Feeling overwhelmed by environmental toxins? This is your antidote to eco-anxiety. Dr. Aly Cohen, triple board-certified physician, joins me for a refreshingly practical conversation about endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) without the hysteria. We break down how BPA, phthalates, and PFAS affect your hormones, metabolism, and immune system—and what you can actually do about it.From the frozen food revelation (it's better than fresh!) to low-cost swaps like glass Tupperware and vinegar cleaners, Dr. Cohen shares her "Four A's" framework for reducing toxic load. We dive into obesogens (chemicals making weight loss harder), why teens use 17 products daily, and how to navigate personal care products, water filters, and cookware. Environmental health for real people living real lives—progress, not perfection. Actionable steps you can take today.Episode Overview (timestamps are approximate):(0:00) Intro/Teaser(3:00) What Are Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals?(9:00) BPA: The Estrogen Mimicker(14:00) Long-Term Exposure and Systemic Inflammation(20:00) Obesogens and Metabolism(26:00) Food Packaging: The Silent Killer(31:00) Frozen vs. Fresh: The Nutrient Density Debate(39:00) Exercise, Sweat, and Detoxification(48:00) Water Quality: RO Filters vs. Carbon Blocks(54:00) Indoor Air Quality (Open Those Windows!)(59:00) Cooking Indoors: Gas Stoves and Non-Stick Pans(1:03:00) Tupperware, Cookware, and Material Safety(1:07:00) Personal Care Products: The Teenage Toxin Bomb(1:15:00) The Big Takeaway: One Thing at a Time(1:20:00) BONUS: After-Party with Dr. StephanieResources mentioned in this episode can be found at https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep446/We couldn't do it without our sponsors:LVLUP   - Ultimate GI Repair combines powerful gut-healing peptides with gut-nourishing naturals to soothe your changing digestion.

When host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael steps into Winchester Medical Center, she's greeted not only by a freshly rearranged office but by the unwavering enthusiasm of Chris Rucker, Chief Administrative Officer for Valley Health. Their lively conversation reveals what it takes to maintain a thriving healthcare workforce — especially in a profession where stress is high, expectations are higher, and compassion is non-negotiable. Award-Winning Employee Experience Valley Health has earned multiple national recognitions this year — including Forbes rankings for top healthcare employers and best-in-state workplaces. What makes those honors especially meaningful, Chris explains, is that the organization doesn't apply for them. Independent research firms survey employees directly, asking what it's really like to work there. The positive feedback validates Valley Health's commitment to its people — and reassures patients that they're being cared for by professionals who love where they work. Healthcare Takes a Village Chris passionately reminds Janet that everyone inside the Valley Health system is a caregiver — even those nowhere near an exam room. Construction crews repairing walls overnight. Environmental services teams polishing hallways while patients sleep. Security, valets, administrative staff, and tech support. With 6,200 employees across the region, the health system represents nearly every job imaginable — and each one contributes to patient well-being, comfort, and confidence. Taking Care of the People Who Care for Us Healthcare is one of the toughest professions — physically, emotionally, and mentally. So Valley Health invests intentionally in appreciation, recognition, and family support. From employee-of-the-month celebrations to family fun days with pumpkins and bounce houses, the system creates gathering spaces where relationships can grow outside clinical stress. And then there's the Turkey tradition. Every November, team members drive through with their families to receive a Thanksgiving turkey — a small perk with a big message. "It's about family," Chris says — acknowledging that work schedule disruptions affect entire households. In fact, CEO Mark Nantz has even worn a full turkey costume during past events, although one patient in the parking lot once thought he was a duck. Retention Through Relationships, Not Just Raises Janet notes that today's workforce isn't swayed by an extra dollar — they stay where they feel valued. Chris agrees, especially when speaking about younger staff, who are eager for: Skill development Career pathways Mentorship Advancement opportunities That is why Valley Health prioritizes education support, cross-training, and leadership development. "Thinking about what each individual employee type wants is part of what makes us a great employer," Chris explains. When "Not Feeling Safe" Is the Real Threat The darker side of healthcare? Abuse of providers. Chris shares that assaults, threats, and intimidation toward staff occur daily. It's an emotional blow to caregivers dedicated to helping others. Their "zero-tolerance" policy protects employees — and preserves a healthy workplace culture. Healthcare, he says, is a calling, but it shouldn't come with bruises. Hiring With Heart — and Strategy Valley Health is always recruiting — roughly 100 to 120 new hires a month — but staffing isn't just about filling shifts. It's about deliberately preparing for the community's future. Using a physician-needs assessment every three years, they analyze population changes, disease trends, service gaps, and resource sustainability.  That is precisely how new specialties enter the region, like Dr. Trimble Spitzer's fertility practice, which Chris says fills a long-standing gap in local care. Sourcing talent is also about making sure physicians — and their families — feel at home. Whether someone needs equestrian facilities for their child, a nearby mosque, or Croatian-speaking neighbors for aging parents — Valley Health handles those details, too. Safe Care, Advanced Tools For employees and patients alike, one foundational promise guides everything: "Valley Health only provides safe healthcare." To keep that promise, the system invests in the latest medical technologies — from robotic surgical systems to highly specialized imaging — ensuring that physicians can practice at the top of their license and patients receive the best possible outcomes. A Place You Want to Be — On Both Sides of the Bedrail Chris beams when he talks about the community. He raised his children here. He sees people move to the Valley specifically to work for the health system. And he loves looking out at new-employee orientation to find team members eager to serve. Because when someone lands in a hospital bed — often on one of the worst days of their life — the little things matter like a warm greeting, clear communication, timely updates, and a feeling of being seen. Patients may not understand clinical complexity — but they always remember how they were treated. There's a Role for Everyone You don't need a medical degree to be part of healthcare. High school diploma? Associate's degree? Master's? There is a Valley Health career for you. Interested listeners can visit https://www.valleyhealthlink.com/careers/ to explore openings. With hundreds of new roles coming in the next year, the door is wide open. A Culture Where Caregivers Feel Cared For As the conversation wraps, Janet thanks Chris for his insight — and he answers with the warmth of a leader who genuinely loves his team. From award-winning recognition to turkey suit laughter, Valley Health proves that exceptional patient care begins with exceptional people care.

