Navigating the complex world of agricultural programs can be overwhelming, especially for those just starting their farming journey. In this enlightening conversation with James Cruz, County Executive Director for Clay County FSA with over 31 years of experience, we unpack the valuable resources available through the Farm Service Agency that many producers overlook.The Farm Service Agency operates in nearly every county nationwide, making it uniquely positioned to deliver critical support programs directly to agricultural producers. For beginning farmers, FSA offers specialized financing that dramatically reduces barriers to entry. Through the Beginning Farmer Down Payment Program, newcomers can purchase farmland with just 5% down, while FSA contributes 45% and a commercial lender covers the remaining 50% – all at interest rates significantly below market. This program is available to those who have farmed less than 10 years and don't own more than 30% of the average county farm size.Perhaps most surprising is the innovative Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Transition Incentives initiative. When landowners with expiring CRP contracts lease their land to beginning farmers for five years, they receive two additional years of CRP payments – creating a powerful financial incentive to support the next generation of producers while easing the transition of conservation land back into production.The conversation also explores disaster assistance programs that provide essential safety nets. From the Administrator's Physical Loss Declaration that offers low-interest emergency loans for storm-damaged facilities to the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program compensating for weather-related crop losses, FSA stands ready to help producers recover from setbacks. Additional financial tools like the Marketing Assistance Loan program (providing $3.87/bushel for wheat at 5% interest) and the Farm Storage Facility Loan program (financing bins, dryers, and handling equipment at rates as low as 3.75%) round out FSA's comprehensive support system.Ready to leverage these programs for your operation?

2025's ag laws, no spin. American Farm Burueau Federation Economist, Daniel Munch, breaks down what the American Relief Act and HR1 (“One Big Beautiful Bill”) actually changed for farmers, ranchers, and timberland owners: disaster aid, tax relief, ARC/PLC extensions, conservation through 2031, disease‑readiness funding—and what Washington still hasn't fixed. Why these passed: must‑pass funding + reconciliation math, not kumbaya. Core programs extended to 2031: ARC/PLC, Dairy Margin Coverage; EQIP/CSP/ACEP funded forward. CRP: not extended in HR1; needs separate action (a “skinny” farm bill or stand‑alone). Disaster money: ~$30B total in the Relief Act (≈$10B economic aid to row‑crops; ≈$20B disasters). Helpful, not enough to backfill multi‑year crop, livestock, timber, and infrastructure losses. Drought trigger fixed: LFP now four consecutive weeks of qualifying drought (down from eight). Rancher win: LIP now 100% compensation for federally protected predator kills (wolves/grizzlies). State block grants: Flexibility for hard‑hit states (e.g., hurricane zones) that can include timber. Taxes you can actually use: Estate tax exemption permanent at $15M / $30M couple; 199A stays; bonus depreciation back; Section 179 expensing up to $2.5M for equipment and capital improvements (barns, fencing, irrigation). Clean fuel credits (45Z): benefits risk getting stuck at processors unless contracts force value back to growers. Disease readiness: $233M/year mandated for stockpiles, diagnostics, training—real money to keep herds healthy. Market context: Land values up but margins down; these programs support lender confidence but don't erase price pressure. Foreign land ownership: Data/reporting gaps are real; enforcement and look‑through need teeth; private‑property rights vs. national‑security concerns. Why SNAP stays in the farm bill: urban votes keep farm programs alive. No SNAP = no votes = no farm bill.

Why do so many women struggle with stress-related health issues without ever speaking up? In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy continues his series on self-silencing in women—a powerful yet often overlooked cultural and psychological pattern. Dr. McCarthy breaks down: What “self-silencing” really means and how it shows up in everyday life The four categories of self-silencing How chronic stress and emotional suppression affect hormones, fertility, and cardiovascular health Why women face higher risks of heart disease when these patterns go unaddressed What men can do to better support their partners during PMS, perimenopause, and menopause   This conversation is about more than symptoms—it's about validation, advocacy, and the urgent need to recognize how cultural conditioning impacts women's health.   Citations: Jack, D.

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by PF & QF's Vice President of Government Affairs Ariel Wiegard and Director of Government Affairs Andrew Schmidt to attempt answering the difficult question, “Will there be a new Farm Bill in 2025?” The trio also discuss the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and what the absence of a new Farm Bill means for the crown jewel of voluntary conservation programs. Episode Highlights: • Wiegard provides a recap of recent efforts in Congress to sell public land as part of the budget reconciliation process, and how PF & QF supporters and the broad outdoors community successfully helped push back on that effort earlier this summer. • Schmidt provides an overview of the conservation victories within the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” including an increase of funding for Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP), as well as the integration of remaining IRA funding into the Farm Bill conservation baseline. • Schmidt also details the new “CRP Improvement and Flexibility Act” introduced by U.S. Senators John Thune (R-SD), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Tina Smith (D-MN). This proposed legislation includes many of PF & QF priorities for improving CRP, making the program more attractive to landowners and beneficial for wildlife.

