A recession is defined by negative economic activity over several months with an accompanying decline in GDP. However, given the actual makeup of GDP, it is inaccurate to directly tie recessions to GDP at all.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-recessions-are-not-about-declining-gdp

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Emily Paul, a member of my High Achievers year-long coaching group. We explored the concept of alchemy—what it really means and why it's essential for entrepreneurs. Emily shares how she helps high-achieving individuals dissolve old patterns, tap into deeper intuition, and reconnect with their authentic selves through the transformative power of alchemy. She also explains how her work goes beyond traditional coaching, why energy healing can be just as powerful remotely, and why now is the time for changemakers to fully embrace their brilliance. This episode is for anyone ready to begin their journey to true freedom and step into who they were meant to be. Rather than letting health challenges, diagnosis, and perceived expectations from others define who she is, from an early age Emily committed to blazing her own path including:   ● Completing her senior year of high school in the Iowa town where she lived while her parents and two younger siblings moved a seven hour drive north... ● Declining a teaching career in her early twenties to instead follow her heart and passion and move to an island in the Caribbean to pursue a path of humanitarian service... ● Realizing why she'd been dying her hair for a decade did not reflect her true self, she chose to gray naturally at age 35.   Emily revels in the sacred space beyond what we've experienced or been led to believe is our truth… The potency of Emily's work lies in decades of her own dedicated self-cultivation and the mastery with which she walks clients through their own internal maze to access latent energy and wisdom. Daoist-infused Alchemy is one means she uses to ignite profound and lasting transformation. Customized integrative coaching/mentoring, ceremony and group facilitation are further means she engages to invoke newfound freedom for her clients. With a Master's of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University and a Women and Gender Studies -BA- from Macalester College, Emily has sought out teachers, mentors, and healers - both within the United States and internationally - who have guided her exploration of meditation, mindfulness- based practices, coaching/mentoring, leadership development, somatic acuity, energetic healing, and perennial wisdom for well over twenty-five years. All Services and Programs are geared toward personal transformation and cultivating calm confidence in order to show up in an unprecedented way AND find fun in playing a bigger game with life.

Ever notice how that familiar routine you once loved suddenly feels like a prison? That's exactly what hit me this week as I found myself sweating in my garage, recording this episode while contemplating one of life's hardest truths: I've outgrown my comfort zone.After 13 years of entertaining crowds at Bentley Saloon's bike week—hosting pinup contests, DJing events, and building my brand—I faced an uncomfortable realization. What once felt like my safety net had transformed into a source of restlessness and anxiety. Despite the amazing memories, loyal customers, and friendships formed (including meeting my daughter's godparents!), something had shifted. That nagging feeling of boredom wasn't just fatigue; it was my inner voice screaming that it's time for change.The signs were everywhere. Declining attendance at motorcycle events mirrored my declining enthusiasm. I was stepping over dollars to pick up dimes, clinging to guaranteed income while missing bigger opportunities. My loyalty to familiar routines had become chains rather than support. This episode breaks down the telltale signs you've outgrown your comfort zone: boredom with once-loved activities, stagnation in skill development, fear of trying new things, and that strange anxiety that creeps in during familiar situations.Making this decision wasn't easy. Leaving behind guaranteed events means stepping into uncertainty. But growth demands discomfort. As I shared the vendor confrontation that ended with my now-infamous line "You want to help me? Get the f*ck out of my tent," I realized something profound—I'm ready for new challenges, new stages, and new opportunities to serve my business and family better.What security blankets are you clutching that might actually be holding you back? Remember, feeling restless about once-beloved activities isn't failure—it's evolution. Your potential exceeds your current circumstances, but only if you're brave enough to step into the unknown.

A sudden dip in revenue can feel like a punch to the gut, especially when it comes out of nowhere. But before you scramble to cut costs or overhaul your front desk, you need to ask a critical question: Where did this drop actually come from?  In this episode, Zed breaks down how most practices misread financial data, why reacting to last month's numbers can lead to the wrong decisions, and how to trace today's cash flow back to the real root cause, often occurring months ago. If your income just took a hit, this is the clarity you need before you make your next move.

