Nailing your training but can't shift those stubborn kilos? Maybe you’re battling gut issues despite a dialled-in nutrition plan or even dragging yourself through sessions after a solid 8 hours sleep. If this sounds all too familiar, it might be that your thyroid has been flying under the radar. As a sports dietitian, I'm seeing more triathletes pushing through these warning signs – constant fatigue, resistant weight, bloating, and mysterious gut problems – not realising there's a tiny butterfly-shaped gland in their neck calling the shots. Thyroid health isn’t my area of specialty so today I’m joined by Registered Dietitian and Functional Practitioner, Alisha Knicely, to talk about about how this powerful gland affects everything from your race-day performance to your Monday morning motivation. Diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disease in 2017, Alisha’s drive to understand what was happening in her body was a turning point in her career. She now specialises in Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism and helps her clients to reverse the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. The Performance Powerhouse You're Overlooking Your thyroid is your body's metabolic control centre. It regulates your heart rate, energy levels, and even how quickly you bounce back from those brutal brick sessions. For triathletes pushing their bodies to the limit, optimal thyroid function isn't just helpful – it's essential. The Nutrient Trifecta Want your thyroid firing on all cylinders? You need three key players: iodine, selenium, and zinc. But here's the catch – more isn't always better. Like race-day nutrition, it's about getting the balance right. Strategic food choices like seafood, organ meats, and nuts can deliver these nutrients without the risks of over-supplementation. Red Flags You Can't Ignore If you're experiencing: - Unexplained fatigue despite proper rest - Stubborn weight changes - Slower recovery between sessions - Mood swings affecting your training drive It's time for a proper thyroid assessment. Don't guess – get tested. A comprehensive blood panel including TSH, T3, T4, and thyroid antibodies will tell you exactly where you stand. The Overtraining Connection Think you can push through anything? Think again. Excessive training without proper recovery can throw your thyroid into chaos. Those sleepless nights and persistent fatigue aren't badges of honour – they're warnings that your body needs a different approach. Your Action Plan for Optimal Thyroid Function Fuel Smart: Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods that support thyroid function Guard Your Gut: Your thyroid depends on proper nutrient absorption Manage Stress: Yes, that includes training stress – more isn't always better Beyond the Basics Living with a thyroid condition doesn't mean hanging up your tri suit. Whether you're managing Hashimoto's or just optimising your performance, it's about working with your body, not against it. Regular monitoring and professional guidance can keep you racing strong.

In an age where our devices are an extension of ourselves, the impact of social media and digital distractions is becoming increasingly evident. Host M. Brianne Davis Gant candidly shares her personal experiences with screen addiction and its detrimental effects on mental health, particularly depression.Brianne opens the episode by expressing her disdain for social media, describing it as a force that "sucks the life out of me." This sentiment is not uncommon, as many individuals find themselves scrolling endlessly, only to feel empty and disconnected afterward. The irony is that while these platforms are designed to connect us, they often do the opposite, isolating us from real human interaction._____If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or feeling overwhelmed, we've compiled a list of resources at secretlifepodcast.com______To share your secret and be a guest on the show email secretlifepodcast@icloud.com_____SECRET LIFE'S TOPICS INCLUDE:addiction recovery, mental health, alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction, love addiction, OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, eating disorders, debt & money issues, anorexia, depression, shoplifting,  molestation, sexual assault, trauma, relationships, self-love, friendships, community, secrets, self-care, courage, freedom, and happiness._____Create and Host Your Podcast with the same host we use - RedCircle_____Get your copy of SECRET LIFE OF A HOLLYWOOD SEX & LOVE ADDICT -- Secret Life Novel or on Amazon______HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE SHOW?Tell Your Friends & Share Online!Follow, Rate & Review: Apple Podcasts | SpotifyFollow & Listen iHeart | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Amazon | PandoraSpread the word via social mediaInstagramTwitterFacebook#SecretLifePodcastDonate - You can also support the show with a one-time or monthly donation via PayPal (make payment to secretlifepodcast@icloud.com) or at our WEBSITE.Connect with Brianne Davis-Gantt (@thebriannedavis)Official WebsiteBrianne's Coaching WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterConnect with Mark Gantt (@markgantt)Main WebsiteDirecting WebsiteMark Gantt Coaching WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secret-life/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The impact of social media on men is a complex issue with both potential benefits and drawbacks. While platforms can provide valuable connections, build communities, and offer access to information, concerns exist regarding their influence on male identity. Excessive social media use can contribute to unrealistic comparisons, fostering anxiety and body image issues. The constant stream of curated perfection can erode self-esteem and promote a hyper-masculine ideal that may be detrimental to mental health. Furthermore, the echo chambers and algorithmic biases inherent in many platforms can reinforce existing prejudices and limit exposure to diverse perspectives, hindering personal growth and critical thinking.

