Fourteen calves died of dehaydration at a farm owned by Coolmore Stud in County Tipperary after the animals drinking water was temporarily disconnected. Mark Tighe, senior investigative Reporter at the Irish Times, joined to tell us more.

Summer is the perfect season to get outside. Whether you're tackling yard work, planting a garden, heading to the beach, taking long road trips, or finally crossing hiking trails off your bucket list, staying active is one of the best ways to support your overall health. But for many people, all that extra movement comes with an unwelcome surprise of back pain. If you've ever felt a sore or stiff back after a weekend of gardening, lifting heavy coolers, or spending hours in the car, you're not alone. In fact, many common summer activities place extra stress on your spine, especially if your body isn't conditioned for the sudden increase in activity. Poor bending mechanics, repetitive movements, and long periods of sitting or standing can quickly turn a fun summer day into days or even weeks of discomfort. The good news is that most summer-related back injuries are preventable. With a few simple habits and proper body mechanics, you can enjoy everything the season has to offer while protecting your spine. And if pain does strike, seeking natural pain relief early can help you recover faster and avoid more serious problems. At Jones Family Chiropractic, our experienced Chiropractor in Elizabeth City helps individuals and families stay active with safe, effective care for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, posture-related issues, and overall family wellness. In this article, we'll explain why back pain becomes more common during the summer, how to prevent it, and when it's time to seek professional chiropractic care so you can move more, hurt less, and enjoy your summer to the fullest. Why does back pain become more common during the summer Increased Heat in Summer Can Cause Inflammation Although warmth can at times ease muscle tightness, excessive heat may actually worsen inflammation, especially in individuals with chronic spine conditions such as arthritis or disc degeneration. Excessive temperatures can dilate blood vessels, increase circulation, and exacerbate inflammatory responses in already sensitive joints and tissues. Signs of heat-related inflammation may include swelling, tenderness, and worsening stiffness after exposure to high temperatures. Heat-related inflammation can be managed by staying cool, avoiding prolonged sun exposure, and maintaining an anti-inflammatory diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and omega-3 fatty acids. Increased Summer Activity and Overuse The summer season is usually marked with more physical activities such as gardening, hiking, vacations, swimming, or long walks. Although movement is generally recommended for health and spine health, sudden increases in activity levels can strain underused muscles and ligaments. Lack of proper conditioning or support can leave the spine vulnerable to sprains, disc injuries, or postural imbalances. To protect your back, build your activity gradually, stretch before and after exercise, and wear proper footwear. You should also be mindful of your posture while doing summer chores and use supportive tools, such as lumbar cushions or braces, if needed. Dehydration and Disc Compression Hydration plays a significant role in your spinal function. The discs between your vertebrae act as shock absorbers, and they are mostly made of water. When you are dehydrated, which commonly happens in summer due to excessive sweating, your discs can shrink and lose elasticity. This reduced cushioning can increase pressure on nerves, leading to stiffness or discomfort in the lower back and neck. Therefore, ensure you aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day during the summer, especially before and after outdoor activities, to help support your spine. Be cautious with caffeinated or alcoholic beverages, which can worsen dehydration. Back pain that worsens in the summer is often triggered by changes in weather, dehydration, and lifestyle factors. If your symptoms persist despite at-home care, tailored evaluation and evidence-based treatment can help restore comfort and function. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Jason Jones at our chiropractic clinic in Elizabeth City to explore your options for long-term relief and spinal wellness.

Have you ever gone to bed feeling fine, only to wake up with a migraine already in progress?In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores five hidden overnight factors that may contribute to morning migraine attacks—including disrupted sleep, breathing changes, jaw tension, fasting, and caffeine or medication patterns.You'll discover:

Dehydration changes more than how thirsty you feel. New research in trained cyclists found that mild dehydration reduced how much ingested glucose riders actually oxidised during a long ride. In this episode, Damian explains what the study tested, where its limits are, and how to plan fluid and carbohydrate as one strategy.Winter Block: https://go.semiprocycling.com/go/zem2frDaily cycling intelligence from SEMIPRO CYCLING, produced with AI-assisted research, scripting, and synthetic voice.

A 42-year-old man walked into my office.Blood pressure: 165 over 100.His doctor had already written the prescription. He was sitting across from me, looked me in the eye, and said:“I don't want to just manage this. I want to fix it.”Four weeks later, his blood pressure was completely normal. No medication change. No direct blood pressure treatment.Because here's the thing — we never once directly treated his blood pressure.We treated the system that was producing it.That's what this episode is about.The Reframe That Changes EverythingMost people — and most conventional medical appointments — treat blood pressure like it is the problem. The number is high, so we lower the number. Done.But blood pressure is not the problem. It's a report card. It's your body's way of showing you — in a very measurable, very undeniable way — that something upstream has gone wrong.Think of it like the check engine light in your car. You don't put tape over it and drive off. You open the hood.So today, we're opening the hood.Before we do — let's make sure we're speaking the same language. Blood pressure is two numbers:* Systolic (top number): pressure when your heart contracts and pushes blood out* Diastolic (bottom number): pressure when your heart is relaxing between beatsConventionally, 130/80 or above is classified as Stage 1 hypertension. A lot of people are sitting in that zone, being told to “keep an eye on it.”That advice isn't enough. Something created that pressure. And until we find out what, we're managing a symptom — not solving a problem.The 6 Root Drivers of High Blood PressureFrom a functional and metabolic medicine standpoint, there are six primary root drivers I look at when someone walks in with elevated blood pressure. Almost every time, it's not one of these in isolation — it's a combination.1. Insulin ResistanceThis is the big one. And it is criminally underdiagnosed.Here's the mechanism: when insulin is chronically elevated — from too much processed food, too much sugar, not enough movement — the kidneys start holding onto sodium. More sodium means more water in the bloodstream. More volume means more pressure. Basic physics.On top of that, high insulin activates your sympathetic nervous system — your fight-or-flight response — which causes blood vessels to constrict. Less room for the same amount of blood? Pressure goes up.Here's what makes this especially tricky: your blood sugar can look completely normal on a standard lab panel, and you can still have significant insulin resistance. That's why I don't just check fasting glucose. I look at fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and when needed, a glucose tolerance test with insulin levels drawn at multiple time points.2. Chronic InflammationInflammation damages the endothelium — the delicate inner lining of your blood vessels. When it's damaged, vessels lose their flexibility. They can't dilate and constrict properly.And a key molecule called nitric oxide — your body's natural blood vessel relaxer — drops off significantly when the endothelium is inflamed.Less nitric oxide, stiffer vessels, higher pressure. Every time.I test this with high-sensitivity CRP, homocysteine, and sometimes oxidized LDL. These aren't on a standard panel, but they tell me everything about what's happening inside those vessels.3. HPA Axis Dysregulation (Chronic Stress)Your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis — your stress response system — when chronically activated, keeps you pumping out cortisol and adrenaline. Both cause vasoconstriction. Both tell your kidneys to hold onto sodium. Both keep your heart rate elevated.Your body was designed to activate this system in short bursts — run from a predator, deal with a crisis. It was never designed to do this 24 hours a day in response to emails, traffic, and financial pressure.But that's the world most of us are living in. And for a lot of people, their blood pressure reflects it.4. Mineral DeficienciesMagnesium is the most important mineral almost nobody talks about in the context of blood pressure.It's a natural calcium channel blocker — and calcium channel blockers are literally one of the most prescribed blood pressure medications on the market.Magnesium helps blood vessels relax. It regulates the sodium-potassium pump in your cells. When it's low — and estimates suggest 60 to 80% of Americans are suboptimal — vessels stay tight.Potassium works hand-in-hand with magnesium and sodium to regulate fluid balance and vascular tone. I look at sodium-to-potassium ratios, not just absolute numbers, because that ratio matters enormously for cardiovascular regulation.5. Sleep Deprivation & Circadian DisruptionYour blood pressure is supposed to dip 10 to 20 percent during sleep. This is called nocturnal dipping, and it's when your cardiovascular system gets its nightly repair window.When you're not sleeping enough — or sleep quality is poor — that dip doesn't happen. Your heart works overtime, around the clock. Over weeks and months and years, that creates a chronically elevated baseline.Obstructive sleep apnea is a massive, underdiagnosed contributor here. If you wake up tired, snore loudly, or wake with morning headaches, please get tested. The connection between sleep apnea and hypertension is direct and well-established.Poor sleep also elevates cortisol and inflammatory markers — feeding every other driver on this list simultaneously.6. Mitochondrial DysfunctionThis one is underappreciated even in functional medicine circles.Your mitochondria — the energy factories inside every cell — are responsible for generating the ATP that powers your heart muscle, your vascular smooth muscle, everything. When they're dysfunctional — from chronic stress, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, or oxidative damage — cellular energy production drops.Your cardiovascular system then has to compensate by working harder. Blood pressure creeps up as a downstream consequence of your cells simply not having enough energy to function efficiently.We'll come back to this when we get to the quantum biology piece — because this is where it gets really interesting.This is the part most people have never heard anywhere. Lean in.Quantum biology examines the role of light, water, electrons, and quantum mechanical processes inside living cells. When it comes to blood pressure specifically, three things stand out.Light and the MitochondriaYour mitochondria are not just calorie-burning machines. They are fundamentally light-responsive.Near-infrared light — the kind emitted by the sun in the morning and evening, and also by incandescent and red light sources — directly stimulates cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.When properly stimulated by light, mitochondria produce more ATP, more structured water, and more nitric oxide. There's that word again — nitric oxide. The natural vasodilator. The thing that keeps blood vessels relaxed and flexible.When people stop getting morning sunlight and spend their entire day under blue-shifted artificial light, mitochondrial function degrades. Nitric oxide drops. Blood vessels stiffen. Pressure rises.This isn't fringe science. There is solid, published research connecting light exposure — particularly morning sunlight — to cardiovascular and blood pressure outcomes.Circadian BiologyYour body has a master clock in a region of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Nearly every cell in the body has its own peripheral clock synchronized to it.Blood pressure has a natural circadian rhythm. It should be lower at night, begin rising about an hour before waking, peak in the late morning, and modulate through the day. When circadian rhythm is disrupted — by artificial light at night, irregular eating, shift work, or poor sleep — that rhythm breaks down.A disrupted circadian clock is directly linked to hypertension. The mechanisms involve cortisol timing, aldosterone regulation, and inflammatory gene expression — all of which influence vascular tone.This is why I ask every patient about their light environment. When do you go outside? What does your bedroom look like at night? What time do you eat your last meal? These feel like lifestyle questions. They are cardiovascular questions.Structured Water and Vascular FunctionResearcher Gerald Pollack at the University of Washington has done groundbreaking work on what he calls the fourth phase of water — EZ water, or exclusion zone water. This is a gel-like, structured form of water that forms at hydrophilic surfaces, including the inner lining of blood vessels.EZ water is negatively charged and creates a kind of biological battery that powers cellular function and supports smooth, low-friction blood flow — essentially a lubrication layer inside your vascular system.What builds EZ water? Sunlight (particularly infrared), movement, grounding, and proper hydration with mineralized water.What degrades it? Dehydration, toxic load, poor light environment, chronic EMF exposure.When the vascular lining is not properly hydrated at this structured level, blood viscosity changes, endothelial function suffers, and blood pressure goes up.The bottom line: your blood pressure is not just a plumbing problem. It's a biological energy problem. And the inputs that drive cellular energy — light, water, minerals, sleep, movement, stress — are the same inputs that drive blood pressure.What This All Means: A Quick RecapHere's the picture pulled together:* Blood pressure is a symptom, not the root problem* The six root drivers are: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, HPA axis dysregulation, mineral deficiencies (especially magnesium and potassium), sleep deprivation and circadian disruption, and mitochondrial dysfunction* Applied kinesiology provides a way to assess how structural and neurological interference contributes to sympathetic dominance and vascular dysregulation* From a quantum biology perspective, your light environment, your circadian rhythm, and the quality of structured water in your vascular system directly influence how your vessels function and how your cells produce energy* When you address these upstream drivers — as we did with Marcus — the blood pressure number takes care of itself5 Things You Can Do TodayThese are not theoretical. Start here.1. Get morning sunlight — today. Within 30 to 60 minutes of waking, get outside and get natural light in your eyes and on your skin for at least 10 to 20 minutes. No sunglasses. This sets your circadian clock, starts stimulating mitochondrial function, and triggers nitric oxide production in the skin. It costs nothing.2. Cut refined carbohydrates and added sugars for two weeks. Not forever — just try it. This single change drops fasting insulin in most people within days. Lower insulin means less sodium retention, less sympathetic nervous system activation, and lower blood pressure. No prescription required.3. Start magnesium supplementation. Magnesium glycinate or magnesium malate — 300 to 400 mg in the evening. This is one of the safest, most evidence-backed interventions for vascular health. It supports vessel relaxation, improves sleep quality, and aids mitochondrial energy production. Ask your practitioner about your specific dose.4. Treat sleep like a clinical intervention. Because it is. Target 7 to 9 hours. Create a dark, cool sleeping environment. Eliminate screens 60 to 90 minutes before bed. Blue light at night suppresses melatonin, disrupts circadian rhythm, and keeps your nervous system in sympathetic mode. If you have signs of sleep apnea — waking up tired, loud snoring, morning headaches — get tested. This is non-negotiable.5. Prioritize resistance training. 30 minutes, three to four times a week. Strength training improves insulin sensitivity, builds mitochondrial density, supports nitric oxide production, and reduces arterial stiffness. Muscle is metabolic medicine.Ready to Go Deeper?If you read this and thought “this sounds like me” — or you've been told your blood pressure is borderline and you're not sure what to do about it — the next step is a conversation.I offer a free 45-minute Metabolic Audit Call where we look at what's actually driving your numbers — your symptoms, your history, your labs — and map out the highest-leverage moves for your specific situation.Spots are limited each week.Until next time — Be well.

