I am excited to connect with Dr. Lara Briden today! She is one of my favorite naturopathic doctors and the author of the bestselling books Period Repair Manual and Hormone Repair Manual. She has 25 years of experience in women's health, and she currently has consulting rooms in Christchurch, New Zealand, where she treats women with PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone- and period-related health problems. Dr. Briden is a wealth of information! She brings a fresh perspective and a positive voice to the health and wellness space, and I often recommend her book, Hormone Repair Manual, to my clients and patients. Today, she and I dive into her background as an evolutionary biologist and discuss how she became passionate about supporting and advocating for women throughout their lives. We talk about perspectives on aging, what the second puberty (perimenopause) is, and the impact of histamine, mass-cell granulation, and estrogen. We discuss fat redistribution in middle age and the loss of insulin sensitivity. We speak about how using alcohol impacts brain health, sleep, the gut microbiome, appetite, cravings, and hinders estrogen metabolism. We also touch on ways to address dysfunctional uterine bleeding in middle age, explain how to advocate for your health, how middle age impacts the nervous system, and the role of inflammatory foods, including dairy. I hope you enjoy our discussion as much as I did! Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Briden discusses her background as an evolutionary biologist and how she changed her career to become an advocate for women's health. Many women fear the aging process. Dr. Briden and I discuss women's mindsets and perspectives on aging. Why is there so little awareness about perimenopause? Dr. Briden defines menopause and discusses the timeframe in which some women experience perimenopause symptoms. How can ongoing hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause, or second puberty, increase the likelihood of women having issues with a histamine response? Dr. Briden talks about fat redistribution in middle age and explains why women need to stay on top of it from a metabolic perspective. How can our modern-day lifestyle make the metabolic shift women experience in menopause even more challenging? Dr. Briden talks about natural treatments and hormone therapies to lighten the flow of the extremely heavy periods that some women experience during perimenopause. Dr. Briden discusses the connection between cow dairy and an inflammatory reaction in some people. Women need to understand what happens in their bodies when they have either a partial or a full hysterectomy. Dr. Briden talks about estrogen and brain health. How does alcohol affect the body? What are the best options with the fewest side effects for hormone therapy for women?

On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down with Stephen Howe to break down what the Christ Church disruption exposed about security, deterrence, and protecting families in an increasingly volatile culture. Stephen shares practical steps churches can implement immediately—like entrance control, locked-door protocols, and threat de-escalation—plus the mindset of situational awareness and “drawing attention to evil” before it escalates. We also discuss training realities beyond a concealed carry class, how to build a safety team with wisdom and love, and resources pastors can use to start a plan before the next crisis.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.com Follow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow To Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To ▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900 ► Receive your FREE 52 Date Night Ideas Playbook to make date night more exciting, go to www.prosperousmarriage.comStephen HoweStephen's Instagram: www.instagram.com/stephen_irl Stephen's Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/stephenirl Warrior Poet Society Network (WPSN): www.watchwpsn.com Stephen Howe is a firearms and performance-shooting instructor who trains individuals and church safety teams with a focus on responsible proficiency, clarity on legal realities, and practical readiness.

On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down with former Sheriff Richard Mack to examine the growing unrest surrounding the death of Renee Goode, the disruption of worship services at Christ Church Minnesota, and the radical left's escalating tactics. Sheriff Mack breaks down constitutional authority, the role of local law enforcement, and how political leaders are enabling chaos rather than protecting citizens and churches. This conversation exposes how ideological extremism, lawlessness, and government abdication are converging to threaten America's foundational freedoms.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.com Follow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow To Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To ▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900 ► Receive your FREE 52 Date Night Ideas Playbook to make date night more exciting, go to www.prosperousmarriage.comSheriff MackWebsite: https://cspoa.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConstitutionalSheriffRichardMack TikTok: @cspoasheriffsTruth Social: @RealCSPOAYoutube: @UpholdandDefendX: @realCSPOAJoe RigneyX: https://x.com/joerigney WEBSITE: https://canonplus.com -------------------------------------------
Send us a textWe walked into a thousand-year-old cathedral expecting history… not a feeling we couldn't explain.While no formal paranormal investigation took place out of respect for the site…, what we experienced inside Christ Church Cathedral still haunts us — and it came without a ghost hunt.Christ Church Cathedral stands at the heart of Dublin — a sacred place shaped by nearly a thousand years of history, faith, and human emotion.In this episode of Shadows of Ireland, Logan and Nicole from Generation X Paranormal reflect on their visit to Christ Church Cathedral during their tour through Ireland. While no formal paranormal investigation took place out of respect for the site, the experience left a lasting impression through subtle, deeply personal moments that challenged expectations of what a paranormal encounter can be.This episode explores the idea that not all paranormal experiences are loud or dramatic — some are quiet, emotional, and tied to the energy of places where generations have prayed, mourned, and hoped. From unexplained sensations to moments of profound reflection, we examine how sacred spaces can affect us in ways that are difficult to explain but impossible to ignore.Recorded during our journey through Dublin with Secret Ireland Tours and hosted by Chris Fleming, this chapter of Shadows of Ireland focuses on presence, intention, and the unseen layers of human history that remain long after the crowds move on.This October (1–9), we're joining Secret Ireland Tours for a haunted journey through Scotland, guided by renowned paranormal investigator Ryan O'Neill—seen on Haunted Scotland and Haunted Ireland, and Executive Director of Scottish Paranormal.From ancient locations to lingering folklore, this journey is about history, humanity, and the unexplained.

