Are Americans actually becoming less healthy?That's an idea that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been repeating for a while now. While there are some nuggets of truth in that – on the whole, American life expectancy has gone up a lot in Kennedy's lifetime. So why does a backward-looking narrative serve his agenda? And what would actually move the needle forward on improving Americans' health?Brittany is joined by NPR health policy correspondent Selena Simmons-Duffin to get into the nuances of what “healthy” means.Want more about modern health?

Most women will research every stroller, bottle, and sleep schedule for their baby but spend almost no time thinking about how to support their own body during pregnancy.  In this episode, I'm sharing a “half baked” pregnancy update and pulling back the curtain on what I've actually been doing to support my body while growing this baby.  The reality is that most prenatal care is focused on monitoring the baby, not optimizing the mother's health. And while that makes sense medically, it also leaves a huge gap in how women care for themselves during one of the most physically demanding seasons of life.  Pregnancy is often treated like a time to pause your health goals, but I see it more like a sport that requires intentional preparation and support. In this episode, I walk through the team I've built around me including a functional practitioner, doula, midwife, pelvic floor physical therapist, chiropractor, and massage therapist and why I chose to outsource as many decisions as possible during this season.  I share what the first trimester actually looked like for me, from fatigue and nausea to the unexpected mental challenge of body image changes.  We also talk about the simple systems I'm using moving into the second and third trimesters, including strength training, daily movement, blood sugar stability, and pelvic floor work.  I explain how I'm thinking about nutrition not just for myself, but for my baby's long-term health and taste development. We'll also talk honestly about the physical discomforts of pregnancy and the moments that can make you question whether something is wrong. Finally, I share how researching birth options shifted my mindset from nervousness to genuine excitement, and why I ultimately decided on a home birth with a midwife and doula while still working with my OB for imaging.  If you're pregnant, planning to be, or just curious about a different approach to supporting your body through pregnancy, this episode offers a real, honest look behind the scenes.   Time Stamps:   (2:54) The Anatomy Scan (11:02) What I'm Doing/Will Do During Pregnancy (14:02) Midwife vs Traditional OBGYN Care (19:43) Letting Experts Help Me (28:24) Choosing A Home Birth --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Why Female Physiology Still Needs Greater Attention in Sport with Dr Candice Macmillan This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, host Richard Graves welcomes Dr Candice Macmillan, Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Marquette University, for an important and often under-discussed conversation around female athlete health and hormonal contraception. As women's sport continues to grow professionally around the world, understanding the unique physiological considerations of female athletes has never been more important. Yet many practitioners still feel underprepared when supporting athletes through topics such as the menstrual cycle, hormonal contraceptives, and their potential implications for performance, wellbeing, and decision-making. Drawing on her background as a sports physiotherapist, researcher, and academic, Dr Macmillan explores how practitioners can better support female athletes through education, communication, and evidence-based decision making. The conversation covers the complexity of hormonal contraceptives, how different types influence physiology and behaviour, and why awareness of factors such as testosterone suppression and symptom tracking may be crucial for athletes and support staff alike. Perhaps most importantly, Dr Macmillan explains why empowering athletes to ask the right questions about their own health may be one of the most powerful tools practitioners can provide. This episode offers valuable insights for sports scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists, and performance staff working across elite sport — while also opening up a conversation that continues to shape the future of female athlete support systems. In This Episode You Will Learn Why female athlete health remains one of the most misunderstood areas in elite sport The difference between hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives Why the contraceptive pill is not a single solution and varies widely in composition How hormonal contraceptives can influence testosterone levels and athlete behaviour Why symptoms may impact performance more than hormone levels themselves The importance of tracking menstrual symptoms for informed medical decisions Why practitioners must help athletes learn the language to describe how they feel The role communication plays between athletes, coaches and medical staff How policy and education are shaping the future of female athlete support in sport About Dr Candice Macmillan Dr Candice Macmillan is the Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Marquette University and a sports physiotherapist with a PhD in Sports Physiotherapy. Her work focuses on injury prevention, athlete health, and female athlete performance. Dr Macmillan's research explores the intersection of biomechanics, hormonal influences, and performance outcomes in women's sport. She leads research initiatives investigating female athlete physiology and is actively involved in advancing education and awareness around female athlete health. Her work aims to bridge the gap between research and applied practice so practitioners can better support athletes in real-world performance environments.

