Trepanation, voluntary eunuchs, and other things to never try at home. Nick Pell cuts through the crackpot science here on Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1369On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The oldest surgery on Earth: How humans spent 7,000 to 10,000 years drilling holes in skulls — and why survival rates reached 40 percent, climbing as high as 78 percent in some pre-modern European populations, rivaling the best of early modern Europe.When the ancients got it right: Why trepanation was sometimes sound medicine — relieving deadly pressure from a brain bleed — even as it was also used to release evil spirits, treat epilepsy and migraines, or mark warriors and shamans in rites of passage.The modern movement's quack roots: What drives voluntary trepanation today traces to Dutch pseudo-doctor Bart Huges, who drilled his own skull chasing a "higher consciousness" — a theory with zero evidence and a mortality rate north of 25 percent.DIY castration and the men behind it: How thousands of voluntary eunuchs and unlicensed "cutters" operate outside medicine, and why researchers tie the drive to body integrity dysphoria, sexual fetish, and the elusive pursuit of total "eunuch calm."How separating crackpot theory from real science comes down to asking what the evidence actually shows, respecting bodily autonomy without romanticizing harm, and consulting a mental health professional before anything irreversible.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His second choice, first released in December 2019, is the history and social impact of coffee. From its origins in Ethiopia, coffea arabica spread through the Ottoman Empire before reaching Western Europe where, in the 17th century, coffee houses were becoming established. There, caffeinated customers stayed awake for longer and were more animated, and this helped to spread ideas and influence culture. Coffee became a colonial product, grown by slaves or indentured labour, with coffea robusta replacing arabica where disease had struck, and was traded extensively by the Dutch and French empires; by the 19th century, Brazil had developed into a major coffee producer, meeting demand in the USA that had grown on the waggon trails.WithJudith Hawley Professor of 18th Century Literature at Royal Holloway, University of LondonMarkman Ellis Professor of 18th Century Studies at Queen Mary University of LondonAndJonathan Morris Professor in Modern History at the University of HertfordshireProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Brian Cowan, The Social Life of Coffee: The Emergence of the British Coffeehouse (Yale University Press, 2005)Benoit Daviron and Stefano Ponte, The Coffee Paradox: Global Markets, Commodity Trade and the Elusive Promise of Development (Zed Books, 2005)Markman Ellis, The Coffee House: A Cultural History (Orion, 2004)Ralph Hattox, Coffee and Coffeehouses: The Origins of a Social Beverage in the Medieval Near East (University of Washington Press, 1985)Jonathan Morris, Coffee: A Global History (Reaktion, 2018)Mark Prendergast Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed our World (Basic Books, 2010)Claudia Roden, Coffee (Faber, 1977)William Clarence Smith and Steven Topik (eds.), The Global Coffee Economy in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, 1500-1989 (Cambridge University Press, 2003)William H.

You've been told your whole life that your condition is genetic, that it runs in your family, and you're stuck managing it forever, but I'm telling you that with rare exceptions, we don't inherit disease at all. What we inherit is an inability to refine a raw material, which creates a deficiency, and that deficiency is what shows up as the symptom you've been calling a disease. Find what your body can't make on its own, put it back, and watch what happens.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARYS VIP!: ⁠https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg⁠ Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKpCYMBIOTIKA: "BRECKACYM30" FOR 30% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn SNOOZE: LET'S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8⁠ Podcasts: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RQftU0⁠ Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo⁠X: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://bit.ly/464VA1H⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2⁠ Website: ⁠https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU⁠ Merch: ⁠https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1⁠ Newsletter: ⁠https://bit.ly/47ejrws⁠ Ask Gary: ⁠https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG⁠ Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 01:04 - Gary takes the stage 02:39 - Going back to the basics of human physiology 04:22 - The two bold promises and mortality data 05:04 - Why life insurers predict death to the month 06:03 - The myth that disease is genetically inherited 08:11 - Reading deficiencies: tired, sore, brain fog, anxiety 09:53 - Circadian rhythm and bookending your sleep 12:11 - Fasting as a jet lag superpower 13:16 - Live breath work session 16:58 - The second bold promise 17:53 - The methylation chart explained 19:18 - MTHFR and the anxiety-gut link 22:27 - Homocysteine, creatine, and methyl donors 25:31 - Why targeted supplementation beats random stacks 26:22 - Reading a supplement label for cofactors 28:41 - The genetic methylation test 30:06 - Q&A: fibroids, insulin resistance, the Dutch test 33:03 - Q&A: LDL, triglycerides, and Lp(a) 39:58 - Q&A: high cortisol and hormone ratios 43:58 - Q&A: Hashimoto's, the Dutch test, and the COMT gene 47:18 - Q&A: Asperger's and mood numbness 51:18 - Q&A: anaphylaxis and mast cell activation 57:20 - Q&A: vitiligo and red light therapy 59:59 - Q&A: low T3, the liver, and selenium 1:05:28 - Q&A: IBS and the pace of the gut Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