They explore society's declining values, the rise in youth crime and how educational approaches impact children's development. Birbalsingh shares her philosophy of extreme ownership in schools, arguing that addressing small infractions prevents larger problems. They also discuss modern education, political correctness and the importance of teaching personal responsibility to create a better society. Katharine Burbalsingh REVEALS: Her broken windows theory approach to discipline Why society has become increasingly dangerous Why people are now afraid to confront wrongdoing That schools must teach children personal responsibility, duty towards others and self-sacrifice rather than victimhood How the absence of a Dad significantly impacts children's development and how society no longer recognises the importance of Dads How private schools have lost their way by embracing woke ideologies rather than maintaining traditional educational values That schools are microcosms of society, when schools change, society changes and vice versa Excessive bureaucracy and performative DEI training drain meaning and purpose from schools BEST MOMENTS "When you don't look after the details, the biggest stuff starts to happen...

  Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes Jacqui Bryan, a functional medicine expert, to shed light on the often-overlooked topic of copper and its critical role in maintaining health, especially for cancer patients. Saranne and Jacqui explore how copper, an essential trace mineral, supports immune function, energy production, brain health, and more while addressing the dangers of imbalance. Together, they discuss practical, food-based approaches to achieving optimal copper levels, share laughter over copper pots and British slang, and provide actionable tips for checking your nutritional status, reminding listeners that even the smallest nutrients can significantly impact well-being. Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, registered nurse, and functional medicine practitioner. With over two decades of expertise, Jacqui is recognized for her food-first philosophy and commitment to empowering individuals, especially cancer survivors, with knowledge about nutrition and holistic wellness. As a 21-year breast cancer survivor, Jacqui is a recurring expert guest on Beating Cancer Daily. She is known for her relatable guidance, science-based strategies, and compassion for those navigating health challenges. "I want to build the excitement about copper. It plays in iron absorption and can help prevent anemia because it helps form red blood cells." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Copper is an essential trace mineral that must be obtained from food, as the body cannot produce it. ·     The right amount of copper is crucial for immune support, energy production, and the formation of neurotransmitters for brain health. Moderation is key, as too much copper may lead to toxicity symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and even kidney damage. ·     Copper aids in iron absorption and red blood cell formation, helping to prevent anemia and related fatigue. ·     Copper-rich foods include beef liver, oysters, dark chocolate, cashews, sunflower seeds, lentils, almonds, shiitake mushrooms, avocados, and quinoa. ·     Excessive zinc intake can contribute to copper deficiency, highlighting the importance of nutrient balance. ·     Copper supports joint and bone health due to its role in collagen and elastin formation. ·     The best way to determine copper status is through a blood test; supplementation is not generally recommended unless directed by a healthcare provider. Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, Beating Cancer Daily and rated #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 is listened to in more than 130 countries on 7 continents and has over 365 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg!   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions To sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/ Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

