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: Angela: I have stage 1 lipedema. recently last 3 years gained about 30lbs. I am 43 and looking for help. I have had lipedema for as long as I can remember feeling my thighs were just SO fatty even when I was thiner. 120-132 lbs I want to feel like me again Erik: Hi Dr. C, I was hoping to get some guidance about protocols. As of now I'm half way through the mold protocol after finishing the CBO protocol this spring. I had pretty bad bacterial overgrowth and mold markers. Ive been out of the mold for a year and was feeling good through the CBO protocol. However, the last week of the CBO protocol was the week of my yearly fishing trip. I had fun but it also involves a lot of processed foods and alcohol. This resulted in my bad joint pain starting mid meal coming back and almost feeling like Im starting over. On the mold protocol the joint pain during and post meal has continued despite eating lower histamine and taking DAO. Im almost 2 months in taking the clean gut probiotic and healthy gut support. Any suggestions what to do after heavy metal detox. Alicja: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do. I'm your long time listener. I'm 43 yo and recently I started noticing my heart working differently. From time to time I experience very forceful heart beat. It is very noticeable and uncomfortable, like a hard thump. I'm not sure what is happening and what is causing it. It happens at random times of days, more and more often, and always at bed time when I try to go to sleep. Last night I counted and had the "hard thump" heart beat about every 10 seconds. Is this dangerous? What should I do about it? My puls is normal and I'm prone to low blood pressure. I'm not out of breath, but when I experience the hard thumps, it is harder to breathe. Why did I started experiencing this? Amy: I heard you mention on an earlier podcast that you have worked with people that have JAK2 mutation. Is there actually a way to treat this naturally without using pharmaceuticals? My mom has this and they had her on a low dose chemo drug. We are wondering what (if anything) can be done naturally to help lower her platelet count. Thank you Dr. Cabral! Anonymous: Hi! Hope you're doing well. I saw a reel on IG that we shouldn't mix bananas and blueberries because blueberries contain flavonoids and banana contains PPO which breaks down flavonoids? Is there any truth to this? And secondly, what do you think about the viral olive oil and lemon shots in the morning? They list so many benefits. If you are a proponent, how much of each would you use? Third question: is dancing a good way of exercising? I don't particularly enjoy other types of exercise like strength training, but dancing is something I could do every other day.. sometimes I could also do pilates but have to force myself to do it.. what would you recommend on a weekly basis? Thank you for your comprehensive answers and all you do, you're such a gem!

Histamine intolerance spikes in the four to seven days before your period, because progesterone and estrogen drop together and you lose DAO support and GABA buffering at the same time. Liz & Becca break down why perimenopause makes it worse, whether ox bile and digestive enzymes are safe with a gallbladder, and why a normal hs-CRP doesn't rule out inflammation. Hives, migraines, insomnia, bloating, constipation, anovulatory cycles and mast cells — the hormone drop is the trigger, not the cause.***Want our Perimenopause and Histamine Protocol?

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome can affect nearly every system in the body—and its symptoms are often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or mistaken for anxiety. In this deeply personal conversation, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with integrative and functional registered dietitian Michelle Shapiro, RD, to unpack MCAS, histamine intolerance, and the experience of living in a “highly sensitive body.” Michelle shares how rapid weight loss, nutrient depletion, mold exposure, long COVID, and an injury left her increasingly ill and eventually bedbound. She explains why common wellness protocols can make highly sensitive patients worse, how mast cells interact with the nervous, vascular, immune, and connective-tissue systems, and why meaningful care must be personalized—not pulled from a one-size-fits-all protocol. May also opens up about her own MCAS journey, including years of unexplained symptoms, hormonal and genetic factors, severe post-COVID illness, and the trial-and-error process that finally helped her connect the dots. In This Episode Michelle's path from rapid weight loss and chronic panic symptoms to functional nutrition and MCAS advocacy What mast cells do—and why MCAS can create symptoms across multiple body systems Why flushing, itching, reflux, dizziness, insomnia, migraines, palpitations, anxiety-like episodes, and food reactions may seem unrelated The difference between ordinary allergy symptoms, histamine intolerance, and a broader mast-cell activation pattern Why MCAS can be difficult to diagnose and why laboratory testing may not capture an active flare How nervous-system dysregulation, blood-flow changes, connective tissue, immune activation, trauma, stress, and hormones can interact The overlap among MCAS, POTS, hypermobility, and long COVID Why aggressive detoxes, IV therapies, restrictive diets, or popular supplements may backfire in highly sensitive bodies The role of antihistamines, mast-cell stabilizers, DAO support, food freshness, and individualized risk-benefit decisions Why every medication and supplement should “fight for its life” before earning a place in a care plan How validation, pattern recognition, and a slower, personalized approach can help interrupt the symptom snowball About Michelle Shapiro, RD Michelle Shapiro is an Integrative and Functional Registered Dietitian and founder of Michelle Shapiro Nutrition LLC. Her practice specializes in supporting people with complex chronic conditions, including MCAS, POTS, histamine intolerance, Long COVID, autoimmune conditions, and gastrointestinal issues. After experiencing her own health challenges with Long COVID, MCAS, POTS, and thyroid issues, Michelle brought that firsthand perspective into her work helping patients better understand complex and highly sensitive bodies. Michelle is also the host of the Quiet the Diet podcast and creator of the Highly Sensitive Body™ Hub, a resource dedicated to MCAS, POTS, hypermobility, and Long COVID.

