Have you ever noticed that your energy is not consistent throughout the month? Some weeks you feel sharp, motivated, and on top of everything, and other weeks you feel exhausted, anxious, foggy, or completely wiped out. That is not random. That is hormones. In this episode, I walk you through how estrogen and progesterone impact your energy across your entire cycle and why understanding this changes everything. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. I break down what a typical 28 day cycle looks like and what your hormones are supposed to be doing at each phase. What we cover in this episode: • Why estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest during your period and why testosterone is actually the dominant hormone at that time • How rising estrogen after your period fuels motivation, focus, productivity, and natural energy • Why ovulation is often your peak energy, creativity, and confidence window when hormones are balanced • What progesterone is supposed to do after ovulation and why it should feel calming, grounding, and supportive • Why needing more rest, calories, and recovery in the second half of your cycle is normal • How basal body temperature changes after ovulation and what that tells us about progesterone • The difference between your ovulation window and your fertile window • Why energy crashes, anxiety, irritability, or feeling wired but exhausted are signs something is off • What estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency actually look like in real life • Why irregular cycles and unpredictable energy are not something you just have to live with I also explain the high hormone phase after ovulation and why this is the most important time to test hormones. This is when both estrogen and progesterone are present and your body has to process them properly. If you feel great one week and terrible the rest of the month, if PMS is intense, if ovulation feels painful or exhausting, or if your energy never feels predictable, those are all signs your hormones are not being produced or processed the way they should be. This is where hormone testing matters. Why I use DUTCH hormone testing: A DUTCH test allows us to see: • How much estrogen and progesterone you are actually producing • Whether you are ovulating and producing progesterone consistently • How your body is metabolizing and clearing hormones • Cortisol patterns that affect energy and burnout • Androgen levels, nutrient markers, and methylation Blood work can show hormone levels at a single moment, but it does not show functional patterns or how hormones are being used and cleared. DUTCH testing gives us the full picture. I share a real example of a woman who had done everything right. Clean eating, less caffeine, better sleep, no sugar, no alcohol, and still had terrible energy. Her DUTCH test showed exactly why her body could not make energy effectively. Once we saw the data, everything made sense. Numbers do not lie. Testing removes the guessing. Your energy should ebb and flow with your cycle, but it should still be manageable. Your hormones should not hold you back from living your life, working toward your goals, or feeling like yourself. If your hormones are interfering with your quality of life, it's time to test.