Although the Loire Valley is most famous for the famous for the Sauvignon Blancs of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé (especially after Taylor Swift drove tons of people to buy Sancerre – thank you Taylor!), there is a white grape that has a longer and more prestigious history in the Loire --  Chenin Blanc is the true star this region! Map: Loire Valley Wines Along the longest river in France, Chenin can make every style of wine on a diversity of terroir. As part of my series on the greatest wine regions of the world, Chenin must be featured. And three regions of Middle Loire Valley showcase the greatness of this grape in all styles: Vouvray, Savennières, and Quarts de Chaume.   In Touraine, Vouvray has a long history for making every style imaginable of Chenin. Since Roman times, wines have been made in this region and since the Middle Ages, the area has produced top drawer Chenin Blanc that caught the eye of everyone from Dutch traders to French royalty to the bourgeois. Today more than 50% of what is made is sparkling wine, but Vourvray also produces every style from bone-dry(sec) to very sweet (sec). In the show I talk about how this region can make such a variety of Chenin styles.   The other two great regions for Chenin Blanc are west of Touraine in Anjou. The styles couldn't be more diverse in this section of the Loire. Savennières, grown on schist, produces the region's best dry Chenin, with excellent fruit, minerality, and a multitude of other interesting aromas and flavors, which I describe.   In the Coteaux du Layon, the grand cru of Quarts de Chaume produces Chenin's most celebrated sweet wines. Special conditions make it possible for Botrytis to develop most years and, although they have been celebrated for centuries, these wines are some of the least known, yet best sweet wines that exist in today's wine world.   These are wines you need to know about (and try!). They are truly some of the greatest wines in the world and certainly the most prestigious of the Loire Valley.   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________ CHECK OUT MY NEW SPONSOR!!!  This show is brought to you by my NEW exclusive sponsor, Grapes the Wine Company – an actual brick and mortar store located in White Plains, New York that has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most influential wine retailers in America.

Decades after walking away from trance, the superstar DJ unpicks the machinery behind his own brand, and what a career spent at the top actually costs. Tiësto has been one of the biggest DJs in the world for the better part of 30 years. Since the '90s, the Dutch artist has been part of an elite inner circle who dominate major festival bills, residencies in Ibiza and Las Vegas, and command some of the most astronomical fees in the industry. Even if he isn't part of your regular listening diet, you've almost certainly heard his music on the radio or pouring out of bars and clubs around the world. It's easy to forget, though, that he made his name in trance—a genre he publicly walked away from more than a decade ago, saying he'd done what he wanted with it and wouldn't be going back. As of this summer, he's finally changed his mind, announcing his return with a set at Silverworks Island in London. In this Exchange, he talks about being inspired by the new wave of trance DJs and the artists putting a modern twist on the genre. He also reflects on the years before Tiësto was Tiësto: cleaning club bathrooms, selling records to Jeff Mills as a young store clerk, producing gabber under a secret alias and being inspired to take up DJing after seeing Sven Väth play live. Listen to the episode in full.

