Flavanols are plant compounds in cocoa, berries, and tea with low bioavailability, meaning only a small portion enters the bloodstream A new animal study found that oral flavanol doses of 25 to 50 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) activated the subjects' brains within minutes Flavanols are a type of flavonoid within the polyphenol family. This hierarchy clarifies their differences and explains why foods have unique combinations that offer specific health benefits If you choose cocoa flavanol supplements, don't fall for flashy marketing; whenever possible, stick to a nutritious food-first approach Along with consuming flavanol-rich foods, pairing them with regular physical activity and a nutrient-dense, plant-focused diet helps support long-term brain health and cardiovascular resilience
Alright, so Jeremy Gilbertson is one of those guys who just went all-in on elk hunting—and it worked. This dude studied elk hunting harder than he studied school, killed a bull on his first-ever trip 36 hours from his front door in Minnesota, and then spent the next few years guiding hunters and building maps for a living. Now he's joining the Bridger Watch team to help us build the absolute best maps for wearables, because turns out everyone who said "nobody wants maps on a watch" was dead wrong. We dive deep into Jeremy's journey from cold-calling Colorado OTC units to guiding on private ranches in New Mexico, and we get into the real tactics that separate the guys who find elk from the guys who wander around hoping. We talk about e-scouting secrets, micro terrain, efficiency versus effectiveness, why busy is lazy (shoutout to Cal Arnold), and how to hunt like a 301 even if you're happy shooting raghorns. Jeremy's got a unique perspective because he's both a hardcore public land DIY guy and a guide who's seen hundreds of hunters make the same mistakes. If you want to learn how to find elk in tough units, how to balance aggression with patience, and why you need way more than seven days to figure out a unit, this one's for you. Let's get into it. $10,000 ELK HUNT GIVEAWAY We're partnering with Huntin' Fool Adventures for an insane giveaway.

Jeremy's secret? Look for the smallest pockets where elk could survive, not where they want to be. That 50-acre hidden basin above the highway? That's where the pressure-educated bulls are living. When you're looking at a unit, turn off the public land layers and ask yourself: if I could hunt anywhere, where would the elk actually be? Then figure out how to access those spots legally. The micro terrain beats the macro highlights every single time. You Need Way More Than Seven Days to Figure Out a Unit - Outfitters operate on seven-day hunts because they've already spent years figuring out where the elk are and what they're doing. When you show up as a DIY hunter with seven days, you're spending the first five just learning what the guide already knows. Jeremy's rule: plan for 10-15 days minimum if you're hunting a new unit. The hard units? Budget 12+ days just to figure it out, then another 3-4 to actually execute. If you only have seven days, you're gambling that you'll figure it out faster than average—and most guys are packing out on the drive home with all the knowledge they needed on day one. Hunt Like a 301 Even If You're Happy Shooting Raghorns - The difference between a 201 hunter and a 301 hunter isn't the size of the bull—it's understanding the entire system. A 201 hunter finds a herd and focuses on that six-point. A 301 hunter understands where all the herds are, how they interact, where the satellites are coming and going, and how pressure moves elk across the entire unit. Here's the secret: if you hunt the nucleus where the big bulls are, you'll magnetize all the smaller bulls trying to be there too. Understanding macro herd dynamics doesn't just help you find giants—it puts you in position to encounter way more elk, period.

I'm a woman trapped in a man's body analysing dating advice for women given by a man. In #505 of 'Meanderings', Juan and I discuss: three dating and relationships books (The New Rules, Get the Guy by Matthew Hussey and Attached), how prescriptive “rules” aimed at women can backfire, why some advice feels outdated (Facebook walls and BBM), how scarcity games tend to attract the very players you might want to avoid, why attachment styles are useful as a lens but less so as a to‑do list, a focus on authenticity over mere effectiveness, watch the influence of your friend circle, understand how strong male sexual drive can shape dating dynamics, apply Pareto principles to health and appearance first, build an interesting life (travel, skills, community) and learning to read yourself so you don't try to fill loneliness with just anyone.No boostagrams this week, very sad puppy.Stan Link: https://stan.store/meremortalsTimeline:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:47) The books: The New Rules, Get the Guy & Attached(00:04:21) Lot's of Don'ts(00:07:12) Perfectionism and the hunt for Mr Right(00:11:09) Who this attracts: playing games gets game players(00:16:21) What men reportedly dislike(00:20:25) Quick verdict on The New Rules & Switch To Matt Hussey(00:25:48) Practical prompts: compliments, conversations, and friendly vibes(00:30:15) Brief detour to Attached: anxious, avoidant, secure(00:39:24) Boostagram Lounge(00:41:15) Effectiveness vs authenticity: advice for daughters(00:45:00) Masks, faking confidence and why acts won't last(00:48:00) Be interesting: travel, stories and easy conversation openers(00:55:14) Broad advice: the male mind, sex drive, and expectations(01:02:26) Pareto squared: health and appearance(01:07:09) A raw moment: walking through Brisbane and feeling loneliness(01:11:24) Closing reflections Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast

In 2010, I hosted an essay contest. The topic was The Inspiration Connection: How Being Inspired Transforms the Quality and Effectiveness of Our Education. A friend, Jody Jarvis, who lived in Nevada at the time, won. The prize was awesome and was inspired. You will enjoy that story also. You will learn from and appreciate the experience she had, inspiring her boys by being an example for them. Her example made all the difference in the learning experience they had as a family. Enjoy

As the world moves with increasing urgency to mitigate climate change and catalyze energy transitions to net zero, understanding the governance mechanisms that will unlock barriers to energy transitions is of critical importance. Governing Energy Transitions: A Study of Regime Complex Effectiveness on Geothermal Development in Indonesia and the Philippines (Cambridge UP, 2025) by Dr. Kathryn Chelminski examines how the clean energy regime complex-the fragmented, complex sphere of governance in the clean energy issue area characterized by proliferating and overlapping international institutions-can be effective in fostering energy transitions at the domestic level, particularly in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). Through comparative case studies of geothermal development in Indonesia and the Philippines, the chapters provide two different tales of energy transitions, demonstrating how domestic factors have hindered or facilitated progress. This book will be useful for students, researchers, and practitioners working in international relations, energy politics, political science, development studies, public policy, international law, and sociology. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We dive deep into what FLFE actually is, how their consciousness technology works, and why so many sensitive people, healers, parents and pet guardians are using it to stay grounded in an increasingly chaotic, EMF-saturated world. We talk about: • What a high-consciousness field really is (in practical, everyday language) • The difference between walking into a peaceful woodland vs a tense, artificial environment • How FLFE uses a “unique identifier” (home address, phone, object) to create a supportive energetic bubble – with no apps to download • Why so many people report better sleep, less anxiety, more focus and more emotional resilience in the FLFE field • How EMFs can lower consciousness – and how FLFE's EMF mitigation was developed and tested with Dr. Gary E. Schwartz and the research team • The surprising plant and agriculture studies (including increased yields and more vibrant growth) • Why our children and animals often sense environmental energy long before we do • How to use the FLFE control panel and free 15-day trial as your own “consciousness lab” • Why the aim is NOT to control people, but to support free, sovereign humans in a more coherent field———————————————— Transform Your Home & Life with FLFE✨

Evidence from the Frontline: Mental Health in Crisis Affected Contexts, episode 5: EASE“What matters to young people? Climate, jobs, and mental health.”Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions (EASE) is an evidence-based group intervention that helps 10–15-year-olds in adversity-affected communities manage stress, anxiety, and depression through skills training. It includes seven sessions for adolescents and three for caregivers, using adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques delivered by trained non-specialist helpers. In this fifth episode, Sarah Harrison, Director of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement MHPSS Hub, speaks with Professor Mark Jordans (researcher at King's College London and Director of Research and Development at War Child), and Dr Zeinab Hijazi (Global Lead on Mental Health at UNICEF), to hear more about EASE.We learn that, while not a ‘magic wand', EASE has shown significant results and could help fill a gap in mental health support for young people in crisis-affected and low-resource settings. Mark, Sarah, and Zeinab discuss the rigorous training, competencies, and supervision needed for non-specialist providers, and the journey to develop, test and adapt EASE for implementation worldwide, including scale-up in Ukraine. They discuss future research opportunities, such as youth-led research or strengthening and simplifying the intervention. We learn that EASE should be integrated into a broader system of care, informed by national policy frameworks and practice standards. Key resources for practitionersEarly Adolescent Skills for Emotions (EASE) – manual and practice materials in multiple languages published by the World Health OrganisationUNICEF Adolescent Mental Health Hub- resources for frontline workers, adolescents, and caregiversReach Now- a tool developed by War Child, for use by community members without a professional mental health background, to improve identification of mental health problems in young people and promote care seeking.Read more about the research:Mark J.D.

Logan Davidson joins the show to talk about the fast-moving world of Ibogaine in American and why state-based leadership is shaping the future of psychedelic reform. Davidson is the executive director of Texans for Greater Mental Health, the legislative director at VETS, and a key strategist behind Texas' landmark interest in ibogaine research. He also advises for Americans for Ibogaine. His work sits at the intersection of science, policy, and lived experience, and this conversation offers a clear look into what is happening right now. Early Themes: The Rise of State Advocacy Davidson explains how he entered politics at nineteen and how his professional path merged with psychedelic policy work during the 2021 Texas legislative session. Through that first bill, he saw how science, bipartisan cooperation, and strong local leadership could advance major reform. Early discussion focuses on: How Texas became the first state to pass a major psychedelic research bill Why ibogaine became a central focus How the special operations community helped shift political momentum The personal mental health stories that shaped Davidson's commitment This section also highlights how Americans for Ibogaine entered the conversation through veterans, researchers, and state lawmakers who felt the urgency of the opioid crisis and traumatic brain injury. Core Insights: Ibogaine, Risk, and the New Research Model In the middle portion of the episode, Davidson breaks down the strategy, challenges, and promise behind ibogaine research and state-based policy innovation. Key insights include: The unique bipartisan environment in Texas Why stories from veterans and spouses moved lawmakers The importance of medical screening for cardiac risk Why research is essential for safety How states can use funding, revenue sharing, and public health goals to shape future access What policymakers are watching right now Effectiveness for opioid use disorder Data from traumatic brain injury studies Cardiac safety protocols The risk of untreated depression and addiction The national security implications of forcing service members to seek illegal care Davidson also explains why removing the psychedelic experience from the molecule remains controversial and why many researchers believe the full experience matters. Later Discussion and Takeaways: The Road Ahead for American Ibogaine In the final part of the conversation, Davidson speaks about the future of American Ibogaine and the broader psychedelic field. He outlines why local leadership matters, why federal funding, like what Psychedelic Medicine Coalition is supporting, could be the next major tipping point, and how big pharmaceutical companies may eventually enter the space through acquisitions or proprietary molecule development. Concrete takeaways include: States should expect clear benefits: lower-cost treatments, shared revenue, and local control Community leaders, not outsiders, often drive legislative wins The need for long-term safety data remains National security concerns highlight why regulated access must expand Federal research money could radically transform the pace and scale of studies He also encourages listeners to join or build local organizations, since nearly every major win comes from people who live in the state pushing from the ground up. Frequently Asked Questions Is Ibogaine safe? Ibogaine has cardiac risks that require medical screening and careful monitoring. Researchers stress that safety improves with proper protocols and more clinical data. Why is Ibogaine important for veterans? Many special operations veterans report major benefits for traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and addiction. Their stories have driven political momentum. How are states involved in Ibogaine research? States like Texas are funding clinical trials, drug development, shaping policy, and exploring revenue and access models to support long-term public health benefits. Will Ibogaine become federally supported in America? New federal interest, including major grants and bipartisan discussions, suggests that broader support may be coming in the next few years. Closing Thoughts This episode shows why the work of Logan Davidson sits at the center of today's psychedelic resurgence. It highlights a complex but hopeful moment where science, policy, and lived experience are beginning to align. As American Ibogaine research expands, state leaders, clinicians, veterans, and advocates all have a role in shaping a safer and more effective future for these treatments.

Mastering Golf with Systems: Bob Labbe's Pioneering ApproachIn this episode of 'Your Message Received', host John Duffin speaks with engineer and author Bob Labbe about his innovative system for improving long-distance putting in golf. Labbe, who enjoyed a successful career in air pollution control, applies his engineering background to the game of golf, developing a unique method called 'Individual Power Factor' (IPF) to enhance performance on the course. As a non-golfer, I am really pleasantly surprised by how easily I understood Bob's specific approach. When Bob says to use a little math, science, patience, and practice, it all made perfect sense to me. I am now excited that I can at least attempt to play this game. Don't forget about the fun factor too! The conversation delves into the practical applications of this system, its ease of adoption for beginners and seasoned players alike, and its broader implications for confidence and integrity in both sports and business. Whether you're looking to up your golf game or seeking inspiration from a man who has combined passion, science, and sports, this episode offers valuable insights for everyone.If you'd like to learn more about IPF and Bob Labbe, click the link below.boblabbe.com00:00 Introduction to Individual Power Factor in Golf01:12 Welcome to Your Message Received Podcast02:17 Meet Bob Labbe: Engineer and Author03:11 The Journey into Engineering05:45 Air Pollution Control: A Career Path07:46 The Evolution of Air Pollution Control11:59 Golf: A Personal and Professional Journey18:30 The Importance of Putting in Golf22:23 Developing a System for Better Putting27:33 Understanding Individual Power Factors in Golf29:31 Measuring and Applying Your Power Factor31:07 Building Confidence in Long Distance Putting32:08 Helping Others Improve Their Game41:08 The Importance of Integrity in Golf44:07 Practical Tips for Beginner Golfers49:25 The Simplicity and Effectiveness of the Method50:15 Conclusion and Encouragement

In the first several verses of Acts chapter nineteen, we find Paul in Ephesus, talking to a group of disciples who are sharing God's love, but have never even heard of the Holy Spirit! Now, their motivation was pure, but their doctrine was incomplete. Many Christians today tend to talk about God's magnificent love, and Jesus' atoning death on the cross, but neglect the role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives. Here's Lloyd Pulley with today's study.
Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging interactive technology that can be employed in simulation to enhance student learning. Most of the studies on AR applications examine the participant role rather than the observer role. In this podcast and article, Chelsea Lebo and Ashley Stallworth describe the benefits of AR for observers during high-fidelity simulations. Students found the AR goggles engaging, valuable for visualizing interventions and physiological processes, and helpful for understanding emergent situations and potential patient care strategies. However, a few students had technical difficulties with the AR equipment. The authors discuss AR and its future in nursing education.

If facts were enough, everyone would already be vegan, right?We think the facts are on OUR side — but no one's listening — what then?This week, Michele explores why information alone so often fails to change hearts or habits, and what behavioral science says to do instead. Drawing on the research of cognitive neuroscientist Gleb Tsipursky, whose EGRIP framework (Emotions, Goals, Rapport, Information, Positive Reinforcement) explains how minds actually shift, Michele shares practical tools for calmer, more compassionate conversations — especially around vegan and plant-based choices.Whether you're navigating holiday dinners, family debates, or the classic “I could never give up steak” moment, you'll learn the single “magic question” proven to open minds and lower defenses — and discover why curiosity always beats convincing.In this episode:Why facts backfire when they threaten identity or belongingGleb Tsipursky's science-based EGRIP sequence for persuasionHow to use one powerful question to spark opennessWhat to say (and not say) when loved ones dismiss your choicesWhy humility and patience are your most persuasive toolsListen if you want to: …have kinder, calmer, more effective conversations about veganism, climate, or any polarizing topic — and stay connected to the people you care about most.KEY TAKEAWAYSFacts can backfire when they threaten identity, belonging, or self-image.Belonging > Being Right. People defend group identity before rational truth.Gleb Tsipursky's EGRIP framework offers a step-by-step approach:Emotions – acknowledge feelings.Goals – find shared aims (health, family, planet).Rapport – connect before you correct.Information – share facts only once curiosity is open.Positive Reinforcement – thank and encourage openness.The magic question: “I was interested in what you're saying. Can you tell me more about what YOU think?”Curiosity lowers threat; correction raises it.Effectiveness > Righteousness. Presenting information patiently models the values you want to share.Model the long game.

Budget explains 89% of profit variation in award-winning campaigns. ROI? Just 11%. Yet 65% of senior marketers still believe ROI is the biggest contributor to success.This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob discuss new research from Les Binet and Will Davis that reveals a major misunderstanding at the heart of modern marketing. For years, marketers have obsessed over efficiency: optimizing clicks, proving short-term ROI, and doing more with less. The team breaks down why budget and reach matter more than most realize, how to escape the "death spiral" of shrinking investments, and what it means to go big or go home with your marketing plan.Topics covered: [01:00] Why budget is 8x more important than ROI for driving profit[03:00] Defining marketing efficiency vs marketing effectiveness[11:00] Making the case internally for bigger budgets and broader reach[13:00] How this research should change your channel planning[19:00] Balancing efficiency and effectiveness in your marketing mix[21:00] What creativity at scale really looks like To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.

Has Christian nationalism gone too far? In this lively yet thought-provoking conversation, we explore the tension between faith and politics, the role of the church in society, and how cultural challenges shape the way Christians embody the teachings of Jesus. From examining controversial trends like the rise of extreme Christian nationalism to unpacking theological nuances such as cruciformity and the kingdom of God, this discussion invites listeners to wrestle with what it means to live faithfully in a complex world. With humor, personal stories, and deep theological insight, the hosts tackle questions like: How should Christians navigate cultural issues without compromising their witness? What does justice look like in a society shaped by competing wills? And how do we maintain humility and curiosity in the face of divisive ideologies? We encourage you to join the conversation—email us your thoughts or engage with us on Instagram and Facebook.
