Podcasts about extremes

In this raw and revealing episode, we sit down with IFBB Bikini Olympia champion Nathalia Melo, who takes us behind the curtain of bodybuilding, body image, and motherhood. From hiding her body three months before winning the Olympia to rebuilding her relationship with food, fitness, and herself after two kids, Nathalia opens up about the very real struggles behind the "perfect" body.We talk about:How toxic behaviors get glamorized in the fitness industryThe ripple effect of body image on kids — even when we think they aren't watchingResentment, routines, and why self-care is non-negotiableThe lies we tell ourselves (and others) about hormones, fat loss, and motivationHow Nathalia's mindset shifted when motherhood entered the pictureIf you've ever felt like you're failing because you can't do it all - this one's for you.Key Takeaways:Winning doesn't fix body image. Even at her physical peak, Nathalia struggled with shame and insecurity.Behavior speaks louder than words. Kids pick up on how we treat our bodies — even when we're not talking about it.Extremes don't work long-term. Whether it's competing or crash dieting, unsustainable methods erode confidence over time.Resentment grows in silence. Sacrificing yourself endlessly leads to burnout — and bitterness toward the ones you love.Motherhood is a mindset shift. Fitness after kids isn't about bouncing back — it's about redefining what matters.Listen Now If You:Feel stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle with your body or dietWant to raise kids without passing on your body image baggageAre tired of the toxic positivity that tells you to “just be grateful”Need permission to put yourself first, without guiltThank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

Are you longing for more than just getting through the week? What if God created you to thrive, not just survive? In this inspiring and down-to-earth sermon, Benjamin Greentree shares a powerful message titled “Thriving from Your Extremes,” focused on how you can step into joyful Christian living, even when life feels heavy. Drawing from personal stories of missions work, culture shock, and spiritual discomfort, Benjamin walks us through how God meets us in our struggles — and teaches us how to flourish, prosper, and grow through them. This message tackles the real obstacles that keep many believers from thriving: apathy, depression, and anxiety. With biblical insight and raw honesty, Benjamin reveals how these “bad fruits” often hold us back from experiencing joy and purpose — and how God offers Extreme Faith, Extreme Joy, and Extreme Peace to counter them. ➡️ If you've been asking, “How do I grow spiritually?” “How can I live joyfully as a Christian, even in hard seasons?” “What does thriving in Christ actually look like?” This message is for you. You'll hear how biblical figures like Noah, David, and Paul lived in extreme ways, not for attention, but because of deep trust, gratitude, and peace that came from walking with God. More importantly, you'll be challenged to choose your own “One Thing” to grow in: Faith, Joy, Peace… or Salvation itself. Whether you feel distant from God, stuck in your faith, or just hungry for a deeper spiritual life, this sermon will give you the encouragement, biblical truth, and real-life tools to step into joyful Christian living starting today.

We're back with science-based naturopathic doctor, Dr. Josh Levitt. No, it doesn't have to be an oxymoron - he's a myth-buster extraordinaire and this conversation is all about finding the truth in the mess of modern wellness. From essential oils and detoxes to gallbladder flushes and ear candles, we get into what's actually helpful, what's hype, and why so many people get caught in the middle. Dr. Josh and I talk about the nuance that often gets lost in clickbait culture — how real healing usually lives in the gray space between conventional and natural medicine. He shares how his own journey (which involves a blister, a Swiss pharmacy, and a serious wake-up call) shaped his approach to integrative care. And we dig into why people fall for bad health advice, how to spot the red flags, and what you can do instead. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health info or frustrated by medical systems that leave out the whole picture, this episode is for you. 00:00 | Meet Dr. Josh Levitt (Again) 02:30 | Medicine as a Bridge, Not a Binary 05:50 | The Problem with Extremes in Wellness 08:50 | Snake Oil: The Origin Story 12:05 | Essential Oils: Helpful or Hype? 17:15 | Buyer Beware: Scams, Grifters & the Gray Area 21:15 | Ear Candles: A Hot Mess (Literally) 26:00 | Gallbladder Flushes & Detox Culture 33:30 | Life After Gallbladder Surgery: What No One Tells You 39:15 | Why We're Still So Sick Find Dr. Josh: upwellness.com instagram.com/drjoshlevitt tiktok.com/@drjoshlevitt Find Stacy: ⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠ ⁠⁠missionmakersart.com Learn more about your ad choices.