Jacie and Barbara share some suggestions for a “CIRS starter pack” inspired by their community: a menu of practical, non-medical supports to help CIRS patients feel better while waiting to see a provider and pursuing root-cause treatment. They cover environmental steps like using an Air Oasis air purifier and improving cleaning/laundry and bedding routines, plus daily hygiene tools like acidifying body wash. They discuss sleep basics (consistent schedule, morning light for MSH, and optimizing light/sound/temperature), hydration and electrolytes for ADH/osmolality issues, nutrition with adequate calories and protein, and the importance of daily bowel movements for binder-based toxin elimination. Gut support includes going gluten-free, ProButyrate, prebiotics (Sunfiber, HMO, beans/edamame), and probiotics (Probiotic Pro, Florastor). They also address slow, titrated movement, recovery tools (sauna, red light, Epsom baths/magnesium spray), nervous system regulation and supportive community, histamine/mast cell strategies (Zyrtec, cromolyn nasal spray, DAO, HistaAid), as well as their own personal starter-pack essentials.

What should I do to it, to make it last? I do want it to remain functional, even after a cleaning, not necessarily straight off the wall, and it has wooden parts. Not sure if that makes any difference in regards to oils etc. Thanks lady-boys. Question from Jeremy from Nebraska Jeremy from Nebraska.

Officials determined that all alleged uncommanded discharges were traced to the trigger being pulled, with no mechanically caused accidental discharges ever recorded. Firearms mishaps represent less than 0.006% of all MHS pistols issued; the Pentagon attributes safety concerns to public speculation and online misinformation. The Gist: The Gist: Pentagon investigation concluded no mechanical failures in M18; all incidents resulted from trigger pull, including the fatal airman case initially misrepresented (two airmen pleaded guilty to false statements).

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Post-COVID Gut Health and Rethinking Blood Pressure Targets [0:04:24] – Nutrition World Health Fair & Upcoming Lectures Ed announces Nutrition World's Health Fair on October 24 (described as one of the biggest in the region). Emphasis on two “types of people”: learners vs. non‑learners; audience is framed as “learners.” Preview of free 30–40 minute lectures during the fair: Dave from Tonal Spine – energy systems and spinal health (non-traditional, beyond standard chiropractic). Laura Chastain – Optimize You – especially women's hormones; described as very skilled and experienced. Dr. Shalay (Chicago) – integrative healthcare, helping the body heal itself vs. “band-aid” approaches. Charles – Scenic City Neurotherapy – IV ketamine for: Chronic anxiety and depression PTSD Some applications in joint pain/arthritis (Ed notes his own experience for hip pain). Strong emphasis on root-cause medicine vs. symptom masking. [0:08:25] – Butter Wrappers & “Forever Chemicals” Ed raises a niche but practical topic: chemicals in butter wrappers. Refers to testing reported by Mammovation: Higher concern (more fluorine / “forever chemicals”): Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter Land O' Lakes salted butter Better / lower concern options: Kirkland (Costco) – lower levels Best butter wrappers listed: Whole Foods Market butter Horizon Kate's Salted Kirkland Organic Salted Butter Takeaway: Shop with knowledge; packaging/liners can be a hidden health variable. [0:12:50] – Nurse Practitioner Meredith Mason (Brio Functional Medicine) Introduction: Guest: Meredith Mason, NP, founder of Brio Functional Medicine (opened in 2018). Ed recalls having her on roughly seven years ago. COVID & long-COVID context: Meredith had two years of practice before COVID; she values that pre-COVID baseline. Notes a “triad” she sees repeatedly since COVID: Chronic fatigue Mast cell / high-histamine symptoms Digestive complaints / gut issues Clinic intake includes a 20-page questionnaire; many patients answer “When did you last feel well?” with: “2019” “Before I had COVID” “Before COVID vaccination” Meredith's personal health journey: At ~18–19, she had a mysterious illness with severe throat infection, ER visit, fatigue, and eventual chronic pain and fatigue. This pushed her toward integrative and root-cause medicine. COVID leading to apparent Epstein–Barr reactivation: After an infection in late 2021, she develops: Marked fatigue Mast-cell-type histamine issues Digestive symptoms Suspects Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, not just mitochondrial dysfunction. Meredith's own approach: Used a Kasia Kines‑style nutritional protocol plus antivirals with a Florida physician. Her Early Antigen D normalized, with improved fatigue. EBV & herpesvirus family: Clarifies: Epstein–Barr is a herpesvirus, in the same family as: CMV (cytomegalovirus) HSV-1/HSV-2 Varicella (chickenpox) High-dose lysine known to slow replication of herpes viruses. [0:23:14] – H. pylori, Histamine Intolerance & Post-COVID Gut Changes Meredith's own mast-cell / histamine journey: Developed severe histamine symptoms post-COVID. Conventional H1 and H2 blockers (Claritin, Zyrtec, Pepcid/Famotidine) did not resolve issues. She also tried quercetin, luteolin, and evaluated genetics (DAO and HNMT) but didn't find a complete explanation. Turning to the gut: Ordered a GI-MAP functional stool test and found: Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella pneumoniae – both high histamine‑producing bacteria. Hypothesis: COVID changes the gut microbiome (e.g., lowering beneficial Bifidobacteria), creating an environment for histamine‑producing species to overgrow. Widespread H. pylori findings: In recent stool tests, >90% of her patients are now positive for H. pylori. H. pylori: Is a mast-cell activator Classically associated with stomach ulcers, but also with pancreatic cancer Meredith notes a personal family loss to pancreatic cancer in someone with prior H. pylori. Testing approaches: Functional medicine: GI-MAP (DNA-based) often picks up H. pylori even when: Breath tests, Endoscopic biopsies, or Traditional antibody tests come back negative. Distinguishes: Blood antibodies – tell you if you've ever had H. pylori, not necessarily current infection. Stool antigen/DNA – better for current infection. When to treat: She monitors elastase-1 (pancreatic enzyme output) on stool testing: Low elastase suggests H. pylori may be impairing stomach acid and downstream digestion. Treatment approach: Main tool: Mastic gum (a Mediterranean shrub extract) twice daily. Sometimes bismuth/Pepto‑style support depending on symptoms. Ed notes he often feels better whenever he uses mastic gum and now wants to test himself for H. pylori. Secretory IgA & post-COVID gut immunity: She's seeing dramatic reductions in secretory IgA (sIgA) on stool results—even in people in their 20s. sIgA = the primary immune antibody at the gut lining. Her working view: COVID appears to suppress gut immune function, making people more vulnerable to pathogens like H. pylori and histamine-producing bacteria. Core goal at Brio: heal leaky gut, rebuild sIgA, and restore gut-driven immunity. Clinic details: Brio Functional Medicine (Lee Highway “wellness corner” next to Nutrition World).