What do you actually put in a Dutch school lunch box? Parents at an Amsterdam school sent in 11 photos of their children's real lunch and snack boxes, and children's nutritionist Mélody goes through three of them with us — what's working, what a child's body genuinely needs to get through a school day, and what she'd change.This one is for you whether your child starts school next week starts next month, or next year. We cover what balance actually means across a week rather than in a single box, why the Dutch fruitpauze does more work than parents realise, why the water-only rule at most Dutch schools is a support rather than a restriction, and whether the classic broodje kaas is nutritionally fine. Spoiler: it is.We also talk about what happens when your food culture doesn't match the Dutch one — warm lunches versus sandwiches — and what to do when your child comes home asking for the same thing everyone else has. Plus three staples for the morning you have five minutes, why children under five shouldn't have nuts, and Melody's three professional permission slips for parents carrying too much already.All 11 lunch boxes are on our Instagram, @damparentingpodcast. Part of DAM Parenting's August back-to-school series for international and expat families in the Netherlands.

What's more British than the British royal family? More Spanish than the Spanish Monarchs? More Norse than the King of Norway? Well, a lot of things actually. In fact, nearly all of the 10 remaining hereditary monarchs of Europe have more German DNA than they do local. For centuries, royals almost exclusively married other, foreign royals. They rarely mixed their blue blood with people native to the Kingdoms they ruled over. What's more, when dynasties died out (often from excessive inbreeding) foreign royal houses put their own seconds sons on the throne, establishing new, entirely alien dynasties. Modern royal families try to brand themselves as throughly native and in touch with the common people. And if they ever spit into a test tube and sent it off for a DNA test, they would probably never publish the results. But, by looking back at their family trees, we can get a pretty good idea of their heritage. Last week we explore the heritage of the reigning families of Belgium, Denmark Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco and Norway. Today we'll analyze the DNA of the Dutch, Spanish, Swedish and British royal families. Plus we'll compare them all to see which modern monarchy has the most local DNA; and find out why the royals of Europe are all so German. Royal family of The Netherlands - Dutch royal family Royal family of Spain - Spanish Royal family Royal family of Sweden - Swedish royal family Royal family of The United Kingdom - British Royal family Why are the royals so German? Which royal families are the most German? Which royal families are the most local?

In Episode 25, GOALS: Rice Cracker Range Day, ARDREW, DAN, Gat Lab, and guest Dutch try to piece together their Des Moines trip. They linger on One Horse risking it all with factory forced-reset triggers, then get completely derailed by a West Virginia gunsmith who hands out rice crackers and builds a 6mm ARC that shoots tighter than their attention spans. Gat falls hard for the handmade Sea Spider suppressor so quiet that people kept talking through full magazines, while the rest of the crew bickers about empty tubes, crossbolt safeties, and every new can company claiming to have reinvented physics. A short, careful note about the recent NFA district-court ruling is quickly buried under media-day photos, vendor chats, and the usual awkward creator networking. By the end they're still baffled that ordinary shooters somehow walked away with media credentials and a PowerPoint full of range pictures.

Episode 1676: Nip Yuck

zRaleigh bikes, the future of Raleigh, Accell Group insolvency, British bicycle history, the Raleigh Chopper and the decline of iconic British brands are at the heart of this episode of Mark and Pete. Raleigh has been part of British life for well over a century, but now the famous Nottingham-born bicycle name faces a very uncertain future. Could Raleigh really disappear? And if it does, what exactly are we losing?For generations, Raleigh was simply the bicycle. Not a bicycle brand among many, but the bicycle you knew. Children wanted a Chopper, teenagers wanted something faster, adults rode Raleighs to work, to the shops and, quite often, into a hedge because bicycle brakes in those days seemed to regard stopping as more of a suggestion.Founded in Nottingham in the nineteenth century, Raleigh became one of the great names of British manufacturing. At its peak it was producing enormous numbers of bikes, exporting around the world and employing thousands of people. The Raleigh Chopper became a genuine cultural icon. Then there were the Grifter, the Burner, racing bikes, touring bikes and the sort of sensible three-speed machine your grandfather could ride while wearing a jacket and tie, apparently without breaking sweat.But the modern bicycle business is a very different beast.Raleigh is now part of the Dutch-owned Accell Group, which has run into serious financial trouble after years of debt, changing demand, excess stock and a post-pandemic bicycle market that has proved rather less buoyant than some investors had hoped. The result is insolvency proceedings, possible rescue bids and a deeply uncertain future for some famous cycling names.So we ask whether Raleigh can survive, and perhaps a more awkward question: when does an iconic British company stop really being British?If the factories have gone, the ownership has gone and production has moved elsewhere, does the badge still matter?We think it does.Brands such as Raleigh are part of the texture of ordinary British life. They carry memories with them. First bikes. Scraped knees. Christmas mornings. Cycling to school. And, yes, those magnificent Choppers with handlebars apparently designed by somebody who thought steering should involve upper-body exercise.This week we look back at Raleigh's extraordinary history, examine what has gone wrong and ask whether this really could be the end of the road for Raleigh.z

A calm and composed riding technique with a demeanour to match, are the attributes that have endeared Koby Jennings to many trainers in his fifteen year career. After spending the latter part of his apprenticeship in Sydney the heavyweight rider joined the fully fledged ranks knowing his opportunities would be restricted by weight. Nevertheless he rode winners consistently, earning the respect of some of Sydney's most astute trainers. Koby's CV is highlighted by wins in a Provincial Championship Final and a Golden Eagle. Two years ago he returned to his hometown of Traralgon and the winners have continued to flow across the region. He's currently taking a break from the sweat box and trying his hand as a businessman. He's on the podcast this week to bring us up to date. Koby begins by assuring us that he has no intention of abandoning his beloved thoroughbreds. In fact he's still riding regular trackwork. He talks of his association with Will Hayes who runs Lindsay Park's Pakenham stables.  Koby says it took an age for him to get any traction among the Victorian riding ranks when he relocated from Sydney two years ago.   The 31 year old outlines the reasons for his current absence from the race riding ranks. The heavyweight jockey talks about his acquisition of a Jim's Mowing franchise in Traralgon West. He looks forward to the challenge. Koby takes us back to his original apprenticeship to his late grandfather and the excitement of his first race ride. He says it took him a long time to crack it for that elusive first win. He reflects on that unforgettable day at Stony Creek. The jockey looks back on a loan-out to Darwin trainer Stephen Brown and an exciting eighteen months in the Top End. Also in Darwin was jockey Carl Spry who later got an opportunity in Canberra. Koby says he decided to go with Carl and was fortunate to get a start with trainer Mark Schmetzer who supported him admirably. He talks of a brief stint with the Jones/Joseph team in Canberra which preceded a move to Randwick trainer Kevin Moses. He talks of the valued tutorship from the former ace jockey.  Koby looks back on his chance meeting with a young Dutch girl who was working for Anthony Cummings at the same time. Koby and Nerissa are nowadays the proud parents of son Declan and daughter Riley. He looks back on time spent with Jim and Greg Lee in the latter stages of his apprenticeship.  He reflects on one special day towards the end of his junior term when he won four races for different stables at a Rosehill Gardens Saturday meeting. Koby talks of happy associations with several prominent stables, and pays tribute to the trainers in question. He looks back on a thrilling two year old win on the Gold Coast for trainer Nathan Doyle and a Calibre Syndication ownership group. Koby says his association with Doyle continued after his  move back to Victoria. The jockey looks back on his association with Bobbing, a horse who qualified for the Provincial Championship despite a serious setback. He looks back on the gelding's huge effort to win the $500,000 Final. He acknowledges the training performance by Bernie Kelly. Koby takes us through the “before and after” of his unexpected Golden Eagle win on Colette in the Godolphin colours.  He remembers two stakes wins on the John Sargent trained Luvaluva and a surprise trip to NZ to ride the mare in a Gr 1 event at Te Rapa. In a complete change of direction Koby talks of his passion for deep sea fishing and the fibre glass boat he treated like a prized thoroughbred. He looks back on fishing expeditions many kilometres from home base. He pays tribute to his trainer father Troy who's continuing to train a small team of horses despite ongoing health issues.  It's a nice yarn with a very disciplined  heavyweight jockey who hasn't squandered an opportunity in his fifteen years of race riding.  You can't help but get the feeling his career isn't over yet.

