Miles de edificios de más de 50 años en la Comunitat Valenciana siguen sin pasar la Inspección Técnica de Edificios (ITE), obligatoria para detectar problemas estructurales, de accesibilidad o de seguridad. Arquitectos y administradores de fincas advierten de que la revisión es clave para conocer el estado real de los inmuebles y reclaman más control por parte de la administración. Aunque en los últimos años ha aumentado el número de comunidades que cumplen con esta obligación, todavía quedan muchos edificios pendientes, especialmente viviendas unifamiliares.En el ámbito político, el PP ha proclamado a sus candidatos para las alcaldías de València, Alicante y Castelló de cara a las próximas elecciones municipales. Además, Compromís ha denunciado ante la Agencia Valenciana Antifraude la subvención de cinco millones de euros concedida por la Generalitat para el rodaje de una producción de Disney en la Ciudad de la Luz, mientras que el PSPV critica la reforma de la ley de coordinación de policías locales mediante enmiendas a la ley de acompañamiento de los presupuestos.La actualidad se completa con la marcha del Orgullo LGTBI en Alicante, el aumento de la inversión de la Generalitat en festejos taurinos, que superará los 700.000 euros este año, y el cierre del FIB de Benicàssim tras su 30ª edición. En sucesos, la Guardia Civil ha detenido en Monserrat a un hombre acusado de intentar matar a su hermano durante un permiso penitenciario. Además, el tiempo seguirá marcado por noches muy cálidas y riesgo de tormentas con viento y granizo en zonas del interior.
En este episodio de El Ojo Crítico, la directora Nuria Ibáñez Castañeda presenta El Guardián, su primera película de ficción. La historia transcurre en una playa de Baja California (México), donde el desierto y el mar se encuentran. Allí vive un hombre que cuida un paraíso natural que protege cada día, aunque nunca llega a sentirlo como propio. Nacida a partir del documental Una corriente salvaje, la película convierte a Basilio Moncada en protagonista de su propia historia y propone una reflexión sobre la migración, la identidad, la explotación laboral y la pertenencia.El programa analiza también el nuevo disco de Cupido junto a María Taosa, repasando la trayectoria de una banda que ha sabido borrar las fronteras entre el indie y el mainstream con un sonido que combina pop, nostalgia y estética contemporánea.La literatura nos lleva hasta el Festival Celsius 232 de Avilés, donde Laura Fernández conversa con la escritora Desirée de Fez sobre No la dejes sola, una primera novela que mezcla terror, suspense y costumbrismo para explorar los vínculos familiares y los miedos cotidianos.La actualidad musical pasa por el Gran Teatre del Liceu de Barcelona, donde Josep Pons dirige Falstaff, la última ópera de Giuseppe Verdi, antes de despedirse como director musical del Liceu tras catorce temporadas.Cerramos el programa en el Festival Internacional de Benicàssim (FIB), que celebra su 30.º aniversario con artistas como The Kooks, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs y The Prodigy.Escuchar audio

Brian has been on a carnivore diet for almost 4 years. He was very overweight most of his adult life. In 2018, he developed A-Fib, and was having 2-3 paroxsymal A-Fib episodes per week before starting carnivore. Lower back and hip pain were so bad that he couldn't sleep longer than a couple of hours in bed at night. Brian also struggled with low energy, mild depression, joint pain, arthritis in his big toe, high triglycerides, low HDL, and low vitamin D. Within a few weeks on carnivore Brian was sleeping all night in bed, joint pain was going away, and he noticed A-Fib episodes were not happening. He lost 60 pounds in the first 3 months and 85 pounds over the first year and has maintained that weight loss since starting carnivore in July of 2022. Brian has gone over 3 1/2 years without a single A-Fib episode. His cardiologist has had him wear a heart monitor multiple times, including once for 30 days, and participate in a stress test and ultrasounds, showing no evidence of going into A-Fib anymore. In November of 2025 Brian had a CAC scan and it was 0. His HDL is improved and triglycerides are way down. His Vitamin D level is normal, and no longer has issues with joint pain or arthritis in the big toe. Starting carnivore at age 48, Brian is now 52 years old and feeling better than he did in his 30's.

This episode is a teaser for RACP LIFT 2026, a series of in-person events to promote Learning, Innovation and Forward Thinking. Coming up on the 1st of August in Melbourne there will be a Rapid Fire Clinical Update on Respiratory medicine, infectious diseases and critical illness. And on the 20th In Brisbane another one themed around Palliative medicine and also population health. In March, the Sydney RACP offices hosed a meeting on cardiometabolic and vascular health, and the talk shared here covers everything a generalist needs to know about metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. The seminar was presented by Professor Jacob George, Director of the Storr Liver Centre at the Westmead Institute for Medical Research, and author of over 1300 peer-reviewed papers. He explains why fatty liver disease is a "canary in the coal mine" for metabolic health more generally, how to diagnose using scans and bloods, and the use of the FIB-4 index. Professor George also describes how patients can be stratified and managed for risk of more complex liver disease and reviews outcomes from the latest pharmacological interventions.

Enjoy!
Esta semana en Toxicosmos desgranamos "¿Dónde está la ONU cuando más la necesitas?", el nuevo disco de Niña Polaca. Con él miran de frente al desconcierto de estos tiempos: la precariedad, la vivienda, la ansiedad, la desilusión y esa sensación de ir tirando mientras todo alrededor parece tambalearse. Y lo hacen convirtiendo el malestar cotidiano en canciones para corear, con estribillos luminosos, guitarras con pulso y una mezcla de rabia, ternura y costumbrismo generacional. Un disco que suena a presente, a conversación de bar, a domingo raro y a ganas de seguir cantando aunque el mundo no lo ponga fácil. Además te ponemos al día de la actualidad musical nacional escuchando las novedades que firman Victorias, Flecha Valona, Comandante Twin, Hanz Ruiz, La Estrella de David, Javier Iniesta, Alejo, Rubedenube, Kokoshca, Niños Bravos, Indiego, Pedro Guillén Nuñez, Señalada y La Azotea. En el apartado internacional los protagonistas son Future Islands, Arrows in Action, Schné, Butler & Cupples, Sol, Charlotte Bettner, Pierstone, Wadels y The Yearning. Te hablamos del valenciano Festival de les Arts mientras suenan La La Love You y Dorian. Y otro festival que también protagoniza nuestro programa es el FIB de Benicàssim del que te damos los últimos detalles acompañados de lo nuevo de Ultraligera y Carlangas. Nuestra versión de la semana la firman Viva Belgrado con un tema original de Triángulo de Amor Bizarro. Y el broche lo ponemos recordando el disco con el que La Buena Vida puso fin a su historia musical, hace justo 20 años.

In this episode of Liver Lineup, hosts Nancy Reau, MD, and Kimberly Brown, MD, are joined by Meena Bansal, MD, to examine how liver disease uniquely affects women across the lifespan. While conditions like metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are often discussed in broad terms, the trio highlights how risk, progression, and outcomes can differ significantly based on sex and hormonal status. From reproductive years through menopause and beyond, physiologic changes play a central role in shaping liver health, but these distinctions have historically been underrecognized in both research and clinical care.Key Episode Timestamps0:00:00 – Welcome & women's liver health framework0:03:17 – Menopause, estrogen loss, and fibrosis risk0:10:57 – PCOS, young women, and high‑risk metabolic phenotypes0:13:54 – Pregnancy, MASH, and maternal-fetal outcomes0:18:45 – Screening strategy, menopause as a pivot, and intervals0:28:03 – Practical toolkit: FIB‑4, second‑line tests, and who to test0:31:27 – Management, GLP‑1s, resmetirom, and key takeawayshttps://www.hcplive.com/view/liver-lineup-closing-the-gap-in-women-s-liver-health

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about... - Whether lying is a normal part of child development or a sign of a deeper issue. - What kids are actually trying to solve when they lie and how understanding that can change the way we respond as parents. - How lying can function as a stress response, similar to fight, flight, or freeze, especially for kids with developing executive functioning. - Why pushing for confessions, lectures, or punishments often backfires, leading to more power struggles and less honesty — and what to say in the moment instead. - How to teach honesty over time without making your child feel unsafe bringing you the big stuff later on. If your child has started lying and you find yourself wondering whether this is "normal," whether you should be worried, or how to handle it without condoning the behavior, this episode will help you respond with more calm, clarity, and confidence.