Calories in vs. calories out (CICO) has been debated in fitness and nutrition circles for decades. Is weight loss really just about eating less and moving more? Or is there more to the story?In this episode of the Co-Movement Gym Podcast, Andrew breaks down the truth about CICO — why it's biologically true, why it's so controversial, and the major misunderstanding that has led to decades of confusion and bad weight loss advice. Using a powerful “money in, money out” analogy, he explains the difference between descriptive and prescriptive thinking, and why “eat less, move more” fails so many people.If you've ever struggled with weight loss despite doing everything “right,” this episode will help you make sense of it.Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Why CICO Is So Controversial02:13 – What Does Calories In vs. Calories Out Actually Mean?05:00 – Is CICO True or False?

For review:1. Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was chosen Sunday to succeed him, despite never having been elected or appointed to a government position.A secretive figure within the Islamic Republic, Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen publicly since the start of the war.2.  US President Donald Trump told The Times of Israel on Sunday that a decision on when to end the war with Iran will be a “mutual” one that he'll make together with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.3. Israel Defense Forces chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned on Sunday that there was “no safe place” for the Iranian regime to hide.The military provided details on a strike carried out on Saturday against the newly appointed military secretary to Iran's supreme leader, Abol-hasem Babian, who was appointed last week- was confirmed killed by the IDF.4. Iranian Fars news agency reported that Israel's Saturday strikes hit four oil storage facilities and an oil production transfer center in Tehran and Alborz. Residents reported the smell of burning lingering in the air, with many saying it appeared dark even as the sun rose and rain poured on the city. 5. ·NYT Report:  Iran may be able to access and move highly enriched uranium that had been previously thought to have been buried underground by US strikes on the Isfahan nuclear facility last June.6. ·Emirati officials raged on Sunday over what they called false Israeli media reports claiming that the United Arab Emirates had carried out a military strike on Iran amid the ongoing US-Israeli bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic.7. · Saudi Arabia has told Tehran that while it favors a diplomatic settlement to Iran's conflict with the United States, continued attacks on the kingdom and its energy sector could push Riyadh to respond in kind, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Saturday.

Getting strong after 50 isn't about grinding harder on the treadmill or eating like a bird. But read any fitness article for those over 50 and what do you see?"Exercise" more, walk more, do yoga, eat less.But after 50, that approach misses the single most important thing you can do for your metabolism, your bones, your hormones, and your longevity....Lift weights and build muscle.I recently joined Lynn Hardy on The Aging Games Podcast to talk about why strength training is the foundation, not the supplement, for aging well. We discussed how much protein you actually need (and why most women aren't getting enough), where carbs fit when you're training for muscle, a simple 3-day lifting framework that works for beginners, and why sitting all day undermines even a solid gym routine.If you've been told that walking and Pilates are enough, or that lifting heavy will make you bulky, this conversation sets the record straight with evidence and real client examples.Get on the Eat More Lift Heavy waitlist for founder pricing on my new 26-week nutrition and strength training program:https://witsandweights.com/eatmoreEpisode ResourcesCheck out Lynn Hardy's show: The Aging Games Podcast with Lynn Hardy