The Shelton homestead lies in Clyde Wisconsin that was started by Pat's Great, Great, Great grandfather in about 1856. Pat currently tends to 250 acres of property and his mother was the one who got their 100 year anniversary of the farm. Currently the farm has 30-40 acres that in enrolled in the CRP program. While another 30 acres is being farmed by and organic farmer in Clyde. The rest is rented out. The family stopped actively farming it in the late 50s and moved off the farm. Today Pat manages the CRP land and upkeep of the property and refurbishing of the original barn that's still. He hopes that one of his three kids continues the work. His youngest son has been showing some interest in partaking in the work. Back in the 40's their family actually harvested Hemp and creeps up once in a while.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  Today we're switching gears a bit to talk about a medication rather than a peptide — metformin. If you're someone who's interested in peptides for metabolic health or inflammation, you've probably heard metformin mentioned alongside them. It's been around for decades as a diabetes medication, but recently it's gaining attention for its potential benefits beyond blood sugar, including longevity, inflammation, and neuroprotection — even in people who don't have diabetes. Let's get into it. Metformin and Longevity Can metformin really help us live longer? One of the biggest sparks came from a 2014 study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, where researchers found that diabetics on metformin actually lived longer than non-diabetics not taking the medication.  The authors suggested that metformin may offer protective benefits beyond glucose control, possibly by reducing oxidative stress and slowing cellular aging. This inspired the launch of the TAME trial—short for Targeting Aging with Metformin—which is designed to test whether metformin can delay the onset of age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. While results are still pending, it's the first large-scale effort to study aging as a treatable condition, not just a process. Inflammation and Immunometabolism Next up: inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation is at the root of so many health issues—heart disease, dementia, even depression. Metformin appears to blunt systemic inflammation by activating AMPK. Think of AMPK as a metabolic master switch that lowers inflammatory signaling. A 2021 review published in Pharmacological Research found that metformin can inhibit NF-κB, a major pathway that drives inflammation. It also helped lower levels of CRP—a protein made by the liver that rises when there's inflammation from things like infection, injury, or chronic disease—and IL-6, another immune system protein commonly elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions. Because of these anti-inflammatory effects, researchers have been exploring metformin's potential in conditions beyond diabetes, including autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS), PCOS, and even COVID—where it's been linked to lower mortality in patients with diabetes. Brain Health and Neuroprotection What about the brain? Can metformin help protect against cognitive decline? There's some promising data here too. A 2017 study in Aging Cell found that metformin improved neurogenesis in the hippocampus of aged mice—basically, helping old brains grow new neurons. In 2019 a cohort study in JAMA Network reported that people with type 2 diabetes taking metformin had a lower risk of developing dementia compared to those not taking it. Mechanisms may include reduced insulin resistance in the brain, less oxidative stress, and—again—AMPK activation, which promotes mitochondrial health and energy production. Still, human trials are mixed, and more controlled research is needed before we can call it a “smart drug.” Lower Cancer Risk So, here's an interesting one—can metformin actually lower the risk of cancer? Well, the short answer is: maybe. People with diabetes tend to have a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer, so part of metformin's benefit could just come from better managing blood sugar and insulin levels. But what's really exciting is that researchers think metformin might do even more than that. There's evidence suggesting it could have direct effects on cancer cells—like slowing down their growth or making the environment less friendly for tumors. Some studies have found lower rates of cancers like breast, colon, and prostate in people taking metformin. Now, this isn't a magic bullet or anything, but it's a promising area of research that's getting a lot of attention. So metformin might be pulling double duty: managing diabetes and potentially helping reduce cancer risk through other mechanisms we're still learning about. Metabolic Health for Non-Diabetics Now here's where it gets controversial—should healthy people without diabetes be taking metformin? Some researchers argue yes, especially for people with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or high inflammation. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity, reduces liver glucose production, and may even support modest weight loss. That said, there are tradeoffs. Metformin can cause stomach-related side effects (e.g., nausea, gas, heartburn, and diarrhea) and vitamin B12 deficiency (which may lead to nerve damage). It can also cause extreme fatigue.  Metformin may sometimes cause sexual side effects, like erectile dysfunction in men. Some studies suggest it might lower testosterone, which we know is important for male sexual health. But interestingly, other research points to metformin actually improving blood flow to the penis, which could help with erectile issues. So, it's a bit of a mixed picture—and it really depends on the individual. And although rare, it can cause lactic acidosis (a life threatening condition where lactic acid builds up in the blood) in older adults, people with advanced kidney disease, or those who drink excessive amounts of alcohol. So it's not a free pass.  So what are my final thoughts and who should you take metformin for longevity? Metformin isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's definitely not something to start just because you heard about it on a podcast. We still need more research—especially in people without diabetes—to really understand who benefits most. But it might make sense for some people, like those with prediabetes, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or even older adults looking to support healthy aging.  As always, it's something to talk through with your healthcare provider.  The science is exciting, but it's all about finding what makes sense for you.