Excessive people-pleasing isn't just a social habit—it's a physiological trigger for chronic pain and symptoms. In this revealing episode, we explore how constantly putting others' needs before our own creates a state of nervous system danger that manifests as physical suffering.We unpack why people-pleasing behavior develops (it made evolutionary sense for survival) and why it's so difficult to change, especially when relationships have adapted to expect our accommodation. Through personal examples from our own relationship, we show how these patterns create resentment, dysregulation, and ultimately physical symptoms—and how changing them can lead to healing.The heart of our conversation centers on four powerful strategies to break free from people-pleasing: practicing exposure while sitting with the inevitable discomfort, honoring your authentic values and needs, setting appropriate boundaries, and learning free expression of emotions. Each approach requires practice and patience, but together they create a pathway toward greater authenticity and physical well-being.What makes this episode particularly valuable is our acknowledgment that changing these patterns isn't simple—it requires understanding that as we adjust our behavior, we're also retraining others who've grown accustomed to our accommodating nature. We offer practical starting points for those who recognize themselves in these patterns, while emphasizing safety considerations for those in challenging situations.Ready to transform your relationship with yourself and others while reducing pain?

In episode 5 Dr. Karyne Messina and Dr. Harry Gill talked about what can happen when middle-age and older adults watch screens too much as opposed to engaging in other important tasks in life during Erik Eriksson's last two stages of development. In the “Generativity versus Stagnation” stage (ages 40-65), productive individuals focus on contributing to society by raising families, engaging in meaningful work, and connecting with their communities. This can't be done in optimal ways when people spend too much time watching screens. Excessive screen time may also lead to a sense of stagnation if it prevents individuals from engaging in life in meaningful ways. In the “Integrity vs. Despair” stage (65+ years old), people who are connected to others don't watch screens excessively because they are engaged in life in their later years reflecting on what they have accomplished whether it is through writing books or sharing information with others in different ways. Too much screen time can interfere with the ability to engage in a meaningful review of one's life. Instead of sharing wisdom with younger generations, older adults who focus of watching screens for many hours a day may become isolated and disconnected from real-world interactions, potentially leading to a sense of despair. Dr. Messina discussed the fact that adults who spend 6 or more hours a day on social media platforms tend to be much more depressed and anxious than those who don't. Dr. Gill talked about the effects of too much screentime on sleep, explaining how blue light emitted by screens interferes with falling asleep because of the lack of production of melatonin. This prevents people from falling asleep. They both talked about the benefits of turning off phones and televisions early in the evening so that a person, couple or family can have quality time participating in some type of meaningful activity versus watching what people on screens are saying or doing. Another topic included in this podcast and YouTube video outlined ways to mitigate problems associated with too much screen time. Dr. Messina focused on the importance of community which she thinks is important at all ages. If getting together in person isn't possible, talking with a friend on the phone is better than using this device for passive purposes such as scrolling through social media posts. Dr. Gill reminded people how important it is to meet in person and said some of his patients have actually enjoyed going back to work full-time once they have gotten used to it again. He added that screen aren't always negative later in life if people aren't able to meet in person. For example, if older people can't drive or easily meet with friends or family members in person, he said some of his patients have weekly Zoom meetings with others which helps them feel connected. Drs. Gill and Messina talked about being addicted to screens and what people can do about this condition which starts with a commitment to set limits and make rules about screentime. Finding other worthwhile or pleasurable activities was included in the discussion such as listening to music, reading, painting, doing crossword puzzles, etc. Learn more about your ad choices.

