    The Silent Epidemic: Why Millions Are Insulin Resistant and Don't Know It | John Goldman

    How many people are pre-diabetic right now and have absolutely no idea? The numbers are staggering, and left unchecked, this subtle condition can eventually cost people their mobility, organs, and even their lives. I'm joined by John Goldman, founder of Rebel Health Alliance, who turned his health crisis at 45 into a mission to help others avoid the same predicament. He walks us through the diagnostics that revealed he was (in his words) a metabolic disaster, and the seven-part philosophy he used to reverse it.  We get into why walking after meals is one of the most underrated tools for blood sugar control, what a continuous glucose monitor can teach you about your body, and why John believes healthcare should involve a coordinated team instead of a single rushed doctor's visit.  We also explore GLP-1 medications, muscle loss, and why so many people are setting themselves up to fail when they misuse these powerful drugs.    "Don't be afraid of the fact that your blood sugar spikes, because it's going to spike whenever you eat anything. You can lower blood sugar by just getting up and moving around." ~ John Goldman   In This Episode: - John's wake-up call at 45  - The Rebel Health Alliance philosophy on longevity  - Why walking is the easiest insulin resistance fix  - The scale of America's pre-diabetes crisis  - How movement helps in building muscle mass - The benefit of an identity-based lifestyle change  - Symptoms of insulin resistance - Health insights from continuous glucose monitors - How alcohol wrecks blood sugar and sleep  - Peptides, muscle loss, and how to do it right - How to connect with John and Rebel Health Alliance   Products & Resources Mentioned: Rebel Health Alliance: Access personalized medical care focused on optimization and longevity, guided by your unique biology and long-term health goals from the elite medical team at https://rebelhealthalliance.io/  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5  Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and get a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20 Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body.

He was tired, overworked, and uninspired by a healthcare system that waits for people to get sick before doing anything about it. So, he decided to rebel. As the Founder & CEO of Rebel Health Alliance, John built a new kind of healthcare company—one designed to make you stronger, sharper, and more resilient right now. And to prove what's possible, he's turning himself into the ultimate case study: transforming from average to elite, aiming to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 18 months or less.

    "I'd already finished my cardiovascular unit. I'd finished my pulmonary unit. I had never heard about this in any of my classes." That was Dr. Joel Bervell's reaction to discovering that a device used every day in hospitals -- the pulse oximeter -- reads less accurately on darker skin tones. He posted a 30-second video about this consequential discrepancy that, to his utter surprise, gained over 500,000 views by the next morning. That video launched Dr. Bervell into orbit as a social media presence and created his identity as The Medical Mythbuster. In just a few years, he's built a following of two million people, earned a Peabody Award and was named to the inaugural Time 100 Creators list, all while finishing his residency.  On this episode of Raise the Line, host Lindsey Smith welcomes Dr. Bervell to explore the roots of this kind of bias and the real world impact of drawing attention to it. “The most impactful biases in medicine exist because no one stops to ask who was included in the original data and who was left out,” Dr. Bervell explains. Stay tuned to also learn about: His YouTube animated series The Doctor is In which helps kids understand how their bodies work, as well as providing medical role models; How to build trust with marginalized communities; His forthcoming book, The Default Body which examines who medicine was actually designed for.

    Men Talking Mindfulness
    Male Loneliness Epidemic, and How Emotional Intelligence can help men Connect. - Dr. J.J. Kelly

    Men Talking Mindfulness

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 24, 2026 65:05


    One of the biggest reasons why many men are suffering with loneliness is their lack of emotional intelligence and emotional literacy. Dr. J.J. Kelly, the Punk Rock Doc, is a clinical psychologist who runs a practice called The Unorthodox. She is the author of the Holy Shit book series and recently wrote a piece for Vice on why men are so damn lonely. In this returning appearance, she joins Jon and Will to make a blunt, funny, and genuinely useful case: the male loneliness epidemic is about emotional illiteracy. The good news is that emotional intelligence is a set of skills anyone can learn if they are willing to do the work. This common challenge stems from limited opportunities to develop these vital skills earlier in life. Fortunately, emotional intelligence and emotional literacy are abilities anyone can strengthen through consistent practice. Men who cultivate these capacities gain the tools to identify their feelings, communicate with honesty, and form authentic connections. This growth supports men's mental health and creates space for deeper friendships and brotherhood. Mindfulness and emotional awareness practices further enhance resilience and a sense of belonging, leading to richer relationships, greater purpose, and happier, healthier lives.IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:1.  Why emotional illiteracy — not circumstance — is the root of male loneliness2.  Insight is not a skill: why reading every book changes nothing until you practice3.  Name it to tame it: validation and acceptance before change (the backbone of DBT)4.  The values exercise: behaving according to your values even when you're activated5.  Eating your shit sandwich with dignity, and why courage rarely backfiresMore about Dr. J.J.

