What happens when someone uses your photograph without permission? Who actually owns the copyright? Should you register every photo you take? What happens when a client wants the RAW files? And what legal protection do you really have when another photographer, contractor, client, magazine, or business uses your work? For Episode 700 of Beyond the Image, James Patrick sits down with attorney Wendy Neal for a deep dive into copyright, trademarks, licensing, contracts, infringement, and protecting the intellectual property behind a photography business. With 27 years of legal experience spanning intellectual property litigation, technology, corporate law, trademarks, and copyright, Wendy breaks down what photographers actually need to understand about protecting their work and their business identity. In this conversation, we cover: • Copyright vs. trademarks: What each protects and why photographers need to understand the difference • When copyright begins: Why you generally own the copyright the moment you create a photograph • Copyright registration: Why registration can dramatically increase your leverage when your work is infringed • Statutory damages: What they are, why registration timing matters, and how damages can range from hundreds to potentially six figures per infringement • Published vs. unpublished photographs: What "published" actually means under copyright law • Photo licensing: Why giving a client access to a photograph does not necessarily mean giving them ownership • License scope: How usage, duration, advertising, publicity, internal use, and other rights can be clearly defined • Copyright infringement: What happens when someone uses your photograph without permission • Cease-and-desist letters: Whether you need to send one before pursuing damages or other remedies • Clients exceeding their license: How photographers can address unauthorized usage without immediately jumping into litigation • Third-party infringement: Who may be liable when a client passes your photographs to a magazine, company, or another organization without having the right to do so • Second shooters and contractors: Why photographers need written agreements when other photographers create images for their business • Work made for hire: What the term actually means and why simply "hiring" another photographer does not automatically transfer copyright ownership • Employee vs. independent contractor copyright: A critical distinction for photography businesses with teams • RAW files: Why handing over RAW files is a much bigger issue than simply giving a client another file format • Buyouts and exclusive rights: What photographers are actually giving up when they sell broader rights to their images • AI and derivative works: What can happen when clients modify, filter, alter, or transform photographs • Trademarking your photography business: Why trademark considerations should begin before you settle on a business name • Personal names as trademarks: What photographers should understand when their business operates under their own name • Social media handles and domain names: Why owning a trademark does not automatically mean you can claim every corresponding username • Photography contracts: How clearly defining rights can prevent disputes before they happen • Pricing licensing: Why photographers should think about the value of usage rather than simply charging for "the photo" • Finding stolen images: Reverse image searches, emerging technologies, and ways photographers can monitor unauthorized use • Legal support for small businesses: Why getting an attorney involved early can often prevent much more expensive problems later This is a conversation about much more than copyright law. It's about understanding what you own, what you're selling, what you're licensing, what your clients can do with your work, and how to build contracts and systems that protect your photography business. If you're a professional photographer, commercial photographer, portrait photographer, wedding photographer, creative entrepreneur, or anyone whose business depends on original visual work, this is an episode you'll want to save and revisit.

Forget Body Mass Index (BMI)… your weight number hides more than it reveals!Will Dahlgren of InBody USA, Amy Hudson, and Dr. Fisher explain why body composition is the real key to your health, why strength training is essential as you age, and why personal training should be guided by data, not just the scale.Will Dahlgren kicks things off by sharing his backstory and what InBody USA focuses on.For Will, BIA, or Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, tends to be the least invasive and fastest way to get a body composition measurement.While a conventional scale gives you that one number (your total weight), body composition devices break down the different parts that make up your weight. Will and Dr. Fisher discuss the “honeymoon period” of muscle-building and strength training.Many people don't realize that being too skinny is a problem too. Being too low on body fat may cause several issues, including hormonal disruption and sleeping problems.Will points out that the most common body type they see in America is the “over fat”, though there's also an “over muscle” population.Dr. Fisher points out that maintaining muscle and strength is our independence as we age and that engaging in strength training is absolutely the best thing you can do to maintain a healthy body composition.There are instances where a body composition has strength improvements but their muscle mass doesn't go up – Will explains why that may happen.Any small inflammation reduction, muscle gain or fat loss should be looked at positively.BIA devices aren't about diagnosing but tracking, says Will.Will, Amy and Dr. Fisher talk about factors to keep into consideration when tracking, as well as what to do to take your strength training efforts to the next level.As we age, even just maintaining muscle mass is a huge win.In Will's opinion, anybody who's looking to make a health change or make a change to their lifestyle should look at data beyond just their own weight.Will lists some of the qualities InBody has compared to other BIA devices. Amy sees body composition as a test that should be at the top of tests one could take to predict their future health and to assess kind of where they're at.Will DahlgrenInBody USA24 Hour Fitness Dr. Kichul Cha American Heart AssociationExercisecoach.com: http://www.exercisecoach.comSubmit your questions here: http://www.strengthchangeseverything.comStrength Changes Everything on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strength-changes-everything/id1536169608Strength Changes Everything YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJn2uiUCAumWilp3k_eTk2QThis podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

Starting college can change almost everything about your routine, including how, when, and what you eat. For students using ketogenic therapy as part of their mental health treatment, that transition can take some planning.In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with licensed mental health counselor Nicole Laurent about how students using ketogenic therapy with clinical support can navigate a college setting, where dining halls, dorm rooms, busy schedules, social events, and limited budgets can all affect food choices.Nicole shares practical ideas for:Keeping simple foods that support nutritional ketosis in a dorm roomMaking dining hall options workPlanning ahead for busy weeksUsing meal prep or delivery services strategicallyTalking with roommates and friends about dietary choicesAsking for support when staying consistent gets difficultThey also talk about the importance of paying attention to food quality. For students who are not using ketogenic therapy, reducing ultra-processed foods and eating more whole foods may still be a meaningful place to start.If ketogenic therapy is part of a student's mental health care plan, the transition to college may require some adjustments. Planning ahead, building a support system, and working with an experienced care team can help students stay consistent as their routines and environment change.If you're using ketogenic therapy for a psychiatric condition, work closely with an experienced healthcare provider before making treatment changes.

What if bread itself isn't necessarily the problem—but the ways we grow grain, process flour, and make bread have fundamentally changed?In Episode 151 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley welcomes German baker, engineer, author, and nutrition adviser Dr. Sven Mostegl. Their wide-ranging conversation explores traditional breadmaking, modern flour, sourdough cultures, wheat berries, gluten, fiber, and long fermentation.Rather than declaring bread universally good or bad, Dr. Mostegl explains why the grain, milling process, ingredients, fermentation time, and craftsmanship can produce very different foods.You'll learn:• How traditional bread differs from much of today's packaged bread• What happens after a wheat berry is milled into flour• The advantages and limitations of grinding flour at home• Why professionally milled flour is not necessarily inferior• What long fermentation may change inside dough• Why fermentation involves more than simply waiting a certain number of hours• The difference between authentic sourdough and sourdough-flavored bread• Where the yeasts and bacteria in a sourdough starter come from• How commercial yeast changed bread production• Why whole-grain flour and proper preparation should be considered together• How wheat, spelt, einkorn, and rye differ in breadmaking• Why rye is Dr. Mostegl's favorite grain• How fiber, bread structure, and fermentation may influence blood sugar• Which questions to ask when buying bread from a bakery• What equipment a beginning home baker actually needs• Why learning to handle dough by hand can be valuable before using machinery• How consumer choices can influence what bakeries and manufacturers produceDr. Mostegl also discusses breadmaking as a tactile, meditative, and even spiritual practice. Working with dough teaches the baker to respond to temperature, humidity, hydration, flour, starter activity, and the changing condition of the dough—not merely follow a clock.IMPORTANT CELIAC DISEASE DISTINCTIONOrdinary wheat, rye, or barley sourdough should not be presumed safe for someone with celiac disease. Fermentation can modify components of the dough, but traditionally fermented bread may still contain clinically significant gluten.EPISODE RESOURCESRead the complete article, watch the interview, and access the full transcript: https://drhaley.com/bread-fermentation-sven-mostegl/Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UmqcdtIaoNgLEARN MORE ABOUT DR.