Did you know your fertility could be declining due to something deeper than hormone levels or age? In this solo episode, I explore a powerful yet often overlooked aspect of reproductive health through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Kidney Qi. In TCM, the kidneys are not just responsible for filtering blood—they are the energetic source of your reproductive potential. I unpack how Kidney Jing (essence), Yin and Yang imbalances, and pre-heaven vs. post-heaven Qi all influence egg and sperm quality, libido, menstrual health, and even your nervous system. You'll learn how to recognise the signs of weakened Kidney Qi and discover lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset shifts to nourish this vital essence naturally. This episode is packed with practical tips and ancient wisdom to help you reverse the hidden energetic causes of declining fertility and move forward with more confidence and vitality. Key Takeaways: In Chinese medicine, fertility is rooted in Kidney Jing, the essence we inherit from our parents and support throughout life. Signs of depleted Kidney Qi can include fatigue, night sweats, low libido, shortened cycles, delayed ovulation, and emotional anxiety. Anti-aging and egg/sperm quality are closely tied to mitochondrial health, which reflects the state of your Kidney Qi. Lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, nutrition, and warmth (especially around your lower back and feet) can significantly boost reproductive vitality. Foods that nourish Kidney Jing include bone broth, goji berries, black sesame seeds, walnuts, seaweed, dark leafy greens, and cooked foods over raw. Practices like acupuncture, meditation, and even visualization can support Kidney Qi and overall reproductive wellness.     For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com Grab your copy of my Be Calmm ebook—a mind-body guide to creating a fertility-friendly nervous system https://www.michelleoravitz.com/be-calmm  To learn more about ancient wisdom and fertility, you can get Michelle's book at: https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility  The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/  Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/ Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

“It's a long-term story,” David McAlvany says of gold, and it's still going even as the metal pulls back from all-time highs. He compares buying gold futures to buying gold mining companies, and why investors might be interested in each. He says Bitcoin is “clearly not a safe-haven asset” and he thinks companies with it on the balance sheet could be in trouble if the market falls. For crude oil, he argues, “supply is the fulcrum” for price – and we have to look back to the Middle East as shale production falls into decline.

In this episode, Jason, Matt, and Don sit down with Matt Cormier, the researcher and creator behind HealthUncensored.com, a platform dedicated to exposing the hidden forces undermining public health — from metabolic decline and environmental toxins to medical censorship and institutional fraud. We dive deep into Matt's current focus: the global drop in average human body temperature and what it signals about our collective health. Matt explains why this subtle shift could be a canary in the coal mine for immune dysfunction, metabolic disease, and widespread hormonal collapse — and why it's not being discussed. The conversation expands into the root causes behind this trend, including ultra-processed food, toxic plastics, pharmaceutical overload, and a rigged medical establishment that would rather normalize dysfunction than fix it. We also discuss Matt's efforts to publish a powerful study on autism and the connection between body temperature and cognitive function. To wrap it all up, we ask Matt how humanity can “get hot again” — leaving listeners with a call to action and a hopeful reminder that awareness is the first step toward healing.

In this episode of The Pulling Curls Podcast, Hilary welcomes certified nurse midwife Juli Pyle to dive into the topic of informed consent in labor and delivery. Together, they break down what informed consent really means, the key components every patient should know, and how it plays out during childbirth. Juli and Hilary share personal stories from both sides—provider and patient—highlighting why these conversations matter and how they can empower you to make the best choices for your birth experience. Whether you're planning your first delivery or looking to better understand your options, this episode provides practical tips for having more effective, respectful discussions with your care team. Big thanks to our sponsor The Online Prenatal Class for Couples -- if you want to learn to communicate better, it is the class for you! Today's guest is Today's guest is Juli Pyle (she/her) a certified nurse midwife who practices at a community hospital in rural Pennsylvania. Juli was a stay at mom for many years to five children before deciding to return to school to pursue a degree in nursing. She graduated from Colorado Mesa University with a bachelors of science in nursing degree in 2016 and then began her nursing career as a labor and delivery nurse. She quickly discovered that this was her true passion (as she had suspected since having her own children) and quickly gained a reputation for professionalism, compassion and expertise among colleagues and patients. She then returned to Frontier Nursing University to complete a Master's degree in Nursing with an emphasis in midwifery. In 2020, she graduated and began as a certified nurse-midwife at a small community hospital in central Pennsylvania where she has been since that time. Her focus as a CNM is to provide evidence-based education to all birthing families, give true autonomy and informed consent throughout their time with her and to share love, understanding, empathy and true shared-decision making. When not immersed in the birthing world, she enjoys spending time refinishing furniture, gardening, raising and breeding different types of chickens, hiking and vacationing with her family.