Ceramide Risk Score: How to Incorporate it Into Your CV Prevention Practice   Guest: Vlad Vasile, M.D., Ph.D. Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D.   Ceramides score is a blood test used to assess the risk of heart attacks and stroke. Most patients evaluated for cardiovascular risk benefit from this test, particularly patients deemed at intermediate risk by other assessments. Score is reported as numbers: the higher the score, the higher the risk. Ceramides score is reproducible and modifiable with lifestyle interventions and medications that lower cholesterol; it also helps with tracking patient progress and motivation.   Topics Discussed: What is the ceramides score? How is ceramides score different than hs CRP? Who benefits from ceramides testing?    Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Trish: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm a 55-year-old female working on lowering overall inflammation in my body. My CRP levels are (4.1), ApoB (118 nmol/L and Lipoprotein (A) (281 nmol/L) as you can see are high. Total Cholesterol 221 and Triglycerides are 70. I have a lot of stiffness with joint discomfort. I started taking 2 Proteolytic Enzymes upon waking. Then your DNS, D3/k2, Cell Boost, Inflamma Soothe, Collagen with GLP Tone System and some of your other products (eye and hair). I follow your Med diet. My pain and stiffness have improved ALOT in a matter of days. I'm going to retest my CRP and chol levels in 4 months. My question is how long can I take Proteolytic Enzymes and in your opinion am I taking the proper protocol for these issues? I'm retesting in 4 mos. Thank you in advance          Sheena: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you and all of your health family are well. I'm a surgical Processor and on my feet all day. I've tried all kinds of compression socks but by the end of the day, after taking it off, my leg are soo itchy! I scratch it sometimes so bad it starts to bleed. I'm only wearing the average 15-20 mmHG so its not too tight. I'm curious if you have a recommendation for compression socks that wont causes itching but is effective? Thanks in advance for answering!      Christina: Stephen, I have listened on one of your podcasts about Rheumatoid Arthritis and detoxing. My mother is in her early 70s and her fingers are twisting. I am 48 and recently the base of my thumbs have started bothering me. My question is, what detox protocol should my mother start with to prevent further twisting of her fingers and what detox protocol should I do to prevent this from happening to me? I would love to do the heavy metals and organic acid tests, but unfortunately I live in NY. Would my functional medicine doctor be able to order them for me? I have had HELLP, HUS, DIC, Guillian Barre, and Pulminary Edema in my pregnancy at 21. My son was delivered with no issues! At this time, we learned that I have ITTP. I have had IBS issues. Thank you, Christina                      Ryan: Hi dr cabral, Im a 29 year old male who has addisons disease, chronic post nasal drip, food intolerance's and teeth grinding a stool test confirmed klebsiella pneumonie overgrowth and blastocystis hominis as well as some yeast and fungus with no Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus detected, I recently started the cbo protocol with citricidal drops im 7 days in untill i came across one of your videos where you mentioned you should go for the parasite first should i stop the cbo protocol and start the para support protocol and then continue the cbo after or just continue the cbo protocol Thank you for your time wishing you all the best ryan.                                                                                                                                     Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I I love your podcasts and look forward to them every week. Anyway, I was wondering if you could please explain how a traumatic event could spur the onset of a "dis-ease" such as asthma. My daughter's asthma began shortly after her father and I were separated and he moved out of state. According to her pediatrician at the time, she was "more prone to having asthma because she also had eczema." This was 2 decades ago, and now she's 31 and we know more about autoimmune issues. Although she continues to carry an inhaler with her, she hardly needs to use it anymore. What would you recommend for a more root cause approach to someone with her condition? Thank you.                                  Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3466 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

What if everything you've been told about healthcare is backward? Dr. Leland Stillman joins Scott Ford to reveal how modern medicine has become an ascension marketing model – starting with inexpensive prescriptions before gradually escalating to costly procedures, all while failing to address the foundations of true health.For busy professionals and entrepreneurs, this broken system presents unique challenges. When you're juggling responsibilities and operating on tight schedules, you need healthcare that respects your time while addressing root causes, not just symptoms. Dr. Stillman shares his revolutionary approach to simplifying complex health information while maintaining a comprehensive perspective – what he calls focusing on the "low-hanging fruit" before pursuing specialized interventions.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when exploring the critical importance of light exposure. As humans evolved under natural sunlight, our bodies depend on specific light frequencies found in sunshine. Modern artificial lighting lacks the beneficial infrared spectrum present in natural light, correlating with increasing rates of chronic diseases. Contrary to popular belief, appropriate sun exposure actually associates with lower mortality rates across numerous studies.For those seeking optimal health, Dr. Stillman recommends three fundamental areas: working with a qualified provider who monitors key biomarkers (including hemoglobin A1C, ferritin, DHEA, CRP, vitamin D, and omega-3 levels), getting adequate natural light exposure, and ensuring proper darkness during sleep hours. These simple yet powerful approaches align with our biological rhythms and support cellular energy production, hormone regulation, and metabolic health.As Dr. Stillman powerfully states, "If you do not consciously make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness."

We're diving into the top functional and conventional tests to consider after the second trimester or late pregnancy loss, especially if you've been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). If you've had a second trimester loss or late pregnancy loss after 20 weeks and been told “everything looks normal,”this episode is for you. We dive into what's often overlooked in conventional care and how a functional fertility approach can help uncover underlying imbalances that impact conception, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes. In this episode we cover 7 categories of testing to consider after late loss especially if you have low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, autoimmune issues, recurrent miscarriage, or unexplained infertility. You'll learn: The top clotting and thrombophilia markers to test (including Factor V Leiden and antiphospholipid antibodies) Which inflammatory and immune markers (hs-CRP, ANA, cytokines, NK cells) are often missed and why they matter How the vaginal microbiome and hidden infections like ureaplasma can cause second-trimester loss The role of chronic stress, adrenal hormones and the HPA axis in pregnancy outcomes Why a comprehensive blood chemistry panel can reveal nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances that are missed by conventional labs Key methylation and genetic SNPs (like MTHFR) that impact detoxification, clotting and hormone metabolism The impact of gut health and stool testing on immune tolerance, estrogen balance and inflammation We'll also explain how this whole body functional lens can guide your next steps in preconception planning, whether you're trying again naturally or preparing for IVF. This episode is for you if: You've experienced a loss after 14 weeks of pregnancy and are seeking deeper understanding and support. You want to explore both conventional and functional medicine approaches to uncover underlying causes. You're looking for practical lifestyle, testing, and healing strategies to improve future pregnancy outcomes. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Introduction: Late term pregnancy loss overview, compassion, and what to expect in this episode [00:02:30] Functional fertility testing for late term loss thrombophilia panel, immune markers, inflammation, and infections [00:06:00] Stress hormones, nervous system support, and comprehensive blood chemistry for improving pregnancy outcomes [00:09:00] Blood sugar, insulin, and comprehensive thyroid testing in pregnancy loss [00:12:00] Genetic testing, including MTHFR mutations and the importance of body healing before conception [00:14:30] Role of gut health, infections, and estrogen metabolism in pregnancy loss --- RESOURCES