Our tour begins on the frigid rolling fields of the Palouse, where the Cougars will hope to shrug off their generally poor basketball skills and give the Zags a decent run. After taking in the sights and sounds of the Eastern reaches, the Gonzaga men will cross the scablands, ford the mighty Columbia and scale brave the Cascade passes to reach the fair Emerald City, where they will take on the Redhawks of Seattle University. Can the Redhawks repeat their impressive defensive performance in the Kennel? Or will they revert to their more recent form at 1-4 in conference? The FIB boys will make their predictions known. We'll close with a discussion of frustrating sports f-ups. Support the show at pateron.com/freeirabrown.
Gonzaga barely escaped the firece talons (beak? whatever) of the Redhawks of Seattle University, then proceeded to float merrily into their home tilt against the Lions of LMU. Much like the lion tamers of old, the Zags gently placed their head into the Lions' mouth, giving it the false sense of power, before pulling back and unloading their blunderbuss into the beasts heart. Too much metaphor? Maybe. In any event, the FIB boys will walk you thorugh both games, speculate further on Mario Saint-Supery's love life, and sing the praises of his highness of efficiency, Braden Huff. We'll then take a look at the upcoming game against Santa Clara, in which a high flyn' Broncos team will hope to steal some of the Redhawks' Kennel mojo (they will fail).

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss “Holiday Heart,” AKA atrial fabulation (A-Fib) when the heart beats like a bag of worms and is caused by excessive drinking alcohol and binge-drinking. It can really lead to A-fib, put you in the hospital and ruin the festivities and celebration. Doug and Dr. Ken agree that alcohol is overrated. They aren't alone. Statistics indicate that fewer and fewer people are drinking and less alcohol is being sold than years prior. Then, the conversation switches to the flu and a rapidly increasing number of flu-related hospitalizations. This year, the flu is not a single strain, showing mutations allowing it to evade current flu vaccines. Shifting focus to longevity and health, Doug and Dr. Ken address research on populations with super-agers shows they don't eat a lot of meat. For instance, many in Japan who live mostly on fish products tend to live an average of at least 10 years longer than those who eat meats. Additionally, those who eat highly processed meats tend to live shorter lives. Listener questions addressed include heightened digestive problems due to the holidays, how do we know what medications are best for us and how to trust Big Pharma, and much more.