In this lively DocTales with Cocktails episode, Dr. May Hindmarsh and Tim Hindmarsh tackle the headlines surrounding a recent Cyclospora outbreak linked to fresh produce—and separate legitimate concerns from media-driven fear. The conversation dives into foodborne parasites, dehydration, gut health, and why not every alarming headline deserves a panic response. They also explore whether cooking vegetables may offer digestive advantages, discuss emerging research on curcumin as a potential therapy, and share practical advice on when gastrointestinal illness actually warrants medical attention. Of course, it wouldn't be BS Free MD without plenty of humor. The episode veers into bizarre consumer products, questionable inventions, and finishes with one of Tim's signature rants that has to be heard to be believed. In This Episode The recent Cyclospora outbreak and what's actually happening How common these infections really are—and why perspective matters Symptoms of parasitic gastrointestinal infections Dehydration: when to stay home and when to seek medical care Standard treatments versus emerging research on curcumin Raw vs. cooked vegetables and gut health discussions Food safety myths, salad bars, and produce handling Tim's latest "product we'll never own" A cocktail recommendation from Deep Eddy Vodka Key Takeaways Headlines don't always reflect actual risk. Most gastrointestinal infections resolve with supportive care and hydration. Severe dehydration, bloody stools, or worsening abdominal pain require prompt medical evaluation. Proper food handling and preparation remain important, but panic rarely is. Medical conversations are better served with context than fear.

