Podcasts about Deficit

We talk a lot about what our students can't do. But something that educators have found over the years is that there is a scatter to the skills we see in our students. The wildly uneven profile that we see could actually be a blessing. Mark Talaga, counselor, speaker, and founder of the Center for Identity Potential, joins the podcast to talk about asynchronous development in gifted and twice-exceptional learners. And here's what hit me: we're working the same problem from opposite ends. Where there is a sharp strength, there is often a significant deficit, but the opposite is true as well! This conversation got under my skin in the best way. Tune in to this episode to learn:   What "asynchrony" actually means in gifted and disabled learners  Why IQ tests fail kids on both ends of the bell curve  Why labels are meaningless in education  Why nurturing a spike / sharp interest (even if it seems "irrelevant") is critical.

How you train during a Fat Loss Phase determines whether you finish the diet leaner and more defined or just smaller and softer. But the conversation around how to actually train during a deficit has become one of the most polarized debates in the evidence-based fitness space.One camp says you should proactively reduce training volume the moment you enter a deficit because recovery is compromised and you need to focus on the minimum stimulus required to maintain muscle. Another camp says you should increase training volume to offset the catabolic environment of a deficit and use training as an additional energy expenditure tool. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Eric Helms to break this debate down piece by piece. We interrogate the research each camp leans on, talk about where it holds up and where it falls apart when applied to intermediate to advanced trainees. HERE'S WHAT WE COVER:THE TWO CAMPS DOMINATING THE TRAINING IN A DEFICIT CONVERSATIONWHY THE TRAIN LESS POSITION HAS LEGITIMATE PHYSIOLOGY BEHIND IT BUT GETS MISAPPLIEDTHE BICKEL 2011 PAPER AND WHY IT GETS PULLED INTO THIS DEBATE INCORRECTLYWHY MAINTENANCE TRAINING IN ENERGY BALANCE IS NOT THE SAME AS MAINTENANCE TRAINING IN A DEFICITTHE TRAIN MORE CAMP'S CASE AND WHERE THE LOGIC BREAKS DOWNTHE ROTH 2022 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY SHOWSWHY THE THRESHOLD TO MAINTAIN MUSCLE MAY GO UP AS WE BECOME MORE ADVANCED HOW ERIC'S 2023 AND 2025 PREPS SHAPED HIS THINKING ON TRAINING DURING CONTEST PREPTHE COACHING FRAMEWORK FOR ADJUSTING TRAINING REACTIVELY RATHER THAN PROACTIVELY DURING A CUTIf you've ever cut volume the moment you entered a deficit because you assumed your body couldn't handle the load, if you've ever cranked up training volume in a cut to try to drive more output, or if you've finished a Fat Loss Phase feeling smaller but not leaner and wondered what your training should have actually looked like, this episode will give you the framework to approach your next cut with clarity rather than guesswork.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comMy Reading Recommendations:THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDShttps://getdpd.com/cart/hoplink/25469?referrer=1l54og96lf1ccw

À l'approche de la préparation du budget 2027, les tensions s'accumulent autour des finances publiques françaises. Entre les demandes de dépenses supplémentaires des ministères, l'augmentation mécanique des dépenses de retraite, de santé et de défense, ainsi qu'un déficit qui pourrait dépasser 6 % du PIB, les marges de manœuvre semblent de plus en plus réduites. Le gouvernement pourra-t-il tenir sa promesse de ne pas augmenter les impôts ou devra-t-il faire des choix difficiles dans les prochains mois ?

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!Building muscle in a deficit is one of the most misunderstood topics in fitness. So in today's episode, I break down the common mistakes people make when thinking about muscle growth in a deficit, what actually determines your muscle growth potential, and the key inputs that will make or break your results.I also explain why training intensity and volume matter so much, how protein and carbohydrate intake should be approached, why sleep and stress load management play a bigger role than most people think, and how to use cardio and steps without overdoing it. So if you've been trying to build muscle while losing fat, want to stop spinning your wheels in a deficit, or just want a more practical and strategic approach to body recomposition, this episode is a must-listen.Let's talk about:Why Building Muscle In A Deficit Is Tough Common Mistakes & Thought Processes What Determines Muscle Growth Potential Body Fat's Role In Muscle Growth Potential How Current Muscle Mass Affects Potential How Deficit Size Impacts Muscle Growth Potential The Key Inputs That Matter Lifting & Training Volume Spreading The Stimulus Throughout The Week Protein Intake Spreading Protein Across Feedings Carbohydrates Nutrition Around Workouts Sleep & Circadian Rhythm Stress Load Management Cardio & Steps Supplements Summary & TakeawaysFollow me on Instagram for more information and education: https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=enHow You Can Work With Me?: https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/Coaching application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfE-99wLDZRXlOOY1pWuAmkogdZOm-7ZvN_thbqNWLdNrj5bg/viewformBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a

