about listening to your body as an intelligent system. Dr. Carver shares how she noticed her patients, and her own children, had an intuitive sense of what they needed before modern conditioning talked them out of it. Dr. Lynn's work in yoga and naturopathy is really about helping people find their way back to that inner knowing.Connect With Dr. Lynn Anderson: Website: doctorlynn.com Connect With Dr. Carver on IG @drrachaelecarver Still dealing with bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession and not sure where to start?

In this message, Nic continues the "Echoes" series by exploring a challenging aspect of our faith: Jesus as King. Drawing from the history of Israel and their complicated desire for a human king, Nic examines why we often try to solve spiritual problems with human solutions, effectively creating a "God Plus" mentality where we rely on external control—like finances, schedules, or security—rather than fully surrendering to God. Through the lens of Scripture, this talk highlights the contrast between the flawed leaders of history and the ultimate, sacrificial goodness of Jesus, inviting us to stop chasing the illusion of control and instead find true contentment by submitting to the one King whose reign is defined by love rather than power.

Rest to Return, a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: What is my sacred purpose? You can find more info about Tzedek Lab here. Settled back into his room, my dad was a bit frail…but he could still kiss us and us that he loved us! The list of 39 melachot can be found here. Olam haBah is often translated as “the world to come” and is used in reference to the afterlife. In this context, I'm using it to describe “the world as it could be” which includes dignity, equity, and liberation. The idea that each person is a letter in the Torah is rooted in Megaleh Amukot (Va'etchanan 186:1). I learned about the concept of “ratzon” from my teacher, colleague, and friend David Jaffe, Founder and Executive Director of Kirva. Rabbi Tarfon's quote comes from Pirkei Avot 2:16. One source for Rabbi Simcha Bunim's teaching is Tales of The Hasidim Later Masters by Martin Buber. The Mary Oliver line comes from her poem, entitled “The Summer Day”. This quote has been misattributed to Courtney Carver. It is instead referenced by Carver in her book, Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less and Live the Life You Actually You Want. The quotation itself comes from Psychologist Nicola Jane Hobbs who teaches, “Instead of asking, 'Have I worked hard enough to deserve rest?' ask, 'Have I rested enough to do my most loving, meaningful work?'"” The practice in this episode was inspired by a practice that I learned from Rabbi David Jaffe, Founder of Kirva, and it is one that I've enjoyed practicing with each Cohort of “Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out” that I have the privilege of co-facilitating for People of Colour, alongside Yehudah Webster. The next cohort begins in Fall 2026 and you can find more info here. This episode is brought to you by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality.

If you've ever wondered why you keep getting the same symptoms on repeat, no matter what you try, this episode is going to shift something for you. Dr. Yi Song joins Dr. Carver for a conversation that bridges 17 generations of Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom with some of the most cutting-edge longevity science available today, and the through-line is surprisingly simple: when you understand your body's constitution, everything else starts to make sense.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why your body type, or constitution, is the foundation of everything in Chinese medicine, and how identifying yours can help you get ahead of symptoms before they become serious conditions.How the tongue reveals what's happening in your digestive system, your liver, your hormones, and even your emotional health, and why dentists like Dr. Carver are uniquely positioned to spot these patterns.Why skin conditions like eczema, acne, and psoriasis are rooted in digestive weakness and damp heat in the body, and what Chinese medicine does differently than a cortisone prescription.How stem cell therapy maps onto Chinese medicine philosophy, specifically the concept of replenishing declining kidney energy, and why starting in your 30s and 40s matters more than waiting.What micro-dosing GLP-1 peptides actually looks like when used intentionally for anti-aging, and why high doses may be doing more harm than good.About Dr. Yi Song:Dr. Yi Song is a Boston-based Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with 25 years of clinical experience and 17 generations of TCM lineage in her family. She integrates stem cell therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and holistic longevity protocols to help people live healthier, longer. She is also the author of the upcoming book Heartbound and the Abridged Six Principles to Natural Longevity, available now on Amazon.Key Insights:One of the most grounding ideas Dr. Song shares is the concept of the body as a garden, not a machine. In Western medicine, we tend to wait for a part to break and then replace it. But in Chinese medicine, the whole irrigation system matters. A blockage somewhere upstream, often tied to emotional stress or long-term imbalance, can show up as a completely unrelated symptom somewhere else in the body. That's why a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment so often misses the mark.Dr. Song also unpacks why peptides like GLP-1 have real merit when used thoughtfully. The problem isn't the peptide itself, it's the dosing. At high doses, GLP-1 can impair the digestive system and cause muscle wasting, two things that in Chinese medicine represent a direct hit to your body's core energy. At micro-doses, the anti-aging effects are meaningful and far gentler on the system. She shares that she uses one milligram per week herself, sometimes less, as part of a broader longevity protocol.Perhaps the most personal thread in this conversation is the discussion of inherited chi, the prenatal life force energy we receive from our ancestors. If your parents or grandparents carried depletion, you may have started with a lower energy reserve than others. But Dr. Song is clear: it is never too late, and never too early, to begin rebuilding. Her own mother's recovery from severe osteoporosis and chronic leg pain, using a combination of TCM, stem cell therapy, and targeted herbal support, is living proof of that.Connect With Dr. Yi Song: Want to know your body's constitution and what you can do right now to get ahead of aging, fatigue, or chronic symptoms?