Failed IVF? Low AMH? High FSH? Told donor eggs?  Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next fertility decision → fabfertile.com After a failed cycle, the pressure to decide arrives fast. Another retrieval. A different protocol. A different clinic. Donor eggs. And underneath all of it, the question of what to do next. This episode is not an argument against IVF. It is the opposite. It is about walking into the next cycle having looked at the whole picture rather than only the protocol. These are the five questions I would ask if we were sitting together reviewing your case. What your last cycle actually told us, and why stimulation works with the eggs your body has already been developing rather than creating egg quality. What has genuinely changed since the last cycle beyond the medication. Whether investigating costs you time, or whether the two can run in parallel. Whether both partners have been evaluated, or only one. And what information would let you feel settled about the decision either way. I also share what I would do differently. I was 28 when I was told donor eggs were my only option. I did not know there were other questions to ask. CHAPTERS 00:00 The pressure to decide after a failed cycle 00:52 Review ask 01:00 What our team reviews and how we work 02:30 The type A pattern, and the tracking data that still has not answered it 03:10 Question 1.

Episode 1675: Flagrant

Why is finding a healthcare provider who truly listens during perimenopause so difficult? In this episode of Our Womanity, host Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with NBC-HWC health coach and certified Pilates instructor Julia Granacki to unpack the systemic hurdles women face when seeking midlife care.From her own sudden, mask-and-glove hot flash in a deli line during COVID to being dismissed by her longtime OBGYN because her periods were still regular, Julia shares her personal journey through perimenopause and how it inspired her to build a multidisciplinary coaching practice alongside Dr. Anna Barbieri.Together, Dr. Pope and Julia break down the "period myth" in perimenopause diagnostic criteria, the staggering gap in physician menopause training, how to spot predatory midlife wellness upsells, and how Julia's three-part framework—Validate, Educate, Advocate—helps women reclaim agency over their health.Meet JuliaJulia Granacki, NBC-HWC, is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, comprehensive Pilates instructor (Kane School of Core Integration), and founder of The Age Craft Practice. Trained through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Harvard Medical School's Sustainable Nutrition Program, Julia works alongside Dr. Anna Barbieri as part of a multidisciplinary perimenopause and menopause care team in New York City. She is the host of the Agecraft After Dark podcast and former co-host of Circling the Drain.Key Takeaways Research and clinical criteria often require menstrual changes to diagnose perimenopause, yet symptoms like sleep disruption, anxiety, body composition shifts, and hot flashes frequently appear years while cycles remain a clockwork 28 days. The Medical Education Deficit: 80 percent of US OBGYN residents report little to no formal training in menopause management, while only 1 in 5 practicing OBGYNs report receiving formal training. Discrepancies in insurance reimbursement between female and male anatomy procedures, paired with 15-minute appointment caps, force many specialists into membership or private models to deliver adequate care. As midlife awareness grows, vulnerable women are increasingly targeted with costly, unverified tests (such as Dutch tests), unnecessary compounding setups, and aggressive aesthetic upsells. Julia's coaching framework acts as a "midlife doula" service—validating symptoms as real, providing verified Menopause Society guidelines, and empowering women with the agency needed to advocate for themselves in clinic visits. How quality telehealth platforms are helping close the care gap for women living in midlife medical "deserts" across the country.Resources Connect with Julia Granacki: juliagwellness.com Podcast: Agecraft After Dark: juliagwellness.com/podcast Find a Certified Specialist: Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) directory at menopause.org Connect with Dr. Rachel Pope: @drrachelpope on Instagram | ourwomanity.comPlease like, subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode with anyone navigating perimenopause or midlife health transitions!