6-11-26 Knicks pull off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history, taking Game 4 by overcoming a 29-point deficit

Eric Girard, Minister of Finance spoke with Sue Smith, in for Aaron Rand Image: THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot

Your body needs about 12 grams of glycine daily just for collagen synthesis, but can only make about 3 grams and gets 2 to 4 grams from a typical diet, leaving a notable 10-gram daily deficit in many adults This deficit isn't a disease. It's an evolutionary constraint built into human biochemistry. Our glycine synthesis pathway has a hard stoichiometric bottleneck that can never be overcome, regardless of how healthy you are Collagen makes up 25% to 30% of your total body protein, but its production is limited by glycine, which occupies every third position in the collagen chain. The procollagen quality control cycle destroys 30% to 50% of newly synthesized collagen, and some amino acids lost in this process cannot be fully recycled Over time, chronic glycine deficiency may contribute to changes in skin, joints, bones, gut lining, blood vessels, and sleep quality. Glycine deficiency has been observed across a range of conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, pregnancy, and xenobiotic exposure A 2025 meta-analysis reported that collagen peptide supplementation was associated with improvements in bone and muscle health markers in the populations studied, consistent with the idea that glycine availability may have functional implications

This week I’m getting into what’s actually happening to your body during prep at a hormonal and metabolic level — without turning it into a physiology lecture. Leptin, cortisol, thyroid function, metabolic adaptation — these aren’t abstract concepts, they’re the reason you feel the way you feel at six weeks out, and understanding what’s driving those changes makes the experience less alarming and the decisions easier. I’ll keep it accessible but give you enough depth to actually understand what your body is doing and why. Then I’m talking about something I’m navigating in real time right now — running a full coaching business while being an athlete in my own prep. What the dual identity actually costs, how I’m managing it, and the strategy I’m using right now that’s working — staying deliberately busier than usual as a distraction tool to keep my head out of the hunger and in the work. I’ll also be honest about the fact that this approach has an expiration date, and what the pivot looks like when it stops working.

So we know we need a calorie deficit to lose weight.We also know that you can make any food fit and still lose weight if the calories are correctly controlled.But should you? Just because you can do?That is the question not many ask and one that provides an additional layer of context to a commonly overly simplified area of nutrition. In this episode, I explain the nuance of flexible dieting and making any foods fit, with a consideration for the bigger nutrition picture. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

In this fascinating episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Fernando Naclerio, Professor in Strength Training and Sports Nutrition at the University of Greenwich and Centre Lead for the Centre for Exercise Activity and Rehabilitation. Vanessa and Dr. Naclerio dive into a brand new meta-analysis comparing higher-carb and lower-carb diets when calories and protein are matched. While both approaches improved body composition, the low-carb diets produced greater reductions in fat mass, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and triglycerides, along with increases in HDL. This conversation explores why not all weight loss is fat loss — and why consuming too many carbohydrates during a calorie deficit may, in certain conditions, shift the body toward burning more lean mass instead of body fat. They also discuss how to structure protein, carbohydrates, and fats for better body composition, why carbohydrate tolerance depends on activity level, the importance of resistance training, keto adaptation, meal timing, fasting, protein distribution, and why protecting muscle should be the priority during fat loss.

Led By Brunson and KAT, the Knicks shook off the rust and erased a 14 point 3rd quarter deficit and used a bit of Brunson magic to take Game 1 of the NBA Finals 105-95.  This is the Knicks' 12th straight playoff victory!The Knicks didn't win Game 1 with a perfect box score, they won it with backbone. After looking rusty, missing shots, and falling behind by 14 in the third quarter, we watched New York flip the night in San Antonio with defense, composure, and the kind of closing execution that wins championships.I break down the swing moments, starting with how Jalen Brunson turned a rough shooting night into another clutch masterclass, drilling the shots that matter most in the final minutes. But we also make the case that Karl-Anthony Towns was the engine of the comeback, steadying the offense, cleaning the glass, and playing smart positional defense while staying out of foul trouble. That last part is a huge NBA Finals storyline, especially with Mitchell Robinson battling a finger injury and the rotation needing stability.I also dig into the chess match against the Spurs, including how the Knicks defended Victor Wembanyama, why transition defense tightened up late, and what needs to improve if San Antonio's elite defense keeps squeezing the half-court offense. Plus: Josh Hart's ice-cold scoring paired with monster rebounding, OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges delivering late free throws, and the bizarre fan-on-court interruption that could've wrecked momentum but didn't. The Knicks are now riding a 12-game playoff win streak, and Game 2 suddenly feels massive.Subscribe for more Knicks and NBA playoff breakdowns, share this with a fellow fan, and leave a review with your take: who was your MVP of Game 1?Send fan mailJersey Guy Sports is available on all podcasting platforms. Listen on SpotifyListen on Apple Podcasts Listen on YouTubeListen on PocketCastsListen on iHeart RadioListen on Amazon MusicListen on TuneIn and AlexaListen on other podcasting platforms hereSocials Facebook, JGS Twitter, Threads, Youtub...

