In honor of Valentine's Day, celebrated as a day of love and friendship, we're focusing on Venus. Venus is the planet associated with archetypes of love, beauty, and relationships. Valentine's Day is often seen as being for lovers, but let's broaden the Venus archetype to include reflecting on the beauty in your life and the love you have for everyone in it. In this episode, we explore Venus in excess and deficiency through the lens of medical astrology and herbalism, examining how this archetype shapes the kidneys, reproductive system, circulation, relationships, and the deeper work of balance and self-understanding. Here's what you'll learn about: How Venus patterns show up physically: urinary and reproductive manifestations of Venus excess and deficiency The tissue states behind these patterns (lax/leaky vs. dry/tense/depleted) Herbs used to balance Venus patterns — from urinary tract remedies to reproductive support strategies How excess/deficiency works as a spectrum (not a binary) in both astrology and clinical herbalism The Venus–Mars polarity and why Venus issues often involve Mars dynamics The Aries–Libra axis as a map of self vs. other and how imbalance affects relationships The Taurus–Scorpio axis as a map of values, depth, transformation, and intimacy ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at: http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/ Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/ Shop our herbal products: https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/ ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

Stuck in the Silence?The old maps—standard devotionals and "trying harder"—won't work here. You need new coordinates.I wrote a comprehensive guide on the metaphysics of the Dark Night and how to navigate it without losing your mind.Start Here: Read the Field Guide https://midnightcarmelite.com/darknight/We often mistake spiritual activity for spiritual progress. When the sensible consolations of prayer vanish, our natural human instinct is to "panic-buy" our way back into God's presence through more rosaries, more retreats, and more mental strain. However, this is not a lack of effort; it is a misunderstanding of the metaphysics of the Light. By virtue of your Baptism, you are already in the Light—but an "Excess of Light" can feel like total darkness. The resentment you feel toward a "broken contract" with God is the signal that you are trying to navigate a new landscape with an old, broken map.The Myth of Spiritual Volume: Why adding more vocal prayers during a period of dryness is often a defense mechanism against the actual surgery God is performing.The Metaphysics of Baptism: Understanding your permanent mark as an adopted child of God and why you cannot "fall out" of His light, even when it feels blinding or absent.Productive vs. Unproductive Mortification: How to stop "spiritual thrashing" and pivot toward disciplined detachment from specific habits (like doom-scrolling) rather than mental exhaustion in prayer.The Unique Dialogue: Why universal prescriptions often fail and the necessity of returning to the life of Christ in the Gospels as the "Final Word" of your direction.
Michael Vlahos as Germanicus compares the fall of the Roman Republic to modern American corruption, arguing that while Augustus and even Putin could contain oligarchic excess, American oligarchs possess unchecked power several orders of magnitude greater, with lawfare transforming crime into legal immunity in ways more dangerous than historical precedents.1900 CARTHAGE