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: Oral Peptides for Appetite & Weight Loss, What Your Phase Angle Means for Your Cellular Health [0:00:00] Intro, Events Tease of the episode's themes: Segment 2: peptides and weight loss. Segment 3: phase angle and cellular health. Lung Coach event at Nutrition World – August 22 Mobile screening for early lung cancer detection. Emphasis that stage 1–2 lung cancer is often curable, stage 4 is not. Calcium score used to estimate plaque burden in arteries. Ed notes ~12 reasons for plaque formation, while most physicians focus on ~3. Mentions Dr. Kurt Dearing's book “Beyond Cholesterol”, covering broader causes of plaque. Financial health talk – August 22 (~11 AM) Michael E, financial planner, giving a free lecture on financial stability. Ed's point: two major life disruptors are declining health and declining finances, and they influence each other. Health Fair – October 24 Described as possibly the biggest health fair in the region. Features reps, free samples, circus‑like but “happy” atmosphere. [0:04:10] Restaurant Talk Light banter about Ed being a restaurant connoisseur and creature of habit. Restaurant recommendations via Ed's employee Fallon: Second Amendment / Second American (downtown). Hello Monty (special but reasonably priced menu). Ed's oxalate/joint pain story: Eating Purely Elizabeth cereal (high in oxalates: chia and other ingredients) triggered severe return of joint pain Discussion that some “healthy” foods can be nutritious but not healthy for everyone, especially for those sensitive to oxalates. Ed references his free oxalate ebook at theholisticnavigator.com and believes oxalates contributed to: His double hip replacement. Feeling old from age 50–65. Mentions OxyGuard supplement (recently restocked) and using 4 capsules/day to help clear excess oxalates (not as a license to keep eating high‑oxalate foods). Quick shout‑out to local farmers from Virginia End Farm selling at Nutrition World on Wednesdays (12–4), and that they've listened to every show. [0:8:55] Tease: Phase Angle & Seca Machine Ed previews Dr. Kurt Dearing's later segment on phase angle: A single number reflecting resilience and proximity to optimal health.. Mention of Be Well Labs / BeginwithLabs.com – Body Blueprint: Advanced lab panel: 50+ predictive health indicators. Pitch: more than a standard physical, actionable results. Price example: $275 vs typical $500, highlighting savings. [0:13:35] Segment Intro: Peptides & Weight Loss Framing: Peptides as one of the hottest trends in 47 years of Ed's experience. Shift from grey‑market injectables to safe, effective oral peptide powders. Ed has seen impressive feedback on an oral peptide powder for weight loss in early customers. [0:13:47] What Are Peptides? Protein basics: Proteins are long chains of amino acids essential for structure, function, and regulation. Peptide defined: A shorter chain of amino acids broken off from a larger protein. Lego analogy: Individual Legos = amino acids. Tall tower of Legos = full protein. Kid knocks tower over; a small intact stack (~8 Legos) that falls off = peptide. Each peptide has a “fingerprint” determined by: Length (how many amino acids/Legos). Sequence (order: e.g., red–red–blue–blue vs red–blue–red–blue). Processing (how it was broken off or created). Clarified: peptides are not primarily for fixing protein deficiency, but more for targeted signaling effects in the body. [0:20:52] Yeast‑Derived Oral Peptide for Metabolism & Drug Comparisons Endogenous peptides: made naturally inside the body. Exogenous peptides: introduced from outside (drug injections, supplements). Ozempic / GLP‑1 drugs: Yes, Ozempic is a peptide. These drugs are lab‑made peptides made to mimic natural body peptides. Peptides are not synthetic drugs in concept; they are peptide structures the body uses, though drugs are engineered. Focus on Ancient Nutrition “Active Peptide for Metabolism”: Contains a yeast peptide derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast), broken from a larger yeast protein. Mechanism & effects: Influences hunger and satiety signaling: Increases leptin (satiety hormone). Decreases ghrelin (hunger hormone). Reported benefits: Reduced hunger and cravings (including boredom eating). Weight loss primarily from fat mass, not muscle mass. Comparison with GLP‑1 injections (semaglutide, etc.): Injections often cause muscle loss (e.g., “Ozempic face,” loss of facial muscle/fat). Yeast peptide research shows fat‑centric weight loss. Clinical results quoted: After 2 months, average daily caloric intake decreased by ~600 calories. Leads to meaningful weight loss, depending on baseline intake and muscle mass. [0:24:25] Dosing, Timing, Stacking & Safety Considerations How to take it: Once daily, typically in the morning to curb cravings throughout the day. Users report: easier recognition of fullness during meals. Stacking with cortisol peptide product: Ancient Nutrition also has a cortisol‑active peptide capsule for stress support. Same amount of yeast peptide per serving; research supports doubling the yeast peptide dose, so: You can use the metabolism powder + cortisol peptide together. Stress, cortisol, and weight: Chronic stress and high cortisol promote fat gain. Stacking stress support + appetite control may help body composition. Onset of effect: Reagan reports she personally noticed benefits around 2 weeks (quicker than many supplements that take 60–90 days). Cost & practicality: Approx cost around $50 for 30 days. Positioned as a cost‑effective alternative or complement to expensive injections. Side effects vs injectables: Reagan's hospital experience with GLP‑1 side effects (e.g., gastroparesis, impaired gastric motility, some requiring tube feeds or IV nutrition). Oral yeast peptide described as gentler, working with natural processes, not “forcing” the system. [0:30:09] Yeast Source, Candida Concerns & Usage Notes Yeast strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (not S. boulardii, and not pathogenic/candida). Clarifications: Will not cause yeast infections. Will not feed candida overgrowth. Taste & preparation: Chocolate flavor described as surprisingly good, even for those picky about chocolate. Temperature-sensitive: Must be mixed with cool liquid (NOT hot coffee/tea or hot beverages). Leaving it in high heat (e.g., hot car) can degrade activity. [0:36:03] Segment Intro: Phase Angle & Seca Scan with Dr. Kurt Dearing Discussion of: Seca medical‑grade bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) machine (~$12,000). It's commonly in hospitals/clinics, but rarely publicly accessible; Nutrition World and Be Well Labs both have one. Dr. Dearing's consult package: Includes consult + Seca scan + follow‑up visit + follow‑up Seca scan (~$195, promo if listeners mention the show). [0:37:35] What Is Phase Angle? (Deep Dive into Measurement & Meaning) What the Seca scan measures: Total body fat and visceral fat. Muscle mass (overall and by body segment). Phase angle (key focus). Phase angle basics: BIA sends low‑level alternating electrical currents through the body. The phase shift (time/angle difference) between current and voltage is measured. That phase shift = phase angle. Higher phase angle → healthier cell membranes, better cellular integrity, more muscle mass, better hydration. Lower phase angle → often malnutrition, chronic disease, frailty; can be used in dialysis, cancer patients, etc., to predict outcomes. Used as a longevity biomarker: Akin to an “EKG of your cells”. Can function as an early indicator for overall health trajectory, barring accidents Dr. Dearing's personal story: First scan categorized him as “bronze” on Seca's scale: Levels: None → Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum. Motivated him to increase strength training and eating healthy. Subsequent scan: improved from bronze → gold. Ed's anecdote: Friend and gym member Fred now tests as platinum, after sustained gym and nutrition efforts. Phase angle as a guide: If results are poor, that's a signal to upgrade the plan (diet, exercise, supplements). If phase angle improves (e.g., 4 → 5), it proves the plan is working, beyond just “feeling” better. [0:43:47] How to Improve Phase Angle (Practical Protocols) Key drivers and interventions: 1. Strength Training & Exercise Primary recommendation: resistance/strength training to build muscle mass. 2. Adequate Protein Ed's guideline: ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight (men; women can often target ~¾ g per pound). Protein shakes often needed to hit targets. 3. Hydration & Electrolytes Proper cellular hydration improves phase angle. Maintain consistent fluid intake and electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium, magnesium). Avoid excessive diuretics/water pills. Dehydration causes phase angle to drop sharply. 4. Inflammation Control Systemic inflammation lowers phase angle and contributes to chronic disease. Tools: Anti‑inflammatory diet (Mediterranean‑style, high in omega‑3s). Omega‑3 fatty acids. Curcumin. Vitamin D optimization. Also includes sleep quality and stress management. 5. Foundational “Core Four” Supplements (Nutrition World concept) Covering: magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, B vitamins, etc., as baseline. 6. Targeted Add‑ons Creatine (supports muscle and cell energy). HMB (beta‑hydroxy beta‑methylbutyrate) – often paired with creatine. CoQ10 (mitochondrial and cellular energy). Phosphatidylcholine / BodyBio PC – to improve cell membrane integrity. [0:52:45] Closing Reflections Ed reads and comments on an article by Dr. Sircus about: Many doctors being “misaligned”: intellectually capable but no longer listening. Critique of: Over‑reliance on credentials. Under‑reliance on open‑mindedness and corrections. Emphasis that many clinicians are excellent listeners and deeply caring, but that institutional habits can discourage listening.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – July 26, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Your brain is about 75% water, and even mild dehydration slows focus, memory, reaction time, and mental clarity long before intense thirst appears Researchers found that 56% of older adults in a two-year cognitive study were physiologically dehydrated, even though most consumed what guidelines considered enough water Dehydration interferes with blood flow, oxygen delivery, and communication between brain cells, which contributes to brain fog, fatigue, irritability, and slower thinking Drinking excessive amounts of plain water creates its own problems by diluting sodium and disrupting electrolyte balance, which lowers cellular energy production and worsens dehydration at the cellular level Consistent hydration throughout the day, along with mineral-rich fluids, whole fruits, and electrolyte support during heavy sweating, helps your brain maintain sharper focus, steadier energy, and better long-term cognitive health