Now I was back on my own, just me, myself, and I. But my attention stayed with my breath as it continued to flow in and out of me. "As long as I'm breathing, I'll know that I'm still alive," I thought. Now, I had been meditating for many, many years, and part of that practice is to focus on your breath, but this was completely different. Before, the breath was a calming presence. Now, it was literally my lifeline. Breathing no longer felt like an automatic process and I made no assumptions about it. As each breath went out, it was clear that the next one might not be coming in. Instead of just feeling an automatic, mechanical motion, it felt more and more like each breath coming into me was like I was receiving some kind of a consciously given gift. After some time, I started feeling a little better. My eyesight problem was still the same, but my system seemed to have stabilized a little. I got up and walked around the pool for a bit. I kept feeling better and better, but I still could barely see. I could make out the time on my watch and was surprised to see that the whole episode had happened in about 30 minutes. My wife, Sally, hadn't even come down to the pool yet. I decided to relax and see if I kept feeling better. Maybe my eyesight would clear up and it would all just pass. Sally came down about ten minutes later and she was pretty alarmed when she saw me. I felt a lot better, but she was very concerned. After a little while, she convinced me to go back up to our apartment with her and get into bed. I must have dozed off for a while because the next thing I knew, our family doctor walked into our bedroom. He was actually a member of our pool and when he got there for the day, some friends told him what was happening with me. He called Sally and she asked him to come up and give me a quick exam. I was surprised to see him. I asked him if he was planning on playing any golf over the weekend. He didn't answer. He just took one look at me and said, "You're going to the hospital right now. " He took my pulse and said to Sally, "Go get an ambulance and tell them it's urgent." When I heard the word "ambulance" I said to Sally, "Make sure they're taking me to Lankenau and not Roxborough," Our condo is on the border between two hospitals. Lankenau is much more of a suburban hospital and Roxborough is located within the city limits. They always tell you to pick Lankenau if you get your choice. She came back in the room in a matter of moments. "OK," she said to me, "They're on their way over and they're taking you to Lankenau." "Is that for certain?" I asked. "Absolutely," she answered. "They understood completely. There's no question about it at all." At that point, a whole different momentum started and I realized that my responsibilities in the world had just come to an end. I was about to become a patient, and the only thing I had to do was cooperate with the people who were about to take care of me. Whatever they told me to do, I would do. It was all out of my hands now. Was I going to live? Or was I about to die? Who could say? I thought I had been feeling better, but from the look on my doctor's face, it was obvious that I was clearly in serious trouble. All that I had left now was my breath. It was the only thing that I could rely upon. "As long as I can feel my breath, I'll know I still have a body," I thought. "If I'm still conscious, but I can't feel my breath anymore, then I'll know the change has happened and I'll just have to take it from there. But as long as I'm still breathing, I'm still here." The ambulance came within a few minutes and I was on my way. The next 36 hours were pretty much of a blur. Sally told me later that I wasn't given any drugs or sedatives at all, but I kept drifting in and out of consciousness. They took me to Lankenau, which is one of the top hospitals in our area. But after a CAT Scan, they immediately decided that my condition was critical and rushed me downtown to the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital of Neuroscience in the middle of the night. They determined that I was long past the point where they could have given me a "clot buster" to take care of the stroke. There was absolutely nothing they could do now but put me in intensive care and monitor me closely. While they hoped for the best, they gravely told Sally to prepare for the worst. "Stay with him. Hold his hand. Talk to him," they said. "We might lose him tonight. Just…just don't let him slip away…" The next thing I became aware of, I was lying in a hospital bed and Sally was holding my hand. When I opened my eyes and looked at her, she looked like she had really been through hell. She told me that I had been out of it for about 36 hours. "You've had a stroke," she said. "But you're going to be alright," she assured me calmly and kept holding my hand. I looked around. I was obviously in an intensive care room. I moved every part of my body to see if everything was working okay and it was. I actually felt fine. Two close friends of mine had been through small stroke episodes over the past year. They were mini-strokes. They had to stay in the hospital overnight and then they went home. They were told that it wasn't a big deal. I was pretty sure that's what had happened to me. I felt completely fine. My vision had cleared up, except I had lost a small part of my upper left peripheral