Habitat Podcast #341 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Co-Host Andy Hutchens talking to Angelo Giannoni. We discuss: Angelo grew up in Chicago, surrounded by a hunting family with a rich outdoor tradition. He owns 45 acres in Northwest Illinois, focusing on habitat improvement for wildlife. Angelo enrolled his property in CRP and forestry programs for income and habitat enhancement. He actively removes invasive species like honeysuckle to improve the understory of his woods. Angelo has planted 6,000 saplings, creating edge and cover for deer movement on his property. He emphasizes the importance of creating diverse habitats for wildlife, not just pristine landscapes. Angelo enjoys sharing his land management experiences and learning from others in the community. He harvested a kudu and other animals on his honeymoon in South Africa, creating lasting memories. Angelo prioritizes camaraderie and conservation in his hunting pursuits, valuing experiences over kills. And So Much More!

In the second episode of a three-part series on the key factors that limit healthspan, Dr. Erin Faules and Dr. Mike Stone explore the role of muscle loss, chronic inflammation, and cancer in accelerating decline—and what you can do about it. Key topics include: How muscle mass and strength relate to longevity Tools for assessing body composition and early signs of sarcopenia Common blockers to building muscle—including underfueling, overtraining, and hormonal factors The role of inflammation in aging, disease risk, and immune dysfunction How to interpret CRP and other lab markers in context A look at new cancer screening technologies (like liquid biopsy and full-body MRI) The importance of individualized, risk-informed decision-making in preventive care

“You can take a human out of being in nature, but you can't take nature out of the human being” This is the statement I pose to Dr Leo right at the beginning of our chat today, and I think it encapsulates the essence of our conversation.Today we're going to discuss the comfort crisis and the importance of ‘ancient stressors' to support modern health.To give some context to this discussion, it seems like we've made life easier than ever. Meals on demand, warmth at the press of a button, and barely a reason to move. But this relentless convenience could be silently eroding our health. In this episode, we ask the provocative question: Has modern comfort become our newest disease? In other words, our biology still expects challenge. When we remove all friction from daily life, we also remove the very triggers that kept us metabolically flexible, mentally sharp, and emotionally resilient.From fasting and thirst to cold plunges and plant toxins, we explore the science of intermittent living, the idea that reintroducing short bursts of ancient stressors might act like a vaccine against the chronic diseases of modern life.We unpack:Why stress isn't always the enemy but a tool, when used wiselyHow ancient triggers like hunger, cold, and heat can reboot resilienceWhat it means to recover well, and how purpose, stillness, and nature complete the cycleWhether biomarkers like CRP or HRV really change with these practicesHow to start your own intermittent living journey safely and simplyDr Leo Pruimboom is a physiologist, medical biochemist, who has dedicated hislife to the development of PNI as a clinical science converting a translationalmedical science into a solution focused discipline in which the body is considereda complete interconnected soma in which everything is everywhere at the sametime.

We're diving deep into thrombophilia panel and why this matters for miscarriage or implantation failure You've been told it's “just bad luck” after another miscarriage or another IVF round with perfect embryos that didn't implant. But what if your body is trying to tell you something deeper? In this episode, we uncover the critical role of thrombophilia an often-overlooked clotting issue in recurrent pregnancy loss and failed implantation. We'll walk through what should be included in a full thrombophilia panel, what research reveals about its connection to miscarriage, and how a functional approach digs deeper into inflammation, methylation, estrogen balance, and more. This episode is for you if: You've experienced miscarriage or implantation failure and wonder if a clotting issue like thrombophilia could be the missing link. Your bloodwork is “normal,” but you suspect inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or hormone imbalances are being overlooked. You're preparing for IVF or trying to conceive naturally and want a proactive, functional approach to reduce clotting risk and support implantation. In this episode you'll learn: The link between thrombophilia and recurrent miscarriage, implantation failure, and pregnancy complications like preeclampsia What's included in a complete thrombophilia panel and which tests are often overlooked in conventional fertility care How inflammation markers like hs-CRP, homocysteine, and fibrinogen affect fertility and clotting risk The role of MTHFR mutations, poor methylation, and high estrogen in increasing clotting and miscarriage risk How a functional approach addresses clotting risk through gut health, hormone balance, and personalized nutrient support --- RESOURCES

In this eye-opening episode, Ben Azadi dismantles the myth that sugar is the root cause of obesity. Instead, he uncovers the real villain: cell membrane inflammation. You'll learn the top five hidden drivers of inflammation that are blocking fat loss — including seed oils, chronic stress, snacking, poor sleep, and even negative thinking. Ben also shares a powerful (and free) “supplement” to reduce cortisol instantly, plus a 50x more accurate test you can take at home to detect metabolic damage. If you're doing all the “right things” but still struggling, this episode will shift everything.

