If you've ever wondered why you keep waking up at 2am, 3am, or right before your alarm goes off, this episode is for you. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren't random; they're your body's way of sending signals that something deeper might be out of balance.  Instead of brushing it off as “just bad sleep,” we'll break down what your wake-up times might be revealing about your hormones, gut, blood sugar, and more. Think of your sleep like a night shift at a factory. Different departments run on different schedules. If one department has a problem, the alarm goes off at that time. By tracking your wake-up patterns, you can start to see the clues your body is leaving. We'll dive into the most common causes, from blood sugar dips and cortisol spikes, to low progesterone, high histamine, and even liver overload. You'll hear simple analogies like your brain's “glass of wine” being empty without progesterone, or your liver as the night shift cleaner making noise when it's overloaded that make these complex concepts easy to understand. We'll also cover lifestyle factors like blue light, meal timing, hydration, and circadian rhythm, because sometimes the simplest tweaks make the biggest difference.  By the end, you'll know how to decode your body's signals, track what's really happening, and take small, sustainable steps toward better sleep. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. This episode will help you finally understand the messages and reclaim deep, restorative rest.  Time Stamps:  (1:25) Upcoming Retreat (3:22) Why Do I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night? (5:50) Timing Of When You're Waking Up At Night (8:47) 1 to 3 AM and The Liver (9:32) Dryer Lint Talk (11:09) Common Causes of Waking Up (15:17) Cortisol and Blood Sugar (18:05) Low Progesterone (23:54) Dehydration (26:50) Gut Imbalances (29:39) Lifestyle Factors (32:41) First Steps---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: A judge in Illinois says “no” to enforcing Texas' law on runaway Democrat legislators. No surprise but worth the try. The entire Democrat hypocrisy over Congressional partisan gerrymandering is shown in this: Anti-Gerrymandering Watchdog Announces Its Support For Gerrymandering. Not really a surprise given that Common Cause is little but a front group for Democrat policy.Meanwhile, California's Newsom announces redistricting effort to counter Texas plan. Recent polling shows California voters not aboard with this idea, yet.Texas House Democrats say they will issue their demands for the next special session tomorrow. Demands?!  Maybe we should go ahead and redistrict state House and Senate seats too and draw even more of them out.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Identical House and Senate bills ban intoxicating THC derived from Hemp – new polling shows an overwhelming majority of Republican Primary voters support a full ban and oppose Abbott's idea of “regulating” such which would be de facto legalization of pot.For JCPenny and the rest (a bit of this played on the show today, it's in my regular bumper music database): https://youtu.be/mg5VwtODOJQ?si=EoIHPPSZY8j4boKr   Here's a little bit more from the Rev.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. If you've ever felt like your head was stuck in a cloud, your thoughts were moving in slow motion, or you walk into a room and forget why you're there, you're not alone. Brain fog is real—and it can seriously mess with your productivity, your mood, and even your confidence. Today we're going to talk about what brain fog actually is, what causes it, as well as peptides and natural strategies you can use to help. Let's get into it. What is Brain Fog? “Brain fog” isn't a medical term, but it is a very real experience. It describes a cluster of symptoms—like forgetfulness, poor concentration, mental fatigue, and lack of clarity. Some people say they feel like they're walking through mud mentally. Others describe it as feeling “off” or like their brain is buffering. Now, this isn't the same as full-blown cognitive impairment or dementia—it's more like your brain is just tired or underperforming. Common Causes of Brain Fog So, what's really behind that cloudy-headed feeling we call brain fog? It turns out, there are several common culprits—and a lot of them have to do with how your body and brain are (or aren't) being supported. First up, poor sleep. Honestly, this one's a biggie. Sleep is when your brain takes out the trash—literally clearing out toxins, locking in memories, and resetting for the day ahead. Without enough deep, restful sleep, you're basically trying to function on a low battery. That grogginess, forgetfulness, or lack of focus? All classic signs your brain didn't get the cleanup it needed. Then there's chronic stress. When you're constantly juggling demands and pressures, your body stays in “fight-or-flight” mode, pumping out cortisol. In the short term, that's fine. But when cortisol stays high for too long, it can actually shrink the hippocampus—the part of your brain responsible for memory and focus. Not ideal. Inflammation is another sneaky cause. When you're eating a lot of processed foods, sugar, or unhealthy fats—or dealing with gut imbalances—it can spark low-grade inflammation that messes with how your brain cells communicate. That can slow you down mentally, make it harder to focus, and leave you feeling mentally sluggish. Let's not forget about blood sugar swings. If your day looks like coffee and a muffin, then nothing until a big lunch, then a sugary snack mid-afternoon…your blood sugar is on a rollercoaster. And your brain feels it. That foggy, irritable crash? Yeah, that's part of the ride. Hormonal changes can also play a big role—especially during menopause, andropause, thyroid imbalances, or even monthly cycle shifts. Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones all impact brain chemistry, and when they fluctuate, your concentration, energy, and memory can take a hit. We also have nutrient deficiencies to consider. Your brain needs specific nutrients to thrive—things like B12, magnesium, omega-3s, and vitamin D. If you're low in any of these (which is more common than you'd think), it can show up as brain fog, low mood, or trouble focusing. And finally, there's post-viral fatigue. If you've had something like COVID or the flu recently, you might notice it takes a while to bounce back mentally. That's because your immune system may still be in overdrive, and your brain's trying to recover right along with the rest of you. Oh—and a quick shoutout to medications and alcohol. Some meds (like antihistamines, sleep aids, or anti-anxiety drugs) can definitely slow your thinking. And even moderate alcohol, especially over time, messes with memory and focus—sometimes even the next day. So if your brain's been feeling a little off lately, it might be worth looking at one—or a few—of these areas to start clearing the fog. Peptides That Help Brain Fog If you've been struggling with long-term brain fog, there are a few peptides that might be worth exploring.  Semax and Selank —both originally developed in Russia—are known for their brain-boosting benefits. Semax supports memory, focus, and stress resilience, while Selank works more on the anxiety and mood side by targeting the GABA system, without causing drowsiness.  Then there's Dihexa, a powerful nootropic that helps increase BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which plays a key role in growing and strengthening brain cell connections.  Cerebrolysin is another option—it's a more complex peptide that's often used in cases of brain injury or cognitive decline, though it can be harder to get.  And finally, BPC-157, best known for healing gut and muscle tissue, also has some neuroprotective effects and might support brain health by calming systemic inflammation. Some Natural Strategies to Clear Brain Fog Peptides are great, but let's not forget the basics or more natural strategies we can use that often make the biggest difference. Some natural ways to fight brain fog: Prioritize sleep – 7 to 9 hours. No phone in bed. Create a wind-down routine. Eat to balance blood sugar – Think protein and healthy fats with every meal, and cut back on refined carbs. Also pay attention to the order in which you eat specific foods to help prevent blood sugar spikes. For example, start your meal with vegetables, eat proteins and fats next, and end your meal with carbohydrates.  Hydrate – Dehydration can make your brain feel sluggish. Try to drink about half your body weight in ounces of water each day. So if you weigh 160 pounds, aim for around 80 ounces. Move your body – Even 20 minutes of walking a day improves oxygen flow to the brain. Get sunlight – Morning light boosts serotonin and helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Try brain-boosting supplements: Omega-3s for anti-inflammatory support Magnesium for calm and clarity L-theanine and rhodiola for focus and resilience And Lion's Mane mushroom—a favorite for memory and nerve growth And don't underestimate meditation, cold exposure, or even a good laugh. These shift your nervous system and create space for clarity. Final Thoughts So to sum it up—brain fog isn't “just in your head.” It's your body's way of waving a red flag. Whether it's a lifestyle imbalance, inflammation, or hormonal shifts, your brain is asking for support. Start with the foundations—sleep, food, hydration, movement. Then, if you want to level up, explore peptides and supplements with a knowledgeable provider. Your brain wants to work for you. Sometimes it just needs a little help.