From poetry most often attributed to King Solomon, we explore the vanity of what humanity places so much gravity on – wealth as well as conventional signs of a so-called exceptional life. Our Preacher proclaims: There is an evil I have seen under the sun and it is heavy and common upon men. He then asks you to envision a man whom God allots wealth and honor and lacks nothing of his desire. More than we realize, God does not allow him to consume what he has. At times, it all passes to a stranger. Such focus on the material is an evil affliction. Our Preacher is once again taking the view of one who experiences life without embracing the Transcendent. In this role, he examines how earthly status fails to bring satisfaction. For even if man has all the possessions of a King or begets a hundred children and lives 2000 years, the soul must be satiated. The meaninglessness of everything beyond the Almighty will slap you in the face, no matter how many generations you are permitted to walk the earth. As Moses and Jesus instructed in Deuteronomy 8 and Matthew 4: Man does not live by bread alone, but lives on every word that is revealed by the Lord. Excess riches and attendant responsibility can compound misery. Further, the greatest among us can come to lack a decent burial -- long considered an ignominious end.In contrast of our spiritual lives, what awaits our earthly adventure is all-encompassing death. Qohelth proclaims, persisting in his role: Better are those who are born dead. Such a soul never has to deal with the suffering some endure. This is another verse that evokes the Lamentations of Job. Our Preacher conveys the same despair and asks: Does not everyone go to the same place? This is a fleeting reference to the afterlife, which the Hebrew Bible says remarkably little about. Qohelet acknowledges how little life seems to make sense and reiterates: The labor of man is for his sustenance, yet the soul is not satisfied.He then asks: What advantage has the wise man over the fool? As St. Paul wrote in one of his letters to the Corinthians: Hath not God made foolishness the wisdom of this world?; God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty. In somewhat in cryptic language, Qohelet continues: What good is it for the poor man to walk before the living. Ultimately, a so-called simple man's capability in dealing with life's challenges may bring him no more or less benefit than it will a wise man. Qoholet is having you question the value of wisdom.He moves on to this ole truism: Better is what the eyes see than desire. Here, one of the central tenants of Buddhism is referenced - for desire is an effort as useful as herding the wind. Scholar Robert Alter indicates that the sense of this is that it is advantageous to enjoy what one views and brings joy as compared to frustrating path of trying to fulfill boundless desire. Qohelet concludes the chapter noting how our fate appears determined and the doldrums we can find ourselves in over the seeming meaningless of it all. He preaches: Whatever one is, he has been named already by the Lord. For it is known that he man is man. This calls to mind how in Genesis, it is implied that to give something a name is to designate its nature, like how Adam was given responsibility for naming the creatures of the earth.Our Preacher channels Job yet again noting how man cannot contend with The Lord. Job essentially said the same, teaching how to attempt to prove oneself against the Almighty, who orchestrates the Cosmic symphony, is the stamp of futility. Look around your own life and weigh how much of it amounts to vanity.Qohelet has this observation to complete the chapter: For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which essentially pass like a shadow? The short answer, is: You will never find out…so submit to the wisdom of him above.

Send me a messageThree corporate jets as “excess assets.”Absurd? Yes. Rare? Not really. What does that say about how companies handle surplus?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Gordon Zellner, CEO and founder of Evergreen Trading, to unpack a problem most organisations quietly struggle with: surplus that turns into risk, waste, and financial drag.Excess inventory, idle equipment, empty buildings, overbought materials. In uncertain times, these don't vanish. They sit on the balance sheet, depreciating, distorting decisions, and nudging companies towards the easiest exit. Often landfill. Sometimes a write-off. Almost always value destruction. That matters now, as volatility, sustainability pressure, and capital discipline collide.In this conversation, you'll hear how Gordon's team takes a very different approach. We break down why excess is inevitable, why freezing is the worst response, and how thinking horizontally across supply chain, finance, and marketing can unlock value that traditional disposal routes miss entirely. You might be surprised to learn how media becomes a financial instrument, why Gordon describes his model as “corporate recycling,” and how rerouting value can fund more sustainable outcomes without taking a financial hit.We also dig into real examples. PPE bought in panic during COVID. Inventory headed for landfill. And yes, the three corporate jets. Not as a stunt, but as a consequence of routine decisions applied at scale. The lesson is uncomfortable, practical, and immediately relevant for supply chain leaders navigating risk, sustainability, data visibility, and resilience.