If Christmas usually feels more chaotic than joyful, this episode is the reset you need. Justin and Kylie unpack the research on what really makes Christmas happier—and what quietly steals the joy from it. You’ll hear the surprising predictors of Christmas wellbeing (hint: it’s not money, gifts, or how perfect your table looks) and why letting go of the pressure to “do it all” might be the best gift you give your family. A warm, funny, practical episode to help you create a Christmas that actually feels good. KEY POINTS Family connection and meaningful traditions are the strongest predictors of Christmas happiness. A sense of purpose—not perfection—makes the season more joyful. Environmental mindfulness is linked with higher wellbeing (yes… even at Christmas!). Consuming less and enjoying nature more boosts Christmas satisfaction. Materialism and gift overload significantly reduce Christmas happiness. Relationship challenges or fractured family dynamics can dampen joy. Age brings more Christmas happiness as expectations shift and priorities mature. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Wrapping presents generally yields fewer rewards than spending time laughing, talking, and playing with the people you love.” RESOURCES Kasser & Sheldon (2002) research on Christmas wellbeing Take Back Christmas [Article] How To Unspoil Your Kids This Christmas [Webinar] ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Prioritise connection – plan at least one meaningful, shared activity. Scale back gifts – focus on presence, not presents. Add purpose – highlight generosity, gratitude, or spiritual meaning. Go outside – take a Christmas walk or enjoy nature together. Simplify – drop one “should” that only adds stress, not joy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Environmental justice continues to evolve as states respond to shifting federal priorities and community needs. New Jersey has emerged as a leader, integrating equity considerations into core environmental programs, supported by its landmark 2020 EJ law and a long-standing emphasis on strong environmental protections.In this episode, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn LaTourette joins Beveridge & Diamond's Hilary Jacobs and Justin Smith to discuss how the state is operationalizing EJ, measuring progress, and adapting to the major changes in federal policy and funding with the new Administration. Commissioner LaTourette outlines how New Jersey incorporates environmental justice into decision-making, the practical work of translating EJ principles into concrete, data-driven actions, and the challenges of aligning state and federal roles. The conversation also explores support for community-based organizations, funding constraints, and how businesses can navigate evolving EJ frameworks. This episode is part of the Groundtruth series created in partnership with Beveridge & Diamond, one of the nation's leading environmental law and litigation firms. ★ Support this podcast ★

 Andrew Torsius from Torsius Tater Farms in Grassy Lake, Alberta, discusses the evolution in their potato processing methods, highlighting a shift from dry grading to washing. Initially, potatoes were taken directly from storage for shipment, with the factory handling washing. Over the past 15 years, the farm has adopted washing to reduce transportation costs and manage plant water quality issues in Calgary and Lethbridge by minimizing dirt and mud challenges. - **Environmental and Operational Concerns**: The discussion touches on the environmental concerns regarding industrial waste affecting municipal sewage systems, specifically the problem of silt and mud from potato washing. To manage waste, Torsius implements a system using settling trenches and pits to clean and recycle water, maintaining efficiency and reducing environmental impact. - **Logistics and Economics of Potato Processing**: The conversation covers the timeline and resources involved in processing, with around 1,000 tons requiring a week to ten days to wash, depending on factory orders. Comparing the costs and logistics of washing versus dry grading, it is noted that washing is slower and might necessitate specific conditions, but dry grading can be done faster. Staff requirements remain similar for both processes. - **Miscellaneous Discussions**: Other topics include logistical details about equipment used in operations, with conversation briefly mentioning ropes and tarp handling for transportation. Additionally, there are remarks about the quality of red potatoes used for French fries.

The government's new environmental improvement plan for England is launched today. The Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs has set out what it calls 'an ambitious roadmap' with a 'clear plan to restore the environment.' That encompasses a new plan to stop pollution from forever chemicals, tougher measures on waste crime and more tree planting. They also highlight £500 million worth of funding for the landscape recovery schemes, long term, big scale projects where landowners work together to improve nature. We ask Wildlife and Countryside Link, a coalition of 94 environmental and wildlife groups, what they make of the plan. Storm Desmond hit the North West of England 10 years ago and brought record breaking amounts of heavy rain: a month's worth fell in just 24 hours. That led to flooding, bridges, roads and livestock were washed away, farmland ruined and thousands of homes inundated. The eventual bill for the damage was put at more than a billion pounds. In Glenridding in Cumbria the flooding led to a project working with farmers, nature and the landscape. Its aim: to try and reduce the vulnerability of the area to future flooding. All week we're going to look at the jobs left for winter when things on the farm are a bit quieter. We're starting with hedge laying: winter is the traditional time to tackle this - the birds have long finished nesting, and by partly cutting through the trees and shrubs that you lay over to form the hedge, you allow it to rejuvenate in time for next spring. Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

"If only I had more willpower, then I could stop overeating sweets...exercise more...and finally lose weight!"  These are common beliefs amongst those who have struggled with their health goals for a long time. So you may have wondered why we don't talk much about "willpower" on this podcast. Today we are going to address why we don't promote it as a primary weight management strategy. The truth is, willpower is limited and finite in nature, and one's belief in their willpower capability can greatly impact their behavior. Instead, we would like to introduce you to concepts we prefer and find more helpful and empowering. We also discuss the importance of engineering your environment and leveraging social support to make healthier choices easier. If you want to manage your whole state, strengthen your self control, and create a supportive environment for long-term healthy eating habits, then we hope you join us for this episode!