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

Episode 305-BACK TO BASICS Also Available OnSearchable Podcast Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode Transcript Page – 1 – of 9 Gun Lawyer — Episode 305 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS Gun laws, New Jersey, Machine guns, Handguns, Rifles, Shotguns, Assault firearms, Legal exemptions, Carry permits, Firearm ID, Second Amendment, Defensive use, CDC data, Gun rights, Application errors SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:18 I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, my cohort in crime, Teddy, will not be joining us on the show today because Teddy is a brand new daddy. That’s right, he’s a father of a beautiful baby girl, which of course makes me a grandfather. Oh my God, I can’t even believe I’m saying that. She is just cute as a button, and I’m not just saying that because it’s my granddaughter. She really is. Her name is Alianna, and we are all so excited and happy about this. I can’t even begin to tell you. But Teddy has got his hands full with his beautiful wife and his beautiful new daughter, so I will be flying solo today with you. Evan Nappen 01:17 at I want to talk about is something important for gun owners in New Jersey to know, and even outside New Jersey. And that is the basics of how New Jersey bans all guns, and then creates a legal system that essentially allows and permits possession by exemption. I think this is why the entire foundation of New Jersey gun laws can eventually be completely wiped out because it takes what is a constitutional right and just reverses how that right is supposed to work. But nonetheless, the law is something you need to understand in New Jersey. And for those who don’t live in New Jersey, you want to understand this so you don’t ever see this happen in your jurisdiction. Evan Nappen 02:18 he place to begin is under New Jersey law, under N.J.S. 2C:39-5 (Unlawful possession of weapons.). Now, the 39-5. gun laws in New Jersey are where you see basically every firearm banned. Then the exemptions get created in two ways that essentially permit limited possession. It’s really insane when you think that a constitutional right is treated in this way, but yet it is. So, let’s take a look, beginning with 39-5., 2C:39-5. Now, subsection a. is a ban on machine guns, and what it says there is that any person who knowingly has in his possession any machine gun or any instrument or device adaptable for use as a machine gun, without being licensed to do so pursuant to (2C:)58-5, is guilty of a crime of the second degree. So, the only way to possess a machine gun in New Jersey is if you have a 58-5. machine gun license, and the machine gun license historically has been an impossibility to obtain. Page – 2 – of 9 Evan Nappen 03:51 But interestingly, I think we’re going to see some serious challenges because the way New Jersey structured this law, the machine gun license required you first to get a carry permit. At the time, virtually no one could get a (New Jersey permit to) carry. Now, over 100,000 Jerseyans and non-residents do have carry permits, and the standard that you’re left with the machine gun license is quite bizarre of having to show somehow it’s in the public interest for you to have it. And that’s absolutely contrary to Bruen, but for now, the number one thing to keep in mind is the machine gun prohibition does not have any other exemptions within New Jersey law. Only this license is the exemption. And when I say no other exemption, I’m talking about for an otherwise law-abiding citizen to possess. There are exemptions for certain military, police, etc. There’s exemptions even for dealers, but we’re not focused on that. We’re focused on other normal, law-abiding, average citizens. So, forget about it for machine guns. Evan Nappen 05:02 But let’s move now to the b. section of 39-5. Now that’s one that applies to a hell of a lot of folks in New Jersey. The b. section of 39-5 is handguns. Listen to how New Jersey bans handguns. New Jersey’s law says: Handguns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any handgun, including any antique handgun, without having first obtained a permit to carry the same as provided in (2C:)58-4., is guilty of a crime of the second degree. Let that sink in, folks. The only way you can lawfully possess a handgun, possess. We’re not even talking about carry. The only way to lawfully possess that handgun on the face of the statute that prohibits the possession of a handgun is if you have a (New Jersey) permit to carry a handgun. Evan Nappen 06:06 Now I know there are a lot of folks out there that don’t have permits to carry that simply acquired a handgun with a permit to purchase a handgun. So, how can this be? How can you lawfully possess that handgun if you don’t have a carry permit when the statute requires you to have a carry permit? And if you don’t have a carry permit, you’re guilty of unlawful possession of a handgun right on the face of the statute, which is an extraordinarily serious offense. Unlawful possession of a handgun in New Jersey is a second-degree crime. New Jersey doesn’t use the term felony. They use the term crime, but it’s the equivalent of a felony. You can think of it in that way. It carries up to 10 years in State Prison, and it has a minimum mandatory three and a half years under what is called the Graves Act. Where if you’re convicted of unlawful possession of a handgun after a trial, a judge has absolutely zero discretion and must impose at least three and a half years as a minimum component of your sentence with no ability to be paroled. You do every day of that three and a half years before you’re even eligible for parole. Evan Nappen 07:31 So, since you have to have a carry to possess it, what about everyone who doesn’t? Well, the answer to that lies in the exemptions, and we’ll get to the exemptions in a moment because we’re going to talk about exemptions. But right now, we’re just talking about the statute itself that mandates a (New Jersey) carry permit in order to legally possess a handgun. Under subsection c., is rifles and shotguns, and there it says: any person who knowingly has in his possession any rifle or shotgun without having first obtained a firearm purchaser ID card in accordance with (2C:)58-3, is guilty of a crime of the third degree. So, that makes it a third degree crime, up to five years in State Prison, if you have a shotgun or Page – 3 – of 9 rifle without a firearm ID card. The law goes further to say, unless otherwise permitted by law, any person who knowingly has in his possession any loaded rifle or shotgun is guilty of a crime in third degree. So, what about those that possess rifles or shotguns without a firearms ID card? Well, on the face of this statute, you’re looking at up to five years in State Prison. However, we’re going to discuss the exemptions, and the exemptions are critical in understanding how these possessory laws actually work. Even though the exemptions are technically a defense that you, as a law-abiding citizen, can be put to the proofs where you have to prove the defense. Evan Nappen 09:03 Then there’s subsection d. of 39-5. Subsection d. is “other weapons”, and that says: any person who knowingly has in his possession any other weapon under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. So, that’s up to a year and a half in State Prison for any “other weapon”, anything that may be construed as a weapon, if it’s possessed under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have. Look at that vague, ridiculous language there. So, anything that can be construed to be a weapon, and then the circumstances not manifestly appropriate become subject for a jury trial. So that 12 people who aren’t smart enough to avoid jury duty get to decide whether those circumstances were manifestly appropriate or not. Isn’t that cute? And you need to further know that New Jersey case law, through Kelly and Montalvo, they found that the so-called circumstance is not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have. In Kelly, the court specifically found that self-defense was not a manifestly appropriate lawful use. Imagine that! You cannot preemptively arm yourself with a weapon under Kelly. Self-defense doesn’t cut it. But then Kelly got modified with Montalvo. If it’s in your home, if it’s in your home and you have it for self-defense, then the court actually finally came to its senses, at least on that, and said, yeah, self-defense possession in your home is manifestly appropriate circumstances, but not outside the home. So, we still need a case that says outside the home, where you’re lawfully allowed to use self-defense, where you have a right to self-defense. That even outside the home, it’s a manifestly appropriate use for any other weapon. We’ll talk more about that one in the future. Okay, but there you go. Those are the prohibitions. Evan Nappen 11:32 Then, of course, we have the infamous subsection f., and that’s where assault firearms are banned. It says: any person who knowingly has in his possession an assault firearm is guilty of a crime of the second degree. Again, that draconian Graves Act, up to 10 years, minimum mandatory three and a half. Except if the assault firearm is licensed pursuant to (2C:)58-5. And by the way, that’s the same license as a machine gun license, which virtually no one could ever get. Or rendered inoperable, and that render inoperable period went from May of ’90 to May of ’91. And you had to do a rendered inoperable form. If you didn’t