Most founders underestimate how much their thinking, food choices, and daily habits quietly shape their performance– and their health.In this episode of Founder Talk, Alex Sheridan sits down with Dr. Chrystal Ciodyk, founder of Chrystal Clinic, to explore the overlooked connection between mindset, physical health, and long-term decision-making. Chrystal built her clinic after completing advanced training in acupuncture and Chinese medicine—then launched the business during COVID, despite widespread skepticism.This episode examines how founders unknowingly operate in a constant state of stress, inflammation, and mental noise—and how that affects clarity, discipline, and judgment, and explores a core founder problem: running businesses from a depleted body and distracted mind. Founders will hear a practical perspective on how small, consistent changes can restore clarity and energy, and how chronic stress, poor nutrition, and unchecked habits create physical inflammation and mental resistance—often mistaken for lack of discipline or motivation. Q&A-Style Takeaways (Chronological)00:00:00 – Introduction00:01:45Q: Why does mental and physical health directly affect founder performance?A: Chronic stress and imbalance reduce long-term focus, resilience, and decision quality, even when short-term results look fine.00:05:12Q: What everyday habits create inflammation that founders often ignore?A: Excess sugar, dairy, alcohol, processed foods, and lack of recovery quietly compound physical and cognitive stress.00:07:33Q: What does inflammation actually do to the body and mind?A: It disrupts digestion, joints, sleep, and energy, often showing up as brain fog, pain, or chronic fatigue.00:13:45Q: Why do founders struggle to break habits they know are unhealthy?A: Internal mental resistance—the “comfort-seeking psyche”—pushes people to stay in familiar patterns even when they want change.00:17:23Q: How do thoughts and language influence physical health outcomes?A: Negative self-talk can reinforce symptoms through the nocebo effect, while intentional framing supports recovery.00:43:40Q: Is hustle culture silently costing founders their health?A: Many founders trade health and family time for growth, only to face burnout or forced slowdowns later.00:46:20Q: What are simple daily tools founders can use to reset stress?A: Breathing techniques, small rituals, and short recovery practices help regulate the nervous system and improve focus.This episode is especially relevant for founders balancing growth, family, and long-term sustainability.

Agile in Construction: The DOWNTIME Strategy—Eliminating Waste Before Adding Process With Felipe Engineer-Manriquez Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "My first rule is that I will do no harm. And if something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility with leadership. My neck is literally on the line." - Felipe Engineer-Manriquez Felipe shares his change strategy for introducing Lean and Agile into construction projects, and it starts with an unexpected principle borrowed from Hippocrates: do no harm. He explicitly tells teams this promise, putting his neck on the line to build trust. But the real magic happens in what comes next: instead of adding new processes, Felipe first helps teams stop doing things. Using the DOWNTIME acronym (Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Excess processing), he identifies wasteful activities that don't add value. In construction, 60-80% of every dollar doesn't add value from the customer's perspective—compared to manufacturing (above 50% value) or agriculture (90% value). Felipe's approach: eliminate waste first to create excess capacity, then introduce new processes. On a project that was 2 years behind schedule with lawyers already engaged, he spent just 5 minutes with the team defining a visible milestone goal on a whiteboard. Two weeks later, they met their schedule and improved by 4 days—the first time ever. The superintendent said, "Never in the entire time I've worked here have we ever met a schedule commitment." The secret? Free up capacity before adding anything new. In this episode, we refer to the 8 wastes video by Orbus and WIP limits. Self-reflection Question: Before introducing your next process improvement, what wasteful activity could you help your team stop doing to free up the capacity they need to embrace change?

I had the pleasure of co-hosting another episode of Excess Returns with Matt Zeigler.In this episode of Excess Returns, we sit down with Gary Mishuris, Managing Partner and CIO of Silver Ring Value Partners, to explore how deep fundamental analysis, behavioral insight, and disciplined process come together in real-world investing. Gary shares formative lessons from his early career at Fidelity during the post-tech bubble period, including firsthand experiences learning from legends like Peter Lynch, and connects those lessons to how he evaluates value, quality, and mispricing today. The conversation spans a detailed case study on Warner Bros. Discovery, portfolio construction under uncertainty, selective use of options, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping the research process for long-term investors.Available now on Excess Returns Podcast and Talking Billions.
Sweet Excess: Crafting Mishti in Bengal (Routledge, 2025) by Ishita Dey is an ethnographic work on excess. Based on a decade-long fieldwork of a single food substance – sweets – it follows sweet-making in sweetshops, domestic spaces, fairs, festivals and its representation in recipe books to understand how caste, religion, science and law inform the life of a food item with an extremely short shelf life. It shows how food items of conspicuous consumption find a meaning in everyday lives of people through its socio-cultural meanings – ritual, pride of craftsmanship, heritage and cultural identity. It also shows how sweets continue to be a ubiquitous part of ‘Bengali' diet in a geography that has been witness to acute hunger, starvation, food movements and social welfare programmes to ensure food security. As a multi-sited ethnography on sweetness in diverse settings and its associated meanings in West Bengal and Bangladesh, this book explores everyday workplace hierarchies between artisans that reveal how caste and religion inform the choice of who is hired into this line of work.