vision. But other than that, I seemed fine. Doctors and nurses came and went over the next half hour. They seemed happy to see that I was awake and gave me some very quick exams. One of them told Sally that I seemed to be doing pretty well and that she could take a break. I don't know how long she had been there for, but she decided to go stretch her legs a little and get some coffee. The room that I was in had no windows, so it was impossible to tell what time of day it was. One of the nurses suggested that I relax and doze off for a little. Soon, I was lying in the room by myself. I closed my eyes to take it easy, but I had a funny experience. I found that I had some kind of inner vision. I could clearly see images inside of myself with my eyes closed. I saw an endless parade of black and white sketches. They were all of rabbis dressed in religious clothing, all from centuries long ago. It was crystal clear. There must have been hundreds of them, one right after another. Black and white sketch after sketch. It went on for a really long time. Then suddenly, instead of sketches, a small grey statue appeared. It was the image of the Madonna holding the Holy Child and it was really exquisite. As I stared at it, it rotated, giving me several different views. Then, all of a sudden, a full color figure burst out of the Madonna part of the statue. And to my shock and surprise, it was Wonder Woman, the comic book character. She was in her red, blue and gold outfit and she was wearing her bright gold crown on her head. She was standing on the ledge of a mountain and I noticed that she was holding a large grey sack. She looked at me, pulled her gold crown down over her eyes like a visor and flew into my brain. I watched as she methodically pulled glob after glob of bloody tissue out of my brain and put it into her sack. This went on for quite a while. Finally, she flew back out of my brain, and landed on the ledge of the mountaintop. She lifted the visor of her crown off of her eyes and put it back on top of her head. She looked at me and even though she was a miniature version of herself, she seemed to be the embodiment of raw power. She gave me a strong salute, grabbed the bag full of bloody brain material and flew away. I must have drifted off to sleep after that, because the next thing I knew, I awoke to Sally holding my hand again. She said I'd been out for about an hour. * * * Sometime a bit later, a very important looking doctor came walking into the room. He looked like he was in his middle sixties and was surrounded by about five medical students who were obviously studying under him. He introduced himself to me and told me that he was the actual head of the hospital. He gave me a quick examination and said a few things to his students. Then he sat down on the bed and looked me straight in the eyes. "David," he began. "It's really important that you understand something. What you had was not a mini-stroke or a TIA or anything like that. What you had was a major neurological episode that could have killed you in about three seconds, or maimed you permanently for the rest of your life. "You could have been blinded, paralyzed, lost your ability to speak, or all of it at the same time." I was completely taken by surprise. I had no idea that any of that was true. I had basically been in a very comfortable, dreamy state, with absolutely no sense of danger. "Now it looks like you're going to walk away from this whole thing basically unharmed. But you're going to have to take care of your Atrial Fibrillation. The stroke was a direct result of it," he concluded. "Really?" I asked. "Absolutely," he replied. "There's no question about it. The clot came straight from your heart." I had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat, about six months earlier. I had been treated with medication, but apparently it didn't help. "Listen, the chances of walking away unscathed from a stroke of this magnitude are less than one in a thousand. You can't reach back into the deck and pull out another card like this again. You have to take care of the A-Fib when you get out of here. "Which brings me to another point," he continued. 'We're keeping you here for another ten days until we know your blood has been thinned down. We have to protect you from having another stroke. "The next forty-eight hours are critical though. Even though the worst is over, it's still possible that you can have some swelling of the brain or even some brain bleeding. There can be damaged tissue involved. It's not uncommon with a stroke. So we're going to keep a really close watch on you. Suddenly, in my mind, I flashed on an image of Wonder Woman. As if sending me a message, she triumphantly held up the bag full of bloody material she had pulled out of my brain. "But as it is, you're looking pretty good," the doctor concluded and gave me a big smile. He looked over at a bulletin board on the wall. There was a sign that said," David, Your Assignment Today Is To EAT." "Oh yeah," he said and pointed to the sign. "Eat, David. Eat up! You haven't had anything in your system for a long time. You have to make up for it." He gave me another very kind smile and walked out of the room, the five medical students trailing behind him. They closed the door and I was left alone in the dimly lit environment. I took a few breaths and let this new information sink into me. I had survived a major neurological episode that could have killed me in a matter of seconds or seriously injured me on a permanent basis. But now, according to this major medical authority, all was well. It was all way too much for me to process at that point but for some reason, I suddenly flashed on Wonder Woman holding that bagful of bloody brain matter, and her look of absolute assurance as she put her crown back on her head and gave me a warm salute that seemed to convey a deeply positive essence, rooted in the very power behind infinity. And as I intuitively let go of it all, I could feel the breath continue coming into me and going out. Coming in and going out. It was the same as it ever was, only very different…
On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with new research on early Alzheimer's warnings, particularly for those with hearing loss. This news continues to emphasize the importance of getting your hearing tested, especially if your loved ones point out you aren't hearing them (since many don't want to acknowledge hearing issues themselves). Additionally, a study suggested listening to music may lower your rate of dementia. Because there is no cure for dementia, prevention is important. Listening to music is helpful, and playing an instrument is even better. Next up, a new blood test can help diagnose the severity of head trauma when a concussion occurs, good news out of the Mayo Clinic looking at a minor procedure to get a stint in a blood vessel instead of a major surgery with the carotid artery, and the benefits of a low-dose aspirin for heart health in some (it is no longer universally recommended), and how it is also being shown to help diabetic patients specifically.Moving on, there's new data on coffee consumption, looking at drinking one cup of caffeinated coffee per day may significantly lower a person's risk of recurrent A-Fib episodes by as much as 39%. Rounding out the conversation, Doug and Dr. Ken answer listener questions, including colitis flare ups post-Thanksgiving indulgence, as well as causes and symptoms, in addition to foods that have microplastics in them at a higher rate than ever before. Those foods include sea salt, beer, shellfish, rice, apples, carrots, even tea. Now, the question begs, is this enough to be causing harm, or is this just a measurement used as a scare tactic. Doug and Dr. Ken discuss. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor field your most urgent metabolic health questions—exploring care advocacy, novel drug use, lab results, and how to filter fact from fiction in the TikTok age. Dr. Cooper offers clinical clarity, real-world perspective, and actionable hope—with an emphasis on what truly matters for your long-term health and energy.Hear from listeners experiencing real breakthroughs (and challenges) with GLP-1s, get tips for navigating confusing cholesterol results, and learn why self-advocacy and good science matter more than credentials or hype. This is not a quick-fix episode; it's real metabolic medicine, mythbusting, and grounded encouragement for your health journey.Key Questions AnsweredWhat labs and scores best assess your true metabolic risk—and how do you make sense of fasting glucose, glucose-insulin ratio (GIR), and FIB-4?How can you find a medical provider who'll actually give you the time and attention metabolic care requires?Why do GLP-1s benefit more than weight loss alone? Listeners report help with sleep apnea, inflammation, and food noise—what does the science say?How should you reintroduce carbs after restriction, and what's the safest way to monitor (beyond A1C)?What's up with rising cholesterol on Zepbound, and when do you worry?Does serotonin syndrome relate to GLP-1s? (Short answer: No—Dr. Cooper explains why.)What are the dangers of “GLP-1 microdosing” as pushed by social media, and what happens when influencers overstep good science?Key TakeawaysCare that cares: The best doctor isn't always the most credentialed—find someone, MD, NP, or PA, who takes your questions seriously and goes deeper than the surface. Labs that matter: Fasting glucose, insulin, GIR, HbA1c, plus advanced lipid testing (CardioIQ, NMR) are critical for uncovering hidden risk—not just chasing numbers. GLP-1s act broadly: Listeners see gains in sleep, inflammation, and appetite regulation. These benefits are real, not just anecdotal, and Dr. Cooper shares the clinical rationale. Smart fueling, even on GLP-1s: If you lack hunger cues, “mechanical eating” prevents under-fueling and cellular stress—especially important for maintaining muscle and metabolism. Rethinking “microdosing”: TikTok trends are not medical advice—microdosing with black-market GLP-1s is unproven, poorly regulated, and potentially unsafe. Rely on trusted, legal medication sources only. Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsRequest a full panel for metabolic health: ask your provider about fasting insulin, GIR, HbA1c, lipids, and FIB-4—even if you haven't been flagged as “at risk”. For those on GLP-1s: Don't skip meals; create a schedule with protein and fiber to avoid muscle loss and ensure micronutrient intake. Experiencing cholesterol shifts on medication? Ask for a breakdown (HDL, LDL, particle size) and consider advanced panels (CardioIQ, NMR) to better understand your risk. If reintroducing carbs after restriction, pair them with protein or fat and test glucose/insulin at intervals post-meal to personalize your plan. Avoid unregulated “microdosing” and buy only from reputable, FDA-approved outlets—protect your long-term health over quick fixes.