Sit to Stand Test & Surgical Vitality PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of this week's PODCAST* Tame the “Brain-on-Fire” ProblemRunaway neuro-inflammation accelerates multiple sclerosis, stroke, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Prioritize lifestyle tactics that cross the blood–brain barrier—sleep, anti-inflammatory diet, and stress control—while watching developments in next-gen brain-penetrant drugs.* Ice Is Medicine: Use Cold Exposure to Re-Route Energy Away from InflammationBrief, controlled cold stress (a 90-second cold shower in the morning, progressing to 3–5 min ice baths or cold plunges 2–3×/week) forces the body to burn calories for heat, starving inflammatory pathways and even improving auto-immune outcomes in animal models. Always clear major cold work with your physician first.* Move Before You Medicate for Depression & AnxietyA meta-analysis of 26 RCTs (>2,500 participants) shows exercise rivals—or beats—pharmacotherapy for mood disorders. Aim for a baseline of 30 min brisk walking or resistance work most days; any movement is better than none, and mixed aerobic + strength routines offer the strongest mental-health bump.* Inflammation in Your 20s Predicts Brainpower in Your 40sAn 18-year cohort study linked consistently high—or even slowly rising—CRP levels with poorer mid-life cognition. Action: get a baseline CRP, track it yearly, and deploy weight control, resistance training, and nutrient-dense, time-restricted eating (“eat less, eat less often”) to keep levels low.* Double-Down on Purpose & Gratitude—They're Biological Anti-InflammatoriesA strong life purpose lowers IL-6 and CRP, while daily gratitude practice calms the amygdala and drops TNF-α. Practical micro-habit: each week thank five people (voice or face-to-face), and block 15 minutes on Sunday to revisit your “why.” Pair with twice-weekly strength training to release anti-inflammatory myokines and boost BDNF for memory.Listen to the full podcast to learn more and please leave your comments below.

Au milieu des montagnes du territoire de Mahagi, sur les rives du lac Albert, coule la rivière Kakoye. Ce cours d'eau sépare la chefferie de Mokombo en deux : la rive ouest, perturbée par la présence de groupes armés, et la paisible rive est, n'ayant jamais connu d'attaque de groupe armé. Aucun milicien n'ose traverser la rivière que les habitants disent magique. Conséquence : cette zone sécurisée accueille des dizaines de milliers de déplacés qui continuent d'arriver en provenance des rives du Lac Albert. De notre envoyée spéciale, En ce milieu d'après-midi, Martine revient du champ le dos courbé. Son grand âge lui a fait oublier sa date d'arrivée dans le camp de déplacé de Guenguere 3, elle qui a toujours vécu sur les rives ouest de la rivière Kakoye. « Je me suis déplacée jusqu'ici parce que mon village a été attaqué. Mon beau-frère a été tué à la machette, certains enfants de la famille aussi. Nos maisons ont été incendiées et nos biens ont été volés. Alors, je suis venue ici », se souvient-elle. Martine accuse la Codeco, une milice qui dit défendre la communauté Lendu. « Je n'avais connu un tel conflit avant. Même quand j'étais petite. Depuis, c'est très difficile. On n'a rien à manger. Si je ne travaille pas comme journalière dans le champ qui appartiennent à d'autres, comment je vais manger ? Et comment nourrir mes enfants ? », s'interroge-t-elle, désespérée.  Malgré cette extrême précarité, les huttes continuent de se construire. Les déplacés sont attirés par la sécurité qui règne dans la zone, en majorité habitée par les Alur. Cette communauté n'a formé aucun groupe armé d'autodéfense et n'est engagée ni dans le conflit communautaire qui oppose les Lendu et les Hema, ni dans les récents affrontements dans la zone littorale à proximité du lac Albert qui opposent les militaires congolais et un nouveau groupe politico-militaire, la CRP. Des affrontements que Silver a fuis il y a trois mois. « Il y a eu un combat acharné. C'était vers une heure du matin, se souvient-il. On a d'abord entendu des coups de feu. On a entendu des bombes. Nous avons pris la fuite d'abord une première fois en septembre dernier. En février, il y a eu de nouveaux affrontements entre les militaires congolais et la CRP. » Ces nouvelles arrivées entraînent des difficultés supplémentaires, déplore Justin Twambe Urumgwa le président du site de Guenguere 3. « Nous manquons de latrines, nous n'avons pas de douches et pourtant, il y a de nouvelles personnes qui arrivent et qui augmentent encore le problème. Pire encore, il n'y a pas de l'eau potable ici. Parfois, les gens se bagarrent à cause des quantités insuffisantes d'eau potable », déplore-t-il. Ces trois derniers mois, 1 880 personnes se sont ajoutées aux 8 000 déjà installées. À lire aussiManenji Mangundu, directeur d'OXFAM en RDC: «La situation humanitaire est très précaire à Goma»