Pediatrician Dr. Stephanie Grice explains when parents should call the doctor, when a fever is concerning, signs of dehydration, and how to know when a sick child needs medical care.  How do you know when your sick child needs to see the doctor? It's one of the most common questions parents ask. Whether your child wakes up with a fever, develops a rash, starts vomiting, or simply seems "off," it can be difficult to know when to call the pediatrician, when to wait it out at home, and when immediate medical attention is needed. In this final installment of our Summer Pediatrician Series, Allison welcomes back pediatrician Dr. Stephanie Grice to help parents navigate childhood illnesses with greater confidence. Dr. Grice explains how pediatricians think about fevers, dehydration, respiratory illnesses, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, and other common childhood symptoms. She also shares practical advice for determining when symptoms can be monitored at home versus when it's time to schedule a sick visit, head to urgent care, or seek emergency medical attention. Whether you're caring for a newborn, toddler, school-aged child, or teen, this conversation will help you feel more prepared the next time illness strikes your household.

This episode is a comprehensive nutrition Q&A designed to help hikers, hunters, backpackers, and outdoor enthusiasts optimize their fuel and achieve their fitness goals. In the first half of the episode, we address specific listener struggles and do a deep-dive into the logistics of DIY trail food dehydration, navigating weight loss within family-style dinners, and smart workarounds for tight meal-prep spaces. The second half introduces the "Non-Tracking Framework"—a set of practical "bumpers" for busy days, vacations, or high-stress periods when logging food into an app isn't feasible, ensuring listeners can still maintain boundaries and progress toward their fitness goals without burning out. Key Topics Covered Deep Dive: The DIY Dehydration Guide for Backpacking Round vs. Square Dehydrators:The pros, cons, fan placement, price points, and space considerations for each. Trail Logistics:How to package, break up, and rehydrate your meals (the golden 1:1 water ratio). Safe Cooking:Choosing between mylar bags, boil-safe Ziplocs, or just cooking straight in your Jetboil. Pescatarian on the Trail:Creative ideas using canned tuna, shrimp, and high-recovery vegetarian grain/legume combos. Weight Loss & Cultural Family-Style Meals Why you don'tneed to isolate yourself or quit eating traditional family meals to lose weight. How to create a caloric deficit by auditing your day, managing portions, and making micro-adjustments to cooking fats (oil, butter, coconut milk). Using tracking as a tool for awareness, not restriction. Meal Prepping with Minimal Freezer Space 4 practical workarounds for tiny kitchens: shorter 2-3 day prep cycles, component-only shopping, non-frozen convenience foods (rotisserie chicken + salad bags), and creating a healthy local restaurant "hybrid" rotation. The Non-Tracking Framework: Nutritional "Bumpers" What to do when life gets too busy to log your food. The Plate Compartment Rule:Balancing your macros visually (Protein, Fiber/Veggies, and Carbs) to protect your training energy. Time Blocking:Setting intentional eating windows to eliminate mindless snacking, fancy coffee drinks, and liquid calories. Managing Highly Palatable Foods:The science of why it's easy to overeat Oreos or trail mix, but hard to overeat chicken and rice. The "No Doubling Up" Rule:Avoiding overlapping macros in a single meal (e.g., picking one starch, not three). Final Takeaways: Intentionality vs. Autopilot Matching your nutrition Strategy to your current bandwidth (The 1-to-5 Motivation Scale) so you never default to the drive-thru.