A replay from VISIONS Summit: NYC featuring YouTuber and architect Dami Lee.From the stage of VISIONS Summit at MoMA, Dami Lee reveals why the most chaotic spaces often teach us the most about what it means to be human. As a licensed architect turned YouTube storyteller with over 200 million views, she's discovered that making architecture approachable isn't about simplifying complexity, it's about finding the human stories embedded in our built environment. Through her exploration of places like Kowloon Walled City, Dami demonstrates how the most profound spaces emerge not from master plans but from organic human adaptation, creating connections and meaning through what philosophers call "rhizomic growth."When a Deeper Connection Is Better Than a Wider OneKey takeaways:Human framing trumps technical perfection: No matter how many hours spent making content beautiful or technically accurate, none of it matters without taking time to make it human and frame architecture from a human angle.Personal investment drives authentic storytelling: Topics perform best when team members have genuine personal connections to the subject matter, leading to deeper research and more compelling narratives.Rhizomic processes create unexpected connections: Non-linear, seemingly inefficient creative processes allow for serendipitous discoveries and cross-categorical insights that wouldn't emerge through structured approaches.Extremes ignite curiosity: Audiences gravitate toward architectural stories that push boundaries—like the world's densest city—because extremes reveal fundamental truths about human behavior and adaptation.Associated Links:Check out Dami Lee on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

In this fiery commentary, the host exposes what he calls the radical drift of the Democratic Party, highlighting the rise of openly Marxist candidates advocating the abolition of police, the confiscation of property, and alleged antisemitic rhetoric. He connects these developments to escalating threats against Donald Trump, including Iranian fatwas and reports of missile smuggling across the U.S. border. Drawing on investigative reports and insider accounts, he warns that complacency in the Secret Service and the promotion of compromised supervisors is endangering Trump's life. This urgent monologue argues that the current political climate—tolerant of extremism and hostile to dissent—could have deadly consequences.

Tom Bilyeu takes us on a deep dive into the cautionary tale of Argentina—a country that once stood shoulder to shoulder with the world's wealthiest nations, only to crumble under the weight of hyperinflation, runaway debt, and political promises of “free stuff.” Drawing powerful parallels between Argentina's century-long decline and the current economic landscape in America, Tom unpacks the dangerous cycle created by debt-fueled policies, unchecked populism, and a culture that rewards taking over making. As the US inches closer to a tipping point with soaring debt and increasing political polarization, Tom explores the recurring patterns that have led countries astray and asks: Are we doomed to repeat Argentina's mistakes? Along the way, he introduces us to the key players and ideas shaping America's future—from Ayn Rand's philosophy of "makers vs. takers," to the rise of socialist policies in major cities, and the dramatic reforms in Argentina under Javier Milei. With a blend of historical insight, economic analysis, and actionable advice, this episode offers a roadmap for individuals, families, and policymakers on how to avoid economic disaster and reignite the spirit of innovation and prosperity. So buckle up for an episode that doesn't just diagnose the problem—but challenges you to be part of the solution.

In this compelling episode, I sit down with integrative medicine pioneer Dr. Jeffrey Dach, MD, to explore his holistic, science-backed approach to fighting cancer. Drawing from his powerful book The Cancer Toolkit, Dr. Dach explains the core mechanisms behind cancer development and progression, and the multifaceted toolkit he uses to address it, from off-label pharmaceuticals and checkpoint inhibitors, to nutritional protocols, repurposed drugs, and targeted supplements.

In this revealing conversation, freelance journalist and former coach Linda Flanagan describes how youth sports have transformed from neighborhood fun into a $30 billion industry that's reshaping American families. Drawing from her book "Take Back the Game: How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids' Sports and Why It Matters," Flanagan explores the cultural shifts since the 1970s that have turned children's athletics into high-stakes enterprises demanding extraordinary parental sacrifice.The Parental Pressure Paradox* Parents now spend an average of 202 minutes (over 3 hours) daily on their children's athletics* 36% of families reduce family vacations and struggle to save money due to sports expensesThe College Myth * Only 6-7% of high school athletes go on to play in college, and just 2% of these receive any athletic scholarship money.Red Flags to Watch For in Youth Sports* Family life revolving entirely around one child's sports schedule* Siblings feeling resentful or left behind* Parents' emotional wellbeing tied to their child's athletic performance* Pressure to specialize in one sport before adolescence* Sacrificing family relationships, activities, friendships, and personal interestsFlanagan's controversial but liberating advice: "Flee the bleachers at the middle school gym, skip the tournament at school across town, resuscitate your own interests and relationships instead."This isn't about not caring for your children—it's about showing them that:* Their activities belong to them, not you* Adult life has purpose and joy beyond child-serving* Independence and resilience are valuable life skills* Your wellbeing matters tooThe Bottom LineYouth sports can be wonderful for children when kept in proper perspective. The key is resisting cultural pressures that turn childhood athletics into family-consuming enterprises. By maintaining balance, protecting family relationships, and modeling fulfilling adult lives, parents can help their children enjoy sports without sacrificing everything else that makes life meaningful.Website: lindaflanaganauthor.comResources Mentioned* "Take Back the Game" by Linda Flanagan* Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program research* Beyond Stigma Documentary on Women in Collegiate SportsThanks for listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast and reading A Mind of Her Own!