do it then, you’re out of the box. You couldn’t do it. Or if it was registered. Again, that registration period expired back in ’90. It may have ’90 to ’91 as well. So, assault firearms became prohibited with no way of making them lawful after May of ’91, unless you could somehow get an assault firearm license, which was a de facto impossibility, a de facto ban. Evan Nappen 12:52 In fact, as determined in the federal court decision Coalition versus Florio that I brought, it was determined that it was a de facto ban. So, that license is known, you know, essentially it was viewed as Page – 4 – of 9 fake in so many words. You know, yeah, good luck. Like it was just structured to be an impossibility and even recognized as such by essentially by the court. So, if you had an assault firearm, there was nothing that could be done there. Exemptions that we’re going to discuss next do not apply to assault firearms. he exemptions only apply to B, C, and D. So remember, B. is the ban on handguns unless you have a (New Jersey) carry permit. C. is a ban on rifles and shotguns unless you have a firearms ID card, and D. is a ban on “other weapons” without manifest lawful purpose. Evan Nappen 13:52 However, what the statute in 39-5 does not reference, but you need to know, is that under N.J.S. 2C:39-6, you will find an entire host of exemptions. There’s exemptions for law enforcement, military, all kinds, tons of exemptions. But the exemptions that have the most bearing to the average, law-abiding citizen, they’re found in subsection e. and subsection f. of the exemptions. Let me read you what these exemptions say. The exemptions say that nothing in subsection b., c., and d. of 39-5, so that is handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons under the 39-5 ban, shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about the person’s place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by the person, any firearm, or from carrying the same, in the manner specified in subsection g., which is unloaded and in a case or in the trunk, or in a securely wrapped package, from any place of purchase to the person’s residence or place of business, between the person’s dwelling and place of business, between one place of business or residence and another when moving, or between the person’s dwelling or place of business and place where the firearms are repaired, for the purpose of repair. For the purposes of this section, a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location. Evan Nappen 15:42 So, subsection e. of 39-6 exempts law-abiding citizens in New Jersey for possession of handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons in their home, and you do not need a (New Jersey) carry permit. You do not need a firearms ID card. You do not need to have manifest lawful purpose, so-called. As long as you are simply possessing in your home, you are exempted from those requirements under 39-5. It is a law that allows possession by exemption unless one has licenses, and if you have licenses, then you’re exempt under the face of the statute. And if you have a license and you’re within exemption, you have double protection, essentially. And the exemption under subsection e. applies to home. It applies to place of business. Now that means a business you actually own. It’s not just the place you work. It’s got to be your place of business that you own. The courts have narrowly interpreted it to mean that. Not even a place you just manage. You’ve got to be an owner. It’s got to be your business. But if it is, then you have exemption there. You’re exempted for moving between your residences while moving, etc. That’s the exemption under subsection e. Evan Nappen 17:22 Then there’s an exemption under subsection f., and f. again exempts b., c., and d. of 39-5; handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons under 39-5. ere the exemptions say that those prohibitions shall not apply to any member of a rifle or pistol club organized in accordance with the rules prescribed by the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice, in going to or from a place of target practice, carrying firearms necessary for target practice, provided the club has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits its list of members to the superintendent, and provided further that Page – 5 – of 9 the firearms are carried in a manner specified in subsection g., which is, of course, cased and unloaded. Evan Nappen 18:08 Here’s another exemption under f. under subsection (2). A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields, or upon the waters of the state for the purpose of hunting, target practice, or fishing, provided that the firearm is or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting and fishing purposes in the state, and the person has in the person’s possession a valid hunting license, or with respect to freshwater fishing, a valid fishing license. Number three, a person transporting any firearm or knife while traveling directly to or from place for purpose of hunting, fishing, provided you have a valid license, or directly to or from the target range, or other authorized place, for the purpose of practice match target trap skeet shooting expeditions. Provided during that whole time you’re transporting, you’re transporting pursuant to subsection g. Evan Nappen 19:18 So, the takeaway here is how New Jersey bans essentially all guns, and how the matrix is set up so that there are exemptions. Exemptions that we’ve just talked about. But keep in mind that the exemptions are a defense. The burden becomes on the defendant to have to prove that you’re within those exemptions. Otherwise you see bans. Bans that have only exemptions by way of licensing, unless you fall within those specific statutory exemptions. I think that structure is frankly disgusting as to how a constitutional right is and has been treated by New Jersey. But because of that structure, I also believe that we have a fantastic opportunity now as we see the empowerment of the Second Amendment to finally take out and take down the very foundation of New Jersey’s oppressive gun laws. Evan Nappen 20:36 By the way, I want to give you just a little heads up about a threat that is apparently lurking. This is weird and odd. I can’t hammer it down any more than what I’m going to tell you right now. But the news aggregate source called the Daily Caller, some of you may be aware of it, had an article that says “Anti-2A Group Plots New Gun Ban in New Jersey”. (https://dailycaller.com/2026/08/26/anti-2a-group-plots-new-gun-ban-in-blue-state/) This is August 26, 2026, by Harold Hutchison, who is a Second Amendment reporter that says the gun-control organization March for Our Lives, that’s the group headed up by that A one a hole of David Hogg. His group sent out an email fundraiser announcing plans to pass a weapons ban in New Jersey. And reading this is just bizarro. Remember Hogg has made his entire life and career over being a perpetual victim from the Parkland atrocity, and he’s an insane Left wing activist. By the way, if you’ve ever seen the stuff that he puts out. But anyway, this group uses this term “weapons of war”, “weapons of war”, and says, “The proposed weapons ban in New Jersey is a vital step toward getting weapons off our streets and protecting our neighborhoods from preventable tragedy.” This is a fundraiser being done by this group. Evan Nappen 22:49 When you look at the actual screenshot here from March for Our Lives, here’s what this screenshot says. From March for Our Lives. “We’re bumping this to the top of your inbox because we have a genuine, high-impact opportunity to push real gun safety forward — and we can’t afford to miss it. Right now, New Jersey lawmakers have a chance to pass critical legislation banning weapons of war from Page – 6 – of 9 our communities. When our generation first marched in 2018, people told us we were just angry kids who didn’t understand how politics worked. But together, we’ve proved that hope isn’t just a feeling — it’s an action.” And then it goes on to say, “From helping establish first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to passing landmark federal legislation, we’ve seen what happens when young people organize and demand a better future. Passing this weapons ban in New Jersey isn’t just about one state — it sets a benchmark for the entire nation and proves that progress is unstoppable when we stand together.” Then it all says, “Will you take 10 seconds to add your name and show support for the NJ weapons ban today?” Evan Nappen 24:19 Okay. I’ve got to tell you, folks. I have no clue what the hell they’re talking about. First of all, New Jersey already has the most egregious assault firearm ban on the books and that has just taken a death punch by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals en banc with the magnificent decision wiping it out under the Second Amendment with both mags and guns. Now, granted, it is stayed at the moment because the Supreme Court has also taken up this issue. But what the hell are they talking about? New Jersey’s law is on its deathbed. It’s on life support, barely. Soon to die, and they’re talking about legislators in New Jersey promoting some weapons ban that they’re fundraising on. This is either complete fraud, which who knows with those people, or absolute mistake that they’ve confused states, I guess. Or maybe, just maybe, something else is cooking up in the New Jersey legislature. Maybe they’re tipped off to it, and I can’t find it anywhere. Maybe they’re