Sweet Excess: Crafting Mishti in Bengal (Routledge, 2025) by Ishita Dey is an ethnographic work on excess. Based on a decade-long fieldwork of a single food substance – sweets – it follows sweet-making in sweetshops, domestic spaces, fairs, festivals and its representation in recipe books to understand how caste, religion, science and law inform the life of a food item with an extremely short shelf life. It shows how food items of conspicuous consumption find a meaning in everyday lives of people through its socio-cultural meanings – ritual, pride of craftsmanship, heritage and cultural identity. It also shows how sweets continue to be a ubiquitous part of ‘Bengali' diet in a geography that has been witness to acute hunger, starvation, food movements and social welfare programmes to ensure food security. As a multi-sited ethnography on sweetness in diverse settings and its associated meanings in West Bengal and Bangladesh, this book explores everyday workplace hierarchies between artisans that reveal how caste and religion inform the choice of who is hired into this line of work.

Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura dive headfirst into VR porn disasters, accidental virtual orgies, and the terrifying realization that Oculus might actually be ending humanity. Bert recounts a weekend alone that spirals into nine virtual orgies, soul-stealing eye contact, and panic-induced controller fumbling in a pitch-black room. The Bears also unpack loneliness, online hate comments, incel psychology, and how social media gives angry dudes a place to scream just to feel noticed. From there, things somehow get deeper: wealth guilt, excess consumption, purging hundreds of shoes and jackets, Mounjaro weight loss, beating Jelly Roll in the next 2 Bears 5K, parenting chaos, friendship evolution, Jake Paul as a “god,” and why success is always part luck.

On Jesse's 12th "Ask Me Anything" episode, he opens the year by tackling the questions that tend to surface when calendars turn and retirement feels closer than ever. He begins with a thoughtful exploration of whether "this is the year to retire," unpacking how sequence-of-returns risk, market valuations, spending accuracy, and portfolio construction matter far more than trying to guess the next market move, and why building flexibility—not perfect timing—is the real defense against early-retirement risk. From there, Jesse shifts to a practical and surprisingly nuanced discussion on getting kids and grandkids started in investing, weighing Roth IRAs, custodial accounts, and taxable strategies while emphasizing the twin lessons of earned money and compounding—and how to balance long-term discipline with making investing engaging and educational. He then addresses how portfolios should evolve as investors age and as assets grow, explaining why the glide path toward retirement is as much about risk capacity, risk need, and behavioral fit as it is about age, and why excess capital fundamentally changes how—and why—you take risk. He closes with a comprehensive walk through the key ages and milestones that shape a financial plan, from early adulthood to Social Security, Medicare, and required minimum distributions, giving listeners a clear mental map of when critical doors open and close. Throughout, Jesse blends technical insight with behavioral clarity, helping listeners not just answer financial questions, but build a durable way of thinking about decisions that will compound for decades. Key Takeaways:• The decision to retire is less about predicting markets and more about understanding cash flow, spending flexibility, and downside protection in the early years. • Writing down the rationale behind major investment decisions helps reduce future regret and emotional reactions. • Many retirees underestimate their spending, which can create false confidence in retirement readiness. • Teaching kids about investing works best when it combines earned income, parental matching, and simple, long-term strategies. • Excess capital changes the nature of investment decisions, allowing greater freedom without jeopardizing core goals. • Knowing the key financial ages—Social Security, Medicare, Roth rules, and required minimum distributions—helps investors anticipate decisions rather than react under pressure.