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan examines President Trump's defense of his plan to double the number of Chinese students in America, Beijing's latest moves to weaponize rare earth minerals, the deepening conflicts in Gaza and Guinea, and how Sweden's cultural war on assimilation mirrors the decline of the West. He closes with promising new medical breakthroughs on Alzheimer's, cancer, heart rhythm, and anxiety. Trump Defends 600,000 Chinese Student Visas: President Trump told Fox News that Chinese students keep American colleges solvent, calling the plan "a business decision." Critics, including Laura Ingraham, warned that Chinese nationals pose espionage and bioweapon risks, while Trump insisted, "MAGA was my idea — I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else." Bryan argues the move exposes Trump's blind spot: treating adversaries as business partners instead of ideological foes. China's Rare Earth Slowdown: Xi Jinping is quietly delaying rare earth export licenses for U.S. buyers, especially those tied to military contracts, while expanding Chinese control of mines in Brazil and Central Asia. Bryan warns that "Beijing seeks domination, not cooperation — we can never trust China on anything." Gaza, Guinea, and the Global Chessboard: Trump's Pentagon is exploring a new base near Gaza to support a 10,000-member Arab stabilization force, while King Abdullah of Jordan says no Arab nation wants to "touch that mission." In Africa, China now controls the world's largest iron-ore mine in Guinea, giving it leverage to flood global steel markets and crush Western industry. Sweden's Self-Destruction: Leftist mayors in Sweden argue that native Swedes must integrate with Arab migrants, not the other way around. Bryan calls it "civilizational suicide" and a warning for America's future: "When a culture stops believing in itself, it dies." Good News in Medicine: Scientists report that NAD⁺ supplements may reverse Alzheimer's symptoms, a high-fiber diet improves melanoma survival, coffee may reduce A-Fib risk, and choline — found in salmon and eggs — helps ease anxiety. Bryan calls it "proof that science, faith, and common sense can still work together." "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump Chinese student visas Fox News, Laura Ingraham MAGA debate, China rare earth exports Xi Jinping, Gaza stabilization force Jordan Abdullah, Guinea Simandou iron mine Rio Tinto, Sweden migrant assimilation debate, NAD Alzheimer's research, coffee A-Fib study, choline anxiety nutrient

In this essential episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Monica Tincopa, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Diego, for a crucial conversation about Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and its profound implications for cardiovascular care. Dr Tincopa guides listeners through the recent transformation from NAFLD to MASLD, explaining why this nomenclature change represents more than just terminology, instead reflecting a deeper understanding of metabolic health that directly impacts cardiology practice. The conversation explores practical screening strategies that cardiologists can implement immediately, including the use of FIB-4 risk stratification and recognizing incidental findings on cardiac imaging. Dr Tincopa shares insights on when to refer patients to hepatology specialists and how the shared risk factors between MASLD and cardiovascular disease create opportunities for comprehensive patient care. This episode equips cardiologists with essential knowledge to identify at-risk patients within their existing practice, understand the cardiovascular implications of liver disease, and optimize care coordination for patients with overlapping metabolic conditions. Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode.

One in three adults now has fatty liver disease, and most don't even know it. It's become the most common form of liver dysfunction worldwide—even outpacing alcohol-related liver damage. And the real danger? It often progresses in silence, from fat to inflammation to fibrosis, with no symptoms until it's too late.In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie exposes a quiet transformation that's becoming alarmingly common: the metabolic cascade behind fatty liver. It doesn't start with pain or obvious signs. It starts with subtle shifts in biochemistry that most protocols completely miss.Before the liver scars, there are clues. And if you know where to look, you can help reverse the damage long before it becomes permanent.What's Inside This Episode? Why liver damage is now driven more by food than by alcoholThe signals that mark the shift from fat accumulation to fibrosisWhat “normal” AST and ALT might be hiding, and how to interpret themA critical lab ratio that reveals what single values can'tEarly metabolic signs that point to liver inflammation before imaging shows a thingTherapeutic strategies to restore liver function, starting with the kitchenHow trauma and oxytocin tie into liver recoveryThe botanical allies that protect and regenerate hepatic tissueResources and Links:Download our FREE Metabolic Health Guide here.