Episode 194: Acute low back pain.  Future Dr. Ibrahim presents a clinical case to explain the essential points in the evaluation of back pain.  Future Dr. Redden adds information about differentiating between a back strain and more serious diseases such as cancer, and Dr. Arreaza shares information about returning to work after back strain.Written by Michael Ibrahim, MSIV. Editing and comments by Jordan Redden, MSIV, and Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Arreaza:Welcome back, everyone. Today's topic is one that every primary care provider, emergency doctor, and even specialist sees routinely: low back pain. It's so common that studies estimate up to 80% of adults will experience it at some point in their lives. But despite how frequent it is, the challenge is to identify which cases are benign and which demand urgent attention.Jordan:Exactly. Low back pain is usually self-limiting and mechanical in nature, but we always need to keep an eye out for the rare but serious causes: things like infection, malignancy, or neurological compromise. That's why a good history and physical exam are our best tools right out of the gate.Michael:And to ground this in a real example, let me introduce a patient we saw recently. John is a 45-year-old warehouse worker who came in with two weeks of lower back pain that started after lifting a 50-lb box. He describes it as a dull, aching pain that radiates from his lower back down the posterior left thigh into the calf. He says it gets worse with bending or coughing, but he feels better when lying flat. He also mentioned some numbness in his left foot, but he denies any bowel or bladder issues. His vitals are completely normal. On exam, he had lumbar paraspinal tenderness, a positive straight leg-raise at 40 degrees on the left and decreased sensation in the L5 dermatome, though reflexes were still intact.Dr. Arreaza:That's a great case. Let's take a minute and talk about the straight leg raise test. This is a bedside tool we use to assess for lumbar nerve root irritation often caused by a herniated disc. ***Here's how it works: the patient lies supine, and you slowly raise their straight leg. If pain radiates below the knee between 30° and 70°, that suggests radiculopathy, especially involving the L5 or S1 nerve roots. Pain at higher angles is more likely due to hamstring tightness or mechanical strain.Michael:Right. So, stepping back: what do we mean by "low back pain"? Broadly, it's any pain localized to the lumbar spine, but it's often classified by type or cause:Mechanical (like muscle strain or degenerative disc disease), Radicular (nerve root involvement), Referred pain (like from pelvic or abdominal organs), Inflammatory (AS), and Systemic or serious causes like infection or malignancy. Jordan:In John's case, we're thinking radicular pain, most likely from a herniated disc compressing the L5 nerve root. That's supported by the dermatomal numbness, the leg pain, and that positive straight leg test.Dr. Arreaza:Good reasoning. Now, anytime we see back pain, our brains should run a checklist for red flags. These help us pick up more serious causes that require urgent attention. Let's run through the red flags.Michael:Sure. For fracture, we think about major trauma or even minor trauma in the elderly, especially those with osteoporosis or on chronic steroids. Also, anyone over 70 years old.Jordan:Then we have infections, which could include things like discitis, vertebral osteomyelitis, or epidural abscess. Red flags include fever, IV drug use, recent surgery, or immunosuppression.Michael:Malignancy is another critical one, especially if there's a history of breast, prostate, lung, kidney, or thyroid cancer. Clues include unexplained weight loss, night pain, or constant pain not relieved by rest.Jordan:And don't forget about inflammatory back pain, like ankylosing spondylitis, which is often seen in younger patients with morning stiffness that lasts more than 30 minutes and improves with activity.Dr. Arreaza:And of course, we always rule out cauda equina syndrome: a surgical emergency. That's urinary retention or incontinence, saddle anesthesia, bilateral leg weakness, or fecal incontinence. Missing this diagnosis can be catastrophic.Michael:Thankfully, in John's case, we don't see any red flags. His presentation is classic for uncomplicated lumbar radiculopathy. But we must stay vigilant, because sometimes patients don't offer up key symptoms unless we ask directly.Jordan:And that's where associated symptoms help guide us. For example:Radicular symptoms like numbness or weakness follow dermatomal patterns. Constitutional symptoms like fever or weight loss raise red flags. Bladder/bowel changes or saddle anesthesia raise alarms for cauda equina. Pain that wakes patients up at night might point to malignancy. Dr. Arreaza:So when do we order labs or imaging?Michael:Not right away. For most patients with acute low back pain, imaging is not needed unless they have red flags. If infection is suspected, we'd get CBC, ESR, and CRP. For cancer, maybe PSA or serum protein electrophoresis. And if inflammatory back disease is suspected, HLA-B27 can be helpful.Jordan:Yes, imaging should be delayed for at least six weeks unless red flags or significant neurologic deficits are present. When we do image, MRI is our go-to especially for suspected radiculopathy or cauda equina. X-rays can help if we're thinking about fractures, but they won't show soft tissue or nerve root issues.Michael:In the example from our case, since the patient doesn't have red flags, we'd go with conservative management: start NSAIDs and recommend activity modification. As this is the acute setting, physical therapy would not be recommended.Jordan:For the acute phase, research shows no serious difference between those with PT and those without in the long term. However, physical therapy is really the cornerstone of management for chronic back pain. It's not just movement: it's education, body mechanics, and teaching patients how to move safely. And PT can actually reduce opioid use, imaging, and injections down the line for patient struggling with long term back pain.Dr. Arreaza:Yes, and PT is not one-size-fits-all. PT might include McKenzie exercises, manual therapy, postural retraining, or even neuromuscular re-education. The goal is always to build core stability, promote healthy movement patterns, and reduce fear of motion.Jordan:Let's take a minute to talk about the McKenzie Method, a physical therapy approach used to treat lumbar disc herniation by identifying a specific movement, (often spinal extension) that reduces or centralizes pain. A common exercise is the prone press-up, (cobra pose for yoga fans) where the patient lies face down and pushes the upper body upward while keeping the hips on the floor to relieve pressure on the disc. These exercises should be done carefully, ideally under professional guidance, and discontinued if symptoms worsen.Michael:For our case patient, our working diagnosis is mechanical low back pain with L5 radiculopathy. No imaging needed now, no red flags. We'll treat conservatively and educate him about proper lifting, staying active, and recovery expectations.Jordan:We also emphasized to him that bed rest isn't helpful. In fact, bed rest can make things worse. Keeping active while avoiding heavy lifting for now is key.Dr. Arreaza:Return-to-work recommendations should be individualized. For example, an office worker, positioning while working, or work hours may be able to return to work promptly. However, those with physically demanding jobs may need light duty or be off work.Ice: no evidence of benefit. Heat: may reduce pain and disability in pain of less than 3 months, although the benefit was small and short.And we should always teach safe lifting techniques: bend at the knees, keep the load close, avoid twisting. It's basic knowledge, but it is very effective in preventing recurrence.Jordan:Now, if a patient fails to improve after 6 weeks of conservative therapy, or if they develop new neurologic deficits, that's when we think about referral to spine specialists or surgical consultation.Michael:And as previously mentioned: in cases where back pain becomes chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks) a multidisciplinary approach works best. That can include:Physical therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) And sometimes pain management interventions. Jordan:We can't forget the psychological toll either. Chronic back pain is associated with depression, anxiety, and opioid dependence. Increased risk factors include obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and previous back injuries.Dr. Arreaza:Well said. So, let's summarize. Michael?Michael:Sure! Low back pain is common, and most cases are benign. But we have to know the red flags that point to serious pathology. A focused history and physical exam are more powerful than many people realize. And the first step in treatment is almost always conservative, with a strong emphasis on maintaining physical activity.Jordan:And don't underestimate the value of patient education. Helping patients understand their pain, set realistic expectations, and stay active is often just as important as the medications or therapies we offer.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Story at-a-glance A study found that vegetarians who ate plant-based fake meat are 42% more likely to experience depression than those who don't, even when factors like age, BMI, and lifestyle are taken into account Eating fake meat leads to higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation linked to chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders Triglycerides were elevated and HDL cholesterol was lower in those eating fake meat, increasing their long-term risk for cardiovascular disease The body reacts to fake meat not because of its nutrients, but because of ultraprocessed ingredients and additives that disrupt immune signaling and metabolic function Even when blood nutrient levels appear normal, the deeper immune system activity reveals that fake meat is pushing your body toward inflammation and oxidative stress

