In this conversation, Dr. Tom Cowan discusses the concept that all symptoms are the body's natural attempts to heal itself, challenging the conventional understanding of diseases and medical interventions. He emphasises the importance of supporting the body's healing processes through natural remedies and highlights the ineffectiveness of certain medical procedures, such as stents for chest pain.TakeawaysEvery symptom we have is the body's attempt to heal.There are no diseases, only healing processes.Using herbs can help the body eliminate debris.If you have cancer, stop putting garbage in your body.Not thinking this way will lead to constant sickness.Stents do not help with chest pain, as proven by studies.Medical interventions often do not provide real solutions.The body has its own mechanisms for healing.Supporting the body is crucial for health.Understanding the body's processes can lead to better health outcomes.About Dr. Tom CowanDr. Tom Cowan is a pioneering voice in alternative medicine, known for challenging conventional views on disease, biology, and healing. A physician, author of seven books—including "Human Heart, Cosmic Heart" and "Cancer and the New Biology of Water"—he advocates for a radical rethinking of health: one that sees symptoms as the body's intelligent response, not pathology.With decades of clinical experience and a deep influence from Weston A. Price and Rudolf Steiner, Dr. Cowan now leads the New Biology Clinic and Curriculum, helping individuals and practitioners explore holistic, purpose-driven healing. His work invites us to ask not “What's wrong?” but “What is the body trying to do?”Connect with Dr. Tom CowanWebsite: https://drtomcowan.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkinturkeywithtom_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowanTwitter/X: https://x.com/drtomcowanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dr-tom-cowan/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNgDon't forget to like, comment, and follow for more health tips and wellness.   YouTube: / ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@memywellness⁠⁠⁠  Instagram:   / ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/meandmywellness/⁠⁠⁠⁠   Facebook:    / ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/meandmywellness.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠      X (Twitter):   / ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/meandmywellness⁠⁠⁠⁠  LinkedIn:    / ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/me&my-wellness/⁠⁠⁠⁠     About me&my health up & Anthony Hartcher:    me&my health up seeks to enhance and enlighten the well-being of others.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. Last week, Harvard released all its Round 1 interview invites. This week, UNC / Kenan Flagler and Georgia / Terry have Round 1 application deadlines. Cambridge / Judge and SMU / Cox have Round 2 application deadlines, and London Business School and IESE are scheduled to release their Round 1 interview invites. Graham highlighted several upcoming events being hosted by Clear Admit in October, including a Real Humans series and a series focused on MBA programs in different regions of the United States. Signups for all these events are here, https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham also highlighted our next livestream AMA, scheduled for Tuesday, October 28; here's the link to Clear Admit's YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive. Graham noted two recently published MBA admissions articles. The first focuses on the ongoing topic of H-1B visas, and the second summarizes all the top MBA programs' in-person events for October. Graham also highlighted two admissions tips that focus on the key interview questions all MBA candidates should be ready for, and a best practice for preparing (hint: don't script your responses!). Finally, Graham highlighted a Real Humans piece that focuses on MBA students in Wharton's Class of 2027. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is trying to use the MBA to transition from a transportation-related role to a career in consumer-packaged goods. They also want to switch geographies within the U.S. This week's second MBA applicant is a chemical engineering graduate who now works in Wealth Management. We worry their 655 GMAT does not fully represent their aptitude. The final MBA candidate has a very strong profile, overall, but their post MBA goals need more development. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

He emphasises a personalised approach to health care, the significance of having a purpose in life, and the need to return to basic health principles. Dr. Jacko also shares insights on nutrition, the importance of understanding food labels, and the role of exercise in maintaining health. The conversation concludes with a focus on stress management and resources for listeners to further their health journey.TakeawaysPreventive medicine focuses on optimal health rather than just treating illness.Basic health principles include sleep, nutrition, exercise, and community involvement.Having a purpose in life is crucial for motivation and health.Nutrition should be based on whole foods and understanding personal triggers.Food labels can be misleading; shop the perimeter of the grocery store.Exercise should include flexibility and strength training for overall health.Sleep is essential for recovery and hormone regulation.Stress management is key to maintaining health and well-being.Personalised health care considers individual goals and conditions.Research and education empower patients to take control of their health.About Dr. Joe Jacko: Dr. Joe Jacko is a physician specializing in internal medicine, sports and regenerative medicine, preventive medicine, and longevity science.

Ron Davison received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering (with distinction) in 1984 and began a long and successful career as a professional engineer in the energy industry.In this episode, Ron Davison challenges the prevailing narrative about CO2 as a major climate driver, citing multiple data sources and his own analyses. Davison argues that CO2's impact on climate is overestimated and that other factors like solar and oceanic cycles play significant roles. He also critiques current climate models and policies for their economic and scientific shortcomings.00:00 Introduction and Guest Background00:15 Early Involvement in Climate Science00:54 CO2 and Climate Data Analysis01:55 Challenges with Climate Models06:11 Greenland and Antarctica Temperature Analysis10:44 Sea Level Changes and CO214:42 Long-term CO2 and Temperature Projections20:02 Economic Implications of Climate Policies25:19 Extreme Weather and CO229:01 Solar Forcing and Climate Models41:38 Concluding Remarks and Resourceshttps://climatechangeandmusic.com/https://x.com/FriendsOSciencehttps://linktr.ee/friendsofscienceEnergy & Climate at a Glance: https://sensiblechange.ca/pdfs/GB-graphicsreferences.pdf—Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

