Podcast 308 – Why Light Up Dunwoody Moved to the Donaldson-Bannister Farm – Jimmy Economos and Tim Brown   Light Up Dunwoody is leaving the Burger King parking lot behind and heading to the Donaldson-Bannister Farm. It's a serious vibe upgrade. Jimmy Economos of EEP Events and DHA President Tim Brown share how the event outgrew the Village and found a new home with more space for reindeer, a stage for dancers, and a 26-foot Christmas tree and menorah right by Chamblee-Dunwoody Road. Expect over 80 performers, crafts from Spruill Center to decorate the tree, free Santa pics (with the Santa David), and live music from the Dunwoody High School Marching Band. The band will also be raising money for the Bring It Home campaign to finally give DHS a true home stadium. We also recap the 2025 Candidate Forum, another DHA event. Thanks to EEP Events stepping in with pro-level sound, lights, and live-streaming at Stage Door Theatre, the night went off without a hitch. It gave neighbors a chance to hear directly from candidates and set the bar high for an old tradition with a new digital spin. With DHA, Rough Draft, Stage Door, and EEP teaming up, the forum is poised to become another can't-miss event on the local calendar.

Episode description: When it comes to prenatal vitamins, the industry is failing women, period. After reviewing 27 major brands, Dr. G found that only two could prove their formulas were truly safe, clean, and effective. The rest? Ignored testing requests, refused transparency, or relied on influencer marketing instead of science. If you're pregnant or planning to be, this episode could change everything. In This Episode: • The 3 safest prenatal vitamins of 2025 — and why they passed Dr. G's strict criteria • The 25 brands that failed, including Ritual, Needed, Garden of Life, and others • Why folate (not folic acid) is critical for your baby's brain and spinal development • How a common gene variant (found in 40% of women) changes how your body absorbs vitamins • The most overlooked nutrients in prenatals — choline, DHA, iodine, and iron • What to look for in a certificate of analysis and how to verify third-party testing • How low-quality formulas can quietly harm your baby's brain, thyroid, and nervous system Key Takeaways: ✅ Only two brands met the highest standards of transparency and bioavailability. ✅ Synthetic vitamins like folic acid and cyanocobalamin (B12) may be ineffective for women with common gene variants. ✅ Look for methylated forms of B-vitamins, bioavailable choline, and algae-based DHA. ✅ Demand transparency — if a company won't share testing data, it doesn't deserve your trust.

In this episode, we return to protein—this time looking at how to use it strategically to build and maintain muscle, especially as we age (or level up, as I like to say).If you haven't yet listened to Are You Getting Enough Protein? Part One and Are You Getting Enough Protein? Part Two, I highly recommend doing so — they lay the foundation for this deeper dive into how protein works in the body, how much we actually need, and why amino acids from plants are identical to those from animals.Today, we're getting practical and personal by looking at:* The many benefits (besides aesthetics) when we build muscle* Why protein timing matters as much as protein amount* How leucine — one of the branched-chain amino acids — acts as the “on switch” for muscle repair and growth* Why lifting heavy (yes, heavy sh*t!) is essential for preserving strength, bone density, and metabolic health* How creatine supports muscle building* Shifting from weight loss to body recomposition* Answers to your questions about collagenYou'll learn how to overcome anabolic resistance (our body's natural decline in muscle-building efficiency with age), why women in particular benefit from shorter post-workout protein windows, and how simple daily habits play into muscle repair and longevity.If you've been wondering how to eat and train for strength, confidence, and longevity — while keeping it plant-based and joyful — this episode is for you.Listen wherever you get your podcasts by clicking “play” on the player above.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Carolina Schneider, MS, RD.

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients.