going to try doing a kicking and screaming routine, just like they did after Bruen permitted carry and made it so New Jersey had to issue carry permits. And maybe now we’re going to see some evil plan after New Jersey’s assault firearm law bites the dust. So, this is maybe a load of B.S. nonsense. But then again, maybe it’s something out there, and we should be ready. hey may be trying to pull another Carry Killeresque maneuver on us. I don’t know, but stay tuned. As soon as we hear about anything that we can pin down, we’ll be sure in letting you know about it on the show. Evan Nappen 26:36 Hey, I want to tell you about our good friends at WeShoot. WeShoot is an indoor range in Lakewood, New Jersey. It’s the range where Teddy and I shoot, and where we train. You’ll love it at WeShoot. It is the greatest range in New Jersey. We just can’t get enough of WeShoot. I know you will really appreciate having a tremendous resource right there in Lakewood, where you can get your training, get your certificates, practice, have state-of-the-art range facilities, a great pro shop, awesome deals on guns and gear. As a matter of fact, they are offering, as we speak, the Canik Mete MC9LS, which is the 2026 Signature Series called “Drip”. It’s pretty cool. You’ve got to see the graphics on the Drip. They also have a Mossberg Silver Reserve Field. Now this is Mossberg’s over and under, very cool, and it’s a great way to get into an over and under shotgun. They also have Precision Firearms, PF15F. That’s your AR-type platform right there at WeShoot. You can go there, check out these guns and so many others. They’re also running their great programs. They have their range safety officers. They’re there with amazing skilled trainers. I’ve got to tell you, folks, make sure you check out WeShoot. You can find them online at weshootusa.com. weshootusa.com. And I know you’re gonna love their website. They’ve got beautiful photography. They really do take extra pride in what they post and how they make their website. You need to check it out and see what I’m what I’m talking about. And their instructors are just fantastic. I have always admired just the unbelievably great professionalism, courtesy, just the way they Page – 7 – of 9 treat their customers. You will be treated like gold at WeShoot. WeShoot is the best. o to WeShootUSA.com. Evan Nappen 29:22 Hey, I also want to not only shamelessly plug my book, which is New Jersey Gun Law, the Bible of Jersey Gun Law. The indispensable guidebook to helping you navigate New Jersey’s insane matrix of gun laws. It’s all set up in a question and answer format. I also want folks to know that the DOJ has opened up the Federal Relief from Disabilities Program. I’ve been waiting 33 years to be able to do this again, and that is be able to get people’s gun rights restored. That have had federal firearm prohibitors. This will restore your federal gun rights, and it is great. We really owe it to the Trump administration for reopening this program that was killed in ’93 by Chuck Schumer. For 33 years, people have been unable to regain their Second Amendment rights under federal law, if they had prohibitors. o, if you or anyone you know might be eligible, go to my website, go to EvanNappen.com. You can buy my book there. You can also read about the federal relief from disabilities. This is very hot, big stuff going on because the online portal is going to open shortly, and you want to be ready. You want to have counsel, and there’s a lot that has to get done so that we can get you in. They’re talking about probably a million people needing to get their rights restored, and it’s going to be quite a logjam. So, the sooner you’re in, the sooner you can get your rights back. I’d highly, highly recommend taking action and checking it out. Go to evannappen.com, and I’ll be happy to speak to you about your specific situation and if it’s applicable for you. Evan Nappen 31:40 Hey, I have some good news, and the good news is that the CDC, you know, the CDC, who’s currently headed by Robert Kennedy, and CDC that is now under the Trump administration. Well, guess what they did, folks? They restored defensive gun use data after Biden scrubbed it and covered it up because they didn’t want that really great important information being out there about how many lives guns save, so the corrupt Biden administration just said we’re not going to talk about it. We’re going to wipe it out. We’re not going to put that out there anymore. We’re only going to talk about guns are bad, and not ever talk about why guns are good. Well, it’s a new day. It’s a new administration, and that information has now been put back. I’m talking about an article here from Ammo and. (https://www.ammoland.com/2026/08/cdc-restores-defensive-gun-use-data/?utm_source=Ammoland+Subscribers&utm_campaign=b4aea4936c-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6f6fac3eaa-b4aea4936c-21268623) Evan Nappen 32:56 We love AmmoLand, and this article is by John Crump, who is also one of my favorite authors at AmmoLand. John says that under the Biden administration they had removed the data, and the studies have shown that guns were used in self-defense between 60,000 times and 2.5 million times each year. Think about that, folks. 60,000 to 2.5 million times each year, guns are used in self-defense. So, even at the low range, that dwarfs the number of guns used in murders, which is approximately 15,000. Okay, dwarfs it at the lowest numbers. It approaches or exceeds the total number of gun deaths per year, which is around 40,000, according to Pew. The wide range of estimates is because of different methodologies used. So, the lower figure is drawn on the National Crime Victimization Survey, while the higher figures primarily stem from surveys conducted by criminologist Gary Kleck in the 1990s. Page – 8 – of 9 Evan Nappen 34:41 Now, a National Academies of Sciences report commissioned by the CDC itself in 2013, this is a CDC commission study. Referenced this range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses annually. But in 2022, with pressure from anti-gun groups such as the Gun Violence Archive, the Newtown Action Alliance, and GVPedia, in a private meeting, the CDC scrubbed the website of defensive gun use information. Through a Freedom of Information Act, they revealed that the removal was purely political, folks, and this is all according to emails that Senator Grassley obtained. One of these things here argued, and this is quoting from that email in the article by Mr. Crump, and it says. Get a load of this. This is from the antis here. “That 2.5 million number needs to be killed, buried, dug up, killed again, and buried again.” Mark Bryant, executive director of Gun Violence Archives, wrote to the CDC in one of his emails. See that? They don’t like it, man, when you’re showing that guns save lives. We can’t have truth out there. We can’t have the actual information about how people don’t want to be victims but would prefer to be defenders and live. Right? That’s Biden’s administration for you. That’s the corrupt, evil Biden administration for you, removing that information. Trump and his administration have put that data back public so you can see it and you can read it. Keep in mind that’s the CDC removing specific numeral range and the link from their own research, folks. But now, under Trump and Secretary Kennedy, the CDC is returning the statistics to its firearm injury and death page. The restored language again makes it clear, points it out that defensive gun use varies by studies, and it ranges from 60,000 to 2.5 million per year. That is awesome, and that information belongs out there. Evan Nappen 37:43 Hey, let me tell you about this week’s GOFU. GOFUs, as you know, are Gun Owner Fuck Ups. It’s where gun owners make expensive mistakes, real mistakes that I hear about and try to help them. But it’s a chance where you can avoid them for free, and this week’s GOFU has to do with references on your gun application. When you need references, please clear your references in advance. Make sure your references know you’re going to use them as a reference. I’ll tell you, we may have mentioned this before in the past, but it can’t hurt to mention it again. They’re going to get an email requesting to know how long they’ve known you and whether they have any issues with you owning guns. I get cases where people don’t bother to clear it, don’t realize the person is anti-gun and doesn’t think anyone should have a gun, or has some problem being a reference. You don’t want to have that problem. Evan Nappen 38:48 Yet recently, I’ve heard of even a worse problem, and this one is just mind-boggling. I’m still going to put it out there as a GOFU for folks because don’t ever do this. Don’t make up false references. Yeah, I’m not kidding. Do not fill out a gun application with fake references. I can’t believe I even have to say this. But do not fill out a gun application and make up phony references because your phony references are going to be contacted, and that’s called falsification of the application. It’s a crime to do that. Third degree. You’re looking at five years in State Prison. Plus, it’s really stupid, and you’ll get denied your gun license. I mean, okay, do you have to write that one down? Not to put fake references on your application? I hope not, but it’s a GOFU. Make sure you’re good about your references and clear them in advance. Only put real ones down, folks. Page – 9 – of 9 Evan Nappen 39:54 This is Evan Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals.