There are five main components of informed consent: patient understanding, absence of coercion, full disclosure of risks/benefits/alternatives, the right to decline, and documentation of the discussion. Time pressure, provider biases, and regional/cultural differences often affect how effectively informed consent is communicated in hospitals. Patients are encouraged to ask, at any point, for the risks, benefits, and alternatives to a procedure—it's their right, even for routine interventions. Some medical staff may overwhelm patients with information, while others may inadvertently minimize discussion; finding the right balance to suit each patient is key. Regional culture, age, language, and personal preference play huge roles in how much information patients want or are comfortable with during labor and delivery. Informed consent isn't just for major decisions like C-sections or epidurals—it can and should apply to things like cervical exams and labor positions, even in less formal, conversational ways. Declining a recommended intervention (e.g., breaking water, episiotomy, induction) is absolutely an option for patients, and the birth experience should support their decision, barring emergency situations. The benefits of midwifery care are highlighted, including a more holistic and consistent approach to informed consent and labor support, but ultimately provider style matters more than title. Good communication and shared decision-making between providers and patients help prevent birth trauma and litigation, reinforcing the importance of patients feeling informed and respected during their birth experience.

According to new data from the United Nations, fertility rates are on the decline and families are getting smaller. The cost of living, job insecurity and housing costs are among the main factors preventing families from having as many kids as they would have wanted, new reports claim. Massey University sociologist Paul Spoonley says women are also getting more educated and have more of a role in the workforce - and that's another factor. "Women are having children much later in life - and so as we see that first child, the age of the woman for the first child is creeping up."

An episode from The Holistic Navigator. This is not to diagnosis or treat any disease/illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! It's a touchy, sometimes awkward subject. Declining libido and male sexual performance are problems that can hit anyone at any age. Yes, these typically decline as we age, but waning sex drive can affect the young, overworked, and stressed individual as well. On this week's episode, we speak about the possible causes of low libido and and some practical solutions. As always, we believe in not just treating the outward symptom, but the underlying systemic issue producing the symptom. We discuss pharmaceutical and natural options, new emerging treatments, and methods to lower stress and improve your emotional state. Some Topics We Discussed: What causes low libido and why is it so common? (1:17) Are there any supplements we can take to help with low libido? (8:01) How does your emotional state impact libido? (10:34) What is the natural approach to dealing with less than optimal sexual performance? (13:09) What are healthy testosterone levels? (29:04) Key Takeaways From This Episode: Low libido is almost always a multi-faceted issue that requires a much more holistic approach. (2:43) The more common issue with men is not low testosterone but elevating estrogen. (4:17) The key to enhancing performance is improving nitric oxide levels.

Your body is wise—long before fertility issues show up on standard bloodwork, it's whispering to you. The problem is… traditional medicine isn't trained to hear it. In this powerful and deeply educational podcast episode, I'm sharing the 7 hidden signs your fertility is declining—and exactly how to reverse them using natural, evidence-based strategies.As a fertility specialist with nearly two decades of experience, I've helped hundreds of women uncover the real reasons they weren't conceiving—issues missed by conventional tests. From hormonal imbalance to metabolic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and environmental toxicity, your body is often in survival mode, not baby mode.