In this episode we discussed a recently released research and policy brief titled “Utah Women in STEM Education: A 2025 Update.” The good news is that Utah women's participation in the STEM workforce has grown, from 17.1% in 2015, to 24.0% in 2023. Yet, there is still a huge gap. Importantly, you cannot get more women in STEM unless more women get college degrees in STEM areas, which means there is interest and preparation at the high school, middle-school, and I would even say the elementary school levels in a variety of fields related to science, technology, engineering, and math.    Dr. Susan Madsen (a Professor of Organizational Leadership in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University, and the Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project and A Bolder Way Forward) interviewed two guests to the podcast for this episode. First, Dr. Stacy Firth (an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Utah, specializing in K-12 and undergraduate engineering education) and Dr. Robyn Blackburn (a research fellow at the Utah Women & Leadership Project and one of the authors of this research brief). Support the show

Are you caught between who you were and who you're becoming? Do you feel like you're in a holding pattern, waiting for life to finally “start”? In this episode of Me&My Health Up, Anthony Hartcher invites you to embrace the sacred space between “no longer” and “not yet.” Drawing on transformational wisdom from Nancy Levin and his own expertise as a nutritionist, mind coach, and lifestyle medicine specialist, Anthony explores how life's in-between moments—whether in health, career, finances, or relationships—are not detours, but the very path of growth itself.

Are you ready to unlock the secrets to boosting your confidence and motivation as a woman?  In this empowering episode, Maraya Brown and Margaret Lynch Raniere dive deep into the fascinating world of female hormonal health and the power of tapping to transform self-doubt into confidence. Margaret shares her expert insights into how hormonal cycles uniquely impact women's energy, stress responses, and motivation, explaining how stress often gets misinterpreted as a personal flaw rather than a natural response. She reveals the critical differences in how men and women handle stress, with women more prone to rumination and self-criticism. This episode is a must-listen for women who want to understand the science behind their motivation and learn powerful tools to unlock their full potential.   In this episode: Chronic stress can affect women more intensely by elevating cortisol, affecting estrogen and progesterone, and leading to increased self-criticism. EFT is a powerful tool for reducing stress, managing emotions, and enhancing self-compassion, helping women turn their fight-or-flight response off. Self-compassion and oxytocin play essential roles in women's stress management, contrasting with how men handle stress via testosterone. Women carry unique societal pressures that influence confidence and motivation, requiring personalized strategies for empowerment. About the Guest: Margaret Lynch Raniere earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Houston and San Francisco Chronicle, NBC, ABC, CBS News, FOX and CNN to name a few.

Feeling stuck in your health journey?You're not alone! Discover why copying trends or friends can backfire—and how to find YOUR perfect balance for lasting results.In this episode, Anthony Hartcher discusses the importance of finding a personalized approach to health and wellness. He emphasizes that what works for one person may not work for another, and that individuals should listen to their bodies and adapt their health strategies accordingly. The conversation covers the balance between extremes in health practices, the significance of being adaptable to life's changes, and the value of seeking guidance when feeling stuck in one's health journey.TakeawaysJust because the science says it's healthy doesn't mean it's healthy for you.Everyone's unique and special and different.We need to take into consideration where you're currently and where you want to go.Finding that middle road is essential for sustainable health.More is not always better; balance is key.Listening to your body is crucial for optimal health.Health is a personal journey; don't compare yourself to others.Ebbing and flowing with life is important for progress.Adaptability is necessary to achieve health goals.Seek guidance if you're feeling stuck in your health journey.

Being strategic means asking the right questions and meaningfully applying the learnings. How do you do this while innovating and outpacing the competition?

In this episode, Anthony Hartcher discusses the concept of the 'pulse of life' in relation to health and wellness. He emphasises the importance of recognising the duality of health trends, understanding individual needs, and finding balance in health practices.

In this episode, Anthony Hartcher delves into the universal experience of loneliness in the digital age and unpacks the paradox of feeling “connected” even as we grow more isolated. He highlights why meeting face-to-face nurtures deeper bonds, trust, and genuine vulnerability. Along the way, Anthony explains how mirror neurons underpin our ability to empathise and learn from others, and he shows how stepping back and letting people solve their own problems can actually empower them. Ultimately, he argues that embracing every facet of who we are—and recognising those same parts in others—is the key to cultivating authentic, integrated relationships. TakeawaysLoneliness is a subjective experience, not defined by external factors.Social media creates a false sense of connection through highlight reels.In-person interactions allow for deeper conversations and connections.Trust and vulnerability are essential for meaningful relationships.Oxytocin plays a key role in feeling connected to others.Mirror neurons help us understand and relate to others' behaviors.Judging others often reflects our own unacknowledged feelings.Disempowering others can lead to their personal growth and resourcefulness.Integration of the self is crucial for authentic connections.Feeling at one with oneself is the first step to connecting with others.Beyond This Conversation Consider how these ideas play out across different generations—from teens to retirees—and in settings like the workplace, classrooms, or community groups. Reflect on the role of video calls and hybrid gatherings: Can digital platforms ever approximate the trust and oxytocin release that come from in-person moments? Think about practical steps to practice “empowerment over rescue” in your own relationships and discover how small boundary shifts can foster resilience and growth. Don't forget to like, comment, and follow for more health tips and wellness.