In this solo episode, Dr. Mike Hart delves into the surprising results of his recent fatty acid test. Despite maintaining a clean diet that excludes seed oils and includes supplements like Omega-3 fatty acids, the test revealed elevated levels of inflammation markers. The episode covers detailed analysis of Omega-3 index, EPA, DHA, and AA levels, and the significance of each in cardiovascular health and inflammation. Dr. Hart discusses dietary changes, such as increasing EPA intake and eliminating almond butter, to address these findings. He also plans to retest in the future and monitor improvements in his inflammatory markers and overall health.    (00:00) Introduction and Podcast Overview (01:30) Shocking Fatty Acid Test Results (01:30) Detailed Breakdown of Omega-3 Index (02:30) EPA and DHA Analysis (03:30) Arachidonic Acid and Inflammation (04:30) AA to EPA Ratio and Its Importance (11:30) Steps to Improve Fatty Acid Profile (16:00) Additional Health Markers and Final Thoughts (24:00) Conclusion and Future Plans   --- Dr. Mike Hart is a Cannabis Physician and Lifestyle Strategist.

We're digging into egg health, inflammation, and the key factors that cause it. We often hear about “low AMH” or “poor egg quality” without answers that go beneath the surface. In today's episode, we explore a missing link that could be driving it all: chronic inflammation. Whether you're dealing with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), or recurrent miscarriage, understanding inflammation's role may be key to moving forward. This episode is for anyone ready to connect the dots between lab results, symptoms, and what's going on inside the body. If you've been told everything is “normal,” but it doesn't feel that way, this is your invitation to dig deeper with science, strategy, and a plan. This episode is for you if: You're struggling with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or poor egg quality. You want to understand how inflammation could be impacting your fertility journey. You're looking for actionable insights to support egg health naturally through lab markers and lifestyle factors. In this episode you'll learn: How chronic inflammation affects egg quality, ovarian reserve, and miscarriage risk Why low AMH isn't the full story and what labs to ask for next Key blood markers (like hs-CRP, homocysteine, and thyroid antibodies) that reveal hidden inflammation The role of insulin resistance, thyroid imbalance, and nutrient deficiencies in ovarian aging Practical strategies to reduce inflammation and improve egg health with a functional approach --- RESOURCES "Your Labs Are Normal” But Are They? 20 Overlooked Blood Markers & Functional Tests to Improve Egg Quality & Fertility:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/your-labs-are-normal-but-are-they-20-overlooked-blood-markers-functional-tests-to-improve-egg-quality-fertility Why Does It Matter If I Have Migraines and POI?: https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-does-it-matter-if-i-have-migraines-and-poi?_pos=2&_sid=27548216b&_ss=r The Link Between Sleep and Fertility: Why Getting Enough Rest Matters:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/how-poor-sleep-could-be-sabotaging-your-egg-quality Why Addressing Homocysteine Levels Can Boost Egg and Sperm Health: https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-addressing-homocysteine-levels-can-boost-egg-and-sperm-health?_pos=1&_sid=750cbcc5e&_ss=r What Mood Swings, Sugar Cravings, Poor Sleep and Feeling Hangry Have to Do With Your Fertility:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/what-mood-swings-sugar-cravings-poor-sleep-and-feeling-hangry-has-to-do-with-your-fertility?_pos=11&_sid=02696b0e2&_ss=r Why Genomic Testing Can Help With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Birth Outcomes and Preconception Health:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-genomic-testing-can-help-with-recurrent-pregnancy-loss-birth-outcomes-and-preconception-health?_pos=10&_sid=8a66db686&_ss=r Is Your Thyroid Impacting Egg Health?

