So many women jump into a calorie deficit or decide they want to compete without first building the foundation that actually makes those phases successful.In this episode, I break down the 10 things you need to master before starting a deficit or stepping on stage. We talk about the importance of building a healthy relationship with food, creating consistent nutrition habits, learning how to properly fuel your body, and developing the mindset needed for long-term physique progress.

In this episode of Going Nuclear, Andrew Weekley of Smith Weekly Research joins the program to discuss the necessity of adaptation and capital preservation amidst heightening global volatility and geopolitical friction. Weekley details his current defensive posture of keeping "one foot out" of the market by maintaining high cash reserves, citing concerns over broad market manipulation and the impending risk of a significant correction. The conversation explores the structural challenges facing the uranium industry, specifically the severe lack of technical expertise and the logistical hurdles likely to delay anticipated greenfield production restarts. Finally, the episode highlights the importance of identifying company-specific value creators and explains why the team remains cautiously optimistic about the long-term outcomes for uranium, gold, and silver despite near-term market "chop".

Amber Ruddy and Keith McLaughlin return to Alberta Edge to break down the fallout from Alberta's $9.4-billion deficit budget. A sudden rebound in oil prices has already begun to reshape the political conversation. Could stronger energy markets soften criticism of the deficit—or simply postpone tougher debates about Alberta's revenue model and spending choices? The panel also discusses Calgary's property tax clash with the province, looming referendums, and the approaching April 1 deadline tied to federal-provincial MOU preconditions.

After opening a major building project in May last year and announcing the details of another in September, which is due to open in the early 2030s, the National Gallery in London has revealed, quite unexpectedly, that it has to make serious cuts, including to its staff, in the face of a deficit that could rise to £8.2m in the coming year. Martin Bailey, The Art Newspaper's special correspondent in London, tells us more. In The Hague in the Netherlands, the Mauritshuis has just opened a new exhibition called BIRDS – Curated by The Goldfinch & Simon Schama.

Send a textIn episode #174 we discussed Dr. Jose Areta's latest research, including:How energy deficits influence muscle protein synthesis and qualityThe role of mitochondrial proteins and their upregulation during energy restrictionPractical implications for timing and periodization of caloric deficits in training cyclesHormonal signals and their interaction with muscle adaptation during energy deficitsAssociate Professor Dr. José L. Areta is a leading scholar in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). His research investigates how nutrition and exercise interact to influence both performance and health. He focuses on the timing and composition of macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — and how they affect training adaptation. José also examines the role of dietary supplements in optimizing athletic performance, as well as the endocrine and metabolic consequences of energy restriction, particularly low energy availability. He has contributed influential studies on how severe calorie deficits combined with exercise can alter muscle quality and metabolism. José's work links cellular-level changes in muscle to practical nutrition strategies for athletes facing weight-sensitive sports or energy restriction.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Follow Jose Areta's research: Study discussed, Endocrine, Metabolic, and Skeletal Muscle Proteomic Responses During Energy Deficit With Concomitant Aerobic Exercise in Humans: https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj.202502384RRIG: https://www.instagram.com/jose_l_aretaWeb: https://profiles.ljmu.ac.uk/13460-jose-aretaResearch: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=8tP0vzUAAAAJ&hl=enMentioned:A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Association and Differences between Aerobic Threshold and Pint of Optimal Fat OxidationCreatineBeta-alanineMORE NR Save 10% on our website with code NEWPOD10 Apply to work with us, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/ Interested in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?

Most women are focused on weighing less—but the real key to longevity, metabolism, and confidence is building muscle.In this episode, Nikkiey breaks down why women are facing a muscle deficit crisis, especially after 40, and how years of dieting and excessive cardio may be causing you to lose the very thing that protects your metabolism, hormones, and long-term health. She explains why muscle is known as the “organ of longevity,” how age-related muscle loss impacts fat loss, strength, and independence, and why many women are not overweight—but under-muscled.You'll learn why strength training and proper fueling, especially adequate protein, are essential for preserving muscle, improving body composition, and building a stronger, more resilient body.Learn more about the WarriorBabe method at warriorbabe.com.This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth.