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

When news broke that the FDA finally approved bemotrizinol — the first new sunscreen ingredient cleared in the United States in over two decades — many people in the health community celebrated it as the ultimate breakthrough in sun protection.  Since it's been used safely across Europe for over 20 years and underwent extensive safety testing, the immediate assumption is that any bemotrizinol-based sunscreen hitting shelves is an automatic win for clean living.  But that assumes the active ingredient is the only thing ending up on your skin. So the real issue isn't whether bemotrizinol itself is safe — it's how manufacturers formulate the actual products they sell to consumers. In this episode, I break down the science and safety profile behind bemotrizinol, explain why I ordered the first product available on Amazon the moment it launched, and reveal why I sent it right back without even opening the bottle. On paper, bemotrizinol is arguably the best chemical UV filter available. Unlike older chemical sunscreen ingredients that readily absorb through the skin into the bloodstream and act as endocrine disruptors, bemotrizinol has a large molecular weight that prevents it from crossing the skin-blood barrier.  Multiple clinical trials show zero detectable absorption even with repeated daily applications. It's exceptionally photostable, does not mimic estrogen or suppress testosterone, and offers broad-spectrum protection without leaving the thick white cast typical of physical mineral blockers. The problem begins when you look at the rest of the bottle. Curious to see what was currently available, I bought an SPF 50 sunscreen from BioPop Health marketed prominently around its bemotrizinol content. But turning the bottle over revealed a lineup of problematic companion ingredients: octinoxate (a known xenoestrogen banned in Hawaii and Palau for environmental and hormonal toxicity), a formaldehyde-releasing preservative, an iodine releaser restricted in Europe, propylparabens, and synthetic fragrances.  Combining an advanced, clean UV filter with legacy endocrine-disrupting chemicals defeats the entire purpose of seeking out a better ingredient. My personal approach to the sun hasn't changed: I focus on building a natural UV callus through gradual, year-round exposure, and I rely on shade, protective clothing, or clean mineral sunscreen from OneSkin when intense sun demands it.  Bemotrizinol is a genuinely promising ingredient, but until reputable brands release clean formulations free of hormone-disrupting fillers, grabbing the first bemotrizinol sunscreen you see on the market is a mistake.

Do most people really need to eat less protein to live longer? In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher responds to a new review getting attention for the claim that protein restriction may extend lifespan, and explains why that message can be misleading for older adults, active people, and anyone focused on metabolic health.Dr. Scher walks through the biology behind the headlines, including mTOR, FGF21, animal research, and the limits of applying rodent data directly to humans. He also explains why adequate protein becomes more important with age, especially for preserving muscle, reducing frailty risk, supporting insulin sensitivity, and maintaining independence.He covers:Why “eat less protein” headlines can miss important contextWhat mTOR and FGF21 have to do with protein restriction and longevityWhy rodent studies do not always translate cleanly to human healthHow sarcopenia and anabolic resistance change protein needs with ageWhy the protein RDA is a minimum, not a personalized target for health optimizationHow muscle supports glucose control and insulin sensitivityWhy protein needs depend on age, activity level, metabolic health, pregnancy, recovery, and training statusHow exercise, fasting, and lower insulin may influence similar cellular pathways without sacrificing adequate proteinProtein needs are personal. A sedentary 35-year-old, a 70-year-old trying to preserve muscle, an athlete, and someone recovering from illness are not all aiming for the same target. Age, activity, metabolic health, and muscle goals should shape the conversation.

What happens when you reach a certain level of success and realize the financial strategies you've been using may no longer fit where you are today?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Dana Cornell, founder of Cornell Capital Holdings, for a fascinating conversation about how successful business owners can think differently about taxes, investing, income, risk, and protecting what they've built.Dana has seen both sides of the financial world.He managed more than $1.4 billion at Morgan Stanley, served hundreds of clients, and eventually gained access to the advanced planning strategies being used with families at a very different level of wealth.What he saw changed the direction of his career.Dana realized there was an enormous difference between traditional wealth management and the coordinated approach available to ultra-wealthy families. Eventually, that gap became big enough that he decided to leave and build something different.Dana and I dug into what he learned behind the scenes, the mistakes successful founders often make with their own money, and why your financial strategy needs to evolve as your business and wealth become more complex.In this episode, Dana and I break down:Why Dana walked away from a $1.4 billion practice at Morgan Stanley?The 1% advisory fee that may actually be costing you closer to 20%Why do the ultra-wealthy keep most of their liquid capital out of stocks and bonds?What founders should understand about private and pre-IPO investing?Why the tax planning on a business or real estate sale has to happen before you sell?The risk most wealthy families overlook, and it isn't the marketEveryone has a CPA, an attorney, and an advisor. Almost nobody has a quarterbackOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that financial complexity requires coordination.You can have a great CPA, a great attorney, and a great financial advisor. But if nobody is looking at the entire picture and taking responsibility for how all those pieces work together, opportunities can easily get missed.For successful founders and business owners, this is an important conversation about making sure the wealth you've worked so hard to create is being managed with the same level of intention you bring to your businessTake Dana's free financial diagnostic quiz (10 questions or less — get your wealth score and freedom score): https://cchquiz.comWant Dana's tax calculator?

This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears.

Do Intrusive Thoughts Last Forever? Here's What Actually Makes Them StickIf you've ever been told "you're just going to have these thoughts forever, you'll have to learn to cope," this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW breaks down why that advice is not only wrong, it's part of what keeps people stuck in the OCD and anxiety loop.Matt explains the real difference between a thought that's neutral and a thought that feels intrusive — and it has nothing to do with the content of the thought itself. Once you understand what's actually driving the intrusive experience, you stop fighting a battle you were never going to win.Get started here: app.restoredminds.com

Are personal trainers worth it? In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher take on a common misconception: that personal training, self-care, and anything fitness-related is an indulgence rather than an investment. They explore the research behind strength training's real return on investment, from significant financial savings to the physical and long-term health payoffs that follow. Tune in to find out why shifting your mindset from expense to investment could be the key to finally prioritizing your health.Dr. Fisher explains why strength training should be viewed as an investment with an ROI rather than an expense. He breaks down a research paper showing supervised exercise therapy delivers a 15% to 70% return, far outpacing what's considered a strong financial investment.Why does Dr. Fisher believe it may actually be more expensive not to exercise? He walks through how skipping strength training raises your risk of chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and cancer, each carrying steep medical costs down the road.Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss the "no non-responders" research behind strength training. They explain how, unlike a risky financial investment, the physical payoff from working with a personal trainer or supervised program is essentially guaranteed, making it a rare win-win.Dr. Fisher shares research on the cost-effectiveness of supervised exercise therapy for conditions like cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. Learn how the data shows potential savings of between $1,000 and $71,000 per year compared to the cost of falling sick.Why does Amy call the opportunity cost of illness just as important as the dollar cost? She and Dr. Fisher discuss how conditions like cancer take away time, independence, and immune health, not just money.Dr. Fisher and Amy discuss why thinking about strength training in financial terms can be a powerful motivator. Discover how framing sessions with a personal trainer as an investment, rather than an indulgence, can help people overcome guilt about spending money on themselves.Amy explains how considering the financial impact on loved ones can be a stronger motivator than self-motivation alone. She shares how protecting your family from future medical costs and caregiving burdens adds a new layer of purpose to strength training.Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss why insurance costs and unexpected medical bills make the financial case for strength training even stronger. They explain how even people on Medicare can be blindsided by what isn't covered when a preventable condition goes unaddressed.Dr. Fisher closes by reframing strength training as a gift to your future self and your family. Learn how paying for a personal trainer today is really about buying back health, time, and money you'd otherwise spend treating preventable disease.Exercisecoach.com: http://www.exercisecoach.comSubmit your questions here: http://www.strengthchangeseverything.comStrength Changes Everything on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strength-changes-everything/id1536169608Strength Changes Everything YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJn2uiUCAumWilp3k_eTk2QThis podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

Can ketogenic therapy be safe for someone with heart disease, atherosclerosis, or a stent? Can you follow a ketogenic diet without losing weight? In this Metabolic Mailbag episode, Dr. Bret Scher answers viewer questions about ketogenic therapy, cardiovascular risk, anorexia recovery, pregnancy and nursing, schizophrenia remission, keto on a budget, and whether doctors learn about ketogenic therapy in medical school.He covers:Ketogenic therapy and cardiovascular disease after a stent or atherosclerosisHow to follow a ketogenic diet without unwanted weight lossWhat early research suggests about ketogenic therapy for weight-restored anorexiaKetogenic therapy during pregnancy or nursing, and why clinical supervision is essentialLab markers that may change during sustained nutritional ketosisWhy schizophrenia symptom remission is different from a cureHow genetics and metabolism may both contribute to serious mental illnessBudget-friendly ways to approach a well-formulated ketogenic dietWhy keto is rarely taught in medical schoolThe big takeaway is that ketogenic therapy is best understood as a clinical tool, not a one-size-fits-all template. Heart history, weight goals, symptoms, labs, pregnancy, medications, budget, and support all shape what the right approach looks like.

What if eating nutritious food isn't enough because what really matters is what your body can actually digest, absorb, and utilize?In Episode 150 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley sits down with Dr. Ryan Jones, a Doctor of Oriental and Complementary Medicine with decades of experience spanning traditional healing systems, nutritional medicine, supplement formulation, and manufacturing.The conversation begins with monolaurin—the monoglyceride of lauric acid at the heart of Lauricidin®—and expands into a much bigger discussion about gut health, the microbiome, food sensitivities, probiotics, fermented foods, immune health, supplement quality, and why improving health usually requires much more than simply adding another pill or supplement.Dr. Jones explains why Lauricidin comes in tiny pellets, why he recommends starting with small amounts and gradually increasing intake, and how he believes monolaurin fits into a broader approach to digestive and immune health.Michael and Ryan also dig into coconut oil and lauric acid, leaky gut, Candida, probiotics, homemade sauerkraut and kefir, food sensitivities, topical products, and what Ryan has learned from working inside the supplement and cosmetic manufacturing industries.In This EpisodeWhat monolaurin and glycerol monolaurate areLauric acid, coconut oil, and MCT oilsWhy Lauricidin is made as small pelletsWhy Dr. Jones recommends starting low and increasing slowlyDigestion, absorption, and the idea that "it's not what you eat—it's what you absorb"The gut microbiome and dysbiosisWhy there may be no single "magic bullet" for chronic health problemsFood sensitivities and Dr. Jones' experience with NAETWhat may contribute to increased intestinal permeability or "leaky gut"Probiotics, fermented foods, kefir, and homemade sauerkrautColloidal silver and topical antimicrobial approachesOral health, toothpaste, lotions, deodorant, and other Lauricidin productsLow-potency supplements and what Dr. Jones calls the "pixie dust effect"What decades of supplement formulation have taught him about the industryHow Dr. Jones personally incorporates Lauricidin into his lifestyleEpisode Timestamps00:00 — You Can't Drug the Body Back to Health00:48 — Meet Dr. Ryan Jones03:39 — What Is Lauricidin and Monolaurin?06:36 — Monolaurin, Lauric Acid & Breast Milk08:43 — Coconut Oil vs. Concentrated Monolaurin10:48 — Why Lauricidin Uses Pellets13:18 — Eastern Medicine Meets Modern Formulation15:22 — Caprylic, Capric & Lauric Acid Explained19:50 — It's Not What You Eat—It's What You Absorb21:48 — Monolaurin and the Gut Microbiome24:08 — What Research Would Dr. Jones Fund?27:35 — Why One Intervention May Not Be Enough31:14 — Colloidal Silver & Topical Approaches32:27 — Wounds, Scarring & Secondary Infection35:44 — Herpes, Shingles & Viral Load Discussion38:28 — Monolaurin, COVID & Immune Health40:26 — Food Sensitivities and NAET42:06 — Why There Is No Health "Magic Bullet"44:20 — Which Microorganisms Are Most Susceptible?48:23 — What Causes "Leaky Gut"?50:46 — Dr. Jones' Gut Health Approach54:19 — Probiotics, Kefir & Homemade Sauerkraut58:15 — Oral Health, Toothpaste & Lauricidin Products1:02:57 — Natural Deodorant & the Skin Microbiome1:05:00 — What the Supplement Industry Gets Wrong1:06:33 — Low Potency & the "Pixie Dust" Problem1:09:47 — How Dr. Jones Uses Lauricidin Personally1:11:23 — Final ThoughtsDr. Ryan Jones & LauricidinDr. Ryan Jones: https://www.lauricidin.com/collections/dr-ryanLauricidin®: https://www.lauricidin.com/Dr. Jones' Gut Health Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-protocol-for-gut-health-using-monolaurin-by-dr-ryan-jonesDr. Jones' Leaky Gut Support Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-leaky-gut-support-using-lauricidin-by-dr-ryan-jonesLauricidin Pro — Health Professional Resources: https://www.lauricidin.pro/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauricidin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lauricidin/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lauricidinX: https://x.com/lauricidinFull Episode ResourcesShow notes, video, resources, and additional information: https://drhaley.com/monolaurin-gut-health/About The Dr. Haley ShowThe Dr. Haley Show explores health, nutrition, natural medicine, longevity, the microbiome, lifestyle, and unconventional ideas about human health.Hosted by Dr. Michael Haley. https://drhaley.com/Haley Nutrition: https://haleynutrition.com/Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

You went looking for Infinite Banking, or maybe "be your own bank," and a max funded IUL came back as the answer: market-linked growth, tax-free access, no downside. On paper, it sounds like whole life, only better. https://youtu.be/UMTiXDmYNok A max funded IUL is an indexed universal life policy funded at or near the maximum premium the IRS allows before the contract becomes a modified endowment contract. It's not a separate product, but a funding decision applied to an ordinary IUL that pushes cash value growth harder while offsetting internal costs. Max funding gets invoked to explain why an IUL didn't work: you just didn't fund it hard enough. But a product that needs funding to its legal ceiling to perform as illustrated says something about the product, not just the strategy. Max funding improves the odds. It doesn't remove the fragility underneath. What Is a Max Funded IUL?Why Max Funded IULs Are Marketed So AggressivelyThe IUL Fees the Illustration Doesn't Show YouWhy Your Credited Return Is Not the Index's ReturnThe Rising Cost of Insurance Inside an IULCan a Max Funded IUL Still Lapse?Max Funding a Whole Life Policy InsteadWhen Max Funding an IUL Makes SenseWhat to Ask Before You Fund OneBook a Strategy CallFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a max funded IUL?What does max funding an IUL actually mean?How does a max funded IUL work?Is a max funded IUL better than a 401(k) or Roth IRA?Can a max funded IUL still lapse?Can you max fund a whole life policy instead? Key takeaways: Max funding is a funding strategy, not a distinct product. There's no "max funded IUL" you buy off the shelf. A zero-crediting year isn't a flat year: fees still come out, and growth compounds off a permanently lower base. The insurer can change your cap, participation rate, and spread once a year, without asking first. Max funding defers lapse risk. It doesn't eliminate it. Apply the same instinct to whole life, and you get the guarantees an IUL was never built to offer. What Is a Max Funded IUL? A max funded IUL, sometimes called a maximum funded indexed universal life policy, is an indexed universal life policy funded at or near the highest premium level the IRS permits before crossing into modified endowment contract status. There's no separate product line behind the term, just this definition. A few people write it as "max funded indexed universal life" or shorthand it to "max fund IUL"; all of it points to the same funding decision. Every universal life policy quotes two premium figures: a minimum, the least you could pay and still have a shot at sustaining the death benefit if the index cooperates, and a maximum, the most the IRS allows before the tax treatment changes. Max funding means paying near the top of that range. More dollars in means more dollars exposed to crediting: 10% on $100,000 of premium is $10,000; the same 10% on $10,000 is $1,000. One term worth pinning down: a modified endowment contract, or MEC. The IRS caps how much premium can go into a permanent policy while preserving tax-free access. Cross that limit and the policy still grows tax-deferred, but access gets taxed, including policy loans, tax-free in every other context. (Consult a licensed tax professional on how §7702 and §7702A apply to your contract.) The distinction everything else here rests on: this isn't a different kind of policy, just a decision about how much premium goes into an IUL. You'll sometimes see it called an overfunded IUL, which is just another name for the same funding choice, not a separate product to shop for. And it's worth flagging now: you can max fund a whole life policy the same way. For a full breakdown of how an indexed universal life policy works, see what an indexed universal life policy is. Why Max Funded IULs Are Marketed So Aggressively Before picking apart max funding, it's worth saying plainly: the appeal is real. A max funded IUL has genuine features that draw in smart, financially literate people, and pretending otherwise would make the rest of this article dishonest. It offers tax-deferred growth with tax-free access through policy loans, no annual contribution ceiling like a 401(k) or Roth IRA imposes since capacity is governed by the death benefit purchased, a 0% floor marketed as downside protection, an included death benefit, and in strong index years, the possibility of double-digit credited growth. The most effective version shows up as a retirement play: a tax-free income vehicle for people phased out of Roth eligibility or maxed on contribution room elsewhere. We won't unpack that comparison; we cover IUL-for-retirement here. Bruce and I both make this concession without hesitation: the instinct behind max funding is correct. It flips the usual "buy the most death benefit for the least premium" logic on its head and treats a permanent policy as a place to store and access capital instead. The open question isn't whether to max fund, but which product deserves it. The IUL Fees the Illustration Doesn't Show You IUL fees are disclosed, sitting in the contract right now, but rarely walked through in the illustration or the sales conversation, so buyers routinely agree to a fee structure they've never once seen quantified. Give the product its due: disclosure is a genuine point in its favor. Whole life keeps most costs internal, priced against guarantees, so an actuary can tell you exactly what those costs do to cash value over time. An IUL has no such floor, so the same load fee taken from a smaller balance next year does more damage, and the shortfall compounds forward. One misconception worth correcting: indexed crediting doesn't mean your premium is invested in the index. The insurer manages the underlying assets and hedges its own exposure as it sees fit. Surrender charges also tend to run larger on an IUL than on whole life, relevant only if you actually surrender; whole life's rough equivalent is simply lower cash value in the early years. This is where max funding earns its name: it exists to outrun these fees through sheer volume, which means the strategy's own proponents are conceding the drag is real. The illustration never asks what happens if the funding doesn't outrun it. For the full risk picture beyond fees, see dangerous truths about IUL risks. Why Your Credited Return Is Not the Index's Return The 0% floor isn't free. It's purchased with three mechanisms the insurer can adjust annually: a cap ceilings the credited rate, a participation rate credits only a percentage of the gain, and a spread is a hurdle the index must clear before anything credits. The worked numbers are below. One "uncapped" strategy runs a three-year point-to-point at 60% participation: the index gains 30% over three years, but the policyholder is credited 18%, roughly 6% annualized. "Unlimited" is doing marketing work the mechanics don't back up. MechanismWhat it doesWorked exampleCapCeilings the credited rate15% cap, index gains 25%, credited 15%Participation rateCredits a percentage of the gain80% of a 15% cap, credited 12%SpreadDeducts a hurdle before crediting3% spread, index gains 8%, credited 5%0% floorPrevents index-driven loss, fees still deductedIndex falls 15%, credited 0%, fees still come out The insurer can change the cap, participation rate, and spread once a year, without your consent. It's disclosed, not misconduct, just a term rarely explained. With fifteen indexes and multiple crediting strategies on offer, a policyholder can face well over a hundred permutations, which reads as control and functions as confusion. Now the zero-year mechanics, the single most important thing to understand here. A zero-crediting year is not a flat year: fees still come out, pulled from a smaller cash value, and the next year's crediting compounds off that lower base. A zero in year eight of a $3-million, thirty-year projection doesn't just mean missing that year's interest , it resets the compounding base permanently, and when the index drops, the insurer's hedging costs rise too, so you lose nothing to the index and still lose money. Agents say zero is your hero, then illustrate 30 years at a flat assumed rate, often 6.45% or 6.85%, sometimes a more conservative 5.25% column, without a single zero year anywhere in the projection. Both claims can't be true at once. Average isn't actual either: $100,000 down 20% is $80,000, and up 20% from there is $96,000, not $100,000. For an independent take on these mechanics, see Todd Langford's analysis of indexed universal life. The Rising Cost of Insurance Inside an IUL IUL insurance charges are priced as annually renewable term. The cost re-prices every year based on age, and it climbs. Max funding puts more premium in to help absorb it, but doesn't change the fact it keeps rising. The climb accelerates: something like $10 more from age 55 to 56, then $14, then $22, then $35. Whole life prices base-policy mortality cost across the entire life of the contract with a defined endowment point built in, so early years cost more relative to a small cash value and later years cost less relative to one grown large enough to absorb them. Bruce has personally seen carrier illustrations where mortality cost inside an IUL becomes severe around age 77, with the in-force death benefit graph turning sharply downward within a couple of years, even under continued maximum contributions. That's his observation from specific illustrations, not a universal threshold. That leaves the policyholder in a rough spot decades in: pay materially more than illustrated, or give up a policy funded faithfully for thirty years. This is the cost max funding is supposed to outrun, and the one cost that climbs on a schedule funding can't influence. Can a Max Funded IUL Still Lapse? Max funding reduces lapse risk. It does not remove it,...

How can clinicians use real-world patient data to personalize metabolic health care? In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Dr. Jeff Pua, an internal medicine and obesity medicine physician, about obesity medicine, metabolic syndrome, nutritional ketosis, and what clinicians can learn from patient outcomes in everyday practice.Dr. Pua shares how his approach has evolved from relying only on broad research categories to also paying close attention to individual patient experiments, blood tests, and lived experience. In his practice, he sees patients improve not only in weight and metabolic markers, but also in mood, mindset, mental sharpness, and confidence as they begin to see measurable changes in their own health.They cover:How obesity medicine is evolving beyond the number on the scaleWhy metabolic syndrome is a major focus in Dr. Pua's practiceHow N-of-1 patient data can help clinicians personalize careWhat blood tests can reveal about real-world metabolic improvementWhy nutritional ketosis can be a helpful benchmark for some patientsHow nutrition, physical activity, and behavior change work togetherWhy exercise may become more accessible once metabolic health improvesThis conversation offers a clinician's view of how metabolic health care can become more personalized, measurable, and empowering for patients.