Female Teachers Who Sexually Assault Male Students: Understanding a Complex IssueBill Eddy and Megan Hunter explore the concerning pattern of sexual misconduct between female teachers and male students. This episode examines the psychological, interpersonal, and cultural factors that contribute to these situations, while providing insights for prevention and awareness.Understanding the DynamicsResearch indicates these cases often involve teachers targeting older adolescents (15-16 years old), with interactions occurring both inside and outside school settings. The motivations tend to be emotionally-driven rather than predatory. While federal data doesn't track gender-specific statistics, anecdotal evidence suggests increased visibility of these cases in recent years.The behavioral patterns in these cases often reveal complex emotional attachment issues, where professional boundaries become increasingly blurred. Teachers who demonstrate this conduct typically exploit their position of authority while developing inappropriate emotional connections with students. This process frequently involves grooming behaviors, where the adult gradually manipulates the relationship dynamic through special attention, emotional manipulation, and progressive boundary violations.Questions We Answer in This Episode:What psychological factors contribute to this behavior?How does grooming manifest in educational settings?What are the impacts on teenage male victims?What warning signs should parents and schools watch for?How can educational institutions prevent these situations?Key Takeaways:Clear boundaries and oversight are essential in educational settingsSchools need comprehensive policies and annual trainingParents should maintain open communication about boundariesEarly intervention and awareness can prevent escalationProfessional support should be available for at-risk teachersThis episode provides valuable insights for educators, parents, and administrators while examining the complex factors that contribute to these concerning situations. Understanding these dynamics helps create safer educational environments and better protection for students.Additional ResourcesWatch the Full New York Post video “Psychologist Explains Why Female Teachers Have Sex With Students”OrganizationsRAINN (Help for men and boys who have been sexually assaulted or abused)Article: Sexual Assault of Men and BoysNational Sexual Assault Hotline: 800.656.HOPE (U.S.)1in6.org (Support for men who have experienced sexual abuse or assault)501(c)(3) Zero Abuse ProjectExpert PublicationsLessons to Learn: Female Educators Who Sexually Abuse Their Students (Psychiatric Times)How Female Sexual Abusers Groom Their Victims (Psychology Today - Dr. Elizabeth L.

If you want to support, and learn, you can donate hereShow notesThis week on The Spotlight, we put big claims, bold performances, and comeback stories under the microscope.In Discourse Digest (00:00), we discuss why Beatrice Chebet's near-world record 5000m is not a miss, just a delay. Then we shift to the French Open, where Carlos Alcaraz outlasted Jannik Sinner in a classic. Gareth asks whether Sinner's loss might be exactly what tennis (and Sinner) needed, and how their rivalry and reputations will shape the sport's next era.Listener Lens (15:50) features a question from listener Simon, returning from an injury-enforced layoff. Ross offers guidance on regaining lost fitness, why retraining happens faster than we think (the 1:2 rule of thumb), and why doing less will eventually give you the right to do more.Center Stage (22:34) is all about carbs, fat, and fuel—sparked by a tweet from Prof Tim Noakes after the Comrades Marathon. Having watched the race, Noakes claimed that “not a single lead athlete tried to ingest 90–120g/hour of carbohydrates,” and that they “know they don't need carbs to win Comrades” because “fat can provide essentially all the required energy.” We put those claims under the Spotlight, and checked with the elites. Turns out, they were targeting exactly those carb intakes. We explore the science and discover a huge capacity to increase fat oxidation as a function of diet, training and exercise intensity. But that doesn't mean carbs don't matter - we dig into evidence that carbs improve performance, delay fatigue, and enhance recovery. The real problem? Extremes. Whether it's high carb or no carb, just because you can doesn't mean you should.And finally (53:44)—Padel and Pickleball are booming. Why are they so popular, and will they dethrone tennis as the world's favourite racket sport?LinksThe article Gareth discusses about Sinner's loss being a win for tennisExample of a study where retraining restores strength to pre-detraining levels in half the time taken to lose them (note this is a study on strength, but the principle remains)Our Podcast interview with Louise Burke, where she explains everything you need to know about fats and carbs, and why fat underperforms as a fuelThe Podlogar study discussed on the show, where we don't burn all the ingested carbohydratesBurke's race walker study, with fat oxidation rates three times higher after fat adaptation, but with reduced economy and impaired performance benefitsVolek's study on fat adapted distance runners, also showing huge fat oxidation capacity Hosted on Acast.

// Der Sommer ist Gewitterzeit. In extreme Wettersituationen können wir aber jederzeit geraten – erlebe ich gerade auch hier in Costa Rica. Wie verhalten wir uns dann am besten? Was tun wir, wenn in den Bergen dunkle Wolken aufziehen, wo suchen wir in einem Wald Zuflucht? Wie schlimm ist es eigentlich, wenn ein Blitz im Wasser einschlägt und wir es nicht rechtzeitig an Land geschafft haben? Wie war nochmal diese Formel, um die Entfernung eines Gewitters zu berechnen? Und welche Einstellung brauchen wir, um nicht zerstört, sondern gestärkt aus Extremsituationen in der Natur hinauszugehen?

Deniz Ari: Why Great Product Owners Listen—Communication Lessons from Product Ownership Extremes The Great Product Owner: The Power of Clear Communication Deniz describes a truly exemplary Product Owner who excelled through outstanding communication skills. This PO was an exceptional listener who maintained openness throughout all interactions. They ensured the team thoroughly understood requirements and priorities, always clearly articulating the rationale behind decisions. With a well-defined product vision and transparent prioritization process, this PO successfully bridged the gap between the development team and clients. Deniz emphasizes how this clear communication style naturally fostered team motivation, as everyone understood not just what they were building, but why it mattered. The Bad Product Owner: The Tyrant PO Deniz shares a challenging experience with a problematic Product Owner during what initially appeared to be a straightforward public sector migration project with adequate budget and timeline. Despite these favorable conditions, the situation deteriorated when the PO began pushing the team to work overtime, overstepping boundaries by questioning architectural decisions, and inappropriately assuming Scrum Master responsibilities. Described as a "tyrant" or "despot," this PO exhibited extremely poor communication skills and preferred dictating rather than collaborating. When Deniz attempted to address these issues, the situation became so toxic that it affected Deniz's health, ultimately leading to their decision to leave the project. The PO subsequently claimed no Scrum Master was needed. Deniz reflects that sometimes the best option is to recognize when a situation cannot be changed and to move on. Self-reflection Question: What boundaries would you establish with a dominant Product Owner, and at what point would you decide that the situation cannot be improved?

Welcome back to Pushing the Limits for another insightful episode. Today, we dive into Kaatsu Training with Sandy Nelson, exploring how this blood flow restriction technique boosts bone density, muscle growth, and brain health for older adults and athletes. Key Points: Research suggests Kaatsu Training helps older adults with osteopenia by improving bone density. It seems likely that Kaatsu Training increases IGF-1 and BDNF, supporting muscle and brain health. The evidence leans toward Kaatsu Training offering neuroprotection, likely via BDNF. Kaatsu Training appears to enhance athlete performance, aiding recovery and strength. What is Kaatsu Training? Kaatsu Training, also known as Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training, is a method where special bands partially restrict blood flow to the limbs during exercise. This creates a hypoxic environment in the muscles, promoting growth and strength with lighter loads. It was developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato and is used for both rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Benefits for Older Adults and Osteopenia For older adults, Kaatsu Training can help combat osteopenia, a condition with low bone density. Studies suggest it can maintain or increase bone density, reducing fracture risk and supporting mobility, especially for those with joint issues like osteoarthritis. Its low-impact nature makes it suitable, allowing strength gains without excessive joint stress. Impact on IGF-1, BDNF, and Neuroprotection Research indicates Kaatsu Training increases Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), vital for muscle and bone health, and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), important for brain health. This likely contributes to neuroprotection, potentially reducing neurodegenerative disease risk by supporting cognitive function. Benefits for Athletes For athletes, Kaatsu Training can enhance performance by improving muscle strength and hypertrophy with lighter weights. It can also aid recovery by promoting growth hormones, reducing muscle damage, and allowing more frequent, intense training, benefiting Olympians and professional athletes.

Cult of Karen: Inside the Extremes of Her Supporters and Detractors An intoxicated woman. A dead police officer. A community split down the middle. What started as a tragic accident has spiraled into a full-blown war of public opinion, complete with viral conspiracy theories, witness intimidation, and phone dumps on army bases. In this chilling breakdown of the Karen Read case, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott helps unpack why average people have transformed into digital crusaders—camping outside courthouses, harassing witnesses, and clinging to narratives that might never be proven. What is it about this case that triggers such intense tribal loyalty? And how do internet echo chambers create alternate realities with devastating real-world consequences? From the psychology of conspiracies to the shady behavior of investigators, this conversation exposes how modern true crime isn't just about guilt or innocence—it's about identity. #karenread #karenreadtrial #johnokeefe #shavaunscott #truecrimepodcast #conspiracytheories #massachusettscrime #hiddenkillers #tonybruski #psychologyandcrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