Today we were pleased to host Marshall Carver, Professor of Finance at Tulane University, who is currently in Beijing teaching students through a joint program with the University of China Academy of Social Sciences (UCAS). We have known Marshall since his time at Tudor Pickering Holt, and he has since built a 20+ year career in equity and debt research. He joined the Tulane faculty five years ago and teaches energy-focused courses including energy investment banking, financial modeling, risk management, and equity research. We were excited to visit with Marshall and hear his firsthand perspectives from China. In our conversation, Marshall shares his experiences teaching energy finance and financial modeling in Beijing and his broader observations on China's rapidly evolving energy, manufacturing, and technology landscape. We discuss China's aggressive long-term focus on manufacturing, AI, renewable energy, batteries, EVs, automation, and infrastructure development through centralized five-year planning, and he explains why he believes China continues extending its lead across several energy transition industries. We explore parallels between the U.S. shale boom and China's current EV and renewable energy expansion, including the intense competition, quick scaling, overcapacity concerns, and profitability challenges facing many companies. Marshall outlines the differences he sees between Chinese and U.S. students in areas such as technology and AI tools, spreadsheet modeling, and engineering-focused education. We cover China's growing emphasis on energy security and its increasingly “all-of-the-above” approach to energy development, including coal, nuclear, renewables, and EV infrastructure investments. We also discuss the country's fast-growing EV ecosystem, long-range hybrid vehicles, AI and robotics adoption, and the broader geopolitical and industrial competition between China and the United States. We touch on demographic and real estate challenges within China, the role automation could play in offsetting labor constraints, and Marshall's fascinating personal observations from spending significant time on the ground in Beijing. It was a highly interesting discussion, and we appreciate Marshall for sharing his time and insights. Mike Bradley started the show by noting that this is a holiday-shortened trading week, with most markets trading on hopes of an imminent Iranian deal, even as those hopes are ironically being overshadowed by ongoing military strikes within the Gulf. On the bond market front, 10-year bond yields were trading just under 4.5% (down from a recent peak of ~4.7%) on optimism that inflation could begin to ease if a potential Iranian deal materializes. On the crude oil market front, WTI prices had pulled back to $92-$93/bbl (down $3-$4/bbl) amid growing optimism that an Iranian deal could be forthcoming. On the broader equity market front, markets continue to post new all-time highs (dialing in a significant amount of optimism), despite the ongoing cycle of weekly on-and-off talks with Iran. On the energy equity front, investors currently appear to be sitting on the sidelines, waiting to see which direction oil prices ultimately break. He ended by noting that energy investors also seem to be positioning for the next major Energy/Electric sector deal now that 1Q26 earnings calls are in the rearview mirror. Arjun Murti discussed several major themes emerging from the ongoing Iran conflict and broader energy markets. He emphasized that nothing about the current geopolitical backdrop appears to be slowing the ongoing “power super cycle,” particularly given strong hyperscaler earnings, capex growth, and continued AI-driven electricity demand. He also pushed back on the idea that oil is entering a new long-term super cycle and reiterated Veriten's view that the market environment is better characterized as “geopolitical super vol,” with continued spikes and pullbacks driven by geopolitical developments rather than structurally higher long-term oil prices. He outlined what Veriten is calling the “Four Ds” of pragmatic energy policy: maximizing domestic production, diversifying energy sources and technologies, doing more with existing assets, and embracing digital transformation and AI. Arjun ended by highlighting China as a notable example of a resource-constrained country pursuing an aggressive “all-of-the-above” strategy across coal, renewables, automation, and AI.