A very Merry Christmas and soon to be Happy New Year to all of you in the #TradeCrew and thank you for listening. This week on the HVAC R&D Podcast your host Rhydon Atzenhoffer, aka the Ramblin' Rhyno, had the pleasure to interview one of the creative titans of the HVAC industry, Ron Saunders. Decades of experience in the IAQ world saw Ron help to lead Fresh Aire UV to new heights during the Covid era IAQ boom during which he and his partners sold their company to Diversitech. Since then Ron has been working at finding and creating his next innovative products with DrainIV and the soon to be launched ProIAQ as well as partnering to open newly formed manufacturers rep agency AHR Sales in Florida. So sit back and strap in for what was a great conversation about the industry and many things to come. Enjoy the episode?
What if the motivation you need to reach your goals doesn't last because you don't know how to set your goals? We dig into the goal gradient effect and the surprising lesson from elite marathoners who don't stare at the finish line. That shift fuels engagement in careers, health, and creative projects. Then we tackle 3 research-backed changes with outsized payoff. First, swap leap goals for stretch goals so effort reliably becomes progress. Second, trade blind positive thinking for mental contrasting: vividly imagine the outcome, then list likely obstacles and your if-then responses. This lowers drama, speeds recovery, and keeps action steady when reality resists. Third, stop celebrating outcomes you can't control and start rewarding actions: reps, attempts, sessions, pitches, miles. Track what you do, learn from feedback, and adjust without shame. Mastery is built rep by rep, and momentum is a function of consistent starts. By the end, you'll have a practical framework to plan 2026 with fewer illusions and more traction: vision as compass, milestones within reach, sober plans for obstacles, and a daily system that reinforces action. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's mapping their year, and leave a quick review - it helps more curious people find these tools and start taking the next right step.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'WelcomeHappy Christmas Eve and welcome back to the podcast. This episode is a little different to what I normally share. It is not about strategy, numbers, growth plans, systems, team, or leadership. It is more reflective and personal, and I wanted to share something I have been exploring quietly for months.Episode SummaryThis week I am sharing a Christmas Eve reflection on something that has been quietly changing the way I work, lead, and live: the energy of my environment.I have been reading The Calm and Happy Home by Kirsty Gallagher, and it has made me much more aware of how my home, desk, clinic, and even my car can either support me or drain me. Clutter can feel like unfinished business, and when a space feels busy or chaotic, your nervous system is still responding even if you are not consciously thinking about it.I talk about starting small with decluttering, asking whether your space supports the person you are becoming, and focusing on flow rather than perfection. I also share a few things I have been experimenting with around feng shui, plus a reminder that getting help at home is not indulgent, it is strategic.Key TakeawaysEverything is energy, and your environment influences you more than you realise.Clutter is like unfinished business and it creates an energetic drag.Start small: one drawer, one surface, one cupboard that would instantly make you feel lighter.Ask yourself: Does this support the person I am becoming?Organisation is about flow and ease, not perfection.Fixing small annoyances removes friction and frees up capacity.Your desk is your command centre. What is in your eye line matters.Getting support (cleaner, help at home, VA) can be a strategic way to protect your energy.Episode SponsorToday's episode is sponsored by Jane, clinic management software and EMR.

