Have you heard about people buying weight loss medications from unregulated sources online? The rise of black market weight loss drugs is putting lives at risk. In this episode, I discuss the concerning trend of people purchasing Retatrutide—a medication still in clinical trials—through illegal channels. Known as the "Godzilla Jab" for its potential power, early studies suggest this drug could help people lose up to 24% of their body weight. I explain what Retatrutide is and how it compares to FDA-approved medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro. We explore why people take dangerous risks with black market drugs, from social media hype to cost concerns and access issues. Most importantly, I share the serious health and legal risks of buying unregulated medications and provide clear guidelines for safely accessing weight loss treatments through licensed providers. Tune in to learn how to protect yourself and make informed decisions about weight loss medications the safe way.   Episode Highlights: What is Retatrutide The dangers of purchasing unregulated medications online Factors driving people to illegal sources Legal risks of buying unapproved drugs and potential health complications from unregulated substances Safe Medication Practices Understanding that medication works best when combined with healthy eating, physical activity, adequate rest, and emotional support   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

John Batchelor is the host of the Friends of History Debating Society. He broadcasts from New England, where he is currently entering autumn, contrasting with Jeremy Zakis's springtime in New South Wales. He refers to Jeremy Zakisas his "good mate." Batchelor often guides the conversation with Jeremy Zakis, asking about: Dallas and the bird collection, noting Dallas's role as a "social worker" or "foreign affairs" diplomat. He initiates the discussion by asking about the "bird collection" and if it has "changed its order of battle." Batchelor notes that discussing springtime with Jeremy is "far more interesting" than preparing his own garden for winter's colder days. He also discusses python sightings, specifically mentioning a photograph of two pythons battling on a library roof on the Sunshine Coast, questioning if such an event is ordinary for an urban area. He emphasizes that he is in New England, in the "northern temperate zone," while Jeremy Zakis is in the "southern temperate zone."

The Emmys hit Sunday September 14 and on this episode of The Rehashables we are loaded with takes. We gush about Nate Bargatze hosting, run category by category, and make bold but lovable picks. The Studio to headline comedy with Seth Rogen vs Jason Segel for Lead Actor, Jean Smart and Jessica Williams lurking, Brian Cranston and Zoe Kravitz for those scene stealing cameos. On drama we are backing Severance to sweep, show love to Andor, size up White Lotus, Paradise, The Pit, Diplomat, and Slow Horses. Limited Series race is Adolescence vs The Penguin, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti get flowers, and teen phenom Owen Cooper is our "dont overthink it" pick. We close with watchlist fuel HBOs Task, Alien: Earth, Peacemaker Season 2, Netflix's Unknown Sender Catfish, and a quick Stephen King detour The Long Walk. Football all day, Emmys all night, lets argue.

They came for a thrill. One night before Halloween. What they found still haunts them. This terrifying true story of a group of friends sneaking into the infamous Diplomat Hotel on Dominican Hill is not your average haunted house legend. What happened on October 30, 2003, is something darker, deeper—and chillingly unforgettable. Located in the fog-laced mountains of Baguio City, the Diplomat Hotel has long been known as one of the most haunted places in the Philippines. Built in 1913 as a monastery, it later became a site of wartime atrocities during World War II, before reopening as a hotel in the 1970s. But its darkest energies never left. On this night, eight friends climbed over barbed wire, slipping past chained gates and silent guards. They expected a scare, maybe a legend to laugh about. But what they found was a shadow that latched onto one of them, a group of ghostly strangers praying by a fountain, and a phone that vanished—only to reappear buried beneath a haunted tree. They saw a priest with unblinking eyes, heard a broken voice scream “DON'T”, and witnessed a silhouette too tall to be human. One girl collapsed in tears. Another boy felt a weight settle on him—one the guard would later see peel off his back and leap back into the dark. And what about the strangers? The ones with candles, lips moving in prayer? They never appeared again. The guard never saw them. It was as if they were never real… or never alive. The real haunting of the Diplomat Hotel isn't in its ghost tours or tourist photos. It's in the stories that refuse to fade, in the real encounters, in the laughter that comes from empty windows, in the shadows that follow people home. This is a true paranormal experience. Caught in real time. Witnessed by multiple people. And part of a legacy that has only grown darker with time. If you ever visit the Diplomat Hotel, remember: some ghosts don't want to be seen. Others are watching you before you even step inside. #DiplomatHotel #RealGhostStories #HauntedPlaces #BaguioGhosts #TrueHaunting #ParanormalExperience #ShadowPeople #GhostCaughtOnCamera #HauntedPhilippines #AbandonedHotel #UrbanExploration #GhostStory Love real ghost stories?

On 2nd or 3rd September 1507, Thomas Savage, Archbishop of York, died at Cawood Castle in Yorkshire. Savage wasn't just a churchman — he was one of Henry VII's most trusted servants, a skilled diplomat, and a powerful royal official in the turbulent north of England. In this video, I uncover his remarkable story: - His family connections to the influential Stanley clan - His education at Oxford, Bologna, and Padua - His rise from royal chaplain in 1485 to Archbishop of York in 1501 - His role in negotiating Prince Arthur's marriage to Catherine of Aragon - His escort of Princess Margaret Tudor to Scotland for her historic marriage to James IV - His dangerous rivalry with the Earl of Northumberland - And his final years at Cawood Castle, with his body buried in York Minster and his heart laid to rest in Macclesfield Though not a household name today, Thomas Savage played a vital role in Tudor politics and diplomacy, and his career reminds us how powerful churchmen could be in shaping both the kingdom and the dynasty. Had you heard of Archbishop Thomas Savage before? Let me know in the comments!

Your liver could be silently struggling right now and the good news is, you can turn it around. In this episode, I dive deep into the topic of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, also known as fatty liver disease. I explain what it is, why the medical community updated the name, and why it matters for long-term health. I highlight who is most at risk, including people with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol and why the condition is often called a “silent disease” since many don't realize they have it. I also break down the potential dangers if it progresses, from inflammation to cirrhosis, and share the encouraging news that it's often reversible with lifestyle changes. My goal is to empower listeners to protect their liver and overall health with small, sustainable changes.  Take control of your health and tune in to this episode to learn how you can prevent, reverse, and protect your liver from fatty liver disease with simple, sustainable steps!   Episode Highlights: What MASLD is and why the name changed from NAFLD Why fatty liver disease is becoming more common and who's most at risk Signs, symptoms, and why it's often called a “silent disease” Potential complications, including inflammation, fibrosis, and cirrhosis How fatty liver is diagnosed through blood tests, imaging, or scans Lifestyle strategies to reverse or prevent progression  The role of managing diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure in protecting liver health FDA-approved medications such as Wegovy and others that may help in treatment Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Did you know that nearly one in three people with obesity may have fatty liver disease without even knowing it? In this episode, I talk about groundbreaking news in obesity and liver health, focusing on the FDA's recent approval of WeGovy to treat metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with moderate to advanced fibrosis. I share a personal story about a friend who once struggled with fatigue, abnormal liver tests, and fatty liver disease, highlighting how limited treatment options used to be. I explain what MASH is, why it's so serious, and how common it is, especially among people with obesity and metabolic syndrome.  Furthermore, I dive into the ESSENCE trial, which showed that WeGovy not only improved liver inflammation and scarring but in some cases even reversed the disease, all while emphasizing that it works best when combined with lifestyle changes like healthy eating and regular activity.  Don't miss this episode where I break down the latest breakthrough in liver and weight loss care that could change your health journey!   Episode Highlights: FDA approval of WeGovy for treating MASH with fibrosis The ESSENCE trial results showing improvements in liver health Understanding what MASH is and why it's so common Importance of combining medication with lifestyle changes Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Eine Affäre rund um einen Spitzendiplomaten sorgt in Österreich für Schlagzeilen. Der Mann im Außendienst soll über Jahre einen frauenfeindlichen Sado-Maso-Blog betrieben haben. Inzwischen ist er von seinem Posten als EU-Botschafter zurückgetreten. Aber hinter den Kulissen brodelt es weiter. Denn offenbar führte der Diplomat seinen Sado-Maso-Blog nicht nur privat, sondern auch während seiner Arbeitszeit – von Dienstgeräten aus. Genau dadurch könnte eine massive Sicherheitslücke entstanden sein, über die womöglich einer der größten Hacks in der Geschichte des österreichischen Außenministeriums möglich wurde. Intern sollen diese Vorwürfe längst bekannt gewesen sein. Trotzdem kam der Diplomat jahrelang ungeschoren davon. Warum? Gab es ein Netzwerk im Außenministerium, das ihn schützte? Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Interviewfolge von Inside Austria.