    Have you optimized your diet, dialed in your supplements, but you're still exhausted, foggy, and can't sleep? What if the missing piece isn't another protocol, but the fact that you're spending 93% of your life indoors? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John La Puma to unpack the science behind his new book, Indoor Epidemic. We get into why the brightness of outdoor light governs half your genes, and why your bedtime predicts longevity better than your total hours of sleep. Dr. John explains the minimum effective dose of outdoor time your body needs, why "light first, coffee second" matters, and simple ways to turn nature into a free, powerful medical intervention.    "Having a two-hour forest bathing session can improve natural killer cell activity and number by 56%." ~ Dr. John La Puma   In This Episode: - What is the indoor epidemic? - How light sets your circadian rhythm - The 17-minute effective dose and morning light protocol  - How gardening impacts the microbiome - Additional tips to explore outdoors more - Benefits of watching the sunrise and sunset - The 7-day Outdoor Rx reset program - Where to get Dr. John's book and more resources   Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. John La Puma's Book, Indoor Epidemic: 93% Inside Steals Sleep, Focus & Years - The 7% Outdoor Rx Restores Them: https://indoorepidemic.com  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5   Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. John La Puma: John La Puma, MD, ChefMD, is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, board-certified internist, and professionally trained chef who pioneered Culinary Medicine. He now pioneers EcoMedicine from his small regenerative teaching farm. His upcoming book, Indoor Epidemic, reveals how spending 93% of life indoors steals sleep, focus, and years, and how reclaiming just 7% outdoors can restore them using the evidence-based Outdoor Rx framework. This is a clinically validated intervention, presenting nature as foundational medicine, an essential component of health and the missing pillar in optimizing longevity and healthspan.

    Despite gains in recent years, Black, Hispanic, and Asian communities are still under-represented in the U.S. nursing workforce. We're going to explore that gap and how to close it on this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier with Dr. Ernest Grant, Vice Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at the Duke University School of Nursing. "You get a patient who is more compliant when they see someone who looks like them, who is from their culture and who can advocate on their behalf," he tells host Lindsey Smith.  Dr. Grant bases that and other insights on a rich professional background that includes 50 years in nursing, being a leading advocate for his profession and breaking down barriers himself as a male nurse of color and the first man elected president of the American Nurses Association.  In this thoughtful conversation, Dr. Grant reflects on what it took to earn credibility in leadership roles, how he's navigating the political climate on DEI initiatives, and the causes and solutions to the persistent shortage in nursing faculty, among other pressing issues. Tune in for a uniquely-informed look at what it will take to build a stronger, more representative nursing profession.

    Rin Reczek spent two decades studying families before she turned her research toward estrangement. What she found in the data took her by complete surprise. In this conversation, the sociologist and author of Families We Lose explains why the estrangement rate probably isn't actually rising, why the language of "honor thy father and mother" shows up even in nonreligious families, and why grandparent estrangement is almost never the selfish, spiteful choice it gets painted as online.In this episode, you'll learn:- What "compulsory kinship" means, and how biology-based language like "step" and "half" quietly signals hierarchy in families- Why religious phrases about honoring parents show up in estrangement stories even among people who aren't religious- Why the data doesn't support the idea that adult children are cutting off grandparents to be controlling or spitefulConnect with Rin ReczekWebsite: www.rinreczek.comBuy Rin's Book: https://amzn.to/4guKWI2Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.Have a question for Whitney?

In this video, I break down why so many new streetwear brands, fashion brands, lifestyle brands, and print-on-demand businesses are entering the market, why most struggle to get customers, and why the barrier to starting a clothing brand is completely different from the barrier to building a successful clothing brand. We dive into aspirational oversupply, excess entry, monopolistic competition, the Pareto Principle, power law distribution, brand differentiation, social media marketing, customer attention, emotional attachment, cultural relevance, and why simply making good clothing is no longer enough to grow a clothing brand in 2026.If you're trying to figure out how to start a clothing brand, how to grow a streetwear brand, how to market a clothing brand, how to get your first customers, or why your clothing brand isn't growing, this video explains the economics and psychology working against new brands and how to use them to your advantage. I break down cumulative advantage, the Matthew Effect, positive feedback loops, social proof, brand awareness, customer acquisition, organic marketing, Instagram and TikTok growth, clothing brand strategy, entrepreneurship, ecommerce, Shopify, print on demand, and the “liability of newness” that makes the first few years of building a brand so difficult.