For the first time in Got Somme history, Angus is using a spittoon.For the first time ever our Master Somm is tasting clean skin wine. In this episode, Angus and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos put six $5 clean skin wines under the microscope to answer a question we get asked all the time: Are clean skin wines actually drinkable, or are they only good for cooking? With six bottles on the table, including Sauvignon Blanc, two Chardonnays, Rosé and Shiraz, Carlos gives an honest, no-nonsense assessment of what’s worth drinking, what’s best kept for the kitchen, and what should probably go straight down the sink. What Is a Clean Skin Wine? Clean skin wines are bottles sold without a branded label. Often they are the result of: Oversupply from wineries Wines not making the cut for a producer’s main label Brand changes or ownership transitions Excess wine needing to be cleared quickly In some cases, these wines may even come from large, well-known producers who simply can’t move stock fast enough in the current market. Wines Tasted in This Episode: All wines were purchased for approximately $5 per bottle. Sauvignon Blanc (2024) Chardonnay (modern branded clean skin) Chardonnay (traditional black-and-white clean skin) Rosé Shiraz Each wine was assessed for aroma, palate, balance, drinkability and value for money. The Results: Which $5 Wines Passed the Test? ✅ Drinkable at $5 According to Carlos, these wines are genuinely drinkable at the price point: Sauvignon BlancFresh, fruity and recognisably Sauvignon Blanc in style. High acidity and noticeable sulfites, but surprisingly competitive in blind tasting against entry-level New Zealand styles. Chardonnay (traditional clean skin label)Simple, short and one-dimensional, but balanced and inoffensive. Better on the palate than the nose and acceptable for casual drinking or food pairing at the price. ShirazThe standout of the lineup. Peppery, dark fruit driven, recognisably Shiraz and the most enjoyable overall. Less aggressive sulfites due to tannin structure and the best value of the bunch. ❌ Best Left for Cooking Rosé Chardonnay (modern branded version) These wines showed strong sulfite aromas, artificial flavours and lacked balance. Fine for slow cooking, sauces or reducing into a dish, but not recommended for drinking. Does Wine Quality Matter When Cooking? Carlos explains that for most everyday cooking, especially slow cooks like: Bolognese Stews Braises There is little difference between using a $5 bottle and a $100 bottle. Once wine is reduced and cooked for hours, nuance disappears. Save the good stuff for the glass. Final Verdict on Clean Skin Wines Clean skins can be drinkable Oversupply in the wine industry means quality can trickle down the price ladder At $5, expectations matter Some are fine for drinking responsibly Most are perfectly suitable for cooking If you’re on a tight budget, a chilled glass from Carlos’s top three is acceptable. If you can stretch to $15–$20, you’ll still get more consistency and enjoyment. Carlos’s Top Picks (In Order) Shiraz Chardonnay (traditional clean skin) Sauvignon Blanc Want to See the Bottles?

Why Your New Year's Goals Fail — and How to Become Supernormal InsteadYou set big goals for the new year. But if your brain is hijacked by screens, algorithms, and constant overstimulation, willpower alone will not get you there.Excess dopamine from the screen miswires your brain, drains motivation, and keeps your nervous system stuck in survival mode. That is why focus fades, follow-through collapses, and every year starts to feel the same.If you want this year to be different, the first step is understanding how your brain is actually functioning. A Brain Map shows whether your brain is strained, drained, or ready to rewire.

There are very few critics that are able to effortlessly move between writing about novels, movies, TV shows, non-fiction, politics, culture, life, ethics and more. But today's political climate and attention economy that seems to demand more and more from those who aim to catalogue the winds that drive our culture, requires just that: an ability to place different forms of media, fictional and not, in conversation with each other, to develop cohesive criticism of the present moment. Becca Rothfeld is one of those critics. As the non-fiction book critic at the Washington Post, she has taken on everything from works of philosophy to political memoirs to postmodern novels to as recently as last week, The West Wing. Becca's criticism brings a steady hand to analyzing often chaotic and multifarious narratives, and is grounded in her Philosophy background. Reading her, it's immediately obvious that no piece of culture is off limits, and she's willing to mine even the most banal texts to find some sort of value -- and that value for her comes in the form of a deeply nuanced critique of how we live.Becca's 2024 essay collection, All Things Are Too Small, published by Macmillan, is a celebration of excess. Her subjects range from Marie Kondo, to Sally Rooney, to David Cronenberg, to love. Through this diverse cast of characters, her thesis is clear, and as you'll soon hear in the interview, the collection somehow brings together disparate ideas to create a sort of manifesto of liberal artmaking that often encourages you to introspect about not only your cultural consumption but also your habits, ethics, and politics… the hallmark of an effective essay collection. Becca and I sat down to primarily talk about and read from her book, and we touch on several of my favorite essays from the collection, as well as her writing on other platforms. We also speak about one of our shared obsessions, the novelist Norman Rush, as well as the writer whom everyone seems to have read these days, Sally Rooney. But there comes a point towards the end of the conversation where we turn to the present moment; and like all of my favorite episodes of cultural mixtapes, Becca starts to essentially perform criticism on the present moment, dissecting the ways in which political movements in the United States are influencing artmaking in various genres; and our conversation, albeit slightly dated, elucidated some prescient truths that are becoming more and more obvious as we continue to explore what this unique political and cultural moment has in store.
Urban historian Thomas Dyja and political strategist Dr. Basil Smikle Jr. joined the show to put Eric Adams' mayoralty and Zohran Mamdani's inauguration into modern historical context. They joined host Ben Max to discuss the meaning of the Eric Adams era and its impact on the city, how Adams fits in the modern pantheon of mayors, and the meaning of Mamdani's election to succeed Adams, including the hopes and questions about his budding mayoralty. Dyja is the author of several books, including New York New York New York: Four Decades of Success, Excess, and Transformation. Smikle Jr. has been involved in many political campaigns in New York, is a former executive director of the New York State Democratic Party, and is currently a professor in and director of the master's program in nonprofit management at Columbia University's School of Professional Studies, among other roles in politics and academia. (Ep 558)
What St Isaac exposes here is not a technique but a diagnosis. He is ruthless because the sickness is deep. The soul is meant to be good soil but soil is not neutral ground. It either receives the seed with vigilance or it becomes choked. Remembrance of God is not a poetic feeling but a sustained pressure on the heart a vigilance that does not sleep. When this remembrance is alive the soul becomes a place where God Himself shades and illumines. There is no romance here. Light appears inside darkness not because the darkness is denied but because the soul has chosen to stand watch within it. St Isaac refuses to let us spiritualize our way around the body. The belly is not incidental. What enters the mouth reaches the heart. He speaks bluntly because self deception thrives in vagueness. Excess dulls perception. Pleasure thickens the air of the soul. Wisdom is not stolen from us by demons alone but smothered by our own indulgence. A full belly does not merely weaken resolve it fuels lust because the body has been trained to demand satisfaction. This is not moralism. It is anthropology. The knowledge of God does not coexist with a body that has been enthroned. Here asceticism is revealed as truth telling. It strips away the lie that discipline is punishment. Labor is not opposed to grace. Labor is the ground where grace becomes intelligible. St Isaac compares it to labor pains because knowledge of God is not an idea grasped but a life brought forth. Without toil there is no birth only fantasy. Sloth does not simply delay holiness it gives birth to shame because the soul knows it has avoided the cost of truth. This is where the inner disposition becomes decisive. Asceticism without remembrance hardens into pride. Asceticism without humility becomes violence against the self. But remembrance without discipline dissolves into sentimentality. St Isaac holds them together because life demands it. The question is not how much one fasts or how little one sleeps but whether the heart is consenting to be trained. Discipline embraced with resentment breeds bitterness. Discipline embraced with attention becomes wisdom. In an age starved of living elders this teaching cuts even deeper. We are tempted either to abandon asceticism entirely or to turn it into a private project shaped by personality and preference. St Isaac offers neither comfort. He places responsibility back into the hands of the one who desires God. The absence of elders does not absolve us. It makes inner honesty more urgent. The body becomes the first elder. Hunger teaches restraint. Fatigue teaches humility. Failure teaches mercy. If these are ignored no amount of reading will save us. Christ's closeness to the mouth of the one who endures hardship is not sentimental reassurance. It is promise and warning. He draws near to the body that has consented to the Cross. Not to the body pampered under the language of balance or self care. The care Christ offers is not the removal of hardship but His presence within it. Asceticism then is not heroic excess but fidelity to reality. It is the refusal to live divided. Priceless indeed is labor wrought with wisdom because it produces not control but clarity. The soul begins to see. And once it sees it can no longer pretend. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:50 Fr.

I feel very much called to fast for spiritual reasons and called to bodily stewardship as well. It's very personal. I coudl never understand how monastic nuns could discourage this and encourage--in my opinion--indulging in food too much. 00:31:48 Una's iPhone: Reacted to "A question about asc…" with

Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Episode Description You see "supports hormonal balance" on the label and trust your estrogen supplement is pure, potent, and safe. But are you actually getting what you paid for—or playing Russian roulette with your hormones? Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated the estrogen supplement industry with one critical question: can these brands prove their products are free from heavy metal contamination, maintain potency through expiration, and deliver the exact hormone dosage claimed on the label through third-party Certificates of Analysis (COAs)? The shocking reality? Most companies can't—or won't—provide basic proof of purity and potency. You're expected to trust your delicate hormonal system to manufacturers who refuse transparency about what's actually in the bottle. This isn't about being overly cautious—it's about protecting your endocrine system, bone health, and long-term vitality from contaminated or ineffective hormone supplementation. When you consume estrogen supplements without verified purity testing, you risk hormonal disruption, heavy metal accumulation, and health consequences that could take years to manifest. The hidden dangers lurking in estrogen supplements: • Heavy metal contamination including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury that bioaccumulate and disrupt hormonal pathways • Potency deception: hormone levels guaranteed only at manufacturing, not expiration—meaning dosing becomes unpredictable over time • Undisclosed synthetic additives and fillers that interfere with estrogen metabolism and liver detoxification • Contamination from yeast, mold, and bacteria in raw materials that trigger inflammatory immune responses • Dosage inconsistency between what's listed on the label and what third-party testing actually reveals in the capsule • Zero verification of bioidentical claims—you could be taking synthetic estrogens marketed as natural In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez reveals: • Why the estrogen supplement industry operates with virtually zero accountability for purity, potency, or safety standards • The critical difference between bioidentical and synthetic estrogen—and why most brands can't prove which one they're selling • How heavy metal-contaminated estrogen supplements create a double assault on your endocrine system and detox pathways • The liver burden, breast tissue sensitivity, and cardiovascular risks amplified by low-quality estrogen supplementation • Why COAs (Certificates of Analysis) are the ONLY way to verify what's actually in your supplement—and why most brands refuse to provide them • The regulatory loopholes allowing estrogen supplements to skip third-party testing and still make bold health claims • Safer, cleaner alternatives for supporting estrogen balance through whole-food sources and lifestyle optimization This episode goes beyond hormone replacement—it's about understanding that estrogen influences everything from bone density and brain function to cardiovascular health and cancer risk. It's about demanding proof before putting synthetic or contaminated hormones into your body daily, and recognizing that the supplement industry profits from your trust, not your health outcomes. The estrogen supplement industry doesn't want you asking for COAs. But your hormonal health depends on it.