In this week's Farm Companion, we're putting in the work and stacking days with fall on our minds. As we wrap up our summer plots, it's hard not to start thinking ahead to deer season. In Illinois, we're locking in the CRP renewal, picking out stand locations, and getting in the mindset of holding mature bucks. Meanwhile, in Ohio, the grind doesn't stop—we're fine-tuning every inch of ground that could turn into a hot spot. Fall plots are up next, and every move we make now is about tipping the odds in our favor when that first buck steps out. Deer season's coming fast—and we're making sure these farms are ready. We hope you guys enjoy this series as much as we do. We live this every day, thinking about hunting season 365 days a year, putting in the work to set ourselves up for whitetail success this fall.

Four Fantastic Friends Podcast || Dare To Be Vital BookFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST1. Your Nose Could Predict Your LifespanA reduced sense of smell is significantly linked to early death. In a large study, each misidentified scent increased mortality risk by 5%. Missing 10+ scents raised the risk by 67%, especially from neurodegenerative diseases. Surprisingly, smell training has been shown to support cognitive function and well-being.2. A Selfie May Be a Scientific Vital SignAI tools analyzing facial features from selfies can estimate biological age and predict cancer survival better than chronological age. One model, FaceAge, correlated facial aging with the gene CDK6, a key player in cellular aging—suggesting that what we see in the mirror may reflect what's happening at the molecular level.3. Two Apples a Day Keep Inflammation AwayConsuming apples—especially Gala varieties—reduced inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6), improved cholesterol, and enhanced antioxidant capacity in studies. Thanks to polyphenols and pectin, apples are a simple, data-backed intervention for improving vitality.4. Grip Strength Is the New SmokingLow grip strength, adjusted for body weight, is strongly linked to accelerated biological aging, chronic diseases, and premature death. It's a powerful, inexpensive, and practical biomarker. Boosting strength through resistance training is one of the most effective longevity tools.5. Optimism Extends LifeA positive mindset is scientifically linked to longer life—up to 15% longer for women and 11% for men. Optimistic individuals had a significantly higher chance of living to 85+. Optimism can be cultivated by reframing challenges and focusing on controllable responses.Four Fantastic Friends Podcast || Dare To Be Vital Book This is a public episode.

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's Director of Government Affairs Andrew Schmidt to discuss the current Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) signup and its relevance for bird hunters. There are currently 1.8 million acres available for CRP enrollment this fiscal year with a signup underway right now through June 6th. Schmidt also discusses new proposals aimed at improving CRP and increasing funding for walk-in access programs. Episode Highlights: • Schmidt examines how bird populations have correlated with CRP acreage since the program began in 1985 and emphasizes the role of CRP acres in increasing public access through state walk-in programs. • The discussion covers a range of benefits provided by CRP, including contributions to rural economies via wildlife habitat, enhancement of water resources and soil health, and risk mitigation for farmers and ranchers. • Schmidt outlines the distinctions between general CRP, continuous CRP, CREP, and other signups, and explains how the Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP) increases public access for bird hunters.

Send us a textTake the Health Type Quiz or Join the Newsletter herePlease give me podcast feedback with a few questions hereIn this episode, I revisit the most powerful tool for longevity—exercise—and unpack fresh research that changes how we should think about its timing, type, and impact.We begin with a quick recap of the foundational elements covered in Episode 2, emphasizing that aerobic activity can lower the risk of mortality, heart attack, stroke, cancer, and dementia by 20–30%, even when started later in life. Then we explore compelling new studies that show how exercise affects everything from blood pressure to brain volume. A meta-analysis of 14,000 participants shows even 15–20 minutes of moderate exercise daily lowers blood pressure. A review of 19 trials links physical activity to better sleep efficiency and reduced wake time. In terms of weight management, a meta-analysis of 116 randomized trials finds that even 30 minutes of exercise weekly leads to measurable weight loss, with a dose-response up to 300 minutes per week.Exercise also appears to influence mood. A review of 33 observational studies involving nearly 100,000 adults suggests that 5,000–7,000 steps daily correlate with reduced depressive symptoms. While causality remains uncertain, the association is intriguing. Beyond mental health, strength training may reduce inflammation: 19 trials show CRP levels dropped in  adults who engaged in resistance training. Perhaps most excitingly, a smaller study found higher cardiorespiratory fitness linked to greater hippocampal volume and better memory in older adults.To optimize these benefits, we explore emerging science around exercise timing and routine structure. A large study of 14,000 users wearing devices found that intense workouts within two hours of bedtime delayed sleep onset by 36 minutes. Perhaps finish workouts at least four hours before sleep for better rest. Interestingly, data from over 400,000 adults reveals that women gain more longevity benefit from exercise than men—and with less time invested.We also cover weekend warriors. A UK Biobank study showed no difference in health outcomes based on when exercise occurred, debunking the belief that daily consistency is essential—what matters is that you do it. If you're sleep-deprived, caffeine might restore performance, as shown in a 10K time trial study. Lastly, a novel study using post-workout cold exposure showed that cold immersion reduced blood flow and amino acid uptake for up to 3 hours.

Story at-a-glance Chronic inflammation drives diseases like heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer and autoimmune conditions. However, standard tests only measure generalized inflammation and does not pinpoint the exact tissues affected Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a new method to track inflammation at its source using antibodies that detect molecular markers left by reactive oxygen species (ROS) Unlike traditional markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), this new approach could allow doctors to identify specific organs under inflammatory stress, leading to earlier and more precise diagnoses Emerging research challenges the idea that chronic inflammation is just unresolved acute inflammation. Researchers suggest it results from a lack of anti-inflammatory mediators, not just excessive inflammatory signaling Key drivers of chronic inflammation include excess linoleic acid, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, endotoxins and electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