    What does God say about how we see our bodies? Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar begin by discussing the rising prevalence of eating disorders and the cultural pressures that shape self-perception. They explore how social media, comparison, and the desire for acceptance have fueled unhealthy relationships with food and body image, reminding listeners that true identity is not found in appearance but in being created in the image of God. Rather than allowing the world's standards to define beauty and worth, believers are called to see themselves through the lens of God's truth.The conversation then moves beyond physical appearance to the deeper issues of the heart. The guys explain that while eating disorders can have many contributing factors, the underlying struggle often centers on worship, identity, and misplaced affection. They remind listeners that God alone is the source of beauty and that every person possesses intrinsic value because they bear His image. Whether someone feels inadequate, forgotten, or consumed by comparison, Scripture declares that the Lord intentionally created them and that they never exist by accident. The gospel offers a foundation for identity that no shifting standard of beauty can ever provide.From there, the discussion turns to practical wisdom for cultivating a healthy relationship with food and the body. The guys encourage parents to speak carefully about health and self-control rather than appearance, helping children develop habits that honor the Lord rather than chase unrealistic ideals. They also emphasize that food is a good gift from God to be enjoyed with gratitude rather than abused through excess or deprivation. As believers seek first the kingdom of God, they are freed to pursue contentment rather than comparison, recognizing that their bodies ultimately belong to Christ and were created to be stewarded faithfully for His glory rather than used to seek the approval of others.Finally, the guys point listeners back to the hope of the gospel for those who are struggling. They remind anyone battling an eating disorder that they are not beyond God's love, that help is available, and that lasting freedom is found in Christ rather than in changing their appearance. True acceptance is not earned by a number on a scale but received through the finished work of Jesus. Ultimately, this conversation encourages believers to find their worth in the One who created them, redeemed them, and calls them His own.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

    For decades, the South Side of Chicago didn't have an operating trauma care center. This forced severely wounded people to drive to the West or North sides for care – their chances of survival reducing with every passing minute.   After a successful community-organizing campaign, University of Chicago reopened its adult trauma care center in 2018. One of the doctors behind this vital community resource is Dr. Selwyn Rogers, the founding director of the center. Because of his work, countless lives were saved. Now, Dr. Rogers is out with a new book that chronicles his experiences in the trauma bay and provides critical analysis of America's gun violence epidemic. In the Loop sits down with him to talk more about the lasting and rippling impacts of gun violence and what to do to make meaningful change.GUEST: Dr. Selwyn Rogers, founding director, University of Chicago Medicine Trauma Center; author, Healing the Gun Violence Epidemic: Ending Violence, Rebuilding Communities,and a Trauma Surgeon's Vision for Restoring HopeFor a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.

    What does it take to compete on the world's biggest stage and then pivot to one of the most demanding training paths in professional life? Today's guest, Samantha "Sammy" Kolowrat, has done both, and she has some fascinating insights into the commonalities of those two worlds on this episode of Raise the Line. “Something that really drew me to medicine is the team atmosphere that's there as you work towards a common goal, and there's this level of intensity that's very reminiscent of the experiences I had as a professional athlete.” Originally from Prague, Kolowrat represented Czechia at six IIHF Women's World Championships and the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and also captained the Division I women's hockey team at the University of Vermont while earning degrees in biology and pharmacology.  As she starts an anesthesiology residency at Vanderbilt University, she credits her athletic career with shaping how she handles pressure, feedback, and teamwork in medicine. "The more I improve, the more knowledge I acquire, the more skills I hone, the better care my patients get," she tells host Lindsey Smith, describing what drew her to a field that rewards the same relentless fine-tuning as elite sports. This engaging conversation also explores: How crippling performance anxiety as a Division I athlete ended up preparing Kolowrat for the operating room; Why she was drawn to anesthesiology's "well-oiled machine" atmosphere; The mentorship gap she's working to close for the next generation of athlete-physicians.

