As global energy systems evolve, emerging economies face a defining challenge: how to secure affordable power for today while investing in the low-carbon solutions that will drive tomorrow's growth. Can energy diversification unlock a new era of industrial development, resilience, and inclusive prosperity?In the third and final episode of our special series ahead of ADIPEC 2025, host Ed Crooks is joined by Charlotte Wolff-Bye, Group Chief Sustainability Officer at PETRONAS, and Andrew Smart, Senior Managing Director at Accenture. Together, they explore how countries in Asia, the Middle East and beyond are using integrated energy strategies to build stronger, fairer economies.Charlotte explains how PETRONAS is redefining its role as a national energy company: supporting Malaysia's growth through lower-carbon development, capacity-building, and nature-based solutions. She outlines how the company's investments in renewables, hydrogen, and carbon capture are creating skilled jobs, building local supply chains, and delivering a “just transition” that lifts communities.Andrew shares Accenture's perspective from the Middle East, where nations are emerging as pivotal connectors between the Global North and South-linking capital, technology, and opportunity. He discusses how digital innovation, AI, and regional interconnection are reshaping resilience and competitiveness, while new financing and regulatory models aim to make clean-energy investment bankable at scale.The message from emerging economies is clear: energy transition and economic development can must advance hand-in-hand. Finally, the group considers what a decade of progress might bring us, including more collaborations across borders and across sectors. They explain why new connections such as regional power grids, diversified supplies, and joined-up policies and corporate strategies point to brighter futures for energy and human development.This is the third and final special episode sponsored by ADIPEC 2025, where the theme is Energy Intelligence Impact. The event brings together 205,000+ attendees and 1,800+ speakers in Abu Dhabi from 3–6 November 2025. The Energy Gang will be recording live at the event.

Subscribe to Forever Strong Insider: https://foreverstrong.supercast.comIn this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Heidi van den Brink; one of the only scientists in the world studying the ovarian transition from fertility to menopause. Together, they unpack what textbooks and wellness influencers often miss: the biology behind how your ovaries, uterus, metabolism, and nutrition interact across every stage of a woman's life. Dr. Heidi reveals the never-before-seen dynamics of the ovarian cycle, how follicles develop in “waves,” and what really happens during the menopause transition. They discuss how undernutrition, obesity, and metabolic health shape reproductive hormones; why early menarche and delayed ovulation matter for long-term health; and the surprising connection between your gut microbiome, bile acids, and fertility. If you've ever been told to “balance your hormones” with seed cycling, apps, or supplements, this episode separates myths from mechanisms. It's a masterclass in understanding the science of your hormones and how to truly support reproductive health through every decade of life.Chapter Markers0:00 - Can You Get Pregnant While on Your Period? 1:21 - Intro to Dr. Heidi & Ovarian Cycle Research 3:39 - The Uterine Cycle vs. The Ovarian Cycle 6:19 - Follicle Waves: The Hidden Drama in Your Ovaries 10:38 - Novel Discovery: Follicle Waves in the Luteal Phase 12:00 - Why One Follicle is Selected for Ovulation 13:17 - Does Nutrition Affect Ovarian Function? 14:48 - The Variation in Menstrual Cycles (It's Not Always 28 Days) 17:23 - The Impact of Obesity on the Ovarian Cycle 18:11 - The Problem of Luteal Phase Defects & Fertility 24:52 - Ovarian Morphology as a Bio-Marker of Health 26:54 - How Undernutrition Affects Ovarian Health 31:56 - The Metabolic Tipping Point of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) 33:26 - The Myth of the "String of Pearls" Ovary 35:25 - The Menopause Transition & Rogue Follicles 39:04 - Can We Predict Menopause by Scanning Ovaries? 45:59 - Early Menarche (First Period) and Long-Term Disease Risk 48:33 - The Surprising Link Between Puberty Timing and Environment 52:28 - The Role of Leptin in Reproductive Health 55:50 - Debunking the Myth: Can Nutrition Cure PCOS? 59:07 - PCOS Diet Myths (Fruit, Timing, and Supplements) 1:04:40 - Fish Oil for Menstrual Cramps (Dysmenorrhea) 1:08:37 - Breakthrough: Bile Acid, The Gut Microbiome, and Ovulation 1:11:50 - Closing RemarksWho is Heidi Vanden Brink:Dr. Vanden Brink is a reproductive physiologist with over a decade of research in nutrition, metabolism, and female reproductive health.