Let's set the record straight: pain and injury are not just things runners have to live with. In this episode of the Real Life Runners podcast, we're taking on one of the most damaging myths in the running world — the belief that hurting is normal, expected, or even necessary if you want to improve.Spoiler alert: it's not.Yes, injuries are common — but that doesn't make them inevitable. And accepting them as “part of the process” only keeps runners stuck in a frustrating cycle of pain, inconsistency, and burnout. We're here to break that cycle.We'll share real-life stories from our own journey and from runners we've coached — and we'll unpack some of the most common injury drivers, including muscle imbalances, overtraining, poor recovery habits, underfueling, and chronic stress.More importantly, we'll give you practical tools to run strong and stay healthy: ✅ Why strength training is non-negotiable ✅ How to personalize your plan to fit your life and body ✅ What proper recovery really looks like ✅ Why underfueling is sabotaging your progress (and how to fix it) ✅ How to stop outsourcing your intuition to your watch ✅ And the mindset shift that will help you run for the long haul, not just the next raceRunning shouldn't hurt. And it's time we stop normalizing it. Whether you're just starting out or you've been running for decades, this episode will challenge how you think about pain, progress, and what's actually possible for you.00:43 The Trigger: Challenging Common Narratives02:02 Understanding Pain vs. Discomfort04:31 The Harmful Impact of Some Medical Advice05:32 Rant: Misguided Medical Opinions08:56 Reframing Pain and Injury in Running10:38 The Elite Athlete Dilemma19:22 Consistency Over Intensity22:45 5 Common Causes of Running Injuries39:41 5 Ways To Avoid InjuriesJoin the Real Life Runners Team today! https://www.realliferunners.com/teamJoin the Team! --> https://www.realliferunners.com/team Thanks for Listening!!Be sure to hit FOLLOW on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast player Leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