Reassurance seeking is one of the most common anxiety behaviors between children and parents (and children and teachers…and between adults, too!) Offering reassurance is a short term fix but sustains the anxiety loop. This episode's question comes from a mom who knows this well, and who was actually on an In Session episode a few years ago. Her daughter has made huge strides since then. Mom is saying the right things and staying out of the content of the worry, but both mom and daughter are still being bossed around by the Worry's daily questioning. What's the next step? WE'VE MADE PLAYLISTS OF OUR EPISODES TO HELP YOU FIND RESOURCES ON SPECIFIC TOPICS. Here is our first: For those brand new to the podcast, we suggest starting with this playlist featuring Lynn Lyons and the 7-part anxiety disruptor series as well as a 3-part series on the skills most helpful in managing anxious kids: flexibility, problem solving, and autonomy.

Carnivore was the eye-opener that showed me how to eliminate anything that could be bothering me, but five years later, animal-based is the framework that actually stuck. I've gone through paleo, keto, and carnivore, and none of them were failed attempts; each one raised the baseline and taught me something I still use today. In this episode, I break down the three things that actually changed (not my weight, not a number on a chart), why animal-based has outlasted every stricter diet I've tried, who should still go stricter first, and how raising our own food on the homestead reshaped the whole picture.

Can chronic stress undermine metabolic health, even when nutrition, sleep, and exercise are in place?In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher explains why stress recovery is an important part of metabolic health and how chronic cortisol and adrenaline activation may affect insulin resistance, blood pressure, inflammation, sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health.Dr. Scher breaks down the difference between short-term stress that helps us respond to challenges and chronic stress that keeps the body's alarm system switched on. He also shares why stress recovery doesn't have to mean an hour of meditation or a weekend nature retreat. Even brief, consistent practices like 10 minutes outside, a short walk, sunlight exposure, calming music, or nature sounds may help the nervous system reset.In the episode, Dr. Scher covers:How chronic stress can affect blood sugar, insulin resistance, and blood pressureWhy cortisol and adrenaline are helpful short term but harmful when constantly elevatedHow stress can disrupt sleep, cognition, inflammation, and metabolic healthWhy meditation works for some people, and why consistency matters more than durationHow nature exposure, sunlight, and natural sounds may support stress recoveryWhy recognizing early stress signals can help prevent bigger health consequencesHow small daily recovery practices can support cardiovascular, metabolic, and brain healthRegular recovery practices give your stress response somewhere to land. A few minutes of meditation, a walk outside, sunlight, music, or even nature sounds can help support steadier blood sugar, better sleep, and a brain and body that aren't constantly running on high alert.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear the rain on the window. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor.

Is your body staging a quiet retirement without your permission? In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher discuss why the decade of your 40s represents a critical physical turning point. They break down the science of age-related muscle loss, explore why baseline cardiorespiratory activities like cycling or walking aren't enough to protect your skeletal system, and explain how to view strength training as a essential proactive investment in your future physical independence. Tune in to find out how you can counteract the catabolic phase of aging and build your body's "physical 401(k)."Amy introduces the hidden stressors of the 40s decade. She highlights a reality television experiment ("100 Humans") which suggested that the 40s can often be a low point for human stress, driven by the "sandwich generation" pressures of caring for both older parents and younger children simultaneously.Dr. Fisher shares his personal perspective on 40s responsibility. He notes how the psychological stress of late 40s life—including mortgages, professional duties, and familial care—frequently aligns with initial, noticeable declines in physical function.The physical shift from anabolic to catabolic living. Dr. Fisher details how our bodies transition past peak hormonal states in our fourth decade, causing a notable baseline decline in power, muscle mass, connective tissue resilience, and bone mineral density.The cortisol impact on women's health. Amy points out that heightened sensitivity to cortisol as women approach menopause can turn former stress-relievers (like prolonged 30-minute runs) into triggers for unintended fat storage and muscle degradation.Is muscle loss inevitable? Dr. Fisher challenges the idea that aging bodies must simply break down. He reframes the problem not as an inevitable age issue, but as an "underloading problem."The limitation of cycling and walking. While beneficial for the cardiovascular system, Dr. Fisher explains that casual cycling or walking fails to recruit Type 2 muscle fibers or load the skeletal system sufficiently to trigger bone density growth.Building a physical 401(k). Reframing your gym time as an investment rather than an indulgence. The team discusses how targeted resistance training buys back real-world capabilities: climbing stairs, lifting grandchildren, recovering from injury, and preserving the basic ability to get up off the floor easily.The immediate versus chronic payoff. Amy and Dr. Fisher celebrate both ends of the resistance training spectrum—from the acute mental health benefits and immediate stress management to the long-term protection against systemic metabolic decline.Exercisecoach.com: http://www.exercisecoach.comSubmit your questions here: http://www.strengthchangeseverything.comStrength Changes Everything on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strength-changes-everything/id1536169608Strength Changes Everything YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJn2uiUCAumWilp3k_eTk2QThis podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

12 years in prison — and it was there Hannah Muse learned to heal self-abandonment and rebuild self-trust from rock bottom.Most of us will never see the inside of a cell, yet we know this prison intimately — the one without walls. It's the voice whispering that your worth is measured by how much you do for everyone else. It's the self-abandonment that keeps you small and smiling while something inside you quietly disappears.   Hannah's story is less about the twelve years she served and more about the moment the bars fell away — the day she stopped being her own jailer and chose to become her own healer. What she found in the stillness wasn't an escape. It was the way home.If you've spent a lifetime being the strong one everyone leans on while no one holds you... this conversation is a mirror. And the woman looking back at you is ready to come home.   Watch the full episode on Youtube.   https://youtu.be/q6K0Eh95pjk?si=mzOuRY6Hna6VKsan   That's the journey I walk women through in 30 Days to a Badass You — one gentle week at a time: Remember, Release, Rewire, Re-emerge. We don't fix you.

In this episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, I sat down with my friend and colleague Megan Peasely of Illuminated Birth & Co. As doulas and childbirth educators, we talk about something we both feel deeply passionate about: the importance of finding your village.We explore why local support matters, how your provider and birth setting can shape your experience, and why having people in your corner who understand the landscape of care in your area can make such a meaningful difference. We also discuss how childbirth educators, doulas, and community spaces can help bridge the gap between information and true support.At its heart, this conversation is a reminder that birth was never meant to be navigated alone.In this episode we cover:Why provider fit matters more than many people realizeQuestions to ask when choosing a hospital or birth settingThe difference between generic birth education and local birth knowledgeHow teaching hospitals and community hospitals can create different experiencesWhy advocacy starts long before labor beginsHow doulas and childbirth educators help families navigate the maternity care systemThe importance of building your support system before your baby arrivesPractical ways to find your village in your local communityIf this episode leaves you realizing that birth advocacy starts long before labor, you might also enjoy my Birth Advocacy Toolkit, which can help you feel more confident navigating conversations with your care team and making informed decisions throughout pregnancy.Resources MentionedIlluminated Birth & Co.DoulaMatch.netFREE Massachusetts Pregnancy GuideNo matter where you are in your pregnancy journey, I hope this conversation reminds you that you do not have to figure this all out alone. Support matters. Your questions matter. Your voice matters. And finding the right people to walk alongside you can make all the difference.