Ever thought it might be possible to stay in Paris for 20 nights without paying rent? In this episode, Annie Sargent chats with Liz Van Montfort, a traveler who's cracked the code on home exchange—the savvy way to explore France (or anywhere!) without breaking the bank. Liz shares how she spent three weeks in a Parisian apartment during the Rugby World Cup using Guest Points, plus a night in a 17th-century Dijon hotel, all while avoiding Airbnb's pitfalls. Listen to this episode ad-free Liz breaks down the two types of home exchanges: reciprocal swaps (you stay in their home, they stay in yours) and Guest Points, a flexible system where you earn points by hosting others and spend them on stays worldwide. No fancy house required—Liz's Christchurch townhouse (complete with a communal pool!) has attracted exchanges from Sydney to Provence. She reveals how to prep your home, from welcome booklets to leaving local treats, and why guests often leave the place cleaner than they found it. But why ditch Airbnb? Liz's Barcelona nightmare—stranded with luggage after a last-minute cancellation—will make you think twice. Home exchange offers verified members, insurance, and backup plans if things go wrong. Annie adds that it's perfect for slow travelers, families, and anyone tired of tourist traps. You'll live like a local, with kitchens, laundries, and neighborhood cafés at your fingertips. After the chat, Annie dives into Paris 2026 updates: the Tour Triangle skyscraper, Louis Vuitton's Champs-Élysées hotel, and the Place de la Concorde's pedestrian makeover. Whether you're planning a trip or just love armchair travel, this episode is packed with insider tips, cultural gems, and budget-friendly hacks.

By Jorge de Campos - Starting from Colossians 3:18 Paul encourages families and workers on how to handle relationships with one another. In Ephesians 5:23, marriage, is considered from a Godly point of view, an earthly “shadow” and faint “foretaste” of the Christ–Church union. The true Christian way of life elevates
Join me at the 2026 Goal-setting Workshop here - jjlaughlin.com/2026goalsIn this episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with Chris Naugle to unpack why money feels awkward for so many people, and how to shift from scarcity and stress into clarity and control.What we cover:Why money feels scarce, and how wealth starts with creation and solving other people's problemsRich vs wealthy, and why looking successful often means living on credit and giving it all backGiving as a practical money habit, including Chris's “donation letters” exercise to rewire abundanceThe “be your own bank” concept, and how to recapture interest and recycle cash flow instead of feeding banksInvesting and big purchases through a new lens, only back what you understand, avoid chasing high returns, and treat cars like a system not an expenseIf you've ever earned well but still felt behind, anxious about money, or unsure why it never seems to stick, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about money and how you use it.Learn more about Chris here - https://www.chrisnaugle.comConnect with Chris on IG here - https://www.instagram.com/thechrisnaugle/Grab a copy of Chris' book here - https://www.chrisnaugle.com/book/Watch Chris' videos on YT here - https://www.youtube.com/@TheChrisNaugle/videosIf you're interested in having me deliver a keynote or workshop for your team contact Caroline at caroline@jjlaughlin.comWebsite: https://www.jjlaughlin.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6GETJbxpgulYcYc6QAKLHA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JamesLaughlinOfficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameslaughlinofficial/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/life-on-purpose-with-james-laughlin/id1547874035 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WBElxcvhCHtJWBac3nOlF?si=hotcGzHVRACeAx4GvybVOQ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameslaughlincoaching/James Laughlin is a High Performance Leadership Coach, Former 7-Time World Champion, Host of the Lead On Purpose Podcast and an Executive Coach to high performers and leaders.

They discuss the difference between body awareness and body trust and how historical and cultural medical narratives shape the way women interpret symptoms.The conversation also challenges the idea that health must always be pursued at the level of optimisation, introducing the concept of being “healthy enough”—not as a lowering of standards, but as a way of letting health support life rather than dominate it.This episode will resonate with anyone who has felt exhausted by the constant focus on hormones, symptoms, and self-improvement, and is looking for a more grounded, humane way to think about women's health.Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of the books Period Repair Manual and Hormone Repair Manual — practical guides to treating period problems with nutrition, supplements, and bioidentical hormones. With a strong science background, Lara sits on several advisory boards and is the lead author of a 2020 paper published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. She has more than 20 years' experience in women's health and currently has consulting rooms in Christchurch, New Zealand, where she treats women with PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone- and period-related health problems.Reach Lara at www.larabriden.com, IG: https://www.instagram.com/larabriden/Lara's books https://larabriden.com/lara-briden-books/Lara's previous appearance on Mikkipedia https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/33 and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/248 and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/264 Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

“I wanted to show that you could be human and could also be kind and decisive and a mother, imperfectly but still, I think, do a reasonable job.”BBC presenter Kylie Pentelow speaks to Dame Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's former Prime Minister about the importance of empathetic leadership in the time of populism and strongman politics. In 2017 Ardern became the youngest Prime Minister in the world at the time, and only the second ever to have a baby whilst in office. She was praised for her humane approach and leadership through crises such as the 2019 Christchurch terrorist attack that saw 51 killed. She swiftly brought in gun laws and reached out to the Muslim community targeted in the attack.In her 5 years in politics she was a champion of climate change and LGBGTQ and indigenous rights, but she was also criticised for some of the harsh lockdown measures that her government enacted during the pandemic.Since leaving politics, Jacinda Ardern has been engaging in global work focused on empathy in leadership, combatting climate change and the prevention of online extremism.She's written books, including one about being a working mother, and she now stars in a documentary about her life entitled simply, Prime Minister. She's currently a distinguished fellow and part of the World Leaders Circle at Oxford University.Thank you to the Woman's Hour team for its help in making this programme.