The rise of Val Lawson as president of the Rhode Island Senate put questions of conflict of interest front and center at the Statehouse this year. That's because Lawson also serves as president of one of the state's largest teachers' unions. Lawson says she's capable of policing her own potential conflicts, and the Rhode Island Ethics Commission offered an ok for her dual roles as president. But Lawson's number two is a longtime former labor official and labor remains an influential special interest at the Statehouse. That's a place where corporate lobbyists significantly outnumber advocates for nonprofit groups. In related news, efforts to modernize the state's open records law once again ran into a brick wall on Smith Hill this year. So what did this legislative session show us about the outlook for good government in Rhode Island? How can everyday citizens make their voices heard in the corridors of power? And what can be done about the broader problem of political violence in our polarized world? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in depth with John Marion, executive director of the nonpartisan good government group Common Cause of Rhode Island.

On June 17 the Ohio Senate General Government Committee held a public hearing on COS Action's Article V application for proposing fiscal restraints, limits on federal overreach, and term limits on members of Congress and federal officials. In this episode of COS LIVE, Senior Vice President for Legislative Affairs Rita Peters responds to the opponents, a strange coalition ranging from the fringe-right John Birch Society to the Soros-funded Common Cause and even Alan Keyes. Rita also shares the proponent testimony, including constitutional attorney Michael Farris. This resolution has already been adopted in 19 states, with 15 more needed to activate the constitutional threshold. 

  Gerrymandering: it refuses to go away. Despite widespread and growing public awareness and outrage, North Carolina Republican lawmakers continue to use it to rig our state's elections by drawing districts guaranteed to give themselves large majorities and dilute the power of Black voters. Fortunately, voting rights advocates and good government groups are refusing to […]

On April 22, 2025, Islamist terrorists struck Indian civilians in Kashmir. Twenty-six people were killed, most of them Hindu tourists. This attack would trigger what analysts now call the “88-Hour War”—a brief but intense conflict between India and Pakistan that ended only after American diplomatic intervention. This four-day war revealed a shift in the strategic landscape that only decades ago would have been unthinkable. When Indian forces engaged Pakistani positions, they deployed Israeli-made drones. When diplomatic support mattered, Israel stood unambiguously with India. Meanwhile, Pakistan relied heavily on Chinese weapons and Turkish diplomatic backing. The conflicts of the Middle East were being played out on the Indian subcontinent.   On this week's podcast, Jonathan Silver is joined by Sadanand Dhume, a senior fellow of the American Enterprise Institute and the author of a June 4 article in the Wall Street Journal titled “Mideast Power Plays in India and Pakistan.” In it, Dhume explains that India—once among Israel's harshest critics and a reflexive supporter of the Palestinian cause—has become Israel's largest arms customer, accounting for 34 percent of Israeli weapons exports. That story about arms exports then opens up onto a larger story about how two democracies, each seeing themselves as ancient civilizations facing modern terrorist threats, have found common cause. Silver and Dhume discuss the transformation of Israel-India relations from cold-war hostility to strategic partnership, by focusing on the arms trade between them.