California's Crossroads: John Duarte Talks Leadership, Agriculture, and the Future of the Golden State On a special Thanksgiving edition of the AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter,” sat down with John Duarte—farmer, nursery leader, and former congressman—for a candid discussion about California's political climate, agricultural innovation, and the future of farming families across the state. The conversation, replayed as a “best of” segment, highlighted Duarte's belief that California is on the verge of a major shift—one driven by common sense, economic revitalization, and a renewed respect for the agricultural backbone of the state. A Call for Common Sense Leadership in California When asked whether California can “switch and get back to common sense,” Duarte didn't hesitate. Yes, it can. He emphasized that meaningful change is on the horizon, largely driven by everyday Californians who are tired of policies that push families, businesses, and young people out of the state. Duarte voiced strong support for candidates like Chad Blanco and Steve Hilton, stressing that whoever emerges from the primary will have his full backing. He believes the 2026 gubernatorial race will center around one theme: California is being left behind, even as the rest of the country surges ahead economically and environmentally. According to Duarte, America is already showing signs of powerful economic growth. Environmental progress and economic success don't have to be mutually exclusive, he argues. In his view, California's current policies have unnecessarily sacrificed jobs, infrastructure, and quality of life in the name of environmentalism—often without meaningful environmental gains to show for it. Meanwhile, families across the state are watching their children move to places like Tennessee, Georgia, and Oklahoma for opportunities California can no longer offer. Duarte believes that this exodus will eventually create enough pressure to push California toward more practical, future-focused leadership. Infrastructure, Water, and the High-Speed Rail Debate Duarte didn't hold back when discussing the state's long-criticized bullet train project—calling it the “bullet to the head train.” He contrasted the billions invested into the rail line with the massive impact that same funding could have had on drinking water systems, treatment facilities, and rural infrastructure. During his time in Congress, he said, the federal government poured $4 billion into the project. At even modest estimates, that money could have built dozens—if not hundreds—of essential water projects across California's farm-dependent regions. For Duarte, this is the clearest example of a state government that prioritizes symbolism over solutions. An “abundance-oriented society,” he argues, invests in the infrastructure that improves real lives: water storage, treatment, delivery, and the systems that keep agriculture thriving. He draws a distinction between what he calls the “lords of scarcity”—coastal elites who push restrictive policies—and the “champions of abundance”—farmers, energy producers, and working people who generate the food, power, and materials society depends on. And Duarte is clear: the champions of abundance are about to kick butt in California. A Conversation Between Colleagues and Friends After wrapping the interview, Papagni and co-host Lorrie Boyer reflected on their conversation with Duarte. Boyer praised him for his clarity and willingness to elaborate on complex issues—something listeners appreciate. Papagni agreed, adding that the Duarte family itself is remarkable. John's wife, Alexandra Duarte, is now running for office, continuing the family's commitment to public service and agricultural advocacy. Papagni highlighted John Duarte's accomplishments in the nursery industry, where he helped refine varieties of almond trees, table grapes, and trellis systems. Boyer wondered how someone even gets started in such an industry; Papagni explained that Duarte entered the nursery world in the 1990s and has spent decades experimenting, innovating, and anticipating the needs of future growers. One example: Duarte's ambition to bring avocado production to California's Central Valley—a bold move that could extend the state's avocado season and reshape a key market dominated by Southern California growers. Both hosts emphasized that agriculture is one of the most technologically advanced, forward-thinking industries in the world. Duarte's continual experimentation—sometimes successful, sometimes not—is part of what makes him and his nursery widely respected. Thanksgiving Reflections and the Farming Lifestyle As the show transitioned into its Thanksgiving morning segment, Papagni and Boyer shifted into a warm, lighthearted conversation about holiday traditions, cooking turkey, and the simple joys of family time. Papagni pictured farmers out checking their orchards and fields early in the day before heading home to celebrate—a familiar rhythm for agricultural families. Their playful banter ranged from turkey recipes to brisket, to the famous Santa Maria tri-tip, to the challenge of feeding large groups with slow-cooked meats. It provided a relatable, personal counterbalance to the more serious political discussions earlier in the program. The hosts closed by previewing an upcoming “best of” interview with Stuart Woolf, a well-known Westside Fresno grower who is experimenting with agave as a low-water crop that could transform the region into an agave—and potentially tequila—hub.

After five years of review, the government has struck a deal with the Greens to pass the largest reforms to Australia's environmental laws in 26 years, which includes new environmental standards, protections for native forests, and the effective end of fast-tracked approvals for coal and gas projects. Despite these wins, the deal faces criticism from environmental experts.

What does it mean to confront climate change? Amol speaks to broadcaster and campaigner Chris Packham who says conservationists like him have not done enough to protect nature. After the COP climate summit in Brazil ended without new targets to reduce the use of fossil fuels, he wants the UK government to lead a global emergency action plan as it did in World War Two and during the 2008 financial crisis to address what he calls climate and nature breakdown. The Springwatch and Winterwatch presenter also highlights the importance of biodiversity, how carbon emissions affect our health, and the practical steps individuals can take to make a difference. But ultimately he says we need a policy shift, which makes polluters pay. Chris also speaks candidly about his neurodiversity, his compulsion to speak truth to power and the personal price he pays for his campaigning.

Conservationists have accused the government of turning its back on nature in the new planning bill which is making its way through parliament. The RSPB says the legislation is creating a new tried and untested process which will put nature and nature markets at risk.We often talk about exports of produce like beef and dairy but exporting farm animal genetics is also big business. The industry estimates that around 70 per cent of the world's farmed poultry orginates from UK breeding stock, while UK cattle genetics are now exported to 100 countries around the world. A new agreement with Kenya will see sheep and goat genetics exported there. The UK Export Certification Partnership is a public-private grouping which promotes the export of livestock products, breeding stock and genetics. All this week, we're checking in with the dairy industry. Over the last 30 years, the size of the UK dairy herd has been gradually falling, while average milk yields, that's the number of litres a cow produces, has been steadily increasing. That increase is partly down to using new technology like on-demand robotic milking machines. We visit a herd of indoor cows in Wiltshire.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

The latest AgNet News Hour delivers a wide-ranging look at the issues shaping American agriculture—from meat-industry shakeups to the rapid evolution of organic farming technology. Hosts Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer blend personal updates with in-depth interviews and industry analysis, creating a vivid picture of the pressures and opportunities facing today's producers. Holiday Reflections and Shifting Trends in American Beef The program opens with lighthearted Thanksgiving conversation, including cooking traditions and reflections on a recent interview about preparing the perfect turkey. But the tone quickly shifts as the hosts discuss a major jolt to the U.S. beef industry: Tyson Foods' decision to close a key Nebraska processing facility. The plant, which employed roughly 3,000 workers and handled nearly 5% of daily U.S. beef slaughter, has broad implications for cattle markets, regional economies, and long-term production capacity. Nick and Lorrie explore the underlying pressures contributing to the closure, including: Declining cattle numbers Rising labor and operational costs Expanding automation Increasing regulatory burdens Concerns for rural communities dependent on packing-house jobs These factors, they note, are reshaping beef production and accelerating the push toward efficiency and technology across the supply chain. Spotlight on the Organic Grower Summit in Monterey The show transitions into an extended conversation with Matt Jungmann, Senior Director of Events for the Organic Grower Summit (OGS), scheduled for December 3–4 in Monterey, California. Jungmann outlines the mission and growth of the summit, which brings together growers, researchers, suppliers, and innovators advancing the organic marketplace. He highlights several key components of this year's event: Educational Sessions & Key Issues Regulatory challenges for U.S. organic producers Labor shortages and rising wage pressures Banking, finance, and risk management Regenerative farming and soil health Marketing, consumer trends, and retailer engagement Retail chains such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Sprouts—longtime champions of organic demand—continue to play a significant role in pushing the category forward. Automation, Robotics, and New Tech Demonstrations Jungmann emphasizes that technology is becoming a central force in the organic sector. While organic acreage is growing steadily rather than rapidly, he notes that the barriers to converting new ground remain high. For many producers, automation offers a path to improved efficiency and long-term sustainability. Among the most anticipated summit attractions: Autonomous weeding and cultivation machines AI-driven tools for mechanical pest and weed control Concept robotics from startups such as Reservoir Hands-on demonstrations showing how machines perform in real organic environments He stresses that as chemical options narrow—especially with fewer new pesticides entering the organic toolbox—mechanical and robotic solutions are filling critical gaps. Community, Collaboration, and the Organic Grower of the Year Beyond technology, Youngman celebrates the strong community that defines organic agriculture. The summit fosters a sense of fellowship, giving growers space to exchange ideas, compare seasons, and learn from firsthand experience. He also highlights the Organic Grower of the Year finalists, representing innovation, stewardship, and leadership across multiple states. The award underscores the dedication required to farm organically in an era marked by rising costs, fluctuating markets, and rigorous regulatory frameworks. California's Regulatory Reality vs. the Rest of the Nation The interview includes a candid discussion of how California's farming environment differs dramatically from states like Illinois, where Jungmann grew up. California producers face: Significantly higher labor costs More intensive regulatory requirements Water uncertainty Environmental compliance challenges Market pressures from global competitors with lower production costs Jungmann argues that the future of California agriculture may hinge on growers' ability to embrace new efficiencies—and events like OGS help equip them for that transition. Industry Conversations Continue at the National Association of Farm Broadcasting Convention After the interview concludes, the show returns to Lorrie Boyer, who recounts her recent trip to the National Association of Farm Broadcasting annual convention in Kansas City. The event provided a deep dive into: Commodity and livestock market outlooks Fertilizer prices and global supply chains Weather impacts on crop production Innovations in machinery and agritech Geopolitical pressures influencing U.S. agriculture Consumer nutrition trends and the federal MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) report She also notes discussions around Proposition 12, nutrition policy, new consumer-facing pork campaigns, and the impact of synthetic food dyes on children's health. Rising Consumer Awareness and the Push for Better Food Quality The show ends with a discussion about food dyes and the slow pace of regulatory change. A parent from California shared how removing dyes transformed her son's health—an example the hosts use to highlight growing consumer scrutiny of food ingredients. This concern ties directly back to the organic movement and the mission of improving food quality, even as healthier products come at a higher cost. Final Thoughts From meat-industry upheaval to breakthroughs in organic farming, the AgNet News Hour offers a candid snapshot of modern agriculture's evolving landscape. Whether it's automation, regulation, or shifting consumer demands, producers across the country are adapting quickly—and conversations like these help illuminate the challenges and opportunities ahead.