The Push-Pull of ADHD and Autism: Stretching Without Breaking In this candid conversation, Patricia Young (she/her) and B Lourenco (she/her) dive deep into the realities of living with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. They explore the push-pull between self-accommodation and stretching ourselves, how shame and internalized ableism impact daily life, and what it means to create realistic support systems at home, in relationships, and in the workplace. Expect raw honesty, relatable stories, and practical insights for navigating neurodivergent life. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · The ongoing "driver's seat battle" between ADHD and autism. · The push-pull between making accommodations and stretching ourselves beyond comfort. · Parenting a neurodivergent young adult while balancing when to push and when to allow rest. · Task initiation struggles — from making banana bread to cooking meals. · Body doubling as a powerful tool to reduce shame and spark motivation. · The "crisper/rotter" effect — guilt over wasted food and executive dysfunction. · Financial and practical impacts of task initiation challenges. · How privilege plays into having options like prepared or frozen meals when cooking feels impossible. · The cost of pushing through fatigue and flares with conditions like POTS and MCAS. · "Future me" thinking — and the difficulties neurodivergent folks have with impermanence. · Shame as the "ice cream scoop" on top of disability struggles. · Why diagnosis matters: language helps reduce shame and prevent repeating harmful patterns. · How powerlessness, and an attempt to gain autonomy can show up in small, reactive choices (like leaving a Facebook group). · Sensory sensitivities in family systems — how lack of accommodations can lead to dysfunction. · Practical accommodations for noise-sensitive parents and their kids. · Workplace challenges: 40-hour weeks, return-to-office pressures, and capitalism's rigidity. · Creative problem-solving in disabled and neurodivergent communities. · The deep fear of being uncared for and alone if we can't keep up. · Hyper-independence and isolation in the ADHD/autistic community. · Internalized ableism and the "shoulds" that drive shame and burnout. · Neurodivergence as a dynamic disability — what's possible one day isn't always possible the next. · Radical acceptance as a path toward reducing judgment and finding relief. SOUND BITES · "It begs the question of, okay, is that okay? Can we just say that's how it is?" – B Lourenco · "Instead of putting our energy into addressing the gap, folks will take the great divide and then put a scoop of shame on top of it." – B Lourenco · "All the terrible things that we tell ourselves… if I didn't have that awareness, I'd just keep repeating these patterns." – Patricia Young · "In order to truly accommodate ourselves, we have to acknowledge that it's as hard as it is and that we're as disabled as we are." – B Lourenco · "Sometimes I have to ask myself, what if what you're going through is exactly where you need to be?" – Patricia Young SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction) 00:00 Navigating Neurodivergence: A Personal Journey 02:59 Understanding Accommodations: Balancing Needs and Expectations 05:48 The Push-Pull of Task Initiation and Self-Care 08:33 Shame and Support: The Role of Community 11:35 The Impact of Environment on Neurodivergent Individuals 14:26 Workplace Challenges: The Struggle for Accommodations 17:16 Building Bridges: Community and Creative Solutions 20:00 Radical Acceptance: Embracing Our Reality 22:48 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Identity 25:42 The Dynamic Nature of Neurodivergence 29:02 Finding Joy in the Present Moment 31:47 The Bigger Picture: Building a Better Future 34:47 Conclusion: Resources and Future Endeavors PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

Summary This podcast episode from the Boss Surgery Series features Dr. Amy Vertries interviewing Dr. Sarah Rasmussen, a pediatric transplant surgeon, about her experience of being in the wrong job and navigating a career transition. Dr. Rasmussen shares her journey from working at the University of Virginia (UVA) to Seattle Children's Hospital and then to a new position that better aligned with her career goals and values. Dr. Rasmussen begins by describing her background as a Gen-Xer born in West Virginia who initially planned to practice medicine with her father. She pursued an MD-PhD program at WVU in 1997, focusing on HIV research at the National Cancer Institute. During her medical training, she discovered her passion for surgery during rotations and completed her residency at Virginia Commonwealth University followed by a pediatric surgery fellowship at Johns Hopkins. She then worked at UVA from 2011 to 2020, where she established a pediatric liver transplant program in partnership with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Dr. Rasmussen explains that leadership changes at UVA led to her role being reduced from performing 42 liver transplants annually to being limited to only pediatric cases (about 5 per year). This significant reduction in surgical volume prompted her to accept a position at Seattle Children's Hospital as the surgical director of pediatric liver transplant, which she accepted just before the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020. At Seattle Children's, Dr. Rasmussen encountered challenges that made her realize she was in the wrong job. Despite the hospital performing more transplants (13-15 liver transplants and 30 kidney transplants annually), she faced issues with case allocation, micromanagement of her decisions, and resistance to her suggestions for improving processes. After 18 months, she compiled data showing her limited involvement in transplant cases and presented it to leadership, hoping for change. Instead, this led to increased scrutiny of her abilities. Dr. Rasmussen describes how the job stress affected her health, causing panic attacks, chest pain, and dangerously high blood pressure. With support from her family and through Dr. Vertries' coaching program, she decided to explore other opportunities. She interviewed at four institutions and found a position with a partner who shared her vision and valued her contributions. In her new role, Dr. Rasmussen found a supportive environment where her partner encourages her growth, helps her through complications, and values her strengths. She shares how her new partner supported her through a surgical complication by not letting her isolate herself and helping her move past self-doubt. He also encourages her to take on challenging cases, such as performing laparoscopic procedures on very small infants. The conversation concludes with reflections on the importance of finding the right job fit, the impact of career decisions on family, and how having the right partner can make a significant difference in professional growth and satisfaction. Chapters Dr. Rasmussen's Background and Early Career Path ‎ 00:02:12 Dr. Sarah Rasmussen introduces herself as a Gen-Xer born in West Virginia. She initially planned to practice medicine with her father but became interested in research during medical school. She joined an MD-PhD program at WVU in 1997, focusing on HIV research at the National Cancer Institute. During her clinical rotations, she discovered her passion for surgery, which engaged "all parts of her brain." She completed her residency at Virginia Commonwealth University and a pediatric surgery fellowship at Johns Hopkins. From 2011 to 2020, she worked at the University of Virginia (UVA) as an assistant professor, where she also completed an additional fellowship in abdominal transplant surgery. At UVA, she was active in research, clinical work, teaching, and helped establish a pediatric liver transplant program in partnership with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Transition to Seattle Children's Hospital During the Pandemic ‎ 00:05:21 Dr. Rasmussen explains that leadership changes at UVA led to her role being reduced from performing 42 liver transplants annually to being limited to only pediatric cases (about 5 per year). This significant reduction prompted her to accept a position as surgical director of pediatric liver transplant at Seattle Children's Hospital. She signed her offer letter just before the COVID-19 pandemic began, making the transition particularly challenging as it occurred during social distancing measures. Dr. Rasmussen was attracted to Seattle Children's because they performed more transplants (13-15 liver transplants and 30 kidney transplants annually), and she believed she would have a good working relationship with the program head who had similar training. Challenges at Seattle Children's Hospital ‎ 00:09:27 Dr. Rasmussen describes her initial positive reception at Seattle Children's but quickly noticed concerning dynamics between surgeons during her observation of a liver-kidney transplant on her second day. Despite her efforts to integrate into the team, she faced significant challenges: her clinical decisions were micromanaged, her requests for time off were complicated by "unwritten rules," and she was often excluded from transplant cases because "fellows needed the experience." After 12 months, she realized that her situation wasn't improving despite her efforts to be helpful and engaged. After 18 months, she compiled data showing her limited involvement in transplant cases (only 20% of livers and 15% of kidneys despite being on call 33% of the time) and presented it to leadership, hoping for change. Instead of addressing her concerns, this led to increased scrutiny of her abilities. Recognizing the Need for Change ‎ 00:16:45 Dr. Rasmussen sought advice from colleagues but was consistently told that the situation "would never change." She realized that her vision of being a pediatric liver transplant surgeon required meaningful involvement in cases, which wasn't happening at Seattle. In January 2021, she learned of four potential job openings in her field. Initially resistant to moving her family again so soon after relocating during the pandemic, she joined Dr. Vertries' "difficult partner course" hoping to learn how to succeed in her current position. Through the course, she gave herself permission to explore other opportunities and interviewed at all four institutions. Two positions seemed promising, with one standing out immediately because of her connection with the potential new boss. Health Impact and Decision to Leave ‎ 00:25:56 Dr. Rasmussen describes how the job stress severely affected her health, causing panic attacks manifesting as chest pain and dangerously high blood pressure (190/110 with a heart rate of 197). One night after seeing the clinic and call schedule, she couldn't calm down despite trying mindfulness techniques. Her husband witnessed this and declared, "We are done here." Additional factors influencing her decision included the death of a mentor and her mother's illness. Dr. Rasmussen realized that despite her efforts, the team at Seattle Children's was unwilling to accommodate her career needs, which she viewed as a "breach of contract" - not from the institution but from the team that should invest in its members. Family Considerations in Career Decisions ‎ 00:28:55 Dr. Rasmussen discusses the challenge of considering another move so soon after relocating her family during the pandemic. She worried about uprooting her children who had just established connections in Seattle. A turning point came when her oldest child told her, "Mom, I think it's time for you to worry about yourself. I'm going to be okay." For her job interviews, she took the unusual step of requesting that both potential employers bring her entire family for second visits, not just her spouse. She received advice that "how happy do you think your family can be if mom is not happy?" and realized that many children move multiple times during childhood without negative consequences. She also learned that her oldest child had been bullied at their previous school, reinforcing that staying in Virginia might not have been better for her family. Finding the Right Partner and Environment ‎ 00:47:08 Dr. Rasmussen describes how she connected with her new boss by cold-calling him about a position at his former institution and inquiring if he needed a partner in his new program. Their initial conversation revealed shared vision and energy for building a program. Unlike her experience in Seattle, her new boss explicitly stated, "You tell me what you need out of a case, and that's what will happen," emphasizing team function over hierarchy. She contrasts this with her previous experience, noting the difference between a hierarchical environment and one with a shared vision. When she experienced a serious complication in her first liver transplant at the new institution, her partner provided support without judgment, wouldn't let her isolate herself, and eventually told her "it's time to stop" ruminating, while acknowledging that such complications happen to everyone. Growth and Support in the New Position ‎ 00:54:01 Dr. Rasmussen shares how her new environment supports her growth through challenging cases. During her first on-call experience, she consulted on a 1.6-kilogram baby with duodenal atresia. Though initially planning an open procedure, she researched laparoscopic approaches and found evidence supporting minimally invasive surgery for this condition. When she proposed this to her boss, he gave no pushback and even came to observe the successful procedure. Three months later, when she hesitated about performing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on an eight-week-old baby, her boss reminded her, "Three months ago, you did a lap duodenal atresia repair on a 1.6 kilo baby - get over it," encouraging her to trust her abilities. Dr. Rasmussen appreciates how her partner recognizes when her tendency to overthink is a strength (when writing policies or justifications) and when it's holding her back. Reflections on Career Transitions and Lessons Learned ‎ 01:00:00 Dr. Rasmussen and Dr. Vertries reflect on the lessons learned through this career journey. Dr. Rasmussen acknowledges how she overcame limiting beliefs such as "I can't move because it will hurt my family" and "I can't have an ideal partner." Dr. Vertries notes that Dr. Rasmussen has experienced a "hero's journey" and that her lessons will have an "exponential effect on other people." Dr. Rasmussen expresses gratitude for the opportunity to reflect on how far she's come in a relatively short time, demonstrating that "you can make some pretty life-altering things in a short period of time with a little bit of help." Action Items Dr. Vertries mentioned reaching out to her at bosssurgery.com for help with toxic job situations. ‎ 00:00:35 Dr. Rasmussen suggested asking detailed questions about job expectations and case allocation when interviewing for new positions. ‎ 00:13:54 Dr. Rasmussen recommended bringing family members on second job interviews when considering relocation. ‎ 00:29:58 Dr. Rasmussen advised seeking coaching before leaving a job to process the situation properly. ‎ 00:42:17 Dr. Rasmussen suggested researching evidence-based approaches to surgical techniques when considering new procedures. ‎ 00:55:57

Originally uploaded August 13th reloaded October 26th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Cory Connolly, Chief Climate Officer, EGLE ( Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy), Lansing, MI. About: $129 Million Federal Investment Accelerates Michigan's Clean Energy Initiatives What is the Renewable Ready Communities (RRC) Program and why should Michigan residents care about it? How will this investment by the EPA accelerate the deployment of renewable energy projects in the state and how could it change the future of Michigan? Can you elaborate on the partnership with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity to ensure Michigan has the workforce to meet 2030 renewable energy goals? How will this support jobs? How will this investment help Michigan achieve the goals of the MI Healthy Climate Plan? What are other investments and projects EGLE is championing to support the roll out of clean energy? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ The EPA has awarded Michigan $129 million from the Inflation Reduction Act's Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program. This investment will accelerate the deployment of renewable energy projects, helping Michigan achieve its climate goals while fostering economic growth and job creation. This funding will allow the state to launch Renewables Ready Communities (RRC), administered by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). The RRC has five priority areas: Expanding the Renewables Ready Communities Award pilot, an initiative launched in 2024 with a one-time state investment of $30 million, that provides financial incentives, on top of tax revenue and community benefits, to local and tribal governments that approve and host utility-scale renewable energy and energy storage through local processes. Creating the Brownfield Renewable Energy Pilot program to provide grants for renewable energy projects on brownfields, incentivizing deployment on brownfields. Strengthening EGLE's Renewable Energy Academy to develop technical assistance for local and tribal governments to improve planning, siting, and permitting processes for renewable energy facilities and the new Brownfield Renewable Energy Pilot program. Supporting workforce development programs, in coordination with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, to ensure Michigan has the workforce needed to build enough renewable energy to meet the state's 2030 goals. Developing a Renewables Ready Communities Strategic Plan to ensure a comprehensive strategy for utility-scale and brownfield renewable energy projects to meet the state's 60% renewable energy by 2030 goals. Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the State of Michigan $129.1 million from the Biden-Harris administration's Inflation Reduction Act's (IRA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy like wind, solar, and storage. The investment will help Michigan meet its 60% renewable energy and 100% clean energy standards set under the recently enacted clean energy laws. Getting this done will create good-paying jobs, drive down energy costs, and protect the state's air, land, and water. “Michigan is committed to leading the future of clean energy so we can drive down utility costs for families, create good-paying jobs, and grow our advanced manufacturing economy,” said Governor Whitmer. “Thanks to our congressional delegation and the Biden-Harris administration's investment in Michigan, we are ready to launch the Renewables Ready Communities Program to meet our renewable energy and MI Healthy Climate Plan goals.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Rose Mary Boustany, Professor of Pediatrics and Biochemistry at the American University of Beirut, and a pioneering figure in neurogenetics and autism research. Together, we explore the complex roots of autism from genetic and epigenetic influences to environmental and neurobiological factors and discuss how these discoveries are transforming both research and care. Dr. Boustany reflects on her decades-long journey in pediatric neurology, the evolution of autism understanding worldwide, and the pressing need for global collaboration to bridge scientific gaps. The conversation also tackles common myths about autism's causes, and how deeper scientific insights can enhance early diagnosis, intervention, and compassionate care for families. Join us as we go beyond the headlines to unpack the science, the challenges, and the promise of future breakthroughs in autism research   #AutismResearch #Neurogenetics #LebanesePhysiciansPodcast #GeneticsAndEnvironment #Epigenetics #PediatricNeurology #AutismAwareness #GlobalHealth #Neuroscience #MedicalInnovation #LebanesePhysicians #HealthPodcast Available on all podcast apps and on YouTube

In today's complex world, we're often taught the skills of management—how to organize tasks, track metrics, and keep things running. But is that enough to truly succeed, lead a team, or build the life you dream of? The hosts of the Personal Mastery Training podcast argue that management falls short. What's truly needed is leadership, and the absolute cornerstone of leadership is belief.   In a compelling episode, they explore why unwavering belief—in yourself, your team, and your vision—is the essential ingredient for navigating chaos, inspiring trust, and turning ambitious goals into reality. Key Highlights from the Discussion   You Were Trained to Manage, But You Need to Lead: Management handles the what and how; leadership inspires the why. True leaders don't just assign tasks; they instill a powerful belief that galvanizes action, especially through tough times. Belief: The Glue of High-Performing Teams: A leader's conviction is contagious. When you genuinely believe in the mission, you build the trust and solidarity necessary for a team to overcome obstacles and achieve collective success. Your belief makes them believe. Self-Esteem is Your Foundation: While confidence can come and go, deep-seated self-esteem is the unwavering belief in your own worth and capability. Cultivate it by acknowledging your past wins and resilience—it's the fuel for authentic leadership. Bring Simplicity to Complexity (I-E-E): Great leaders cut through the noise. They establish a clear Identity(who we are/need to be), provide Evidence through consistent action, and cultivate the right Environment for success. Is Your Environment Killing Your Potential?: Like a giant tree needing specific soil and climate, your potential can only flourish in the right environment. If you're not growing, critically examine your surroundings—the people, culture, and resources. Sometimes the problem isn't you; it's the "pot" you're planted in. Trust the Process: Stop fixating on the distant outcome. As legendary coach Nick Saban said, "Outcomes are a distraction." Focus intensely on executing the daily process required to get there, and the results will follow. Leaders Turn Chaos into Order: Life and business are inherently chaotic. A leader's role is to act like a magnet, using their focused belief and clarity to bring structure, purpose, and direction out of the disorder. The Takeaway Whether you're leading a company, a family, or just yourself towards a significant goal, the journey starts with belief. It's the internal compass that guides you through uncertainty, the energy source that fuels perseverance, and the signal that tells others you're worth following. Stop just managing, and start leading with conviction.    

In this mind-expanding episode, Darin sits down with Dani Fontaine — researcher, practitioner, and expert on the human body's forgotten communication system: the endocannabinoid system. They unravel how this network regulates everything from mood and sleep to pain and consciousness — and why it was deliberately scrubbed from mainstream medical education. Dani reveals how cannabinoids, light, sound, and nature all communicate with our body's receptor fields — shaping the way we feel, heal, and perceive the world. Together they explore the profound spiritual and scientific implications of this hidden system, and how it connects us back to balance, nature, and truth.     What You'll Learn 00:00:00 - Welcome to the SuperLife Podcast 00:00:32 - Sponsor: Energy Bits 00:01:52 - Introducing Guest Danny Fontaine: Cannabis Pioneer and Plant Medicine Healer 00:04:54 - Deep Dive: What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)? 00:06:30 - ECS: The Homeostasis and Retrograde Signaling System 00:09:20 - ECS as a Receptive System for Subtle Energies and Environment 00:10:23 - Endocannabinoid System Toning (X-Tone) 00:12:58 - When the ECS Gets Worn and Depleted 00:16:34 - ECS Receptors on Every Cell, Fascia, and Neural Makeup 00:19:14 - How the ECS Breaks Down: The Impact of False Light 00:22:11 - The ECS and Non-Photon Rich Food 00:23:40 - Modulating the ECS Through the Six Senses (Touch and Breath) 00:24:38 - Mitochondria and ECS Receptors (MTK, CB1) 00:25:14 - Endogenous ECS and the Need for Proper Nutrients 00:27:11 - Cannabis as our Phyto Twin: The Plant Factor 00:27:57 - THC and the Suppression of Anandamide (Bliss Molecule) 00:31:44 - Sponsor: Fatty 15 00:35:25 - The Vast Amount of ECS Research & Medical Suppression 00:38:27 - Cannabinoids, Pain, and Individual Assessment 00:40:29 - Modulating ECS with Nature: Terpenes like Pinene 00:42:51 - Olfactory System as the Most Sophisticated Input 00:47:03 - ECS as the "Microscope Moment" for Health 00:48:23 - Pinene, CB1, and TRP Receptors in Pain Management 00:50:39 - The ECS, Collagen, and Hyaluronic Acid Fluctuation 00:51:44 - Working with the ECS for Faster Results (Cancer and Genetic Mutations) 00:55:06 - Sponsor: SuperLife Patreon 00:56:39 - Measuring the ECS with Bio-Field Technology 00:57:29 - The Danger of THC Stacking and Immunosuppression 00:59:30 - Overwhelmed Cells and Fake Inputs 01:00:12 - Hemp as a Homeostasis Plant for the Planet (Soil Remediation/Carbon) 01:02:06 - ECS Strength in Animals vs. Humans 01:04:08 - Why Cannabis and Hemp Were Suppressed 01:07:07 - The Historical Use of Cannabis in Medicine 01:08:12 - Hemp's Nutritional Profile (Amino Acids and Omegas) 01:09:37 - Ayahuasca, Receptor Overexpression, and Looping 01:13:33 - Importance of ECS Knowledge and Application 01:14:58 - Exercise, Anandamide, and ECS Toning 01:15:22 - Cold Plunge and Shocking the ECS and Hormones 01:17:16 - Takeaways: Light, Movement, Sound, and Breath 01:21:41 - ECS: The Main Signaling and Communication System 01:23:28 - Final Thoughts: ECS as the Conduit to Self and Spirit     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

In this special episode, Travis is joined by his producer, Eric, for a fun break-down of the worst financial advice out there—reacting to viral clips and sorting the truly terrible from the merely misunderstood. They cover everything from “buy low, sell high” myths to the dangers of credit cards and the unpredictable path of moving to NYC for your dreams. On this episode we talk about: Listening (and laughing) through clips of supposed “awful” financial advice—from cash hacks to leveraging credit as a college student Why “buy low, sell high” sounds easy, but almost no one—except 1% of day traders—actually wins playing that game over time The power of environment and why moving to a “dream city” could either ignite your career or send you financially underwater When using credit can make sense for disciplined business owners—but why most people should stick to cash Travis's ranking of the worst, most misleading, and situational money advice people keep hearing Top 3 Takeaways “Buy low, sell high” is not a strategy—it's gambling, and 99% of would-be day traders lose money over time. Your environment shapes your success; place yourself where the most opportunity exists, but only with a concrete, disciplined plan. Cash keeps you disciplined, but leveraged credit can be a useful tool—if you treat it like investment capital and avoid consumer traps. Notable Quotes “You're not going to beat the S&P 500—over 96% of funds and day traders fail to outperform the market.” “Don't confuse play money with nest egg money—it's fun until you gamble away your future.” “Environment shapes you, but most people never shape their environment.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

What actually shapes the way we connect with our babies? Our biology or our environment? In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Rocio Zunini to unpack the wildly fascinating science of parenthood and attachment styles. You'll learn how your brain literally changes during pregnancy and parenting (yes, your brain rewires itself!), why nurturing is far more powerful than we ever realized, and how those early interactions shape lifelong emotional regulation and resilience. Dr. Zunini breaks down groundbreaking research on how nurturing behavior in animals translates to humans, from secure to anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles and what that means for how we show up as parents. They also dig into how mothers' and fathers' brains adapt differently, the critical role of “allo parents” (those loving caregivers beyond mom and dad), and how awareness and mindful connection can actually rewrite generational patterns. If you've ever wondered how to raise emotionally secure, confident kiddos or how your own upbringing plays a role in the parent you're becoming, this one's a must-listen.

Everyone agrees it takes too long and costs too much to build energy infrastructure in America, but what exactly needs fixing, and can we make progress without rolling back vital environmental protections?In this special episode of Energy Gang, recorded live at the ACORE Grid Forum in Washington D.C., host Ed Crooks takes a deep dive into one of the most complex and consequential issues in US energy policy: permitting reform. Ed begins the episode in conversation with Matt Christiansen, partner at Wilson Sonsini and former General Counsel at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Drawing on his experience inside the commission, Matt explains where the real choke points lie in the permitting process, how federal and state powers intersect, and what the newly confirmed FERC commissioners could do to accelerate much-needed grid investment.Later, Ed sits down with three experts who work daily on these challenges in Congress and the private sector: Elizabeth Horner, partner at ArentFox Schiff and former counsel to Senators Shelley Moore Capito and John Barrasso; Daniel Palken, Director of Infrastructure for Energy and Permitting at Arnold Ventures; and Jeremy Horan, Permitting Lead at ACORE. Together, they unpack the politics behind reform, the relationship between permitting and transmission planning, and the growing urgency created by surging power demand from data centers and new manufacturing.The group also discusses the mood in Washington, and hopes that bipartisan momentum can be built to support pragmatic, economy-wide permitting reform.This episode is the first of two recorded live at the ACORE Grid Forum, where industry leaders, regulators, and policymakers came together to discuss the future of America's electricity system.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