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: What is Spondylosis? Understanding Spinal Degeneration & Treatment Episode Summary: If you've ever received a spinal X-ray or MRI and seen the word spondylosis, you may have wondered what it actually means. Many patients assume it's a specific diagnosis, but spondylosis is a general term referring to spinal degeneration—often linked to arthritis, disc deterioration, and misalignment. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down what spondylosis really is, what causes it, and how it can progress into more serious conditions like spondylolisthesis. Dr. Nalda also shares the best treatment approaches to restore spinal alignment, reduce degeneration, and prevent further damage. Key Topics Covered: ✅ What is Spondylosis? – A broad term referring to spinal degeneration, not a specific diagnosis.✅ Common Causes of Spondylosis: Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of protective cartilage due to misalignment. Degenerative Disc Disease: Breakdown of spinal discs, leading to loss of height and function. Poor Spinal Alignment: Just like an unbalanced car causes uneven tire wear, spinal misalignment speeds up degeneration. ✅ What Happens if Spondylosis is Left Untreated? Can lead to stress fractures in the spine (pars defects). May cause spondylolisthesis, where vertebrae slip forward, worsening spinal instability. Further disc and joint degeneration, leading to chronic pain and mobility issues. ✅ Best Treatment Approaches for Spondylosis: Chiropractic Care: Restores spinal alignment and relieves pressure on discs and nerves. Rehabilitation & Traction Therapy: Strengthens core muscles and improves posture. Customized Treatment Plans: Individualized care based on severity and progression. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Spondylosis is NOT a disease—it's a descriptive term for spinal degeneration.➡️ Misalignment accelerates degeneration, just like poor alignment wears out car tires unevenly.➡️ Early treatment with chiropractic care and rehabilitation can slow progression and reduce symptoms.➡️ Addressing the root cause (spinal alignment) is key to preventing further damage.

Episode 25:15 ABCD - Is There A Common Cause Behind Alzheimer's, Blood Pressure, Cancer and Diabetes? Most Americans, as they age, will have to deal with one or more of the following “ABCD” conditions: Alzheimer's Blood Pressure Cancer  Diabetes Each of these conditions are treated as separate conditions requiring separate specialists: A Neurologist for Alzheimer's. A Cardiologist for Blood Pressure. An Oncologist for Cancer. An Endocrinologist for Diabetes What if this approach is wrong? That is, what if these conditions have more in common than the medical profession has led us to believe? What if they are simply “different branches of the same tree?” And, what if there are a few root causes that are common to each of these conditions? On this episode I explore these questions. In addition, I share five simple blood tests that, in my opinion, reveal the root causes behind Alzheimer's, Blood Pressure, Cancer and Diabetes. This is an episode you DON'T want to miss.

"Vitamin D plays a vital role in neurodevelopment and dopamine production, which are key for focus, planning, and emotional regulation." "You can't just take Vitamin D without understanding how it works—especially when it comes to Vitamin K2." "When people supplement with Vitamin D without K2, it can actually create health issues, including cardiovascular problems." "The best way to get Vitamin D is through food first—then consider supplementation if necessary." "Most grocery store aisles are lined with Vitamin D options, but not all supplements are created equal." "If you're going to supplement with Vitamin D, make sure it's formulated thoughtfully to avoid depleting your body of other essential nutrients." "Functional lab testing helps families take a targeted approach instead of just guessing which supplements their child actually needs." "Supplements should support the body, not create new problems—so be sure to choose wisely." Dana Kay Resources:

As the US Presidential Election nears, Radiolab covers the closest we ever came to abolishing the Electoral College.In the 1960s, then-President Lyndon Johnson approached an ambitious young Senator known as the Kennedy of the Midwest to tweak the way Americans elect their President. The more Senator Birch Bayh looked into the electoral college the more he believed it was a ticking time bomb hidden in the constitution, that someone needed to defuse. With overwhelming support in Congress, the endorsement of multiple Presidents, and polling showing that over 80% of the American public supported abolishing it, it looked like he might just pull it off.