Every summer we used to take a large delegation to a great youth conference in Ocean City, New Jersey. One of our veteran staff was in charge of that delegation, and it was a big responsibility at the shore. When my son was old enough to go to that conference, he commented on Greg's leadership. He said, "You know, Greg's really serious." Well my wife and I kind of laughed. We said, "Oh, you should hear some of the crazy things he's done down at Ocean City." And then my son said, "Not any more. He's in charge now." Well, my son was making a pretty valid observation. As your authority increases, so does your responsibility. Followers, I guess, can goof off, but leadership; oh, that's serious business. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Leadership Lifestyle." Now, our word for today from the Word of God is about leaders, and you might be one whether you realize it or not. Hebrews 13:17 - "Obey your leaders and submit to their authority." Now, I've always thought "Hey, wouldn't it be great to be one of those leaders? You get to be obeyed and submitted to." Yeah, wait until you hear the rest of the verse. "...they keep watch over you as men who must give an account." Whoa. That means that if you have anyone looking to you, you will one day have the privilege and the opportunity to explain to God what you did with those people. Man! "God, here's how I influenced those people and why they ended up as they did." Well see, God's looking for people that He can trust with a promotion. He's looking for teachers and leaders, and musicians, and shepherds for His Kingdom. And maybe He's trusted you with some influence: a class, or a study group, a church, maybe a musical ministry, a position of authority in God's work. Well, then, be careful how you live. You can do so much good, and you can do so much harm. In a letter that James Dobson wrote years ago he told about an incident that occurred when he went to a Christian book seller's convention and for the first time he saw all of his materials displayed and his picture all over the place. And he said, "I heard as it were almost an audible voice saying, 'Jim, look around you. I have chosen for reasons that you don't understand to make you visible and influential with My people. And in that sense, I am preparing to make the work of My Kingdom vulnerable to you. That's why I'm telling you to be careful; think before you act; hold a tighter reign on your tongue and on your thought life than ever before. When your natural impulse is to become angry or vindictive, resist the temptation as much as possible, and keep your life free of willful and deliberate sin. You will soon be in a position to hurt my people. See that it doesn't happen.'" Whew! Man! Now, you're not a Dobson, or some spiritual star perhaps, but maybe God's lifted you to a place where others are looking at you or to you. And it's exciting, but it's a heavy responsibility, one for which you must give account the Bible says. Exercise care in what you say, what you joke about. Be careful what you watch. Stop with the negative comments, the critical comments before anybody can hear them, those displays of anger. Not for you; not now. God has called you to some measure of leadership and the responsible lifestyle that goes with that. I think that's an awfully powerful incentive to be all you were meant to be in Christ. It's a good thing; a good reason to live up to what Jesus wants for all of His kids. But He has put trust in your hands. He's put His reputation in your hands. He has made His Kingdom vulnerable to you. You are in a position to hurt some of God's people. See that it doesn't happen.

Resveratrol + Copper Research, Plus Grain-Free Strategies for Stalled Weight Loss: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener emails. She reviews a small India study (BJC Reports, published September 30, 2025) in which 10 glioblastoma patients awaiting surgery received resveratrol (5.6 mg) and copper (560 ng) four times daily for about 11.6 days, compared with 10 controls; the combination generated reactive oxygen species that deactivated cell-free chromatin particles in the tumor microenvironment and reduced cancer hallmarks. Asked whether this could be prophylactic against cancer, she says it is unknown and requires replication in larger studies, advising supplement use be discussed with a practitioner. She then addresses grain elimination for stalled weight loss: replace grains with more meat and non-starchy vegetables, think beyond typical breakfast foods by using leftovers, and use small portions of starchy vegetables (e.g., squash or potato) if starch helps sleep. She recommends investigating root causes of anxiety and poor sleep and suggests moderation for foods like oatmeal.

Is calorie counting sabotaging your weight loss? New research says you're missing something big. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Oldson breaks down a newly published randomized controlled trial that challenges the "eat less, move more" approach to weight loss once and for all.Dr. Oldson shares what she observed early in her career about why calorie restriction alone almost never leads to lasting results, and what the science actually says about sustainable weight loss. Spoiler: it has a lot more to do with stress hormones, sleep, self-compassion, and community than it does with counting calories.You'll learn:Why calorie restriction triggers hunger hormones that work against your weight loss effortsHow chronic stress and elevated cortisol drive weight gain and abdominal fatWhat a new study from Brazil reveals about the power of mindfulness, behavioral support, and community in producing better outcomes than a low-calorie diet aloneWhy low adherence to calorie-restricted diets isn't a willpower problem, it's a biology problemThe questions to ask about any weight loss program to know if it will actually work long-termIf you've ever felt like you were doing everything right and still not losing weight, or losing it and gaining it right back, this episode is for you.Thanks for listening!

Samantha Rux from OSF Healthcare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about a study that shows that regular exercise and weight training are more impactful for women than men. New research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology highlights greater exercise benefits for women compared to men. Tracking 400,000 individuals, the study found that women who work out regularly are 24% less likely to die early, compared to a 15% reduction for men. Women also saw a 36% lower risk of cardiovascular death, far outpacing men at just 14%. Nurse practitioner Mary O'Meara of OSF HealthCare urges women to add strength training to their routines, explaining that it can help combat muscle loss, improve heart health, and lower risks of dementia and osteoporosis. Proper protein intake and healthy fats are also recommended to maximize these benefits. A new study highlights a significant gender gap in heart health: women who exercise regularly experience a 36% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular events, compared to a 14% reduction in men. Mary O'Meara, a nurse practitioner at OSF HealthCare, points out that heart attacks in women are often missed, as symptoms can be subtle—fatigue, nausea, or heartburn—rather than intense chest pain. O'Meara emphasizes strength training and adequate protein intake, especially during menopause, to reduce risks of dementia, osteoporosis, and muscle loss. She also advocates for healthy fats like olive oil and fish oil in the diet, reminding women that it's never too late to start moving.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. David Allison, Director of the USDA Children's Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine. Together, they examine what it takes to build public trust in nutrition and longevity science, and why clear, reproducible evidence matters more than ever. David highlights how public perception and scientific rigor can drift apart, especially in fields crowded with strong opinions and shifting trends.David shares sharp insights on weight management, challenging the idea that slow and steady always wins. He explains the “dentistry model” of weight loss, where maintenance matters more than one-time fixes, and explores why most people regain weight without ongoing support. The discussion cuts through assumptions about exercise, protein, and processed foods, showing where animal research aligns, or fails to align, with human studies.Throughout, David pushes for honest communication and transparency in science. He urges listeners to question hype, look past nutrition fads, and recognize the real limits of current evidence. The episode offers practical wisdom for anyone who wants to approach health, nutrition, and longevity with both curiosity and caution. Guest-at-a-Glance

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly.”

Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and the Mental Health Benefits of Speaking Up: Clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly,” frames free expression as a mental health and problem-solving issue amid rising polarization, self-censorship, and cancel culture. Carmichael says authentic speech deepens cognition, aids emotional regulation, and strengthens social support, while chronic suppression can lead to repression, denial, anxiety, depression, and resentment. She describes fear and professional risk after publicly opposing child masking during COVID and argues that labeling speech as “violence” distorts reality, though true threats and incitement differ from words. She distinguishes self-censorship from healthy restraint, offers the WAIT test (Want, Appropriate, Inoculate, Trust), and discusses groupthink, innovation, misinformation debates, time-place-manner limits, and examples from corporate and university settings.

Send a textHave you ever felt like a stranger in your own body even though you used to have fitness completely dialed in? You had the routine. The rhythm. Exercise was just part of who you were.

Sometimes a great idea doesn't come from thinking harder — but from shifting your body. Research suggests that posture can influence how creatively and flexibly you think, meaning the position you're in during a brainstorming session could actually affect whether you have that “Eureka!” moment. Listen to how that works as we open this episode. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27992759 It feels like everyone has allergies these days. But do they really? And what exactly qualifies as an allergy in the first place? Dr. Zachary Rubin, a double board-certified pediatrician and allergist/immunologist in the Chicago area and author of All About Allergies: Everything You Need to Know About Asthma, Food Allergies, Hay Fever, and More (https://amzn.to/401KdW5) explains why allergies appear to be on the rise, why many people think they have allergies but don't, and what's really happening inside your immune system when a true allergic reaction occurs. Have you ever agreed to something you didn't want to do, apologized when it wasn't your fault, or stayed silent when you knew you should speak up? These patterns can feel automatic — almost out of your control. Kati Morton, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of Why Do I Keep Doing This?: Unlearn the Habits Keeping You Stuck and Unhappy (https://amzn.to/3ZDmcV3) explains why these self-sabotaging behaviors form, why they repeat, and how to finally interrupt them. One of the main reasons people exercise is to lose weight. It seems logical: burn more calories, lose more fat. But the science tells a more complicated story. Exercise is incredibly important for health — but when it comes to shedding pounds, its impact may be far smaller than most people believe. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3925973/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

Today we have Tom. He is 40 years old from New Canaan, CT and took his last drink on July 12th, 2024.   This episode is brought to you by:   Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help Soberlink – sign up and claim your $100 enrollment bonus   Happy March! The Café RE theme this month is Mindfulness and Awareness. This key topic helps us build awareness and space, which ultimately gives us the freedom to make different choices beyond drinking. Café RE will feature chats focused on mindfulness. It has been said that the most powerful medicine can't match the power of awareness.   Recovery Elevator is compiling a list of recovery stories and we're going to put them in a book called This is How We Quit. If you want to be part of this book, and submit your story, we'd love to have you. There is no sobriety time requirement so if your saying to yourself, well, I've only been sober 30 days, I can't submit my story, then nonsense. Send an email to info@recoveryelevator.com and you'll get a google form to fill out and submit your story.   [03:56] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares with us a quote from author Brianna Wiest.   "Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It's going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It's going to cost you relationships and friends. It's going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn't matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You're going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you're going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you're going to be seen. All you're going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are." [06:25] Paul introduces Tom:   Tom is 40 years old and lives in New Canaan, CT. He is a construction superintendent, is married and they have 5-year-old twins. For fun, Tom enjoys gold, skiing and spending time with his kids.   Tom first drank at age 14 and says he frequently blacked out when he drank going forward. There were multiple legal consequences throughout his late teens and early twenties as his binge drinking continued through college. Around age 21, Tom began using cocaine which enabled him to drink more with less blackouts.   After college, Tom and his friends mainly drank on the weekend. Fast forward a few years and he found himself drinking alone during the week while his friends did not. As time progressed, he would wake up daily and trash talk himself for not being able to stop at just one or two. He felt like Jekyll and Hyde and struggled with that throughout his 30's.   In 2020, Tom's twins were born. He struggled to juggle his drinking life and his family life. His wife was growing frustrated, and Tom wasn't the parent that he had hoped he would be. In spite of this, he never really thought about quitting drinking, but quickly realized moderation didn't work. He knew he would need to quit drinking for himself and not just for his family. His wife was growing frustrated, and Tom knew he would lose everything if he didn't quit.   On June 12th, 2024, Tom was going to start a new job and looked at it as a clean slate. He says quitting was awkward and he began to talk to an alcohol counselor that helped him a lot. Within the first few months Tom felt better physically and able to establish a workout routine which helped him start the day in a better headspace. He started listening to the RE podcast and relating to others' stories. Exercise has become a hobby for Tom. Woodworking is a hobby that has come back for Tom as well, he takes pride in the projects he completes now.   Tom's parting piece of guidance: If you can make it through the first couple of days, and start to see the benefit, it'll get better every day. There'll be bad moments and challenging moments, but don't give up.     Recovery Elevator Remember this is an inside job. It all starts from the inside out. I love you guys.     RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube
