Small Changes, Big Results: Taking Control of Your Health with Dr. Jeffrey PierceBetter health doesn't require waiting for the perfect time or changing everything overnight. Sometimes it starts with one better choice today.In this episode of the NHA Today Podcast, Dr. Stephan Esser talks with board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Jeffrey Pierce about the power of small, consistent changes and how much influence our everyday habits can have on our long-term health.Drawing on more than 18 years of experience in family medicine, Dr. Pierce shares how his approach to patient care evolved beyond simply managing chronic disease with medications to helping people address its underlying causes through lifestyle.The conversation takes a closer look at fatty liver disease, a condition Dr. Pierce says affects an estimated one in three American adults. He explains why fat can accumulate in the liver, how the condition is often discovered and four lifestyle approaches that may help improve it, including healthy weight loss, a low-fat whole food, plant-based diet, regular movement and certain approaches to meal timing and fasting.Dr. Esser and Dr. Pierce also discuss the growing interest in testosterone replacement, what the research says about potential benefits and risks and why nutrition, exercise, sleep and overall metabolic health deserve attention before looking for a quick fix.Finally, Dr. Pierce shares one of his own favorite prescriptions for health: gardening. For him, growing food brings together movement, nutritious food and time to slow down and reconnect.The message throughout the conversation is refreshingly simple: don't wait for the perfect day. Start with what you can do today and build from there.In This EpisodeWhat Dr. Pierce learned about health and nutrition from practicing medicine in the U.S. and abroadWhy lifestyle can have such a powerful influence on chronic diseaseWhat fatty liver disease is and why it deserves more attentionFour lifestyle approaches that may help improve fatty liverWhat to consider before pursuing testosterone replacementHow sleep and other lifestyle factors can affect hormonal healthWhy small changes can be more sustainable than waiting to make one dramatic transformationHow gardening can support physical, nutritional and emotional well-beingConnect with Dr. Jeffrey PierceBook an appointment with Dr. Pierce through Lifestyle Telemedicine:https://lifestyletelemedicine.com/find-your-doctor/jeffrey-pierce/Follow Dr. Pierce on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drjeffpierce/Connect with the National Health AssociationJoin the National Health Association:https://membership.healthscience.org/join-membership?Learn more about the NHA:https://healthscience.orgExplore upcoming NHA events:https://healthscience.org/events/If this conversation inspired you, follow the NHA Today Podcast, leave a review and share this episode with someone who might be waiting for the "perfect" time to make a healthy change.

Host Scott Rettberg speaks with Aarhus University Associate Professor Christian Ulrik Andersen about autonomous AI imaging and his co-authored book, Objects of Interest and Necessity. They examine how fringe user communities, micro-models, and platforms like Civitai, AI Horde, and Hugging Face challenge big-tech dominance in generative AI. The conversation also delves into "minor tech" strategies, alternative infrastructures, and the role of digital art in rethinking our political and cultural relationship to technology.References Andersen, C.

Du kennst sie als Iris vom Esser. Und ja, da ist ihre unvergleichliche Lebendigkeit. Doch das, was Du spürst, wenn Du bei Iris zu Gast bist, ist so unglaublich viel mehr. Iris berührt Dich durch ihre Wärme. Und natürlich ist Iris Giessauf die urige, heimatverbundene steirische Weinfachfrau. Aber sie trägt ihre Herkunft nicht wie ein Etikett vor sich her – sie lebt sie. In ihrer Sprache, ihrem Humor, ihrer Gelassenheit, ihrer Gastfreundschaft und in der Art, wie sie einem Glas Wein begegnet. Nein, eigentlich begegnet Iris den Weinen nicht – sie spürt sie. Und somit ist das Gasthaus Esser nicht mehr und nicht weniger als ein synergetischer Kreisschluss zwischen dem Wein, Dir und der Iris aus der Steiermark, in der Weinberge nicht bloß Rebstöcke sind, sondern Familiengeschichten erzählen. Wo Nebel morgens langsam aus den Tälern steigt, die Sonne die Hügel vergoldet und jede Jahreszeit ihren ganz eigenen Duft besitzt. Und damit eine Herzlichkeit, die nicht aufdringlich ist. Mit einer Lebensfreude, die dort beginnt, wo sie viele Menschen längst vergessen haben. Man sagt den Steirern nach, sie seien herzlich, humorvoll, fleißig, naturverbunden und ein wenig eigensinnig. Bei ihr trifft all das zu. Sie diskutiert leidenschaftlich, aber nie verletzend. Sie lacht laut und ehrlich. Und wenn sie lacht, lacht meist der ganze Tisch, ach was, das ganze Lokal mit. Darüber hinaus – und das verspreche ich Dir – spürst Du vom ersten Moment im Podcast, dass sie diese seltene Gabe besitzt, Menschen das Gefühl zu geben, genau dort richtig zu sein, wo sie gerade sitzen. In ihrem Gasthaus ist Wein kein Statussymbol. Es ist wie zu Hause, und dort gehört er auf den Tisch wie gutes Brot, ein ehrliches Gespräch und Zeit. Dabei besitzt sie einen trockenen Humor, wie man ihn in der Steiermark oft erlebt. Nie laut, nie verletzend, sondern augenzwinkernd. Vinophile Gastfreundschaft bedeutet für sie Aufmerksamkeit. Sie erinnert sich an Lieblingsweine, an kleine Vorlieben und an Geschichten, die Gäste vor Monaten beiläufig erzählt haben. Sie besitzt ein feines Gespür für Menschen. Noch bevor ein Gast ausgesprochen hat, was er sucht, hat sie oft schon verstanden, was ihm gefallen könnte. Nicht, weil sie Gedanken lesen kann, sondern weil sie aufmerksam beobachtet. Sie ist eine der wenigen Weinfachfrauen, die gezielt für einzelne, bestimmte Gäste Weine einkauft oder von einem Wein, der sie besonders begeistert hat, eine zweite Flasche zurückbehält. Wo sonst findet man diese unglaubliche Gastfreundschaft? Und auch wer sich unsicher fühlt, wird von ihr nicht belehrt, sondern abgeholt. Wer zum ersten Mal einen Muskateller, einen Sauvignon Blanc oder einen Welschriesling probiert, erlebt keinen Vortrag über Thiolverbindungen, sondern hört vielleicht den Satz: „Schließ einmal die Augen und sag mir, woran Dich dieser Duft erinnert.“ Plötzlich wird Wein greifbar, verständlich und persönlich. Wie die Iris es einfach ist.

Most people use moderation as a reason to keep doing what they are doing. Dr. Columbus Batiste says that is exactly the mindset that can have lasting health implications. In this episode of NHA Today, Dr. Stephan Esser sits down with Dr. Columbus Batiste, board-certified interventional cardiologist, author, and co-founder of Healthy Heart Nation. Known as the Healthy Heart Doc, Dr. Batiste has spent his career doing what most cardiologists do not: asking patients not just what they eat, but what they eat for their health - and then building a plan around what they actually want. His personal story is the backbone of this conversation. His father was health-conscious, ran a health food store, and juiced long before it was fashionable - but also loved sodasand sweets in moderation. He died from the effects of diabetes. Reading Caldwell Esselstyn's chapter titled Moderation Kills changed the course of Dr. Batiste's career. In this conversation you will learn:• Why moderation is a justification we only apply to things we know we should not be doing• The three most heart-protective food groups and why they work at the cellular level• How to talk to patients (or yourself) about food in a way that actually creates change• The SELFISH acronym: seven pillars of heart health from spirituality to humor• Why 80% of health outcomes happen outside the doctor's office• The role of stress, presence, and relationships in cardiovascular disease• Dr. Batiste's take on AI in medicine and what an elderly patient said that stopped him cold• What he is bringing to the NHA Annual Conference this June ---ABOUT DR.

Beide hatten dreissig Jahre Erfahrungen auf der Bühne hinter sich, als Corona dem Treiben ein Ende setzte. Michael Sailer versuchte in einem „heimlichen Garten“ durchzuhalten. Da traf er auf Franz Esser. Aus der Begegnung wurde ein neuer Anfang mit gemeinsamen Projekten und neue Formaten. Franz Esser, der Musiker, greift dabei auf ein Spektrum zurück, das von Degenhardt-Liedern und Schlagern bis hin zu Popsongs und Minihörspielen reicht. Michael Sailer, der „Büchernarr“, schreibt kritische Kommentare zu der „Chronik der laufenden Ereignisse“, die man wegen ihrer besonderen Beobachtungsgabe und Detailgenauigkeit mit den Aufzeichnungen von Victor Klemperer vergleichen kann. Beide sind nach der Corona-Krise wieder vor einem immer größer werdenden Publikum aktiv, lauter und lustiger denn je.

Photos: Anchorage police Chief Sean Case, left, and Kelly Hunt. (Rhonda McBride / Courtesy Melvin Hunt) Anchorage Police say they are in the final stages of their investigation into the death of Kelly Hunt, the 19-year-old Shaktoolik student who disappeared in January on her way to college in Soldotna, as Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA reports. Hunt's remains were found last month in a ravine in same Anchorage neighborhood where she had been staying with a friend. Anchorage Police Chief Sean Case says the Medical Examiner's preliminary report determined Hunt died from hypothermia and exposure, with alcohol in her system. “There's no indication that there's physical trauma. There's no indication that an assault has occurred. So, most of those questions — on whether-or-not there was a homicide — those questions have been answered through the Medical Examiner's process.” Case says Hunt was missing for more than 100 days, and due to prolonged exposure to the elements, he says it is nearly impossible to determine Hunt's exact time of death. Before closing out the investigation, Case says police will conduct follow-up interviews to learn more about the circumstances leading up to her death. Based on the outcome of those interviews, Case says the investigation could shift back towards a criminal case. He calls Hunt's death a tragedy, but says there is no evidence of a crime. Hunt was supposed to catch a bus from Anchorage to attend the Alaska Christian College in Soldotna, Alaska. Her friends told police she left on the morning of January 7 to meet with someone to buy alcohol and had left her purse and suitcase behind. Case says the investigation was further complicated, because her disappearance was not reported until four days later, but despite that, Case believes his police officers and detectives did a thorough job. But advocates for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People, including Antonia Commack, question police handling of the case. She says investigators are drawing conclusions too soon, without first questioning the people who last saw Hunt.” “How are you going to make that determination before you speak to those people. Because the bottom line is, she is not old enough to drink herself. Somebody furnished her alcohol and she wound up dead. That should be a crime.” The Anchorage Police Department timed their report on the Kelly Hunt case with the launch of a new online dashboard that tracks missing persons iAnchorage and the department's homicide clearance rate. Case says the report confirms that Alaska Natives make up a disproportionate share of both missing persons and homicides, but says cases involving both Native and non-Native victims are solved at about the same rate. The Pinyon Plain Mine, as seen from the air in November 2019, is located on the Kaibab National Forest less than 10 miles from the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. (Photo: Ryan Heinsius / KNAU) The company that owns a uranium mine near the Grand Canyon wants Arizona state regulators to approve a higher arsenic level in nearby groundwater. KNAU's Chris Clements reports at least two scientists oppose the idea. Brad Esser used to work for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He was asked by a nonprofit that opposes Energy Fuels' Pinyon Plain Mine mine to look into the request. “It sets the wrong incentive. You know, the response to high levels … is to try to understand what’s going on, not just simply raise the permit levels.” But Energy Fuels says the higher arsenic levels are naturally occurring in groundwater near the mine, and are not because of mining activity. Curtis Moore is a company executive. “It’s not surprising that there are elevated levels of arsenic next to this ore body. That’s why we put a mine there, because there’s an ore body there.” But Esser and another scientist argue it is more likely the mine is contributing to the high levels. “They think the mine's ventilation shafts could be creating oxygen-rich groundwater, causing arsenic minerals to dissolve. If that's true, Esser worries arsenic could one day reach the Havasuapi Tribe's key source of drinking water.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

EEG-Reform, Netzpaket, Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz: Die Bundesregierung stellt derzeit die Weichen für den weiteren Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien neu. In der Branche wächst jedoch die Sorge, dass die geplanten Gesetze nicht zum Turbo, sondern zum Hemmschuh für die Energiewende werden könnten. Bei den Berliner Energietagen sprachen wir mit Ursula Heinen-Esser, der Präsidentin des Bundesverbandes Erneuerbare Energie (BEE), über die aktuellen Gesetzgebungsverfahren. Besonders kritisch sieht sie den sogenannten Redispatch-Vorbehalt, der neue Erneuerbarenanlagen in vielen Netzgebieten faktisch ausbremsen könnte.

What if one dietary change could unlock fertility, reverse autoimmune disease, and transform every area of your health — when conventional medicine said it wasn't possible?That's exactly what happened to Robyn Denning.In this episode of NHA Today, Dr. Stephan Esser sits down with Robyn Denning — yoga instructor, health coach, and NHA conference speaker — to trace her remarkable journey from a life fueled by Diet Coke and little sleep, through three miscarriages, celiac disease, Hashimoto's, and an MS diagnosis, to a place of vibrant health — without medication.Robyn's story isn't just inspiring. It's a practical map for anyone navigating chronic illness, struggling to build sustainable movement habits, or simply trying to stay consistent when they no longer feel urgently unwell.In this conversation, you'll discover:→ How eliminating gluten resolved three years of unexplained fertility challenges→ The dietary shift that undiagnosed Robyn's MS within six months→ Why the maintenance phase is often harder than the healing phase→ How to build a movement practice that actually sticks — even if you've tried and failed→ The yoga philosophy of ‘using poses to get into the body' — and why it changes everything→ The role of gratitude in sustaining long-term health changes ──────────────────────────

I' so excited to share this conversation with Erin. Erin Esser (just like a lot of us) grew up with emotionally immature and narcissistic caregivers and believed for most of her life that there was something inherently wrong with her. Sounds familiar?In 2015, she chose to challenge that belief and begin her own healing journey of coming back to herself.Erin is a certified life coach and EFT practitioner who works with others who've experienced similar challenges so they can reclaim their true self that was there underneath all of it.FREE CPTSD checklist: https://erinesser.store/shop/413b236b-810a-45f3-9457-5002d77fef47Connect with Erin:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@erineesserWeb: https://erinesser.store/Book Recommended by Erin:Pete Walker "Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving: A GUIDE AND MAP FOR RECOVERING FROM CHILDHOOD TRAUMA" https://tinyurl.com/5df7n7rhConnect with me:Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/annamaluskitzmann/Breathe with me:https://www.tinyspacetobreathe.comPlant trees: https://onetreeplanted.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠Energy reading & healing: https://annamalus.co/Original Music for the podcast was created by Jacek Jendrasik.Key topicsDifferences between PTSD and CPTSDOrigins of CPTSD in childhood and adulthoodManifestations of CPTSD in daily lifeHealing strategies including awareness and self-regulationThe role of identity work and tools like Human Design and astrologyChapters00:00 Introduction and Clarification of CPTSD01:38 Developmental Trauma and Its Effects03:36 Difference Between PTSD and CPTSD04:22 Origins of CPTSD in Childhood and Adulthood05:48 Erin's Personal Healing Journey07:18 The Book 'From Surviving to Thriving' by Pete Walker08:26 Recognizing CPTSD in Daily Life10:47 Manifestations of CPTSD: Emotional Flashbacks12:41 Somatic Nature of CPTSD Symptoms13:33 Core Beliefs and Childhood Programming16:48 Impact of Caregiver Stress on Children20:05 Creating Safety Within Yourself23:05 Symptoms and Behaviors of CPTSD26:13 Self-Sabotage and CPTSD29:32 Interrupting Old Patterns40:11 Building Self-Trust and Self-Compassion45:36 Healing in Toxic Environments49:44 Growth and Progress in Healing Journey52:53 Simple Techniques for Grounding and Regulation55:06 Identity Work and Self-Discovery55:59 Tools for Self-Understanding: Human Design and Astrology01:00:37 Final Reflections and ResourcesDisclaimer: The content shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical, psychological, therapeutic, legal, or professional advice.

In aflevering 35 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast schuift Jaap Esser aan bij Barry van der Hooft en Jan Dagevos. De oud-voetballer van Kloetinge, waar hij 17 seizoenen in het eerste elftal speelde, is tegenwoordig lid van de technische commissie van Luctor Heinkenzand. Esser, die altijd in één adem wordt genoemd met zijn tweelingbroer Daan, vertelt over de ontwikkelingen bij de fusieclub die sinds 2024 in de tweede klasse speelt. Luctor Heinkenszand is twee duels voor het einde nog niet helemaal veilig, maar daar maakt Esser zich geen zorgen over. ,,Dat gaat goed komen." Hij kijkt met bewondering naar zijn oude club Kloetinge, die zomaar eens naar de tweede divisie kan promoveren. En hij is onder de indruk van de prestaties van Hoek, dat op het hoogste niveau nog steeds meedoet om het kampioenschap. ,,Alleen lijkt het soms wel of we het hier maar normaal vinden wat daar gebeurt", zegt hij. Hij steekt veel tijd in zijn werk voor Luctor Heinkenszand en speelt daar zelf nog in het vierde elftal. Uiteraard met broer Daan, maar ook met andere mannen die in de hoofdmacht van de Bevelandse club hebben gevoetbald. Voorafgaand aan de podcast kreeg Barry al een bericht dat hij maar eens moest vragen naar de bijnaam 'Jaapie Netto'. Waar die vandaan komt, dat legt Jaap Esser ook uit.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Drew Perkins welcomes Patrick Graff, Senior Fellow at the American Federation for Children, to discuss his recent research analyzing 15 years of Florida's tax-credit scholarship program. Graff presents a compelling case for why "competition effects" may be significantly more cost-effective than simply increasing per-pupil spending for improving public school outcomes. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Have some feedback you'd like to share? You can email me at drew@thoughtstretchers.org. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. The episode explores the "competition effect"—the phenomenon where public schools improve when they face the threat of losing students to nearby private options. Graff's research found that public school students in high-competition areas in Florida were 120 to 140 days ahead in reading compared to those in low-competition areas. Most strikingly, he estimates that the competition route was 11 times more cost-effective than achieving the same gains through pure spending increases. Drew and Patrick also navigate the nuances of school choice, including the role of micro-schools, the impact on rural communities, and the critical need for minimum academic quality and transparency. They conclude by discussing the new federal Education Freedom Tax Credit and its potential to expand educational opportunities by bypassing traditional political constraints and driving resources directly to parents.

2 education has always required a different kind of sales approach. Long buying cycles. Multiple stakeholders. Deep accountability to students, families, and communities. But the environment today feels more measured than it did just a few years ago. District leaders are scrutinizing spend, thinking carefully about sustainability, and asking harder questions about long-term impact.We are not operating in the same ESSER-funded landscape that allowed for rapid pilots and flexible experimentation. Funding conversations now center on justification, alignment, and durability. AI may be accelerating attention, but caution is shaping decisions.In this episode of All Things Marketing and Education, Elana Leoni sits down with Shelby Jones of FuelK12 to explore what that shift means for education sales and marketing teams. They unpack ghosting, budget objections, the tension between depth and scale, and the structural misalignment that often exists between marketing and sales. The conversation stays practical, focused on what actually builds trust inside districts right now.See the resources and show notes here.

Das Backwaren- und Guetzli-Imperium Hug feiert ein Rekordjahr, getragen von Schweizer Qualität und teuren Rohstoffen. Doch dieses Erfolgsrezept wird im Ausland zur Hürde, wie die Chefin Anna Hug erklärt. Und: Im Guetzli-Markt haben Innovationen kaum Chancen. In der Schweiz ist Hug mit Kultmarken wie Wernli, Willisauer Ringli und Dar-Vida so erfolgreich wie nie und feiert ein Rekordjahr. Der Luzerner Backwarenhersteller hat 2025 einen Umsatz von 136 Millionen Franken erzielt. Das ist ein Wachstum von 4 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Doch der Erfolg zeigt ein paradoxes Gesicht: Was hierzulande als teures Qualitätsversprechen funktioniert, wird jenseits der Grenze zum Verhängnis. Gerade der Bestseller Dar-Vida scheiterte im Ausland kläglich. Co-Geschäftsführerin Anna Hug über ein Geschäftsmodell, das am Heimmarkt glänzt, aber international an seine Grenzen stösst. Und: Welches ist das erfolgreichste Guetzli und wie will sich das Unternehmen gegen die harte inländische und ausländische Konkurrenz behaupten? Anna Hug ist zu Gast bei David Karasek.

Wir sind wieder da! Und ja, wir müssen uns an dieser Stelle entschuldigen, denn wir stellen leider fest: Immer wenn wir Urlaub machen oder eine kleine Pause vom Podcast einlegen, drehen die Märkte durch! Aber keine Sorge – wir sind zurück, und es kann wieder aufwärtsgehen! Heute sprechen die Babos ein fundamental wichtiges Thema an den Börsen an, nämlich: „Behavioral Finance“, oder auf Deutsch gesagt: die Psychologie der Börse. Auch wenn die Märkte langfristig effizient sind, sind sie kurzfristig alles andere – und genau dabei verlieren viele Anleger, auch professionelle, schnell die Nerven. Deshalb haben wir heute einen Top-Gast am Start, der mit uns gemeinsam das Thema Behavioral Finance und viele seiner wichtigen Aspekte durchleuchtet: Unser Gast: Björn Esser, Mitgründer und Portfolio-Manager bei Alturis Capital GmbH, ist seit 2001 am Markt aktiv und bringt seine langjährige Erfahrung heute mit in den Podcast. Björn teilt mit uns spannende Erkenntnisse und vor allem viele interessante Studien zum Thema Behavioral Finance – darunter auch die Ergebnisse einer coolen Umfrage, die wir vor Kurzem durchgeführt und geteilt haben. Außerdem erfahrt ihr heute: Warum Michael bei seinem einzigen Casinobesuch mal 1.000 Euro verloren hat, und Endrit teilt spannende Einblicke in seine wöchentliche Umfrage auf LinkedIn – unter anderem, warum sich manche nicht mehr trauen, daran teilzunehmen. Und noch viel wichtiger: Diese Folge ist eine wichtige Grundlage für eine spätere Folge mit Björn im Laufe des Jahres – dann zum Thema: Volatilität als Asset – und wie er dieses Konzept erfolgreich in seinem Fonds umsetzt. Also: Unbedingt reinhören – viel Spaß beim Zuhören und Teilen!

State education agencies are moving faster than they are known for, and not because they want to. AI, funding uncertainty, and capacity constraints are forcing decisions that cannot wait.In this episode, Elana Leoni sits down with Julia Fallon of SETDA to unpack what the 2025 State EdTech Trends Report really tells us about where states are focused, what feels most fragile right now, and why modernization matters more than chasing the next innovation. This conversation is especially relevant for education marketers and leaders who want to understand how state priorities shape district decisions, and how to engage more thoughtfully in a tight, high-stakes environment.What You'll LearnWhat SETDA is and why its State EdTech Trends Report offers a unique state-level lensHow the report is built, who contributes to it, and why it is timed around legislative sessionsWhy AI surpassed cybersecurity as the top state ed tech priority for the first timeWhat that shift signals about responsibility, risk, and trust, not enthusiasmWhere state AI guidance typically lives, how it varies, and why quality mattersWhy capacity and coherence, not commitment, are the most fragile issues right nowWhat the end of ESSER funding looks like in real operational terms, not just percentagesWhy Julia argues education needs modernization, not “innovation,” and how that reframes decision-makingWhat professional learning needs to look like to actually support adoption and impactA practical example of state-level ecosystem building from NebraskaFor more, visit the show notes here.

Buschert, Fanny www.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews

In this episode, Dr. Karen Esser Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology and Aging at the University of Florida joins the crew to break down one of the most overlooked performance variables in human physiology: circadian timing. After a career spent studying muscle adaptation, Dr. Esser shifted her research toward the molecular clocks inside our tissues, uncovering how every cell in the body keeps its own time. She explains how these clocks govern fuel storage, protein repair, metabolic readiness, and ultimately the way muscle responds to training. The team digs into what these clocks do, how they synchronize, and why misalignment affects everything from daily performance to long-term health. The conversation dives deep into time-of-day effects on strength, endurance, and adaptation. Dr. Esser highlights that humans are consistently stronger and more explosive in the afternoon, a pattern reflected in Olympic records and decades of performance data. But her lab's animal research reveals something game changing: consistent morning training can shift the internal clock system, allowing morning athletes to achieve equal or even better adaptations after several weeks, despite using lower absolute training loads. She also explains how travel, jet lag, and mistimed eating disrupt organ specific clocks, reducing performance and creating metabolic consequences similar to pre-diabetes. The crew tests these ideas against real world training habits, coaching experience, and what happens when athletes switch from evening to early morning training. Finally, Dr. Esser unpacks the broader health implications of circadian disruption from increased risk of metabolic disease and cardiovascular dysfunction to higher rates of depression and cancer in chronically misaligned shift workers. She outlines simple, actionable strategies: anchor your sleep and training times, keep eating within a roughly 10 hour window, avoid late night calories, and arrive early when competing across time zones. The conversation closes with practical takeaways for athletes, coaches, and everyday lifters who want to maximize adaptation, improve metabolic health, and align their biology with the rhythms built into every cell.

Deputy Inspector Patrick Esser of the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office has spent more than 26 years in law enforcement—and he's on a mission to change the way leaders think. In this episode, he shares how the culture has shifted from a rigid “warrior” mindset to a more empathetic “guardian” approach, why emotional intelligence is the missing tool in many officers' careers, and how mid-career negativity nearly derailed him before humility and self-awareness brought him back. From mentoring the next generation to founding Esser Growth Principles, Esser's message is clear: leadership starts with communication, curiosity, and knowing yourself.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and Dr. Cara Candal of ExcelinEd interview former assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Education and co-founder of the Defense of Freedom Institute (DFI), Jim Blew. Mr. Blew reflects on his tenure in federal education leadership and his motivation for establishing DFI. He discusses the decades of rising federal K-12 spending through initiatives like RTTT, ESSA, and ESSER funds, instead calling for devolving federal authority out of the U.S. Department of Education, and more private school choice and charter public school innovation. Mr. Blew shares the origins and goals of the new national education tax credit law, which emphasizes private school choice options and state-level flexibility. He unpacks the program's key provisions, including tax credits for donations to scholarship granting organizations (SGOs) that fund school choice for students. However, he raises concerns that the law's state “opt-in” requirement may sideline students in blue states led by school choice opponents. Finally, Mr. Blew addresses some constitutional and strategic concerns, arguing that federal education tax credits, if carefully structured, can enhance educational opportunity.