A quick scan of a pre-race warmup area and you'll see a rainbow array of brightly coloured drink mixes filling the bottles, beakers, and hydration packs of endurance athletes. For many, these beverages are the bridge between the hydration needs of “normal” people and the performance necessities of athletes, with brands touting optimized mineral blends and special formulas aimed at keeping athletes running harder for longer. But how much are these drinks really doing for performance and how much is clever marketing aimed at capitalizing on the most basic of human needs: thirst? With the hottest months upon us and the racing season in full swing, we welcome back Registered Dietitian Sandra Frail to dive into the salty waters of endurance hydration. We're taking a look at what our bodies really need to perform at their best, debunking some of the common misconceptions around electrolytes, sweat, and dehydration, and understanding the real-world strategies athletes can use to optimize their hydration and avoid pouring away extra money on pricey pee.

running, heat, hydration, performance, tips, electrolytes, training, acclimation, fitness, heart rateSummaryIn this episode, we explore the challenges of running in heat and humidity, discussing how heat affects the body, including increased heart rate and dehydration risks. We provide essential tips for running safely in hot conditions, emphasizing hydration, pacing adjustments, and the importance of listening to your body. The conversation highlights the significance of acclimating to heat and offers practical advice for runners to maintain performance and safety during summer runs.TakeawaysYour heart rate increases when running in heat.Dehydration can significantly impact performance.It's normal to feel slower in hot weather.Hydration is crucial; don't wait until you're thirsty.Adjust your pace according to the temperature.Light, breathable clothing helps with cooling.Listen to your body and stop if you feel unwell.Acclimation to heat takes time and gradual exposure.Running early or late can help avoid heat stress.Consider indoor running during extreme heat.

This case study from a bovine science discussion examines a sudden and alarming incident in which 12 cows and 2 calves died within 12 hours of routine pre-weaning processing. Initially, the deaths raised concerns about vaccine reactions, toxic exposure, or handling stress, but the pattern of mortality did not align with typical causes. Adult cows, which only received topical parasite treatment, were more affected than calves that received vaccines, further complicating the diagnosis. A necropsy revealed elevated sodium levels in brain tissue, pointing to water deprivation as the underlying issue. Investigation of the environment uncovered that while a water source existed, access had been unintentionally blocked when a gate was left closed during processing. High temperatures and a dry pond exacerbated the situation, leading to rapid dehydration and neurological symptoms in the cattle. Surviving animals displayed abnormal behavior such as aggression, crowding in shade, and signs of severe dehydration. Recovery efforts required carefully controlled rehydration to prevent additional complications like cerebral edema. The case emphasizes the critical importance of ensuring continuous water access, especially when altering animal environments during handling.

            In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn shares five important things pig owners should do to prepare their pigs for summer weather and prevent heat-related problems.           She explains that pigs struggle with heat because they cannot sweat efficiently, making shade and cooling areas essential. Autumn recommends checking pig areas throughout the day to ensure shade remains available as the sun moves, and suggests options like trees, tarps, shade cloths, lean-tos, and covered porches.           She also stresses the importance of reliable water access, noting that pigs often flip or spill water bowls. Dehydration can become dangerous quickly in hot weather and may contribute to salt toxicity, so owners should make sure pigs always have access to cool, shaded water.           Another major topic is mud and cooling zones. Autumn explains that pigs use mud to regulate body temperature, protect their skin from the sun, repel bugs, and satisfy natural instincts. She shares ideas such as kiddie pools, shallow bins, sprinklers, gentle hose spraying, and homemade mud areas to help pigs stay cool.            The episode also covers spring and summer grazing. While pigs enjoy grass, especially sugary spring grass, too much grazing can lead to rapid weight gain. Autumn explains how she carefully manages grazing access and adjusts pellet feeding to maintain healthy body condition and reduce the risk of overheating.           Finally, she discusses enrichment during hot weather. Since pigs tend to become less active outside in extreme heat, boredom can lead to destructive behavior indoors. She recommends enrichment activities like rooting boxes, treat hunts, frozen snacks, snuffle mats, cardboard boxes, and blankets to keep pigs mentally stimulated and happy.           The episode closes with important heat safety reminders, including warning signs of overheating such as panting, lethargy, weakness, and refusing food. Autumn also explains the dangers of salt toxicity and emphasizes that overheated or dehydrated pigs should be cooled and rehydrated slowly, not all at once.

Building a strong feeding foundation is key to supporting your horse's long-term digestive health, so you can feel confident you're giving them the best care possible!

In 1982, American sailor Steven Callahan survived 76 days alone in the Atlantic Ocean after his sailboat sank in the middle of the night. In this episode of the Align Podcast, he joins Aaron to share his mind-blowing story. From catching fish and collecting drinking water to managing fear, loneliness, and physical pain, Steven reflects on the mental and spiritual lessons that emerged during one of the most well-known survival stories ever recorded. He also explores resilience, human adaptability, and what life at sea taught him about purpose, suffering, and connection to the natural world. ALIGN PODCAST EPISODE #595 ========== OUR GUEST ========== Best selling author, marine adventurer, artist, and consultant to Oscar-winning directors, Steven Callahan has built his fifty-year career in the maritime and communications businesses on a rare blend of hands-on, real-world experience, technical know-how, philosophy, and the creative arts. Callahan considers the sea the world's greatest wilderness. He often wrote about adventuresome shorthanded offshore sailing events for maritime audiences, but by exploring the universal human issues and emotions that are amplified at sea and through the stress of survival, Callahan's creative work has been able to span both dedicated marine and general audiences. Adrift, Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea (Houghton Mifflin) chronicles his 2,000-mile (1,800 nautical mile) survival drift across the Atlantic in a six-foot diameter inflated raft in 1982. ================ STEVEN CALLAHAN ================