Excessive meetings cost the U.S. economy $3 trillion annually, and Lawrence emphasises that large gatherings often lead to wasted time and disengaged participants.    Lawrence also argues that one-on-one meetings are the most effective for communication, problem-solving, and building relationships, contrasting them with larger meetings which can become inefficient unless strategically managed. Andy and Lawrence discuss where there are advantages to larger meetings in terms of developing professional relationships. Lawrence provides practical advice on declining unnecessary meetings and adapting communication styles to different personality types, particularly balancing introverts and extroverts. He also touches on the importance of direct yet respectful communication in leadership.   Key Takeaways: Large meetings often lead to significant time wastage and disengagement among participants. One-on-one meetings are the most effective for deep communication and relationship-building. Leaders should adapt their communication styles to suit different personality types within their teams. Direct and honest communication should be practiced without resorting to anger or disrespect. Strategic use of technology can replace some meetings, but brainstorming sessions still benefit from in-person interactions.   SELECTED LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Connect with Andy Lopata: Website |Instagram | LinkedIn | X/Twitter | YouTube Connect with Lawrence Krubner: Website |LinkedIn | The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring Episode 180 Featuring Lawrence Krubner

Send us a textShort Summary: How dietary fructose affects the growth rate of cancer.About the guest: Gary Patti, PhD is a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, holding appointments in chemistry, medicine, and geneticsNote: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Nick Jikomes talks to Dr. Patti, exploring how cancer cells metabolize sugars like glucose and fructose, focusing on a recent study showing fructose indirectly boosts tumor growth in mice via liver-produced lipids called LPCs. The discussion covers cancer biology basics, Warburg effect, tumor microenvironments, and systemic metabolic impacts of cancer, while also touching on dietary implications, fasting, and the complexities of nutrient use in cancer progression.Key Takeaways:Cancer cells often rely heavily on glucose, excreting it as lactate even when oxygen is available (Warburg effect), but take up more than their mitochondria can handle.In a study, high fructose diets accelerated tumor growth in mice by 4x, not because cancer cells use fructose directly, but because the liver converts it to LPCs, which tumors use to build membranes.Tumors are not just cancer cells; they recruit healthy cells in their microenvironment, and their metabolic effects ripple across the entire body, altering distant tissues.Excessive fructose consumption may worsen tumor growth, but cutting it poses little risk and could benefit cancer patients, pending human studies.Fasting may reduce cancer initiation risk in animals, but its effect on existing tumors is less clear and could worsen wasting (cachexia) in late stages.The body tightly regulates blood glucose via the liver, so simply cutting dietary glucose won't starve tumors, highlighting cancer's metabolic adaptability.Related episode:M&M #200: Dietary Fats & Seed Oils in Inflammation, Colon CancerSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Excessive regulations can strangle small businesses, delay job creation, and burden entrepreneurs with unnecessary red tape. But in Georgia, leaders are taking action to fix it. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones to discuss the Red Tape Rollback Act, a bold initiative aimed at reducing government overreach and making the state more business-friendly. Jones explains how the legislation will require every state agency to regularly review and justify their regulations, ensuring only necessary and effective rules remain in place. He also highlights how regulatory burdens often create backlogs, slow licensing processes, and make it harder for individuals and businesses to thrive. As a lifelong businessman, Jones brings firsthand experience in dealing with government inefficiencies and is leading the charge to make Georgia a national model for streamlined governance. Tune in to hear how cutting through red tape will promote economic growth, create more opportunities, and put power back in the hands of the people.

Story at-a-glance Glucose and fructose, two simple sugars, behave differently in your body. Glucose provides quick energy while fructose goes directly to your liver Fructose in whole fruits is paired with fiber and nutrients that slow absorption, while processed fructose like high-fructose corn syrup flood your liver with sugar Excessive fructose consumption leads to de novo lipogenesis in the liver, resulting in fat buildup and an increased risk of fatty liver disease Processed sugars, unlike whole fruits, create rapid blood sugar spikes that put stress on insulin production and increases the risk of metabolic issues Consuming whole fruits with natural sugars supports a healthier metabolism by delivering fiber, water, and antioxidants that balance sugar absorption