Another lawsuit against generative AI company Perplexity for copyright infringement The New York Times has had enough, and they have filed a lawsuit in a New York Federal court. In October 2024, the Times sent a notice to stop accessing and using their content and then followed up with another notice this past July. Perplexity continues to ignore the warnings and a spokesperson for the company, Jesse Dwyer, said publishers have been suing new tech companies for a hundred years starting with radio, TV, the Internet and social media, but that has never worked out for them. I think this is a little bit different since AI pretty much takes the content directly from the publisher and publishes it for people to read. The Times is also including infringements for use of its videos, podcasts and images. The Times said in the lawsuit they are seeking damages, which at this point is unknown and injunctive relief which includes removing all of the Times content from Perplexity's products. This would be a major problem for Perplexity if they were to lose this case because the whole AI system pulls information from all across the web, and this would leave a big hole in the end result of Perplexity's information. The Times is not the only publisher suing Perplexity, other lawsuits have been filed by Dow Jones and the New York Post. If one company were to win in court that would be a major problem for AI companies like Perplexity. First it would set a precedent and other publishers would likely sue, it could also lead to less accurate information as there would be less sources to pull data from. Just when Apple corrected their major problems, it looks like there's a management drain Apple did a great job handling the proposed tariffs on its products, which would have devastated the company. Also, in court they managed to keep the $20 billion a year they receive from Google. But now, they seem to be fighting a management exit by some of their top executives. Over the last couple of weeks, it was announced that both their General Council and Head of Policy will be retiring next year. Another major concern was also announced in that timeframe that their Head of Artificial Intelligence and Strategy is also going to retire. Making matters worse, their Chief Operating Officer said he'll be retiring in July of next year. Don't worry about CEO Tim Cook being age 65, he said he is not considering retirement, and people at the company said he is not slowing down at all. It was also recently announced that Meta has taken from Apple a top designer named Alan Dye. Also Jony Ive, who is a Steve Jobs protégé and helped build the iPhone along with the Apple Watch, is heading over to OpenAI to help Sam Altman. It's not just the top people leaving though as apparently dozens of Apple engineers along with designers who are knowledgeable in audio, watch design, robotics, and much more are also finding a new home at OpenAI. Running a major technology company like Apple and striving for new innovation makes it difficult when a company is losing top management and star engineers and designers. I don't think this will cause a major drop in the stock short term, but it could be difficult longer term for the company when it comes to innovation and new products, which could concern investors in the years to come! It's time to put some commercial property into your portfolio You may be questioning why would I put real estate like commercial property in my portfolio that over the last five years or so has had a return of maybe 7% versus stocks that have done much better? The simple answer is the basic investing principle of buying low and selling high. Looking forward, I believe commercial real estate over the next five years should get better returns than artificial intelligence considering the fact that it is very pricey. Data from MSCI revealed that year to date large investors have purchased $4.6 billion more US commercial property than they sold. That is the first time that has happened in three years, and deal activity is still low compared to history. US commercial real estate values are off from the peak in 2022 and are now down on average around 17%. Looking just at commercial offices, there is a better discount considering there are down around 36% from their peak. History shows this could be a very good opportunity. There's only been two times over the last roughly 50 years or so when commercial property prices were down more than 10%. You have to go back to the early 1990s, which was about 35 years ago, and who could forget the 2008 great recession. How should you invest in office buildings and commercial property? The best and the easiest way is to use public real estate investment trusts, which are known as REITs. Please do not let your broker sell you private real estate of any sort so they can get paid a big commission. REITs that trade on the market are commission free and completely liquid unlike private real estate deals. With public REITs you can many times receive good investment yields between 4% and 6%. However, make sure to understand the fundamentals to insurethat dividend yield is safe. A history lesson shows that commercial property under performed from 1997 to 2000 when the tech boom was happening, but when the tech boom ended and went bust, commercial real estate did very well. Could the same thing happen now as there are signs that the AI rally could end? If you do invest in a good quality public real estate investment trust, you should have at least a 4 to 5 year time horizon to hold that investment. Financial Planning: The Benefits of Capital Gain Harvesting While many investors focus on tax-loss harvesting, harvesting capital gains can be just as valuable especially when you fall into the 0% long-term capital gains bracket. For example, in 2025 a married couple filing jointly can have taxable income up to $96,700 and still pay 0% on long-term gains. Because the standard deduction ranges from $31,500 to $46,700, and itemized deductions can be even larger, a household's total gross income can potentially exceed $150,000 while still remaining in the 0% capital gains bracket. If an investor wants to keep the same investment, they can immediately repurchase it, since wash-sale rules do not apply to gains. However, even though the gain itself is taxed at 0%, the added income may increase the taxation of Social Security benefits, pulling more of those benefits into taxable income. For those who don't face that issue, gain harvesting resets their cost basis and reduces the taxes they will owe later if they sell in a higher-income year when their capital gains rate jumps to 15% or even 20%. This strategy can also make sense for those currently in the 15% capital gains bracket who expect to be pushed into the 20% bracket later. Overall, capital-gain harvesting can be a powerful tool in years of temporarily low income. Companies Discussed: The Brink's Company (BCO), PVH Corp. (PVH), Pure Storage, Inc. (PSTG) & The Kroger Co.

If you think 2025 was a property boom, you’ve been lied to. Prices did rise — but not because Australia suddenly got richer, smarter or more confident. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin dismantles the popular boom narrative and explains why 2025 was really a policy-driven bottleneck that quietly rewarded a small group of prepared investors — while leaving many others exposed. Bushy breaks down how record-low listings, decade-low construction, surging migration and government-engineered price bands combined to create intense pressure in very specific parts of the market. The result? Some Australians made a year’s wage in equity without fanfare, while others chased hotspots, followed influencers, and overpaid for the wrong property in the wrong location — often without realising it yet. In this solo episode, Bushy reveals the three real forces that pushed prices higher even as affordability hit rock bottom, why 2025 was never an “equal boom”, and how national policy settings funnelled buyers into the same narrow price band — creating artificial competition in so-called “affordable” markets. He also revisits his proven 3 I’s (Infrastructure, Incomes, Industry) and 3 P’s (People, Property, Position) framework, showing why fundamentals — not FOMO — explained where growth actually occurred. Most importantly, Bushy outlines why strategy must come before location, and why borderless analysis paired with strong local execution is the smarter way to invest. Stick with Bushy to the end and you’ll walk away with a clear, practical three-step checklist you can use before buying anything in 2026 — because next year isn’t about prediction, it’s about positioning. This episode is essential listening for investors who want to live by design, not by default.