In this episode, we explore the connections between Autism and Parkinson's, focusing particularly on the basal ganglia and its substructures, notably the substantia nigra within the midbrain. We discuss how the substantia nigra, known for its high concentration of neuromelanin, plays a critical role in these disorders. The episode examines how neuromelanin, a dark pigment, not only absorbs all frequencies of light but also has antioxidant properties, binds metals, and acts as a neuroprotector. This discussion leads into the broader implications of environmental signals, particularly light, on human biology, touching on how modern changes in light exposure might affect these conditions.We examine the role of tyrosine in the synthesis of neuromelanin and its derivatives like dopamine, which are crucial for neural function. We look at how deficiencies or imbalances in these pathways could lead to the symptoms observed in Autism and Parkinson's, including motor function issues. The conversation also covers the direct and indirect pathways in the basal ganglia, explaining how these pathways facilitate or inhibit movement, respectively, and how their dysfunction can manifest in the characteristic motor symptoms of both disorders. We also touch on the significance of thyroid function, particularly the roles of T3 and T4 hormones, in brain development and neuron health, tying these elements back to the overarching theme of energy loss and transduction in both Autism and Parkinson's.Autism and Parkinson's are a lack of, or a loss of, energy.Biological Energy: Quantum Mechanisms, Water, DHA, and NF-kB: https://youtu.be/2-IA_gunXbwDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skills, use "autism" for 10% discount athttps://thecognity.com0:00 Autism and Parkinson's; Basal Ganglia; Substantia Nigra; Neuromelanin; Internal Calculators2:15 Tyrosine; Chromophores; Aromatic Amino Acids3:50 Biological Energy; Mitochondria; Environmental Signals; Cytochrome C Oxidase; Autism Research Miss6:20 Deep Brain Stimulation6:48 Neuromelanin9:02 Reverse Engineer ATPase10:48 Tree Examples11:45 Hypoxia and loss of energy & dopamine12:26 Eyes, hair, & skin; RPE; efficiency & power; What is Light?13:58 Light; Information & Energy; electromagnetic; wave-particle duality; sunlight versus artificial light17:08 Thyroid; T3 & T4; Iodine18:31 Roles of T323:00 Loss of energy in the womb & Autism research25:00 Melanin + Water = Electrons26:40 Basal Ganglia; "Motivations" & Movements; Direct Pathway30:55 Indirect Pathway32:52 Go, No-Go; Action selection, learning & habits; fine motor skills34:18 Parkinson's and loss of timing & energy; modulating the two pathways & dopamine37:07 Reviews/Ratings & contact infoX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

In this episode of Food for Thought, we're separating fact from fear when it comes to omega-3s, omega-6s, and seed oils. I share what I've learned from testing my own Omega-3 Index, what the results mean, and how I'm adjusting my diet and supplements for both heart and brain health.We'll talk about why omega-6s aren't inherently bad, how to bring balance back through whole foods and direct EPA/DHA sources, and why testing (not guessing) is the key to optimizing your health.If you've ever wondered whether you're getting enough omega-3s—or if all those seed oil headlines have left you confused—this episode is for you.This podcast is listener-supported.

In this episode, I share why I've been off mainstream media (and feel calmer, clearer, and more engaged), how I stay informed on my terms, and what the Tao Te Ching and Stoicism taught me about hope that does the work. We'll look at the “doom loop,” why outrage isn't engagement, and how to channel energy into real life—voting, volunteering, showing up for people you love—without pretending everything's fine. Along the way, I unpack a Tao passage that once infuriated me (“You can't improve the world”) and how it ultimately freed me: the world is imperfect—and we make it better anyway.

You may not know this, but I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan—both the novels and the film—and this episode springs from one of the most powerful lines in both the books and the movies. When the world feels heavy—politics, climate, cruelty—that sentence brings me back to what I can actually choose: my response to it all.I also share some of my favorite thoughts from one of my favorite Stoic philosophers that align with that concept.Time will pass anyway. How do we want to spend it?

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Jim LaValle, a clinical pharmacist and certified clinical nutritionist, detailing cholesterol's importance and its implications for cardiovascular health. 

September is Cholesterol Education Month. In this episode of Intelligent Medicine, Jim LaValle, a clinical pharmacist and certified clinical nutritionist, details cholesterol's importance and its implications for cardiovascular health. He delves into the nuances of cholesterol types, the historical shifts in perceptions of cholesterol, and how dietary and lifestyle factors influence cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk. Jim provides expert insights into the roles of LDL and HDL cholesterol, the significance of cholesterol particle size, the impact of carbohydrates on cholesterol, and the benefits of aged garlic extract and other supplements. The conversation emphasizes the importance of comprehensive lipid testing, understanding individual risk factors, and integrating both lifestyle modifications and, when necessary, medications into cardiovascular preventive strategies. The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of health policies and the future of integrative health approaches.

In this updated episode of Food for Thought—Omega-3s: Skip the Fish, Boost Your Brain (and Get Enough!)—we talk about these incredibly important fatty acids that are vital for brain, heart, mood, eye, and overall health. You've probably heard recommendations to eat fish to get your omega-3 fats, but listen to understand exactly what these fats are—and why skipping the middle fish is beneficial.What's also essential is getting an amount of omega-3s that truly protects your brain, heart, and other organs. The best way to know if you're getting enough is to test. I share my own story—testing my Omega-3 Index (and my husband's), learning we were low, increasing our intake, and testing again. In the episode, I share the results with you and encourage you to test yourself!In this episode, we cover:* Why omega-rich plant foods (like flax seeds and walnuts) are great for many reasons but limited when it comes to converting ALA into EPA and DHA.* How and why to skip the fish and get your omega-3s where the fish get them (i.e. algae).* What the Omega-3 Index is—what it measures, how to test it (including at home), and why it's not on standard panels.

We're continuing the protein conversation I started in Are You Getting Enough Protein? (Part One and Part Two). In those episodes, I unpacked why amino acids from plant and animal sources are identical, why the RDA is just a minimum, and why being intentional about protein matters as we level up in age and fitness.Paid subscribers enjoy printable resources and my recipe for Homemade Seitan, so join the club today!In this episode,* I explain why “lean protein” really means plants.* I show why plant protein being “less concentrated” is actually a feature, not a bug.* I share why the protein-to-calorie ratio is such a helpful measurement, especially if your goal is fat loss and muscle gain.* I focus on plant foods that are both protein-rich and practical to eat (spoiler: I'm not eating 5 tablespoons of spirulina a day).* I parse out the 4 categories of protein-rich plant foods:*

Language doesn't simply describe reality—it shapes how we see it, how we feel about it, and whether we act. The words we use around climate aren't neutral: they can spark urgency, create fatigue, or open the door to hope.Research shows that familiar terms like climate change and global warming elicit more urgency and willingness to act than newer, heavier terms like climate crisis or climate emergency.In this episode of Food for Thought, I explore which words inspire, which ones backfire, and how choosing clearer, calmer language can move people toward solutions.(A written version of this episode can be found at colleenpatrickgoudreau.com)

If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, I encourage you to start there—we covered the basics of protein: what it is, how it functions in the body, why plant and animal amino acids are identical, and why the RDA is just the minimum.In Part 2, I talk about what's shifted for me now that I'm at Level 55 (a language reframe I now love for “aging”), and why I had to “level up” when it came to both strength training and protein intake. Here's what I share:* Why my perspective on protein has deepened—not because I'm vegan, but because I'm 55, post-menopausal, and also highly active* The game-changing role of resistance training (and why lifting heavier is essential as we age)* Why peri- and post-menopausal women—and older men—need more protein to counter muscle loss and support bone health* Practical ways to hit daily targets* The results I've experienced since increasing my protein and lifting heavier

Send us a textWelcome back to the Team Room for another unapologetically savage drop of truth. Peaches tears into the Pentagon's new “Pete & Bobby Fitness Challenge,” part of the grand Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign—where SecDef Hegseth and RFK Jr. prove that apparently half the DoD still can't do a proper push-up. We hit the big headlines—warships flexing off Venezuela, the Air Force quietly firing its Chief of Staff, and Space Force building radars that can probably track the screw you lost in your garage.Expect rants on admin stupidity (keyboard warriors unite), the circus of leadership turnover, and why “fitness initiatives” look more like Instagram highlight reels than actual standards.

For decades, U.S. dietary guidelines have linked “protein” with animal products. Even as the visuals evolved—from the “Basic Four” to the Food Pyramid to MyPlate—the message stuck: protein means meat.But protein isn't a food group at all. It's a macronutrient made of amino acids—the building blocks your body uses to build muscle, repair tissue, produce enzymes and hormones, and support immune health. And here's the thing: your body doesn't care if those amino acids come from lentils or chicken. They're identical at the molecular level.So why does animal protein still get the reputation for being “better”? And what does the science actually say about how much protein we need—and from what sources?In this episode, I talk about:* How U.S. dietary guidelines shaped our view of protein — and why many still think “protein” means “meat”* How protein functions in the body, what amino acids are, and why plant and animal amino acids are identical* Why the RDA for protein is a minimum, not necessarily optimal, especially as we age or increase activity* What top plant-based nutrition experts recommend for daily protein intake and how it compares to the RDA* How protein needs change with age, activity level, and life stage* Why I've doubled my own protein intake — and the results I've seenWhether you're in your 20s or your 80s, plant-based or not, active or just getting started, understanding protein is key to thriving long-term. And yes, you can do it 100% with plants.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the biology and psychology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and discuss both prescription and non-prescription treatment options. I discuss the neural circuits involved in attention and concentration, emphasizing dopamine's role in regulating and coordinating focus. I explain how common prescription stimulants like Ritalin, Adderall, and Modafinil act on the brain to treat ADHD, and discuss non-drug approaches, including supplements and behavioral training to support focus. The episode offers tools and insights beneficial not only for those with ADHD but for anyone seeking to improve attention and focus. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