The Evolutionary Tug-of-War - Inflammation's Double-Edged Sword "Environmental factors, particularly infections, have fundamentally shaped human evolution by selecting for protective inflammatory response mechanisms that enhance survival. This evolutionary pressure has created a core biological paradox: inflammation is indispensable for host defense, yet its dysregulation significantly heightens disease and mortality risk. This fundamental tension raises three fundamental questions about human aging and immunity: (1) How have selective pressures driven the evolution of mechanisms to balance inflammation's protective benefits against its harmful consequences? (2) Why does substantial variability in healthspan persist despite historically stable rates of aging? (3) Does evolutionary prioritization of reproductive fitness inherently limit longevity?" (Manoharan et. al. 2025) Let's talk about the fire inside us. Inflammation is our body's 911 system: lightning-fast, life-saving when a bug invades or a thorn rips skin. But leave that alarm blaring 24/7 and the fire torches the house. Evolution faced this paradox: crank the immune dial high enough to survive infection and childbirth, yet install brakes so we don't self-destruct by 40. Manoharan's team just mapped those brakes in 17,500 humans and called it immune resilience (IR) or the ability to fight hard, clean up fast, and stay cool afterward... and linguistic aging associations...

Why do governments rely on coercion and punishment when voluntary cooperation often produces better, more sustainable outcomes?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined once again by Professor Yuval Feldman, who returns to explore the core question behind his latest book: Can The Public Be Trusted? Instead of asking how much we trust our governments, Yuval flips the script, asking how much governments trust us, and whether that trust is deserved. Together, we dive into the concept of voluntary compliance, where people follow rules not because they're forced to, but because they believe in doing the right thing. We unpack the complexity of this idea through real-world examples, from tax compliance to environmental policy to COVID-19 interventions. Yuval explains why people who think they're ethical can actually be the hardest to regulate, and how misplaced trust can lead to serious regulatory blind spots. We also explore the psychological tension between intrinsic motivation and external enforcement, and why regulators often default to command-and-control, even when trust might offer a better solution. As ever, Yuval makes nuanced, sophisticated ideas feel accessible and immediately relevant. You'll hear about the role of culture, the limits of nudging, why economists might (sometimes!) actually be right about human behaviour and how AI might help policymakers make better decisions. Guest BioProfessor Yuval Feldman is a legal scholar and behavioural scientist at Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

The fascinating intersections of circadian biology, quantum health, and women's wellness really come alive as I sit down with Neurosurgeon-turned-Quantum-Biologist Dr. Jack Kruse. You'll hear how simple things, like the light you see first thing in the morning, quietly shape your hormones, energy, and even how you age. Dr. Jack's decades of surgical and biophysical knowledge make these concepts surprisingly practical for everyday health. By the end, you may find yourself rethinking your daily routines in the best way.   Together, we get into why AM sunlight can make such a big difference for women going through hormonal changes, especially around menopause. Dr. Jack breaks down big ideas like heteroplasmy in simple, eye-opening terms and shows how it plays into skin health, longevity, and mitochondrial function. You'll also hear why red light deserves a place in your wellness routine, and how blue light and non-native EMFs might be draining more than just your battery.   If you've ever struggled with weight changes, low energy, or hormonal shifts, you'll appreciate Dr. Jack's explanation of the leptin-melanocortin pathway and what it means for women at every age. His own 150-pound weight-loss story adds real heart to the science and shows how much can change when your environment starts working for you instead of against you. This episode delivers a mix of empowering insights and simple shifts you can start today for better vitality.   And before you go, make sure to download my Free Holiday Recipe Guide, a delicious, hormone-friendly way to enjoy festive, Keto-Green dishes all season long at dranna.com.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan explains the sharp drop in U.S. markets, the internal divide inside the Federal Reserve, Trump's push to revive the housing market, and new White House actions on immigration, energy, and manufacturing. He also brings global updates from Iran, Syria, Germany, and Ukraine. Markets Slide After Record High: The Dow fell sharply after reaching a new peak earlier in the week. Bryan notes that overvalued stocks, high levels of margin debt, and concerns about an AI bubble are creating real fear on Wall Street. He warns that the pullback signals deeper economic stress that has been building for months. Federal Reserve Split on Rate Cuts: Fed leaders cannot agree on whether to lower interest rates again. Some point to weakening jobs data, falling retail spending, and rising household debt. Others claim the economy is stable. Bryan counters that missed car payments, climbing credit card balances, and new foreclosures show that ordinary Americans are under serious strain. White House Floats Portable Mortgages: The administration is considering a plan that would let homeowners transfer their low mortgage rates to a new house. Bryan explains that the idea could unlock the frozen housing market. He also highlights JD Vance's argument that deportation of millions of illegal immigrants could free up homes, which mirrors Canada's recent experience. Immigration Crackdown Widens: Trump revived the public charge rule and added new medical screenings to keep out foreigners who are likely to require long-term care. The State Department says the change protects taxpayers and ensures economically stable immigration. Democrats call the policy discriminatory. Trump says it is simply common sense. Energy and Manufacturing Developments: New York approved a natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania after pressure from Washington. Supporters say it will lower electricity costs. Environmental activists are furious. Meanwhile, Toyota announced a fourteen billion dollar hybrid battery plant in North Carolina. Bryan calls it proof that the administration's trade strategy is reshaping global manufacturing. Iran's Water Crisis: Iran's leaders warned the capital city of Tehran could run out of water within weeks. Officials asked citizens to ration water and pray. Bryan argues the crisis reflects decades of corruption and mismanagement inside the regime. Trump Meets Syria's New President: Syria's leader asked the United States for help rebuilding his military. The meeting became awkward when Trump jokingly sprayed him with Trump for Men cologne. Video of JD Vance trying not to laugh has already gone viral. Europe Confronts Migration Fallout: Germany confirmed a polio case traced to an Afghan migrant. The city of Magdeburg canceled its Christmas market because of terror concerns. Bryan says Europe's leaders are refusing to face reality about the risks created by uncontrolled migration. Ukraine Corruption Scandal: Ukrainian officials close to President Zelensky were arrested for stealing one hundred million dollars from the defense ministry. Bryan warns that American and European patience with Kyiv is rapidly fading. Good News for the Weekend: A British study found that walking only fifteen minutes a day can reduce the risk of early death by more than eighty percent. Bryan encourages listeners to get outside, breathe deeply, and enjoy the gift of movement.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Dow market drop, Federal Reserve rate debate, portable mortgages housing policy, Trump immigration public charge, New York natural gas pipeline, Toyota hybrid battery plant, Iran water shortage Tehran, Trump Syria meeting cologne, Germany polio migrant case, Ukraine corruption arrests, fifteen minute walking study