A Heartwarming Exploration of Adoption and Honesty in Children's Literature In this captivating episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty delves into the transformative world of children's literature with two remarkable authors who are changing narratives about family, truth, and love. Allison Olson, an adoptive parent and adopted child herself, shares her groundbreaking book series "Surrounded by Love," which revolutionizes how adoption stories are told. With a mission to create inclusive, positive representations of adoption, Olson's books celebrate the love between birth families and adoptive families. Her innovative approach highlights the importance of open adoption, where 90% of modern adoptions now allow communication between birth and adoptive families. Switching gears, Pedro Iniguez brings a unique perspective with his debut picture book "The FIB," a clever story about a young boy whose small lie grows into a monster. Drawing from his background in horror writing, Inigas crafts a compelling moral tale that teaches children about the consequences of dishonesty in a fun, engaging way. Both authors demonstrate the power of children's literature to normalize complex experiences. Olson's books show that families come in all shapes and sizes, while Iniguez' uses metaphor to explore difficult topics like truth-telling. Their work goes beyond entertainment, offering valuable life lessons and promoting empathy. The episode explores profound themes: the beauty of adoption, the importance of representation, and the delicate art of storytelling for young minds. Listeners will be inspired by these authors' commitment to creating meaningful, inclusive children's books that reflect the diverse experiences of modern families. Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply love children's literature, this episode offers fascinating insights into how books can shape understanding, celebrate diversity, and teach important life lessons. Don't miss this heartwarming, thought-provoking conversation that proves children's books are about so much more than just bedtime stories.

What if the first signs of metabolic breakdown aren't in the pancreas or the blood sugar but hidden deep in the liver?In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie takes you inside the metabolic feedback loop few practitioners are trained to detect. Long before glucose rises or A1C shifts, subtle signals in the liver may already be pointing to a much bigger problem. They're easy to miss, unless you know where to look. Discover the early biochemical whispers of insulin resistance, the hidden drivers of liver fat accumulation, and the lab markers most clinicians overlook. If your clients “look normal” on paper but still struggle, this is the episode you can't afford to skip.What's Inside This Episode?The silent organ shift that can signal metabolic trouble before blood sugar ever changesA hidden fat-making process your body might be running without your consentHow a sweet addiction quietly derails liver function and energy productionThe overlooked lab markers that whisper metabolic distress long before diagnosisA little-known score that could change how you assess “normal” labsSimple but strategic actions that tip the scales from fatty liver to functional healthHow small shifts in timing and nutrients may unlock powerful liver regenerationWhy stable glucose isn't the full story, and the signal you might be missingResources and Links:Download our FREE Metabolic Health Guide here.

This week we have...Mike and Bill on Hump Day! Yes, we have plans this weekend, so we recorded early. Not that it matters, but we are telling you either way.Mike kicked things off with his reading and it was about life on life's terms. Things happen (good, bad and indifferent), but how we handle those things is what matters. Do we want to be part of the problem or part of the solution? It was a good talk. We chatted about the Cracker Barrel (who hasn't, right?) and yes, that was the inspiration for "The Caucasian Container" title. Then it was the new season, Marc Maron and free-styling, pure Michigan, Higher Power stuff, good news, perfect is boring, the radio gig wrap up, the F*cking Sober Podcast and grandkids.We mentioned that we have plans this weekend. Mike and Chris are in Alaska and Bill is hanging out with FIB's in the southern part of the FIB state.