Im österreichischen Außenministerium brodelt es. Eine Affäre rund um einen Spitzendiplomaten sorgt dort für Schlagzeilen. Der Mann soll über Jahre einen frauenfeindlichen Sadomaso-Blog betrieben haben. Inzwischen ist er von seinem Posten als EU-Botschafter zurückgetreten. Aber hinter den Kulissen ist der Skandal längst noch nicht abgekocht. Denn offenbar führte der Diplomat seinen Sadomaso-Blog nicht nur privat, sondern auch während seiner Arbeitszeit – von Dienstgeräten aus. Genau dadurch könnte eine massive Sicherheitslücke entstanden sein. Eine Lücke, über die womöglich einer der größten Hacks in der Geschichte des Außenministeriums möglich wurde. Intern sollen diese Vorwürfe längst bekannt gewesen sein. Trotzdem kam der Diplomat jahrelang ungeschoren davon. Warum? Gab es ein Netzwerk im Außenministerium, das ihn schützte? Und warum kocht die Affäre ausgerechnet jetzt hoch – nachdem das Außenministerium von der liberalen Beate Meinl-Reisinger übernommen wurde? Kann sie sich in dem ÖVP-dominierten Ministerium überhaupt durchsetzen? In dieser Folge von "Inside Austria" erklärt Thomas Mayer, EU-Korrespondent und leitender Redakteur beim STANDARD, wie viel Macht der umstrittene Diplomat hatte – und welche Netzwerke im diplomatischen Dienst der Fall ans Licht bringt. Und Fabian Schmid, leitender Investigativredakteur, hat sich die angeblichen Sicherheitslücken im Ministerium angesehen. War wirklich ein Erotikblog das Einfallstor für einen der größten Hackerangriffe überhaupt?

Why does Trump insist on helping sex predators? First Jeffrey Epstein, then the Tates, then Diddy and now Tom Artiom Alexandrovich? The administration denies intervening to hustle the diplomat back to Israel after his arrest for soliciting a known minor for sex in Las Vegas over the weekend, but unnamed sources insist the Trump administration was involved and it is now unclear whether the filthy perp will ever face justice. Regardless, this behavior certainly fits Trump’s profile. After gaslighting and mocking his own base regarding the NON-release of the Epstein Files, it appears that a Democrat led effort to unveil the documents has succeeded as reported by Politico: “Officials with the Department of Justice have informed us that the Department will begin to provide Epstein-related records to the Oversight Committee this week on Friday” … The fight for justice continues despite the obvious attempts to thwart the efforts by this president and his administration.

