Dr. Tony Ebel interviews Jordan Rubin about his new book, "The Biblio Diet" co-authored with Dr. Josh Axe. This groundbreaking conversation challenges conventional dietary restrictions that overwhelm families with neurodivergent children. Rubin presents biblical principles for eating that contradict modern health advice, arguing that grains, dairy, and red meat can be healing foods when consumed in their proper form. The discussion covers the difference between industrially processed foods versus traditionally prepared versions, emphasizing that God's original design for food and our nervous systems work together for optimal health. Rather than endless restrictions, the Biblio Diet offers families a simpler, more sustainable approach to nutrition rooted in biblical wisdom.-----Links & Resources:Download your free chapter of The Biblio Diet at: www.thebibliodiet.comBuy the full book 'The Biblio Diet' by Jordan Rubin and Dr. Josh Axe anywhere books are sold.Follow Jordan on Socials: Instagram: @jordansrubinFacebook: @Jordan-RubinX: @realjordanrubinTikTok: @jordanrubinLinkedIn: @jordanrubin----Key Topics & Timestamps([00:02:00]) - Core Message: Grains, Dairy & Red Meat Rock Revolutionary claim that these commonly avoided foods can be healing when consumed properly([00:09:00]) - Origin Story: From Paleo to Biblio How the concept emerged 12-14 years ago from critiquing evolutionary-based diets([00:21:00]) - King Solomon's Daily Diet Biblical analysis of the wisest man's eating habits: grass-fed meat and bread([00:24:00]) - Sourdough Bread Solutions Practical advice on finding healthy, traditionally fermented bread that even celiacs can tolerate([00:28:00]) - Form and Function Philosophy Connecting proper food forms with nervous system function for optimal healing([00:33:00]) - Dairy Deep Dive Jordan's personal healing story using copious amounts of the right kind of dairy([00:35:00]) - A1 vs A2 Dairy Explanation The critical difference between harmful A1 and beneficial A2 dairy proteins([00:44:00]) - Book Access and Biblical Food Restrictions Getting "The Biblio Diet" plus discussion of avoiding pork and shellfish([00:50:00]) - Closing Encouragement Final thoughts on experiencing health miracles through biblical nutrition-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

This episode was recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the 2025 Tri-State Dairy Conference.Dr. Carpenter gives an overview of her presentation. She summarizes an Extension risk management project regarding heifer development, assisting dairies in benchmarking their heifer growth and development. Key focus points include reducing morbidity and mortality and timely breeding to achieve goals for age at first calving. Dr. Carpenter also emphasized heat detection and conception, as well as recordkeeping as important considerations for success. (4:10)Dr. Carpenter shares findings from a beef-on-dairy feeding experiment where any calf that had two or more lifetime respiratory events had lower carcass weight and lower return on investment. The panel discusses industry uptake of using lung ultrasounds to evaluate respiratory events. (11:53)Guests talk about different feeding concepts in heifer development and trends in age at first calving over time. (14:31)The panel dives into home-raising versus custom-developing heifers. Dr. Carpenter notes Penn State has great resources regarding custom rearing of dairy heifers. Pros and cons of both systems are discussed, and the panel also touches on rearing of beef-on-dairy calves as well. (19:17)The group returns to the topic of age at first calving. Reducing variation at age at breeding is important, and producers should consult with their nutritionists and veterinarians for a team approach to success. (24:44)Dr. Carpenter and Dr. Tebbe talk about how producers are dealing with replacement heifer shortages. (27:24)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

As President Trump arrives for his State Visit, farmers and milk processors are warning that allowing US dairy producers access to our markets could potentially threaten the financial viability of the UK industry. The National Farmers Union's Dairy Board Chair says the US dairy industry has made no secret of its ambitions to break into the lucrative UK market and has exportable surplus to spare. The NFU and Dairy UK have written to the Prime Minister, demanding that food and animal welfare standards are a red line in future negotiations. We continue our look at services in rural areas with a visit to a voluntary organisation connecting people to health and social care provision in the Highlands, as well as combatting loneliness. We hear from the Nuffield Trust about the extra cost challenges for health providers in rural areas.Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling

In this week's episode of The Best Guest podcast we welcome The Brain Energy Reboot Expert, Moira Newiss.We talk about:Ketogenic & Metabolic Mental HealthMitochondria, Brain Energy & FatigueAutoimmune Conditions & the Carnivore DietAbout Moira NewissMoira Newiss is a BANT registered nutritional therapist, health coach and accredited ketogenic metabolic therapy expert who specialises in brain energy, one of the recently discovered root causes of many mental health problems.Moira's passion for metabolic mental health was sparked after a 20-year career as a senior NHS manager, managing hundreds of staff and multi-million-pound budgets. Following burnout, chronic fatigue and mental illness, she retrained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and became fascinated by the link between energy, mood, mental health and metabolic health. Moira works with individuals who have conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, who have often not found a resolution with medication or psychological support alone. Her personalised approach has helped hundreds to improve their symptoms, with some achieving full remission, that means reversal, of their condition.A regular conference speaker, Moira co-authored the first mental health guidelines for nutritional therapists and published the case report ‘Remission of Schizophrenia Using a Carnivore Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy with Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Support'.Moira is lucky to live on the beautiful west coast of Scotland where she has a large garden, grows her own fruit and vegetables and has a lovely flock of hens. She also loves adventure, regularly climbing mountains, bike packing and hiking in remote spots on short expeditions. Key TakeawaysFor some people, shifting from glucose to ketone fuel can rapidly improve brain fog, mood, and energy.Common keto pitfalls include undereating fat and overeating proteinSleep, morning light, reduced evening blue light, and gentle movement support brain energy and mood.Short-term carnivore diet can be a powerful elimination protocol to calm inflammation, heal the gut and identify food triggers.Dairy-free keto is doable - use coconut fats, olive oil, tallow/lard, fatty fish; check labels on “milks” for hidden carbs.QuoteI had planned to do a hundred kilometre bike ride, and I remember crossing the finishing line thinking—and I was crying 'cause it was just an emotional thing—I just knew I cracked it. I just knew the energy was there. I'd cycled a hundred kilometres with no carbohydrates.Connect with Moira NewissWebsite: https://www.moiranewiss.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moiranewiss LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moira-newiss/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@moiranewiss Connect with Victoria BennionLearn more about us: https://thebestpodcastguest.co.uk/Download our Podcast Guest Starter Kit: The Podcast Guest Starter Kit gives you a proven plan to find the right shows, craft a winning pitch, and maximise every interview.

DSD 6.9 | Surplus calves are a perishable commodity This robust beef market is having a direct impact on the bottom line of dairy calf buyers and possesses the ability to radically impact dairymen's bottom line long term through low all milk prices. This month we talk to researcher Dr. Sam Locke from The Ohio State University about a survey launched to help better understand the workings of the current calf buyers, jockeys and marketers. All sectors of this parallel and complementary production stream must work together for the dairy industry to generate a stronger, longer - lasting foothold in the beef industry. If done well through this opportunity, the dairy surplus calf market will establish a foothold in the beef supply chain. Listen in to hear insightful quotes from these Midwest calf buyers to help maximize your operation's innate revenue stream.

This week on The Moos Room, Brad shares updates from the University of Minnesota's dairy research center, where staff have been on strike and he's been back in the barn doing chores, milking, feeding, and even pulling calves late at night. With calving season underway, Brad shifts the focus to a new review article on weaning practices in young ruminants, authored by Heather Nave at Purdue University.The discussion explores the stress calves, lambs, goat kids, and beef calves experience when transitioning from milk to solid feed, and how management decisions—such as weaning age and milk removal method—impact long-term health, growth, and welfare. Brad breaks down the pros and cons of abrupt versus gradual weaning, highlights the benefits of later weaning, and shares practical strategies to reduce stress, from nutritional management and water access to social housing and avoiding stacked stressors.Key takeaways include:Later and gradual weaning generally improves growth, gut health, and reduces stress.Early access to palatable solid feed and free-choice water is essential for rumen development.Environmental enrichment and positive human contact can help ease the transition.Veterinarians and farmers should balance short-term economics with long-term animal health and productivity.Tune in for research-backed insights and practical tips to improve calf and herd outcomes during one of the most critical stages of development.Improving the Welfare of Ruminants Around Weaning  in Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal PracticeQuestions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory 

It was a packed Monday on the AgNet News Hour as hosts Nick Papagni, the Ag Meter, and Josh McGill delivered a show full of breaking updates for California agriculture. From shifting almond yields to critical relief for the dairy sector, farmers had plenty to tune in for. Almond Industry Update Nick sat down with Steve Malanka of West Valley Hauling for a ground-level perspective on this year's almond crop. Early in the season, projections of a massive three-billion-pound harvest had many in the industry worried about oversupply and falling prices. But Malanka's firsthand reports from the field paint a different picture. Yields are consistently off across the Central Valley, with haulers seeing reductions ranging anywhere from 10 to 22 percent compared to last year. Nonpareil yields are down significantly in many orchards, with some growers harvesting closer to 1,200 to 1,800 pounds per acre rather than the state's average of over 2,000. That decline is already strengthening prices, with growers seeing firmer markets and the possibility of hitting $3 per pound by spring. Malanka also broke down the quality challenges. This year, almond hulls absorbed much of the trees' energy, leaving smaller kernels and lower “turnouts.” While that's a concern for nut buyers, the dairy industry may benefit from the abundance of heavier hulls that are a valuable feed source. Major USDA Announcement for Dairy Producers The biggest news of the day came directly from USDA Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Vaden, who joined the show to announce an additional $1 billion in relief for livestock producers, including California's struggling dairy farmers. The funds, part of the Emergency Livestock Relief Program, are designed to offset increased feed costs caused by the flooding and wildfires of 2023 and 2024. This brings total ELRP funding to a record $2 billion. Importantly, Vaden emphasized that money will go directly to producers through their local FSA offices, with signups beginning September 15 and running through October 31. “This is going directly into the hands of California dairy producers,” Vaden said. “They need this money now, and we're making sure it gets to them quickly.” Why It Matters For California's farmers, the dual updates highlight both challenge and opportunity. Almond growers are watching yields decline but prices rebound, while dairymen finally see long-awaited federal support. As Nick and Josh noted, it's one of the most exciting Monday shows yet, with tangible news that could shape the season ahead for two of California's most important industries.

Western United Dairies CEO Anja Raudabaugh joins Amanda Russell for a legislative update covering three big issues: AB 411, the “Cattle Act” allowing mortality composting; SB 601, a water bill with major litigation risks for dairies; and AB 1264, a school nutrition bill that could have impacted dairy's place on student lunch menus. They also touch on federal policy priorities, the farm bill, and ongoing support for farms navigating avian influenza. Tune in for the latest on what's at stake for California dairies in Sacramento and beyond.

In the final installment of the Country Aire Farms series, brothers Craig and Nick Gerrits reflect on stepping into leadership roles within their family's dairy operation. They discuss the challenges of earning respect, building trust with employees, and maintaining a healthy leadership mindset, even during tough times. The episode highlights the importance of confidence, open communication, and continuous learning, as well as the legacy and values passed down through generations. Both brothers share advice they would give their younger selves, emphasizing the need for self-trust, motivation, and a focus on personal well-being to lead effectively. The story of Country Aire Farms is ultimately one of family, tradition, and progressive growth in the dairy industry.This episode is brought to you by DeLaval.

Poultry leads the move lower as chicken prices ease, but across the board, the markets are full of mixed signals. Beef stays strong, dairy keeps sliding, and pork and grains add their own twists.BEEF: Demand is cooling a touch with grinds, briskets, and flanks easing back, but ribeyes and tenderloins are still charging higher. Supplies remain too tight for a true correction, so any relief looks more like a pause than a pullback. Heading into the holidays, the pain point for consumers hasn't hit yet – and we may not be close.POULTRY: Avian flu is back in the headlines – six new cases this week, hitting nearly 300K turkeys, stirred up by cooler weather and migration. On the chicken side, it's all good news: supply is finally ahead of demand, bringing prices down across the board. The question is, how long will the balance last?GRAINS: Markets are holding steady with corn at $4.17, soy flat, and wheat unchanged. All eyes are on the USDA report out Friday – if crop yield estimates are trimmed, we could finally see a push higher. Until then, it's calm in the grain bin.PORK: Bellies finally slipped, closing at $172 – down $10 from last week – and should keep easing over the next few weeks. But with cold storage stocks very low, don't expect a major falloff. Meanwhile, butts and ribs are ticking higher, loins are steady, and pork still delivers solid value on the plate.DAIRY: It's week four of declines at the CME – barrel down 8, block off 7, and butter slipping another 3. The slide keeps rolling, and while it's unclear how long it will last, for now we'll take the ride. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

This episode was recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the 2025 Tri-State Dairy Conference.Dr. Jaborek gives an overview of his presentation including sire selection, how beef on dairy crosses compare, feedlot performance, liver abscesses and red meat yield. (6:21)Beef sire availability and quality have changed over time with the development of selection indexes and selection criteria. Calving ease, growth, ribeye area,and quality grade are important traits. (10:03)The panel discusses if milk replacer feeding protocols differ for beef on dairy calves. More research in this area is needed. The group then talks about liver abscesses, including etiology, prevalence, and animal welfare and performance impacts. Dr. Jaborek notes calves with liver abscesses gain about 0.2 pounds per day less, on average. The panel believes understanding the impacts of diet differences (beef calves vs. the dairy model) in early life on rumen development would be a fruitful area of research.  (16:00)Dr. Jaborek talks about some of the differences in growth and performance among beef calves raised on their dam, beef embryos from Holstein recips raised in the dairy system, and beef-sired calves from Holstein and Jersey dams raised in the dairy system. The panel talks about why beef calves in the beef system are outperforming those raised in the dairy system, including milk composition differences between beef and dairy cows and milk quantity and availability. Free-choice robot milk replacer feeding systems might better mimic the beef system environment. (26:21)The panel then explores how beef on dairy calves are fed post-weaning. Dr. Jaborek notes they generally continue to be fed a high concentrate diet which may contribute to the liver abscess and digestive issues given the long timeframe of exposure to concentrates. The panel ponders if backgrounding calves on pasture for some length of time after weaning would be beneficial. The group also delves into how maintenance requirements might differ for beef on dairy crosses and if feedlot nutritionists are making adjustments for these calves. (30:45)Given the price of beef calves, would it be more profitable to put beef embryos into dairy cows instead of using beef semen to create a beef-dairy crossbred? Matt then asks if any dairy producers are retaining ownership of these calves past 1-3 days of age. The panel discusses risks and rewards of both questions. (34:29)The panel talks about corn processing and potential impacts on rumen health and liver abscesses. Dr. Jaborek cites a study where feeding more fiber in the form of corn silage did not increase cost of gain, but improved liver abscess reduction by 30 percentage points. (38:47)Dr. Jaborek talks about yield and quality differences in dairy-influenced carcasses and talks about his top priorities for research in the beef on dairy sector moving forward.

Adam creates a live hypnosis session inspired by an old dairy in Kenwood House in Hampstead Heath, London, where Adam uses the metaphor of turning fresh milk into cream, cheeses and desserts as a way to help the unconscious turn an abundant low-value emotion into something much more useful and valuable.

Multiple stories involving Madison's unhoused population have made headlines in recent weeks — from money questions about the upcoming permanent men's shelter, to disturbances at the Social Justice Center, to whether or not funding will continue for the first city-sanctioned encampment at Dairy Drive. There's a lot to take in. To dig into these stories and the complex causes and solutions surrounding them, we spoke with Brenda Konkel, longtime advocate and executive director of Madison Street Medicine. 

In this episode, Brad dives into the growing interest in milk fatty acid profiles and what they can tell us about cow health, nutrition, and management.Brad explains the three main groups of milk fatty acids—de novo, mixed, and preformed—and how they are shaped by diet, stage of lactation, seasonality, and even genetics. He highlights how monitoring these fatty acid trends through routine milk testing can help farmers fine-tune rations, detect health challenges like subclinical ketosis or mastitis, and make more informed feeding decisions.Brad also shares findings from two recent University of Minnesota research projects:Commercial herd study: Comparing Holsteins and crossbreds, as well as feeding strategies (higher starch diets vs. fat supplementation). Results showed small but meaningful differences in fatty acid profiles, with crossbreds showing slightly healthier rumen indicators.University herd study: Comparing organic pasture-based cows to conventional TMR-fed cows, and looking at breed influences (Holsteins, Viking Reds, Jerseys, and Normandy crosses). Pasture cows had higher preformed fatty acids, while Jerseys and Normandy crosses stood out for more favorable fatty acid compositions.The takeaway: fatty acid testing is a valuable management tool for nutrition, genetics, and herd health monitoring—and could even open new opportunities for niche milk markets.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Summer's still sizzling in the beef market, but other proteins and dairy are slipping. From ribeye highs to butter slides, it's a week of high steaks and low falls across the board.BEEF: Signs point to the market finally cooling as we move through September – but it may be short-lived. Ribeyes, tenderloins, chucks, rounds, and grinds are still climbing, though thin meats like skirts and briskets are starting to slip. With herds small and Mexico still closed, high prices aren't going anywhere soon… moderation may be coming, but not just yet.POULTRY: Production stays strong – up about 1% – but prices are sliding for the second week straight. Wings, breasts, and tenders are all moving lower, making chicken a solid feature right now. Still, with one new avian flu case reported and cooler weather coming, could we see trouble ahead?GRAINS: Corn nudged back over $4 for the first time in three weeks as export demand looks solid and crop estimates soften a bit from “best ever” to “some issues.” Soy keeps trying to rally but can't quite get there, while wheat remains the bargain buy of the bunch.PORK: Bellies are stuck in the $180–$185 range, closing at $182 – but the next move looks lower, so it's not the time to load up. Butts and ribs are bouncing back after recent declines, while loins continue to be the standout value cut.DAIRY: Week three of a sliding CME – barrel down 1, block down 3, and butter off another 11 after last week's steep drop. It's not a massive slide, but the steady decline is adding up – will the dip deepen, or start to level out?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

The growing season's been going fairly well for vegetable growers in the state, but that can change quickly. Some tomato and potato growers have seen early blight in their crops. The fungus can lay waste to entire fields. Kiley Allan speaks with Amanda Gevens, professor and Extension Specialist in Potato and Vegetable Pathology. Gevens says growers need to continue monitoring crops for late blight, and take precautions when disposing of infected plants. Northern Wisconsin could see a light frost overnight with temperatures dipping to the low 40's. Stu Muck's keeping an eye on the forecast. He says the extended forecast starts to return to warmer temperatures beginning next week. You may not realize it, but a lot of Wisconsin farms need to rely on contract labor to complete a lot of tasks around the farm before the snow arrives. Spreading manure according to regulations, as well as helping with various phases of the harvest and fall tillage are part of the array they turn to with custom operators. Ben Jarboe finds out how the pace of activity's starting to pick up from Jeremy Heim, a custom operator himself who sits on the WI Custom Operators board of directors. He says long days are part of the game, but rates and regulations are changing this fall.​ Tomorrow is the beginning of the WI Sheep & Wool Festival in Jefferson. Hedge Becker is one of the festival organizers that says they'll have 30 different breeds of sheep at the show to educate and inform attendees.

Dairy is often treated as a single food group, yet milk, yogurt, cheese, and butter can have very different effects on health. Some evidence links yogurt to favourable outcomes, while butter is known to raise LDL cholesterol. And then there's the paradox of cheese: high in saturated fat, but not consistently associated with higher heart disease risk. These complexities raise the question of whether the “dairy matrix” (the combination of nutrients and food structure) explains why not all dairy acts the same. In this episode, Prof. Jean-Philippe Drouin-Chartier, a nutrition researcher and registered dietitian, is on the show to examine what recent trials and large population studies tell us about dairy foods and cardiometabolic health. The discussion covers blood lipids, blood pressure, glucose metabolism, and how guidelines should interpret this evolving evidence.

In this Labor Day episode, Brad highlights the history of the holiday in the U.S. and Canada before diving into a brand-new genetic evaluation for Holstein dairy cattle: milking speed. Released in August 2025, this trait provides an objective way to measure how quickly cows milk—expressed in pounds of milk per minute—with the Holstein breed average set at 7 lbs/min.Brad explains how this evaluation was developed using parlor sensor data (not robot milking systems) from over 165 herds and 43,000 cows, making it more accurate than traditional subjective scoring methods used in other breeds. With heritability at 42%, milking speed is a promising selection tool for improving parlor efficiency and labor use.The episode also covers:How milking speed correlates with traits like somatic cell score and mastitis.The range of variation in bulls and what that means for selection decisions.Why milking speed isn't yet included in the lifetime merit index.Practical implications for farmers considering faster vs. slower milking cows.Brad wraps up by reflecting on how this new tool could impact herd management at the Morris research herd and encourages producers to watch for milking speed in future bull proofs.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Is veganism a healthy lifestyle or social cult with nutritional gaps? Decades-long vegan Jessica Wynn weighs in on this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1203On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:There's a myth that it's impossible to properly nourish the human body on a vegan diet — but nutritional planning is crucial for optimizing one's health on any diet. B12 supplementation is essential for vegans, and iron absorption improves when paired with vitamin C. Done wrong, any diet can lead to deficiencies."Junk food veganism" defeats the health purpose of this lifestyle. Oreos and processed fake meats are technically vegan but nutritionally empty. Ultra-processed foods aren't healthy regardless of origin.Factory farming ethics drive many vegans. Animals experience pain, fear, and joy, yet ag-gag laws hide slaughterhouse conditions. Environmental impact includes massive water usage and pollution.True veganism extends beyond diet. Hidden animal products lurk in cosmetics (fish scales in mascara), clothing (leather), and processed foods. Reading labels becomes investigative work.Focus on whole foods regardless of diet. Shop the grocery store perimeter for fresh produce, minimize processed foods, and listen to your body's needs for optimal health and balance.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