His huge steel sculptures have graced Black Rock City for decades, then found forever homes in cities, festivals, and private collections around the world.Hear veteran structural sculptor Michael Christian go deep and wide about his Burning Man art, from a Bone Arch to a 65-foot tall tower.He shares about his installation "Down the Drain," a commentary on human alignment or misalignment... or maybe it's about toilets blowing kisses at each other! He talks with Stuart about the shift from a "lone artist" mindset to community collaboration, and how to get everything done despite a storm or a lost box of bolts. They tinker with the qualities of hubris and humility. They get real about why they keep returning to the collective happening in the dust.How does he follow intuition more than a thesis? How does he discover the meaning of his art only after he has built it? How did ‘out of the box' thinking become a 30 year career?

In the quest for better water quality, farmers and city residents share a vital common goal: protecting our shared water resources by managing runoff. Host Jamie Duininck speaks with Ann Zawistoski and Sophie Wicklund of the Adopt-a-Drain program to draw a direct line between agricultural and urban water management practices. Just as farmers use practices like buffer strips, bioreactors, and controlled drainage to minimize nutrient loss, our “city cousins" clean their local storm drains to prevent urban pollutants like leaves and debris from entering waterways.Adopt-a-Drain empowers the public to take responsibility for stormwater management, recognizing that urban stormwater runoff is a major source of water pollution. The program encourages residents to adopt a storm drain near their home and clean it just twice a month. This simple, hands-on approach transforms the public's understanding of their impact on the watershed, leading to broader behavioral changes. The collective results prove the power of individual action, with over 30,000 adopted drains and nearly one million pounds of debris removed across the country. Tune in to discover the powerful parallels between urban and agricultural water quality practices and how community engagement is successfully working toward clean water for everyone.Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:36 Adopt-a-Drain Guest Introductions01:57 The Urban Stormwater Challenge04:00 How the Adopt-a-Drain Program Works05:40 Nearly 1 Million Pounds of Debris Removed06:35 Behavior Change07:50 Adopt-a-Drain's Origins and Inspiration10:52 Why Small, Frequent Cleanings Make a Big Difference13:56 Engaging Participants Year-Round15:53 Funding and Partnerships19:42 The Parallels to Ag Water Management25:39 Expanding the MovementRelated Content:#138 | Set It & Forget It...

The etcd project — a distributed key-value store older than Kubernetes — recently faced significant challenges due to maintainer turnover and the resulting loss of unwritten institutional knowledge. Lead maintainer Marek Siarkowicz explained that as longtime contributors left, crucial expertise about testing procedures and correctness guarantees disappeared. This gap led to a problematic release that introduced critical reliability issues, including potential data inconsistencies after crashes.To rebuild confidence in etcd's correctness, the new maintainer team introduced “robustness testing,” creating a framework inspired by Jepsen to validate both basic and distributed-system behavior. Their goal was to ensure linearizability, the “Holy Grail” of distributed systems, which required developing custom failure-injection tools and teaching the community how to debug complex scenarios.The team later partnered with Antithesis to apply deterministic simulation testing, enabling fully reproducible execution paths and easier detection of subtle race conditions. This approach helped codify implicit knowledge into explicit properties and assertions. Siarkowicz emphasized that such rigorous testing is essential for safeguarding the sensitive “core” of large open source projects, ensuring correctness even as maintainers change.Learn more from The New Stack about the etcd projectTutorial: Install a Highly Available K3s Cluster at the Edge Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