Sometimes the most tempting quick fixes, like eating only one type of food, can actually set you back on your health journey. In this episode, I explored the viral TikTok trend known as the watermelon diet, breaking down why it may seem tempting but is ultimately risky and unsustainable. I shared a story about a friend who was pressured to try it and explained how social media can create unrealistic expectations and comparisons. While watermelon has health benefits like hydration, low calories, and vitamins, I highlighted the dangers of relying on it exclusively—nutrient deficiencies, loss of muscle mass, blood sugar spikes, digestive issues, and unsustainable weight loss. I emphasized that real progress comes from balance: eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods, staying consistent with healthy habits, moving in enjoyable ways, managing stress, and prioritizing rest. Most importantly, I reminded listeners to focus on their own journey, celebrate small wins, and not let social media dictate their worth.   Tune in to discover the truth behind viral diet trends and learn healthier, lasting ways to reach your goals.   Episode Highlights: The rise of the viral watermelon diet on social media Why extreme mono fruit diets are risky and unsustainable Health benefits of watermelon in moderation Nutrient deficiencies and health risks linked to the diet The role of comparison and pressure from social media Science-backed strategies for balanced, long-term weight loss Importance of mindset, consistency, and celebrating small wins Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

When we talk about the Violet Flame or transmutation of energy we are also talking about the loving energy of St. Germain. The Ascended Master Saint Germain, the Chohan of the seventh ray of freedom, mercy, transmutation, and ritual.  ALL rays and energy come from a source, but Saint Germain's mission is to teach seekers the science of divine alchemy and transmutation. Shifting energy from one form to another. CHANGE. He is said to sponsor all in transition and transformation, which is much of the world right now.  He is a master alchemist of the sacred fire who comes bearing the gift of the violet flame of freedom for world transmutation.Together with his twin flame, the ascended lady master Portia, the Goddess of Justice, he is the hierarch of the Aquarian age. He is the great sponsor of freedom's flame, while Portia is the sponsor of the flame of justice and opportunity. The name Saint Germain comes from the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning simply "Holy Brother."   As Chohan, or lord, of the seventh ray, Saint Germain initiates our souls in the science and ritual of transmutation through the violet flame. Saint Germain and Portia deliver to the people of God the dispensation for the seventh age and the seventh ray—the violet ray of freedom, justice, mercy, alchemy, and sacred ritual—a new life wave, a new civilization, a new energy.Diplomats, priests of the sacred fire, actors, writers, and defenders of freedom serve with Saint Germain on the seventh ray.What is the impact of this 7th ray and how do we as humans facilitate this Noble Rite of the Violet Flame.  Listen as Laurie shares the power of activation of the 7th ray and its importance during this time of change and transformation. Send us a textSupport the showThanks for listening - For questions or comments email Laurie at Laurie@yourlifecore.comInstagram @yourlifecore or Twitter @yourlifecore Facebook https://www.facebook.com/YourLifecoreWebsite www.yourlifecore.com

In Ice War Diplomat, Canadian diplomat Gary J. Smith gives his behind-the-scenes insight into the 1972 Summit Series at the height of tension during the Cold War. Caught between capitalism and communism, Canada and the Soviet Union, Smith shares stories from his first overseas assignment in Moscow where he opts for sports diplomacy, throwing off his embassy black tie and donning the blue-and-white sweater of the Moscow Maple Leafs. With unparalleled access to officials, coaches and players on both teams, Smith witnesses this unique and epic hockey series that has come to transcend time, becoming a symbol of the unity and clarity that sports can offer. Fifty years on, the 1972 Canadian-Soviet Hockey Series has gone down in history as a pivotal political event, changing the course of two nations and the world of hockey—the fascinating story in these pages will appeal to history and sports fans alike. As a young Canadian diplomat to the Soviet Union, and a life-long hockey enthusiast, Gary J. Smith played an integral role in organizing (and sometimes rescuing) the historical 1972 Summit Series. Following this career highlight, Smith's career spanned 30 years, taking from Israel to Lebanon, West Germany, Indonesia, and beyond. Now retired, Smith continues to consult and feature on documentaries, films and books about this iconic moment in global sports history. Image Credit: Canada. Department of Manpower and Immigration.