Episode 438 The TEAM Approach to Habits and Addictions Powerful New, Radically Different Approaches that Can Help! Today, Dr. Jill Levitt joins David and Rhonda to discuss and illustrate the TEAM CBT approach to habits and addictions and give a little promo for their upcoming online workshop on Habits and Addictions on March 28, 2025. You can sign up for the workshop here: cbt-workshop.com Although the workshop is for mental health professionals, participants will have the chance to work on their own habits and addictions during the workshop in order to gain a more in-depth understanding of the new treatment methods for: Overeating / binging / restricting Drugs Alcohol Procrastination Doomscrolling Excessive cell phone use Internet addiction Excessive use of social media Shop-a-Holic Biting fingernails Video games Gambling And more David emphasized that nearly all current treatment methods frequently fall short because they focus on control of symptoms using behavior modification rather than the cause. He describes a research study at the Stanford inpatient unit that indicated that 50 common DSM Diagnoses (such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and more) were not significantly correlated with any of the DSM addictive / misuse disorders including drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, and gambling, which was not really consistent with the beliefs of many that emotional factors play a central causal role in addictions. In fact, the only significant correlation he noted was between depression and overeating, but the correlation was in the negative direction—in other words, higher levels of depression were associated with weight loss, not weight gain. And, in addition, the magnitude of the correlation was extremely small, indicating that other factors play a far more important role. So, what is the explanation for this puzzling and anti-intuitive finding? David described a 5-item survey he developed which asks about temptations in use or give in to your habit / addiction in the past week. This tool, in contrast to all of the DSM diagnoses, was very strongly correlated with all the addictions. This suggests that we give in to our habits and addictions for one simple reason--they make us feel great! At least in the short term! 150 years ago, they didn't have an epidemic of obesity in America. Why not? Life was likely just as stressful as it is now, maybe even more so! But what they didn't have was all the fast food restaurants and all the gooey, tasty foods that are abundantly available today, and they didn't have the resources to purchase them, either. This doesn't mean that behavioral models or diets or other tools have no value. But the TEAM CBT model focuses first on assessing the patient's motivation for and resistance to treatment using a variety of powerful and innovative new techniques, including: The Triple Paradox The Ten Positive Distortions The Habits and Addictions Log (HAL) The Devil's Advocate Technique The Five-Minute Rule The “I Stubbornly Refused” Technique The Anti-Procrastination Sheet Relapse Prevention Techniques utilizing The Externalization of Voices The Acceptance Paradox Stimulus Control And more They emphasized that these are methods, but not in the ordinary sense, because they rely heavily on the use of paradox, which is unfamiliar to many therapists, and require a great deal of skill. Jill and David first discussed the nature of tempting thoughts and how positive distortions work. Then, they illustrated the Devil's Advocate Technique with Rhonda who volunteered to work on her temptation to overeat chocolate, and especially chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter, and listed several of her tempting thoughts, including: 1. A little chocolate chip cookie can't hurt. 2. I have to keep them in the house because my husband loves them. 3. Just one cookie. It will taste SOOOO Gooood! 4. I can always work out a little more. 5. That cookie smells Sooo Good! I just CAN'T resist. Jill and David played the tempting part of Rhonda's brain, and she played the part that resisted the temptations. She started strong, but her conviction seemed to weaken on the third thought, and she didn't win “huge.” Instead of doing a role reversal to “help” or “save” her, David said that perhaps that wasn't really something she was willing to give up, and perhaps we could work on something else instead. She INSTANTLY did a complete turnaround and won “huge” when they gave her another chance to defeat the tempting voice. David and Jill emphasized that paradox nearly always wins, and “helping” nearly always fails. But this is why these methods are so challenging—because the therapist's well-intentioned attempts to help nearly always backfire, and yet are extremely difficult to resist. Jill and David emphasize that prior to doing this type of role-playing method, it is crucial to find out if this is something the patient really wants help with, and Jill emphasized that we rarely or never impose an agenda on any patient. We do not have any belief that there is a “correct” way for people to be. Rhonda—or any patient--will first have to convince us that this is something she really wants help with. And that will be one of the many take home messages for the therapists who attend on March 28th. Thanks for listening today, and be sure to tune in again next week! Jill, Rhonda, and David