In this week's mixtape rewind, we go back a couple of years to when Matt and Sam did a deep dive into music supergroups.Imagine loading a playlist where legends keep walking through the door. That's the ride we built as we dive into supergroups that actually deliver, from the crunch of Audioslave and the finesse of Cream to the indie cohesion of Boygenius and the pure joy of the Traveling Wilburys. We chase the central mystery behind these collaborations: when distinct sounds collide, what holds, what changes, and why does it matter?We start with the gravitational pull of great voices. Chris Cornell gives Audioslave immediate identity while Tom Morello adds that unmistakable edge, and Maynard James Keenan turns A Perfect Circle into a masterclass in mood without copying Tool. Then we test chemistry in the engine room: Chickenfoot fires up old-school rock craftsmanship, and Them Crooked Vultures stretch grooves into cinematic builds powered by Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and John Paul Jones. For a genre swerve, Mount Westmore brings bass and swagger with Snoop, Too Short, E-40, and Ice Cube trading bars like it's a victory lap.Contrast keeps the mix alive. Wild Flag threads surfy drums with indie bite, and Boygenius shows how three solo voices can trade lead without crowding the song. Prophets of Rage fuse protest and power, pulling rap and rock tight around a sharp social focus, while The Highwaymen remind us that sometimes the most classic move—four giants trading verses—still lands hardest. And to cap it all, the Traveling Wilburys prove that when Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty decide to have fun, the hooks practically write themselves.Be Yourself by AudioslaveBig Subwoofer by MOUNT WESTMOREWhite Room by CreamDown the Drain by ChickenfootElephants by Them Crooked VulturesRomance by WILD FLAGPassive by A Perfect CircleBruised by The BensLiving on the 110 by Prophets of RageHighwayman by HighwaymanSatanist by boygeniusWilbury Twist by The Traveling Wilburys Support the showVisit us at https://www.superawesomemix.com to learn more about our app, our merchandise, our cards, and more!

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with Jeff Ponce, Senior Product Manager at RectorSeal, about Clear Drain PVC and the science behind better condensate management. Jeff explains how traditional PVC drain lines develop clogs caused by bacteria and biofilm buildup and how Clear Drain PVC solves this with a hydrophobic surface that prevents growth. They discuss why zinc is used in the product, how it creates a slippery surface instead of killing bacteria, and the research and development behind its creation. Jeff also shares how the product was first used in grocery store refrigeration systems in Europe and how it is now helping HVAC contractors prevent costly water damage and maintenance issues. This episode discusses the challenges HVAC technicians face with condensate drain management and how new technology can prevent common clogs. Jeff Ponce from RectorSeal explains how Clear Drain PVC was created to stop bacteria and slime from sticking inside pipes. He shares how the zinc mixed into the PVC fills tiny pores, creating a smooth, slippery surface that keeps drains clean. Jeff also talks about how the product was first used in grocery store refrigeration systems in Europe and later tested for HVAC use in the United States. His focus is on helping contractors reduce maintenance issues, prevent water damage, and keep systems running efficiently. Expect to Learn: How condensate drain problems start and why they cause major HVAC issues. Why do traditional PVC pipes allow bacteria and biofilm to grow inside? How Clear Drain PVC from RectorSeal prevents buildup with a smooth, hydrophobic surface. The role of zinc in creating a safer and more effective drain solution. How this technology was developed, tested, and proven in real-world HVAC and refrigeration systems.

Ever had a game session so draining that even your dice lose levels? In this episode, the RPGBOT crew resurrects one of D&D's most dreaded mechanics: energy drain, and the undead horrors that made it famous. From the White Box to Pathfinder 2e, Tyler, Randall, and Ash relive decades of pain, permanent debuffs, and emotional damage, all in the name of understanding why we're so glad energy drain is (mostly) dead. Grab your holy symbol, chug a potion, and prepare for a nostalgic necrotic nosedive. Join the RPGBOT Patreon If you want to keep your creative energy undrained, support the RPGBOT.Podcast on Patreon.