[0:35:42] – Dr. Curt Dearing on Blood Pressure & Conventional Medicine Historical BP Targets & Over-Lowering Risks Dr. Curt Dearing outlines four major issues with conventional blood pressure management. Evolving guidelines: 1977 Joint National Committee (JNC): Acceptable up to 160/95; treatment mainly when diastolic ≥105. JNC 5 and 7: 140/90 becomes standard; 130/80 suggested for high-risk (diabetes, CKD). 2017 ACC/AHA: 130/80 becomes diagnostic threshold. Some now push for “optimal” ~110/70. Curt's view: For older adults, the vascular system changes; some rise in BP is normal and necessary. Aggressively pushing older patients into 110s/60s can be harmful. J-curve phenomenon: As BP is lowered, risk decreases until a threshold, after which lower BP increases risk again. Key data he cites: 2018 Lancet (1+ million patients): No increased mortality at 150/100. American Journal of Hypertension: All-cause mortality increases at ~110/70 range. Practical implication: Very low BP (especially diastolic

Yan Pritzker, Swan's cofounder and CTO, walks his new essay on Bitcoin fork history, from the 2015 block size debates through the hard fork scheduled for September 1. Published on the Swan blog and posted to X during the show. His own entry point was Ethereum, not Bitcoin. The 2016 DAO rollback split the chain and created Ethereum Classic, and watching that taught him what a fork actually is before he lived through one in Bitcoin. Soft fork versus hard fork, explained without jargon. A soft fork produces blocks old nodes still accept. A hard fork produces blocks every existing node rejects, which means everyone must upgrade or the new chain is invisible to them. The asymmetry that decides every hard fork. Doing nothing rejects it by default. The forker has to convince every exchange, business, and holder to change software, including people asleep, on vacation, or gone. Brady's summary: they said if you're not with us you're against us, but the truth is if you're not with us, you ignored us. The block size wars were about governance, not block size. The big blockers had 58 companies, 22 countries, 83% of hash power. They still lost, because Bitcoin is not decided by a vote but by whether the blocks you produce get accepted. A 2010 forum post Yan found while researching. Jeff Garzik proposed a few lines of code to match PayPal's throughput, and 13 minutes later theymos and then Satoshi told him it would fork him off the network. The idea and the answer are both sixteen years old. The SegWit2x futures market as free-market polling. Exchanges let people trade the forked coin before the fork existed, it priced below Bitcoin, and miners used that signal. Brady: you are risking capital to vote, not answering a question on the telephone. Why every fork coin bleeds out. Holders receive it at a cost basis of zero, so selling at any price above zero is profit. Brady recounts selling his Bitcoin Cash near the intraday top around 0.4 to 0.45 BTC on Thanksgiving week 2017, watching a Telegram group call the biggest red candle in Bitcoin's history. Suze sat through six days of Craig Wright's cross-examination and describes supporters leaving court convinced he was winning. Yan's read: each splinter selects for the most willing to believe, producing what Brady calls mini cults. ⭐ The practical warning, and the reason to listen: do nothing. Replay attacks mean a transaction signed to move fork coins can be rebroadcast on Bitcoin and move your real Bitcoin. Never type a seed phrase into fork software, and treat any urgent instruction as a scam. On tail emissions: Yan grants that if Bitcoin had launched with 0.1% inflation nobody would object, because the point of the monetary policy is that it is fixed and predictable. Introducing it now is different, and he points at Ethereum changing its policy as the demonstration. His closing thought turns the whole story around. Every failed fork has proved Bitcoin cannot be changed, and the price rose after each one. He suggests this fork may mark the bear market bottom.
Selected teachings from Chuang Tzu excerpted from 'The Complete Works of Chuang Tzu' - translated by Burton Watson. Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi) c. 369–286 BCE was one of ancient China's greatest Daoist sages. Living during the turbulent Warring States period, he rejected worldly ambition and chose a life of simplicity, freedom and contemplation. His teachings are filled with brilliant paradoxes, humour and stories that challenge our deepest assumptions about reality, identity and the self.His timeless work, the Zhuangzi, points toward a life of effortless harmony with the Dao—and freedom from the limitations of the thinking mind. His teaching invites us to let go of fixed ideas, surrender our struggle with life, and awaken to the freedom of simply being.Music: Swami Madhuram (Time for Peace) - with thanks to Swami for his beautiful gifting of music for this channel.https://insighttimer.com/swamimadhuram

*Before a child ever learns language, the nervous system begins writing scripture. Every embrace becomes a sentence. Every absence becomes a definition. Every inconsistency becomes a prophecy. Long before consciousness asks, “Who am I?” survival has already answered, “Become whoever keeps you connected.” Need performs a miracle. It keeps the infant alive. Then, unnoticed, the miracle becomes a monarchy. The architecture that once served survival quietly begins governing identity. Self-worth becomes negotiated. Love becomes verified. Presence becomes performance. Effort becomes evidence. The first environment does not merely teach relationship. It teaches consciousness how to interrupt itself. Perhaps this explains why so many adults call it discernment while living almost entirely inside inherited conclusions. They believe they are evaluating another human being, yet every act of vetting first passes through an invisible inheritance that predates memory itself. The Mother Room has already translated reality before reality has been allowed to speak. Perhaps every wisdom tradition has been circling this same mystery from different horizons. Jung asked whether we remain possessed by what we refuse to see. Krishnamurti questioned whether observation can exist before conclusion. The Dao refuses to force the river because the river never forgot how to become the ocean. Wu wei suggests that life's deepest intelligence appears when compulsion releases its grip. Attachment theory describes the earliest architecture through which safety becomes internalized. Different languages. One investigation. What keeps consciousness from participating in life before it organizes life into something familiar? Relationship therefore becomes something far more unsettling than romance. It becomes the only place where the architecture protecting yesterday collides with the life attempting to arrive today. Every demand for proof. Every craving for reassurance. Every fear of abandonment. Every insistence that love continually demonstrate itself. Each may represent a single movement wearing different disguises: the original pattern asking existence to obey the laws that once made survival possible. Then letting and vetting cease to describe dating strategies. They describe two civilizations living inside one psyche. One civilization believes love must first be secured before it can be trusted. The other discovers that love does not arrive through control, but through participation. Perhaps the greatest relationship never begins between two people. Perhaps it begins the moment consciousness withdraws its unconscious allegiance from yesterday's survival and allows today's embodiment to complete a sentence that fear has interrupted since childhood. Not because love finally arrived. Because the interruption finally departed. CORE PREMISE Every river already knows where it is going. Only the banks believe they are directing the water. Human consciousness appears to carry a similar misunderstanding. Nearly every moment becomes an attempt to negotiate with reality. Accelerate this. Delay that. Keep this. Prevent that. Predict them. Manage uncertainty. Control outcomes. Even love quietly becomes another engineering project. An invisible assumption governs nearly every decision: Life requires my management before it can be trusted. Yet every wisdom tradition eventually arrives at an altogether different possibility. The deepest intelligence may never emerge through greater control. It may emerge only after control exhausts itself. Relationship therefore presents one of the most demanding laboratories a human being will ever enter. Two conditioned identities arrive carrying thousands of conclusions about safety, intimacy, commitment, conflict, masculinity, femininity, trust, abandonment, betrayal, desire, permanence, and love. Each attempts to organize reality around those conclusions. Very little is actually allowed to reveal itself. Perhaps this explains why so much energy becomes invested in determining whether another person deserves entry into our life while almost no attention is given to whether life itself has been allowed to introduce us to ourselves. Vetting asks: “How do I determine whether this person fits the architecture I already possess?” Letting asks: “What architecture within me keeps interrupting reality before reality finishes speaking?” That second question is profoundly Daoist. Because Daoism does not begin with controlling the current. It begins with noticing that the current was already moving before you arrived.

For episode 262 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, we're excited to welcome D.G. Safeer Hopton, a lifelong cooperative innovator, author, and founder of the Global Village Co-op. With more than 50 years in the cooperative movement, going all the way back to 1970, D.G. brings a rare depth of experience in community-owned, democratically governed systems.In crypto, we sometimes talk about decentralization like we invented it. We celebrate DAOs, decentralized autonomous organizations, as a radical new idea: communities that pool resources, share ownership, and make decisions democratically, without a central authority calling the shots. And it is genuinely exciting. But that model isn't new. Not even close.Cooperatives have been proving that decentralization works for decades, even centuries. At its simplest, a co-op is an organization owned and democratically controlled by the people who use it, whether that's workers, customers, or an entire community. The value created stays with the people who created it. And while the modern movement is often traced to a group of weavers in Rochdale, England, in 1844, its roots run far deeper, with profound origins in African and Indigenous economics that D.G. explores in his book, Creating a Co-op Village.So today, we're bridging these two worlds. We explore what cooperatives really are, their deep history, and the striking parallels between co-ops and DAOs. Because if these digital communities are, in many ways, reinventing the co-op with a digital wrapper, then we have an enormous amount to learn from someone who's been doing this the whole time.In today's discussion you'll learn:
Jason Hitchcock is CEO of Greenlane Holdings (Nasdaq: GNLN), the only US-listed vehicle purpose-built to hold BERA, the native token of the Berachain network, and to put that treasury to work inside the chain's Proof of Liquidity economy. Before taking the job in February he spent fifteen years on the business side of technology startups — a venture studio that sold an app to Amazon, a stint at Twitch, then a liquid token fund launched off the back of a DeFi Summer obsession — and most recently ran business development at thirdweb, where he built out chain infrastructure partnerships across more than 150 networks. Why you should listen Greenlane's origin story was as a cannabis accessories distributor that rode the boom and the bust of that industry before the Berachain Foundation went looking for a public-market proxy for a token with no ETF and no ETP. A $110.7 million private placement led by Polychain Capital — half cash and stablecoins, half BERA — brought in a new board, new management and eventually Jason himself. The legacy business survives as an asset-light drop-shipping operation that helps cover overhead. Everything else points at one asset. Greenlane held roughly 77.7 million BERA at the end of the first quarter, close to a third of circulating supply, and grew BERA-per-share about 44 percent over three months while booking an $18.4 million net loss on fair-value markdowns. That combination — accumulating fast while the mark-to-market bleeds — is the whole digital asset treasury trade in miniature. The argument underneath is more interesting than the balance sheet. Jason's view is that "chain revenue" as the industry reports it is largely a fiction: what those league tables measure is gas burned, money that is destroyed rather than routed to anyone. Berachain inverts the model. Rather than paying the security budget entirely to validators, a large share of emissions is directed to the businesses building on the chain, which use it for customer acquisition and financing, and which bid for those emissions in a validator marketplace — fifty or seventy cents on the dollar for incentives that will grow their protocol. That bid is the revenue, and it flows back to token holders with a claim on it. Protocols like Kodiak, the dominant DEX on the network, and lending market Dolomite are the practical expression of it. Greenlane doesn't just hold the asset; it runs validators, stakes into Proof of Liquidity, and lends its stablecoins into DeFi and onto stable pairs to earn trading fees. Jason frames the company as a signal to the market that there is a buyer in size, permanently. He is candid that this is a rough season to be doing any of it. Equities and precious metals have run while crypto has languished, and he catalogues the disconnect with a certain incredulity: DTCC tokenizing assets, Nasdaq experimenting with blockchain settlement, Stripe with its own chain, Druckenmiller predicting all money becomes stablecoins, BlackRock and Franklin Templeton shipping tokenized funds. Headlines that would have detonated the 2021 market barely register now. His read on what breaks the drought is not a narrative but an invisibility: crypto disappearing into the back end of ordinary products, users earning yield or settling in stablecoins without ever knowing it, and several more zeros of participants arriving without wallets. The CLARITY Act sits in the background as the regulatory unlock, still stalled in the Senate. In the hot take round he lands firmly as a multi-chain opportunist, argues that blockchains are a generic public database technology that will proliferate along distribution lines, and picks Curve Finance as his example of the future already being here — narrow, well-defined DAO governance operating at genuine scale, which he thinks is the model everyone else got wrong.

Preventing DAO Governance Attacks + Building a Music DAO and AI Agent Legal Entities (with Zaal / Better Call Zaal)Adam Miller hosts Just DAO It and interviews Zaal (“Better Call Zaal”), founder of the ZAO, an on-chain music community incubator aiming to return profit-margin data and IP rights to independent artists. They discuss BonqDAO's low-turnout governance “apathy attack” and mitigations like security councils, timelocks, and ZAO's illiquid, soulbound “respect” governance tokens with extended voting/veto periods. The episode covers ENS's newly adopted security council, Cardano and Solana governance updates, MetaDAO's ownership coins and futarchy, Lido's restructuring, and Arbitrum revenue sharing. Regulatory news includes the U.S. CLARITY Act ethics dispute and SEC safe-harbor proposals. In AI agent news, Adam critiques early agent hype and highlights emerging legal structures (Marshall Islands, Delaware draft, Bermuda). Zaal explains ZAO's reputation-based governance, Wave Wars live-traded music battles that pay artists, upcoming ZAOstock in Maine, and plans for a community-weighted AI agent (“XOL/Zol Bot”) to manage funds via a legal entity.00:00 Welcome and Introductions01:11 BonqDAO Governance Attack03:11 ZAO Defense Mechanisms04:43 ENS Security Council Update07:10 Governance Rapid Fire11:58 Regulatory CLARITY Act14:17 AI Agent News and Reality Check19:03 Break and MIDAO Guide19:47 Zaal Origin Story21:21 Why Blockchain Matters23:43 Inside the ZAO Respect System25:32 Reputation Voting Challenges30:10 Progress and Community Metrics31:46 Wave Wars Explained35:24 ZAO Festivals and ZAOstock37:06 AI Agent Legal Entity Plans40:01 Where to Find Zaal and Wrap UpContact / Links:Zaal (Farcaster): zaalZaal (X): @bettercallzaalZaal (Email): info@thezao.comWave Wars: https://wavewarz.comAdam (X): @0xthrillerAdam (Farcaster): The ThrillerMIDAO (X): @MIDAODSMIDAO: https://midao.orgAI Agent incorporation guide: https://midao.org/guides
Ever since he first received his first bitcoin in 2013, Joël Valenzuela has been on a quest to use free market electronic cash to pay for everything. Today, he is still unbanked and looking for ways to make instant payments without a bank account. He is best known for working for the DASH cryptocurrency project. But over the years, he's collaborated with plenty of other projects (mostly those related with private payments) and he possesses a wealth of knowledge in terms of adoption, everyday use as money, and user experience. Since Joël practices what he preaches and lives without fiat or banks, he is a bona fide advocate of inconvenience: using ATMs, purchasing gift cards, and trying every workaround that helps him accomplish the mission of never using fiat currencies. 00:00:00 Intro & sponsors: living without banks with Joël Valenzuela 00:02:18 The Vlad Costea handle saga & paying X to keep your name 00:04:20 Where the "Desert Lynx" name actually comes from 00:09:04 Joël's origin story: how Peter Schiff led him to Bitcoin 00:10:16 Growing up on the border & the Mexican peso crisis 00:12:16 First Bitcoin: the Chicago pizza payback of 2013 00:14:27 Silk Road's shutdown & the chaos of the Mt.

In part one, Dr. Liz Bartman and I broke down why PMDD happens: the histamine surges, the GABA receptor glitch, the progesterone metabolite that either calms you down or completely wrecks you depending on your unique biology. If you haven't listened to that one yet, start there, because this episode builds directly on it. Now we get into the part everyone actually wants to know: what do you do about it? We talk about why popular fixes like DAO supplements and strict low histamine diets usually fall short, and what to focus on instead, starting with your gut, your liver, and your nervous system. Dr. Liz walks through her actual clinical protocols, including specific nutrients, herbs, and the EndoAccess formulas she uses with patients who have histamine overload, progesterone sensitivity, or both. We also get into the harder conversations: when a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor might help women who are pushing too much allopregnanolone, what's really going on hormonally for women hitting perimenopause with worsening PMDD, and yes, when birth control or even an SSRI might actually be the safest, most compassionate choice, even for someone who leans natural. Dr. Liz makes a case that will challenge how you think about "first, do no harm." This episode is about giving you an actual roadmap, not just information. Because once you understand your own biology, from part one, you can finally stop guessing and start treating the right thing. In This Episode, We Cover: Why DAO supplements and strict low histamine diets usually don't solve the problem long term The gut, liver, and nervous system focused approach Dr. Liz uses first with patients Key nutrients and antioxidants for calming histamine and neuroinflammation, including glutathione support, sulforaphane, green tea, pomegranate, curcumin, NAC, and glycine Why alcohol is one of the biggest hidden disruptors of histamine clearance and hormone balance Specific probiotic strains, including lactobacillus plantarum, and their surprising role in GABA receptor expression The EndoAccess formulas Dr. Liz uses clinically for histamine support and for progesterone sensitive PMDD, including early results from a small group of patients What 5-alpha reductase inhibition is, how it relates to allopregnanolone, and when it may help Why perimenopausal women can suddenly develop worse PMDD, and the surprising role of testosterone, insulin, and FSH The honest conversation about birth control, newer options, and when it may be the safest choice for severe PMDD Where SSRIs fit in, including luteal phase only dosing and what to support alongside them Why the nervous system piece is the part most women skip, and why it may be the most important one Who This Episode Is For This is for women who now understand why they're struggling, from part one, and want an actual plan. It's for anyone who has tried supplements or progesterone with no luck and felt like they were out of options. It's especially for women in perimenopause noticing their PMDD or PMS getting dramatically worse, and for anyone who has felt conflicted about whether birth control or an SSRI could ever be the "right" choice for them.

We're joined by Paul Dylan-Ennis and Wassim Alsindi, two of crypto's sharpest in-house critics, who arrived at the same place from opposite directions.Paul is a lecturer at University College Dublin, author of Absolute Essentials of Ethereum, an early speculative realist (co-founder of Speculations), and a member of the Silviculture Society, the informal cypherpunk body that keeps check on the Ethereum Foundation.Wassim is a chemical physicist turned record-label operator turned MIT Media Lab researcher, founder of 0x Salon in Berlin, and a self-described "deradicalized Bitcoin maximalist." Hell yeah.We start with Wassim's essay 'Open Swords,' which insists that open source has to die. The utopian horizon of the cypherpunks (Tim May's Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, Eric Hughes' clarion call, Barlow's Declaration) has been repurposed into systems of closure, with Palantir, Anduril, Helsing, and the corporate AI monoliths built on the backs (and skulls) of open source development.We go hard on the idea of the cypherbunk in general, into computational counter-politics, Nick Land's Crypto-Current, and Wassim's critical concept of necro-primitivism (Bitcoin as an indifference engine that cannot care about anything outside its thermoeconomic event horizon, now awaiting its quantum-computing civil war.)References:Wassim Alsindi, "Open Swords" (Akisoma)Timothy C. May, "The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto" (1988)Eric Hughes, "A Cypherpunk's Manifesto" (1993)John Perry Barlow, "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" (1996)Wassim Alsindi, "The Necroprimitivist Manifesto" (2021) & the Indifference Engine projectNick Land, Crypto-Current: Bitcoin and Philosophy (Šum edition)Anna Greenspan, Capitalism's Transcendental Time Machine (2000)Paul Dylan-Ennis, Absolute Essentials of Ethereum (Routledge, 2024)Paul Dylan-Ennis, Continental Realism (Zero Books, 2011)Hannu Rajaniemi, The Quantum Thief (2010)
"Most of the money problems we talk about with Bitcoin — they're not money problems. They're time problems." Scott Dedels — founder of Block Rewards and author of The Age of Time — says the clock is a technology. It was invented about 600 years ago, and somewhere along the way we forgot it was ever invented at all. His claim: the problem of time is upstream of the problem of money. Fiat was downstream of a civilization that had already agreed to be ruled by a machine that only moves forward, in the direction of consumption. We went from asking what is time to only ever asking what time is it. We get into the Prague Orloj and the birth of mechanical time, the 1944 essay that turned time into a commodity, Saturn as civilization's invisible operating system, why we stopped building 300-year cathedrals, AI and the information hyperstream — and Bitcoin as a ten-minute heartbeat no one controls.

El director de informativos de Onda Cero, Julián Cabrera, pone epílogo a una semana en la que se han producido hechos históricos y otros inéditos. Histórico ha sido el fin de la Verja de Gibraltar que daba paso a una nueva etapa entre España y el Peñón. Inéditos han sido las comparecencias ante el juez del DAO, la condena al hermano del presidente Pedro Sánchez y la confirmación del procesamiento a Begoña Gómez.
Cap's founders on shrinking their Stabledrop from $11M to $4M — plus a $23M hack traced toward North Korea, a BarnBridge governance exploit, and Kain's case to force weak L2s to become their own L1s. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors!

Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Cap committed to a roughly 11 million dollar Stabledrop in February, promising early users stablecoins instead of tokens. A delayed token sale raised less than hoped, and the reward shrank to about 4 million, forcing a fast rewrite of who got paid. Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, Founder and CEO of Cap, and Weso of Cap join Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to walk through a restructuring that made yield-token holders whole, left farmers without a windfall, and argue points programs are an uncapped marketing expense many projects cannot afford. The conversation widens into EthSystems, a new Ethereum Foundation spinout backed by Joe Lubin, SharpLink and BitMine, Jesse Pollak handing Base product leadership to Cobie, Robinhood Chain's Morpho integration, and whether Ethereum mainnet undercharges L2s. They revisit BarnBridge's SEC-era DAO structure, a dormant governance exploit, a MetaMask and Revoke.cash delegation tool, and a 23 million dollar Ostium hack Taylor traced toward North Korea. Kain closes with a Three Mile Island analogy: complex systems fail not from one mistake, but from small shortcuts compounding at once.

La actualidad española se centra en dos importantes decisiones judiciales: el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea avala la ley de amnistía, aunque solo en su forma, sin pronunciarse sobre su moralidad o constitucionalidad, dejando su aplicación a los tribunales españoles. Al mismo tiempo, la Audiencia Provincial de Madrid envía a juicio con jurado popular a Begoña Gómez por tráfico de influencias y malversación, destacando el uso de su posición privilegiada como esposa del presidente. El país también afronta una situación crítica por los incendios forestales, con focos activos en Zaragoza, Guadalajara y Madrid que han arrasado miles de hectáreas y provocado desalojos. En el ámbito deportivo, la inminente final del Mundial de fútbol entre España y Argentina genera gran expectación, con detalles sobre los preparativos y las condiciones del partido en Nueva York. Finalmente, el caso de las "cloacas" de la Guardia Civil continúa revelando implicaciones, con el DAO señalando al ...
España disputa la final del Mundial contra Argentina. Lamine Yamal y Pedro Porro están listos. La Familia Real y Pedro Sánchez asisten al partido en Nueva York. Cope ofrece una cobertura especial. Aragón sufre un gran incendio en Ores, con casi 14.000 hectáreas quemadas y aún fuera de control, luchando por proteger Uesía. En Guadalajara, el fuego quema 3.500 hectáreas y provoca evacuaciones. Málaga confina vecinos por humo. Otros incendios en Sevilla y Madrid se controlan o estabilizan. La UCO investiga a Santos Cerdán por un aumento patrimonial de más de 300.000 euros, vinculado a Ábalos en Fomento, y a su esposa por un presunto cobro sin trabajar.

Nick Almond and Proph3t on ENS's treasury fight, the BonkDAO heist, and why Proph3t would not touch Venice's VVV token. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor!

Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Nick Johnson, the founder of ENS Labs, used his own tokens to kill a vote renewing ENS DAO's Security Council, potentially clearing the way for a foundation to take over a treasury worth more than $100 million. Nick Almond, head of governance at the Jito Foundation, and Proph3t, cofounder of MetaDAO, join Laura Shin to untangle what that move reveals about who should control a DAO's money, and whether voting was ever the right way to decide it. They trace ENS cofounder Jeff Lau's warning that the treasury became a honeypot with zero accountability, and the collapsing voter turnout that let a 3% token stake decide the DAO's fate. Proph3t makes the case for MetaDAO's decision markets over voting entirely, while Nick argues curated delegates solve the same capture problem without giving up the vote. They also cover the $20 million BonkDAO heist, pulled off with one proposal and seven votes, and the backlash over Dragonfly's investment in Venice's VVV token. Both guests agree DAOs are near a bottom. What comes next depends on whether anyone tries something new.

La agenda judicial actual se centra en el caso de Begoña Gómez, cuya defensa recurre la decisión de juzgarla con jurado popular y su obligación de devolver el pasaporte. El caso Cloacas avanza con la comparecencia del primer abogado de Ábalos y el ex número dos de la Fiscalía General del Estado, Diego Villafañe, por sus reuniones con Leire Díez. También declaran como imputados la abogada de Koldo García por intento de soborno y la directora general de la Guardia Civil, Mercedes González, junto al DAO, Manuel Llamas, por reuniones con Leire Díez y expedientes a la UCO, lo que genera un gran daño institucional. Un segundo tema principal es el elevado absentismo laboral en España, que afecta al 9% de los trabajadores y representa un gasto anual de 30.000 millones de euros. José Antonio Garamendi, presidente de la CEOE, destaca la necesidad de distinguir las bajas justificadas de las fraudulentas, critica la sanidad pública por los retrasos y el aumento de bajas por salud mental, y aboga ...

Austin Griffith joins Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to unpack BonkDAO's $20M governance heist, and Kain's case for giving founders more control. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors!

Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== A single wallet spent $4.4 million buying up Bonk tokens, then used that stake to push through a governance proposal that legally emptied BonkDAO's roughly $20 million treasury a week later, with almost no one watching the vote. Austin Griffith, Ethereum Foundation developer and creator of Scaffold-ETH and founder of BuidlGuidl, joins Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to use the heist as a jumping-off point for Kain's real target: ENS. Kain argues founder Nick Johnson should retake control over building and product from the DAO, and makes the case that founder-led execution beats decentralized governance almost every time. They also cover Vitalik's Lean Ethereum overhaul and why Austin says it will barely change what he builds, the $1 AI audit he launched as a meme for x402 agent payments, Robinhood's new chain and the pay-to-play deals behind it, and why Kain now argues tokens are the wrong way to raise money. If a founder with total conviction can outperform a DAO built to stop exactly that, the DAO experiment may be further from finished than anyone wants to admit.

In this episode, I sit down with Marko, Co-founder of Tapir Protocol, to break down one of the most underappreciated risks in DeFi , depegging. We dig into how stablecoins and yield-bearing assets can lose their peg, what the real financial damage looks like (spoiler: up to $3.3 billion in losses between 2020 and 2025), and how Tapir is building a smarter, fully automatic, non-custodial solution to protect investors without sacrificing yield or capital efficiency. Marko walks me through how Tapir splits a single asset into a depeg-protected version and a yield-boosted version, letting the market price the risk rather than a committee deciding your claim. Whether you manage a treasury, run a fund, or just want safer DeFi yields, this conversation is packed with practical insight.