The only pediatric doctor formulated probiotic and supplement for kids: microbiome-magic The test for your child's microbiome: https://www.tinyhealth.com/If you've ever done everything "right" for your kids, clean eating, good hygiene, regular checkups, and still watched them struggle with cavities, ear infections, big tonsils, or just getting sick over and over again, this conversation is going to stop you in your tracks. Because the answer isn't in the toothbrush. It isn't in the antibiotic. It starts in the gut, and it shows up everywhere.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why tooth decay in children is not a hygiene problem but a sign that the immune system and microbiome are out of balance, and what to do about it.How the oral microbiome and gut microbiome are in constant conversation, and why disrupting one affects the other, and ultimately the whole child.What early warning signs like mouth breathing, enlarged tonsils, frequent ear infections, and bad breath are actually telling you about your child's gut health.Which foundational lab tests Dr. Song recommends for children and teenagers, including why fasting insulin and cholesterol are two markers most pediatricians aren't checking but probably should be.The three microbiome champion food categories most kids are missing, and the key nutrients almost every child needs more of, even the healthy eaters.About Dr. Elisa Song: Dr. Elisa Song is a Stanford, NYU, and UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and the founder of Healthy Kids Happy Kids. She is the author of the Healthy Kids Happy Kids book and the creator of a clinically backed pediatric supplement line designed to fill both the nutritional and microbiome gaps in children's diets. She is also the Chief Medical Officer for Tiny Health, a microbiome testing company with age-appropriate reference ranges for babies and children. Dr. Song has spent over two decades helping families prevent and reverse chronic childhood illness by getting to the root.Key Insights:One of the most important reframes in this conversation is that cavities are not a brushing problem. They are a terrain problem. When the oral microbiome is off, when pathogenic bacteria are overpowering the beneficial ones, decay follows. And the oral microbiome doesn't exist in isolation. It's in constant crosstalk with the gut, the immune system, the sinuses, and even the developing brain. So when a child has a mouthful of cavities despite a health-conscious home, the question to ask isn't what are they eating. It's what is their body doing with it.Dr. Song and Dr. Carver also dig into something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime in conventional pediatrics, which is that chronic childhood symptoms like enlarged tonsils, mouth breathing, frequent ear infections, and recurring congestion are immune signals, not just developmental quirks. They are the body asking for help. And in many cases, the gut microbiome is the place to start looking for answers.Perhaps the most powerful moment in this episode is the conversation around autoimmunity starting decades before a diagnosis. Research shows that autoimmune antibody rates in teenagers have been rising steadily since the 1980s. These kids don't have a disease yet, but their immune system is already raising its hand. The encouraging news, and both Dr. Song and Dr. Carver are clear about this, is that we can course correct. Supporting the gut microbiome, optimizing nutrition, and calming the nervous system are not just wellness trends. They are genuinely preventive medicine.Resources Mentioned: [Placeholder: Add any books, tools, or links mentioned in this episode, including Dr. Song's book Healthy Kids Happy Kids and the Tiny Health microbiome test.]Connect With Dr. Elisa Song: Website: healthyhappykids.com Instagram: @healthykids_happykidsThe only pediatric doctor formulated probiotic and supplement for kids: microbiome-magic Test your child's microbiome: https://www.tinyhealth.com/FREE How to Reverse Gum Disease in 6 Weeks: ReverseGumDiseaseConnect With Dr. Rachaele Carver: Join the 6-Week Gum Disease CourseBook Your Personalized ConsultationSubscribe and Leave a Review: If this episode spoke to something you've been carrying as a parent, please share it with a mom who needs to hear it, and if you haven't already, subscribe and leave a review so more families can find this conversation.Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.  Information discussed is not intended for diagnosis, curing, or prevention of any disease and is not intended to replace advice given by a licensed healthcare practitioner.  Opinions from guests are their own, and this podcast does not condone or endorse opinions made by guests.  This podcast and its guests may have direct or indirect financial interests associated with products mentioned.