Join us today at patreon.com/rpgbot — and help keep our hit points (and our humor) at full strength. Show Notes The RPGBOT crew takes a dark, funny journey through the history of energy drain — one of tabletop RPGs' most punishing and misunderstood mechanics. Starting with OD&D's dreaded Wight, they trace how "losing levels" evolved across editions — from instant death in AD&D to hit point maximum reduction in D&D 5e and drained conditions in Pathfinder 2e. Along the way, Ash shares stories from her Ravenloft campaign, Tyler explains why undead needed to be terrifying, and Randall asks the eternal question: "Did anyone actually have fun with this rule?" Covered Topics: How energy drain first appeared in the OD&D White Box The connection between Wights, vampires, and permanent level loss Why AD&D and 3.5 made energy drain one of the most hated mechanics ever Pathfinder 1e and the dawn of "negative levels" D&D 5e's kinder, gentler approach — max HP reduction instead of level loss Pathfinder 2e's drained and doomed conditions, and how they replace energy drain The evolution of innervation and life drain spells How modern systems preserve undead flavor without destroying players' progress A philosophical question: Should tabletop games hurt this much? Plus: a tangent about Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and how much punishment is too much Mentioned Creatures & Mechanics: Wight, Vampire Spawn, Shadow, Ghoul, Varghoul Innervation / Enervation spell Negative levels, Hit Point Maximum reduction, Drained condition Resurrection penalties in 3.5e and Pathfinder 1e Afflictions, Fortitude saves, and Constitution death spirals Key Takeaways Energy drain began as a brutally punishing mechanic — losing levels in OD&D and AD&D could erase hours of play progress instantly. Pathfinder 1e softened the blow with temporary negative levels, while still terrifying players with math-heavy penalties. 5e and PF2 modernized the concept into simpler, narratively cleaner effects like HP maximum reduction or the drained condition. Undead identity survived — even as the math got easier, the flavor of losing your vitality to a vampire or wight remained iconic. Players prefer tension over punishment. Modern systems preserve danger without making players rage-quit. Energy drain mechanics reflect evolving design philosophy — from simulationist suffering to storytelling sustainability. DM takeaway: Make undead scary through story and tension, not through math that kills fun.

When the internet was created, the goal was the free-flowing of shared information for the good of humanity; what resulted was much more sinister than that. How do you love the Lord your God with all your strength if you spend too much time on the internet looking and experiencing things that sap your strength? That fills you with filth, that plagues you with guilt and shame. Living in this world makes it impossible to Love God to the fullest. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy; Jesus came to bring life so we can live it to the fullest. Does your internet surfing lead to life or death? Stop Ignoring the dangers of the internet at work and home and put some digital armor in place like a safe internet VPN with Web filters and anti-virus and protect your strength.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com If I sit here and talk about all the people I have prayed for and have seen healed, people God has given me words of knowledge for, people I have led to Christ… it can make you think I am bragging…Hold that thought. *if we were sitting in a group and I told you about all the weight I lost and showed off my abs…what would you think? **what if I was sharing about all my exploits in war and all the men and women I saved and the battles I was in. ****What if I told you how much I benched, squatted deadlifted… **-**-**What if I told you about all the times I tithed and didn't have money to tithe but I did, and how God has blessed me and how important it is to tithe…. ***what If told you about all the stories about my kids (Would these conversations irk you, bother you, fire you up, bore you?) THE RESPONSE GIVEN BY INDIVIDUALS IN ANY OF THESE SITUATIONS DEPENDS ON THE CIRCLE I AM IN. - If im at a weight watchers you would get excited and marvel - If I was at a Vietnam vet reunion - If Im sitting at Westside Barbell you would all add your own stories and think cool… no but no biggy - If Im with other business people, groups of entrepreneurs who all have sacrificed and seen God bless them… fire us up - with other parents, we would laugh and share pictures and stories Are there circles that make you uncomfortable?