It was one of the most shocking moments of the 2024 presidential campaign. President Joe Biden, at times appearing incoherent and confused, effectively ended his hopes of reelection as he stumbled through a debate against rival Donald Trump. It marked the beginning of the end of his campaign. He was ultimately replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris - a last-minute switch that failed to deliver the Democratic Party the White House. To many voters, it was a shocking turn of events. But, as a new book argues, for White House and Biden family insiders, it was the public exposure of a secret they had long been trying to keep. Publicly, Biden's team have refuted claims that he was unfit for reelection, insisting that “he was a very effective president.” But the question remains: did Team Biden cover up his declining health? In an interview that was recorded before the announcement of Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis this weekend, Matt Frei speaks to CNN anchor Jake Tapper about his explosive new book, Original Sin, which examines the former president's apparent cognitive decline and includes testimony from White House insiders who claim there was a deliberate “cover-up” to keep the truth from the American people.

Miranda Devine, Fox News Contributor, New York Post columnist, and author of THE BIG GUY: How a President and His Son Sold Out America, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to the stunning decision by the Episcopalian Church to reject white refugees fleeing race-based violence in South Africa. Devine questioned the morality of judging whether killings are a "genocide" depending on the race that is being killed, especially given the context of other genocides happening across Africa.

Even during shows where it's not the topic, the changing demographics of the United States continually get mentioned. The U.S. birthrate has been declining, and this decline is not even exclusive to the United States. As far as the United States is concerned, why do you think the birthrate is declining, why are people not having as many kids as they used to, if at all?

More than two years after the pandemic-era Medicaid continuous enrollment provision ended, millions of eligible patients are without coverage, creating a crisis for hospitals and healthcare systems that rely on Medicaid reimbursement dollars. Adding to the strain on providers, Medicare physician payments have been cut for the fifth consecutive year. Compounding these challenges, the number of patients presenting as self-pay or on high-deductible health plans (HDHP) continues to grow. Uninsured, self-pay, and high-deductible patients take longer to pay — if they pay — and have a higher risk of write-off. What can providers do to protect their financial health? Listen to the podcast to hear RCM optimization experts discuss five proven tips for improving revenue capture, even in the most challenging of times. Providers will learn how to optimize reimbursement, reduce administrative burden, and improve the patient's financial experience. This episode is sponsored by ZOLL.

Declining fertility rates across the globe have been in the news lately.  Peter notes that the Amish have a high fertility rate, that rate isn't dropping, and they pair this with an upbringing and coming-of-age ritual (Rumspringa) which results in a very high religious retention rate (those born Amish tend to stay Amish).  How do they do this?  Is this good?  If it is good, is there anything the rest of us can learn from the Amish? 

In this episode I explain why I believe the ongoing population decline we're already seeing in many parts of the world will create upward pricing pressure on dividend-paying stocks, and why that could be a long-term tailwind for income-focused investors.

In its ongoing mission to shrink the federal government, the Trump administration has cut more than a thousand jobs and billions in research grants from America's crown jewel of medical research - the National Institutes of Health. While other administrations have tried to downsize the NIH before, leaked Trump administration documents show plans to reduce the NIH budget by more than 40 percent, sending shockwaves throughout the scientific community. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi sits down with the former director of the NIH, Dr. Francis Collins, as well as a researcher and an NIH insider who all say these measures could jeopardize the health of Americans for generations to come. Evidence has emerged that could change our understanding of the 9/11 terrorist attacks more than two decades ago. A 60 Minutes investigation has found that crucial information, initially turned over to the FBI shortly after the attacks, was never shared with the bureau's own field agents or senior intelligence officials. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports on this evidence, which has come to light amid a lawsuit against the Saudi government filed by families of the nearly 3,000 victims and includes a video of a Saudi national filming the U.S. Capitol, thought to be al-Qaeda's fourth target. The world's population may have recently surpassed eight billion, but it's a misleading figure. Growth is unevenly distributed, and many countries are experiencing a decline in population—in some cases, steeply. Consider Japan. The country with the fourth largest economy is now facing a rapidly declining birth rate, and a population projected to shrink in half by this century's end. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports from Japan, examining how these demographic changes are affecting the country and its culture.