Full Text of Readings Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 115 The Saint of the day is Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross' Story A brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Saint Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau, Germany—now Wroclaw, Poland—Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology–an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922, when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis. After living for four years in the Cologne Carmel, Teresa Benedicta of the Cross moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands, in 1938. The Nazis occupied that country in 1940. In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta of the Cross in 1987 and canonized her 12 years later. Reflection The writings of Teresa Benedicta of the Cross fill 17 volumes, many of which have been translated into English. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led her. After becoming a Catholic, Edith continued to honor her mother's Jewish faith. Sister Josephine Koeppel, O.C.D., translator of several of Edith's books, sums up this saint with the phrase, “Learn to live at God's hands.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Or the home they had when they were first married. What you'll hear: • Why environmental cues work for some people and distress others • How to explore a familiar object without correcting someone • Why packing up and wanting to go home is so common • What to try when a single change isn't enough Explore more about the concept of home as Teepa shows you how to shape a space so it supports abilities, encourages independence, and lowers stress for all.

Our guest is the award-winning Dutch novelist Oscar van den Boogard, the author of The Six: The Untold Story of the Antwerp Six, an oral history of the origin of one of the most enduring myths of contemporary fashion.

Patrick answers questions about faith and family, Catholic teachings on purgatory, confession, and natural family planning. He reads listener reactions, offers scriptural context for traditions, and gives real-world advice. Judgment, wisdom, laughter, and hope intersect as Patrick moves through calls, scripture, and lived experience. Joe - Is there a biblical blessing or prayer on guarding your eyes? (03:19) Arcadia - How do you know it was Moses and Elijah whom Jesus was talking to when he got transfigured? (07:58) Rose - If you go to confession right before you pass, why do you still go to purgatory and if so, what is the point of confessing right before death? (16:50) David - I've been reading Proverbs with my daughter, but the text is a father addressing a son. I interject and say 'to you my daughter'. Is that ok? (26:32) Anthony Hopkins composed “And the Waltz Goes On” when he was a 26-year-old piano student in 1964 but never released it because feared nobody would like it. 47 years later, his wife, Stella Arroyave, discovered the forgotten music and sent it to Dutch violinist and conductor André Rieu. Rieu loved the composition so much that he arranged the piece for his Johann Strauss Orchestra. In 2011, Hopkins sat in an audience in Vienna to hear his forgotten music composition being performed live by Rieu and his orchestra for the very first time. He was visibly moved to tears. https://x.com/JamesMelville/status/2084246490994635000?s=20 (30:24) Email - I listened to your NFP question from Tuesday, and I have a follow up question. The article you wrote provides grave reasons for avoiding pregnancy. Are valid reasons for using NFP to avoid pregnancy to simply space out children, with no grave reason? How long (months/years) is OK to space out children by using NFP, with no grave reason? Does a couple have to space children out until the women hits menopause, or can she use NFP once she has many children or is 40 years or older? (37:11)

Longevity medicine is expanding beyond biological age, biomarkers, and emerging technology. In this special episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald shares four thought-provoking conversations exploring the science, clinical tools, and deeply human questions shaping the future of healthspan. Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dr. Kat Toups discuss preliminary findings from their six-site randomized controlled trial evaluating a personalized precision medicine approach to cognitive decline, including changes in cognitive performance, neuroplasticity, and Alzheimer's-related biomarkers. Peter Diamandis explores AI, exponential technologies, and the future of medicine—while considering whether technological advances could ever replace the foundational role of diet, movement, sleep, and lifestyle. Dr. Aviva Romm examines the evolving understanding of PCOS, reproductive health as a vital sign, and the metabolic, hormonal, inflammatory, environmental, and psychosocial factors influencing women's health across the lifespan. Stanford-trained physician and public health advocate Dr. Casey Means joins Dr. Fitzgerald for a thought-provoking reflection on what it means to be human. She also speaks on pregnancy, birth, public scrutiny, health beyond biomarkers, and the roles of equanimity, stewardship, connection, and meaning in a well-lived life. Join Dr. Kara Fitzgerald and more than 30 leading clinicians, researchers, and educators for the free Functional Medicine IS Longevity Medicine Masterclass, live September 18–19, 2026.