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260310dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” John 4:17-18 Dehydration Jesus met a woman at a well outside of her village one day. They started talking, and before long, her whole life was out in the open. He knew all about her. She couldn’t pretend to be someone she wasn’t. Her past sins and her current sinful living arrangement were no longer secrets. She had made excuses and rationalized her behavior in the past. However, that didn’t bring any real relief to the condition of her soul. What Jesus said revealed that she was spiritually dehydrated. What Jesus said revealed how desperately she needed living water. What proof of spiritual dehydration would Jesus point out in your life? What sins for which you’ve made excuses? What sins did you hope were hidden or forgotten? Would he mention a disregard for marriage in the way you live each day? Would he point to choices about how you spend your time or money that don’t put God first? Would he ask questions that reveal grudges you don’t want to let go of or anger that you let fester in your heart? Would he uncover lies you have told or hurtful things you have said? In his Word, Jesus uses the commands of the law to awaken in us a spiritual thirst that no amount of effort or excuses can satisfy. He shows us that what naturally wells up in us is filthy sludge that can only lead to death and not the pure, clean water that leads to eternal life. Jesus himself is the pure living water we need. He entered the wasteland of our world and found spiritual refreshment every day in God’s Word. Then he hung on a cross, thirsty not just from the physical toll of crucifixion but from the spiritual dehydration of our sins that he took as his own. Now he refreshes us with the promise that our sins are forgiven. Our guilt is gone. He revives us with his mercy. Through his death and resurrection, he gives us new life that will never end.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260310dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” John 4:17-18 Dehydration Jesus met a woman at a well outside of her village one day. They started talking, and before long, her whole life was out in the open. He knew all about her. She couldn’t pretend to be someone she wasn’t. Her past sins and her current sinful living arrangement were no longer secrets. She had made excuses and rationalized her behavior in the past. However, that didn’t bring any real relief to the condition of her soul. What Jesus said revealed that she was spiritually dehydrated. What Jesus said revealed how desperately she needed living water. What proof of spiritual dehydration would Jesus point out in your life? What sins for which you’ve made excuses? What sins did you hope were hidden or forgotten? Would he mention a disregard for marriage in the way you live each day? Would he point to choices about how you spend your time or money that don’t put God first? Would he ask questions that reveal grudges you don’t want to let go of or anger that you let fester in your heart? Would he uncover lies you have told or hurtful things you have said?

Struggling to dial in your nutrition? We have you covered . . . well, sort of. Nutrition and hydration vary greatly between athletes and we'll give you a LOT to think about as you train and prepare for your race. We'll look at high carb, low carb, and maybe more importantly, the right carbs. We'll talk sugar and sodium. We get into the concept of "over-fueling" and why it may be more common than you think. We get into your "work rate" and why it might be the most important variable. We look at sweat rates, when caffeine is a terrible idea, and why the swim is much more important than most people give it credit for. We talk about daily nutrition and why that sets the most important tone for everything you do in training. Come join us at one of our awesome Camps: Nashville, May 13-17 - https://runsignup.com/Race/TN/Nashville/2026Camp Madison, Wisconsin, July 30-Aug 2 - https://c26triathlon.com/camps/triathlon-camp-wisconsin-2026/ Topics: Do you take in too much nutrition? Popping gels as a habit High Carb - Low Carb - The Right Carb Why you have to experiment Carbs/Sugar is a polarizing topic Use carbs as a booster not always the fuel How high is your "work rate?" Dehydration impact What is my hourly calorie and carbohydrate goal for the bike and run? Overfilling on the bike? Gut training?? Is it nutrition or not training properly? How much sodium or electrolyte intake is necessary per hour, and how should I carry it? Sweat rates vary greatly Doing your own sweat test What are common race-day nutrition mistakes, and how do I avoid them? Why caffeine when you're tired is a bad idea Don't be afraid of deviating from your plan by listening to the body Why the swim is SOO important How do I effectively practice my race-day nutrition during long training sessions? Why you get behind the 8-ball and can't get out from it How long can you fend off that feeling of being in the negative?

BGMania B-Sides #42 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth drops into Risk of Rain 2, the relentless roguelike shooter that turns isolation and chaos into an ever-escalating fight for survival. What starts as a quiet landing on an alien world quickly spirals into overwhelming waves of enemies, towering bosses, and that constant ticking pressure to move faster before the difficulty swallows you whole. The soundtrack matches that intensity beat for beat, fusing atmospheric ambience with driving percussion, soaring guitar lines, and synth textures that feel both futuristic and strangely human. Tracks build gradually, layering rhythm and melody until they erupt into cathartic climaxes that mirror the game's frantic momentum. It's music that thrives on tension and release, perfectly capturing the lonely vastness of an alien planet while pushing you forward into the storm.

Episode 3276: Dr. Neal Malik dispels the long-held myth that coffee and tea are dehydrating, explaining that these beverages actually contribute to daily fluid intake. Backed by research and meta-analyses, he highlights how regular, moderate consumption can support hydration and even offer protection against chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Quotes to ponder: "Coffee and tea intake actually count towards an individual's overall fluid intake for the day and do not increase the risk of dehydration." "The body does still absorb and use the majority of the liquid consumed via coffee and tea." "The more often coffee and tea are consumed, the less likely someone will experience dehydration."

A practical coaching conversation for new fasters on why slowing down is the fastest way to make real progress. Episode #242