As acupuncture and Chinese medicine face regulatory pressure and institutional change on both sides of the Atlantic, many practitioners are asking what it takes to preserve the tradition while still being taken seriously as medical professionals.In this conversation, we visit with Alex Jacobs, CEO of the British Acupuncture Council, we explore the relationship between tradition and regulation, and how this balance shapes education standards, professional identity, and public trust in the medicine.We also discuss the value of holding contradiction in clinical practice, the difference between the "disciple" and the "heretic" as two complementary ways of learning, and the deeper role of listening and the heart in diagnosis.Listen in for a discussion on regulation, lineage, and mastery, and staying rooted in the Dao of the medicine while navigating the demands of practicing it today.
This episode is for ambitious, health-driven people who want to optimize their body from the inside out and it makes the case that the most radical thing you can do for your brain, mood, and longevity isn't another nootropic or longevity supplement: it's fixing your gut. The science applies to anyone, but the framing throughout is high performers who feel "off" despite doing everything right.Did you know that over 90% of your serotonin, much of your dopamine and GABA, and the BDNF that builds your neurons are stimulated in your gut and that a broken gut is, quite literally, a broken brain? In this episode, Andres sits down in person with Nathaly Marcus clinical nutritionist, functional-medicine pioneer, founder of the Bienesta functional medicine center, and author of Sano, salvaje y sabio (Healthy, Wild, and Wise) for a deep, practical masterclass on the gut microbiome, postbiotics, and the nervous system underneath it all.Drawing on her own journey from three-and-a-half years of post-surgical pain, burnout, and "never enough" perfectionism to a philosophy of self-love, rituals over habits, and healing from gentleness instead of fear, Nathaly breaks down the 5 R's of functional medicine (starting with remove), why Akkermansia and butyrate are the quiet heroes of gut repair, and how postbiotics act as the "tools" your microbiome builds to talk to your brain, mitochondria, and hormones. She and Andres go deep on leaky gut and autoimmunity, SIBO and stress, the histamine surge more and more people are experiencing, and the longevity pathways FOXO, Klotho, Nrf2 you can switch on through epinutrients and smart discomfort.Key Topics Discussed:A Broken Gut Is a Broken Brain: Why the gut is the most important "agent of wisdom" in the body, and how inflammation there shows up as brain fog, anxiety, and low mood.Postbiotics Explained: The artisan-and-tools (and garden) metaphor why postbiotics, not just probiotics, are the molecules that rebuild your gut lining, mitochondria, and brain.Akkermansia & Butyrate: How this keystone bacteria feeds on mucin and polyphenols, why fasting lets the strongest species survive, and how butyrate lowers inflammation and lifts depression.Leaky Gut & Autoimmunity: The zonulin story, what a GI Map reveals (IgA, calprotectin, gluten antibodies), and why Nathaly argues most autoimmune disease Hashimoto's, lupus, psoriasis, even Parkinson's begins in the gut.SIBO, Stress & Digestion: How survival mode lowers betaine and stomach acid, feeds bacterial overgrowth, and wrecks absorption and why probiotics can sometimes make it worse.Histamine Intolerance: Why so many people are suddenly reacting to coffee, leftovers, and sulfur-rich foods, the role of the DAO enzyme, and the SIBO and food-diversity roots underneath it.Food Diversity Over Repetition: Why "marrying" one food every day drives sensitivities and inflammation, and how rotating protein, produce, and ferments restores biodiversity.Fiber as the Forgotten Pillar: Why half your plate should be fiber, how to build to ~30g a day without bloating, and the inulin, pectin, resistant starch, and green-juice tactics to get there.Longevity Pathways You Can Switch On: FOXO, Klotho, Nrf2, AMPK and sirtuins and the epinutrients (rhodiola, curcumin, cacao, astaxanthin, sulforaphane, omega-3, PC) plus hormesis that activate them.Nervous System, Trauma & "I Am Enough": Why "I am safe and I am secure" is the foundational mantra, why motivation from fear leads to self-sabotage, and how rituals done from love not guilt become longevity.Actionable Tips:Start Your Day for Your Gut: Warm water with lemon and a little apple cider vinegar to stimulate digestive fire, then chia, flax, and a splash of olive oil to feed the gut lining a cleaner, lead-free alternative to psyllium.Rebuild Before You Add: Remove first (foods, toxins, disruptors, and toxic relationships), repair with glutamine, butyrate, and aloe, then reintroduce ferments slowly a "tequila shot" of rotating kefir, not a jar of sauerkraut.Feed Your Postbiotics: Prioritize polyphenols and prebiotics pomegranate, red/purple pigments, artichoke, asparagus, leek, onions, olive oil, and green tea to stimulate Akkermansia and butyrate.Make a Rotating Green Juice: Greens plus a detox herb (cilantro/coriander, parsley) and a daily-rotated polyphenol powder (pomegranate, maqui, açai) instead of overpriced all-in-one greens powders.Eat for Diversity, Not Efficiency: Rotate proteins, produce, seeds, and ferments through the week even "healthy" foods repeated daily can drive sensitivities and inflammation.Mind the State You Eat In: Be present, chew thoroughly, don't drink water with meals (sip between them), and drop into rest-and-digest first because how you eat changes how your body absorbs it.Do Hard Things on Purpose: Use temporary, intelligent discomfort sauna, cold, fasting, hard training to switch on FOXO, Klotho, Nrf2 and build a body that adapts to stress instead of breaking under it.Test, Don't Guess: Get a GI Map and food-sensitivity testing before assuming the problem is willpower or mindset find your personal bottlenecks first.
Nick Johnson's ENS vote sparked days of backlash.

Some users on X have since cast him as the villain seizing a $130 million treasury. ENS co-founders Nick Johnson and Alex Van de Sande join Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to untangle what the vote means, and to defend a new proposal handing day-to-day treasury and protocol decisions to a foundation instead of the DAO. They trace how ENS's governance fight mirrors Aave's, why its treasury has trailed a savings account, why Johnson never trusted ETH-weighted voting, and why his conviction in token governance has weakened. The conversation lands on the question hanging over every well-funded DAO: once a protocol accumulates enough money to matter, can any voting mechanism decide who controls it?

In this episode Dr. Jockers explains the truth about histamine intolerance and how it connects to allergies, headaches, rashes, and chronic inflammation. You will learn why histamine is an essential immune and nervous system messenger that becomes problematic when the body can't clear it efficiently. This episode explores the early warning signs and what they actually mean for your health. You will discover how histamine overload develops when gut health, liver function, and key enzymes like DAO and HNMT are compromised. The discussion breaks down why common symptoms like fatigue, hives, migraines, and skin reactions often trace back to this imbalance. You will also understand how internal stressors amplify histamine response in ways most people overlook. You will also learn the hidden drivers behind histamine intolerance including gut infections, nutrient deficiencies, and everyday medications that interfere with detox pathways. Dr. Jockers outlines how food choices, stress, and environmental exposures all contribute to the overall histamine load. You will come away with a clearer understanding of how to restore balance and support long-term resilience.