What happens when a generation grows up more connected to screens than to the natural world? In this episode, Will sits down with outdoor educator and Wildward Institute founder Scott Shepherd to explore the growing disconnect between young people, nature, and one another. Drawing from more than 15 years of experience in outdoor, environmental, and experiential education, Scott explains why time outside is no longer just recreation—it has become an essential component of mental health, emotional regulation, resilience, and healthy youth development. Scott shares his own transformative journey sailing around the world as a teenager, discusses the challenges facing outdoor education today, and examines how screens, overprogrammed childhoods, and reduced opportunities for unstructured play are impacting young people. Together, Will and Scott explore the role of nature in supporting neurodiverse youth, building self-confidence, fostering environmental stewardship, and helping young people develop the skills they need to thrive in an uncertain future. This conversation is a powerful reminder that connecting youth to the outdoors may be one of the most important mental health interventions of our time. Here is the Wilderward Institute Website. This podcast is supported by White Mountain Adventure Institute (wmai.org), offering adventure inspired retreats and coaching for men and facilitated by Will White.

A quick reminder that behavior problems are not always “won't do” problems. Sometimes they're “can't do yet” problems. In this Misfit Minute, Caitlin breaks down why consequences alone don't teach skills like waiting, emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, or communication, and why practicing coping skills during calm moments matters so much.Key Takeaways• You can't punish a skill deficit away—Consequences alone don't teach missing skills• Behavior often communicates missing abilities—Difficulty waiting, coping, or communicating may be skill deficits• Replacement behaviors must be taught—Students need to learn what to do instead• Practice during calm moments matters most—Skills are harder to learn when already escalated• Reinforce progress, not perfection—Growth happens through repetition and support• Shift from “defiance” to information—Repeated behavior may signal a need for more teaching and practice• Long-term behavior change requires instruction—Not just reacting after the behavior happensResources• Need support teaching replacement behaviors and coping skills?

The Sacramento Public Library Authority Board of Directors met on May 28, 2026, to discuss the upcoming fiscal year budget, major challenges in library collection services, and several community milestones.   Friends of the Sacramento Public Library Update   Devon Graves, Vice President of the Friends of the library, reported a highly successful Big Day of Giving, which raised approximately $120,000, significantly exceeding the original $85,000 goal. He also highlighted the success of the "Booked-in" facility, which serves as a community hub for students and seniors. An "All Friends" meeting is scheduled for June 28, 2026, at the Carmichael Library.   Collection Services and Vendor Crisis   Michelle Gordon Hartman, Collection Services Department Manager, provided a "pull back the curtain" look at the massive administrative challenges caused by the sudden closure of Baker & Taylor, formerly the library's primary book vendor. Logistical Chaos: The library had to cancel and reorder tens of thousands of items and quickly onboard new vendors like Brodart and Ingram to ensure opening day collections for new branches were not delayed. Processing Complexity: The board learned about the intensive labor required for every item, including assigning call numbers, applying RFID tags, and creating complex bibliographic records. Digital Trends: Digital circulation is growing rapidly and is expected to break 5 million circulations this fiscal year. However, digital materials are significantly more expensive; for example, a $30 physical book can cost $80 in digital format and often comes with a limited two-year license. Operational Highlights and Construction Executive Director Peter announced that the library received an Epic Award for its new branding. He also highlighted the kickoff of the Summer Reading program on May 30th at Tahoe Park, featuring the theme "Read Freely". Construction projects for the Martin Luther King, North Sacramento Hagginwood, and Elk Grove libraries remain on schedule, with staff currently outfitting the King branch.   Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget   The Board approved the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which includes $65.3 million in revenues and $69.3 million in expenditures. Deficit and Diversions: The budget reflects a $4 million net use of fund balance. This is largely attributed to a $2 million diversion by the City of Sacramento to fund construction projects and a $1.1 million structural deficit on the city's side. Measure E: Approved by voters in 2024, Measure E provides a stable property tax revenue stream that consolidates previous measures and is adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Staffing Changes: The budget includes a net reduction of 3 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions. While 10 full-time positions were added, 13 limited-term library assistant positions were eliminated due to city budget constraints. Future Concerns   The Board discussed long-term sustainability, noting that maintaining 12 branches within the City of Sacramento may become problematic after 2029-2030 if structural deficits persist. Directors engaged in a robust debate regarding the use of Economic Uncertainty Reserves, which are currently maintained at 17% for the city and 35% for the county. While the library is currently meeting its reserve requirements, members requested future policy discussions on how to handle potential "harder cut scenarios" if economic conditions do not improve.