    What is the black fungus epidemic? Thanks for asking! Since May 2021, India has been faced with an additional epidemic on top of Covid-19. It's that of a black fungus, also known as mucormycosis. This rare infection spreads among Covid patients, first of all attacking their faces, in particular the nose, sinuses or eyes, before moving onto the brain and lungs. According to AFP, India has recorded over 45,000 black fungus cases in the last two months. That's compared to less than 20 cases per year in pre-Covid times. The real figure may be much higher and the epidemic is causing major concern, especially given the infection has a mortality rate of 50%. Why has this epidemic taken off in India? What is done to treat those infected with mucormycosis? Is the black fungus a new kind of Covid then? Has it been seen in other countries? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: ⁠What is geophony? ⁠ ⁠What is Earth Overshoot Day?⁠ ⁠What is Godwin's Law?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

    What if trusting God in hard seasons could change how you face fear, pain, and uncertainty? In this episode, Susie Larson shares how to build resilient trust in God, heal from past wounds, and stop striving for control. Watch the full conversation and discover a deeper way to walk with God.I'm so excited to welcome my dear friend Susie Larson back to Visibly Fit. Susie is a bestselling author, national speaker, and the voice behind Susie Larson Live. Her new book, More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him, explores what can happen when we truly give God access to our stories and choose to trust Him—even when we don't understand what He is doing.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Susie's story about her husband, Kev, and the powerful healing encounter he experienced when he finally allowed God to reach a deep wound in his heart. His story is such a beautiful reminder that God doesn't humiliate His children—He invites us into healing, freedom, and deeper trust.We also talk honestly about the temptation to numb ourselves through distraction, pleasure, busyness, and other shortcuts instead of allowing God to meet us in our pain. Susie reminds us that we can position ourselves on the path of God's promises even when we cannot manufacture a “God encounter.”And if you're walking through a difficult season right now, I hope this conversation reminds you of something important: you can build resilient trust before the storm comes so that when the storm arrives, you know where to stand.Podcast Timestamp[00:00] Podcast preview[01:33] Topic and Guest Introduction[04:14] Susie Larson's New Book[05:10] What God Does When You Trust Him[06:22] Faith vs. Trust[07:35] When the Enemy Attacks Your Identity[08:35] Walking With God at the Pace of Grace[10:06] Discovering Your Identity in Christ[12:42] What It Looks Like to Walk in the Spirit[14:18] Walking in the Spirit vs. the Flesh[16:37] When God Uses Your Triggers to Heal[18:10] Kev's Story of Healing[23:39] Giving God Access to Your Story[25:12] Building Resilient Trust[26:30] The Epidemic of Numbing Out[29:31] Don't Settle in the Day of Crisis[30:48] Building a Spiritual Battle Box [32:27] When Trust Means Rising Up[35:20] You Can Be Powerful Even When You Don't Feel Well[[38:04] Faith-Filled Perseverance vs. Fear-Driven Striving[42:55] Get Susie Larson's New Book[44:27] How to Build Resilient Trust[45:13] Book Launch Invitation and ResourcesResources mentioned:

    An 11-year-old boy in rural Zambia once told Dr. Genesis Mwamba that he was about to attend school wearing shoes for the first time in his life. That moment, Dr. Mwamba says, crystallized why he started the Lead Me Back Foundation to provide school supplies and other support to marginalized communities in his native country.   As you'll learn in this inspiring installment in our NextGen Journeys series, Dr. Mwamba started the foundation in 2021while still a medical student because he had experienced the power of education as an “equalizer” in his own life, taking him from humble roots to a career in medicine. He and his colleagues have grown the bootstrapped organization to a point where it now provides hundreds of thousands of people across the country with educational access, climate education and community health clinics. “I've always been drawn to opportunities and initiatives that bring help to humankind,” he tells Raise the Line host Dr. Parsa Mohri.