Are your fitness goals realistic for the life of a busy sales professional? "I find that a lot of sales leaders I work with are operating at about 110% capacity. So when we're talking about tackling health and fitness, we have to really understand what is going to be the few habits that are really easy to do and have the biggest bang for buck." That's Josh Hulsebosch, a fitness coach who specializes in working with sales professionals, speaking on the Sales Gravy podcast. His observation cuts straight to the real reason most January fitness resolutions fail: they're trying to add more to an already overflowing plate. The typical sales professional is already drowning in competing priorities while operating at maximum capacity. When New Year's hits, the instinct is to overhaul everything at once. New diet. New workout plan. New morning routine. That approach might work for people with open calendars and low pressure. For salespeople pushing through Q1 kickoffs, territory planning, and quota pressure, it is a fast track to burnout. The All-or-Nothing Trap Meet Steve. He's an individual contributor who decided January 1st would mark his transformation. No more coffee. Five-mile runs every morning. Intermittent fasting. Four hours of cold calling daily because he just finished reading Fanatical Prospecting. Ten days in, Steve slept through his alarm, missed his workout, and ordered a triple-shot latte on the way to work. That emotional crash bled into his work. His prospecting activity dropped. His confidence dipped. His motivation evaporated under the weight of his own perfectionism. Steve's mistake wasn't lack of commitment. He turned ambitious goals into self-sabotage by refusing to acknowledge a simple truth: sustainable change requires starting where you are, not where you wish you were. Most sales professionals approach fitness goals like they approach pipeline building—more activity equals better results. But health doesn't work like prospecting. You can't brute force your way into better sleep or lower stress. The body requires a different strategy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ilLRFM78Mw The 110% Capacity Problem Sales is a cognitively demanding profession. You're the quarterback of the business. Every day requires strategic thinking, relationship management, objection handling, and staying mentally sharp through rejection. When you're already operating at 110% capacity, adding extreme fitness commitments creates another obligation you can't meet, another source of stress, another thing to feel guilty about when you inevitably miss a workout or eat fast food between calls. The sales professionals who successfully improve their health identify which habits will support their performance, then build them into their existing routine. They do not chase trends. They focus on fundamentals. The Four Pillars of Health for Sales Professionals Fitness and health goals for sales professionals need to be realistic for people working at maximum capacity. You can't afford to waste energy on complicated protocols or fitness fads. You need the fundamentals: exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management. When these four pillars are strong, everything else becomes easier. Pillar One: Exercise The fitness industry wants you to believe you need intense workouts, complicated programs, and hours at the gym. For sales professionals, the single most effective exercise habit is walking 8,000 steps daily. This number is achievable for most people regardless of fitness level. It builds momentum without requiring a complete schedule overhaul. When you consistently hit 8,000 steps, you prove to yourself that you can follow through on a commitment without sacrificing your work performance. Movement improves cognitive function, reduces stress hormones, and helps with sleep quality—all critical for sales performance. Make it automatic. Take calls while walking. Park farther away from the office. Walk to get coffee instead of ordering delivery. Use a standing desk and pace during internal meetings. Build movement into what you are already doing rather than treating it as another task. Once 8,000 steps become effortless, you can layer in strength training or other activities. But walking is the foundation. It's the one exercise habit that compounds without breaking you. Pillar Two: Nutrition Sales professionals tend to fall into two nutrition traps. The first is eating like garbage because they're too busy to care. The second is attempting some extreme diet overhaul that lasts nine days before they're back to their old patterns. The solution isn't meal plans or macro tracking or cutting entire food groups. It's having a system that works when you're slammed. Start here: don't skip meals. When you're running between meetings and surviving on coffee, your blood sugar crashes. That kills your cognitive performance and drives you toward quick fixes that leave you feeling worse an hour later. Keep protein-rich foods accessible. Greek yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, protein bars that aren't candy in disguise, rotisserie chicken, nuts. These don't require cooking or planning. They stabilize your energy and keep you sharp during long stretches between meals. Meal prep doesn't need to be complicated. Pick one day, cook a large batch of something simple—grilled chicken, ground turkey, rice, roasted vegetables—and portion it out. Now you have real food available when your schedule gets chaotic. Hydration matters more than most people realize. Dehydration mimics fatigue. Keep water at your desk. Drink it between calls. If you're consuming coffee all day, match it with water. You'll notice the difference in your afternoon energy levels. Pillar Three: Sleep Sleep deprivation destroys sales performance. You get paid to think. When you run on five or six hours of sleep, decision-making suffers. Decision-making suffers. Emotional regulation weakens. Your ability to read prospects and handle objections declines. You can't always control how many hours you sleep, especially during high-pressure periods. But you can improve sleep quality. Start with a simple nighttime routine that signals to your body it's time to wind down. Turn off screens thirty minutes before bed. Keep your bedroom cool. If your mind races when you lie down, acknowledge the thoughts without engaging with them. Notice they're there, then redirect your focus to your breathing. If you wake up in the middle of the night with work thoughts, write them down or set a reminder for the next day. This closes the mental loop and allows your brain to let go. Pillar Four: Stress Management Sales is a pressure environment. Constant decision-making. Emotional labor. Rejection. Urgency. You move from call to meeting to fire drill to another call with almost no downtime. Over time, your nervous system stays stuck in high alert. That chronic stress does not just affect your mood. It impacts your sleep, your focus, your patience with prospects, and your ability to think clearly in complex conversations. If you do not manage it, it will manage you. Controlled breathing is one of the fastest ways to regulate your nervous system. Inhale for four seconds. Hold for four. Exhale for four. Hold for four. This is box breathing. You can do it between calls. Before a tough conversation. While waiting for a prospect to answer. It does not draw attention. It just brings your system back into balance. When stress is regulated, sleep improves. When sleep improves, thinking becomes clearer. Clearer thinking leads to better sales performance. It is a small habit. The impact compounds. Building Fitness Goals That Actually Stick If you're surviving on five hours of sleep, start there. If you're skipping meals and running on caffeine, fix your nutrition first. If you haven't moved your body in weeks, commit to 8,000 steps. Don't try to overhaul all four pillars simultaneously. That's the all-or-nothing trap that killed Steve's momentum in ten days. When you take care of your physical and mental health, you show up sharper for your prospects, your team, and your numbers. Your body is the vehicle for your career. You can't hit quota consistently if you're running on empty. Start with one pillar. Build one habit. Give it time to take root before you add the next one. That's how you win in Q1 and beyond. If you are serious about building fitness habits that actually fit the realities of sales, go deeper with Josh Hulsebosch's performance-focused courses on Sales Gravy University. His programs are built specifically for sales professionals who are operating at full capacity and still want to win on health, energy, and longevity.