Asistăm la o disoluție îngrijorătoare a autorității morale în spațiul public, unde competența este sistematic marginalizată de nepotism, transformând instituțiile statului în feude personale imune la nevoile reale ale cetățeanului. . În timp ce datoria publică escaladează vertiginos pentru a întreține un aparat administrativ supraponderal și ineficient, reformele structurale profunde sunt amânate la nesfârșit din teama cinică de a nu pierde capital electoral. . Singura șansă de a rupe cercul vicios al subdezvoltării cronice este trecerea urgentă de la o economie bazată pe stimularea artificială a consumului la un model economic centrat pe producție internă, inovare și valoare adăugată mare. . Absorbția fondurilor europene nu trebuie privită ca un simplu exercițiu contabil de bifat statistici, ci ca pe ultimul tren strategic pentru modernizarea infrastructurii critice și reducerea decalajelor flagrante dintre regiuni. . Degradarea accelerată a sistemului educațional nu reprezintă doar o criză culturală, ci o vulnerabilitate majoră de securitate națională, capabilă să ne condamne la statutul de periferie economică a continentului pentru următoarele decenii. . O clasă politică responsabilă ar înțelege că stabilitatea macroeconomică nu se obține prin artificii fiscale de moment și suprataxarea sectorului privat, ci printr-o combatere agresivă a evaziunii și o disciplină financiară de fier. . Salvarea acestei societăți blazate depinde în mod direct de reinventarea meritocrației și de cultivarea unei elite tehnocrate veritabile, capabile să gândească dincolo de următorul ciclu electoral și să refacă încrederea spulberată în contractul social.

Most responses to civilizational crises focus outward – policy levers, energy systems, geopolitical actors, and material flows – with little focus on how the humans inside these systems might change and grow in parallel. At the same time, the minds that built this complex and fragile world are also the instruments we must use to navigate its unraveling, making them a critical factor in defining humanity's future. With that said, who will we be as simplification unfolds, and how do we prepare our inner terrains for what's coming? In this episode, Nate is joined by meditation practitioner, Andrew Holecek, for an exploration of the concept of dark retreats, periods of extended time in complete absence of light, as a practical path toward reflection and reconnection with ourselves and others. Andrew draws on decades of study in Tibetan Buddhism and non-dual wisdom traditions to explore how the external complexity of modern life is mirrored in the internal complexity of the modern mind. Central to his work is the concept of non-duality: a return from the fragmented display of self-versus-world toward a more unified, less suffering-prone relationship with reality. Andrew and Nate also explore the misleading entanglement of happiness and consumption, arguing that satisfaction arises not from acquiring what we want, but from the cessation of wanting itself.  What would it mean to practice darkness as a needed reprieve from constant light and stimulation, rather than deprivation? If the coming decades hold a forced reduction in external, material complexity, how could a deepening of our internal worlds make us more resilient, compassionate, and grounded? And could confronting fear – by learning to move through it rather than avoid it – be one of the most practical preparations for navigating future uncertainty and social fracture? (Conversation recorded on April 28th, 2026)    About Dr. Andrew Holecek: Andrew Holecek is an interdisciplinary scholar-practitioner in Tibetan Buddhism and other nondual wisdom traditions who has spent over thirty years helping people transform life's greatest challenges into opportunities for awakening. A dedicated meditation practitioner who completed the traditional Tibetan Buddhist three-year retreat, Andrew is known for making profound contemplative practices accessible and practical. He is actively involved in scientific research on dark retreat with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies where he serves as Resident Contemplative Scholar. Andrew is a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the author of several scientific papers on lucid dreaming, and was also the host of the now-concluded Edge of Mind podcast, where he interviewed guests to explore ancient teachings and modern topics about the nature of mind and reality. Andrew's newest area of focus is dark retreat, the ancient Buddhist practice of extended meditation in complete darkness. His most recent book, Total Eclipse of the Mind: Unleashing the Power of Darkness for Creativity, Healing, and Transformation, draws on more than thirty years of personal dark retreat experience. True to his approach, Andrew teaches dark retreat – and the more accessible gray retreat practice of weaving in and out of darkness – as a genuine path to healing, creativity, and self-understanding.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

The New York Knicks stormed back from a 22-point deficit to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, setting off a major debate on the show! Chris Russell asks whether the outcome was more about an incredible Knicks comeback or a complete Cavaliers collapse, and breaks down both sides of the argument before ultimately weighing which factor was more responsible for the dramatic finish...pointing to Cleveland's inability to maintain composure late in the game while also giving credit to New York's relentless effort and execution down the stretch.

Nobody warns you that you're going to be hungry at the beginning of your fat loss journey. And because nobody warns you, you think something is wrong. You think your body isn't responding, the process isn't working or that you're just not cut out for this.You are. And nothing is wrong.In this episode I'm breaking down exactly why hunger at the start of a calorie deficit is normal, what's actually happening in your body, why the food noise is temporary, and what the women who actually get results do differently when it gets hard.

What does it mean to say the world is fundamentally open for play - and why does it take something to even have to say it at all? In this episode - the third and final in a live-recorded three-part series with Ethan Hsieh, Taylor Barratt, and John Vervaeke - the conversation centers on Ethan as he unpacks the distinction between teaching and facilitation, the purpose of TIAMAT, and the deep personal why that drives his work. John maps the teacher/facilitator divide onto Aristotle's sophia and phronesis, while the group works through how theory and practice function as mutual correctives - each able to expose the other's blind spots. They examine phenomenological adequacy (how a theory can be causally sound yet fail to account for what's actually showing up in lived practice), the necessity of an ecology of practices over any single panacea, and why no closed overarching theory can substitute for genuine interdisciplinary dialogue. Ethan unpacks TIAMAT's purpose as psycho-education toward a good life - affording self-knowledge and heightened religiosity (bindedness to self, other, and world) without becoming a religion - and walks through the SPIRE framework (Service, Pilgrimage, Inquiry, Ritual, Enlightenment). The conversation deepens into the primordial nature of relationality, the actor training roots of TIAMAT, and Ethan's core conviction: that serious play - wrestling fully with what matters, using every faculty of one's being - is the most human way to stay genuinely coupled to a reality that always exceeds our grasp. The episode closes on joy: not pleasure, not comfort, but contact. Ethan Hsieh is the Director of Community Development and Partnerships at the Vervaeke Foundation. He comes from an acting background focused on character development. LinkedIn Taylor Barratt is the Director of Practice and Education at the Vervaeke Foundation. He has over a decade of experience in relational leadership through Authentic Relating Toronto.

This week we took a hard look at Canada’s Mark Carney. Competent, well-spoken, yet quietly running a neoliberal playbook. Then we checked Trump’s approval numbers, where even Republicans are starting to feel the gas prices, though 84% are still on board, which is somehow both unsurprising and completely bonkers.

Congress Adds $1B for Trump's Ballroom! What About the Deficit!?! Secret Service Shoots Gunman Near Wash Monument. Steve Kerr for Governor of California? RIP John Sterling—The Golden Pipes.  Trump told Congress the war in Iran was terminated. Days later, U.S. forces are still being attacked, gas is averaging $4.48 a gallon, the trade deficit just hit $60.3 billion, and Senate Republicans quietly slipped $1 billion for a White House ballroom into an immigration bill. In episode 513 of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff delivers a quick-blast solo briefing on the gap between what Trump says and what's actually happening on the ground — from the so-called Iran ceasefire, to a forever war now spanning eight countries, to a Secret Service shootout at the Washington Monument that barely registered as news. From there, it's a quick turn to the politics and the people who could actually break the rigged two-party stranglehold. He breaks down California's crowded, deeply unpopular gubernatorial field and floats a serious idea: Steve Kerr — Hall of Fame coach, voice of reason on guns, Iran, and ICE — running as an independent. And we pour one out for legendary Yankees announcer John Sterling. May his memory be a blessing and a reminder that hope is still the oxygen of our democracy.  -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.