In this episode, G.K and Dave dig into the cultural and political narratives shaping America's view of crime, accountability, and moral responsibility. They examine how modern political frameworks often redefine crime through ideological lenses — and ask whether being "soft on crime" is less about compassion and more about future political calculus. Dave explores the deeper nexus behind the hypocrisy — arguing that at its core lies a collapse of shared morality. Without a moral framework, justice becomes negotiable and truth becomes tribal. The conversation then pivots to devotion to duty — responding to G.K.'s observation that it takes real moral courage to confront dysfunction in the workplace, culture, and government. Silence may be safe — but it isn't righteous. G.K. broadens the lens globally, contrasting the trajectories of Thailand and the former Burma (now Myanmar) — illustrating how governance, freedom, and ideology shape national outcomes. The episode closes on a hopeful but sobering note: Despite its flaws, America — now 250 years into its great political experiment — remains the most benevolent nation on earth. Dave leaves listeners with a homework assignment:

In this episode of Queen of Pep Talks, Jessica Battle explains why a calorie deficit alone is not enough to create sustainable weight loss for women with a history of binge eating or emotional eating.While calorie restriction can lead to short-term weight loss, Jessica breaks down why those results often don't last when the relationship with food is left unaddressed. She explores how restriction, emotional triggers, and all-or-nothing thinking fuel cycles of bingeing, quitting, and starting over — even when women are doing “everything right” on paper.This episode reframes weight loss as more than just calories and highlights the mindset shifts and emotional skills required to make weight loss sustainable without self-sabotage.This conversation is for women who want to lose weight and heal their relationship with food — without sacrificing their mental health in the process.Watch the Full Episode on YouTube.

Dvorak on Twitter Follow Andrew Horowitz on Twitter Interactive Brokers Warm-Up - WORST DAY EVER for SILVER - Cold Snap in Florida - Massive Critter Drop - New Fed Chair named - Pausing on space Markets - Bitcoin plunges - Crypto "winter" - Deep dive into January economic results - USD rises from multi-month low - EM still powered ahead - ELON - PT Barnum move Cold Snap - On February 1, 2026, Florida faced a significant drop in temperatures, reaching a record low of 24°F (-4°C) in Orlando. This marked the lowest temperature recorded in February since 1923. - Iguanas dropping from tress all over the streets - Iguanas can survive temperatures down to the mid-40s Fahrenheit (around 7°C) by entering a "cold-stunned" state, where they appear dead but are just temporarily paralyzed and immobile; however, prolonged exposure to temperatures in the 30s and 40s, especially below freezing, can be lethal, particularly for smaller individuals, leading to tissue damage and organ failure. - They get sluggish below 50°F (10°C) and fall from trees as they lose grip. - The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued Executive Order 26-03 on Friday, allowing residents to collect and surrender cold-stunned green iguanas without a permit during an unprecedented cold weather event. Right on Schedule - Remember we talked about how the Nat Gas price was going to reverse, just as quickly as it spikeed? - Nat gas down 25% today - down about 28% from recent high - Still about 50% higher than it was before the spike. THIS! - Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said the company's proposed $100 billion investment in OpenAI was “never a commitment” and that the company would consider any funding rounds “one at a time.” - “It was never a commitment,” Huang told reporters in Taipei on Sunday. “They invited us to invest up to $100 billion and of course, we were, we were very happy and honored that they invited us, but we will invest one step at a time.” Then Oracle announced that it will do a fundraiser in the form of equity and debt - needs to fund more datacenter build-out. - What happened to the OpenAI $300 Billion committment? - Or is the money that NVDA "committed to OpenAi, that they must have committed to Orcle, not a committment - GIGANTIC CIRCLE JERK Fungus - -Interesting - Did you know? Botrytis cinerea, a fungus causing grey mold, affects grapes by causing bunch rot, ruining fruit in high humidity. - While it often destroys crops, specific dry, warm conditions can transform it into "noble rot," concentrating sugars and creating high-value dessert wines (e.g., Sauternes, Tokaji) with honeyed, raisin-like, and apricot flavors. January Economic Review Employment — Job growth was nearly flat in December, with 50,000 new jobs added and earlier months revised lower. — Unemployment dipped slightly to 4.4%, but it's still higher than it was a year ago. — Long-term unemployment didn't change and remains high, and the labor force participation rate slipped to 62.4%. — Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% in December and are up 3.8% over the past year. — Weekly jobless claims stayed close to last year's levels, showing a labor market that is cooling but not weakening sharply. FOMC / Interest Rates — The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%. — Most policymakers agreed the economy continues to grow at a solid pace, though job gains are slowing and inflation remains above target. — Two committee members supported a small rate cut, but the majority preferred to wait. - Fed Chair Powell: Clearly, a weakening labor market calls for cutting. A stronger labor market says that rates are in a good place. It isn't anyone's base case right now that the next move will be a rate hike. - The economy has once again surprised us with its strength. Consumer spending numbers overall are good, and it looks like growth overall is on a solid footing. - Upside risks to inflation and downside risks to employment have diminished, but hard to say they are fully in balance. We think our policy is in a good place. - Overall, it's a stronger forecast since the Fed's last meeting. Haven't made any decisions about future meetings, but the economy is growing at a solid pace, the unemployment rate is broadly stable and inflation remains somewhat elevated, so we will be looking to our goal variables and letting the data light the way for us. - Most of the overrun in goods prices is from tariffs. We think tariffs are likely to move through, and be a one-time price increase. - Dissent: Miran and Waller (Miran is a admin shill and Waller wanted job as Fed Chair) GDP & Federal Budget — Economic growth remained strong in Q3 2025, with GDP rising at an annualized 4.4% driven by strong spending, higher exports, and reduced imports due to tariffs. — Investment was mixed, with business spending increasing while housing activity declined. — The federal deficit for December rose to $145 billion, though the fiscal year-to-date deficit is slightly smaller than last year. Inflation & Consumer Spending — Personal income and consumer spending rose moderately in October and November. — Inflation, measured by the PCE index, increased 0.2% in both months and roughly 2.7% year-over-year. — The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% in December, with shelter, food, and energy all contributing. — Producer prices also increased, though 2025 producer inflation slowed compared to 2024. Housing — Existing home sales rose in December, but the number of homes for sale is still low. — Prices dipped a bit from November but remain higher than they were a year ago. — New-home sales in October were steady compared with the prior month but much higher than last year. — New-home prices fell compared to 2024, though they are still high relative to long-term norms. Manufacturing — Industrial production rose 0.4% in December and was up 2.0% for the year. — Manufacturing output increased, while mining activity declined and utility output jumped. — Durable goods orders grew sharply in November, driven by a big increase in transportation equipment, pointing to strong demand in key industries. Imports & Exports — Import and export prices rose slightly through November 2025. — The goods trade deficit widened in November because exports fell while imports increased. — For the year so far, both exports and imports are running above 2024 levels, though the overall trade deficit remains larger. Consumer Confidence — Consumer confidence fell sharply in January after improving in December. — Both views of current conditions and expectations for the future weakened, with expectations dropping well below the level that often signals recession risk. Earnings — Roughly one-third of S&P 500 companies have reported Q4 earnings, and overall results are strong. — 75% of companies have beaten EPS estimates, though this is slightly below long-term averages. Revenue beats remain solid at 65%. — Companies are reporting earnings 9.1% above estimates, which is well above the 5-and 10-year surprise averages. — The S&P 500 is on track for 11.9% year-over-year earnings growth, marking the 5th straight quarter of double-digit earnings growth. — Eight of eleven sectors are showing positive year-over-year earnings growth, led by Information Technology, Industrials, and Communication Services. — The Health Care sector shows the largest earnings declines among lagging categories. — The forward 12-month P/E ratio sits at ~22.2, elevated relative to 5-and 10-year averages, signaling continued optimism despite tariff and cost concerns. — FactSet also notes the S&P 500 is reporting a record-high net profit margin of 13.2%, the highest since 2009.