    Anika sat down with Andrew Bolton, CEO and co-founder of Tech Rescue, to explore the massive cultural and corporate shift currently prioritizing artificial intelligence over human connection—and why it's a losing bet. Starting from a moment of intense frustration while trying to help his grandmother with technology, Andrew bootstrapped a 24/7, human-only tech support company that has defied the "chatbot era" of Silicon Valley. Andrew's journey offers a masterclass in recognizing the power of empathy in business, building culture in a service company, and why trusting the basics of customer care is the ultimate growth hack.   In This Episode   The origins of Tech Rescue: Why a simple email forward sparked a fast-growing business How the tech industry has abandoned the 14% of Americans who struggle with modern devices The psychological and physiological benefits of talking to a human over a robot Why implementing a strict "no AI, no chatbots" policy became their greatest competitive advantage Bootstrapping the company with his mother as CFO after getting rejected by traditional VCs The connection between lowering a caller's cortisol levels and boosting corporate retention rates Why the modern education system's failures present a massive threat to the U.S. workforce How Tech Rescue grew from answering calls at 2 AM to a team of 78 employees in three years The danger of monopolies and the slow creep of corporate mediocrity Why real success isn't just about billions—it's about protecting creativity, connection, and culture   Timestamps   00:00 Introduction: Solving a human problem in an AI world 01:34 The origin story: Watching an 80-year-old struggle to forward an email 04:47 How the relentless pace of tech has left 14% of the population behind 09:21 The death of customer service: Why optimization actually means abandonment 11:24 The ultimate value proposition: Choosing humans over chatbots 16:01 Walking away from Wall Street to build a business with his mom 18:51 The fundamental truth: How you treat your customers is how they treat your wallet 22:15 Building a 24/7 call center powered by psychology majors, not IT techs 24:01 The science of empathy: Lowering cortisol to reduce call times and save money 26:27 Smacking the "Palo Alto 5-year plan" and proving empathy is profitable 33:13 Why hiring for emotional intelligence is harder—and more important—than hiring for tech skills 36:31 A warning about the U.S. education system and the future of the workforce 43:25 Why becoming a billionaire in a mediocre world means absolutely nothing 48:44 Conclusion: The core mission of connecting people   Key Insights & Takeaways   Insight 1: "Optimization" Often Just Means Abandonment   For the last decade, companies have used terms like "optimization" or "streamlining" to justify firing their HR, sales, and customer service departments, replacing them with endless phone trees and chatbots. This has created a massive void in the market where customers are desperate to speak with a real human—a void that human-centric businesses can easily and profitably fill.   Insight 2: Empathy is a Quantifiable Metric   Tech Rescue hires psychology and sociology majors rather than IT professionals because teaching tech is easier than teaching empathy. According to medical studies, simply addressing a caller by their name can lower cortisol and adrenaline levels by 13%. In a call center environment, a calmer customer translates directly to a conversation that ends seven minutes sooner, vastly reducing operational costs and boosting retention.   Insight 3: The "No Chatbot" Guarantee is a Growth Strategy   While VCs and marketing agencies constantly pressure companies to adopt AI to save money, Tech Rescue found that their greatest selling point is their strict refusal to use it. In a world where consumers are fatigued by automated voices and generic AI outputs, guaranteeing a human interaction builds a level of brand trust and loyalty that algorithms cannot replicate.   Insight 4: Generational Tech Gaps Require Psychological Safety   Older generations aren't just confused by rapidly changing tech (like Meta rearranging its settings menus multiple times a year); they are often embarrassed to ask for help. Tech Rescue provides a psychologically safe space for users to ask questions—whether it's about online banking or setting up a dating profile on Bumble—without feeling rushed or condescended to.   Insight 5: You Can Make Money by Doing Good in the World   Andrew pushes back against the modern corporate mandate of "alpha at all costs," which he argues leads to monotonous, poor-quality products and a lack of innovation. His core philosophy—often repeated as "Business 101"—is that if you solve a genuine problem and treat people with respect, the financial success will naturally follow. Monopolies prevent competition, but incredible customer service shatters monopolies.   Resources & Links Mentioned Tech Rescue   About Andrew Bolton   Andrew Bolton is the CEO and co-founder of Tech Rescue, a 24/7 human-powered tech support company. A Harvard-trained strategist with Wall Street roots, Andrew walked away from traditional corporate America to build a business centered entirely around empathy, trust, and connection. He co-founded the company alongside his mother after witnessing firsthand how the modern tech industry disregards the elderly and the less tech-savvy. Today, he manages a growing team of 78 employees out of a call center in Colorado, proving that human connection is the ultimate competitive advantage.   Connect with Andrew Bolton Website: https://techrescue.io/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    For decades, we've been told that eating less fat is one of the healthiest things we can do. That advice reshaped the foods we buy, the way we think about weight loss, and even how parents feed their children.But what if we misunderstood fat in the first place?In this episode, nutrition researcher Dr. Arne Astrup traces how the war on fat began, why many of its core assumptions haven't held up under decades of research, and what we've learned instead. Rather than asking whether fat is "good" or "bad," he argues that the more useful questions are: What foods actually keep us healthy? Why do some people gain weight more easily than others? And what happens when we reduce nutrition to single nutrients instead of whole foods?Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠
